Although the square in the city is 100 steps wide in length and width, in order for the arrows to quickly and quickly kill the cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty who rushed in, this circle of fortifications was built on a fan-shaped position with a radius of 40 steps with the city gate hole as the origin. When the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty rushed out of the city gate hole, the archers in a fan-shaped arrangement could shoot all the arrows at the entrance of the city gate without interfering with each other. Get the most out of your firepower.

However, they simply didn't think about it, or didn't have time to think about it. Especially when someone on the other side rushes to a certain position, the archers from other directions can no longer provide bow and arrow support, and they don't seem to make a judgment at all.

When He Chuanzong and a dozen cavalry of the Guards Battalion rushed to the fortifications on the north side, the archers in other positions who were fanned at the beginning could also shoot arrows at them from the flanks. But they soon discovered that when the opponent rushed fifteen feet deep, they could no longer shoot arrows at their side. Because they saw their own people behind the fortifications on the opposite side. The longbow of the Liao people is not like the crossbow of the Great Zhou, and the range of the longbow is not easy to control, even if it is a flat shot, it cannot control the distance. Once it misses, it will all be beckoned to his own person.

And this is the disadvantage of a fan-shaped encirclement, and the bow and arrow blocking circle that is only a hundred steps away from each other. He Chuanzong judged their shortcomings in a very short period of time, so he rushed straight to the north. After rushing to a distance of fifteen zhang, what they had to face was actually the head-on and small-angle arrows on both sides, and the archers on both sides did not dare to shoot arrows at all, and all of them were dumb. All they could do was to choose to ignore the danger around them and continue to shoot arrows in the direction of the city gate to snipe the follow-up Great Zhou soldiers and horses.

Many people thought to themselves, what would these dozen or so people do even if they rushed to the front of the fortifications? The archers of the Liao army are not archers in the true sense of the word, they are actually good at hand-to-hand combat, and bows and arrows are just a necessary skill for all Liao soldiers. Every soldier of the Liao army is actually an archer. These dozen or so people rushed up to die.

However, they underestimated each other's force.

The distance of thirty or forty steps was only ten breaths for He Chuanzong and the others, who were charging with all their might, and they could be reached in less than ten breaths. Without the attack of bows and arrows from the flanks and rear, the standing formation of more than a dozen people with high martial skills was even more indomitable, and the random arrows in front of the flanks could not shoot them all at all. While the two soldiers screamed and fell down amid the arrows, He Chuanzong, who was at the forefront, also swept the spear in his hand on the helmet of a Liao soldier behind the fortifications. With a bang, the Liao soldier's helmet shattered, his brain burst out, and the whole person fell to the ground like a broken bag. He Chuanzong didn't look at him, he shouted, the spear in his hand danced wildly, and the killing general opened and closed. More than a dozen men in the rear also arrived at the same time, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew sideways, blood splashed, and the two sides fought together.

Yang Jun's cultivation of them over the years came in handy at this moment. Although the number of He Chuanzong and others is small, at this moment, they are like tigers entering the flock, and the Liao soldiers who killed them are crying for their fathers and mothers. In just a few breaths, more than a dozen Liao soldiers facing the enemy were dead on the spot. The Liao soldiers were not good at fighting head-on, especially these full-time archers in front of them, not to mention the opponents of these fierce guards cavalry battalions, He Chuanzong and more than a dozen Great Zhou soldiers stirred up the chaos in a large area, and the surrounding Liao soldiers had to stop firing arrows, draw out their blades to surround them, and try to kill He Chuanzong and others

This.

At the entrance of the city gate in the rear, the cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty rushed out of the black and scorching city gate without fear of death. Although the arrows of the Liao army were still fierce, there was a small gap in the dense rain of arrows in the chaotic situation in the north. Several horsemen rushed out side by side, and while the soldiers and horses on the left and right sides were shot, the cavalry in the middle rushed forward more than a dozen feet under the protection of their brothers' meat shields, which was enough for them to get rid of the dense accumulation of arrows. In less than a moment, more than 100 cavalrymen broke through the rain of arrows and rushed to He Chuanzong and the others to join the fight. The tearing hole is getting bigger and bigger, and the arc-shaped fortifications of fifty paces due north have become a battlefield of hand-to-hand combat, and the sniper formation of the archers of the entire Liao army has broken through to thirty percent.

In the face of this, the authorities have already announced that the attempt of the Liao archers to suppress all the opposing cavalry at the entrance of the city gate and shoot them has failed. But they were still insisting, and the bows and arrows on both sides were still shooting towards the entrance of the city gate, but they could no longer stop the steady stream of Great Zhou cavalry rushing out. Half an hour after the attack, Yang Jun's 3,000 cavalry battalion successfully rushed into the city after paying the price of nearly fifty percent of the casualties. The Liao army's bow and arrow ambush circle began to crumble, and more than a thousand cavalry were enough to overwhelm them all, so that they could no longer shoot an arrow at the entrance of the city gate.

Han Desui who was standing on the city wall saw this scene, the muscles on his face twitched, and he knew what it meant that the city gate was broken. But he had no intention of giving up. Xijin Mansion can't be lost, it must not be lost, even if it is a battle to the death. If you lose Xijin Mansion, Daliao will be finished.

"You are nailed here, the old man went to fight in the city, they wanted to take away my Xijin Mansion like this, but they didn't want to." Han De then issued an order in a deep voice and asked several generals to defend the city wall. Although it seemed that it was meaningless to hold the city wall at this moment, Han Desui knew that once the city wall was completely broken, the opponent's soldiers and horses would rush into the city in the form of a tide. And as long as the city gate is not lost, he may still block the open city gate and block the other party's passage into the city.

Han De quickly went down to the city, and on the long street near the city gate, the 10,000 cavalry that had been prepared in advance had already fought with the Great Zhou cavalry. Han De then arrived as soon as he rode and gave the order for all the cavalry to rush to the city gate square. Han Desui knew very well that it was unwise to entangle with these two thousand Great Zhou cavalry at this moment, the other party's soldiers and horses were rapidly pouring in from the city gate hole, and the top priority was to regain control of the city gate. As for the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty who rushed in, when the city gate was regained control, they also became turtles in the urn.

Han Desui deserved to be a veteran of a hundred battles, and he immediately grasped the crux of the problem. Under his leadership, 8,000 cavalry rushed out of the east side of the street and rushed towards the square. On the square, a steady stream of Great Zhou cavalry was frantically pouring into the city through the city gate and tunnels. But after all, the gate hole of the city is narrow, and no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they can pass by four or five horsemen side by side. So far, there are only more than 4,000 Great Zhou cavalry who have rushed into the city. Han De then led 8,000 cavalry to rush in the spurt, and the two sides fought together. The small squares and streets were instantly crowded with 10,000 or 20,000 horses, and the hand-to-hand combat in the small space was particularly cruel and bloody. In the dim light, it was even difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and everywhere there were clashing blades, shouting and fighting, and it was impossible to tell what the battle was like.

Han De then wanted this effect, all the soldiers and horses

Congestion in the square, the opponent's soldiers and horses will not be able to rush into the city quickly, because the square is already congested, and the soldiers and horses cannot quickly pass through the city gate, and congestion will occur. Just as Han Desui expected, at this moment, a large number of Great Zhou soldiers and horses could no longer continue to charge into the city, and hundreds of soldiers in the city gate cave were blocked inside, and the scorching heat and suffocation were unbearable. People and war horses don't survive for a while in such an environment, and something will happen.

"Order He Chuanzong to take back control of the square and clear the passage." Seeing this, Yang Jun shouted an order.

"Marshal Yang, the time has come. Please, marshal, give the order to the whole army to attack the city. That's the real time to attack. Ma Qingshan arched his hand beside him.

Yang Jun was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Ma Qingshan said: "It's time to capture the city wall." The Liao people did not have many soldiers and horses, and now they have dispatched at least 20,000 people to defend in the city. The walls must be breached in order to take the city. Relying on the battle for the city gate, I am afraid that I don't know when the tug of war will last. Once the city wall is completely broken, there is no more thought about convenience. This is the true intention of lowly office. ”

Yang Jun looked at Ma Qingshan blankly and said: "Originally, the old man thought that the city wall was a feint, and the real purpose of attacking the city gate was to attack the city. But I didn't expect that you actually regarded the capture of the city gate as a feint, and attacking the city wall is your ultimate goal. Amazing, amazing, even Ben Shuai has been deceived. If you take Xijin Mansion in this battle, you Ma Qingshan will become famous in the world. ”

Ma Qingshan bowed down and said: "I don't dare to be lowly, I just want to live up to the marshal's trust and take this city." ”

Yang Jun nodded, and ordered loudly: "Beat the drum and blow the trumpet, and all the combat soldiers and horses will storm the city wall, regardless of the cost." ”

The virtual is real, and the real is virtual. Who would have thought that Ma Qingshan's move to take the city gate for a whole day turned out to be a false move. Yang Jun's personal guard battalion and a large number of Great Zhou cavalry were actually cannon fodder in his eyes! Ma Qingshan's courage and courage are so strong that even Yang Jun has to look at him differently. The rest of the generals were even more stunned and speechless, and they didn't know what to feel in their hearts.

Originally, 40,000 feints were dispatched to attack the city, and there were more than 80,000 Great Zhou infantry in the rear. At this moment, the military ordered, and 80,000 infantry began a fierce attack. The siege war escalated instantly, inside and outside the city gate, up and down the city wall, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses fought bloody battles in different locations, the scene was spectacular, and the cruelty of the battle was beyond words.

On the square inside the city gate, He Chuanzong and other thousands of cavalry have been killed and wounded, and the Great Zhou cavalry who rushed out of the city gate hole is almost equivalent to being sent to death. Because after they rushed out, they were faced with the encirclement of the Liao cavalry, and they fell into a desperate situation of being surrounded and killed. And He Chuanzong and others rushed desperately in the periphery, but to no avail, they couldn't rush into the inner circle. The old and spicy Han De insisted on holding them on the periphery, ensuring that the number of Great Zhou cavalry rushing out of the city gate could not be formed, so he killed them. At the same time, the peripheral soldiers and horses continued to encroach on He Chuanzong's soldiers and horses, making his soldiers and horses fewer and fewer. When it was reduced to a certain extent, Han De would not hesitate to order them to be killed in one fell swoop and completely eliminate the Great Zhou soldiers and horses in the city.

As time went on, things were developing in the direction that Han Desui had envisioned. But at this moment, there was chaos on the west city wall, and a large number of Great Zhou soldiers and horses rushed up the city wall, and they were swarming towards the city walls on both sides. The walls were breached at this time.
