Chapter 295 Dead and Injured

The eager sound of horns and the sound of drums seem to urge the soldiers to speed up their pace and strive towards Shuozhou. Countless siege soldiers lined up into a long dragon and divided into teams. They held the ladders to attack the city and climbed in their hands. These ladders were divided into two sections and adopted a folding structure, connected by a rotating shaft in the middle. At this time, the ladder absorbed the improvement experience of the ladder in the Tang Dynasty, designed the bottom of the ladder as a shielded model on all sides, and reinforced the outside with raw cowhide. When the cart in the shed approached the enemy wall, it could effectively resist the damage of the enemy stone.

In the siege at this time, the main prerequisite for winning is to build a ladder to climb the city. The key is to be bold, fast, and enter the city without any hesitation. Once the ladder of the siege force cannot be built, the troops cannot climb the head of the city to fight with the enemy at the head of the city, so it is difficult to obtain the conditions to win the opening of the city.

Of course, in order to attack the city, it is not necessarily necessary to go to the city and open the gate from the inside, because in many cases, the other party sticks to it and can't occupy the head of the city for a while, the gate will not be opened. At this time, you can destroy the wall or gate with the help of a rushing car to attack the city. In addition, there are strong crossbows and long weapons in the rushing car, and with its own height, it can directly attack the defenders at the head of the city, and the offensive power is very strong.

Of course, whether it is a ladder or a car rushing to the gate, the premise is that these siege instruments can approach the city and reach the bottom of the city. To this end, Pan Mei specially prepared dozens of catapults. At this time, the catapults have reached the peak level. They not only have a long range and high accuracy, but also are easy to operate, which can well assist the siege troops to approach the city wall.

But not only Song Jun has such equipment. Pan Mei's army has just rushed to the city of Shuozhou. Suddenly, countless sharp ten pieces of sharp stones hit the people fiercely. Everyone looked up and found that ten stone-throwing cars had been arranged at the city of the Liaoning army! These catapults kept throwing sharp stones at the Song army under the operation of the Liao people. For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma.

Suddenly, three rushing cars driving forward suddenly stopped, and the soldiers on the upper level of the rushing car immediately shouted, "Hey, aren't the people below you full? Why don't you even have this strength? Didn't you see those stones? If we get hit, how..."

While talking, dozens of stones swarmed like a dark cloud, directly smashing the rushing car into pieces. Before the soldier could speak, he had confirmed his words and died under the fast stone.

Not only the rush here, but also most of the soldiers running down the city with ladders were tripped to the ground. They looked down and found that they found different trenches near them. These people immediately scolded angrily, "Why did no one explore the way and let us come to attack the city? Isn't this killing us? !"

For a while, waves of flying stones fell like dark clouds on the top of the city of Shuozhou, and the archers scattered all over the city made bursts of arrow rain in the sky. Countless howls, angry howls, and sad sounds of disappointment sounded on this land in an instant.

Because Pan Mei made a heavy promise to the Pan army earlier, the first soldier to reach the head of the city was awarded thousands of households and a reward of thousands of yuan. Under this reward **, there is another army that does not want to be an advance force, but there is another unit that knows to test the reality of the enemy and see if there is a secret road on the ground?

Just because no one paid attention to the land outside the city, no one knew about the trap here. Twenty-s of the soldiers were nailed and it was difficult to move. Ten cars suddenly stopped when they rushed to the middle, because they were scolded by the upper soldiers, and the soldiers below only They could push forward, but the car did not push it, but pushed it down directly. At this time, they suddenly found a slight fishy smell on the ground, a little sticky **. They had not figured out what these were. Suddenly, the cold arrow rain just now suddenly turned into a small fireball and fell from the sky, and it was still ice. The cold battlefield suddenly ignited huge waves!

"Oil! There is oil on the ground! Run away!" A soldier was covered with fire. He wanted to roll on the ground to extinguish the fire, but at the moment he fell to the ground, he never stood up again. The crazy flames had already ravaged his whole body. He was no longer strong and could only shout hoarsely and cry helplessly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Pan Mei immediately ordered the cataps to drive in and wanted to cover everyone's retreat, but these catapies had just put Shuozhou into the range. All the cataps at the top of the city suddenly turned and threw sharp boulders at Pan Mei's cataps. In just a moment, seven catapies were smashed. In desperation, the catapling car had no choice but to retreat. Pan Mei looked at how many people in her army were close to the city, but she had lost more than 3,000 people, and according to this situation, she was afraid that 10,000 people in it would be swallowed up by the Liao people!

Sure enough, just as Pan Mei was secretly worried, the gate of Shuozhou City opened, and thousands of Liao iron horses rushed out and carried out a crazy slaughter towards the Song army, which was almost powerless to fight back. Those soldiers who were either burned or stabbed looked at these expressionless cavalry desperately, and then, Close their eyes forever.

At the top of the city, Zhao Xizan looked at the war situation in front of him with satisfaction and smiled at Yelu and said, "Master Yelu is really clever. The Song people fought a big victory, and they will definitely believe that I am no one in Liao. I can only let them**. Before the war, there was no scout to spy on the situation and attack like this. I really don't know. How did the generals of the other side command?

Yelü Fenghuo shook his head and said, "That's because my army has been showing weakness and has no defense on their march. Even if they are shouting and fighting outside the city, we will not avoid it. I just want them to be proud and arrogant. Otherwise, all the measures and means I have done in this city will cover up, isn't it? Is it all in vain?"

Zhao Xizan nodded and said, "A few days ago, when I heard that Huanzhou had fallen, I was a little worried that my Shuozhou would have the same fate. Moreover, Mr. Yelu also said that one of the Song army was brave and good at fighting and intelligent. Today, it seems that's all. It's not enough to be chased like a dog by our army."

At this time, Yelu's beacon's look suddenly changed and said coldly, "Uncle Zhao, what is attacking at this time is only the siege force. The general is from the field army. If I hadn't given you advice again, you would have been torn to pieces by him when you went out of the city to fight! I just want to fight the city war, a big reason is that our field troops can't beat them at all! Uncle Zhao, you have heard of the prestige of the Heiyan cavalry under my father in the past. Although they are from Song, they are not bad. In terms of the strength of individual soldiers, each of them is above the centurion of our army. You must have heard of it. What do you say, if you encounter such an army, how will you fight?

"Young Master Yelü, do you mean that the Black Yan cavalry may be in this Song army?" Zhao Xizan looked at Yelu's beacon with an unbelievable face, and a trace of worry and panic flashed in his eyes.

Yelü Fenghuo shook his head slowly and said, "Uncle Zhao, I can tell you with certainty that it is not possible, but certain! Look, what will happen when you send the iron horse you sent to harvest Song Jun? I have just reminded you that if you want to harvest Song Jun, first of all, you must be prepared to be harvested by Song Jun!"

Although Zhao Xizan nodded, he has been on the battlefield for a long time and naturally will not worry that the troops he brought will be harvested. After all, this is the team he brought out by himself. He knows better than anyone how powerful they are. Therefore, although he superficially agrees with Yelu Fenghuo's statement, after all, he is the son of his former commander. But in fact, I don't think so.

"It's coming!" The eyes of Yelu Beacon lit up, which made Zhao Xizan a little strange. The battle was so good. Almost when he harvested the Song army, he did not see Yelu Beacon look like this. At that time, Yelu Beacon seemed to be used to all this in front of him and didn't care at all, but at the end of the month, there were more than a thousand people in a team of black armor. After the cavalry appeared, his eyes changed instantly, as if a hunter had seen his long-awaited prey. At this moment, Yelu's face was full of aggressiveness, as if he did not stop him, and he had to rush into the battlefield to fight with this army.

Zhao Xizan took a closer look and found that there was no difference between these soldiers at night. They were nothing more than the heavier armor, and the horses sitting down were better. They could support a person with heavy armor under their own burdens. In addition, only the dark armor was dazzling. He shook his head with a smile and looked disdainfully: How can such a team be the opponent of my own soldiers?

But to his surprise, one led by the cavalry took the brunt. When he saw the commander of the Liao army, the commander of the cavalry, he not only did not slow down, but rushed up more bravely. Zhao Xizan knew that the thousand commander's force was good. As soon as the two armies met, the other's leader began to look for the most With the difficult bones, he couldn't help shaking his head with some regret: I wanted to see how capable he was and could convince such a capable person as Yelu, but now it seems that he is obviously going to die.

The commander was harvesting vigorously. Although he was surprised by the sudden rush of a cavalry force, he didn't care at all after finding that the other party was only more than a thousand people. At this time, a man suddenly rushed to him. He was worried that there was no opponent to relieve his boredom these days. In the army, his strength could even fight. Zhao Xizan, so no one dared to challenge him. He didn't think much and rushed directly to the man, but before the big axe in his hand waved, a horse had deeply pierced his heart and stabbed out of his back. He only felt a sharp pain and fell off his horse and never stood up again.
