Li Jinglong heard the news that the Yan army was attacking Yongping in Texas, and he was overjoyed and said: "The Yan thief really fell for my plan." Then he ordered the army to go north immediately, and met with Guo Ying's army and Hejian Mansion, and the two sides joined forces, totaling 530,000 troops, and went north together to attack Beiping.

On this day, the army arrived at the north of the Lugou Bridge, but saw Changhong lying on the waves, the river was rushing, there was no one on the bridge, and there was no half of the defenders on the other side of the river. Tanma reconnoitred for a long time and reported that the Yan army was not seen within a radius of dozens of miles. Li Jinglong was overjoyed when he heard the report and said: "The Yongding River is the first barrier in the south of Beiping, and the swallow thief does not guard this bridge, and I know that it is incompetent." ”

Gao Wei warned: "The general be careful, I am afraid this is the swallow thief's trick to lure the enemy, when I am under the fortified city, he will turn back and kill back, I will suffer from the enemy on my back, I am afraid of accidents." ”

Li Jinglong snorted and said: "I have an army of 500,000, how many people can the Yan thieves have, at most only 100,000 people, I can besiege the city and send reinforcements to capture the Yan thieves." ”

Gao Wei shook his head speechlessly.

The imperial army arrived at the city of Beiping, built a camp at the nine gates respectively, surrounded the city, and let go of the Anzhen Gate and the Jiande Gate alone, which was called the siege of the three queyi in the art of war, in order to shake the determination of the soldiers defending the city.

Li Jinglong ordered the general to capture Tongzhou, set up the Chinese army camp in Zhengcunba, and led more than 400,000 troops to wait for Zhu Di to return to the division, and fought a decisive battle here.

Guo Ying led more than 100,000 troops to attack Beiping, he ordered Shandong capital Sidu to command Sheng Yong to lead troops to attack the main gate of Beiping South Gate Li, here is the first city gate on the central axis of Beiping, followed by the Imperial City of the Ancient Yuan, the most important, so the city gate here is built tall and magnificent, strong and incomparable, can be called the gateway of Beiping.

Sheng Yong was originally Geng Bingwen's deputy general, with thick eyebrows and thin eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, a tall figure, and a figure of around forty. After Geng Bingwen was dismissed, he became Guo Ying's deputy again. Guo Ying intended to promote him, so he specially ordered him to lead the troops to attack the main gate of Li, so that the gate was broken, and Beiping fell, which was really the first achievement.

Li Jinglong sent Zhang Shixing to lead Xiaolingwei to help in the war, he didn't want to keep Zhang Shixing by his side, lest his every move be known to him, and then secretly tell the emperor, there was a suspicion of hindrance, although Zhang Shixing did not do so. But Li Jinglong still sent Zhang Shixing to Guo Ying.

Guo Ying also knew that Zhang Shixing was born in Jinyiwei and had a close relationship with Emperor Jianwen, so he didn't want to offend him or reuse him, so he ordered Zhang Shixing to lead his headquarters to attack Pingzemen in the west, so as to assist Sheng Yong.

Sheng Yong spent several days of hard work to slowly clear the iron thistles, antlers, horses, and horse traps outside the moat, and then build a flying bridge, destroy and bulldoze the sheep and horse walls under the city wall, and then organize a large army to start attacking the city.

On the Yan army's side, it was the veteran Gu Cheng who guarded the main gate of Li. Zhu Gaochi, the prince of the world, watched the southern army busy clearing obstacles outside the city, and complained to Gu Chengdao with some anxiety: "Gu Dudu, you see that the southern army is clearing the barricades, and they are going to attack the city on a large scale, how can you be indifferent and not send a single soldier?" ”

Gu Cheng said calmly: "Shizi, you don't know anything, the way to defend the city, you don't have to worry about it, and you have to wait for it." There is no fear that it will not be attacked, and it will not be attacked. That Sheng Yong spent a lot of time outside the city to remove the horses, antlers and other things, which really tempted me to attack it. Our army has few soldiers, and can only hold on to the city, if you go out of the city to attack the enemy, it will be in its arms, and the city will not be protected. ”

Only then did Zhu Gaochi suddenly realize, and thanked him: "The danger of Northern Peace is related to the governor. ”

Gu Cheng returned the salute and said: "The old minister is willing to live and die with Beiping." ”

While he was talking, the Southern Army trebuchet began to throw stone bullets into the city, and Gu Cheng hurriedly protected Zhu Gaochi and lay down, hiding behind the pheasant. The sound of stone bullets hitting the city wall is like thunder, so the stone thrower is also called the thunderbolt. Several stone bullets shattered the battlements, sending the soldiers hiding behind them to the ground.

Gu Cheng's voice was not good, and he ordered loudly: "Open the net." ”

More than a dozen soldiers got up and looked at the place where the stone bullets came from, and held several large nets made of thick hemp ropes, supported them with bamboo poles, and hung them up seven or eight feet away from the city wall.

At this time, a large number of southern troops had already crossed the moat through the flying bridge, erected ladders under the city walls, and began to attack the city.

Gu Cheng ordered the arrows to be released, but the bottom of the Southern Army's ladder was covered with raw cowhide, and the soldiers hid in it from being attacked by arrows. Gu Cheng ordered the city to set up a yaksha, and when the soldiers of the southern army were about to climb up to the top of the city along the ladder, they put down the yaksha with a rope winch and used it to attack the soldiers who climbed the city.

This thing is made of wet elm, one zhang long, one foot in diameter, barbs are installed all around, about five inches long, there are wheel feet at both ends, the end is very powerful, the soldiers of the Southern Army are dying when they are touched, and they are dying next to each other, and they have fallen down from the city.

At this time, there was a loud bang under the city, and the dust was flying, and a hundred Yan soldiers came to report to Gu Cheng: "Governor, the big thing is not good, the gate of the urn was crashed by a rushing car." "Number One

Gu Cheng reprimanded: "What are you panicking, push out the blade car and plug the city gate." The hundred households agreed and took the order.

Gu Cheng ordered someone to light the dovetail torch and threw it at the southern army. The dovetail torch is made of dry reeds and grass, and it is divided into two parts, such as a dovetail, and it is poured with grease, and after it is lit, it is really like a fire swallow flying, falling on the rushing car, and when the rushing car is set on fire, the soldiers of the Southern Army will run away with their heads in their arms.

At this time, three Lu buses drove under the city, which was a kind of siege tower with eight wheels and five stories high. The bottom layer is filled with soldiers marching on carts, and the other four layers are filled with siege soldiers. The vehicle is about four zhang high, about two zhang wide, about three zhang long, the car and the city are high, covered with wet felt all around, not afraid of arrows and stones, the top layer is actually equipped with artillery, the car and the city are Qi, about 100 steps away from the city wall, the arrows and artillery are fired together, the Yan army is beaten to the back of the horse, embarrassed.

Gu Cheng said to Zhu Gaochi: "It's urgent, the old minister went to the city and destroyed the three Lu buses, the prince of the world, you must stay here, you must not lose, otherwise Beiping will not be guaranteed." With that, Gu Cheng held a big axe, waved his hand, and rushed down the city with dozens of people.

Zhu Gaochi was afraid that he would not be able to defend the main gate of Li, so he hurriedly ordered the defenders near the city gate to come to support.

Gu Cheng killed from the broken urn gate, and the southern army was caught off guard, and dozens of people were cut down, and they retreated one after another. Gu Cheng killed all the way to the foot of the Lu bus, swung his big axe, and slashed towards the supporting pillar. Seeing this, the soldiers on the bottom cart hurriedly rushed over, pulled out their waist knives, and pounced on Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng didn't stop, and continued to slash at the wooden pillar one by one, but shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Resist me." ”

His own soldiers rushed forward and fought with the Confederate soldiers. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Southern Army upstairs were shocked, and before they had time to rush down, they opened their bows and arrows and shot at Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng dodged left and right, and there were still a few arrows on his back, but the big axe in his hand did not stop, and finally there was a loud bang, and one of the pillars of the Lu bus was cut off by Gu Cheng, because the upper four floors were full of hundreds of soldiers, and the weight was out of balance in an instant, and the Lu bus creaked for a while, and then collapsed, and hundreds of soldiers were buried under the rocks and giant trees, and the screams were endless.

Gu Cheng pulled out the arrow, took off his shirt, revealing the green dragon tattoo, holding a big axe, looking up to the sky and shouting, and walked towards the other two Lu buses, blood dripping down his back, making the green dragon's face hideous and abnormal.

The soldiers of the Southern Army on the two Lu buses were stunned by the courage of this septuagenarian, and the soldiers at the bottom hurriedly got out and immediately ran away without a trace. The upper-level soldiers also hurriedly went downstairs, and under the crowd, they actually squeezed down the two Lu buses.

——————

Zhang Shixing is watching the situation under the Pingze Gate at the moment, these days he also ordered the soldiers to first clear all kinds of obstacles outside the city, he himself has no experience in siege, Xiaolingwei is not usually equipped with siege equipment, only some simple ladders, Zhang Shixing knew that he blindly ordered the siege of the city, just in vain to injure the lives of his soldiers, so he ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows to the city, and the defenders of the city did not bother to take care of them, just hid in the battlements, and looked out from time to time.

Zhang Shixing suddenly heard the sound of killing in the southeast direction, and saw the enemy army running around on the city wall, panicked, knowing that there must be something wrong at the main gate of Li, he looked up at the watchtower car, the watchtower car is eight zhang high, the top shelf, five feet wide, there is a person inside, holding a white flag, specially designed to watch the enemy. At this moment, the soldiers on the cart slowly rolled up the white flag in their hands, which meant that the enemy had retreated.

Zhang Shixing was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered his sergeants to start attacking the city. The soldiers of Xiaoling Guard lifted the bamboo ladder, shouted, and rushed to the side of the moat, put down the ladder, used it as a trench bridge, ran cautiously, came to the city wall, erected the ladder, and began to ascend the city.

Although most of the Yan army in the city was transferred to defend the main gate of Li, they did not panic, threw countless rolling logs and stones downward, and shot the soldiers who climbed the city wall with firearms.

Seeing that the Xiaoling guards fell one after another, Zhang Shixing was furious and ordered Niu Er to set up a three-bow bed crossbow, which is also called "Eight Ox Crossbows", saying that its tension is huge. The bed crossbow arrow is made of hardwood as the shaft of the arrow, and the iron piece is the feather, the size and thickness are like the horse lance, the range can reach more than 1,000 steps, and one arrow can penetrate several people, which is really a sharp weapon for killing.

Niu Er was puzzled: "This crossbow is good for field battles, but it is useless to attack the city, what is Commander Zhang doing with him?" ”

Zhang Shixing said angrily: "You don't care, just shoot at the city wall." I'm useful. ”

Niu Er ordered people to set up a few bed crossbows and shoot them at the city wall, and the Yan soldiers saw it and hid behind the pheasants.

Niu Er shot a few rounds of bed crossbows, but did not shoot a single Yan soldier, only to see dozens of arrow shafts nailed to the city wall, the Xiaoling guards were puzzled when they saw this, and some even began to snicker.

Zhang Shixing ordered someone to take a shield, holding a shield, rushed through the moat, and flew on an arrow shaft below, the arrow shaft trembled, Zhang Shixing stepped on another arrow shaft, just three times and two jumps, he actually flew to the city, and the Xiaoling guards under the city saw that his kung fu was so good, and they couldn't help but applaud.

A Yan soldier in the city heard the sound, only to poke his head out of the battlement mouth to look at the movement, Zhang Shixing suddenly jumped in from the battlement of the city wall, drew a knife in his hand, and slashed at the Yan army holding a firecracker, the Yan army did not have time to shoot, just greeted with a firearm in his hand, with a bang, sparks splashed, Zhang Shixing's knife was heavy, slid down the breech of the firecracker, and cut the helmet of the Yan soldier, suddenly a scream, long hair flying, and a beautiful face appeared in front of Zhang Shixing's eyes.
