(Today's first update, please collect, subscribe, recommend, monthly, reward!)

Guo Jing's voice was like a torrent of bells, and everyone on both sides of the battlefield was deafened.

Wu Liang Hetai said coldly: "Threat me? I, Wu Liang Hetai, will be loyal to the country, and still be afraid of death? All the soldiers obey the order and attack Dasheng Pass! Who can win Guo Jing's head and make him a thousand commander? Reward a thousand taels of gold!"

The Mongolian generals cheered for a while, and conveyed the general order of Wuliang Hetai to their subordinates one after another.As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and the momentum of the Mongolian army suddenly rose and began to advance towards the city wall.

Chen Xin turned blue when he saw this scene on the city wall, and shouted: "All soldiers listen to my order and shoot arrows!"

The archers defending the city bent their bows and set arrows one after another, and a rain of arrows shot out. The Mongolian soldiers raised their shields to resist. After the rain of arrows, there were not many casualties, but their progress of attack was delayed.

Guo Jing was not idle either, his archery technique was taught by the Mongol god of arrows, Zhebe, and now his inner strength is deep, and his archery technique has long since been mastered.He bent his bow and shot more than a dozen arrows one after another, each of which could directly penetrate the enemy's shield, killing more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers in just a few minutes.

Seeing Guo Jing's display of supernatural power, all the heroes on the city wall cheered and cheered.Guo Jing's brows were deeply furrowed, everyone saw him shooting and killing a dozen enemy soldiers, but he saw the enemy's morale was high and they were pressing on every step of the way.If the morale of the defenders drops, it will be completely over.

He knew that even though his archery skills were strong, it would not be of much use in such a battlefield with tens of thousands of troops, but it was just a drop in the bucket.The only role it can play is to inspire people and improve the morale of the defenders.

Seeing that the bows and arrows can only do limited damage to the enemy, Chen Xin ordered again: "Order the crossbow team to attack, and shoot these Tartars hard for me!"

As soon as the order was issued, a group of people soon appeared on the top of the city.

The number of people in this team is not large, less than 1000, but each of them has a sharp weapon in their hands, which is known as the pinnacle of single-person long-range weapons in ancient China-the god arm crossbow!

The god arm crossbow was born in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its production technology was very mature in the Southern Song Dynasty.This kind of crossbow is powerful, with a maximum range of more than 370 meters. It can penetrate the enemy's heavy armor. It was the most powerful weapon for the Han people to deal with the northern nomads at that time.

Although the divine arm crossbow is powerful, its production process is quite complicated and expensive, and the general army simply cannot equip it.Dashengguan is an important pass to resist the Mongolian army's southern invasion, so the Southern Song Dynasty equipped the defenders with god-arm crossbows, but the number was not large, only 900, so this crossbow team only had 900 people.

When the crossbow team climbed to the top of the city, they fired a volley. Suddenly, a large number of Mongolian soldiers were killed and injured. Then they fired again, and hundreds of people fell down with arrows.

Huang Rong whispered a few words in Chen Xin's ear. Chen Xin's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Give me an order. The crossbow team is divided into three groups. One group shoots arrows, one group fills arrows, one group pulls the bowstring, and the third group draws the bowstring. Teams take turns launching!"

If Guo Lingfeng was on the city wall at this moment, he would be very surprised. Huang Rong is worthy of being Zhuge in the female middle school. Over the past few days, she has watched the fierce battle between the defenders and the Mongolian army many times, and finally made her realize the principle of "three-stage shooting".

After the crossbow team began to use three-stage shooting, the efficiency was much higher than before. The Mongolian army began to suffer large-scale casualties before they were forced under the city wall.

Some people say, why not use Liannu?Hadn't Zhuge Liang invented the Zhuge Liannu as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?

Regardless of whether it is an ordinary Liannu or Zhuge Liannu, the shooting range is actually very short, only 30 to [-] meters.The most important advantage of the continuous crossbow is its fast firing speed, but it cannot be used for long-range strikes, and is more suitable for use in street fighting.

In the later Ming Dynasty, Jin Yiwei was equipped with many Liannu, and most of what they experienced was street fighting in towns, and Liannu could play a great role in this situation.

Although there are tens of thousands of Mongolian troops this time, they lack siege equipment and only have some wooden ladders.There are no wells, ladders, siege vehicles, etc., so in the past ten days, the troops will be lost and the troops will be destroyed.

The Mongolian army has always been good at field battles. Their cavalry are invincible with scimitars, but siege has always been their weakness.

The Han people in the Southern Song Dynasty were inferior to them in terms of physical fitness, horsemanship, and even courage, but the Han people were very good at defending the city.

The Han people would use bows and arrows, crossbows, wood, rolling stones, hot oil and other tools for defending the city, and there is another kind called "golden soup".

"Golden soup" is actually boiled hot dung juice. When this thing is splashed on people, it can not only burn people to death, but also cause ulcers if it touches the skin. Hot oil is even more terrible, and it can even be regarded as the most primitive. "Bioweapon".

In the past ten days, many soldiers in the Mongolian army have suffered from the "gold soup", and they will completely lose their combat effectiveness for a long time after being injured.

Seeing that the army's offensive was not going well, Wu Liang yelled loudly: "I pass on my general's order, whoever reaches the top of the city first will be made a thousand commanders, and will be rewarded with [-] good horses, and [-] cattle and sheep each!"

The morale of the Mongolian army was immediately boosted. They continued to advance with shields and arrows, and finally attacked the bottom of the city wall. Many soldiers quickly set up wooden ladders to climb up.

Under Chen Xin's command, the defenders began to throw stones and wood under the city wall. They boiled a lot of gold soup and boiling oil, which were also used at this moment, and began to pour down on the Mongolian soldiers.

Guo Jing led his team and began to wander around the city wall. From time to time, they shot down locust rocks and other hidden weapons, and they appeared wherever there was danger.

Lu Youjiao, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and the others also joined the battle group. They were highly skilled in martial arts. Whenever a Mongolian soldier tried to climb the city wall, they would be ruthlessly killed by them, and then fell down.

Seeing that the army's offensive had finally achieved initial results, Wu Lianghe arranged for archers to shoot over the city wall. However, their horse bows had a short range and could not pose a substantial threat to the soldiers of the Song army.

A man with the appearance of a military adviser whispered a few words beside Wu Liang Hetai, Wu Liang Hetai pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "Okay, immediately arrange the people from the master battalion to attack!"

I saw a few figures leading 200 people forward at high speed. The few people in front of them could easily defuse the arrows that were shot at them. They were undoubtedly people with high martial arts skills.

The team rushed to the bottom of the city wall and quickly climbed up several wooden ladders. The defenders kept throwing stones and other objects down, but they just held up their shields to block them, and the speed of climbing did not slow down at all.

This team is the "Master Battalion" established by Kublai Khan after a long time of painstaking efforts during his lifetime. There are only one or two hundred people in total, but everyone has martial arts.The current leaders are Nimoxing, Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi.
