On March 22, Xin'an City Defense Line.

Ji Kang and Lu Zhonglian, with Shi Gan, Tian Guang and others, were still watching the formation on the hillside several miles away.

A large army of 100,000 in Liao was displayed not far from the north side of the moat in Xin'an City. Hundreds of catapults stood in the middle of the army, densely connected.

On the Liao army's command platform, the general Rongfu's character "Rong" flag was erected high. On both sides of the flag, flags of various colors fluttered in the wind.

General Rongfu, sitting on the podium, held up the telescope in his hand and looked at the city of Xin'an City. He saw that the city of Xin'an was crowded with soldiers from Ji Kingdom standing there.

Rong Qi put down the telescope in his hand, looked at Xin'an City not far away, raised his right hand and pointed at the Xin'an City Wall in front of him, and loudly ordered: "Cattagger launches."

Immediately, the flags were directed on the podium and began to flutter and dance.

Gao Dayong, the major general who commanded the stone casting formation, immediately shouted: "Start."

Then, on hundreds of catapults, about 400 kilograms of huge stones reprinted, rose into the air with the command sound. The huge stones swept through the air, and reflected on the earth under the sun, turning into black shadows.

The huge stones hit the walls of Xin'an City, making a "boom, rumbling" sound, endless. Every collision sound is deafening.

Some stones did not hit the city wall, but fell on the ground in front of the city wall. With a loud bang, a big pit was smashed out of the ground. Wherever the stones falling on the city wall, opium was flying, gravel bricks splashed, and the surrounding people were all gone.

Gao Min, the commander of the Ji Army, did not expect that the catapult car in Liaodi was so powerful and had such a far range of launches. Looking at the chaos of the Ji Army on the city wall, he shouted: "Please pay attention to avoid, pay attention to avoid."

The Liao army commander Rong Fran immediately ordered: "Engineers build a bridge."

Teams of engineers carried heavy long ladders and walked out of the aisle left by the Liao army's array, erected long ladders. The engineers behind pulled the rope at the other end and slowly lowered it.

The distance of this long ladder was calculated and could be placed on the other end of the moat in Xin'an City. Moreover, the joints in the middle of the ladder were all fixed with steel. As long ladders gathered together, several "bridges" suddenly appeared on the moat in Xin'an City.

Gao Min, who was standing at the top of Xin'an City, and Jin Fayan, the defender of Xin'an City, saw this, both of them were disintegrated. Unexpectedly, the Liao army's siege was so sharp, and even more so that the equipment to build the river was also so perfect.

Gao Min, the commander of the Ji Army, shouted loudly to the new guard general, Blonde Hair, next to him: "Order our catapult to fight back. Be sure to destroy the long ladder built by the Liao army."

The blonde replied slowly, "No."

The distance between Ji Jun's catapult car was also tested and could launch stones from the city and hit the middle of the moat.

As the stones fired from the catapult cart in Xin'an City, the long ladders that the Liao army engineers had just built were broken by the thrown stones by the Ji army. Suddenly, many broken wood floated into the moat in Xin'an City.

Rong Qi laughed at the command platform and said to the generals beside him: "As expected, the Xin'an City Catalog was indeed launched, and the locations of the Ji Jun's Catalog were also exposed."

Speaking of this, Rongfu said to the messenger beside him: "Order our army's catapult to change to smaller stones, launch stones at the direction of the enemy's catapult to fire, and smash the catapult in Xin'an City for me."

The messenger quickly replied: "No."

Gao Dayong received the order and said to the catapult cart array: "Two and three sons, change to smaller stones and fire at the catapult cart in the city. Don't stop, keep the enemy's catapult cart sending out no stones."

After the order, stones flew over the sky ahead of the Liao army and rushed towards the direction where they had just been launched in Xin'an City. Then, dust flew in Xin'an City, and a vague cry for help came.

Rong Fen immediately ordered: "The engineers continue to build the long ladder."

Soon, on the moat of Xin'an City, a long ladder was built on the river surface by Liao army engineers, and the "bridge" was built again.

General Rongfu waved his hand and ordered: "Siege the city."

Then, he walked out of the army formations from both sides of the command platform and carried the long ladder towards Xin'an City.

Seeing this, Gao Min, the commander of the Ji Army, also ordered: "Archers in the city are ready, and the wooden and stones are ready."

More than 50,000 Liao troops who had arrived in Pingcheng, slept in the camping place of the Liao army in Dafeng Mountain at noon. After waking up in the afternoon, everyone was full of energy. After dinner, everyone was ready for the war.

Wang Shi and Wang Fenghai stood on a mountain, raised their telescopes and looked at the southern gate of Pingcheng. They saw many people leaving the city returning to the city one after another, with fewer people visiting the city.

Wang Shi looked at the sky and found that it was already hazy and a little dark. He immediately issued an order: "Let the colonel Cui Hai come to see me."

The brigade commander Cui Hai, who led the 3,000 assault battalions, hurried over after receiving the summons from Wang Shi.

"Meet the General."

"Brother General Cui Hai, please be exempted from gifts."

"Thank you, General."

"Brother General Cui Hai, you know your mission!"

"Your Majesty General, the last general knows."

"Okay. Brigadier Cui Hai, as long as you take down the southern gate of Pingcheng and guard it, when our army arrives, you can become a real general."

"The subordinates will live up to the general's expectations."

"Go, I and the soldiers of the entire army are watching you from the back."

"Affect the order."

After watching Cui Hai leave, Wang Shi said to the messenger beside him: "Order the entire army to be prepared to assault the city."

The commander hurriedly bowed and said, "No."

After a day of fighting, the main army of Liaoji and the two sides in Xin'an City ended, the army led by Wang Shi was ready to start raiding Pingcheng and take down this city that was crucial to the army on both sides.

The general of Ji Army guarding Pingcheng was named Li Zheming. He never expected that Pingcheng in the rear could be attacked by the Liao army. Pingcheng was still not wary, and as usual, the people were allowed to walk freely and leave the city.

Because the front line is tight, just yesterday, Li Zheming received an order from the front line commander Gao Min, and sent 10,000 soldiers to escort the food and grass to the front line. Now the defenders in Pingcheng are not 30,000, but 20,000.

It was getting darker, and Ji Jun at the south gate found a group of people coming from a distance. The city guard looked at it. Because it was already dark, he vaguely found that it was his Ji Jun and did not take it seriously.

Standing at the top of the city wall, he said to Ji Jun who was coming: "Is it the army that reinforces the front line?"

Seeing a small school walking out of the front, I replied to myself: "Yes, we are ordered by the military headquarters to go to Xin'an for reinforcements. We need to rest here for one night today."

The lieutenant guarding the city didn't care, because this situation happened almost every day now. He shouted at the top of the city: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work. You wait a moment, I will go down to check the orders of the military headquarters and let you rest."

Immediately, the lieutenant guarding the city walked down the city.

Cui Hai and the deputy general looked at each other, smiled on their faces, gestured to their army, and then took more than 20 personal guards toward the city gate.

After entering the city gate, the lieutenant guarding the city also walked down from the city, arrived at Cui Hai and the others, and said, "Brothers, just let me check the documents of the Ministry of War."

At this time, I heard a commotion at the city gate. When the captain looked forward, he found that his many defenders had fallen into a pool of blood.

The city guard captain was shocked and shouted: "What are you doing? No, you are..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt his neck chill and then fell to the ground.

Cui Hai shouted to the Liao army behind him: "Quickly occupy the city gate, light fireworks, and report to the general."

The Ji army, who guarded the southern gate of Pingcheng, was caught off guard and was quickly occupied by the Liao army. Then a thick black smoke column emerged from the top of the city.

The Liao army general Wang Shi had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. Seeing the smoke rising from the south gate of Pingcheng, knowing that the raid had been successful, he shouted to the Liao army behind him: "Cabinets attack, follow me to reinforce the brothers at the gate of the city, and the infantry follow."

After saying that, he ran forward first along the horse, and the five thousand cavalrymen behind him followed closely.

At this time, Li Zheming, the garrison of Pingcheng, was having dinner when he got the news that the South City Gate was lost. After hearing this, he couldn't believe it. He shouted to the small school that came to report the news: "Can you be sure that the Liao army occupied the South City Gate?"

The school anxiously said to Li Zheming: "General, it's true that they raided the South City Gate in our army's clothes. Now, please send troops as soon as possible to retake the South City Gate!"

Li Zheming's face was as dark as the face, kicking down the dining table, and the bowls and chopsticks were scattered all over the floor. He shouted to the messenger beside him: "Come people quickly and take back the South City Gate."

But at this time, it is not easy to retake the city gate again!

After Wang Shi's cavalry led by Liao army arrived in Pingcheng first, they found that Cui Hai was leading 3,000 soldiers fighting with the Ji army.

Wang Shi laughed and shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Attack the city and seize the granary."

The Liao cavalry shouted together: "Kill."

With his general, he rushed into Pingcheng. Wang Shi Chong was in the front and came to the few Ji soldiers who were fighting with Cui Hai. With a sword, a Ji soldiers' head flew into the sky.

The cavalry troops coming behind him immediately joined the battle. The Ji army fell one after another, and the remaining Ji army ran into the city. Suddenly, the entire Pingcheng was filled with shouts and fighting.

Cui Hai came to Wang Shi, wiped the blood on his face, and bowed to Wang Shi with his fists and said, "General, I will give you the blessing of the general, and I will fulfill my mission."

Wang Shi immediately laughed and said to Cui Hai: "General Cui, there is no need to be like this. You have made great contributions to my Liao territory. Now you are a general, and the king will definitely approve it."

Cui Hai knelt on one knee and said to Wang Shi: "Thank you for your cultivation, General."

Wang Shi nodded and said to Cui Hai: "General Cui, it's not a careless time yet. You have to lead your troops to guard the city gate."

"promise."

On March 23, in the 13th year of King Wucheng, General Wang Shi led 50,000 Liao troops to raid the Ji army's food and grass gathered in Dipingcheng and occupied Pingcheng.

Li Zheming, the governor of Ji State, knew that he would be beheaded when he returned, so he led the remnants of Ji army to surrender to Wang Shi. The food and supplies on the entire front of Ji army fell into the hands of the Liao army.

On the same night, Shun'an City was also led by Lieutenant General Wang, and the raid was successfully carried out, and the guard was killed in battle.

On March 24, Baiyuanli was also forcibly captured by Lieutenant General Zuo Zong, and the defender died in battle.

At this point, the 400,000 troops of the entire western Ji Kingdom were completely separated from Jidu by the Liao army.
Chapter completed!
