Siege has always been the side defending the city to occupy the geographical advantage, and the side besieging the city has paid a relatively large sacrifice. However, although the defending side occupies a local advantage, but has formed a siege situation, it means that the besieging side has mastered the initiative on the battlefield, and the battle or not is in the hands of the besieging side, and the entire battlefield situation is inclined to the besieging side, therefore, unless the grain and grass are unsustainable, or the defending side has a relatively strong reinforcement to come, otherwise the indestructible city will be breached sooner or later.

Li Yide knows this well, the reason why he stands on the side of King Qing, on the one hand, is because King Qing's fraud has become a reality, his army has controlled Yinzhou City, although Li Yide's power is extremely huge, but it cannot fight against an army; On the other hand, there are Khitan people and horses in the besieging army, and the Khitan people burned and looted after breaking the city, and even slaughtered the whole city, and the atmosphere of looting was too strong, in comparison, King Qing was determined to take Yinzhou as the foundation, so his harm to the people of Yinzhou was negligible compared to the damage caused by the Khitan people after the city was broken, so Li Yide held the illusion that the Khitan people and horses would retreat naturally after a long battle, and stood on the side of King Qing half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

But Zhu Yun's words that night touched him deeply, he didn't take Zhu Yun's elusive martial arts to heart, there are many, many strange people who are more powerful than Zhu Yun throughout the ages, but their role is limited after all, even if Zhu Yun can kill him, it is impossible to eliminate or control the entire Li family. However, it is not difficult for an army composed of soldiers whose individual strength is far inferior to that of a strange person like Zhu Yun, to destroy the Li family and even raze the entire Yinzhou City to the ground.

Zhu Yun's analysis is right, even if he can drag the Khitan to retreat, as long as King Qing is here for a day, the Khitan will never be reconciled, and sooner or later he will wave his troops to attack. Once the Khitan marched westward, the northwestern vassals were bound to worry that the Khitan would take root in Yinzhou and extend the Khitan's power into the northwest, and everyone in the northwest would be in danger...... The more Li Yide thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and his confidence finally wavered. When the troops outside the city were lined up and ready to attack the city again, Li Yide couldn't sit still, he changed his outfit and quietly rushed to Nancheng accompanied by several core figures of the Li family.

On the south city, the commander of the Yinzhou army who once commanded the post to build an urn city for King Qing is the son of the Li family in Yinzhou, he saw that the army outside the city was assembling, and immediately commanded the post to adjust the wolf's tooth slap, carry the stone and rolling wood, set up firewood, boil the boiling soup and oil, and carry the arrows taken from the Yinzhou treasury to the city, and put a box every ten steps in a box, open the box cover, and show the arrows...... While he was busy nervously, a man dressed as a man hurriedly ran to his side and whispered a few words to him. Commander Li was taken aback, he looked up and saw that Yang Danmo, who was standing on the arrow tower to command the dispatch, did not pay attention to him, so he immediately turned around and ran along the troop transport road towards the city.

"Old man, why are you here?" Commander Li ran to a man wearing a hat and cloak, and said in a hurry.

The man lifted his hood, his bronze face, gray beard, thick eyebrows and wide mouth, and he was very mammoth, it was Li Yide, the head of the Li family in Yinzhou.

Li Yide smiled slightly and said, "The old man went to the city to take a look." ”

Commander Li exclaimed: "This can't be done, the siege equipment of the Luzhou army is very powerful, they have a large number of stone cannons and crossbow arrows, the big battle together, the swords and guns have no eyes, they can't protect you, once the old man is injured......"

Li Yide said lightly: "Go and arrange it." ”

Li Yide has always been the same in front of the Li clan, Li Commander knew that he couldn't persuade him, stomped his feet, had to turn around and rushed to the city, after a while, his own soldiers came with a few sets of military uniforms, Li Yide and several Li family disciples hurriedly changed their clothes, and followed the man to the city wall.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ siege of the city, in addition to the easy means of internal and external cooperation, deception of the city, and sneak attack, there is only a hard encounter. In the early stage, it was necessary to use stone throwers, bows, crossbows, etc. to destroy the city walls and kill and injure the enemy, and when the ladder was used to hit the wooden city breaker, it was already the most tragic stage of hand-to-hand combat.

Before today's battle, the eastern city attacked by Yelu Xianzhen was in the upper hand, and Yelu Xianzhi distributed a large number of posters to the city, all of which were written in Khitan script, and the soft and hard were used in the exposé stickers, coercing the defenders to surrender, but those who surrendered, did not blame the past, and forgave their crimes of rebellion. Otherwise, the day the city is broken is the time when the city is slaughtered, and there will be no Khitan warriors left in the city.

And Yang Hao's department, then moved away all the obstacles in front of the camp, and pushed the watchtower ladder stone throwing machine all kinds of large siege equipment, one by one phalanx lined up neatly, each phalanx has a large ladder or stone throwing machine, all the phalanx approached the city in an orderly manner, behaved neatly, but always remained calm, and the attack a few days ago was obviously a little different, the two sides had not yet fought, a solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire battlefield, the defenders of the city seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly there was some commotion.

Li Yide pretended to be a personal soldier and stood behind Commander Li, looking at the strict lineup of the Luzhou army, only to see the flags fluttering, the ranks neat, the swords, guns, swords, halberds, the cold light was rustling, and there was a solemn aura between the marches, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "Well-trained, such a strict military appearance, I have only seen it from Li Guangyan's three thousand elite cavalry." There are sixteen phalanxes under this city, I'm afraid that I won't need 5,000 people to ......, huh? ”

Li Yide locked his eyebrows, stared into the distance, and saw the dust behind the Luzhou military camp, a team of people and horses rushing in, and he didn't know how many people there were, Li Yide couldn't help but change his color: "There are still more troops in Luzhou?" ”

"Drive!"

Yang Hao knocked the horse's belly, urging the horse forward, and the two hundred heavily armored iron guards under his command moved forward like an iron mountain, and the spear in his hand was raised obliquely forward, not moving like a mountain, and it was like a forest, although this team was not the main attacker, but it raised the murderous spirit of the battle array outside the city to the peak.

"Little Six, Iron Bull."

"The end will be."

"First use stone artillery to destroy the enemy's defenses. Then shoot the defenders with a bow and crossbow. ”

"The last general obeys!" The two were ordered to leave.

"Muen, Mukui."

"The end will be."

"This commander gives you two two thousand soldiers and horses each, each leading 60 ladders, 10 watchtower cars, 2 city crashing cars, folding bridges, goose cart holes, wooden oxen, wooden mantles ......, take turns to attack the city, and the enemy will not have a moment of respite, today I will definitely fight the majesty of my Luzhou army, even if the city is not broken, it will be full of holes!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Ke Zhen evil, Mu Yu."

"The end will be."

"Ben Shuai gave you 10,000 gunpowder arrows, 10,000 poison arrows, 5,000 arsenic fireworks balls, 30 dust trucks, 2 barrels of gunpowder, and 10 barrels of fierce fire oil.

"The last general obeys!"

"Come back!"

Yang Hao drank the two of them and smiled: "General Ke, if it is not a critical moment of life and death, the main general will take the lead, not to inspire the morale of the three armies, but to fulfill his responsibilities." Got it? ”

Ke Zhen said evilly: "The last general understands. ”

"Okay, you guys go. Pay attention to the area near the west city, which has little sunlight and heavy wall tiles, digging holes underneath and drying them with fierce fire oil, and then bombarding them with gunpowder, which can achieve miraculous results. ”

"Yes!" Mu Yu agreed, and pulled his brother-in-law to go excitedly.

Yang Hao has observed the siege tactics for many days, and he has personally practiced during the feint attack in the past two days, and he has a lot of experience in siege tactics, and today he finally went into battle in person.

Excerpt Ziyu and Folded Weizheng accompanied him on the left and right, Folded Ziyu was quite strange about Yang Hao's behavior in the past two days, knowing that he must have a good intention, but she didn't know what Yang Hao's intentions were, which was a great torment for a curious baby like her, but with her reserved personality, Yang Hao didn't say, she would never ask again, she only squinted at Yang Hao and asked: "Captain Yang, then what should we do now?" ”

Yang Hao smiled slightly and replied, "We are here to watch the enemy's formation." ”

He slammed his hand forward, and the battle began......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the banner waved, the smoke was like a cloud, the golden drum sounded, and the killing sound was like a tide.

Li Yide and his group have retreated to the distance with shields under the strong arrow rain attack, huge stones roared and smashed to the head of the city, the debris collapsed to the head and face faintly painful, although they retreated fast enough, the eyes were still smoked by poisonous smoke, the poisonous smoke smoked, the eyes were red and swollen, tears did not stop, the throat was itchy and painful, Li Commander sent someone to bring water-soaked towels and distribute them to them, and once again persuaded the head of the family to go down to the city, Li Yide resolutely did not allow, because the war was busy, Commander Li had no time to persuade more, so he had to hurry to the front of the two armies.

The upwind dust truck kicked up a cloud of dust, covering the sky and the sun. Gunpowder arrows and poison arrows are like meteors, shooting everywhere in the city is full of smells that make people cough and difficult to breathe, especially arsenic fireworks balls, which stick to wherever they hit, and the heavy smell makes people suffocate, that is, the fire beads cannot be extinguished, and it is very troublesome to deal with, so they can only be buried with sand.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud ladder set up the city wall, people gathered like ants, arrows flowed like rain, the city head was full of swords and swords, rolling wood and stones, boiling soup and oil, poured down without hesitation, poured out pieces of terrible screams, and arrows were also quickly taking the lives of the soldiers at the head of the city.

From time to time, someone rushed up the city wall, and was desperately suppressed back by the defenders, and the people behind rushed up without hesitation when they stepped on the corpses of their comrades; The wolf's fangs slapped down, and flesh and blood splattered; The huge rolling log and stone smashed countless soldiers into a blur of flesh and blood; Sometimes someone was on fire, waving his hands and falling from the city in despair, and sometimes someone was pierced into leather armor by a crossbow, and the spear in his hand flew upside down screaming and flying upside down before the soldier who had climbed the city wall.

Everyone is playing the role of the god of death and the life of being harvested. But they didn't hesitate for a moment, as a warrior, their lives were meant for the glory of this moment.

The battle continued non-stop, and after noon, Yang Hao still stood motionless in the Chinese army and watched the enemy's formation, always with an unchanged smile on his face. In fact, seeing the soldiers bleeding, his heart was also hurting, but Ci was not in charge of the soldiers, since he had come to this day, he also had no way to retreat, only to move forward and move forward. When he was required to sacrifice regardless of his sacrifice, he could only force himself to be cold-blooded.

This is just the beginning, there will be more cruelty and helplessness he will experience in the future, if he can use a temporary killing poke in exchange for a long-term peace, it will be worth it. As for eternity, he never believed in once and for all, whether it was a country or a family, when luck came, it prospered, and when luck went, it died. This luck has nothing to do with heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, but it rises and falls, and the world also goes through reincarnations, never ending...... "Boom!" ”

There was a loud noise near the west city wall, it was the sound of gunpowder exploding, gunpowder in this era has been created according to different proportions of a variety of models, among which there are explosives that are very close to the standard ratio of black powder, but because the purity of gunpowder is not enough, the simple explosion effect is limited, so it is not valued by gunpowder craftsmen, they make gunpowder mainly in combination with other drugs, such as arsenic, to play the role of chemical weapons. However, the explosive power of black powder concentrated in a large number of standard proportions is still quite amazing.

Because the city wall is often on the shady side, and is eroded by the water of the moat, so it is in a damp state all the year round, and it is violently burned from the hole in the ground by the fierce gunpowder for a morning, and the city wall is dried, and cracks appear on the solid and heavy city wall, and then it is blasted with gunpowder, which produces an amazing effect, and I see a black billowing smoke rising like a mushroom cloud, and countless bricks and stones fly up into the air and fall in all directions.

Because this wall has been burned with fire, there are not many defenders at the head of the city, and there is no one under the city to attack the city, and the lethality to the soldiers is not great, but the entire wall collapsed due to the explosion. Although the trapezoidal city wall was thick and heavy, and the explosive effect of a large amount of gunpowder only had a destructive effect, and the entire city wall could not be completely destroyed, the blow to the confidence of the defenders was self-evident.

Seeing this, Mu En, who had just been withdrawn from the front and was resting and recuperating, seized the opportunity to expand the results of the battle with a stone thrower, suppressed the defenders who went to help with a crossbow and a bow, and organized a ladder and a watchtower to rush to the collapsed city wall.

Stones, crossbow arrows, and fireworks beads flew in the air, causing a lot of trouble to the defenders who went to help, but the city wall that fell down in an inclined shape was full of loose masonry and stone, and it was also very difficult for the Luzhou soldiers to rush up quickly, and the defenders on the left and right sides of the city used stone cannons and crossbow arrows to shoot crosswise, and used powerful firepower to prevent the Luzhou army from approaching, while organizing a large number of people to repair the gap, many people and healthy women who had been called to wait in the city were intimidated by the Khitan soldiers and rushed to the city with sandbags that had already been ready to stop. These sandbags were all prepared by Liu Jiye when he presided over the defense of the city, and now that Liu Jiye has become a prisoner, these things he prepared still come in handy.

Outside the city, it doesn't matter if you are a strong man or a woman, when you set foot on the battlefield, you are the enemy, arrows do not hesitate to pour down on them, many people carry sandbags and fall, even people fill the city wall with soil, sandbags are piled up gradually, gradually flattening that section of the city wall, followed by countless mud and water to fill the gaps, below is loose and uneven masonry, above is a layer of mud, it is not easy to climb.

However, the people and people who repaired the city wall have left more than 500 corpses, and the solidity of the hastily filled city wall is limited, and the defense facilities on the city have also been destroyed, and the defenders are not easy to play the geographical effect, and it is easy to become the main attack direction of the Luzhou army.

At this time, the sun was already setting, and a touch of twilight was dyeing the city.

"Jie Shuai, let's fight at night!" Mu Kui, who had just retired to rest, was on his upper body, his left arm was bandaged with a wound, and he rushed to ask Yang Hao for his life.

Yang Hao silently watched the battlefield for a long time, weighed it in his heart for a long time, shook his head, and ordered: "Mingjin retreats." ”

Mu Kui was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Collect the troops? ”

Yang Hao looked at him coldly and asked lightly, "I didn't hear my military order." ”

Mu Kui wilted, looked back and shouted: "Collect the troops, collect the troops, Mingjin collect the troops!" ”

The tide of the soldiers receded, the noise of the fighting ceased, and the battlefield suddenly became surprisingly quiet, and many of the soldiers who were physically exhausted found that they had exhausted even the last of their strength, and they staggered back to the camp, and fell to the ground, not bothering to move again.

The walls were littered with bloody corpses, some of which were still hanging upside down on the walls of the city or half-hung from the arrows, and the broken ladders, crashing cars, and folding moats were still burning and smoking, announcing the terrible battle that had just taken place here.

"Old man, shouldn't we go back?"

A frightened Li family member gently called to Li Yide, who had been staring at Yang Hao's military camp for a long time, saying that they had been standing for too long, and if they didn't leave earlier, they might be in danger of being discovered by Yang Danmo.

Li Yide didn't say a word, turned around and left, stepped on the dead corpses everywhere, bypassed a smashed troop transport road, and when he stepped on the ground with his feet on the ground, Li Yide looked around and saw that a corpse was moved off the city wall, many people who were captured to defend the city whimpered lowly, and more people were walking corpses with expressionless faces and numb expressions, dragging tired and scarred bodies, mechanically reinforcing the city defense in the roaring and scolding of Khitan soldiers.

He slowly lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Go back, call me all the principals of each branch and room, the old man has something important to discuss!" ”

The Luzhou army began to re-set up its camp, and smoke rose everywhere in the camp, and this was their life...... Yang Hao first sent people to hurry to Yelu's camp to ask them about their results today, and then shuttled through the barracks, visiting and consoling the soldiers of each battalion, and Zhi Ziyu followed behind him step by step, silently staring at Yang Hao's heavy and somewhat rickety back, and the eyes of Zhe Ziyu were also rippling. Suddenly, she quickened her pace, caught up with him, and said softly, "It's hard to feel good, isn't it?" ...... on the battlefield"

"I understand."

Yang Hao interrupted her words and silently took two steps, Yang Hao suddenly stopped again, turned around and smiled at Zhen Ziyu, and said in a low voice: "I really understand......"

The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected in his eyes, and his eyes sparkled and shimmered faintly with the same blood color as the sunset......
