Under the city of Datong, the Song army pushed the siege vehicle to brave the rain of arrows in the advance, although the artillery and bows and arrows in the rear have been shooting at the head of the city, but can not completely suppress the archers at the head of the city, after all, the other party is condescending, more able to play the power of the bow and arrow, in addition to the city gate has long been blocked, even with artillery bombardment can not be opened, after all, with the lesson of Xijin Mansion, the Datong guards have long been ready to deal with it.

In this case, the Song army could only use traditional siege tools, such as siege vehicles, ladders, etc., and used artillery to suppress the city head, and there were also people under the city who dug the city wall and prepared to fill the siege tube, which was a huge powder cylinder, which had to be stuffed into the city wall to be effective.

However, the Liao army at the head of the city already knew the horror of the siege tube, after all, the walls of several other states were blown up by the siege tube before, so at this time, the Liao army desperately threw down the rolling wood and stones, trying to smash the turtle cart below.

But the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty was not vegetarian, especially as long as the Liao army at the head of the city dared to take the lead, they were immediately concentrated by them, and for a time the stumps and blood on the head of the city flew together, and the screams and roars rang out.

Liu Ping rode on a horse and stood in the middle of the Chinese army, holding a telescope to look at the cruel battle for the city, although the casualties of the Liao army were very large, but the Song army also had casualties every moment, if the direct battle death was better, the worst thing was that those who were seriously injured did not die, they could only let out a terrible howl, if there was no rescue from their companions, they were often waiting for the enemy's bow and arrow.

Liu Ping looked at all this extremely calmly at this time, even if the casualties were large, he did not frown, this is not that he is cold-blooded and ruthless, but the basic quality of generals, after all, from the first day they entered the army, they understood a truth, that is, there are no immortals in war, not only the lives of others, sometimes their own lives can be thrown on the battlefield at any time.

"Boom~" With a loud bang, the cold-blooded siege tube finally exploded, and the Liao army on the head of the city was also shaken to the east and west, and the Liao army located directly above the explosion point flew directly into the sky, and it was already divided in the air, and after the dust after the explosion was dissipated, I saw that there was a gap in the city wall that collapsed nearly half, although the gap was blocked by broken masonry, but as long as you climbed up, you can kill into the city.

"The first person to enter the city will be rewarded with thousands of dollars and promoted by two levels!" Seeing that the city wall was blown up a gap, Liu Ping, who was supervising the battle in the rear, finally showed an excited look, and immediately set up a high reward, and the heralds below also immediately shouted out his reward, which also made the soldiers who heard it all in high spirits, after all, this is a sky-high reward for them, if they can get it, they don't have to worry about it in this life!

As the so-called heavy reward must have brave men, especially in the battles during this time, the Song army almost swept the sixteen states of Yanyun, which also made the Great Song soldiers establish incomparable confidence in their hearts, and the fear of the Liao State has long been thrown away, and the morale has reached a peak, especially in the sixteen states, only Datong Mansion is left, if you can't get the reward, then there will be no chance in the future.

In this case, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are also everyone scrambling for the first, after a while, there are the first batch of people to cross the gap and kill into the city, and then there is the sound of grenade explosion in the city, in addition to the sound of muskets, there are also Song troops fighting with the Liao army on the city, at this time the Liao army has been unable to support, the Song army has been killed by the Song army retreated again and again, and the area controlled by the Song army is slowly expanding.

"The overall situation has been decided, and the city is broken today!" Liu Ping saw the performance of the soldiers at the head of the city, and immediately roared excitedly, and then directly pressed the two new forces behind the palace, this time the Song army's offensive was more fierce, the Liao army at the head of the city has been driven down, and the Song army in the city also occupies a certain territory, it can be said that the victory has been laid.

Seeing this, Liu Ping of the Chinese army was also relieved, and then sent people to start cleaning up the soil and stones of the gap, the gap has been occupied by the Song army, and soon a passage was cleared, and then the cavalry galloped into the city, and the expansion of the Song army in the city was getting faster and faster, and the area controlled by the Liao army was soon compressed to the north of the city.

Now it is getting dark, but the battle does not matter day or night, especially now that the situation is favorable to the Song army, so Liu Ping also ordered the army to continue to advance and strive to take the entire Datong Mansion tonight.

The Liao army of Datong Mansion was unexpectedly tenacious, even if it lost most of the area in the city, but still refused to surrender, and even took advantage of the night to organize a few charges, and they recaptured many areas in the city, which made Liu Ping also angry and anxious, after all, only this Datong Mansion was left in the sixteen states of Yanyun, as long as it was here, the entire Yanyun would all fall into the hands of their Great Song Dynasty, and he would also fulfill the wish of countless Song people for hundreds of years.

However, although Liu Ping was in a hurry, he also knew that he was a little too impatient before, otherwise the Liao army would not seize the opportunity to recapture so many areas, so after dawn, he sent people to rotate the soldiers who fought on the front line for one night, after all, the Song army was huge, and only a part of it was used last night, so it was completely possible to rotate into battle.

In contrast, the Liao army was left with less than 10,000 people, and they were all exhausted at this time, and then Liu Ping personally commanded the army to start a street battle with the Liao army again, this time he began to advance steadily, street by street occupation, and the Liao army was also forced to retreat again and again, and finally retreated into the palace.

Datong is one of the accompanying capitals of Liao, there is naturally the emperor's palace in the city, although the emperor rarely comes to Datong, but the palace is indispensable, but the specifications are smaller, but the wall is still built high and deep, just like a city in the city, usually there are special people in the palace to take care of, and ordinary people are strictly forbidden to enter, but at this special moment, the Liao army retreated into the palace and wanted to rely on the walls of the palace to defend it.

"General, do you want to transfer artillery to blast open the city gates?" At this time, Cao Yu stepped forward and asked, there are about six to eight thousand Liao troops hiding in the palace, if these people are not eliminated, the other party may be killed from the imperial city at any time, and it is also a big threat to them, so it is better to enter the imperial city in one go and completely control the entire Datong Mansion.

Liu Ping showed a hesitant expression at this time, if it was placed in normal times, he would definitely immediately command the army to enter the imperial city, although the imperial city in front of him was very strong, and the palace wall was no worse than the real city wall, but the other party retreated into the imperial city in a hurry, and it was definitely too late to seal the city gate, and it should be possible to blast it open with artillery, but he thought of the news he received from the rear some time ago, which made him hesitate a little.
