Chapter 1149 The marshal has an order, the forward army, and the siege of the city

At noon, the sky was overcast, full of dark clouds, and in the gusts of wind, the dark clouds drifted lightly, wandering and gathering in the air.

Gradually, in the sky, the dark clouds grew thicker, heavier, and grayer, like a melancholy face, covering the sky.

Soon, a gust of wind swept across the land from the north, and the air raised up puffs of sand and dust, making the sky look more and more melancholy, and with this, the sound of thunder, in the gray clouds, roared like a wild beast hiding in the clouds, and let out a hysterical roar.

In the midst of the strong winds, the sky is heavy and dark, as if the angry waves in the river and sea are rolling, roaring and rushing

According to this posture, a thunderstorm seems to be about to come, washing this world.

Inside and outside Yanjing, two armies have already opened their formations inside and outside the city, and a fierce battle is like a thunderstorm in the air, maybe in a moment, it will suddenly erupt.

Inside and outside the city walls, the leaves were blown by the strong wind, rattling, like giants, waving their palms violently,

The east gate of Yanjing City, the main battlefield of the two armies of Yan and Song, the troops of both sides are concentrated inside and outside the east gate.

At this moment, at the head of the east gate, the banner crackled in the strong wind, and in the corridor of the city wall, the Yan army generals, holding the soldiers, like poplar trees standing at the head of the city.

Behind the defenders, in the wide aisle, countless densely packed bed crossbows were neatly placed, extending to the end of the city.

Under the crossbow of the bed, bundles of spears are neatly stacked, and the handle of the gun is tied to the oil and fire, and before firing, the fire oil and fire are ignited, which will deal a heavy blow to any invading enemy.

Lei Jieying, Lei Zhanhu, wearing a helmet, stood at the head of the city, vigilant against the Song army outside the city.

Many people in the city spontaneously formed a volunteer team to transport rolling logs, boulders, and boiling water to the city wall, and strive to make Yanjing City become an iron wall, no matter how fierce the Song army's attack was, no matter how sharp the ordnance was, they would not want to get close to Yanjing City, let alone set foot on the city half a step.

Yanjing City, in front of the 60,000 Song troops outside the city, is like a giant, coiled in the middle of the field, majestic and majestic.

Outside the east gate, Meng Kuo led the army to arrange the troops, and the forward placed siege vehicles and ladders, and the Song army wearing armor next to him, holding a gun and a crossbow, stood violently.

Behind the striker, many catapults, bed crossbows, lined up, as if countless tall giants, about to quickly climb the mountain Yanjing City, step on the city.

Countless boulders and spears were placed next to the tall ordnance, and the defenders of the Quartet sharpened their guns, and waited for the military order, so they could not hide their ears and launched a fierce attack on Yanjing City.

In the rear, Meng Kuo, Cao Kun, Bai Yufei, led the Song army, and the army formed a phalanx, holding shields, war knives, blazing eyes, staring at Yanjing City.

With the bursts of thunder coming from the air, everyone was ready to attack the city and fight the Song army, as if the demon who had escaped from hell was about to emerge in Yanjing City.

At the beginning, how the Yan army inflicted the humiliation on Kaifeng City, they will double it and return it in full.

In the center of the army, Meng Kuo held a knife, his face was cold, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and he still did not move in the face of the thunder that sounded in the air from time to time.

On his left and right, Bai Yufei and Cao Kun looked serious, their palms tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, bursts of thunder sounded in their ears, and their bodies couldn't help but tense, as if they were very nervous.

Click, click!

There was thunder in the air again, drawing blue light in the gloomy sky, as if to split the dark sky in half.

It also made the atmosphere more and more tense in front of Yanjing City, and the wind was full of wind and rain when the mountain rain was coming, and the conflict broke out at the moment.

Hearing the sound, Bai Yufei, Cao Kun shuddered, and tightened his grip more and more, Bai Yufei turned his head on his horse, approached Meng Kuo, looked at Meng Kuo with a calm expression, and said softly: "Dashuai, the weather is not good, the thunder is loud, the weather is cloudy, and the heavy rain is coming soon, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to the siege of the Song army, the last general proposed, can the siege be temporarily postponed?"

In early summer, the weather changed dramatically, yesterday, when they led the troops to Yanjing City in a hurry, the sky was already gloomy, and in the rapid march last night, the bright moon in the night sky had disappeared, and the weather changed dramatically today.

In an unfavorable climate, if the city is forcibly attacked, once the battle rains heavily, it will not only delay the offensive of the Song army, but also will be very unfavorable to the Song army's siege. Deal a serious blow to the momentum of the whole army.

What's more, if it really rains and the battlefield situation becomes more and more vicious, the Yan army refuses to defend the city, there is no need to be afraid, the Song army will attack the city, and the difficulty will be doubled.

However, Meng Kuo's face was firm and unquestionable, and he said loudly: "General Bai, General Cao, Emperor Yan is always leading the troops back, leaving us not much chance, not to mention that it has not rained yet, today, even if the swords and guns fall in the sky, the Song army must attack the city and capture Yanjing City."

"Marshal, it will take a few days for Emperor Yan to lead the army to return, if I wait in the thunder and lightning and brave the rain to attack the city, I am afraid that it will shake the heart of the army." Although Meng Kuo's words were very serious, Cao Kun still disobeyed the military order.

At this moment, Guo Wanjun led 20,000 Song troops to Cangyan Mountain to capture the royal family of Yan State.

"As a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, a native of the Yan Kingdom, all the humiliation given to us, we have to return it tenfold, a hundred times, today, who dares to persuade Ben Shuai, change his strategy, stop attacking the city, and blame Ben Shuai for being ruthless and ruthless, and not remembering the friendship of the past."

At this point, Meng Kuo's words were already very heavy, Cao Kun and Bai Yufei didn't dare to argue anymore, and they had no choice but to bow their heads.

"Yes!"

Kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, Bai Yufei looked embarrassed, and secretly gasped, but the military order was like a mountain, and he didn't dare to resist, so he could only speak coldly and hold his fists.

Cao Kun also looked embarrassed, wanting to dissuade Meng Kuo again, but when he heard the order, he also swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

In the battle of Yan and Song, Kaifeng City, the imperial city of the Song Kingdom, was occupied by the Yan army, and the empress was expelled by the Yan army.

However, it was not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and Meng Kuo's actions were too eager for quick success and quick profit, regardless of the safety of the Song army.

At this time, Meng Kuo's expression was cold and solemn, his eyes looked in the direction of Yanjing City, and on the aisle of the city wall, the Yan army was densely defended, and the number was so large that it was not at all like there were only 20,000 defenders in the city.

However, the Song army has arrived at the east gate of Yanjing City and set up a siege position, and at this moment, evacuation, which is not good for the Song army.

Meng Kuo couldn't help but ask coldly: "General Cao, General Bai, is the news sent back by the secret agents reliable, why is it that in the news sent back by the spies, there are only 20,000 defenders in Yanjing City, but the defenders at the head of the city seem to be as many as 50,000 or 60,000?"

Today, he made a desperate bet to lead his troops to forcibly capture Yanjing City, if there were more defenders in the city, it would not be conducive to attacking the city, but the Song army would suffer heavy casualties.

"Dashuai, the secret agent sent back the news, it is absolutely correct!" Cao Kun looked up at the city wall, although the number of defenders in the city wall exceeded the number reported by the spies, he still said categorically: "Unless there is a place to hide troops near the Yan army, and the secret agents have not learned about it in advance, otherwise no matter how many defenders there are on the city wall, it will all be pretentious."

Bai Yufei was silent for a while, suddenly raised his head, took a long breath, his face was melancholy, and said: "Dashuai, General Cao, the Yan people are still martial, the people are fierce, and more importantly, the veterans of the Yan Kingdom have always had the tradition of being in danger of war and returning to the battlefield.

Today, on the wall of Yanjing City, many defenders suddenly appeared, and if the last general's guess was correct, most of them were veterans of Yanguo, and ordinary people who spontaneously participated in the war."

"Hmph, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people dare to stop the Song army's expedition, and they can't do it." Meng Kuo heard the voice, the type of doubts dispelled, and said angrily.

The battle of Yancheng was the turning point of the battle of Yan and Song, the Song army of Yancheng was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of troops were severely damaged.

Seeing that the veterans of the Yan State who had severely damaged the Song army in the past reappeared and wanted to block the Song army's advance, Meng Kuo couldn't help but be angry, turned his head to Cao Kun and said, "General Cao, the weather has changed abruptly, order the flying army to stop attacking."

"Yes!" Cao Kun head.

Click

At this moment, another thunderclap sounded in the air, followed by a thunderclap click, as if an angry god roared, one after another, sounded in the air.

The thunder stopped, and in the gusts of cold wind, raindrops fell.

Meng Kuo felt raindrops falling on his cheeks, raised his head, looked at the gloomy sky, sneered, and said: "Bai Yufei, beat the drums, order the forward army to attack the city, no matter how many veterans of the Yan Kingdom in Yanjing City, use catapults and bed crossbows for Ben Shuai, storm Yanjing City, and wash Yanjing in blood to avenge the revenge of Yancheng City."

The raindrops fell, and Meng Kuo sent a large army to attack the city, hoping to capture Yanjing City when the heavy rain stopped, so as to avenge the revenge of Yancheng and wash away the shame of Kaifeng City being captured by the Yan army.

"Yes!" Bai Yu bowed his head, turned around on horseback, came to the rear, and said to the drummer: "Beat the drums, order the forward army to start the siege."

The drummer got the order and hurriedly and anxiously commanded.

"Beat the drums!"

"Beat the drums!"

The drummer shouted coldly and ordered all the drummers to prepare for the battle.

In an instant, six drummers grabbed the drum hammer and slammed it on the drum surface.

Bang bang

Bang bang bang

Click,

Click

The drums sounded, and the thunder in the air also sounded, as if they were taking care of each other with the Song army.

Bai Yufei was afraid that the thunder would cover up the drums, and the besieging army in front would not be able to get the military order, so he sent his guards to the front and personally rode his horse to the front to remind the combat armies to start the siege.

The guards rode forward, shuttled through the center of the counties, and shouted coldly: "The commander has an order, the forward army, attack the city."

"The commander has an order, the forward army, siege the city!"

"The commander has an order, the forward army, siege the city!"

At one time, Meng Kuo ordered the army to attack the city and convey the military order to the troops everywhere.

Hearing the general's order, the forward army of the Song army gradually became agitated, like a sleeping lion, gradually waking up and moving his body.

Ready to roar, open your teeth and claws, and start hunting your prey.

At this time, the forward general, grabbed the sword, raised it violently, and shouted loudly: "Siege army, prepare for battle quickly, all control catapults, bed crossbow soldiers, act immediately, and smash the Yanjing city wall into powder for Ben General."

As the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, they fought outside, did not participate in the defense of Kaifeng City, the imperial city changed hands, the emperor was chased and killed by the Yan army, today the soldiers are under Yanjing City, how much anger is hidden in everyone's hearts, at this time, all can be vented.
