Trade-offs?

Li Wen was about to praise Liu An.

But at this time, Liu An added: "Teacher, I can still do this by ruining the Liao army's 100,000 and 200,000 elite troops."

"Hahaha." Li Wen laughed heartily.

He is really a person who doesn't suffer any losses.

Liu An is a person who says what he wants.

No, Liu An is a person who will definitely find someone to do it for him when he says it.

The next morning, it was just dawn.

A new round of siege under Datong City began again. This time, except for 20,000 troops to defend the central army, the main force of the Song army had only 150,000 miscellaneous soldiers from all races.

The siege level of miscellaneous soldiers is very different from that of the Song army.

The four brothers of Huyan's family were not here, and Gao Qiong was not here either.

At this time, Gao Qiong was digging a pit on a key road 70 miles east of Datong City.

Gao Qiong personally checked his first trap.

Use Luoyang shovel to dig out hundreds of thousands of small holes on the ground, and then lay them on floating soil.

The Huyan brothers took a detour to Yunnei City. Pan Luozhi personally led the team and led the elite cavalry of Xizhou, Liugu and Dangxiang outside the Great Wall to prepare to fight against Yunnei City and go to Datong City.

Zhe Weichang led the elite Zhe family army, the elite Qingyuan army, the elite imperial guards, and the 20,000 elite troops of the three tribes, and the 100,000 soldiers were responsible for cleaning up all counties, towns and villages within a radius of 200 miles.

Besides, under Datong City, Liu An was still wearing the clothes of a civil servant, standing in front of the formation.

Next to Liu An, was Li Han on the left and Taijun She on the left.

Li Heng said to Liu An: "If you want the court to not dare to attack you casually, your first step is to completely subdue the Dangxiang people, so you have to give the Dangxiang people kindness and power."

She Taijun heard nothing wrong with her.

Yang Ye was a loyal minister, a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, and there was no doubt about this at all.

Li Ying dared to say this to Liu An in front of Taijun She, which was a bet. The Yang family also had hatred for the civil officials in the court, and of course they also had some small tricks.

Li Xian made Taijun She believe something, Liu An was asking military officers and civil servants to stand up together in the court.

How did Yang Ye die?

She hasn't forgotten yet.

Liu An waved the flag in his hand gently, and ten thousand instrument soldiers of the Song Dynasty began to move forward.

Mr. She ordered Liu An on behalf of the side: "Transfer the order of patrol, and ten thousand cavalrymen cavalry shot one round."

The commemorative officer immediately passed the order down.

There are no elite soldiers here, and there are also excellent ones among the Dangxiang people. They picked 10,000 people with high cavalry and shooting levels and rushed to the city to get riding and shooting.

Liu An was watching seriously with a telescope.

In this round, the effect of killing enemies is limited, and the enemy's counterattack kills and kills fast cavalry almost no.

"Siege."

The Knights of the Round of the Round of the Arms gave the Equipment Army enough time to reach the designated position.

Forty heavy trenchers and one hundred heavy crossbows began the first round of volleys.

The gunpowder pack with gravel thrown by the trencher, and the heavy crossbow shot out a hollow oil-filled fire crossbow.

"kill!"

The 50,000 soldiers of the Party began to move forward rhythmically, with wooden rafts or bamboo rafts in the front row. After killing the moat that had been buried flat, the wooden rafts were added to the city wall and then wooden pillars were supported.

Behind the wooden raft, there was a archer shooting against the city.

All wooden rafts are triangular, so there is no need to mention the protection of arrows. The advantage of triangles is that they can minimize the lethality of rolling wooden stones.

I saw that under the wooden raft, the strong soldier Tian Haotou began to dig the city wall.

Each soldier digs up to forty people and retreats.

This is the physical limit for the soldiers to dig with all their strength. There is no need to dig too deep. It is enough to dig a foot deep hole in the city wall.

When the boiling oil boiled on the city wall was about to pour down, the soldiers in charge of observation in the distance began to roar gold after seeing it.

The soldiers who were storming the city immediately used their own methods to protect themselves, and then quickly retreated.

The countless holes in the city wall were dug to a depth and stopped, and they retreated at full speed.

Hundreds of loud noises in succession.

The holes in the city wall sounded continuously, and the entire city wall shook for a while.

How thick is the walls of Xiongcheng?

The city wall can allow cavalry to run wildly. The city wall of Datong City is three feet wide and at least four feet five feet thick below the city wall.

The first round of retreat begins to rest.

A messenger came forward to report: "I reported to Liu Xunzhang, and only 123 groups of 140 excavation teams were successfully detonated. It was estimated that the city wall was damaged by about seven feet and about two and a half feet deep."

Liu An ordered calmly: "Substitution, a quarter of an hour later, the second round."

If 50,000 people attack the city, they will definitely not rush to attack in batches.

Mr. She said from the side: "You can use a plan."

“How to use it?”

"The Strawman's Scheme."

"That's it."

The straw man strategy mentioned by Mr. She was a strategy of using fakes to deceive the Yan army during the Warring States Period. During the Warring States Period, the strategy of using fakes to deceive the Yan army's arrows was more vivid.

It took a little time to prepare, and half an hour later, the second round of attack began.

The wooden raft rushed to the bottom of the city wall. This time, the wooden raft just arrived under the city wall, and the first half was supported with a wooden stick. All the people retreated to the back half, and then used a spear to represent the pickaxe to stab the broken city wall.

Basins of boiling oil, rolling wood, and rocks smashed down from the city wall.

Dangxiang retreated rapidly, and then shot arrows on the city in the process of retreating.

To throw the oil and the wood off, you need to throw your head out of the female wall.

The Liao people could see clearly that there was no one under the wooden strait, and the soldiers on the ladder could not be injured with boiling oil.

However, when the Dangxiang people retreated, the crazy rain of arrows hurt many Liao troops.

The Dangxiang people quickly retreated one mile away from the city wall, and a few people stayed in front of them and cursed.

"Liao people, come on, you lowly bugs..."

There are really few words to curse in this era.

The Dangxiang people succeeded in attacking for two consecutive battles, and the soldiers were very excited.

The Liao people were also discussing on the top of the city: "General, are you still preparing oil?"

The Liao army general thought for a moment and replied: "Prepare, this time I lit the oil and poured it down, and it fell when the wooden raft just arrived at the city."

The Song army had soldiers responsible for observation and continued to report to Liu An.

"Reported to Liu Xunzhang, observe that the fire had increased three times more on the city wall, and all of them were boiling oil."

This is the benefit of telescopes.

There are three towers with a height of six meters high and one mile away to observe, and there are artifacts such as telescopes, so the movements on the city wall can be seen clearly.

Liu An turned his head and asked She Taijun: "There is so much oil on the city wall, how about let Cao Cong explode it? Calculate the time. After the bombing, the soldiers siege the city are within fifty steps. Maybe they can dig deeper and cause greater damage to the city wall?"

She thought for a while: "The Dangxiang people could not control this rhythm by transferring a thousand imperial guards to lead the team. Let the heavy catapult cart come back to the city wall."

"Then order."

The third round of attack begins.
Chapter completed!
