Siege warfare is about quickly ascending the city, and only by climbing to the top of the city can we achieve short-handed encounters and finally achieve the goal of decisive victory.

Yelu Zongkang is not a pure grassland cavalry general, he has been influenced by the Tang people for more than a day, and he is one of the few generals in Northern Liao who knows how to attack the city and how to quickly capture the city.

Therefore, those siege equipment that was scorned by the generals of the Liao army was not lacking in his army, and he even made a rushing car.

There were three of his troops in this eight-wheeled, five-story siege tower, and the lowest level was the soldiers who pushed the carts forward. The other four floors are filled with siege soldiers. The car is about four zhang high, two zhang wide, two zhang seven long, from top to bottom covered with thick wooden boards, the outside of the wooden board is also covered with two layers of raw cowhide, invulnerable, water and fire are invulnerable, it is one of the best siege weapons, but Yelu Zongkang is not ready to waste this kind of thing under the white mountain, that is for Gaoque City.

In addition to rushing the car. The Liao army also carried a large number of ladders and catapults.

More than 300 Liao people, under the cover of trebuchets, braved the rain of arrows to advance under the Great Wall of Earth, although the rain of arrows always took the lives of one or two people, but every step of the Liao army was very steady.

Wei Yan kicked a recruit in the ass, kicking him into a corner, and took two steps forward, a huge stone bullet whizzing past him.

Wei Yan spat hatefully and said, "It's really his grandmother's bad luck, how can this group of Northern Liao people still have trebuchets?" ”

The city wall was already in a mess, there were dead bodies everywhere, it looked very ugly, it was hit by a big stone, basically nothing good, and a few brothers whose arms and legs were taken away by stone bullets were crying was sad.

Wei Yan didn't bother to pay attention to this, but just watched worriedly as his earthen city wall was smashed piece by piece.

At this time, the Northern Liao people finally attacked, and Wei Yan roared angrily: "Gunpowder projectile projection. "One by one, the gunpowder bombs were thrown down, and the Northern Liao people were blown up everywhere.

Repelling the attack, the baggage officer came to Wei Yan's side and said, "General, our gunpowder bullets are no longer enough to use for two days, and now the Northern Liao people of Dog Day have also learned to be smart, and they are scattered, and the role of gunpowder bullets is becoming less and less." ”

Wei Yan waved his hand irritably and said, "Okay, I know, hold on for another day, and we'll withdraw after a day." ”

This last day is often the most difficult, the Great Wall of Earth built by Wei Yan completely collapsed, and Wei Yan also personally went into battle, which added a lot of wounds to his body.

In the evening, Wei Yan looked at the soldiers who had lost more than half of his life, and wanted to cry without tears, so he smashed his hateful fist on the earthen city wall and said angrily: "Brothers, withdraw." ”

The generals exhaled, and hurriedly gathered the seriously injured brothers and retreated into the woods, rode the war horses that had been prepared in the woods and ran away, but there were also a small number left, these are the seriously wounded who still have a breath left, they are lying in the tunnels that have been dug a long time ago, ready to surprise the Northern Liao people again.

Wang Daniu, a native of Longxi, has been a soldier for thirteen years, has been following the Wei family, and later became the Wei family's personal soldier.

But this time Wang Da Niu's luck is not good, Wang Da Niu has no consciousness below the waist, yesterday did not dodge the Liao people's stone bullet, the two legs were smashed into a meat patty can not be used, if the two legs are gone, Wang Da Niu is not desperate, but the stone bullet is too far away, Wang Da Niu is not going to live when his feces and urine fall on the bed, so there is no meaning in living, it stands to reason that at this time the eldest young master should give himself a knife to send his brother a ride, but the eldest young master told himself, There is also a job of igniting gunpowder that needs to be done, as long as it is done, the three military merits will be proper.

The eldest young master didn't say that this was a job that only a dead man could do, but Wang Da Niu didn't care, Wang Da Niu's wife and children were on the Wei family's Zhuangzi, and he went to the battlefield by himself, and it was originally life and death, and now he has lived for thirteen more years, and he can also earn three military merits, which is a good thing.

And since His Majesty reformed the new military law, his life is worth more, if he sacrificed before, the bereavement pension given by the court will always be money, and the money can only buy a donkey in Guanzhong, now it's okay, his family can get the court's subsidy every month, and the court will also give his own land, the boss is now fifteen years old, and he can farm to feed his mother and sister without himself, the most proud thing is that his tablet can enter the Lingyan Pavilion, and during the Qingming Dynasty, his eldest son does not have to go to the ancestral grave when he worships himself, It's good to go directly to Lingyan Pavilion, this is so face-saving.

There is only one point that Wang Da Niu is not very relieved, his eldest son fell in love with the daughter of the Liu family, the daughter of the Liu family is so thin, it is not easy to give birth to at first glance, but this stinky boy is iron-hearted, and he beat him several times when he left and did not let go.

Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, Wang Daniu shook his head and put these thoughts behind, when the time comes, it is time for him to ignite the fire.

Wang Da Niu rearranged his funeral goods, these were all given to him by his brothers when they left, he crawled and put these things together one by one, they are all good things, and those dog days are all good things!

After Wang Da Niu lit the fire, he took out a piece of sauce beef from his backpack, a pot of wine, and drank while eating.

It was the pungent smoke that made Wang Daniu cry and constantly choked.

Suddenly, the lid of the cellar was lifted, and four or five hideous Liao heads appeared on the top of his head, Wang Da Niu knew that he must be very embarrassed at this time, wiped his tears and snot vigorously, and roared at those Liao people: "Can't you fucking cover the lid of Lao Tzu's coffin?" ”

The Liao people's playful look was gone, replaced by a look of horror, they saw that the lead behind Wang Da Niu was sneering and burrowing into the dirt, fighting the Tang people for several days, they knew what this thing was.

The Liao people left in a panic, Wang Daniu sighed, lay down again, the earth began to tremble, a violent roar, the towering trees in the forest began to fall, and then a fire broke out, and none of the five thousand Northern Liao soldiers who entered the forest survived.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yelu Zongkang hatefully ordered: "Enter Gaoque City, and don't seal the sword for three days." ”

"No."

"Your Highness, please allow the last general to take the lead." Futu knelt on the ground and said that the 5,000 people who did not come out in the fire were Futu's own soldiers, so Yelu Zongkang agreed without hesitation.

At this time, Wei Yan was also running towards Gaoque City at a fast pace, crying while riding on the horse, and when he heard a loud noise behind him, Wei Yan burst into tears.

When he arrived at Gaoque City, Wei Yan immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Lou Chong: "The last general is incompetent. ”

Lou Zhong smiled and helped Wei Yan up and said: "Wen Chang, you have done a good job, with 10,000 people blocking the 100,000 army of Northern Liao for five days, this commander will ask His Majesty for credit." ”

Wei Yan shook his head and said: "Dashuai, the last general didn't say this, the last general abandoned the seriously injured robe, please punish the big marshal." ”

When Lou Chong heard this, he immediately asked, "What's the matter?" Hurry up. ”

Wei Yan told Lou Chong with a handful of snot and tears, there is nothing wrong with doing this kind of thing on the battlefield, but it violates the code of "don't abandon, don't give up" in the army, once this spirit is destroyed, it will cost ten times the price to redeem it.

Lou re-clapped his hands and said, "Come on, pull Wei Yan down and hit the thirty boards fiercely." ”

"Okay, hit hard." Wei Yan roared angrily.

After Lou Zhong watched the execution scene, he said to Yuan Xiaojie who came in a hurry: "If anyone says that Wei Yan is a rough and reckless man in the future, I will slap his big mouth with my hand!" ”

Yuan Xiaojie stretched his neck to look at Lang Tan's performance and said with a smile: "If this bastard can't be ranked as the third prince in the future, Lao Tzu will cut off his head." ”

Lou Da said with a smile: "Yes, yes, being able to fight is a necessary ability for middle-level generals, and if he can do drama, he has the qualifications to be a high-ranking official, if he can do drama and fight at the same time, the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War is simply tailor-made for him." ”
