readx; The Song army carried out one of the most violent attacks, and the flames of incendiary bombs reflected half of the sky, and the fierce flames forced the Liao army to stop the attack and wait for the flames to be extinguished before continuing the attack.

The Song army withdrew from the first ice wall in turn, and the damaged Baniu crossbow was discarded on the spot after the main parts were removed, and they threw gunpowder shells into the ice house as they left, leaving the Liao army with piles of ice.

When a white fish belly appeared in the sky, Xilamulun carefully crossed the first ice wall and did not see the existence of a Song army, and then, he found a pennant from the ground and climbed a broken ice wall and waved it vigorously.

Chen Shu behind the second ice wall was bandaging the wound on his arm, and saw a Liao army with a top body arrogantly waving a flag, and said to his opponent with a smile: "This dog day is a bargain, and the credit of the first person to climb the wall is not small." ”

"Let Lao Tzu give him an arrow, so that he will not be surprised."

"Forget it, the crossbow gun can't be used on a person's body, and besides, although such a long distance is still within the range of the Eight Bull Crossbow, but if you want to shoot such a small target, Liu Ergou, you don't have that ability yet."

Chen Shu tore the bandage with his hand, and found that the military doctor was very firmly bound, and if he moved his arm again, there was no big problem, and last night he was cut by the Liao people with a spear, but it looked terrifying but did not hurt the muscles and bones of "∞.

The marshal wanted to wait for the Liao army to enter the natural urn city formed by the first ice wall and the second ice wall before making a move, and it was clear that the Liao people were not fooled, they began to dismantle the first ice wall, pick up the triangular thorns scattered on the ground, and they were even collecting the horses that had died in battle. The Song army could even see the hungry Liao people even cut off a piece of horse meat on the spot and roast it on the fire of war, and before the horse meat was cooked, they tore it up.

Chen Shu knew that the marshal didn't care about time, and even the longer it dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for the Song army, which in itself was a manifestation of strength, or this was a superficial embodiment of the overall strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the past, it was fought in Cochin. Whether it is fighting in Qingtang or Dali, shortening the combat time as much as possible is one of the things that the Song army needs to prioritize.

Because as long as it drags on for one more day, the Great Song Dynasty will have to spend a large amount of money, so the Jingxi Army is often in danger in its operations, and even if it wins, it is terrifying.

Now it's different, what the Great Song Dynasty needs is a hearty victory, as for the time, even the emperor who is on the verge of death has not deliberately asked Yun Zheng. Therefore, Yun Zheng has time to face Xiao Dahu in a difficult situation.

Last night's offensive and defensive battle started from Zi Shi and did not stop until dawn, whether it was the Song army or the Liao army for four hours, they all needed to rest at this time, Yun Zheng knew that Xiao Dahu was not willing to rest. As long as the first wall of ice is destroyed, the war will continue.

Through the efforts of those displaced people brought by Wang Anshi, there are now as many as five such ice walls. No matter how much it is, it is impossible to do more, as the encirclement continues to expand, the length of the ice wall built by the displaced people is also increasing, and the defense line of the Song army is getting longer and longer.

Fortunately, the material used to build the wall is knee-deep ice and snow, and the material is all around, if you use other materials such a long five-lane high wall. Without three or two years of hard work, it simply cannot be formed.

Chen Shu had been fighting all night last night, so during the day, they retreated, and in their place were the white horses in fur hats.

After explaining the matter of the whistle to a swarthy white horse marquis, he found a random igloo and spread his fur coat and fell asleep. God knows how long this war will last, the most important thing now is to eat and sleep.

As soon as his head touched the backpack used as a pillow, the ground began to tremble, Chen Shu instinctively wanted to jump up, and threw his body heavily on the fur, the cavalry of the Liao people began to attack again, there is nothing to worry about, the eight bull crossbows and gunpowder bullets will wipe them out halfway, this is the daytime, whether it is the eight bull crossbow or crossbow arrows, or gunpowder bullets, their power will be doubled.

Counting silently, when Chen Shu counted to fifteen, he heard the sound of gunpowder bombs exploding, and then he fell asleep happily.

Yun Zheng sat on the building car, yawning and looking at the battle ahead, Xiao Dahu's attack did not have a clear focus, and he had too many troops in his hands, so that he could deploy enough troops at every attack point.

As a result, the entire Xijing City is like the heart of a flower, and the attacking Liao army is like a blooming petal stretching out in all directions.

The larger the strength of the army, the wider the space for distribution. The terrain outside the ice wall of Xijing City could not accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops to engage in fierce battles, so as long as the Liao people broke through an ice wall, the scale of the war would increase geometrically, and when the Liao army began to attack the fifth ice wall, the Armageddon would begin.

The cavalry of the Song army was very few, so Yun Zheng did not send the cavalry to the battle of the ice wall to attack and defend, but placed it behind the fifth ice wall, if the battle for the fifth ice wall really began, the cavalry under the command of Zhao Yang should be the sharpest spear in Yun Zheng's hand, and as soon as this spear comes out, it will determine the outcome of the war.

The Liao army has opened the posture of a decisive battle, Yun Zheng can once again order the troops to retreat, but the Liao people can't retreat, their retreat is a dead end, although Xiao Dahu knows that such a way to break the ice wall will lose a large number of soldiers, but he does not dare to relax, if he is not resolute, what will the soldiers in the army think? What do the generals think? Repeatedly advancing and retreating, the morale of the troops can easily be worn out.

An army that has lost its morale will not have any combat effectiveness. Moreover, in the retreat, the troops are also prone to chaos, and once they are chased and killed by the Song people, hundreds of thousands of people may completely collapse.

In terms of numbers, the Liao people were superior after all, so the morale of the Liao army did not collapse as Chen Lin thought, and the temporary crisis inspired them to have infinite courage.

Facing the enthusiastic and passionate generals who came to ask for battle, Xiao Dahu secretly made up his mind that he could take this opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the Song army. If the Song army's combat strength is not enough, it is of course ideal to destroy a Song army. If your own battle is unfavorable today, then you will no longer attack in such an all-round way, but choose one or two key points, and take as many people as you can.

"Order the three tents to launch a tentative attack on the mountain!" Xiao Dahu gave orders to his subordinates. Drums and trumpets sounded, and 1,500 Liao soldiers in front of them bravely rushed towards a section of the ice wall in front.

When they reached the ice wall, the ballista gun the thickness of the baby's arm poured down with a terrible "whining" sound. The Liao soldiers who were hit by the ballista arrows, no matter what kind of shield they were carrying, invariably pierced their bodies and died, and the powerful crossbow spears sometimes pierced the corpses of two or three Liao people. Then the fist-sized stone pellet fell into the crowd of attackers, and the Song army's ballista also began to fire, but the ballista fired only ordinary stones at this time.

The attacking soldiers dispersed amid the shouts of the officers, and the lethality of the Song army's crossbow stones was greatly reduced. However, after they had just broken through the range of the Song army's rangefinder arrows, the Han army's powerful crossbow arrows fell from the sky. The dense and precise arrow feathers caused hundreds of Liao people to fall to the ground with arrows, and the rest began to retreat, and the first attack was defeated and retreated.

This was just a small temptation, and after finding out the strength of the Song army, Xiao Dahu officially ordered an attack. The 5,000 Liao army shouted again and swarmed up.

On the originally quiet wasteland, after a horn sounded, the shouts of killing suddenly erupted, and the arrows and stones of the Han and Song armies were sprayed down again. The strong crossbowmen of the 3,000 Liao people approached the ice wall under the cover of the shield at this time, and launched a confrontation with the crossbowmen of the Song army.

Under their cover, the accuracy of the Song army's crossbowmen was greatly reduced. Seeing that the Liao people were about to approach the ice wall, countless black shadows appeared from behind the ice wall, which were porcelain jars one by one, and fell into the Liao crowd in a crisp cracking sound.

The Liao crossbowmen were shocked and hurriedly retreated, and the strong smell made them all know that there was fire oil flowing on the ground. The churning fireball ignited the fire oil on the ground, and for a while, the flames were blazing, the military flags were reduced to ashes, and the soldiers' clothes were on fire, and they fled in embarrassment with screams.

Losing the suppression, the Song army's bow and crossbow once again exerted its might, and the Liao soldiers who were in the range of the crossbow arrows had nowhere to hide, and were shot countless times at one time, rolling down in the sound of crying and screaming, and the second attack of the Liao people failed again.

Xiao Dahu's face was pale, and the strong crossbowmen suffered the heaviest casualties in this Song army's fire and oil bomb attack.

The weapons of the Song army are advanced, and Xiao Dahu has long known that he is mentally prepared for both gunpowder and oil bombs, but this time the Song army put the fire oil in a porcelain jar and threw it with a ballista to form a large area of fire, which is the first time.

Soon he made a change, and the cavalry of the Liao people slowly retreated to the rear of the battle array, and a large number of infantry lined up in a dense horizontal formation with huge shields pressed towards the front of the Song army.

The horizontal team soon became full of holes under the blow of the Eight Bull Crossbows, but at this time the Liao army had been forced to a distance of two hundred steps from the ice wall, and just when the Song army was about to launch a dense rain of arrows, many boulders, crossbow guns, and stone pellets flew out of the infantry ranks of the Liao people.

The ground trembled, debris of the ice wall splattered, and some boulders flew into the back of the second ice wall, landing in the array of crossbowmen, flesh flying. (To be continued.) )
