Chapter 239: Defending the City

"Who is under the city?" shouted the soldiers defending the city, and Chaoping said, "I am the horse, open the city gate quickly." At this time, the soldiers didn't know whether it was true or not, it happened that the Youyun soldiers came over with Feiyan, and when they heard someone shouting in the city, several people hurriedly went up to the city, and looked down, sure enough, it was Chaoping, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to let him go, and the officer naturally listened to Feiyan and knew that she was a popular person around the emperor.

Chao Ping rode into the city, and went directly to the emperor's palace, and when he arrived in the palace, His Majesty the emperor ordered someone to prepare wine and food to entertain Chao Ping, knowing that he was running all the way.

He told Cao Xinyang about the deployment of the entire Liao army, Cao Xinyang was bent on how to defend the city, and the Liao army on their side did not attack, but was surrounded by groups, and they did not know when they would attack.

Chaoping said: "Brother Cao, I think they will attack tonight." Cao Xinyang said: "Oh, why is this?" Chaoping said: "I came all the way to see that their soldiers, horses, grain and grass had just settled down, in fact, they didn't want to besiege us, because they were afraid of uncertainties, so they were more anxious than us, so I concluded that tonight, tomorrow night at the latest, they would attack." Cao Xinyang said: "Oh, it makes sense, but don't be afraid, I have arranged the soldiers and horses, and I will soon be able to put into combat posts." Chaoping was talking to the emperor about the Liao army with Cao Xinyang, but what they didn't know was that the army of Wanli was about to face the danger of rout.

Wanli led the generals to resist desperately, but the Liao army oppressed too fiercely, they were less than three hundred miles away from Hanshui Pass, the Liao army had surrounded Hanshui Pass, Cao Xinyang could not receive the news of Wanli, Wanli had been resisting in retreat and did not have time to give him a book of flying pigeons.

"General, we really can't resist, and now we have lost half of our troops. Wan Li said: "We have injured a lot of people, but they are not much better, keep it for me, if we lose this place, we will be sinners for the ages." The adjutant general said: "General, if our soldiers are all exhausted, and Your Majesty has no soldiers to use at that time, this is the most important thing, it is better for us to withdraw to Hanshui Pass, tear a hole, and join General Cao to resist the enemy army together." Wan Li said: "Hold here first." While fighting, Wanli's head was echoing what the deputy general said, it was already dark, and their troops were already exhausted, but they were still fighting against the Liao army, Wanli knew that he would not be able to resist for long, and after listening to the words of the Fu general, he planned to withdraw the soldiers and horses to Hanshui Pass.

In this way, the troops of 10,000 miles fought and retreated, and evacuated to Hanshui Pass. In the middle of the night, the sound of horses' hooves outside the Hanshui Pass shook the sky,

"The Liao army has attacked the city, and the Liao army has attacked the city. The soldiers in the city are shouting, and all the soldiers and horses in the sweat pass are ready to defend the city, so the generals are all in the city.

Chaoping and Youyun soldiers came to the city wall to see the movements of the Liao army, Cao Xinyang is also here, Cao Xinyang ordered here, let the soldiers at each city gate defend the outer city, and there are also many soldiers and horses in the outer city, and the bundles of arrows have already been prepared, Chaoping looked at it and said: "Boss, let's go down." When he got to the bottom, the Youyun soldier asked Chaoping and said, "Master, can we go out and kill the enemy." Chaoping said: "This enemy can't attack in, how can you kill the enemy, you can't shoot them on the city wall will not have much effect, let's go back to sleep." Youyun soldiers didn't expect Chaoping to be so calm, Chaoping said: "What are you worried about, you have also seen Brother Cao's methods, if you lead troops to attack the city, will you attack it?" The boss said: "I really can't attack for a while, but if I continue to defend like this, sooner or later the city will be broken." Chaoping said: "Yes, we have to find a way to get out these days, think more about how to hold and consume the enemy's edge." The Youyun soldiers didn't say anything, and when they saw that Chaoping had arrived at their residence, they gave up their hands and retreated, they knew that Chaoping had been tired for many days.

After the soldiers left, their eighteen brothers still arrived at the gate of the city, where they helped the soldiers with their weapons.

The Liao army attacked the city wall with a stone-throwing vehicle, and used a ladder to attack the city, Cao Xinyang had already ordered someone to prepare a cloth bag and firewood, and the firewood fell on the cloth bag, practiced into a long piece, and then poured fire oil on it, threw down the city to cover the enemy soldiers on those ladders, and the entire ladder burned by the torch will fall apart, so the soldiers came to block the water to cover the earth, and fought all night, Cao Xinyang took the soldiers to defend the city, and the Liao army saw that the siege was fruitless and ordered Mingjin to collect the troops.

When I got up in the morning, Chaoping was sitting in the courtyard, and Feiyan also came over and said, "Big brother, we are guarding." Chaoping said lukewarmly, I know.

Feiyan said: "Big brother, you slept all night, how do you know." Chaoping said: "Brother Cao's defense they can't attack, the city wall is so solid, Brother Cao ordered people to continue to build, and attack them with fire, and dug a ditch under the city wall to send heavy troops to guard, even if they dig tunnels, they can't get by." Feiyan said: "Haha, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't care about the city defense, you have just arrived in a day's work, and you have a clear understanding of the situation in the city, if you are a spy, you must be a good spy." Chaoping said, "You girl, where did you go yesterday." Feiyan said: "I have been by the emperor's uncle's side recently, for his safety, I have been protecting him," Chaoping said: "It's okay, anything can happen at this time, you can protect the emperor every step of the way." Feiyan continued: "Big brother, let me tell you one thing, do you remember that we met a group of mysterious men in black before coming to the border gate, and I met them again before. Chaoping carefully inquired about the specific situation and said: "Alas, I don't know where they came from, but now they can't make any big waves at the border, and I'm worried about my family." Feiyan said: "Big brother, you don't have to worry about this, the two sisters-in-law in this family are protected by Baguio and Chen Jing, and these two little cubs are clever." Chaoping said: "After we break through, we must ask your eldest brother to check the details of those men in black." Feiyan said: "Yes, alliance leader, you have a good rest, I will retreat." After saying that, Feiyan left, Chaoping shook his head, thinking that this girl was naughty and serious day by day, and there was really nothing she could do.

Chao Ping thought that now that the enemy army had withdrawn, everyone couldn't sit still like this, they had to think about the way back, thinking of this, he got up and went to find the Youyun soldiers.
