It's just that after the passage of Zhuozhou, the army is a little slow. Because the three "hard detectives" seemed to have suffered from the wind and cold overnight, trembling all over, their teeth were clenched, their hands and feet were tightened, and they did not eat or drink, and the doctors in the army were helpless after seeing it.

Liu Guangshi couldn't, so he had to rely on Liu Guangzu's "description" before to lead the vanguard army up the river, but in this way, he needed to explore the road while moving forward, and he had to be wary of the soldiers, so the speed was much slower.

It's just a mistake, and it really made Liu Guangshi go to the south of Yanjing City.

In fact, Liu Guangshi watched the river go west, and was hesitating, whether to continue to the north or continue to march along the river. Suddenly, his subordinates shouted on the side: "Commander Liu, look!" Yanjing! ”

Liu Guangshi looked north, only to see that the fog was heavy, and the shadows were full of shadows, and a majestic and lofty city stood in the north.

Liu Guangshi wiped a handful of Han and shouted: "Be sure to rush outside Yanjing City before dawn!" The stragglers will be dealt with by military law! After speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards Yanjing City in the north.

The news that Yanjing City had already been seen in front reached the back, and without Liu Yanqing's urging, these "wolf soldiers" hurried to follow the front team like a vicious wolf that smelled blood.

The majestic Yanjing City is getting closer and closer, and you can even see the flags on the city wall and the faint guard soldiers. Liu Guangshi, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, raised his hand to stop the army, his bloodshot eyes were like the violent pupils of a vicious beast, he couldn't move forward anymore, and he could already see the wide moat in front of him - he didn't see a boat on it, it seemed that Liu Guangzu was still dutiful, and he should be promoted when he went back.

Liu Guangshi's men quickly found a place to camp: in the past, when the Song people went to Fanguo, they passed through the Nanting where they stayed in the south of Youzhou City. Liu Guangshi asked people to clean up and prepare to meet the coach.

Liu Yanqing had already hurried over from the rear team and came to Liu Guangshi's side, and Liu Guangshi hurriedly gave Liu Yanqing a salute. Liu Yanqing didn't have time to pay attention to these, and took a brief look at Yanjing City, only to see that Yanjing City was six or seven zhang high, made of bluestone and loess, and the city wall was already full of guards, one by one holding bows and arrows, looking here. Not far from the castle is the moat. Directly opposite here is Kaiyang Gate, one of the eight gates of Yanjing City.

Liu Yanqing said to the generals who followed him left and right: "Today, our army arrived as scheduled, and immediately attacked Yanjing. Order: As soon as everyone heard the word "order", they stood solemnly and listened to the military order.

Liu Yanqing said: "Wang Yuan led the left army to besiege Danfeng Gate, Jiao Anjie led the right army to attack Yingchun Gate, Liu Guangshi led the vanguard army to attack and open Yangmen, Wu Zihou led the rear army to assist Liu Guangshi to attack and open Yangmen, and the Chinese army was stationed with me. Before dawn, the armies should be in place. Listen to the orders of our Chinese army and attack together! ”

Liu Yanqing still knows the basic situation of Yanjing City. The imperial court will grasp these enemy situations through various channels, and then send them to the army, so as not to lead to jokes. Since Yanjing is going to be attacked, the general situation of Yanjing's defense is also known to the generals of all armies, so the arrangements just now are also understood by the commanders of all armies. With the order, each of them went down with his men.

In this arrangement, Liu Yanqing was selfish. Wang Yuan's attack on Danfeng Gate and Jiao Anjie's attack on Yingchun Gate were just feints, involving the strength of the defenders in the city. The main attack, of course, was the 3,000 vanguard army of his son Liu Guangshi. Therefore, he did not hesitate to let Wu Zihou and the rear army also assist Liu Guangshi in attacking and opening the Yangmen. He is in charge of the Chinese army, and his position is also outside the Kaiyang Gate, once there is an opportunity, he is not a vegetarian in the 10,000 horses of the Chinese army - a father and son soldier in a war.

Yanjing, which has always been one of the five major capitals of the Liao people, has a dangerous terrain, and is rich in the people of Wufu, so it is naturally painstakingly managed, and there are heavy troops stationed in the city, and Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi are also here, of course, they will not easily let Liu Yanqing's men and horses touch the city without knowing it.

It's just that Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi are both the best among people, and they both know that if anyone is in charge of the military at this time, who will be the next emperor. The ridiculous idea of being loyal to the monarch would not exist among the Liao people. Only interests are the most important, and without interests, there will be less nonsense about courtesy, righteousness, honesty, loyalty, filial piety, and frugality.

Xiao Gan was originally the leader of the Xi people, Yelu Dashi was the direct great-grandson of Taizu, and both of them were decisive in killing. Therefore, knowing that Liu Yanqing's army was killed, the two of them could not let one side lead the troops to fight and attack and kill the Southern Korean army on the road. As a result, Liu Yanqing's army was able to reach the south of the moat safely after passing Zhuozhou.

The early morning mist finally dissipated, and the majestic Yanjing city wall was finally clearly and truly displayed in front of Liu Yanqing's eyes. I have to say that the walls of this Yanjing City are tall and strong, and there is a moat to block it, which is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, it depends on who attacked, Liu Yanqing snorted coldly and waved his hand to the people around him.

A soldier with a horn in his hand finally blew a "whine" sound, and suddenly one after another rapid drums resounded throughout the army. There were also bursts of drums in the distance to the left and right, and Liu Yanqing's "wolf soldiers" became restless.

With the sound of drums, the crossbowmen in front of the army began to shoot arrows at the city wall through the moat.

This first wave of arrows is a test shot, to see where it goes, and then the real attack.

Sure enough, with the sound of the drums, a second rain of arrows shot at the city, only to turn into rockets. The rocket does not seek to directly hit the opposing soldiers, but only to disrupt the enemy army, increase the confusion of the enemy army, and make the enemy army tired to deal with it.

The drums changed again, and the formation of the army also changed, and passages flashed out in the middle, followed by large siege equipment-catapults.

Along with the catapults, there were groups of soldiers, all holding round iron bumps the size of a ball.

Each catapult was operated by more than a dozen soldiers, only to see one soldier put the iron lump in the cloth pocket of the catapult, and the other soldier used a red-hot iron cone to pierce the mulberry paper at a hole in the iron bump, and a trace of black smoke began to come out of it, and the catapult "swished" and threw the iron bump out, either on the head of the city, or on the inside and outside of the city wall, and after the iron bump landed, more and more black smoke and yellow smoke came out of the iron bump, and sometimes it was mixed with fire and spewed out. As soon as the soldiers around the iron pimple approached the yellow smoke and black smoke, they immediately withered and fell to the ground, and some staggered and ran away. The city wall was choked by this round of iron lump smoke, and it was powerless to fight back.
