    Chapter 48 Miracle (1) The city wall of Yizhou is already crumbling.  The biggest factor the defenders relied on was that after the heavy rains in late summer, Dong Dalang's offensives became stronger and stronger!  After the crude fighting tools they worked so hard to build were burned again, Dong Dalang's troops were too lazy to build any more attacking tools.  They just used the most cruel method of attacking the city with ants, driving the common people to become the vanguard, rushing forward desperately, one offensive after another, seemingly without a break.  The common people, both men and women, who were brought in by the army, were drafted out. Under the supervision of Dong Dalang's troops, they stumbled forward with loud cries.  The trenches were filled in and covered with walls.  The defenders on the city desperately threw down everything they could throw, shot out the last arrows, and poured down ladles of boiling water.  These were just common people carrying simple wooden ladders. They had no protection. They fell one by one under the city. Those who were not yet dead were screaming and rolling in the pile of corpses. The crowd couldn't move forward, so they retreated.  , what came oncoming was another rain of arrows from the Khitan Xi crossbowmen shooting from the mound, shooting them to death in rows in front of Changhao.  Some people struggled to jump down into the muddy moat to avoid the rain of arrows. One layer after another, those at the bottom were drowned alive. Those who tried to climb up were chopped down with swords and axes by Dong Dalang's soldiers guarding the edge.  As long as a person is driven across the trench, he will never be allowed to go back again!  More common people gathered in one place, surrounded by a forest of spears, waiting for their turn to set out in the next wave.  Fill in this flesh and blood slaughterhouse.  The sound of crying also spread across the wilderness.  The tens of thousands of people between the two states of Zhuo and Yi have become human shields that consume the rolling wood, stones and war equipment of the Yizhou defenders!  On the mound, Xiao Qian and a group of Khitan Xi soldiers just looked at everything in front of them expressionlessly.  The walls of Yizhou seemed to be covered with blood and minced flesh.  In their minds, they were just calculating how many lives they would have to take in order to exhaust the defenders to the limit, and finally Dong Dalang's troops would launch the final blow.  Few people could see into the heart of the cruel scene in front of them.  In this era, sieges and sieges are so brutal.  Most of them, the defenders of Nanjing Road, had participated in the great turmoil in Liaodong in the past few years. The chaotic and cruel scene was ten times more than what it was here!  Behind Xiao Qian, dozens of leather drums were beating loudly, and the sound of clappers and golden drums mingling with each other made it difficult to hear clearly what people were saying to each other.  Although this was not a battle belonging to the Khitan Xi people, these generals still felt their blood boiling from watching it from a high place.  This Yizhou City will be filled in soon!  Xiao Qianju was sitting on a leather horse, surrounded by soldiers guarding him, looking at everything in front of him leisurely and contentedly.  He just smiled and said: "Guo Yaoshi and Dong Dalang are father and son. I don't know why there is such a big hatred!" Among the sound of the golden drum, the generals around him only heard a vague outline of his laughter.  But everyone burst into laughter immediately.  To them, Yaoshi Guo and Dong Dalang were of no importance, and it would be best if they were both dead.  It seems that King Xiao will catch Guo and Dong in the two states of Zhuo and Yi when their strength is greatly reduced.  However, no one had much interest in these two states, so they were ordered to stay behind. There was nothing they could do, and they could not afford to lose the barrier land of the Song Dynasty.  More people still hope that this war will end soon and everyone will return to Yanjing to repair.  Whether the Khitan Army or the Xi Army should be left to garrison Zhuoyi Prefecture is what everyone is most concerned about.  Vague rumors have surfaced, saying that King Xiao may leave part of the Khitan Army to garrison Zhuoyi Prefecture and lead the main force of the Xi Army back to Yanjing City.  The meaning behind this rumor cannot be taken too seriously.  To the Khitan generals, Yelu Dashi was certainly a hero, but Xiao Qian was also a hero.  Yelu Dashi is the eighth generation grandson of Emperor Abaoji, but isn't the Xiao family also descended from Daliao for generations?  Not to mention the Queen Mother Xiao who brought the power of Daliao to the top!  Everyone tacitly understood that if anything happened to him when he returned to Yanjing City, the worst thing would be for the two of them not to help each other!  In their selfish minds, they may not have such thoughts.  It may not be a good thing for the Liao Dynasty in the end of the world, if one of the two heroes can be left to act with all his strength instead of being afraid of each other and restraining each other.  No matter what, it¡¯s better to end everything in front of you as soon as possible and return to Yanjing City quickly. Everyone is really tired of staying here.  Just watching the Ever-Victorious Army split into two and fighting each other, they had neither achievements to build nor the luxury equipment of Yanjing City.  It's better to go back, recharge your batteries, and then fight for Daliao!  Under the mound, several fast horses were flying through the crowd, rushing towards here. The knights on the horses had colorful pheasant tails on their iron helmets. They had no armor on their bodies, but there were all kinds of bits and pieces hanging on them.  They were standing, and their weapons were no more than a bow and a sword, and everyone seemed to be unusually strong and agile.  It is the most famous Yuanlanzi Cavalry among the Liao Army!  They didn¡¯t even look at the ever-victorious army who was preparing to attack.The pawn passed straight through them.  Wherever the horse came, everyone ducked. The common people who gathered together to wait for death could not escape. They would whip or even swing their swords at the horse.  A few weak screams were aroused, but in an instant they were drowned in the sound of golden drums and shouts of death that filled the vicinity of Yizhou City.  When I ran closer, I saw that these distant cavalry troops were dusty and covered in mud and water.  The horse under its crotch was also spitting out white foam, its belly heaved violently, and its body was dripping with sweat as if it had taken a bath.  Horses are Yuan Lanzi's life, but these cavalrymen have squeezed out every last bit of strength from their mounts!  They headed straight for the mound with Xiao Qian's flag hanging high. They rolled off their saddles and dismounted from their horses at the foot of the mound. They didn't care about anything around them and ran straight up with their helmets on.  Those standing around the mound were all Xiao Qian's personal soldiers, shouting and asking questions, while those in the distance just shouted angrily: "There is an urgent military matter!" Xiao Qian's personal guards did not dare to neglect.  Those who report military information from Yuanlanzi or report to the commander-in-chief with a slight delay will not be pardoned for serious crimes in the army.  He immediately told them to wait a moment, and quickly passed the information up layer by layer.  The noise here finally alerted the Khitan Xiren generals who were crowding behind Xiao Qian, and they couldn't help but turn around.  Now between the two states of Zhuo and Yi, the world is almost dominated by their army and horses.  The Song people are still far away in Xiongzhou, and there are sentinels from far away from here to Xiongzhou. The Song people's brigade shows no sign of dispatching at all.  Is there any other urgent military situation?  Many people¡¯s hearts sank. Could it be that something had finally happened in Yanjing City?  Xiao Qian just sat there, expressionless, and even waved lazily to ask the few people from far away to come to him and report the military situation.  He gave the military order, and his personal guards surrounding the mound suddenly moved out of the way. Under the various looks of more than a hundred Khitan people, these long-distance guards passed through them and rushed straight to Xiao Qian.  .  Everyone watched as several sentinels knelt down in front of Xiao Qian, gave a hasty salute, and then stepped forward to report the military situation.  Everyone was attentive and seemed to want to hear something.  But amidst the deafening sound of the golden drum, what can be heard clearly!  Xiao Qian¡¯s back was just sitting still.  There was silence for a moment, and then he waved his hand to several distant people to retreat and rest.  Everyone looked at Xiao Qian eagerly, but no one dared to step forward and ask questions.  Xiao Qian held his knees, stood up slowly, and stretched.  Then he struck hard with his hand, and the sound of the golden drum behind him stopped.  Without the deafening drums, the shouts and cries on the battlefield became twice as loud.  In other places, whether it was the Khitan Xi army or the Ever Victorious Army, they all looked towards the mound with Xiao Qian's banner.  At the top of Yizhou City, the defenders didn't know what had happened here. Without the enemy's drums to cheer them up, their morale inexplicably improved. More rolling logs and rocks were thrown down, causing ants to cling to the city head.  The people are strong and strong, and they are rolling down like soup and snow!  But Xiao Qian didn't seem to care. He didn't even bother to look at the top of Yizhou City. He just turned around and waved, summoning all his generals to come over and form a circle around him.  Finally, a friendly and sarcastic general couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, what's the military situation? Let Yuanlanzi report it directly?" Xiao Qian smiled: "The mother-in-law of Zhuozhou is lost." The crowd fell silent, and suddenly a loud burst of loud noises broke out.  Wow!  At this time, Dong Dalang was not with Xiao Qian. He quietly led the main force of each battalion of the Changsheng Army and squatted not far behind the mound.  Everyone ate solid food in silence and kept their spirits up, waiting for the final attack.  Dong Dalang wore two layers of armor and replaced his boots with hemp shoes. He looked as if he was ready to wear strong armor and lead the troops to kill the city.  Along with the soldiers under his command, they also silently chewed dry biscuits and drank water from the water hyacinth.  Hearing the sound of the golden drum suddenly stop, his expression moved and he looked towards the distance where Xiao Qian was.  The trusted generals around him also gathered around and looked over with Dong Dalang.  Then he couldn't help but ask Dong Dalang: "Who cares, what's going on? We fought desperately, and the people of the two states of Zhuoyi also committed evil, with so many casualties. These guys ridiculed the Khitans and even beat drums to cheer them up.  Are you too lazy?" Dong Dalang's face was as dark as iron, and he just lowered his head and continued to chew the dry biscuits: "Don't talk anymore, we only want Yizhou! Other things have nothing to do with us!" "Who robbed Zhuozhou?  ? How come we didn't pay back the sentry troops in Baigou Henan? " "Why did the Song army suddenly change their temper and rectify it so quickly? I don't believe it!  ? If the Jurchens arrive in Zhuozhou, then Yanjing City" "What should I do, your Majesty? Fight or defend? Leave Yizhou alone, let's go back to Yanjing as soon as possible!" The people below were all confused!  There was a chorus of shouting, and the warriors' voices were loud. The mixture was mixed together, and the sound was not much lower than the sound of the golden drum that was beating like thunder just now!  Zhuozhou XuanWhen Xuanxuan was lost, whether it was the Song people or the Jurchens, they robbed Zhuozhou.  This situation is extremely bad.  Based on this, the Song people established the southern barrier of Yanjing and the Liao Kingdom were already in danger.  More than ten thousand of them were hanging alone in the two states of Zhuo and Yi. They had no support and were completely unable to compete with the Song army!  All Liao soldiers and generals knew that the Song army could not succeed in field battles, but it was very capable in defending the city.  The people of the Song Dynasty had many weapons, military resources, and archers.  Once Zhuozhou is captured, there is basically no hope of taking it back.  Only the whole army immediately retreated to Yanjing City, backed up the city along the Gaoliang River, and had a final decisive battle with the Song people!  If it were the Jurchens, the situation would be ten times worse, which means that the Jurchen cavalry had already flooded Yanjing City and reached here.  In the end, Daliao was completely lost. They had become an outright lone army. There was no third way out except death and surrender!  All the relatives and descendants in Yanjing City have also become slaves of the Jurchens!
