Chapter 706 What's the matter
Chapter 707 What's the matter
The screams outside the city made Yin County, which had been silent for several days, suddenly start to roar again. The people leaned out of their homes and looked at the bright lights on the city wall outside.

They didn't know if the soldiers from Lanzhou Prefecture could help them guard the city gate. They wanted to get out from here, but there were only two city gates in Yin County, and both of them were destroyed by those who invaded. The incoming Tatar soldiers surrounded him.

They couldn't escape even if they wanted to, so they could only stay here and be troubled by nightmares all day and night, fearing that at any moment the city gate would be suddenly knocked open and the Tatar soldiers would break in, and their days would be over.

They all knew the consequences of becoming prisoners, and for this reason, many of them had already prepared the ropes for hanging from the beams. Instead of staying and being humiliated and suffered, it would be better to simply die.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the only lighted place in the dark night. The firelight swayed with the wind in their numb and anxious eyes, and the weak hope seemed to be extinguished as soon as it was blown away.

However, no matter how weak it is, it is still a glimmer of hope, isn't it?
As of now, five bed crossbows have been made, two of which have been adjusted according to Sheng Xi's requirements.As for those small crossbows, there were only a hundred of them at present. Sheng Xi did not let the craftsmen rest. Instead, he ordered them to stop making crossbow bodies and to do their best to make crossbow arrows. The more they made, the better.

The craftsmen know that this is what the soldiers use to protect their lives, so even if Sheng Xi doesn't give orders, they will do their best to complete the task.

The fire outside the city became more and more intense, and a rough estimate was that it was more than five thousand, or at least eight or nine thousand.

As expected, the Tatar general brought people from Qingzhou again. He was so impatient that he seemed to want to capture Yin County tonight.

And by the light of the fire, everyone on the tower could see the extremely heavy battering ram at a glance.They looked down at the city gate below them, and all of them were worried, fearing that the city gate would be knocked open after only three hits from the battering ram!
"Madam, they actually brought in a battering ram!" Wang Xiao couldn't help frowning after seeing the battering ram, his expression solemn as never before, "Are they planning to hit the city gate today!"

Others were as nervous as him, fearing that the battering ram would roll over and not only the city gate, but also the city wall would be broken.

And some people discovered with sharp eyes: "This battering ram belongs to Qingzhou!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked, and when they looked at each other, their eyes were not only full of hatred, but also an almost irrepressible unwillingness.

These shameless Tatar soldiers actually used the weapons of the Li people to attack the city of the Li people!
Sheng Xi glanced at it coldly and said calmly: "It's normal. It's such a convenient tool. If they don't use it, there's something wrong with their brains."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone was speechless for a moment and turned to look at Sheng Xi.

Sheng Xi suddenly chuckled and said, "But since it's our thing, we just don't let them use it."

"How can this be done?" Everyone was confused. For a moment, no one thought of how to prevent them from using it.That thing was in the hands of the Tatar soldiers. They wanted to rush over and snatch it back, but this was not realistic!
Sheng Xi said, "Isn't it enough not to let it hit the door?"

Everyone: "..."

This is indeed the truth, but... everyone looked at the swarming heads. Although they were prepared to die, they still had no idea in their hearts.Especially what Sheng Xi said to them last night, until now they feel that the possibility of it being realized is too small.

Sheng Xi looked away from the outside of the city, quickly glanced at everyone and said nothing, but walked straight to one of the bed crossbows.

When Wang Xiao and others saw this, they stopped talking and took their positions one after another. They knew that it was useless to talk more at this moment, so they could only prepare for the tough battle ahead.

The Tatar soldiers were not polite at all. After shouting only twice in broken Chinese, they pushed forward directly.

They not only had battering rams, but also other siege tools. For a time, the sound of killing was loud.

However, not many Tatar soldiers could get close to the city gate this time. The soldiers who were riding forward fell down in the blink of an eye, and the Tatar soldiers who were carrying ladders fell one after another before they could get close. , the battering ram was forced to stop 500 meters away from the city gate.

There was no other reason, it was just because a long arrow suddenly shot out from the city gate, hitting the horse, piercing the armor, and even the thick shield on the siege hammer was suddenly penetrated, responsible for pushing the siege hammer. More than half of the Tatar soldiers died in one fell swoop!
This accident was unexpected. By the time they reacted, the battering ram had been pulled back more than ten meters.

"What's going on!" The Tatar general who was sitting at the rear, holding a beautiful Orchid and drinking wine, stood up immediately after hearing this.Hu Ji was originally bringing a glass of wine to the Tatar general, but she didn't expect everything to happen so suddenly that the wine glass in her hand was caught off guard and spilled all over the general.

The Tatar general was annoyed and kicked the Orchid to the ground three times. At the same time, he said angrily: "Get out!"

Hu Ji didn't even dare to scream in pain. She just endured the broken ribs and struggled to crawl out.And the Tatar general finally stepped out of the tent in anger, got on his horse and rushed to the front.

When he stopped and saw the situation in front of him, his eyes suddenly widened: "What's going on?"

Someone ran over to him and said, "Go back to the general, those people have crossbows in their hands!"

"What?" The Tatar soldier general looked shocked and couldn't believe it. "How is it possible! If there were them, why didn't they use it before?"

But having said that, after the Tatar general experienced for himself the feeling of being almost shot by a crossbow arrow, he immediately shouted: "Back! Back! Back!"

Everyone stopped delaying and hurriedly retreated. There was even a look of survival on the faces of the survivors.

Soon, after some counting, the Tatar soldiers lost nearly 600 people!
"Damn! How dare these despicable fleas insult this general!" The Tatar general became furious after hearing the number of casualties.He wanted his soldiers to continue attacking the city, but the sudden appearance of the crossbow was so surprising. Even in Qingzhou and Lanzhou Prefecture, he could not find one. He did not expect that there would be one in this small Yin County!

Sure enough, the Li army is vulnerable. You can see from their military defenses. How can a poor county be compared with a state capital? This is simply picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons!
The Tatar general was very angry, very, very angry.He looked sinisterly at the dilapidated tower in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Since they are so ignorant of appreciation... Huh, come on, bring those prisoners up!"
