first-class champion

Yelufeng's battle armor was also covered with blood, and the original color of the bright armor could not be seen anymore. Holding a knife, he ran while looking at the soldiers on the left and right, "Ouch," Yelufeng cried, and the whole body Everyone slid out. It turned out that there was a puddle of water on the ground, which had already frozen into ice, and snow fell on the ice again. Yelufeng stepped on it and couldn't stand firmly. It was more than two feet away, and it made him dizzy.

"grown ups,"

Several colleagues around him turned around and shouted, Yelufeng got up in a daze, and shouted: "Masters, leave me alone, the important thing is to take back the city gate,"

The few generals around him gritted their teeth, waved their hands and ran forward with the troops. Yelufeng asked the two soldiers to pull him up and looked around. He didn't know where his knife went. The snow is very thick, but it is hard to find.

"Wait a minute,"

Just after taking two steps, Yelufeng stopped suddenly, turned his head slowly, stared straight at the place he just slid to, his eyes gradually glowed strangely.

Several Khitan generals finally arrived in time, charged forward, and their momentum was unstoppable. The morale of the Yan army, which had been struggling to support under the city gate, was greatly boosted. Rushing into the enemy group like a wolf.

"Back, back,"

Yelufeng, who had already rushed to the city wall, ordered people to shout. The guards of the city gate and others heard the police and had just escaped under the city gate, when something poured down on the city like a heavy rain. He retreated to observe its movement, but it turned out to be boiling water, the water splashed on his body, the burning pain was unbearable, once it hit the ground, the heat boiled, the sky was covered with snow, and the ground was filled with water vapor, it was like a thick fog for a moment, and the city gate was blocked, and the inside and outside could not be seen depending on things.

Immediately afterwards, bundles of firewood were thrown under the city, and then hot water was poured again. At the same time, Yelufeng ordered his men not to save arrows.

Yelufeng used hot water originally to stop the enemy, he was also worried that the hot water should not freeze, but there was no way to achieve both, he was quite disturbed, but he didn't know that hot water is easier to freeze than cold water, Yelufeng slammed right on, The firewood piled up higher and higher, and the hot water was poured up layer by layer. When the arrows at the top of the city were at the top of the wall, and the enemy army could no longer take the city, an ice wall had already stood in front of the city gate, imprisoning the city gate. Plug it firmly.

In the past, on the grasslands, tribes used to freeze straw bales and water to form a wall in order to resist the cold wind. In winter, the tribe hid in the leeward place inside the wall. When the spring warmed up and the tribe migrated, the ice wall would collapse automatically The method of building a fortress, but he never thought of using it on Beiping City. Just now he slipped and saw the thin layer of ice under his feet, and suddenly thought of this, but he didn't expect it to work.

Duan Mingyu led the soldiers here, and after running for several miles, the blood of these soldiers ran away, full of energy, "high morale", but it was useless for them to come, in the confusion of heavy snow, those Tang soldiers saw such a miracle , I only felt that the Khitan army seemed to be blessed by heaven and was basically invincible, so I couldn't help but feel very frustrated.

Duan Mingyu had no choice but to return sullenly. Back in the big tent, looking at the sand table, she felt powerless. At this moment, Yang Zhaoniang ran in suddenly, and said triumphantly, "Brother Mingyu, I have it."

Duan Mingyu turned pale with shock, "What, you have it, which bastard did it,"

"What, where did you think, people said that I have a way to break the city..." Yang Zhaoniang's pretty face showed a blush, and she leaned into Duan Mingyu's ear and whispered for a long time.

"Can this work?" Duan Mingyu asked suspiciously.

"How do you know if you don't try it? For 40 people, one bag of sand per person is enough to fill it up," Yang Zhaoniang replied confidently.

"Okay, let's try it." Without further ado, Duan Mingyu immediately ordered each of the three armies to take a sack and fill it with a bag full of sand. It would be very useful for attacking the city the next day, and all the officers and soldiers of the three armies were suspicious.

When attacking the city on the second day, Yelufeng found that the Tang army was obviously just bluffing, and the attack was not so brutal, but he discovered a strange phenomenon, each of the Tang army was carrying a big sack, which turned out to be filled with sand. After these soldiers approached the base of the city wall with the support of bows and crossbows, they opened the sacks, dumped the soil to the base of the city wall and left without hesitation.

Each person has a bag of sand, the Tang army has a total of 40 people. Yelufeng didn't realize the truth at first, but in the end, when the poured sand piled up to half the height of the city wall, Yelufeng suddenly realized it, and couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart. Come cool.

Finally, in the evening, Duan Mingyu arrived at the foot of Yanjing City under the guard of his own soldiers. The city wall of Yanjing City was still high, but the giant sand tiger outside the city wall was about to cover the city wall, and he could climb up directly from the sand. As soon as he lifts the horseshoe, he can jump to the top of the wall. Duan Mingyu hugged a thin and handsome soldier beside him in surprise and kissed, "Zhaoniang, I love you to death," a faint gleam appeared on the soldier's cheeks. flush.

The next day, Youzhou City was broken, and the guard Yelufeng was defeated and committed suicide. Duan Mingyu stood on the top of Youzhou City, excitedly, and shouted, "Youzhou City has finally been conquered, and everyone can go home for the New Year."

The soldiers below all raised their knives and guns and shouted in unison, "Go home, go home..."
