Yelu Zongxin very much did not want his 50,000 men to attack the city, not because he loved his soldiers like a son, but because he did not want to waste these cannon fodder on such a meaningless attack.

His 50,000 men were made up of Bohai, Jurchen, and Han prisoners, and if they survived the war, they would be rewarded with the elimination of slaves and prisoners, and henceforth they would live as individuals, and for their own freedom, they would become warriors who were not afraid of death.

Now let these people who are not afraid of death send them to death, so what's the point of asking them? Is it just to test the city defense of the Song people? Or consume the harvest apparatus of the Song people? That's a big deal.

But the emperor's order has been issued, no matter what, it can't be turned a blind eye, fortunately, 50,000 people with thousands of people as echelons to attack Xijin Mansion in waves, even if there are more Song people's troops, it is impossible to place all the troops on the city wall, in fact, it is just a battle between more than 10,000 people.

What he Yelu Zongxin wants to do now is to send the news that the Great Song Emperor is still alive to the big tent of the Chinese army, and let Zhang Jian, that old fool, see that the Great Song Emperor is not dead at all, maybe this is still a good show performed by others!

The war has begun, as the commander of the former army, Yelu Zongxin must not leave the front army, and can only let his heralds truthfully transmit the news that Tanma saw back to the Chinese army...... It's going to be exciting!

Siege warfare and plain warfare are completely different, the pressure on the besieging side is more than several times that of the defending city, this pressure is not only physical, but also part of the spirit, when the Liao army of more than 1,000 people arrived not far from the city of Xijin Prefecture, they can feel the pressure brought to them by this city, the towering city even obscures the sun, and sits in front of people like a mountain in front of them unconsciously a kind of powerlessness and insignificance rise in their hearts.

This feeling had overwhelmed them, but soon they knew what it meant to have nowhere to hide, and the crossbow arrows that flew out of the city wall were like overwhelming raindrops, not to mention the number of them, and the strength was also very large, and they didn't know how many crossbow arrows were wound, and the sound of the crossbow arrows breaking through the air and the humming sound of the crossbow strings when they were fired could even be heard clearly by Yelu Zongxin, who was far away from the range of the crossbow arrows!

Buzz, buzz, buzz...... Yelu Zongxin's face turned pale, and the rain of arrows of the Great Song Dynasty defenders seemed to never stop, and the black feather arrows continued to slope down from the city wall, like black clouds and black waterfalls pouring down.

Yelu Zongxin's former army naturally also has crossbow arrows, but their pitiful range can not touch the city wall of Xijin Mansion at all, and after reaching the range, there are only a few hundred people left of more than 1,000 crossbow archers, and the number of people is still decreasing at any time, even if they can shoot crossbow arrows, most of them are shot on the pheasant, which is a low wall with a hole in it, which is specially used to resist crossbow arrows.

Zhao Zhen on the city wall looked at the slaughtered Liao people and felt a little bored, the overwhelming advantage of the city defense battle has appeared, these Liao people's cannon fodder is completely to send them to death, and the crossbow archers who form three rows of back and forth replacement can already easily deal with these Liao people, for the Great Song Forbidden Army that uses ratchet crossbows, there is no need for a three-row lineup at all, and the reason why it is still used like this is actually to save time and save the physical strength of the crossbow archers.

Under the city wall are the Liao people who are rushing to Xijin Mansion for their lives, while the forbidden army of the city wall is rotating, which has to be said to be a huge irony.

Peng Qi looked at the Liao people who kept charging and dying, and said a little strangely: "Why do these Liao people charge the city wall even when they know that they are dead?" Can't you use the equipment? Rushing cars and stuff like that......"

"This is the Liao people testing the strength of my Great Song city defense, and the Liao people's siege equipment is not bad, rushing cars, hitting poles, plugging knife cars, crashing cars, and even Lu Gong cars, but these people must test the fierceness of my Great Song City defense, and the Liao will use these things when the Chinese army is attacking the city."

Di Qing didn't know when he appeared next to Peng Qi to explain, his eyes were full of excitement, whenever the Great Song crossbow arrows shrouded the Liao army like a dark cloud, Zhao Zhen could see Di Qing's hand clenched suddenly, and the green tendons on his hand also beat with his fist...... This thing just wants to fight and wants to go crazy.

"Official, when the horn of the Liao people retreats sounds, the last general is willing to lead three thousand to pursue the Baiwei title......"

Di Qing knelt on the ground and asked for battle, Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly and said, "You want to be handsome, how can you take the lead in the battlefield?" Besides, the Liao people had 50,000 people in front of the army, how many enemies were killed, can you ensure that they are defeated in one fell swoop? Don't look at the current Liao people are vulnerable, once they get to the grassland, it may be impossible to say which one is stronger or weaker! ”

Di Qing raised his head suddenly and said: "This is also the reason why the last general chose to go to the White Army, the White Army is strong in martial arts, and it is immediately proficient, and it is the most suitable for cavalry combat. ”

"Exactly! It is necessary to completely annihilate the army under the city...... I'm waiting for good news! ”

Di Qing, this kid, just wants to lead people down to kill the enemy and strengthen his morale, instead of charging at the front of the Liao army, what can't he agree with?

Yelu Zongxin finally couldn't resist the pressure and let his soldiers blow the horn of retreat, the Liao army under the city of Xijin Mansion was like an amnesty, and fled to his own army in a hurry, even if the ratchet crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty was sharp, it was difficult to eliminate everyone, even if it was leaked to the enemy, it didn't matter, it was important to escape at this time......

The Liao army came like a tide and withdrew like a tide, and the small wall outside the urn city did not play a role in blocking the footsteps of the Liao army at all, but became a refuge for them to hide from the rain of arrows......

The Liao people who fled in all directions were very smart, and they scattered to minimize the fate of being covered by crossbow arrows, and the effect was obvious, and soon the crossbow arrows on the city wall of Xijin Mansion stopped, and none of the arrows were shot from the city wall, which made the Liao people who were fleeing for their lives breathe a sigh of relief, but soon, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves appeared behind them, and they looked back to see the Liao people's souls.

The cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty rushed over like a tide, and the defenders on the walls of Xijin Mansion shouted almost simultaneously: "Gale, gale!" ”

Di Qing, who was the leader, wore the grimace mask that Zhao Zhen had drawn for him back then, and roared like a madman: "Kill!" The 3,000-strong Taba-white army shouted at the same time, and the sound alone frightened the Liao people's legs, and they wanted to run forward with both hands and feet.

Yelu Zongxin cautiously looked at all this in front of him, but he didn't send a single soldier to meet it, he wanted to see what kind of ability the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty had...... At the same time, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, in case the cavalry he sent was defeated, it was likely to lead to the complete rout of the front army, the battle had just begun, and he was just a test before he was hit by such a brutal blow from the Great Song Dynasty, which made the self-confidence in his heart begin to collapse......
