Jin Wushu learned from the intelligence sent back by the secret spy that Tian Hu, the king of Jin, and his brothers had been jointly eradicated by Song Jiang and others, and now the boss of the Jin army is Song Jiang. In addition, Qiao Daoqing, a spy placed in the Jin army, seems to have betrayed Dajin and completely defected to Song Jiang.

Therefore, Jin Wushu suggested to the marshal that Wanyan Lou go south to Fenyang and force Song Jiang to express his position, either to be eliminated or to take refuge in Dajin. If it was the latter, he would immediately lead more than 300,000 men and horses to fight for the front station of the Western Route Army and jointly attack the Central Plains.

Xiao Yanguang agreed with Jin Wushu's opinion, and immediately sent a detective horse to inform Wan Yan Lou Chamber, asking him to directly lead his troops south to Fenyang Mansion, and at the same time let Jin Wu Shu take part of the stone throwing cart and Tiefu Tu to the south, and take Fenyang City with Wan Yan Lou Chamber. The golden vulture obeyed the order and immediately went to prepare.

Put down Jin Wushu and the others and go south to Fenyang without mentioning it, and then talk about the war in Taiyuan.

On the afternoon of the day when the equipment was completed, Xiao Yanguang, the commander of the Liao army, arranged tomorrow's battle in the Chinese military tent, and ordered the general Yelu Hongfu to lead 50,000 troops to feint the east gate, with only 300 ladders. Ordered the general Yelu Qitian to lead 50,000 troops to feint the north gate, and the siege equipment was also 300 ladders, and the general Xiao Tielong led 50,000 troops to feint the west gate, and he himself personally led more than 100,000 troops to attack the south gate.

Early the next morning, the Liao army had breakfast, and then the commanders of each army gathered their men and horses and launched an attack on various gates.

Outside the south gate, five five-story siege trucks, pulled by two hundred war horses, drove towards the south gate. Each siege engine has four floors, with 100 archers on the first and second floors, and 500 assault soldiers on the third and fourth floors, in addition to 100 archers.

The third layer in the east of the siege was as high as the city wall, and the fourth layer was eight feet higher than the first wall. Therefore, as soon as the siege vehicle is close to the city wall, the front on the third floor can directly step over the city wall, and the upper part on the fourth floor can jump on the wall to attack the enemy army.

As long as there is a scuffle on the city wall, hundreds of ladders can lean on the city wall, and countless Liao soldiers will rush to the city like a tide, so that the siege of the city is hopeful.

There are also hundreds of stone-throwing trucks pushed 600 paces away from the city, and they have already been commissioned. As long as the commander gives an order, a boulder of about 100 catties will fall from the sky and fly to the city.

Therefore, Xiao Yanguang pinned his hopes on siege vehicles and rock-throwing vehicles this time. Five siege engines stopped at a distance of 500 paces from the city, and the horses were turned into manpower, and each siege vehicle was pushed and pulled by more than 1,000 soldiers. In front of the entire offensive formation, there were three rows of soldiers holding wooden shields to block arrows for all the combatants.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Xiao Yanguang saw that all the participants were in place, and ordered the sergeants who beat the war drums to beat the war drums and issue the battle order.

Suddenly, hundreds of stone-throwing trucks loaded with stones and were about to throw them at the top of the city.

Suddenly, there was a series of rumbling thunder at the head of the city, and more than a dozen black stones flew in the sky, and they fell directly on the position where the stone-throwing trucks were placed, and more than a dozen stone-throwing vehicles were smashed at once, and at the same time, the flying sawdust killed and injured dozens of Liao soldiers who operated the stone-throwing trucks.

The 3,000 Liao soldiers who operated the stone-throwing truck suddenly ran away from the officers to the soldiers.

Xiao Yanguang, who was standing on a high place, was furious, and immediately ordered the overseer team to go over, and drove the soldiers in charge of the stone-throwing cart back to the position, and those who retreated were corrected on the spot.

The overseers rushed over, and finally roared and frightened, and brought the personnel of the cart throwing battalion back to their positions, but before they could bring the stones and load them, boom... Boom, strings of thunder rang out again, this time for a longer time. With the sound of thunder, dozens of black stones flew to the position of the stone-throwing vehicles, and this time no less than 60 stone-throwing vehicles were destroyed, and the number of casualties reached more than 100.

"Ah, what kind of stone thrower is this, it's thrown too accurately." "Run, run, this guy is amazing." ”

This time, even the Overseer was scared.

In this way, after an interval of three minutes, another dense rain of black stones came from the rock-throwing cart position, and after more than ten times, there was no one in ten of the hundreds of stone-throwing trucks, and it could no longer pose a great threat to the enemy army.

Fortunately, the five siege engines, which were as slow as snails, were getting closer and closer to Taiyuan City, less than a hundred steps away from the city wall. Under the cover of the wooden shield, countless cloud ladders, carried by thousands of Liao soldiers, also slowly approached the Liao city wall. As the siege army got closer to the city, Xiao Yanguang's heart became more and more excited, and his mouth kept shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up." While the wooden shield was not destroyed, the enemy could not cause damage to our army, and took Taiyuan City in one go! ”

Tens of thousands of archers, following the besieging infantry, continued to pour bows and arrows into the city, dense as a torrential rain. Maybe the soldiers guarding the city wall were overwhelmed by the dense rain of arrows and couldn't lift their heads, or maybe the family army was stupid by such a powerful siege scene. All of them hid behind the arrow stacks, not daring to fire back with their arrows. Of course, the counterattack was not very effective, and there were three rows of wooden shields in front of Bi Jing, which had little impact on the soldiers behind......

Standing on the tower of the south gate, he saw the Liao soldiers who were as dense as an ant colony pressing towards Taiyuan City. Exactly: the enemy tide is overwhelming the city and wants to destroy it, can the morale of the three armies ever fly? The head of the city roared, and the enemy turned to ashes in an instant?

When it was only about thirty steps away from the city wall, the shield soldiers in front lost their wooden shields, and launched a charge towards the city wall with waist knives. ”

The drums of war rang out. The sound of the drum is the command, and the drum is the enemy's talisman. Thousands of grenades were thrown from the head of the city to the enemy crowds, to the siege engines.

A few autumns later, the explosions rang out one after another, and after the two waves of grenades were fired, there were almost no Liao soldiers standing in the area within thirty steps of the city wall.

The 5,000 family troops defending the city stood up, each with a crossbow in their hands, and launched a covering shot at the Liao soldiers thirty paces away.

Immediately, the south city gate was opened, and Shi Wengong, one of the invincible five generals of the Dasheng Kingdom, rushed out of the city gate first. Immediately behind him were the Golden Sword Wang Shan, Chong Mingsong, the three generals of Chong Mingshan and 20,000 cavalry from Taihang Mountain.

Twenty thousand cavalrymen, their armor shining with silver and each with a shining broadsword, stepped on the corpses of the enemy and rushed towards the panicked enemy group......
