Firearms thrown from the air weakened the condescending advantage of the city wall. Under the cover of the rolling fire waves, the Hedong Army finally climbed onto the city wall and gradually began to expand its results.
The attack from the main city gate to the Wengcheng was extremely difficult for the Hexi Army. Because the explosives under the tunnel were in too many directions, the city wall was not damaged much by the blast. They had to use siege ladders to attack the Wengcheng.
The Hedong Army who stormed the city wall quickly attacked Wengcheng to resolve the resistance encountered by the Hexi Army. Under attack from both sides, the Yan Army was finally unable to resist and Wengcheng was captured. The two armies officially entered Yunzhou City.
Start searching for enemies along the streets.
Once the city wall is breached, the Yan army's fighting spirit will gradually lose, and many soldiers will give up resistance and begin to surrender.
Tian Yue always stayed on the north wall. Li Siye sent his son to attack on this side, mainly to contain the strength of the Yan army, so even the tentative attack was extremely fierce.
More than a dozen hot air balloons floated over the city wall, and the bombardiers smashed fire and thunder at the bottom, causing heavy losses to the Yan army. Even Tian Yue could only hide in the city tower and cursed loudly and manically: "The bastard Li Siye and his son
Where did all these weird things come from!"
Several defeated generals ran up to the tower to avoid the flames. The cloaks behind their shoulders had been burned to the point where only a rope was left. When the bombardier on the hot air balloon saw them, it was like seeing enemies, and he kept coming down with fierce fire and thunder.
, they ran and jumped to avoid the fire and thunder, one of which exploded at the gate of the tower. The two generals threw themselves into the tower with flames burning behind them.
As soon as they entered the door, they rolled on the ground to extinguish the fire. Several of Tian Yue's soldiers quickly went up and beat them with sheep felts, finally extinguishing the flames. The two men grinned in pain and gasped.
They stood up unsteadily, knelt on one knee in front of Tian Yue and crossed their hands and said: "Young General! The West Gate and South Weng City were both captured by the Hedong Army and the Hexi Army. They are coming towards this direction. Yunzhou City cannot be saved.
Please make plans early, Major General."
Tian Yue's red eyes widened and he said angrily: "Are you trying to persuade us to abandon the city and flee?"
"Major General, once the city is broken, the morale of the soldiers is lost and they are unable to hold on. The situation cannot be reversed. Only by withdrawing the troops can we preserve our strength."
"Shut up! If I just give up like this, how can I live up to my uncle's trust?"
"Major General, have you ever thought about it? If you and the army are lost in this Yunzhou City, you will be sorry for the entrustment of Doctor Tian! You have to keep the green hills, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood. As long as you and the brothers are still there, we will still
There is a chance to take back Yunzhou, but if everyone loses here, there will really be no chance."
This general was very earnest in order to survive, but what he said was indeed very reasonable. Tian Yue tugged at his beard and lowered his head in hesitation, while the people around him looked at him expectantly.
The shouts of killing outside were loud, and the fierce fire and thunder thrown by the enemy troops blasted through the roof, and the rubble fell one after another, causing everyone to hide and hide.
Tian Yue finally stopped hesitating, pulled out the horizontal sword from his waist and shouted to everyone: "Then break out of the siege and retreat to Youzhou."
The Hexi Army outside the North City Gate was so powerful that they could not force their way out of the city. Tian Yue had no choice but to choose the direction of the East City Gate as a breakthrough point and organize his forces to forcibly protrude outside the city.
The Hexi army surrounding the east gate was slightly weak. After the Yan army rushed out of the city, it quickly turned northward. After the generals on the east gate failed to intercept, they quickly sent people to report to Li Siye and asked if they should concentrate their efforts to pursue and block the attack.
After hearing this, Li Siye ordered: "Don't pursue the poor invaders. Our goal of capturing Yunzhou City has been achieved, so there is no need to create additional complications."
The battle in the city ended quickly, and most of the Yan troops who had not escaped began to surrender to the Hexi Army in an organized manner. Li Siye's banner entered through the north city gate, and surrounded by generals, he climbed onto the tower and looked toward the north.
"He said with confidence: "Yunzhou and Youzhou are the barriers to the north. We have captured Yunzhou and Youzhou is close at hand. The north is just around the corner."
A general came forward to report the losses and captures to him. In this battle, the three armies sacrificed more than 4,000 people, wiped out more than 15,000 Yan troops, and captured nearly 7,000 people. This was the most glorious result in the siege battle he commanded.
of a battle.
Shi Siming sent a large army to attack Hedong and used Yunzhou as a place to store grain and grass. Today, there are still 500,000 dendrobium grains in the city. Li Siye obtained these grains and grass, which provided a solid guarantee for his subsequent capture of Youzhou.
…
After Tian Chengsi returned to Youzhou, he immediately went to see Emperor Shi Siming who was sitting in Youzhou City and stated to him the reasons for the failure of the attack on Taiyuan.
Shi Siming was not very angry. He stood up from his chair and walked to Tian Chengsi, patted him on the shoulder and said: "In the final analysis, I made a mistake. Taiyuan City's defense is strong, and Li Siye is a tiger father and a tiger son. Our attack preparations
It was not sufficient in the first place, and I was motivated by temporary anger. Now that I think about it, it is really unwise to raise an army out of anger."
Shi Siming became very angry when he thought of his own son. Then he looked at Li Siye's son next door, and this was the true inheritance of his father. Shi Chaoyi's actions really made him doubt whether it was him or not.
As for Gao Zhi, who commanded the Tongluo cavalry, and Bi Chige, who led the Khitan and Xi tribes to fall into the river, they deserved it.
This incident also taught him a real lesson. All kinds of friendly forces that were paid to invite from outside could not be trusted or used. In the end, they actually hindered him. This was really a loss of money and a profit.
Although Shi Siming blamed himself so much, Tian Chengsi did not dare to assume that the responsibility was his. He had to take the initiative to apologize: "Your Majesty, I am the commander in chief of this battle, so naturally I have no shirk. It was me who failed to discipline and warn Gao Zhihe Bi."
Their perseverance made them arrogant and arrogant, and they underestimated their enemies. His Highness the Crown Prince treated them tolerantly along the way, which only fueled their arrogance."
Shi Siming cursed in his stomach: "You son of a bitch has embarrassed me."
He turned around to comfort Tian Chengsi and said: "It doesn't matter if Taiyuan is not captured. As long as Yunzhou is still in our hands, we can always be ready to accumulate strength to attack Hedong. There are dangerous mountains blocking Taihang, so only Yunzhou can attack Taiyuan."
The smooth road.”
Tian Chengsi patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The city of Yunzhou is impregnable, and there are 500,000 dendrobiums of grain and 40,000 Youyan men stationed there. No matter how capable Li Siye's son is, he will not be able to capture Yunzhou."
.”
"In this case, you can return to Yunzhou to garrison as soon as possible. Only when you are there to guard me can I rest assured."
Just as Tian Chengsi was about to resign and leave, a eunuch supported by Shi Siming hurriedly ran over and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from Yunzhou City. Li Siye has gathered an army of 120,000 to besiege Yunzhou. The city has been destroyed. General Tian Yue has already
Lead the remaining troops to withdraw from Yunzhou."
"Impossible! How is it possible!" Tian Chengsi argued in disbelief: "Li Chongbao led his army into Taiyuan not long ago. Even if he could easily control the Hedong Army, he would not be able to gather 120,000 people. Moreover, Yunzhou City is heavily guarded.
The barrier is guarded by my nephew Tian Yue! You know Tian Yue, Your Majesty, although his ability is still immature, his ability to defend the city is first-rate."
Shi Siming could not hide his anger at first, but when he saw Tian Chengsi covering up his defense in front of him, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, and kept patting the other person's shoulders with his hands, making Tian Chengsi even more frightened and intimidated.
