The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 955
The Surrendered City is located in the north of the Yinshan Mountains. It was built on a relatively gentle place in the mountains. It is backed by the Yinshan Mountains and bordered by the Aibugai River tributary in the east. Looking south from the Surrendered City, you can see the endless Yinshan Mountains.

The geographical location of Shoujiang City is destined to be easy to defend but difficult to attack. Like Anbei City thousands of miles away, it has Yinshan Mountain at its back and faces mountains and rivers.

However, unlike Anbei City, Shoujiang City is only more than 50 miles away from the Yinshan Mountains, and it can be said to be a mountain city built on a gentle mountain range.

It is a pure military fortress, and its difficulty of storming is several times that of Anbei City!
The name of the surrendered city was not created by Lu Heng but owned by the Han Dynasty, and the city outside the Great Wall was not created by Lu Heng, but Lu Heng picked up the legacy of his ancestors.

Han Shoujiang City was built by Gongsun Ao in the Western Han Dynasty. Its purpose is exactly the same as that of Anbei City built by Lu Heng. It was to accommodate the Huns who were maimed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

As the Eastern Han Dynasty began to lose control of the grasslands, Han Shoujiang City, which can be said to be the first city outside the Great Wall in history, was occupied by the grassland people and then demolished.

The fundamental intention of Du Gao to build this city, and Lu Heng named it Shoujiang City, is to reproduce the glory of the grassland people during the Han Wu period.

After a hundred years, the Surrendered City once again stands outside the Great Wall, and this time the Chinese nation will no longer raid an uncontrollable enclave for thousands of miles, but Lu Heng wants to use his own method to completely erode the grassland step by step, and The Surrendered City is an important line.

Closer to home, Brother Yeluxiu's purpose in coming this time was not to accept the surrender of the city, but to seize the Yinshan Mountains.

How important this place is to the grassland people has been mentioned before and I won’t repeat it here.

But when Brother Yeluxiu led the top ten Wu Yanguang, Gao Mohan, Jiang Feixiong, Jiang Cuiping, Huang Fengxian, Shen Da, Yaoer Weikang and others in the Liao Kingdom's martial arts rankings.

There are also generals Yelusha, Xiao Tianzuo, Xiao Tianyou, Xiao Dilu, Xixia generals Xue Deli, Yin Qi and others.

There are also young generals Wuyan Yanshou, Yelu Zongdian, Yelu Zonglin, Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zonglei, Yelulu Bugu, Yelu Derong and so on.

Let me mention here, as mentioned earlier, both Xixia and Jin have a clear number one master, but Liao does not!
It's not that there are no strong generals in the Liao Kingdom. A large number of names above Wu Yanguang, Gao Mohan, etc. seem to be water figures, which means that the Liao Kingdom's fierce generals are no less than the Jurchens, but the average level of the Liao Kingdom's fierce generals is almost the same. There are no outstanding people.

So the number one master of the Liao Kingdom, Kongxuan, has not been able to convince anyone so far, but it is too different from the fierce people of the Song Dynasty. The Liao people are all very high and very close, but there are no particularly perverted people if there are no outstanding people. Different people have different opinions.

In addition to the above-mentioned generals, Waipishi Army, Tielin Army, Oruduo and other elite soldiers are all available, it can be said that Xiao Talin's coalition army is just a cover.

The real main force of Yelu Abaoji was on Brother Yeluxiu, and the real target was the Yinshan Mountains!
Taking the Yinshan Mountains can control Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong and other places, and can continue to go south to threaten the Hetao of Helan Mountain, or the hinterland of Bingzhou.

Similarly, the main force of Wanyan Aguda is not in Anbei City. Jin Wushu can see that even without Tiefutu, the main force of Wanyan Aguda is actually the repelled Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang who is still confronting Meng Gong inside.

From this point of view, the alliance between Liao and Jin is still in its infancy, and neither side intends to work together, but each fights for its own sake.

But now facing the surrendered city, there are Oruduo, Pishi Army, and Tielin Army, but they are useless. The heavy armored cavalry is powerful, but we need to use heavy armored cavalry to attack the city?How to attack?
Wearing armored horses to hit a stone wall?The heavy armored cavalry is strong, but it is still animal power after all, not the real tank of the steel torrent of later generations.

Brother Yelvxiu could only use Jin Wushu to attack Shoujiang City, but he encountered a more troublesome situation than Jin Wushu.

The siege equipment cannot be pushed up the Yinshan Mountain!
As mentioned earlier, Anbei City was built on a stable slope in the north of the Yinshan Mountains. This stability is relative!
The average altitude of the northern slope of the Yinshan Mountains is 1500 to 2000 meters. On smooth or uphill slope roads, the lowest altitude in the direction of Zhangjiakou is 1000 to 1500 meters.

Most of the siege equipment weighs hundreds of catties, and there are quite a few thousand catties. It takes dozens of soldiers to push it very slowly on flat ground, let alone this slope.

Even if the siege equipment is built near the surrendered city, it is not a small project to push it near the city wall.

Siege equipment cannot be used, and the only way to climb the city is to use ladders, but the tilt angle makes this most primitive method very difficult.

Brother Yeluxiu, who had forgotten the city and sighed, ordered scouts to search for breakthroughs in the Yinshan Mountains, but the last news made Yeluxiu's face darker and darker.

The Great Wall on Yinshan Mountain runs along the mountain range from Bingzhou to the Great Wall in Yanmen County. It is thousands of miles long. Either the mountain roads are rugged and it is impossible to march on a large scale, or the main walkways are firmly blocked by checkpoints.

Every checkpoint is in the mountains with many mountains, and the difficulty of attacking this checkpoint is even more difficult than that of the Surrendered City!

What troubled Brother Yeluxiu the most was that the Surrendered City was firmly guarded outside the Great Wall like a nail. Pulling it out had almost no meaning except to consume combat power, and it had to face the entire defense line of the Yinshan Great Wall.

But if this nail is not pulled out, if you bypass the Surrendered City and directly attack the Yinshan Great Wall, you will face the situation of being attacked from both sides at any time.

With today's defense system, even if a strong attack takes human lives regardless of the cost, it is very difficult to attack, and the casualties will be countless.

Under such circumstances, Brother Yeluxiu, as a famous general of the Liao Kingdom, stormed the defense line of the Surrendered City and the Yinshan Great Wall without any iron. possible!"

As soon as these words came out, the Liao army was shocked and silent at the same time, because their eyes were not blind, and the terrible defense made everyone have toothaches!
When Brother Yeluxiu heard: "There is a saying in the grassland that the emperor of Song Dynasty did not teach Huma to go out of the fortress, he finally understood how terrible the emperor of Song Dynasty was, and he did indeed do 'not teach Huma. Duyin Mountain'!"

When Brother Yeluxiu lamented the defensive power of the surrendered city and the Great Wall of Yinshan, as well as the "Out of the Frontier" copied by Lu Heng, when Lu Heng, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, did not know that Brother Yeluxiu would be wrong.

Brother Yeluxiu still showed the ability of a famous general!

Since Shoujiang City and Yinshan Great Wall cannot be defeated at all, then instead of fighting the old and suspicious formations, lead troops to bypass Yinshan and go to a place about a hundred miles north of Pinglu City. Yinshan does not cover the junction of the Great Wall. Linrong.

But when Brother Yeluxiu bypassed the Yinshan defense line and went to attack the weak point of the entire Great Wall defense line, he received a heavy blow instead.
