Shuozhou City Head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Gu climbed up again, because the Liao army was once again gathered under the city of Shuozhou, and saw that another wave of offensive was about to form.

Although the Liao soldiers still looked at Shuozhou City with fear in their eyes at this time, they didn't know what method the Liao generals used, they didn't dare to escape, and they didn't dare to make a noise.

It seems that for those generals of the Liao State, a simple bomb made of black powder cannot scare them.

A new round of offensive and defensive battles is about to begin.

Like the previous times, Cheng Quanni was still the first to run under the city wall and asked to talk to Zhao Gu.

Zhao Gu couldn't do anything about this comic general, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Cheng Quanni actually hugged his fist at him, and said: "Lord Zhao, the last general is here to pass the word for our general, our general said, as long as you can give up defending Shuozhou City and surrender to my Da Liao, my Da Liao will give you the position of the Duke of the country, and will also give you a state of land, hereditary replacement." ”

"Huh, such good conditions?" Zhao Gu smiled and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, your general is just a member of the royal family, can he be the home of the Liao State?" ”

Cheng Quanni replied: "Naturally, it can't, but this is the will of the Empress Dowager Xiao." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao?

Zhao Gu not only remembered the figure of the powerful woman in the previous life "The Female General of the Yang Gate", but also didn't know what kind of person she was in this world.

But no matter what, how could Zhao Gu surrender, so he directly rejected Cheng Quanni.

Cheng Quanni was also rare not to be angry this time, but after glancing at Zhao Gu with a complicated expression, he went back to the Liao army.

Since the negotiations had collapsed, the Liao army naturally immediately began to attack.

The difference is that this time not only are the soldiers rushing up, but the catapults are throwing stones unscrupulously, without the slightest scruple that any Liao soldiers have also been hit.

The four city walls were like this, and the Liao army seemed to be crazy, desperately rushing up.

Zhao Gu guessed that maybe this was related to the Fourth Route Army, maybe they had reached the hinterland of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, so the Liao army here wanted to solve Shuozhou City as soon as possible and cut off the grain and grass route of the West Route Army.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Gu could not retreat more and more, as long as he held on for one more day, the more likely it was that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would be recovered.

Standing on top of the city tower, Zhao Gu said loudly: "Fellow comrades and compatriots, you are fighting to the death here today for freedom and tranquility in the future, only by blocking the Liao army, the sixteen states of Yanyun can be recovered, and the Great Song Dynasty can recast the barrier of the Tang Dynasty and completely block the Liao army from the country." You don't want your children to continue to be harassed by the Liao army in the future, do you? You don't want to be their slaves anymore, do you? Then let's fight to the death, let's hold on here for one more day, and the sixteen states of Yanyun will take back one more piece of land, and the good days of the Liao people are coming to an end, everyone will work harder! ”

The soldiers and the reserve were greatly encouraged, as if their bodies were instantly filled with strength, and the arrows they shot and the broadswords they saw became so powerful that they seemed to be able to split a mountain.

The archers with bombs waited for the opportunity to shoot bombs, destroying catapults, and thundering in the clear sky continued to be staged outside Shuozhou.

"Boom."

"Boom."

"Boom."

One bomb after another exploded, kicking up a cloud of dust, hitting the bodies of the Liao soldiers and destroying their souls.

Rows of Liao soldiers died, catapults were crushed, and soon, there were no more boulders whistling past the city of Shuozhou.

The Song soldiers were more and more encouraged, and their fighting spirit was even higher.

On the other hand, on the Liao side, the Liao soldiers were frightened by the bombs one by one, but they were still urged to rush up, where is the morale still high, and then they were attacked by the Song army on the city tower, and suddenly like dumplings in the pot, 'poof' and 'poof' fell straight down.

In the rear of the Liao army, they still ignored it, and kept sounding the order to charge, and waves of Liao soldiers were like autumn wheat, and waves were harvested under the city of Shuozhou.

But the casualties on the Song side should not be underestimated, under the fierce attack of the Liao army, in just one morning, only one thousand soldiers who followed Zhao Gu were left with the last dozens of people, and the reserves were also more than half damaged, and only more than 4,000 people were left to barely fight.

The most terrible thing is that at this time, Zhao Gu's side even had no wooden arrows, and the knives and guns in the hands of the soldiers were all rolled up and could no longer be used.

If the Liao army attacked again, in addition to demolishing the houses in the city and throwing them down, the soldiers would have to fight with their bare hands.

In this regard, Zhao Gu did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered the house to be demolished.

The women, children, and old immediately stepped forward to help, demolished large swaths of the houses, and then sent everything to the castle tower.

Some even brought their own slabs and let the soldiers use them as spears.

All the people are soldiers, and the city participates in the war, which is the scene in Shuozhou City at this time.

Zhao Gu and the rest of the soldiers were naturally moved, and they picked up the flat poles and wooden sticks and rushed forward to fight to the death with the Liao soldiers.

During the struggle, Zhao Gu was caught off guard for a while, and was shot by an arrow by a Liao soldier, hitting the right arm of his right hand and almost passing through his body.

As a result, not only could he not shoot arrows, but he could not even hold a knife.

Ergouzi was also scarred, but he still protected Zhao Gu's side and prevented any Liao soldiers from approaching him.

Seeing that Zhao Gu was injured, the morale became higher and higher, and they took the initiative to attack and fight against every Liao soldier who rushed to the city tower.

In such a fierce battle, human life seemed very worthless, the Song army suffered heavy casualties, and the Liao side also suffered heavy casualties, and both sides were competing for a strength, a strength that refused to admit defeat.

Until nightfall, the battle was still going on, and the Liao army did not retreat, and seemed to take Shuozhou City in one go.

Faced with this scene, Zhao Gu smiled, the more hoarse the Liao soldiers were, the more it showed that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were about to get out of their control.

"Brothers, fight to the death." Zhao Gu shouted.

"Fight to the death." All the warriors who were still alive shouted in response.

In the end, the Liao soldiers retreated, fleeing in a hurry with the remaining 3,000 men.

On the wall of Shuozhou City, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded, and Zhao Gu and they once again blocked the Liao army for a day.

At this moment, perhaps even the Liao soldiers admired Zhao Gu and them, it was extremely rare to be able to do this level without reinforcements and supplies.

The Liao army retreated, and everyone on the city wall collapsed directly, whether it was the Song soldiers or the reserves, everyone looked at each other and smiled, very proud.
