Xiao Siwen was in a low mood, so Bai took Yanyan away.

Yanyan stayed in Bai's room, lying on the table without saying a word, staring at the candle flames with her eyes blankly, looking pitiful and listless. Bai's family was about to persuade her to go to bed, but Yanyan murmured, "I'm scared, but I dare not tell my father. I heard that people fly in the sky all day long in the city..."

"That's a rumor, don't be afraid." Bai quickly comforted.

Those Khitans were always arrogant and boastful in Youzhou, which was really hateful, but not all Khitans were so hateful, just like the little girl Yanyan in front of them. Bai usually felt that this little girl was very close to her, and now she sympathized with her even more... The Khitans were arrogant and powerful, but they did not expect that the strong would have their own strength to be the most powerful. When the war broke out, who could be completely safe?

Bai himself was uneasy and his face was pale.

She sat in front of the dressing table, lowered her head and saw her bald head. She hated this hairstyle very much! Now she not only hated it, but also felt that it would bring disaster. Looking at this scene, if the Zhou army entered the city and was in chaos, would she think of herself as a Khitan woman?!

Bai said nothing, prepared a pair of scissors, and planned to cut off her hair when the city of Youzhou was broken. Being a nun is better than burying the Khitans. Of course, she doesn't want to be killed by a Khitan woman. She was first raped by the Khitans, and now she is going to be treated as an enemy by the Zhou people. Wouldn't it be unfair?

She looked at Yanyan again and thought to herself that Yanyan was the daughter of the King of the South Courtyard and had a noble status, so she was not at the turn of her own concern.

Bai was sitting there, very frightened and didn't know where to go. It has been many years since her family was originally in Zhuozhou, and Zhuozhou had been slaughtered. After several vicissitudes, the Lu family must be gone...

This is the saddest thing for people. They are forced to be slaves and servants. When they are liberated one day, they find that there is no place to go.

...The situation in Youzhou City touches everyone's heart. The person who cannot let go of the most is its current owner, Xiao Siwen.

"Look up at the bright moon, and bowed down to think of my hometown." Xiao Siwen looked disappointed, looked at the moon in the night sky outside the carved window alone, and murmured a poem.

The breeze poured in and flipped the books and files on the table, making it sound like a silence that could not be said tonight was as if his mood could not calm down for a long time.

The country, family, individual, and a variety of feelings surged into my heart.

Thinking back then, the Khitans were just a banished state of the Tang Dynasty in the northeast. After several developments, their ancestors had today's huge territory and national power... Xiao Siwen couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he deduced the serious consequences after the Battle of Youzhou!

And his lifelong ambitions and personal future are now even more in the dark.

Xiao Siwen could not surrender. The Xiao family was second only to the royal family since the founding of the Daliao country. As the most prominent person in the Xiao family, he could not afford to lose his face!

He thought of death and apologized for his death!

But, what sins do I have? All sins are just imposed by others and have taken the disaster for others. What's more, even if he dies, he can't bear it.

Xiao Siwen calmed down and saw this clearly: the root cause lies in the power struggles in Daliao for many years, and he has never been able to clarify it. No one is the biggest crime in the near future. However, the person in power in Shangjing was the one who was in power. He had a broad strategy and lacked long-term vision and made mistakes again and again!

Xiao Siwen walked to the window and looked out the window, as if he had passed through Youzhou City and turned to a farther place.

He can't bear such a great responsibility... The Liao Dynasty has been in a dire situation for so many years, and the situation is getting worse day by day. Only one person can bear all such responsibility: Emperor of the Liao Dynasty! He must be a fool, violent lord, a sinner who has been infatuated for thousands of years. It is precisely because of Yelu Jing in power that the Liao Dynasty has entered such a situation!

The fall of Youzhou has reached the extreme of patience of the whole country in the Great Liao Dynasty.

...

Half a month later, the moat in Youzhou City was only filled with a large section.

After the long roar of cannons, behind the barriers of the Zhou army, the armor was rumbling and the infantry slowly moved forward and passed through the siege fortifications.

In front of the crowd, a group of horses rushed over. People quickly recognized that the horse in the middle was Emperor Guo Shao, and they looked over, and the troops started to clamor.

Guo Shao slowed down and looked back at the tall and thick Youzhou city wall. The bricks were covered with holes and the female wall above collapsed and the city wall still stood... It was impossible to smash the earth wall twenty or thirty meters thick by just the thrown stone! In the end, people had to use their rushing attacks until the fighting spirit of the defenders was exhausted. There was no other way.

Guo Shao looked at the men in front of him with some pain, and his eyes looked over their windy and sun-drained faces. He couldn't help but say, "The ancestors of the Han family have cut through thorns and thorns, and there is a place to cultivate. Our tribe settled in this hometown, fighting for survival and face! I hope that the blood of the soldiers can protect the family, country and the world and the people will be peaceful!"

The soldiers looked at Guo Shao as if they were looking at the gods. At this time, someone knelt down on the ground with emotion, and many people knelt down and shouted long live.

Soon, the drums in the camp behind sounded. A general drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, drive forward for Your Majesty, long live the Emperor of Great Zhou!"

For a moment, the armored soldiers rushed, pushing the ladder like a tide, carrying the ladder forward.

The troops braved the crossbows and the stone bullets advanced within a hundred steps. Suddenly, the huge cannon sound of "boom boom boom..." shook the sky and the earth.

A row of white smoke rose up. Almost instantly, the second row of artillery fired immediately, and fire was gushing from the ground, and gunpowder filled the smoke.

After several rounds of cannons fired, the drums were loud and the horns were loud. The people in front of him shouted, and countless people rushed up frantically in the rain of arrows.

Guo Shao turned to look south. The city walls in the distance were filled with black smoke. The ladders and tower cars were ignited with raging fires. The ignition arrows in the air were like meteor showers.

There will be a large number of casualties every day when siege like this. But Guo Shao cannot stop, he cannot stop people from dying... Perhaps, compared with the defeated casualties, as long as he can win, he has saved the lives of a large number of soldiers!

Even his throne and his prestige were forged in these countless bloodshed! The strong are alive, the weak are dead, and there is no choice.

The siege continued until dusk, and the city of Youzhou was already terrible. The Zhou army retreated to the defense line, but the matter was not over yet. A large number of wounded soldiers were carried to the wounded camp, and the groans were heard faintly in the smoke of gunpowder. More than 200,000 troops seemed to be licking their wounds in the setting sun.

A group of generals hurried to the Central Army camp, and the former camp military office was deploying to continue tomorrow's offensive.

The discussion continued until evening. At this time, the personal military general Qin Shitou, who was bent down until he was bent until he was around Guo Shao. He said, "The Yizhou Branch of the Military and Caosi received a secret report. Xiao Siwen might have to leave the city to fight in the early morning tomorrow?"

"Decisive battle?" Guo Shao was stunned for a moment. Shouldn't he break through, he said it was pretty good. He was happy all of a sudden, "Xiao Siwen did a good job, and it was a timely help."

Guo Shao almost thanked Xiao Siwen. He simply went out of the city to compete, so that many Zhou army soldiers could survive!

At this moment, another general came in and held a military salute on one knee: "Your Majesty, Xiao Siwen used a hanging basket to send the envoy out to send a letter of war, and he wanted to set up a decisive battle with the Great Zhou army!"
Chapter completed!
