Under the city of Datong, the Song army pushed the siege cart forward in the rain of arrows. Although the artillery and bows in the rear were shooting at the top of the city, they could not completely suppress the archers on the top of the city. After all, the other party was condescending and could exert the power of the bows and arrows. In addition, the city gate had long been blocked, and even with the cannons, it could not be opened. After all, with the lessons of the Xijin Mansion, the Datong Guardian had already been prepared to deal with it.

In this case, the Song army could only use traditional siege tools, such as siege cars, ladders, etc., and also used cannons to suppress the city head. Some people under the city were digging the city walls to prepare to fill the siege barrels. This thing was a huge gunpowder cartridge and it must be stuffed into the city wall to be effective.

However, the Liao army at the top of the city had long known the terror of the siege tube. After all, the city walls of several other states were blown up by the siege tube, so at this time the Liao army desperately threw down the wooden rocks, trying to smash the turtle cart below.

However, the artillery of the Song Dynasty was not vegetarian, especially as long as the Liao army on the top of the city dared to emerge, they would immediately be shot by them. For a moment, the remaining limbs and blood on the top of the city flew together, screams and roars sounded.

Liu Ping stood in the middle army on a horse, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the cruel battle on the city. Although the Liao army suffered heavy casualties, the Song army also suffered casualties at every moment. It would be better if they were killed directly in battle. The worst thing was that those who were seriously injured and did not die, could only let out shrill screams. If there was no rescue from their companions, the enemy's bows and arrows were often waiting for them.

Liu Ping looked at all this very calmly at this time. Even if the casualties were too great, he did not frown. This was not because he was cold-blooded, but because of the basic qualities of the generals. After all, they understood one truth from the first day they entered the army, that is, there is no one who will die in war, not only other people's lives, but sometimes their own lives can be thrown on the battlefield at any time.

"Boom~" With a loud bang, the cold-blooded siege tube finally exploded. The Liao army on the top of the city was also staggered. The Liao army located directly above the explosion point flew into the sky and was already split in the air. After the dust after the explosion disappeared, there was a nearly half of the collapsed gap at the city wall. Although the gap was blocked by broken bricks and stones, you could enter the city as long as you climb up.

"The first person to enter the city will be rewarded with a thousand guan, and upgraded to two levels!" Seeing a gap in the city wall exploded, Liu Ping, who was supervising the battle behind, finally showed an excited expression and immediately issued a high reward. The messenger below immediately shouted out his reward, which also made all the soldiers who heard it very energetic. After all, for them, this was a sky-high reward. If they could get it, they would not have to worry about it in their lives!

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, especially during this period of time, the Song army almost swept across the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which also allowed the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to build incredible confidence in their hearts. The fear of the Liao Kingdom before had long been thrown out of the sky, and their morale reached a peak. In particular, the only one in the Sixteen Prefectures was left. If they could not get the reward, there would be no chance in the future.

Under such circumstances, everyone was fighting for the first place. In a short while, the first group of people climbed over the gap and entered the city. Then the sound of grenade explosions came from the city, and there was also the sound of muskets "bang" and there were also the Song army fighting with the Liao army on the top of the city. At this time, the Liao army could no longer support it. They were killed by the Song army and retreated one after another, and the area controlled by the Song army was gradually expanding.

"The overall situation has been decided, and the city is broken today!" Liu Ping immediately shouted excitedly when he saw the performance of the soldiers on the city. Then he suppressed the two new forces behind the palace directly. The Song army's offensive was even more fierce. The Liao army on the city had been driven down, and the Song army in the city also occupied a certain territory. It can be said that the victory has been laid.

Seeing this, Liu Ping and others in the central army were relieved, and then sent people to start cleaning up the soil and rocks in the gap. The surroundings of the gap were already occupied by the Song army, and a passage was soon cleared out. Then the cavalry rushed into the city, and the Song army expanded faster and faster in the city, and the area controlled by the Liao army was quickly compressed to the north of the city.

It's getting dark now, but the war is not the day or night, especially the current situation is beneficial to the Song army, so Liu Ping also ordered the army to continue to move forward and strive to capture the entire Datong Mansion tonight.

The Liao army in Datong Prefecture was unexpectedly tenacious. Even though it lost most of the city's areas, it still refused to surrender. It even organized several charges at night, and was taken back by them. This made Liu Ping angry and anxious. After all, the only one of the Datong Prefectures in Yanyun was left. As long as it was captured here, the entire Yanyun would fall into the hands of their Song Dynasty, and he would fulfill the wish of countless Song people over the past hundred years.

However, although Liu Ping was anxious, he knew that he was a little too impatient before, otherwise the Liao army would not have seized the opportunity to regain so many areas. So after dawn, he sent people to rotate the soldiers on the front line and fought for the whole night. After all, the Song army was huge, and only used a part of them last night, so he could completely rotate them.

In contrast, the Liao army was only less than 10,000 people left, and they were exhausted at this time. Then Liu Ping personally commanded the army to fight for the streets with the Liao army again. This time he began to advance steadily, occupying one street and one street. Now the Liao army was forced to retreat continuously and finally retreated into the palace.

Datong is one of the Liao capitals, and there are naturally emperors' palaces in the city. Although the emperor rarely comes to Datong, the palace is essential, but the size is smaller, but the walls are still built, like a city in the city. There are special people in the palace to take care of it, and ordinary people are strictly prohibited from entering. However, at this special moment, the Liao army retreated into the palace and wanted to rely on the walls of the palace to defend it.

"General, do you want to transfer artillery to open the city gate?" Cao Mata stepped forward and asked. There were about six to eight thousand Liao troops hiding in the palace. If these people were not eliminated, the other party might be able to emerge from the imperial city at any time, which would also be a big threat to them. Therefore, it would be better to enter the imperial city in one go and completely control the entire Datong Mansion.

Liu Ping showed a hesitant expression at this time. If it were normal, he would definitely command the army to enter the imperial city immediately. Although the imperial city in front of him was very strong and the palace walls were no worse than the real city wall, the other party retreated into the imperial city in a hurry, so he would definitely not have time to seal the city gate. He should be able to use artillery to blast it open. However, he thought of receiving news from the rear some time ago, which made him hesitate a little.
