No shortage of walls

Liu Jingyun was furious. He said:"Our country, the Song Dynasty, has been bullied by its neighbors for a long time. Finally, God has mercy. His majesty, the orthodox emperor, descended from heaven to save the country. My majesty, the orthodox emperor, has incomparable magical skills and can do things that have never been done before to benefit the country and the people. Things, now is the beginning of our Song Dynasty becoming prosperous and powerful; if the neighbors still dare to do what they did before, when our Song Dynasty becomes strong, we will write a letter and beat all the neighbors. His grandma, take advantage of the situation to rob."

Everyone is very angry. But now it is better not to be too troublesome, hoping that the wise and mighty orthodox emperor can control his neighbors with business matters. What if he takes action after conquering the Liao Kingdom? I'm not afraid of anyone, I'll hit anyone I see!

With Liu Ying's 25,000 troops. There are more than 60,000 people riding in total. Liu Jingyun has ambitions if he wins often.

But the imperial edict has not yet been issued, so we have to be careful.

Only two days later, Emperor Liao mobilized 40,000 troops to attack Jizhou.

The shrewd people of the Liao Kingdom who escorted Song Ru estimated that the number of Song troops in Jizhou City should be between thirty and forty thousand, and among those who were allowed to leave the city, the original spies of the Liao Kingdom also said so, because Jizhou The Liao Kingdom has long been familiar with how big a city is and how many people it can accommodate.

Liu Ying's 25,000 troops outside the city are between Qingzhou and Jizhou. The Liao people are in a hurry and haven't figured it out yet. Secondly, 40,000 people have already filled Jizhou City. Liu Ying's troops really have no way to come in. They can only arrange food and grass outside the city.

The one who came from the Liao Kingdom to attack Jizhou was a third-grade general, a hero ranked tenth among martial arts masters. His compound surname is Nangong and his given name is Zhenbei. He was sent out because, firstly, he was the tenth hero; secondly, the name Zhenbei was auspicious, and he hoped to suppress the Northern Song Dynasty.

Nangong Zhenbei heard that there were 40,000 Song people riding in Jizhou City, and wanted to wait until at least 60,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized before taking action. As a third-grade general, he used 40,000 people below the city to attack the 40,000 people above, knowing that the chance of victory was not good; But when Emperor Liao heard that Emperor Song wanted his life, he was almost scared to death. He urgently ordered troops to recapture Jizhou City and drove the Song people back to Qingzhou Pass. He also said that only 40,000 Song troops captured Jizhou City.

The Song army captured Jizhou City in the Liao Dynasty. First, the incident occurred suddenly; the news was not received until the Song army had attacked Qingzhou Pass, and there was no time to increase troops; Jizhou City already belonged to the Song Dynasty. Secondly, there were less than 20,000 people in Jizhou City at the beginning, but the imperial edict had been issued and Nangong Zhenbei had to do it. However, the Minister of War and several other important officials in the court knew that Nangong Zhenbei was difficult to do.

In the name of the Ministry of War, Mr. Yang is dispatching additional troops. But it would take eighteen hours at the fastest before twenty thousand people could arrive.

Nangong Zhenbei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. He didn't expect to capture Jizhou overnight.

Jizhou has fallen into the hands of the Song army. How can you be so naive as to think that they are unprepared?

The night of October 22nd.

Zishi.

Nangong Zhenbei decided to concentrate his forces to attack the east gate of Jizhou.

There are four gates in Jizhou. The west gate is on the other side of Qingzhou Pass. However, it is far away and is formed by mountains. It would be too costly to climb over the mountains to attack the west gate. If the Song Dynasty sends troops, it will be between Qingzhou Pass and Jizhou Pass. The meat in the middle of the state is left to be slaughtered. Originally, the Liao Kingdom built this city based on the mountain-shaped terrain, and it was still the throat of Qingzhou Pass and the imperial city. It's just that Qingzhou Pass is still the most unique pass in the world. No one thought that the Song Army could break Qingzhou Pass. The Song Army captured Jizhou only because of a sudden incident.

When the Song Dynasty was divided into north and south, Qingzhou Pass was defended by only a thousand men for ten years. The Liao army attacked Qingzhou Pass for ten years but still could not break through it. Afterwards, although it was known that the Song general guarding the pass had no choice, he still ordered people to pile large rocks into the gate. , They just shot arrows on the top of the pass wall; if they had known that the Song Dynasty had seized the pass, they would have piled up the inner pass of the Liao with huge rocks; even if the Song people had big arrows and could climb the wall, there was nothing they could do.

At first, the Song people only had the west gate to attack; now when the Liao people attack Jizhou City in Liao, they have three north and southeast gates to attack. It's just that Nangong Zhenbei has calculated that if he attacks in three gates, his troops will still be too few.

The Liao army's attack was very brave, and they were all determined to recapture their Jizhou City. Thousands of ladders were densely packed, and every soldier fought to the death.

The ever-victorious Liu Jingyun was already prepared. There were big rocks, rolling logs, and arrows on the city like rain.

The Song army robbed someone else's big city. It would be strange if they didn't prevent others from coming to rob it.

Liu Ying heard that the Liao people were attacking the city. He advised Chang Sheng:"Commander Chang, please lead your headquarters quietly out of the south gate and ride ahead first. I have ten thousand cavalry and can reach the east gate in an hour. With a rush, I will be able to disperse the Liao thieves." At that time, Commander Liu led his troops to attack, and the Liao thieves were sure to be killed."

Chang was overjoyed at the victory. He said:"There is no need for horses to defend the city. Commander Liu and I led 30,000 cavalry out of the city. Commander Liu ordered people to defend the city. When it seemed that it was not broken, it attracted the Liao dogs to attack. When all the cavalry from the three armies of us came out, we would kill all the Liao dogs. Liu

Jingyun said:"This is a great plan! But I see that there are many people outside the city, there seem to be forty or five thousand people. If there is an ambush behind the Liao thieves, you will be in danger."

Chang Sheng said solemnly:"We, the Song Dynasty, are the most powerful I hate the traitorous thieves. The dog thieves of the Song Dynasty and the dog king of the Liao Kingdom harmed more than 20,000 soldiers of our Song Dynasty. As a military general, I still have the duty to protect the country and the land. How can I die? The small Liao Kingdom dares to challenge the dignity of my emperor?"

While the war is still going on, we can't talk too much.

Liu Jingyun thought for a moment and then agreed. Immediately ordered to go down, pretending to be an unbroken opportunity. No matter what, when the Song army attacked Jizhou City, it was caught by surprise and unprepared, and could not break it in an hour. Now the Song army is prepared, and the Liao people want to break the city in an hour, then It's nothing more than a fool's dream.

There was an urgent need to replace the cavalry. Although the Song Dynasty lacked horses, in order to attack Liao, the three armies totaled 70,000 people. In addition to the more than 60,000 troops at Qingzhou Pass, they still had 30,000 horses.

Chief Shi was an offensive soldier, and he had no interest in defending the city. He seemed to be inferior to other soldiers. When he heard that he was going out to attack Liao, he immediately became energetic and hurriedly came down from the city wall. He said to himself:"The last of the three officials are willing to go out of the city to kill the Liao thieves."

Chang Sheng said:"Captain Shi is tall and long, and his body is quite heavy. It is difficult to have a good horse to support him."

Commander Shi said hurriedly:"Come back to Commander Chang! The general doesn't know how to fight on horseback. He only needs a strong horse for the general to follow. When he reaches the place, the general will come down and kill him."

Chang Sheng knew that this guy was brave and highly skilled in martial arts; he followed his words. At that moment, 30,000 Qingqi quietly came out from the south gate. Liu Jingyun ordered his subordinates not to use big rocks and rolling logs, but to shoot arrows. He estimated the time and waited for the 30,000 Qingqi to approach, and used the sound of big rocks and rolling logs to cover up the sound of the hooves of the 30,000 Qingqi. Don't let the other party find out in advance and run away. This is to prevent the Liao soldiers from running away. It should be noted that when 30,000 Qingqi are rushing, the sound of horse hooves can be heard for more than ten miles. If the opponent detects it in advance, the efforts of Commander Chang and Commander Liu will be in vain. When the Qingqi approaches, the battle is stalemate and the Liao people are attacking the city. It is impossible to escape intact.

Secondly, let the opponent misunderstand that there are no big rocks and rolling trees in the Song Army city, and act as a weak force; to attract the opponent to attack, as long as the Changsheng Army Commander and Commander Liu Ying approach with 30,000 Qingqi, the Liao Army wants to run away? no way!
