PS: (Today I continue to thank the book friend "The Group is Round" for the reward!My work "Dragon Undefeated" released a new chapter "Chapter 271 Peaceful Chaos and the Assassination of the People (1) Breaking the City [2nd More Votes]", http:///Book/3058817.aspx)

"I can't imagine that after so many days of continuous bombardment, the fighting power of the defenders is still so strong. Yelu Chongyuan is a true general, and he is really a good opponent!" Facing the battle situation in front of him, Dongfang Undefeated secretly admired.

The battle between the two sides, which lasted from morning to noon, was fierce and terrifying: the hedgehogs of the attacked gates were gathered with countless arrows, the feathers of the arrows swaying in the cold wind, and the river below the city was stained red with blood, and the corpses of the soldiers of the imperial camp were floating on it.

When the Liao Emperor was defeated, Dongfang Undefeated changed his strategy and transferred manpower from the soldiers who attacked Dongcheng District to attack Nancheng District.

The soldiers used a large wooden house, covered with cowhides, and a huge wheel under it, and the foot soldiers pushed it to prevent artillery and arrows, and filled the trench with soil, and the river in the southern part of the city dried up, and the imperial camp army stacked bridges under it as a passage to approach the city wall.

The general of the defending army, Yeluhru, commanded the soldiers who dared to die, arranged cannons and crossbows in the city, and attacked the Liao Imperial Army, and tied a false shed on the city to shoot the enemy by himself.

The rebel soldiers formed a sea of people and shot at the enemy, and the arrows rained down, making it difficult for the imperial battalion to advance on the bridge.

The Liao Emperor's army did not give up, building fire ladders, cloud ladders, partial bridges, poles, goose carts, and caves to attack the city, and poured into Shangjing from the other two sides.

In the north, the king of the north courtyard commanded his subordinates to attack the north city gate with goose carts and caves.

Goose carts. As the name suggests, its shape is like a goose, and the neck of the goose car can grow dozens of feet tall. The lower wheel, the goose body is heavy, and the goose neck on the edge of the car climbs the city.

The cave was a chariot shaped like a wooden house with large wheels underneath, and it was covered with cowhide and arrow-proof stones to get close to the moat.

In the west, Yu Yue took over the wounded privy envoy of the Northern Court and dispatched troops. Shoot the defenders on the city wall with a nine-ox crossbow, and one arrow can penetrate three people, after a few rounds of volleys. More than half of the defenders on the west tower were already dead and wounded.

In this way, the battle to attack and defend Shangjing lasted for more than half a month, and both the rebels and the imperial camp army were close to exhaustion.

But for the defenders. The situation was even more difficult: there were less than 100,000 soldiers available in the city. After a series of battles, the sergeants were killed and wounded, and the number of soldiers was seriously reduced, and there were only 30,000 old and weak soldiers left.

At noon that day, a roaring north wind blew, followed by heavy rain.

There were already very few soldiers defending the city, and now they were drenched in soup. And I can't see things in the distance.

If you don't attack the city now, when will you wait?

The East is undefeated and gives orders to his subordinates. He immediately led a large army to storm the east gate of Linhuang Mansion.

In this surprise attack in the rain, the soldiers of the imperial camp did not push large siege equipment, but went into battle lightly one by one, at most a few people carried a few poles.

By the time the defenders discovered the enemy's traces, Dongfang Undefeated and his soldiers were already very close to the city gate, and the arrows flying down from the city lost their accuracy and strength due to the blows of the raindrops, and they were completely out of reach of the Liao Emperor's soldiers.

Dongfang was undefeated and came to the city first, transporting his internal force, and his fingers instantly condensed an inch-long qi sword, as if giving birth to sharp claws.

I saw her five fingers into claws, swinging out vigorously, inserting into the city wall, and then she was agile, climbing forward on the city wall with the help of the power of the air claws, using her hands and feet at the same time, and unfolding the "Ling Bo micro step" on the city wall, dodging the feather arrows and boulders that were shot at her.

After a while, Dongfang was undefeated and climbed up the tower, and when the defenders saw it, they were shocked and hurriedly stabbed with spears.

In the face of the enemy attack, the condensed qi sword in Dongfang's undefeated hand immediately shot out, killing the surrounding rebel soldiers.

"How" "How" "How" "Boom" Split a member of the enemy general blocking the entrance of the building, followed by the two swords of the soldiers around him, and killed a bloody road.

Ran down the stairs and entered the passage of the city gate, and saw that it was full of soldiers defending the city, desperately resisting the back of the city gate to resist the impact of the army outside the city.

After Dongfang Undefeated appeared, regardless of their consternation, he flew up, and with the swing of his two swords, he split the deadbolt.

At this time, the army outside the city was pushing the door hard, and as soon as the bolt of the door was broken, the city gate was immediately opened, and the soldiers of the imperial camp army poured in like a tide, and under the undefeated leadership of the east, they rushed towards the inner city where Yelu Chongyuan was located.

To say that this inner city is the hometown of Linhuangfu City in Shangjing, which was originally called "Weidian".

After Yelu Abaoji chose this place as his political center, he built the "Longmei Palace", which is usually called the "West Building".

According to historical records, since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the site of Liaoshangjing has been the main residence of the Khitan Diera.

In the first year of Tang Tianfu, Yelu Abaoji became the leader of the Diera Division, and won successive victories in foreign conquests.

In the third year of Tianfu, he was promoted to the king of Yuyue, the chief of Khitan military affairs, and Abaoji's leadership position was consolidated.

At this time, the "West Building" had become one of the decision-making centers of the Khitan tribal alliance.

After Abaoji became the emperor, he began to build the palace temple in the "West Building", and successively built the Ming Wang Tower, Tianxiong Temple and the Kaihuang Palace.

According to the record of "Liao History, the First Book of Taizu", Taizu said that the emperor had been in October in the second winter of the second year, and built the Ming King Tower.

In the sixth year, Taizu "fought for Liangye with soldiers, and returned to the West Building with 50 people including monk Chongwen, and built Tianxiong Temple to live in it, in order to show that God helped Xiongwu." Unfortunately, in March of the seventh year, the rebellious Rage, Shensugu and others ransacked the "West Building" and burned the Ming Wanglou.

Taizu quickly quelled the rebellion, and in August of that year, he returned to the "Longmei Palace" to deal with the rebels.

In the following year, "Jiazishuo in winter and October, the imperial palace was built at the foundation of the Ming King's building. ”

According to the record of "The First Taizu of the History of Liao", in February of the third year of the Divine Book, Abaoji began to build a large-scale "Imperial Capital of the City" in the selected capital site "West Building".

In May, "Confucius Temple, Buddhist Temple, and Taoist Temple were built". At this time, the West Building was called the "Imperial Capital", and the capital began to take shape, and initially established its status as the political center of the country. This can be regarded as the beginning of the construction of the capital city.

In the first year of Tianxian, Abaoji led his troops to destroy the Bohai Kingdom, which greatly increased the strength of the Khitan State, and then began to build the capital on a large scale in a planned manner.

In fact, the construction of Shangjing was mainly carried out after the succession of Taizong Yelu Deguang in the second year of Tianxian. In June of the first year of the Liao Dynasty, Taizong "edicted the construction of the sun and the moon four o'clock hall, and the picture of the ancient emperors was written in the two houses", so far the capital was basically completed.

After tens of thousands of Liao Imperial soldiers broke into the outer city of Shangjing, they encountered only sporadic resistance on the streets, because the strength of the defenders was insufficient, and most of the soldiers were either stationed on top of the city tower or at its feet, and there were not many soldiers in the city.

Dongfang Undefeated dispatched three teams of men and horses, and went to the north, west, and south gates to join forces with the army outside the city to break through the city gate together, while he led the remaining subordinates to take the Donghua Gate of the palace city, and soon killed at the foot of the inner city.
