The main force of the Liao army pressed on it vigorously, so that Dong Kuang no longer dared to ignore it, and quickly mobilized the military horses at the north gate to deal with the current battle. However, Sun Tu, after seeing this change, made the decision to go to the West Gate, and he always felt that the real focus of the Liao army today should be on the East and West Cities!

After only two sentences of explanation to Dong Kuang, Sun Tu hurriedly led people down to the city, closely following Wu Song's footsteps and heading west. Half an hour later, as soon as he saw the western city wall in front of him, he heard a burst of killing sounds coming from outside, and this movement was not much lower than when the Liao army attacked the north gate before. This made his spirit even more violent, and he rode his horse like a fly, and pounced on the city wall.

When Sun Tu took three steps and made two steps to sweep up the city, he happened to see several lassoes flying up from below, firmly entangled between the female wall and the fortress, which made him instantly understand that it should be the legendary Feiyan rider who can use ropes to climb the city to attack here.

In fact, although the simple pontoon bridge built with a ladder allowed the Liao army to pass through the moat several zhang wide, it still had shortcomings, that is, the load-bearing capacity of the ladder was not enough, and it was impossible to let those siege weapons such as rushing cars hitting wood or Lu public cars passing. So what the Liao army can do at this moment is to go to the city in the simplest way, that is, with the superior skills of Feiyan Cavalry.

Below the west gate, there were more than a thousand Feiyan riders swarming up, and they had already abandoned their horses and walked early, but they were still vigorous, like tigers and leopards descending from the mountain, and rushed straight to the city. Specially made ropes, as thick as an arm, were tossed high by them, and they flew up several feet of the city wall at once, and then they were right between the battlements, and then they were fixed with a forceful pull, so that these elites could quickly climb up with the ropes as if they were walking on the ground.

The skill of throwing a rope with one hand to accurately set the battlements in the middle of the city is something that even idle strong men can't do, let alone use it to climb the city as quickly as apes. When the defenders of the city saw this scene, they were all so shocked that their faces were bloodless, and they shouted again and again, until someone shouted loudly for them to quickly cut the ropes, and the soldiers reacted and hurriedly drew their knives and slashed the ropes.

However, these ropes are specially made by the Liao army, which is not only extremely long and thick, but also extremely tough. It was a city-breaking weapon that soaked the rope in tung oil for several months, and it took a few steaming and drying to officially reach the hands of the Feiyan cavalry elite soldiers, and how could it be cut with a few knives. Although the soldiers hurriedly slashed hard, they only left a few holes in the rope, and there was still a long way to go before the rope was completely cut.

And time and circumstance obviously can't give them a chance to break the rope. Because the Liao army below had shot a large number of arrows straight upwards, several soldiers who were patronizing the rope cutting were accidentally shot to the ground. And their screams caused the others to panic for a while, and they subconsciously hid back, and the rope was naturally less likely to be chopped.

The city wall seven or eight zhang high was not idle at the feet of these Feiyan cavalry soldiers possessed by apes, and in just a moment, the first Liao soldier had emerged from below. Although he was immediately stabbed by the defenders who rushed to the side of the city wall, at this moment, several more people rose from below, and one of them suddenly jumped up and stood firmly at the head of the city.

This person's sudden arrival in the city was naturally a great encouragement to the Liao army, but it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the defenders, which made them all a little dazed. Fortunately, at this moment, Wu Song and Luda led the Qingzhou soldiers to rush over, seeing that he was about to jump down, Wu Song had already rushed over with an arrow, and the knife in his left hand blocked his attack, and the knife in his right hand had swept out like lightning, and with a pop, he gave him a big disembowelment, making him fall on his back with a scream.

And the Liao army that jumped up next to him was also quickly taken over by Luda, who was rushing to kill, brandishing a Zen staff. Once the sixty-pound Zen staff in his hand was sexually violent, it was really fierce and abnormal, and he only heard the whining and howling endlessly, and none of the Liao troops who came to the city could stand on their feet, so they were all swept down.

But the two of them can only take care of one side after all, and now that the entire city wall of nearly seven or eight miles is constantly rising everywhere, how can the two of them be completely blocked with one staff and two swords? After only a short period of fighting, the defense line of the city wall was finally broken a little, and then three people, five people, ten people...... The Liao army continued to enter the city and quickly formed a queue, killing the defenders difficult to parry.

At this time, it reflects the gap in the real combat power of the two sides. Although the number of defenders was ten times that of the Liao army, they still couldn't resist their endless momentum of going to the city, and even in the panic, some people were killed by the enemy and kept retreating, giving up more space at the head of the city.

"Qingzhou Army, bow and crossbow coverage!" With Sun Tu's loud shout, the Qingzhou soldiers, who were also a little at a loss, retreated decisively, and then many people showed their crossbows that they had been carrying with them, and without any hesitation, they released random arrows towards the city wall in front.

The rain of arrows flew overwhelmingly, instantly making the enemy and me scream at the same time, and the offensive and defensive formations that the Liao army had just formed also dispersed. What was even more frightened was those soldiers of the victorious army, who really didn't expect that the Qingzhou soldiers, as allies, would release such random arrows completely regardless of their own safety.

As the so-called bystander Qing, Sun Tu was on the city wall, and after seeing such a scene, he did not quickly join the battle group like others, but carefully observed the situation here. However, it was found that the Liao army was able to expand its advantage so much, precisely because the defenders did not dare to release arrows at will because of their own brothers, which made them even the distance between the two sides with only a short weapon to go to the city, and then with their own excellent combat power, they naturally gained the upper hand.

Therefore, he immediately made a decision and let his soldiers decisively carry out indiscriminate coverage and indiscriminate shooting, first suppressing the arrogance of the enemy army, and then making further counterattacks.

After receiving Sun Tu's order, the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army did not hesitate at all, and made full use of the crossbow in their hands to shoot out waves of arrows, not only shooting down the Liao army that had already entered the city, but even the guys who had just emerged from below were shot down one by one, and the situation was reversed in an instant. The only price was to shoot down hundreds of victorious troops as well.

But at this time, Sun Tu couldn't take care of these details, and ordered again: "Kill the past, clear the Liao army, and leave no one!" Defend the walls! ”

Although the number of Qingzhou soldiers is not much, but the battle is heroic, and quite disciplined, often a group of three or five people advance and retreat together, its combat power from the very victorious army these can be called the guerrilla scattered guys comparable, plus the Liao army has just been hit hard, really can't react for a while, it really can't resist, the people who go to the city are killed, the rear of the head, and the bow and crossbow are aimed at the fierce shot, so that the defenders regain control of the city wall.

It was only at this time that the victorious army defending the city woke up like a dream, shouted and rushed forward, cooperated with the Qingzhou army to defend the city wall, and once again carried out a new round of tug-of-war with the enemy. At the same time, the anger and hostility that they had just generated in their hearts had also dissipated most of them, after all, judging from the current results, Sun Tu's order was undoubtedly the most correct, otherwise, I am afraid that the city wall here would really fall. Compared with the survival of the city wall, the lives of more than 100 brothers are really nothing.

But even so, the danger here has not yet passed, because the offensive of the Liao army has not stopped, and there are still many soldiers who continue to go up the rope. Obviously, they also got a death order, and they wanted to climb up to the city at all costs. And at this moment, the Liao army below also understood that they could no longer have reservations, so the dense rain of arrows was thrown up again, but this time they couldn't even take care of hurting their own people, so they once again brought serious trouble to the defenders, so that they were distracted and self-defending, so they were not embarrassed.

Above the city wall, Wu Song ran like flying, spreading his two knives, constantly chopping and kicking the rising enemy, but his face was also solemn for a while, and he suddenly shouted: "General, if you go on like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it for too long, so you have to think about it." ”

"This rope is sturdy, and it took a lot of effort for the Sprinkle family to break one." Luda also echoed loudly at this time, and at the same time, he slammed down with a Zen staff, smashing the Liao army that had come up to the city into the city.

Sun Tu's eyes were fixed on the black ropes, and suddenly his nose twitched again: "What strange smell...... There is something strange about this rope. Do you have a torch, bring it quickly, light it and try it! ”

Hearing Sun Tu's order, a soldier immediately lit a torch from the rear and sent it up, and someone took it and came to the rope. At the moment when the firelight came into contact with the rope, a surprising scene occurred, and the black arm-thick rope actually ignited a flame and quickly spread down the rope. Then, the Liao army, who was climbing on the rope and coming straight to the city, let out a scream and exclamation.

In an instant, everyone quickly understood. This rope, which is almost not afraid of swords and axes, has such a big weakness, it is actually afraid of fire! It turns out that these ropes have been soaked in tung oil for a long time, and they have long absorbed the oiliness, and they have become a large flammable thing after steaming and drying many times.

At this moment, the situation was reversed in an instant, and without Sun Tu's order again, the surrounding defenders had decisively lit torches and went straight to the rope. A moment later, dozens of burning fire dragons hung on the city wall to the west of Zhuozhou, and the Liao troops hanging on them let out a series of screams, letting go and falling, either dead or disabled.

This hard-won opportunity to go to the city finally failed completely, and the crisis in Xicheng was finally resolved.

At this time, the sun is slowly turning west, and another day of offensive and defensive battles is about to end with the arrival of night......
