I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

In the afternoon, the Khitans began to attack the city. Due to the hasty preparations, Mayi City did not prepare many defensive equipment. However, the extremely cold weather also brought excellent protection to Mayi City. All it took was pouring some water on the city wall. , it quickly froze, giving Mayi City a layer of hard armor.

Viewed from a distance, under the sunlight, the entire city of Mayi seems to be surrounded by a layer of light curtain, which is very gorgeous and sacred.

The Khitans did not make a trebuchet, but directly carried the siege ladder and simple siege awl and began to attack Mayi City.

The slippery ice underfoot made it extremely difficult for the Khitans to attack.

The extremely cold weather brought great convenience to Liu Sheng, who directly asked people to boil snow water on the city wall.

The boiling water will not only make the Khitan soldiers cry out because of the scalding temperature, but the subsequent cold will also cause another injury.

The Khitan's attacks were not violent and were extremely scattered.

Liu Sheng divided the city defenders into three groups, one group lit the gunpowder cans and kept throwing them into the distance, the other group lit the gunpowder cans and threw them down the city wall, and the other group held spears in hand and stared at the Khitan soldiers climbing up the city wall.

After several explosions, the Khitan soldiers seemed to have become accustomed to such loud noises and no longer panicked.

Although he was a little panicked, he was still under control and not as scared as before. After knowing that this was the method of the Song people and not a punishment from the gods, he started to climb up the city wall again.

After a battle, Liu Sheng discovered that the Khitans would move toward the explosion site, and some would pick up some gunpowder cans that shattered before they exploded.

Unfortunately, even if the gunpowder jar was broken, the gunpowder inside would burn out on the ground. The Khitans would dig up the soil and the gunpowder residue and retreat in a hurry.

Liu Sheng immediately understood that the Khitans wanted to obtain the gunpowder formula.

No wonder the Khitan team stood very loosely.

Understanding the Khitans' plan, Liu Sheng forbade throwing gunpowder cans far away. It would be too bad if a dumb bomb was picked up by the Khitans.

Moreover, the Khitan people stood too spread out, and the lethality of the gunpowder pots was far less than before.

It would be better to directly use a pump (an ancient device that uses compressed air to spray out kerosene) to spray water on the Khitan people, which would cause more damage.

This Khitan attack was more like a test, but they hurriedly withdrew their troops after leaving hundreds of corpses behind.

It seems that it is not for the purpose of capturing Shuozhou, but for the gunpowder pot.

Thinking about it, if it is for Shuozhou, it will be easier to capture the entire Shuozhou after the snow melts in spring next year. There is no need to let the sergeants suffer greater harm in this extremely cold weather.

But even if you want the gunpowder formula, you can slowly figure out the Khitan people. Why is this?

Liu Sheng thought for a long time and there was only one possibility, and that was that something had happened within the Khitan.

Yerunan urgently needs gunpowder, a big killer, to go back and help change something?

So Liu Sheng couldn't think of the second answer.

It seems that due to Liu Sheng's arrival, the entire timeline seems to have been moved forward.

Liu Sheng could not remember the specific time, but Liu Sheng remembered that Fang La's peasant uprising took place before the attack on Liao.

At this moment, it happened at the same time.

Hu Xing also said that the Jurchens and the Khitan had formed an alliance.

Liu Sheng did not believe this news, but according to the history books Liu Sheng read, there was no peace talks between the Jurchens and the Khitan at all.

Wanyan Agu has been chasing the Khitans since he raised his troops.

Even after the entire Khitan was destroyed, there was no intention of forming an alliance.

Although he didn't want to believe it, Liu Sheng understood that some things were beyond his understanding.

Liu Sheng wanted the Khitan to be destroyed, but he didn't want the Khitan to be destroyed so quickly. He had to give the Jurchens great lethality, otherwise the Jin people who would rise later would be simply invincible. Except for Yue Fei's rise, almost no one could stop him during this period. Although there were There are various reasons, but I have to say that the more barbaric Jin people are indeed powerful.

He is confident that he can stop the Golden Man, but it will take time to develop.

Liu Sheng didn't mind letting the Khitans master gunpowder and the Jurchens to consume each other.

But Liu Sheng did not know the outside information at this time and could not help him make a correct judgment.

In addition, Liu Sheng was not sure whether the Khitans would let the Jurchens learn gunpowder after they mastered the method of making gunpowder.

But if the Jurchens and Khitan fight, and Liu Sheng does not support the Khitan, and Song also sides with the Jurchens, then the Khitan will be destroyed very quickly.

Liu Sheng stood at the top of the city and kept looking at the Khitan camp in the distance until dark, and the Khitans had no plans to attack the city again.

At this time, the moon is above the brow, and the bright moonlight shines on the snow-white earth, illuminating the night like day.

Liu Sheng found Wu Ze and asked him to attack the Khitan camp at night.

Wu Ze looked at the moonlight and then at the Khitan camp in the distance.

"Brother Sheng, shouldn't a night attack be chosen when it's dark and windy and the enemy can't see it? What's the difference between walking over like this and walking over in broad daylight?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "You think this kind of weather is not suitable for a night attack. Will the Khitan generals also think so?"

Wu Ze felt that what Liu Sheng said made sense, so he immediately brought 1000 people with him. Each person carried ten fire oil cans with gunpowder. Some of these gunpowder cans would explode, and some would not, but when burned, they were amazingly powerful. .

Wu Ze and his party quietly walked to the Khitan camp.

Liu Sheng also led 300 people to follow Wu Ze.

No less than a thousand gunpowder cans were buried behind Wu Ze's marching route, all connected in series.

Just as Liu Sheng was getting ready, Wu Ze was spotted by the Khitan sentry tower, who beat gongs and drums wildly to signal an enemy attack.

The Khitans seemed to be what Liu Sheng thought. They didn't expect that someone would attack the camp.

Wu Ze led his men directly into the camp. Without any nonsense, Wu Ze lit the gunpowder can and threw it into the tent. After a while, Liu Sheng saw the Khitan camp burst into flames.

The Khitan people also reacted very quickly. After discovering that there were only a thousand soldiers in the night attack, they were no longer nervous. Regardless of Wu Ze who was rushing in, they directly blocked the exit and wanted to eat the thousands of Song troops.

Wu Ze also discovered the Khitan people's intention and led the team to use the gunpowder jar to open the way and rush back. The Khitan people all knew the power of the gunpowder jar and did not dare to step forward to stop them. Just like that, Wu Ze rushed out again, taking the heads with him. He ran to Mayi without returning.

The Khitans were just about to organize their manpower to prepare for the pursuit, but were stopped by Yerunan.

"The Song soldiers in Shuozhou are showing something strange everywhere. If they retreat, don't chase them. Check the damage in the camp to see if there are any gunpowder cans left by the Song people."
