Except for Niu Gao's West Gate, which did not attack, the other three gates were all subjected to the fierce attack of the Song army.

Fortunately, the government soldiers of the four great families supported in time, so that the Liao army barely held the city gate.

However, the total number of soldiers of the four great families is only 5,000, and the number of troops in each gate is only more than 1,000 troops at each gate. In the case of several times the strength of the Liao army, these government soldiers cannot play an absolute role.

"Kill!"

A roar that shook the nine heavens sounded among the Song army, and Wang Gui pointed to the city wall and shouted, "The marshal has an order!" The first time you climbed the city wall, you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and you will be promoted to three levels in a row! ”。

Stimulated by the glory and disgrace of the country and the glory and wealth, a group of Song soldiers desperately hit the city gate with a ladder.

According to normal speaking, relying on a heavy city like Tianshui City, even if the strength is less than several times, the Liao army can defend it for ten days and eight days.

Yue Fei took advantage of the night to catch the Liao army off guard, and then blatantly asked Wang Gui and Xu Qing to storm the south gate, and secretly assigned soldiers to surround the other two city gates. The simultaneous attack of the three gates completely disrupted the defensive rhythm of the Liao army.

Overnight, it was enough for the Song army to break open a city gate, as long as any city gate was broken, Tianshui City would be taken.

At the head of the South Gate City, Li He had a trace of decadence on his face. He knew that Shuicheng was afraid that it was going to change hands this day, and his heart was full of unwillingness and doubts.

A month ago, the spies of the Liao army said in a secret report that the Song army would raid Shuiyang County in half a month, and the inside and outside should join forces to take Hainan Pass.

However, after a month, the Song army remained still, which made Li He and the people above think that the spies of the Liao State were reversed by the Song State policy. Even so, Li He still ordered all cities in Shuiyang County to strengthen their vigilance.

One day or two is fine, a month of day and night vigilance, no one wants to be meticulous in the middle of the night in the cold wind.

It was precisely because of this carelessness that when Yue Fei's army attacked the city two miles outside the city, it made the Liao soldiers raise the alarm bell. One step slow, one step at a time. Yue Fei seized the panicked performance of the Liao army and formulated a way to attack this round of fast attack.

"Boom! Boom! Bang!"

"The gates are open, everyone is inside!"

"Kill!"

Although the South Gate had more than 5,000 troops, the soldiers were already exhausted after experiencing the two-wheeled battle. He was the first to be breached.

"Sons and daughters of the Song Kingdom! Kill me in! Avenge the folks and elders of the Song Kingdom! ”

After speaking, Xu Qing's iron spear was like a swimming dragon, sweeping and collapsing, and directly overturned the seven or eight Liao soldiers blocking the city gate.

Li He looked at the precarious situation under the city, and shouted, "Iron Shield Battalion, stop it for me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who resisted the Song army suddenly retreated, and hundreds of soldiers wearing iron armor held iron shields to block the city gate.

"Protection!"

Suddenly, a large array composed of hundreds of iron shields directly sealed the gate of the city, making it difficult for the Song army to enter for half a point.

Li He yelled at the soldiers next to him, "Pour tung oil!" Seal the road for me! ”

The three soldiers next to him hurriedly lifted the wooden barrel filled with tung oil next to it, aimed it at the city gate below, and prepared to fall.

At this moment, there was a roaring sound of wind in the air in the distance.

When the sound died down, the three soldiers fell to the ground with an arrow hanging from their chests.

"Who!"

Li He looked shocked and followed the direction where the arrow was shooting...

On the handsome car two hundred meters away, Yue Fei was wearing silver armor and red robes, and the longbow in his hand was slowly put down...

"The marshal is mighty! The marshal is mighty! ”

The soldiers of the Song army roared in unison, and their morale was completely stimulated by Yue Fei's archery technique.

Xu Qing looked back at Yue Fei in the handsome car and smiled, and then turned his head, and the aura of the whole person became fierce.

The iron spear suddenly aimed at an iron shield in the middle and poked it fiercely, and the strength of the second-rate knight came out with all his strength, and the Liao soldiers behind the iron shield were violently shocked by a single shot several meters.

"Chisel!"

With Xu Qing's roar, the spears of the Song soldiers stabbed fiercely at the Liao army's iron shield array in the shape of an awl.

Even though it was difficult for the spear to break through the defense of the iron shield, the Song army was victorious, and under the suppression of more than ten times the number of people, the iron shield battalion of the Liao army gradually lost its physical strength, and was suppressed and retreated by the Song army step by step.

Even though Li He asked the soldiers on the city wall to organize defense, he was suppressed by the Song army's arrow rain every time...

"Kill!"

Finally, under Xu Qing's attack again, the Song army was like a torrent that scattered the Liao army's iron shield array.

"It's over~"

Li He sat on the head of the city decadently, watching the overwhelming Song army enter the south gate, and knew that there was no way out.

"Yue Fei... It seems that my Da Liao is in trouble this time..."

When he came back to his senses, hundreds of Song soldiers boarded the city gate and killed the Liao soldiers one by one.

"Sons and daughters of Da Liao! Even if we die, we will never surrender! ”

After shouting, Li He pulled out his sword and angrily killed the two Song soldiers next to him.

"Never surrender!"

Li He's words made the panicked Liao army have a little more fighting spirit in their eyes, and they all swore to resist to the death......

At three o'clock, the night gradually faded, and the sky was half brighter.

Yue Fei led a group of generals into the Taishou Mansion.

"Niu Gao, is there any omission of the Liao army that escaped from the city?"

Niu Gao replied, "Marshal Qiyu, the Liao army that escaped from the West Gate was all killed, a total of more than 3,000 people!" ”

Yue Fei nodded slightly, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said, "Where is the scout captain!" ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"Ben Shuai ordered you to find out the situation of Liecheng and Tianyang City within one day!"

"No!"

"Xu Qing!"

"The last general!"

"Quickly count the number of casualties and immediately put all the military doctors into treatment. If the doctors are not enough, then bring the doctors of the whole city. I hope that in the next battle, the soldiers of our army will still fight! ”

"No!"

"Wang Gui!"

"The last general!"

"Quickly organize a group of patrol teams, Ben Shuai doesn't want a burning, killing and looting thing to happen in the city!"

Hearing this, Wang Gui frowned slightly, and said, "Marshal, our army's coastal road raid this time, the food is only enough for 100,000 troops to support ten days. If you don't 'borrow' some food from the city, I'm afraid..."

Yue Fei stopped and interrupted Wang Gui's words, saying, "My Song State has constant friction with Liaojin, and there is still the oppression of Chu State in the south, so it is not appropriate to annoy Liao State too much. Besides, if there are no accidents planned, ten days of food will be enough to take Hainan Pass! After speaking, Yue Fei glanced around at the generals and said, "Although we don't move the people's things, there should be a lot of grain in the granary of Tianshui City, and with our food, it is enough to support our plan." ”

There are only about 100,000 people in Tianshui City, and if you want to support the military rations of an army of 100,000, you can undoubtedly only come to a sweeping raid. If this is the case, it will not take ten days and a half to the city that day, and there will be a large number of starving people. Considering these problems, Yue Fei rejected Wang Gui's idea.

Wang Gui was still a little uneasy and asked, "Marshal, just give Zhang Xian 30,000 soldiers and horses, can you take those two cities?" ”

"It will take at least one to two days for the Liao army to get the news, plus the time it takes to gather troops and march. Zhang Xian Yang Zaixing has three days. If they can't take two small cities with a few thousand people in three days, it will be a big disappointment for me! ”

Speaking of this, Yue Fei looked at several of his generals coldly and said, "You should know that our operation will cost at least 50,000 soldiers' lives this time!" So each of you can't afford to make a mistake in the tasks you're responsible for! Otherwise, you are not only ashamed of me and those sacrificed soldiers, but also hundreds of thousands of people of our Song Kingdom who were slaughtered on the border! ”

The generals shouted in unison, "We will do our best!" ”

Yue Fei nodded with satisfaction and said, "As long as we take Hainan Pass this time, relying on the steep terrain of this Xiongguan, it is enough to keep the Liao army out." ”

Hainan Pass was very important to Song Liao. It's like a sword, whoever gets it is like holding a sword and pointing it at the other person, and it can't be moved.

Compared with the Liao State, the Song State had a stronger desire to occupy this Xiongguan. The Liao State had no mortal enemies other than the Song State, and the Song State had to focus on both the Chu State and the Liao Jin invasion.

The Song State is not the Chu State, and he does not have such strong strength to face the threat of the three parties. If Hainan Pass can be captured, it will be a one-and-done thing for the Song Kingdom. Therefore, the reason why the King of Song is willing to send an army of 180,000 is called revenge, which is actually Hainan Pass!
