"If the expectation is not bad, the army withdrawn by Fusui should have also arrived near Yulin, and may be storming Yulin City, whether it can be captured or not, it won't be long before they will move south. The retreating army is just a breath, as long as we hold them for a round of attacks, as soon as the morale is gone, they will retreat. As for the enemy army in front of them, if they attacked, they didn't have to fight back with all their might, as long as they didn't get within fifty paces of the city wall. Again, no one is allowed to leave the city until the battle is over. ”

All the generals claimed to be.

They themselves knew very well what this battle meant to them, and they were recruited into the Xuanwei Army for a high salary, and secondly, to one day obtain meritorious service, be awarded an official position, and get ahead. Song and Jin negotiated peace, the two sides stopped fighting, in other armies, they as ordinary soldiers or officers, it is almost impossible to have the opportunity to be promoted, and the newly formed Xuanwei Army is different, there are a lot of opportunities to make meritorious contributions, and this is indeed the case, although they have not yet been sealed by the imperial court, but this war is over, they will have it.

"Now let's talk about how to defend the city. There are hills outside the east gate, the trees are thick, and it is not conducive to the deployment of the army, and the most favorable direction for the enemy is only the north and west of the city, so our defense focus is also in these two directions. Su Zhong, once the fight starts, your mobile forces will focus on supporting the north and west of the city......"

Yuan Hua and Liu Shi took on the important tasks of the west gate and the north gate, Zhang Dai and Yao Chang guarded the east gate and the south gate, Su Zhong led a battalion of Xuanwei army and 3,000 young men to empty the flammable things within ten zhang of the city wall, and was ready to support the north and west of the city, while Yang Congyi led the remaining Xuanwei army and Liangshan Qingzhuang to maintain law and order in the city, protect the granaries and armory, and replace the casualties of the soldiers at each gate at any time.

After preparing for a day, the enemy forces outside the city launched a simultaneous attack from the four gates in the early morning of the next day.

The army of black pressure was divided into four parts, and a hundred and fifty paces away from the city gate were arrayed with arrows, and with a command, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison.

Arrows roared down from the sky, nailed to the walls, or fell into the city.

Three orders, three rounds of arrow rain, looking from the city to the city, there is no longer a single figure.

Another trumpet sounded, and the enemy gathered his bows and arrows, and rushed forward a hundred and ten paces to reach the moat.

At this moment, an order sounded from the city, and immediately a rain of arrows flew out and fell on the heads of the enemy.

Encountered a sharp arrow attack, the enemy's front army dropped the equipment, turned around and retreated, hugged his head and fled, the formation was chaotic in an instant, the Chinese army saw the counterattack on the city, immediately stopped advancing, under the order, began to organize a counterattack, but the distance was too close when the charge was made, in a hurry, pull and make up, there was no room for the bow to shoot arrows.

In the confusion, the enemy withstood the second round of arrow rain with his body, and the front army could not retreat, and the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape in the arrow rain quickly began to flee horizontally, out of the range of sharp arrows, and the front army suddenly fell apart.

After the third round of arrow rain fell, the front army broke and fled, and there was not much left, and the Chinese army instantly became the front army, but it could not advance or retreat.

After a huge attack and three rounds of sharp arrows were fired, the two sides fell into an awkward standoff.

The enemy army could not be used, and did not dare to step forward, and the rear road was blocked by the rear army, and the Xuanwei army and Liangshan Qingzhuang in the city were ordered not to attack with all their strength, and the range of bows and arrows could only play six or seven percent of their normal ability, even if they shot another round of arrows, they could not reach the area where the enemy's middle army was located.

After holding each other for half an hour, the enemy army left a place of corpses and siege equipment and retreated a mile to reorganize the attack, obviously they misjudged the strength of the defenders of Liangshan, thinking that three rounds of arrow rain could destroy the city's defenses, but they did not want to suffer a loss, so that the first confident attack was blocked.

After the enemy retreated temporarily, the Xuanwei army and Qingzhuang immediately lifted down the wooden planks covering the battlements, quickly pulled out the arrows on them, and then put them back again.

In less than half an hour, one or two thousand intact arrows were collected.

The arrows they had collected were piled up under the battlements, and they had to return them later.

Looking at the wooden plank above their heads that shaded the sun, there was no longer the slightest nervous look on everyone's faces.

Just now the first round of arrows rain fell, hearing the sound of sharp arrows nailed into the plank, their hearts trembled, fortunately the plank on the head withstood the first round of attacks, and then blocked the second and third rounds of attacks, none of the arrows could penetrate the plank, when they took the arrows, they found that the planks were very strong, the arrows were only half in, it was impossible to shoot through, there was such a defense, where was the enemy arrow array still the slightest threat to them, the enemy approached, they just had to fight back.

Three rounds of arrow rain, only a few are under the city, the young man who did not dodge was injured by the arrow, and there was almost no other damage to the four gates, and the confidence of the defender was greatly increased, with the previous experience, the next time he shot against the hostile, he would be fearless.

The Xuanwei army is condescending and can clearly see the enemy's every move, while the enemy army is outside the city, and the position is low and there is no shelter on the city, even on the hill slightly higher in the east of the city, because it is two miles away from the city, the situation on the city cannot be seen from the hill, and the enemy army does not know what defenses there are in the city, and there is no way to crack it.

After preparing for half a day, the enemy troops outside the city organized another attack, and the arrow array was one hundred and fifty paces away, and after three rounds of arrow rain, there was no counterattack on the city, and after a quarter of an hour, they advanced fifty paces down the city, and fired three more times.

On the city wall, between the cracks in the bricks and stones, countless arrows were nailed, and the slightest movement could not be heard in the city, no matter what, Liangshan City must be taken as soon as possible.

The commander of the enemy army gave an order, and the order spread throughout the army.

The whole army opened its bow and fired freely, and the arrows rained down continuously, and the siege troops of the front army, under the cover of the bows and arrows of the rear army, carried the ladder and other equipment to the city, howling in their mouths, and approached the city like flying.

They advanced ten, twenty, and thirty paces, and there was no movement in the city until they approached the moat, which was only a dozen zhang away from the city wall, and were about to cross the moat three zhang wide in one go, when a rain of arrows fell on their heads without warning.

The team stagnated, in the midst of the confusion, looked up, and saw that the enemy was on the city, and the enemy was aiming at them with bows and arrows between the battlements, and he was immediately frightened, and turned around to flee.

At such a close distance, the sharp arrows flashed in, and the enemy troops preparing to attack the city could not dodge at all, and there was nowhere to dodge, and they were killed by the arrows immediately.

In a few moments, with the exception of the enemy troops, who were still at the head of the city with their bows and arrows at a distance of a hundred paces, none of the enemy troops who came forward were spared, and all of them fell, most of them were dead, and a few were still on the ground*.

Unable to cover the attack, nor to save people, the suppression of the arrow array in the distance stopped, and the second attack ended in much the same way.

But the dense enemy army was surrounded by a hundred paces and refused to leave.

Liangshan can't take it, won't they run for nothing? It must not end like this, there are still more than 10,000 troops, just a small city in Liangshan, how can there be a reason not to take it, the enemy commander is not convinced, as long as he is given time, he will definitely come up with a way!

When the enemy began the second attack, Yang Congyi climbed to the north gate and watched the enemy attack. Long-range arrow arrays suppressed, the siege troops quickly assaulted, if there was no decent defense on the city, they could easily cross the moat and reach the city gates, but unfortunately they miscalculated the preparations on the city.

Seeing that many enemy soldiers under the city were still struggling on the ground and among the dead bodies, some soldiers of the Xuanwei Army shot them with arrows, and immediately frowned, and urgently ordered: "Do not replenish the wounded soldiers under the city, let them go back." ”

The herald quickly conveyed the military order to the four divisions and demanded that they comply with it.

Seeing that the enemy army was besieging the city and would not retreat, and that it might attack again at any time, he ordered someone to shout to the enemy army, which could give them half an hour to bring back the wounded.

The generals were very puzzled, and did not let the arrows be shot, and let the enemy bring back the wounded soldiers, what is the reason, how can there be such a war? As soon as the order was given, the guards of each gate immediately sent someone to verify whether the military order was wrong.

Yang Congyi said: "The military order is correct, and it will be followed." I'll explain that later. ”

Yuan Hua, the guard of the north gate, was also very puzzled, and when he heard what the prison army said, he temporarily pressed the doubts in his heart, and immediately ordered the young men in the city to shout to the enemy, stop fighting for half an hour, and let them send someone to rescue the wounded soldiers.

After shouting a few times, the enemy army had no intention of approaching a hundred paces away, obviously not believing that the Xuanwei army would be so kind.

Seeing this, the city shouted again and told the enemy that they would be given only half an hour, and that after half an hour they would clean up the wounded soldiers under the city.

As soon as these words came out, you could see from a distance that the enemy camp began to stir, and those wounded soldiers were their comrades, fellow villagers and comrades-in-arms, all of whom were still alive, how could they not be saved?

However, the commander of the enemy army was worried that this was a conspiracy, and he wanted to shoot their rescue troops under the city while they were going to bring back the wounded soldiers, or for other purposes.

But he listened to the screams and screams of the wounded soldiers, and listened to the discussions of his subordinate soldiers, and after a while, the state of the whole army changed, and just now the morale was still high, and they were ready to regroup and fight again, and now their attention instantly shifted to the question of whether to save people and how to save people.

It was getting late, and the soldiers were angry, and today's battle could not continue.

The commander is helpless, no matter whether the other party is sincere or not, whether there is a conspiracy or not, these wounded soldiers cannot but be saved. So he immediately ordered that all the wounded soldiers be brought back safely at no cost.

With an order, the enemy sent a small team to slowly approach the city, cautiously approaching the wounded soldiers.

"Order, no one is allowed to shoot without authorization, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!" Seeing the enemy attacking, Yang Congyi immediately gave another order.

The heralds quickly went to the gates to give orders.

Approaching step by step, keeping their eyes fixed on the city, and making sure that no arrows were flying down from the city, the first group of enemy troops lifted a wounded soldier who was not dead thirty zhang away and quickly withdrew.

After the first wounded soldier was successfully rescued, the enemy simply threw away his weapons in order to save all the wounded soldiers as soon as possible.

One, two, three...... By sunset, hundreds of wounded soldiers had been rescued, and not a single arrow had been fired from the city.

This out, not only the enemy army was puzzled, but the Xuanwei army was also puzzled, and they didn't know what the purpose was.
