Chapter 12: Bravery

At this time, Zhi Keshi didn't have the time to take care of Chen Ang's stay, the menacing Liao army made him nervous, Fuzhou City had not experienced a war for many years, and he was a little uncertain whether he could survive this time.

Before the cavalry of the Liao army came to the city, the crossbow arrows of the Song army could shoot two rounds, and after two rounds, the Liao cavalry had already come to the city, at this time, the Liao cavalry also began to shoot arrows at the city wall, so it became a mutual shot between the two sides.

Immediately after the thunderous sound of war drums in the Liao camp, Zhi Keshi noticed that the infantry of the Liao army also began to swarm towards the city of Fuzhou, and the commander of the Liao army, Yelu Dashi, was still very good at studying the art of war, so that the cavalry was restrained and the infantry was pressed, which could minimize the casualties of the Liao soldiers.

With the addition of the infantry of the Liao army, the whole battlefield fell into a white-hot state, the Song army relied on the advantage of the city wall, from top to bottom to shoot crossbow arrows at the Liao army, and the Liao army under the city did not seem to care about how many people were killed and wounded on their side, a Liao man was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, I saw him holding the arrow shaft with one hand, and pulled it out, blood gushed out from his shoulder, the man roared, and then continued to rush towards the city without his life.

The roar came, which made the Song soldiers who had not experienced a battle formation for a long time look a little solemn, which was a little frightened.

Seeing this, Zhi Keshi said to everyone: "Do you know how those splashes in Fuzhou City are brave and ruthless?" ”

The soldiers didn't know what to do with this, and a soldier next to him subconsciously replied: "I don't know!" ”

"Those splashes carried short knives, then pulled up their pants, and just stuck a knife into their thighs...... "After Zhi Keshi finished speaking, he pointed to the Liao army under the city, and said with a smile: "In this way, the Liao army dares to say that it is brave, and those splashes in the city are braver than them, and such Liao people, the splashes in the city are more like men than them." ”

Hearing the joke of Zhi Keshi, there was a burst of laughter in the city, and the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated.

In the camp of the Liao army, Yelu Dashi looked at the Liao infantry that had rushed past, and coldly gave an order: "Let the trebuchets desperately throw stones, all the trebuchets aim at one position, and keep bombarding, this general wants to see how long the wall of the Song army can last." ”

The method of Yelu Dashi is very direct, but it is very effective, even if it is a city wall that insists on it, as long as it is constantly bombarded by the stone thrower, I believe it will soon be blasted open.

The goal of the Liao army is very clear, and effective, the face is serious, according to the development of this trend, it will not be long before this city wall will be broken by the Liao army's stone thrower, and now the Song army has no such sharp weapon as the bed crossbow, but it seems helpless in the face of the Liao army's stone thrower.

Under the city of Fuzhou, the infantry of the Liao army at this time had already approached the city, and some soldiers had begun to erect ladders, and then they began to attack the city.

The soldiers of the Song army continued to shoot at the city, and the crossbow arrows were not enough, so they used rolling stones and sandalwood wood, after these things were used up, the Song people even used the night pot at night as weapons, but this time there were too many Liao soldiers who came to attack the city, one Liao soldier fell, and another Liao soldier followed closely to fill his position, endless.

Yelu Dashi looked at the Liao army on the city wall, and said to the deputy general: "Order the army to attack in an all-round way, the first soldier to attack Fuzhou City, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be one hundred taels of silver!" Yelu Dashi seemed to have won the battle, and he said a little proudly: "Tonight, I want to drink in Fuzhou City!" ”

The Liao army attacked in an all-round way, and the pressure of the Song army in Fuzhou City immediately doubled, and the troops began to be overstretched, and gradually, the Liao soldiers had begun to attack the city wall of Fuzhou, but they were soon cut down by the Song soldiers on the city wall.

The man below fell to the ground hard, and was slammed by the soldiers above, and immediately his internal organs were bleeding, and blood spurted out of his mouth, like a blood-colored fountain.

Although a Liao soldier was cut down, there were more Liao soldiers who climbed the city wall, and the people on horseback began to show their bravery at this time, and they rushed up the city wall like a desperate person, fearless of death.

The war has been fought to noon in a blink of an eye, the midsummer sun is scorching the earth, but the Liao army has no intention of retreating, countless lives died under the city wall of Fuzhou City, the Liao soldiers attacked the city wall again and again, but then they were beaten down by the Song army again and again, and the war between the two sides fell into a stalemate at this moment.

The battle was fought at this time, it was more of a contest of willpower, who persevered, who could win the war, and who could not hold on, it was likely to fail, but the Song army was obviously more miserable at this moment, the Liao army might be able to retreat, but if the Song army failed, it would only be slaughtered, and under the threat of death, a group of Song soldiers burst out with strong resistance.

However, the direction of the war is often not shifted by the will of the people, accompanied by a loud noise, under the repeated bombardment of the stone thrower, a piece of the city wall of Fuzhou City finally could not withstand the blow, "boom", collapsed a piece, there was a gap of about one zhang.

Although the city wall of Fuzhou City has not collapsed, but through this gap, the difficulty of the attack is much more convenient, and the Liao army once again burst out with strong combat effectiveness, and they rushed to the city through this gap.

There was no war in the Liao and Song dynasties for many years, which made the city wall of Fuzhou City fall into disrepair for a long time, under the bombardment of the Liao army, it finally couldn't bear it, and it collapsed violently, and his eyes were red, at this moment he really had an urge to kill, at this critical time, the city wall was collapsed by the Liao army, which was too big a blow to the morale of the Song army.

"Go to a few people, block that hole for so-and-so!" Zhe Keshi shouted.

Immediately, the soldiers of the Song army agreed, and Zhe Keshi shouted: "Remember, if you fight to death, you have to block that opening, if the mouth is broken by the Liao army, you don't have to come back!" ”

A team of Song soldiers rushed over without fear of death, like moths to a fire.
