    In front of the Jiazi Fort, firelight and smoke filled the sky, and the smell of burning smell wafted in waves.  Such a tragic scene of killing has rarely been seen since the Jurchens raised their troops and attacked the key passes of famous Liao cities along the way.  The level of city defense of the Liao people was originally rougher than that of the Song people.  Although the Liao people's combat effectiveness continued to decline, they still adhered to the tradition of conducting field battles before the battle, and did not spend much thought on defending the city.  When the Jurchens started their army, they had few soldiers. The Liao people had the idea of ????defeating them all. They repeatedly mobilized large armies to engage in outdoor battles with the Jurchens' horses, but they were defeated time and time again.  After the main force was exhausted and the Lord of Liao fled far away.  Everyone in the Liao Kingdom was frightened, and the Jurchen cavalry was approaching, looking for surrender, or running wildly.  There was no significant defensive battle involving Yingcheng.  Not to mention the Jurchen West Route Army, which marched all the way westward and swept up to the location of the Liao Tailling Ridge Recruitment Division.  Along the way, there are deserts outside the Great Wall, or grassland areas.  There are basically no strong castles.  Their experience in siege warfare was far inferior to their field combat skills.  In front of the Jiazi Fort, Guo Rong's troops were actually led by the Song Army and equipped with a large number of defensive equipment unique to the Song Army.  Coupled with the fact that Meng Nuan was such a ruthless guy, the front of the Jiazi Fort was suddenly turned into a place where corpses were accumulated.  Let the Jurchen soldiers and horses see their true colors how cruel the siege battle is! ????????????? But Yin Shuke still had an iron complexion. He reined in his horse and stood under the flag, loudly giving orders to beat the drums, urging the Jurchen heavy armored infantry warriors to rush forward and attack the city.  Wanyan Xiyin glanced at Yin Shuke and wanted to say something, but in the end he looked ugly and did not speak.  Although Wanyan Xiyin¡¯s ability to lead an army in battle has always been inferior to famous generals such as Yin Shuke and Wanyan Loushi.  But at this moment, among the Jurchen generals, who is really serious?  He can also see the current battlefield situation at a glance.  Now in front of the Jiazi Fort, smoke and flames are rising into the sky.  It also blocked the sight of the defenders on the A-shaped fort.  The heavy armored infantry soldiers had already rushed to the trench. If they took a step further, they would be able to reach the fort wall.  The two-winged Jurchen light cavalry can also dismount and follow, using strong bows and crossbows to suppress the city.  With the bravery of the Jurchen warriors, there is still a chance of success.  At this time, if the heavily armored infantry warrior retreats under the enemy's crossbow, the casualties will not be light, so why not give it a damn fight!  And the defenders didn¡¯t know why, and the overall defense rhythm was also messed up.  The fighting in front of the A-shaped fort was like a pot of porridge, except for the B-shaped fort's support with crossbows and crossbows.  Yingzhou City Fortress has not dispatched troops and horses to fight back at this moment.  Normally, after a wave of siege troops and horses are defeated, the vanguard in the city will attack to prevent the enemy from retreating far away and establish a starting base closer to the city.  Moreover, siege equipment abandoned on the battlefield must be burned and destroyed to prevent it from being used by the enemy again.  People are not made of iron. When facing battle, you will not feel that a fierce battle is over.  Many armored warriors consume a lot of energy.  The defenders were also injured, and they had to immediately replenish the defenders in the fort. The consumed ordnance had to be transported out, and the wounded had to be transported out. The outer fort was too small, and there were strong enemies outside. There were wounded people inside, groaning and wailing around.  It has a great impact on military morale.  Therefore, if the outer fortress can persist, it must be supported by the army and horses in the city at any time.  But I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with Yingzhou City, but they didn¡¯t come to help at this favorable opportunity!  With this opportunity in front of us, how could we just let it pass by?  And in the siege battle, once you decide to attack the city, you must take advantage of the opportunity.  Attacking with flesh and earth, wood, metal, and iron, after several advances and retreats, the morale of the army immediately sank, and it was difficult to cheer up again - before the city was broken, the ratio of casualties between the attackers and defenders was really very different.  If you can't take it down at once, you can only encircle it for a long time, prepare more siege equipment, restore the morale of the army, raise more military resources, and then try to break the city - or simply encircle it until the defenders have no more supplies and can no longer defend it.  .  Once you start attacking the city, since there is still a chance to break the city, you can't let it go easily!  Wanyan Xiyin glanced at the battlefield situation, and couldn't help but glance at Yin Shuke, who had a gloomy face, and listened to the deafening drum beating of the Chinese army.  Think about it for Yin Shu, today's attack on the city is probably because the man surnamed Meng is guarding the Jiazi Fort. This man surnamed Meng had secretly communicated with Yin Shu, and he risked his life to test it and take it first.  The Jiazi Fort couldn't be better.  But I didn¡¯t expect that this man surnamed Meng would be so ruthless and brutal.  The fierce scene in front of the Jiazi Fort made them, the veteran generals, feel slightly shaken.  If we retreat at this moment, the Jurchen army and horses, which have always been indomitable, will suffer a slight setback.  The morale of the army has dropped. I don't know how long it will take to delay the attack on Yingzhou - now that Zong Han is waiting, how can he afford to delay?  Taking advantage of the fact that reinforcements from Yingzhou City Fortress did not arrive for some reason, the defenders' defense rhythm was somewhat out of sync.  And the two Jurchen soldiers and horses were approaching the little fortress of this thief at the cost of their lives, so why not attack it again!  With this silver skill, he can always keenly grasp the smallest opportunities on the battlefield, and make decisions very quickly.  No wonder even though he and Zong Han are closer by blood,But John always loves the guy from a small family like Zhong more!  Thinking of this, Wanyan Xiyin couldn't help but have an idea in her mind. If the mother-in-law is defeated for a while, how will you explain yourself in front of Zong Han?  Wanyan Xiyin was thinking about his own thoughts here, but Yin Shuke's figure was frozen, staring at the battlefield in front of him, all his mind focused on it, focusing on the hundreds of people using the cover of smoke and flames to attack the armor-shaped fort.  On the Jurchen warriors!  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT off the Jurchen's fort, the Jurchen Mou Ke Hulu was a short and stocky man.  Although it is not high, it is very wide horizontally.  He was wearing two layers of heavy armor, and every step he took seemed to be driven into the ground.  He was breathing heavily under his visor, and from time to time he gave out short shouts, urging the soldiers around him to hurry up and get closer to the city while the smoke was still thick.  The Jurchen infantry warriors, panting like Hulu, used their fastest speed after wearing armor to keep up with the group step by step.  Beside them, the Jurchen Qingqi have already dismounted and passed at high speed from both sides.  Wearing only half armor, everyone holds a strong bow, holds three arrows in his hand, and bites one in his mouth.  He rushed to the front in a blink of an eye.  At this moment, near the trench, hundreds of Cangtou barely managed to stabilize their position despite the pressure, desperately firing arrows towards the A-shaped fort.  The rain of arrows shot from the side swept over them, and from time to time someone would tilt their body and fall into the dense pile of corpses in the trench, making the road through more stable.  The Jurchen warriors were pressing forward, but these Cangtou soldiers did not dare to retreat and guarded the passage.  In the smoke, with red eyes, he fired the arrows in his hand as fast as possible, regardless of what he was shooting at.  Others abandoned their bows and jumped into the ditch to stabilize the temporary passage built with earthen and wooden corpses.  The Jurchen Muke Nahai who led these light cavalry was the first to jump over, turned around and shouted loudly: "Hulu, are you a girl? Are you so slow? If you don't get on me, I will!" Nahai's men followed him.  He passed by, stood still, and immediately fired a round of rapid fire. He held the feather arrow between his fingers and held it in his mouth and shot it rapidly toward the head of the A-shaped fort.  Nahai shouted while ejaculating: "Hu Lu, I will give you a set of women's clothes! Just stay in my tent and be Ya Haizhen!" Hu Lu roared under his mask, like a wild beast.  He quickened his pace suddenly and crossed the ditch in one fell swoop, behind him.  The Jurchen infantrymen and heavily armored men came in one after another. When they passed by Nahai, Hu Lu pushed away his mask and smiled ferociously at him.  Then he picked a long ladder that had not yet been knocked down and rushed towards it!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~ On the A-shaped fort, after a defensive battle that could be called a massacre.  Under the sky full of smoke and flames, the defenders' faces were all blackened, and they were holding on to the crenels and panting.  Meng Nuan walked around holding a long knife, saying a few words of encouragement from time to time.  Although it was basically a one-sided massacre, so many arrows were shot and so many crossbows were fired.  He also threw down so many heavy gray bottles and oil cans, pouring down the golden juice from the cauldron.  Everyone is exhausted.  Listening to the screams and screams of the people who were attacking the city, some were so exhausted that they could hardly stand up straight.  At this time, many people tried their best to look in the direction of Yingzhou City Fortress amid the smoke and flames, thinking that they should finally hear the news of the arrival of reinforcements.  After watching it for a while, I saw that the Yingzhou City Fortress was closed as before. Someone couldn't help but yelled: "How can you be so stupid and just wait for us to die? Why should we risk our lives? Just flash our eyes."  Can we just wait for death in this big fortress?" "When one person speaks, everyone responds.  Even though these dozens of defenders were Meng Nuan's confidants, they followed Meng Nuan as far as the horizon.  But he couldn't hold back the resentment he felt at this moment.  Someone began to encourage Meng Nuan: "General, are we still trying to hold on here? We are willing to die, and Yingzhou is not our inheritance now! Kaicheng surrendered to the Jurchens, and the Jurchens now know that we are  We should be treated kindly for our abilities. It is better than dying here for the princess of the Liao Dynasty! No matter what the circumstances, my grandfather saved his life, but he did not receive any benefit from the Liao emperor!  Holding a long sword, he looked back at the direction of Yingzhou City Fortress from time to time. At this time, he coldly replied: "Go and be driven by the Jurchen Tatars, and die under the city wall like these babies? In this world, our own brothers are the worst."  Reliable!" As soon as he finished his sentence, he heard a sudden thunderous sound of drums coming from the direction of the Jurchen army.  Meng Nuan was startled, threw herself at the battlement, and tried her best to look in the direction of the Jurchen army from the smoke. The fire under the city still had not subsided, and some long ladders were also on fire. They were burning happily and filled with smoke.  The strength of the Jurchen army is not clearly visible anyway.  After a short pause, the rain of arrows that had been passing over the city suddenly became denser.  A sergeant who stood up straight like Meng Nuan and looked out was hit by an arrow in the door, and rolled down the fort wall without a sound.  Meng Nuan suddenly shouted: "The Jurchens themselves are coming to attack the city! Push down all those long ladders! Damn it, ?We need a hard fight!  " When the sergeants heard Meng Nuan shouting, everyone was stunned. The casualties under the city were so tragic. The Jurchens really didn't care about their lives, so they dared to attack the city? Under Meng Nuan's loud orders, someone wanted to attack the city.  He stood up and pushed the long ladder that was still burning against the battlement. But outside the castle, he heard the heavy sound of footsteps in the smoke. He didn't know how many people crossed the ditch, and rain of arrows rushed towards the top of the city like locusts.  Even though they were wearing armor, some people were hit by arrows in vital parts and fell down screaming. The arrows were getting denser and denser, and under the pressure of the arrows, dozens of long ladders could be knocked down in an instant.  Go down? At this moment, in the smoke and flames, we can already see the forlorn figures below the fort. The heavily armored warriors are all wrapped in armor like iron knots, and they are rushing towards the long ladder that is still leaning against the fort wall.  , suppressing them tightly. There are even more soldiers holding long swords and short axes. Behind these heavy armored infantry warriors, there are even more archers lined up in the smoke, and rows of feather arrows are shooting straight.  The arrows fired from the side of the Y-shaped fort were not broken, and the screams of people being hit by arrows could be heard from under the fort, but no one stepped back even half a step.  The rain of arrows on the Jiazi Fort never slowed down at all! Meng Nuan knew in his heart that it was precisely because the reinforcements from Yingzhou Castle had not arrived that they gave the Jurchens the chance to attack the city again quickly as long as there were hundreds of cavalry from Yingzhou Castle.  Attacking directly, with the protection of two forts, how could the Jurchens stand in front of the fort? But the Jurchens were unheard of and unseen. They clearly saw thousands of people throwing themselves into the city and dying under the fort.  Like a mountain of blood, it didn't stop for a moment before attacking the city again! Even if it was wearing armor, didn't you see that there was not much difference between those wearing armor and those who were not wearing armor?  Near the crenellation, someone shouted: "General, surrender!"  There is no need to risk your life for that bird princess!  We support you, general, so how can we ask for a family background among the Jurchens!  " People around Meng Nuan all turned their eyes over. They seemed to be waiting for Meng Nuan to say surrender. Those who were killed just now were all the people who attacked the city to drive the Jurchens. If he kills so many more now  The Jurchens were afraid that they would not be able to surrender at that time. Who in the north didn't know how cruel the Jurchens were? But Meng Nuan just squatted behind the crenel with a sullen face and did not speak for a while.  The soldier, under the cover of arrows, rushed to the long ladder, stepped on the unquenched flames, stepped on the scorched corpses under his feet, and climbed up the long ladder ~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Above Yingzhou City Fortress, Guo Rong  Together with all the generals, they all rushed in front of the crenel. Their view here was slightly better than that of the A-shaped fort wrapped in smoke. They saw the Jurchen army beating drums, and hundreds of Jurchen soldiers rushed to the front of the A-shaped fort again.  At this moment, it was too late to attack in Kaicheng. Even the generals who had fought a deadly battle with the Jurchen Tatars in Yandi were shocked to death in front of the fort.  It was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood. These hundreds of Jurchen soldiers and horses, without any attacking equipment, relied on the arrows of hundreds of archers to cover themselves, stepped through the sea of ??fire, rushed through the smoke, and fired arrows from the side of the Y-shaped fort again!  Under the rain, the Jurchen troops and horses, together with the Cangtou Paiji and other auxiliary troops, rushed towards the A-shaped fort, and people were shot down one by one. Even the crossbows were used in the B-shaped fort. As long as the huge crossbow arrows hit, a few lives could always be taken away.  . People kept falling among the thick piles of corpses, but these Jurchen Tatars still roared and charged forward!  The defense equipment can still be defended. After all, there are not enough offensive equipment to rely on, and the Jurchen Tatars are not heavenly soldiers. However, the fight between Meng Nuan and the Jurchens is unexpected.  No one dares to say how much they were willing to fight for Guo Rong before the war. Many military generals had selfish motives for Meng Nuan, and they could surrender at this time. Anyway, he was an outsider under Guo Rong.  What difference does it make when we descend to the Jurchen Tatars? We can see that the Jurchen heavy-armed warriors have already rushed to the long ladder and started climbing, but there is still no movement in the Jiazi Fort. They are afraid that the Jiazi Fort will be lost today.  The beginning of the war was full of twists and turns, but unexpectedly, the outer fortress was lost in one day! Guo Rong turned around and glared at Ni Jie, who was also silent. If he chose the front and attacked in time, he might still be able to keep his armor.  Zibao, the Jurchen army and horses were driven back. But who dared to fill in this guy easily? Guo Rong also understood this. Although he was angry, he just frowned and stamped his feet.  Throw away the outer fortress and the cityThe morale of the army was shaken.  How long can Yingzhou last?  What's going on in the south?  Have reinforcements been moved?  Under the banner of the Jurchen Central Army, Wanyan Xiyin breathed out, turned to Yin Shuke and smiled: "It seems that we have won it. This man named Meng, after all, does not dare to be in front of the Jurchen army"  But even if he surrenders, he will have no merit. I just want to send him to Yi Cangtou But this is a silver art, and you have the final say. It's up to you to buy horse bones for a thousand dollars.  ¡± Recently, Wanyan Xiyin learned to read some Chinese books, and he learned an allusion about buying horse bones for a thousand gold, and he immediately showed off.  Unexpectedly, Mingzhu made a secret move, and Yin Shuke frowned and snorted: "What bird and horse bones? The battle is not over yet, and this fort has not been captured yet!" On the A-shaped fort, Meng Nuan suddenly stood up and raised his arms.  Called: "Straight bitch, a real man, why do you have to succumb to others? As long as brothers like us are here, the world is so big, where can we go? How can we be so happy! We can also lay down some foundation for our own family, no more  Look at people¡¯s faces! I¡¯m too lazy to yell at people anymore because of the Jurchens!¡± ¡°Knock the Jurchens down!¡± While shouting, he already raised a stack of gray bottles and smashed them hard.  Go down.  The defenders in the fort were actually Meng Nuan's close confidants.  Meng Nuan acted like this, and they no longer thought about anything. They straightened up one after another, prepared various protective gears and threw them downwards.  The heavily armored Jurchen warriors who were already on the ladder, amidst the gray bottles, fire pots, rocks, and rolling logs, were like being driven to death by them. They let out uncontrollable screams and rolled down the long ladder one after another.  !  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
