Chapter 348: I don't know the meaning of the yellow finch 13

Hearing the shouts of the defenders at the head of the city, Liu Yanqing and Wang Anzhong were shocked, they didn't hear that there was any army around them that could threaten Yanjing City, and where did these soldiers and horses come from? I don't know how many men and horses there are, but just listening to the dull sound of the horse's horses galloping on the ground, I know that this horse will not be less than 5,000 horsemen.

I didn't think much about it at the moment, Liu Yanqing fled back to the city with his personal guards and Wang Anzhong, and those who saw off Zhao Fujin were not worried, and the emperor with the Song soldiers was their own people for them. But if they were late to enter the city, the gates were closed, and a group of people were busy hiding in the city, and each of them went home to report.

Liu Yanqing and Wang Anzhong ran up the city wall together, and looked at the west of the city where the voice came, only to see that the west outside the city was black, wearing the armor of the soldiers, and rushed towards Yanjing City. The Song army on the city wall watched these cavalry kill under the city, in addition to shouting and shouting, there were no generals to stand up to organize the defense, and the defenders were also sparse, I don't know where they were hiding.

Yelu Yujian and Gao Liu led 7,000 cavalry troops to Yanjing City, Yelu Yujian first glanced at the defenders in the city, couldn't help laughing, turned his head to Gao Liu and said, "God really help me to wait." I only heard that there were 40,000 Song troops in this city, but in my opinion, it was just boasting. ”

Gao Liu glanced at it and saw that although there were many flags on the city wall, there were few soldiers defending the city, and there were no generals in charge, and those soldiers were just looking at them fixedly, but they didn't know what to do.

Yelu Yu said: "Let's not wait for the chariots and big shield chariots to attack the city behind, the soldiers should hurry up, take advantage of the loose defense, and let the sons and daughters attack the city with flying ladders." Yelu Yu saw that the 6,000 of them were all cavalry, and there were 1,000 infantry troops behind them, carrying the ladder carts, wooden mallet carts, and large shield carts that Gao Liu had prepared in the past two days, and they would not be able to arrive for a while.

Gao Liu nodded, such a loose defense, if you miss it, you can't regret it. Gao Liu's first order, the six thousand cavalry immediately dispersed, some shot arrows at the head of Yanjing City on the spot, and some jumped off their horses, crossed the river with a light flying ladder, and began to attack the city with flying ladders.

The flying ladder is lighter than ordinary ladders, but it is much longer than ordinary ladders, and there is an iron hook at the top end of the ladder, which is very difficult to fall off after being hooked on the city head.

The location they attacked in the sixth year was the Danfeng Gate, just because the Danfeng Gate was close to the west and adjacent to the palace. According to Yelu Yujian's arrangement, his pro-soldiers who infiltrated the palace would choose the opportunity to set fire to the city, and this step had been completed, and they immediately rushed to the city when they saw the fire in the city.

After their siege began, these inner soldiers would climb the city wall from the palace and kill the soldiers defending the city from the inside, so that the army outside the city could easily attack, as long as enough soldiers went up to the city wall, this Yanjing City would be considered a breakthrough.

Therefore, Yelu Yujian and Gao Liu did not wait for the army to rest for a while, and immediately began to attack the city, just to attack the guards inside and outside, and capture Yanjing City in one fell swoop.

Although there were few Song soldiers at the head of the city, they also knew their responsibilities after being stunned, and they fought back one after another, some shooting arrows at the opposite side, and some using the ready-made rolling logs and stones on the city wall to smash down those enemy soldiers who climbed the ladder.

Liu Yanqing, who had already woken up from the shock, hurriedly asked his soldiers to blow the trumpet and give orders, ordering all battalions to rush to the city to defend against the enemy. Liu Yanqing personally commanded the defenders to step up the counterattack, striving to repel the enemy's attack before the soldiers and horses in the city arrived.

But there were too few arrows on the city. In this northern expedition to Yanjing City, Tong Guan originally didn't have any belongings for Liu Yanqing, and the soldiers were not even in armor and patients, not to mention arrows. What's more, when attacking Yanjing, he was already running out of arrows.

Since entering Yanjing City, seeing that there is no trace of the soldiers, and Wanshengjun is also gone, safe and sound, Liu Yanqing only thinks about when Emperor Maode will leave and how he can loot in this Yanjing City, but he forgot to send a request for arrows, weapons and other things. When Wan Shengjun left, he didn't leave a single arrow for him. So after the first wave of counterattacks, the Song soldiers had no arrows, so they could only rely on things to smash down.

Compared with the menacing army under the city, there are even fewer soldiers and horses in the city, and Liu Yanqing only learned after asking that even the brave soldiers who defended the city went down to the city to fight the autumn wind, and they have not come back yet.

Liu Yanqing hurriedly ordered his own pro-army to blow a trumpet and give an order, and the pro-army puffed up their cheeks and blew the horn to the city at the head of the city, and only a few soldiers came out of the camp tent and rushed to the head of the city.

Seeing that Liu Yanqing was still urging, a pro-soldier hurriedly whispered to Liu Yanqing: "Early this morning, all the battalions heard that General Xiao Liu had raided the largest Hanji leather store in the city, and they all went out early. ”

Liu Yanqing couldn't care about being ruthless now, so he sent two pro-troops to transfer some of the defenders on the other sections of the city wall first, and asked Wang Anzhong to take a few of his pro-troops down to requisition and transfer people to various parts of the city, and transport wood, stones, iron pots, water and other things to the city, ready for later use. Wang Anzhong had long felt bad on the city wall, and knew that at this time, he should only work together to keep Yanjing, so he hurriedly took a few people down to gather the people.

Yelu Yujian and Gao Liu were very excited under the city, both of them were used to the battlefield, and they already knew after a try that this siege was too easy, and the defenders of the city were short of people and arrows. As soon as he saw him, he was left to carry the stone and smash it down, it is said that the southerners are rich and wealthy, and there will be no shortage of weapons!

The two just urged their subordinates again and again to step up the siege. The cavalry standing in place shot arrows like rain at the Song soldiers, and the Song soldiers only relied on stones and wood to repel these soldiers who climbed the ladder, and there was no way to suppress the cavalry soldiers who shot arrows on the opposite side, and they lacked armor and body protection.

The defenders above had no arrows, and the soldiers who climbed the ladder to attack the city were all brave, and the stones and wood smashed on the body was nothing more than a pain, but when they climbed to the city, it was a great reward.

It is rare for such a famous, strong and tall city as Yanjing City to be forced by a group of soldiers who use ant-attached tactics to attack the city in history.

It's just that Yelu Yu still feels that there are some shortcomings. It is said that after his own pro-army set fire to the city, he will definitely find an opportunity to rush to the palace, wait for himself to start attacking the city outside, and then immediately go to the city to provide convenience for his siege here.
