"Song Jun is here!"

The defeated army rushed into Fanyang City. The guard Xiao Yeduo looked at them in shock, and then called for the generals.

"Shen An is here, Shen An is here!"

General Liao shouted and panicked as soon as he came up.

Xiao Yeduo slapped him awake and asked: "Where is he?"

"He's coming after me."

General Liao pointed forward, looking panicked.

"Why were you defeated?" Xiao Yeduo said angrily: "The Song army is pressing down on the border. Do you dare to stop it with more than 10,000 men? Why don't you retreat?"

In his opinion, this is mostly the result of showing off one's strength.

The Liao general choked up and said, "I didn't stop you. No, I blocked only the Wansheng Army of the Song Dynasty, only 8,000 people."

"Then why did you fail?"

Xiao Yeduo looked at the smoke and dust appearing in front of him, waved his hands, and someone shouted: "Be alert, prepare to defend the city!"

The city was boiling.

General Liao said: "At that time, a certain person stopped Wan Sheng's army, thinking of defeating the enemy's spirit. But I didn't expect that Shen An would quietly outflank him from both sides. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been annihilated."

"Huh?" Xiao Yeduo said in disbelief: "You didn't send scouts on both sides? You idiot!"

Choking!

He drew his long knife and prepared to chop.

General Liao knelt on the ground and howled, "We sent him, but Shen An was too shady. I don't know what method he used to intercept and kill a certain scout sent out."

Xiao Yeduo imagined: While the Liao army was triumphantly intercepting the Song army's Wan Sheng army, the Song army on both sides had quietly approached.

It’s really insidious!

"The Song Army is here."

Groups of Song Army cavalry rushed over.

"alert!"

Xiao Yeduo was looking at the Song troops, "What do they want to do?"

Those Song troops were getting faster and faster, as if they were going to attack the city with cavalry.

"They're coming!"

"Bow and arrow!"

Rows of archers appeared on the top of the city, with their bows and arrows pointed downwards.

"Stop!"

General Song ordered his men to stop, but he himself rode forward.

"Shoot him!"

Xiao Yeduo said happily: "Killing General Song is a great achievement."

The Liao general beside him lamented: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment before he remembered what he meant.

——Shen An is here, do we still want to receive credit?

Just waiting to die!

He turned his head and hit the Liao general with a slap, and then said: "There is no shortage of food and arrows in the city. I can hold on for half a year. When the Song people were defeated and retreated in Youzhou, I took the opportunity to lead the attack." , that is a great achievement.”

General Song has already rushed over, and he is also drawing his bow and arrows.

"Fire the arrow!"

Arrows rained down from the city head.

In this rain of arrows, the arrow fired by General Song accurately hit an archer's throat, and then he rode back.

A rain of arrows fell behind him, and the Liao army on top of the city was surprised.

"Who is General Song?"

Xiao Yeduo felt that such archery skills were really amazing.

"Zhe Ke is OK!"

"Zhejiazi?" Xiao Yeduo sneered: "Shen An hasn't come yet, and I want to fight with him to see what the so-called famous general is like."

"He's coming." General Liao pointed forward and said, "Look at that big flag!"

Under the banner, Shen An continued to issue instructions.

"Send rangers to Liangxiang to scout out and drive away enemy scouts. If you encounter a large group of enemy troops, you can report them in time without having to fight forcefully."

The ranger set off, and Zhe Katsuyuki came with people to greet him.

"Set up camp immediately."

Shen An led people to the front.

"Fanyang City!"

Shen An pointed to the top of the city and said: "Shen's title is Fan Yang. Last time I reviewed his troops here, the enemy troops at the top of the city were silent. Today I am here again. You can ask the Liao people."

As soon as he rode out, he shouted in Liao dialect: "Shen Longtu, the Duke of Fanyang County in the Song Dynasty, is here and asks you if you are willing to surrender!"

Duke Fanyang came to attack Fanyang City. This is very interesting.

But the Liao troops at the head of the city all looked fearful.

"Fire the arrow!"

The sparse arrows drove away the Song army.

The Song army immediately set up camp.

The smoke rises, and the sunset is particularly beautiful.

Xiao Yeduo frowned and looked at the Song Army's camp, "Shen An is so fast with his troops, why is it so slow this time?"

General Liao said: "This is an army of more than 100,000 people!"

Soldiers are expensive and fast, so you have to talk about the scale. With more than 100,000 people, how fast can you show me?

Unless they are all cavalry, how can the cavalry attack the city?

Xiao Yeduo thought about it and turned around and said: "Let the soldiers have a good meal tonight to boost their morale."

Then the smoke also rose in the city, and then the Liao army came to the top of the city carrying bowls, holding large pieces of mutton and shouting.

"What a piece of wool!"

Shen An's meal was very simple, just flatbread and a bowl of soup.

The soup is a chowder with dried vegetables and bacon added to it, and it tastes good.

"How to attack?"

Supervisor Yang Du came with a map.

This guy was a little eager to perform meritorious service. Seeing that Shen An was only focused on eating, he expressed his opinion, "We should just use artillery to open the city gate, and then cover up and get in."

"It's blocked behind the city gate."

Shen An took a sip of the soup, bit into a piece of bacon, and quickly took a bite of the flatbread to suppress the salty taste.

These beasts who make bacon simply soak the meat in salt water. Even after making the soup, it is still so salty that you want to spit it out.

"Uh... is that a night attack?"

Yang Du raised his head and said, "We sent soldiers to touch it at night..."

Shen An slowly looked sideways at him, and Yang Du subconsciously stood up straight.

"bad idea!"

Shen An dropped these words and left. Yang Du said dissatisfied: "Is this a bad idea? Isn't it possible to attack at night? Remember, he did a night attack in the last Northwest War! It was also regarded as a classic by the Central Government."

Xuchang said: "Supervisor, the enemy did not know that Shen Longtu was coming."

Yang Du's dream of becoming a famous general was shattered instantly.

"How to fight?"

He looked at the city head and pondered for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Shen An summoned the generals to discuss matters, and Yang was present.

"Someone asked me why I wasn't surprised. I would like to say something here."

Shen An said: "This Northern Expedition is not only to regain the land of Youyan, but also to bring out the spirit of the Song Dynasty and break the morale of the enemy. This is the end of a century of grudges and an exchange between the overlords of this land. Fight. In this battle, the Song Dynasty will fight with dignity, with head held high and chest high, with blood boiling!"

Yang Du looked at the generals who were in high spirits for a moment, and then he knew Shen An's plan.

The previous outflanking was just to gain the upper hand. Facing the alert enemy troops, Shen An was determined to use a strong attack to show the Song Dynasty's confidence.

"After the Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty will be the overlord!" Shen An stood up, "Attack the city!"

The generals handed over their hands and said, "We will take the order!"

Someone rushed out and shouted: "Shen Longtu has an order...attack the city!"

It was a seemingly ordinary morning, with mist floating on the ground.

"Woo..."

Amidst the sound of horns, Song troops walked into the fog one by one. The fog was disturbed and slowly rose.

"The Song army is preparing to attack the city!"

On the top of the city, Xiao Yeduo said in a deep voice: "Has the golden juice been boiled?"

The general next to him said: "From last night to this morning, it has been boiled and sticky."

"add water."

"yes."

There was a large pot on the top of the city, and the sticky stuff inside was bubbling and steaming.

This is golden juice, which is an old soup made from human feces, various dirty things, and even poisons.

Before this kind of poison, it won't help if you are covered in heavy armor.

And the most important thing is that this kind of poison is difficult to treat. If the wound becomes infected, the consequences will make you doubt your life.

The archers at the top of the city are in place, the spearmen are in place, the sword and shield soldiers are in place...

Xiao Yeduo said confidently: "I want Shen An to hate Fan Yang!"

"Artillery forward!"

Shi Shen stood in front, followed by dozens of artillery pieces.

The soldiers pulled forward and backward, struggling to push the artillery forward.

He glanced at the city head and said, "Ten more steps forward!"

The Liao army also discovered those artillery pieces, and Xiao Yeduo asked, "What are these?"

General Liao shook his head, "I didn't see him yesterday."

"Weird, be careful." Xiao Yeduo leaned out and looked at the cannon with a frown, "Is it one that breathes fire?"

Just behind the artillery, Shen An put down the telescope and said to She Shen: "This is for the future of Liao."

Sacrifice and nod, then measure and adjust the distance.

Yang Du asked: "Shen Long Tu, what does this mean?"

"Shoot the man first, shoot the horse..."

"Fusheng Infinite Heavenly Lord...light the fire!"

Boom boom boom boom!

Dozens of artillery pieces all fired in one direction.

The distance of more than a hundred steps was reached in an instant.

General Liao was looking at the artillery when he heard a thunderclap, then smoke spewed out of the muzzle, and dozens of black dots flew over.

"what is that?"

He asked with a smile.

Then he saw that those black spots were all directed at him.

Bang!

In an instant, the city was filled with dust and debris.

Because there was a city tower behind where they were standing, there was a crackling sound next.

How miserable!

Xiao Yeduo was the first to squat down, so he was intact.

He slowly stood up and looked at the crumbling tower behind him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's this?"

The cannon's brutal blow completely blindsided him.

He slowly turned around and found that the defeated general was gone.

"Where's Li Xiangwen?"

There were corpses everywhere at the scene, and those who were directly hit by iron bullets could not be seen.

"here!"

Someone found the corpse of the defeated general based on his armor, but where was his head?

Red and white splatters were everywhere on the sides of the corpse.

vomit!

Some people knelt down and vomited wildly, while others were stunned.

"The Song Army is here."

The huge crossbow array began to move forward.

"Shout!"

Shen An stood with his hands behind his hands, as leisurely as if he were on an outing.

A sergeant with a loud voice shouted: "Are you willing to surrender?"

There was silence at the top of the city, and Xiao Yeduo shouted: "No surrender!"

"Interesting." Shen An said, "I want to take a look at this person after taking down Fanyang City."

The crossbow formation began.

Shen An looked back and saw an endless array of crossbows waiting for orders.

"Fire arrows..."

Bang bang bang bang...

The sound of triggering the crossbow was like a downpour falling on the earth, followed by huge dark clouds rising into the sky.

"what is that?"

This is a crossbow array that has never been seen before.

It is also a dark cloud that has never been seen before.

The clouds began to lower and then settled.

"Siege the city!"

The city head was looted by crossbows, UU read www. uukanshu.net When the Liao people woke up, they found that the city was covered with corpses.

"Quick! Reinforcements!"

Xiao Yeduo was hit by an arrow in the shoulder. He turned around and shouted: "Call someone quickly."

The reserve team waiting under the city also fell down, and the ground was covered with crossbow arrows, like a newly harvested rice field.

despair!

"Is this from Song Dynasty?"

Someone was yelling, "I can't stop it, I'm defeated!"

A wave of blows is tens of thousands of crossbow arrows. Are the people of Song Dynasty so rich? Who can stop this?

"Crossbow arrows... let go!"

The infantry carried the ladder and charged, and the crossbow array behind them fired again.

The huge crossbow array composed of tens of thousands of crossbow arrows left Fanyang City, which was not large, with nowhere to hide.

Yang was dumbfounded.

"It's so spectacular! It's so spectacular!"

He turned sideways and said excitedly: "Shen Longtu, I only know now that you intend to attack by force. This is to scare the people of Liao."
