It was an insult to use gunpowder as fuel to set fires, but people today are not aware of it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Quickly returning to the small courtyard, Zhao Gu found that Li Danran had already slept, and the second dog was still staying there, his head little by little, but he was holding on to prevent himself from sleeping.

Today, on the city wall, he also went up to participate in the battle, and killed several Liao soldiers, so he was too tired.

Shaking the two dogs awake, and asking him to call Li Danran up, Zhao Gu then said to the two: "Do you know where there is gunpowder?" ”

"Black powder?" Li thought about it indifferently: "We don't have this thing in our army, but Mi Dechao found a lot of this thing from the garrison general's mansion at that time, and he hid it in his yard. ”

Zhao Gu laughed: "Great, you can bring someone to bring me all this gunpowder right now." ”

Although Li Danran didn't know what Zhao Gu was going to do, he still went to do it quickly, and after a while, the black powder full of three water tanks was transported.

Zhao Gu twisted these black powders with his hands, and found that their quality was really not good, and he could only say that he could barely use them.

"Forget it, that's it, now you can take someone to get all the blacksmiths in the city, and let them make me this ball." Zhao Gu found a pen and paper and drew a sketch and handed it to Li Danran.

Li indifferently took the sketch and went out, Zhao Gu yawned at this time, and lay on the bed after washing up.

The next day, before dawn, Zhao Gu had already gotten up and came to the city, and the other soldiers were already in place, just waiting for the arrival of the Liao army.

After a while, Li walked to Zhao Gu's side with a tired look and nodded at him.

"Go back and rest." Zhao Gu smiled and said.

Not long after Li calmly left, the Liao army attacked.

In this siege, they still used the tactics of crowds to forcibly enter the city, but the difference is that this time the Liao army chose to advance in an all-round way.

I saw that outside the four city walls in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Shuozhou City, groups of Liao soldiers quickly gathered, especially at the west city gate, where 8,000 Liao soldiers were gathered.

From a distance, these Liao troops were like a swarm of locusts, densely packed, covering the sky and the sun.

In comparison, the remaining 600 soldiers of the Song army were a little insufficient, and the difference in numbers was thirty times, making them very lonely.

Fortunately, at this moment, the young man brought over a reserve team formed by 10,000 people spontaneously, and these 10,000 people quickly went up to the city tower to help the Song army defend.

Suddenly seeing 10,000 more enemies, the Liao soldiers were taken aback, but after discovering that these people were wearing tattered ordinary clothes, the Liao soldiers let out a burst of laughter.

Obviously, they have guessed the identity of these 10,000 people, who are the Han untouchables who have been ravaged and suppressed by them.

Cheng Quanni walked under the city gate again, laughed at Zhao Gu and said, "Zhao Gu Xiao'er, do you have no more soldiers to use?" actually sent these old, weak, sick and disabled people, it's ridiculous to death your uncle and me. ”

Zhao Gu glanced back at the people, they went up to the city tower, and from the moment they saw the Liao army, their faces turned a little pale unnaturally, and their legs trembled unconsciously, and they seemed to be quite scared.

But Zhao Gu would not vent his anger at this time, but heard him laugh and say: "Cheng Quanni, do you want to quarrel with me again?" I'm worried that your IQ is limited, and you'll end up trying to humiliate you! ”

Cheng Quanni was silent, he thought that he couldn't fight Zhao Gu in terms of lip service, so he simply turned the horse's head and left directly.

At this time, another person came out of the Liao army: "Zhao Gu, this general doesn't want to talk to you more, our general asked me to pass on the message to you, if you open the city and surrender today, our general will definitely speak for you in front of the emperor and ensure that you are rich and prosperous all your life, if you insist on fighting against my Liao court, then today next year will be your death day." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Gu laughed: "Ignorant child, if you want to fool your grandfather and me, you are still far away!" My Great Song army is now about to take back all the sixteen states of Yanyun, and now there are countless reinforcements coming here, do you think Ben Hou will surrender at this time? What's more, just with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in your body, you want to break through my Shuozhou City, which is really a fool's dream. ”

The man didn't defend himself, but looked at Zhao Gu and smiled coldly, and directly gave the order to attack.

With the beating of a heavy drum, the Liao army swarmed towards Shuozhou City like ants grabbing food.

The tactics of the Liao army are still the same as yesterday, the Liao soldiers riding the ladder to the city, the archers are sweeping behind, and another team of people is carrying logs to hit the city gate, without any change.

For this tactic of the Liao army, the Song army has basically figured out the rules, so under Zhao Gu's orders, the soldiers also quickly responded.

The only difference was that this time, because all four walls were under attack, the soldiers' defensive pressure became much greater.

In particular, ladders and secret archers can always appear in corners that a soldier does not see.

After all, the reserve is different from the soldiers, the military quality is more than a little worse, and every time a hidden arrow is fired, or a cloud ladder suddenly appears somewhere, they will be in a hurry for a while.

In a matter of moments, several places were almost lost, and there were not a few reservists who died under the arrows.

At this time, the Song soldiers often had a temporary chaos, and although they were quickly remedied, the soldiers' emotions would become unprecedentedly tense and their physical strength would be more exertional.

Zhao Gu saw all this in his eyes and quickly made a tactical change.

He directly divided the six hundred Song soldiers into four roads, each holding one side of the city wall, and then asked the reserve to fill the gap between the soldiers, so that every important place would be defended by experienced soldiers, and the reserve team would be more able to help and not be in a hurry.

As soon as the tactics were adjusted, they immediately worked, and there was no longer a single Liao army on a ladder to rise up, and often they were just halfway up the ladder before they were smashed by rocks and rolling logs.

There are also far fewer reserves that have died under the hidden arrows, and although there are still some people who are unfortunately hit by the arrow, many have learned the art of dodging.

Before you know it, the reserve team members are quietly changing.

In fact, when they first saw the Liao army, they were very scared, after all, the Liao State had ruled the sixteen states of Yanyun for more than sixty years, and their servility had already been carved into their bones, but when Zhao Gu said that the Great Song reinforcements were on the way, the desire to pursue freedom in their hearts overwhelmed fear.

They want to be free rather than die!
