? ? Time is changing, the situation is ever-changing, a few days have passed, the two cavalry of the Yan army have appeared in the northwest of Kaifeng City.

According to Lin Feng's military order, Hou Mingfeng commanded Yan Cai, transferred to the north of Kaifeng City, and all Yan troops camped here, looking for opportunities, and began to attack the city.

With this, Lin Feng sent hundreds of elite horsemen to the north gate of Kaifeng City, harassed the Song army, and dismounted the opponent.

The Yan army was stationed in the north of the city, set up camp, built a camp, and beware of the Song army in the city.

Outside the barracks, horse fences, traps, fences, and inside the barracks, high turrets and lookouts are built. The military tent, soon, the boxy camp, in the north of Kaifeng City.

The camp stretches for dozens of miles, the waves are magnificent, and it seems that the painting axis is unfolding on the ground.

In the south of the barracks, in the temporary tent, only three or five chairs, bookcases, and sand tables are placed, and the outside is wrapped in cowhide, which is simple and rude.

Hou Mingfeng, Bai Yisheng, Zhao Jun, Li Lin, and the four generals arranged the soldiers under the tent, and hurriedly came to the Shuai tent to meet Lin Feng.

At this time, in the tent, Lin Feng, Ju Wentai, and Huang Puxuan climbed on the front end of the sand table to study the plan of attacking Kaifeng City in detail.

Hou Mingfeng's four generals strode into the account, saw Lin Feng in the handsome tent, lifted his battle robe, knelt on one knee, and saluted Lin Feng: "The last general Hou Mingfeng (Bai Yisheng, Zhao Jun, Li Lin) greeted the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Hearing the sound, Lin Feng, who was crawling on the sand table, got up and straightened the golden crow armor on his body, and waved his hand to signal the four generals to get up.

The tone was kind and smooth, and he said: "Recently, everyone has encountered arduous wars, and in the serial onslaught of the Song army and other forces, they are still invincible and invincible, which is commendable, and the generals have worked hard."

South. Zhao Hongru, Zhao Jun, led the troops to fight with the three armies of Wu, Yue and Song, and the situation was extremely dangerous, and they were still in the assistance of reinforcements.

In the middle, Hou Mingfeng led the troops to confront the Mengkuo army, and when the Song army occupied the advantage, he still repeatedly captured Yuecheng, allowing Mengkuo to lead the troops, and never recovered the lost territory of the Song state.

Because of Hou Mingfeng, Zhao Hongru was in the central and southern parts of the country to contain many Song troops, and he and Ju Wentaicai were in the north, sweeping the northern part of the Song Kingdom and arriving at Kaifeng City ahead of schedule.

"Your Majesty, the last general, as a courtier of the Yan Kingdom, is exhausted in the war, and it is inevitable, compared with the blood-stained battlefield and the horse leather shroud, the last general is fortunate to appear in front of the emperor, which is already a blessing in misfortune." Hou Mingfeng looked at Lin Feng and spoke modestly.

"Yes, in the battle of Yan and Song, the Song army suffered heavy casualties, and in the Song army's ordnance attack, the casualties of the Yan army also doubled." Zhao Junzhen didn't dare to take credit.

Fighting on the battlefield, the soldiers rushed to be the first, threw their heads, and spilled their blood before they returned to the current situation.

Despite the fighting army, a steady stream of recruits was replenished, but there were many casualties, and the number of recruits was still generated.

It can be seen that the battle of Yan and Song was cruel, and the Yan army soldiers forgot to die.

Lin Feng raised his hand, smiled on his face, signaled to the four generals, sat down with Ju Wentai and Huangpu Xuan, moved to the high platform and sat down, and said: "I and General Ju, General Huangpu, led the troops from the north in a hurry, although they have not yet surveyed Kaifeng City to set up defenses, but according to the news sent back by secret agents, the defense of Kaifeng City is much stronger than before, I heard that hundreds of thousands of male soldiers are stationed in the city, including the Xuanjia soldiers of Chu State, and the Soldiers' Righteous Army, this battle, Song State is afraid that it will be regarded as the ultimate decisive battle?"

The secret agent sent back the news that the Kaifeng city wall had increased by one zhang, the city wall defenders had tripled, and many defenses and hidden forts had been built in the city, turning the city into a killing battlefield.

In previous battles, the Yan army had never encountered such a strong city as defended.

Ju Wentai stood up, looked at Hou Mingfeng's four generals, and said to Lin Feng: "Your Majesty, this Kaifeng City, the city is already high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, now the Song army's defense has doubled, there are many soldiers in the city, and the people support, we have to forcibly break the city, Xuanzhi Xuanzhi, even if we forcibly capture the city, I am afraid that we will kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred, which is very unfavorable to the Yan army.

Therefore, to seize Kaifeng City, the last general suggested that the method of not fighting bloodlessly should be adopted, so that the Song army would take the initiative to surrender in Kaifeng City."

Previously, when Ju Wentai, Huang Puxuan and Lin Feng were studying the defense of Kaifeng City, Ju Wentai mentioned it to Lin Feng, but Lin Feng did not give an answer, but did not deny it.

However, Hou Mingfeng learned that his face was shocked, his intuition was incredible, the soldiers were bloodless, and he took the initiative to surrender, and in the battle of Yan and Song, the Song army did not surrender before the battle. Don't say that in Kaifeng City, the empress personally fought the main battle, hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, and Kaifeng City could still fight with the Yan army.

Hou Mingfeng got up, moved to Ju Wentai's side, and saluted with his fists. Questioned: "General Ju, a thousand years ago, the Song State was able to survive in the Great Zhou Expedition, and persevered until the Great Zhou Dynasty perished, and the vassal states rose in the struggle for hegemony.

What's more, judging from the defense of Kaifeng City, the empress is ready to persevere to the end and live and die with Kaifeng City, I don't know, General Ju, how does the plan be bloodless?"

Hou Mingfeng's words are not good, containing anger, if it weren't for the person who proposed it was Ju Wentai, who led the army to fight with the emperor and establish meritorious deeds, he didn't even bother to talk to the other party.

The defense of the Song army is clearly visible, Kaifeng City is afraid that even flies will not be able to fly in, and the soldiers are not bloody.

Ju Wentai agreed, agreeing with Hou Mingfeng's words, he also knew that the Song people were brave and good at fighting, and had a firm will to fight. Immediately, he saluted Lin Feng with his fists, turned to Hou Mingfeng and said: "General Hou, the empress and the generals of the Song State want to fight to the death with the Yan army in Kaifeng City, but we don't need to attack the city strongly, we just need to adopt the strategy of clearing the wall and field, choose to besiege but not attack, and confront the Song army for a long time.

Half a month, more than a month, a few months, half a year, as long as the Yan army is patient, the food in this Kaifeng city will be exhausted sooner or later, at that time, the Yan army is not bloody, and there is no need to lose many soldiers, they can conquer Kaifeng City and seize the city."

When Hou Mingfeng wanted to argue, Lin Feng waved his hand, interrupted Hou Mingfeng's action, and said: "General Hou, what General Ju said is true, the current situation, the Yan army cannot be hard to fight with the Song army, remember, outside the Song Kingdom, there are still southern princes, not to mention, the southern princes are dividing the southern territory of Yan Kingdom, who dares to guarantee that when the other party is insatiable, he will not wave his army to the north, take advantage of the fire to rob, and carve up Yan Kingdom."

Bai Yisheng stepped forward, saluted Lin Feng, and said: "Your Majesty, the last general agrees with General Ju's suggestion, the southern princes have always been despicable and have adopted shameless strategies, and now, the Shu State has entered the territory of the Yan State, and the southern princes will definitely follow suit, and it is difficult to stop the other party with the iron cavalry led by General Zhang alone, not to mention, General Feng and General Han fought on the Yangtze River and were defeated by the Song State Naval Division, the more they will provoke the arrogance of the southern princes.

However, General Ju suggested that the siege was not determined for a long time, and if it continued for a long time, it would still be detrimental to the Yan army."

Since learning of Ju Wentai's suggestion, in order to reduce the casualties of the Yan army, preserve its strength, and fight against the southern princes, Bai Yisheng supported the other party.

He led his troops from the south, sadly abandoning the southern territory, and when the time was ripe, he would take the initiative to ask Ying to recapture the partitioned territory of Yan.

Hou Mingfeng was silent, and gradually understood Ju Wentai's thoughts.

However, in his eyes, a long-term siege without an attack is very tolerant of the will of the Yan army, and moreover, when the heavy troops are gathered in Kaifeng and the southern army goes north, the Yan army still does not have enough troops to fight. He had the same worries as Bai Yisheng.

However, while he was pondering, Lin Feng got up, swept the generals present, and said with a smile: "General Bai, General Hou, General Ju suggested, I am extremely supportive, in order to give the Song army a look, Huangpu Xuan, Zhao Jun, Li Lin, you lead the army, sweep all the cities near Kaifeng, block the road to Kaifeng, within five days, be sure to let Kaifeng City completely become an isolated city.

Bai Yisheng, you personally lead the army to find a water source leading to Kaifeng City, be sure to cut off the water source, not a drop of water can flow into Kaifeng City."

"Yes!" Huang Puxuan, Bai Yisheng, Zhao Jun, Li Lin, and Deling have hugged their fists.

The four generals are like mirrors, blocking the road to Kaifeng City, cutting off the water source flowing to Kaifeng City, for a long time, Kaifeng City, food shortage, water shortage, can not be effectively replenished, will cause chaos in the army, the people's heart.

It doesn't take half a year, ten days, half a month, there is no water source, the Song army can not hold on, at that time, the Yan army can really be bloodless, and kill into Kaifeng City.

For a while, in the tent of the handsome, immersed in an atmosphere of joy, the generals seemed to see that in Kaifeng City, when the Song army was miserable due to the lack of water, they took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender to the Yan army.

There was silence in the tent, Lin Feng's deployment was not yet completed, and he turned to Hou Mingfeng and instructed: "Always beware of the Western Mengkuo Army, for a long time, the other party has never left Lucheng, I am afraid that there will be a cat."

"Your Majesty, do you want to send a killer to kill Meng Kuo?" The battle for the defense of Kaifeng is about to start, Meng Kuo is still stationed in Lucheng, Hou Mingfeng can't guess what Meng Kuo thinks, does he watch Kaifeng City being hit hard.

Lin Feng waved his hand and reminded: "There is no need to adopt despicable strategies, not to mention, Meng Kuo has become a minister in the Song army, and it is impossible for the Song State not to send a master to protect Meng Kuo."

Hearing the emperor's words, Hou Mingfeng stopped speaking, that's right, the Song State sent killers to assassinate the emperor, and he would definitely expect that the Yan army would send killers to assassinate important generals and officials.

Lin Feng didn't continue this topic, turned to Ju Wentai, and said, "General Ju, recently, you personally led the army to try to attack Kaifeng City and test the defense of the Song army."

"Yes!" Ju Wentai hugging fists.

The next day, early in the morning.

The morning fog has not yet receded, and in the Yan military camp, Ju Wentai led 3,000 cavalry out of the gate and went straight to the north gate of Kaifeng City.

The cavalry hurried forward, menacing, clattering horses' hooves, as if they were about to break through the Kaifeng city.

In the city wall of the north gate of Kaifeng, when Lin Tianzhao led the Xuanjia army and the righteous army to arrive, he was arranged by the empress to be deployed at the north gate to guard against the siege of Emperor Yan's army.

In the mist, the defenders within the city walls, half of them were half awake, relying on the support of the soldiers, leaning on the city wall, and always keeping an eye on the northern movements.

At this time, the defenders of the city suddenly heard the horses' hooves from the north, and suddenly, they were sleepy, and they did not dare to be careless.

Arriving at the snare drum, the guards grabbed the icy drum hammer and slammed it on the drum surface.

Bang, bang, bang

The sound of huge drums, like thunder, suddenly woke up the defenders in the city wall, and the dull drum sound also spread throughout the city.

For a moment, all the defenders cheered up, and the guards in the city tower also wore armor and walked down from the city tower at a hurry.

Looking at the guards in front of the snare drum, he asked angrily, "What is the matter, why are the drums beating in the morning?"

Suddenly, the guards next to him stepped forward quickly, helped the guards put on their armor, and the people who beat the drums said loudly: "General, there is a sound of horses' hooves in the north, and the last general is worried that the Yan cavalry will attack the city."

In the early morning, the mist has not yet dissipated, and although it is on the city wall, although it is condescending, the range of sight is still limited, and it is very difficult to see far to the north.

What's more, in the mist, looking for the traces of Yan Qi.

The guard turned to look north, in the mist, there was no trace of Yan Qi, the guard raised his hand suddenly, signaling the defenders of the city wall to be quiet, and listened attentively.

Suddenly, the defenders within the city wall stopped their pace and did not dare to speak.

In the silence, the guard also faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves, approaching from the north,

Instantly, with a serious face, he grabbed the short sword at his waist and commanded the guards around him: "The whole army is on guard, enter a state of readiness, and in addition, immediately send someone to inform General Lin Tianzhao and invite him to come to the city wall to preside over the battle."

"Yes!"

"Prepare for war, all arms for war!"

"Take out your spear and prepare your bed crossbow."

For a while, the corridor of the city wall became chaotic, and it was full of the sound of soldiers preparing for battle.

The guard will stand at the head of the city with his sword, his eyes blazing, looking into the mist, waiting for the trace of Yan Qi to appear.

At present, he really didn't understand that the Yan army of the northwest two routes had just arrived near Kaifeng City, and before they had rested, they attacked Kaifeng City.

However, when he was in the state of Chu, he had heard from the veterans who survived that the Yan army had always fought day and night, regardless of time, and there was no fixed rule, and if the cavalry was dispatched, the war knife would inevitably be stained with blood.

The swallow rode forward, and gradually, in the mist, there were traces of the swallow rider.

It's just that this group of swallow horsemen did not rush directly to the city wall, but on the contrary, when they were close to the city wall, they quickly dispersed to the left and right, and in the process of galloping, they suddenly took out their crossbows and shot at the defenders inside the city wall.

For a while, a rain of arrows arrived, and before the defenders could start attacking, they were attacked by a rain of arrows, and they did not dare to hesitate and hid one after another.

"Dodge, dodge!"

"Squat, squat!"

The guards watched it, heard the sound of buzzing arrows in the air, and hurriedly shouted loudly, reminding the defenders inside the city wall to use the wall to cover quickly.

However, the guards are now, the Yan cavalry shoots a rain of arrows, but in the city wall, there are only sporadic arrow rains, and the remaining arrow rain falls from the sky before they reach the city wall.

Watching it, the guards stood up suddenly, and the guards who wanted to hide on all sides shouted: "Brothers, the range of the Yan army's crossbow is limited, and it is difficult to hurt us, so quickly use the bed crossbow to shoot and kill."

Hearing the sound, the defenders hiding on the city wall looked around, and found that the companions around them only suffered casualties, on the other hand, in front of the city wall, a large number of Yan army arrows rained, and when they were about to arrive at the city wall, they fell one after another.

For a while, the defenders in the city wall, all of them became agitated, controlling the bed crossbow, using spears, and shooting at the Yan army under the city wall.

At this time, under the city wall, Ju Wentai also noticed the rain of arrows shot by Yan Cai, and couldn't help but be surprised that it was difficult to shake the defenders on the city wall, and he didn't even shoot into the city wall.
