Cao Mata's army stormed for ten days, but Anle City was still held by the Liao army, even though the Song army had entered the city many times, and even occupied a small part of the city, but still could not drive the Liao army out of the city.

It is worth mentioning that Yelu Renxian was mad in order to defend the city, he actually dug countless tunnels under the city of Anle, and could reach any place in the city in all directions.

Of course, after the initial chaos, the Song army also found a way to deal with it, the first thing they did when they attacked the city was to find the entrance of the tunnel, and then plant explosives at the entrance, if the Liao army dared to take the lead, it would be detonated immediately, not only to blow up the tunnel, but also to bury the underground Liao army alive, it can be said that the two sides are almost doing everything for this war.

And at the critical moment of the stalemate, the news of Zhao Zhen's imperial drive finally reached the army, and now Zhao Zhen's royal drive is to Youzhou in the rear, that is, the original Liao State Nanjing, which is very close to Gubeikou, and the messenger who sent the letter also brought a large number of materials to reward the soldiers in the army.

After all, in this era, the emperor is not only the ruler of the empire, but also the ultimate allegiance of the generals in the army, especially those generals who have graduated from martial arts, they have been loyal to the monarch and patriotic education for many years, so they are more enthusiastic about Zhao Zhen's arrival.

"Kill, kill~" As the sun rises in the east, a new round of attacks begins again, a few days ago, the Song army has entered Anle City, and established a solid stronghold, these days is mainly to expand the stronghold outward as much as possible, but the resistance of the Liao army is also very tenacious, so the speed of outward expansion of the stronghold is also extremely slow.

However, yesterday the news of Zhao Zhen's personal expedition came, but the morale of the entire army was fanatical, plus Zhao Zhen also transported a lot of materials this time, and the materials in the army were sufficient, so the results achieved yesterday were also great, and now nearly one-third of the area of Anle City has fallen into the hands of the Song army, if you perform well today, you may be able to completely take Anle City.

Li Zhang rode on a horse and stood beside Cao Yu, he was the messenger sent by Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen as the emperor could not come to the army in person, but Li Zhang did not have this restriction, so he took the initiative to ask to come to the army in person, intending to witness this far-reaching war with his own eyes.

"Boom~" With the beginning of the offensive, there were bursts of explosions in Anle City, which was the Song army using gunpowder to blow up the defense line of the Liao army, and there were also shooting sounds like popping beans, as well as the explosion of grenades, it can be said that if you close your eyes now, you will definitely think that this is a war dominated by hot weapons, but in fact, although firearms are greatly used in the Song army, the main force on the battlefield is still cold weapons.

"Report~, the defense line of the Liao army in the west of the city has been broken, and General Xu has led the army into the central block of Anle City!" As soon as the war began, I saw that some heralds came to report quickly.

Cao Yu was also overjoyed when he heard this, the west of the city was the focus of the Liao army's defense, and it was the material concentration of Anle City, as long as it occupied there, the Liao army would be equivalent to losing supplies, and Anle City was equivalent to breaking half.

With the west of the city being broken, the next good news is like knocking down a domino, one after another good news came, the defense line of the Liao army in the city was broken one after another, and the Liao army could only shrink and shrink, seeing that Anle City was about to be broken.

"Report~, the north gate of Anle City has been opened, and the Liao army seems to be preparing to retreat!" At this time, suddenly another horse came to report that Cao Ma concentrated the army at the south gate, and the other two gates also arranged troops to contain them, but only let go of the north gate, which is the "encirclement of three que" in the art of war.

However, although there were no troops behind him, Cao Ma did not let go of it, but arranged a lot of probe horses to watch, and now he heard the north gate open, which made him immediately order: "General Huyan ordered his cavalry to be ready, as long as the enemy army sends troops, immediately start intercepting!" ”

As early as a few days ago, Cao Ma ordered Huyan Shouxin to lead a cavalry to ambush outside the north gate, mainly to prevent the other party from evacuating Anle City, and now it is finally used.

With the issuance of the order, Cao Yu also became very excited at this time, during this time his pressure was also very great, as the main force of the attack on Liao, he has been blocked under the city of Anle, in contrast, Di Qing, who is only an assistant, led the army deep into the Liao realm, and now he has even hit Shangjing, plus Zhao Zhen is even the royal driver, now behind him, if he can't get any more results, then he is too much of a general.

"Brother Cao, Yeluren is a talent first, it would be better if he could be captured alive!" At this time, Li Zhang also smiled and said, he wanted to recruit Yelu Renxian back then, but unfortunately the other party refused, and now if he can capture the other party alive, there may be a glimmer of hope.

"Don't worry, I have ordered my soldiers to capture Yeluren alive as much as possible, but anything can happen during a war, and if he is unlucky enough to die in the chaos, there is no way." Cao Mata said that in the end, he was also a hand-to-hand deal, and the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, even he, the main general, could not fully grasp it.

"I know that, just do your best!" Li Zhang also nodded after hearing this, he is no stranger to the battlefield, so naturally he will not force it, for example, if Yeluren is martyred when the first city is broken, I am afraid that only Da Luo Jinxian can save the other party.

At the same time, on a tall building in the direction of the north gate of Anle City, Yeluren first looked at the beacon fires everywhere in the city, and the whole person was like ashes, although he had long expected that Anle City might not be able to hold it, but he didn't expect it to fall so quickly, originally he planned that if he could defend Anle City for a month or two, then it would greatly slow down the Song army's offensive speed, even if the other party killed Zhongjing City, but at that time, the cold winter was coming, I am afraid that the Song army would not last long.

But what Yeluren didn't expect was that Anle City was breached in only twenty days, according to the previous weather, even if the first snow wanted to fall, I am afraid it would take a month and a half, but could Zhongjing City really hold out for a month and a half?

"General, while the Song army has not blocked the north gate yet, let's retreat quickly, it will be too late!" At this moment, I saw Xiao Hui come forward and persuade that Anle City had exhausted all methods until now, but the Song army's offensive was too fierce, and now they only had the only way to withdraw their troops.
