After entering Xijing Road from the Hetao Plain, Wang Shun's Dingxi Army was invincible and invincible, but he did not expect that he was attacked by his opponent, which made the Dingxi Army furious. Fortunately, the Song army reacted in time, and the Liao generals in Fengshengzhou were not determined enough to attack, so after taking advantage, he retreated back to the city of Fengshengzhou.

Wang Shun also made a common sense mistake - his generals were only twice as many as those of the Liao army in Fengshengzhou, and were far from reaching the level of being able to surround and eat all the opponents. He started to attack the Liao army with advanced weapons and wanted to succeed in the chaos, but he did not expect that the Liao army was much stronger than he thought.

The siege in the first half of the night and the enemy attacked the second half of the night, the Song army besieged Fengshengzhou seemed a little tired. At this time, Wang Shun and his generals actually let the entire army hide in tents, except for the soldiers who were standing guard, sleep. Of course, these soldiers who were standing guard were not vegetarian. When the weather was good today, the Song army released eight hot air balloons, and the sentry stood in the basket of the hot air balloon and directly used a telescope to observe the movements of the Liao army in the city. This is not all, the artillery and some scattering aircraft were also under their command. As long as there was a little movement in the Liao army in the city, they would send the Liao army assembly site from the hot air balloons and let the Song army's long-range weapons attack the Liao army in the city according to the situation.

Artillery can not only attack the enemy when the opponent is unprepared, so as to achieve the task of killing enemy generals to complete the beheading, but its biggest advantage is that the range is long enough. As for the power of large incendiary bombs, it is only relatively speaking. For example, in the War to Destroy Xia, if the city wall is not strong and the Song army is lucky enough, five or six incendiary bombs suddenly fired in one place, which can blow out a gap in the city wall, or even blow up a piece of the city wall.

The power of artillery is far less than that of large incendiary bombs, but the power of the shells is enough to destroy any fortifications on the city wall. The Liao army built a city with much better level than the Dangxiang people. It is basically impossible to use incendiary bombs to blow down their city walls. However, the incendiary bombs can "fixed" to clear the Liao army's catapults and other city defense weapons on the city walls, which makes the Song army's catapults and other long-range weapons outside the city close to them.

With the cooperation of artillery, the Liao army was like moving targets on the city wall. As long as it had sufficient value, the sentry commanded the artillery to shell the targets on the city wall. The catapult, the divine arm crossbow and the crossbow cooperated with each other to guard the city gate. Although the number of soldiers and generals Wang Shun brought was a little smaller, with these long-range weapons, the Liao army was afraid to break through and escape.

Dingxi Army is one of the few troops in the Song army that pays great attention to technical weapons. With the cooperation of Tianji's craftsman battalion, the proportion of Dingxi Army in weapons and equipment, especially long-range weapons and equipment, is much higher than that of other Song army units. The Hetao Plain also gave the Western Army a fast maneuver to provide convenient conditions that other troops did not have. Even the infantry in the Dingxi Army rode horses, and the crossbows and divine arm crossbows were miniaturized and hung directly behind the horses to move quickly with the large army. This army, which combines the strengths of nomadic peoples and agricultural civilizations, was at this time relying on its vigorous fighting style and dazzling weapons and equipment to control the Liao army in Fengshengzhou to move.

By the afternoon, the soldiers had already started to get up and buried the stove. At this time, the Song army's long-range strike weapons increased the frequency of its launch into the city. Under the precise cover of artillery, small crossbows and divine arm crossbows were closer to the city wall. There were basically no Liao army on the city wall, and there were a large number of divine arm crossbows and crossbows to guard the city gate, which made it impossible for the Liao army, who was dying, to leave the city and use the speed of the cavalry to counterattack the opponent.

Under the opponent's low defense system, the large and medium-sized catapults of the Song army began to move towards the city wall frantically, and incendiary bombs, thunderstorms, stones, etc. were accurately thrown out accurately under the observation results of sentrymen. For a moment, when the Song army was having dinner, the Liao army in the city was ruthlessly attacked by the Song army's long-range weapons at this time. Any general who came here to see such a situation could easily make the best judgment, and the Liao army in the city had no chance at all.

After the Song army finished their meal, Wang Shun issued an order to assemble, focusing on the south gate and west gate of Fengshengzhou. Although the power of the Song army in the other north gate and east gate was weakened, they obtained more divine arm crossbows and crossbows to visit the city gate corresponding to the detention center. Such an arrangement would make any Liao army who dared to walk out of the city gate hole be shot into a hedgehog by flying arrows, or simply be beaten to death by small bricks.

While the Song army began to assemble, Wang Shun finally issued an order to replace the large trencher with a large incendiary bomb to shoot into the city. This time, Wang Shun was finally angry with the sneak attack by the Liao army yesterday, and began to use the most impactful attack he could use to capture the city. He no longer cared about the integrity of the city. As long as the Liao army in the city had enough tenacious confidence, Wang Shun did not mind razing the entire Fengshengzhou to the ground!

Due to the development of the battle situation, Wang Shun knew that he could no longer encounter any decent big city. The Central Army attacking the direction of Xijin Prefecture had the best logistics and weapons and equipment for the Song army. He didn't have to care if he used up all the large incendiary bombs in his hand, because the Central Army didn't need him at all.

The destructive effect of large incendiary bombs is very obvious. After the large trencher threw the largest incendiary bomb into the city, bursts of black smoke immediately rose in Fengsheng Prefecture. After being connected together, the sentries on the hot air balloon showed a scene of active fire melting the city. Especially the south gate and west gate of the Song army, there were no buildings around it within the range of large trenchers. The Liao army in the city was in chaos, and there were Liao troops running around on all streets. However, as long as they were still within the range of large trenchers, their bodies were torn apart by the huge explosion power of the incendiary bombs.

While using incendiary bombs to start bombing Fengshengzhou, the south gate and the west gate were also concentrated by the Song army to open fire directly at the city gate. After the first round of artillery attacks, the city gate of Fengshengzhou was blown into pieces by several artillery shells that arrived at the same time. The Liao army, which was avoiding incendiary bombs in the city gate hole, was immediately affected. After the three rounds of shooting, the city gate hole was cleaned up, and the broken arms of Liao soldiers were everywhere.

After the Song army exploded the city gate, the Liao army in the city was already very clear about the next step of the Song army. Despite the heavy losses, the Liao soldiers braved the arrows and rocks to climb the city and shot the Song army that was sieging the city with their bows and arrows, intending to resist stubbornly. However, soon these small numbers of Liao army that insisted on preventing the Song army from siegeing on the city were treated with very high "special" hospitality - several artillery immediately turned the gun mouth and continued to launch artillery bombardment on the Liao army on the city. In a short while, the Liao army that dared to show up on the city was wiped out by the Song army.

Compared with the panic scene of the Liao army, the Song army's siege troops seemed very slow and orderly. Wang Shun also changed the "random" siege method of the Western Army in the eyes of regular Song generals, steadily suppressing his army, and various siege equipment began to operate effectively. However, the only shortcomings are that the Song army on the Arch Tower and the Lou Tower did not do anything at all, because the Liao army on the top of the city had been completely defeated by long-range weapons and had no room for them to play. They had to use bows and arrows to clean up the few remaining resisters on the top of the city.

In addition to the many Song troops climbing the city walls, many Song troops lined up in neat defensive queues to march towards the city gate hole. However, in front of them, they were four parallel divine arm crossbows and crossbows, and they moved through the city gate holes and directly fired archers and thunder into the city. The divine arm crossbows were amazing in penetration, and the sky thunder doubled in the crowd. After several rounds of launches, the Liao army guarding the city gate was seriously injured. The Liao army concentrated at the exit of the city gate hole in the city was immediately dispersed by the divine arm crossbows and crossbows, and had to avoid the straight direction of the city gate hole and stood cautiously on both sides of the city wall to block the Song army entering the city from here.

When they were about to reach the city gate, the divine arm crossbow and crossbows suddenly made way aside, and the Song army line behind them also made way a clear path. The Liao army on the other side of the city gate hole finally waited for the opportunity to fight the Song army face to face. However, they found that a line of ferocious Song cavalry was coming from the road that was moved away by the Song army. Before they could react, the Liao army in front of the Song army had reacted, they were drowned by bursts of explosions - this was the grenade in the hands of the Song cavalry!

After throwing out the grenades in his hands, the Song cavalry in front drew a long slash from the horse, clamped the horse and swung the slash in his hands and rushed into the Liao army camp, causing a bloody storm. After the cavalry rushed past, the Song army behind him didn't care about the formation, and ran directly behind the cavalry and rushed up and rushed into Fengshengzhou through the city gate hole stained with blood by the Liao army soldiers. The city wall and the city gate hole were soon occupied by the Song army, and the continuous follow-up troops took this opportunity to quickly move forward to enhance the strength of the vanguard to expand the results of the battle.

As the civil war situation in the city became corrupt, the Liao army began to lose the courage to continue to resist the Song army. The Liao army of the small team ran around the city to find a way out, but these Liao army were either annihilated by the Song army or captured the Song army. Before the Liao army in the city was completely divided by the Song army, all the forces that could form resistance were concentrated near the East Gate and the North Gate. Seeing that the war in the city was not done, they each opened the city gate and charged out to fight out a bloody path.

The Song army, who had just opened the city gate and had been waiting for the battle, immediately responded to the opponent with the weapons in their hands. The lethality of the divine arm crossbow was most prominent at this time. The powerful arrows actually nailed the "man string" to the city wall after passing through three or four people, and there were countless small stones fired by the crossbows. After the Liao army broke through the city gate several times, they were determined to be beaten back to the city by the Song army. The Liao army paid a heavy price at the north gate and the east gate but did not get a way out. However, the Song army was busy guarding the exit of the city gate and waiting for the Liao army to rush out to increase their military achievements. This situation made the Liao generals vomit blood.

As more and more Song troops entered the city, the Liao army became more and more dangerous. The buildings in the city hindered the performance of cavalry, while the Song army sent five or six cavalry into the city, leading a large group of infantry to shuttle through the city. As soon as the Liao army was seen, they would throw grenades over, and then the small cavalry charged forward and pierced the chaotic defense line of the Liao army. The Song army behind continued to attack along the footsteps of the cavalry. This tactic made it more difficult for the Liao army to resist. Although they also had cavalry, the explosion of grenades in the hands of the Song army could easily frighten the war horses they were straddled under, and the war horses of the Song army's cavalry obviously received special training and did not affect the explosion sound. After one fell or another, the front line that the Liao army hurriedly organized in the city was repeatedly broken by the Song army. The Liao army behind collapsed rapidly in resistance, and more and more Liao army surrendered.

The siege in Fengshengzhou continued until midnight, until the last Liao general was surrounded by the Song army and was shot into a hedgehog after being shot into a hedgehog. At this time, Wang Shun was at a loss and began to enter the city with his brothers. The subsequent troops were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, extinguishing the fires in the buildings, and searching for the remnants of the Liao army everywhere. These struggled for a whole night. When the dawn shone on Fengshengzhou again, this place finally belonged to the Song Dynasty.

Looking at Fengshengzhou, which was still smoking everywhere, Wang Shun and his brothers were also listening to the reports of their subordinates. This battle of Fengshengzhou directly annihilated the 60,000 Liao troops in the city. So far, there was no more army that could exceed 5,000 people in Xijing Road of Liao. The remaining remaining fish and shrimps were private soldiers of the grassland tribe. Where were the opponents of the Dingxi Army?!

It was only at this time that Wang Shun knew who was the opponent he was fighting against these days - Yelu Mengjian. The chief general of the Liao army was indeed killed by artillery on the first day of the artillery attack. However, it was because Yelu Mengjian was in Fengshengzhou that the Liao army organized to resist the attack of the Song army, and also sneaked into the Song army at night. - Piaotianwenxue - Organize and collect

Yelu Mengjian is also one of the targets of the Great Song Intelligence Bureau. He is the fifth generation grandson of Yelu Wuzhi. The Yelu Wuzhi family enjoys a high status in the "Three Passovers" of the Liao Kingdom. Even now, when Yelu Wuzhi died for almost a hundred years, his family is still one of the most respected Khitan families in the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Mengjian was exiled because he opposed Yelu Yixin. The Intelligence Bureau's previous judgment was that he was on Shangjing Road. Later, after Mogus rebelled, he lost his news. He did not expect that he had arrived at Xijing Road instead of returning to Dading Prefecture as before. It was precisely because of Yelu Mengjian's command and prestige that the Liao army in Fengshengzhou, which had lost the highest general, did not collapse. He had been resisting the offensive of the Song army, which made the siege of Fengshengzhou so difficult.

After Fengshengzhou was captured by the Song army, Yelu Mengjian also went to fight against the Song army, but this time he really died in the chaos. Later, his body was also found. After confirming that it was Yelu Mengjian, he was buried by Wang Shun on a mound west of Fengshengzhou. Wang Shun had nothing to say about such an opponent who caused quite a lot of trouble to the Western Army. It was not considered admiration. After all, the two countries fought each other for their own leadership.

There are too many grudges that have been entangled in the century. In order to avoid enslavement of their descendants, Wang Shun also tried his best to lead the Song army to capture cities and plunder land and fight to defeat their opponents. These are just a glimmer of hope for his own nation. Sometimes Wang Shun also thought that the Yang family, which had hated several generations of people towards the Liao Kingdom, would have to be broken by Yang Chongyue's generation, especially Yang Chongyue held heavy troops. Will it be bloody to capture Xijin Prefecture?

However, these are not related to Wang Shun's business. How Yang Chongyue commanded the battle of the middle army was Yang Chongyue's business. He had no motivation to continue to advance eastward. He just conquered several relatively large towns along the way, and with the guidance of the Intelligence Bureau, he came to a dangerous place to ambush, waiting for the Xijin Prefecture to send troops to assist Fengshengzhou. However, after several days of ambushing, it was finally confirmed that Xijin Prefecture would not send people to Fengshengzhou. The central army in the south of Sanggan Henan was in a tide of offensives. The Xijin Prefecture seemed to be in danger, so naturally he could not send extra troops to manage the life and death of Fengshengzhou.

Wang Shun of Xijin Prefecture was not interested in Wang Shun. Such military achievements could only be considered trouble for him and were definitely not a good thing. However, he still left behind 20,000 Dingxi Army and 30,000 Song army departing from Hedong Road and 50,000 to continue to advance to Xijin Prefecture. Wang Shun also wrote a letter to Pei Cheng, asking him to lead the army to meet Yang Chongyue and bring the letter to him. He just handed over his troops to Yang Chongyue for command. At that time, Yang Chongyue would never miss his own share if he had achieved military achievements. And no general would think that there were too many soldiers. This was also considered as his favor.

Yang Chongyue is different from Wang Shao and Zhong Yan. He is very accepting of Wang Shun and has also supported him in the Western Xia War that year. Wang Shun was able to conquer five cities in a short time to defeat Xixia. This would be absolutely impossible to do if he left Yang Chongyue to cover him from the side. Moreover, Yang Chongyue also supplied a lot of firearms and other supplies to himself at that time. Doing this today was a favor that day.
