The Liao army rushed in like a tide, instantly covering the battlefield under the city. As far as the eye can see, the ground is full of ant-like soldiers, who seem to be unruly, but they are not.

The Liao army was fully prepared for the siege operation, and the configuration of the siege soldiers and horses also imitated the configuration of the Great Zhou soldiers and horses to attack the city. Basically, there were two ladders for every 100 soldiers, and 50 shield-wielding infantry, and they had the most neat armor. Because these thirty soldiers were to climb the ladder to attack the city, they were equipped with an oak round shield on their arms, and they were equipped with a full set of armor. The rest consisted of thirty two-handed shield men and twenty escalators. Thirty soldiers with two-handed shields were responsible for the safety of twenty escalators. The so-called escalator is the soldier who is responsible for erecting the ladder during the siege of the city and resisting the escalator to prevent the defenders of the city from overturning the escalator. When necessary, they also served as substitutes for the main attacking soldiers, becoming part of the siege.

From this small configuration, it can be seen that Yelu Zongyuan wants to win this battle.

There were 1,200 such teams of 100, a total of 120,000 people. In addition, 36 teams of 1,000 men were responsible for following 46 straggles to attack the city. These 46,000 men were equipped with the finest armor and the sharpest standard scimitars, and they were the most elite main force in this siege. They were responsible for opening the gap at the head of the city and gaining a foothold, and as long as they held on for a moment, the rest of the siege soldiers and horses would continue to ascend the city.

In addition to this, there were fifteen teams of rushing carts, each consisting of three hundred strong men. Their task was to bombard the city gates on the northwest, northwest, and south sides. Each gate will have five chariots and fifteen hundred strong men to attack. In addition to manipulating a 1,000-pound hammer to hit the city gate, 1,000 of them also carried long iron drills and sledgehammers to forcefully break down both sides of the city gate. Once the gate is sealed or blocked by iron bolts, the wall on the outside of the gate shaft is opened by demolition and the obstacles inside are removed.

In short, the Liao army learned various siege methods of the Great Zhou during the period before the war, and even created some siege strategies by itself. Full preparations were made for the siege. If it weren't for the fact that the moat of Liaoyang City was too deep, making it difficult for them to carry out their plan to dig tunnels and enter the city, they would have had one more means of attacking the city.

The tide of soldiers and horses rushed in, and the Jurchen archers at the head of the city fired thousands of arrows and began to shoot at the approaching place. The dense rain of arrows caused great damage to the Liao army, and all the bed crossbows and three-bow bed crossbows also aimed at the soldiers and horses under the city, because this was the last chance to shoot the opponent's living force without paying too much price. It is also the time when the bow and the bed crossbow finally exert their power. When the opponent rushes to the bottom of the city, there is no chance to make them useful, because the siege is a hand-to-hand combat.

Eighty paces away, the chariot finally began to move slowly forward under the pull of dozens of war horses. The huge ship slowly rolled on the ground, making a piercing creaking sound, and the tall cloud chariot swayed, like a giant slowly moving forward, leaving several deep ruts on the ground behind it. The thousand-man team followed closely behind the side of the cloud car, dodging the dense rain of arrows from the city. The horses pulling the cart in front of them died one after another, and every dozen steps forward, they were killed by the bows and arrows of the city head first. Because of course, the Jurchens at the head of the city also knew that once these behemoths arrived under the city, it would be a nightmare for the defenders.

But they soon had no time to care about the approaching of these chariots, because a large number of siege soldiers were already there

Rushed from pontoons and embankments to the bottom of the city. The space less than thirty paces between the empty moat and the city wall was filled with countless Liao soldiers almost in the blink of an eye. More than 2,000 ladders began to rise in the air, as if suddenly a forest had grown beside the city walls. These ladders made of logs are extremely heavy, and they are three or four feet high, and it is not easy to erect them, but once they are built on the city wall, they are also difficult to push away or cut down. It is difficult for its own weight alone to be pushed away by the fork specially used to push the ladder away, not to mention that the snowy iron hook at the top of the ladder will sneak into the edge of the city wall to grasp it, and there are dozens of soldiers below who use ropes to tie the upper end of the ladder and hold it tightly below to ensure the stability of the ladder.

On the top of the city, rolling wood and stones rained down, and the Jurchens piled up the materials for defending the city on the platform widened behind the side of the city wall, which came in handy at this moment. Heavy rolling wood and stones are smashed down from a height of several zhang, and who can withstand the people below? Even if there is a large shield on the top of the head, it can only defend the head of the city with arrows and light stones. When the rocks fell, even if the shield was not smashed open, the soldiers below would be smashed and climbed down.

In a matter of moments, thousands of people died under the rolling wood at the head of the city. The Liao soldiers who besieged the city cried and shouted their fathers and mothers, and shouted together. But the leader was unmoved, this situation was expected, and a siege of this magnitude, with a few thousand dead people, was nothing at all.

"Steady! Steady! Besiege! Damn, steady the ladder to attack the city. The squads were shouting and swearing.

The Liao soldiers stabilized their positions and hooked the ladder to the edge of the city wall. Although only half of the 2,000 ladders managed to reach the edge of the city walls, this was enough for the siege soldiers. The Liao army death squad, with a small round oak shield in their left hand, began to climb up the ladder. They maintained a strange posture, their heads tucked into the crook of their left arms, their necks bent and their necks shrunk as much as possible under the round shields, hoping to reduce the damage of the city's defenders, but in doing so they were only deceiving themselves. The defenders of the castle smashed huge boulders at the top of their heads, and sometimes a single giant log could sweep the entire ladder of enemies to the end. The fallen soldiers were screaming for a long time.

This was lucky, some of the defenders at the head of the Jurchen city had giant maces in their hands. The big stick full of spikes smashed down on the head, and even the shield and brain melon seeds were smashed to pieces. There is still a possibility of survival if you are hit by a rolling wood and stone, but if you are hit by this mace, you can even break your head, where can you still live?

Of course, the Liao soldiers who attacked the city were not without countermeasures. The Liao soldiers carried long-handled hook and sickle guns, and when they climbed to the top of the cloud ladder, several people grabbed the hook and sickle with one hand and hooked straight up and down at the head of the city. Once you are hooked by the giant scythe, you will be hooked off the city and fall down, and if you don't cut off your head and body by the hook sickle, you will fall to death under the city.

At this stage of the war, it can only be described as bloody. The city and the city are like hell and evil spirits, and the air is filled with bloody blood mist, and the smell makes people sick. The defenders at the head of the city fell down the city like dumplings, and the Liao army on the ladder also rolled down like a string of bones. Countless stones and stones mixed with boiling oil and boiling water poured down, and the stumps and arms under the city wall were broken, flesh and blood flew sideways, dead bodies rolled, and the blood flowed into a stream into the moat, and the section of the moat near the bank of the river had been dyed blood-red.

"SkyRide! SkyRide! Why don't you cross the river yet? "Watch from the rear

On the platform, Yelu Zongyuan paced back and forth quickly like a lion in a cage, and roared loudly.

It's not that the mob doesn't move, it's just that it's moving too slowly. There are only a dozen passages in total, and more than 40 cloud cars can only travel through them. At this moment, more than a dozen skyscrapers have arrived at the embankment and are slowly driving up the embankment passage under the traction of horses. The huge wheels pressed against the laid logs, and the heavy weight made the logs crackle, and after the wheels ran over, the logs were forced into the earth.

After the entire fleet of the cloud car drove up the embankment, a terrifying sight appeared in front of everyone. Because the weight of the roller coaster was too large, the entire embankment was compressed and sank nearly half a foot under the weight, and a large amount of blood-red liquid bubbled out on both sides of the embankment, staining the river water on both sides black and red. The constant bubbles sent an unbearable smell to the surface of the river, and the stench was unheard of in everyone's life, and it turned people's internal organs upside down. What's even more terrifying is that when the embankment is pressed down, the whole embankment actually emits a strange roar, like the whistling of the north wind on the branches in the cold night, and like the sigh of the evil ghost in hell.

Of course, none of this was a paranormal event, but simply a large number of human and horse corpses buried in the mud and rocks under the embankment that were compressed under the heavy pressure of the rollers. The corpse was squeezed by the mud and rocks, and the blood and water in the body were squeezed out as if it were oil, and the mud and rocks penetrated into the river. The smell of flesh and blood and the dirt in the stomach and intestines can be imagined. When the space between the body and the mud and stone is compressed, it naturally makes a strange sound. It makes people feel that these dikes are living creatures, like the roaring of unjust souls buried in the mud and rocks.

But in any case, the cloud car is about to arrive under the city, which is an exciting good news for the Liao army. The Vapor Coaster was decisive in the siege of the city, and as soon as the Vapor Coaster approached the city walls and built a passage, it was only a matter of time before the walls were breached. As for the skycar, the Jurchens should have no way to counter it. From beginning to end, the Jurchens' attacks on the car never stopped, the bed crossbow continued to bombard the car body, and the iron shell on the front of the car was already full of holes, but the power of the bed crossbow could not destroy the structure of the car after all. The cloud rounder built by the Great Zhou Dynasty was the most top-of-the-line siege equipment, and when it was built, it was designed with a variety of destruction methods in mind, including the bombardment of bed crossbows, the incineration of fire oil, and so on. The exterior is a double-layered iron shell, and the interior is made of the strongest and hardest wood, coated with thick lacquer to make it flame retardant. That is something that can be easily destroyed.

Hearing the news that the cloud chariot was about to cross the river, the expressions on the faces of Yelu Zongyuan and the ministers of the Liao State eased. Good news followed. The siege truck at the south gate crashed down the wall at the edge of the gate, blasting a large hole in the wall next to the gate hole. Although a large amount of earth and stone were blocked in the city gate hole, although it was impossible to enter for a while, the strong men began to widen the hole, and soon they could use manpower to carry out these blocked mud and stone objects and dredge the entire city gate hole. In other words, it was only a matter of time before the gates were breached.

Although their own side suffered heavy casualties and the counterattack of the Jurchens at the head of the city was extremely fierce, it seemed that this siege battle was progressing faster than expected. Yelu Zongyuan and other people from the Liao Kingdom seem to have smelled the smell of victory.
