Guo Jing's voice is like a bell. This sentence has shocked everyone on both sides of the battlefield.

Wuliang Hetai said coldly, "threaten me? I'm loyal to the country. Will I still be afraid of death? All the officers and men listen to the order and attack the great victory pass! Who can win the head of Guo Jing, seal the commander of thousands and reward thousands of liang of gold!"

The Mongolian generals cheered for a while and conveyed the general order of Wuliang Hetai to their subordinates. Just under the so-called reward, there must be brave men. The momentum of the Mongolian army suddenly rose and began to push towards the city wall.

Chen Xin saw this scene on the wall, his face was a little blue, and shouted, "all the officers and soldiers listen to my command and shoot arrows!"

The archers guarding the city bent their bows and took arrows one after another. A shower of arrows shot out, and the Mongolian soldiers raised their shields to resist. After the shower of arrows, there were not many casualties, but delayed the process of their attack.

Guo Jing is not idle. His archery is taught by the Mongolian archery God Zhebei. Now he has deep internal power and his archery is already better than the blue. He bent his bow and shot more than a dozen arrows, each of which could directly penetrate the enemy's shield, and immediately killed more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers.

When the Jianghu heroes on the wall saw Guo Jing's great power, they all cheered better. Guo Jing frowned deeply. They only saw that he shot and killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers, but he saw that the enemy's morale was high and was pressing step by step. If the morale of the defenders is broken, it will be completely over.

He knew that no matter how strong his archery was, he could not play any role 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 soldiers guarding the city.

Seeing that the damage of bows and arrows to the enemy was limited, Chen Xin ordered again: "order the crossbow team to attack and shoot these Tartars hard for me!"

As soon as the order was given, a team of men and horses appeared on the head of the city. The number of people in this team was not large, only less than 1000, but each of them had a sharp weapon in their hands, which was the divine arm crossbow, which was known as the peak of single long-range weapons in ancient China!

Shenarm crossbow was born in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its production technology has been 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 nomads in the north at that time.

Although the divine arm crossbow is powerful, its manufacturing process is quite complex and expensive. The general army is simply unable to equip it. Dasheng pass was an important pass to resist the southern invasion of the Mongolian army, so the Southern Song court equipped the garrison with divine arm crossbow. The number is not much, only 900, so the crossbow team has only 900 people.

When the crossbow team boarded the city, it was a round of volley. Suddenly, a large number of Mongolian soldiers were killed and injured. Then they fired again, and hundreds of people fell with arrows.

Huang Rong said a few words in Chen Xin's ear. Chen Xin's eyes lit up and shouted, "pass my order: the crossbow team is divided into three groups, one group shoots arrows, one group fills arrows, one group pulls bowstrings, and three groups launch in turn!"

If Guo Lingfeng stood on the wall at the moment, she would be surprised. Huang Rong is worthy of being a Zhuge in women's middle school. She has watched the fierce battle between the garrison and the Mongolian army for many times these days, 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. Before the Mongolian army was forced under the city wall, large-scale casualties began to appear.

Some people say that there should be a crossbow in the Southern Song Dynasty? Didn't Zhuge Liang invent the Zhuge crossbow as early as the end of the southeast? Why don't you take it out?

Whether it is an ordinary crossbow or Zhuge crossbow, in fact, the range is very close, only 20 or 30 meters. The most important advantage of the crossbow is its fast launch speed, but it has no function of long-range attack. It is more suitable for street warfare.

In the later Ming Dynasty, the royal guards were equipped with many crossbows. Most of them experienced street battles in cities and towns, and the crossbows could play a great role.

Although there are tens of thousands of Mongolian troops this time, they lack siege equipment. There are only some wooden ladders, such as wells, ladders and siege vehicles. Therefore, they will lose their troops and make no achievements in the past ten days.

The Mongolian army has always been good at field operations. Their cavalry are invincible with machetes, but attacking the city has always been their weakness.

The Han people in the Southern Song Dynasty were inferior to them in physical fitness, equestrian skills, and even courage, but the Han people were very good at guarding the city.

Han people will use all means to fight the city defense war. They will use various city defense instruments such as bow, arrow, crossbow, log, rolling stone and hot oil. Another is called "golden soup".

"Golden soup" is actually boiled dung juice. When it is spilled on people, it can not only burn people to death, but also lead to collapse if the skin is stained with a little hot oil. It is even the most primitive "biochemical weapon".

Over the past ten days, many soldiers of the Mongolian army have suffered from "golden soup". After being injured, they will completely lose their combat effectiveness for a long time.

Seeing that the army's offensive was not going well, Wu Liang Hetai shouted, "I will order that those who climb to the head of the city first will be granted the commander of thousands, reward 100 good horses, 500 cattle and sheep!"

The morale of the Mongolian army was greatly boosted. They kept moving forward with shields and arrows, and finally attacked under the city wall. Many soldiers had begun to set up wooden ladders to climb up.

Under the command of Chen Xin, the garrison began to throw stones and logs under the wall. They cooked a lot of golden soup and boiling oil. Now they are also in use and began to pour down on the Mongolian soldiers.

Guo Jing and his team began to walk on the upper reaches of the city wall. They shot down hidden weapons such as locust stones from time to time. They appeared wherever there was danger.

Lu Youjiao, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi also joined the regiment. They have excellent martial arts. Whenever Mongolian soldiers are about to climb the city wall, they will be ruthlessly killed by them and then fall down.

Seeing that the offensive of the army had finally achieved initial results, Wu Liang Hetai arranged archers to shoot at the city wall, but their horse bows had a close range and could not pose a substantive threat to the soldiers of the song army.

A man like a military division whispered a few words beside Wu lianghetai. Wu lianghetai pondered for a moment and immediately said, "OK, immediately arrange the people of the master camp to attack!"

I saw several figures with one or two hundred people moving forward quickly. Facing the arrows, they just stirred and lifted them easily. There is no doubt that they are all people with high martial arts.

The team rushed to the bottom of the city wall and quickly climbed up several wooden ladders. The garrison soldiers kept throwing stones and other objects down. They just held up shields to block it, and the climbing speed did not slow down at all.

This team is the "master camp" established by Kublai Khan for a long time. There are only one or two hundred people in total, but each person has martial arts. At present, the leaders of the "master camp" are Nemo Xing, xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi.
