Chapter 2311: Holding Lingzhu Chang Fen Pen, Strong City Lonely, Iron Crossbow Steel Arm

At this time, Monk Wanyan Chen did not expect that there was not much time left for him.

After a brief breath in Nanjing, the next battle followed one after another! Just after Altan led his troops to retreat across the Yellow River, he soon received the news that the Mongolian army had arrived.

At this time, Altan felt even more uncomfortable because as a new general in the Mongolian army, he was the leader of the younger generation and was very arrogant in his daily life.

Unexpectedly, when the army arrived this time, his vanguard army did nothing and suffered losses, which made Altan feel lost.

The name of this general from Mongolia is "Zashier.\nTesun". He is Mu Huali's younger brother and is also a famous general in the Mongolian army in history.

This time he led an army of 150,000 to come in full force, aiming to completely resolve the Jin Dynasty at one time, and then rushed directly into the territory of the Song Dynasty and destroyed the Song Dynasty.

Among his 150,000 troops, 70,000 were Mongolian cavalry, and the others were 80,000 Seme soldiers and servants of various ethnic groups.

The Mongolians carried a large number of horses according to their usual practice of marching and fighting.

So when these more than 100,000 troops were launched, they were really covered in the sky and the earth.

General Zalar soon met with Altan. After that, Altan explained in detail to the head coach Zalar, his experience in attacking Nanjing City.

Afterwards, Altan asked the commander to lead his 20,000 Mongolian cavalry to pursue the Shandong army.

Before this, after Yang Miaozhen's troops handed over the supplies to Monk Wanyan Chen, they immediately retreated to the east without hesitation.

And Yang Miaozhen's whereabouts were naturally targeted by Altan's Mongolian scouts.

When Altan told the head coach about this, he said that the 40,000 troops that emerged from the flank were well-equipped and well-trained, and could be called a strong army.

Moreover, he didn't know the origin of this army yet, but since they were against the Mongolian army, it was the safest way to catch up and catch them all in one go.

Otherwise, their Mongolian army would always be wary of this enemy army of unknown origin when they marched and fought, and it would not be a problem to be worried about this.

Zalar immediately agreed to Altan's request, and then Altan threw the remaining thousands of defeated soldiers from the Khala Khitan directly to the central army, and then he set out with 20,000 troops.

...In fact, the total number of the Mongolian army in this southern expedition was 150,000.

Of course, this also includes the troops of the vanguard Altan.

So now after Altan split a partial division, counting the casualties in the early stage, the number of Mongolian troops is more than 120,000.

Compared with the Jin Dynasty's frequent deployment of hundreds of thousands of troops, this number does not seem to be large.

But in fact, the Mongolian army was a strong army with a team of one or two 10,000 people to defeat the opponent's superior forces more than ten times the superior force! When Zhebe led his army to attack the Qincha Khanate, he actually led two 10,000 teams and swept the 470,000 coalition forces of the Qincha Khanate.

It can be seen from this that this Mongolian army is actually an extremely terrifying existence in terms of combat effectiveness.

So after Zalar left Altan, he immediately led his army to cross the Yellow River.

Then a fierce offensive and defensive battle in Nanjing broke out again.

This time, Zalar still used his servant, the Semu Legion, to continue using ranged attacks according to Altan's previous methods.

They built a large number of giant trenchers, shot huge rocks at the top of the city, and attacked the Nanjing city walls.

Although the number of enemy troops increased several times at this time, Nanjing City was no longer the same as before.

The first thing is that Monk Wanyan Chen got a large number of scattering machines left by the Mongolian army inside and outside the city.

Some catapults played a powerful role in offensive and defensive battles. When shooting against the Mongolian army, Monk Wanyan Chen's catapult troops were not at all inferior.

At the same time, once the Mongolian army soldiers approached the city.

Within two or three hundred meters, they will be attacked by steel-arm crossbow arrows with their heads and faces.

When the steel-arm crossbow arrows of Monk Wanyan Chen flew over the enemy like locusts from the city, he couldn't help but feel excited.

It was not until he really mastered this magical weapon that he realized that this steel-arm crossbow had actually completely changed the way of fighting in this era.

Because since the invention of the bow and arrow, horn bows have been made of animal horns, tendons, lacquer, silk, bamboo and wood.

In the long history, after the production of bows reached a certain level around the Han Dynasty, the range of the horn bow was almost difficult to be greatly surpassed.

So from beginning to end, if all troops in all eras want to improve their ranged weapons.

It is all about training soldiers' arm strength to use horn bows with greater pulling force, or making the warrior's shooting skills more accurate.

Among them, new long-range weapons have occasionally been invented, such as large bed crossbows that are not easy to move and marching, and can only be used to defend positions and cities.

There is also a Zhuge crossbow with a small appearance and mechanical speed up the rate of fire... By the way, the crossbow is a weapon smaller than an ordinary crossbow arrow and is used to shoot rapidly in a short distance by individual soldiers.

I don’t know why people always say that the soldiers can’t handle it. I guess they were poisoned by some game, which made Lao Long laugh when he saw it.

However, when the steel-arm crossbow appeared, its shooting distance increased from thirty feet of the corner bow to 150 feet! The appearance of the steel-arm crossbow brought the combat mode into an extremely unfair state.

It's like two kids fighting, you can hit me with a slingshot, but I can only spit you with saliva... As a result, this weapon has completely changed the form of war.

And what is even more rare is that Monk Wanyan Chen also found that this steel arm crossbow is extremely easy to operate and maintain.

Whether in rainy and snowy weather, mud and water, or in the hands of illiterate soldiers, it can all have amazing effects! When thousands of Jin soldiers stood at the top of the city and fired a salvo at the Mongolian army under the city with steel arm crossbows.

The enemy troops under the city were immediately forced to disperse their formation, and even gradually gave up their attempt to approach the city.

At this time, Monk Wanyan Chen felt so happy! Of course, he quickly took apart one of the steel-arm crossbows and let his craftsmen see if they could imitate it.

However, the news received by Monk Wanyan Chen made him extremely depressed.

According to the blacksmith, although this thing seems very simple, it is absolutely impossible to imitate it.
