Cao Can hid behind the horse wall and swallowed hard as he looked at the several stone bullets that grew in size from far to near in the sky.

The stone bullets passed over the city tower with a whistling sound and landed in the city. The wall of a half-built house inside suddenly collapsed.

Cao Can wiped the cold sweat off his head and exclaimed that he was lucky.

"Chen Qiao, Chen Qiao!" he shouted loudly.

"Shout a ghost!" On the other side, Chen Qiao ran over covered in dust.

"See, if your trebuchet can't smash those things outside, we'll have to walk around with nothing to eat." Cao Can pointed to the three trebuchets in the distance, "Our city wall,

But if you can't stand him for a few times, the city wall will collapse, and the two thousand brothers in the city will be finished!"

"I see, didn't you see me adjusting the machine? Don't worry, those crude things made by the Liao people out there can't be hit." Chen Qiao disagreed.

"A blind cat can still hit a dead mouse!" Cao Can said angrily: "What if, what if! The manager said, don't take any chances in a war!"

"I know, I'll be fine soon!" Chen Qiao ran away again.

This is Zhongshoujiang City, a military fortress built by Xiao Ding in the north of Heishan. However, the fortress is still far from completion and can only be regarded as a semi-finished product. It is crumbling under the attack of the Cheng Liao people.

In fact, the main force of the Liao people was not the main force of the Liao people who attacked the city. The main force of the Liao people, led by Yeluhuan, the governor of Xijing Road, had already passed the city of Zhongshou and fought all the way to Heishan.

Xiao Ding, the general manager of the Song Dynasty's western march, rebelled against the Song Dynasty and fought with the Song Dynasty court on the Shaanxi Road. All the main forces went to the south of Hengshan. How could Yeluhuan miss this great opportunity? Before Yelujun's letter arrived, he

He was already ready to send troops. He had been coveting the fertile pasture under the Black Mountain for a long time. If he had better luck and could grab a piece of land in the Hetao, it would be even more beautiful.

Counting the logistics and young people, how could the nearly 100,000-strong army waste their time in front of the small Zhongshou surrender city? Thousands of infantry were left behind to besiege the small city. The main force had already left early.

Amidst Cao Can's nervousness and worry, the voice he was expecting finally came from the city, and several stone bullets flew out from the city, heading straight for the big opponents below the city.

With a loud bang, one of the enemy's trebuchets was smashed into pieces.

Cao Can looked up to the sky and laughed happily. It was not until an arrow shot past his scalp and hit the tower with a clang that he shrunk his neck and hid behind the stack of dishes again.

"God's arm bow, shoot him like a fool!" Cao Can yelled.

Above the city, a shower of arrows immediately flew up.

The bows and arrows of the Song people have always been much more powerful than the crossbows of the Liao people. Within a few dozen steps, the arrows shot by the divine arm bow can penetrate even iron armor. As the arrows flew out, a sound came from the city.

There were bursts of screams.

Cao Can was worried about those big guys, but he was not afraid of the Liao people attacking the city.

As long as the city does not collapse, the opponent cannot climb up.

Of course, if the city collapses and the two sides fight at close range, Cao Can also knows that the disparity in strength is too great and he will definitely not be able to win. The Liao soldiers are also quite fierce.

But Cao Can was very excited.

He lived for nearly thirty years, and one-third of his time was spent fighting against the Liao people. From Hebei Road, he fought all the way to this vast and vast place. Not even fifty Liao people died in his hands.

Twenty or thirty.

The two sides are considered mortal enemies.

Seeing that another trebuchet was smashed under the city, Cao Can was even more elated. It is not easy to build this thing. With the poor construction technology of the Liao people, whether they can save one is a big question.

In these days, isn’t it true that I am the only one who is responsible for ruining them?

The desolate sound of horns came from the distance, and the densely packed enemy troops retreated back like a tide.

The soldiers on the city cheered and shouted loudly. Some even jumped onto the stack of dishes bravely, unbuttoned their pants, and peed on the retreating enemies. The sound of yelling and cursing could not be heard.

"How about it, my craftsmanship is not bad, right?" Chen Qiao looked proudly, watching the enemy in the distance dragging back the only remaining trebuchet.

"It's not bad!" Cao Can said with a smile: "But Chen Qiao, you are still too soft-hearted. I said that I would kill all those fortune-telling people, but you refused and let them go. Did you see it today?

Those bastards will attack us when they turn around!"

Cao Can was talking about the last time the Beizubu tribe was defeated and captured. At that time, nearly 20,000 people were captured. Some of them were taken back and rewarded to meritorious soldiers as slaves. Basically, these people were

Some women and underage children, as well as those who were young and strong, were left to build the city here in Zhongshoujiang City.

The Zhongshoujiang City that rose from scratch was not big, but it was soaked in the blood of these fortune-tellers. The Western Army who oversaw the work had no sympathy for them. How could Zhongshoujiang City be like this?

In addition to the large number of craftsmen brought by Chen Qiao, the divination people who worked hard also played an important role in quickly building the outer shell.

Before Yelu Huan led the army to kill, Cao Can was planning to kill all the remaining fortune tellers. In the current war, he could not keep these fortune tellers in the city. Once chaos broke out, it would be a disaster.

But Chen Qiao couldn't do it.

Unlike Cao Can, whose hands were stained with blood, Chen Qiao, as the leader of the Minzhuang in the past and now the general manager of the construction of the Western Army, was too ruthless to kill so many unarmed guys at once. With his persistence, Cao Can

All these people can only be expelled from the city.

As a result, Cao Can saw today that those who were the pioneers in attacking the city were the same guys who had surrendered the city while it was under construction not long ago.

"Compassion can't lead an army!" Cao Can said to Chen Qiao with a deep heart.

"I'm not a general!" Chen Qiao shook his head: "If you do it again, I still can't do it."

Cao Can said flatly and stopped entangled in this matter. Now the two of them have to work together in the same boat. Chen Qiao is an expert in construction, which will be of great help in defending the city.

"Brother Can, Yeluhuan can bring a hundred thousand troops with him this time. Our garrison in Montenegro may not be able to withstand it. What will we do if they are lost there?" Chen Qiao was worried.

typical.

Blackwater City is not a solid city. It can only be regarded as a small town where various tribes trade. The people who rule here are the Yeli tribe, the Xifeng tribe and other Dangxiang tribes who were the first to follow Xiao Ding. They were moved to this area.

Area, this is also the reward given to them by Xiao Ding. Even if these tribes are all armed, they will not have more than 10,000 riders.

What worries Chen Qiao even more is that there are not many troops stationed in Xingling, the center of the Western Army's rule, and it is impossible to rescue them even if they want to.

Both Tieyaozi and Bubazi followed the general manager to Hengshan to fight against the Song people.

"The imperial court must have colluded with the Liao people, otherwise it would be such a coincidence that as soon as the general manager started working with the imperial court, the Liao people came. No one would believe it if they said there was no collusion!" Chen Qiao said angrily.

Although the Western Army had rebelled from the Song Dynasty, Chen Qiao still called it the imperial court. He didn't think there was anything wrong. Anyway, he was following the manager, and the imperial court didn't care about him. It had always been the case.

The steward gave him food and drink and led them all the way to survive.

The official family of Zhao and Song Dynasties may be very good for scholars, but it is really not so good for craftsmen and farmers like them.

"Why do you care so much!" The warrior Cao Can's mind was much simpler, "The general manager asked us to defend this city, so we can just defend it with all our lives. The general manager must have made arrangements for other things."

"This time I'm fighting two behemoths!" Chen Qiao became the general manager of construction. In the past two years, he also hired a scholar to teach him how to read, and he can read more or less. "It's hard to deal with one, but now

You have to fuck two of them at the same time!"

"I have never seen the General Manager lose a battle!" Cao Can said confidently: "Chen Qiao, besides, I always feel that everything is as expected by the General Manager."

"How do you say that?" Chen Qiao's eyes widened.

"Didn't you notice that before the war started, Xingqing Mansion suddenly sent us so many divine arm bows and feather arrows? There were also other weapons and food, enough for the two thousand of us to live for three months.

." Cao Can said mysteriously: "Our Western Army is not rich. To send so many things to this small place, isn't it because the general manager planned this war?"

Chen Qiao was startled and thoughtful. "That's right, if that's really the case..."

"If this is really the case, then Yelvhuan will probably suffer a big loss in front of our manager this time!" Cao Can said with a smile.

Half of it was based on his unconditional trust and admiration for Xiao Ding, and the other half was because Cao Can wanted to boost the morale of the city. After all, there were a lot of soldiers around him at this time. Those who were worried like Chen Qiao would not be of any benefit to defending the city.

Yes, it doesn’t matter if he is right or not, as long as his nonsense can make the soldiers fight the enemy as bravely as if they were given blood.

Otherwise, facing an enemy many times his own in the city, and worrying that no one will come to rescue him and becoming a lone army, this battle will not be easy to win.

However, what Cao Can didn't expect was that his words, which he pretended to be confident, actually guessed the truth.

At this moment, the water in Juyanhai is already red.

During the initial march, the Liao army went smoothly. Along the way, they encountered small groups of party cavalry. Although these party cavalry kept attacking and harassing them all the way, they were unable to stop the advance of tens of thousands of troops.

.It was not until they crossed the Black Mountain and went deep into the Blackwater area to approach Heishui City that they encountered thousands of party cavalry assembled by Xifeng Ada, the leader of the Xifeng tribe.

After the first battle, Xifeng'a was defeated, and the Liao army pursued them all the way to Heishui City.

Then, they became tragic.

Tens of thousands of cavalry appeared around them.

When he saw those cavalry flags, Yeluhuan always thought it was a trick by his opponent.

Why is Xiao Ding here? He should be in Shentang Castle!

Why did Tuoba Yangwei, Zhou Huan, Xin Jian and other high-level officials of the Western Army come?

Even if you want to scare people, the method is too clumsy, right?

By the time Yeluhuan understood that the teams represented by these flags were real, he had already suffered heavy losses.

The main cavalry force of the Western Army is here.

What the Song Dynasty was worried about, Xiao Ding's control of 100,000 strings, was really not a joke.

Whether they were Dangxiang people, Tubo people, Xi people, or Uighurs, most of them were born to be good cavalrymen. This time, in order to deal with Yeluhuan, Xiao Ding ordered to assemble all the young men under his command who could mount a horse and fight.

Of course, the main force is still the five thousand iron kites led by Xiao Ding himself.

In the battle of Juyanhai, Xiao Ding, Xin Jian and Tuoba showed their power and personally led five thousand iron kites to tear through Yelvhuan's defense line. Xiao Ding took the lead and went straight towards Yeluhuan's central army.

Although Yeluhuan was the governor of Xijing Road in the Liao Kingdom, he had never commanded or experienced any large-scale battle in his life. When the two sides gathered together to fight an army of 100,000 or 200,000 people, he even more
