Chapter 54 - The Battle of the Monk 2
When he arrived in front of the Monk's original position, Jin Wushu found that the terrain here was even more dangerous!
In front of them was the smooth cliff face, and the Song Army was right on top of it! There was a road down the cliff, and only through the way down could they reach the Dazhang Pass! But since the Song Army was guarding it, they couldn't go through it!
"It seems like I can only defeat this monk first!" Jin Wushu observed for a while and thought.
However, it was difficult to defeat this monk! It was impossible for Jin Army to climb up the cliff, it was too smooth, and there was Song Army on top of it!
"Stone throwing machine, has the stone throwing machine arrived yet?" Jin Wushu turned and said.
"Fourth Prince, the terrain here is very steep, we can't get the catapults and catapults up here!" A deputy general said.
"Damn it!" Pass the order down, force your way through! There do not seem to be many Song Army s up there, let's attack and destroy this place! " Jin Wushu gritted his teeth.
Although the terrain here was extremely steep, the number of Song Army up there were far too few, so even though Jin Wushu was furious, he did not put this place in his heart! In his mind, this was just a small obstacle!
Above the Monk's original position, Wu Jie was watching the scene here with a sneer on his face. Looking at the female soldiers gathering below, he suddenly raised his right hand!
Immediately, he saw over a thousand Song Army lined up behind him, all of them holding gigantic crossbows in their hands! The shape of the crossbow was exquisite. Just by looking at its appearance, it gave off an exceptionally powerful feeling! This was none other than the famous brachial arch in the history of China!
The brachial arch could be said to be the emblem of a cold weapon's development to the extreme! Its penetrating power was extremely strong, far surpassing that of an ordinary crossbow! According to historical records, it could penetrate a target 300 steps away, and it still had some strength left! Even after the appearance of the hot weapon, the power of the spear in the beginning was far less than that of the brachial arch!
Of course, the brachial arch had the biggest flaw, and that was their complicated manufacturing process! After the Song Dynasty, the skills of the brachial arch were lost, and the Chinese never created another brachial arch! In the modern society, Chinese scientists tried to restore brachial arch but to no avail!
Beneath the Monk's original position, the Nvzhen had already begun gathering. With the sound of the horn, they rushed forward while howling! Nvzhen was skilled in riding and shooting, and they held bows and arrows in their hands! With a command, the arrows in their hands shot forward!
However, even if they were below, their arrows would not have much power if they were able to shoot them down!
"Shoot!" Right now up there, Wu Jie also decisively gave the order!
A thousand brachial arch were suddenly launched, and for a moment, the entire world was filled with the sound of "sou sou". This sound was extremely sharp, and the sounds of the Nvzhen's crossbows were actually being covered up!
Nvzhen's crossbows were also very powerful, but how could this crossbow compare to the most powerful weapon in the era of cold weapons, the brachial arch! Furthermore, the Song Army has the advantage of being in the terrain!
They only saw that Jin Army, who was in front of a traditional brachial arch, did not stop and moved forward. One of the Jin Army behind him was also pierced through, and it was only at this time that the brachial arch's power was finally used up! Almost all the brachial arch arrows were shot by two people, the power was extremely strong!
"What kind of crossbow is this?" Jin Wushu said in shock.
As he walked from Kai Feng to Qin Ling, his face revealed a look of shock for the first time!
"Could it be a brachial arch?" Wanyan Loushi's face also revealed a look of shock!
They had all heard of the brachial arch's famous name, but when they attacked the Kaifeng Mansion, they did not encounter any brachial arch! The reason was simple. The Imperial Guards were lax. The soldiers of the Imperial Guards were never trained! Because there had been no war for more than a hundred years, countless Expeditionary soldiers had even sold their weapons in their hands to exchange for money for wine! In the armory of the Imperial Guards, the brachial arch had long been sold to the Western Army or to the local garrison by the person in charge! In the end, the Forbidden Army had no fighting strength other than the empty space of hundreds of thousands of people! As for the brachial arch, it had long since disappeared within the Imperial Guards!
"Is the brachial arch so ferocious? "What should we do?" Wan Yanwushu said.
Very quickly, Wan Yanwushu and Wanyan Loushi's orders were passed down, the Nvzhen actually began to build small hills!
However, before their hill could be completed, a troop of soldiers suddenly charged over from the path below Monk Origin! This troop only had a few hundred people, and the one leading them was Wu Jie's brother, Wu Lin! They were also holding brachial arch in their hands, and under Wu Lin's lead, they started attacking the Nvzhen s who were building small hills!
The might of this brachial arch was truly too strong. In just a moment, a large portion of the Nvzhen s that were building this small mountain fell!
When Nvzhen finally reacted and wanted to give chase, Wu Lin had already brought his people back to the small alley! And when the Song Army above the main position launched an attack, the Nvzhen had no choice but to retreat!
Wu Lin and Wanyan Loushi were extremely furious. The two of them tried to build a small mountain multiple times, but they were always broken! And if the hill was built too far away, it would be impossible to attack the original owner's position!
As the sky darkened, Wan Yanwushu and Wanyan Loushi had no choice but to temporarily stop!
"We'll set up camp today and attack this place tomorrow!" Let my sons clear the road and bring me those catapults and catapulters! " Wan Yanwushu said angrily.
This was the first time he encountered such a setback as he headed east. The rage in his heart could be imagined!
Thus, the Nvzhen set up camp! Just like before, this time Jin Wushu was planning to set up the Connecting Orb! All his life he had been good at using the Connecting Jewel Camp, and now he was good at it even on the mountain!
The orb stronghold extended for more than ten kilometers, and Jin Wushu was in the tent right in front, the closest to the original monk's position!
Night fell. Nvzhen had rushed for an entire day, and most of them were currently exhausted. Many of the Nvzhen s had already fallen asleep!
Just at this time, on the small path under Monk Yuan's main position, Wu Lin and a few hundred warriors started to move.
As soon as they came out, the Nvzhen found them! Wan Yanwushu, Wanyan Loushi and the rest were cautious with their use of soldiers, on this kind of night, they would naturally send their soldiers to patrol!
Just that, the brachial arch s of the Song Army were strong, and in a moment, those female Genuine Soldiers were in a pool of blood!
Wu Lin led the soldiers and charged forward. When they reached the front of the tents, more and more Nvzhen noticed that Wu Lin had given the order to attack again!
Following the sounds of arrows piercing through the sky, another portion of Nvzhen fell! It was a pity that Wu Lin did not dare to stay here for long, and after a while, when the Nvzhen gathered again, he could only leave!
Wan Yanwushu, Wanyan Loushi were originally asleep, but now they were awakened. Watching Wu Lin and the others retreating, he became furious and said, "These damned barbarians of Han, only a few hundred people, actually dare to attack us! He was truly courting death! If not for the powerful brachial arch that they have in their hands, I would have killed them all today! "
Wanyan Loushi's heart was also filled with rage, and said: "Fourth Prince, before we can send the stone throwing chariots to bring the monks back, we need to endure it for the time being! Today we will let them be so arrogant. After taking down Monk Yuan, I will chop off their heads to pay tribute to my dead brothers! "
Wan Yanwushu nodded, the two of them continued to head back to sleep!
However, in merely an hour's time, Wu Lin once again brought those several hundred people to launch a sneak attack. Wan Yanwushu and Wanyan Loushi were once again woken up from their stupor, and the two of them naturally became furious for a while, before continuing to sleep!
During this night, Wu Lin actually continued his sneak attacks. Every time, there would be hundreds of them, and every time, there would be a certain number of casualties in the Nvzhen.
Although Wan Yanwushu and Wanyan Loushi were furious, they also gradually calmed down. They knew that the Song Army's strength was limited, and even a sneak attack wouldn't be able to cause too much damage! At the beginning, they even came out to take a look, but in the end, they didn't even bother to come out to check!
Time slowly passed and it was already the fourth fragment of the night. It was about two or three in the morning of the next generation!
Just at this moment, Wu Jie finally moved from his original position. This time, he brought over 3000 troops and horses down from the main position! Adding on Wu Lin's several hundred people, the number of Song Army s gathered here had already reached more than 4000. Other than the 1000 people led by Yang Congyi, who was in the Sacred Aperture position, all of Wu Jie's subordinates were gathered here!
He had waited for a long time, and now, this moment had finally arrived!
