"Dong, dong, dong..." The multi-faceted war drums were ringing one after another, slowly and rhythmically, and the sound was resounding through the sky. Even the defenders far away on the city walls were clearly heard. Whenever the war drums were ringing, the Yuan army soldiers took a step forward, and their movements were neat.

The Yuan army on the other three sides also beat the war drums at this time, and the sound of the war drums spread throughout every corner of the Pingyuan City.

The sound of war drums became more and more rapid, and the pace of Yuan's soldiers was getting faster and faster. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. The sword, shield soldiers and cloud ladders in the front had entered the range of the guards' bows and arrows. The defenders picked up bows and arrows and stood on standby, and shot arrows at any time with a command.

Yuan Jun's catapult car began to show his power, and more than thirty big stones roared! Some defenders who were holding bows and arrows hurriedly hid behind the female wall. The big stones arrived in a blink of an eye. Some hit the wall, some hit the wall, and some flew over the city wall and smashed the houses in the city. There were not many casualties. However, many people were frightened and their faces turned pale.

"Dongdongdongdongdong..." The sound of war drums was almost losing their original rhythm. Yuan Jun shouted and rushed towards the city wall. The scene was very spectacular!

There are more or less crossbows in the county town. When Yuan’s army was about 150 meters away from the city wall, sixty crossbows on the city wall began to show their power! Sixty bows and arrows comparable to spears flew towards Yuan’s army. After a brief flight, they plunged into the Yuan army’s formation. Some could not shoot people and nailed them to the ground, while others shot through the bodies or limbs of Yuan’s soldiers, nailing them to the ground together!

Only nearly a hundred people died, but for Yuan Jun, who had a population of 100,000, was not a drop in a bucket.

With Yuan's tide-like charge, it was only one hundred meters away from the city wall, which was the best range of bows and arrows. For a moment, tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the city wall, and the first black rain of arrows flew towards the Yuan army soldiers! Before the rain of arrows landed, the soldiers guarding the city took out new bows and arrows from the quiver pots and continued to shoot arrows at the Yuan army.

Yuan Jun's sword and shield soldiers blocked the shield at forty-five degrees, blocking most bows and arrows. A few unlucky soldiers were shot on their legs or sides by bows and arrows, and fell down screaming. If the fallen one was not dead, they would be shot and killed by the bows and arrows soon.

The catapult cart showed its might again, and more than thirty huge rocks flew towards the city wall like a meteor shower! More than a dozen guards were not careful when taking the bows and arrows, and they were smashed into pieces like watermelons that were thrown to the ground. It was terrible! One of the crossbows was also hit by the huge rocks, and the crossbows and the defenders who were operating were crushed together!

After a long period of hard work, the crossbow was finally filled, and fifty-nine giant arrows pierced into Yuan’s army. A few of them could not shoot, and all the shots were nailed to the ground, even the shields of the sword and shield soldiers were shot through!

Yuan's army rushed to the moat under the city wall like a tide, and the ladder leaned against the city wall. The soldiers climbed upward like ants in an ant nest. Many Yuan's soldiers carried hook ropes and took out the iron hooks and swung them a few times to increase inertia, and then threw them hard towards the high wall! Some hooked the female wall and started climbing, while others hooked the defenders, pulled them off and did it again.

The Yuan army archers were already in place and did not have to wait for orders to shoot arrows to the defenders on the city walls, trying to provide firepower support to friendly forces. However, the effect was not very good. Either the shooting was too low and blocked by the wall or the battle block; or the shooting was too high and I didn't know where to fly.

Seeing that the enemy began to climb the city wall, the defenders immediately responded, either lifting stones or carrying huge trees to smash them down, or pouring them down along the city wall with boiling grease!

Each stone weighs about 100 kilograms, and it is full of weight. It is not too much to say that it is injured when touched, and it is not too much to die when it is next to each other. The giant wood is more than 30 cm in diameter, and weighs about 200 kilograms. No matter how many soldiers (usually six or seven people) are climbing on the ladder, the giant wood rolls down the ladder, and the entire ladder is clean. The oil as high as nearly 200 degrees Celsius is the most disgusting. All those who are splashed scream and fall down, rolling all over the ground. Life is worse than death!

Yuan Jun's two 20-meter-high Xuan Che Shanshan arrived late and slowly approached the plain city wall. These two Xuan Ches were like four-wheeled cars supporting a high platform. There were simple fences on the platform, and there were shields of swords and shields in front and on both sides, and some archers were protected by archers in the middle.

The archers on the Xuan car were descending from a high place to shoot arrows at the defenders on the city wall. For a moment, many soldiers of the defenders were shot and killed. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Chengbin ordered all the crossbows to aim at the Xuan car. Just then, the crossbows had been filled at this time.

"Send and send..." More than fifty powerful bows and arrows flew towards the Xuanche platform one after another. Almost half of them shot missed and didn't know where to fly. The other half hit their own targets and shot many Yuan soldiers. The Xuanche platform, which is comparable to a bunker, suddenly became silent.

At this time, several places on both sides of the city wall were killed by Yuan's army. Xie Chengbin and Guan Hai each led their confidants to rescue them everywhere, and it took a lot of effort to kill Yuan's army.

This is temporarily safe. Yuan Jun came up not far away. Xie Chengbin began to run around, and sometimes even failed to settle one wave after another. He killed one batch after another, and felt like he could not kill it.

Fortunately, misfortune never comes alone. At this moment, a messenger rode a horse and ran towards Xie Chengbin. It happened that Xie Chengbin killed Yuan Jun, and the blood had stained Xie Chengbin into a bloody man. "Report to the lord, Chunyu Qiong, under General Yu, led his troops to rebel, and the north gate was shaking and in danger!"

"What!" Xie Chengbin, who was a little tired, was shocked when he heard this, wondering if he had heard it wrong. Chunyu Qiong and Xie Chengbin knew that they were incorporated when they defeated Yuan Jun a few days ago. He thought that those who were willing to stay would be fine, but he didn't expect that there would be someone else to rebel! It seems that this person was probably staying deliberately as an undercover agent! Xie Chengbin didn't have time to think too much, so he put down and took out a token from his arms and handed it to the commander. "Immediately go to the schoolyard to pass on our military orders, and let General Zhang lead the iron cavalry to the North Gate to quell the rebellion!"

"Here!" The messenger clasped his fists to Xie Chengbin and took the token. He turned over and rode his horse and left.

Xie Chengbin asked a confidant to go to the county government to call Guo Jia over, and at the same time silently prayed that it would be fine if the north gate was fine. If he really couldn't hold on, he would take Guo Jia to escape.

The sound of war drums and shouts resounded throughout the sky, and the entire sky was covered with dust and black smoke. The originally bright sunshine now looked red. The originally clear sky has become smoky and smoky, which looks a little dark, and has greatly reduced visibility.

The Yuan army attacked from the morning until the evening before the Jin Dynasty retreated. Although the Yuan army attacked the city wall many times during this period, they still failed to take down Pingyuan City.

Chunyu Qiong led a hundred confidants to rebel and was defeated by the iron cavalry when he tried to open the north gate. Zhang Fei cut off Chunyu Qiong's nose in anger, and all the other dozen surrendered soldiers were chopped off. Xie Chengbin felt that Chunyu Qiong was very backbone and did not want to kill him, but Guo Jia said that when Chunyu Qiong looked in the mirror in the future, he would think of today, so Xie Chengbin killed him.

The Yuan army suffered nearly 40,000 casualties (slight injuries are not counted), and the losses were only one-tenth, which can be said to be neither painful nor itchy. The defenders suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and one-third of their troops were lost, which was considered a heavy bleeding.

In the Pingyuan School, more than 5,000 injured soldiers were in pain. Seeing the injured soldiers everywhere, Xie Chengbin's scalp was numb. Even if Xie Chengbin's blood was dry, it was not enough to save so many people. He believed that it was too unrealistic to build a biochemical army by just using infection, and scientific and technological means should be used to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Today, Xie Chengbin saw the crossbow for the first time. He thought that the crossbow was very powerful, but its accuracy was too low and it was too difficult to fill (very slow). If there was any way to improve it, it would definitely be a must-have tool for home travel and killing people and robbing! But after thinking about it, I still couldn't think of any good idea after spending a lot of brain cells, so I could only ask Cody for help quietly. "Cody, I want to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Do you have any way to make those crossbows easier to fill? Or change to continuous launch?"

"Great lord! Are you making a difficult job? The reason why this kind of crossbow is powerful and slow to fill is because it uses multiple bows in combination. If you want to fill faster, then you can just reduce the number of bows on the crossbow. But in that case, the power of the crossbow is greatly reduced, which is better than using a single person's bow and arrow. Even if you have power and have to fire continuously, at least you must have an engine, otherwise it will be difficult for a skilled woman to cook without rice." Cody's resentful voice came from the watch, which sounded like she was a little wronged.

"So..." Xie Chengbin was a little helpless, even Cody was helpless. It seemed that there was no way. "There is any other way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army?"

"This is not difficult. Just improve the military equipment. If every soldier is equipped with armor and helmets like your general, then you can dominate. In this era, iron ore refining technology is not behind, but the iron ore exploration technology is relatively limited. For example, there are rich minerals in Licheng, and no one knows it." Cody's tone was extremely light and seemed to be very relaxed.

"Ah! You didn't tell me such an important thing earlier?!" Xie Chengbin was angry and wanted to find a hammer to smash Cody into pieces! If he had known it earlier, how could so many people die in his army?!

"Uh... you didn't ask earlier." Seeing Xie Chengbin going to go wild, Cody realized that the joke was too big and she was a little confident.
