The real wise men on the battlefield are those soldiers and grassroots commanders.

They are at the forefront of the battlefield, and their observations and experiences of the situation are much deeper than the generals behind them to a certain extent. The most important thing is that the threatened lives can always emit their most powerful wisdom.

This method is very simple, but Wen Yanbo immediately knew that this was the best method and it was very practical.

It didn't take long for them to dig an authentic tunnel to reach the bottom of the trench. Five or six soldiers from the Song Dynasty drilled down from the tunnel and pulled out all the bamboo guns below. When they finished this work, there were also Song soldiers next to them pretending to continue filling the soil to attract the attention of the Liao people.

After clearing out a safe enough area, more than twenty Song troops went down. This time they had to do piles.

When the piles below were driven, the Liao people on the top of the city saw the clues. It was too late to do anything to remedy them. The Song army put the prepared wooden boards on the piles and a simple bridge was built immediately.

The Liao people on the top of the city seemed a little panicked. Yelu Shiya originally believed that the Song army would need to wait until it was dark tonight, or until all their troops arrived, and they had an overwhelming long-range advantage to succeed.

However, it took only two hours for these vanguards of the Song Dynasty to turn this trench into a smooth road. When they began to demolish the low wall, the subsequent army of the Song army was still missing.

Even though the army had not arrived, the food and supplies had not arrived, Wen Yanbo continued to let the vanguard advance. He knew that this battle was time, and the Liao people were all cavalry, and they must have been waiting for their troops to hit a bloody head under the city of Nanjing before they could deal with them.

Therefore, Wen Yanbo tried his best to knock down his head and also wanted to knock down Nanjing City within the time the Liao people expected.

This is the situation. For both Song and Liao sides, the battle here is very critical. Whoever can grasp the time can grasp the node of the war

Yelu Shiya certainly understood this truth. When he saw the Song army constantly expanding the bridge deck above the first trench and using the same method to prepare to fill his second trench, Yelu Shiya was very angry: "This Wen Yanbo is too bullying."

The generals of the Liao Kingdom next to him also said: "General, these Song pigs are like them and they will just huddle in the city. Let us go out and kill for a while and give them some good looks."

Yelu Shiya thought for a moment: "Okay, prepare three thousand cavalry, listen to my order, you will rush out as soon as the city is opened."

The Liao people in the city began to prepare, and Wen Yanbo looked at the Liao battle flag flying on the top of Nanjing City, and a hot feeling in his heart rose rapidly, making him not pay attention to the dangers facing the Song army.

More than 30 soldiers of the Song Dynasty who had good water had jumped into the trench. Hundreds of people next to them were holding the tools needed to build the bridge and hid under the cover of the Song army's shield players. The progress was so smooth. Although the Song army in the trench suffered great casualties under the archery of the Liao people, a Song army was killed, and there would always be people next to them jumping down.

The bridge's stakes were slowly being laid, and everyone knew that they were getting closer to the city, and their hearts were filled with excitement and joy.

"alright"

Song Jun in the trench shouted, and everyone on the shore was very happy: "Build a wooden board"

Dozens of Song soldiers rushed over with a few long wooden boards, put the wooden boards in place, fixed them, and waited for the siege.

"Bang"

Several wooden boards were put down at the same time, and before the Song army could cheer for their victory, the city of the Liao people opposite suddenly opened.

Three thousand Liao cavalrymen came out like a wind.

This sudden change awakened the Song Dynasty soldiers who were silent in victory. The distance was too close. Even the Song Dynasty crossbowmen behind them had no time to support them. The horse hooves of the Liao people stepped over the wooden boards just paved by the Song army.

At the same time, hundreds of Liao people jumped into the trench and launched an attack on the Song Dynasty soldiers who were doing local work.

At the same time, due to the limitations of the terrain, the troops that covered them could not form an effective formation to resist the Liao cavalry.

Wen Yanbo was so panicked: "Return and let them return quickly."

It was too late. The shield player of the Song army only resisted for a moment, and the Liao people broke through the originally incomplete formation. More than two thousand Song troops were crowded in a narrow area, especially those soldiers holding shovels, who had no ability to resist at all, and allowed the Liao people to ride horses and chop.

"Brothers, I've fought with the people of Liao"

A very small number of soldiers were lucky enough to run back, but most of the Song army was in a situation where they had no way out. In this case, they bravely waved their shovels and short swords to fight against the spears of the Liao Kingdom.

The Song army behind was restricted by the terrain and could not be at all. In this case, Wen Yanbo made a very wise choice, which was to give up all the soldiers before the first trench and ensure their own results to the greatest extent.

Wen Yanbo's order destined that the soldiers on the front line could only use their lives to write a tragic color before victory. More than 2,000 Song troops escaped, and the rest were all killed between the two trenches by the spears of the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao people won the first victory, but they did not dare to rush over to fight the Song army again, and soon retreated back to the city. Then, the Liao people's shocking cheers sounded from the city, and many Song army's heads were hung on the high city wall.

Wen Yanbo looked at the heads that were still bleeding, his facial muscles trembled for a moment, and said in an extremely firm voice: "Camp and send someone to persuade him to surrender."

It was not until he was sure that he could not move forward any further before the army arrived, and then he began to perform some procedures that must be carried out before the double-handed war.

Seeing the Song army retreat, the cheers of the Liao people were even louder. Some Liao soldiers even made some insulting actions at the heads of the Song army on the city, and even shouted frantically: "Song Zhu, come and kill me, have the ability to come and kill me."

The Song soldiers stared at the arrogant Liao people on the city. Fu Yongji's xiong mouth fluctuated sharply: "Sir, didn't we bring two Mén cannons? Give them two cannons to let them know that they are powerful."

Wen Yanbo shook his head: "No, what's the use of giving them two shots?"

Fu Yongji also knew it was useless. They were carrying the latest style of the Song army, which was the type that had a certain accuracy. The lethality of the shells also increased a lot, but they marched in a hurry and only brought two such artillery artillery pieces. Even if they shot out all the shells they carried, they would not help the siege except to blow up a few Liao soldiers on the city.

He just thought it would be good to scare the Liao people even if they were to let them not be so arrogant.

Wen Yanbo said: "Put the soldiers and wait for the army to arrive."

Faced with the humiliation and abuse of the Liao people on the city wall, Fu Yongji could not even comfort himself, but there was no way. He was a general, which was something he had to do.

In the evening, the large army of the Song army finally arrived. Wen Yanbo was obviously also suffering from the bird energy of the Liao people. He didn't think about the darkness at all. The troops needed to rest and immediately launched a new offensive.

His army of more than 300,000 was full of troops, and there was nothing to rest in the face of more than 30,000 Liao soldiers in the city. The preparations for siege began immediately. Yelu Shiya at the top of the city frowned, and a general of Liao was next to him, saying, "General, this Song man can't wait, I think he was anxious."

Yelu Shiya suddenly smiled and amplified his voice and said, "Haha, of course they are anxious. The long-lived army of Weibi Hejian Mansion can be broken at any time. Their hometowns are almost impossible to save. Moreover, as long as we stick to ten days, not many, ten days will be enough. Our cavalry will definitely be able to encircle and annihilate these Song people under the city of Nanjing."

The Liao people knew that Yelu Shiya was boosting morale and said in great cooperation: "General, don't worry, the city has sufficient material reserves. Not to mention ten days, even a hundred days, the Song people could not fight. Besides, when we attacked just now, everyone saw these Song people were still like pigs, hahaha."

Their conversation made the people of Liao feel much more at ease and their morale was unprecedentedly high.

Yelu Shiya believes that morale is available, and such a high morale is very useful in the city war, but their high morale will soon be hit.

Under the city, the Song army's latest artillery was on high alert. With Wen Yanbo's order, the artillery fired anger and roared together. The iron shells with more than 20 kilograms and raindrops hit the Nanjing city walls.

This is the most violent artillery fire strike in the world under the current situation.

Before the Liao people on the city were able to escape from the small victory just now, the entire city was trapped in a sea of ​​fire. They were very unlucky and directly faced the first time in the world such a high-intensity and high-density artillery fire. The Liao team was blown away by blood and fell into a short-term hunluàn.

Yelu Shiya was also shocked by the Song army's methods. She had known that the Song army's artillery was powerful, but she never expected that when hundreds of méns were fired together, she was so powerful that she could not release people on the city wall.

However, after getting rid of the initial shock, he also discovered that although the Song army's artillery strike was surprising to him, this alone could not win the war.

The artillery has not yet developed to the point where it can determine the outcome of a war. If the Song army wants to win, they must rely on soldiers to climb the city walls as before to fight themselves.

Yelu Shiya hurriedly withdrew some people, leaving only a small number of soldiers on the wall to monitor the movements of the Song army.

Sure enough, after the Song army discovered that the Liao people had retreated, the artillery attack stopped immediately, and more than 20,000 Song army rushed up with the siege equipment.

Yelu Shiya quickly mobilized the people who had just been withdrawn. After a brief panic, the Liao soldiers restored order. They used their accurate archery techniques to continuously kill the charge Song army.
