Chapter 778

"It's finally here...... In the telescope in Wang Yang's hand, billowing smoke and dust began to appear, and a black line spread to the horizon like a black tide.

Even if they were just marching in silence, the sound of the cavalry still resounded throughout the world as the cavalry moved.

"Well, this is just their striker, there are at least fifty thousand......" Seed Master He slowly lowered the telescope in his hand and couldn't help muttering quietly.

These 50,000 soldiers and horses, all of them were cavalry, from the time they appeared on the horizon until they arrived at the city of Youzhou, but Zhu Xiang's kung fu.

Looking at the various armors, battle robes, and messy banners of these cavalry, Wang Yang actually had the leisure to identify which were the cavalry belonging to the Liao State and which were the cavalry of the northern tribes.

"It seems that the number of cavalry of those northern tribes is not much, the cavalry of the Liao State here actually accounts for 30,000, and there are 10,000 cavalry of the Xia Kingdom, and the remaining 10,000 belong to those northern tribes." Wang Yang commented while looking at it.

"This is normal, those northern tribes, although there are constant disputes all year round, and even occasionally fight with the Liao State, in this case, no matter how generous the Liao State is, it is impossible for these brave and fierce northern tribes to have too many horses, after all, the threat of cavalry is much greater than that of foot soldiers."

And under the city, the director of the 50,000 pioneers, the deputy chief Yelu Dasong, was squinting his eyes at the moment, looking at this Youzhou city that was really a little different from what he imagined.

Not only him, but also several Xia generals were also stunned at the moment. "Is this really Youzhou Prefecture? That's a little different from a few months ago. ”

You must know that a few months ago, this Youzhou City still belonged to the Western Xia, and many Western Xia generals even did not serve here, but at least they passed through this important hub city connecting the eastern part of the Western Xia and Xingqing Mansion.

However, in the past, although Youzhou City was wide enough, the thickness and height of its city walls were far from being comparable to the current Youzhou City.

What is even more exaggerated is the towering arrow tower on the city of Youzhou, the arrow tower behind the city wall that is also higher than the city wall, and the same towering and solid urn city in the four directions of Youzhou.

"The cities of the Song people are like this?" A general of the Bahei Division, his originally ambitious expression was a little black at the moment, not only him, but also a bun of northern tribes from the northern tribes who had not seen much of the world.

Wanyan Aguda, who commanded the cavalry of the Wanyan tribe on the orders of his father, was staring at this moment like a goldfish about to be thirsty to death, in Daliao, he had not seen that kind of fortress-like town, nor had he never seen a big city like Tokyo.

But I had never seen a fortress city that was almost like it had been cut out of a single block of stone.

The height of its walls is formidable, and the thickness of its walls is astonishing. The important thing is that the fortress in front of him is not like the big Liao cities that Wanyan Aguda has seen, except for the location of the city gate tower, it is all built with clay ramming and extruding barriers.

The city in front of you is very intuitive for people to appreciate its appearance completely made of red bricks.

And the appearance of these bricks is really beyond their imagination, the red bricks they have seen in the past are mostly the kind of red bricks that are two palms long and less than half a palm wide, but now, the thickness of the red bricks used in this Youzhou city is at least half a foot, and the length is at least close to one and a half feet.

"How can they burn such thick bricks?" A general of the Xia Kingdom, who knew a little about some government affairs, was full of disbelief.

"Or maybe they just fired the thin bricks and stuck them on the outer walls, so that we could mistakenly think that their walls were made of solid masonry...... said another general.

This explanation was quickly agreed by most of the generals present.

"Okay, now is not the time for small talk, spread out on all sides, hold on all sides of Youzhou, if there are still Song soldiers outside the city, they will all be killed!" The deputy governor, Yeludasong, shouted.

Soon, 50,000 iron cavalry, except for 20,000 who remained at the east gate, the rest of the cavalry scattered in all directions, as if they had encountered a torrent of solid reefs, and after bypassing Youzhou City, they were evenly scattered around Youzhou City.

Two hours later, the main force of the army had already arrived at the city of Youzhou, with a long banner and a dusty field. The cloud-like camp tent firmly encloses the entire Youzhou City in the center, which can be described as impassable.

However, the Song army in the city has always maintained a strange silence, neither planning to attack when the Liaoxia coalition army is not firmly established, nor saying that it seems panicked because it is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops.

For the Song people to be able to maintain this calm mentality, although Yelu and Lu Wei, the commanders of the Liaoxia Coalition Army, were a little uncomfortable, he also understood that now was not the time to attack.

Some of the generals who could not wait to ask for battle after the army could enter Youzhou were exhausted on the grounds that it was almost dusk and the soldiers had been exhausted after a day's march. He ordered the army to set up camp and bury pots and cook for food, and as for the attack, it was better to wait for the soldiers to rest for a night.

"Such a city, whether it is my Da Liao or the Song Kingdom, I am afraid it is extremely rare, the important thing is that in the past Youzhou City, the old man has seen it with his own eyes, compared with the city in front of him, it is simply incomparable." Xiao Wuna looked at the sunset in front of him, the color was like a burning red Youzhou City, and muttered in a low voice.

"Fortunately, this time, Xia Guo has built a large number of siege weapons, it seems that we had better wait for two more days, send people to urge, and let those siege weapons come over quickly, I don't want these warriors to rely on the ladder to make enemies of such a strong city."

Yelu and Lu Wei stroked their thick beards and said in a deep voice, he had no doubt about the capture of Youzhou City at this point, but such a strong city defense only increased the difficulty of the capture.

However, the purpose of Yelu and Lu Wei to lead hundreds of thousands of troops here is not just to take a Youzhou, but to take Youzhou, Hongzhou, and Yanzhou, so as to show the great military might of Daliao.

Let the Song people realize that the Great Liao, which has not been engaged in military affairs for decades, is still so strong and brave, and only in this way can they obtain greater benefits for the Great Liao.

After seizing the land of Sanzhou, and then continue to negotiate with the Song State and the Western Xia, in the face of strength, I believe that both the Western Xia, which is already weak, and the Song State, which is already a little fluttering, will obediently bend their waists and lower their heads.
