■The early morning sun also shines on the Yin Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles, and the round mountain gradually fades under the sunlight, revealing the original appearance of the dark mountain, the murmuring of the stream, the sound of birdsong, and the breath of early spring gradually came to the Yin Mountain.

In a huge mountain pass in Yin Mountain, a cavalry of more than 80,000 people appeared, waving flags, mighty and boundless.

This was the main force of the Qi cavalry from Jinshan, and the battle situation in Dali City changed their battle plan, they gave up facing Xue Yantuo in the south of Jinshan, and instead took advantage of Xue Yantuo's large-scale attack on Dali City, and went straight to their empty lair.

At the head of the procession was a middle-aged man of about fifty years of age, with a gray beard, but his eyes were piercing, and his body was still as strong as that of a young man, and he wore a curly-brimmed hat with a ruby the size of a chicken egg in the center, a chain mail made of gold, and a sword encrusted with precious stones at his waist.

He was the Khan of the Qi Department, he received the news from his eldest son Qi Lie with an eagle, and immediately led a large army south, he led a coalition army, not only the Qi army, but also the armies of Gaochang, Qiuzi, Yanqi and other countries, and the king of Gaochang sent 10,000 troops to fight with him.

At the side of the Khan was his eldest son, the Khan's heir, Klie, and on his shoulder stood a goshawk, which was a falcon that had just flown from the city of Dali, and Klie got the information of the city of Dali, Xue Yantuo sent an army of 90,000 to attack the city of Dali, and their banner of the golden wolf head king also crossed the Yellow River.

This is the most important piece of information, Wang Qi crossed the Yellow River, indicating that Xue Yantuo dispatched the most elite army, and their Xue tribe must be empty.

"Speed up and defeat Xue Yantuo in one battle!"

Eighty thousand Qi cavalry crossed the Yin Mountain and slaughtered the empty core tribe of Xue Yantuo

In the afternoon, twenty nest cars and 100 ladders climbed the city wall, and the huge wooden plank in front of the platform at the top of the nest car fell, forming an air bridge, and dozens of Xue Yantuo soldiers brandished their swords and rushed towards the city head, and behind them, Xue Yantuo's army climbed up the stairs in a steady stream.

After a morning of fierce fighting, the city was full of dead corpses, both sides suffered heavy casualties, Xue Yantuo's 70,000 troops had been pressed on the whole line, and the strength of the army had an absolute advantage, they gradually began to gain the upper hand, and more than 2,000 enemy troops had rushed to the city and fought fiercely with the Sui army on the city, and the situation became critical.

"General, the east of the city is almost unbearable!" A Sui soldier rushed to report.

"You come with me!"

Yang Yuanqing led five hundred Sui troops to the east of the city, there are more than a dozen trebuchets in the east of the city, mainly craftsmen, Xue Yantuo's army set up eight nest cars and dozens of ladders here, more than 1,000 enemy troops have been killed on the city.

After all, the artisan soldiers had little training, and they were exhausted during the two-day siege of the city, and when they came face to face with the enemy army, they faced bloody battles, and they faced piles of corpses of their comrades, and they began to be frightened back by death, and began to panic, and thousands of artisan soldiers were in a state of confusion, and their confusion also affected the Sui army's operations.

"General, you let this group of useless people retreat!"

The defender of Dongcheng was Ma Shao, and when he saw Yang Yuanqing leading the army to help, he was so angry that he yelled, "It's not that I can't resist, this group of useless people has affected our battle." ”

Yang Yuanqing also saw it on the horse, the gap was mainly in the two nest cars, there were more than 2,000 craftsmen and soldiers crowded there, the Sui army could not pass, it was the craftsmen and soldiers over there who could not resist, so that the enemy army continued to pour in, and the trebuchet could not play a role at this time.

"All the artisan soldiers have withdrawn to the inner city!"

Yang Yuanqing gave the order for the craftsmen to retreat, and thousands of craftsmen retreated to the inner city like a tide, and the suspension bridge was crowded with craftsmen who were rushing to run, and one craftsman was squeezed off the suspension bridge while running, screaming and falling into the city.

With the withdrawal of thousands of craftsmen and soldiers, the outer city suddenly became empty, Ma Shao shouted, led 1,200 Sui troops to reorganize the formation, and counterattacked the Xue Yantuo army that rushed to the head of the city.

On the side of the dense soldiers, Yang Yuanqing saw Yang Wei, who was tall and tall, he was still desperately fat Saburo's true colors, sweating profusely, swinging a sledgehammer to smash the enemy, where the sledgehammer passed, Xue Yantuo's soldiers all had their brains bursting and their flesh and blood blurred.

At this time, a Xue Yantuo commander on the battlements held a spear in his hand and stabbed Yang Wei in the back silently, and Yang Yuanqing immediately took off his bow and arrows.

Yang Wei had already discovered that there was a sneak attack behind him, and it was too late to turn around, and at this moment, Yang Yuanqing shot an arrow, piercing the head of the commander, and fell down the city screaming.

Yang Wei saw Yang Yuanqing, grinned, raised a sledgehammer and waved at him, at this time, two Sui soldiers beside him were stabbed to death by enemy spears, Yang Wei was furious, he roared wildly, and swung a sledgehammer to pounce on the enemy.

The craftsmen on the other side of the gap have retreated, Yang Yuanqing a column of war horses, led five hundred Sui troops to the gap to kill, the Sui army fought very methodically, with tacit understanding, three hundred Sui troops from both sides of the outflank killing, the middle two hundred Sui army kneeling on one knee to release arrows, arrows like rain, rushing up the enemy army was shot down.

"Kill them back!"

Yang Yuanqing's voice was hoarse, he urged the war horse, wielded a long lance, and led the Sui army to kill the enemy bravely, under his encouragement, the morale of more than 500 Sui soldiers was high, killing the enemy's dead corpses everywhere, retreating one after another, and retreating back to the nest car.

A Sui soldier took the opportunity to throw a leather bag full of fire oil on a wooden plank, ignited the oil and burst into flames, the fire burned rapidly, and the smoke billowed out, engulfing the wooden bridge in the air.

"General, use fire oil! Burn down the nest car! Marsho suggested loudly.

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, the nest car and the ladder are wrapped in raw cowhide, the effect of fire oil will not be too great, five hundred barrels of fire oil, Yang Yuanqing has their own use.

And..... His eyes looked out of the city, hundreds of steps away, there were more than twenty nest carts and hundreds of ladders waiting to ascend the city, and they couldn't finish burning.

What's more important is that there are already four or five thousand enemy troops rushing to the city from various gaps, which is equal to the number of Sui troops in the city, and the outer city will definitely not be able to hold it.

Yang Yuanqing shouted, the long lance swung over, the ox belt of a trebuchet was cut off, the trebuchet fell apart, and the long log fell down the city.

"Destroy all trebuchets and retreat to the inner city!"

One by one trebuchet was destroyed by the Sui army, groups of Sui soldiers began to retreat while fighting, a thousand archers suppressed the pursuit of the enemy army with a dense rain of arrows, hundreds of Sui troops raised their shields, forming a shield wall, the soldiers ran across the drawbridge, and released arrows on the inner city wall to cover the retreat of the Sui army, and the team was in order.

Liu Jian, who was in charge of Xichengtou, also led hundreds of Sui troops to withdraw, but at this moment, Liu Jian suddenly found that there were still two trebuchets in Xichengtou that had not been destroyed, and his heart was about to break, this was his dereliction of duty, he knew the consequences of leaving two trebuchets, and the entire inner city would be destroyed by these two trebuchets.

Liu Jian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, his heart suddenly turned sideways, and he ordered left and right: "The first team will follow me!" ”

He roared, led fifty Sui troops to the dense Xue Yantuo army to counterattack, he waved the big knife, extremely brave, in an instant, three enemy soldiers were chopped off by him, fifty Sui soldiers followed him, concentrated their strength to kill, like a hard fist, rushed left and right, and gradually killed a bloody road, but there were already more than 2,000 enemy troops on the west city wall, they were flanked left and right, surrounding the fifty Sui troops sent to the door.

"General, Brigade Marshal Liu rushed over." A soldier rushed to report to Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Yuanqing had already seen it, and he had also seen two trebuchets standing at the west end of the city, in one of the most neglected corners.

Yang Yuanqing's eyes stared at the fifty Sui soldiers who had gradually been overwhelmed by the enemy army, his pupils contracted into a line, and the sky-breaking lance in his hand tightened.

At this moment, only to hear a roar, Liu Jian, who was covered in blood, rushed out of the dense encirclement with several soldiers, his big knife was gone, and he became a bloody man, he pulled out the horizontal knife, split several people in a row, ran more than 100 steps, rushed to the trebuchet, swung the knife and slashed the belt, the belt broke, the huge trebuchet collapsed and fell apart, he turned around and threw himself at another stone, the knife in his hand was broken, only half of it was left.

At this time, hundreds of enemy troops chased after them, seeing that they had caught up, several Sui soldiers resisted desperately, and were hacked to death by random knives in an instant, and a commander saw that the officers of the Sui army were desperately cutting down the last trebuchet, and couldn't help but be furious, and opened his bow and arrow, and an arrow hit Liu Jian in the back of the neck, and the arrow passed through the neck, Liu Jian snorted and fell on the trebuchet.....

On the side of the suspension bridge, more than 100 of Liu Jian's subordinates screamed wildly, drew their knives and rushed forward, Yang Yuanqing waved his long lance and stopped them, he shouted: "All retreat to the inner city, those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

More than 100 subordinates slowly retreated with tears, they turned around suddenly, rushed into the outer gate of the drawbridge, and ran towards the inner city, Yang Yuanqing's eyes were also red, he took one last look at Liu Jian, slowly retreated into the door, the outer door of the drawbridge was closed, and after walking more than a dozen steps of the boulder bridge, you could enter the drawbridge, and the last dozens of soldiers used shields to protect him and the war horses left and right, resisting the rain of arrows shot from both sides

Here, Yang Yuanqing could still see the trebuchet and Liu Jian lying on the trebuchet, and at this moment, the last trebuchet collapsed, and the giant tree tumbled down the city.

The sudden change caused Xue Yantuo's army, which had left the west of the city, to turn around and run back, and Liu Jian, who was seriously injured, struggled to stand up slowly, just now he was lying on the trebuchet and cut the belt with a broken knife.

Life was about to leave him, the arrow pierced his neck, he could no longer speak, his eyes were full of incomparable nostalgia for life, Xue Yantuo was furious, drew his sword and rushed towards Liu Jian, he wanted to cut off this person's head.

Liu Jian took one last look at Yang Yuanqing, smiled miserably, slammed half of the knife into his chest, turned around and fell down the city.

Tears poured out of Yang Yuanqing's eyes, arrows were like flying locusts all around, hundreds of Xue Yantuo soldiers were chopping with axes at the outer gate of the drawbridge, seeing that the gate was about to be split, the soldiers were anxious and shouted, "General, let's go!" ”

Yang Yuanqing urged the war horse and ran towards the inner city wall, when the last soldier ran across the suspension bridge, the long suspension bridge was pulled up high by the iron cable, and a four-zhang wide cliff appeared between the two cities, which Xue Yantuo's army could not cross.
