Zhongjingcheng.

Yelu Hongji gave up the spring safari, but was waiting for news to deal with the Song Army's Northern Expedition.

He spent the whole day discussing matters with a group of civil and military officials in the palace. After a long time, he looked quite haggard.

"...the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty was huge, but as long as Daliao held on to Youzhou City, Mr. Xiao's reinforcements would be waiting around for opportunities. Your Majesty, it is not impossible to reenact the Battle of Gaoliang River that year."

"If we can defeat Shen'an, Your Majesty, please lead the army south." The King of Nanyuan came out and said: "The Song people have become more and more powerful since the implementation of the New Deal. Daliao will seize the opportunity to pursue the victory. As long as they attack Hebei Road, the Song people will definitely be in trouble. There will be disputes, and those who oppose the New Deal will come out and roar, they are powerful in numbers, and when the time comes... I feel that another Chanyuan Alliance will be just a waste of time."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Yelu Hongji shook his head and said: "I don't want any alliance with Chanyuan. This battle must continue. The target is the Hebei Road of the Song Dynasty. If we capture the Hebei Road, Bianliang is right in front of us. Will the Song Dynasty move the capital or surrender? If so, If we move the capital, we can only abandon the north, and then we will become a wild dog, a wild dog that I can beat at any time!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

The atmosphere gradually became lively.

After the discussion ended later, Yelu Hongji went to the back.

The harem with the gentle sound of the piano is very pleasant.

There are young grasses on the ground, and the young leaves on the occasionally seen short flowering trees tremble slightly in the spring breeze.

This is a vibrant spring.

Yelu Hongji squatted down and looked at a young grass carefully.

He gently caressed the tender grass, as if he were caressing his beloved woman.

"His Majesty!"

The sound of rapid footsteps and a deliberately lowered voice came from behind.

bad news!

Yelu Hongji instantly judged whether the news was good or bad. He stretched out his hand to hold down the tender grass, stood up and said: "There are weeds in the palace, clean them up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The chambermaids who followed him hurriedly looked for the person, and soon a group of chamberlains and maids began to clean up the young grass.

The sound of the piano stopped, and Xiao Guanyin came out and saw everyone digging at the tender grass, and couldn't help but sigh.

She leaned against the door and murmured: "This is bad news."

After arriving at the front, all the civil and military officials who had dispersed earlier were there.

"Your Majesty." The messenger knelt down and lowered his head and said: "Three days ago, Mr. Xiao led an army to attack Shen An's headquarters..."

Yelu Hongji squinted his eyes and thought of the fire and the Song Dynasty man named Cao Xueqin.

"Our army encountered 70,000 men from Shen An's command at the Gaoliang River. Both sides formed formations and our army attacked twice, from early morning to almost noon."

This kind of battle consumes the strength of men and horses, and it also consumes morale and will.

"Repulsed?" Yelu Hongji sneered: "Before Xiao Yanxiong went out, I asked him to be careful. What did he do?"

That idiot!

The messenger looked up and burst into tears.

There's something wrong with this!

Yelu Hongji suddenly sat up straight and asked: "Why did you lose?"

The messenger choked up and said: "Shen An personally led 10,000 cavalry to launch a counterattack. Our army was exhausted and morale was low, so Xianggong Xiao led the army to retreat..."

"That's right!" Whoever was in charge would only make this judgment.

"But Shen An..." the messenger said: "He actually had ambushes on both sides. When our army was in chaos, Shen An ordered people to beat drums as a signal, and the ambush soldiers on both sides came out, and then surrounded our army... "

Yelu Hongji took a deep breath, raised his head and closed his eyes, his body trembling.

"The Song army pursued them all the way, but our army finally gathered up the troops, leaving only more than 10,000 people."

Yelu Hongji leaned heavily on the back of his chair, a wave of anxiety rising directly from his lower abdomen to his chest.

There was a strange sound coming from his nostrils, his face flushed, he grasped the cushion tightly with both hands, then pulled the cushion out and threw it down with all his strength.

The seat cushion floated in the air for a moment and fell weakly halfway.

"Xiao Yanxiong! Xiao Yanxiong, how dare he..." Yelu Hongji leaned back on the chair, pointed his right hand forward, and cursed: "How dare he destroy my army! How dare he..."

The emperor's roar echoed in the palace, and an aura of frustration quickly enveloped Zhongjing City.

"Go! Send reinforcements!"

Yelu Hongji's order was a little confusing, but he was reminded immediately.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that Xijin Mansion has fallen at this moment. Wherever the reinforcements go, they will face a fortified city. The Song Army's ability to defend the city..."

With the existence of firearms and the assistance of divine crossbows, attacking the cities of the Song Dynasty would pay a huge price.

"Go and find out the news, be careful!"

Yelu Hongji's weak order was passed on.

Immediately afterwards, he sent people to the grassland.

"Go and tell those tribes, whether they are blocking divination or fighting enemies, tell them that if they don't want to kneel down and surrender to the Song people, and don't want to call their emperor Tiankhan, then join my army and defeat the Song people together! "

Then came the reckoning.

Xiao Yanxiong's family was captured and turned from a wealthy family into slaves.

Yelvxiu's family escaped temporarily.

"The Song people had an army of 120,000 people. Shen An brought at least 100,000 troops with him, but he didn't even notice. If he had been smarter, he would have left the city with the entire army and attacked all the way. The Song people would be defeated in this way!"

Yelu Hongji really wanted to kill Yelu Xiu’s family.

But the words of a minister left him speechless.

"Your Majesty, when Shen An sneaked into the Xijin Mansion, burned down the imperial city, and left a message saying he was here, the guys in the Xijin Mansion were a little ready to make a move, so I'm afraid Yeluxiu didn't dare Use all your strength to get out of the city, otherwise you are worried that if you go out with your front foot, the Han'ers in the city with your back foot will rise up..."

"Shen An!" Yelu Hongji smashed everything in front of him.

But the ministers looked at each other outside.

"Then Shen An did this on purpose, was it intentional?"

"What do you think?"

"The Han'er in the city is tempted. During the Northern Expedition of the Song Army, there were equivalent to five thousand Song spies in Xijin Mansion."

"Then Shen An has good tricks! Yelu Xiu is far behind."

"Fu Bi doesn't have to worry, I'm just worried about Shen An... I'm worried that the Xijin Mansion won't last ten days in his hands!"

…

"boom!"

The artillery roared, and the iron bullets penetrated through the smashed city gate, sweeping all the way.

The Liao army did not block all the city gates, because to do so would be to admit that there would be no chance of counterattack.

When reinforcements come, the defenders must leave the city in time and attack the Song army from both front and rear.

This was one of the factors that led to the victory in the Battle of Gaoliang River.

Therefore, no matter how cautious Yelvxiu was, he gritted his teeth and left two city gates unblocked.

Yelvxiu made a mistake again.

He judged that Shen An would be impatient to attack Youzhou City, but Shen An was only destroying the city wall with artillery.

Below the city, the crossbowmen were looking up at the target.

Once they discovered that someone was there, there would be as few as seven or eight people, and as many as hundreds of people would take action together, covering the target with crossbows.

What's this fight for?

"Song people are so rich!"

Yelvxiu envied the Song people's luxury, but his current focus was behind the city gate.

He stood on the side and watched as an iron bullet rushed in, beating the head of a Liao soldier who just wanted to see what was going on outside the door to a pulp.

Brains and blood splattered everywhere, but no one cared.

In the battle formation, blood is the most meaningless thing, and all sacrifices are just for victory.

"Wan Sheng!"

Cheers came from outside the city.

Yelvxiu trotted up to the top of the city.

"The wall of Tongtianmen collapsed!"

Xie Bin's panic at this moment looked like a child's helplessness.

Yelvxiu looked along his hand and saw that a section of the city wall on the left had collapsed. This section...

A fatal passage!

"The Song army has been hitting the Tongtianmen section with iron barrels."

"Why?" Yelu Xiu's eyeballs were big and he looked fierce.

Xie Bin said: "Our conclusion is... when Shen An entered Youzhou City, he discovered the weakness of the city wall in the Tongtianmen area."

"Boom boom boom boom!"

While they were talking, the Song people's artillery fired again, and the area around Tongtianmen was shaking.

"It's dangerous there too!"

Sherbin's voice sounded like a woman's scream.

Yelvxiu was looking at that place.

"Mend it! Let me mend it!"

He cursed: "Even if we all die, we still have to make up for it!"

The Liao army set off carrying sacks.

"Fire the arrow!"

Crossbow arrows covered them, and the Liao soldiers fell on the way screaming.

"Go up again!"

Yelu Xiu looked at his subordinates dying with an expressionless expression.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The walls are shaking.

"Ms. sir!"

Xie Bin said in a trembling voice: "If the Song Army has this kind of thing, there will no longer be a strong city in the world."

Under the continuous attack of artillery, Youzhou City, known as the heroic city, could not withstand it.

"repair!"

Yelvxiu dropped these words coldly and prepared to go back.

He needs to rest for a while.

Just when he walked down the city, there was a sound that shook the earth.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

What's this?

He looked back.

The Liao troops on top of the city were all looking outside.

"The Song army is attacking the city!"

Tens of thousands of infantry began to line up and leave the camp.

"It's called work-rest."

Shen An said calmly: "Brothers have fought a battle with the reinforcements. It is good to continue attacking the city without taking a rest, but it will damage morale."

Fu Bi nodded, "It was my master who failed to do anything back then and was eventually defeated by the Liao army."

"Prepare……"

Shen Ance immediately stepped forward.

"I've seen Shen Longtu."

Wang Zhenchao was covered in armor and looked full of energy.

Shen An glanced at the infantry and said, "Once you launch an attack, it must be like a wave. Don't stop and don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!"

"As you command!"

Wang Zhen nodded, turned around and shouted: "Brothers!"

"exist!"

tens of thousands of people chanted in unison.

"attack!"

"Crossbowmen come forward!"

The crossbowmen began to move forward.

"Cannon forward!"

The artillery advanced some distance again.

"Trebuchet forward!"

The trebuchet was very cumbersome, but under the human sea tactic, it was still easily brought up.

Kerosene bombs and gunpowder cans were put in pockets, and someone was waiting for orders with crude incense.

As for why there are no torches... there are firearms piled around. Once the torch accidentally ignites something, everyone will be sent to the sky in an instant.

Everyone is looking at Shen An.

He nodded slightly.

"attack!"

"Fire the arrow!"

Countless crossbow arrows rushed to the top of the city.

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

Amidst the explosion, the iron bullet hit the city wall.

Gunpowder cans exploded in the crowd, and kerosene bombs caused fires that were difficult to extinguish at the top of the city.

Youzhou City...is burning!

"Why don't you cheer up the soldiers?"

Fu Bi looked at it with excitement and suddenly thought of this problem.

"This is Youzhou, a place that the Song Dynasty has been worrying about for hundreds of years. There is no need to cheer up to attack Youzhou!"

Just like the football derby in later generations, the players on both sides do not need to be cheered up. The head coach is only worried that the players are too excited and need to cool down the atmosphere.

There were explosive spots everywhere on the city head, and the crossbows were densely covered with arrows. The Liao troops who rushed up for reinforcements suffered heavy casualties.

When they reached the top of the city with difficulty, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Song Jun came.

In their sight, the city was full of people at this moment.

Densely packed people.

"Fire the arrow!"

As long as the arrows from the top of the city fall, they will never miss.

But in the face of the Song Army's massive offensive, all this was just a wave in the sea.

The infantry who were waiting for orders were not idle either.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The shouts were like thunder, breathtaking.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Amid the powerful drumbeats, ladders were erected on top of the city, and the Song army began to attack the city.

…

Good night!
