The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1669 Fire Attack
"The Liao army has already entered from Beigukou, and all our defenders stationed at Beigukou have been sacrificed. They are rushing towards Tanzhou City."

In the past few days, Tanzhou City has been full of scenes of people migrating, and there are also scenes of troops transporting food and grass. However, this is the Liao Kingdom, but it has crossed Beigukou. Do you want to attack Tanzhou? This timing is really good, Song Dynasty The army is not ready to fight yet, even if you are not ready, it doesn't matter, the Liao Kingdom can't say that it doesn't matter, we are waiting for you here, when you are ready, we are going to war.

"I told the common people not to bring anything, and the imperial court will distribute them when they get there, so they don't have to worry, and let the soldiers in our city get ready for the battle, it's too late now, if you delay If you do, something will happen, hurry up."

Zhao Xu just thought for a while before making a decision. These people are packing up their things, pots, pans, etc., they have to clean up, otherwise they would have already left, and now time is running out. Yes, the important thing is to let them leave as soon as possible. This is the business.

The city of Tanzhou is in a state of panic now, and the people are leaving the south gate with their families. The notice in the city also said that now the Khitan people are coming, and they are leaving here. This time, the court is fighting for the Khitan to the death. If the people in the west of Zhejiang stay here, there will definitely be more problems, and it may become a burden by then.

The people also knew their situation, and they were very obedient, so they left quickly. They also knew the cruelty of the Khitan people, and they would only suffer if they stayed here. , but must now leave.

"Hurry up, people. The Khitans are not far from us now. Only when you are safe can we let go of our hands and feet and fight hard with the Khitans. When peace comes, can you still come back? Hurry up, everyone. Rest assured that your life is guaranteed, the imperial court will provide you with everything.”

Tao Bing also personally went to the battle to urge the people to leave. At least all the people left, but it was a day later. At this time, the army of the Liao Kingdom had already arrived at the city, and they had already started to call for battle. This time they came Needless to say, the Liao army has a strong lineup, and it is more energetic than before.

"I didn't expect them to come so fast. Now our city's troops can't stop these people at all. The Liao Kingdom really wants to fight us here this time. I think there are no less than 30 people outside."

I mainly looked at the dark crowd outside the city wall and the tents stationed, and estimated that there were about 30 people.

"They claim to have 30 people. I think it is less than this, because they are all exaggerated, bluffing and they are not opponents in tough battles."

Wang Yansheng is a veteran who has fought in the frontier for many years. He still has some experience and has his own unique insights on many things.

"Yes, back then Cao Cao also claimed to have an army of 80, but it turned out to be 30 to [-]. We are not afraid of them. Now that they are fighting outside the city, do we have to deal with it for a while?"

Gao Qiong couldn't bear it long ago, he wanted to go down there and compete with others, he didn't care about his youth, youth is the greatest wealth.

"Don't act rashly, do everything according to our opportunity, and Zhao Xu, you must not think too much, you must kill Zhao Xu thoroughly, otherwise everything will be over."

Zhao Xu glared at him. They also had a plan, so they couldn't mess up the plan, or they would suffer even more losses.

While they were discussing, the sound of horns sounded outside. It was the sound of the Liao Kingdom attacking. They attacked as soon as they arrived. Are these people crazy? Otherwise, how dare they make such a move.

"Follow me up to the city wall to see, what are these Liao people trying to do?" After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he took the lead, and when he arrived at the top of the city, a large group of people fell down. These were the soldiers of the Song army defending the city, and the Khitan people below were still The fighting spirit is high, and the Liao flag is flying in the wind.

The wind howled and the arrows flew.

Pots of boiling fire oil poured down from the top of the city, and the densely packed crowd on the ground wailed in pain.

Above the city wall was already a Shura hell, where countless people risked their lives to fight desperately.

There are only two kinds of people in their eyes, their own people and their enemies.

"The Great King of the Southern Court has ordered that the first person to climb to the top of the city will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep, and a hundred slaves will be promoted to commander."

Xiao Tianzuo exerted all his energy and shouted loudly, the people below are well-learned,
Countless loud voices shouted with all their strength behind the battlefield, their voices were like a kind of stimulant, stimulating the army in front of them, constantly charging towards the towering city wall.

In an instant, the casualties of the Song Army increased, and the people below were densely packed. They were not afraid of life and death. Even bows, arrows, rolling stones and trees could not stop their pace. China's Tanzhou.

"Okay, let's get started, let's roast the whole lamb today."

Zhao Xu looked at the current situation and immediately ordered these people to act quickly. The soldiers behind each carried a ceramic basin with something dark inside. They came to the city wall without saying a word , directly poured it down, and what's more, directly threw the pots into the distance. The Liao army began to panic for a while, thinking it was the secret weapon of the Song army, and found that there was nothing wrong with splashing on them, so rest assured Now, continue their crazy attack.

As for Song Jun, while defending, he was still doing useless work, and there were still pottery pots coming up and pouring things down. Anyway, he went back and forth many times.

There will be deaths on both sides. Compared with the Liao army, the casualties are more serious, but it is also normal. It is most normal that there are not many deaths in the war. Soon Zhao Xu stopped those who continued to carry the ceramic basin, and didn't let them continue. They went up to the city wall, and the clay pots in their hands were replaced with torches. Holding torches in broad daylight is a bit funny.

"Throw!"

Zhao Xu gave an order, and a dozen people with torches threw them down towards the crowd below. They were scattered, and it was only the people below who realized that the torches were for them.

Because they soon discovered that it was the kerosene of the Song Dynasty just now, and the smell was not as strong as before, and they didn't care about it when they were attacking the city. Soon, the small flames turned into a climate at this time. , caused great casualties in the Khitan army, and there were fires everywhere, and the leather clothes worn by Liao soldiers themselves were more likely to catch fire. The fire was like a fire dragon constantly devouring their lives.
