On the hills east of the northwest foot of the old iron mountain in the shepherd city, it is very close to the sheep's head depression, and it is less than 400 steps.

Shepherd City is said to be a city, but in fact, it is not even a soil city in Huaxia, and it can be called a fortress.

The circumference is only two hundred and fifty paces, one zhang high, and there is only one gate.

In terms of the scale of a fortress like Shepherd City, it is already at the level of a city in Liao, but how few and small cities are like Liao.

The Liao State has a vast territory, but except for the sixteen states of Yanyun under its rule, most of the rest of the country are nomadic and fish-hunting peoples.

These nomadic and fish-hunter peoples had to move with the seasons from time to time, so the city was of little use to these peoples. This also led to the fact that the territory under the rule of the Liao State did not have as many cities as in China. Because the Liao State has few cities, and the scale is not large, and most of them are the basis of the nomadic economy, the Liao State cannot develop such prosperous cities as Tokyo and Hangzhou in the Song Kingdom.

Comparing Dadingfu, the capital of Liao, with Tokyo City, the capital of the Song Kingdom, according to modern cities, it is undoubtedly the difference between Tshwane and New York.

There are a few people who don't want to live in a bustling metropolis, and a few people who want to live in a dirt city.

Because of such a huge difference, even the Liao Emperor Liao Daozong couldn't help but give birth to the desire to give birth to China in future generations!

At the end of November 17, when a person is most asleep.

Withstanding the cold wind, quietly marching with a bowl of tea, Zhang Heng and two thousand naval sailors felt under the shepherd city.

The Liao soldiers in Shepherd City thought that there was a water village, and the Liao soldiers who were on guard were all nested under the female wall, sleeping in their arms.

By the light of the moon, I carefully observed the Shepherd City for a while. Zhang Heng confirmed that Shepherd City was indeed not a single defender.

He smiled and gesticulated. Soon a few of his right-hand men came up.

Zhang Heng whispered to his subordinates: "There is no one in the city now, which is just convenient for us to act." Wait a minute, we will divide into two teams and go up from both sides of the arrow tower at the city gate. It's best to kill the guards quietly, but if you can't, you don't have to keep your hands, remember that you must control the beacon tower, and the city gate. You can't let them get the word out, and you can't let one person slip it out. Got it? ”

The subordinate nodded and said, "Understood! ”

"Good, do it!" Zhang Heng said softly.

With a gesture from Zhang Heng, the two thousand men under his command immediately separated, and one thousand soldiers and horses each quietly walked to both sides of the city gate.

The sailors of the Navy moved very lightly, and they all gathered their steps and slowly approached.

When he arrived at the place, Zhang Heng observed the situation on the city, and then said softly: "Ready, get up!" ”

Zhang Heng hugged one end of the long wood, and the six strong soldiers hugged the other end of the long wood, and they used force at the same time to support the long wood.

Zhang Heng was suddenly sent into the air, and with the height of the long wood, Zhang Heng jumped lightly, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he immediately went up to the city with a roll.

As soon as he arrived at the head of the city, Zhang Heng immediately cated in the shadow of the female wall, and saw that the sleeping guards were not alarmed. Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief, took out a thin rope from his waist and threw it down, pulled up a soft ladder, and gently fixed it on the female wall.

The naval sailors under the city immediately slowly climbed up the soft ladder.

In this way, on both sides of the city, nearly 30 naval sailors came up one after another.

The Liangshan soldiers under the city were still slowly coming up, Zhang Heng leaned over and looked at the Liao soldiers who were sleeping in each other's arms seventy steps away, and said softly: "There are only 10 Liao soldiers in the city, first deal with these people, and then open the city gate and let the Lang'er into the city!" ”

Nearly fifty sailors heard Zhang Heng's order, followed closely behind him, and quietly approached the Liao soldiers who were still asleep.

Seeing that Zhang Heng's fingers all fell, they stepped forward at the same time, and the knife in their hands suddenly inserted into their vital parts.

There were quite a few Liao soldiers, and they died before they even opened their eyes.

Pressing a finger on their necks to confirm that they were all dead.

At this time, it was almost five watches, Zhang Heng said: "Hurry up and go down to the city and open the city gate!" ”

Although Zhang Heng was very careful, the wooden pillars of the city gate were already many years old. As soon as it was pushed, it creaked.

In this quiet night, it was very loud.

A few Liao soldiers who slept relatively lightly heard the familiar sound of the city gate opening, and thought it was time to get up and prepare for duty.

They woke up their companions with their sleepy eyes open, and just stretched their waists to open the door and prepare to go out, they were greeted by arrows that glittered with cold light.

This Liao soldier had just woken up, and he didn't know that the Liangshan army had already entered the city, and he was not at all defenseless in the face of this sudden attack.

At close range, the arrow hit him in the chest, directly through his chest.

He fell to the ground and died after a few convulsions.

The few yawning people in the room were Liao soldiers who saw their companions lying on the ground who were already cold, and after they were stunned for a moment, they suddenly screamed. "Ahh The enemy has come in! ”

Hearing the shouts of the Liao soldiers, Zhang Heng knew that there was no hidden role now, and he immediately shouted: "Kill with me, control the beacon, and they must not release the news!" ”

Muyangcheng is a small city built because more and more Han people moved from Shandong, Hebei and other places to the Liaodong Peninsula to engage in reclamation, and it is a residential area for the common people. But its greater usefulness was to use beacons to inform the whole of Suzhou that there was a coastal guard castle where the enemy had attacked from the sea.

Zhang Heng wanted to conquer Shepherd City overnight, but he didn't want them to release the news of the enemy's attack on the shore, so as not to affect the marshal's next actions.

Hearing the order, the hundreds of Liangshan soldiers who entered the city first immediately followed behind Zhang Heng and killed towards the beacon tower.

The shrill cry couldn't stop sounding in the shepherd city!

"What's going on? What did you say? The shepherd city guard, Yu Jianlu, was awakened by the shouting outside the room, and before he even had time to put on his clothes, he grabbed a knife and ran out of the room.

The scene in front of him made him completely unbelievable, the whole city was in chaos, and everywhere there were enemies of unknown origin.

"The general is not good, the enemy has entered the city!" The deputy general hurriedly ran to Yu Jian Lu Wei and shouted in panic.

Yu saw that Lu Wei wanted to give this deputy general a slap, but Lao Tzu was not blind, of course he knew that the enemy had attacked the city.

Ignoring the adjutant general of the regular meeting, Yu Jian Lu hurriedly shouted: "Quick, blow the horn and gather all your subordinates." By the way, light the beacon fire. Tell the envoy of Suzhou Jiedu that the enemy soldiers have attacked the shore, and ask him to send someone to support him quickly! ”

Hearing the shouts of the guards, many Liao soldiers who were panicked because of the attack gathered around him and began to counterattack.

Zhang Heng entered the city and replaced it with a big knife. took the lead in the crowd of Liao soldiers, flying with big blades in their hands, harvesting the lives of Liao soldiers.

Just as Zhang Heng led the Liangshan soldiers to seize control of the beacon tower and hold on, he saw the main general of the Liao soldiers running out of the room and saw that he was shouting orders to gather the soldiers.

Zhang Heng knew that he must not let the Liao soldiers be reined in, otherwise even if he could capture Shepherd City in the end, it would bring heavy casualties to his own soldiers.

Zhang Heng immediately shouted: "Leave two hundred people here to guard, and the others will follow me to kill!" ”

Zhang Heng led his troops to quickly kill Yu Jianlu.

Seeing Zhang Heng coming over, Yu Jian Lu Wei also knew that he must not let the enemy disperse the soldiers who he could not gather.

Yu Jian Lu also shouted: "Follow me and drive these enemies out!" ”

"This city has been conquered by me, if you don't want to die, surrender quickly!" Zhang Heng saw that the enemy general was rushing up, and immediately slashed at the opponent.

Zhang Heng habitually shouted surrender, but unfortunately Yu Jian Lu Wei was a former Bohai native, who only knew Khitan and did not understand Chinese.

Zhang Heng's shouting he didn't understand at all.

Yu saw that Lu Wei was slashed by Zhang Heng and took half a step back. But he stood firm and immediately counterattacked the horizontal knife, wanting to say that Zhang Heng slashed into two sections.

Seeing that the opponent was not birding himself, Zhang Heng didn't bother to talk nonsense, and replaced it with the big knife in his hand.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

With a roar, Zhang Heng turned around, dodged the enemy's sword, and swept the broadsword.

Rushing past from Yu Jianlu's side, Zhang Heng no longer looked at the enemy, "Your general is dead, if you don't tie your hands, you will be captured, and there will be no mercy!" ”

As Zhang Heng's shout fell, Lu Wei fell to the ground behind him, and the blood gushing out stained the floor tiles red.

Seeing that the main general Yu Jian Lu was hacked to death by Zhang Heng, those Liao soldiers couldn't help but be shocked.

Yu Jian Lu Wei can be regarded as a fierce general in Liaodong, otherwise he would not have won the position of the guard of Shepherd City.

Seeing that the Lord was about to be killed, more and more enemies poured into the city, and one of the Han soldiers in the Liao soldiers took the lead in shouting: "I am willing to surrender!" I'm willing to surrender! ”

Hearing that this Liao soldier could speak Chinese, Zhang Heng shouted: "You are Han? Do you speak Khitan? ”

The Liao soldier hurriedly shouted: "The little one is a Han Chinese, who can speak Khitan!" ”

"Call them to surrender, and those who surrender will not be killed. If you dare to resist, you will be killed! Zhang Heng shouted.

Hearing that there was a reward, the Liao soldier immediately loudly persuaded his companion to surrender in Khitan.

At the beginning, there were still Liao soldiers who did not dare to surrender, but those who continued to resist were ruthlessly killed by the Liangshan army.

Seeing the ferocity of these enemies, more and more weapons were still on the ground, shouting: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!" ”

Half an hour later, the shouts of killing in Shepherd City fell silent, and the Liao soldiers who surrendered were confiscated and imprisoned in several rooms under the care of the Liangshan army.

As for the corpses of more than 100 Liao soldiers who stubbornly resisted, they were packed up by the Liangshan soldiers and transported out of the city, ready to dig a pit and bury them, so as not to have a plague.

It turned out that Lu Wei's house was in the main house.

After Zhang Heng asked Wenshi to write the letter, he stamped his general seal and sealed the seal.

After Zhang Heng handed the letter to the messengers, he shouted: "Report to the marshal immediately, and say that Shepherd City has been successfully taken by our army." Please send troops to support as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, I'll go back to Dengzhou to report the news!"

Zhang Heng continued to command: "By the way, at the same time, I also told General Li Jun to bring all the equipment on the ship. Make sure Shepherd City is safe! ”

"Understood!"

When the messenger soldier took the letter on the road, Zhang Heng called the Liao soldier who knew Chinese and Khitan in.

"What's your name?"

"The little one's name is Han Sanding!"

"Han Sanding, now there is a shortage of people in our army who understand Khitan and Chinese. Join our army, and I will reward you as the capital! ”

Han Sanding didn't answer immediately when he heard it, but asked, "Are you Song Jun?" ”

"No, we are the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Shi Jin, the nine-pattern dragon, and the soldiers and horses under Marshal Shi!" Zhang Heng shouted.

The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the nine-pattern dragon Shi Jin, Marshal Shi's soldiers and horses!

Listening to the long name, Han Sanding couldn't remember who this nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin was!

He asked suspiciously, "My lord, is your marshal's nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin the leader of a tribe?" ”

Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Eh! So to speak! ”

Han Sanding then asked, "Then how many people are in your marshal's tribe?" ”

If he wants to betray the Liao State and follow other forces, there is nothing wrong with Han Sanding. In Liao, a small tribe was annexed by a large tribe, and the people of the small tribe were all subordinated to the big tribe, which is common sense. Now that the Liao army has been defeated, he naturally has to submit to it in order to survive.

Of course, the premise is that the other party who submits to the country has a strong force!

Zhang Heng shouted arrogantly: "My marshal manages seven states, with a population of one million, and there are 100,000 elite soldiers and strong generals under his command!" ”

When Han Sanding heard that Zhang Heng's marshal Nine-Pattern Dragon Shi Jin actually had 100,000 elite soldiers, he shouted in disbelief: "Really? ”

"What am I lying to you about a pawn? In a few days, you will see my marshal personally leading a large army. Then you'll be able to see it for yourself! Zhang Heng shouted disdainfully.

"The little one is willing to submit to the general and lead the horse for the general!" Han Sanding hurriedly shouted.

"You have a vision. When the gates are about to open, you can help pacify the people. Do a good job, I can't lose you! Zhang Heng took out a tael of broken silver from his arms and threw it over.

When Han Sanding saw the silver, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly caught the silver and shouted loudly: "Yes, the little one will do his best, General Xie, General Xie!" ”

……

The fierce killing last night frightened the people outside the shepherd city, and wherever they dared to run out and knock on the end, they used wooden planks and heavy objects to block the doors and windows. Worried, I was afraid to usher in the belated sunshine of winter.

When the screaming had subsided, the people cautiously peered out through the cracks in the doors and windows. Hopefully we can find out what happened last night.

When it was almost time, Zhang Heng took the Liao soldiers into custody and completely took over the Shepherd City, so he sent Han Sanding with a group of patrols to maintain order while posting notices along the road and loudly publicizing at the same time.

The content of the notice is actually very simple, just saying that the soldiers and horses of the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin have occupied Shepherd City and will liberate Suzhou. The army will be strictly disciplined, and will not commit any offense to the people, so that the people will not be afraid and panic, and continue their daily life and labor.

Seeing that no one broke through the door of their house and rushed in to grab something, the people cautiously walked out of the house one by one to look outside.

Looking at the black banner with the word "history" hanging high on the head of the shepherd city, the people of Liao were very puzzled, who is this nine-pattern dragon Shi Jin?
