The long-brewing Battle of Wuzhou finally began, and Zhao Yougong didn't have much worry about watching those Liao soldiers who were not afraid of death rushing across the wooden bridge with shouts. What he was interested in was that Yelu Dashi seemed to be very calm, even if it was the first time to attack the city, he was still so cautious, and only sent one-tenth of his men to attack the city, did he want to try his Zhao someone's methods first? In the clairvoyant mirror, the camp of the Liao people's headquarters can see it clearly, since Yelu Dashi has reservations, then he Zhao has to hide something.

"Sanniang, order to go down, let the Liao people attack the city, and let go of the means behind first" Zhao Yougong ordered to go down, and Sanniang ran to pass the order. The generals of the four city walls listened to the words of King Zhao Xiaojun, and they were also confused, in order to defend the city, they had prepared a lot of tricks, why did His Highness still hide it?

Gao Zhong and the others couldn't figure it out, and seeing that Han Shizhong was calm, they leaned over and asked, "Liangchen, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd of Your Highness?" ”

"Hehe, Chank, haven't you noticed? Isn't there too few people attacking the city for the first time? Yelu Dashi intends to use this person to try our means of defending the city, so as to deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to cause too many casualties. ”

Gao Chong touched his chin and thought for a while, and he also figured it out, he nodded and muttered in a low voice, "This Yelu barbarian is really smart, it's okay, let the Liao people taste Gao's knife first." ”

Gao Zhong used the most convenient silver spear, but standing on the head of the city, it was really inconvenient, he put the silver spear on the back battlements, and then copied the phoenix knife of the deputy general Wu Hua in his hand, "Brothers, let the Liao people come up, don't release the arrows first!" ”

Horns rumble outside the city. Drums beat. But the city was unusually calm. The Liao soldiers rushed all the way over, almost without encountering the slightest obstruction, from crossing the moat to setting up a cloud ladder, which surprised everyone. The Liao soldiers who besieged the city were also a little unable to turn around, and the siege iron used to meet the bow and arrow to greet them, and under the wall, it was also rubble and rolling wood. Some Han people in the city still beckoned to the west of the city with spears, and some people waved their hands in half-baked Khitan dialect and shouted, "Khitan dog, come up, Daddy has been waiting for you for a long time."

Confused, not only confused, but also very angry, the Han people are so arrogant. Do you think the Khitan man's scimitar is not good? Yelu Dashi also sent some longbowmen to prepare under the city at first, just to prevent the Han people from shooting arrows. At first, the Han people hid behind the battlements, and when the Da Liao warriors climbed the ladder, in order to prevent accidental injury, the longbowmen did not dare to release the arrows. Hundreds of cloud ladders are erected around Wuzhou, the Liao people climb to the city head one by one, and the city head guards do not stop, so they climb very smoothly, and when they pass the two iron rod nets, there is a problem, because the gap is narrow, and the head of the iron rod is too sharp, so the Liao soldiers must lean out to dodge, but there are some who are not afraid of death, and directly grab the iron rod with both hands, and as a result, as soon as they grab the iron rod, they are cut by the hidden thorn hook above, and many people scream and roll down directly from the cloud ladder.

The people under the ladder didn't understand what was going on with the fallen companions, and a centurion asked with a dark face, "What's going on?" How did it fall off well? ”

A Liao soldier who broke his leg turned pale, and replied with a shudder, "There are thorns on the iron rod, so I grabbed it, and I drew such a big hole" Saying that, the Liao soldier spread out his hands, and the centurion looked down, only to see that the Liao soldier had a deep wound on both palms, which looked like they had been cut with a knife, the skin and flesh turned out, and the blood was dripping.

The centurion frowned, and had to order his soldiers not to grab the iron rods, and it was better to hide. The same order was also issued in other departments, this order was also to avoid unnecessary casualties among the Liao soldiers, but to avoid the iron rods, the speed of climbing up was immediately blocked, and the two iron rod nets brought heavy psychological pressure to the Liao soldiers besieging the city.

The Liao soldiers finally climbed to the top of the city, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army who had been waiting for a long time also began to counterattack, some of them blocked the city with knives, and cut down the Liao soldiers who showed their heads. When blocking the enemy, there are also people holding very thick ropes in their hands, and set them on both sides of the ladder, and then more than 20 people pull back together on each rope. Most of the ladders used by the Liao people to attack the city are made of wood, the two sides are ridges, and the middle is worn by a horizontal log, and even the iron nails that nail the horizontal wood are rarely used.

There is no ladder, the Liao soldiers who climbed up stared and fell down, those who climbed halfway were fine, and they would be injured at most if they fell to the ground, but they would not fall to death, but those who climbed halfway, especially those who crossed the two iron rod nets, were unlucky. At the beginning, the Liao people regarded Wuzhou as the northwest gateway, so the Wuzhou city wall was high and thick, the total height was about 12 zhang, and the climb to half was 6 zhang (about 18 meters), such a height, unless there was a light skill, otherwise the fall could not die and had to be seriously injured. As for those who climb higher, there is no need to mention it.

"Ah" A lot of Liao soldiers fell on the iron rod, and the powerful impact force directly hit the body in severe pain, because the iron rod tilted downward, the body of the Liao soldiers rolled directly along the iron rod, and those barbs exerted their power. It's warm spring now, and I have very little clothes on my body, and those sharp barbs directly pierce my clothes and scratch my skin.

Bang, one by one, the Liao soldiers fell under the city wall like birds with broken wings. Falling from the city wall, coupled with the fact that the Liao soldiers had already laid down the grass piles and other soft objects under the city, so there were not many who really fell to death, but there were many injuries, most of them were fractures, and the Liao soldiers who were barbed by the iron rod were the worst, and the wounds were about an inch deep, which made them miserable, and they could only lie on the ground and keep rolling. The first siege of the city, tens of thousands of people were dispatched, but in less than half an hour, Yelu Dashi Mingjin withdrew his troops. After the besiegers returned to the camp, the various departments counted the number of people, and finally reported back to the big tent, Yelu Dashi glanced at it, and his brows jumped wildly.

After only one tentative siege, the Han people suffered half of the casualties before they could exert much force. Yelu Dashi had never fought such a battle in his life, and called the centurions who were in charge of the siege into the tent, Yelu Dashi asked with a calm brow. "What the hell is going on. Why are there so many casualties? ”

Listen to Yelu Dashi ask. An older Liao general bowed and replied, "Marshal, the two rows of iron rods on the city wall are too annoying, and there are many barbs on them, many of our brothers are unknown and have been scratched by those barbs. ”

In the midst of the full tent, all the Liao generals were gray-faced and attacked the city for the first time. There were not many dead, but many were wounded, and most of the wounded were cut by barbs on iron rods. One of the worst is that there is a Liao soldier who fell down alone, and was directly cut by the barb and cut his belly, and when he fell to the bottom, the intestines were dragged out, and the tragic situation at that time scared many veterans trembling.

Listening to the centurions' reply, Yelu Dashi felt a headache, and at first he really didn't think that the two rows of iron rods could be of much use. I never thought that this siege would bring so much damage to the Daliao warriors. After pondering for a while, he turned to Zige, the commander of the Xuanwei Battalion, and asked, "Zige, is there a way to knock out those iron rods?" ”

Hearing Yelu Dashi's question, Qi Ge shook his head very dryly, "Hui Dashuai, at first, the general and several generals also thought about doing this, but I don't know what method the Han people used, nailed those iron rods to the city wall, and if you want to knock off the iron rods, you have to use an oil hammer to smash them." ”

Smash with an oil hammer? Almost didn't think much about it, Yelu Dashi felt that this trick was unreliable, first of all, lying on the ladder was different from standing on the ground, whether he could swing the heavy oil hammer on the ladder was the same thing, and secondly, would the Han people watch the Da Liao warriors slowly knock the iron rod with the oil hammer? The trick of smashing the iron rods with an oil hammer and other objects was not reliable, so the generals pondered together, and after about half a cup of tea, Gunari said, "Great Shuai, why not wrap those iron rods with straw bark and other things, so that those barbs will lose their effectiveness." ”

Xiao Gan's method is not bad, Yelu Dashi hurriedly asked people to prepare, before the time came, the Liao soldiers who had not long retreated gathered troops to attack the city again, this time the Liao soldiers not only strengthened the ladder, many people also held bundles of strings of straw and other things. At the head of the city, Han Shizhong frowned, what do those Khitan barbarians want to do? It didn't matter for Han Shizhong to wonder for too long, the Liao people had already given the answer in person, just like last time, the Liao soldiers climbed up the ladder in a swarm, and the top one directly tied the straw bark in his arms to the iron rod, and this time, those barbs lost their effect. The biggest obstacle to the siege was solved, and the morale of the Liao soldiers was great, and they rushed up with a roar.

Han Shizhong is not brainless, he has a long knife to block the enemy's rear, and he sent someone to get some of the fire oil stored in the back, sprinkle the fire oil, and put a fire, the bark of the straw that has just been tied immediately turned into ashes, the fire does not stop, and it directly ignites the grass pile that the Liao soldiers themselves laid below. The next thing is much more convenient, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army at the head of the city still do not fight hard with the Liao soldiers, and specialize in destroying the ladder, this time the ladder is scattered, and the consequences are worse than the first time. Many of the iron rods had been baked by the fire and had become very hot, and the Liao soldiers fell on them, screaming at the hot wow, and the scorching barbs became sharper. A Liao soldier waved his hands and wailed loudly, he wanted to dodge those terrible barbs, so he used his hands to hold the iron bars, hoping to support his body, but he turned his body over, and his stomach slammed into the iron bar, the top of the iron bar was too sharp, and he directly stabbed the Liao soldier in half. Blood gushed out, and the shouts of the Liao soldiers became weaker and weaker, and until they died, they did not fall off the iron rod, and hung silently on the city wall of Wuzhou.

The Liao soldiers who died were okay, but the most painful ones were those who fell into the fire, they fell from a height, they were injured, and they were burned again, and suddenly many Liao soldiers went crazy, and some Liao generals also panicked, for the sake of those Liao soldiers who were eroded by the fire, they let people open the planks on the moat, and those Liao soldiers who were tormented by the fire almost instinctively jumped into the river.

The river flooded, and the fire was immediately extinguished, but many Liao soldiers continued to struggle, because many of them did not understand the nature of water. Helpless, I had to divide my troops to save those who fell into the river, and at this time, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army at the head of the city would not make the Liao soldiers so comfortable, and with an order, the arrows at the head of the city rained down, and in a blink of an eye, many Liao soldiers were nailed to death on both sides of the moat. Two sieges, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army used bows and arrows for the first time, the Liao soldiers were a little confused, but soon the Liao people reacted, under the command of those Liao generals, they used shields in front of them. The second siege of the city did not last for half an hour, and this time the death was even more miserable.

Attacked the city twice, and was beaten down without even climbing the head of the city, how could the Liao soldiers have suffered such a big loss over the years? Since the withdrawal of the army at the end of the time, Yelu Dashi has not ordered to continue the siege, and if he does not want to solve the two iron rod nets, he will not let his warriors die in vain. Attacking the city twice, just because of those two iron rod nets, the Daliao warriors paid a heavy price of tens of thousands and tens of thousands.

At the head of Wuzhou City, the Shuanglong Flag was waving in the wind, and Yelu Dashi at this time had a little admiration and a little hatred.

It really deserves to be the Dingguo Army, and the combat effectiveness shown today should not be underestimated, no wonder Yelusha will be defeated so badly, but I really want to meet Zhao Yougong, the king of Jinling.
