In the middle of summer, the scorching sun shone on the sturdy and tall Youzhou City, steaming and roasting the Liao army that was waiting for the battle. At this time, there was a handsome young man standing at the head of the city, about thirty years old, wearing a battle armor and a flowered robe, holding a delicate gold-handled folding fan, not only like a young hero, but also quite a bit of a gentleman's feeling.

With his left hand behind his back, he gently shook the folding fan with his right hand, squinting his eyes as if admiring the forest in the distance, and the sorghum river at the edge of the forest, which was not too wide, but crystal clear. He was followed by a lieutenant general, who stood behind this young man and was silent. seems to be afraid that if he says the wrong thing, he will be punished by this light year.

Qingnian stood at the head of the city for a long time, sweat flowing down his forehead and dripping on the white flower robe he was wearing. Qingnian's face became a little ugly, and he shouted: "It's hot, it's hot!" I don't know when my father will come back when he will return to Linhuang Mansion to report his work, if he doesn't come back, his baby son will be dried alive! ”

The deputy general said with a smile on his face: "Little Lord, although Lao Er Zhao Guangyi personally came to attack Yanyun with hundreds of thousands of horses, you don't have to work so hard every day. Otherwise, after King Yan returns, he should blame the lower officials. ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from all sides of Youzhou City, which seemed to be both moving and thundering. Don't say that the careless little prince Han De gave way, and even the battle-hardened deputy general Yelubi and the soldiers guarding the city beside him also became colorless after hearing this loud noise.

Han Derang grabbed Yelubi's sleeve and said in a panic: "This ...... What is this sound? Whether it's thunder, or the ground is moving, you go and send someone to check, go quickly! ”

Yelubi was equally shocked, pointed ahead and said, "Little prince, there is no need to investigate this matter, look what it is!" ”

Han Derang looked in the direction of his finger, and saw an endless sea of people in the distance, like a dense black cloud rolling in the sky, and like a turbulent wave in the sea, wave after wave surging towards Youzhou City, this deafening loud sound was their uniform footsteps, the sonorous sound of ironclad knives and guns, and the noise of people shouting and neighing.

As the army got closer and closer, the sound became louder and louder, and even though Han Derang desperately covered his ears, he was still shocked and almost fainted. Yelu Bi hurriedly hugged Han Derang, and said at a loss: "Little prince, there are too many Song troops, even if we fight to the end, it will only be a jade burn, so it is better for us to surrender!" ”

Han Derang stomped his feet angrily when he heard this, and scolded: "Yelubi, how can this prince be greedy for life and afraid of death, unless his father orders it, this prince would rather die in battle than surrender to the Song people!" ”

Yelubi sighed helplessly, "Alas, since you are unwilling to surrender, then think of a way." Otherwise, with only the tall city wall, it is okay to block the Song army for a few days, and it will definitely fall after a long time! ”

Han Derang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, pacing back and forth at the head of the city, looking at the city for a while, and sighing at the sky for a while. Seeing this, Yelu Bi secretly said in his heart: "If you wait for this little ancestor to come up with a plan, I am afraid that Youzhou City has already been captured by the Song people." "I had to go beyond the border to deploy the city defense.

Soon, the Song army gathered under the city of Youzhou.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the head of the city, saw that it was a light year to defend the city, and asked Cao Bin: "Cao Qing's family, I remember that the defender of Youzhou is Han Kuanghei, the king of Yan, but why is there a young man standing in the city?" ”

Cao Bin also looked at the city, and said after a while: "Official, this person should be Han Derang, the son of Han Kuangsi, Han Kuangsi is afraid that he will go to Linhuang Mansion to report on his work, and he may be here to guard the city for his father." ”

Zhao Guangyi slapped his hands and laughed when he heard this, and said, "Hahaha, it's really heaven helping me!" The order went down, and the army surrounded Youzhou City on all sides, so that the Liao army in the city could not fly. As long as you take Youzhou City, the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will be my world! ”

Cao Bin hurriedly said: "Official, no!" If the city is besieged on all sides, the Liao army is bound to resist desperately, but it is not beautiful. It's better to open the net, so that the military heart in the city will definitely float, and when the official family takes Youzhou, it will be like exploring the bag! ”

Zhao Guangyi shook his head and said: "Cao Qing's family, I have heard for a long time that the strength of the iron cavalry of the Liao State is amazing, if the net is opened and the cavalry in the city is killed, I am afraid that our military camp will not be able to support it." When the time comes, it will not be able to shake the enemy's morale, but our army camp will be in chaos first, but it is better to besiege the city on all sides. ”

Cao Bin wanted to continue admonishing, but Zhao Guangyi waved his hand to stop his words, "Cao Qing's family doesn't need to say any more, I have made up my mind, you just need to carry it out!" ”

"Yes......" Cao Bin replied helplessly and went to order.

Soon, the Song army built three-layer tents on all sides of Youzhou City, surrounded the magnificent and strong Youzhou City, and they launched an attack under the order of Zhao Guangyi after a short rest. Some of these Song soldiers were armed with spears, some were armed with shields, some were carrying ladders, and some were pushing carts, and they rushed towards Youzhou without fear of death.

Han Derang stood at the head of the city, waved his hand at the soldiers defending the city, and shouted: "Shoot, shoot them quickly!" They must not be allowed to climb up to Youzhou City! With his words, the countless Liao troops at the head of the city opened their bows and arrows at the same time, and countless sharp arrows shot at the Song army besieging the city like a storm.

Although the Song army was strong, after all, they were all mortals, and in an instant, countless Song troops were shot by random arrows, some could still persist in fighting, and more fell to the ground and died. The Song army relied on the large number of people, like a tide receding and rising, no matter how many comrades fell in front, there were always countless people stepping on the bones all over the ground and rushing forward.

Some of these people are for the ideals in their hearts, some are to satisfy the desire to kill people and set fires, but more often they are to receive a reward so that the family can live a better life. In the face of ideals, desires, and emotions, Mo said that the front is just a towering and strong city wall and a rain of arrows, even if what awaits them in front of them is a sea of swords and fire, they will not hesitate to move towards the goal in their hearts.

In such an environment, cowards will also become brave, and scholars who are powerless will become warriors who fight to the death, and even Han Derang and Zhao Guangyi invariably drew their swords and rushed to the front line to personally command and supervise the battle.

At this time, both the city and the city were soaked in blood, all shrouded in shouts of killing, and all ignited by the raging flames in the chests of the warriors. The drums and trumpets of the Song and Liao armies shook the heavens and the earth, and the fierce killing intent soared into the sky!

The war lasted from noon to night, and the two sides were still evenly matched. Mo said that the soldiers who fought bloodily, even the commanders of both sides were exhausted, and they had no choice but to rest temporarily and continue the battle until tomorrow morning.

At night, a crescent moon hung in the sky, Zhao Guangyi stood in front of the Huangluo tent with his hands in his hands, looking at the cold moonlight, and silently thought in his heart, "Second brother, the Northern Han Dynasty, which you and Zhou Shizong had never captured back then, has been wiped out by me, and I must also take the sixteen states of Yanyun that you have in mind!" I must let the whole world know that I am not inferior to you, whether it is civil governance or martial arts! ”

At this time, a young man in a silver robe walked in front of Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi hurriedly shouted: "Yuntong judge, I have something to look for you." ”

Yun Zixiao's footsteps faltered slightly, and then walked over to Zhao Guangyi, "Official, what are you looking for Weichen?" Didn't you want to send Weichen to say that Han Derang was surrendered? ”

Zhao Guangyi stroked his long hair and said expectantly: "Exactly, Yuntong was able to persuade Liu Jiyuan to surrender before the judgment, and he must also be able to persuade Han De to surrender to my Great Song Dynasty, right?" ”

Yun Zixiao shook his head helplessly, "Official, Han Derang's grandfather Han Zhigu is the founding father of the Liao State, and his father Han Kuangsi is also high in the position of King Yan. ”

Zhao Guangyi frowned slightly, and asked, "Then what is the clever plan of Yuntong Judgment to capture Youzhou as soon as possible?" ”

Yun Zixiao thought for a while and said, "Official, Youzhou City is tall and strong, and the guards will not be easily obedient, and Weichen has nothing to do." However, Weichen has a good friend, whose name is Mo Feixian, and he is extremely proficient in the mechanism, maybe he will have a way. ”

Zhao Guangyi suddenly realized when he heard this, and said, "Yes, how can I forget such a genius!" Almost all the generals of the Daimyo Mansion have gone out with me, and most of him are also in the army, so I quickly went to find him, and I will be rewarded! Yun Zixiao bowed, slowly retreated, and soon disappeared into the endless tent.

Less leaning, Yun Zixiao came to Zhao Guangyi with Mo Fei's attack.

Zhao Guangyi didn't wait for Mo Fei to attack Shi Li, so he hurriedly asked, "General Mo, do you have a way to help me capture Youzhou City?" If I can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop, on the day I return to the dynasty, I will definitely be rewarded! ”

Mo Fei said confidently: "The official family, there will be three methods to break through Youzhou in the end, I don't know which one the official family is willing to adopt?" ”

Zhao Guangyi said excitedly: "General Mo's words are serious, hurry up and talk in my account!" As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and walked quickly into the tent, followed by Yun Zixiao and Mo Feijing, and entered the Huangluo tent.

The large tent was very simple, except for a large and solid wooden couch, a sandalwood table and a few sandalwood chairs. On the sandalwood table, there are also a few quaint military books, and a topographic map of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Zhao Guangyi walked to a chair in the middle and sat down, and said to the two of them: "The enemy is now, there is no need to worry so much, you two should sit down quickly." ”

The two of them hurriedly said: "I'm waiting in front of the official, how dare I sit down?" ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled, "I let you sit, you sit!" Don't say it's sitting, as long as you can help me take the sixteen states of Yanyun, you are lying on my couch, and I will never blame you. Hearing this, the two hurriedly bowed, and then sat opposite Zhao Guangyi as they said.

As soon as they sat down, Zhao Guangyi couldn't wait to ask: "General Mo, I don't know what the three methods you just said, I don't know what kind of tricks they are?" ”

Mo Fei hurriedly introduced them one by one: "Official, the best policy of the last general is to use gunpowder and iron sand to create forty artillery pieces by chance, as long as these cannons are fired at the same time, they will definitely be able to blow up the city wall of Youzhou, and the army will be unimpeded." The middle strategy is to improve the thunderbolt car slightly, so that the height of its stone throwing is divided into three types: far, medium and near, far can hit the city of Youzhou, can hit the defenders of the city, and can hit the Liao army of the city battle, so that each shot will not be thrown aimlessly, but like a bow and arrow. As for the next strategy, it is to use shields to cover some people and horses to arrive at the city of Youzhou, dig tunnels around the city wall, and bury the fire-causing things in them, and cover them with wooden boards, so that the foundation of Youzhou City will fall down. ”

Zhao Guangyi was very excited when he heard this, and said, "General Mo, how long will it take for this strategy to take?" ”

Mo Feijing said with some embarrassment: "Official, don't say that the last general has never made artillery, and no one has ever done it in thousands of years, so it will take at least a year for the last general to make forty artillery." ”

Zhao Guangyi shook his head and sighed regretfully, "Alas, a year is too long, I'm afraid that the situation between the Song and Liao armies has been decided at that time, what is the use of artillery?" ”

Mo Feifeng nodded and said, "The middle strategy will also take three months to complete, but I am afraid that when the Thunderbolt is improved, the war will be over." ”

Zhao Guangyi said helplessly: "Yes, it seems that the only way to do this is to adopt the next strategy, I hope that the foundation of Youzhou City has long been decayed, and this plan can succeed in one fell swoop." ”

Mo Feifeng stood up and arched his hand: "Official, since you have decided to take the next step, then you will start to prepare." But I hope that the official family will be blessed with all the sky, and this plan can be successful immediately! ”
