Long Changshou, the king of Yan, who returned to the defense line, saw Peach Blossom, and the thunderbolt just now was fired under the command of Peach Blossom. Facing the peach blossom who knelt on his knees to plead guilty, Long Changshou did not blame him. Peach Blossom once followed Long Xingrong to fight in Ningyuan and Rongbu, and in terms of battlefield experience, Peach Blossom is richer than Long Changshou. Long Changshou said to Peach Blossom: "You go and tell Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang to let them get out of the city as soon as possible." Just now, a celestial wolf cavalry has already circled the city, and it seems that the target is Jinyang, so please ask Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang to transfer to Jinzhou, where the king will block the army of Jebeli. Without further ado, before they are encircled, go quickly. ”

"What should you do, Lord Wang? Do you want to take the princess with you? ”

"Fengtian City is high and deep, and the facilities are complete, and this king can hold on to the city for a while. You tell Your Majesty that when he arrives in Jinzhou, he will ask Yan Hui to send troops to help, and Yan Hui will not refuse. Leave me alone, let's go. ”

Peach Blossom knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times and then turned around and left quickly. Long Changshou turned to the generals around him and Fengtianfu Yin and said, "A strong enemy is besieging the city, this will be a vicious battle." Now the king's military order is passed on, and the whole army is fighting to the death. Lord Fu Yin, recruit the young and strong people of the whole city to help in the battle. Collect food and supplies in the city and prepare for the defense of the city. From now on, there will be a curfew in the whole city, and those who take this opportunity to commit rebellion will be killed. ”

"The last will obey."

"The subordinate obeys."

Jebeli, who was outside Fengtian City, put down his clairvoyance in his hand and sighed: "Fengtian City is really big, and the city walls are really high. If we blindly attack, we don't know how many warriors' lives will be consumed, but fortunately, with the presence of the Great Khan of Erdunke, we can save a lot of effort and order the armies to block the four gates. ”

The 300,000 troops were lined up on the left and right, and the encirclement of Fengtian City gradually formed, and Long Changshou, who was standing on the city wall, was so anxious that he stomped his feet, because he found that Long Xingrong and Long Yansi had not left the city at all. The matter of leaving Beijing for refuge was discussed for a night yesterday, and Long Xingrong gritted his steel teeth and refused to leave. Emperor Long Yanji also resolutely stated that he wanted to stay in Fengtian, and the two of them pushed each other and were unwilling to defect to Yanhui. State Minister Li Ke resolutely supported the Long family and his son not to leave Mukden this time, and even said that His Majesty should be an example in the world, and His Majesty will be inspiring if he does not leave the capital. Long Changshou didn't say anything about the two of them, and Long Changshou really didn't know whether to praise them or scold them.

There is no other reason why the two of them don't go to Jinzhou or Jinyang, mainly because it is Yan Hui's territory, and now the two of them think that they have become mortal enemies with Yan Hui, isn't it humiliating to take refuge in Yan Hui at this time? But they didn't think about what would happen if they fell into the hands of Rongbu. Two generations of emperors were captured, which was something that Dayan had never had before, and how much impact it had on the people of the world. Long Changshou doubted that with the character of these two masters, if it was really a matter of life and death, would these two men die for the country. If it is a good thing to be martyred, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will be greedy for life and afraid of death, and Su Meiduo will be a puppet of others in a meal of rhetoric, if that is the case, the faces of the ancestors and ancestors of Dayan will be lost.

Long Changshou now hopes to be able to hold on to the maximum amount for a longer time, so that even if Yan Hui is not there, Yan Chengyu will definitely send troops to rescue, and when the time comes, Li Ying and Wai will not only be able to relieve the crisis in the capital, but may even wipe out all the elites of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate here. The idea is good, but the premise is to be able to hold Fengtian City for as long as possible. Long Changshou is still confident in this, Zhenbei City can hold out for three months, and Fengtian City should not hold out for a shorter time than Zhenbei City. If you don't go, don't go, then defend the city together. Thinking of this, Long Changshou hurried to Fengtianmen, because he felt that the attack of Rong Yu was about to begin.

A high mound of earth was piled up five miles away from the Fengtianmen defense line, and the top of the mound was very smooth, and large ballistas were erected, and boxes of thunderbolts were transported. Standing in the tower at the top of the mound, Jebeli could see the city with clairvoyance. When the guards reported to him that everything was ready, Jeberi gave the order.

"Concentrate artillery fire on the Fengtianmen defense line, and be sure to clear the siege road. Elsewhere bombarded the towers and defensive equipment on the walls, killing and wounding the defenders. Tell the wolf head to see me, that's it, let's get started. ”

Toot toot, the horn sounded, the sound of whining broke the silence just now, and the sky that was still clear not long ago was instantly covered with black smoke. Dense thunderbolts smashed into the defense line outside the city of Fengtianmen, and with the deafening explosion, the strong defense line collapsed everywhere, and the Yan army in the trench could only shrink into the corner and cover their ears.

The earth was shaking, smoke and fire were rising, and the defense line of Fengtianmen was shrouded in a sea of fire. Long Changshou looked at the soldiers struggling in the sea of fire, and had to give the order to withdraw to the city. The ballistas on the Mukden Gate also fired a dense burst of thunderbolts, covering the retreat of the soldiers outside the city to the city. The defensive line outside the Mukden Gate did not work at all, and was destroyed by the artillery fire of the captives.

As the artillery fire moved forward, thunderbolts continued to fall on the Fengtianmen tower and various sections of the city wall. Although the ballistae on the walls of the Yan army were also desperately fighting against the Rong captives, the difference in numbers made the Yan army's counterattack gradually weaken. Since Jebeli entered the customs, he has swept away all the treasury of all the places he passes, so he has a large number of ballistae of various types, and even a lot of large ballistae dedicated to the city wall, and all kinds of thunderbolts are also piled up, so now Jebeli has such confidence.

Mukden City was surrounded by cannon fire, and the city walls were all shrouded in smoke and fire. Most of the Yan army's forces were hidden in the caves, and only a few observation posts were left on the city wall to prevent the capture from attacking.

For half a day, the towers on the gates of Fengtian City were destroyed by artillery fire, and even the east and west gates were shattered. The rumbling sound of cannons shook people's hearts and shattered the hope in the hearts of the people of Fengtian City. Mukden, the capital city that had never been attacked by foreign enemies, was now besieged like an iron bucket. Some thunderbolts exploded over the city walls and in the streets and houses, and looking at the tragic situation in front of them, fear spread in the hearts of the people of Mukden, and the dissatisfaction with the emperor spread as much as fear.

The rumbling cannon also entered the palace, and Long Xingrong sat on the dragon chair and only regretted it. He was dressed up and planned to go to the city wall to boost his morale, but was stopped by Rick.

"Your Majesty's daughter's body must not be in danger."

"After the shelling, the captives will attack the city, and I will kill the enemy with the soldiers and civilians."

"Your Majesty, the walls of Fengtian City are thick, and they will not be blown down. As long as we hold out for a while, reinforcements will come from all over the country. ”

"Hehe, uncle, do we still have reinforcements? Even if there is one who can beat the captivity? Now that all of my lions are in the hands of my eldest brother, will he send troops to save us? Uncle, what are your plans for the future, do you want to negotiate peace with Ronglu or do you want to take refuge in Ronglu? ”

"The minister will never take refuge in Rong, and the minister will advance and retreat with His Majesty."

"Okay, then ask my uncle to pass on my will, open the armory and equip the young and strong in the city, and I will fight to the death with the captives."

"Your Majesty, this is just the beginning, and it's not yet time. When the time comes, there is no need for His Majesty's orders, the ministers will definitely equip the whole city to fight to the death with the captives. Your Majesty, you better rest first, I'm afraid that in the future, I won't even have a good night's sleep. ”

Long Xingrong silently turned around and walked into the harem, and Li Ke turned around and asked Sikong Fu.

"Are all the treasury under control?"

"Control it, without your order, Long Changshou don't want to get a knife or an arrow."

"That's very good. Now it's time for Jebeli to start the project, have we all arranged it? ”

"It's arranged."

The artillery fire in front of Fengtianmen was still intensive, but the artillery fire of the Yan army gradually stopped. King Yan asked loudly what was going on and why he didn't fire a thunderbolt. The Fengtian guard general hurriedly returned that there were no thunderbolts, and he was organizing people to carry them. Just when King Yan was urging to hurry up, the horn sounded again, and the black-pressed Rong siege troops lined up in a neat phalanx and slowly approached Fengtianmen.

The dense artillery fire of the Rong army was so heavy that the Yan army could not raise its head, so it was impossible to organize an effective interception. There were explosions everywhere on the city wall, and the archers and crossbowmen could not stand on the city wall at all, and the Yan army observation post could only watch the Rong Lu approach step by step. Huge siege engines, towers, and tree-like ladders are becoming clearer.

With a shout, the Rong Lu siege troops who were still slowly advancing instantly rushed wildly, even so, Rong Lu's ballistae still did not stop bombarding, when the siege vehicles and towers approached the city wall, Rong Lu's ballista team turned to bombard other city walls and Fengtian City, the purpose was to block the Yan army from reinforcing the city wall and transporting supplies.

With a bang, the gangplank on the tower was lowered and hooked the city wall, and a group of Rong captives rushed out, and they brandished their scimitars to kill the Yan army that rushed out of the cave. Mukden Gate immediately fell into a scuffle, hundreds of ladders were set up on the city wall, and the captives with scimitars in their mouths climbed up the city wall with their hands and feet. A group of archers under the city wall bent their bows and arrows, shooting the Yan army who had just rushed out of the Tibetan soldier cave to the ground.

The huge siege engines kept pounding against the city gates, and the thick city gates creaked under the continuous impact, and the cracks in the city gates became bigger and bigger, and it seemed that they could not hold on for a little longer.

The most powerful place on the city wall is the control room of the iron gate, and the Rong Lu sent out an attack there one after another, and the Yan soldiers resisted desperately, always holding on to the control room.

One of the captives was furious, took off the thunderbolt from his waist and threw it, and the other soldiers also pulled the lead and threw the bolt over. With the sound of violent explosions, all the soldiers of the Yan Army who were sticking to the control room were in a pool of blood. The centurion led the men into the control room, and spun the wheel with all his might, and the iron gate creaked and creaked up. At this time, the gate of Fengtianmen was broken in two with a bang and fell to the ground, and a large number of soldiers howled and crawled under the slowly rising iron gate into the urn city.

At this moment of crisis, a thunderbolt flew to cover the control room, and the slowly rising iron gate fell back to its place with a clatter, killing many of the captured soldiers who were passing below. Yan Chengyu led the guards and three thousand elites to kill them, and they fired arrows and crossbows in unison, sweeping away the captured soldiers on the city wall in one fell swoop with a dense rain of arrows. The soldiers of the Yan Army, who had been suppressed on the front line of the Tibetan Soldier Cave, finally took this opportunity to rush to the city wall and fight with the Rong captives who swarmed up. The battle lasted until the end of the day, and when Jebeli saw that there was no hope of victory, he ordered his troops to withdraw from the battle.

Long Changshou, who was covered in blood, looked at the retreating Rong in a neat line, and the worry in his heart was even worse. Looking at the appearance of Rong Yu, this is just a tentative attack, and the people and Ben did not use the most elite troops, just look at the formation that was not chaotic at all when retreating. On the other hand, on the Yan army's side, more than 6,000 people were killed in this battle alone, and they also let Rong Yu rush into the city gate. If there is no urn city to block it, Rong Yu can directly enter the city, this is only the first day, Long Changshou's face sank like water, and he felt the pressure on his shoulders increase greatly.
