In less than a dozen breaths before and after, the Liao people lost more than 700 people at once, and the flesh and blood of people and horses in one place, coupled with the terrifying explosion and the terrifying scene of flying sand and rocks, as well as the two extra big pits on the ground, made every Liao soldier from Yelu Dagu and Ma Gutou and Li Hanguang down to feel cold and frightened.

Human beings are always afraid of the unknown, not to mention that all the Liao people have witnessed the tremendous lethality brought by this unknown terrorist weapon.

Therefore, after these two explosives packages, the morale of the Liao army suddenly fell to the bottom, and Yelu Dagu was frightened and resentful, and was forced to give the order to blow the horn of the troops in advance.

…………

The siege was still going on the next day, and Yelu Dagu rode his horse and looked at the fierce battlefield in front of him from afar. The red, white and scorched black colors filled almost everything in front of them, at this time, they finally rushed to the head of the city a team of elite warriors and the defenders began to fight fiercely, which lasted for a short time, and the Liao people finally attacked the gap in the city, and was taken by the defenders.

Because the Song people still dropped a terrifying weapon that could make a loud noise from the city, they directly blew up the continuous follow-up reinforcement line of the Liao people on the spot, and the elite warriors of the Liao army who attacked the city had no support, and they were like water without a source, and they were quickly killed by the Song army.

This is not the first time that such a situation has occurred, Yelu Dagu organized a thousand dead soldiers today, and attacked the city several times, all of which were easily resolved by the Song army with the same means, but the city was not broken, but most of the 1,000 elite dead soldiers were buried.

The Liao army has always been famous for its ferocity in field battles, and the Liao army has always thought that as long as they attack the city and engage in short-handed combat, they will be able to rapidly expand the results of the battle.

Now it seems that the Song army dared to go deep into their Liao country to seize a city, and it really came prepared.

Coupled with the previous five-day siege of the tribal army, it has been 17 days since the Liao army attacked Shuitou City, and the 17 days have been fierce battles every day, the Liao tribal army and the Xijing army have a total of nearly 40,000 people, and now there are more than 17,000 dead and wounded, and there are more than 2,000 wounded who have basically lost their combat effectiveness.

It is conceivable that in another two or three days, more than half of the Liao army will be killed and wounded.

The fight was so fierce, but Yelu Dagu, Li Hanguang, and Ma Gutou did not expect it before, and with such a large number of casualties, they didn't know how long they would have to fight before they could see the dawn of victory.

The battle in the night gradually stopped, and the noise of the day ceased, and the smell of blood and scorching blood filled the air.

The defenders sat down inside the city walls, there was sticky blood on the city walls, this battlefield was fought from late autumn to early winter, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and now the blood above and below the city had begun to freeze, and the corpses under the city walls gradually turned into hideous ice sculptures.

The cries of the women and children of the Liao people in Shuitou City have been continuous, that is, the man who was forced by the Song army to transport siege equipment to the city during the day died, and the women and children in the family were crying miserably.

Zhang Bin stood on the tower of the city wall, listening to these cries, his eyes were unbearable for a moment, but in the end, his expression returned to firmness.

This is a war between two countries, and during the war, in order to win by unscrupulous means, and even do everything has long become a common knowledge since ancient times, because his mercy to the Liao people represents the cruelty to the Song soldiers he brought to Shuitou City, he does not force these Liao people to help repair the city wall, to the city head to transport the city defense equipment, these things have to be done by the Song soldiers, and people's energy is limited, the soldiers he brings are also limited, and the chain reaction will also increase the death and injury of the Song army.

What's more, in the long run, if they don't come to occupy Shuitou City, the Liao people's looting and persecution of the Song State will be endless, and their greed will only expand more and more, and the people at the border will not know how many people will be looted and killed by the Liao.

Zhang Bin looked up at the stars in the night sky and muttered to himself: "Since the Song and Liao have formed a mortal enmity since more than a hundred years ago, and the Liao people are excessively demanding, then the only way to be peaceful for a few years can only be peace if the Liao people are hurt once." ”

When he said this, Zhang Bin's eyes flashed, and he secretly said: "Now that the Liao people have lost 8,000 elites in the great victory of the Flying Fox Path, presumably the nine military villages can also let the Liao people leave a lot of corpses, and this time the Liao army outside the city will suffer heavy casualties, although it will not make the vitality of the Liao State greatly damaged, but it will also make the Liao people no longer dare to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, the most important thing is to make His Majesty the Great Song Emperor and the civil officials who are afraid of the Liao change their views, and this is the most important thing." ”

In the camp of the Liao army, Yelu Dagu's face was so gloomy that he could drip ink, he had never thought that it would be so difficult to attack Shuitou City, and the losses would be so heavy.

"Who made that unbelievably accurate stone throwing machine, and that terrifying weapon like thunder, damn it, we couldn't capture Shuitou City for a long time, and we suffered such heavy losses, these two things were harmed." Yelu gritted his teeth and hated.

"General Yelu, how can we fight this battle now, if we continue to fight, our losses will be more and more, and it will be impossible to capture Shuitou City." Ma Gutou said with a dejected face.

"What to do?" Yelu Dagu said angrily, "Naturally, we have to continue fighting, and we must defeat Shuitou City." ”

"But it's ............ way to play"

"Of course you have to think of a way!"

After a pause, Yelu Dagu gritted his teeth and said: "The sky is very cloudy tonight, and there is no light of stars and moons, so we will attack at night." ”

"Night attack? General, this is not easy! Magutou and several clan leaders shook their heads one after another, it was very difficult to attack the city during the day, let alone at night.

These days, after losing a lot of money in the first few days, the Xijing army forced the local tribal army to attack the city, and now the original tribal army of nearly 20,000 is less than 5,000 people.

It is conceivable that after this battle, the dozen or so tribes near Shuitou City have been crippled, and there are not enough warriors in the tribes, and they are only waiting to be annexed by other tribes.

Therefore, by now, the morale of the local Liao tribal army has almost dropped to the bottom, and the ten tribal leaders, including Magutou, actually don't want to fight.

"It's not easy for us to attack, but it's even harder for the Song army to defend! And they didn't think we'd be attacking the city at night. Yelu Dagu's cold eyes swept over the ten tribal leaders, and under his gaze, no one dared to object, and Magutou also wanted to speak and stopped.

"The Xijing army dispatched 2,000 dead soldiers, your tribes sent out 300 dead soldiers, gathered enough 5,000 dead soldiers, and the others were ready to support in the rear, even if all the 5,000 people were killed tonight, the city must be broken, and after the city was broken, the Song army would never be our opponent, and they would all be killed when the time came!" Yelu Dagu looked hideous and crazy.
