But no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, this thing has become inevitable after all.

Early the next morning, the generals set off again with Sun Ning and led the army to Kaifeng City.

At this time, inside and outside Kaifeng City, it has already become a big battlefield and two large barracks.

The city wall with a height of more than eight zhang stands in front of the Vietnamese army like a mountain wall, coupled with the surrounding of the diversion water, there is a moat several zhang wide, this city is more easy to defend and difficult to attack than the city of Liangzhou.

Not to mention that the Vietnamese army has only arrived here with more than 100,000 people, even if there are really rear reinforcements arriving later, and the strength of the army is doubled, it is difficult to completely surround this important city in the Central Plains.

At present, it seems that more than 100,000 people can completely control and cover the city walls on both sides, and if there is a lack of one of the three sieges, the troops will be too scattered and it will be difficult to suppress the soldiers and horses at the head of the city.

Coupled with the shortage of large-scale siege weapons in the Vietnamese army, their threat to the entire city has dropped another notch.

So in a sense, the effect of Zhao Qianhui leading his troops to attack the grain transportation team was quite obvious, although the more important grain was not destroyed, but those building cars, crashes and other equipment have been burned.

The woods around Kaifeng City have long been cleared by the defenders, so the Vietnamese army naturally can't build suitable weapons here, and can only look at the city wall in vain.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is the climate.

At present, it is the middle of winter, under the freezing of the weather, the moat around Kaifeng City has already been frozen, but there is no need for the Vietnamese army to fill in the river and build bridges, just cross the ice.

Today is also the same, as the drums of war sounded, a vanguard army of more than 5,000 people rushed towards the city like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The distance of two or three miles was almost rushed by them, and then the most ordinary simple tools such as erecting ladders launched an attack on the top of the city.

This kind of battle has happened many times before, but this time the Vietnamese army's attack was slightly different after all.

Today's Vietnamese offensive is more fierce than ever before, and all the officers and men have burst out with 120 percent combat strength and courage.

Even if someone climbed halfway up, the defenders above knocked down the ladder with a hook, and the person fell with him. But as long as they don't really break their hands and feet and can't get up again, they can still quickly get up again and continue to attack upwards with a ladder.

As for the arrows on the top or something, for the Vietnamese army, it is even more of a non-worrying existence. Look at the book

Almost all of them wore thick leather armor or even iron armor, and they also had a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, with the shield on their heads and constantly upward. Whether it was an arrow or a stone, even if it was boiling water, most of them were blocked by the shield first, and the damage was limited.

As a result, the city's defense of the attacking army naturally became a little difficult, and the only way to do it was to use some more lethal weapons to beckon downwards, in order to kill and injure more enemies.

In this way, you attacked and defended the ground for half an hour, and the Vietnamese army suffered more than 500 casualties, but the offensive did not decrease.

This made the defenders finally feel a little uneasy, and their doubts became heavier.

"Why are they so fierce, you say?"

"Xu was blocked for many days before, and finally made them ruthless and desperate?"

"No, I heard that the deadline given to them by their court was to break my seal before the end of the year, and now there is still more than half a month."

"That is, what noble people have come to the army, and they want to behave?"

"This is even more unlike, you must know that the main general on the other side, Yan Hu, is already a marquis, how high his status is, who else can be more valuable than him? Could it be that their emperor himself came?"

This made everyone laugh, how could it be?

How noble is the emperor, how could he take a great risk to come to the front?

After a long time, the general suddenly felt a move in his heart: "You say, could it be that there is a problem in the rear of the Vietnamese army, which makes them anxious?"

"What's the rear problem? It's not going to be a change in Jiangnan, right?"

"Of course it can't be in Jiangnan, then it must be Guan Long's Li

What if the general sent troops to the rescue?"

These words lifted everyone's spirits: "If this is the case, our chance has come!"

"Yes, because there is a large army in the rear, they can't take care of each other, so they want to take Kaifeng from me at any cost, and then think about returning to the army...... Brothers, hold on for a few more days, and perhaps the enemy will be defeated without a fight!"

Inspired by such words, the morale of the soldiers defending the city suddenly increased, and they all fought hard, either firing crossbows and crossbows, or smashing stones, anyway, not allowing any enemy troops who climbed the city to have a chance to really approach the city.

Not far away, Sun Ning watched the fierce battlefield under the city in the army, and his heart was inevitably emotional.

This Kaifeng City is really worthy of being a big city in the Central Plains second only to Luoyang, and it is not an exaggeration to say that its city is solid.

If the smaller city was so desperately attacked by its own army, I am afraid that it would not be able to support it for a long time, and it would have been broken through the city. But the city in front of him, at such a great price, he couldn't even touch the edge of the city.

Therefore, it is really hard to imagine how the Northern Song Dynasty in history was wiped out by tens of thousands of gold soldiers.

With such a large fortified city in hand, even if you defend it to the end, with the millions of people in the city, you can drag it up and down with one heart, and you can also consume the enemy army alive and dead under this fortified city.

It's true that god-like opponents are common, but pig-like teammates are not common.

And from Sun Ning's current point of view, if he wants to break through Kaifeng, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it with the current people.

But this is all later, at this time, his face sank, and he looked left and right: "Go and urge Liang Zuoche to let him attack the city with all his might, don't hide."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Hu's face changed again, but he was speechless.

Sun Ning's meaning was already very clear, that is, he was urging Liang Zuoche to go into battle in person and risk death to attack the city.

But in reality, this is not wrong.

Because there is a main general who takes the lead in launching a surprise attack, it will increase the morale of the whole army, and maybe it can really be done.

It's just that this risk of death is also likely to become real death.

But now, Liang Zuoche didn't dare to disobey, even if he was neatly dressed, under the escort of many personal soldiers, he personally rushed to the city, and also carried a knife and a shield, climbed the ladder, and went straight up.

At this moment, the morale of the army was greatly boosted again, and the morale of the first army was raised to a new level, and everyone walked straight up like apes, and almost in just a few breaths, some people climbed to unprecedented heights, to the position where there was only one person left from the city.

It seems that with just one more step, they will be able to climb the wall without a hitch!
