By dawn, the snow became smaller. Sparse snowflakes were floating in the sky, Feng Bei whimpered in a low voice, and it was extremely cold.

Liu Jianji left the tent and stepped on the snow outside. The snow was not as snow as his knees. After walking a few steps, he said, "How can the military formation advance with such heavy snow? Even the cavalry and horses were trapped. He was about to break the city, but when he encountered such weather, the weather was really not good."

Under such heavy snow, the formation was very erected. The generals stood in the snow and were complaining.

When recruiting generals to his commander's tent, Liu Jianji said: "Last night, there was a heavy snowfall, and the snow outside was full of feet, and the action was difficult. But Quyang City was about to be broken, so we cannot slacken. All the generals went back to summon troops and horses, and today they would need to break through the city."

Yang Sui said: "Taiwei, it's difficult to get through such heavy snow, so how can we fight?"

Liu Jianji said: "If you walk slowly, you can still walk. We use muskets and the army will walk slowly, and it will be more powerful. In the snow, the Khitan cavalry is useless, and it is the time to fight to the death. Everyone cheer up and prepare to fight!"

Several generals crossed their hands and said their promises. Although they were unwilling to do so, Liu Jianji had already issued an order and could only order the troops.

Yelu Tie didn't stand under the eaves, watching the heavy snow on the ground, worried. Because he wanted to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, Quyang City had stored a lot of food, which became the military rations of the Khitans. In just over ten days, the stored food was almost consumed. In another seven or eight days, even if the Song army did not attack the city, the Khitans would have no food and grass, and they would either surrender or escape.

Seeing such heavy snow, where can we escape? In this kind of snow, cavalry is not as fast as infantry.

At this moment, the personal soldiers came in and said with their hands: "King, the Song army is in line outside, it seems that they are going to attack the city!"

Yelu Tie was not surprised: "In this kind of weather, the Song army still wants to attack the city? The snow is covered with a foot of snow, how can the military formation advance?"

After saying that, he hurriedly brought his personal soldiers out of the official hall. The snow on the street was not as deep as his knees, and the Khitans lost their morale, and no one swept the snow. The soldiers squeezed under the eaves, looking coldly at Yelu Tae and not walking by, staring at him. Yesterday, the Song army was as strong as the rainbow, and the power of the heavy artillery shocked the Khitan. The Khitan soldiers now have lost their morale and are just waiting for a life in the city.

When he arrived at the city tower, Yelu Tie did not look outside the city. He saw the Song army slowly bringing over. Although he walked slowly, he was still very neat. At the cannons outside, soldiers were cleaning up the snow on the cannons.

After looking at it for a while, Yelu Tae did not frown and whispered: "There is heavy snow, and the army formation is moving very slowly. How to fight? It is said that the Song army has surrounded us here, and it only takes a few days to wait. Why do you need to attack the city in the snow? Could it be that the army in the north has already gone south? The Song army in the north cannot resist the enemy, so we can only break the city as soon as possible so that we can go north to rescue."

After thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more I felt like this, and I couldn't help but feel much better. Although it was difficult to defend Quyang, I could still hold on for a few days. As long as the Khitan army headed south and the Song army's deployment was disrupted, I would have a chance.

Seeing the Song army slowly taking their seats, Yelu posted a stern slap in the city wall, saying sternly: "Today, the Song army will inevitably be fierce. Order the army to cheer up and guard the city carefully. Do not slack off! If someone makes mistakes, he must be punished heavily!"

The generals around him made a promise together. They turned around and looked outside the city. Seeing the Song army's lineup was strict, they couldn't help but feel upset.

The sky was still gloomy, the sun rose to mid-air, and the clouds were covered with white white. Liu Jianji stood on the tower, holding a telescope, observing the movement of the city at the distance. Seeing the Khitan soldiers at the city were all listless, and they didn't even sweep the snow on the city wall. It can be seen that after these days, the Khitans no longer had the heart to defend the city and were waiting for the last moment to arrive.

The personal soldier whispered: "Taiwei, you are ready! Please give an order!"

Liu Jianji put down his telescope, looked at the sun in the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Order the artillery to fire! Fight tighter and explode the city wall!"

The personal soldiers responded loudly and passed the order downstairs.

As the sound of the horn sounded, the gun positions filled the medicine and loaded the bullets. Soon, under unified command, the medicine twist was lit.

With the rumbling sound of cannons, dozens of shells hit the waist of the city wall. Yesterday, it was a day after bombing, and the city wall was already cracked. This round of cannons hit, and the entire city wall shook violently, and the Khitan soldiers on it were untenable.

Yelu posted a stuttering and was shocked: "Why are the cannons today so powerful? Could it be that they can really collapse the city wall?"

The generals on one side remained silent. Obviously, in the eyes of these frontline generals, it was not uncommon for the city wall to be collapsed. The more they went to the back yesterday, the more the Song army's cannons came, the more they shook the city wall. Today, the Song army knocked down the city wall with one shot, and these generals would not feel strange.

As the second round of cannons hit the city wall, a huge section suddenly collapsed. The Khitan soldiers on the city wall could not hide in time and fell into a pile of rocks, crying and struggling there. The Khitan soldiers on one side were shocked.

Liu Jianji saw it clearly on the top of the building and shouted: "Okay! Order the artillery to continue firing artillery and make the hole there bigger! Also, let them prepare to bloom the flower bullets, and wait until the city wall collapses and fire the cannons into the city!"

The personal soldiers responded loudly and quickly went down the watchtower to send orders to the artillery. Quyang City was very small, and the Song army fired artillery outside the city, and there was no place to hide in the city. In the small city, 20,000 Khitan cavalry gathered together, and it was particularly crowded. The Song army's fifty heavy artillery could not be used to mobilize the entire city without sending infantry. Moreover, the rest of the artillery blocked the city gates in the past few days. The Khitans could not leave the city at all, so they could only sit inside and wait for death.

Without waiting for the Khitans to react, the Song army's cannons roared again. The collapsed city wall was even bigger, and the entire western city wall could not stand. The remaining Khitan soldiers ran to other places quickly, and everyone thought that the soldiers shouting in the collapsed city wall were as if they had not seen it. As soon as the city wall collapsed, the Khitan soldiers in the city looked here in horror, and were at a loss for a moment.

Yelu Tie was not stunned, and soon understood and said loudly: "Select the generals to reorganize the troops! The city wall has collapsed, and the Song army will surely attack in quickly and fight to the death with them! If there is anyone who is ignorant and not fighting, kill!"

The sound was floating in the sky above the city tower, and there were echoes. Unfortunately, there were few generals who answered, and most of them turned a deaf ear. With such heavy snow outside, the city was cramped and the army could not even be set up. How could they fight against the Song army? Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the city wall had collapsed and the Khitan had been defeated. At this time, it was the right way to surrender honestly, and I still wanted to resist stubbornly. Where could there be a way to survive?

The Song army outside the city heard the sound of cheers. They were all in place and did not force the city. The snow on the ground was too deep, and it was already barely enough to form an army formation. It was too difficult to attack. The Song army just surrounded the city and bombarded the city with cannons. Even though the Khitans were steel and iron, they could not withstand the attack of artillery soldiers. Especially the city was crowded, and once the flowering bullets were blooming, I didn’t know how many people could be killed.

The heavy artillery did not stop, and then opened the three-wheeled artillery in the sky, completely collapsed the western city wall, and replaced it with the flowering bullet. Just as the terrified eyes of the Khitan soldiers, the flowering bullet fell into the city. One shot exploded, and there were tragic sounds everywhere.
