Youzhou in April is not cold, and even when the weather is fine, it will be a little dry, but today is an exception, the rainy Lulong area is unusually a little dark cloud in the sky, the wind is very cool but not cold, this weather at this time is even a little enjoyable.

Song Xiangpeng walked towards the west of the city with a large leather bag five or six feet long on his back, but the soldiers behind him were empty-handed but did not help him carry the leather bag, which aroused the interest of Xiao Yulin, who was also patrolling the west of the city. But Xiao Yulin did not stop Song Xiangpeng, but just paced slowly from a distance, while Song Xiangpeng stopped on the big iron shop at the back of the quartermaster's prison.

Song Xiangpeng: Brother Ouyang, don't come unharmed, are you ready to move your muscles and bones, stretch your body and mind?

Ouyang Zhansheng: No, no, Brother Xiangpeng doesn't know, my brother has been sick recently.

Song Xiangpeng: Huh? There is such a thing! I don't know what disease Brother Ouyang is suffering from, and what is wrong with his body?

Ouyang Zhansheng: It's strange to say, brother, I eat and sleep as usual, but I can't carry a hammer or press an anvil, is it strange that Brother Xiangpeng looks at me as a sick monster?

Song Xiangpeng: Brother Ouyang! My brother Ouyang! Are you abandoning me? Fortunately, my younger brother found a good pair of nanmu the day before yesterday, so I gave it to my brother to make a place to stay...... It hurts me!

Ouyang Zhansheng picked up the big hammer next to the stove and was about to hit Song Xiangpeng, Song Xiangpeng jumped sideways, and the two laughed and reunited.

Ouyang Zhansheng: Your kid wishes that his brother would explore the way for you first!

Song Xiangpeng: How dare you, if Brother Ouyang leaves, who else can create these magic weapons for his younger brother! I'm hoping that my brother will live for a thousand years.

Ouyang Zhansheng: After you became a general, you have become more civilized and vicious when you scold people!

The two laughed again, Xiao Yulin laughed from afar, and secretly thought to himself, every time he thought of General Song, who had always been thoughtful and didn't speak much, and such a confidant, and such a side. While talking and laughing, Ouyang Zhansheng probed his big hand to the leather bag on the ground, pulled out a short spear from between the open rivet leather buckles, looked it up and down, and then placed the short gun across his index finger to test its balance. Song Xiangpeng opened the soldiers and talked softly with Ouyang Zhansheng alone, although Xiao Yulin had no intention of listening, he still heard some of it.

Ouyang Zhansheng: This gun is also ordinary, but this is really precious in the material, non-copper and non-iron but extremely hard, both tough and light as cicada wings, you have to save a little bit of use, brother.

Song Xiangpeng: This is natural, unless the war is not won for a long time, it will never be rashly abused.

Ouyang Zhansheng: Won't you abuse it and become bald like this?

Song Xiangpeng: (hehe smiles) My brother is deficient, so he dares to waste such a life-saving skill to kill the enemy!

Ouyang Zhansheng: It's okay, I can't say you for my brother.

The two of them laughed as they spoke, and Ouyang Zhansheng put these short spears with sharp blades at both ends in the furnace and burned them, and then put them on the anvil and beat them after they were burned red, and then threw them into the oil and quenched them several times. Everyone has their own secrets, and Xiao Yulin didn't want to ask too much about the privacy of his subordinates, and when he turned around and was about to leave, he saw Hua Shengnan carrying a cowhide bag and walking quickly towards this side with his head down. When he walked up to Xiao Yulin, he was obviously startled, and then he called Xue Shuai slightly embarrassed.

Xiao Yulin: Sister Hua is in such a hurry, where are you going?

Hua Shengnan: Hui Xueshuai, yesterday rewarded the three armies, Ouyang Da...... Ah, Ouyang Blacksmith was busy making ordnance and didn't participate, so I sent him the leg of mutton that belonged to him. By the way, by the way, I asked him to sharpen his knife.

Xiao Yulin: Sister Hua is very relieved to have such a public heart, but you should stop for a moment and go over after General Song leaves.

After Hua Shengnan received the order, he stood in place with interest, and Xiao Yulin asked about the food and drink in the camp. Ouyang Zhansheng's technique was pure, and in less than half an hour, he tempered the five or six short guns in Song Xiangpeng's skin, and after the two talked and laughed for a while, Song Xiangpeng personally picked up the skin bag and left again. Xiao Yulin originally wanted to leave to inspect the west of the city, but when he heard the word "ordnance" when talking to Hua Shengnan, he evoked some thoughts for a while, so he paced to Ouyang Zhansheng's side with Hua Shengnan. When the old gentleman saw Xiao Yulin coming, he hurriedly called all the disciples to bow and bow together.

Ouyang Zhansheng: Xue Shuai personally visited the Quartermaster Inspector's Ordnance Department, and we felt very honored. I don't know what instructions Xue Shuai has?

Xiao Yulin: Get up! There is no need to bow down in the army during war. Don't be nervous!

Ouyang Zhansheng: We will obey the commander's order!

Xiao Yulin: You also left the leg of mutton for you by Sister Hua to gnaw. Then sharpen the big knife that Sister Hua usually uses, and Ben Shuai wants to take a look at your craftsmanship. lest you grind Ben Shuai's treasure knife later.

After listening to this, everyone laughed, Ouyang Zhansheng was not restrained, after eating the leg of mutton in three bites, he picked up the big knife in Hua Shengnan's hand, and pushed the blade on his thumb, he already knew it in his heart, but he deliberately joked.

Ouyang Zhansheng: No wonder the food in the camp has been good recently, look at this blade is not less minced meat and cut bones!

While talking and laughing, Ouyang Zhansheng had already put the blade in the furnace and burned it, and the chef's knife, which was originally inconspicuous except for its size, actually flashed a faint cold light in the furnace fire, although Xiao Yulin was not good at this, but it was not difficult to see from this extraordinary change that this knife was not ordinary.

Xiao Yulin: I heard that knives are easy to anneal and not durable when burned in fire, but Ben Shuai saw that this knife was cold and shiny, and it was not an ordinary thing.

Ouyang Zhansheng: Xue Shuai has good eyesight, this knife seems to be incomplete, but it is actually the 'Juque' divine weapon cast by the sword-casting master Ou Yezi back then.

Xiao Yulin: It turns out that this is the giant sword, and it is really domineering.

Ouyang Zhansheng: Xue Shuai Mingjian, this sword is as its name suggests, one is called "giant" and the other is called "que" giant, and its sword face is broad; The lack of the que, the gap in the body of the sword.

Xiao Yulin: Presumably the Juque Sword is too heavy, and a gap is made in the body of the sword to facilitate the front and rear hands to hold together. In this way, the splitter holds the handle in both hands, and is invincible with the power of the giant sword; The block is divided into front and back, and the force is even, which is convenient for blocking heavy blows. Alack! Wonderful!

Ouyang Zhansheng: Marshal Xiao is unstoppable and scheming in the army, and it is rumored to win at first sight today! Good and evil are both sensible and matched, both sensible and compatible!

Xiao Yulin: Mr. Ouyang's words are serious, you and I are both people who love soldiers, this handsome has martial arts and knows a little about soldiers, but Mr. is a person who is good at casting soldiers, so Mr. is a master, and Yulin is still a student who has just glimpsed the door.

Ouyang Zhansheng: Xue Shuai has a high mind and a wide sea, and he is now praised by Xue Shuai, and the glory is enough to die!

Xiao Yulin: The fracture of Juque is no different from the back of a knife, but when it is placed in the fire, it is different from the flame of the two, and I ask Mr. to give me advice.

Ouyang Zhansheng was silent for a while, then took a long umbrella from the beam behind him, stroked the umbrella and handed it to Xiao Yulin with both hands. Xiao Yulin caught it with both hands, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the long blade on his waist screaming and trembling, and saw that the giant in the furnace showed an unwilling state, causing the furnace fire to roar endlessly. Xiao Yulin held the umbrella in his hand, but a voice kept coming from his heart, "Abandon the sword!" Abandon the sword! Xiao Yulin looked at it for a while, and then returned the umbrella to the old man with both hands.

Xiao Yulin: This thing is extremely fierce but not a mascot, the ancestors have good intentions, please keep it properly, be careful! Be careful!

Ouyang Zhansheng: Marshal Ou Yezi's voice is also! Please bow down to the old man!

Xiao Yulin: Sir, please, there is no need for a big gift in the army during wartime. (Support)

Ouyang Zhansheng: Xue Shuai, this worship is not a gift in the camp, it is only for the justice of the world. This thing is really a fierce thing that triumphs over evil, and the greedy regard it as food, and the selfless abandon it like a broom. It's just that if you don't come out, you will be killed, and if you go out, you will be killed by wounded soldiers, and you will be stubborn and unruly.

Siu Yulin: I see......

The residual blade in the furnace was slightly red, Ouyang Zhansheng held on to the tempering, if it was put into the blood of the sheep after three times, it was quenched, and after taking it out and wiping, it was seen that its cold light was hidden and sharp and abnormal, Hua Shengnan was overjoyed, and inserted the skin sheath on his waist in his hand.

Xiao Yulin: Water quenching is common, oil quenching is rare, I don't know what is the mystery of blood quenching?

Ouyang Zhansheng: Crude things such as farm tools are quenched with water, offensive things such as soldiers are quenched with oil, and those who are divine soldiers are quenched with blood to temporarily remove their ferocity to prevent injury.

Xiao Yulin: Yulin was taught. This time I came to discuss with Mr. Actually, now the soldiers are in the city, it is not a wise choice to fight, only to borrow the city to stop the enemy's attack, but the city fighters first push the crossbow, stone, oil, rolling cart and other things, so I want to bother Mr. to forge a crossbow that does not seek accuracy, does not seek range, but only seeks dense firepower.

Ouyang Zhansheng: During the reign of Emperor Taizong, in order to conquer the city and expand the territory, he made a divine crossbow to break the enemy, but unfortunately it has been lost. However, my Ouyang clan has cast soldiers for generations, and the soldiers and crossbows and arrows will never leave their sects, and in time they will become this crossbow to retreat from the Khitan!

Siu Yulin: That's very good, Mr. Law!

After Xiao Yulin inspected the west of the city, it was already afternoon, and when he didn't return much, Yu Wushu took the written "Book of Asking Yelu for Unrighteous Thieves", Xiao Yulin hurriedly took it in his hand and read it aloud.

Xiao Yulin: The imperial residence in the Central Plains, Wang Shengsi Ye, the divine authority of the monarch, benevolence and virtue. Tianyun Han won the championship, how can he allow the barbarians to chase the deer? The wilderness horseman, the eagle dog is orphaned, and the crested macaque beast dares to follow the example of ordinary people, is it not a grasshopper shaking a tree, comparable to an ant swallowing the sky...... The border wild people have disturbed Confucius and Mencius in China, where is the heart of loyalty and forgiveness? In the realm of being a brother in the name of a younger brother, where is the heart of virtue and righteousness? Where is the heart of filial piety? The covenant and Jin were usurped and defected halfway, where is the heart of faith? Such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, insincere and unbelieving person is not enough to save heavenly reason, and it is difficult to correct people's hearts if they are not killed...... Where is the nest dumping eggs, where is the country broken? Regardless of the small family's recklessness, only by giving everyone's firewood and building a fence for the family and country can the jackal be kept outside the door...... Good! Good! Good! Sir's pen is like a sword, comparable to 100,000 male soldiers! Compared with Luo Bingwang's "On behalf of Xu Jingye to pass on the world", it is still not far behind!

Yu Invincible: Xue Shuai has an overreputation, benevolent and shallow, weak brushstrokes, only the meaning in his chest is spewed out, although he can't kill the enemy with a knife, but he also wants to help the army's heart!

Xiao Yulin: Okay! With such a soldier and a handsome man, the thief is just around the corner! Mr. quickly sent people to copy and distribute and post it for public display!

Yu Wudi: Obey the commander's order!

Not long after Yu Wushu left, Shi Zhankui came to reply with the land requisition contract and the earth-breaking talisman that had been written, Xiao Yulin knew that the soldiers could not resort to witchcraft divination, but now the enemy was outnumbered and could only use this to boost morale, so that the soldiers were full of confidence in breaking the ground and building the city. At a cursory glance, Xiao Yulin not only had talismans to sacrifice heaven and earth, but also talismans to drive away ghosts and gods, cinnabar talismans, red flame talismans, and water and land talismans were all available, so he handed over the matter to Shi Zhankui to deal with it with full authority.

There was no word all night, and at dawn Li Zhong had divided the young and strong soldiers and civilians registered in the register into eight groups, and all the soldiers and civilians were inspired by Yu Wuving's "Book of Asking for Yelu Rebel Thief", and under the call of Xiao Yulin's personal charm, they gave up their small family for everyone and rushed to the city to shake their hands. After everyone gathered around, they saw Shi Zhankui pinching the talisman in one hand and holding the copper coin sword in the other, chanting words in his mouth, stepping on the direction of the seven stars, waving the burning talisman, and then hearing the thunder rolling, it didn't take long for it to rain.

Breaking ground in the rain is the omen of the white tiger spring, and the auspicious position can be said to be good when the weather is good to calm the hearts of the people, and after the cannon sounds, the army and the people will be put into the construction of the project under the leadership of Li Jujin. One group digs the foundation, and the other group demolishes the masonry and civil engineering of nearby houses. The division of labor of each group is clear day and night, less than three days to see the scale, three days to the Khitan people are also busy building fortifications, until the fourth day before there is a small force of cavalry in front of the city two or three miles back and forth to harass, Xiao Yulin closed the city gate and did not fight, but also removed half of the city guards to confuse the Khitans.

The first large-scale sortie since the Khitan army was raised took place on the sixth day after the construction of the city defenses, when the newly built city walls between the cities were not fully built, but they were already seventy-seven or eighty-eight. Tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers bravely surrounded Youzhou City on all sides, and the two sides confronted each other three miles away. Xiao Yulin quickly raised his account and summoned the soldiers to distribute the city defense affairs.

Xiao Yulin: The Khitan is menacing and besieges the city on all sides, but don't panic, the siege is not better than the field battle, and the number of victories and defeats is not stronger than the horse fast bow, but how many living forces can be annihilated! Therefore, we must not do the ignorant and stupid thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, but rely on the solidity of the city to be comprehensive with the enemy. Oil, gravel and other materials are transported to the city as soon as possible, and if the rebels attack, they will return fire with this weapon, and if they are besieged but not attacked, they must not be brave to attack! General Tang led 2,000 people to defend the south of the city, General Yuan led 2,000 people to defend the north of the city, General Ji and Mr. Yu led 1,500 people to defend the east of the city, General Song led 2,500 people to defend the west of the city, and General Li led 500 patrol battalions to guard the forbidden army outside the tent to stand by, and to maneuver and replenish with the changes in the enemy's situation!

Soldiers: The last general commands!

After everyone finished speaking, they went to the city gates where they were stationed, and Xiao Yulin stayed behind in the Chinese army, and went to supervise the battle when the Khitan attacked the main attack. When everyone was busy, Ren Tiande found Hua Shengnan, collected the leftover steamed buns and other clean noodles in the Huotou army, and then took out the ink-colored jade bottle in his arms, poured out some granular powder on it, and then covered it with a blanket.

Li Jujin led the people in the city, bringing the old and young women and children to rush to work, but fortunately, the main body has been completed, and all that is left is some fine processing, edging and the like. Jujin this person was in charge of the imperial master's position, and the engineering projects he handled, whether it was a millennium plan or a temporary fortification, were meticulous, fine and beautiful, so the low wall built between the cities was more than one zhang, compared with the main city of Youzhou.

Suddenly, I heard the report of the soldiers, and said that the king of Yelu Abaoji appeared three miles outside the north gate. Xiao Yulin then held the long lance, led his own soldiers to guard the north gate of the galloping horse, and immediately climbed the tower to overlook, and saw that the king tent of Yelu Abaoji was tall and broad, the banner was clear, eight horses in the front, thousands of feather forest guards in the back, there were several rows of wooden fences in front of the array, and behind the fence were several rows of foot soldiers holding riveted Peng platoons, and after the foot soldiers were a group of bows and crossbows, and then there were countless cavalry all over the four fields, and then looked left and right, six drums, four golds, and thirty-two military flags were magnificent and kingly. Yuan Dou Yan stood beside Xiao Yulin, his fighting spirit awe-inspiring and his expression excited.

Xiao Yulin: General Yuan, don't worry, you have to fight this battle, and then a battle can force this Yelu child to retreat in a hurry!

Yuan Dou Ray: The last general commanded. It's just that from the perspective of the last general, although this Khitan rebel thief is strictly arrayed and has a clear hierarchy of troops, it is just a tiger dog after all! The wilderness with 100,000 soldiers, the most important is to pay attention to the scheduling, so such a should be attributed to the unified coordination of the Chinese army's big tent, the dog thief only knows the magnificence of the card and does not understand the catechism, if it is scattered in the battle array, the group of dragons is leaderless, and it is bound to abandon the armor and drag the soldiers away!

Xiao Yulin: Shibei should be impressed in three days! General Yuan can have such an insight, which is really a blessing for Youzhou! It's just that the general ignored one point, at this time, the Khitan rebel king's tent was in the middle, and the soldiers would always guard the Yelu king's tent as the core. Banner orders, drum advances, gold retreats and other orders can be said to be available in this formation, not to mention that at this moment, the enemy army is on the defensive, besieging but not attacking, if we rush to attack, it is easy to be in the middle of the attack.

Yuan Dou Dang: Obey Xue Shuai's orders!

Because Zhou Guangzuo was constrained by it, the handsome flag of Xiao was delayed, and the handsome flag was still marked by the word "Zhou". As everyone knows, this is messing up the minds of the Khitan people, and the captives who rushed back a few days ago all said that when Youzhou City changed its commander, but after these days, the handsome flag is still marked by the word "Zhou", Yelu and others are more and more unconvinced of what the captives say, and this fiction and reality are even more uncertain. But this Abaoji first ascended to the throne and urgently needed a catastrophe to establish his authority, so he found the Youzhou battlefield where he won three battles and three victories in the report. It's just that when he first came to Youzhou to set up camp, he was disturbed by the robbery of the camp led by Xiao Yulin and others, and he also folded the vanguard general who was specially brought over from the capital on this trip, and heard what the two captives who fled back swore what they had seen and heard, so they thought of using siege without attack, and waiting for the chaos in Youzhou City to surrender without a fight, so as to say what kind of official rhetoric such as heavenly power and sweeping the universe.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the handsome flag of the word "Zhou" has not changed, and the soldiers are not tired, hungry and thin, but they are waiting for the crowd to be excited, so they have a deep sense of being deceived. It's just that the Son of Heaven is full of words, and he can't change his orders day and night, so he has to be pleasant on the surface, talking and laughing.

Yelu Abaoji: Although the city of Youzhou is large, it is just a lonely city, and the grain and grass have not continued to be different hearts of the soldiers for a long time. Today, he will surround him, and his fighting spirit will disturb his heart, and tomorrow he will attack the city in a big way, and he will hear good news!

Relic: The emperor's brother is mighty, and he stabs the key point from a high vantage point, and tomorrow's minister is willing to ask for a general's order, so he can take the lead in taking this credit!

Yelu Abaoji: The royal brother is really a good horse of my family, and tomorrow I will personally cheer for you!

Relic: Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

At dusk, the Khitan army changed to the front army, Gongwei Wang tent calmly returned to the camp, Xiao Yulin also returned from the north city, after dinner, Xiao Yulin recruited the army squadron to discuss the tent of the generals and commanders.

Xiao Yulin: The Khitan siege today is just to explore the reality of our army, so as to cheer for the next large-scale attack. The soldiers may not know that they are guarding each gate, and General Yuan and I saw Yelu Xiaoer's honor guard on the north city. From the perspective of the guard of honor, this thief has already followed the example of the usurper Zhu thief to claim the emperor, so arrogant, such sinister intentions can be said to be obvious! Our generation is the pillar of the imperial dynasty to protect the country, and we are determined to support the Tang Dynasty as a business! If there is a thief, he will be killed!

Soldiers: Destroy it! It must be destroyed! It must be destroyed!

Tang Chihu: The last general asks for an order to guard the north gate together with General Yuan!

Yuan Douyu: Since General Tang is guarding the north gate, the last general will be ordered to be the vanguard of the army and fight into the enemy formation to disrupt the enemy's siege and deployment!

Song Xiangpeng: The art of war is cloudy: if you win, you will fight, if you don't know, you will defend, and if you lose, you will go! Now that the enemy is outnumbered, it is really inappropriate to go out of the city to face the battle, and the day before yesterday was like this with the defeat of the three defeated soldiers! Now that the rebels have increased their troops by 300,000, it is not wise for us to go to war again. The last general thinks that he should defend the city with the strength of the city and wait for reinforcements! When reinforcements arrive, they will flank and break the enemy!

Xiao Yulin: What the soldiers said is reasonable, and it is inevitable to defend it, but you can't sit in a lonely city! The Khitan is overwhelming, if you choose a long-term attack, although it will not break the city in an instant, it will cause serious damage to us, even if it is delayed until the reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult for the thieves to win. That's why the commander intends to take a dangerous path to defend the middle and seek war! In this way, we will continue to weaken the vitality of the enemy's army, and then frustrate its sharp spirit and grow the prestige of our army.

Song Xiangpeng: Xue Shuai has been building the city wall between the cities of Xicheng with the army and civilians for several days, is it just for this great use?

Xiao Yulin: That's good! This is my urn in Youzhou, serving the turtles of the Khitan!

After such a cloud, the morale of the generals was greatly boosted! Yuan Dou and other militants are even more smiling and gearing up, and they can't wait for the Khitan to enter the city as soon as possible!

Xiao Yulin: If you are on duty at night, you will rest early, you will not be chaotic in the face of danger, you will not be afraid of battle, you will eat as usual, and sleep like the deceased Fang Nai's demeanor!

Soldiers: The last general commands!

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Yulin silently rehearsed the possible offensive and defensive situations in his heart, and was about to fall asleep, when he suddenly heard the noise of the soldiers outside the tent, Xiao Yulin walked out of the tent with a sword in his clothes, and saw that the soldiers were blocking a rickety old man, saying that he would sleep well in the middle of the night, and he would report something tomorrow.

Xiao Yulin: Wait for you to step down! Ben Shuai and Mr. Ouyang have already made an appointment tonight, please enter the account quickly.

Ouyang Zhansheng: Xie Xueshuai lifted the old slave like this, and the old slave felt heartfelt.

Xiao Yulin: The soldier does not know the details, Mr. Ouyang must not be surprised. I wonder what Mr. came late at night to discuss?

Ouyang Zhansheng: Hui Yu Xue Shuai, the long-lost Taizong Divine Soldier "Desert Storm" old slave has been imitated tonight, how to place this thing?

Xiao Yulin: Mr. is really a world Ouye, a cadre, and Mr. Xie on behalf of the people of Youzhou, Mr. Xie has worked tirelessly to catch up with the gods!

Ouyang Zhansheng: Xue Shuai, the old slave has a reluctant request and asks Xue Shuai to agree.

Siu Yulin: Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say that.

Ouyang Zhansheng: On the day of retreating from the enemy, I hope that Xue Shuai will hand over this thing to the old slave for disposal.

Xiao Yulin: The crime of soldiers is really the fault of people. I have long heard that this thing is extremely brave and unusually killed, and after Taizong pacified the world, in order to avoid the destruction of living beings, he destroyed this thing. Yulin is also willing to follow the example of the first emperor and destroy this murderous soldier on the day of his retirement!

Ouyang Zhansheng: Born Marshal Xiao, it is really a blessing for the people! The old slave Xie Xue is handsome! (kneeling)

Ouyang Zhansheng: (supporting) Sir, please get up, Yulin vows to live up to the promise!

Xiao Yulin led his own guards and quartermaster supervisors overnight to transport the two "desert storms" to the newly built city wall and divided them into subordinates on both sides.

There have already been scouts in the sky, and the Khitan army is besieging the city, especially on the northwest side! Xiao Yulin wore a robe and hung a blade, and hurriedly recruited the Zhonglang general Ji Shengyuan who was guarding the eastern city.

Ji Shengyuan: The army is pressing the realm and Xue Shuai is in a hurry, dare to ask what are the orders?

Xiao Yulin: General Ji is good at using drums and flutes, but I don't know if you know how to play the zither and other music?

Ji Shengyuan: Yu Xue Shuai, the last general family has been a court musician for generations, if it weren't for this troubled era, he would be the front of the palace to play the qin and drums. I don't know how Xue Shuai asked about this?

Siu Yulin: That's great! Ji Shengyuan listened to the order, quickly returned to the mansion in the city, and took the qin to obey the orders in the west city, there must be no mistake!

Ji Shengyuan: The last general will obey orders! (Dazed and suspicious, but obey the commander's order)

Xiao Yulin ran to the west of the city with a lance and a horse, and saw 100,000 soldiers under the city, and the black clouds pressed the city.

Siu Yulin: Are you ready?

Song Xiangpeng: Yu Xue is handsome, the last general will personally check it three times, and it will be foolproof!

Siu Yulin: That's great! Dangerous tricks especially need to be cautious, success is a reward for merit, and failure is to come to see!

Song Xiangpeng: Obey the commander's order!

After a while, the drums in the Khitan army burst out, and the shouts of the soldiers shook the sky! Xiao Yulin stood still at the head of the city, and the early morning sun shone on the tasseled helmet, stretching his back infinitely, tall and mighty and fearless, and the soldiers were all inspired! At the same time, Ji Sheng carried the qin on his back and galloped to the city with the qin case in his arms.

Xiao Yulin: Spring is not far away, summer is not yet here, and please ask the master to touch the piano to comfort the guests from afar.

Ji Shengyuan: I don't wait, my grievances have not disappeared, dare to ask the layman what song to welcome the guests from afar?

Xiao Yulin: Woe comes from Xuanzong, please play the feather coat song.

Ji Shengyuan set the string tone of the piano case, facing the 100,000 Khitan army under the city, low eyebrows and slowly playing, the sound of the piano is soft and clear, the music is gentle and lingering, countless affection and affection, and the concubine can't finish the honey. Xiao Yulin sighed in his heart, if such a rhythm was not from the hands of the emperor, it would not be a masterpiece of the world, a masterpiece of music, a pity!

Song Xiangpeng: Drop the suspension bridge! Open the gates of the city –

Although Ji Shengyuan heard the strategy of resisting the enemy in the handsome tent last night, he didn't expect it to be like this, and for a while he was really a little bottomless and sweaty, but seeing the appearance of the handsome man, he gradually returned his frightened heart to normal, and the sound of the piano became more and more beautiful in the emotional changes, and then finally played the feeling of the palace spring.

At this moment, this panicked mood naturally shifted from Ji Shengyuan, who was playing the qin at the head of the city, to the side of the Khitan general. The Khitan people won three battles and three victories, morale was high, before the battle was inspired by the Khan King, the soldiers swore that they would never retreat, the intention of trapping has been decided, the strategy of climbing the city was established, but the Youzhou Jin army opened the city gate at this stall, and even more was still calm and relaxed in the city to stroke the qin, like the angry ball was suddenly opened out of a big mouth, the Khitan soldiers were immediately at a loss, everyone you look at me and I look at you, for a while undecided, suspicion spread in the army.

Sarisu: Soldiers! Huang Wei is mighty, and the world is in the heart. We waited for three battles and three victories to cut down more than 40,000 thieves and more than 30,000, and the thieves in Gou'an in the city were only three or five thousand. The remnants of the defeated army will also follow Zhuge Kongming's example and use this empty city plan! Ridiculous and ridiculous! Even if you have Kong Ming's talent, Ben Shuai is not the timid Sima Yi! Soldiers! Take advantage of the Jin thief's poor donkey skills to arrange the troops indiscriminately, and kill me into the city! The emperor personally supervised the battle, and the first to enter the city worshiped as the general and rewarded thousands of cattle and sheep!

Khitan soldiers: Kill! Kill! Kill!

A group of cavalry galloped straight to the west gate of Youzhou, the horse speed was extremely fast, and the distance of three miles was only in an instant. Yelu Abaoji stood on the edge of the line and looked at the battle in front of him, his heart was not calm! The red-armored and red-robed generals standing on the north city yesterday were clearly the people who robbed the camp a few days ago. This person is very brave and deliberately left behind the city defense map and captured to confuse our army, which shows that he has both resourcefulness. This time the city gate was opened, whether it was to imitate Zhuge Kongming to perform an empty city plan or to lay a mechanism in the city, it was really difficult to judge for a while. But if you are afraid of danger at this moment, it is easy to disturb the morale of the army, and second, you may miss this great opportunity! Then he acquiesced in the attack of the relics. But as a king, there are still some things that should be said, so that no matter what victory or defeat, you will fall into the good reputation of an unpredictable prophet!

Yelu Abaoji: The Jin thieves opened the city gate so widely, didn't they follow Zhuge Kongming's plan to set up an empty city?

Xiao Dilu: Emperor Shengming, how can the Jin army not be afraid of my more than 300,000 troops? At this moment, opening the city gate is mostly a suspicious tactic. Our army is good at rushing and killing on the plains, and does not like to attack the city and pull out the village, the Jin thieves are not self-destructing the city walls at this moment, it can be seen that the Jin thieves have panicked and confused under the pressure of the army! It shows that the emperor is mighty!

Yelu Abaoji: Having said that, don't be careless about the enemy! The red-armored and red-robed warrior has courage and wisdom that should not be underestimated, and I am deeply worried that the relics are greedy for merit and rashly entered the plan of the Jin thief and gave the soldiers their lives in vain!

Xiao Dilu: The emperor is not worried, even if it is a plan, our soldiers are overwhelming and enter the enemy city, and it is difficult for thousands of soldiers in the middle of Youzhou City to compete with our army.

The Khitan horse is fast, and nearly 10,000 soldiers have bravely crossed the drawbridge to enter the city, Xiao Yulin pulled out his knife to cut off the strings, and the sound of the strings breaking was bitter and whimpering, which prompted the relics to let go and attack with all their might!

Xiao Yulin: General Song, how many dog thieves have entered the city?

Song Xiangpeng: Yu Xue is handsome, no less than 20,000.

Xiao Yulin: Although I don't know how to hurt his muscles and bones, it is enough to frustrate his spirit. Close the door and hit the dog!

Song Xiangpeng: The last general is ordered! Retract the suspension bridge! Closing the City Gate –

Even if the soldiers kept turning the zipline that pulled the suspension bridge, there were many Khitan people and horses, and the weight was too great under the surge, no matter how hard the soldiers worked, the zipline pulling the suspension bridge did not move. Song Xiangpeng did not panic, took out the rocket that had been prepared a long time ago, aimed at the side edge of the suspension bridge, and hit it with one blow, and the suspension bridge that had already been brushed with fire oil burst into flames in an instant. The flying horses galloped on the bridge, and the whole suspension bridge fell into a sea of fire under the wind and fire, and then collapsed, many people and horses did not have time to dodge and fell into the moat several zhang wide, and there were even more people on the cliff side who were squeezed into the river by the galloping horses that could not be stopped by the rear.

There were archers in the city who aimed at the river and shot with bows, and the soldiers who fell into the river were all killed and wounded, and there was no shelter by the river, and under the rain of arrows, everyone on the shore scattered and fled like frightened birds. And said that nearly 10,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 foot soldiers entered the city, and saw that the drawbridge was destroyed and had to fight against the water, but when they were about to kill the city wall, they found that the city had been rebuilt, and the stairs originally used to climb the tower on both sides of the west gate were all destroyed, and there was no place to climb in the whole west city, and there was a city wall between the city walls, and there was a door hole in the middle of the city wall that was only more than a foot wide, so that the three walls surrounded the two cliff patios, and more than 20,000 people became the turtles in the frog urn in the well!

Some of the soldiers who have not yet penetrated are about to run back, but Xiao Yulin has already drawn his knife and slashed at several ropes in the city tower, and the ropes that bind the wheels were broken in response, and the iron chains under the wheels were rattled, and the huge boulders poured down from the door hole, sealing half of the city gate with a huge stone that was more than a foot high, but it was enough to cut off the back road of the besieging soldiers.

Relic: Stabilize the formation and lay the planks! Set up a ladder! Rush over! Inside and outside should join forces to break through Youzhou!

The Khitan soldiers were well-trained, and then there was Yelu Abaoji's personal expedition, and after the main general shouted the order of the banners and drums, he immediately stabilized the formation, but before the charge was launched again, the Khitan soldiers trapped in the city began to wail, and the neighing of the horses resounded in the heart. Everyone outside the city was frightened, and suddenly asked again, the buzzing sound came out of the city, and the buzzing sound was immediately mourning everywhere, and the screams of the besieged Khitan soldiers were particularly terrible!

As everyone knows, under Xiao Yulin's strategy, the Khitan soldiers and horses besieged in the two courtyards in the west of the city were shot by Tang Chihu's South Gate crossbowmen, Song Xiangpeng's West Gate crossbowmen, and Yuan Dou Fei's North Gate crossbowmen. What's even more shocking is that the initiator of the buzzing sound - the place where the "desert wind" passes is like tissue paper, and the crossbow arrows that are more than a foot long even pass through the holes of people and horses, and even those who lean against the wall are nailed to the wall by crossbow arrows, or obliquely inserted into the ground covered with blood foam!

Xiao Yulin was happy and happy at first, but when he saw these two horse-drawn crossbows called "Desert Shuofeng" so bloodthirsty and miserable, he couldn't help but feel microwaves in his chest. Thinking that Emperor Taizong could not bear to use this murderous soldier for the sake of tens of thousands of people in the city, I Xiao Yulin wanted to slaughter more than 300,000 people outside the city with this murderous soldier! Xiao Yulin couldn't bear to think about it anymore and sighed.

Xiao Yulin: Stop!

A handsome order rang out in unison, and the soldiers immediately stopped shooting and killed. In less than half an hour, the blood in the two courtyards was like a river, and more than 20,000 people were almost wiped out, and the rest were wounded, frightened, and scattered. The two "desert winds" have been pulled by horses when Xiao Yulin ordered to stop, and the soldiers in charge of the shooting direction panicked and made the crossbow machine that was facing down half a foot too high, and the crossbowman who killed the red eye was numb, and after hearing the order, his hand was half a minute slower, so the crossbow machine that was half a foot high had been triggered, several of them shot into the pile of dead people and caused layers of blood mist, a few were inserted into the city wall to stir up pieces of brick debris, and a few flew out of the city from the door hole, and the hole pierced through the rows of Khitan soldiers until half a mile before stopping!

The huge amount of heat generated by the blood mist accompanied by the dense firepower of the "Great Desert Wind" enveloped the entire Youzhou City! The air was filled with a thick smell of death, and the Khitan soldiers were stunned in place! Under the pressure of such unequal firepower, escape seems to be superfluous, like a hunter chasing a flock of sheep in a panic, and running away will do no good except arouse the hunter's greater desire to hunt!

Yelu Abaoji: Mingjin! Back to camp!

Yelu Abaoji was worthy of the four words of eloquence, and personally commanded everyone to withdraw to the camp ten miles away. Later generations of Totoku and others wrote in "Liao History: Taizu Benji": Taizu patrolled Youzhou, saw that there was gas in the city like fireworks, and said: Do not attack! And so it was returned.

Yuan Dou Ray: Xue Shuai! The last general asked for an order to lead his troops to chase and cover up while the enemy was fleeing!

Xiao Yulin: Poor Kou Mo chase, let him go!

Yuan Dou Yong: Xue Shuai thinks twice, if you don't chase this time, you are afraid that you will let the tiger return to the mountain and leave a big trouble!

Xiao Yulin: After this battle, the traitor is bound to lose all fighting spirit, and it is a matter of time before he retreats. If the chase is too much, it will be forced to trap the beast to fight, so that it will be counterproductive and increase the variables.

Yuan Dou Ray: The last general obeys!

Xiao Yulin: General Song led his subordinates to restore the Ximen objects to their original state, General Tang counted the battle damage and reported it, General Yuan dispersed the battlefield Xianglu beheaded and seized materials, and General Ji cooperated with Doctor Ren to treat the wounded with all his might, regardless of the enemy and me.

Soldiers: General Mo commands!

After the generals dispersed, Xiao Yulin beckoned the last mobile troops to arrive, Jin Wuwei and Li Zhong.

Xiao Yulin: General Li, you led your troops to dismantle these two "Great Desert Shuofeng" and hand them over to Mr. Ouyang, the quartermaster. Just say...... Just said, 'Taizong can't bear it, how can Yulin be wrong'

Li Zhong: Obey the orders of General Xueshuai!

At dusk, the suspension bridges and city gates of the city fortifications have been restored to their original appearance, but the corpses of the Khitan soldiers in the two courtyards have not yet been transported, and everyone respectfully obeys Xiao Yulin's order to transport these broken corpses to the vicinity of the Khitan military camp, both sides tacitly follow the rules of the battlefield, the Jin army transports the corpses without making noise and ridicule, and the Khitan collects the corpses without disturbing each other, and it is not until the next day that the transportation is completed, and the collected armor, weapons and other iron and copper metals are all sent to the quartermaster for smelting, Ouyang Zhansheng asked Hua Shengnan to use the military horses that died in this battle to make a table of sacrifices, and then asked Shi Zhankui to perform a ritual in front of the mountains of blood-stained weapons, and only after three days did he smelt them with his apprentices.

The battlefield statistics reported by the generals are naturally a great victory, their own losses are only dozens but more than 20,000 enemies, hundreds of remnants of the enemy are captured, the only pity is that most of the military horses died under the killing of the heavy weapon of the "Great Desert Shuofeng", and the intact ones are only hundreds. But the soldiers and civilians in the city were able to eat horse meat for several days in a row!

Xiao Yulin presented the list of meritorious soldiers to the envoy of Zhou Jiedu, but he never wanted to be detained by Zhou Guangzuo halfway, so there was no news for a long time, so within the scope of his authority, a group of generals were promoted.

Because the wounds of the arrow are mostly penetrating wounds that hurt the lungs and flesh and bones, and are very susceptible to infection, so the injured prisoners in this camp are mostly in a critical condition due to fever, Ren Tiande uncovered the blanket covering the leftover steamed buns collected from Hua Shengnan the day before yesterday, and the penicillium in it is uneven and vigorous, so he used these penicillium mixed with myogenic gold sore medicine to treat the wounded.

As Xiao Yulin expected, after this battle, the Khitan closed the camp gate for several days and did not fight, and Yelu Abaoji took advantage of the urgency of the palace affairs to drive back to Saibei. This is also the only time he has returned in vain! But because of this, the responsibility for the impending retreat is clean......
