Khitan barracks

Yerod had just woken up and saw a man standing in front of the bed, and then said softly, "Is the matter done?"

"All is done, Your Majesty can rest assured that you will attack the city. ”

"Well, the soldiers are fast, and they will attack the city immediately. ”

Yelu Deguang gave an order, and the Khitan horn sounded again. This time everyone moved, the soldiers escorted the siege ladder forward, a group of men and horses with shields on their hands, forming a shield, straight to the city gate, they could be seen escorting a huge log, they wanted to break through the city gate.

With a wave of Fu Yanqing's right hand, all the archers opened fire, and the rain of arrows fell one after another, taking the lives of countless Khitan soldiers in the first round. But the brave Khitan soldiers immediately caught up with the pace of their predecessors, where there was a leak to fill in, no longer care what kind of soldier they were, the siege ladder here is going to fall, immediately go to help, there are injured people immediately fill the position.

A large wave of Khitan soldiers died generously in this way, piling up corpses and moving forward. No matter how fast the archers are, they are not as fast as this wave of hungry wolf-like sprints, and no matter how high the accuracy is, they are not as good as every shot. Moreover, there was also the cover of the opposing archers, and it didn't take long for the Khitan soldiers to rush to the city.

Carry the siege ladder hard, there is a buckle in front of the siege ladder, tightly buckle the battlements on the city wall, and the short knife soldiers and pikemen are climbing up as long as they are Khitans.

The short swordsmen on the walls were already ready, and they must not be allowed to stand still, and it is better to cut them down on the siege ladder. But the next white-knuckle battle couldn't be avoided.

Although Fu Yanqing was concerned about the situation here, the Khitan soldiers climbed up one by one, and finally climbed to the city wall and were besieged by a group of people, as long as time did not stalemate, there was no danger on the city wall. Now Fu Yanqing is concerned about the rushing car of the siege, if the city gate is damaged by the rushing car, the Khitan army can drive straight in.

"Falling rocks, pouring asphalt. ”

The people standing at the top of the city wall frantically threw stones down, and they didn't care if they could hold it or not, they threw down whatever they could, and they even didn't know how to throw the corpses of their companions to guard the gates.

The car was slammed into the city gate by dozens of people raising their heads, and the outer layer was full of people holding shields in both hands to protect them. A shield is good against bows and arrows, but it is not very useful against stones falling from a height. Even if the shield blocks the stone, the huge impact will be unbearable, and sometimes even the arm will be directly broken.

As soon as the shield fell slightly, or even exposed a gap, countless feathered arrows would immediately shoot through the gap, and the entire team would immediately collapse half an hour.

But no matter how powerful the tactics were, they couldn't stand the crowd, a group of people fell, and the people around them immediately threw down their weapons, some picked up their shields, some picked up the rushing car, and kept rushing towards the city gate. Feathered arrows have spread all over the battlefield, growing like weeds from the ground near the rushing cart.

After the city gate, some people moved wood, some people moved stones, and some even used their bodies against the city gate, and the Khitans must not be allowed to knock the city gate open.

Buckets of asphalt poured down, hot asphalt trickling down the gaps between the shields, and even dripping with flames on the men holding the chariots, and the battlefield was so chaotic that no one could hear their heart-rending screams.

Fu Yanqing guarded well, but there were too many Khitans. No matter how many people fall, someone immediately fills the position, as if a crushing and constantly moving forward, there is no way to stop it.

On the city wall, there are more and more Khitan soldiers, and if this continues, there is no need to break through the city gate, and these more and more Khitan soldiers alone can wipe out the entire Cangzhou.

Fu Yanqing shouted: "Light the wolf smoke." ”

"Light the wolf smoke~~!"

"Light the wolf smoke~~!"

The order kept going down, and the last soldier waited for the moment with a torch in hand, and as long as the wolf smoke was lit, there would be a good show. After receiving the order, the soldier sent the torch in his hand into the wolf smoke, and immediately a black smoke appeared in the sky, which was very conspicuous in the daytime.

The offensive of the Khitan soldiers was immediately suspended, and many people noticed this wolf smoke, although they didn't know what this wolf smoke was for, but they knew very well that this must be Fu Yanqing's backhand.

After returning to the Red God, all the Khitan soldiers continued to pursue frantically, with more and more numbers, and the offensive became stronger and stronger, and the slowly battlements were almost impossible to hold.

I don't know how long it took, Fu Yanqing began to get anxious, because the Khitan offensive was getting stronger and stronger, but the most critical thing on the side did not appear.

"Where's the water, where is my water?" Fu Yanqing stared at the people around him, and no one knew what was going on. Originally, there was a river passing through Cangzhou Beicheng, Fu Yanqing ordered people to forcibly cast a sluice to intercept the river water, to other places, but the old estuary is still there, as long as this sluice is opened, the flood will pour down, and then the other party will not say 300,000 troops, even if a million troops will be drowned in the river.

The wolf smoke is the signal, there is an army guard at the gate, as long as they see the wolf smoke of their house, and the signal in the wolf smoke is correct, they will open the gate and flood the Khitan.

Fu Yanqing didn't even use this trick, but there is no problem in theory, and there is no need for too precise theory, as long as the water is released, the momentum of the water flow will definitely scatter the Khitan army, and in that case, the wall will be defended. But why didn't the water come Fu Yanqing's head was already sweating, so many years of preparation were just to prevent the Khitan army from pressing the border, but I didn't expect that the most critical step at such a fatal time went wrong, and I knew that I should send more people to guard the estuary.

No one needs to report it, there must be something wrong with the estuary. Fu Yanqing had long known that Cangzhou couldn't hold it at all, and before that, he was too confident in Cangzhou's five-form formation, and he really didn't expect Yelu Deguang to come so early. The soldiers are fast, Yelu Deguang took a surprise shot, and he really couldn't imagine that the five-shaped formation would be cracked by him, which would lead to a big defeat.

Fu Yanqing said: "Tell me to go down, open the south gate, and all the soldiers will fight to the death, delay time and let the people flee first." I took a team of soldiers to escort my family to Xinzhou to find my second brother. I want to accompany Cangzhou to live and die together. ”

"King Wei, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. ”

"Needless to say, this is my failure, I can only delay as much time as possible to make Master Zongxin's plan look more realistic. This shameless monk, he deliberately said this, just to make the plan more realistic, the old man concluded that he had long known that Yelu Deguang would wave his army south before spring ploughing, and the reason why he told us this was to let Yelu Deguang see the appearance that we were still preparing, so that it looked more real, and let Yelu Deguang relax his vigilance. ”

Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, didn't know whether to hate or admire, Zong Xin's plan had already trapped Yelu Deguang, but he was afraid that he would not dare to enter Cangzhou. However, his approach was so hateful that in order to make the whole plan seem more realistic, he actually took his own life.

Although he doesn't have to die in Cangzhou, for the sake of Zongxin's plan, it's best for him to stick to it, otherwise it will make Yelu Deguang suspicious. If Yelu Deguang was worried that he would be cut off, he would defend Cangzhou after capturing Cangzhou, and slowly encroach on the Central Plains forces step by step, which may take many more years, but it can allow him to sit firmly.

Master Zongxin's plan is tight, and Fu Yanqing doesn't know if it makes sense to do this. However, Fu Yanqing knows very well that if he escapes, it may have a little impact. At this point, the monk's plan must not be affected in the slightest, and the Khitan army must be stabilized.

Fu Yanqing insisted on holding on to Cangzhou City with men and horses for seven days, but there was a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, there were originally 50,000 soldiers in Cangzhou, of which 20,000 fled, 30,000 died in battle, and finally only a few dozen people were left around Fu Yanqing, who were sleepy and tired, and all were captured.

The Khitan army rushed into Cangzhou and immediately organized a defensive offensive, and Yelu Deguang directly ordered someone to bring Fu Yanqing to his side.

At this time, Yelu Deguang sat firmly on the high platform, Yeluhong and Yeluzhen were guarding by his side, Fu Yanqing looked embarrassed, had many injuries on his body, and was pressed by the soldiers to kneel on the ground.

Yelu Deguang admired: "What a tough guy, my 300,000 army attacked Cangzhou and killed 50,000 people, but these 50,000 people are my soldiers, and you are the culprit who killed them, do you know what happened to you?"

"Hahahaha~~" Fu Yanqing smiled: "The real culprit is you, not me." If you don't let them fight, both sides will enjoy peace and no one will die. This king is only for self-preservation, you are polite at risk, right? Khitan dog, I tell you, Cangzhou is useless in the small city, you use 50,000 soldiers in exchange for a useless land, I'm afraid it's a big loss. ”

"Oh~?

Fu Yanqing said: "Now there is only one broken city left in Cangzhou, and whoever leads the troops to attack will definitely win." Although the sixteen states of Youyun in the north are now your Khitan land, they are mainly our Central Plains forces, and the Song and Zhao valves are active in the sixteen states of Youyun all the year round. This king has been guarding for seven days, and the news should have reached everyone's ears, and now we are gathering troops in the Central Plains, and they will immediately send troops to Cangzhou, and I don't know how you will die by then. ”

Yelu Deguang shook his head and said: "No, they will not come to support Cangzhou, but gather troops to prepare to attack Kaifeng, right?" Master Zongxin's plan is unknown to no one in the world, but you must not have thought that I would send troops before the spring ploughing, see that you are also a tough guy, if you can surrender, the widow will save you from death. ”

"Don't come with me to this set, I'd rather die than surrender, give me a good time. ”

"Fulfill him. ”

Yelu Deguang gave an order, and someone immediately dragged Fu Yanqing down and opened a knife to behead.

"Wait. Yelu Zhen said: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to kill Fu Yanqing, torture him first, and let him write out the layout of the five-shaped array in detail." We have not broken Cangzhou for decades, all because of Fu Yanqing's five-shaped formation, although we have broken the formation, but if we also use this formation, it can help us stick to Cangzhou and develop steadily. ”

Yelu Deguang nodded and said: "According to what King Shenwu said, Fu Yanqing will be temporarily pressed into the class room, and he must be properly examined, and he must be allowed to tell all the secrets of the five-shaped array diagram." ”

"Your Majesty is wise. ”
