Chapter 460: Clearing the Outside of the City

The lightning tactics of the Tang army frightened the Khitans, and the Khitan Dynasty learned that the Tang army only took ten days, and the 300,000 troops arrived directly under the city of Youzhou, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

Youzhou defender is Yelufeng, seeing that the Tang army has a head and no tail, Yelufeng does not dare to fight, relying on the strong city to wait for help, Youzhou City has nearly 20,000 cavalry of elite Han troops such as the Imperial Forest Army, Shenwu Army, and the Crane Control Army, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of various ethnic groups such as Khitan and Xi Bohai, and the grain and grass reserves in the city are enough to support several years, as long as the city is not breached, he is still confident that the reinforcements will arrive.

The garrisons around the Khitan Kingdom in Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo rushed to Youzhou, Nanjing, and a real battle began under Youzhou City...... At this time, Duan Mingyu was attacking Youzhou City, and when the offensive was at its most violent, there were more than a million arrows in an hour, and you can imagine what a spectacular scene it was. After the battle that day, the Khitan people in the city only recruited women, children, the old and weak to pick them up, a moment of effort, the arrows picked up were piled up like firewood stacks, but Youzhou City was still immovable, to capture it, it was not enough to attack from a distance, it was necessary to let the Tang army set foot on its city, and it was not easy to do this.

Youzhou's 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses are enough to defend the entire Youzhou city into an iron wall, and the 200,000 troops of the Tang Army trapped Youzhou to the ground, but they could not put all the 200,000 troops on the battlefield, so the various departments took turns to attack the city. Trying his best to drain the forces in the city.

The three trenches, two barriers, and the passage of advance and retreat are all well organized. And all this was done in silence, and often when an order was given, and no one roared back and forth, nor did the general give an order, a group of soldiers rushed forward and immediately put the commander's will into practice. On the other hand, every time Yang Fugong's camp at the north gate issued a military order, the generals always had to shout and shout, and the soldiers came and went in a hurry, running more quickly than anyone else, but it was difficult to get in place for half a day, and the quality of the soldiers was really worlds apart.

Suddenly, Duan Mingyu only felt that his eyes lit up, as if the sun erupted and jumped out of the sea level, sprinkling countless rays of light all over the earth. But it wasn't the sun, it was a myriad of fires. Each light was faint, but when they lit up at the same time, it shook the heavens and the earth.

Countless rockets rushed to the head of the city, followed by the sound of killing, and under the continuous suppression of rockets and poison gas bombs, the soldiers pushed the siege equipment such as watchtowers, nest cars, ladders, moats, and bridges to rush forward......

At the same time, tsunami-like fighting sounded in all directions. Duan Ming Yuhao stood in the Chinese army and saw that Youzhou City was like a city under the blooming of countless ceremonial flowers, and it was illuminated. Rockets flew like a galaxy in the city, and the figures of the soldiers urgently mobilized at the head of the city seemed to be clearly visible.

Then Duan Mingyu saw huge stones flying up from the city, two of which hit a nest car, although the nest car was extremely strong, but under the impact of such a boulder, it was also broken wood, and the tall bracket had a tendency to collapse, and then countless rockets hit the nest car that had not fallen, and the sparks spread rapidly, and the defenders in the city began to counterattack.

When the splendor of the fireworks wears away, it burns out only a grain of gunpowder. But the splendor of the stars at the head of this Shouchun city burns human life. How many lives will burn out this life in this night? Shouchun City once again withstood the pressure of a strong attack, and broken corpses, broken weapons, and corpses could be seen everywhere on the flat ground of the city. The extremely strong smell of blood permeated the entire battlefield, and the city and the city were full of extremely miserable scenes. This place was on fire, and the bushes and firewood that were constantly piling up were baking the entire ground, and the heat on the city, the city and the city were rolling down, and the soldiers were far away.

On that side, the city and the city were constantly firing at each other. Arrows, poisonous smoke balls, and thunderbolt arrows are all magical. On the battlefield where the shooting is raining down. A large siege fortress has begun to take shape, and countless divine soldiers are coming and going like ants. Carrying stones and civil engineering ahead, the wooden frame cowhide veil on both sides is still intact, but the cowhide veil on the huge wooden support above the head has been full of holes, and people are constantly falling down with arrows, but the wide and heavy siege fortress is constantly widening, heightening, and reinforced, and the Shence army has manpower.

It is foreseeable that when it is level with the city, countless pedals will hit the city head at the same time, and the unreachable Shouchun City will become a flat land for them. At that time, the Shen Strategy, who had suffered so much, was angry and fierce hatred that would pour out on Youzhou City.

Youzhou City was repaired on behalf of the city and established a very tight blockade network, but these blockade points are mainly based on geographical advantages, and the fortress beacon that condescendingly takes a defensive position cannot arrange too many people and horses, once it is invaded, its danger will no longer become its danger. The danger of Youzhou lies in the terrain, if there is an internal response, the advantage will be lost, but because of the height of the city, they cannot quickly gather people.

The men and horses on both sides were killed into a pot of porridge and fought for a long time, but in this way, there was a response and containment inside, and no one climbed the fortress wall to defend against external enemies.

All kinds of blades rushed forward, and in an instant, they knocked down the Khitan soldiers at the gate of the city. The body fell above the fire, sparks scattered. fluttering up, and the people around him, after the Khitan soldiers guarding the bridge were cut down, they didn't react, until a tall man, wielding a blood-stained long knife, rushed onto the suspension bridge, this man was Duan Mingyu's general Xu Jing. Behind him, the roar of the one hundred and ten elites selected from the Divine Strategy Army exploded under Youzhou City: "Those who sacrifice the city will not die!" ”

Not only at the south gate, but also near the north gate, at the same time, one hundred and ten selected elites drew their blades, rushed to the drawbridge, and rushed straight to the city gate! The number set up is Wang Yanzhang of the Divine Army! Wang Yanzhang can fight through the battle, at this moment the two generals attacked Youzhou City at the same time, Youzhou City suddenly fell into a chaos, the situation of the city gate made the guard Yelufeng frightened, the Khitan army on the periphery of Youzhou City was completely emptied, Yelufeng saw the Tang army mighty, helplessly, had to order the pull of the drawbridge, close the city gate, in this way, the Khitan people can really only blindly wait for help, can not take the initiative to attack, defending the city is the weakness of the Khitan people, so that the Khitan people can only be a turtle with a shrunken head.
