Officials, the military village at the border of the Song Kingdom is built high and strong, and every military village is a hard bone to speak, no matter what the strategy is to stay with the king, it is difficult to change the situation of a large number of injuries, and with the temper of the king, it is likely to anger you. Gongzi might as well take the initiative to ask for orders to go to Shuitou City with the army, that Shuitou City heard that it was only a small city, the city wall was low and not strong enough, and the Song people had no reinforcements, so it was a matter of time before they broke through the city and destroyed the Song army. If the officials went to Shuitou City, wouldn't they have made a great contribution steadily. In the camp of the Liao army outside the border pass of Zhending Mansion, a handsome and handsome entourage beside Li Hanguang dissuaded Li Hanguang in a low voice.

When Li Hanguang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he bowed slightly, and the words of this handsome entourage spoke to his heart.

After a little hesitation, Li Hanguang turned around and went to the royal tent of Xiao Tianxiong, the king of the Southern Courtyard.

As the night came, the wind and snow fell inside and outside the city of Shuitou City, and the firelight extended along the city wall, and the Song army on duty on the city wall was still looking intently into the distance.

The head of Shuitou City under the wind and snow is extremely cold, and even has a chilling feeling, Zhang Bin couldn't help but shiver when he inspected the city, but Orimuqiu, who was always like a javelin behind him, looked as usual, as if he was not standing at the head of the city under the wind and snow, but in a warm conservatory like spring.

Looking at the Liao camp outside the city, which was also a continuous fire, Zhang Bin knew that the night time was the time for the Liao people to hurry up and build siege equipment.

"Supervise the army, give a thousand people to the lowly position to go out of the city and attack at night, and the lowly position can make a military order, which will definitely be able to inflict a heavy blow on the Liao army." Orimuqiu was full of fighting spirit and asked loudly for instructions.

"Why a night attack?" Zhang Bin glanced at Zhemuqiu, shook his head without hesitation and said: "Now that the Liao people are attacking, we are going to defend, we have one death, they have at least ten deaths, and the ratio of casualties between you going out of the city and the night attack of the Liao people can exceed ten to one?" ”

Orimuqiu frowned and thought for a while, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "This...... I really can't guarantee it. ”

Just kidding, these Liao tribal armies outside the city don't have much experience in attacking the city at all, and they can defend the city and kill and injure a large number of enemies, why do they stupidly give up their advantages and run out to fight with the Liao people, wouldn't that be the will of the Liao people.

However, Zhi Muqiu's courage to fight can't be hit, Zhang Bin smiled again: "Don't worry about Mu Qiu, there will definitely be a field battle with the Liao people in the future, and then it will be the time for you to show your bravery." ”

Orimuqiu, who was a little unwilling, suddenly lit up his eyes, and said with a curse: "Don't worry, the prison army will never let down the prison army when the time comes." ”

The two of them talked, patrolling the city with a team of guards, and the sentries on duty along the way saluted Zhang Bin with admiration.

Taking advantage of the dark night, the Song army was not idle, and a large number of houses in the city were demolished, and the objects such as yaksha and rolling wood and stone were placed all over the city in different categories, and all kinds of defending the city were ready to stretch out on the city wall.

When walking on the city wall in the east, Zhang Bin watched a soldier holding a piece of frozen steamed bun with great difficulty, and saw a bowl of water next to him frozen into ice, he couldn't help but move in his heart, touched the city wall, and ordered: "Siwa, you go and tell Su Guo, let him lead people to force the Liao people in the city to carry water to the city, and then pour the water on the city." ”

Li Siwa didn't know what her son-in-law meant, so she agreed, and ran down the city.

It didn't take long for Su Guo to lead a team of Song troops to drive those Liao people, carrying buckets and basins, pouring water on the outer wall and then going down again, and so on.

"Ziyu, when is this water going to be splashed?" Su Guo has a lot of things to worry about in the past few days, and the whole person has lost weight, but the light in his eyes is getting brighter and brighter, and the spirit of the whole person is very different from before.

Zhang Bin's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Until these Liao people don't have the strength to climb up to the top of the city, I want to make the city wall half as high overnight........."

At this moment, Zhang Bin's expression suddenly froze, and the words in his mouth stopped abruptly, because he suddenly heard the sound of dense horses' hooves, and then saw a long line of fire in the east, which was a cavalry rushing with torches.

"The reinforcements of the Liao people have arrived......" Zhang Bin's expression was solemn.

Above Shuitou City, the wind blew very cold, but at this time the cold was no longer worth worrying about.

With the arrival of Liao reinforcements, the expressions of all the Song people in the city have become extremely dignified, and the atmosphere of the Song army in the city has begun to change.

The wind blew, Zhang Bin stood in the wind and snow at the head of the city, his eyes repeatedly scanned the torches of the Liao army, which lasted for half an hour, and finally fixed his gaze on a torch.

The torch seems to be held by a Liao man on a horse, at first glance it seems to be no different from the torch in the hands of other Liao people, but if you look closely, you will find that this torch is turning in a circle counterclockwise, but it may be for fear of being discovered by others, the circle is not large, and it is difficult to find it if you do not observe it deliberately.

Seeing this unique torch, Zhang Bin gradually laughed after a long period of solemnity, and the laughter was heroic and full of confidence.

"Magutou, the king is very disappointed in you, not only have you lost Shuitou City, but this is the seventh day after losing the city, and you have not recaptured Shuitou City." In the tent of the Liao army camp outside Shuitou City, the general Yelu Dagu who arrived with 20,000 reinforcements sat on the main seat, the first position on the left hand sat the city lord Magutou of Shuitou City, and the first position on the right hand sat Li Hanguang.

The Shuitou City Lord named Magutou hurriedly stood up and said with a panicked face: "General Yelu doesn't know, the Song army in the city is extremely powerful, and the person who leads the troops is good at defending the city........."

Before Ma Gutou finished speaking, Yelu Dagu unceremoniously interrupted him: "Hmph! When did the Song army become extremely strong, as for being good at defending the city, the wall of this Shuitou City is no more than a zhang high, which is much lower than the border village of the Song Kingdom, so it can only be said that you are incompetent. ”

Ma Gutou looked ashamed, gritted his teeth and said: "Our tribal warriors are indeed incompetent, but the Xijing army brought by General Yelu must be brave and good at fighting, so it is better to fight the Xijing army in the first battle tomorrow." ”

Yelu Dagu looked at Magutou with disdain, and sneered: "You don't need such a radical method, I led the army to come, that is, to capture Shuitou City, kill all the Song people inside, tomorrow you will be optimistic, I will capture Shuitou City in a battle." ”

There's a reason why Yelu is so arrogant, he brought with him a large number of siege machines, and they are far better than those built by the local tribal craftsmen.

It's just that the next day, when he came to the outside of Shuitou City with his army, he looked at the crystal clear walls of Shuitou City.........

He was dumbfounded......
