For three days in a row, the Khitan launched an attack on Beiying.
The generals under his command took turns to attack, and the offensive became stronger and stronger day by day.
However, due to the solidity of the fortress and the proper use of defensive equipment, every attack was blocked.
The number of corpse-burning piles also increased from eight to twelve.
Seeing that the Khitan would not be able to take Beiying for a while, they also began to think of other ways.
No more storming of fortresses.
Seeing this, Luo Youdu realized that it was time to attack the city.
The Khitan will no longer storm the camp. It would be pointless for him to spend time here. On the contrary, it will add some variables.
Late this night!
The deafening drum beat suddenly sounded.
Two thousand soldiers held torches in both hands and approached Youzhou City step by step.
The hot fire illuminated the surrounding area, making the night look like day.
in an instant,
Youzhou City also responded.
Nervous golden gongs sounded everywhere,
The drowsy soldiers were woken up by their generals, and when they saw the formation below the city, there was a trace of unnatural fear on their faces.
The twelve piles of corpses outside the city have been burning for five days and are still burning. It is unknown how many people have died.
Is it their turn now?
Shi Fang had been living on top of the city tower since the Zhou army surrounded Youzhou City. When he heard the news, he immediately put on his clothes and stood up.
After leaving the attic, I saw that there was no sound in the front of the south city, and there was a lot of noise near the eastern section of the south city wall. Looking down from the tower, I saw that countless torches were shining in the east.
Shi Fang instantly guessed Luo Youdu's intention.
There are not many soldiers on our side, and the other side does not intend to attack the city from the front through regular means.
After all, even if the city gate is breached,
There is also an urn city.
It was a waste of time and troops. They directly avoided Wengcheng, attacked the eastern section of the southern city wall, and directly climbed onto the city to fight at a high cost.
It’s just this late night siege,
Can you see clearly?
He had no time to think too much and walked more than 150 steps eastward.
He gave the order loudly: "Don't panic, cheer up. Go ahead, Li Dutou, Zhang Dutou, move the crossbow this way as fast as possible, and the trebuchet will also move closer this way. Youzhou City Yi
It is difficult to defend and attack, so if you keep it this time, they will never come back."
Shi Fang cheered loudly and issued one order after another.
Then on the battlements, look into the distance.
He narrowed his eyes to a slit, which hurt, and he could only see a large amount of light.
The brightness of the fire on the opposite side overwhelmed the moonlight, and the strong light and darkness formed a light barrier, making it impossible to see what was going on inside the light.
Shi Fang didn't even take it seriously. He didn't understand the optical phenomenon involved, but he also knew that he couldn't see the other person clearly, and the other party couldn't see him clearly under strong light.
As long as the opposite side is close, you can see it clearly.
Shi Fang calmly encouraged the morale of the soldiers and said: "The first step for the enemy to attack the city is to fill in the moat. We stand on a high place, and they are just a group of targets.
Shoot him to death. Let them know how powerful our Yanzhao Erlang is."
Shi Fang waited quietly. The drum sound on the opposite side did not stop, but the light did not move.
Half an hour passed in a flash, and Shi Fang was a little impatient waiting.
Li Dutou couldn't help but muttered: "Why are you still not moving? You are not playing tricks on us again, are you?"
Luo Youdu specially ordered that the city should not be attacked in a hurry.
However, beating the war drum late at night and showing off is allowed.
The generals who had nothing to do would beat the drums every now and then.
This week's army attacked casually, but the defenders had to pay attention.
Not to mention ten false and one true, even if it is all false and one true, they would not dare to bet.
Don't have that capital.
Shi Fang was not sure at the bottom of his heart, but looking at the fire, he said: "It shouldn't happen, maybe they are mobilizing siege equipment. To attack Youzhou City Tower, you need to use large equipment, and large equipment moves slowly."
After another half an hour, Shi Fang was so angry that he just wanted to give himself a slap in the face and ordered: "The soldiers will sleep in four groups and rest where they are."
After another hour passed, Shi Fang was convinced in his heart that he was being tricked by the other party.
With a bit of anger, a bit of helplessness, and a bit of embarrassment, he ordered the soldiers to watch carefully, and he also found a corner on the wall and squinted for a while.
This squint is just before dawn.
"The room stays behind, the room stays behind!"
Shi Fang woke up with a start and said, "Is that so? The opponent is attacking?"
Looking at Zhang Dutou who woke him up, Shi Fang suppressed his panic and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Dutou said angrily: "We were fooled!"
Shi Fang said calmly: "It's okay, it's just a small trick. They don't dare to attack, they will only use this despicable method."
He said it easily, but he couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart: "Aren't you used to this!"
Zhang Dutou said: "No, if you stay behind, you should go to the west and see by yourself!"
Shi Fang had an ominous premonition in his heart. He quickly got up and ran towards the western section of the southern city wall.
There were already many soldiers near the city wall pointing.
Shi Fang looked down and was shocked to find that this section of the moat had been filled in.
In an instant, Shi Fang didn't know what was going on?
The other party attracted them to the east wall, but they used the cover of night to sneak to the west to fill in the moat.
No wonder the drums kept beating to cover up the sound of footsteps and the sound of sandbags entering the water.
They didn't have enough soldiers at hand, so they concentrated their forces on the east wall. On the west side, there were only a few guards far apart to prevent sneak attacks from the opposite side.
If the opponent doesn't light a fire and is only near the moat, it will be really difficult to find him.
Shi Fang suddenly felt that he was just a monkey, being played around by the other party. An unknown fire surged in his heart, and he thought to himself: "If it doesn't work, why don't we just drive the people into the city?"
But soon, Shi Fang calmed down.
You can't do such stupid things.
The more than 4,000 soldiers remaining in Youzhou City are all Han soldiers from the Five Capitals, soldiers living in Youzhou City. Driving the people to the city would easily lead to mutiny.
The same operation is performed on several other doors at the same time.
The soldiers on all sides used this method of attacking from the east to the west, and a section of the moat was filled in without a single soldier.
Xiao Hunian is a girl and does not want to live with a bunch of stinky men, so she goes home to rest every night.
I heard the movement of the city tower early in the morning and quickly came to the south of the city.
The Luoyudu people were in the south of the city, and they unanimously felt that the attack would be the most violent here.
Xiao Hunian was speechless for a while when he heard about last night's situation.
After a long while, Xiao Hunian said: "This is good, at least it proves that the opponent is going to attack the city. If we continue like this, not to mention morale, the rogue camp will be exhausted."
Given the current panic situation in Youzhou City, they did not dare to forcibly increase the number of troops, and could only recruit soldiers with heavy rewards and inducements.
Under this heavy reward, more than 2,000 men were successfully recruited, most of them were gangsters and even hooligans.
But in this case, it's better than nothing.
Now they gather at the military camp in the city to receive basic training.
However, as Luo Youdu used corpse burning as a psychological deterrent, many local gangsters had already backed down.
