Chapter 897

A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, and three quarters of an hour passed, and still not a single Song soldier appeared within the range of the camp's fire, which made Yelu Jinping a little confused.

"What's the matter, ask the guards in other aspects, have they found traces of the Song army there?" Jeruzinpine's majestic voice was heard again, and the nervous voice came out.

Soon, a general rushed over to report that no trace of the Song army was found in the wall he was responsible for, and the guards of the other two walls also sent people to report that they were not attacked.

"Is it a suspicious tactic? Or, if the Song people want to take the opportunity to escape, can't they? This thought crossed Yelu Hongji's mind, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

If these tens of thousands of Song troops were allowed to quietly leave Youzhou and attack the back of the Liaoxia coalition army, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Immediately send scouts out of the camp to search for the whereabouts of the Song army, quick! Especially to the south! "Yelu Jinping's military order was quickly fulfilled by the soldiers......

An hour later, the news obtained was that whether it was the south, the east, or the north, not to mention the Song army, there was not even a shadow of a ghost.

At this moment, Yelu Jinping and the generals of the coalition army beside him were confused.

"Could it be that those Song troops have already withdrawn? Or are they hiding in the dark, waiting for our army's mistakes? ”

"My lord, the last general thinks that we should send scouts in the direction of Youzhou City to see what the hell those Song people are doing."

Yelu Jinping nodded, and soon, dozens of daring scouts and horsemen were in the form of stragglers, trembling and slowly approaching in the direction of Youzhou City, because they were worried that the other party was ambushed in the dark, all the scouts were scared, and every step forward of the mount would make their hearts beat wildly.

In this way, with a speed comparable to the progress of a turtle, he arrived at a place a stone's throw away from the city wall, and was stunned to find that there was a ghost Song army, and at this moment, the defenders at the head of the city found this group of stunned scouts, and a burst of crossbow arrows came down, directly letting seven or eight unlucky ghosts go to Huangquan to die.

The rest of the scouts fled with their horses and galloped out of the range of Yuan You's crossbow, and then they took a breath.

#####

Yelu Jinping heard the report of these fleeing scouts, and the generals of the other three gates also sent messengers one after another, saying that a large number of Song troops had also left the city of Wengcheng they were facing.

The number is in the tens of thousands. Yelu Jinping was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. After a long time, those Song people actually came out to take a picture, and then slipped back in a daze?

"What are they trying to do? Humiliate us? A general beside Yelu Jinping couldn't help but pat the war knife on his waist angrily, and said in a vicious voice.

"No matter what Song Jun does, what we have to do is to stabilize and not be disturbed by Song Jun's movements." Yelu Zim glanced at the generals beside him, and could only say so.

For him, who is good at offense, it is really embarrassing to let him do this kind of defensive thing.

Fortunately, the whole night was very calm, although it was tossed for nearly two hours, but I was finally able to rest well.

However, the enemy troops outside the city have rested, but the city is still hot, and the Yuanyu stone throwers that were originally standing on the launch position have all been concentrated near the eastern city wall, and countless craftsmen and soldiers are busy.

And the whole sixteen, well, there were only twelve before, and in the rest of the month, Wang Yang asked those craftsmen to use those extra accessories to form four more Yuanyou stone throwing machines.

Now, a full sixteen Yuanyou stone throwers are lined up on a horizontal street about twenty zhang away from the city wall of Dongcheng, and one is placed every three zhang, and these tall and majestic long-range weapons are completely concentrated on one street.

It's like a group of tough and elite giants, ready to go. It was not completed until late at night, but the streets and the courtyard walls on both sides were full of soldiers, and no one was allowed to approach them.

After all, the Yuanyou stone throwing machine is still a high-precision long-range weapon unique to the Great Song Dynasty, and if it is kept secret for a long time, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to occupy the advantage for a while longer.

"The first wave of test firing!" With a low roar, the spoons of the sixteen Yuanyou stone throwers flew high into the sky, and inside the spoons, five cement bullets made of round cement were thrown into the night sky, past the city walls and towers, and flew towards the dark depths outside the city.

At this time, dozens of soldiers who had already lurked under the city quickly dispersed, moving in the direction of the city wall, with strange steps similar to Zhengbu, and by the bright silver moonlight, they began to carefully search the ground, looking for the impact marks caused by the stone bullets hitting the ground.

When the impact marks of the landing are found, and the round stone bullet that flies a few feet away is found, it will silently record the distance converted by the number of steps, of course, and take the stone bullet away, in addition, at the location of the collision mark, deliberately sprinkled some red brick debris.

"Sure? How far is the distance? ”

"My lord, from the city wall to the falling area, the distance is about seventy zhang, the difference between the front and back, that is, about three zhang......" The soldiers who were in charge of measuring outside the city had already returned to the city, and were reporting the data that needed to be collected to Wang Yang, the commander.

After Wang Yang estimated, he nodded. "Very good, enough, tomorrow we will send troops to the east gate, and the distance from the troops will be ...... Fifty, no, fifty-five feet......"

"Wouldn't it be too risky for adults to do this, it's so close......"

"Is it close? That's fifteen feet, not fifteen steps. Besides, let's stay away from the city, we have been within the cover of the Yuanyou crossbow in the city, do you think those Liaoxia coalition forces dare to attack us? ”

The big guy thought about it, if he didn't leave the protection range of Yuan You's crossbow, I was afraid that those Liaoxia coalition forces would really dare to say whether they dared to attack.

"By the way, General Zhao, haven't they come back yet?" After Wang Yang finished speaking, he turned his head and asked the planter.

"Not yet, if you don't want to be a big man, let's wait a little longer? Wait until General Zhao rushes back before making a decision? The planter said with some trepidation.

After all, if General Zhao hadn't been able to bring back the news that he had already contacted them, then it would be too risky to attack tomorrow.

Wang Yang thought about it, and could only nod dejectedly. "Okay, just wait for two more hours, if it is, if it is then, General Zhao has not returned, and tomorrow's attack plan will be canceled."

At the moment when Wang Yang and the civil and military forces of Youzhou were restless, General Zhao was leading more than a dozen cavalry, cautiously moving towards Youzhou City, which could already see the fire at the head of the city.

From time to time, he looked around vigilantly, guarding against the appearance of the rangers of the Liaoxia coalition army, which was likely to appear suddenly.
