Huo Wangxi led half of the army to cat in the west of Sikou Pass for half a month, and finally looked forward to the Liao army, but after a while, the Liao army did it itself, and after watching the big drama for half an hour, the big battle that everyone was looking forward to ended hastily.

Wujie Moxi slipped away with the remnants of the defeated army, Huo Wangxi didn't want to chase, of course he couldn't catch up, and the corpses and wounded soldiers left in one place could only be handed over to the Song army to take care of. The wounded soldiers said that as long as they could move, they could be pushed aside and left alone, but it would be troublesome to deal with the corpses all over the ground. Huo Wangxi had no choice but to leave some of the soldiers on guard, and let most of the other soldiers go to dig a pit and bury people.

While digging a pit, Soldier A complained to his companions: "What do you think we are doing! The battle was not fought much, but the earth was dug every day. At the beginning, in order to build fortifications, I put up with it, you said that we have won the battle or can't avoid the work of digging the soil, this work should be done by those van troops, let's kill the enemy is the right way! ”

Soldier B said, "Be content!" Anyway, you killed several people, and it was quickly escalated, and I was unlucky, and I killed two or three, alas! ”

"Hey, hey!" Soldier Jia Han smiled: "It's not as fast as you said, don't we give some of the points of our crossbowmen to the shield brothers!" However, I think if I fight another battle, I will have enough points for my upgrade, but my brother and I will be a sergeant, haha, I really want to see how you salute me! ”

"Humph!" Soldier B: "Think beautifully!" I heard that there are a lot of Liao troops this time, and I don't know who will rise faster at that time! ”

Soldier A: "Sample! If you are still not convinced, then let's compare and see, who will rise faster after the battle, how about it? ”

Soldier B: "Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom!" Anyway, you have to be careful, you have no eyes in the war, don't let me burn you paper when the time comes. ”

Soldier A: "Take care, too!" Our brothers must mix until the day of retirement, and then take a daughter-in-law and marry a baby, and then your daughter must be my son's daughter-in-law. ”

Soldier B: "Why?" If you want to give birth to a son, I will also give birth to ...... Ah, that bastard kicked me? ”

"What are you doing with me!" The visitor stared at him with a dark face.

Soldier B turned around and saw that it was his squad leader, and immediately changed to a smiling face: "Oops! It's the captain! What kind of wind is blowing you? ”

Captain: "Don't put this ink on hold, hurry up and dig your pit, haven't you seen the sun go down?" Do you still want to fight? ”

Soldier A hurriedly asked, "Captain, do you have any news?" Can we fight again? ”

"You little bunnies!" The squad leader chirped: "I haven't seen you fight so actively before, but now you can't wait to fight every day, and your brains are broken!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Soldier B also smiled and said, "Captain, isn't this a change in the situation!" In the past, it was a war, it was purely a matter of taking one's life to fight, but now it is different, we are well-equipped, well-trained, and the saints have clear rewards and punishments, and there is a chance to be promoted, in such a good era, how can we not seize the opportunity! ”

Squad Leader: "You kid still have a little conscience!" Listening to your kid complaining about digging a pit just now, do you know whose order it was? ”

"Isn't it the Commander?" Soldier A asked rhetorically.

"!" The squad leader glanced at him with contempt before he said: "I heard the squadron leader say that when they were in a meeting, the commander made a special order from the Holy Lord, requiring that every time the battle is over, the battlefield must be cleaned up as soon as possible, and the people who died in the battle, whether they are their own people or the enemy, must be buried. ”

Soldier A suddenly realized: "I said, give us a shovel for no reason, dare to love is prepared for this!" ”

Captain: "Alright! Get to work! Just now, the squadron leader and they went to a meeting again, and I guess there may be something good to come. ”

"Gotta do it!" I heard that there was good news, and the speed at which these two goods were flying on their arms really accelerated a lot.

This squad leader was right, at noon, although Xiao Xunbu outside the Sikou Pass did not wait for his baggage troops, he still launched a full-scale siege war without hesitation. And Huo Wangxi received an order to cooperate with the defenders of Sikou Pass and annihilate the other cavalry behind Sikou Pass, and at this moment he was gathering all the officers above the squadron leader to discuss this matter.

Let's say that five hundred meters before the mouth pass, Xiao Xunbu took his remaining 25,000 infantry, carrying countless huge wooden shields and ladders, and even rushed to make five simple wells and one rushing car overnight, which shows that he also took great pains to attack the city this time.

Xiao Xunbu rode on his horse and waved his hand: "Jing Yan attack!" ”

Under the protection of giant wooden shields, the Liao army of the hundred and tenth pushed the well and slowly moved forward.

When the well was still two hundred meters away from the city wall, Xiao Xunbu ordered again: "Attack the city!" Attack on all fronts! ”

The drummers of the Liao army also beat the drums of the attack, and in this shocking drum, all the Liao soldiers ran frantically towards the city wall. Yesterday's tentative attack still helped them a little, and they no longer charged in a group like yesterday, but a dozen or so people scattered together with the cover of wooden shields.

In the crowd, there was also a looming rushing car, surrounded by Liao soldiers, slowly advancing towards the city gate. The five wells also stopped a hundred meters away from the city wall, and then more than 100 archers climbed up the wells, opened their bows and arrows and began to shoot at the Song army, so as to cover their own soldiers to climb the wall.

Seeing that his soldiers had already begun to fight with the Song army, Xiao Xunbu turned back to Qian Fuyu and said, "These five hundred warriors were all selected from the army by this king according to your requirements, and they are all elite with one as ten. This king will try to attract the Song army on the front, I hope that Mr. can succeed immediately, if this battle is won, this king will definitely allow you to be a high-ranking official, so that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth! ”

Qian Fuyu was dressed in a strong suit today, holding a big knife in his hand, and arched his hand towards Xiao Xunbu: "King, please rest assured!" The subordinates must live up to the trust. ”

Xiao Xunbu nodded: "This king is here waiting for good news!" ”

Qian Fuyu waved his hand at the group of soldiers in civilian clothes, and led them to run up the nearby hill quickly.

"I really didn't see it, this Mr. Qian still knows how to be a family!" Xiao Xunbu watched Qian Fuyu walk like flying, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder he dares to take this job, his love is hidden!" ”

On the city wall, Di Qing looked at the Liao army attacking frantically below, and couldn't help frowning, and asked Xiang Jie and Wanshou: "You said that this Liao army is like fighting chicken blood, what are you trying to do?" ”

Xiang Jie shook his head: "The last general doesn't know, it is estimated that they want to rush to reincarnation!" But their wooden shields do affect the power of our crossbow arrows. ”

Di Qing: "That's it! Go and move our Yaksha and wolf tooth beats to the city wall, don't they like to make wooden shields, so why don't they smash them all. ”

Xiang Jie: "Understood! ”

Di Qing asked like Wanshou again: "Didn't you go to the back to see how the situation was?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

Wan Shou: "Back to the general, the last general just went over there to see, and some Liao cavalry did appear behind us, but they didn't attack the city, probably trying to stop our reinforcements!" ”

"It's not impossible!" Di Qing nodded: "But don't be careless, keep the back well." ”

Wan Shou: "General, why don't you let the last general lead his troops out and destroy them!" The last general saw it, and they looked like thousands of people, and our White Tiger 4th Army must have done it to him. ”

Di Qing shook his head: "The commander-in-chief said, the Liao army has always liked to use cavalry to bully us, come and leave as soon as you want, and now I want to teach them a lesson, and let this cavalry be annihilated under the silt pass." For this reason, the commander-in-chief has mobilized half of the forces of the Qinglong 4th Army to move closer to our place, and in addition, the Qinglong Cavalry Army is also coming quickly, and these Liao troops will not be able to escape when the time comes. All you have to do is keep an eye on them, and put fewer soldiers on the walls, so as not to scare them away. ”

Wan Shou: "The last general understands!" However, what if these Liao troops ran away in advance? ”

Di Qing: "Probably not, since they dare to go around behind us, they must have their plans." If they slip away, it depends on how well you seduce someone. ”

Wan Shou: "The end will know!" ”

After Wanshou left, Xiang Jie also commanded the soldiers to move the wolf tooth slap and the yaksha to the city wall. These two weapons are also considered essential weapons for city defense, although the names are different, in fact, the principle and function are similar, but the shape is different.

The mace is to tie ropes at both ends of a giant mace, so that the winch can be retracted and released to smash the enemy who climbs the wall, and is mostly used to deal with the enemy on the ladder. On the other hand, the Yaksha Ring is a rectangular or square plank in which a number of sharp knives are placed, and the winch is also used to smash the enemy under the city wall, especially against the enemy who tries to attack the city gate. These two weapons are significantly more sustainable than throwing rocks and wood.

Since coming into contact with Zhao Zhen's long-range killing thinking, Di Qing's thinking has also changed slightly, he thought that this time against the Liao army could make the Liao army retreat with the long-range weapons in his hand alone, but he didn't expect to meet a Liao army general who had to die.

Xiao Xunbu was also happy, seeing that the effect of his shield tactics was immediate, and there were obviously many fewer fallen soldiers. But it didn't take long to be happy, and I was angry with these two things from Song Jun. Although the attack range of these two things is not as terrifying as that of crossbow arrows, the ability of people to destroy shields is also very good, and the Liao army without the protection of shields can only be slaughtered.

The battlefield is like this, no weapon can always dominate, unless you're facing a fool, and people will always find some way to restrain you.

The Song and Liao sides fought back and forth, and it didn't take long for the corpses of the Liao army to be covered under the city, and the casualties of the Song army were not small, after all, it was a melee of tens of thousands of people, and maybe it would be lost somewhere. However, their life is much better than that of the Liao army, and even if they are wounded, as long as they are not hung up on the spot, they will soon be carried down by special medical soldiers for treatment. Under Zhao Zhen's conscious training, the current military medical team of the Song army should not be underestimated, and with them, the mortality rate of the wounded soldiers has been greatly reduced.

Xiao Xunbu saw that the casualties of his soldiers began to increase sharply again, and it was obvious that the wooden bumps on the city wall were making trouble. Therefore, he ordered more archers to climb the well, not to suppress the Song army, but at least to give them more trouble and buy time by the way.

After Jing Yan exerted his strength, it naturally aroused the attention of the Song army, and a staff officer who observed the battle situation asked Di Qing for instructions: "General, the enemy's Jing Yan poses a certain threat to our soldiers, and I request that the catapult be used to destroy it." ”

Di Qing nodded: "Go and arrange it!" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer immediately ran towards the trebuchet positions placed in the city.

In a short time, fifty trebuchets divided into five groups and fired stones at the location of the five trebuchets.

Boom Boom Boom ......

One stone after another slammed into the rudimentary shaft, and the first blow caused two unlucky shafts to fall. Although the remaining three shafts were hit by a few stones, they did not hit the place of the support, and they still persevered after shaking a few times.

The soldiers in charge of the observation reported the attack to the various trebuchet commanders, and after minor adjustments, the trebuchet began to prepare for a second attack.

Ten minutes later, the remaining three wells followed in the footsteps of the first two, and when one of them fell, it also hit the team that happened to be rushing to the car, and the car that had been tightly covered with a shield and was ready to attack the city gate was also exposed. Although the escorting Liao army quickly blocked it, it was still targeted by an operational staff officer who observed the effect of the trebuchet's attack. (To be continued.) )
