On the opposite side is the newly built camp of the Liao army, Yelu Dezhong was originally a general under the command of Dashi Linya, and now, he can only stay in the military village here, and his sons are only three thousand, and most of them are foot soldiers, it is not easy to turn to the war, and Xiao Gan's army is left here alone after leaving.

Yelu Dezhong stood on top of the camp with a solemn face and looked at the Song army, a gleam flashed in his eyes, Yelu Dezhong didn't expect Yao Gu to be so risky, just crossed the Gaoliang River so straight, you don't know the reason for fighting against the river, there is no way to retreat, and after crossing the river, there is no rest at all, and after the formation, it is directly preparing to attack, which has violated the way of the soldiers, but the three thousand soldiers and horses left by their own hands are a little less, can they hold it?

No matter what Yao Gu wanted to do, Yelu Dezhong would not wait to ignore it, and after an order, a thousand Liao soldiers who were in the first echelon quickly spread out a formation in the camp, with archers at the forefront and soldiers with spears following closely behind......

"Where's the rolling wood? Bring in some more logs, we have too few logs here...... What about hot oil? Did you boil it? Hurry up and move it up...... The stones are all placed in the front, and when the Song people come, they will serve them well......" The busy figure of the Liao army and the sound of eager summoning filled the barrier, and many applications to protect the barrier were put on the front line, and occasionally some soldiers were a little slower, which caused the commander to reprimand loudly.

As the main general, Yelu Dezhong's expression is still indifferent and calm, although Yelu Dezhong is young, but after training in the northern Xinjiang, he has a maturity far twice that of his peers, and it seems that the collapse of the sky and the earth cannot make him change color.

Yao Gu slowly closed his eyes and said lightly, "Let's start attacking!" With this order, more than a dozen heralds quickly ran out of the Chinese army to convey the order of General Yao Gu, and the already loud horn sound was raised several scales again, and the continuous war drums were also high-pitched. The movement of the war made the blood of the Song army boiling, and the whole 30,000 Song troops took rhythmic steps, and the sound of stamping seemed to be about to tear the earth apart, and this force was like a torrent of steel, determined and indomitable to kill the Liao army under the barrier.

On the top of the Liao army barrier, Yelu had to watch this scene again. I couldn't help but be solemn in my heart, although the Song army was his enemy, but this enemy had already won his respect, the queue was neat, the demeanor was moderate, the formation changed very quickly, and the strongest soldiers in the world were nothing more than that!

Suddenly, Yelude's eyes suddenly widened, and he saw the siege equipment in the rear of the Song army. I didn't see it just now because of the terrain barrier, and those equipment Yelu Dezhong saw in the book of war, it was a catapult, there were nearly a hundred catapults!

They didn't notice these catapults when the Song army crossed the river, but they didn't expect that the Song people dismantled the huge machinery and shipped it in, and reassembled it after crossing the river.

At the same time that Yelude was surprised, all the catapults had been installed in the rear of the Song army, and nearly 100 catapults were pulled down fiercely. Immediately afterward, nearly 100 large stones were thrown high. With the whirring sound of the wind, it smashed into the fortress of the Liao army.

The Liao army fortress is made of wooden planks and soil, and there are all kinds of wood mixed in it, which can be said to be extremely stable, but it is not comparable with the fortified city that has been operating for a long time. The barrier was also crumbling, and many of the Liao soldiers who had never seen such a scene turned pale with fright, and their bodies trembled, and the power of this catapult made them afraid.

Some of the boulders that did not hit the barrier missed, and some fell directly into the Liao army's formation. The soldier who was hit immediately broke his bones and tendons and died on the spot, but he saved a lot of torture.

Ravaged by the boulders, the Liao army was in a mess on the barrier, but none of the soldiers fled because of fear, and the soldiers understood that even if they escaped, they couldn't escape anywhere, and it was better to kill a few more enemies when they had that time, even if they died, they would earn enough money.

Yelu Dezhong's expression quickly regained his composure, and he saw at a glance the disadvantages of the Song army's catapult, that is, the hit accuracy was too poor, and the Song army wanted to rely on such a catapult with such a hit accuracy to attack the Liao army's barrier, which was a fool's dream, unless the Song people hollowed out a mountain and prepared tens of thousands of stones.

However, under the hasty crossing of the river, the Song people were just looking for some huge stones around, which were not enough to support a few rounds, and the Song army seemed to know that it was impossible to use catapults to capture the Liao army's barriers, and after three rounds of blows, they thought that the morale of the Liao army had been defeated, and the infantry of the Song army began to move.

The Song army formed a small phalanx for every 100 people, and each phalanx had a small ladder about two zhang high, which quickly and neatly rushed under the Liao army's barriers.

"Shoot the arrow...... Release the arrows ......" A young general in front of the Liao army saw that the Song army was attacking, and immediately asked the archers to release the arrows, 8,000 archers, a full 8,000 feather arrows, and the scene of leaving the string together made people gasp, as if it was a rain of arrows.

The soldiers on the front line of the Song army have already prepared their shields, and they are tightly protected in front of them, and the sound of snatching is endless, and the shields of the Song soldiers are suddenly covered with feather arrows, of course, not everyone is so lucky, some of the soldiers are a little slow to raise their shields, and they suddenly died tragically under the feather arrows, although some soldiers have covered the vital points, but the protective area of the shield is limited after all, and minor injuries are inevitable.

The rain of arrows of the Liao army suffocated the offensive of the Song army, but it paused for a short moment, and the Song army began to advance again, and when the Liao army's feather arrows came again, they paused again, and just approached the Liao army's barrier little by little.

Yao Gu watched the attack of his own army, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, the sons and daughters here are all Xihe sons who have been fighting with their own families for many years, and it is not because Liu Yanqing is persecuted so hard!

The first batch of 10,000 infantry to attack was able to rush to the Liao army under the barrier of more than 8,000 people, and they had to face the rolling wood and hot oil within the Liao army fortress, and they knew what the fate of these 10,000 infantry would be if they thought about it with their toes.

Yao Gu's eyes were still closed, but his ears moved from time to time, as if listening to the battlefield, listening to the deafening sound of killing.

After paying the price of nearly 3,000 men, the Song army successfully approached the Liao army's barriers, and the ladders in each phalanx were quickly erected, and the soldiers were like agile apes, climbing from the ladders to the Liao army's barriers.

When it was near, it was the Song army that attacked on its back, and now, it was the most tragic time. (To be continued......)
