As a child of a Han bureaucratic family in Youzhou, Han Kuangsi was forced by Han Zhigu since he was a child and received a Confucian education for a long time.

Unlike Han Kuangsi, the second ancestor, Han Zhigu has been on the battlefield more than once, so under the teaching of words and deeds, Han Kuangsi learned the poisonous trick of defending the city, oil attack.

There is no fierce fire oil in Youzhou, but there is lamp oil squeezed out of plants, before Han Kuangsi went to the city, he ordered people to set up dozens of huge oil pots on all sides of the city.

Han Kuangsi was extremely shrewd in his calculations, and when Zhou Jun set up a ladder and began to climb the city, he ordered someone to scoop up the lamp oil and splash it on his head and face.

Hehe, although it is impossible for the Zhou army to be burned to death by the fire oil, Han Kuangsi has every reason to believe that seeing the robes screaming in the sea of fire, the morale of the Zhou army must be greatly reduced.

In this way, Yelu Xian, who was ambushed outside the city, had a chance to break the attack of the Zhou army from behind.

For safety reasons, Han Kuangsi specially ordered someone to hold a big shield to protect the oil pot from being ignited by the enemy's rockets, which would be terrible.

Who would have thought that if the plan did not change quickly, the old revolution would always encounter a new situation. The Zhou army under the command of Li Zhongyi, who did not follow the common sense siege skills, completely broke Han Kuangsi's wishful thinking.

Li Zhongyi put down the monocular in his hand and couldn't help but show a smile, what is called cocooning and self-restraint? What do you mean by lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot?

The Khitans are not good at defending the city, but the Han family in Youzhou is famous, but Li Zhongyi has to guard against it.

In this era of cold weapons, limited to the lack of siege means, the besieging side does not have too many timely and effective siege methods except for earth attack, flooding, ladders and towers.

Relatively. The defenders of the city took advantage of the condescending geographical advantage.

Li Zhongyi before heading north. Instead, he brought fierce fire oil and black *fire* medicine, just. Limited to a small number of factors, it must be used sparingly, and good steel can only be used on the blade.

In view of the low characteristics of the city wall of Runzhou, Li Zhongyi's siege plan also became much simpler, first using the powerful and long-range Divine Arm Bow and Divine Arm Crossbow to suppress the bow and arrow counterattack on the city.

Then, he set up a human ladder and let the vanguard Yongrui battalion climb the wall and seize the city.

Now, the oil pot on Runzhou City has been ignited. The fire on the city wall was soaring, and the Khitan defenders themselves were burned to the point that they were crying wolves, so they were not miserable, which happened to fall into Li Zhongyi's arms.

Liao Shanhe seized the opportunity of the chaos of the Khitans, and decisively ordered the Yongrui battalion to be the vanguard, and the whole army pressed up.

Unlike any army of this era, the Yulin Right Guard participated in siege warfare and did not need to improvise the construction of ladders.

The short iron ladder they carried with them. After a simple bundle, there is a sturdy long ladder.

Don't underestimate this small change, in the era of cold weapons, the iron ladder that can be moved flexibly. In fact, it has brought a new revolution in siege warfare.

Limited by the excessive length and size of large siege equipment such as ladders, and the insufficient capacity of transportation vehicles, siege warfare in this era. It's so slow, it's outrageous!

Just the amount of logging work. It is not small, and it also requires carpenters to process the wood into ladders. When the equipment is ready, it will take more than seven days to do anything.

After the attacker's large-scale siege equipment was ready, the strong men forcibly recruited by the defender of the city also passed at least one round of training.

This invisibly increases the difficulty of the besieging side and improves the defensive strength of the defender.

However, the officers and men of the Yulin Right Guard, without exception, were completely freed from the shackles of night blindness. This meant that, even in the faint light of night, they could still reach the city walls and quickly climb up the city using simple iron ladders.

In this way, the efficiency of the siege has been greatly improved.

Han Kuangsi's tooth general, Han Eighteen, was horrified to find that the Zhou army of the brigade was swarming over, obviously trying to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Due to the overturning of the oil pot, the city has fallen into a sea of fire, and the strong men who have been forcibly captured are like headless flies, scurrying around.

What's more, what's even worse is that the Khitan cavalry, who originally served as the supervising team, were also rushed to pieces, and the formation was all scattered.

"Master, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late......" Han Shibai is the servant of the Han family, and he has been loyally guarding Han Kuangsi's side for more than 20 years, and he is so anxious that he stomps his feet.

Han Kuangsi sighed heavily, and said with bitterness: "That princess in the city hasn't left yet, if I leave now, the entire Han family will be finished." ”

Han Shibai was an understanding person, he leaned into Han Kuangsi's ear, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Master, we can take the princess with us." ”

Han Kuangsi's eyes couldn't help but light up, the contractor was good at riding and shooting, and he was not good at defending the city, so there was no strict military order to lose the city and kill his head. All he feared was the safety of Jeruvan.

As long as he took Yelu out of the city with him and escaped from the pursuit of the Zhou army, he Han Kuangsi was likely not only innocent, but meritorious.

After all, the Zhou army even took the heavily guarded Yuguan, not to mention Runzhou, which was short and outnumbered?

"You go to tell Sù Yelu Bottle, Runzhou is about to be lost, let her hurry up and prepare the horse, and I will protect her to fight her way out together." After Han Kuangsi found his life, he made the wisest choice without hesitation.

"Master, won't you come with me?" Han Shiba's heart was in a hurry, and he didn't think much about it, and suddenly grabbed Han Kuangsi's robe sleeve.

Han Kuangsi's heart was very moved, and he said quietly: "I'll leave now, I'm afraid that before we get out of the city, the Zhou army will come in." ”

What Han Kuangsi never expected was that Han Shibai hesitated for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Don't you take the master down to the city?" ”

A few henchmen and tooth soldiers, this suddenly realized, they dragged Han Kuangsi off the city wall.

Just when Han Kuangsi was held hostage by the tooth soldiers and helped him onto his horse, he suddenly heard a sharp roar, "Master, take care of yourself, eighteen years later, the old slave will still serve you." ”

Han Kuangsi closed his eyes, and surrounded him by his henchmen and soldiers, and fled towards the east gate.

In fact, everyone around him, including Han Kuangsi, knew very well in their hearts that this was probably Han Eighteen's last words.

Alas, loyalty and righteousness slaughter more dogs!

Han Kuangsi had just arrived at the door of the princess's mansion, when he suddenly heard the cheers of the Han people from the side of Xicheng, "The city is broken, kill it......"

"Alas, Han Eighteen ......" Han Kuangsi didn't have time to think about it, and shouted loudly while rushing into the princess's mansion on horseback, "Princess, princess, where are you?" ”

At this time, above the city, Li Yunxiao pulled out a long knife flashing with demonic blood light from between Han Shiba's chest and abdomen, and ordered loudly: "Raise the jack gate and open the city gate." (To be continued......)
