The battle that took place all day in Shuozhou City began to enter the halftime break as the sun faded. In addition to the place where the tunnels were dug and the Song army was closely guarded, the Song troops in front of the other city gates had already returned to the camp.

Looking at these Song troops who were still busy overnight, the Liao army located above the south gate did not dare to slack off at all. Zhang looked out of the city with wide eyes, for fear that there would be a situation where a large army would drill into the tunnel. The Liao soldiers guarding the cylinder in the city also did not dare to be careless.

It's just that what makes the Liao army a little incomprehensible is that in the middle of the night, the Song troops who were digging tunnels seem to have withdrawn all at once. Except for a few rangers, who wandered around from time to time, not a single infantry was present.

The Liao army, who felt that this tunnel was dug too strangely, wanted to go out of the city to see where the tunnel had been dug. But seeing those rangers who rode by from time to time, they didn't dare to go out of the city.

Coupled with the daytime fighting, the soldiers on both sides were already a little tired. At this time, since the Song army did not have a night attack by the imperial court, it was the right thing for them to seize the time to rest and prepare to fight again tomorrow.

It was another night that made the Liao army and the people in the city a little difficult to sleep. Seeing that the sun appeared in the sky again, those Liao soldiers who kept watch all night also felt very lucky, they finally lived again and waited for dawn.

Only those Liao soldiers who came to take over felt that they were a little unlucky. The dead and wounded soldiers in the city yesterday are still in the morgue of the barracks at this moment, and they are choosing an appropriate time to bury or burn them!

Yesterday's attack of the Song army, although it seemed a little unexpected, but those stone-throwing vehicles and siege vehicles made the Liao army in the city a little jealous. Even last night, they made some stone throwing trucks temporarily, but I really don't know how effective it is.

Compared to the outside of the city, the Song army threw stones at the head of the city. Not at all obstructed by the view of the city walls. The Liao army stone thrower in the city is difficult to see clearly, where can the stones they throw go.

It's just that the Liao army, which suffered a loss yesterday, felt that it couldn't let the Song army's stone-throwing cart continue to attack so unscrupulously. Fight back with some trebuchet as appropriate. It can also allow the Song army siege troops to take care of it.

With the Song army once again like yesterday, pushing the stone-throwing cart and the siege vehicle. Many Liao soldiers defending the city also felt that the soldiers standing on the head of the city today were about to be unlucky again. This stone flew over, and I really don't know who it will hit.

But the Liao army defenders who had been staring at the southern city wall looked at the Song army attacking the city with stone-throwing carts on three sides, but there was no movement at the south gate. He always felt that the real possibility of breaking the city was probably the South Gate.

It's just that he really can't think of it. How could the Song army break through the South Gate? Although the walls of the south gate are relatively not majestic, they have been repaired in some places. But unless the Song army could fly, they wouldn't be able to enter the city at all.

At this time, the Song army, which was responsible for the feint attack on three sides, was under the order of Yang Shipeng. And like yesterday, they launched a stone-throwing attack on the Liao army defending the city. This siege is the same as yesterday.

Moreover. Today, the siege arrows of the Song army did not reach the city wall at close range. Out of range of the archers in the city. He stayed on the siege vehicle and shot at the Liao archers at the head of the city.

In this way, the number of casualties of the Song army was naturally greatly reduced, and the mortality rate of the Liao army was also a little less than yesterday. But the threat of the catapult still made the defenders at the head of the city feel a little frightened.

The Liao army guard in the city. I think it's very strange. At the same time, he also believed that if the Song army continued to attack like this, he was afraid that they would never want to attack the city for the rest of their lives. So what exactly are they fighting in mind?

Listening to the shouts of killing sounded in front of the city gates on three sides, the reinforcement commander, who had already rested, said with a smile: "General Yang." We're ready to go! Now that the sun is just right, let your brothers attract a little more attention from the defenders of the city! ”

Yang Jinbao, who really wanted to see how these reinforcements today allowed the cavalry to enter the city, immediately raised his gun and said: "Brothers, get out of the city!" Let the Liao dogs in the city see the majesty of our fire word battalion! ”

Under his command, 5,000 elite cavalry cavalry soon slaughtered out of the Song army camp like a gust of wind. Seeing a large number of cavalry attacking, the Liao army defender in the city immediately said: "Come on, send more archers to guard the south gate, don't let the Song cavalry approach." ”

Looking at these cavalry of the Song Dynasty who came along the city gate, this Liao army defender who was also good at commanding cavalry battles. also sighed that in just two years, the Great Song Dynasty already had such an elite cavalry.

Thinking of the high-quality war horses delivered to the Great Song Dynasty in the past two years, Western Xia has delivered. These Khitan cavalry generals felt that this was completely a matter of self-destruction of the Great Wall. However, for the sake of their own interests, Western Xia made such a stupid move like a capital enemy.

Looking at the more and more Liao soldiers gathered at the south gate, the reinforcement commander who had been lucky until midnight last night was escorted by a team of cavalry. Arriving at the tunnel entrance again, he dismounted and ordered: "Check the situation of the tunnel, if there is no change, start laying the line of fire!" ”

The soldiers quickly walked into the tunnels that could accommodate one person bending over. At the end of the tunnel, there is another horizontal tunnel dug along the foundation of the city wall. But these tunnels have only been dug a little into the city.

The Liao soldiers, who had been guarding inside, also didn't listen much to this kind of tunnel dug along the root of the city wall. For them, if they want to enter the city, they must extend a little bit into the city.

If you dig a hole directly from the root of the city wall, isn't it a stupid move to let the Liao army wait for the rabbit? For this reason, such a tunnel excavation, the Liao army did not expect it at all.

As the soldiers entered the tunnel, they quickly pulled a line the thickness of a little finger out of the tunnel. The commander of the reinforcements in charge of the command personally went into the cave to inspect again, and after confirming that all these things were set up by his subordinates, he walked out.

He said to the cavalry attache who was guarding them: "Go and invite General Yang and let him prepare to charge a mile away." I'm ready to attack! ”

It is clear that these reinforcements are all from Zhao Xiaoxi's subordinates. These old cavalrymen of the Fire Word Battalion naturally respect them very much. It didn't take long to attract the cavalry of the Huozi Battalion, who were nervous and restless with the Liao soldiers outside the city.

Looking at these cavalry, they really completed the assembly at the south gate. The Liao army defender at the head of the city also felt that he was not mistaken, these cavalry were indeed coming towards the south gate. But what does cavalry have to do with tunnels?

The defenders of the city, who had not slept all night, could stare at the place where the vats had been laid in the middle of the city. I didn't hear it at all, there was the sound of Song Jun digging tunnels underground. This means that the city road should not have been dug into the city.

But what's the point of tunnels not digging into the city? Could it be that these Song troops can still drill directly out of the ground? Moreover, the participation of cavalry in the siege of the city seemed to them to be a very stupid thing, so why did the Song army do this?

Ordered the cavalry to assemble a mile away from the tunnel, and the five thousand elites plus nearly 10,000 infantry who came to support it did seem to be a bit of a siege force. This means that the south gate is the main attack of the Song army.

The commander of the reinforcements, who had been holding a clairvoyant mirror to observe the movements in the city, looked at the group of Liao people on the city gate who obviously looked like generals of the Liao army. He looked very happy and said, "General Yang, let's cheer for you!" Ignite the fire, brothers! ”

Watch as these soldiers fold the fire and light the laid fire line. The men quickly turned on their horses and retreated to the place where the cavalry had assembled. And Yang Jinbao began to ride a horse, echoing back and forth as the cavalry shouted an earth-shattering killing sound.

At the head of the city, those Liao soldiers felt that these Song soldiers were stupid. The commander of the reinforcements said: "General Yang, let your cavalry cover your ears!" It's best to appease the war horses, and soon the earth-shattering scene will appear. ”

Yang Jinbao, who was puzzled, still listened to the advice of the reinforcement commander very seriously. Because he saw that these reinforcements did not seem to be ordered by the commander, they all dismounted and covered their ears.

When the Liao army in the city felt that the Song army besieging the city this time, why was it so strange. The Liao army standing on the city wall felt that the city wall under their feet was accompanied by a few sounds, and a dull loud noise began to shake.

And the cavalry of the Song army and the siege troops who were standing two miles away also saw that the city began to tremble. The originally solid south gate wall seemed to begin to shake with the ground. Until a loud bang and sparks appeared, the walls seemed to disappear like ashes.

The loud sound of thunder, and the Liao soldiers who could be seen from time to time and seemed to fly into the air. The smoky South Gate turned into a sea of hellfire. This tomb caused the other three offensive and defensive troops to stop attacking and defending.

What was really shocked was Yang Jinbao and 10,000 elite infantry who were standing in front of the south gate, waiting for the opportunity to break the city. They couldn't have imagined how this originally strong city wall could collapse into this hellish scene of blood and fire in front of them?

The thunderous noise subsided, and the city wall, which had been established for decades, had been reduced to rubble. As for the Liao soldiers on the city wall or under the city wall, there is no living person in sight.

Just when Yang Jinbao was in a daze, the reinforcement commander let out a thunderous roar: "Brothers, get on your horse and attack the city!" Kill the Liao dog! ”

This loud roar seemed to call the souls of Yang Jinbao and the others back. Well-trained, they immediately turned over and got on their horses. After Yang Jinbao re-ordered, he took the lead with his gun and attacked the south gate, which already looked flat.

The infantry behind the cavalry also knew that there was no city wall, and the city of Shuozhou was no longer defended for them. As for the Han army in the city with low combat effectiveness, how could they not deal with it?

The infantry commander who led the troops to the battle also said excitedly: "Brothers, kill Liao dog!" Come on! ”

At this time, it doesn't matter what the formation is, all they have to do is to shake their legs as fast as possible. Fight into the city along the collapsed city wall, and bring the city of Shuozhou into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and don't think about the rest for the time being! (To be continued......)
