Immediately, the cannons rang out in unison, and the whistling cannonballs went straight to a gap in the city wall, and at this time, the gap in the city wall had been blocked by Yan Yun with wooden strips and stones and other debris overnight. However, it was impossible for such debris to withstand the bombardment of artillery, and after only a few volleys, the debris piled up in the gap was blasted away! The Khitan State assault troops, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, immediately launched a charge, and at the same time, the Liao State's artillery turned its muzzle and continued to bombard another gap. In this way, the Liao army used artillery to blast open three gaps one after another, and three Khitan attack troops rushed through these three gaps, while at the same time, two other Khitan armies used siege equipment such as ladders to attack the city wall. The tactics used by the Khitan army today are basically the same as before, and the Yanyun army is resisting step by step, and the two sides are fighting fiercely on the city wall at the gap, and the killing sound is shocking.

At this moment, Long Ba, the general of the Khitan army, suddenly led 10,000 elites outside the north gate and launched a fierce attack. The militia soldiers on the city wall were caught off guard, and many people were knocked down by several waves of arrows from the other side, and the rest were terrified and turned around and fled off the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Long Ba laughed, and immediately ordered his soldiers to shoot a hook to hook the head of the city with a strong attack, and then use the rope to fly across the moat and climb to the city. Hundreds of elites of the Liao army quickly flew across the moat and climbed to the top of the city, and then these elites of the Khitan army were divided into four parts, two of which held the gate towers in front of and behind the gates of the urn city, and the other two quickly ran to the two gates and opened the city gates. Seeing that the city gate was wide open, Long Ba immediately led nearly 10,000 elites outside the city to rush into the city gate.

Shout! A sharp whistling sound suddenly came, and the Khitan army officer who was guarding the second city gate was shot through the neck by a sharp arrow, and fell down with a glare. The Khitan soldiers were shocked, and before they could react, a dense rain of arrows roared, and the Khitan soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and more than half fell in a blink of an eye, and the remaining Khitan soldiers hurriedly raised their shields and gathered. A loud rumbling sound suddenly came, and all the Khitan soldiers suddenly saw a large group of fierce warriors in black clothes, black armor and black cloaks turning out of the streets and alleys not far away, rushing towards them. The officers and soldiers of the Khitan Army couldn't help but be startled, and an officer shouted at the top of his voice: "It's the Xuanjia Army, everyone be careful!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the Xuanjia army threw a javelin violently, and the javelin rain fell into the middle of the Khitan army with a loud crackling sound, the javelin pierced through the shield and pierced the human body, many Khitan troops were shot to the ground, and the originally well-organized defensive front immediately became full of holes! In the blink of an eye, the Xuanjia war cavalry crashed into the middle of the Khitan army like a storm, and the huge impact sound rang out, and many Khitan soldiers were knocked out by the huge impact; The Xuanjia army wielded horizontal swords and horse lances, and these elites of the Khitan army had no ability to resist, and they were killed to the point that their corpses were bleeding, and in an instant, they were all killed and wounded.

At the same time, there were also Xuanjia Army, Light Cavalry, Hidden Killing Guards, and Feifeng Female Guards, rushing up the city wall from various city wall ladders, shooting with bows and crossbows, rushing and killing, hundreds of Khitan elites couldn't resist at all, and they were killed in an instant, and the two city gate towers and all parts of the city returned to the hands of Yan Yunjun. At this time, seven or eight thousand Khitan troops had just entered the urn city, and the other two or three thousand were still outside the city, and the two city gates fell suddenly, locking up the seven or eight thousand Khitan troops in the urn city.

When the officers and men of the Khitan army suddenly saw such a situation, they all panicked. Long Ba looked at Yan Yunjun on the surrounding city wall, and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while? In fact, it is very simple, Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin have already thought of Ye Yu Tiger City's strategy of attacking the west, so they have already prepared a countermeasure.

Not long ago, the sentry found that a Khitan army of 10,000 people had left the city and walked around the city, so he reported it to Yang Peng. Even if Yang Peng judged that the other party was going to raid the North City Gate, he mobilized all the Xuanjia Army and a part of the light cavalry, as well as the hidden guards and the Feifeng Female Guard, plus more than 10,000 militiamen, and set a trap near the North City Gate to lure the king into the urn.

Long Ba led the army to the north gate of the city, and a few waves of arrows shot away the people's army on the city. Long Ba only thought that the civilian army was vulnerable, and there was no doubt about him, so he implemented the raid plan step by step. The operation went smoothly, but the situation took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant, which he did not expect.

Yang Peng stood on the city wall, looked at the turtle Jin army soldiers in the urn, raised his right hand, and put it down suddenly. In an instant, arrows rained down all around, and rolling stones and trees fell towards the urn city like hail. There were no buildings in the urn city, nor any sundries, and the Khitan soldiers had no way to dodge, they were shot down one after another, they were smashed down one after another, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams resounded one after another. The Khitan soldiers ran around, but where could they escape, and the result of running around was only to be shot and stoned to death! The soldiers who crowded at the gate of the city and tried to lift the iron gate were suddenly drenched by the fire oil poured down from the hole above, and then several torches fell, and the fire oil burned when it met the fire, and it burned in an instant, and the entire city gate cave became a fire cave, and dozens of hundreds of Khitan soldiers were burned and screamed, and the others saw this, frightened, and ran backwards. ……

Half an hour later, the whole city fell silent. The flames burned themselves in the cave of the city gates, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of burning; The ground of the urn city was drenched in blood, and seven or eight thousand corpses were stacked on top of each other, some of them were shot to death, others were stoned to death by rolling stones and wood, and many of them had their heads shattered and looked horrible. A dozen lucky ones did not die, crawling with difficulty in the pile of corpses and blood.

The second gate opened, and dozens of light cavalry rushed into the urn city, and shot the people who were not yet dead. Immediately, more than 1,000 people's troops and 5,000 or 6,000 people rushed into the urn city, preparing to clean up the battlefield. Seeing the sight of corpses strewn all over the place in front of them, many people were frightened on the spot. The two or three thousand Khitan troops outside the city, who were lucky not to enter the city, were terrified to the extreme when they saw that their soldiers and horses were all wiped out, and they did not dare to stay here longer, so they quickly fled back.

When he saw two or three thousand of his own soldiers and horses fleeing back from the southeast corner of the city, he was greatly surprised, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. Soon after, the defeated soldiers came to the horse of Yeyu Tiger City and knelt down and said: "King Qiqi, our army has been ambushed, and most of the people have been killed!" ”

Although Ye Hu Cheng and the others had already expected it, they were still taken aback when they heard this, and Ye Hu Cheng said angrily: "What about Long Ba? Tell him to come to me! The defeated soldier said: "General Long Ba, together with seven or eight thousand brothers, entered the city of Weng, but fell into the trap of the enemy, unable to advance or escape, and finally the whole army was annihilated!" General Long Ba, he, he's just afraid that he has already been killed! ”

Ye Hu Cheng's heart ached, his face changed several times, he took a deep breath, and muttered: "Long Ba, you are worthy of being a warrior of the Great Liao Kingdom, good job!" When the generals heard this, their panic suddenly disappeared, and their grief and indignation suddenly rose, and Han Chang said loudly: "King, we must break through Yanjing and avenge General Long Ba and them!" The generals echoed one after another, and the crowd looked very angry.

Ye Hu Cheng looked up at the majestic Yanjing City, his resolute face showed incomparable resentment, at this moment, he had already made up his mind to kill all the creatures in Yanjing City when he broke through Yanjing, only in this way can he eliminate the hatred in his heart! The reason why Yehu Hucheng is so angry is not entirely for Long Ba, the main reason is that he feels that his own 300,000 heavy soldiers are besieging the city guarded by only about 60,000 soldiers and horses, and after half a month, he has suffered heavy losses but failed to break through the city, Ye Hu Cheng feels that his dignity as the protector of the country has been greatly hurt, and his anger has been accumulating more and more in his heart these days, and Long Ba's death is like an introduction, which has triggered all the boundless anger in Ye Hucheng's heart, and he just wants to kill Yanjing after breaking through!

At that moment, a herald horse galloped in from the northwest. Yeron Tiger City's thoughts were interrupted, and he followed the prestige to see a herald riding his horse. Nervousness swelled up in everyone's hearts for no apparent reason.

After a while, the herald rushed to the front of Yeyu Hucheng, reined in his horse, didn't care about getting off his horse, and hurriedly reported: "King Qiyu, Yan Yunjun suddenly appeared and captured Danzhou!" When everyone heard the news, they were all taken aback. Danzhou, which has appeared more than once above, is the northernmost state capital of the sixteen states of Yanyun, before Yang Xiong fled without a fight, and Ma Jin fought alone, and the location was in Danzhou. This Danzhou is an important node for the logistics of the Khitan army, as well as the transfer of the wounded and trophies, Yelu Hucheng left 10,000 defenders, he never dreamed that Danzhou would be breached? !

Yelu Hucheng couldn't control his emotions anymore, and angrily reprimanded: "It's nonsense! The Yanyun army is trapped here, where did the Yanyun army attack Danzhou! Do you dare to lie about the military situation? ”

The herald said urgently: "The villain will never dare to lie about the military situation!" It is indeed the Yanyun Army, it is the Third Army of Yanyun, and the leader of the army will be Liu Zhiliang! ……”

Everyone was shocked, and then they remembered that the Yanyun Army had two legions stationed in the sixteen states of Yanyun, one was Li Xu's second legion who was defending Yanjing in front of him, and the other was Liu Zhiliang's third legion. During this period of time, everyone almost forgot about Liu Zhiliang and his Second Legion, not that they were too careless, but they really didn't expect that they were still in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Ye Yu Hucheng and the others thought that under the attack of their own 300,000 war cavalry from all sides, the Third Legion had already fled from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and they did not expect that they were not only still in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but also raided Danzhou in one fell swoop?! This is so unexpected!

Han Chang said worriedly: "Danzhou is our retreat route, and it is also our transit node, Danzhou is captured, and our army's back road will be cut off!" This is nothing, the last general's biggest concern is the supply of food and grass! ”

When Ye Hu Cheng heard Han Chang's words, he was shocked, and immediately ordered: "Han Chang, you immediately lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to aid Shunzhou, no matter what, don't let Yan Yun's army capture Shunzhou again!" Han Chang bowed down and went down. A moment later, an army of 50,000 was seen detached from the main army and headed north.

Ye Hu Cheng's eyes returned to Yanjing City, and seeing that his offensive had been repeatedly frustrated, an evil fire couldn't help but rise in his heart, and he ordered sharply: "Send more troops, strengthen the offensive, you must take Yanjing for me today!" ”

The war drums and horns of the Khitan army sounded more rapidly, and the Khitan army rushed towards the defense line of the Yanyun army like a tide. Yan Yun's army resisted desperately, but the enemy army had too many troops, and there were gaps in the city, and crises were constantly emerging, and the entire defense line was crumbling and precarious! The Yanyun soldiers sacrificed their lives one by one, not hesitating to die with the enemy, and the explosions that died together continued to sound, and from time to time desperate Yanyun soldiers jumped off the city with the enemy; However, the enemy army was also desperate, and the red-eyed Khitan army sacrificed their lives to attack, one wave of death, one wave of another, one after another, forgetting to die! The corpses of soldiers on both sides continued to fall from the top of the city, and the corpses of both sides of the gap and on both sides of the gap were getting thicker and thicker, and the blood had gathered into a stream, flowing under the base of the wall.

Gradually, Yan Yunjun's strength was in an absolute contrarian trend, and it was about to be unable to support it. At the critical time, Yang Peng and other fierce generals rushed into various critical places, fought bloody battles first, killed one step at a time, and killed the enemy's corpse to fly with blood. Yan Yun's morale was greatly boosted and he counterattacked fiercely, the Khitan army gradually fell apart, and the attacking troops were defeated and retreated. The noisy battlefield suddenly fell silent, and I saw a tragic atmosphere of corpses piling up and down the city.

The attacking units of the Khitan army retreated, and everyone was exhausted from the low morale of the battle. Today's offensive of the Khitan army can definitely be called a thunderous landslide tsunami, but all the Khitan army officers and soldiers can't believe that such a powerful attack still can't tear through the defense line of the Yanyun army! Yan Yunjun is like a fight of iron, and his will to fight is as strong as steel, all of them are like bloodthirsty beasts!

An injured Khitan army general said to Yeyu Hucheng with a panicked expression: "King, the rest of the Yanyun Army is just right, that Yang Peng is really terrible!" Just now, our army was almost able to break through the gap, but Yang Peng came, a person, a lance, really powerful, unstoppable, no one in our army could stop him, and in a blink of an eye, the army suffered heavy casualties, and the army's heart was shaken, and then he was defeated under the fierce counterattack of the other party! ”

Ye Hu Cheng was very annoyed, and shouted sharply: "If you don't kill Yang Peng, I swear not to be a man!" Turning his head and yelling, "Keep attacking!" Keep attacking me! The generals looked at each other, and Zheng Shilong said: "King, the spirit of our army has disappeared, and attacking again will only increase casualties, so it is better to withdraw and retire for the whole night, and fight again tomorrow!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng's eyes widened, and he said, "Our army is tired, and the enemy army is even more tired!" You can take this opportunity to break the city in one fell swoop! Execute the command! Seeing that Yelu Hucheng was full of voices, where did they dare to say anything more, they agreed in unison, and then went down to urge the soldiers under their command to prepare for another battle. When the Khitan soldiers saw that they were going to attack, they couldn't help but feel resistance in their hearts, but after all, these Khitan troops were well-trained elite divisions with a hundred battles, although they resisted in their hearts, they still carried out the order.

The Khitans' horns and war drums sounded, and the Khitan army rushed to Yanjing like a tide, and then the two sides fought again at the head of the city and at the gap. At this time, the morale of the Khitan army had been discharged, the fighting spirit had fallen, and although the attack was huge, it completely lost the sharp and fierce momentum of the previous one. After several rounds of attacks, no progress has been made, and looking at this situation, if we continue to fight, there will definitely be no progress.

After all, Yelu Tiger City is a generation of famous generals, and after a moment of anger, he has calmed down. Seeing that his army was not in good condition and could not break through the city, he ordered to retreat. The soldiers of the Khitan army, who were attacking, suddenly heard the sound of the horn behind them ordering them to stop the attack, and they couldn't help but stop the attack and retreat as if they had been amnestied.

Yelu Hucheng glanced at Yanjing City, which was still standing majestically, and ordered the army to retreat to the camp. The army of the Liao State slowly retreated, and the Yan Yun army held on for another day!

The soldiers of Yanyun seized the time to rest, while the people's army and the people quickly repaired the city wall, cleaned the battlefield, and rescued the wounded.

The Khitan army retreated to the camp, and soon after, news of the loss of Danzhou spread in the barracks. The soldiers of the Khitan army couldn't help but panic, and many people had the intention of retreating. When Yelang Hucheng realized that the news of the loss of Danzhou was spreading in the barracks, it was too late, and the news of the loss of Danju had already spread throughout the barracks.

Yelu Hucheng convened all the generals to discuss the matter, and the Han general Tong Dawei said: "King, our army's retreat has been cut off, the army's morale is turbulent, and it is no longer possible to continue to attack Yanjing." For the sake of today's plan, he can only temporarily give up capturing Yanjing, first recapture Danzhou, and then attack Yanjing. The generals chimed in.

Yelu Tiger City was a little unwilling, but at this moment, there was no other choice. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, turned his head to Tong Dawei and said, "You, lead your 30,000 soldiers and horses to stay in the camp to prevent the Yanyun army in the city from coming out to attack our army!" Tong Dawei bowed down and promised. Ye Yu Hucheng glanced at the other generals and said, "The rest of the generals, follow me back to the army, destroy the Yanyun Third Army and recapture Danzhou!" The generals agreed in unison.

When the officers and men of the Khitan Army of each battalion heard that Yeyu Hucheng had decided to return to the army to eliminate the Yanyun Third Army and recapture Danzhou, they couldn't help but cheer.

Tiger City stood in front of the map, looking at the map. There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and then the footsteps stopped, and a rough voice came: "Barron greets the king!" ”

Yelu Hucheng looked at the map and asked, "The 100,000 cavalry troops of Sali should have broken through into Hebei, right?" ”

Barron glanced at the map and said, "The plan is to lead the cavalry to take Hejian Mansion directly, and it should have been captured at this moment!" There are no defenders in Hejian Province! Tiger City nodded.

However, what the two did not expect was that at this moment, the 100,000 war cavalry led by Sa Liyu was still attacking Hejian Mansion, and after a few days, Hejian Mansion was solid under the auspices of Kou Yan, the envoy of Hebei Xuanwei, and the Jin army was never able to break through the city. In fact, there were no regular troops in Hejian Province, only the militia and government service and local security forces organized by Kou Yan after receiving the warning that the Khitan army had broken into the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, numbering more than 10,000 people, but under the command of Kou Yan, they managed to resist the onslaught of 100,000 Khitan army cavalry. The reason for such a result is not entirely due to Kou Yan's excellent official reputation and the support of the people, and his command is well-organized, but the more important reason is actually that the Khitan army is all cavalry, and it is going south at full speed, so it does not carry any siege equipment at all. In the past few days, the Khitan army has launched dozens of attacks, but they have all been repulsed, losing two or three thousand people!

On this day, Xiao Sali urged his cavalry to storm Hejian Mansion again, and the battle lasted from morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, and the Khitan soldiers crossed the moat with difficulty to attack the city's head; The defenders at the head of the city only shot arrows and threw stones and logs at the bottom of the city, and the Khitan army attacked for almost a day, suffering many casualties, but the result was the same as before, and no progress was made. Seeing this scene, Sali was so anxious that he just wanted to kill!

Suddenly, Xiao Sa Liyu seemed to hear a trace of thunder. Sa Li was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was clear, and there were a few clouds like white birds, but how could there be thunder? Sa Liyu thought he had heard it wrong, but at this moment, there was another thunder, louder than the thunder just now, and then the thunder continued continuously, and it felt like a thunderstorm was moving in this direction. When he looked at the western sky, he still saw only clear skies and white clouds, and there were no rain clouds at all. Sali's heart suddenly moved, he thought of a possibility, but then he smiled self-deprecatingly. He had just thought that this kind of thunderous sound, in addition to the thunderstorm, could also be the sound of the cavalry group galloping at full speed. However, there is no main force of Yan Yun around here, and Yan Yun is currently short of food, and it is impossible to transfer troops from other places.

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the west and shouted, "What's that?" When everyone heard the shouting, they subconsciously looked in the direction of his finger. I saw that on the grassy slope in the distance to the west, many war horses suddenly appeared. The officers and men of the Khitan army were stunned, and there was a humane: "It's our cavalry!" "Everybody thinks the same way.

The cavalry on the grassy slope suddenly started and galloped towards this side, and a loud rumbling sound came, which was clearer than just now, and it turned out that the thunderous sound just now was made by those cavalry when they galloped. At that time, the cavalry was still far away, so it was not clear to hear, like a faint thunder, but now that they were much closer, the rumbling sound was naturally much clearer.

Sali stared at the cavalry rushing with wide eyes, and saw that those war horses were extremely majestic, more than a full circle larger than the cavalry he was used to! Sali couldn't help but muttered in his heart. Suddenly, the opponent's battle flag was stirred up by the strong wind, and it was thrown from the other side, and the sun was shining on it. When Sa Li saw these two words, he couldn't help but be shocked, and exclaimed: "It's not good, it's Yan Yunjun!" Others were also shocked. Sali shouted urgently: "The right wing of the war cavalry immediately met the battle, and the rest of the war horses immediately retreated, ready to charge!" ”

The 100,000 Khitan cavalry immediately moved, and the 20,000 cavalry on the right flank immediately broke away from the brigade and went up towards the 10,000 Yanyun cavalry, while the rest of the Khitan cavalry quickly retreated, turned to the west, and prepared to charge.

The two warhorses galloped against each other on the field, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two warhorses was less than a hundred steps. The Khitan army cavalry fired arrows first, and the Yanyun cavalry raised their shields one after another, and the arrow rain fell, and dozens of Yanyun cavalry fell.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
