There are less than 1,000 households in Zhaozhuang today, and from the perspective of ordinary military training, the young and strong Zhuang Ding who are more effective can barely get together 2,000, most of them are from the peaceful mainland, and have not experienced war, and the others are refugee households from other border areas such as Cangzhou and Yingzhou, and have seen Liaokou, and even suffered massacres and looting, but they may not have the courage and experience to resist. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether these battlefield junior brothers really dare to face the fierce Liao army at this time, and whether they can bravely resist the fierce attack of the Liao army at the critical moment remains to be tested.

Li Zhu, Liu Wen and other leaders who guarded the village did not know what the Liao army had in mind, and they did not dare to be careless at all.

There are two thousand regular infantry in the village, well-equipped, although half of them are the people of the Zhuang who lack of actual combat experience, but they fight in the field with swords and guns, and the overall strength is not necessarily weak by the same number of elite Liao army, which is the confidence of guarding Zhuangzi, the city is mainly responsible for operating the bed crossbow, the god arm crossbow and the hand crossbow technical work, if necessary, you can draw a knife to counterattack, in the daytime battle, you also have to divide the people to set up a shield protection and use the knife and gun to directly stop the enemy rushing to the head of the city, with two thousand against a thousand, only one wall, naturally fight easily, win simply.

However, at night, the field of vision is not clear, and it is impossible to judge in advance whether to attack the enemy attack on one side or on all four sides at the same time, and it is necessary to defend the four sides all the time.

The two thousand regular troops were divided into four parts, with only 500 people on each side, and with Zhuang Ding, who assisted in the defense, there were a total of 1,000 people on one side, and it seemed that the manpower was not small.

However, Zhaozhuang Castle is not small, larger than the scale of many county towns in the Great Song Dynasty. The Liao army bullied Zhao Zhuang with few troops, set up many cloud ladders, densely attacked with heavy troops, and defended with 500 troops and people who didn't know what kind of combat strength they had, and the pressure and danger suddenly came.

The 6,000 Liao troops who served as the first attackers frantically shouted and attacked swiftly along the many cloud ladders. The Liao army supporting behind them, with 2,000 good hands on each side, threw a rain of arrows violently at the dark city where there was no light and could not see the reality at all. The Liao army launched a full-scale onslaught when it came up, vowing to take Zhaozhuang in one fell swoop.

The battle reached a fever pitch almost instantly.

The hospitals for the wounded in the city, the places for gathering people to increase the army on all sides, and the main streets where the upper city must pass, were all lit up at this time, and it was almost daylight.

The doctors trained by Zhao Zhuang and many female nurses who are familiar with medical care stayed in the hospital, and they got up one after another to prepare for medical treatment.

Faced with a bloody war for the first time, many of the medical staff were afraid. Some were so nervous that they trembled.

One hundred and eighty paramedics who were responsible for treating the wounded on the spot and transporting the seriously wounded or corpses were also on standby in the city.

These men are also the regular army soldiers trained in Zhuangshang, well-trained, and the infantry of Honjo participated in the actual combat training of robbing the Liao State and fighting the peninsula with the Northern Army, and saw the bloody horror of the battlefield, during which they were intentionally trained to wield the enemy with their own hands, so now they see the dangerous and fierce battle, listening to the rain of arrows falling on the city like raindrops, and their hearts are inevitably nervous, but they are not really afraid, and they are ready to help kill a few enemies at any time during the rescue process. But the migrant workers who were transporting the seriously wounded to the hospital under the city were really nervous.

The screams of the battle to the sky pierced the dead night sky and spread to the village, which was scary to listen to during the day and even more terrifying at night, so that the farmers who had not experienced the war woke up in their sleep and could not help but be frightened and uneasy.

The young and old men of the family who had not been dispatched to the battle got up one after another, comforted their women and children that they did not have to be afraid, and then went to sleep peacefully, picked up the spears they had been given, tried to suppress the panic, summoned up the courage to go out of the house consciously, and went down to the army under the leadership of the street representative to inquire about the situation of the battle, and were ready to obey the call at any time to urgently reinforce the city.

It's my own happy home.

The old lady is right, if you are timid and selfish and flee or dare not fight, this place will be ruined, where can you find such a good home? Where is there hope for those of us?

What's more, it's about the life and death of all ages.

I swear to defend this place to the death. There is no way to retreat, so you have to fight bravely with Liaokou. Liao Man is also a human being, he can't fight, it's a big deal to jump off the city with the barbarian and die together.

Anyway, when I die, there is no pillar in the family, and I have my own family to take care of it, and I will definitely take care of it well, and my family is better than having my own life.

However, fear and chaos are inevitable throughout the city. The real test has arrived.

In the field hospital, the old lady suddenly appeared.

The old grandmother was dressed in a strong suit, and she walked with a smile on her face accompanied by the divine doctor An Daoquan and the male and female attendants, and entered the spacious hospital that was temporarily rebuilt from the warehouse of the former factory, and saw that many of the big girls, young daughters, daughters-in-law, and nurses here were panicked, and she said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. The enemy could not enter the city. The roof of this house is concrete, thick, solid, you all know. Even if the thieves used whirlwind cannons and crossbow guns, they couldn't penetrate it, not to mention that they didn't. It's safe here. Don't be nervous. Take care of the wounded as if they were trained and familiar with caring for the sick. Except for the bloody spots. It's no different. ”

The old lady's composure and words made the panicked atmosphere in the hospital significantly relaxed.

After pacifying the place, leaving An Daoquan to preside over the work, the grandmother got in the car and quickly went to the preparation places on all sides along the smooth cement streets of the village to encourage the nervous villagers.

The panic and confusion in the village subsided.

The grandmother did not go back to rest, but returned to the hospital and prepared to participate in the ambulance work herself.

Engaged in wartime medical care and logistical support, the old man has been fighting against Liaoning for decades, and has a lot of operational experience.

It's just that now there are nieces and young and strong women such as Li Zhu's wife and Liu Wen's wife who are responsible for presiding over the logistics support, and there is no need for the old people to work hard.

The news spread intentionally.

The farmers and the soldiers guarding the city were deeply encouraged to hear that the old woman was so old and had such a respected status, and that she was working so hard at this juncture.

Nancheng, which is convenient for the deployment of troops and the use of large siege equipment, must be the main direction of attack of the Liao army. Zhao Zhuang's general Li Zhu was stationed in Nancheng to command.

As for whether the 2,000 reserve Zhuang soldiers who participated in the battle tonight dare to fight or not, Li Zhu has no bottom in his heart.

Under the terrifying and dense arrow rain attack that the Liao army hastily carried out under the cover of night to touch the vicinity of the city in a vain attempt to suppress the long-range weapons and defense on the city to seize the advantage, they were able to judge according to the password and their own feelings to use the shield cloth into a dense shield to protect themselves in time, and took over the protection of the regular army outside the cover that needed assistance, so that the regular army could free up their hands to focus on attacking the city by climbing ladders to attack the city, showing the results of military training accumulated in ordinary times.

In the end, all the hard work was in vain.

Otherwise, just a few blinks of an eye rain of arrows can kill and injure these people, and it is useless to transfer these people to death.

At the moment, he didn't have the heart to pay much attention to these militias.

There are too many ladders to carry the Liao army to climb the city frantically and attack, and the situation is sinister.

The moving bow and arrow array of the Liao army in the distance seriously threatened and hindered the defense of the city, and needed to be dismantled in time.

Small, you think that you can hide in the darkness in the distance, you can't see the city, and you can effectively hide the trail and avoid the blow by constantly changing the direction of the shot?

Li Zhu was annoyed and sneered, urging a remote counterattack and giving the order.

A crisp gong rang out across the night sky, and a burst of high beams shot out from the firing ports in the bunkers in the city.

Although the light emitted by the big flashlight was not as strong as the high-power high beam, it could also shine a hundred and ten steps away, and the arrow array hidden in the darkness of the Liao army suddenly revealed its figure.

Boom ......

There was a sound of bed crossbow strings.

Hundreds of crossbow guns roared and instantly tore through the arrow array protected by giant shields, causing the Liao army's flesh and blood to fly, forming blanks in the small arrow arrays everywhere.

The surviving Liao army's shield hand archers were terrified and confused, and suspected that the electric light was the power of ghosts and gods, and Queen Cang withdrew, suddenly revealing protective loopholes everywhere, and became a living target under the electric light.

Immediately after, the Divine Arm Crossbow in the bunker opened fire intensively.

Three hundred steps can penetrate the range of the iron armor, the crossbow arrows shot from the cover can be imagined within the range of one hundred and eighty steps, the huge shield wrapped in raw cowhide and iron can also penetrate the frontal resistance, the archers who have lost their protection only wear leather armor, and some of them are cool, and the leather armor is not worn, how can they resist the blow, and the ghost crying wolf howls and falls down in the crossbow arrows one by one.

There were quite a few Liao troops who were lucky enough to escape the blow in the darkness farther away.

But hearing the sound of whizzing arrows around them, there were still people who kept being hit by arrows or even fell, and the leading officers did not dare to approach the castle to shoot arrows to cover the siege. The other Liao archers were even more frightened, afraid of both the bed crossbow and the divine arm crossbow, and the bright high beam that did not understand what it was.

Nancheng lifted the threat of suppression with bows and arrows, and the defenders of the city were light, and under the flexible illumination of the flashlight, it was much easier to counterattack the Liao army besieging the city, blocking the precarious.

The east and west sides of the city are also facing the crisis on Li Zhu's side, and when they heard the sound of the gong, they almost rang the gong and launched a long-range attack......

The six kings of the Halal Mountain were assigned to the three sides of the city to help defend it.

Just now with his cronies braved the rain of arrows to kill a lot of Liao troops who took the opportunity to rush to the city, killing this enjoyable, but also very nervous, brave, during the day to overcome the fear of the legendary invincible Liao army, not afraid of fighting with the fierce Liao army in close combat, but they are afraid of cold arrows in the dark and chaos.

The threat of bows and arrows was lifted, and countless torches were lit up in the city.

The vision is clear, now it's okay, you can finally let go of your hands and feet to kill Liao Man and relieve his hatred.

…….

During the fierce battle, through the six collapsed fortresses of the main city, some Liao troops took advantage of the night to sneak over and try to raid the fence, and quickly broke through into the city from a short passage.

When he came to the dim fire shaking in the city, he saw that the Liao general who led the team was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

During the siege of the city in the afternoon, the Liao army also saw that the fence passage was still there, and the scouts who went back and the general who attacked the southern city reported the matter to Han Dutong, only a few hours passed, and at night, the fence was actually gone, and the passage that could be easily broken through had been sealed by cement stones, although the time was short, the cement stones on the plug had not been dried and solidified, and it was not so difficult to break through, but it was impossible to raid and attack quickly.

What made the Liao generals vomit blood even more was that when the Liao army sneaked over to pick up the passage with knives and guns, the city suddenly rumbled and lifted down many large stones from a huge wooden plank, and smashed all the 20 or so strong and brave Liao soldiers who were raising shields to protect or busy working below. If you want to break the passage now, you have to move the stones and the broken corpses first, which is even more difficult and hopeless. And the stones that smashed the Liao army to hide the passage were the ones that the Liao army had prepared to bombard the main city before.

In Yanshan County, because the residents have learned to build houses with stones and cement, they can pick up large and small stones cleanly, and it is not easy to get stones when the Liao army comes.

It was hard to dig and smash from a distance to collect large stones from the soil or the mountains, and it was difficult to transport them over on a hot day, but it did not break Zhaozhuang, but became a powerful material for filling loopholes in Zhaozhuang and a weapon to kill the Liao army.

It's so infuriating!

This Zhao Zhuang people think too carefully, and they calculate too carefully and too carefully!

How can you be so far-sighted and so meticulous?

The more Liao Jiang thought about it, the more he felt depressed, and the flashlight swept over the city, and the dense hand crossbows shot down, not to mention moving stones and breaking the passage, it was difficult to stand on his feet, and he completely took his life to fill it, and then persevered, it was as tragic and ridiculous as tearing the stone city with his bare hands, and he had no choice but to leave a lot of corpses on the collapsed fortress and retreat in embarrassment.

Actually, General Liao really thought badly. Li Zhu and the others are not gods who can calculate, they are not so shrewd.

It's true that the fence access was not overlooked. But it was not blocked in time before, not because the city lacked this material. Li Zhu wanted to use this temptation to kill some Liao troops.

Anyway, it is dragging and consuming the strength of the Liao army. If you can kill one, count as one.

After the first battle during the day, Li Zhu was afraid that the Liao army would be angry and report the revenge, and there were not enough people to defend the city, so he could not divide his troops to guard the six passages and waste his troops, so it was blocked. And on the city prepared the same equipment as a rocker, the two ends were supported, the stones were piled up, and the support for the outside of the city was knocked down when used, and the other end was pulled up by pulley manpower to break the balance, and the stones were tilted and rolled outward, and under the action of gravity, they naturally lifted down the city in a blink of an eye, and easily buried the Liao army below and further sealed the passage.

This kind of small means, with Zhao Zhuang's technical knowledge, is completely improvised. In the eyes of the Liao army, it is magical.

Although the Cloud Ladder Siege Battle was strong and powerful, and it almost broke through the city defenses several times, it was generally caught in the daytime life-filling battle.

Han Chang's prepared back-hand, two huge siege vehicles, came slowly under the pull of dozens of pack horses.

This kind of tool is a large piece higher than the city wall, planted with fifty elite ironclad hoplites, close to the head of the city can be condescending to shoot arrows to suppress the opponent, open the front of the protective plate to the city is the passage of attack, on the other side there are also plank ramps on the siege vehicle, the whole company is a bridge that is constantly killed, the front is not afraid of bows and arrows of hoplites in the city to open the gap, the people behind can rush to the city head, the city will naturally break.

On the side of the south city gate, the huge door-smashing car of the Liao army was also slowly approaching the city gate under the strict protection of pack horses and sword and shield hands.

If this thing is a hit. With Zhaozhuang's not thick and strong city gate, I am afraid that the gate can be destroyed and the passage into the city can be opened in just one click.

And Zhao Zhuang lacked troops, and the crazy enemy on the ladder often had defensive loopholes, and he could not draw troops to block the city gate and resist the siege vehicles.
