There was no warm winter in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was about ten degrees below zero on the winter solstice, and the ground was very hard, and it was difficult to dig a pit.

Someone proposed: "Battalion Commander Lu, why don't you take firewood and burn the ground, so that you can dig it." ”

The owner of Xiao Zhuang proposed: "It takes a lot of effort to chop wood and burn the fire, why not take the soil and water it, cast it into an ice wall, and cast a few ice walls to block the road." ”

Luda was overjoyed: "Or the old owner of Xiao Zhuang has insight and reason, and immediately takes soil and water to build an ice wall." ”

The military ordered, immediately began to act, this midnight cold, from the nearby soil and water, the work efficiency of 20,000 people is still very strong, an hour of time on the road north of Zhao County to build hundreds of ice walls, the ice wall is not high, more than one meter high, more than half a meter wide, the inside is dirt, the outside is ice, not too strong, but very troublesome.

Luda led the Zhuang Ding to be busy all night, and blocked more than 10 roads outside the north gate, east gate and west gate of Zhao County with ice walls, and when the light was released, Lu Da let Xiao and Shi lead the Zhuang Ding back, Luda and Zhao Long led more than 2,000 cavalry to wait outside the ice wall of the North Gate, Quartz was also not optimistic about Luda's strategy, Quartz said: "Battalion Commander Lu, your good strategy, although the Liao soldiers are trapped, they can't get out, but the food in Zhao County is not counted, and it is warm, and the Liao soldiers are not afraid of sleepiness, But we're outside the city, it's different, and there's no better place to get warmer than in the city. ”

Luda was speechless, I really didn't know how to answer, Luda scratched his bald head and said: "The Sprinkle family is a soldier, and the order to implement is to besiege the Liao soldiers to go north, as for the other Sprinkle families, I don't consider it." ”

Quartz giggled: "I think you're too embarrassed this time, wait to be scolded." ”

Not to mention that Luda and Zhao Long were waiting outside the North City Gate, and said that above the head of Zhao County, Xiao Hong arrived at the city early in the morning, because the soldiers reported early that the Jeju Army was busy with torches from several miles outside the city last night, and they didn't know what the hell they were doing.

Xiao Hong's eyes are good, and when he looks at it, there seem to be dozens of more walls on the road miles away.

"Bring the pro-soldier team, let's go out and have a look." Xiao Hong ordered.

Xiao Hong has very few cavalry, but there are still hundreds of cavalry, Xiao Hong led five hundred cavalry out of the north gate, and walked forward for three miles, Xiao Hong's head coaxed, and he almost fell off his horse.

I saw that the originally spacious official road was lined up with an ice wall that could not be seen at a glance, and this military wall was more than one person high and more than half a meter thick.

"How can this be good, the weather is cold now, and the ice wall may be difficult to destroy, not to mention that their cavalry is still nearby." Xiao Hongdao.

As he was talking, Luda, Zhao Long, and Quartz led the cavalry from the field next to them, approaching unhurriedly, and hundreds of divine arm crossbows had already pulled up the crossbow arrows.

Xiao Hong said: "Let's go back to the city first." ”

Xiao Hong knew the power of the divine arm crossbow, so he didn't dare to resist, so he led the troops back to the city.

When I came back and told the big guy about the situation, everyone said: "This is nothing to be afraid of, this generation is a plain, surrounded by a flat river, we can abandon the official road and build a road from the field, there are 20,000 people in the city to drive." ”

Xiao Hong said: "It makes sense, they can mobilize the people, and we can also mobilize the people." Immediately order the people to build roads, remember to escort the people, as long as the people are in them, they will not easily release arrows, these Central Plains people have the best face. ”

At this time, the people in the city suffered, so the Liao soldiers drove them out of the city, and took hoes and shovels to build roads from the fields next to the official road.

Not far away, Luda frowned, and said: "It's not easy to do this time, the Liao soldiers and the people are mixed together, and they are all shot together with bows and arrows." ”

Zhao Long said: "If you want to attack the Liao soldiers, it is inevitable to kill the people by mistake, but there are many people, and once they attack, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties." ”

The two discussed and discussed, but they couldn't come up with any good way, so they had to go back to the camp to train the strong men, and at the same time Pegasus reported the matter of Wang Jin's side.

Early the next morning, reinforcements arrived, and there was a mighty army of 3,000 horses, all carrying longbows. Who is the team leader, Pang Wanchun, Pang Wanchun looks like a girl, but no one in the Jeju Army dares to look down on Pang Wanchun, a well-known fierce general killer.

Luda said: "Brother Wanchun is here, what good way can you have, the Liao soldiers are holding the people hostage, it's not easy to attack." ”

Pang Wanchun said: "Let's go to the Chinese army to discuss." ”

When everyone came to the Chinese army, because it was a confidential matter, people like Xiao Lao Zhuang and Shi Lao Zhuang all retreated.

Pang Wanchun said: "This situation will definitely not work, and we will not be able to escape the blame for the excessive casualties of the people." But today the Liao soldiers let the people build roads, let our people mix in, wait from outside the west gate tonight, if the west gate is on fire, the city gate is wide open, we will attack the city with all our might, with the most fierce speed of the total annihilation of the Liao soldiers, if our people can not open the city gate, then we can only let the Liao soldiers retreat, and then slowly think of a way later. ”

Ruda said: "Okay, it's just that the brothers in the city have worked hard, and this is a huge risk." ”

The words are divided into two ends, who is it that sneaks into the city, the brothers of the second intelligence department, Shi Qian and dozens of other brothers, the people on the intelligence front can't see the light, they can't wear military uniforms, they are all dressed up by the people, and today they took advantage of the Liao soldiers to mobilize the people to build roads and sneak into the city.

At night, he lived in the backyard of other people, and the Liao soldiers did not guard much, because there were nearly 30,000 Liao soldiers in the small Zhao County, which could be said to be full of soldiers, and there were more soldiers than the common people.

Shi Qian woke up when he fell asleep, woke up several other brothers, stretched out his hand to signal the two brothers in the past, knocked over the two Liao soldiers who were not sleeping at the door, changed their clothes, and stood at the door on duty.

"Get the baby you brought in." Shi Qian made a gesture and made several brothers carry out two baskets of cloth bags, which turned out to be gunpowder.

It turned out that the little monkey brought by Luda is now Shi Qian's right-hand man, Shi Qian asked the little monkey to lead ten people to change into the clothes of the Liao soldiers, set fire to the Liao soldiers' barracks, and then led some people to the West City Gate.

The Liao soldiers were really careless, they were focused on defending outside the city, and they were not strict in patrolling inside, which gave Shi Qian and others a chance.

As they were walking, the pathfinder came back and gestured, allowing everyone to flash into the alley.

"What's the situation?" Time shifts to ask.

"The front is the West Gate, but there are dozens of Liao soldiers in the city gate who are roasting around the fire, and they don't mean to sleep for a while, and the soldiers on duty in the gate change every hour, I'm afraid they won't doze off." The spy said.

Time to move a touch, this time to move more troublesome, the city defense is lax, to the city gate must be heavily defended, their dozens of people are doing intelligence, stealing chickens and dogs is OK, really hard to touch the food.
