The ladder was set up on the top of the wall, and the Khitan warriors climbed up bravely with their scimitars in their teeth. Rolling stones and wood fell down like raindrops from the city wall, hitting the Khitan soldiers like raindrops. All the Khitan soldiers under the city wall raised their shields above their heads and used them.
To protect oneself, however, under the bombardment of rolling stones and trees, the shield could not play any protective role at all. With a loud and dull sound of bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, boom, loud, dull noise, the shield shattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!
At the same time, huge roars resounded throughout the battlefield from time to time. It turned out that the Khitan army's artillery was concentrating fire to bombard the city wall that had been bombarded the day before. The purpose of the Khitan people was obvious, which was to concentrate the fire in the shortest possible time.
Blow down the city wall...
This offensive and defensive battle lasted for five days. The Khitan army almost filled up all the moats in the south. In the past few days, various troops took turns to attack fiercely. On two days, they continued to attack at night. However, after five days,
Although the Khitan army occasionally rushed up to the city wall, they were quickly driven back by Yan Yun's life-saving counterattacks. After five days and countless attacks, there were still mountains of corpses under the city wall, but almost no gains were made.
Any progress. However, Yanyun was not happy at all, because the city wall where the Khitan army's artillery bombarded it for five or six days was already scarred and crumbling, and would collapse at any time!
Boom boom boom...! The roar of the cannons continued. Every time the Khitan army's cannons fired a salvo, the city wall shook violently, peeling off countless pieces of the wall. More than a hundred cannons of the Khitan army fired together again.
Shoot, that part of the wall finally couldn't withstand it and collapsed completely! The Khitan army officers and soldiers cheered in unison!
When the smoke and dust dissipated, they saw that the wall had collapsed into a triangle, with two slopes one mile and one outside. The outer slope was filled with a moat and connected to the flat ground. The soldiers and horses outside the city could rush directly along the slope.
Enter the city.
Yeqi Hucheng, who was injured and sitting in the car, immediately said to Long Ba: "Long Ba, attack the gap!" Long Ba agreed loudly and shouted to his soldiers. All the soldiers shouted in unison, and then Long Ba personally commanded thirty thousand men under his command.
The elites rushed towards the gap. Yeqihu City turned to the messenger and said: "Send the order to the other armies to continue attacking the city wall!" The messenger agreed and immediately ordered the flag bearer to raise the signal flag. Then tens of thousands of soldiers and horses shouted towards the city wall.
They rushed forward, stepping on the corpses and muddy blood everywhere, passing through various wreckage, and continued to storm the city.
At the same time, 30,000 elites led by Long Ba rushed down the slope, and arrows rained down from the walls on both sides. It was Yan Yun's crossbows that showed their power. The dense rain of arrows immediately shot down the Jin Army soldiers who rushed up.
Suddenly, the Khitan army's attack momentum came to a halt. Immediately, the Khitan army's shield hand came up and raised the shield high to block the shots of the crossbows on the city wall. There was only a loud "ding-ding-dong-dong" sound, and the arrows shot by the crossbows were almost
They were all blocked by the shield!
The Khitan army climbed up the slope relying on the cover of shields, advanced slowly, crossed the highest point of the slope, shouted, poured into the city, and crashed into the Yanyun Army's defense line. The Yanyun Army's defense line was dominated by the Mo Dao Army, facing the enemy.
They rushed forward with all their strength, and suddenly there was a sudden killing sound, and under the flying swords, only flesh and blood were seen flying everywhere. The elite Khitan army rushed like a madman, and one after another was not afraid of life and death; Yan Yun's army faced the sea and the tide.
The enemy troops resisted bravely and fought to the death. The Yanyun army was extremely powerful and would often kill two or three enemies before one of them died. However, there were too many enemy troops, and they were rushing down from the ruins.
, the impact force was far greater than usual, so the Yanyun defense line began to be gradually pushed and deformed by the enemy! The situation was very critical, and the Yanyun army's defense line would collapse at any time!
At this moment, the repeating crossbowmen on both sides of the gap retreated, and many sergeants carrying iron balls and stone balls ran up. I saw those soldiers taking down the iron balls and stone balls one by one, and then ignited the fuses on them.
, and then threw the iron ball and stone ball into the Khitan army below. Then there was a violent explosion accompanied by balls of fireballs rising up. Countless Khitan army officers and soldiers felt as if they were flying up, and human remains were flying all over the sky!
The Khitan army was surprised when they were suddenly attacked like this, but they continued to rush towards the gap. The Yanyun soldiers on the city wall kept throwing these bombs to make the Khitan army below fly into the ground. The Khitan army felt it.
Fearful, they all retreated and no longer rushed towards the gap.
The Yanyun Army on the city wall stopped throwing bombs, and the Yanyun Army inside the city launched a counterattack. The Modao Army acted as the vanguard and charged forward. Walls of swords rolled over and killed them. The corpses of the Khitan Army soldiers were covered with blood and flew away. The Khitan Army could not withstand it.
, retreated continuously. The Yanyun army stepped on the corpses and kept pushing the enemy troops back outside the city. The screams of the Khitan army kept coming and going, and everyone was panicked. However, although these elite Khitan soldiers were afraid, they still tried their best to try.
Withstanding the Yan Yun Army's counterattack, the Mo Dao Army was too sharp and they could not stabilize their position at all. Often when the Mo Dao Army attacked and killed many people, many people would fall in a pool of blood, while others would subconsciously take a step back!
Finally, the Khitan army was forced out of the gap, and the remaining Khitan soldiers were cut in two by the Mo Dao army, and their bodies rolled down the slope!
At this moment, the roar of cannons resounded through the battlefield again. Before the Modao Army standing in the gap could react, they felt a huge storm coming towards them. Dust was flying and flesh and blood were flying! The Yan Yun Army behind them hurriedly
After retreating, after this round of shelling, they suddenly discovered that nearly a hundred Mo Dao Army soldiers standing at the top of the gap had all died. I couldn't help but feel shocked!
At the same time, the Khitan army that attacked the city wall was also strongly blocked and temporarily retreated, and the fierce battlefield suddenly became quiet.
The horns of the Khitan Army sounded urgently, and the Khitan Army's troops were making adjustments and preparing to launch a new offensive. Yanyun's troops temporarily withdrew from the city wall to avoid being bombarded by the opponent's long-range weapons.
A moment later, the horns of the Khitan army's attack came from outside the city, and the lookouts everywhere shouted: "The enemy is coming! The enemy is coming!..." Yanyun's troops immediately ran towards the city wall, getting ready for battle.
. However, to the surprise of Yan Yun's army, the Khitan army was about to rush to the city wall, but suddenly stopped and turned around and ran back.
Yang Peng's heart trembled, and he shouted urgently: "Take down the city wall! Everyone, pull down the city wall!" After hearing the order, General Yan Yun immediately started to take action. After a while, he only heard the rumble of artillery outside the city, followed by the entire city wall.
The mountain shook, and gunpowder cans fell from the sky like raindrops. When they landed on the city wall, they burst into flames and made a deafening explosion. For a moment, the city wall was like a flaming hell. The soldiers who had not had time to withdraw from the city wall,
Many people were knocked off the city wall by the shock wave.
Yang Peng leaned against the wall and glanced at the soldiers who had just withdrawn. When he heard the endless explosions on the top of the city, he couldn't help but cursed: "What a shameless Hucheng, you actually messed with me!"
He turned to Li Xu and asked, "How much did we lose?" Li Xu said, "Fortunately, my eldest brother discovered the enemy's conspiracy in time. Although we lost some money, it was not big."
At this moment, bursts of cries for help came from many houses near the city wall in the city. It turned out that their houses had been damaged and even set on fire in the bombardment by the Khitan army just now. Many fires broke out, and they were
It spread everywhere. However, Yang Peng had already expected this. At this moment, many militiamen and government officials led by Yanjing Mansion staff rushed to various places for disaster relief!
The Khitan army's attack stopped, and nearly 100,000 Khitan troops rushed toward the city wall with shouts. The officers and soldiers of the Yanyun army climbed onto the city wall one after another and looked outside the city. They saw nearly 100,000 Khitan troops arranged in three large square formations.
Slowly approaching the city wall. Not to mention the other phalanxes, the phalanx approaching the gap is particularly eye-catching. The 30,000 Khitan troops who make up that phalanx are all wearing heavy helmets and heavy armor, and holding hand-held weapons.
Jiandun is the infantry iron pagoda of the Khitan army. Thirty thousand iron pagodas were invested at one time. It seems that Yeqihu City is going all-out and plans to capture Yanjing in one fell swoop!
Yang Peng frowned, and immediately mobilized all the most elite forces to the gap, preparing to meet the terrifying impact of the Khitan army's iron pagoda.
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "Brother, Hucheng mobilized 30,000 iron pagodas not necessarily to attack the gap with all their might. It may also be just to divert our main energy and main force to the gap, and then he can concentrate
Elites attack elsewhere!"
Yang Peng turned his head and glanced at the King's Banner of Yeli Hucheng in the distance, and said calmly: "Of course I have seen this, but since his Iron Buddha has been mobilized, I have to make arrangements for it." Yeli Guanyin.
He frowned and nodded, and said: "Brother is right. If we don't deploy based on this point, I'm afraid this group of suspects will turn into a real assault force at any time, and then we will be in trouble! This is you Han people
This is what is called 'conspiracy' in the art of war!"
Yang Peng smiled, turned to Wang Kai next to him and said, "Go and ask Ma Jin if all the residential buildings in that area have been evacuated and how are the various arrangements going?" Wang Kai agreed and ran down.
The three formations composed of one hundred thousand forbidden troops stopped about 150 steps away from the city wall. Then the phalanx in the middle slowly approached the city gate and stopped a hundred paces away from the city gate. This phalanx, with shields
The spears were used as the outer perimeter, and the bows and crossbows were used as the main force. It was a defensive formation, obviously to prevent Yan Yun's warriors from coming out of the city for an assault.
The horns of the Khitan people suddenly sounded loudly, and the Khitan army formation on the left suddenly shouted and rushed towards the city wall on the left. The three-bow crossbows of Yanyun army fired gunpowder rifles and arrows, and in an instant, outside the city
Flames soared into the sky, and explosions were heard one after another. The Khitan army rushed to nearly a thousand troops. Many Khitan soldiers raised their portable crossbows and aimed them at the city wall. Then the Khitan gunpowder guns and arrows flew up the city wall like locusts. Guns and arrows
Flying up to the city wall, in an instant, there was a violent explosion, and Yan Yun's soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The Khitan army under the city took the opportunity to rush to the city wall, set up ladders, and surged towards the city wall.
While the Khitan attacking troops boarded the city, the Khitan's portable crossbows continued to fire gunpowder arrows at the city wall to suppress the Yanyun army's counterattack. This strategy was very effective, and soon Khitan army soldiers rushed forward.
At the top of the city, the Khitan's portable crossbows stopped shooting. The Yanyun army on the top of the city fought back hard, either killing the Khitan soldiers who rushed to the top of the city, or picking off the Khitan soldiers who rushed to the top of the city.
After falling on the city wall, for a moment, there was a sudden sound of killing on the top of the city. The soldiers from both sides fought with their lives, and blood was flying everywhere. Many soldiers struggled into a ball, and some rolled down the city wall. The soldiers on both sides were so red-eyed that they no longer cared about life or death, nor did they care about mercy.
As long as there is still one breath left, we will try our best to attack and kill the opponent. Even if there is only one breath left, we will die together with the enemy. So you stab me, I will chop you, you remove my left arm, I
Cut off your head, such tragic scenes come one after another! This is the most primitive and bloody killing. Everyone has only one thought in their mind, and that is to kill the opponent!
After a bloody fight, the Khitan people were finally defeated. Most of the Khitan troops who rushed to the city wall were killed, and a small number of them escaped down the city wall. Some even panicked and escaped from the city wall under the pursuit of Yanyun soldiers.
Jumped down.
A group of Yanyun soldiers desperately threw gunpowder bombs at the city wall. Flames rolled under the city wall and the explosions were like thunder. The Khitan army soldiers who had no time to retreat were blown to death and suffered heavy casualties. The Khitan army soldiers retreated in a hurry, with a look of fear on their faces.
At this time, the portable crossbows of the Khitan army fired a wave of gunpowder arrows at the city wall. The Yanyun soldiers who had no time to hide were killed and injured many times. Immediately afterwards, the Khitan army, which had just retreated, came back again under the supervision of the generals.
,
In this way, the soldiers of both sides fought repeatedly around the city head. More and more corpses were piled up and down the city head. Far more Khitan troops were killed and injured than Yan Yun's army. However, the Khitan troops continued to attack the city head seemingly endlessly.
Although Yan Yunjun was extremely brave, he gradually felt that he could no longer support himself.
Seeing this scene, Li Xu led his soldiers to the bloody battle and repelled the attacks of the Khitan army one after another. He had killed countless enemies and all the arrows in his quiver had been shot cleanly.
.
The enemy troops surged up again, and Li Xu and the remaining Yan Yun soldiers fell into an endless bloody battle. One by one, they died in bloody battles. The Yan Yun soldiers who were still breathing hugged the enemy soldiers and jumped off the city wall! Suddenly, on top of the city,
There was a loud bang. It turned out that a seriously injured Yanyun officer ignited the gunpowder bomb in his arms and died together with more than a dozen Khitan Army soldiers! The Yanyun Army has reached the final moment!
At this moment, countless flags came towards this city, and there were longing figures under the flags. It seemed that the main force of the Second Army was coming for reinforcements. In fact, it was Yang Peng who led a large number of civilian troops to come for reinforcements. Someone just saw this place.
The city was in danger, so he suggested to Yang Peng that he deploy the main force of the Second Army in the gap to suppress the enemy. However, Yang Peng did not adopt this suggestion and ordered the main force of the Second Army not to move. At the same time, he ordered Xiao Feng to use the main force as the general.
The civilian army in reserve fell up and counterattacked the enemy. This was actually very risky, because the civilian army was not a regular army, not even the city defense army. Although these people had received some training, they were poorly equipped and had no fighting skills.
Experience and fighting will are just legends. What effect such an 'army' can have on the battlefield, only God knows.
When the civilian army saw the bloody and fierce battle on the city wall, they could not help but be shocked. Many people on the spot were so frightened that their legs trembled, and many people wanted to turn around and run for their lives.
At this moment, Yang Peng's majestic voice came: "If you're a man, I'll do it. If you're a coward, get out!" How many people in the world would consider themselves cowards? The civilian army heard this.
After hearing Yang Peng's words, I couldn't help but feel a rush of blood! Then I saw King Yang Peng of Yan and Princess Yelu rushing into the enemy thicket first and fighting bravely. The militiamen were greatly encouraged, and several militiamen with outstanding courage shouted loudly: "
Brothers, King Yan and Princess Yan are not afraid of death, are we still afraid of death? Come on, fight with the Khitan dogs!" Shouting, they rushed into the enemy thicket. The civilian soldiers only felt an impulse rushing straight to their foreheads, and everything was at a loss.
Regardless, they raised their weapons and rushed forward with shouts. They rushed into the middle of the Khitan army, waving their weapons randomly, and some even waved their weapons with their eyes closed. These guys completely gave back to the instructor everything they had learned in the past few days!
The militiamen were so numerous that they rushed over in one fell swoop and immediately smashed the Khitan army on the city to pieces. Yang Peng, Ye Qi Guanyin, Li Xu and the remaining Yan Yun soldiers took the opportunity to counterattack.
After killing countless enemy troops, the Khitan army had already established a foothold on the city wall, but now it began to waver and seemed to be suppressed. However, although the situation was reversed in an instant, the civilian army would only cause chaos.
However, the combat power was too low. The Khitan army suffered heavy casualties under the counterattack, and the morale of the army gradually began to waver.
At the same time, Ye Qianhu City saw the situation on the top of the city, smiled slightly, and said: "The main force of Yanyun Army has been attracted! Very good!" Then he rushed to the messenger and said: "Send the order to Iron Buddha Tu to attack immediately.
Gap! In addition, the army was ordered to prepare. Once Tiefu Tu enters the city, the army will enter the city later!" The herald promised, and then ordered the flag bearer and trumpeter to pass the order. The flag bearer immediately flew a red flag, and at the same time the horn sounded loudly.
Barron, who was leading 30,000 Tiefutu, heard the horn sound and saw the red flag rising. He couldn't help but feel excited. He immediately raised his scimitar and shouted loudly: "The whole army listens to the order and follow me to attack. The Tiefutu army has made an advance."
No retreat!" The thirty thousand iron pagodas shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky, and then they rushed towards the gap. The thirty thousand iron pagodas were really magnificent when they ran, like a rolling tide, as if they were unstoppable!
Tiefutu rushed to the vicinity of the gap, and arrows rained down from the city wall immediately. However, the rain of arrows hit Tiefutu with a tinkling sound and could hardly damage them at all.
The iron pagodas poured into the gap, and various bows and crossbows on the wall continued to fire, but it was of no use at all. The steel torrent formed by 30,000 iron pagodas hit the Yanyun defense line at one go, and the Yanyun defense line was unable to resist it.
Seeing that the enemy army was unstoppable, the leading general Mu Chun hurriedly ordered a retreat. The entire army hurriedly withdrew towards the city and dispersed into the streets and alleys.
Seeing this scene, Barron burst into laughter and mocked: "I thought Yan Yun's army was so powerful, but it turned out to be so vulnerable!" Then he shouted loudly: "Come on, charge on! Capture Yang Peng alive."
Those who do, will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and will be granted the title of marquis of ten thousand households!" The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the city at a faster speed. At this time, if you look down from the sky, you will see a scene as if a flood has broken down the dam. The Khitan army
The torrent of iron and steel composed of Tiefutu broke down the Yanyun City Wall and was overflowing into the city. Yanyun City was on the verge of collapse at this time!
Barron shouted to an officer beside him: "Send a signal rocket immediately to inform the king that our army has successfully broken through the city!" The officer responded, retracted his scimitar, took off the strong bow on his back, and pulled out a bow.
A signal rocket ignited the fuse and then shot into the sky. The signal rocket flew high into the sky and burst into a ball of red sparks. The sparks were fleeting, but they were enough for those who were paying attention to see clearly.
It’s clear!
Yeqianhu City was very excited when they saw the signal rocket and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order and follows me in the capital!" The army shouted in unison and ran towards the gap like a tide. Barun led a team of iron pagodas to follow.
He rushed forward along a street. Suddenly, a man and a horse in front blocked the way. Barron couldn't help but stop. Barron took a closer look and saw that it was Ma Jin, the fierce general of the Yanyun Army's second legion. He couldn't help but feel cold.
He smiled coldly, raised his machete, and said loudly: "Kill him!" All the iron pagodas shouted in unison, and rushed towards Ma Jin after passing Barun.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of piercing the air from all directions. Almost at the same time, the iron pagodas that rushed towards Ma Jin were knocked to the ground by extremely powerful crossbow arrows. Their heavy armor could not withstand the power of such crossbow arrows.
Power! The Khitan soldiers were shocked. They quickly looked to both sides and saw many Yanyun soldiers holding divine arm bows standing on the houses on both sides.
Barron smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "Do you want to stop the iron pagoda of Dajin with these divine arm bows?" Ma Jin smiled and said: "Of course not!" Then he raised his right hand. Barron and others saw this.
, couldn't help but become nervous. Suddenly, I saw countless flames coming out from a remote corner at an extremely fast speed, and then ignited countless pots and jars on both sides of the street. Then there was a loud explosion, and the jars and jars stacked on both sides of the street exploded one after another.
, the flames rose, and in the blink of an eye, the streets and alleys in the gap were filled with flames! Barron exclaimed: "No! We are ambushed!" In fact, there was no need for him to give an order, and all the Khitan soldiers
They were already retreating. However, when people retreated in the fire, they burned and screamed miserably before they could take a few steps and fell into the sea of fire! In the streets and alleys, the iron pagodas of the Khitan army jumped around, or fought desperately in the fire.
Rolling and struggling, the screams were heard!
Barron shouted: "Go to the roof, go to the roof!" At this time, only the streets and alleys were burning, and the roof was indeed a safe place. When the Khitan soldiers heard Barron's cry, they were like a drowning man caught
Like a life-saving straw, they all climbed desperately towards the roof. However, wearing a suit of iron armor, it was not easy to climb onto the roof! At this time, Yan Yunjun stood on the roof and kept firing arrows. Many people managed to climb halfway up
Some Khitan soldiers were shot in the body and fell into the flames. They were burned by the flames and screamed until there was no sound! There were also Khitan soldiers who, in desperate situation, got angry and tried their best, and howled and screamed at Yan Yun's army at the street entrance.
He rushed forward, but not far after he rushed out, he felt the air beneath his feet, and a large piece of ground on the street collapsed. The Khitan soldiers fell into the trap and were stabbed to the core by the steel drill placed at the bottom of the trap!
Yeqianhu City saw the flames soaring into the sky from a distance. Anticipating that the situation was not good, they quickly ordered the army to speed up and rush into the gap.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
