387、The siege

A pair of slightly dry hands held a big bowl, and the owner of the hand showed a kind smile. He was wearing a blue jacket and a slinged head, and a long beard, but who wasn't Fan Yong?

"Husband, how are you here?" Liang Feng quickly took the big bowl with both hands and asked in surprise. He had been watching the city just now, not paying attention to the movement behind him.

"You can come, how can I come?" Fan Yong said with a smile. After two days, Chu Chu was no longer as panicked as Chu Chu, and he really became a little arrogant.

Fan Yong, who was tortured the night before yesterday, finally calmed down after two days. He was a civil servant, and although he could not fight, he could not lose his integrity. At this time, would he still run away? If the city is broken, he will die at all. Why not be more heroic and go to the city and do nothing. With his own head coach, he can cheer the soldiers at least! Thinking of this, Fan Yong stopped trembling, and raised his courage to lead the way and come straight to the top of the city.

Fan Yong was shocked to see so many casualties along the way, with blood and blood, wars everywhere, and the city walls were in a mess. After many years of peace in the Song Dynasty, high-ranking officials of his level rarely came to the front line to witness the fight. Many tragic situations were only seen in books, and now they are in it, they can't help but suck in the cold air.

After going up the city tower, few people recognized him because he was casually dressed, and only a few battalion commanders knew him. They rushed over to visit him. Fan Yong nodded slightly and asked about the situation of the war. He found out that Zhao Dayong had just died in his country, and was shocked and painful. He heard that only Liang Feng was supporting the guards of Yanzhou now, so he hurried over to comfort him.

"Yutian, you've been miserable." Fan Yong said softly.

"My official's words are heavy, so why should my subordinates work hard?" Liang Feng said humbly. However, his tone was also a little alienated. If the old man in front of him was proud to withdraw all his defense, how could he have fallen into such a big fall?

"Oh, I am always stubborn and regretful today! Yutian, I have written to the court and asked for punishment. Today I will go upstairs and guard Yanzhou with you. I hope that I can atone for the sins!" Fan Yong said with a wry smile.

Fan Yong's face was not actually thin. At this time, he had a lot of bleakness, mostly self-blame and guilt. He looked at Liang Feng sincerely, looking forward to his warmth. Liang Feng couldn't bear it. Although this person caused a big disaster, he was not a coward after all. Being able to come up was definitely a great encouragement to morale. However, it is not suitable for showing up now. The lonely city was surrounded, and everyone knew it thanked him. If he showed his way, he would be angry and encouraged by the soldiers. And if Yuan Hao knew that the old man was on the city, maybe the offensive was even more fierce, that would be extremely dangerous.

Therefore, Liang Feng was moved and advised: "Young Master can come, although it will cheer the soldiers a lot, but if the enemy finds out, you must double your efforts. The soldiers in the city will be distracted to protect your husband, which will be difficult. The subordinates dare to ask your husband to go down to rest. If the situation is critical, please come out and take command. Then the morale will increase greatly and the effect will be better!"

Fan Yong was extremely disappointed when he heard his words. He thought that his magnanimous comfort commander could inspire his soldiers to fight to the death, and his feelings had side effects. When he heard him say the four words "better effect", he was even more mixed with emotion. It turned out that he was just like the same item and could only use it when needed.

After a moment of silence, I knew that this was not the time for me to show off my power, and Liang Feng's tone was humble and earnest, so he didn't offend him. He had to nod and said, "Well, I just rested in the city tower. If you need help with anything, just call me." After that, he turned around and left sadly.

Liang Feng watched his back leave, and before he could sigh, he turned around and stared at the distance, constantly thinking about his plan to retreat to the enemy.

The two-day attack did not make Yuan Hao feel manic, but calmed down, picked up the wine and sipped it in sip, pondering and silent. He was very proud of being able to stand at the city of Yanzhou at this time. His plan turned Yanzhou into an empty city step by step. Even if Wang De used treason like a ghost, he could not help but feel attentive. Based on various information and his own judgment and analysis, there should be less than 10,000 people in Yanzhou City now. Once he deviated from the routine of the Party's struggle, prepared enough supplies, food and grass, and attacked Yanzhou, he wanted to remove the nail that was blocking his face in one fell swoop, and let the rich Song Dynasty reveal it in front of him.

However, although I did not use all my strength in the attack for two days, I also experienced the power of the defenders. The Northwest Army was indeed extraordinary in Wang De's hands! Now that all the generals have come out, no one who defended the city has blocked his series of attacks.

He put down the bowl and asked softly: "Are you sure that all the generals of the Song army have come out?"

"Your Majesty, Wang Deyong, Shi Yuansun, and Chen Pingyuan are all out. There should be no generals in the city." The answer was Ye Li Renrong.

"Who else is inside, we don't know?"

"Uh, it should be gone. There are just some battalion commanders and so on, but it is hard to guarantee that there are no one or two people in it who can defend the city."

"Your Majesty, maybe there is one person." Xu Minzong, who had just been released by the Song army, suddenly said.

"Oh? Who is it?" Yuan Hao was intrigued.

"This person is called Liang Feng." Xu Minzong said.

"Liang Feng, well, I've heard of this name." Yuan Hao raised his chin slightly, felt a little disdainful, and smiled meaningfully.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Yuan Hao patiently listened to Xu Minzong’s introduction, his expression gradually became gloomy and he sneered: “Then let’s see how this Confucian scholar can defeat my 100,000 army.” While he was speaking, he came in outside to report that the climate had turned bad and the wind and snow had become heavier again.

Yuan Hao stood up and walked to the tent and lifted the curtain. He looked. The north wind was howling, snowflakes, and his vision was blurred twenty steps away. He turned around and issued a decisive order: "Attack the city, it's all on all sides. I see how he breaks it?"

As the wind and snow were heavy, Liang Feng suddenly became alert. It was relative to the bad vision. The enemy could not see himself, nor could he see the enemy. At this time, the city was attacked and the city lost its target suppression, which made Dangxiang take a lot of profit. He did not dare to be careless, and immediately sent an order and was on guard immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of whizzing under the city. The other party made rows of crossbows. He was caught off guard and screamed dozens of screams, and had been plotted against him. The soldiers instinctively lowered their heads to avoid him. Liang Feng bowed and poked his head out at the chassis to look. The other party's ladder truck had already been mounted. The sub-ladder next to him had also been mounted on the top of the city.

Liang Feng picked up the black flag that had been prepared long ago and raised it. Twenty or thirty teams of soldiers held a long pole in their hands. When they caught the half-moon-shaped iron fork, each team aimed at a secondary ladder and forked the fork on the horizontal bar. They felt that the force of the secondary ladder was getting heavier and he thought that the enemy had lined up. Liang Feng saw it correctly, and waved the flag down, and the twenty or thirty teams of people stood up to the long pole and struggled to send it out. The secondary ladders were supported. Gradually, they fell backwards, and all the enemies on the ladder fell down.

However, the secondary staircase was only used to disrupt the opponent's mind. The ones who climbed up were all worthless life-capturing troops, and Dangxiang didn't care. The ladder fell down and helped him up again. This kind of rude fighting was just to cover the ladder to get on the top of the city.

Fortunately, Liang Feng was prepared, and he was still tired and suppressed the fire. However, Yuan Hao's army learned the lessons just now and no longer lined up the rushing cars and allowed Liang Feng to break them one by one. Instead, they divided them into front, back, left and right evacuated them and placed them irregularly, attacking the city. In the heavy snow, how could you see the other party clearly? The cannon stone just now had no idea. Soon, hundreds of people were injured and killed in the city.

Liang Feng saw it and was sweating in his heart. In a hurry, he suddenly remembered something and asked loudly: "Do we have bamboo poles? The thicker the better!" As the fighting sounded, only by raising his throat could the soldiers hear it. After hearing this, a central army quickly replied: "Yes, a lot." These are common things.

Liang Feng shouted, "Okay, you order the Xiangjun to go down and pick up bamboo poles as thick as a bowl, and emptiate them carefully, so that no joints should be left inside, and the inner wall must be smooth." He kept describing and gestured in his hands. The central army finally understood and rushed to pass the message. This side was still brave enough to suppress the enemy and focused all their energy on the enemy who was climbing the wall.

After a long time, Dangxiang saw that the other party was almost suppressed, so he rushed to the car slowly and had to cooperate with the crash and the ladder below to force the city to attack.

The rusher was getting closer and closer. When he arrived at the entrance of the city, he suddenly found that bamboo tubes as thick as bowls were pointed out from the opposite side of the battlement. Dang Xiangjun was stunned and didn't know what it was. The Song army in the city had already seen the position of the other party's rushing car clearly, and gently swung the bamboo tubes and aimed at them. Soldiers held a torch in their hands and a little fire was ignited. Dang Xiangjun was stunned. A rocket shot out towards the rusher. When they shouted, all the cowhides hung on the trunk were ignited. There were more than a dozen soldiers in each car squeezing on the platform, and they all became firemen.

More than a dozen rushing cars were all hit by rockets, and the people died completely, and all the cars were destroyed. It turned out that Liang Feng was quick to remember the principle of the water gun and ordered the bamboo tube that was about 100 meters long to be hollowed out, leaving only a hole on the top, and wrapped the oil cloth on the other end with a thin bamboo pole tightly to hold it back, and then filled the bamboo tube with strong tinder. As soon as the rushing car approached, the ignition of the tube mouth ignited, four soldiers pushed the bamboo pole hard, and a fire dragon spurted out from a distance and shot steadily on the other side's rushing car.

There were still many rushing cars behind Dangxiang. When they saw the other party suddenly used strange weapons to burn the rushing cars in front, they were shocked and did not dare to continue rushing forward, but gave the Song army time to reload the turbulent oil. This was a simple method that they had come up with urgent needs. Naturally, they were not familiar with the use. The other party suffered heavy losses. The Song army was also burned by more than a dozen soldiers. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and no one died.

When I saw this method work on the front of the city wall, I heard the joy and thunder. As a result, I dared not go further within ten feet of the car, and saved a lot of bloody battles.

The commander of the back, Nori Renrong was furious and ordered Yuan Hao to carry out the order, and the siege on three sides began to start.

Yanzhou is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the city walls are convex. The west gate blocks the open land on the front. The city walls on the north and south sides retreat nearly half a mile before reaching out from the side, and the east gate behind them leads directly to the rear. For two days, almost most of the troops in Yanzhou have been concentrated in the battle to resist the enemy on the front. Seeing that they have achieved a considerable victory, they are excited. Liang Feng suddenly received an urgent report that the north and south gates have been surrounded by the enemy and launched an attack of the same scale.

This scared him so much that he forgot about this. Without thinking too much, he jumped onto his horse, galloped along the city corridor, and kept urging orders. The battalions along the way rushed to the city gate to fight against the enemy. Fortunately, Zhao Dayong had expected that each city gate had sufficient weapons to prepare, but he could resist it for a while.

However, surrounded the enemy on three sides and divided the troops and refused, the pressure was unprecedentedly greater. Liang Feng could no longer be in charge of the dispatch, so he had to risk the arrow feathers shot from the city, bowed and slapped on the horse's back and forth to fight. After a few runs, he finally got an arrow in his arm and almost fell off his horse.

Fortunately, Dangxiang was kind and did not use rusty arrows. Otherwise, his arm would be ruined. He quickly turned over and dismounted. Someone ran over to bandage him. He roasted him on a fire with a sharp knife. He gently cut his muscles into a cross. Liang Fengman sweated heavily and gritted his teeth and endured the pain. The soldier handed him a cloth towel and bit him. While this guy was unprepared, he pulled the arrow suddenly. He did not bite the cloth towel tightly like the heroes, but instead opened his mouth and screamed. The sound of killing pigs attracted countless sympathetic gazes.

After applying the medicine and bandage, he didn't care about the pain. He continued to run and command the battle. Seeing that he was surrounded on three sides, his combat power was more than three times faster than before, and he was very anxious. At this time, a commander came to ask him if he wanted to break through the east gate. He hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head firmly and ordered him to fight to the death. There was no way. Once Yanzhou gave up, he would give up hundreds of miles to Dangxiang, and he took off the Song Dynasty's pants. He would be able to get along with the others when they moved east again.

What's more, the three circumferences and one circumvents. It has always been a way of using troops, just waiting for the rat to drill into the bellows. How can you take risks at this time? It's better to die in the city tower to make a name for history.

However, the heavy losses were also in front of him. Several times he couldn't hold back and wanted to organize a suicide squad to open the city gate and rush out to fight the enemy to make it more heroic. But reason told himself that it was not the time yet and he had to wait. What if reinforcements came?

As he was thinking, he heard a laugh from a distance and said, "Sir, how can I help you?"

Liang Feng looked back and said, damn, why didn’t he think of him? It turned out to be the judge Liu Ping, who was wrapped in an official robe, wearing armor and standing in front of him with a bone flower in his hand.

"Brother Shiheng, are you here?" Liang Feng was filled with surprises.

"Haha, the lower officials heard that the Qiang thieves were attacking and were always on standby in the camp. Unexpectedly, no one from the left and right came to assign tasks. They were anxious and took the liberty to come up to help you." Liu Ping smiled.

"If you can't get it, you will have more than one person!" Liang Feng said with a smile.

"It's not just one more person? Look at him, Deputy Envoy!" Liu Ping smiled and turned around and pointed, and saw two long queues in the outer city holding various strange weapons in his hand, dressed by the people. Liang Fengqi said, "Brother Shiheng, are you?"

"By the way, the lower officials heard that the city was in a tight situation and had no other way, so they had to go to the city to recruit rural brave men without permission. Anyway, everyone will die, so it would be better to fight with the dog thieves!" Liu Ping laughed boldly. It was a big deal that he had the ability. Liang Feng really couldn't think of how he found so many militia overnight. But thinking that they were all civilians, they couldn't bear it and said, "Brother Shiheng, let these people rest for the time being. If you really can't hold on, then ask them for help. Let's fight, aren't it all for them? There is also the Xiang army who can't stand it anymore!"

Liu Ping looked at his eyes with a firm expression flashing, and he felt awe. When he encountered this situation, he still missed the people, but not many people were thinking about the people. He nodded and said, "Listen to brothers, come on, kill!" With a loud roar, he picked up the bones and ran towards the mercenary, slapped at an enemy who was about to climb up.

Liang Feng looked around and gradually more and more enemy troops were snatching up. Although he was still trying hard to resist now, he really didn't know how long he could last. He was so excited that he just hoped that the reinforcements would arrive early. His eyes couldn't help but cross the mountains and looked northwest.

I don’t know that at the end of Yanzhou City, Jinmingzhai was also in a battle of sacrificing his life.

That night, Shi Yuan and Sun Xing led their troops to aid Jin Ming. Unexpectedly, they were trapped in the ambush when they arrived at Chenjiayu. The snowy road was difficult to walk, and the wind and sand were strong, so they could not march quickly. Suddenly, a cannon sounded between the two mountains, and countless arrows shot down. It was difficult to avoid the tunnel in the middle of the tunnel, and many casualties were lost. Shi Yuansun was very anxious and ordered that he only rushed forward no matter what, not retreating, and quickly evacuated from the place. He ran desperately and finally broke through the first floor encirclement. After walking five miles, he suddenly saw dense heads standing opposite, with hair and leather robes, war horses under his crotch, scimitars in his hands, and fiercely looking at the Song army. Behind them was a big river, with the river water rushing and rustling.

Facing the enemy, Shi Yuansun calmed down. The three generations of generals were not covered. Once the gestures were compared, the Yanyue Formation was immediately arranged. The Song army had more infantry and few cavalry, and if they were killed by Dangxiang, they would not be able to avoid it. Dangxiang had been fighting with the Song army for many years and had already become familiar with the combat rules of the Song army. He often used large shields to attract the Song army's infantry to attack. When the Song army approached, he suddenly dodged on both sides and the cavalry rushed out. He often succeeded, and it was tried and tried again. This time he also set up the same formation.

However, Shi Yuansun did not play cards as usual and adjusted his team. The infantry dodged on both sides of the left and right sides, the cavalry was in the middle, and there were not big swords in his hand, but all of them were iron-burned. He turned his back and looked at the enemy calmly.

The two sides confronted each other for a long time, and the Dangxiang Army did not take action, as if they were not in a hurry at all. Shi Yuansun became anxious. He came out to rescue Jin Ming. Now that he was blocked, how could the mission be completed? With a wave of his hand, five hundred infantrymen came out from each other on both sides, and under the command and led by the command, he rushed towards the opponent's side. The Dangxiang Army's front row was half-squatting, and the shield of a man was like a long wall blocking the Song army's way. As he was approaching, many soldiers holding scimitars suddenly rushed out from behind the shield, and under the cover, they rushed towards the Song army.
