In the cold winter season, most of the people are nested at home, and they come to this fire pit to gather light.

The soldiers of the Yan army still need to continue training, especially the soldiers of the musket battalion.

Many of them had just received their muskets, and they were able to practice their muskets in a timely manner.

In order to familiarize them with the new tactics as soon as possible, Hua Rong put a lot of effort into training them.

Although casualties were inevitable, the intensity of training allowed them to quickly master new tactics, especially the synchronization of infantry and artillery with artillery.

After almost three months of training, the musket battalion can be said to have officially become an army.

On the third day of the second month of the sixth year of Zhenghe, Lin Chong, who had been waiting impatiently, saw that the weather was finally getting warmer.

Immediately, with Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming as the vanguard general, he led the Chinese army, with Yan Shun as the general of the rear army, and led more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to officially send troops to Yanyun.

On February 11 of the sixth year of Zhenghe, the army approached the city of Anxi County.

Lin Chong raised the horsewhip in his hand, shook his finger at the head of the city, and shouted. "Listen, people in the city, you are in a desperate situation, and if you resist, you will die. Why not land as soon as possible? My emperor has an order, as long as he is willing to surrender, he will not be treated badly! ”

Responsible for guarding Anxi City is Kang Li Ding'an, the uncle of Liao.

Hearing Lin Chong's persuasion, he fell into deep thought.

Of course, he knew that since the defeat of the Wuyan army, the main force of the Liao army had suffered heavy losses.

Now the Liao army is weak, and there are less than 20,000 veterans left. The others are basically newly recruited recruits.

Can Da Liao turn defeat into victory and keep Yanyun?

He has a heart and is not confident!

Now that Shi Jin's army is strong and strong, it is very likely that he will have a chance to flatten the Liao State and completely occupy the territory of Wujing.

Once the Liao State can't hold on, what will happen to him?

Do you want to take refuge in Yan Kingdom and keep your current glory and wealth?

It's just that after surrendering, how will Shi Jin settle himself!

He is the uncle of the Liao State, and he is also a high-ranking member of the Liao State, if the conditions and treatment are poor, then he will not be interested.

It's better to fight to the death!

It's just that what kind of conditions does this Yan Kingdom give, and you can accept it?

What's your bottom line?

Kang Li settled down and calculated, and hesitated for a moment.

Lin Chong was riding on the frost flower horse, and when he saw his shout, the other party did not respond at all.

He was suddenly upset!

He is still in a hurry to attack Yanjing, where is he free to spend time with them in this small city.

Lin Chong suddenly shouted loudly: "Listen to the traitors in the city, you can't wait for your strength, and you dare to resist my Great Yan Army, which is really your own destruction." When the city is broken, it will take your dog's head! Pass my orders and attack the city! ”

With Lin Chong's order, the Yan army immediately began preparations for the siege.

The forward battalion had 5,000 archers, 3,000 musketeers, and more than 8,000 spearmen carrying ladders, smashing wood and other siege equipment to prepare.

And now the most important artillery of the Yan army has also been pulled to the front.

After repeated improvements, the firearms workshop has now completely created a medium and light front-loading gun suitable for field combat.

The new front-loading gun was more powerful and had a longer firing range, up to a thousand paces.

With Lin Chong's order, the artillerymen carried the artillery from the horse and pushed them to the front line.

Then skillfully wipe the ** chamber and fill it with gunpowder......

Seeing that the Yan army was about to attack the city, Kang Li stopped thinking about it.

Now that the Yan army is attacking the city, even if he wants to surrender, he must repel the Yan army's attack this time.

Surrendering without resisting anything will only make Shi Jin look down on him, and he will definitely not be reused in the future.

Resist the Yan army, so that Shi Jin can look high and sell it at a good price.

Kang Li stood on the city wall and personally supervised the battle.

While ordering the soldiers to beat the drums vigorously and cheering, Kang Li called out loudly over and over again: "Brothers, today anyone who kills an enemy soldier will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and a reward of five taels of silver will be rewarded for capturing one alive." If you catch the general's bounty of 1,000 taels. Ben will do what he says, and never lose his word! If you want to get a bounty, show your fighting spirit! ”

Hearing the reward proposed by the main general Kang Li Anding, the Liao soldiers who were originally panicked were somewhat stable. They clenched the knives and guns in their hands, ready to wait to kill a few people and gamble for their lives.

Seeing that the atmosphere of fear that had been in place for his subordinates had eased, Kang Li was relieved that he would definitely be able to defend the city with the fortified city walls and the city defense equipment that had been prepared for many days.

A bowl of tea, all 180 artillery pieces were prepared, and they were laid out in a word, but there was a solemn aura in the silence.

Seeing that the artillery had been loaded with gunpowder, Lin Chong rode a frost horse, glanced at the quiet Anxi City, drew his sword, pointed at the city, and shouted: "Fire!" ”

"Bump! Touch! Touching ......"

Nearly two hundred guns let out a dead roar one after another.

The cannonballs flew with unstoppable force with a whistling sound.

More than a dozen solid iron bullets swept past the wall, and the hands and feet of many Liao soldiers were directly broken and broken, and half of their arms and thighs were even smashed and their heads were bleeding and brainy.

Fortunately, it was the iron bullet that broke the head, and those Liao soldiers who had broken their hands and feet kept rolling on the ground with a howl.

More iron bullets slammed into the stone wall, and the stone burst immediately, and the rubble flew in all directions.

Under the bombardment of artillery, the entire wall shook.

The Liao soldiers turned from stunned to frightened, and many people turned around and fled towards the city with a scream, unable to stop them.

The artillery fire ravaged the city wall, and the head of the city was heavily raged by the Yan artillery, and there was no way to stand at all.

Chu Mingyu, the deputy general defending the city, shouted anxiously: "My lord, this Yan army has fierce firepower, and the soldiers of our army don't dare to go to the city at all!" Hurry up and think of a way, otherwise this city won't be able to hold it at all! ”

Kang Li Ding had heard that there was a powerful firearm in the Yan army, but he thought it was just a strengthened version of the catapult.

At the head of the city, he also prepared a lot of catapults, ready to attack the Yan army.

But he didn't expect that the Yan Army's artillery would be returned here, and the range would be so long.

Looking at the Yan army's position seven or eight hundred steps away, Kang Li was stable but knew in his heart that his catapult was three hundred steps away, where could he strike at the other party. He was completely dead set on playing against the other party.

From time to time, I watched my soldiers being lifted up in the artillery fire, flying in the air like a dance.

Kang Li was stable and knew that he had to think of a way, otherwise he would not have to attack the other party, and his own soldiers and horses would blow up first.

Kang Li Anxing was anxious and shouted: "Go down to the city first, go down to the city all!" ”

When Chu Mingyu heard it, he was stunned for a moment and shouted, "My lord, we don't defend the city anymore?" ”

"Go down to the city first, Ben will have his own way!"

Kang Li gave the order to withdraw from the city, and the frightened Liao soldiers suddenly retreated from the city like a tide.

After leaving the city, Kang Li Anding sent people to erect more than a dozen large logs in the open space near the city wall.

Send a few Liao soldiers up to stand and supervise the situation outside the city.

Kang Li was stable and did not believe that when the enemy was about to attack the city, they dared to bombard the city with such impunity.

As soon as they stopped the shelling, Kang Li Anding would order his men to go back to the city and wait for the battle.

Lin Chong rode on a tall horse, and saw that there was no Liao soldier at the head of the city, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to attack and level the moat ditch.

Under the cover of artillery fire, groups of soldiers pushed carts and sheltered them with several layers of thick cowhide to the moat ditch, and threw the mud and stones on the carts into the ditch.

With the help of artillery fire, the speed at which Yan soldiers transported earth to fill the moat was visible to the naked eye.

The Liao soldiers on the wooden stake saw that the Yan army outside the city was hurrying to fill the ditch, and hurriedly reported to Kangli Anding on the wooden stake.

Kang Li heard the enemy outside the city filling the ditch, and he was in a hurry to jump to his feet. He shouted: "No, we can't let the firearms outside the city bombard unscrupulously like this, otherwise sooner or later we will not be able to hold it." General Chu and General Cao, you lead the cavalry to bypass the West Gate, and you must destroy those artillery! ”

Chu Mingyu also knew that the stakes were very high, and it was related to the safety of the city. But now there are only 2,000 cavalry in Anxi City, and the Yan army outside the city has 50,000 generals, and there are no less than 5,000 cavalry.

He didn't dare to go out of the city, and said in embarrassment: "My lord, the Yan army has many soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that our army alone will not be able to attack the enemy army!" ”

Kang Li calmly shouted: "You don't have to worry about anything else, as long as you destroy those cannons for me, it will be a great achievement!" ”

Seeing that Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji were still hesitant to move, Kang Li calmly drew his sword and shouted: "If you don't listen to the order, the general will behead the two of you!" ”

Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji saw Kang Li's unkind eyes, so they could only shout: "The last general has an order!" ”

As soon as the west city gate opened, Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji galloped on horseback, and the two thousand cavalry lined up in a conical formation and killed the Yan army.

Horses soaring, sabers huo.

Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji felt bitter in their hearts, why did this unlucky errand fall on their heads?

They are a hundred reluctant in their hearts.

Helplessly, Kang Li was watching from the city wall, so they had to rush up.

The Liao soldiers shouted, held their guns, and rushed to the Yan position.

Four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, closer, closer, you can see the faces of the Yan soldiers.

What made Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji puzzled was that they led the cavalry to kill closer, but why didn't they panic?

Didn't the swordsmen come forward to carry it to the death? The opposing cavalry also did not attack?

Why did they all stand stupidly, as if they were going to watch a play.

Just as they were puzzled, Hua Rong ordered the musketeers to step forward.

As soon as Yan Jun's gunshots rang out, Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji knew that they were wrong, and they were very wrong.

Under Hua Rong's order, the three thousand musketeers were like lighting a string of firecrackers, which crackled.

During the run, the cavalry of the Liao army suddenly felt like a stick, fell to the ground, covered the wound the size of a copper coin and groaned in pain.

As soon as one round was fired, the musketeers in the first row crouched down and hurriedly took out a paper shell from the cloth bag hanging from their waists and loaded ammunition.

The musketeers in the second row raised their guns and opened fire on the Liao soldiers.

The gunshots rang out again, and the Liao soldiers were shot one after another and fell.

The sound of crackling continued, and the Liao soldiers didn't even get close to fifty steps, and they fell down.

Looking at those subordinates who were lying on the ground wailing in pain, Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji were terrified.

Damn Yan Jun, insidious and despicable!

No wonder, none of those artillery soldiers were worried, it turned out that they didn't notice Lao Tzu, but they had been prepared.

Chu Mingyu saw that a large number of his subordinates had fallen in a short period of time, and he didn't even care about the military order, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to retreat.

It's good to reward silver, but you also have to take it!

Kang Li, who was hiding behind the women's wall, gasped, thinking of going out of the city to attack the Yan army, and if he could, the whole army would rush up and crush the Yan army. If it doesn't work, just withdraw when you encounter a counterattack.

I didn't expect the Yan army's musket to be so sharp, and there were nearly seven or eight hundred people lost all of a sudden.

After a few more attempts, his own garrison was finished.

The more Kang Li thought about it, the more scared he became, and he had fought for almost 20 years, and he had never suffered such a big loss.

It's horrible!

If the main force of the Yan army attacked the city, with the strength at hand, it would not be able to hold it at all.

No, we must let Yelu Dashi send troops to reinforce quickly, if it is too late, these more than 5,000 soldiers and horses will not be able to hold on for a month!

After Kang Li Anding saw that his men had withdrawn to the city, he sent people to ask for help from Yelu Dashi. He ordered the troops to strictly guard the fortifications and never go out of the city to fight with the Yan army in the field.
