Gate Tower, looking from a distance, there is already a glimmer of dawn in the east. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a while, the crimson morning glow soon covered the sky, and Yanjing, who had fought fiercely all night, enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.

Xiao Bu also looked at the east in a daze, the city and the earth under the morning glow were still shrouded in darkness, if he didn't stand tall, it was impossible to see the grand scene of dawn.

Who knows if we'll be lucky enough to see the sunrise tomorrow?

After more than 30 years of fighting, now his beard and hair are all white, and his originally upright posture has become slightly hunched.

Even if the Song army invaded the imperial city last time, he didn't panic at all, why is his heart always empty today.

Could it be that Song Jun can still have a chance to reverse under the combined attack of himself and Mu Ling Chijun?

No, and King Xiao Gan didn't make a move, he must be waiting for the best time on the side, this king of the Xi clan outwitted the ghost fox, and whoever was an opponent with him would definitely be in pain.

Xiao Bu also thought of Xiao Gan, and felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, there was really nothing to worry about.

This is Yanjing, the Liao State has been operating for a hundred years, and the last time the danger of the imperial city was that the residents of Yanjing joined hands and scared away the officials and troops of the Song Dynasty. If we face another crisis and recruit residents to go to the national crisis, we will definitely respond in droves.

Xiao Gan was in the East Gate Tower, he was also looking at the West Gate Tower, the West Gate was crumbling, and he had to worry about how long Xiao could hold on.

Just transferred 1,000 people from Xiao Gelia to Mu Ling Chijun, 4,000 people younger, and it is enough to hit a south gate.

Hitting the south gate is equivalent to blocking the seed master Dao and Han Shizhong in Yanjing City. Now, it's up to the West Gate and the defense line to block the Planter Road.

As for the imperial city being garrisoned by Pu Aima, he led a thousand people to defend it, which is estimated to be a bit mysterious.

I still have five hundred personal soldiers, so I will go to the imperial city immediately to see how the defense is. Maybe he will have to accompany Pu Aima to guard the imperial city.

Ximen, Xiao Buye's subordinates are exhausted, there are few soldiers left in the original Ximen, and there are only 4,000 left of the 6,000 men and horses in the West Battalion.

The entire Western Front is now facing the bombardment of the Song army's catapults, and the morale is gradually declining, and few people dare to go even to the normal patrol at night.

Mu Ling Chijun was almost about to succeed, and Chi E's timely arrival increased the difficulty, and the two thousand Song troops strengthened the defense of the south gate and temporarily contained the offensive of the Liao army.

Chi'e attacked Muling Chijun head-on, using two repaired catapults to carry out an indiscriminate attack on the Liao army. For a time, in the northeast of the south gate, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and flesh and blood were flying.

Not to be outdone, the Liao army transferred out the car crossbow and the divine arm crossbow to snipe the Song army.

In this positional battle, both sides could not stop, every room had to be fought to the death, and every step forward had to pay for life and blood.

No one could afford to lose this battle, the Song army won, the West Gate was not guaranteed, the palace was occupied, and the country was ruined. The Liao army won, the Song army was surrounded and fell into a lonely army, caught turtles in an urn, and the army was broken and died.

Therefore, the white-knuckle battle of the South Gate, which was later known as part of the bloody battle of Yanjing, kicked off in this way.

Under the constant bombardment of the two catapults of Chi'e, Mu Ling Chijun was extremely annoyed, and simply pressed 1,500 people to force the Song army to retreat, paying the price of 300 people and destroying the catapults.

Not to be outdone, Chi Er transferred all his troops and personally went into battle to push the Liao army back.

The seed master Dao frowned, Xiao Gan actually made a desperate bet and pressed all to the south gate, then I will just hit his west gate to see who wins and who loses.

"Han Shizhong, lead the winning army to attack the west gate from the city wall, and it must be taken down."

Han Shizhong knew that it was a critical moment, and the old man was determined to take down Ximen, which seemed unreasonable, but there must be a reason.

"Subordinates take orders!" Han Shizhong did not have a hippie smile this time, and took the military order with a serious expression.

On the city wall, there are three lines of defense between the south gate and the west gate tower, and each sandbag is composed of a defense line, and there are at least two hundred people behind it.

What's even worse is the five-bed crossbow in the middle and low, and there is also a death blockade composed of nearly a hundred strong bows. The Western military only attacked four times in a row, leaving only a few hundred corpses in vain.

Han Shizhong took over the command position of the city wall attack, and after listening to the report, he realized that the only way to capture the West Gate with as little damage as possible was to use a secret weapon-rocket. Hurriedly found Tang Xiu to discuss and implement the specific attack form and the gunpowder ratio of the rocket.

Tang Xiu couldn't help frowning when he saw that the Liao army had a bed crossbow in his hand, "The range of the bed crossbow is three hundred steps (about six hundred meters), and the range of rockets is generally between two hundred and three hundred steps. If you want to break the opponent's bed crossbow, it is difficult not to damage it unless you can use a bed crossbow or catapult to form a suppression. ”

Han Shizhong gritted his teeth and said, "Then take a two-pronged approach and give Xiao Buye a hearty breakfast." Find the Western Army to transfer three catapults, aim at the city and set fireballs for me."

Then he said to Tang Xiu, "You find dozens of people who can summon rockets, and once the catapults start attacking, they will immediately find a way for me to break in and kill five ballistas."

The assault group was concealed in the protrusion of the wall, about four hundred and fifty paces from the first line of defense, and they needed catapults to provide cover, then charged forward two hundred paces, using improved explosives to blast off the bed crossbow.

The first line of defense has two bottom-line crossbows, one string and three arrows, and it is no exaggeration to say that a Mao arrow flies out of the bed crossbow in about three hundred steps, and it is no problem to penetrate three people in a row. The second line of defense has three bed crossbows, so defeating the first two lines of defense will essentially seal the victory.

The catapult began to carry out accurate fireball attacks, because the accuracy of the trebuchet was not very good, the head of the city wall was only four or five meters wide, so three or four times, only a fireball bounced on the wall, which frightened the Liao soldiers to pick out the fireball out of the city.

After these three attacks, Tang Xiu hurriedly rushed forward, holding a crossbow rocket, lit it and aimed it in front of the opponent's position, and launched it. This was like a grenade, it exploded on the wall with a "boom", and the smoke was filled, Tang Xiu shouted, "Hurry forward!" ”。

This is equivalent to smoke bombs in disguise, and twenty rocket crossbowmen are on the city wall, rushing wildly.

At a distance of three hundred and fifty steps, the smoke was about to dissipate, Tang Xiu shot a crossbow arrow again, this time towards the first line of defense, and sure enough, a large stream of fireworks rose in front of the position. The rocketeer continued to run, which aroused the idea of the Liao army's observation post and immediately called the police.

The firing personnel immediately struck the tooth hair with a wooden hammer, and with a whoosh, three Mao arrows flew out.

Hmm, hmm, two of the rocket soldiers were pierced through the heart, and then three more people were injured, Tang Xiu leaned against the wall and shouted loudly, "Don't stop for twenty steps, while they change their horses, hurry forward." ”

Twenty paces later, the winning streak took the first line of defense, followed by the second, and finally swept away the line of defense on the city walls.

The West Gate Tower was exposed in front of the winning army.

Xiao Bu also witnessed with his own eyes, the devastating blow of the consecutive victorious firearms attack, if the other party wants to do the whole thing, I am afraid that the consequences will be in danger. (To be continued.) )
