I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Shouldn't we be prepared to block the entire military camp and not allow anyone to enter or exit? How could we allow General Zhong to enter the military camp without restricting our movements? "

Zhe Keqiu is also a little confused, yes! Some are too abnormal.

It was as if they were deliberately spreading the news.

Zhongdao also spoke at this time: "Grandpa told me that the best defense is to attack. Liu Sheng is now the King of Annan of the Liao Kingdom. If Yanjing is attacked, he should go to reinforce it. Doing this will be very important." We may have to withdraw from Yingzhou territory, so we will reward our troops tonight.

And if we make a noise to attack Yanmen, we probably want us to stay on guard and not leave Yanmen so that he can go to reinforce us. "

After all, Yanjing is the Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom. If it is left alone, Liu Sheng, a newly attached general, will not be able to justify not rushing to help.

Our country's 50-strong army marched north, and all the Khitan generals had to defend Yanjing, but Liu Sheng told me what to say about besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao. To be honest, with the help of his men, he wanted to capture Yanmen and occupy the entire Shanxi, threatening Kaifeng is not impossible, but the Khitans were probably destroyed by then.

Who did he save at that time? Therefore, it is very likely that Liu Sheng is making an attack in the east and attacking in the west.

But if Liu Sheng wanted to escape, he would definitely feign an attack on Yanmen before, making our army afraid to go north to discover the emptiness of Yingzhou.

"So general, please be prepared. While Liu Sheng is away, we will go north to occupy the five states of Yinghuanshuo and Wuyun."

After some persuasion from Zhongdao, Zhe Keqiu swallowed his saliva and felt a little excited for a moment. That was the land of the five states that the Song Kingdom was thinking about, if he captured it.

What kind of support are you looking for? From now on, he will be like a child. Who dares to deduct his military pay and pension? Even the emperor had to give him three points of thin noodles.

But I also calmed down and thought about it. Zhongdao was right. Liu Sheng had to protect Yanjing. Whether he could save it was one thing, and whether he could go or not was another.

Even if Liu Sheng really besieged Wei to rescue Zhao and conquered the entire Shanxi, it would be meaningless if Yanjing could not be saved.

Due to the asymmetry of information, they had no idea that Liu Sheng was just an army without any flag under the name of Yelu Yanxi, and he only acted for himself.

Zhongdao said: "But we must be on guard. In order to be realistic, Liu Sheng's first attack must be very violent. The general should prepare it."

But at this time Zhe Keqiu had a new idea and said to several people: "You said Liu Sheng was drunk in the camp? What if I go to make a sneak attack tonight?"

Several people's eyes lit up, this was a good choice.

Zhongdao thought for a while and refused: "Uncle Shi, we have understood Liu Sheng's intentions. It is better not to cause any complications. Let Liu Sheng go to reinforce Yanjing honestly. If he is annoyed, he insists on staying and fighting with us." endlessly.

The overwhelming wealth is gone. "

Zhe Keqiu was still deep in thought when the sound of horse hoofbeats came from the city. Several people heard the sound and looked outside.

Only a cavalry team was seen, shouting from far away from the city gate: "People in the city, listen, our general has said that we will come to attack Yanmen tomorrow. We will make food at the third watch and attack the city at the fifth watch. You should do your best. Prepare.

Our army has never encountered an opponent so far. I hope that the Zhejia Army of the Great Song Dynasty will live up to its name and allow us to fight happily. "

After speaking, without waiting for a reply, he led the cavalry away.

Liang Shouyi's cavalry team completely gave up Zhe Kexu's idea of ​​a sneak attack.

Liu Sheng was not defenseless, there was also a cavalry battalion roaming outside.

If they go for a sneak attack, they are likely to encounter this team, and they will be doomed.

Zhe Keqiu patted Zhongdao on the shoulder and said, "You know Liu Sheng better than Lun Baobao, what do you say? I listen to you.

Zhongdao thought for a while and said: "Liu Sheng cannot be judged by common sense. It is very likely that he is a tired soldier. We saw him drunk in the camp before.

It is obviously unrealistic to make food at the third watch tomorrow and attack the city at the fifth watch tomorrow.

But he will definitely come before he leaves, and he may very well want to inflict heavy damage on us, making us unable to go north. It might be tomorrow afternoon, or the day after tomorrow. In short, in these two days, Grandpa has entered Khitan, and there is not much time left for him.

So I think we should continue as usual and let the sergeants rest, but if we strengthen the garrison at the top of the city, it shouldn't be a big problem.

We only need to defend for a few days. As for the rangers, we don't need to send them. Liu Sheng's cavalry battalion is wandering back and forth outside, and they only go out to deliver food to them. "

Zhe Keqiu nodded and said: "This general thinks so too."

After the two agreed on their strategy, they were just about to evacuate the city wall when the cavalry battalion outside the city said again: "Are you guys sleeping in the city? We are coming soon, so you have to be ready."

The two of them looked at each other and were even more sure that this was Liu Sheng's trick, and ignored it.

Liang Shouyi did nothing that night. Every half an hour or an hour, the time was not fixed. If he felt something, he would go to Yanmen and scream, and then quickly evacuate.

By the way, the city entrance was illuminated, and butter lamps were lit and pulled down with rope hooks. At first, the defenders would use hanging baskets to go down to the city and continue to light them.

But they gave up after being knocked down several times by Liang Shou. Although they couldn't see the outside, they only needed to guard the city wall. If someone climbed the city wall, they would definitely hear it.

Liang Shouyi continued to harass him until he disappeared after the second update.

...

At this time, the lights in Liu Sheng's camp were brightly lit, and all the sergeants had gotten up. The sergeants who had woken up after drinking wine were all in high spirits.

Lu Yan and his men pulled 30 cannons slowly towards Yanmen.

Liu Sheng led a large force at the rear, with horses wrapped around their hooves and holding coins in their mouths, for fear of making any sound.

Liu Sheng's artillery is very powerful, but not very accurate. The city gate is so big and far away. It is not an ordinary difficulty for thirty cannons to attack the city gate at the same time. The only way is to get closer and block the city gate. Boom, Liu Sheng was confident.

At Liu Sheng's signal, Liang Shouyi led the cavalry battalion to Yanmen Pass, shouting.

This caused the defenders to yell and curse, and then rode away.

After Liang Shou left, he waited for another quarter of an hour.

Liu Sheng used the cover of night to slowly advance the artillery and aimed it at the city gate.

Not to mention that Yanmen Pass does not have a moat at all. With the current temperature, even if there is a moat, it will be full of ice.

Soldiers were posted on both sides of the city gate, waiting for the gate to collapse before they could swarm in and capture the pass.

The artillery was only about fifty meters away from the city gate at this moment. Liu Sheng ordered it to be fired. If it were pushed forward, the defenders might be able to see the reflection of the artillery through the moonlight, and their efforts would be in vain.

Thirty giant cannons made a "sizzling..." sound at the same time.

In this empty and quiet night, human hearing is particularly sensitive.

A soldier guarding the city said: "What's the sound? Could it be that Liu Sheng is here again?"

Then he stood up to inspect, glanced outside inadvertently, and then shouted: "Look, what is that? It's glowing."
