The Western Liao soldiers who attacked like a tide rushed forward without fear of life and death, because they knew that after entering the city, they could wantonly plunder for two days, and the money and the high prices in front of the beauties were their own, as long as they grabbed it, it would be counted. Obviously, whoever charges at the front will be stained.

Dense flying arrows flew overwhelmingly towards the city, and the Western Xia soldiers defending the city held shields to defend, although so, the arrows were too dense, and soldiers were constantly hit by arrows.

Intensive bow and arrow suppression is the magic weapon of siege warfare, if you want to suppress the receiving army defending the city, the attacking side must have more soldiers than the defending city, which is why there is a siege of the city is twice as large as the defense of the city.

This time, the Western Liao is 60,000 troops, and the defenders of the city are 20,000, which is equivalent to three times, so it is only a matter of time before the city is broken, and the first round of attack will be pressed to 30,000, which is the Juexin of winning the siege.

The cavalry of the Western Liao cavalry was round after round, and soon suppressed the head of the city, and the 20,000 infantry soon reached a distance of 100 steps from the head of the city, and then began to shoot arrows at the head of the city.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Western Xia soldiers could not fight back, the nest car, the Linchong Lu bus, the arrow tower car, and the cloud ladder opened Su Di and moved closer to the city. The battering ram had reached the city and began to pound heavily on the gates.

The cloud ladder was erected on the head of the city, and the Western Liao soldiers began to rush to the head of the city and fought with the Western Xia soldiers defending the city.

At this time, the 30,000 Western Xia troops behind also pressed up, looking at the dense Western Liao army, Tuoba Jueci's psychological defense line finally collapsed, and this guy led the army to break through.

Just as the Western Xia army rushed out, the city gate was also broken by a battering ram, and the Western Liao cavalry poured into the city like a tide. Slaughtering the city, 3,000 soldiers stayed behind to slaughter the city, and the rest of the army covered the past.

The Western Liao army was to follow behind Tuoba and prepare for the attack on the next city.

The frightened Tuoba Clan ran forward lifelessly, this guy knew that the Western Liao Army was too strong, and even if he fled to an ordinary small city, he would still be hunted down, so he ran directly towards the right wing towards the military division, where there were 50,000 Tuoba warriors, but it was Tuoba's eldest brother Tuoba Jueqi who guarded the town, and only by escaping could it be considered safe.

This escape of hundreds of miles, and only Tuoba Gaz would make such a stupid choice, but there is an advantage, as long as there are tribes along the way, they can be reinforced. However, this brainless guy ignored a question, why didn't the Western Liao army eat some of themselves in one go, but followed behind?

Jereil did not cover up along the way, but after receiving supplies, he followed behind Tuoba Decs, knowing that this coward would definitely go to a relatively large military city, which meant that he would face a fierce battle.

Whether it is a vicious battle, only by defeating the Western Xia army can the deterrent effect be realized. At this time, Yelu Yilie gradually came to his senses, and no longer wanted to take the entire Western Xia, but only needed to occupy a foothold, wait for the reinforcements sent by his father to attack the Western Xia, and then attack the Western Xia, and destroy the Jin Kingdom.

If you choose to destroy one between the Jin Kingdom and the Han Kingdom, then Yelu Yilie's first choice is to destroy the Jin Kingdom. Of course, before destroying the Jin Kingdom, the Han Kingdom must be severely damaged, otherwise the Han army will still be in big trouble.

Yelu Yilie's understanding of the Han State is still one-sided, and he feels that it is similar to the Song army, and he does not have much combat effectiveness, otherwise he would not have stupidly attacked Western Xia. You must know that if the Han army is as powerful as the Western Liao army, Yelu Yilie will not only not attack the Western Xia, but will also join forces with the Han army against the Jin army. However, from the moment the Western Liao army attacked the Western Xia, the Western Liao army was the enemy of the Han army, and it was the kind of enemy that never stopped.

The dragon has reverse scales, and if it is reversed, it will die. There is no doubt that the Western Xia is the reverse scale of the Han king, only the Han army can occupy the Western Xia, and the other armies must be annihilated as long as they enter the Western Xia.

Just when the Western Liao army conquered the city of Wuthorn Haicheng, the Han army also launched a rapid attack on Yunzhou. Comparatively speaking, Yunzhou is a giant city that cannot be conquered, the city wall is more than five zhang high, and it is made of bluestone, there is a wide moat, dozens of catapults are built on each wall of the city head, and there are arrow towers at the four corners of the city wall, to look around, to block the enemy who attacks the city wall.

How to take Yunzhou City and how to take Yunzhou City is indeed a difficult problem in the eyes of the outside world, but when the Han army was stationed in Yunzhou, a secret chess game had already been laid.

At the beginning, Yunzhou was in the hands of the Han army for a while, but it was later taken over by the Western Army and finally fell into the hands of the Western Liao Army. When he was in the hands of the Han army, he already knew that there would be a day when he would attack Yunzhou, and he had already made arrangements. But despite the deployment, it's still a tough battle.

After all, when he reaches a certain age, he has no special mission, and he will basically stay in Jingzhao Mansion and serve as a privy envoy, and the matter of going out will still be handed over to the young people.

Mobilization meeting for siege warfare. Zhe Yanhu, Zhang Xian, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Pan Youbao. All five army commanders participated, and there was no need to mobilize, knowing that it was a tough battle.

Zhe Keqiu said: "The moat of Yunzhou is as wide as three zhang, bottomless, and it is the river water that is attracted inside, and the turbulent water determines that it is a big problem to cross the moat. It is destined to be an uphill battle, and the casualties will be very large. However, as long as we can cross the moat, we have a way to break through Yunzhou City. ”

The commanders didn't speak, they didn't know that there was a secret chess in Yunzhou City, but everyone knew that since there was a way to break the city, there must be a way.

He continued: "The key to this battle is whether the soldiers can pass the moat naturally, and it is necessary to suppress the projectors and crossbow arrows at the head of the city. Cover the construction of the moat, now our moat is only two zhang long, which is far from enough, can not cross the moat, so built overnight, we must ensure that our moat bridge is more than three feet five feet long, or even four zhang. We need two hundred moats, thirty on the east, west, and north, and the remaining one hundred and ten on the south, for our main direction is the south gate. ”

When it came to the siege, the generals were excited, especially Lin Chong, who had not participated in the battle for a long time and attached great importance to this battle. In fact, Lin Chong is capable, and his individual combat ability is very strong. However, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it is in vain if it is not reused.

Lin Chong knew why King Han didn't reuse himself, but he didn't want to explain anything, he just wanted to prove himself on the battlefield.

He didn't have the heart to guess what Lin Chong was thinking, he said: "Within two days, the trench bridge must be formed and modified, and the city will be officially attacked in three days, and the 50,000 infantry in this battle will be handed over to the command, and all of them will be under the command of your five cavalry commanders, which is why the infantry commanders were not allowed to participate in the meeting." However, the command belongs to you, in fact, the infantry is the core of the siege, and this military exploit is theirs, so understand? ”

"Understood." For the commanders, no matter who the military merits belong to, as long as they win Yunzhou, then they will write a glorious stroke in their military career.

"Lin Chong, you lead the men and horses of the headquarters, plus 10,000 infantry to attack the east gate, Zhe Yanhu, you are in charge of the west gate, Zhang Xian, you are in charge of the north gate, and Pan Youhu is in charge of the south gate. Now, I can tell you that there are hundreds of catties of explosives buried under the south gate, as long as it is lit, it will definitely be able to blow up the south gate, and then cover up the past, this time, the lord's request is not to let go of one. There is a Western Liao army breaking through over there, and the commander over there will go to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for the guilt, as for how big the crime is, you should know better than me. ”

"Never let one go."

"Very good, Lu Junyi, you lead an army of 20,000 to take care of it and ensure that no Western Liao army breaks out." This time, the commander of the infantry was asked to hand over the command, that is, to study the coordination of infantry and cavalry in siege warfare. Of course, it also takes a lot of courage to do this, after all, these infantry commanders will not be convinced, and they need him to convince them one by one.

The renovation of the trench bridge was originally a very difficult thing, but before the expedition, the Han army was fully prepared, brought enough raw materials, and sufficient craftsmen, which were craftsmen trained by the Han King with heavy money, these craftsmen were all based on the Jiupin civil official standard, and there were considerable bonuses, of course, the Han King did not raise idlers, waste, and those who could stay in the Han army were first-class craftsmen. These craftsmen would accompany the army according to the needs of the war.

The craftsmen started to get busy after receiving the task, which was a difficult task, and the craftsmen worked overnight to definitely complete the task.

Zhe Keqiu was busy communicating with the commanders of the infantry, and the commanders of the cavalry began to deduce the routine of the attack, which did not include Lin Chong, in this battle, Lin Chong's idea was different, he wanted to be the first to conquer the city gate, and he wanted to be the first to enter the city.

Obviously, it is very difficult to enter the city from the top of the city, and there are many casualties, and it is also very time-consuming, and it will not be faster than the south gate. But it seems a bit unrealistic to want to be faster than the south gate, unless there is a miracle.

Miracles, the battlefield relies on strength, where are there so many miracles?

If there are no miracles, miracles must be created. Lin Chong began to ride a horse around Yunzhou to find his own miracle that day, Yunzhou City is too big, it takes an hour to go around, and after four consecutive circles, the miracle finally appeared.

Originally, this Yunzhou city did not want other cities to be square on all sides, with city corners on all sides, but on three sides, there were city corners on three sides, only the southeast city corner was circular, this time, the open space outside the southeast city corner was relatively large, enough to place trebuchets, but because of the trebuchet placed here, there was no arrow tower on the head of the city, and there were still trebuchets. This kind of trebuchet on the city and under the city weaves a long-range defense, and the long-range defense here is the most powerful.

Strengths and weaknesses tend to translate into each other. A strong long-range defense is destined to be the weakest in the short-range defense, as long as it hits the southeast corner, then there is a possibility of breaking the city.

As long as it is attacked under the southeast corner of the city, then you can use the trebuchet of Xiliao to throw the earth-shaking thunder to the city, just imagine what kind of scene it is to throw countless earth-shaking thunder to the city. As long as the gap is opened, then the soldiers will kill the city, and from the city to the city, open the city gates, and all this will fall into place.

Theory is theory, in fact, it has to be scrutinized repeatedly, and when it was determined that the plan was foolproof, Lin Chong secretly asked for a meeting.

He was impressed by Lin Chong's bold idea, and finally he made a decision: "Let Lu Junyi's 10,000 infantry also be handed over to you for command, and in addition, all the fire oil and earth-shaking thunder in the army will be handed over to you for allocation." I hope you can be the first to attack the city, there is a woman named Yelupu Suwan in the city who is the princess of Xiliao, and she needs to be captured alive and sent to Jingzhao Mansion, and the others are not left behind. The meaning of the Han King is very clear, that is, no Western Liao soldiers are allowed to appear in the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Yes."

Lin Chong went down and prepared.

This battle was the first time that the Han army attacked such a high city, and it was very meaningful for future battles, and the commanders of the five cavalry were fully prepared, and they could only ask for an order from the marshal to attack the whole army.

The five infantry commanders are Cao Meng of the Cao family, a twenty-four or five-year-old young man who finally came out, which is also related to his infinite strength and bravery. Gao Favor, the first gun of the Han Kingdom, Gao Favor was expected to be the commander of the army, and the reason why he was not allowed to lead the cavalry was because he was afraid that the young man would be impulsive and fall for the enemy's tricks, after all, the generals of the Jin Kingdom were all resourceful, and that was not something that a young man could deal with. Yang Zaixing, shouldering the hope of the revival of the Yang family, led the infantry of the Yang family, which is the capital of the revival of the old Yang family, and it is also the strongest team in the Han army. Whether the Yang family can rise again depends on how far Yang Zaixing can lead this infantry to go. Pan Yu, finally came out, but this guy in his early twenties is in charge of an army of tens of thousands of people, not only because he is the brother-in-law of the King of Han, but the most important thing is that after a series of exercises, he has grown up, and he is the leader of the younger generation of the Pan family.

Shi Jin is a person who doesn't talk much, although he was born in the Shi family, he is also the strongest combat effectiveness of the younger generation, and he is not up or down compared with Gao Pet, but after all, he is a concubine, and he is destined to be much more low-key. He needs to make a meritorious career and prove that he is the best disciple of the Shi family, and this battle is an opportunity to make a name for himself.

Shi Jin, his success depends on military merit, there is no doubt that this time is the most suitable, proving that strength comes from ability, not blood

Although the cavalry commanded the infantry to fight, it was only a large-scale transfer, the command of the line, and the specific operation, and the infantry still had to rely on the command of the infantry commander.
