Just when the battle was getting bloodier and bloodier, and the Khitan army was about to gradually gain the upper hand, the Khitan camp suddenly sounded a rapid sound of Mingjin retreating, 'Dang! While! While! The bell was very harsh, the Khitan soldiers didn't know what was going on, they all looked at Sun Aocao, Sun Aocao's first thought was that the reinforcements of the Sui army had arrived, he stomped his feet in hatred, and shouted "Withdraw!" ”

The Khitan army retreated quickly, and the Sui soldiers took the opportunity to counterattack, chasing and killing the enemy who could not retreat, more than 1,000 Khitan soldiers could not escape, and died tragically in the city, and more than 10,000 Khitan soldiers retreated like a tide.

Yang Shan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was afraid for a while, Liucheng was almost lost, he saw that the enemy's dozens of nest cars and ladders were too late to bring back, and immediately decided: "Quickly go down to the city and destroy all the siege weapons!" ”

More than 1,000 soldiers climbed the soft ladder to go down the city, set fire to dozens of ladders and nest cars, and stabbed the wounded soldiers who were not dead to death one by one, and then returned to the city.

Yang Shanhui held on to the battlements, pointed to a collapsed nest car and shouted to the Sui soldiers under the city: "There is a young general wearing a golden helmet below, dig him out!" ”

Several soldiers quickly found Ogaga's body and carried him to the top of the city.

The order to collect the troops was issued by Ohga Duluo, the reason is that his son is missing, that is Dahe Duluo's most beloved youngest son, someone saw Dahe have boarded a nest car, this news suddenly made Daga Duluo crazy, the youngest son is only sixteen years old, seeing that the two sides are killing more and more bloody, can his son fight with the strong Sui soldiers?

In Dahe Duluo's heart, the youngest son is more important than anything else, compared with his own son, the life or death of the soldiers is nothing, and the gains and losses of Liaodong are nothing, he no matter what the situation of the siege is, he immediately ordered the troops to be collected.

When the soldiers retreated like a tide, Oga Tara was so anxious that he immediately urged his horse forward and shouted among the retreating soldiers: "Where is my son?" ”

His voice was hoarse, but he couldn't hear his son's response, and just then, a soldier whispered, "The little chief was killed by random arrows and crushed under the collapsed nest cart." ”

Oga Dura's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain like a tear, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his eyes turned black, and he fell from his horse.

A bloody siege battle ended, the Khitan army lost 6,000 people, and the Sui soldiers also lost nearly 2,000 people, the militia casualties were even more heavy, both sides suffered heavy losses, but due to the large base of the Khitan army, although the casualties were heavy, the impact was not great, and the Sui army was not good, there were only more than 5,000 uninjured soldiers left, and only 12,000 uninjured militia remained, a total of more than 7,000 people were killed, countless wounded soldiers, and the situation was unfavorable to the Sui army defending the city.

At the head of the city, the soldiers were busy repairing trebuchets and stone cannons, Li Chun walked to the battlements and looked at the Khitan army camp in the distance, at this time, Yang Shanhui limped to his side and said in a low voice: "The working trebuchet is less than three percent, and the situation is very unfavorable for us." ”

Li Chun smiled slightly, "I think the situation is unfavorable to the Khitans. ”

"Why?" Yang Shanhui asked puzzled.

"Didn't Taishou find that the Khitans' siege weapons were running out?"

Yang Shanhui's heart moved, and he hurriedly looked at the Khitan camp, and sure enough, he didn't see those giant-like nest cars and ladders, only a few trebuchets remained.

He muttered, "These siege weapons should be assembled by them on the fly, not in their entirety. ”

"Of course, it's a temporary assembly, but they've already assembled it all, how much to use, how much to send, today's battle, they used up all the nest cars and ladders, I estimate that they only have some siege ladders left, but their siege ladders are only two feet and five feet, and our city is three feet high, so it doesn't pose a threat to us."

"But they can use two ladders tied together, which was the last time they attacked the city, and it was still very effective."

"I asked the blacksmith to create two weapons specifically for siege ladders, and it is estimated that they will be completed today and tomorrow."

Yang Shanhui finally showed a rare smile on his face, and he said happily: "Liucheng can be saved, all thanks to the work of the servant." ”

"Where! Just do your best. ”

At this time, Yang Shanhui pointed to a corpse in the corner of the wall not far away and said: "I have confirmed, this fallen teenager is the youngest son of the Khitan Great Chief, called Da He You, can we use this corpse to talk to the Khitans?" ”

Li Chun thought for a while: "Maybe it's okay to talk, but I don't think it's time yet." ”

The Khitan was divided into eight tribes, and the Dahe tribe was the strongest tribe, and its chieftain Dahe Duluo became the great chief jointly elected by the Khitan tribes, and Dahe Dahe Duluo called himself the Songmo Khan.

This time, the chiefs of all the departments led the army to follow Dahe Duluo to conquer Liaodong, Sun Aocao is the chief of the second largest tribe in the Khitan, and his status in the Khitan is actually equal to Dahe Duluo, he is called a subordinate, in fact, he leads his own army, and follows Dahe Duluo to conquer Liaodong, he just wants to share his own interests.

But today's battle his army lost more than 3,000 people, which made Sun Aocao's heart ache, but what made him even more unacceptable was that he was going to capture Liucheng, but he was worried about his son's life and Mingjin withdrew his troops, so that they finally fell short, Sun Aocao was very annoyed, he didn't want to fight anymore, he just wanted to lead the soldiers of his tribe back to Songdesert.

Sun Aocao was sitting alone in the big tent drinking alcohol, and at this time, a personal soldier of Dahe Duluo reported at the door of the tent, "Chief Sun, the Khan is invited." ”

"He's back to normal?" Sun Aocao asked coldly.

"The Khan has come out of his grief."

"Humph! What's the use of getting out. ”

Sun Aocao snorted heavily, got up and walked towards the king's tent.

The king's tent has been economically gathered, everyone is whispering and talking about something, and Dahe Duluo sat on the top without saying a word, his face was gloomy as water, the death of his young son was certainly unbearable for him, but he was the Khitan chief after all, and he needed to maintain the dominance of the Dahe clan in the Khitan.

Sun Aocao walked into the big tent and bowed, "See the Khan!" ”

Dahe Duluo waved his hand, "Just wait for the Governor of Zuo, please sit down!" ”

Sun Aocao sat down in his seat, and Dahe Luoluo slowly glanced at everyone, coughed lightly, and the big tent immediately fell silent.

"We have besieged Liucheng for seven days, although we have suffered heavy losses, but the other side has also suffered a lot of casualties, as long as we continue to storm the city, I believe it will be captured soon"

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, Dahe Duluo was unhappy in his heart, and his eyes fell on Gao Kaidao, "I think General Gao is already eager to try, and I am ready to give up the opportunity to attack the city to General Gao today." ”

Gao Kaidao's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The lowly is willing to serve, but the lowly army is too small, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to capture the city on my own." ”

"I know that General Su's army will also fight alongside you."

Oga Tara knew the mistake he had made, so he was embarrassed to let other Khitan tribes attack the city, and of course, his own Oga army did not want to use it, so he turned to force the army of Gao Kaidao and Su Zhi to attack the city.

Su Zhi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid that there are not enough siege weapons." ”

"Of course, I know that the number of siege weapons is insufficient, but didn't General Su also use siege ladders when he attacked the city for the first time? We also attacked the head of the city, and we have enough siege ladders. ”

"At that time, we were tying two siege pairs together, but the walls of Liucheng are curved, and the hook at the front end is difficult to hook, which is very dangerous."

Oga Duro interrupted him impatiently, "Of course there is danger in fighting, don't explain it anymore, General Su and General Gao will attack the city today, and I will personally beat the drum to cheer for you." ”

Su Zhi had no choice but to say again: "We are attacking the city, but please ask the Khan to give us the battering ram to use." ”

"Yes!" Dahe Duluo happily agreed, as long as Xi Ren was willing to die, he would not care about a few battering rams.

The rest of the Khitan generals saw that they didn't need him to attack the city, and the original dissatisfaction in his stomach also calmed down slightly, and Sun Aocao also secretly snorted coldly, he originally wanted to criticize Dahe Duluo's stupid withdrawal and let Dahe's army go to attack the city, but now that the other party is interested, he will no longer be silent.
