    If it is necessary to put down the rope pass, it means that the city gate has been broken and the situation is very dangerous. Putting down the rope pass will not only prevent the attackers from entering later, but also block the enemy troops who have entered the city from entering the urn city.  It was convenient for the defenders at the top of the tower to use their bows and arrows to massacre the enemy troops trapped in the urn.

    Fang Jinshi stood in the urn city, which was four to five feet high, no more than one foot and twenty-three wide, and sixty or seventy steps long. He looked up at the blue sky and white clouds surrounded by the city walls. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It was temporarily quiet here.  Yes, the green old-fashioned slabs on the ground are extremely smooth, and some stone slabs have made some marks from the wheels. Since the last reconstruction, the city of Yunnei Prefecture has never been attacked by any enemy, because the Liao Dynasty was strong, both in Xixia and Song Dynasty.  Murodu was unable to attack this important western town. Now that the Jurchens are here, it's time to test its strength.

    Fang Jinshi walked forward through Wengcheng, and when he passed under the Qianjin Gate, he couldn't help but look up at the huge stone. He walked over quickly, fearing that the iron ropes locking the stone were not strong enough, and the city of Yunneizhou would be damaged.  The door is nearly a foot thick and is reinforced with many iron bars. Door nails as big as bowls and door nails as big as wine glasses are alternately inlaid. There are two small rooms under the corner of the city wall. In the room, you can go down the stairs and enter the basement. The basement is half buried.  There are many large urns, called the ground listening room, which are specially used to listen to whether the enemy is digging holes in the ground.

    The city gate of Yunnei Prefecture is extremely high. There are stone chambers on the left and right sides of the gate. Inside, there are thick bamboo tubes extending into the ground. A large stove in the chamber is connected to the bamboo tube. Fang Jinshi glanced at it as he walked by, and his heart  He thought: "Is it possible to boil water in here?" Of course, this thought only passed through his mind for a moment, and he knew that it couldn't be the case. However, although he could not guess what the big stove was used for, he also knew that it must be  Related to city defense.

    He walked out of the city cave and outside the city. The wide moat and suspension bridge also formed a line of defense. On the bank of the moat more than ten steps away from the city wall, there was a sheep and horse wall that was five feet high and four feet thick. There were also sheep and horse walls.  There are crenels for the defenders to hide behind and shoot arrows, and there are spiked iron needles erected on the top of the wall.

    After crossing the moat, there are rows of horse guns. These horse guns are made by inserting many long spears into the shaft wood, and then the spear points are tilted forward in rows. The horse guns are used to prevent cavalry from attacking. The horse gun formations  Further outward are numerous excavated trap pits, and further forward from the trap pit are the antler trees.

    At this time, Liu Xinghu led his men and horses to confront the Jin soldiers more than 40 miles away. There were only a few hundred people in the defensive formation outside. Fang Jinshi looked at the observation tower on the city tower. The flags were flying above, and many Liao soldiers were carrying large stones on the city wall.  Liu Chengchuan had been preparing for many days, but he still felt it was not enough. He still asked the governor of Yunnei Prefecture to organize the people to go out from the west gate every day, continue to cut down trees on the mountain, and transport a large amount of stones into the city.

    Fang Jinshi was led by a general sent by the Governor of Yunnei Prefecture to view the city defense here. When he returned to the city gate, someone found Song Qian. He was led by a general wearing a Liao military uniform.  Accompanying the general who came down from the city gate, the general was chatting and laughing with Song Qian, and seemed to be familiar with him. Song Qian saw Fang Jinshi walking over and said, "Why are you here, Chief Fang?"

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "We have delivered the things and we should go back." Song Qian said: "I want to stay and help defend the city. I would also like to ask Mr. Fang to send someone to tell Prince Xiu after he goes back." Fang Jinshi said: "  The Jin army is powerful and the defense of the city is extremely dangerous. I hope Fifth Brother Song will think twice."

    Song Qian said: "Thank you for the kindness of leader Fang, but I have already made up my mind." Song Qian is a round person on the outside and square on the inside. On the surface, he is polite to others, but in fact he is very principled. After saying this, he turned to the accompanying person.  The general said: "Brother Xie, come here and meet the leader."

    The Liao general then approached Fang Jinshi. He smiled as he walked and said, "Yesterday I heard from my wife that the four sisters and brothers have come back. We haven't met each other yet. I was thinking about how I invited you to my home for dinner at noon, but I met you here."  Brothers." Fang Jinshi was a little surprised to hear what he said. Song Qian said from the side: "Brother Jie Wanli Jie has been my neighbor since I was a child, and I haven't seen him for many years."

    When Fang Jinshi heard Song Qian mention the name of the Liao general Jie Wanli, he suddenly understood that his wife was Liang Cuirong's second sister, and he and Jie Wanli were brother-in-law. Fang Jinshi hurriedly bowed and said: "It turns out that he is the second brother-in-law.  We should have come to the door to ask for an audience, but it is really rude."

    Xie Wanli walked over and put his arm around his shoulder and said with a smile, "We are all sisters and relatives, what's the right thing to do to be rude?" Fang Jinshi saw that Xie Wanli was an easy-going person and had a good impression of him.

    Jie Wanli accompanied Fang Jinshi and Song Qian around for a while. At noon, Liu Chengchuan sent someone to find Jie Wanli and Fang Jinshi to go to his Jiedushi Sizhong. He came to urge Fang Jinshi to get on the road quickly. Fang Jinshi was in that remote area.  After talking to him for a while, Liang Cuirong walked in from the outside holding a little girl about ten years old.

    This little girl has a thin body, dark eyes, shiny black hair, and is very young.She was young, but she exuded a spirit of purity. As soon as she walked in, she ran to Liu Chengchuan and cried: "Dad, I don't want to follow the fourth sister to Yan'an Mansion. I want to stay with dad."

    Liu Chengchuan smiled lovingly and took the cotton handkerchief in her hand to wipe away her tears. He smiled slightly and said, "Qing'er is just going to Yan'an Mansion with Fourth Sister for a few days. When you get tired of playing, I will ask Fourth Sister to take you back."  , Daddy wants to kill the golden dog to protect the people. Once the golden dog is beaten away, Qing'er will come back, okay?"

    The little girl stopped crying. Liu Chengchuan took her hand and turned to Fang Jinshi and Liang Cuirong and said, "You take her and leave in the afternoon. Her mother is also dead. She will follow you from now on." Fang Jinshi originally felt that he  He was just a child, and suddenly a little girl like this was given to him, making him suddenly feel that he had truly grown up and matured a lot.

    This little girl's name is Liu Huanqing. She is Liu Chengchuan's youngest child. She is only eleven years old. Her biological mother turned out to be a maid brought by Liu Chengchuan's wife from her parents' home. Liu Chengchuan eliminated the Khitan people from the tribal army a few years ago.  The power caused dissatisfaction among some people in Khitan. Liu Huanqing's biological mother was killed in these people's plan to murder Liu Chengchuan, and this daughter was Liu Chengchuan's youngest daughter. He liked this daughter very much, so he thought of letting Fang Jinshi and  Liang Cuirong took her to Song Dynasty to avoid trouble.

    Fang Jinshi bid farewell to Liu Chengchuan and reconciled with Wanli, and took Liang Cuirong to pull the little girl out of Yunneizhou City. Liu Chengchuan sent a carriage to pull the two thousand coins given to them. Fang Jinshi asked the little girl to sit on the carriage. He lowered his voice  He said to Liang Cuirong: "How do you plan to arrange your little sister?"

    Liang Cuirong said: "Take her to Yan'an Mansion first and then talk about it." Fang Jinshi nodded and said: "That's the only way it can be. What do you want to do with the money?" Liang Cuirong said: "How do you want to spend it externally?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "It is always inconvenient to carry it with you like this. Why don't you give some to the brothers who came together on Huimeng Mountain." Liang Cuirong smiled and said: "You are really generous. You decide what to do with these things."  ask me."

    Fang Jinshi rushed to the station where everyone was stationed and told Chen Lujun his idea. Chen Lujun said: "This money is given to you by General Liu. How can you let the brothers divide it? These one thousand brothers have sent two thousand copper coins."  What's the difficulty?" Fang Jinshi said: "Brothers come out together. Naturally, if we have money, we will share it, and if we have wine, we will all drink it, so we won't share it between you and me." Chen Lujun admired him even more when he saw how heroic and generous he was.

    Each of these thousand people received a piece of money. The high-ranking little bosses and the injured received more. The remaining few hundred pieces of money were still packed in horse-drawn carriages. Most of the brothers in Huimeng Mountain were from poor commoners.  Although the money is usually not much, it is not too little for these people, because Zhang Zong'e rarely gives out rewards to everyone. Even though Chen Lujun is a high-ranking leader, he still has to run an inn to do business.  Feed your family.

    Everyone was happy. Following Fang Jinshi on this trip, they not only solved the siege of Huimeng Mountain and rescued the troops of the headquarters, but also got money. Fang Jinshi's prestige in the hearts of these people naturally increased. Seeing him  The voice of greeting was much louder than before.
