Chapter 269: Golden Eagle Divine Arrows Kill Jiangyou Pass

Sima Qingyun sat on a rattan chair on the city gate tower, wearing a wide robe with large sleeves, a feather fan and a scarf, looking quite like Zhuge Kongming. He was too embarrassed to follow Mr. Zhuge and get a chair with wheels to sit on. After all, he was young and his legs were nimble, so he couldn't be too pretentious, right?

Looking at the somewhat wolf-like light-armored cavalry under the city, the number of which was less than 10,000, he praised in his heart: "Liu Chao is really a brave and courageous general! I, Sima, also have a keen eye for judging people."

Although the enemy troops under the city looked a bit wolf-like, under the command of the commander Li Mo, 3,000 people quickly dismounted and became infantry, forming a square formation, and more than 6,000 cavalry were also in neat formation.

Sima Qingyun shook his goose feather fan, squinted his eyes slightly, and raised the corners of his lips, "No matter how skilled and brave you are, the thousand divine arm bows at Jiangyou Pass will become a nightmare for more than 9,000 of you!"

There were many trees on the mountains along the way. When the army rested, Li Mo had ordered the craftsmen to use local materials to build some siege ladders and catapults. Therefore, he did not let the army camp and rest, but directly launched a siege.

There were only two thousand defenders on the north gate wall of Jiangyou Pass, with a row of archers in the front and a row of pikemen in the back.

Li Mo sneered contemptuously. It seemed that there were not many defenders of Jiangyou Pass, and the commander of the city was also a useless person. With a fierce attack by my elite soldiers, Jiangyou Pass would be taken.

Li Mo, who was eager to seize Jiangyou Pass, did not order the catapults to fight a round of millstone throwing battle with the rebels first. They came lightly and did not bring siege crossbow carts. Jiangyou Pass also had catapults and four powerful crossbow carts.

Therefore, Li Mo wisely abandoned the tactic of using catapults to attack from a distance first, and instead sent two thousand archers to provide cover, while two thousand infantrymen carried siege ladders and battering rams to attack directly!

The Song army archers were divided into two teams, responsible for firepower cover on both sides of the siege infantry formation.

Before the front team of archers ran into the range, feather arrows from Jiangyou Pass shot at them like locusts. The Song army archers screamed and fell to the ground one after another, and those behind them turned around and ran back in fear.

"The rebels actually have the Great Song Divine Arm Bow? And there are as many as a thousand pairs of Divine Arm Bows?!" Li Mo shouted in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

He had seen the power of the Divine Arm Bow, which had a range nearly twice as long as the ordinary iron arm bow used by the Great Song army, and its penetration was also twice as strong.

But wasn't this divine arm bow just developed by the craftsmen under the King of Qin, and the blueprints were presented to the Ministry of Works? The Song army hadn't equipped it yet, so how could these rebels have such a large number of divine arm bows?

A thousand archers on the city wall shot two rounds of arrows, and the two thousand Song archers and siege infantry under the city wall fled back in fear after leaving behind more than a thousand corpses.

Li Mo's rising ambitions were instantly extinguished, and his heart sank down like a huge stone tied to it. How can this battle be fought? !

Not to mention the catapults and crossbow carts on the city walls, even if the divine arm bows in the hands of the 1,000 archers could shoot down the Song army attacking the city round after round from a high position outside the range of the Song army archers, how many casualties would it take to get close to the city wall with the human wave tactics?

But if the Jiangyou Pass could not be breached, would the remaining 8,000 people be able to get out of the man-eating primeval forest even if they withdrew?

Thinking about it over and over again, it was a dead end, but Li Mo was determined to fight to the death.

He ordered to stop the siege and set up camp on the spot, and ordered the soldiers to cut down trees on the nearby hills and quickly make catapults and shields.

On the morning of the second day, Li Mo led the Song army to launch a fierce attack.

More than 20 catapults threw millstone-sized stones onto the top of the city wall. The stones that fell onto the city wall smashed the wall into pieces and pits. The stones that fell onto the top of the city smashed the rebels, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

Three thousand infantrymen carried siege ladders and moved quickly to the city wall under the cover of a row of huge shields in front.

The catapults and crossbow carts on the city wall fired at the same time. Several millstone-sized stones smashed into the Song army's siege infantry formation, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, and the huge shield in front also had a gap. The long arrows fired by the crossbow carts, as thick as a child's arm, plowed bloody trenches in the Song army's formation.

The commander has ordered that those who retreat will be killed! The supervisors holding steel knives were right behind them. The siege infantry gritted their teeth and dared not retreat. Under the captains' loud urging, they finally approached the city wall.

The defenders' catapults and crossbow carts also gave up the crazy smashing and shooting at the siege infantry, and adjusted the angle to exchange fire with the Song army's catapult positions.

Seeing that although the siege infantry suffered heavy losses, several siege ladders were finally placed on the city wall, Li Mo, who was standing on the command platform, clenched his fists!

The Song army, holding shields and steel knives, faced the rain of arrows pouring down on their heads, rolled wood and thunder stones, and ran to the bottom of the city wall with all their strength. After placing the siege ladders on the city wall, they climbed up one by one.

Li Mo's palms were sweating with nervousness, and he was cheering for the warriors who climbed to the battlements!

The soldiers who climbed up the city were stabbed down by long spears and steel forks, and the soldiers on the siege ladders climbed up again with roars.

Sima Qingyun, who was on the corner tower watching the enemy, waved his goose feather fan and smiled cunningly, "Li Mo, I still have 8,000 well-rested defenders under the city, waiting for you to lose and fight to the death!"

This fierce siege ended in the end because the Song army suffered heavy losses and had no strength to follow up, so Li Mo had to painfully order the troops to withdraw.

Three thousand infantrymen attacked the city, but less than a thousand ran back alive.

The siege failed, and another two thousand people were lost, but Li Mo also saw hope. Although the rebels on the wall did not suffer much loss, they were exhausted.

: "Hao Liang, you take 3,000 soldiers to sit and watch the battle, I will lead 3,000 soldiers to attack the city!"

: "No!" Deputy General Hao Liang was shocked, "General, the siege is too dangerous, you as the commander should sit and watch the battle, I will lead the troops to attack the city!"

"Dangerous?" Li Mo smiled bitterly, then said firmly: "Our army is fighting a desperate battle. If we fail to capture Jiangyou Pass, the whole army will be annihilated. I have decided to go all out and lead the troops to attack the city!"

Deputy General Hao Liang felt sad and had to accept the order.

Li Mo assembled 3,000 soldiers, put 48 golden arrows on his back, and launched another desperate attack.

Li Mo rushed to the front, shooting the golden eagle arrow at a rebel commander on the top of the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall never thought that they would be attacked by the enemy's arrows at such a long distance. When the golden arrow came with a murderous aura that destroyed the world, the commander who was commanding the soldiers to fight had no time to react and was pierced through the heart by the arrow...

The commander was thrown back by a great force, and the golden arrow pierced through the body of a personal soldier behind him before it was nailed into the back wall. The golden tail of the arrow was still trembling, unwilling to give up!

"Golden Eagle Archer Li Mo is personally leading the troops to attack the city!" Sima Qingyun shouted in surprise, threw away the goose feather fan in his hand, took off his scarf and threw it on the ground, and ran out a long way, grabbed the ordinary soldier's helmet that had been prepared long ago, and put it on his head.

Two personal soldiers hurriedly helped him put on the ordinary soldier's armor. Sima Qingyun patted his breastplate. He was a man who cherished his life and had been prepared in a thief-like manner. If Golden Eagle Archer Li Mo personally attacked the city, his pretentious outfit would be too conspicuous, and he couldn't become the innocent soul shot by Golden Eagle Archer Li Mo.

"Order all the magic arm bows to aim at Li Mo and shoot! This division wants the golden eagle arrow to die under this magic arm bow." Sima Qingyun's voice was not terrified, but excited and excited!

After shooting the general in charge of command, Li Mo shot the golden arrow at the leader of the garrison on the top of the city. The arrows were fired quickly, taking away the lives of the young garrison generals one after another.

The garrison on the city wall did not panic or make a fuss. Mr. Sima had already analyzed and prepared for this terrifying situation in advance.

Without waiting for orders, the archers had already aimed their magic arm bows at Li Mo who was gradually approaching the shooting range.

Li Mo, the archery god of the Song Dynasty, sensed the murderous aura of the mighty force, but he had no choice but to shoot the leaders and rush into the range of the divine arm bow.

The shouts of killing were deafening below the city, but there was a strange silence on the top of the city. The stones thrown by the enemy's catapults took away more than a dozen lives, but it seemed that they could not break the solemnity and silence here.

A crisp sound of bronze bells broke the solemn silence like a woodcut, and thousands of arrows were fired at the same time... aiming at the same target.

Thirty-six of the forty-eight golden arrows in the quiver behind Li Mo had been shot out in a very short time, taking away at least fifty or sixty lives of the defenders on the city wall.

The rain of arrows that covered the sky and the ground formed a big net. When it was covered, Li Mo felt a chill in his heart! He quickly shot out three more golden arrows. The shields in the hands of the personal soldiers beside him protected him. Under the powerful penetrating power of the divine arm bow, the dense rain of arrows made those personal soldiers who raised their shields to protect the commander fall one by one...

Li Mo was heartbroken. He took advantage of the gap when the enemy's arrow rain was shot out and pulled out the golden arrows behind him. He heard the sound of the bowstring and raised his head suddenly!

Another wave of arrows covered his head!

The rebels on the city wall were too insidious and cunning! The thousand divine arm bows were actually divided into two waves.

Li Mo cursed in his heart, and after the golden arrow in his hand shot out, he swung the golden bow and hit the arrow with all his strength.

At this moment, all the soldiers around Li Mo had fallen to the ground. Only he stood upright among the corpses and dense arrows. The golden bow in his hand danced hard into a golden light circle to block the rain of arrows.

An arrow shot into Li Mo's left leg. He staggered and stood up straight again. Another arrow shot into his left leg, and another arrow shot into his right leg, left arm, lower abdomen, chest, right arm... Black arrows shot into Li Mo's body. His stubborn and upright body was like a hedgehog, and finally fell backwards slowly! ...

"It's done!..." Sima Qingyun, who was watching the battle from a distance, shouted out of control, and then ordered, "Order the soldiers to shout in unison to the people below the city, Golden Eagle Divine Arrow Li Mo is dead, and you will not be killed

if you surrender !"

"Golden Eagle Divine Arrow Li Mo is dead, and you will not be killed if you surrender!..." "Golden Eagle Divine Arrow Li Mo is dead, and you will not be killed if you surrender!..."

"Golden Eagle Divine Arrow Li Mo is dead, and you will not be killed if you surrender!..."

The deafening shouts for surrender became louder and louder, and the soldiers who were preparing for battle below the city also climbed up to the top of the city one after another, densely packed and stacked on the city wall, shouting and shaking the earth! ...
