Xiao Bu, who had a dark face, also looked solemn, drawing a topographic map of Yanjing on the ground with a tree branch, and seemed to be doing an analysis of the strength of the enemy and us. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It can be said that tonight, Xiao Buye's authority is comparable to Huo Yi, but as one of the royal pro-army, Du Zhisi will also face the test of the imposing Guo Wang coalition army.

According to the confessions of the captured prisoners, it was Guo Yaoshi and Wang Yuan who came to raid tonight, with a total strength of 14,000 people. The first to arrive were 6,000 cavalry, and 8,000 foot soldiers were on the road day and night, and they could arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest.

Wang Yuan's 5,000 men and horses were divided into four routes, 1,000 people attacked the west gate, 1,000 people had already taken the east gate, 1,000 people attacked and advanced to the imperial city along the southwest direction, and more than 2,000 people as the main force to attack the imperial city along the southeast direction. At present, most of Yan Kyoto has been controlled by Wang Yuan.

Xiao Bu also immediately made adjustments, at present, King Guo only has 5,000 people, and he has 3,000 people, plus Xiao Wangu's 500 people defending the imperial city, it will not be too ugly to fight. If you add the guards of the high-ranking families and the men of the residents' families in the city, you may be able to drag them to the death and form a confrontation.

However, the opponent's 8,000 foot soldiers is a big problem, and it seems that there are only 5,000 foot soldiers who rely on the last ridge red horse. Although it is only 5,000 recruits, as long as it is used reasonably, it can greatly slow down the opponent's marching speed, for example, blocking roads and demolishing bridges, blocking in sections, harassing in squads, and luring the enemy to divide troops.

Since Xiao Puxian has already transferred her to the imperial city to defend, she must adjust the order, such as 2,000 troops to return to the imperial city to defend the imperial city, and 3,000 troops to place peripheral mobility, which is not considered a disobedience

Xiao Bu also immediately sent someone to send a letter to Moling Chijun, he believed that a veteran would definitely understand that the current situation was not in the city, but in the contest between the two sides for foreign aid. Three thousand against eight thousand, whether the last ridge Chijun is sure to complete the sniper mission.

Or return to the city, the top priority is the imperial city and the west gate. Xiao Bu also immediately mobilized Yelu Manghai and rushed all the people recruited in the city to the imperial city, and He Xiao Wangu resisted the coalition army of King Guo together. If there were not enough men, the defenses were squeezed into the inner city of the palace, where the city was well defended and the terrain was favorable.

I took all the commanders to the emergency rescue of the West Gate, there are still 400 soldiers on the tower of the city gate, if you can rescue and destroy the enemy troops who come to attack, maybe there is a tie with the other side in terms of numbers. Then the soldiers of their own side will gain great comfort and more confidence psychologically.

That's it! Solve the enemy of Ximen within an hour, and turn around to rescue the imperial city.

If Xiao Wangu can't resist an hour with the inner city, then he will really eat dry rice.

"Attack!" Xiao Bu also gave an order.

"Attack!" Wang Yuan gave the final order to attack the imperial city.

Wang Yuan stood on a tall building about 300 steps away from the imperial city to observe the enemy's situation, and visually observed that the number of troops on the gate tower of the imperial city was about 300, and many people were wounded and killed all the time. Even if you count the defensive forces in other positions, there are more than 1,000 people in the sky.

He concentrated 3,000 troops to attack, although the opponent relied on the terrain, but looking at the current situation, he should be able to take the outer city of the imperial city within half an hour. The last inner city is a very small space, mainly the emperor's living places such as the harem and the council hall.

Wang Yuan is very confident in this, and for the treasures of the Khitan royal family, there is no need to talk about morale. Also, in addition to Ye Luchun's female dependents, the remaining palace maids will definitely be able to inspire the **** of the soldiers, and they will definitely go down.

At this time, Wang Yuan was even a little hot, and he hadn't tasted what the emperor's wife and daughter were like, so let's see if I could find a chance to try it this time.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Yuan felt that something was wrong, although the combat effectiveness of the guards on the gate tower and palace wall of the imperial city was not high, roughly calculated, the other party had already suffered thousands of casualties, how could there still be a steady stream of new recruits to replenish it?

If you ask again, there are also four or five hundred casualties on your side, which is simply who has more people in the competition! There must be something strange, immediately find scouts, it turns out that the Liao army has recruited a large number of people to enter the imperial city, it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 people, and it seems that there are more to be added.

Wang Yuan found that things were a little different from the result he imagined, the rogue Khitan dog, what kind of ability is it to pull the people up? No wonder the combat effectiveness and quality are low, these are all strong men who have never fought a battle, or meat shields, just procrastinating for time.

Ma Dan, if you continue to fight like this, even if you fight ten at a time, you can only kill 50,000 Yanjing residents, absolutely not. It is necessary to cut off the passage of the people into the imperial city, and it seems that only by storming and not compressing the handle in the inner city can it be monitored on all sides.

Readjusted the offensive forces, put in 1,500 people at a time, break through in three directions, and see how you people die. At the same time, the victory order was announced, "Break through the imperial city, otherwise the whole team will be killed".

Sure enough, at the cost of 200 casualties, he defeated a thousand strong men, broke into the imperial city, and surrounded the inner city.

As the emperor's residence, the security must be first-class, so the inner city walls are higher, the city gates are stronger, and the armaments and materials are more complete and abundant. Xiao Wangu held the inner city with two hundred guards and three hundred strong men, and five hundred people were really stretched thin to defend the inner city within a radius of two miles.

Under Xiao Wangu's order, all kinds of city defense materials such as bows and crossbows, rolling wood, stones, ash bottles, boiling oil, boiling water, etc., seemed to be splashed out when it rained. As a result, Wang Yuan jumped like thunder but had no choice but to recuperate in a stone's throw away.

In this wave just now, because he didn't expect Xiao Wangu to be so crazy, he lost more than 100 people at once, and he didn't even wait for the city.

Xiao Wangu looked at the helpless Southern Dynasty army, temporarily withstood Wang Yuan's assault, gritted his teeth and said, "Weak and despicable Southern Barbarian, when this battle is over, I will rush at thousands of innocent civilians who have died, and I will have to slaughter you with my own hands." ”

Standing on the city tower and watching the scenery, Xiao Wangu saw that there were some slightly white clouds in the east, and the time passed quickly, and it was about to dawn.

After a night of fighting, the people were sleepy and tired, but they still did not dare to be careless, after all, there were still more than 2,000 enemy troops gathered under the city. With more than 500 people around him, most of them injured, they still have to endure another hour.

Xiao Bu also rushed to the West Gate with his soldiers, but found that the West Gate had been broken by the Northern Song Army, so he launched a strong attack and caught the Song Army by surprise. In addition, the Song army was a little light on the enemy, and the two commanders were almost completely annihilated, and the remaining more than 200 people were holding their heads and running around.

Fighting until dawn, Xiao Bu once again counted the battle situation, the imperial city is the most critical place, and five hundred mixed soldiers and civilians have to fight against two thousand enemy soldiers, and it is almost inevitable to lose. Moreover, the 1,000 Song troops at the East Gate are also rushing to the imperial city, and it seems that Wang Yuan is going to make a last fight.

Xiao Bu also immediately divided his troops, 500 soldiers blocked the enemy at the east gate, and 500 troops returned to the imperial city, as long as he could mobilize 500 enemy soldiers to besiege the imperial city, it would be considered a victory. With more than 1,000 people, he continued to clear the remnants of the Song army towards the south gate.

At the critical juncture of the battle, Xiao Puxian ignored the dissuasion, climbed the inner city gatehouse, and looked at the Song army, "What a brotherly state, thousands of people dare to rampage in the territory of Daliao, if there is no one, I will stand here today, watching you fight!"
