Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 304
Several people looked at the Northern Han army outside the city, and saw that they were indeed chaotic and disorderly from military uniforms to war horses to weapons.

There is no general commander, they all trot around the city wall on horseback, watching the city from time to time.

Zhao Dezhao looked at it for a while and asked, "General Shi, do the soldiers have a lot of bows and arrows now?"

"Back to Your Highness! According to Your Highness, it's too much. Each archer has five bags of arrow branches. Each bag has forty arrows. It's more than double the amount before."

"Then let the archers come up, there are so many ready-made archery targets, when not to practice at this time, tell them, if they are shot to death or injured, they will have extra meals at night."

Shi Yuanliang immediately ordered someone to recruit archers.There are [-] garrisons in Yunzhou City, including [-] archers.

Shaoqing's archers went to the city, and the soldiers of the Northern Han Army who ran against the wall below the city began to conduct actual combat training.

This is really both actual combat and training, because it can hurt the enemy without any danger to oneself.

It's a pity that after a few rounds of arrow rain, the Northern Han army immediately ran away.

The bodies of forty or fifty soldiers of the Northern Han Army were left under the city wall.

Cao Xi couldn't help admiring him, not only admired the superb archery skills of the archers, but also admired Zhao Dezhao.Only a bold and powerful person like Zhao Dezhao dared to take advantage of the Northern Han people.

Yunzhou City was originally a small city, because it was located in the frontier, the city defenses were fairly strong, especially after Zhao Dezhao came, he made a lot of inventions.A lot of modifications have been done, and it must be stronger.

However, the Northern Han army had only two thousand soldiers, and the attack would definitely not be able to get in.

After eating two rounds of volleys from the archers, these Northern Han soldiers simply left the city wall and sat under the shade of a tree not far away.
This kind of play like watching the excitement is even more incomprehensible.

Zhao Dezhao and Shi Yuanliang looked at each other, feeling that they couldn't see through the Northern Han people's intentions.

Lu Juan suddenly exclaimed, "Waiting! They are waiting for a large group of people to arrive, so that they can attack the city together."

Zhao Dezhao said, "Go back, I want to check the information on the intelligence line for the past two days."

As a result of checking the intelligence, it turns out that the Northern Han army has had some slight changes in the past few days.

In the evening, Zhao Dezhao, Shi Yuanliang, and the intelligence chiefs of the city studied together, and agreed that the Northern Han army should have paid attention to Caoxi. When they found out that he was escorting things to Yunzhou, they guessed that Zhao Dezhao was also here, so they prepared Gather an army to attack.

"How far is the nearest reinforcement?"

"Two hundred miles. However, due to the road conditions, it will take at least one day to get here."

"Well, let's see how many people they come. It's less than [-]. I don't think it's a big problem to stay there for a day."

Shi Yuanliang also nodded, "Your Highness! The intelligence sources say that the total strength of the Northern Han Dynasty is only 7 people. There must not be too many people who can be transferred here."

After the three people studied it, none of them were too worried.

But the situation changed the next day.More and more Northern Han troops appeared in the distance.In just half a day, Shi Yuanliang predicted that the number would reach more than [-] people.

These Northern Han troops crowded together densely and surrounded Yunzhou far away.

It seems that Lu Juan is really right.

Shi Yuanliang watched the situation outside the city, and suddenly said, "Your Highness, if I lead [-] soldiers out of the city to kill them at this time, I should be able to win a victory."

Zhao Dezhao shook his head. "No, you need to arrange rolling logs, rocks, and fire oil on the city. As long as you guard for a day or two, this place will become a good battlefield to lure the enemy in."

Shi Yuanliang took the order and went.The guards of the towers were strengthened, and the soldiers were trained to fight in battle.And Zhao Dezhao gave him the mandarin duck array.

Under Shi Yuanliang's personal guidance, the sergeants have made great progress.

In the afternoon, someone came on a flying horse and said, "Report to Your Highness! The head of the Northern Han Army has arrived, and a flag with the character "Shuai" appeared, and it was marked with the character "Li."

"It's this kid again!"

On the top of the city, Zhao Dezhao saw that the enemy troops outside the city were gathering more and more.

There is already a big flag in the gap.Looking at the banner, a middle-aged man with a beard is holding a whip and gesticulating.

If it weren't for the distance, Shi Yuanliang really wanted to shoot him dead with one arrow.

Zhao Dezhao supported the half-human-high city wall, and suddenly shouted, "Cheng Yuanling! Come and talk."

Cheng Yuanling suddenly heard someone shouting, looked carefully, and couldn't help laughing.

"I think this is Mr. Zhao Dezhao Liu. It's better to be famous than to meet him. Is he always in good health?"

This kid is actually very fluent in Chinese.

"Cheng Yuanling, you have brought so many people to surround Yunzhou, what is your intention?"

Cheng Yuanling laughed.

"Master Liu, I heard that the Lord of the Song Dynasty is here, and I really want to get to know him, so I'm here. Please open the city and let's go in and talk together."

Zhao Dezhao sneered and said, "I have arranged this Yunzhou City for a long time. You can't attack it."

Cheng Yuanling chuckled.

"Since Lord Liu is so confident, don't be afraid in the afternoon."

"Li Junma! How many Northern Han troops did you mobilize for this battle today?"

Cheng Yuanling saw Zhao Dezhao's straightforward question.And no longer hide it.

"3 people! Master Liu, I have [-] fine cavalry soldiers from the Northern Han Army, and I am willing to accept your review this afternoon."

Zhao Dezhao took a breath after hearing this, 3 people!This may be a crazy back and forth on the verge of breaking the defense.

I only have [-] soldiers and horses, and the gap between the two sides is more than ten times. If the Northern Han army attacks the city, I am afraid that it will exceed the defense limit of the Song army.

Shi Yuanliang was also breaking out in a cold sweat, and murmured, "I hope he's just talking big."

Zhao Dezhao shook his head and said, "At this point in the matter, there is no need for him to say such big words. This posture is probably true."

shouted again. "Cheng Yuanling! You're ruthless, you made such a big noise today, if you win, I congratulate you, but if you fail to achieve your goal, hehe! I'll leave you a dead body!"

Cheng Yuanling laughed angrily when he heard this, and just as he was about to refute, Zhao Dezhao had already left the city wall.

"I'm still talking hard when I'm about to die! Let's see who dies in the end!"

"Come on! How many people have arrived now? Are they all here?"

"Back to the county horse! Now there are 500 people, and there are still 500 people left."

"Don't wait, according to the established order, start attacking the city now!"

"Yes!"

The messenger began to blow his whistle frantically, and desperately waved the small flag in his hand.

Immediately, the Northern Han army all over the mountains and plains began to move. Some people raised their bows and arrows, some raised their ladders, and began to attack Yunzhou City frantically.

"All sergeants! Start counterattack!"

Shi Yuanliang also shouted loudly and ordered his men to resist.On the top of the city, rolling logs, thunder stones, and kerosene were poured down in one go.
