Chen Ao saw from a distance that the rear of the Liao army began to move. Some, like the previous teams, rushed over with climbing ropes. Others carried ladders and rushed down the city. Another team, facing the crashing city wood, kept approaching the city.

At the beginning of the general attack, Chen Ao looked at the Song soldiers who were slightly in a hurry at the head of the city, and his heart became more and more anxious. He drew his long sword sharply, took a big stride, and shouted as he went: "The Liao army is coming! Everyone must hold on!"

Zhao Ling and Long Qingping hurriedly followed. Chen Ao looked back at his team of bodyguards and said loudly: "You don't have to protect me, follow along to defend the city! If the city is broken, no one will survive!"

Feng Hu and the others hurriedly joined the team defending the city. Although these Jianghu characters have not been trained in the army, it is still enough to move stones. Long Qingping picked up a bow and arrow, tried it casually, then bent the bow and drew the arrow, and the first arrow hit a thousand-commander who rushed over.

Chen Ao was overjoyed and couldn't help but encourage. Long Qingping was very proud, she didn't care about protecting Chen Ao, so she took a pot of arrows and shot at the Liao army who looked like a general. I shot a few people in a row, and they were all centurion and above. The momentum of the Liao army was suddenly discouraged, and the Song army cheered loudly.

Guo Wenhui followed behind Chen Ao and couldn't help but boast: "The so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, and under General Chen, there are really many talents!"

Chen Ao couldn't help but sneer: "General Guo, it's time for you, don't play tricks, hurry up and organize Minzhuang to help defend the city!"

When Guo Wenhui heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He didn't want to stay in such a dangerous place as the city head for a long time, who knew when an arrow would come over? Guo Wenhui hurriedly ran downstairs and began to beckon Minzhuang to carry the materials for defending the city.

Jizhou City was originally an important town, whether it was armor or stored grain, it was enough to last for a long time. It's just that the military situation has not been very urgent in the past two years, and Jizhou's armament has slackened. At this time, Guo Wenhui ordered someone to open the large warehouse and began to move stacks of feather arrows to the city.

Chen Ao gradually entered the state, running back and forth at the head of the city, commanding the defense of the city. The Liao army continued to invest manpower, and nearly 10,000 people were already attacking the city. It's just that the besieging side has a natural disadvantage, and even if the number is several times that of the defenders, it may not be able to please it.

The general attack lasted for two hours, and a hurried horn sounded in the Liao army. I saw that the Liao army besieging the city retreated like a tide, leaving only hundreds or thousands of corpses, lying on the ground horizontally, miserable.

Chen Ao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and his hand holding the sword trembled slightly. He was not physically tired, but mentally tired. Zhao Ling gently supported him and whispered, "This day has finally passed!"

Chen Ao nodded and muttered, "Today has passed, what about tomorrow......"

At this moment, Guo Wenhui appeared at the head of the city again, and smiled excitedly: "General Chen, the Khitans are retreating!"

Chen Ao didn't have the strength to pay attention to him, but only waved his hand symbolically. Guo Wenhui said again: "I really don't know how the Khitans suddenly came to attack our Jizhou, I'm really impatient!"

Chen Ao knew that the Liao army had previously besieged the two cities of Dingzhou and Hejian but did not fight because he had calculated that the Song army could not reinforce and did not want to waste his strength. But yesterday an encounter made the Liao army realize that Song reinforcements had arrived. If they don't want to give up the results they have already achieved, they must block the Song army south of Jizhou!

Maybe that's why Xiao Tzu Rin didn't hesitate and immediately organized an army to start attacking the city. Chen Ao sighed and instructed his subordinates to remain vigilant and treat the wounded. He took Zhao Ling and his people and went down to the city. A few people walked around the city first, and found that except for the two large stones thrown by the trebuchet of the Liao army and smashed down a few houses, there was not much loss.

The civil and military officials in Jizhou have been on standby, and various evacuation measures have been carried out in a timely manner, so the people in the city seem to be very calm. Maybe it's because although the Liao army's attack today is huge, it didn't use all its strength. Chen Ao faintly felt that today's Liao army was more like a temptation, testing their determination to defend the city.

Returned to the property and had a quick bite to eat. Chen Ao asked Zhao Ling for some tips on defending the city. During this period of time, the news of the horse exploration kept coming. The Liao army led by Xiao Tzu Rin camped a hundred miles away from the northern city, and from a distance, there were about 30,000 or 40,000 people. As for the other sides, there are not so many of them.

Today, the Liao army's main attack is also Beicheng, and several other places are only feints, so Chen Ao is not surprised by this information. The Liao army may just want them to retreat, escape from the other gates, and obediently abandon Jizhou City.

Thinking about this, Chen Ao couldn't help but sneer, and made up his mind in his heart, this time he really couldn't let this group of Khitans underestimate him. Even if Lao Tzu can't beat him, he has to bite off a piece of his flesh!

The next day, the Liao army continued to attack the city. The trebuchet, which was destroyed yesterday, was dismantled by the Liao army and assembled into four or five. The Liao army seemed to have only a few trebuchets, and this time they didn't dare to push too close, so as not to be hit by the bed crossbow at the head of the city. At such a distance, it is impossible to throw stones. But the Liao army has a more vicious method. They put the poisonous weed bales mixed with wolf dung, lime, and arsenic on the trebuchet, lit a fire, and threw it at the head of the city.

These things were ignited by the fire, and smoke suddenly rose. Moreover, the smoke was extremely poisonous, and the defenders at the head of the city were suddenly choked and coughed, and they couldn't even open their eyes. Quite a few fires were thrown into the city, setting fire to the thatched huts, so that the people of the city also panicked.

The Liao army took advantage of this opportunity to approach again. The ram and the ladder rushed forward. Groups of Khitan soldiers were like ants, shouting and gathering under the city.

Chen Ao hurriedly asked people to prepare wet towels, cover their mouths and noses, and shoot arrows and stones downward to block the Liao army's attack. It's just that he screamed loudly and burst into tears, which was really funny.

On this day, the Liao army's attack was obviously much more fierce than yesterday. But the forbidden army was also very tenacious. Chen Ao has been guarding the city, invisibly inspiring the morale of the defenders. Especially the soldiers in Jizhou City, the first time they saw a general who could really take the lead, it immediately made their blood boil, and changed their depressed appearance yesterday.

After a day of fighting, both sides paid a tragic price. The Song soldiers were killed and injured by poisonous smoke and cold arrows, and there were three or four hundred people. And the Liao army suffered even more casualties. Standing at the head of the city, you can see a layer of Khitan corpses piled up under the city. From a distance, it looks like a bunch of crawlers. Life is like a mustard, Chen Ao finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Zhao Ling and Long Qingping, two girls, also suffered a lot with Chen Ao. Seeing their smoky and blackened faces, Chen Ao was very moved and wanted to say something to thank him, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was completely dumb and he couldn't speak at all. After resting at night and pouring a few bowls of cold water, it was slightly relieved.

After another night, as soon as the sky was bright, Chen Ao got up early and led people to the city tower. At this time of these two days, the Liao army will begin to attack the city. As the commander-in-chief, Chen Ao must command on the spot and keep abreast of the dynamics of the battlefield at any time.

Who knew that as soon as I climbed the city tower today, I didn't see any trace of the Liao army. The clearing outside the northern city was empty, and there was no one left.

Chen Ao couldn't help frowning, and wondered, "What's the matter?"
