The Khitan army entered the fifth day when it fiercely against Liucheng. The Khitan army was stubbornly resisted by the Sui army. The cumulative casualties had exceeded 10,000, and the city was still unmoved. ︾Le︾Wen︾Xiao︾ Say [Please search]

But the defending army also paid the price of nearly 4,000 casualties, mainly because the militia soldiers were seriously injured. On the third day, the Xi army once attacked Shangcheng and was defeated by the Sui army. In that life-and-death battle, the militia was killed and injured by two thousand people, which was the worst casualties of the Sui army.

In the war a few days ago, the Xi people were mainly the main force, which is also the consistent tradition of the Khitan army. Any war is to let the Xi soldiers affiliated with them fight to the death first, consume the enemy's new force, and then the Khitan main force will appear again.

In the early morning, the chief of the Xi people, Su Zhi, angrily found Dahe Duluo and said dissatisfiedly: "I heard a news that the Khan still wants the Xi people to be the vanguard today. We have killed 6,000 people, injured more than 4,000 people, and suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Does the Khan want us to die until the last one?"

Dahe Duluo was wearing armor. He put on his helmet and said calmly: "I know what the situation is. The Xi people still have the combat power, so it is not realistic to stop here. However, the Xi people don't have to go out to fight today and tomorrow. They will take good care of themselves and treat the wounded soldiers. We will fight together in two days."

Su Zhi certainly knew that the Khitans would not let him go, but he had promised not to fight today and tomorrow. Su Zhi also breathed a little relieved. His soldiers were so tired."

"Thank you for your arrangement!"

Su Branch turned around and left with a bow. Dahe Duluo put on his armor and walked out of the tent and ordered: "Let Anlu and Sun Aocao come to see me!"

Soon, Anlu and Sun Aocao rushed over on horseback. The two of them turned over and dismounted, walked to Dahe Duluo and bowed, "Please give me instructions!"

"Today, the two governors can each send 10,000 troops to attack the city, or Nancheng. Governor Sun is on the left, Governor An is responsible for the right side. Those who climb to the top of the city first reward 100,000 sheep!"

"Abide by the order!"

The two bowed and left separately. At this time, Dahe Duluo's youngest son Dahe said in a deep voice: "Father Khan, I am willing to lead three thousand troops to attack the city. Please allow my father Khan!"

Dahe Duluo understood what his son meant. He wanted to make a sigh of relief for him. Although he couldn't bear to let him go, Dahe Duluo patted his son's shoulder heavily, put his golden helmet on his head, and looked into his son's eyes and said, "Don't embarrass me, but you can't take risks!"

"The child will not let his father's sweat be ashamed!"

Dahe You turned over the horse and ran towards the military camp in the back. Dahe Duluo looked at his son's back and walked away. He was really worried. He also turned over the horse and pointed at the city wall with a sword, "Beat the drum to attack the city!"

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’

The sound of the attack drums of the Khitan army sounded again. Amid the shouts of tens of thousands of Khitan troops, the 10,000 troops of the left and right governors Sun Aocao and Anlu were each blocking the city. Dahe Youye sent 3,000 soldiers to join the attacking team, and turned into 23,000 troops to attack Liucheng. This time, unlike the previous few days when the Xi people had only siege ladders, all the heavy siege weapons were on the battlefield.

The ladders, nesting cars, and trenchers were mixed in the army. The 20,000 troops were densely packed like an ant colony, and they were vast and covered with the fields south of Liucheng.

Two days ago, the Sui army used a scattering machine to throw out a large number of thorns, which made the siege soldiers unbearable. However, after a few days of competition, the Khitan army became smarter. They paved the road with wooden boards and paved dozens of wooden boards, so that the Khitan army could escape the assassination on the ground, but they could not escape the Stonehenge above their heads.

More than a hundred huge rocks roared from the sky, rolling among the Khitan crowd, flesh and blood flying, screams resounded throughout the field, a nest car was concentrated by huge rocks, the nest car blossomed in the air, giant trees flew around, corpses soared, the nest car scattered, another cloud ladder was hit, the ladder was broken, the wooden platform was pierced, the two wooden wheels fell off, the huge body of the cloud ladder tilted, and he could no longer move on the ground.

One after another, huge rocks hit the crowd, and shrill screams kept coming. The huge fear caused the morale of the Khitan army to decline. Many Khitan soldiers turned around and wanted to run away. Dahe Duluo was prepared. He ordered his eldest son Dahe Mohui to lead three thousand soldiers to hold a knife to press the formation behind him. Nearly a hundred Khitan soldiers who escaped from the formation were chopped to the ground.

The Khitan army had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward. As the Khitan army advanced forward, the archery battle between the two sides broke out. Ten thousand Sui troops fired arrows down on both sides of the battlements of the city wall. There were archery outlets on the Liucheng city wall, which could be used to cover them. The crossbows shot arrows at an elevation angle behind them. The Khitan army had the advantage of the number of people. The arrows on both sides were like rain, woven into a black net of arrows in the sky. The Khitan suffered heavy casualties, and the Sui army also suffered considerable casualties, and people kept screaming and being shot at the arrow.

In the dense rain of arrows, the Khitan army began to cross the moat and approach the city wall. The moat had no water, but a large trench that was ten feet deep and two feet wide, covered with pickets, but at this time the pickets were filled with the bodies of Xi soldiers, and all kinds of ferocious postures were ferocious and terrible.

The Khitan army had long been numb to the soldiers who had fallen. They put on three feet long wooden boards, causing the moat to lose its defensive effect.

At this time, dozens of large siege ladders and nest chariots rumbling. One nest chariot was loaded with fifty Khitan soldiers, each holding a spear and a shield, and more than two hundred people were following him, shooting arrows upwards.

The nest car slowly approached the city wall, less than fifty steps away from the city wall. At this time, forty stone cannons of the Sui army began to exert their power. The cannon was actually a super-large bed crossbow. The cannon was one meter long and the bow arm was one meter long. It was made of beef tendon or hemp rope as a bow string, placed on a special iron foundation, controlled by ten militia soldiers, and was wound with a winch.

The stone cannon fires a polished and smooth stone bullet weighing about fifty kilograms and can range from fifty to seventy steps. Special soldiers are responsible for range measurement and aiming.

"Here is here! Here!"

A lieutenant pointed at a slowly approaching nest car and shouted: "Win the string and aim!"

Eight soldiers pushed the long winch rod like a mill pushing the mill. The huge bowstring was squeaked and buckled on the string hook. A soldier fed a stone bullet into the shooting trough. The captain was also aiming his hand. He lay on the crossbow, staring at Wangshan, and shouted: "Rise up one point!"

There were scales on the ground behind the cannon, and the soldiers raised the cannon slightly.

"Okay!" the captain shouted.

He jumped off the stone cannon, stared at the nest car for a moment, and shouted, "Start!"

The two soldiers pulled out the string hook suddenly, and with a loud "click!", a stone bullet flew out strongly from the shooting trough, roaring towards the nest car fifty steps away.

‘Boom!’ There was a loud noise from the ground, and the nest car was hit by a stone bullet. A pillar beam broke. The nest car shook violently. The belt tied to the owner beam of the nest car suddenly loosened. The nest car instantly tilted and collapsed. Fifty soldiers screamed and fell down.

The Sui soldiers on the top of the city cheered. At this time, another nest car approached the city wall, and a young Khitan general was standing in front of him, holding a long spear and shield.

This person is Daheyou, the youngest son of Dahe Duluo, who is only sixteen years old, but he is very strong. Kong Wu is powerful. He is not afraid of tigers. He is not afraid of danger. He only has the desire for victory and glory in his heart.

He wanted to make his first contribution, but he secretly got into a nest car. He wore a golden helmet. The soldiers in the nest car knew him and wanted to pull him into the car, but he stabbed him to death by his backhand, which scared the soldiers so much that they dared not provoke this cruel young chief again.

At this time, Yang Shanhui, who was commanding the city to guard the viewing tower, found this nest car and saw Dahe You wearing a golden helmet. He was secretly surprised in his heart. He guessed that the young general must have an unusual identity. He immediately ordered: "Let General Duan shoot him with an iron arrow!"

The soldier immediately rushed to inform Duan Xianda. Duan Xianda immediately transferred thirty bed crossbows and ordered the bed crossbow to be replaced with a special iron arrow. The iron arrow was two feet and four inches long, with a range of 300 steps, and its power was strong. It could break gold and penetrate stones within a hundred steps. Thirty bed crossbows were aimed at the nest car at the same time. At this time, Duan Xianda shouted, "Shoot me!"

Thirty iron arrows shot towards the enemy in the nest car together, and the force was fierce. Dahe You was shocked and raised his shield to greet him. There was a sound of rupture and screams. Dahe You's shield was broken into pieces, and four iron arrows shot through his chest at the same time. He You He died tragically on the spot.

At the same time, more than a dozen soldiers were killed. The belt of the nest chariot was also shot through by iron arrows. The nest chariot was immediately broken and collapsed with a bang, pressing Dahe's body under the nest chariot.

Although the Sui army's stone cannons and bed crossbows were powerful, they could not destroy all the ladders and nest chariots. Three nest chariots finally arrived on the city wall. The iron plate fell and smashed on the top of the city. Gravels flew around. Behind the iron plate, fifty Khitan soldiers rushed out of the nest chariot with spears, and hundreds of Sui soldiers killed from both sides and fought fiercely with the enemy.

Although the nest car is easily destroyed, once it is against the wall, it will become very terrible. It is actually a closed city ladder, and a steady stream of Khitan soldiers rushed out of the nest car and rushed towards the top of the city.

Seven or eight cloud ladders were set up on the city wall in a row. Khitan soldiers climbed the cloud ladder soldiers and rushed up frantically. Hundreds of Sui soldiers waved their swords and spears to fight against the enemy rushing up. On the horse wall, dozens of Sui soldiers took crossbows and shot Khitan soldiers on the stairs from behind. The powerful crossbow arrows shot through the wooden shields, and Khitan soldiers kept screaming and falling down from the city.

The battle gradually became bloody and tragic. As more and more Khitan soldiers killed the city, the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Sui army. The militia soldiers and even women who delivered food rushed up to fight with the enemy, and the situation suddenly became extremely critical.
