Two days later, reinforcements from Yuzhou finally arrived.

The Liao army surrounding the city suddenly felt confident, sharpening their swords and preparing to attack the city.

Just when they were attacking Li and Rongcheng, General Pang arrived at the gate of Gaocheng on time with 80,000 soldiers.

At this time, General Deng was not in the city, but was directing the siege outside Rongcheng. Now only Yelu Zhenzong was in Gaocheng.

There were only more than 30,000 garrison troops in the city, and 80,000 soldiers of the Song Army came to the city. Yelu Zhenzong was panicked, and subconsciously wanted soldiers from the two cities to rush for reinforcements. He immediately thought that they were now at war and had fallen into a stalemate, making it impossible to return to the city for reinforcements.

The Song army attacked the city with great momentum. They attacked the city three times in half a day, and the city gate was knocked down and was on the verge of collapse.

However, the Liao army had rich experience in defending the city and still resisted tenaciously.

After attacking the city three times, the Song army suddenly retreated and camped five miles away. It seemed that they planned to give up today.

Yelu Zhenzong breathed a sigh of relief!

If the Song army organizes another attack on the city, he may not be able to stay there, and may abandon the city and retreat to Yuzhou.

Fortunately, the Song army retreated despite the difficulties!

They want to attack Gaocheng and relieve the danger of Licheng and Rongcheng. It's a pity that they think highly of themselves and think that they can capture Gaocheng with these 80,000 soldiers.

You've hit a brick wall!

Yelu Zhenzong once again took care of the defense in the city and prepared to rest.

My heart is hanging on my heart this day.

Tired!

In the Song Army camp, General Pang was arranging the next surprise attack mission.

"Wei Shuyu, you have to select a thousand soldiers who know Qinggong within an hour, bring Flying Tiger Claws with them, set out after dark, and be sure to open the city gate."

"The last general takes command!"

Wei Shuyu clasped his fists and went down first to select soldiers with outstanding dexterity.

"Dai Mengqiu, you lead 40,000 soldiers to bypass the north gate of Gaocheng. If the Liao army retreats here, use all your strength to stop it, but do not pursue it fiercely!"

"Yes, the general will take your orders."

"The rest of the people will rest where they are and wait for darkness to attack the city."

It's August now, and there are still two hours before dark. Wei Shuyu selects a thousand soldiers with good light skills within an hour, and equips them with the best tools and weapons.

Their mission is not to kill the enemy, they just need to fly up the city wall as fast as possible and open the city gate.

Dai Mengqiu led the army and took a detour from behind to the north gate of Gaocheng.

After dark, a thousand soldiers who had been prepared quickly arrived at the city wall like cheetahs ready to attack under the cover of darkness.

They leaned against the city wall, their ears pressed against it, and listened quietly to what was going on above.

About a quarter of an hour later, I heard more movement on the city wall than before. It was probably time to change defenses.

As for the patrol rules, they still need to find out.

About another quarter of an hour later, the soldiers with excellent internal strength heard regular footsteps approaching from far away, and then calmed down again.

The thousand soldiers did not take action immediately, but continued to wait patiently. This time for another quarter of an hour, regular footsteps sounded again above.

From this point of view, the time between their patrols should be a quarter of an hour.

We had switched defenses just now, so this was the right time to take action.

The leader of this thousand Song army was Wang Huilin. He looked up at the moon in the sky and estimated that it should be the end of Xu Shi.

There was a moon, but it was blocked by clouds from time to time, and it flickered brightly and dimly. The light was not very good. Wang Huilin put his hand to his lips and heard a few crows.

Crows also crow at night.

Moreover, there were particularly many crows in Gaocheng, and these cries did not attract the attention of the Liao army on the city wall.

The soldiers who heard the cry dispersed carefully, and when they were ready, they swung their flying tiger claws and clung to the city wall firmly.

"What's the sound?" When the Liao army heard the sound and wanted to lean over to check the situation, the man had already flown in front of him. Song Jun took out the dagger prepared on his waist and instantly killed the Liao army who wanted to check the situation. Touched his neck.

Then he quickly took off the flying tiger claw, placed it on the city wall, and slid it down.

Song Jun has been paying attention to the situation here.

The moment they flew up the city wall, the Song army, which was marching in concealment, was all ready to attack. They were waiting for the city gate to open and attacked the city in one go.

And these carefully selected one thousand people indeed lived up to their expectations.

The movements are crisp and neat!

With a clear purpose, he went straight to the city gate.

However, the Liao army who reacted was not a vegetarian and quickly organized personnel to resist.

These thousand soldiers must have deduced this situation when they came. Twenty of them ran towards the city gate, and the rest were all there to stop the Liao army.

The city gate is thick and heavy, and there are ten people on each side working together.

The city gate finally opened slowly!

Wang Huilin immediately fired the signal.

Green signal bombs exploded in the air, and the Song Army, which had been squatting not far outside the city, immediately rushed out and rushed to the city gate as fast as they could in their lives.

The moment the signal bomb exploded, Yelu Zhenzong happened to come out of the room after taking a rest.

"What was that just now?"

Yelu Zhenzong saw it, and a bad premonition emerged from his heart.

Personal guard Dao Yuli said: "Your Majesty, that seems to be a signal bomb from the Song Army. Judging from the distance, it should be within the city."

As soon as Yu Li finished speaking, the deafening shouts of killing came from far and near.

Yelu Zhenzong shouted: "Come, come, come and see what is going on."

"Report..."

Just as Yelu Zhenzong was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, a soldier's shout rang out from far away: "Your Majesty, the Song army has made a sneak attack and has entered the city."

"what?"

Yelu Zhenzong glared angrily at the soldiers who came to report: "How could the city gate be breached without making any sound when the city gate was heavily armed with handles?"

Just teasing him!

"Your Majesty, the Song Army sent a death squad of about a thousand people. They were extremely skilled in dexterity and moved very quickly. Before the soldiers could even react..."

The shouts of killing are getting closer and closer. If I don't leave now, I won't be able to leave later.

Yelu Zhenzong gritted his teeth and asked hundreds of personal guards to escort him away.

The soldiers in the city fought and retreated.

In the end, he decided to abandon the city and retreat to Yuzhou.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the city, they encountered the Song army that had already been ambushing here.

Eighty thousand Song troops attacked from front to back, basically annihilating the Liao army in Gao City. As for the Yelu Zhenzong, if it weren't for the protection of the casual cultivators he recruited, they would never have returned to Yuzhou in full.

The Song army that captured Gaocheng immediately divided its troops into two groups to rush to Licheng and Rongcheng.

The fighting did not stop until dawn.

The result of this battle was the greatest gain in the Liao campaign. About 50,000 Liao troops were annihilated, more than 10,000 were captured, and more than 20,000 escaped.

Zhao Zhen is so happy!

In addition, Su Yixin was feeding him the energy of the Five Elements, and now he felt that his body was in better shape.

Not to mention killing a cow, if there is a concubine by his side now, he will definitely be able to fight for several rounds.

Pity!

Zhao Zhen didn't care about sex, he just felt that he wanted to share such great results with others.

At this time, what flashed in his mind was not the late Concubine Chen, but the gentle-looking Empress Cao.
