When the new army set out from Jizhou and rushed to Yingzhou, because of the rush of time, it was too late to carry all the heavy loads, and most of them still stayed in Jizhou and Pingzhou. After the new army besieged Yingzhou, the border troops of Jizhou and Pingzhou transported the heavy weight needed by the army to attack Yingzhou to the front line in batches.

After arriving in Yingzhou, Li Congjing did not rush to attack the city, but had been making preparations before the siege, waiting for the arrival of the siege equipment, and then launched a thunderous blow to Yingzhou City. After all, Yingzhou is a strong city, and Kuchi is also quick to sit in Yingzhou and prepare for a long time, which cannot be underestimated, and the plan for today is to take advantage of the weakness of the low morale of the Khitan army and not give them a chance to re-establish confidence. In view of the current situation, the best strategy of the Youzhou army is undoubtedly to break the enemy if it does not move.

In order to stick to Yingzhou, during the previous days in Yingzhou, the city defense of Yingzhou was strictly arranged. His arrangement is divided into three aspects, or three levels. First of all, on the outer layer, Kuchi Yesuer spread the rangers dozens of miles away, established a regular patrol mechanism for the rangers, and used the rangers and scouts to form a tight pre-war patrol network. Secondly, outside the city of Yingzhou, a large number of fortifications were built, wooden piles were erected on the ground, horse pits were built, ditches and moats were widened and deepened, and sheep walls were erected. Finally, the city wall was heightened and reinforced, and the equipment such as the rod and wolf tooth paddle were supplemented, and the NVC rolling wood and arrows were extremely abundant, and the earth mountain was built at the corner of the city wall, and a tall arrow tower was built on the earth mountain.

Through the triple defense of China and foreign countries here, Kuchi also quickly arranged the Yingzhou City as solid, which made people daunting, and the ordinary army and commanders saw it, not to mention conquering this city, I am afraid that even the courage to attack the city will be greatly reduced.

In the turning period of the attack on Liaodong and the critical moment of resisting Li Congjing's northward movement, Yelu Abaoji handed over the heavy responsibility of garrisoning Yingzhou to him, which is indeed not without reason.

Yelu wants to hide his violent nature, and his military style is also treacherous and bold, full of aggression and aggression, which can be described as a spear; Ku Chi is also quick to have a stable temperament, Mu Ne said little, correspondingly, his soldiers are cautious and serious, and they do not leak, which can be described as a shield. One relaxation, one attack and one defense, using Yelu Xiangyin and Kuchi Yesuer to partner with each other, complement each other, and reject Li Congjing, which is also Yelu Abaoji's good intentions.

However, for the defense of Yingzhou City, Mo Li just gave a four-word evaluation, "Be a turtle shell in vain." ”

For the combination of Yelu Xiangyin and Ku Chi also fast attacking and defending, Mo Li's evaluation can also be described as spicy, "Laugh in vain!" ”

Mo Li's disdain for Yelu Xiangyin and Kuchi Yesu'er in his words, and even disdainful of them, was revealed by these eight words.

When Mo Li said these words, Li Congjing was looking at the railing, and under his feet, a steady stream of heavy equipment, under the escort of Lu Long's border army, converged into the barracks in a long line.

Although the city defense of Yingzhou is tight, for Li Congjing, a city to be attacked does not matter whether the city defense is strong or not, let alone daunting, only how to conquer it.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, that's all.

Kuchi is also quick to defend, so there is only one choice left for Li Congjing at this time: he is good at attacking.

He must attack it well, for he must take the city.

On the wall of Yingzhou, Yelu wanted to hide his trauma, walked up to the city, and accompanied by Kuchi Yesuer, observed the Tang army outside the city. After Yelu wanted to hide after waking up, he did not intend to kill Kuchi and Su'er, and it was not good to kill the generals before the battle, and Yingzhou City still needed Kuchi and Su'er to defend it to resist the Tang army.

However, although Yelu wants to hide his temperament, he is also a scheming person, and his joy and anger are invisible, and this time he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, and wanted to behead the general, which shows how big the blow he has received.

However, at this time, Yelu who walked up to the city was no longer half of the gloom of defeat, the whole person was full of energy, and his face was even more gentle than before, and it didn't look like he had just experienced a fiasco, but a big victory. In fact, Yerod slept well last night, and he knew that he was going to face a big battle next, so he needed to recuperate.

Looking at the Tang army company camp outside the city, Yelu wanted to hide his expression and said to Ku Chi Ye'er: "I have a strong city, good generals, and tiger soldiers here, and even if Li Congjing has 100,000 troops, it will be difficult to break my city!" The general is good at guarding the city, don't let Ben Shuai down this time! ”

"Don't worry, the Tang Army wants to conquer Yingzhou, if there is no March, it will be impossible!" When Hu Chi Ye Su'er said this, his tone was very decisive, he did not exaggerate, he really had this certainty, even if the Khitan army has lost troops in Yannan, and there are only 5,000 Khitan troops in Yingzhou City, but the generals are united, and Yelu wants to hide his encouragement, which is the reason why he has this conclusion.

Yelu wants to bow his head slightly, his demeanor is calm, and he has the demeanor of a general.

However, the next scene he saw made Yelu Yuyin and Huchi Yesuer unable to continue to be calm.

Outside the city, the long dragon is also like a heavy man and horse that merges into the Tang army's company camp, like a river flowing into the sea, endlessly.

At first, Yelu Xiangyin and Kuchi Yesu'er didn't care about this, but after the Tang army continued to replenish the Tang camp for three consecutive days, in the face of the countless hill-like siege equipment groups built up inside and outside the Tang camp, Yelu Yuyin and Kuchi Yesu'er's faces became extremely unsightly.

"Li Congjing, this is cheating! Is he crazy? Where did he come from so much siege heavy! What is he going to do, is he going to launch a decisive battle with my Great Khitan Kingdom?! ”

Compared with Yelu Xiangyin, who has always been a famous general before, graceful and graceful, and at this time he has no grace to jump and scold Yelu Xiangyin, and Hu Chi Su'er's face is not good to see where to go, he is different from Yelu Xiangyin, as the Khitan general with the deepest attainments in the offensive and defensive battles of the city today, he can better know what it means that the Tang Army has transported so much baggage.

However, Yelu Xiangyin has a sentence that is very right, Li Congjing is not planning to attack the city at all, if you don't care about the number of troops, only in terms of baggage, the siege equipment carried by the Tang army, it may be an exaggeration to say that the decisive battle of the country will be launched, but it is definitely enough to attack a large area of land!

The Youzhou Army's baggage replenishment was not completed in three days, but lasted for five days. During these five days, the Youzhou army drove the Khitan soldiers captured by Yannan, pulled out the wooden stakes outside the camp for them, filled the trenches, and prepared for the siege.

When facing their own clansmen, Yelu Xiangyin and Kuchi Yesu'er had no compassion, and the sharp arrows on the city wall were poured down like rain, no matter how the Khitan captives who were driven away cried and called their fathers and mothers, it had no effect.

After all the baggage arrived, Li Congjing spent a whole day arranging these instruments in various places outside Yingzhou City in order to maximize their effectiveness.

After everything was ready, Li Congjing held a military meeting and prepared to start attacking the city.

"In order to protect Yingzhou, Kuchi also set up three lines of defense in China and abroad. Its peripheral rangers and scouts, hunted by the sharp soldiers and scouts of our military intelligence department, soon collapsed, and therefore the new army was able to successfully reach the city of Yingzhou; The wooden piles, horse pits, and trenches outside Yingzhou City have been almost solved after this period of treatment; Next, it's time to meet the last line of defense. At the military meeting, Li Congjing used these words as his opening remarks. The purpose of discussing the achievements of the past few days is to boost morale before the battle, but the generals in the tent are all full of fighting spirit, and as soon as he said this, all the generals have asked for war and asked to be the vanguard.

Li Congjing waved his hand, and after the generals quieted down, he smiled and motioned to Mo Li: "How to arrange the siege battle this time, and listen to the arrangement of the military division first." "In the army, there are positions such as military advisors and sergeants sacrificing wine, which is not Li Congjing's joke. Mo Li, Wang Pu, Du Qianshu and others themselves have official positions in Youzhou, but since they went to war with the army, Li Congjing also gave them military status.

Mo Li shook the folding fan that he had never left in his hand, "This siege arrangement, after the military commander and us discussed, will be divided into two steps. The first step was to "fold the folding fan, go to the location of Yingzhou City on the map, and use a word that he learned from Li Congjing, "Bomb!" ”

The next day, the sky was dawning, and there was a loud roar outside Yingzhou City!

Hundreds of heavy catapults, unfolding their fuselages, spreading their arms, rolling up boulders, launched a covering intensive bombardment of Yingzhou City!

Inside and outside the city wall of Yingzhou, the stones suddenly fell like rain. The Khitan soldiers on the city wall fled for their lives in panic, and various defensive facilities gradually collapsed.

On this day, more than 10,000 boulders fell inside and outside the city wall, countless people collapsed and collapsed the female wall of Yingzhou, and the Khitan soldiers suffered heavy casualties!

For three days in a row, day after day.

On the fourth day, the Youzhou army, which was waiting for the battle, poured out of the barracks, carrying countless siege vehicles and siege ladders, and rushed to the Yingzhou city wall, which was already unrecognizable and full of flaws!

The overwhelming ironclad frenzy, the beacon smoke burning in all directions, the rain of arrows like weaving, and the hedgehog-like Yingzhou city was shattered.

On the same day, the city was broken!

The Youzhou army swarmed in and slaughtered into the city, and the Khitan army scurried with their heads in their hands, kneeling down in pieces, wailing and begging to surrender.

The siege lasted less than a day, and there was no more fighting in Yingzhou City.

In the afternoon of the same day, the slanting sun was low, the gate of Yingzhou City was opened, and Li Congjing was surrounded by ten thousand troops, riding a horse and marching slowly into the city.

When the Japanese army reported that Yelu wanted to hide in Youzhou when the army began a general attack, he did not resist for a moment, that is, abandoned the city and fled in embarrassment.

When he got the military report, Mo Li smiled contemptuously: "When attacking the northern border of Jizhou, when the war horse was far away, Yelu wanted to hide how high-spirited, regarded us as fish and meat, and could be slaughtered wantonly, and even threatened to destroy my Youzhou army!" Now that it is not yet ten months, I don't even have the courage to fight with us, and at the end of the battle, I fled alone, like a lost dog, how ironic! ”

Li Congjing smiled faintly and did not answer.

Mo Li knew Li Congjing's temperament very well, and when he saw his appearance, he knew that Li Congjing didn't bother to comment at all.

Mo Li remembered a sentence that Li Congjing had said before the war.

"Fighting one country with one place, I can't do it, but with the land of Lulong and Kyushu, accumulated over several years, I want to break a small city, heh-Kunpeng plays with grasshoppers!"

From time to time, Kuchi and Su'er's head were sent up, and he glanced at Kuchi and Su'er's bloody head, and saw that Li Congjing was not interested in looking more, Mo Li waved his hand, which made people lose it.

He sighed in his heart: "Kuchi is also fast, you are indeed good at guarding, according to the intelligence of the military intelligence department, in the Khitan country, you are the person with the deepest attainment in the offensive and defensive battles of the city." However, it didn't help. The essence of the Han people's tactics, you have only just scratched the surface. After today, you should have learned how my Tang army attacked the city - unfortunately, you can only use this skill in the next life. ”
