(Class reunion, I'm back late, sorry.) ）

Xiao Chala rushed to the city tower in a panic, but saw that Yelu Dashi had already arrived and was directing the Liao army to defend.

When Yelu Dashi saw that Xiao Chala was running to the city tower in a hurry, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but he still had to step forward and suppress his anger and salute Xiao Chala, "My lord, you are here!" ”

Xiao Chala didn't hear the anger in Yelu Dashi's tone, and he couldn't care about it at this moment, so he hurriedly nodded towards Yelu Dashi and walked towards the battlement, and when he completely saw the scene outside, he was so shocked that he grabbed the battlement, his face was full of shock!

I saw that the outside of the city, which was still empty yesterday, was now surrounded by a black oppressive army, surrounding the entire Gaotang City from all directions! 100 miles of joint ventures, grabbing flags and hunting, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are operating outside the camp, plus those who have not yet shown up in the camp, hundreds of thousands are few!

What shocked Xiao Chala even more was that there were more people in civilian clothes among the enemy army, who were driving carts, holding shovels and shovels, and were digging pits in full swing about five or six hundred steps away from Gaotang City!

Yes, it's digging a long pit that I don't know how deep, but it's at least two zhang wide!

Just imagine, more than 100,000 people digging a pit together, how efficient it should be, just such a while, a long pit around Gaotang City has begun to take shape, and now if a big flood is poured into this pit, then a ready-made moat will be completed.

Seeing this, Xiao Chala's face changed again! He had already seen what the Heavenly Dao Army wanted to do, throughout the ages, digging long and deep pits in front of the position was a favorite thing for the defending side to do, in order to create obstacles to the enemy's advance, not only to slow down the enemy's march, but also to some extent to block the enemy's heavy equipment and horse army from approaching his side.

But if the attacking side also digs a hole, it means that they don't want to attack at all, but want to use this way to besiege the defending side more effectively!

Xiao Chara finally understood it all at once, no wonder the Heavenly Dao Army took great pains to use the fake grain depot to attract themselves to Gaotang City, it turned out that they wanted to trap themselves here completely, and now there is no food in the city, there is nothing to do, there are only hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting to eat, and after a few days, they don't have to do anything at all, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the city will all starve to death!

Thinking of this, Xiao Chala's face instantly became extremely pale, and a heartfelt fear filled his body!

"Please order the army to break out as soon as possible, we can't delay it any longer, once they really dig the horse rejection pit, we can't leave if we want to!" Jerodashi stepped forward and said urgently,

Xiao Cha Ra only reacted when he heard this, he glanced back at Yelu Dashi, and felt that he had mixed tastes in his heart, and it was extremely bitter, it turned out that he was wrong again, and it was also wrong to not listen to Yelu Dashi's advice, if he really listened to Yelu Dashi's advice, how good it would have be.......

Although this Xiao Chala is a person who is very small and likes to fight for power, he is not a fool to be able to stay in Xijing in this position, in the face of life and death, he understands that no face and power are as important as life, and now the only hope is in front of this legendary Yelu Dashi ......!

"Lin Ya (note), old man...... Command my army out of the encirclement! Xiao Cha thought about it and said with a straight face, "When I return to Da Liao in the future, I will show all your merits to the Holy Lord!" "Let's say this now, when you get out of here alive, won't the future be all about your own mouth? Xiao Chara's heart was gloomy.

Yelu Dashi was stunned, of course he couldn't hear Xiao Chala's inner monologue, but even if he heard it, he wouldn't care, what he wanted now was this "full command", and everything else could be ignored for the time being!

"Thank you, sir!" Yelu Dashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only to feel that since he came to the Central Plains, the invisible shackles around his neck were suddenly gone, although the situation in front of him was urgent and dangerous, but as long as he could command the army freely, he still had confidence in breaking out of the encirclement.

"I'm going!" Yelu Dashi hugged his fist at Xiao Chala again and hurried down the tower,

Xiao Chara looked at his back, and secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that his choice this time was right.

So what are the facts?

It should be said that Xiao Chala's current practice of giving all the military power to Yelu Dashi is correct, and it only took less than a stick of incense for Yelu Dashi to re-stabilize the restless Liao army in the city after he grasped the military power, and soon formed several waves of breakthrough armies according to his deployment, so that the Liao army had the opportunity to fight another decisive battle with the Tiandao army outside the city.

But it's a pity that Xiao Chala's "correct" choice was made too late, Yelu Dashi is indeed a rare general, but he is only a person after all, he is not a god, even if he has three heads and six arms, he has missed the opportunity, and he is not the opponent of the Heavenly Dao Army that is more fully prepared, has higher morale, better equipment, and stronger combat effectiveness outside the city!

+++++++++++++++++++++

The battle soon began, Xiao Chala watched nervously from the city tower as the first wave of the Liao army's attack, and a horse army under the command of Yelu Dashi launched an attack on the position of the Tiandao army.

With the sound of an urgent and coherent warning, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who were struggling to dig the pit suddenly retreated into the Tiandao army like the tide of the ebb tide, and even the carts and tools for digging the pit were gone, and as soon as they retreated, the Tiandao army immediately launched an attack, the Tiandao army in front of them used ordinary bows and arrows such as black lacquer bows and white lacquer bows, and the Tiandao army in the back used long-range bows and arrows such as the Divine Arm Bow and the Soul Breaking Crossbow, and shot at the Liao army with a burst of fierce shots!

Just imagine, more than 100,000 people shot arrows at the enemy together, what a terrifying attack, the Liao army that rushed to the front suffered extremely heavy casualties, and less than thirty percent rushed to the front of the Tiandao army, and although those pits have not been dug well, they have begun to take shape, and the mounts cannot jump over at all, and the rest of the people have become live targets in front of the pits, and they will be eliminated in a short time.

The second round of attacks began immediately, the infantry of the Liao army formed a phalanx, relying on their shields to resist the attack of the arrows and advancing to the position of the Tiandao army, this trick really worked, the arrows like raindrops could no longer shoot anyone, they were getting closer and closer to the Tiandao army, and the Liao soldiers behind the shields all clenched the handle of their knives, and when they were ready to reach the big pit, they dispersed together to kill the enemy.

But the Heavenly Dao Army had already been prepared, only to see that the archers had stopped shooting, just when the Liao Army thought that the Heavenly Dao Army was going to start hand-to-hand combat with them, they only heard the sound of "Huhuhu" behind the Tiandao Army, and then saw the sparkling firearms fall into the battlefield like a huge hail, smashing into the Liao army's phalanx! Although most of the firearms were missed due to accuracy problems, and only fell on the side of the Liao military array, the number of firearms that could not stand was really too much, and there were still many firearms that accurately exploded in the air above the Liao army's heads, or fell on the shields of the Liao soldiers, or simply smashed into the gaps of adjacent shields and exploded successfully! What's even more terrifying is that most of these firearms are fire oil bombs, once they explode, the fire oil deflagrates, whether it is people, clothes or weapons, they are all burned, and the Liao soldiers in the explosion range instantly become fire people, screaming and rolling, and those who have not been burned can only dodge in a hurry, and suddenly, almost all the phalanxes are in chaos!

The archers of the Heavenly Dao Army were waiting for this opportunity, and they instantly relaunched their bow and arrow attacks without waiting for the order, and the arrows like raindrops were scattered on the battlefield again, and the Liao soldiers who had lost the protection of the shield phalanx fell to the ground one after another!

Under the double attack of fire oil bombs and arrow rain, the Liao infantry were terrified to the extreme, and everyone stopped advancing, turned around and fled in the direction of Gaotang.

Jerod's stone face was like a rock, and he seemed to be unmoved by everything in front of him, and he still kept ordering the army to continue the attack. The huge casualties were already expected by him, and this was unavoidable, and now that the Liao army had reached the edge of the cliff, it would either continue to advance, perhaps with a glimmer of life, or stop and wait for death!

Next, the third round ......, the fourth round ......, and the fifth round ......, all the attacks were scattered and repelled under the counterattack of the Heavenly Dao Army, but every time they charged, they could always get closer to the position of the Heavenly Dao Army.

And just when Yelu Dashi was about to give the order to launch the final round of decisive charge, he didn't expect an unexpected and terrifying scene to suddenly happen!

I only heard the earth-shattering cry suddenly sounded from the sky, and I saw black dust rising in the distance, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly.

Yelu Dashi stared at the sky with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief!

It turned out that a large army rushed from the sky, it was a black army, and it was actually the reinforcements of the Heavenly Dao Army that had arrived! The rolling black dust is faintly visible, and there are hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention!

Coupled with these hundreds of thousands of people on the battlefield now, the Heavenly Dao Army has already occupied an overwhelming absolute advantage!

"How...... How come there are so many Heavenly Dao troops?! Xiao Cha was shocked, the reason why he dared to drill into Gaotang City without fear was also because the main force of the Liao army was still there, just imagine, if you want to surround the 300,000 Liao army, then at least 780,000 people must be able to do it, and now the Song army and the Tiandao army on this battlefield combined are only this number, if they dare to besiege themselves, how can they deal with the Xia army again? But the scene in front of him subverted his thoughts, and the army of the Heavenly Dao Army outside the city, which was black and oppressive and stretched on the same side of the sky, clearly showed that this was an army of at least seven or eight hundred thousand people! It's just the right time to surround yourself with an overwhelming advantage! But he couldn't figure it out, where did he get so many Heavenly Dao troops?

Yelu Dashi took a step forward, looked outside with worried eyes, and said, "Then Zheng Linfeng should have mobilized all his troops in the south, and all of them are concentrated here, presumably at this moment...... All the Song troops have also gathered in Bozhou City and surrounded Brother Cha! ”

Xiao Chala finally understood, he really wanted to slap himself in the face, but after thinking about it, he ignored that Song Guo and Zheng Linfeng were originally in the same group, so their confrontation in the south was naturally fake, and Zheng Linfeng secretly transferred all his troops in the south!

Xiao Chara was dumbfounded and desperate from the city tower, the Heavenly Dao Army was so powerful when there were no reinforcements, and now there are so many reinforcements, how can the Liao Army have any chance?!

Yelu Dashi also looked at everything that happened in shock, seeing that the morale that the Liao army had finally accumulated was beaten down again, and the Tiandao army occupied many advantages in numbers, weapons, terrain and so on, and the Liao army could only increase casualties if they launched an attack again, so he had no choice but to stop the attack, ready to wait for night to fall and then find a way to break through.

As soon as the Tiandao army saw that the Liao army had returned to the city, a trumpet sounded, and the hundreds of thousands of people who were still hiding behind immediately passed through the army like a rising tide and came to the front of the formation to pick up tools again and dig a pit.

And in the middle army of the Heavenly Dao Army, Zheng Fei and the generals laughed proudly,

Pang Wanchun smiled at Wu Yong and said, "Brother Wu is really a good strategy, if you let the Liao army know that only the first hundred thousand people in our hundreds of thousands of troops are troops, and the vast majority of the people in the back and the newly arrived army are ordinary people wearing clothes and pretending, and they don't even have weapons, they are only afraid that they will vomit blood in anger!" ”

That's right, most of the hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Dao troops surrounding Gao Tang now are composed of ordinary people, and if the military uniforms are not enough, some are simply wearing black civilian clothes, which are all black anyway, so that they are mixed with the Heavenly Dao Army, and if you don't look closely, you can't see the difference at all.

Wu Yong smiled and hugged his fist at Zheng Fei, "Commander, can you make the next plan?" ”

Zheng Fei smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, let the people help us dig the pit first, and then starve the Liao army for a few days, and when they are hungry and crazy, let's take action!" ”

After that, Zheng Fei turned his head to look south, and at this moment, in Bozhou, hundreds of miles away, the same scene was also being staged.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Lin Ya: The pronunciation of Hanlin in Liao language is Lin Ya, Yelu Dashi was the first in the high school palace examination, and was awarded Hanlin, and the world called it Lin Ya Dashi, which is an honorific title. Xiao Cha is called so because of intimacy.
