First, he heard a loud noise, and then Xiao Huoer's ears could not hear anything. A warm wind blew his face almost suffocated. The war horse under his crotch weakened his legs and fell to the ground, pressing his legs tightly.

After the personal soldiers rescued him from under the war horse, he ignored the pain on his body and watched the battlefield immediately.

The scene in front of him shocked him. Three chariots as high as the city wall disappeared. Some broken wood was scattered on the ground. A huge wheel suddenly appeared in his military formation, creating a flesh-filled open space in the cavalry group.

Hua Tianshou, who had already come down from the war horse, stood aside obediently. At this time, it was very unwise to tease people who thought they were ashamed and angry. However, the bloody fact in front of him made him secretly happy. In the face of such facts, Xiao Huoer could not be allowed to bow his head.

At Xiao Huoer's order, the Liao troops on the battlefield who were lucky enough not to approach the city slowly retreated in a panic. Today's siege seemed to have ended here.

Xiao Huoer didn't know that Ge Tianfang, who was standing at the top of the city, was even more nervous than him. He could even hear the city wall under his feet making the final whine. Seeing the Liao people retreating, he shouted loudly: "Retreat, all the people retreat, retreat to the wall, hurry up and go down from the city wall, it is almost collapsed!"

After the yell, the first one ran down from the city wall and kept urging Tan Wei to come down from above. Tan Wei ignored this and only ordered his subordinates to quickly transfer the crossbows. Without the crossbows, it was impossible to defend the crossbows. Once the Liao people's catapults lost their concerns, they would use stones to bury the entire crossbows.

The big explosion just now completely destroyed the city wall. The first thing that fell was the stone shell outside. When the stone shell fell, the city wall scattered silently like a pile of loose sand.

This scene was different from what Ge Tianfang thought. He never dreamed that a tall city wall was filled with loose sand.

Tan Wei's legs were buried in the loess, and he stood there stupidly with a crossbow on his shoulder. His soul seemed to be gone. When he saw a hand protruding out from the loess beside him, he shuddered, threw away the crossbow's rack, and digged the soil with his hands like crazy. When he digged out a head full of loess, he could breathe, and he took off the soil in his mouth and nose in a few moves. One was gasping loudly, while the other laughed like crazy.

"Grandpa, stop laughing. The Liao people rushed up again." Ge Tianfang helped Tan Wei pull another subordinate out of the soil. He didn't have time to search for if there were anyone else who was buried alive. He dragged the crossbow rack and rolled into the urn.

Lang Tan looked at the two embarrassed subordinates. The clouds on his face seemed to be able to squeeze out water. In just one day, the outer city had been lost. Although the collapsed city wall was only part of the front, the existence of a gap dozens of feet wide was not much different from the fall of the whole city. He discovered the shortcomings of the city defense, so he built the urn. However, time did not wait for anyone, and the Liao people had already arrived before the inner city was built.

The Guanghua Army has always been a army trusted by the people elsewhere. As long as the Guanghua Army wants to build city defense, the local people will often give their all their help. In the narrow barriers, no matter what he says, even taking out food and money, the people are indifferent, as if everything here has nothing to do with them.

The sorrow is greater than the death of the heart. For Lang Tan's Guanghua Army, the people here are just weeds in the wilderness, cut down tree stumps, and just some human-shaped creatures. They have nothing to do with the Song Dynasty and the army. Lang Tan even thought that if he sent a bandit to these people as the city lord, he would also come forward to worship him dumbly, and then scatter.

The dispersed human hearts and the dispersed city walls are generally not worthy of dependence.

When Ge Tianfang forced the people to evacuate the day before yesterday, the aggressiveness and hostility shown by these people made Lang Tan feel cold. They actually thought that the Liao people would not do anything to them after they came, as long as they were obedient enough. It was not until Ge Tianfang brought these people to the city of Wengcheng and saw countless burnt bodies of Liao people that they completely gave up. Some elderly people pointed at Lang Tan and accused him of causing disaster to the people who were in the same gate.

This made the soldiers of the Guanghua Army unable to find a reason to fight, and this was the biggest trouble.

Seeing the Liao people ants coming out of the hole, Lang Tan could only order the Eight Niu Crossbow and the Bird Cannon to cover the place. After repelling the Liao people's attack, Lang Tan was preparing to repair the scattered city wall. After walking there and looking at it, he realized that no matter what he did, it would be futile, and there was no possibility of repair here at all.

After burying countless gunpowder, Lang Tan returned to the city and sat at the table and started writing documents. The bad situation here must be told in detail that it was difficult to complete the task of persevering for ten days. He focused on the people's support and morale changes in the army. The army could not fight on both the city defense and logistics. The Guanghua Army had only 10,000 people, but the defense area was large. This was a serious shortage of manpower for the Guanghua Army, which has always relied on the people for logistics.

There was no smile on his brutal little face. He also knew that the situation facing the Guanghua Army is very bad now. Once the Guanghua Army lacks war horses and does not have the protection of the city, the fate will not be much better than his own tribe. He can't escape the cavalry by relying on his legs, especially in the Hetao area, which is most suitable for cavalry attacks and power.

In the early morning, the eagle took Lang Tan's letter away. Lang Tan stood on the urn city and watched the eagle fly away, but soon a smile appeared on his face, because the eagle fell down just after it flew up.

"The Grand Marshal is only fifteen miles away from us, right in that valley!" Bobo was very happy. Fifteen miles happened to be the best distance for cavalry to attack. The war horses from warming up to running at full speed in the end. This distance is the best.

In fact, Yun Zheng watched yesterday's battle coldly. Except for the sudden collapse of the city wall, nothing else was beyond his expectations. When the city wall collapsed, he had to modify his combat plan. Until now, Xiao Huoer was still cautious in gathering his army in a circle within a radius of five miles. It was difficult to attack.

So the reply he replied to Lang Tan was only simple two words: "Stand to stick!"

Xiaolin walked to Yun Zheng with a gloomy face and said, "Hua Tianshou is not a simple person, he is a remnant of the Maitreya Sect."

"Maitreya Cult? Gao Tansheng was killed by me, and Fang Xiandong was lured and killed by Han Qi in Hejian Prefecture. Bai Tieyu heard that he had fled overseas. The Maitreya Cult in the Song Dynasty has been gradually wiped out over the years. How can the Maitreya Cult come out again?"

Xiaolin said: "Yesterday I found clues and raided Henggu Village, the abandoned military camp of the Volcanic Army. There were found the altar of the Maitreya Cult and the sacrificial texts, and captured six people. After the interrogation, they admitted that they were Hua Tianshou's old subordinates. The earliest they believed in Hou Ziguang, the prince of Yanchuan Buddha. The generation of Pianguan was the "Little Qin State in Public" founded by Hou Ziguang.

Yun Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No wonder Lang Tan said in the letter that the people here are not in love. He was hitting walls everywhere in Pianguan. Even if he took out gold and silver, he could not find the people who helped him. In the end, he had no choice but to migrate the people who were in Pianguan out of the city. He found that these people were likely to help Liao Kingdom deal with him. It turned out that the crux of the people was here.

As long as the Maitreya Cult is involved, it should not be underestimated. When Gao Tansheng was a man who had been in a nightmare, he finally killed him with the help of the Xixia people. Now Hua Tianshou jumped out again, thinking that this person was just involved in corruption. Unexpectedly, he was actually a member of the Maitreya Cult. The Maitreya Cult is really my good friend, and he can meet them no matter where he goes.

Since Hua Tianshou is in the Liao army camp, the troops we hidden in Huangjiazhai may not be able to hide much time. Now is the time for us to fight for time with the Liao Kingdom, and see who God gives the time."

Xiaolin smiled bitterly and said, "Time is probably not optimistic for us. Guo Hengchuan is fighting with Li Dongchu at Yanmen Pass. This person is extremely tenacious and has suffered countless soldiers in the 18 Pan and refused to take a step back. According to the scouts, Guo Hengchuan was already red in this time. No matter how Xiaoshi used the two puppets, it would have no effect on Guo Hengchuan. Now Li Dongchu is ready to abandon the 18 Pan and retreat to Tiegu Mountain and continue to deal with Guo Hengchuan based on the more dangerous terrain. It is not worth the consumption of the 18 Pan and the Liao people.

Yelu Dagu's attack on Ningwu Pass was as fast as a fire. Fortunately, Jiang Zhe's city defense was extremely perverted, and the power of the lever torch made the Liao people suffer a lot. I heard that the Liao people could not even pick up the bodies under the city. If the city defense of Ningwu Pass was the same as that of Panguan, we might as well retreat to Yanmen Pass and forget about it. What else can we fight?

Overall, time seems to be beneficial to the Liao people."

"It is really time for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to come to Yanmen Pass to see how rotten he relies on the Great Wall-like Yanmen Pass. Our internal integration has not been completed. What kind of war are we busy starting? After a battle, everything is exposed. The fatigue of the border, the poverty of the people, the government, and now with the rampant cults, God knows that there is still a big trouble waiting for us.

Let’s send the order, the whole army will rest and recuperate. As long as the fighter appears, we will rush on it. There is really no time to pay attention to the results of the battle. You are right. If we want to win in the battle of Yanmen Pass, we will not be able to win without bleeding."

After Yun Zheng gave the order, he returned to a small tent to accumulate energy. There would be no such opportunity in the next days.

Xiaolin clenched his fists and turned around and left. He caught six spies. He had to squeeze out all the news they knew. The horrific thing about the city wall spreading out was that the city wall was scattered. He wanted to know how they passed the inspection of the Ministry of Works when the city wall was built. How did a bandit in Maitreya serve as a guard general for more than ten years without being known. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
