The cold wind blew over and swept on his face, like a knife cut. There were thin clouds in the sky, and the sun was blocked by the clouds, revealing a desolate white.

Di Qing looked at Song Jun who had retreated again, his face turned pale and could almost drip water.

Yang Sui said: "Taiwei, the Taiwei Han in the north has left Xingqing Mansion and led the army to Hezhou. I heard that Zhao Zi's troops would gather all to Shengzhou, and even Juyan would be handed over to Zhang Ji. It seems that the Khitan needs manpower."

Di Qing nodded: "I naturally know. But if Lingzhou is not in the future, we can only be dragged here. Even if we divide our troops to attack Hengshan, we still have to surround Lingzhou. Our more than 200,000 troops are dragged by this city, which is really annoying!"

Zhang Yu, who was on the side, sternly said: "I don't believe that this city is so difficult to fight! Taiwei, send me a thousand soldiers and horses, and I will take people to fight the city!"

Di Qing said: "Today is different from the past. With your identity, how can you lead troops to the city!"

Zhang Yu said: "What else can I do? The artillery cannot collapse the city wall, and I can only attack the city from one side. The Dangxiang people hid early. When I was an ant to attack the city, they came back and could not break the city wall. If there were strong generals, they could climb up to the city and defend the city wall, there would be a way!"

Di Qing looked up at the pale sun in the sky, thought about it and then, and finally nodded in a key point: "Okay, this is a solution. Choose a thousand elite soldiers and immediately climb the city wall after the artillery bombardment."

Zhang Yu said: "There is no need to bombard the artillery shells that hit the city wall. When the ant came to the city, the Dangxiang people threw them down from the city wall and became a weapon to kill our soldiers. Among the 1,000 people I brought, I chose a hundred tall figures, each wearing iron armor and following me. When I hit this stage, I had to fight with the Dangxiang people head-on, to see if it was my sharp knife or their bones were harder!"

Di Qing hesitated for a moment: "This makes it impossible to do it if you don't need it."

Zhang Yu said: "It is better not to use it if you use it at this time! Dangxiang people have been fighting for so many days and there are fewer supplies. Don't give them shells again!"

Yang Sui said: "What Zhang Yu said makes sense. The Dangxiang people's artillery has been knocked out. There are not many artifacts to defend the city, and the shells are just for them to defend the city. It is better not to use artillery and use iron armor to climb the city to see how the Dangxiang people are."

Di Qing said: "It's not easy to climb the city with ant wearing iron armor. - Forget it, I've been delayed for so many days, so don't worry too much. I'll give you a thousand people and a hundred iron armors. Once you climb to the top of the city and guard a section of the city wall, you can get the soldiers behind you to go up. Remember not to kill many enemies, just guard the open gap!"

Zhang Yu crossed his hands and said yes. He turned around and left, and went to change to the iron armor.

Di Qing ordered people to go to the army to select a thousand particularly elite soldiers, and one hundred tall men followed Zhang Yu and attacked the city in iron armor.

Seeing the Song army retreat, the Dangxiang people on the city wall stood at the top of the city wall and insulted the Song army for fun. Lingzhou had been surrounded for some days, and they didn't know what the Dangxiang outside had turned out to be. As for what the Song army said, who would believe it? These days, the Song army has been attacking the city day by day and repelled again and again, and the morale of the Dangxiang army has risen. Everyone thinks that if the Song army fights for another 10 or 20 years, the Song army will not be able to attack the city wall.

At this moment, the Song army opposite was lined up, and there was a team of iron armor in front of him, which had never been seen before.

As usual, before the Song army sieges, they would use artillery to drive away the Dangxiang soldiers on the city wall, and then the siege infantry went forward and the ants climbed the city. This has become a standard procedure, and the Dangxiang people are used to it. As soon as they see the Song army lined up, they began to retreat to the city walls on both sides in an orderly manner.

After getting out of the city wall, I waited for a while and saw the siege of the Song army approaching the city wall, waiting left and right but no cannons were heard.

It was not until the army led by Zhang Yu reached the city wall that the commander General Dangxiang suddenly woke up and shouted: "No, the Song army will not fire artillery this time! Come back quickly to prevent the Song army from climbing the city!"

Zhang Yu was wearing iron armor and walked in front first. He ordered the soldiers around him to put the ladder onto the city wall and said sternly: "The sky is falling, and the ladder is not allowed to fall! If anyone is lazy, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, he climbed up the ladder first and strode towards the city.

The Dangxiang people on the front of the city shot with bows and arrows, but where can they penetrate the iron armor? Seeing that the bows and arrows were useless, the Dangxiang people rushed over with wooden twigs and pushed them out hard. The Song army down there held them tightly, stalemate with the Dangxiang people on the front of the city. Some of them could not help them, and the ladder was pushed down by the Dangxiang people, and the Song army on the ladder fell to the ground with the ladder.

The city was high and the main thing to defend was to roll wood and beat stones. A stone was thrown from the top of the city and hit the siege soldiers, which might take a life. Originally, before the Song army siege, they would use artillery to drive the Dangxiang army away. When the infantry climbed the city, the Dangxiang army quickly returned, and the shells on the top of the city happened to be weapons. This time, the Song army did not set off artillery, and the Dangxiang soldiers were very uncomfortable for a while.

The soldiers below received strict orders and held Zhang Yu's cloud ladder tightly. The soldiers of Dangxiang at the top of the city pushed the cloud ladder away from the city several times, and were helped back by the Song army. Zhang Yu's blood surged, and he used both hands and strode straight towards the city. Within a few breaths, he reached the city top and almost faced the soldiers of Dangxiang who were pushing the cloud ladder away.

With a loud shout, Zhang Yu pulled out the iron mace on his back and slammed the head of the Dangxiang soldiers in front of him with force. One person was missing, and the Song army below took the upper hand and leaned the ladder tightly against the city. Zhang Yu raised his divine power, waved the iron mace left and right, and broke the Dangxiang soldiers in the city in a few strokes. He grabbed the city with his left hand, and used force under his feet, and stepped onto the city with a big strode.

The Dangxiang soldiers on one side saw that the Song army had climbed the city, and surrounded them with swords and guns, shouted loudly. Zhang Yu blew the iron mace with his hand, smashed the swords and guns that were stabbing him, picked up a spear that the Dangxiang people threw at the top of the city, shook it violently, and pierced the Dangxiang soldiers who were forced into it.

Zhang Yu was protecting the ladder at the top of the city. The soldiers behind quickly climbed up to the city wall, surrounded Zhang Yu, and formed a small formation.

It is common to climb the city wall when siege, and the Dangxiang people are not panicked. A team of soldiers attacked, and the Dangxiang people behind them begin to shoot arrows. However, they do not expect that these Song soldiers were wearing iron armor and were not afraid of arrow injuries. Instead, they forced them to come forward and fight with the Dangxiang people.

Seeing that more and more Song troops were climbing the city, the generals of Dangxiang realized that something was wrong. This time, the Song army wore iron armor and was not afraid of the Dangxiang people's bows and arrows. Without attacking arrows, the Dangxiang people would no longer have powerful weapons and could only fight with the Song army on the top of the city.

One hundred iron armored Song troops surrounded the city wall for a short distance and forced the Dangxiang people out. The subsequent Song troops desperately went up to the city from this gap, and the number became more and more. There were iron armored soldiers in front and the Song troops behind, slowly forced the Dangxiang people back.

Di Qing saw it at the city and roared. The suffocation in his chest seemed to have been vomiting out in this roar, which scared the generals around him. They didn't know how much pressure Di Qing had been under these days.

Pointing to the top of the city, Di Qing sternly said: "Order the follow-up soldiers to go up to the city from where Zhang Yu fought! If anyone dares to fear and fails to advance, he will be killed! If anyone dares to rush forward, he will be killed! Today, he will fill the lives of the entire army and will also break through the city!"

Yang Sui and others on the side responded to the promise and quickly dispatched soldiers to immediately climb the city from the gap opened by Zhang Yu.

The Song army besieged Lingzhou City for more than a month. When they were winning consecutive victories in other directions, they were suppressed for a long time. For a moment, the entire army was cheering and a large number of soldiers attacked forward.

Not long after Wei Minglangbu came down from the city, he was having dinner in the official hall. Halfway through the meal, he heard a chaos in the city, and people and horses were neighing.

After throwing the rice, Wei Minglangbu called his personal soldiers and said sternly: "What's the chaos in the city? Send people to investigate immediately! Those who disturb the hearts of the people will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as the soldiers left the road, a city-drawn soldier came in and crossed his hands and said, "Taiwei, the Song army climbed the city!"

Wei Minglangbu was stunned for a moment, woke up, and asked hurriedly: "How can I climb the city? My army has been guarding for so many days, why are we going to make mistakes?"

The soldiers said: "The Song army suddenly sent a team of iron-armored ants to the city today, and there was no artillery fire before the attack, which disrupted the deployment of the city. The soldiers on the city were not prepared, which allowed the Song army to stand firm."

Wei Minglangbu was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. He had been in the army all his life, so how could he not know what it meant to be at the top of the city when siege? Only by standing up can the soldiers and horses outside the city come in continuously, and the city must have been broken.
