Chapter 704 Siege

Just before he received the news from the court of the Song Dynasty, he learned that the Yan army had killed 600,000 Song Guoerlang, and found that he had been tricked by the Yan State. With nowhere to vent his grief and anger, he immediately rushed to find Shang Jianxiong to ask for an explanation, but Shang Jianxiong didn't see him.

He had been dragged into negotiations before, but now he didn't even see him, and Tong Mo, who was in charge of the negotiations, was also the same. All the officials of Yan Kingdom avoided seeing him.

That being the case, he didn't even want courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame, so he cursed outside the palace gate.

There is no way to do this. As the envoy of the Song Dynasty, he failed to keep the 600,000 sons of the Song Dynasty under negotiation. It would be good if the insults outside the imperial palace spread throughout the world.

Since he was indignant at the death of 600,000 sons, he was out of manner and so contrived so that he could give an explanation to the country, not because he didn't try his best.

At first, the guards at the palace gate ignored him, and the people in charge of related affairs also hid behind and refused to show up. Unexpectedly, Qian Liansheng scolded endlessly, and the more he scolded, the worse it sounded. Finally, a team of guards were sent out from the palace to drive him away. .

However, Qian Liansheng persevered, and repeatedly ran back after being driven away, like a shrew cursing the street.

Seeing him like this, there was no other way, the guards in the palace had to arrest him, but they didn't do anything to him. It is a silent rule not to kill the envoy when the two countries are at war. Secondly, many officials could not dissuade him at this time. Let kill Song envoy.

The courtiers dissuaded selfishness, killed the envoys of the Song Dynasty, and worried about stronger retaliation after the city was broken.

And at the same time as the winning streak was seized, the sound of drums and horns outside the city began one after another, and the Song army began to attack the city!

The movement was so loud that even people in the palace could faintly hear it, and the concubines in the harem fell into panic.

Standing on the high steps, Shang Jianxiong was also sweating with his hands, and he was also in panic, wondering if the city could be held.

Meng Xuan, who was in charge of the palace, stood on the high pavilion and looked into the distance. Several large birds fell from the sky and landed in the palace. The three major factions were also making preparations to evacuate once the city was broken, so that important personnel could evacuate in time.

Outside the city, during the siege of the city, the Song army did not eat idle food. In order to put pressure on Yanjing, they had already cut down trees in the mountains and forests around the capital to make siege equipment.

The army launched an attack on the city gate carrying ladders like a tide, the sound of killing was loud, and the siege equipment pushed closer to the city wall at the same time.

Soon, the archers from both sides shot at each other with a rain of arrows, and the screams from both sides continued in an instant.

In this regard, the city defenders are at a disadvantage, because there is not enough space in the city to set up a large enough archer array.

The monks of the Song Dynasty took advantage of the situation and flew out, trying to fly up to the top of the city to open the way for the Song army. A group of monks from the Yan Kingdom flew out to intercept them. The men and horses didn't care about the threat posed by the monks fighting at all. Those who should fall fell, and those who were still standing only focused on hitting their own.

The ladder leaned against the city wall, and the soldiers of the Song Army desperately climbed to the top of the city. The soldiers on the city wall kept pushing away the ladder on the wall with their forks. When the ladder overturned, a group of people fell into the crowd below.

Siege crossbows The steel crossbows that slammed into the city walls became a good thing for siege soldiers to climb.

The burning hot oil was also splashed down the city, pouring out bursts of screams.

After the catapult approached the city, stones were thrown towards the head of the city one by one. The stones and arrows that crossed the city wall made the civilians who helped fight in the city let out screams. The scared people fled in panic and were ordered to kill some It was only after the people stabilized their ground.

The rocket on the top of the city was ignited and began to attack the siege equipment.

Under the city gate, a group of Song soldiers rushed forward pushing a huge log, and were about to smash open the city gate, but they were sprayed with kerosene.

When the offensive and defensive battles were in full swing, a group of monks from the Song Dynasty rushed to break through the city gate!

Swish! Ga Miaoshui, who was standing at the top of the city, took out the soft sword that was gleaming at his waist, and said sharply: "Little ones, follow me to kill!"

He was the first to jump down, with his cloak fluttering behind him like a goshawk flapping to the ground.

A group of eunuchs followed him with their swords and jumped off the top of the city, guarding in front of the city gate, fighting angrily with a group of Song Dynasty monks who rushed over!

Although they are all a group of eunuchs, their decisiveness cannot be underestimated, especially their combat power. The strength of this group of eunuchs and monks is very extraordinary. Near the city gate.

Following the order of the siege general, a group of monks retreated, and a group of archers stepped forward in coordination with the siege crossbow, intending to launch a devastating attack on Ga Miaoshui and others guarding in front of the city gate.

This action made Ga Miaoshui and others highly nervous.

Ga Miaoshui swung his cloak and slapped his palm into the flames. The giant log that was pushed against the door and was burned turned sideways, and a group of eunuchs lay behind the giant log.

At this moment, the sound of hooves sounded like thunder in the distance, and a mighty cavalry rushed like thunder.

"Yingyang Wuliewei!"

"It's Yingyang Wuliewei!"

"Yingyang Wuliewei is here!"

The defenders on the top of the city suddenly burst into cheers, and then the rear of the attacking Song army was completely messed up.

Ga Miaoshui climbed up from behind the burning flames and looked up, but still couldn't see clearly. He flung his cloak and flew onto the city wall. Looking ahead with the horizontal sword in his hand, he saw a large-scale cavalry led by a banner with the word "Shang" After rushing into the rear of the Song army, it swept across like a gust of wind, and immediately smashed the Song army's offensive formation into a mess.

The Song army's offensive was broken, and the commanding general immediately mobilized the attacking troops to resist the cavalry attacking from the rear, and those who rushed to the foot of the city wall and were unable to retreat in time were killed.

After the cavalry swept across for a while, they did not get entangled with the army here, and they came and went like the wind, and quickly left.

When they were far away, the cavalry lined up again, staring at the Song army, under the banner of the word "Shang", Shang Chaozong drove his horse forward, with his sword on his horse, and the horse neighing!

According to Meng Shanming's arrangement, Shang Chaozong was not allowed to participate in the battle to protect the capital, and only waited for Luo Zhao's army to retreat before attacking on the way, delaying and consuming the retreating force of the Song army, delaying its time, consuming its food and grass, for the sake of Subsequent preparations for solving Song Jun.

However, after receiving the news, Shang Dynasty Zong could not sit back and watch the Song army attack the capital of Yan State. For him, the royal family of Yan State, especially the son of King Ning, it was really impossible to sit back and watch the enemy army in the territory of Yan State So arrogant, we must teach some lessons!

His tactics are also very simple, if he doesn't fight the Song army, it's just harassment, and he won't let the Song army easily attack Yanjing!

After that, it was indeed the case. Once the Song army attacked the city, his cavalry came and went quickly, and chose the weak position of the Song army to launch the attack, making it impossible for the Song army to gather strength to attack the city.

At this time, the movement of the siege stopped, and cheers from the top of the city were heard.

"King Ning's Yingyang Wuliewei is here!"

The people in the city also erupted into cheers that gradually swept across the city. This attack by the Shang Dynasty Zong brought great confidence to the capital to defend the capital.

Hearing the movement in the city, Ga Miaoshui, who was wearing a blood-stained cloak, looked back, listened to a burst of cheers, and then looked back at the Nanzhou troops who were confronting the Song army in the distance, with an extremely complicated expression.

"The Nanzhou troops of Shang Dynasty Zong launched an attack on the Song army?"

Inside the palace, under the eaves, Shang Jianxiong who heard the news stood on the steps and asked in doubt.

Tian Yu who reported the report nodded and said: "Yes, the first attack of the Song army has been suppressed by the troops led by Shang Chaozong. Facing the attack of Nanzhou troops, the Song army no longer dare to act rashly!"

Hearing this, Shang Jianxiong's cheeks twitched and his expression was complicated.

Tong Mo, Shang Yongzhong and Gao Jiancheng who were standing by looked at each other.

Meng Xuanwen, who was standing on the high pavilion, said "Oh" after hearing the news. He seemed quite surprised, with a thoughtful expression on his face...

The Song Army's 500,000 horses, facing the Shang Dynasty Zong's 100,000 cavalry, did not dare to disperse their forces and act rashly.

However, after this procrastination, the huge threat that should come still came. At dawn the next day, most of the Song army led by Luo Zhao finally arrived.

The mighty 3 million troops gathered, their momentum and lineup, shouting in unison, made the defenders at the top of the city terrified!

Luo Zhao, with a white horse in silver armor and dressed in white, went outside the city to check the situation and listen to reports from the vanguard attacking troops.

After that, I went to the Nanzhou 100,000 cavalry facing the Song army to check. After seeing it, I had to admire: "The appearance of the Nanzhou army is really extraordinary, and it is not timid in the face of my three million army. It really is not the mob of the Yan State. Comparable!"

Having said that, with one hundred thousand horses facing an army of three million, its size is pitifully weak.

The vanguard general said: "Shang Dynasty Zong's 100,000 iron cavalry harassed behind the back, advanced and retreated quickly, it is really a headache!"

Luo Zhao turned around and ordered: "Order the army to take turns to rest, and order all the ministries to send troops to the nearby mountains to cut down trees and build siege equipment. After midnight, attack from all around Yanjing at the same time!" He has enough troops to do so.

The general wondered, "Siege the city in the dark?"

Luo Zhao: "When attacking the city, the people in the rear turned off the lights, and the Shang Dynasty Zong couldn't see the movement of our army clearly. He was afraid of traps, so he would not dare to act rashly."

The general suddenly realized.

Afterwards, the plan really worked. Shang Dynastyzong saw the vigorous fighting at the foot of the city, but he didn't know what happened to the Song soldiers behind the battlefield. He really didn't dare to attack again, because the opponent's troops were too large.

In the evening, Tong Mo left the palace and went back to Da Sikong Mansion. The butler Tong Ming greeted him at the door and whispered beside him: "Mr. Yan is here, wait for the master in the study."

Tong Mo's eyes lit up, and he immediately quickened his pace.

Once in the study room, I saw a bright and attractive woman leaning halfway on a chair, flipping through a book with her fingers in her hands, sandalwood incense wafting from her side, her gorgeous clothes set off her enchanting charm, her brows and eyes were a bit cold and stern.

The so-called 'Mr. Yan' refers to this woman, this woman is none other than Yan Baoru who ranks second in the alchemy list after Qingkong, Ximen of Tianwei Mansion, who is ranked second in the alchemy list!

As soon as Tong Mo saw it, he immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute, "Mr. Yan, I finally expected you to come."

Yan Baoru looked up, put down the scroll, stood up with a slight smile, nodded and said: "Tongxiang."
