Yingzhou City.

In summer, the yellow sand is all over the sky. Dust billowed up.

Yang Yue, Zhang Xuanheng, and Wei Jiyan led the troops to converge and formed a flanking attack on Yingzhou City from the northeast.

In the past few days, Yang Yue ordered Xu Lin to lead his elite troops to clear all enemy strongholds near Yingzhou.

At the beginning, when Zhang Xuanheng led his troops to Yingzhou City quietly with lightning speed, he had already tried to send elite troops to attack the city, but Su Lige was well defended in the city, no matter how hard Zhang Xuanheng tried, he still did not capture Yingzhou.

The surprise attack plan failed, and the only way to attack the city was to adopt other strategies.

At present, Yang Yue has a proper siege method, and is patiently waiting for what opportunity will happen.

In the city of Yingzhou, the coach Sulig climbed to the top of the city several times to watch the enemy situation outside the city.

Gao Baochang and others were defeated suddenly in Huaiyuan Town, so that Zhang Xuanheng led his troops to take Liaohe City lightly, and at present, Yang Yue personally led his troops to Pinglu City.

Now there are only 70,000 defenders in the city, and 30,000 remnants of the soldiers who have fled from the counties near the prefecture, and in the face of more than 100,000 enemy troops outside the city, Sulig is in trouble, and he has no confidence to lead his troops to defeat the enemy.

He had sent messengers to Taiyuan Mansion several times for help, but only the fastest messenger returned, Han Xifan ordered him to hold on, waiting for the army to the east of the river to seize Youzhou, open the passage to the outside of the Guan, and naturally send troops to rescue.

Knowing Han Xifan's words, Su Lige scolded his mother angrily, Youzhou has Yuan Madge leading the troops to guard, and the generals sent by Taiyuan Mansion will be able to open up the passage to Yingzhou, it is difficult to predict.

Yang Yue, Zhang Xuanheng, Wei Jiyan and other generals, led more than 100,000 elite soldiers, have appeared outside Yingzhou, launching attacks at any time.

The situation is pressing, Yang Yue led the troops to break the city, and he and the soldiers in Yingzhou City must have worries about their lives.

Sometimes, Su Lige even had the idea of leading his troops to surrender to Yang Yue, so as not to break the city and become the time for his own death.

I was worried that Yang Yue would not treat him well and get Yingzhou to sacrifice his flag.

In the official office, the adjutant general next to him witnessed Su Lige's back and forth, his expression panicked, and he knew that the other party was helpless in the face of the enemy army outside the city, and the six gods had no master.

couldn't help but take a few steps forward, arrived at Su Lige's side, and said: "General, the elite under Yang Yue is pressing, when we have no reinforcements, just relying on the city, it may be difficult to defend the other party, the last general still proposes that the general choose the right time to surrender to the Yan King, maybe we can also exchange for glory and wealth."

"Gao Baochang and other generals were all killed by Yang Yue in Huaiyuan Town, and the generals led the troops to surrender to Yang Yue, and it is strange that he did not take the opportunity to kill them, and there is no need to mention the surrender." Sulig glared at the lieutenant general, his eyes were gloomy and his eyes were full of murder.

Why didn't he want to lead the troops to surrender, wasn't he afraid that Yang Yue would break the city and take his own sacrifice flag?

Instead of dying tragically under Yang Yue's battle knife, he led 100,000 elite soldiers under his tent to fight vigorously.

The lieutenant was helpless, staring at Sulig and not knowing what to say.

I only heard Suliglang command: "General Zhao, you went out from the West Gate, went to the Khitan camp, and asked the King of Lili in the Right Valley to lead the troops to fight Yang Yue, and I was willing to hand over to him 100,000 taels of silver."

The Hedong reinforcements could not reach Yingzhou in a short time, and Sulige could only shift his attention to the Khitan, although the Khitan continued to attack Yingzhou every year, but only for money and food, and did not have the idea of embezzling Yingzhou.

When the adjutant general heard this, he hurriedly reminded: "General, Duanmu Ye led the troops to raid the camp of the Liwang of the Right Valley, and hit the army of Han Changxi stationed in Pingzhou, forcing the other party to have to lead the troops back to the camp.

Hiss!

Hearing this, Su Lige couldn't help but gasp, Duanmu Ye attacked the camp of the Liwang of the Right Valley, when did Datang have such a powerful general except for King Yan.

The plan to borrow foreign aid was thwarted, and Sulig had to think of another way.

It's a pity that throughout the vicinity of Pinglu, in addition to the Khitan, there are only Turkic and Xi people. King Yan led his troops to attack the city, causing the territory of Pinglu to be full of wolves, but the Turks did not send troops for a long time, let alone send generals to mediate from them, and Sulig was afraid that the Turks would want to stay out of the matter.

After a moment of silence, Su Lige's thoughts gradually shifted to the Xi clan, and he quickly turned to the deputy general and asked: "What about the Xi clan, Yuwen Tai led the troops to wander around the deputy general of Pinglu, I am afraid that he is preparing to look for opportunities. Since you can't ask the Khitan for help, you personally go to the Xi clan camp and ask Yuwen Tai for help, the Yuwen family is in urgent need of food and grass at present, and I believe that 100,000 pieces of silver are enough to make Yuwen Tai tempted."

"General, Yuwen Tai was born in the military, and the Yuwen family is a centuries-old family, and the last general is worried about 100,000 pieces of silver, and it may be difficult to make Yuwen Tai move."

"100,000 is not good, 150,000, as long as Yuwen Tai doesn't open his mouth." Sulig said angrily.

What about the century-old family, the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, the soup phoenix is not as good as the chicken, and his Yuwen family is currently the soup phoenix.

When the adjutant general heard this, he bowed his head and said: "The general must ensure that the last general will go here for two or three days, and the general should be careful that King Yan is attacking the city."

Sulig didn't say anything, just signaled to the lieutenant general to hurry up the situation and not to delay.

At night, Yang Yue's tent was inside.

Zhang Xuanheng, Wei Jiyan, Xu Lin, Ye Qinghu, and Sima Kuo gathered!

In the center of the tent, a half-man tall wooden box is placed in the center.

Yang Yue and other generals, everyone's eyes were focused on the wooden box.

Zhang Xuanheng strode forward, walked to the side of the wooden box, opened the lock, tore off the seal, and opened the wooden box, which was full of sky-shaking thunder!

In recent days, Yang Yue has observed the defense of Yingzhou City in detail, relying on the flesh and blood of the foot horseman, it is difficult to enter the city even if it is attacked, he can only take surprise attack methods, using the earth-shaking thunder to attack.

In this way, the casualties of the soldiers under the tent can be greatly reduced, and the lightning can also conquer the Yingzhou City, sweep Pinglu, and lead the troops to Larao as soon as possible.

Only by quickly recovering the entire territory of Pinglu and seizing the Lenao region can he quickly lead his troops back and return to Dandong to deploy the conquest of Silla.

The generals looked at a box full of sky-shaking thunder, and Zhang Xuanheng took the lead and said: "Lord Wang, it took a lot of time for craftsmen to create sky-shaking thunder.

The standby of the earth-shaking thunder is not high, but it is difficult to make, and it is often suddenly guaranteed during the production, which affects the safety of craftsmen.

In Zhang Xuanheng's view, there is no need to take earth-shattering thunder in the small Yingzhou City.

"Lord Wang, the last general also thinks that attacking the city with earth-shattering thunder is a bit too much!" Wei Jiyan said loudly, such a powerful weapon as the Heaven-Shaking Thunder should be used to attack a powerful tribe like the Turks.

However, Yang Yue's face was cold, without the slightest pity, and he said loudly: "The craftsmen's craftsmanship in making earth-shaking thunder is becoming more and more proficient, and the chance of injury is getting smaller and smaller.

Since we can still make the earth-shattering thunder, why should we let the soldiers knock open the Yingzhou City with their flesh and blood?"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Xuanheng, Wei Jiyan, Xu Lin and other generals hugged their fists together and said: "The prince is benevolent and righteous, and the last general will be the soldiers of the siege battle. Thank you for your great kindness."

Zhang Xuanheng and other generals knew that what Yang Yue said was true, and storming Yingzhou City would make thousands of elites die on the battlefield.

On the contrary, just relying on this box full of earth-shaking thunder, you can easily knock on the gate of Yingzhou City. Greatly reduce the casualties caused by the siege of the city,

At this time, Xu Lin stepped forward and asked: "Lord Wang, the last general will ask for battle, personally bring the earth-shaking thunder and blow up the east gate of Yingzhou City."

"Lord Wang, the last general is also invited to fight!" Sima Kuodao.

Yang Yue bowed his head and chuckled: "Okay, Xu Lin, Sima Kuo listens to the order!"

"The last general!" Xu Lin and Sima Kuo came out quickly, stood in the center of the tent, and arched their hands.

They knew the power of the earth-shaking thunder, and when they captured Pingzhou, they used the earth-shaking thunder to easily knock on the south gate of Pingzhou, and the Khitan Zuoxian King who killed had no power to fight back, and even left his life in Pingzhou.

At this moment, they personally fought with the earth-shattering thunder, not only to blow up the gate of Yingzhou, but also to let Su Lige leave his life.

At this time, I only heard Yang Yue say loudly: "Xu Lin, you personally lead thirty sky-shaking thunders to the east gate, Sima Kuo, you take twenty sky-shaking thunders to the north gate, and lead a small number of tiger troops to attack from the north gate.

Order the Tiger Ben Sword, disperse the security and earthquake thunder at the north gate, and strive to attract the attention of the enemy, this king guesses that the improved earthquake thunder, maybe as long as ten can easily blow up the city gate, so, you lead a small number of tiger Ben army into the city, use the earthquake thunder, to give the king the first lesson to the defenders of the north gate, Wei Jiyan, Ye Qinghu, Er and other leading troops in Sima Kuo after the north gate exploded, all broke into Yingzhou, from the central main street to the Yingzhou official office, and strive to capture Sulige.

Xu Lin, leading the Tiger Ben Army, came from the sound of killing at this gate, and after confirming that the north gate was breached, he immediately Zaka East Gate. Hu Yanzhuo personally led 20,000 flying cavalry troops and 20,000 tiger troops to fight with this king into Yingzhou."

After Yang Yue ordered the general, Zhang Xuanheng realized that he was the only one who was not arranged to fight. I couldn't help but ask with a puzzled expression: "Lord Wang, what should I do with the last general and the 20,000 martial guards under the tent, does the prince have an important explanation?"

Hearing this, Yang Yue bowed his head and said loudly: "That's right, this king has an important explanation for you. In order to prevent Wei Jiyan from leading the troops to startle the snake, Su Lige led the troops to flee from the south gate or the west gate, and you personally led the armed guards to divide into two routes, fortify at the south gate and the west gate, and be sure to capture Su Lige alive and deal a heavy blow to the Pinglu army that fled to him."

"Don't worry, the prince!" Zhang Xuanheng hugged his fists.

"Let's start moving, I hope that before dawn, we have already led our troops to garrison Yingzhou City!" Yang Yue's cold eyes swept over the generals beside him and urged.

Tonight, with the earth-shattering thunder, he wants to give Sulig a big gift and make an example of the monkey. Let the Khitans and Turks realize . He Yang Yue is by no means as weak and incompetent as the imperial court, allowing the cavalry of the northern tribes to come and go freely, and allowing the northern tribes to blackmail.

Whoever dares to provoke him for no reason will have absolutely no good fruit to eat.

The night was vast, Yang Yue's tent was in the camp, but it was gradually busy, a team of infantry, a group of elite cavalry, in the night of the five fingers of the hand, quietly left the camp, approached the vicinity of Yingzhou City.

Prepare to make a drum like a tiger and capture Yingzhou City overnight.

Following Yang Yue's order, Sima Kuo led a thousand flying cavalry troops to the north gate of Yingzhou first, looking for a high ground, and observing the movement of the city head in detail with the help of the bright light from the torches at the head of the city.

Sensing that the north gate of the city is not as tightly defended as the city head, but it is still heavily guarded, and the soldiers are holding soldiers and patrolling back and forth on the city wall, Sima Kuo knows that Yang Yue is not wrong to take the plan of shaking the sky and thundering the city.

In the tight defense of the Pinglu army, if the infantry and cavalry are forced to attack, the casualties will indeed be very large.

After observing for about half an hour, Sima Kuo gradually mastered the patrol rules of the Pinglu Army at the head of the city, summoned the four smart and clever tiger soldiers around him, and said in a low voice: "The Pinglu Army at the head of the city, patrolling back and forth every half hour, under the north gate, there is a defensive vacancy for a short time, you approach in the dark and take the opportunity to approach the north gate, place the earth-shaking thunder, and strive not to let the northern defenders notice."

"The general rest assured, the villain will never live up to the general's high expectations!" The four soldiers secretly bowed their heads and said softly.

Without any hesitation, he quietly went north in the dark.

At this time, Sima Kuo's eyes were staring at the front, although it was difficult to see the movements of the four soldiers in front of him clearly, but his eyes were long focused on the city wall patrol, and through the actions of the other party, he made sure that the four tiger soldiers were safe.

The patrol at the head of the city behaved as usual, and gradually, Sima Kuo suddenly saw ten figures flashing from the place where the city wall was slightly lit by fire, burrowing into the darkness at the base of the city wall.

At the same time, the patrol at the head of the city seemed to be aware of it, and at least two of the patrolmen, holding the iron bow, approached the city wall, looking towards the city wall, and even one of the soldiers. Throw down the torches at the head of the city, grab the iron-tired bow, and shoot out of the city. Make sure no enemy forces are approaching.

At this moment, Sima Kuo couldn't help but secretly hold his breath, the patrol at the head of the city was vigilant, if the whereabouts of the four soldiers were discovered, it would be easy to be shot by the patrol at the head of the city.

At that time, at least ten earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown under the city walls, which was very unfavorable for blasting open the north gate and killing into the city.

Fortunately, the patrol at the head of the city only watched for a moment, and after making sure that there were no accidents, they kept the patrol formation and patrolled quickly.

However, the soldier who threw the torch outside the city, while patrolling, turned his head from time to time to pay attention to the changes outside the city wall, and his vigilance was very high/

"These bastards almost ruined Ben Zhonglang's good deeds!" Sima Kuo clenched the hilt of his sword tightly and couldn't help but curse secretly.

Under the city gate, four Tiger Ben soldiers safely drilled into the door hole, quickly placed the earth-shaking thunder, and quietly returned to Sima Kuo's hiding place with the lead.

At this moment, the place illuminated by the torch flashed again, and was directly detected by the patrolman, only to hear the other party shouting loudly: "Enemy attack, there are enemy troops approaching!"

In an instant, the patrols and defenders at the head of the city quickly concentrated, and at least in a short time, dozens of people pulled the iron-tired bow and shot directly outside the city.

Although the four Tiger Ben soldiers quickly burrowed into the darkness, the arrows rained down behind them, and soon some of them fell to the ground.

Fortunately, in the rain of arrows, there was still a Tiger Ben soldier who retreated and returned to Sima Kuo's hiding place with a lead.

"Sima Zhonglang, did you directly ignite the fuse and blow up the city gate?" The soldier returned safely, looking a little excited, and asked softly, eager to directly ignite the fuse and use the earth-shattering thunder to blast open the city gate.

Sima Kuo still raised his head and stared at the defenders and patrols at the north gate, the other party was in a commotion for a moment, shooting arrows again and again, and after noticing that there was no movement outside the city, he returned to a defensive state.

I couldn't help but say softly: "No need to worry, wait for half a moment, wait for the enemy army at the head of the city to fight the firefight, and give the other party a surprise blow."
