Water Margin people

Liaoyang City.

The soldiers on the city were waiting in formation, with bows, crossbows and arrows, boiling oil and golden juice, huge stones and trees, all placed on the city wall.

Outside Liaoyang City, tens of thousands of troops are preparing to attack the city. Among them, one thousand iron Buddhas stand in the middle, and three thousand kidnappers stand on both sides.

On the top of the mountain outside Liaoyang City, Sun Lei looked at everything in Liaoyang City with a telescope.

"Are these Jurchens?"

Sun Lei asked.

"Only those Iron Buddhas and the Kidnapped Horse Jurchens, the rest are servants conscripted from the local government."

Xu Guanzhong said that the Jurchen population is small, the combined population of the birth Jurchen and the mature Jurchen is only 10,000+, and the total number of Jurchen fighters is only [-] to [-]. It is rare to use [-] Jurchen elites to fight Liaoyang.

"It looks very bluffing!"

Lu Zhishen looked at the Jurchen cavalry and said, Judging from the momentum, the Jurchen's combat effectiveness is definitely not bad.

"The cavalry are not good at attacking the city, and the Jurchens put the cavalry in the best attack position. Is it sure that they can break the city?"

Du Po opened his mouth and said, Liaoyang City is the capital of Tokyo Province, and the city walls are considered tall, not to mention that there are sufficient defensive equipment on the city, and [-] cavalry plus tens of thousands of servants may not be able to attack it.

"This is not a way of attacking the city at all. How can there be such a frontal attack?"

Li Zhu shook his head and said, he also dabbled in the art of war. The Jurchen soldiers and horses were all in front. This is not a siege, but a confrontation between the two armies, and the one who occupies the city has an absolute advantage.

The Jurchens didn't speak too much, and they didn't go to call for formation, they just rolled out catapults from the army formation.

"This trebuchet?"

Sun Lei looked at the weird trebuchet for a while, wondering. This thing is very different from the trebuchets in Liangshan today. It seems that the force arm is longer, which can bring a longer range.

"There is no such trebuchet in Liao!"

Gongsun Sheng said, the equipment of the Liao Kingdom is modeled after the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom does not like trebuchets, they prefer cavalry.

With the sound of a horn, Jin Bing put a huge stone in the direction of the trebuchet, knocked down the catapult, and the stone hit the city wall directly.

Thirty trebuchets were fired at once, and the defenders who fought in an instant did not dare to show their faces. The layout on the city wall was destroyed by stones, and huge boulders and trees were scattered all over the ground.

"Fire arrows!"

With a shout, the soldiers on the city wall began to shoot arrows to attack, but the range of the arrows was no match for the trebuchet, and the arrows fell to the ground far away.

But the trebuchet didn't stop, still throwing stones, attacking the defenders on the city.

"It's interesting, people attack the city by encircling the three and missing one, attacking the heart first, and drawing it slowly, but this Jurchen is doing the opposite, hitting one point at a time, and if this continues, the city wall will be smashed down gone."

Sun Lei looked at this different way of siege in amazement, this is a completely different way of siege.

"Little brother is also unheard of."

Xu Guanzhong said, as a military adviser, he should know the enemy well, but he can't figure out how the enemy attacked the city.

The continuous catapult attacks caused heavy losses to the defenders on the city, and the movement of resistance became smaller and smaller.

Seeing that there was no resistance in the city, Tie Futu stepped forward and urged the servants to fill up the moat with stones.

"Is this a preparation for a tough siege?"

Sun Lei frowned, and he was about to go to the city by force after fighting for a long time.

The servant army quickly filled most of the moat, and it was about to fill in a road. The defenders on the city were in a hurry, and they shot with bows and crossbows one after another, and the servant army fell down in an instant.

The servants retreated in fear.

The black-armored iron stupa stepped forward, blocked the retreat of the servants, and forced them to continue filling the moat. The servants had no choice but to hold up their shields and continue filling the river with stones and soil.

The trebuchets were still bombarding, and the defenders on the city fought back with bows and crossbows despite the bombardment of stones. Those iron stupas took out their bows and arrows to fight back at close range.

The arrows of the defenders couldn't hurt the heavy armored Tiefutu at all, and the Tiefutu's archery skills were so good that they killed many defenders under bursts of shooting.

"These Jurchens are good at archery!"

Hua Rong said, "Although the Jurchens can't hit every shot, they are still aiming and shooting, which is completely different from the general army's blind shooting.

The moat was directly filled with a path, and the servants carried the ladder to the bottom of the city.

The attack frequency of the trebuchets was faster, and many bricks and stones had fallen off the city wall due to the boulders, and there were signs of collapse following the bombardment.

"It looks like Liaoyang City is going to be destroyed."

Looking at the battle situation, Sun Lei said, the Jurchen's tactics are very simple and direct. The army gathers together, and the trebuchets hit one point fiercely to cover the attack of the servant army. Very effective.

"The city wall of Liaoyang City is still too thin, and it was beaten like this by a trebuchet."

Li Zhu shook his head and said, the Jurchen trebuchets have been modified to have a long range and great power, but the city walls shouldn't be so easily damaged by the trebuchets.

"The Khitan people are only good at nomadic herding, and they don't know how to do civil construction. It's not bad that this city can be built like this."

Gongsun Sheng said, the Khitan people started out as nomads, and although they have changed a lot, their stubborn trust in the cavalry made them unwilling to learn other things.

"This style of play is also ruthless enough. This trebuchet even killed many of their own people."

Du Po looked at the battlefield, the trebuchet was not that accurate, and many of the servants who were afraid of the ladder were also killed by stones, and many ladders were broken.

This method of attacking the city without remembering the casualties quickly paid off. It didn't take long for the servant army to cover the city wall with the help of the trebuchet. After a while of fighting, the city wall fell and the city gate was opened.Tens of thousands of servants rushed into the city.

The Iron Buddha and Kidnapper outside the city didn't move, they just watched the servants enter the city to burn, kill and loot.

The city was in chaos. Gao Yongchang saw that the city was broken, so he abandoned the city and fled with his soldiers and horses.

At this moment, Jurchen Tiefutu and Guaizima moved, and Guaizima rushed towards the side of Gao Yongchang's army, followed closely by Tiefutu.

The Kidnapper Horse was a light cavalry soldier, very fast. The Jurchens' horses and riding skills were far better than those of Gao Yongchang's army, and it didn't take long for them to detour to the front of Gao Yongchang's army, blocking the way.

Gao Yongchang wanted to force his way, but the Jurchen kidnapper didn't fight recklessly at all, he just delayed the speed.

Tie Futu was quickly slaughtered, rushing into Gao Yongchang's army was a massacre.

"Hunting techniques of wolves."

Sun Lei looked at Jurchen's fighting style and said, this fighting style is very similar to the hunting tactics of wolves in the animal world.

"It is very direct and effective, the tactics are clean and neat, the goal is clear, and there is no delay."

Xu Guanzhong also gave an evaluation.

The faces of the rest of them were gloomy. This kind of enemy is not easy to deal with. It is hard to say how high the odds of winning are with the soldiers and horses in Liangshanbo.

The Jurchens quickly killed Gao Yongchang's main force. As for the rest of the fleeing people, they did not chase after them, but turned around and entered Liaoyang City, and began their looting.

"Let's go."

Sun Lei watched the battle and told everyone to leave. The Jurchen's fighting style was as fast as thunder. It took only half a day from the start of the fight to the victory of Liaoyang City. Near the Bohai Sea.
