In the military tent, the atmosphere of the generals inviting the war is strong!

The four lieutenant generals have a strong fighting spirit, and they all have the idea of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions.

Above the military tent, Yue Zhenchuan heard the heroic words of the four lieutenant generals under the tent, and a thick smile rose on his face.

The generals were awe-inspiring, the main force of the Yan army withdrew from Yancheng and went to bury Mapo, Yancheng was empty, only with tens of thousands of remnants, how could they have the strength to defend Yancheng.

Without hesitation, Yue Zhenchuan's eyes fell on Huang Shaofeng, the Zhonglang general in front of him, and ordered loudly: "Huang Zhonglang, you personally receive more than 20,000 elites under the account, and immediately attack Yancheng, before sunset, the army must be stationed in Yancheng!" ”

Not long ago, he received news from a messenger that at sunset, the general Yu Zhendong, with the main army, together with Han Junshan and Zhao Yanpu, would arrive at the army.

For this reason, he hopes to take the opportunity to present a big gift to Yu Zhendong.

After all, in Yue Zhenchuan's eyes, the Yan army left behind in Yancheng is not a good basis, as long as the Song army moves a strong attack, the defenders of Yancheng will flee without a fight.

If it resists to the death, in the Song army's powerful siege equipment and the elite Song army's attack, Yancheng will be the tomb of the Yan army.

Huang Shaofeng listened to the order, rejoiced in his heart, and came out to hug his fists and said: "Don't worry, general, you don't need to wait for sunset, in two hours, the last general will capture Yancheng." ”

According to the spies, in Yancheng, the casualties of the Yan army, 20,000 were disabled veterans.

At this moment, he received a military order to attack the city, which was tantamount to Yue Zhenchuan giving him a great merit.

"Go ahead! Ben will be waiting for you to send back the good news as soon as possible! Yue Zhenchuan waved his hand and motioned for Huang Shaofeng to leave.

Huang Shaofeng turned around and left the military tent!

Soon, in the barracks, there was a rumbling war drum, and the Song army under Huang Shaofeng's tent gathered quickly, and there were bursts of shouts.

With a little effort, tens of thousands of elite Song troops gathered near Yuanmen, and under the leadership of Huang Shaofeng, this army was fierce and left the barracks.

More than ten miles away, in Yancheng, after Hou Mingfeng led the main army to leave, the atmosphere in the city suddenly became serious.

At this moment, every Yan army left behind in the city knew in their hearts that whether Yancheng could be kept or not depended on everyone.

If any of the soldiers retreat bravely, or if they are afraid of battle, they will inevitably cause great trouble.

However, the remaining generals in the city, Lei Zhanhu and Gu Yue, have a strong fighting spirit.

Although Gu Yue was a general of the Jin State, he saw with his own eyes that the lives of the people of the Jin State had changed greatly under the governance of Dayan, and they lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Therefore, he is willing to fight the battlefield for such a country.

Lei Zhanhu, Gu Yue led 20,000 veterans and 10,000 Blue Feather Legions, and seized the time to deploy defenses in Yancheng.

Their hearts are like mirrors, and with the power in their hands, if they want to defend Yancheng when the elite of the Song army is in the city, they will have a lot of pressure on their shoulders.

However, since the iron heart remained, they put life and death aside.

Even if there is a high probability of death in battle, it is not at stake.

What's more, they have turned Yancheng into a huge trap, once the city is broken, the Song army will break in, there will be no return, and they will not want to leave alive.

Lei Zhanhu and Gu Yue have a clear division of labor, Lei Zhanhu led 20,000 wounded veterans to arm in the city, bury fire, traps, deploy defenses everywhere, and prepare for street battles in the city after breaking the city.

Gu Yue led the Blue Feather Legion to the city wall, leaving behind rockets, bed crossbows, rolling wood and stones, and boiling boiling water, ready to defend the city wall for two days, or even longer.

If life and death are put aside, they will live and die with Yancheng.

In the afternoon, Huang Shaofeng led more than 20,000 Song troops, pushing siege vehicles, like foraging wolves, and arrived at the foot of Yancheng.

Huang Shaofeng stood in front of the Song army, looked at the defense of Yancheng in detail, and noticed that in the city, the Yan army was strictly guarding, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Maybe the Yan army has strong combat effectiveness, but in the absolute superiority, how can the Yan army defend it by virtue of Yancheng!

Within two hours, he led the elite of the Song army, and he would definitely capture the city easily.

Without staying too long, Huang Shaofeng ordered the whole army to quickly deploy defenses and want to preemptively prevent people.

Raising his sword, Huang Shaofeng was full of confidence and said to the four generals around him: "Wu Dutong, Li Dutong, you immediately lead the army, use the siege ladder, cloud ladder, and quickly attack the city."

Bai Dutong and Wang Dutong used catapults to suppress the Yan army on the city wall, help Wu Dutong, and Li Dutong to weaken the threat of the Yan army. ”

"Yes!" All four of them clasped their fists and quickly got ready.

Huang Shaofeng rode on his war horse and looked at the Yan army with a serious expression above the city wall with a smile.

Although in the siege battle, the siege army needed more soldiers, but he had a powerful siege armament, not only was it not difficult to siege the city, but even if he dug Yancheng three feet into the ground, it was also a simple matter.

In the city, Lei Zhanhu and Gu Yue got a report from the guards, arrived at the city tower from the palace and arrived condescendingly, witnessing the dynamics of the Song army under the city.

Lei Zhanhu said bluntly: "General Gu, it seems that the Song army is in a hurry, it has arrived so soon!" ”

The time when the Song army appeared, out of the thunder and the tiger's expectations, according to his estimate, the Song army will be in the city at sunset at the earliest. Now just after noon, the elite of the Song army came to the city, indicating that any move in Yancheng was under the surveillance of the Song army's secret agents.

However, it was simply wishful thinking for the Song army to conquer Yancheng with more than 20,000 troops under the city wall.

When Gu Yue heard this, his eyes shifted to the Song army who was actively preparing for war under the city wall, and said with a smile: "The more anxious the Song army is, the stronger the attack, which shows that the more they don't take us seriously."

Today, let the Song army see that even if the Yan army is weak, it can still severely damage the invading enemy.

General Lei, command the whole army, go to war! ”

The Yan army above the city wall, when the traces of the Song army appeared, had all entered a state of battle.

At present, in the face of the Song army preparing for war under the city wall, the Yan army is full of momentum and a strong fighting atmosphere.

What's more, when deploying the city defense, Gu Yue knew that the Song Bureau was numerous and menacing, and wanted to seize Yancheng, so he specially sent defenders to the city wall, and all the bed crossbows in the city were guarded in the corridor of the city wall, wanting to take the lead.

Hearing the sound, Lei Zhanhu grabbed the ring knife in his left hand and ordered the guards beside him: "Beat the drum, fight!" ”

Bang, bang, bang!

On the city tower, the drum hammer smashed on the drum surface, setting off bursts of ripples, rumbling drums, from the city tower to all sides!

In the corridor, the Yan army, which had long been prepared to defend against the enemy, heard the sound of drums from the city tower.

A general, waving a ring knife tightly clenched in his hand, roared loudly: "Brothers, get on the spear and shoot!" ”

"Yes!"

The veterans on the city walls, hearing the sound of the drums, have already moved into action, armed with spears, filling the bed crossbows.

At this moment, I heard the orders of the front-line generals to shoot the spear above the crossbow of the bed quickly.

The Yan army defending the city is all veterans brought by Lei Zhanhu, and as for the 10,000 Blue Feather Legion, after Lei Zhanhu and Gu Yue discussed, it is of great use.

Some of the defenders in the aisle were injured in the eyes, arms, and legs, and they were all soldiers who had been wounded on the battlefield and had left the army.

However, they have an aura that ordinary soldiers do not have.

After all, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, who have experienced life and death battles, and most of them come from the most elite troops of the Yan Army, even including blade soldiers, and they have also experienced even dangerous wars.

Even if their bodies are crippled and sick, they go to the battlefield, the familiar environment, and the familiar smell make them quickly return to their murderous appearance every day.

"Kill!"

The whole army moved quickly, quickly set up spears in the bed crossbow, and with a wild shout, the Yan army controlling the bed crossbow in the aisle fired a volley of spears.

Suddenly, an overwhelming rain of gunfire shot shot from the city wall.

These man-long spears, like wild horses, pierced through the air, like huge waves in the air, spread down from the top of the heavenly city wall, and rushed straight to the Song army's forward siege army.

The Song army, which was hurrying forward under the city wall with a ladder and a siege vehicle, looked up when they heard the sound of killing coming from above the city wall.

"Lie down!"

Wu Dutong and Li Dutong, who were in charge of the main attack, looked up at the city wall, and now the sky was dense with spears, as if the locusts were attacking in transit.

Panicked for a moment, he raised his war knife and subconsciously shouted to Song Jun, who was driving the ladder on all sides.

They all knew that in Yancheng, there were not many elites of the Yan army, and the lotion relied on the strong battle scene to deter the Yan army.

The Song army marched in all directions, and in the process of moving forward, he heard the roar of the capital, quickly threw away the cloud ladder, and lay directly on the ground, trying to avoid the rain of arrows in the air.

However, on the city wall, the target of the Yan army's attack was by no means the Song army, which was moving fast under the city, on the contrary, it was a powerful catapult in the distance.

Whether it is Lei Zhanhu or Gu Yue, they all have rich combat experience, especially Lei Zhanhu, who once followed Zhao Hongru and led the ironclad infantry to fight in the south and the north, and participated in countless large-scale battles.

When he was in Liang, he was fortunate enough to participate in the battle against the Song army, and he knew very well what the Song army was relying on.

Therefore, if you want to hold on to Yancheng for two days, you must successfully destroy the catapults that are traveling in the distance at the beginning of the battle, and greatly reduce the damage to the city wall.

As for the Song army under the city wall, dragging the ladder and crawling forward, there is no need to worry at all. Relying on the city wall alone, the rain of arrows shot from the crossbows, rolling wood and boiling water were enough to easily defeat the Song army.

The spears burst through the air, and they shot at the catapults hundreds of paces below the city, and many of the catapults that were moving forward were attacked by spears and destroyed.

The Song army, which pushed the catapult forward, was attacked by spears, penetrated, shot away, and suffered heavy casualties.

The soldiers of Song were screaming in panic, and they all fled with their heads in their hands, and near the catapult, there was a sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves.

The war does not seem to be as easy as Huang Shaofeng imagined.
