There are fifteen wide wooden ladders on each side of the city gate, each with a distance of twenty or thirty paces to set up the city head in turn, the soldiers hold their shields above their heads, and the other hand cooperates with their feet to climb, and some simply talk about their waist knives, and go up side by side in pairs at the same time, and the shields are raised in a pointed shape and arched against each other, so that to a certain extent, they can effectively resist stones, rolling logs, or arrows. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The higher you go, the more dangerous it is, the closer the defenders will have a certain degree of accuracy in throwing boulders, and then splash down with boiling hot water, if you are scalded, you will subconsciously withdraw your hand, and you may hit a string if you fall down, and you will not be killed or injured. Although there will be a few empty seats between the back team and the front team, if the front team falls, the back team is obliged to catch it, and at least pull it.

The Laizhou soldiers fought a little badly, several ladders were simply dumplings, and some were pulled over by the defenders of the city, and the following ones were re-lifted and put on again, but during this period, the arrows at the head of the city have been continuous, and the casualties on standby below are very heavy, and the light leather armor only has heart goggles, wrist guards, helmets, and iron plates, and the defense is poor, plus the shield defense is limited, and the face of Zhai Tonghu behind him is gloomy.

The five ladders led by the Changyi Army were obviously going well in the middle of the term, and the soldiers of the Changyi Army cooperated well, and soon they all climbed more than a foot high, and the middle ladder was led by a short and stout man, who was talking about his waist knife and holding a shield, and saw that the distance was almost jumped, and when he tried to grab the stomping, five or six spears stabbed him, and a mace came first, and hit the shield in front of him very ferociously, knocking him down, and he was seriously injured.

The same is true for several other ladders, when they reach a suitable distance, they generally choose to jump up, but they are all knocked down without exception, and a few are even stabbed to death at the battlements of the wall, and the corpses are pushed down by the Liao army, falling to the ground motionless, splashing blood all over the ground.

A gong sounded at the right time, an echelon failed, and the following responders immediately retreated, only to find that the rushing convoy at the city gate had stopped hitting the door and retreated, and it was estimated that the inside was blocked, and it was difficult to hit the door.

"What to do? Conventional tactics are wasted and wasted, and we have to think of another way! Yao Keding didn't go to battle in person, and when he saw that Zhai Tonghu had no choice but to retreat, he said a little anxiously.

"Indeed, this Liao army is not weak, and it is more than enough for two thousand soldiers to defend only one city wall, and it may be successful if you fight until dark, and you can't afford to drag it out!" Zhai Tonghu suddenly remembered something, and said: "I heard that when the Liao army Yang Gon attacked Baodi Township, he piled up bricks and stones under the city wall to raise the ground, and then rushed directly to attack, we might as well try." ”

"Sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, but it is also a stupid method!" Yao Keding smiled bitterly, this is also wasted, but the casualties will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.

The two immediately reported to the Chinese army, and after hearing this, they decided to implement it, but ordered the front army to continue the attack to wear down the enemy's physical strength, consuming its arrows and rolling logs and stones, but they didn't have to fight so hard. The 5,000 soldiers of the rear army immediately carried the stones nearby, handed them to the city wall in a relay style, and piled them up in a semicircle with a radius of three or four zhang on both sides of the city gate, and then transported the earth and filled it, and the 5,000 people continued to work.

The Liao army blocked the city gate and naturally couldn't come out to harass, staring at the pile of soil below getting higher and higher, and the falling stones and rolling logs would speed up, and splashing water would make the mound stronger, and the killing of the arrow rain was a little insufficient, and he was suddenly a little helpless.

At noon, the highest point in front of the two huge mounds had reached one and a half feet, and the Liao army rushed up to the city with an exclamation, concentrated on the section of the city wall of the mound, and defended behind the battlements with dense sword and shield hands, and attacked on both sides with archers.

This time, the Chinese army advanced one mile, and after the mound in the north, Yao Keding of the Changyi Army personally went out to fight, leading a whole battalion to start, but it was divided into two teams, one in front, and four hundred people in the back carried a specially sawed ladder, and then there was still Zhai Tonghu's department, which had been reduced to only 2,000 people. And after the mound of earth in the south, the pet Congduo was also ruthless, and directly transferred out his own soldiers of 300 people plus two to open the way, and there was also a foot army behind, and the 2,500 cavalry of the Chinese army lined up to watch the battle.

No nonsense, after the deployment of troops in place, the Chinese army started to fight directly with a drum sound, a hundred brave recruits behind the mound in the south rushed forward with swords and shields, and lined up on both sides to the top of the mound, and the ladder men behind followed the short ladder to go up, and the first to go up the ladder quickly, ran a few steps and jumped, easily crossed the battlement, and fell into the enemy group at the head of the city.

The Changyi army behind the mound in the north has a slightly different style of play, and immediately throws through the armor push when it rushes to the mound, and implements three waves of blows to the enemy at the head of the city, just when the ladder arrives and then jumps up the city head along the ladder, it quickly occupies the vacant position of the dead and wounded, and after throwing six armor cones of individual soldiers, the head of the city is emptied of a large piece, and this section is captured in a short period of time, and gradually expands.

"Tsk...... In a short distance, the armor cone was indeed stronger than the bow and arrows...... "Seeing it from a distance under the city, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered his own soldiers to order the follow-up troops under the mound in the north to follow.

The next battle went smoothly, the superior forces of the Zhou army advanced step by step on the head of the city, and the two converged together to kill the Liao army to retreat, after controlling this city wall, divided a team to open the city gate along the city wall along the road, and the favored Duo led the troops into the city, and the narrow military city with a circumference of only more than seven miles was broken.

When the Liao army was defeated and retreated, it set fire everywhere, trying to burn down the military office and granaries, barracks, arsenals and other military facilities, but the horse army under the command of Duo entered the city and divided the team to cover up and pursue, and the fire did not burn for half a day in this weather, and hundreds of war horses, pack horses, cattle and sheep, and a large number of military supplies were captured.

The infantry entered the city in a big way to encircle and suppress, the horse team then converged behind the east city gate, and the pet Duo Qin led two thousand horsemen to chase the small cavalry of the Liao army, and killed until the Songting Pass of more than 20 miles to the north, the Liao army defeated the army turned the horse's head, made a counterattack to kill, but shouted for help again and again under the city, but the guards of the city did not dare to open the door easily.

The Xifeng Pass in this area is a rough place name, there are three Guancheng connected on this valley road, it is called Songting Pass in front of it, there is another Guancheng called Xifeng Pass through ten miles through the pass, there is also a Guancheng called Tiemen Pass after ten miles, but the people of the time call this place Lu Longsai, or Songting Pass, there are few that call Xifeng Pass.

The three Guancheng are connected into a string, only Songting Pass is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack, and the other is in the north side of the Guancheng is Heiting Sea, because it is located in a deep valley, the water of the Luanhe River gathers to form a huge lake, with an area of about seventy or eighty acres.

And the Great Wall of Lulongsai in Dayan Mountain crosses the water from the lake of about thirty or forty miles northwest of Songting Pass, the famous Great Wall on the water, in the north and south of the lakeshore, there is a Great Wall Pass, later called Panjiakou, Qingjiagou, are dangerous canyon heavy places, but in this era there is no name, usually there is no garrison.

The Great Wall connects the Tiemen Pass and extends to the Pingzhou Yuguan on the Bohai Sea, here is the land of the Central Plains since ancient times, the Guancheng is extremely majestic and tall, including the Songting Pass, the normal more than 1,000 soldiers defend, and there are no tens of thousands of soldiers who can not take it. So Zhang Yue came with more than 20,000 soldiers, but he still didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that there were still four or five hundred cavalry in the Liao army's defeated army, dozens of them squeezed into the city gate hole, and immediately guessed that Xiao Han, the defender of Luanhe, might be there, and there were more than four hundred cavalry outside, so he did not chase closer, and the two sides faced each other for half an hour at a distance of two hundred steps.

Pang Congduo saw the ecstasy, folded the horse and danced the knife to lead the troops to rush over, the five hundred horsemen after the break rushed head-on, although the battle was not afraid of death, but the morale of the defeat and escape for a while has been discharged, the number is also small, the pet Congduo led the personal army to bypass the side, chased close to the city when a wave of arrows rained, fell off the horse dozens of horses, rushed into the city gate hole to see the light dim, the city gate is slowly closing, only two feet wide is less than a point.

"Hey......" Pet Congduo shouted when he saw it, raised the Pu knife and threw it away, just listening to the loud sound of "dang", the place where the Pu knife swallowed happened to be embedded in the bright gap, and the iron frame edge of the two city gates was suddenly stuck, and it could no longer be closed.
