Wan Yanliang was wearing a general's armor and standing on a wooden archery tower. He looked at the siege soldiers below who were ready to go, drew his sword and shouted: "Attack the city!" These golden soldiers were carrying ladders. , shouting and rushing towards the city like a tide.

The city wall of Yunnei Prefecture was too high. The ladders used by the Jin soldiers had to be connected to reach the top of the city. The soldiers in the army kept shouting loudly: "Anyone who goes to the top of the city will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. If you attack the top of the city, you will be rewarded." The reward is three hundred taels of silver. If you don't retreat, you will be killed!"

The Jin soldiers crossed the pontoon bridge one after another to the bottom of the city, put the ladders on the wall, and climbed up. The archers who were covering the city fired bows and arrows at the Liao soldiers on the top of the city. When the Jin soldiers attacking the city were halfway up, a gong sounded on the top of the city. With a sound, the Liao army in Yunnei Prefecture poured hot oil on the city. The Jin soldiers screamed in agony. However, the Jin soldiers had strict military discipline, and the swordsmen and axemen supervising the battle followed closely behind, and they would chop after retreating. After the wave of hot oil, although Jin Bing was afraid, he quickly attached the ladder and climbed up again.

The hot oil poured by the Liao army was quickly finished, but the second wave was the burning wood and torches that burned the oil below the stove, as well as the rockets fired downwards by the Liao army. The hot oil that had just been poured under the city met the fire and burned quickly. When they got up, there was a sea of ​​fire under the city. The Jin soldiers were afraid and could not escape. Many jumped into the moat. Not many Jurchen soldiers could swim, and hundreds of them drowned.

The flames gradually extinguished, and amidst the shouts and curses of the swordsmen, the follow-up troops of the Jin soldiers once again climbed up the ladder. This time, the Liao army first sprinkled lime on the eyes and poured boiling water on the head, and then there was a rain of rolling wood and large rocks. What's even worse is that some small holes suddenly appeared in the belly of the city wall where the ladders were set up. The Liao army hid in the city and used forks to overturn the ladders of the Jin soldiers, or used spears to attack the Jin soldiers climbing the city. These small holes were not big, and the Jin soldiers If you want to guard against the stones on the top of the city, you can't guard against the spears coming out of the attack holes. There is no way.
