"Attack the city! Capture the dog emperor alive and you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and be granted the title of marquis!" The siege slogan of the Jin soldiers.
The bonus was too tempting, so the Jin soldiers launched a frenzied attack on Xianping Prefecture.
The crossbow, a powerful siege weapon of the Song Dynasty, now became Wanyan Zonghan's secret weapon against Zhang Xiandao.
The Jin people obtained this powerful weapon from the Song Dynasty and transported it to the front line.
This is not scary enough, what is even scarier is the catapult.
Dozens of catapults were set up, waiting for Wanyan Zonghan's order at any time.
These heavy weapons were Wanyan Zonghan's last assets. He had originally planned to fight to the death with the Song army or the Mongols after they attacked Shangjing.
Zhang Xian was secretly frightened. He knew that if he could not hold Xianping, and the emperor was still on his way to escape south, if he was attacked by the Jin people, the situation in the Song Dynasty would change.
The Jinying Emperor's Golden-roofed Imperial Guard was right in front. The square position, neat formation, and distinctive iron armor made Zhang Xian know that this was the trump card in Wanyan Zonghan's hand.
Wanyan Zonghan was at ease, sitting comfortably on his dragon sedan chair and waving his hand gently.
The generals below bowed and received the order, and the crossbows were tightened. Several horses were whipped and strode with difficulty, pulling the capstan.
The bed crossbow creaked, finally putting the capstan into place.
Following the command of the commanding officer, with a "whoosh..." sound, the giant crossbow made a sharp whistling sound and flew straight to the top of the city.
The crossbow tip pierced the air with a sharp whistling sound, and with a "bang", it penetrated the huge rock on the city wall.
Hundreds of crossbows were nailed to the city walls with sky-breaking power. When the Jin soldiers attacked the city, they could use these crossbows to climb up the city walls.
Trebuchets, huge stones fell on the city wall. The Song army was in panic and dodged the flying stones, and the Song army was in chaos.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Huge stones flew down, and the city wall, which was not strong to begin with, was immediately riddled with holes.
"Woo woo woo!~" The Jin soldiers blew the horn to attack the city.
"Kill!..." The voice filled the mountains and echoed through the sky.
Zhang Xian could even see the ferocious faces of the Jin soldiers on horseback.
Zhang Xian, holding a spear in hand, shouted, "Kill!"
"Boom, boom, boom...!" The sound of war drums came from the Song army in Xianping Prefecture.
The two sides fought bloody battles, and corpses piled up like mountains under the city. Fortunately, the Xianping Prefecture brought nearly a thousand powerful crossbowmen, and it was these powerful crossbows that repeatedly repelled the Jin soldiers' attacks.
Wanyan Zonghan clenched his fists, he was very angry. He was angry because the Song army in Xianping Prefecture was obviously small in number, but why was it so difficult to defeat them?
…
Yue Fei brought hundreds of men to escort Zhao Huan along the way, making it impossible for him to escape. As long as he reached Guangning Prefecture, he would be safe. There were tens of thousands of Wu Ge's guards there, and the main force of Yue's army was about to arrive.
But this place is still several days' journey away from Guangning Prefecture, and the Jin soldiers may catch up at any time.
Zhao Huan was terrified. He felt as though every tree and grass was an enemy. He felt as though a group of Jin soldiers would burst out from the vast forests at any moment and surround him.
Yue Fei provided cover from behind while everyone else urged their horses to flee south.
"Hula! Hula~!"
“Gee! Gee!”
A group of cavalrymen chased up from the hillside on the left, and everyone's faces changed color.
"Protect His Majesty!" Yue Fei shouted, and more than 200 soldiers surrounded Zhao Huan. Yue Fei led hundreds of people to meet the Jin soldiers.
The Yue family spearmanship was so skillful that Yue Fei dared not engage. His spearmanship was so vicious and deadly that the Jin soldiers fell off their horses one after another at the spot where the Liquan spear struck.
The Song army behind them rode up on horseback and engaged in a melee with the Jin cavalry.
There were quite a lot of Jin soldiers coming, and forty or fifty of them broke away from the battle team and attacked Zhao Huan.
These are a group of desperate criminals. The temptation of a reward of ten thousand taels and a title of marquis is too great for them to take risks.
Zhao Huan panicked and the guards around him tried to stop him and protect him.
Li Sisi and Nangong Lian'er looked at each other, turned around, spurred their horses and rushed forward, and Li Sisi's female guards also followed.
Zhao Huan was startled: "Be careful!"
Li Sisi refused to listen and rushed into the enemy camp with Nangong Lian'er, holding a scimitar.
Zhao Huan was secretly ashamed that a seven-foot-tall man had to rely on these women for protection.
Don’t underestimate the female guards that Li Sisi brings with her. They are just as good as men in fighting.
Li Sisi rushed to the front of the formation, dodging a Jin soldier's spear thrust. With a light slash of the scimitar's tip, she severed the artery on the left side of the Jin soldier's neck.
Nangong Lian'er was not to be outdone. She leaped from her horse and used her short knife to hold down the Jin soldier's spear. She then slashed across the spear to the front of the Jin soldier, stabbing the short knife into the enemy's heart.
The Jin soldier fell off his horse, and Nangong Lian'er took advantage of the situation to ride on the enemy's horse and rushed into the enemy formation, killing crazily.
Wherever Yue Fei thrust his spear, none of the Jin soldiers could escape. Seeing his extraordinary bravery, the remaining Jin soldiers shouted and fled in all directions.
Yue Fei and others reined in their horses and returned. Zhao Huan was overjoyed at the victory.
Nangong Lian'er and Li Sisi were smiling like flowers.
"Your Majesty, aren't Sister Li and I awesome?" Nangong Lian'er said proudly.
Zhao Huan saw a few drops of blood on her snow-white face, which made her look even more charming. He gave her a thumbs up and said, "Amazing! You two are amazing."
Yue Fei said with a heavy face: "Your Majesty, we need to speed up our march. The Jin soldiers have already discovered your majesty's
traces."
Zhao Huan was shocked when he heard this and dared not joke with the two men anymore. He reorganized his troops and rushed south again.
…
The allied forces of Pujia Griffin and Xu Yundong caught up.
The enemy was eight times larger than his own. Liang Zifan knew that if he could not stop these Jin soldiers, His Majesty would be in danger of being captured alive.
Dangyangpo is surrounded by mountains on two sides. If we launch an attack from the hillside, we can definitely defeat the enemy.
