What Zhou Yi didn't know was that his image had become very different in everyone's minds because of these things, which could be said to be diametrically opposed.

These things are complicated to say, but more than 100,000 people come to do it, and it is indeed a thousand miles in a day, and it takes two days to arrange all these things properly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yi announced the closure of the city wall, and all the four gate openings were piled up with bluestone blocks, which were integrated with the surrounding city walls, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see that there was a city gate here.

Zhou Yi's decision once puzzled everyone, including Tong Guan, they thought that closing the city wall would make it difficult for people outside to enter, but in fact, they couldn't get out, and when the days were long and the city was short of food, wouldn't it be defeated without a fight?

In the only temple in the city, Zhou Yi drove all the monks out, saying that in order to honor the Buddha, the temple should be gilded, which made those monks very happy and cooperated with Zhou Yi's work. So, on the same day that the city gate was closed, the temple was also closed for construction, and no idle people were allowed to enter.

Zhou Yi was very busy, and Yelu Dashi was also leading the army to rush to this side in a hurry, he was praying, praying that the soldiers of the Liao army would give a little strength, and he only needed to defend the city for ten days, and in ten days, he would be able to rush thousands of miles and gallop to help Ulzhou.

But his dreams were shattered, from the time he met the deserters who were driven out of Ulzhou by Zhou Yi. Those soldiers snorted and cried to accuse Zhou Yi's crimes, and in their statements, Zhou Yi's crimes were absolutely unspeakable. Even a hundred cuts are not too much.

Jerodashi was also stunned. There are the benefits of the city walls. Why can't the city be defended for a few days?

But the reality of the situation did not allow him to think too much, even if the city of Ulju had fallen into the hands of the Song army, he had to take the city back.

A few days later, he led the army to the outside of Ulzhou City, and as early as the day before, Zhou Yi's scouts had already reported the situation to him, 100,000 troops, this number sounds quite a lot. But Zhou Yi scoffed, not to mention that he now has the advantage of the city wall, not to mention the countless traps outside the city, even if it is a head-on confrontation, his number is almost twice as large as his, Zhou Yi does not think that Yelu Dashi will get the advantage this time.

Ten miles outside the city of Ulzhou, there is a mountain forest, Ulzhou is backed by this mountain forest, and in front of the main gate, that is, the place where Zhou Yi's main army attacked. There is a small open space, which is standard in every city. It is used to temporarily accommodate people or goods entering and leaving the city. And then there are villages in the distance, built along both sides of the official road. And in the cycle of these villages, it is the land.

In the summer, it is the time when the Zhuang family grows the most vigorously, but the land around Ulzhou City is destined to be impossible to harvest, first the 200,000 army led by Zhou Yi trampled on these lands, and within a few days, the army led by Yelu Dashi came again.

When he was standing under the city, Zhou Yi's concept of the number of people was not very clear, because he felt that it was more than 10,000, and the measure word was to use "piece" to describe it, for example, he felt that he brought a large number of people this time. It was only now, when he watched the crowd of people below from the city wall, that he felt a shock in his heart, and he realized what a large scale it was for 100,000 people to stand together.

Yelu Dashi organized a large army to be stationed, and he was not stupid enough to attack as soon as he arrived at the destination, after all, the soldiers were already very hard to hurry, and now attacking was tantamount to giving the Song army a chance to wait for work, which was definitely asking for his own death. Any general with common sense would not do this, unless it is a novice like Zhou Yi who can fight as much as he wants and knows nothing about military common sense.

On the city wall, the black-pressed soldiers, the bows and arrows in their hands are ready, the trebuchets have been put on the winch, as long as the Liao army enters the firing range, they will strike a devastating blow mercilessly.

"Hengzhi, can you predict when we will be able to finish this battle?" Tong Guan sat on a rattan chair, and from his angle, he couldn't see the Liao army below, only white clouds in the blue sky.

Zhou Yi said: "If they don't have reinforcements, we will win, no matter what direction it is." ”

Tong Guan was very satisfied with Zhou Yi's answer, he took a sip of tea and said, "That's good, I'll leave everything to you, I'll sleep for a while, and call me when I win." ”

“……”

“……”

Zhou Yi was very dissatisfied with Tong Guan's behavior of having the name of a general but not being a general, and he had never seen a place where he could be a shopkeeper when he came out to fight.

But there is no way, Tong Guan is Tong Guan, and the aura on his head makes him unqualified to blame Zhou Yi no matter what he does.

In order to prevent a sneak attack, Zhou Yi ordered that there must be a patrol team of no less than 1,000 people on the city wall at any time to monitor the movements of the Liao army at any time.

Yelu Dashi looked at the city of Ulzhou in front of him, and the suddenly disappeared city gate made him puzzled, he had lived for such a long time and had never heard of anyone who sealed the city gate as soon as he entered the city.

"I heard that it was a young man who has been hot in the Song Kingdom recently, and the Song army is really talented, and the city gates will be sealed for me when I enter the door, hehe, I want to see how long you can be free as a cocoon." Yelu Dashi is not in a hurry to attack, just like the reaction of others when Zhou Yi made the decision to close the door, he decided to surround but not fight, without the reinforcement of food outside the city, the food and drink of Zhou Yi's 200,000 army will be a serious problem, and the Liao army outside has a steady stream of backup grain and grass, surround him for a few months, and if the Song army does not surrender, then it is really not believed.

After Zhou Yi arranged for people to guard the city, he ran into the temple every day, claiming that he wanted to worship the Buddha every day. On this day, he came to the temple under martial law again.

All the houses in the temple are still the same as before, and the ashes on the Buddha statues have not been wiped off, let alone gilded with gold.

In fact, in the open space in the backyard of the temple, a huge black hole has appeared, with stairs large enough for five people to walk down side by side. This is the content of Zhou Yi's construction, authentic.

This tunnel is very wide and deep, and it is also very hidden, up to five zhang deep, and after going down, it extends straight out, and at the end of this tunnel, there is a small mountain bag in the mountain forest outside the city.

Outside, the Liao army surrounded the city of Ulzhou. Inside, construction is in full swing.

For three days in a row, neither side took action.

And in the early morning of the fourth day, Zhou Yi had a smile on his face, and a hundred-zhang long tunnel was completed. After spending another day transporting all the dirt accumulated in the temple through the tunnels, Zhou Yi finally decided to take action.

It was just getting dark, and the well-fed Song soldiers began to enter the temple in an orderly manner. The people talked a lot about their actions, and when they saw that most of the night had passed, but the Song soldiers were still entering the temple in a steady stream, they were finally shocked, how could this temple accommodate so many people?

Outside the city, Zhou Yi, who had already gone out first, was waiting on this small mountain bag accompanied by Wang Er, and after a while, the first echelon led by Yi Yingfeng appeared in their sight and came out of the tunnel. followed by the second echelon led by Huang Peng, and then the third echelon led by Huang Jiawei, each echelon was 50,000 people, a full 150,000 people, and almost all the mountains and forests were Song troops.

Zhou Yi said: "Okay, I have already told you before the mission sets off, you can do it yourself, don't rely on me to give you ideas every time." ”

The three teams quietly dispersed in all directions, the night was already very deep, Zhou Yi and his more than 100 people stayed at this exit, did not enter the city again, nor did they follow the army to kill the enemy, the picture of the last time he charged into battle was still hovering in his mind, thinking of the corpses scattered on the ground, he couldn't help but want to vomit.

Let's say that Yi Yingfeng led 50,000 people to outflank the city gate, and so did Huang Peng, according to Zhou Yi's plan, their task tonight was to surround the Liao army led by Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi led an army to besiege Ulju, and after them, 150,000 men had formed a large encirclement, encircling their 100,000 men in the middle. Before they knew it, they were in a dilemma.

Suddenly, he heard someone say, "We are surrounded." Frightened, he bounced up from his bed, grabbed his weapon next to him, rushed out of the tent, and shouted, "What's the matter?" ”

No one answered him, and there seemed to be no need to answer him, countless torches appeared everywhere he could see, and the earth-shattering drums of war seemed to beat on his heart.

"Kill."

"Kill."

"Kill."

Countless shouts of killing sounded, countless torches swayed, and the tide-like Song army began to charge, facing these Liao troops, they showed the iron and blood of the Chinese people.

Yelu Dashi was an outstanding military general, and history has long been determined. It was only a brief panic, and he immediately organized his men to start a counterattack.

Outside the city of Ulju, in the middle of the night, a major battle broke out with more than 200,000 troops invested by both sides.

But unfortunately, in the dark night, no one knows how many Song troops there are, these Liao soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy and fight for their lives, but what they saw was still a steady stream of Song troops rushing up, and when it was not over, they could not see the end of the team.

Not seeing the hope of victory is the most desperate thing, and once a person is desperate, the whole person will not be well. There is no greater mourning than death.

The Liao army gave up resistance and dropped the weapons in his hands, and his behavior was like a plague and began to spread.

Yelu Dashi's eyes were cracked, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't panic, keep fighting, we will definitely win......"

In order to have more space for movement, he led the team in the direction of the net city wall...... (To be continued......)
