At this time, the rest of Zhuozhou City had been completely occupied by noise and fire, and only the area around the South Gate, which had not been affected by the war, was still in darkness and quiet.

This is due to the Liao army's previous siege strategy, in line with the principle of encircling three and missing one, although they still have enough troops, they did not deploy their troops and horses outside the south gate, so that everything here can maintain its original appearance. It is precisely because of this that the garrison troops arranged by the Changsheng army in the south gate area are also the least, and it is obviously the most suitable for Sun Tu and others to escape at night and take advantage of the chaos.

It was precisely because he understood the middle joint, whether it was Xiao Gan, Yu Wanyao and other generals, they all seemed quite anxious, and they didn't care about the arrangements and transfers of people elsewhere in the city, so they only led two or three thousand people, and went straight to the south gate to kill. Of course, compared to the total number of nearly 100,000 troops on both sides in the city today, Sun Tu, who only had a few hundred people, had an overwhelming advantage.

"Kill, ......" The roar and firelight of the sky instantly pierced the silence in the south of the city, and the mixed footsteps and the sound of horses' hooves shattered the night, and under the light of the fire, some people had already seen from a distance that twenty or thirty people had fallen in front of the city gate behind the large area of low houses, and the city gate that should have been closed had been opened at this moment.

This made Yu Wanyao even more anxious, these Song people acted really decisively and quickly, did they escape from the city so quickly? If this is the case, then I will be guilty. Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced at Xiao Gan beside him, and after seeing the other party's iron color and eyebrows twisted together, he was even more empty, so he couldn't care about anything else, and immediately rode his horse and rushed forward, shouting in his mouth: "Brothers, follow me, we must take down all those Song people tonight!" "At this time, it is to pretend, and you have to pretend to do your best and go all out.

At this time, those who could chase with the Liao army were all determined to take refuge in the Liao, and after hearing Yu Wanyao's order, everyone also shouted, rode their horses with all their might, and rushed straight to the south gate, leaving the thousands of Liao troops behind. Seeing this, Xiao Gan just pouted disdainfully, but did not stop him, he really needed these people to behave like this, so that he could control the entire Changsheng army as soon as possible and take Zhuozhou City.

The two-mile long street rushed by, and Yu Wanyao had already rushed to the guards who had fallen to the ground. But he didn't even sweep the corpses of these subordinates with his eyes, just directly controlled the horse past them, and rushed directly into the city gate. It is impossible for him to have the slightest pity for these useless subordinates, even if they are still alive, in order to give an explanation to the Liao people, he will order them to be killed.

The other soldiers of the victorious army also made a similar choice, and they followed closely behind and rushed to the city gate. Then, whether it was Yu Wanyao, who had already rushed into the city gate, or the others who had reached the door, they all let out a light cry full of doubts, and their footsteps stopped one after another, looking ahead in surprise.

The situation in front of him was indeed a bit unreasonable, although the city gate was pushed open by someone, enough for a team of several hundred people to pass through quickly, but the suspension bridge outside was still high, and there was no trace of being passive at all. This south gate is no better than the three gates in other places, the moat outside is still there, and it is separated from the outside of the city by a few feet, if you don't put down the suspension bridge, how many people will not be able to pass smoothly.

"What's going on...... "At a moment, all the officers and soldiers of the Changsheng Army who came down from Yu Wanyuan were a little confused, and they couldn't understand what the situation was facing at all.

And at this moment, the mutation protrudes!

As a former important city in the north, even in the hands of the Liao people, Zhuozhou City was quite prosperous before, not only with many shops, but also with a large population. In the area near the South Gate, there are many shops along the street and some two-story houses. It was only because of the rise and occupation of the victorious army that these houses and shops completely withered away, became empty houses and ruins, and gradually ignored by everyone, as if they had never existed.

Especially in the middle of the night, when everyone believed that Sun Tu had escaped from the south gate with his subordinates Song Army, it was impossible for anyone to pay attention to these accustomed empty gate buildings around them. But in these buildings that seemed to be ordinary in the past, countless black shadows appeared at this moment, accompanied by a low shout: "Release the arrow!" A puff of arrows rained down on the crowd in front of the city gate.

In an instant, a large number of victorious soldiers standing in front of the city gate fell down like wheat cut by a sickle during the autumn harvest. The heart-rending screams immediately resounded inside and outside the city gate, and everyone was confused, and they didn't know what to do, or they ran in or rushed out, and they were completely in a mess.

And in this way, they have completely become targets that archers can calmly aim, and the dense rain of arrows is still pouring in, harvesting and killing more victorious troops. In just a few moments, except for a few people who fled into the depths of the city gate, everyone had fallen into this sudden rain of arrows.

This change came too suddenly, and even the Liao army couldn't react at the first time. By the time they came to their senses, they were already in this mess. Only then did they roar out angrily: "It's the Song army, they actually set up an ambush on both sides!" ”

Xiao Gan was angry, and his heart suddenly tightened: "The number is not right, if according to the secret report I got before, there should only be two or three hundred Song troops left in the city, but now there are no less than a thousand archers on both sides......" He is also a person who made a decision on the spot, without any hesitation, he has already shouted loudly: "Go back!" Shoot the arrows and summon other soldiers and horses to destroy the Song army! ”

But at the moment when he said this, countless black shadows suddenly appeared above and inside the buildings on both sides of the long street where they were stationed, and then, a little red light lit up, and black shadows and arrows with fire points flew over before the reaction of the Liao army.

"Retreat!" At the same time as Xiao Gan roared, he had already hurriedly turned the horse's head around, and urged the war horse to sprint back. The other Liao soldiers also came back to their senses one after another, and hurriedly dodged and wanted to run back. But it was too late, and more than a dozen black shadows fell into the Liao army formation that was standing in dense columns, and then exploded in the flash of fire.

The huge explosion sounded with firelight, as well as a large number of ceramic fragments, iron nails, iron sand and other fragments scattered in all directions in a circle, and instantly exploded the Liao army up and down a miserable howl, and many people fell to the ground in response, screaming and rolling, it was really miserable to the extreme.

And the tragic encounter of the Liao army has just begun, when those arrows with a whistling arrow are shot in front of them, someone subconsciously raised a shield to block, but the arrow was blocked, but then there was an explosion in front of him at the same time, and the same impact and fragments flew in front of him, which was not something that a small round shield could cover, and immediately fell down with a scream.

Even though the Liao army had learned the power of mines before, they were also killed by these round balls and explosive bows and arrows, and suffered heavy casualties. In particular, the soldiers who came on horseback were thrown off their horses one after another because they were frightened and jumped wildly, and then they were trampled by the horses' hooves and human feet, and died tragically one after another.

It can be said that this sneak attack alone has completely killed this thousands of Liao troops, and the army has no strength to defend or resist. The only thing they could do was to retreat to the north with their heads in their hands like mourning dogs, hoping that the movement here would attract their comrades elsewhere in the city, and then rely on the superiority in strength to turn the tide of the battle.

This time, the Liao army suffered heavy casualties, almost all of them hung colors, even Xiao Gan, who ran the fastest, and his arm was also cut by a flying piece of iron, and he was still bubbling with blood at the moment. But he couldn't care about these anymore, in addition to continuing to rush forward with his horses, in order to get rid of the attack of the Song army, a series of questions arose in his heart - why did the Song army ambush here? How is it that their forces are completely different from what they have at their disposal? Just looking at what happened to Chang Shengjun just now, it is obvious that even these masters of Zhuozhou City did not know that there was such a change, so it was not that they had conspired with the Song people to calculate themselves earlier. But in this way, the question is even greater, how did so many Song troops enter Zhuozhou City silently?

It is difficult for Ren Xiaogan to have a definite answer to this series of questions at this time, but Fan Qi, who was also puzzled just now, already knew the cause and effect at this moment, and sighed repeatedly: "General Sun, I didn't expect you to have a series of arrangements a long time ago, it's ridiculous that those guys still want to calculate our ......"

Sun Tu stood at the top of one of the three-story buildings that was originally a restaurant, his eyes swept around, his face was full of lightness: "For today's victory, I have been planning and preparing for a long time, so naturally I want to kill them by surprise." I'm afraid that no matter how much Ren Liao dares to think about it, he will never think that I have already ordered the Shandong soldiers to enter the city in batches from the south gate a few days ago! As he spoke, his gaze fell on the familiar subordinates on the side—Ling Zhen, Shi Xiu, and Shi Qian...... For these people who once belonged to the Liangshan bandits, and later surrendered to him, this kind of sneaking into the city is indeed too familiar.

Whether it is the Liao people or the Chang Shengjun, he has been kept in the dark these days. In fact, as early as the night of the Liao army's arrival in Zhuozhou, the first batch of Shandong army reinforcements had already contacted Sun Tu. However, he did not let these subordinates reveal their whereabouts, but ordered them to steal the pillars according to the weakness of the internal defense in the south of the city.

In other words, during these days, the military horses guarding the south of the city had already been replaced by the Shandong army under Sun Tu, and Chang Shengjun never dreamed that the Great Song reinforcements they were expecting were actually by their side for a long time!
