Car crashes, trench filling, ladders... More than a dozen built stone throwing cars slowly moved towards Zhending City under the command of the Khitan Han army.

Yelu Abaoji invaded the Central Plains in the south, and knew that under the Wei Dynasty there were many cities with high walls and deep trenches that needed to be conquered. He used a large number of civilian craftsmen to make various siege equipment. However, the army rushed forward, but there were still no heavy equipment that needed to be transported by siege towers, well railings, large catapults, and other heavy equipment that needed to be transported by baggage trucks.

Zhao Yanshou, the general who commanded the Khitan Han army, was still unaware that his adoptive father Zhao Dejun was ordered to break out of the siege, but was crushed to death by a chariot... He urged his horse to patrol back and forth, and loudly supervised the Han generals and soldiers under his command to camp step by step, continuing to move towards the city wall.

According to the official history line, Zhao Yanshou's godfather Zhao Dejun and Shi Jingtang competed for the first time to please the Khitan, hoping to be able to be the lord of the Central Plains, and ultimately failed. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Yanshou wanted to be the second Shi Jingtang, and kept begging Yelu Deguang to keep him in the Central Plains to manage the Han military and civilians. However, the Khitan just wanted to use this lackey and feared that he would hold heavy troops. Therefore, although he was granted Zhao Yanshou as the King of Yan, he refused to let him control the military power.

As a result, Yelu Deguang died of illness on his way back north, and Zhao Yanshou claimed to be the only one who knows the military and national affairs of the Southern Dynasty. After Yelu Ruan, the third emperor of the Liao Dynasty, ascended the throne, he heard that the Han ministers who stayed in the Central Plains dared to make their own decisions, so he detained him back to the north, which left Zhao Yanshou with a depressed ending.

At present, Zhao Yanshou is naturally still thinking about conquering a large area of ​​territory for the Khitan invasion to strive for the opportunity to become king and even emperor in the future. He was originally from Zhenzhou, which was originally a Zhending family in Changshan County, so he claimed to be like Zhao Zilong of Changshan and was also the best candidate for the army to enter Zhenzhou.

Even if the assistant came from foreigners as the front-line and plundered his hometown... Zhao Yanshou did not see any hesitation on his face. Instead, he shouted that the Han army commanders who were in charge of the siege of the city would not be negligent.

As soon as they entered the range, arrows were fired at once, and the arrows were swept into the sky, and the arrows were like rain and locusts, and they poured down to the city... The Han soldiers who were pushing the siege equipment to slowly advance slowly, curled up their bodies behind the baffles and the raised cowhide as much as possible. Still, soldiers were shot by sharp arrows one after another and fell to the ground one after another.

Yelu Xulisi, commanding the Khitan Palace Tent Army, did not blindly watch the wall, but sent various archers to rush and shoot towards the city to support the Han army led by Zhao Yanshou's attack... However, the range of the cavalry and shooting was far inferior to that of the siege. The Khitan Cavalry rashly approached the past, which was not enough to kill the Wei soldiers on the city. Even if a cluster of arrows roared, it shot a group of cavalry and horses to die. The rest of the knights were suppressed, so they had to turn around and quickly set a certain distance from Zhending City;

In front of the city wall, two travel bridges were just built on the moat, and there were many dead bodies stacked in one place in front and back... There were also a team of soldiers busy controlling the stone throwing machine, which wanted to shoot out stones and destroy the guardrails on Zhending City as much as possible. However, they had long been locked by the crossbows on several walls on the other side...

The rear wheel axle was twisted, and the large crossbow arrows that were shaped like throwing guns were also buckled on the strings. The sergeant who was specializing in firing raised the hammer high and smashed it heavily on the plate machine. The huge crossbow arrows made an extremely shrill sound of breaking the wind, roaring straight towards the stone throwing machine in the enemy formation.

Although the correct head of the crossbow arrow fired by the bed crossbow is inevitably deviated... However, the stone thrower is larger and is relatively easier to hit. The same stone thrower was shot by two large crossbow arrows one after another, and the pillar was hit hard. Suddenly, it split into pieces, and the falling horizontal axis fell into the crowd, causing screams to resound throughout the sky;

A group of Han soldiers had to risk their lives to rush to the foot of the city, hurriedly raised the shield, leaned against the wall, and pressed the long ladder on the wall. However, the Fenqian ants attached to the attack on the city, which damaged a large number of soldiers. Even if some people lucky enough to emerge from the city wall, they saw a group of Wei soldiers and tigers roaring in front of them and slashing over... The soldiers gathered at the city could only watch the first three groups of accomplices who were intending to climb up and almost all died under the city.

Zhao Yanshou shouted loudly in the rear, but in fact he felt very painful... After all, the troops under his command were all capital to gain a foothold in the Khitan army. Following the official history line, after the Khitan king Yelu Deguang destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty, he originally intended to kill all the Han people surrendered to eliminate future troubles. That was Zhao Yanshou's advice to retain Han generals and Han soldiers, and at least he could use them in the future... Although it was for selfish purposes, it was indeed because Zhao Yanshou persuaded Yelu Deguang, which saved tens of thousands of Han people from being massacred...

However, Yelu Xulis and Yelu Langwu were supervising the battle in the rear. Although Zhao Yanshou was reluctant to continue to lose his direct troops under his command, he had to bite the bullet and hold on and could not order a retreat without authorization.

However, Yelu Xulis looked at him and found that even though Zhao Yanshou worked hard to command the Han army to launch a fierce attack, Zhending City was indeed as solid as a soul. He could not shake the city gate if he kept his life... He hesitated for a while, and then sighed and said:

"The Wei army has indeed been prepared for a long time. It is really difficult to quickly attack Zhending City with the siege equipment it is carrying. If Russia continues, it will instead delay Russia's military aircraft. Forget it... I'm sending the Han army to withdraw, and there is no need to increase casualties. Since we can't defeat Zhending for the time being, we will go to capture other counties and yards under Zhenzhou, and even harass Zhao, Shen and other prefectures. I believe we will also have some results."

"What? How can we withdraw troops so easily?"

After hearing this, Yelu Langwu thought that Zhenzhou Zhending was an important town in Hebei. The city must have beauties and gold and silk as mountains... It is also the most prosperous and famous city in this area. The city is filled with people. If it can be captured, it will plunder the strong men and women of the Han family, and drive them north like animals, and they can also serve as slaves and maids... However, the delicious food in front of him cannot be eaten. How could Yelu Langwu be willing? He hurriedly came forward and advised Yelu Xulis:

"It's too early to withdraw troops now! Zhending City was the former capital of the German army and was once the capital of Zhao. If it could be defeated in one fell swoop, the countless Han people's wealth and women... wouldn't they take as much as you and me? Let Zhao Yanshou add more troops to attack. After all, the lives of the Han people are cheap, so continue to fill their lives, and there is also a chance to seize Xiacheng Pass..."

But Yelu Xulis suddenly showed an angry look on his face when he heard this. He stared at Yelu Langwu and said sternly:

"We are in the will of Emperor Tian to break into Hebei and harass the military states in order to make the Wei army lose one's own care and be exhausted to deal with it... It's not just for your own selfish desires, but just thinking about how to plunder and break the city walls!

What Khitans and Han people are all troupes of the Khitan Kingdom? And keep your mouth in charge and serve our Khitan Han army. Although they are hostile to the Wei Kingdom, they are still the same as Yan Yun... and even the Han people in the Central Plains. You are humiliating and exploiting for no reason. Do you want the Han army to force them to join the Wei Kingdom to be willing to do so?

If you can defeat Wei State and expand your territory in the south, then the land and wealth will be less than my Khitan Lang? But the most important thing at the moment is to win this war! Instead of just thinking about plundering and enjoying it like you! I have decided to quickly send Zhao Yanshou to lead the Han army to retreat, reorganize the troops, temporarily give up attacking Zhending City, and instead invade other states, prefectures, counties and yards around you!”
