Chapter 131 Zhao Shun arrives, please ask the Lord to make the decision for the little king
Tianyun City.
Ye Feng led the army, transported the Nine-Star Crossbow, and went straight to the outside of the city wall.
Zhang Tai led several deputy generals and waited there early.
"What is that, Lord Zhen Guojun?"
When Zhu Kun saw the three-meter-high shelf being transported behind Ye Feng, his face was full of surprise and he asked with some confusion.
Zhang Tai naturally discovered the Nine-Star Crossbow as well, frowned, and said, "I haven't seen it either."
"General Zhang Tai respectfully welcomes the King of Zhenguo."
As Ye Feng came to the outside of the city wall, Zhang Tai bowed and knelt down in front of Ye Feng.
Compared to Lin Xiaoxiang who exterminated his entire clan without asking for the reason, Ye Feng treated him as a surrendered general, gave him full authority to guard such an important border city as Tianyun City, and trusted him completely. He was grateful to Ye Feng in his heart.
"No need to be polite."
Ye Feng had a calm expression as he rode his warhorse towards Tianyun City.
Hua Hua Hua...
Many people in Tianyun City have been very interested in this guardian of the Song Dynasty since Tianyun City was captured by Zhangtai.
Seeing Ye Feng riding a warhorse and wearing meteor boots, many people were secretly shocked. They never expected that he was so young.
Cao Er was mixed in with the crowd, his eyes flickering. When he saw Ye Feng, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. This was his hope for revenge.
"what is that?"
His gaze rested on the Nine-Star Crossbow behind Ye Feng. It was three meters high, but it didn’t look like a siege vehicle. Its design looked very complicated.
……
"General Zhang, these are called Nine Star Crossbows. They can be deployed on the city walls to resist the charge of Sima Cuo's army."
As Ye Feng led many soldiers to transport the Nine-Star Crossbow into Tianyun City, he looked at Zhang Tai beside him and pointed at the Nine-Star Crossbow transported by the soldiers.
"Nine Star Crossbow, how do you use it?"
Zhang Tai was a little surprised. He had never heard of this kind of weapon. It sounded like a long-range crossbow. But even the most powerful crossbow of the Wei Dynasty was not this big.
"Old Zhang, when we reach the other side of the city wall of Tianyun City later, I would also like to see it for myself." Yu Shouren was also very curious about the power of the Nine-Star Crossbow. He studied and watched it from time to time along the way, but could not see any clues.
The mighty army passed through Tianyun City.
Many people were also shocked.
"It seems that General Sima Cuo is leading an army of 100,000. Even Ye Feng dare not be careless. He must prepare to command the army personally."
"But with just this small army, I'm afraid he can't defend Tianyun City. General Sima Cuo is a good warrior and has earned his reputation for a long time."
"You know what, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty treated the people quite well. At least they didn't kill innocent people after entering the city. I don't want to go back to the Great Jin Dynasty now."
……
Tianyun City has towering city walls and a thick iron gate with four iron rods as thick as arms inserted horizontally, firmly inserted into the city walls on both sides.
Ever since Zhangtai received the news that Sima Cuo was leading an army of 100,000 to attack, he ordered his soldiers to reinforce the gates of Tianyun City.
"Transport all these Nine-Star Crossbows to the city wall and place them at intervals of three meters." Ye Feng conveyed the order to many soldiers.
The height of the Nine-Star Crossbow alone is three meters, plus the weight of the nine grooves, the entire structure of the Nine-Star Crossbow weighs nearly a thousand kilograms.
Dozens of soldiers carried the Nine-Star Crossbow, and their movements became increasingly difficult as they slowly climbed up the city wall, step by step.
"what!"
When Dashan walked to the side of the Nine-Star Crossbow, he saw him shouting loudly, grabbing the load-bearing column of the Nine-Star Crossbow with both hands, and lifting the Nine-Star Crossbow up.
Hua Hua Hua...
The surrounding soldiers cheered when they saw this scene.
Many of them have seen the power of the mountains.
But I didn't expect that the other party was so strong that he could lift a thousand pounds with just his bare hands. It was really shocking.
It took a whole afternoon to transport all 300 Nine-Star Crossbows to the top of the city wall and secure them firmly. Twenty soldiers were stationed at each Nine-Star Crossbow. Two soldiers were responsible for delivering arrows, and eighteen soldiers were responsible for pulling the strings of the Nine-Star Crossbow and shooting the arrows.
"Don't you want to see the power of the Nine-Star Crossbow?"
In the evening, as the sun was setting, Ye Feng stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back. He nodded to the twenty soldiers not far away. Then he saw that beside the Nine Star Crossbow, twenty soldiers coordinated at the same time. With the sound of breaking through the air, nine arrows about one and a half meters long flew through the air at an extremely fast speed.
call out!call out!call out!
Zhang Tai and Yu Shouren opened their eyes wide, staring at the shot arrows, their faces filled with horror.
The range of the Nine-Star Crossbow is almost one thousand meters.
As both of them are junior grandmasters, their lives would be in danger even if they faced the Nine-Star Crossbow head-on.
"Go and pick up the arrow."
Zhangtai immediately ordered the soldiers to jump off the city wall using ropes and pick up the nine arrows that had been shot, so as to avoid being discovered by the army led by Sima Cuo.
There was excitement on his face. Such powerful bows and crossbows were hidden here, as long as Sima Cuo dared to lead the army to charge.
Three hundred nine-star crossbows, that is, 2,700 arrows shot out at the same time. Adding the rest of the city defense weapons such as rolling stones, it must be enough to give Sima Cuo a hard time.
"General Zhang, Chang Sunji will continue to rush to make the subsequent Nine-Star Crossbows and will send them to you one after another. I will also give you another 20,000 soldiers." Ye Feng's face also became serious. He knew that Tianyun City must not be lost. He said, "I don't want you to destroy Sima Cuo's 100,000 troops. What I want is that you can defend Tianyun City. As long as you can defend Tianyun City, Chang Sunji will provide you with a steady supply of food and resources for the army."
"I only have one request, which is to delay Sima Cuo's 100,000 troops as long as possible. They cannot attack the city, but have to attack it. We must defend Tianyun City as long as possible."
Ye Feng knew Zhang Tai's ability very well. He was not very good at siege battles. But if it was a battle to defend a city, a veteran like Zhang Tai would definitely be able to handle it with ease.
When Zhang Tai saw Ye Feng's expression, he knew very well in his heart that if Tianyun City was lost, Sima Cuo's 100,000 troops could march straight in and attack the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun, which would mean that all the efforts made before would be in vain.
He summoned his three lieutenants, and the four of them knelt in front of Ye Feng, with a firm face, and said: "As long as Tianyun City survives, the four of us will survive. If Tianyun City perishes, the four of us will die!"
Ye Feng naturally trusted Zhang Tai's ability, otherwise he would not have handed over Tianyun City to him to guard. He also took Zhang Tai with him to inspect the entire Tianyun City and eliminated all possible factors that could lead to failure.
……
Yancheng, City Lord’s Mansion.
"Master Changsun, there is a man outside the City Lord's Mansion who claims to be Zhao Shun, the son of King Ye, and wants to ask the Lord of the State to make a decision for him."
Chang Sun Ji was still handling the affairs of the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun when he heard the guards outside coming to report the news.
After hearing the message from the guard, he knew without a second's hesitation why Zhao Shun came to Yancheng so late at night, and a smile appeared on his face.
