(Thank you qin111 for your monthly ticket support, thank you!) ）

The heavy snow that had been falling for many days finally stopped, and early in the morning, the sky was full of red clouds, and the clear sky was clear, and the six thousand cavalry of Tuoba and Helian were the first to arrive at the foot of Shanyang City.

The vanguard cavalry slowly approached, like a swarm of locusts in the sky.

On the vast horizon, Shanyang City, the seat of governance in Shuozhou, is becoming clearer and taller. The city wall is towering, the arrow tower is numerous, as a big city outside the Saiwai, Shuozhou City is tall and majestic, and the population is large. Helian and Tuoba II, who arrived first, wanted to capture Shuozhou City first, and the Chinese soldiers and horses led by Zheng Congyan were still a day away.

Helian Duo and Tuoba Sigong did not wait for Zheng Congyan's army to arrive before attacking, they both wanted to capture the city first and win great achievements, of course, entering the city first was not only for meritorious service, but also for plundering. Last time in the new city, he was sued by Cui An for going too far in the slaughter of the city, which made both of them unhappy. However, if it was just a robbery and not a slaughter of the city, even Zheng Congyan would not punish them too much.

Thinking of the countless people in the city, the two Tibetan armies trembled with excitement.

After a brief discussion, Tuoba Sigong and Helian Duo agreed that they would each lead their headquarters to attack the west gate and the south gate of Shanyang City respectively. The soldiers and horses of the other two divisions are not superior to Shanyang City, but the continuous victories make them all a little arrogant, Li Keyong retreated without even fighting Yanmen Xiongguan, and Lou Fu and Xincheng were directly and easily taken by them. When I arrived at Shanyang City, I saw that there were not many soldiers and horses in the city, the banners were not neat, and I didn't go out, so I thought that there were not many defenders in Shanyang City.

Bai Yicheng of the Helian Department reminded Helian Duo that Shanyang City was not far from the three cities of Mayi and Jincheng. The three cities are the horns. Li Keyong has no way to retreat. Caution should be exercised for now, and it is best to wait until the arrival of Zheng Congyan's army before attacking. In order not to be counterattacked by the enemy, such things as the Zhaoyi Army, the Zhenwu Army, and the Capture Army will happen. However, Helian Duo couldn't listen at all at this time, and the Tuoba Department only had half of them, but the two battles of Loufu and Xincheng were the first achievements of Tuoba Li, and if this battle was to let them attack the city first. Where is the majesty of the Nakhlian tribe?

As for Li Keyong, he has already broken his courage now, otherwise, why would he not even retreat from Yanmen Pass without a fight. If the Shatuo army is really as powerful as the legend, why will they be defeated and retreated one after another, and now, there is only one state left?

In the early afternoon, a whining horn sounded, and the Tuoba and Helian tribes launched a siege at the same time.

The two armies moved in unison, and the wind and clouds shook.

Under the city. Tuoba Sigong rode in front of the party cavalry on horseback, and the banner of the party was fluttering in the wind. The flag is like the sea. Dancing with a lance in his hand, Tuoba Sigong shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Dangxiang clan, for the sake of the Dangxiang clan, pick up your spears, lift your scimitars, and fight!" In Shanyang City in front of you, there are countless gold and silver in it, and women who can't rob it, if you want money and silk, if you want women, pick up your knives and guns, and go with me! ”

After speaking, Tuoba Sigong took the lead, the prancing horse crossed, and the first to rush to the city.

"Woo, woo!" At the sound of the trumpet, the two thousand party cavalry roared, and the horses followed, and the snow on the ground had not yet melted, and was trampled by iron hooves, and suddenly turned into a muddy field, splashing everywhere. The white party cavalry rushed through, like a white wave, rushing towards the black Shanyang City, as if to drown him.

"The party members have already gone up, and our Tuyuhun warriors can't be left behind, the soldiers of the Helian Division, come with me!" Helian Duo roared loudly and immediately led 4,000 Helian cavalry to attack the south gate.

In the city, the one who sat to defend this city was Li Youjin, the governor of Shatuo, and Xue Tieshan, Kang Junli, and Xue Zhiqin, three of the seven generals of Yunzhou, were also in this city, Li Youjin fled back from Yunzhou, and now he is sitting in Shanyang City, commanding a thousand infantry in the Central Plains of Shanyang City, and he himself brought three thousand infantry, and the three generals of Xue Tieshan also led a thousand cavalry each. Their soldiers and horses reached 7,000, but the really most elite soldiers and horses in Shanyang City belonged to the 2,000 elite cavalry that originally belonged to Li Cunzhang, and now these 2,000 cavalry were divided by Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao, making the defenders in the city reach 9,000 soldiers and horses, including 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. But at the head of the city, only the thousand defenders appeared.

Li Youjin watched the cavalry of the Tuoba Department and the Helian Department rushing towards him, and couldn't help but sneer: "Tuoba Sigong and Helian Duo, two idiots, are they going to attack the city with cavalry?" ”

"With such a few people, it's better for us to just rush out and kill it." Xue Tieshan Road.

"No, we're going to catch a big fish!" Li Siyuan directly rejected this proposal in the back, Xue Tieshan was a little dissatisfied, when it came to rewards, he was one of the seven generals of Yunzhou, and he was a Yun veteran general used by Li Keyong, Li Siyuan was just a child, but remembering that Li Siyuan is now very liked by Li Keyong, this time he and Li Sizhao's two thousand cavalry were also dominated by him, and even he had the arrow given by Li Keyong, so he couldn't help but shut up with dissatisfaction at the moment.

Li Youjin's face sank like water, and he said slowly: "Just do what Si Yuan said, let the thousand guards slowly accompany them first, and increase the strength little by little." The scout came to report that Zheng Congyan's 20,000 troops on the middle route would arrive tomorrow morning, while Yu Xuan's 14,000 troops would not arrive until the day after tomorrow. A few thousand men and horses of Tuoba and Helian are nothing, our goal is to eat Zheng Congyan's Chinese army together. ”

Thinking of this plan, Li Youjin couldn't help but be excited. This plan was proposed by Liu, and it is rumored in the army that Liu is a female general wearing a skirt and applying rouge. If she were a man, she would be better than the vast majority of men. After the rest experienced the defeat of Yunzhou, Li Youjin was more inclined to Liu's strategy of attacking Yunzhou directly, opening a passage to jump out of the encirclement, and fleeing to the fortress.

It's a pity that although Li Zhenguo also has this intention, he is now on the couch, and all the affairs of the clan have been handed over to Li Keyong. And Li Ya'er was obviously unwilling to flee into Saishang like this, he took over the position of patriarch as a new one, and he was never willing to flee from Saishang as soon as he took office.

The cavalry of Tuoba and Helian under the city galloped to the bottom of the city, and quickly relied on the riding and archery skills of the Shatuo people, and shot arrows at the city on their horses. This kind of cavalry shooting was carried out for most of the morning, and the defenders in the city suffered many casualties, but Li Youjin and others did not care. If you die one, you can immediately replenish two of them.

Until dusk, Tuoba and Helian II did not directly attack the city with infantry, but kept attacking with cavalry. The purpose of the two seems to be very simple, as if they have decided that there are not many defenders in the city, and they are ready to test and confirm the reality of the city first, while first consuming part of the defenders' strength and exhausting the defenders.

Their real siege was to prepare to attack the city at night.

Night finally fell, and the attacks under the city finally stopped. Tuoba Sigong and Helian Duo chose to attack the city at night. The two divisions each selected hundreds of elite subordinates, preparing to repeat the style of play in the previous battles.

After dark, every half hour, the second part would make a feint attack until midnight.

Tuoba Sigong summoned the hundreds of warriors who had been resting after dark, and after eating and drinking, he began to take advantage of the break after the new wave of feints to start a surprise attack.

"Governor, the party and the Tuyuhun people are preparing to sneak attack and seize the city, and they have come up." Li Siyuan came from the city and reported to Li Youjin in a low voice.

Li Youjin sat in the city tower, holding a big knife in his hand, smiling suddenly, very eerie and terrifying: "Are they finally here, grandpa waited for most of the night, and thought they didn't dare to come." Tune the crossbow arrows and kill them. ”

In the squeaky sound, a group of black-clothed Shatuo soldiers quietly appeared on the city, one by one the crossbow machines were wound open, and a row of metal arrows appeared on the battlements, exuding a cold cold light, which was chilling to see.

A row of metal arrowheads appeared on the battlements, emitting a cold cold light, which was chilling to see.

The Shatuo soldiers quickly wound up and aimed.

"Ready!"

These crossbows were captured by the Shatuo people from various states, cities and armies after several successive victories, and this time, almost all of them were transferred to Shuozhou City.

The crossbowman commanded at the head of the city was Li Sizhao, and he waved his hand: "Shoot!" ”

Under the West Gate, he didn't understand what was going on at all, and a party soldier in the front row who had just approached the city suddenly fell to the ground with a scream, with a crossbow arrow stuck in his chest.

Immediately afterwards, the party soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, and the wounded soldiers lay on the ground.

The arrows were more and more numerous, more and more dense, and they grazed past the ears and shoulders of the party soldiers, or there was a low pop, and then there was a low curse moan, which was the result of some hapless bastard.

The wooden shield covered with cowhide could not stop the sharp arrows, and the number of people who were hit by the arrows increased, and the first few squads, the team obviously withered, and could not maintain the formation, the dead and wounded soldiers lay on the ground, the wounded party soldiers curled up in pain on the ground, the moans and cries of the dying were mixed with the sharp sound of the wind, and the later team walked past them expressionlessly, and the soil under their feet was soaked in blood and was soft and slippery.

Without orders, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of them, the tough party fighters will never take a step back.

Tuoba Sigong looked painfully at the party soldiers who kept falling, these were the most elite soldiers, but at this time, they fell like the wind blowing rice waves. The city had been prepared, even anticipating that they would appear at this time.

This is the ambush that has been waiting for a long time, "Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!" ”

It took a lot of effort, and of the 500 elites who came to raid, only a few hundred people were the last to break away from the death metal storm. He sent men to inquire about the situation on the side of Helianduo, who were also attacked by the crossbow arrows of the Shatuo people at the south gate, and lost more than five hundred.

All at once, the two armies lost a thousand elites.

But fortunately, the city did not take the opportunity to kill, and it seems that there is really a lack of defenders. (To be continued......)
