Wan Jue, the general who defended Cangzhou City, who had been silent for a long time in the hall, asked anxiously: "Uh... Marshal Zhao, if the Liao army attacks the city..." Cangzhou was not peaceful to begin with, but now this handsome marshal from the capital is just...
He was about to explode the tiger's anus, which really made General Wan feel uneasy.
Zhao Changyuan saw the worry on his face and comforted him with a smile: "Most of the Liao army's troops are concentrated in Zhuzhou, and they won't be able to reach here for a while."
He still couldn't feel relieved: "But Tuohai from Yingzhou and Yeluqi from Mozhou... always stretch out their claws to scratch us..."
Zhao Changyuan chuckled lightly, with a look of determination on his fair face: "They know that I have heavy troops stationed here, and they will never be so foolish as to come here and hit rocks with eggs." The Cangzhou generals seemed to be harassed by the Liao army. When they
When the army entered the city gate, the whole city's soldiers and civilians lined the streets to greet them.
"Hey, hey, that's good." General Wan responded helplessly. He is the marshal, the general of Zuowei, one of the four people with heavy troops in the whole court. As a general guarding the city, besides nodding his head, what else can he say?
?
"Let's go." Zhao Xiaobai grabbed the ashes from the bottom of the pot on the table and said hello to his fair face.
About an hour later, a village on the outskirts of Mozhou City was raided by the Song Army.
When Zuo Nan ran to inform Yeluqi, the latter was still holding his concubine in his arms: "General! That man named Xiao is here to harass our border people again!"
Yeluqi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into rage in the gauze tent: "Is this the end? This time I will personally deal with him and bring back his head!"
After saying that, he didn't even bother to wash up. He just rubbed the shit in his eyes despite his bad breath, then dressed and tied up the guy and led the troops out of the camp.
After running more than ten miles outside the city, I saw flashes of fire in front of me, bursts of shouts, and the horseshoes of the Song Army trampling the snow in the village into a mess...
Yeluqi gritted her teeth angrily, pointed at a big man wearing a general's armor and holding several big roosters in his hand, and asked Zuo Nan: "Is he that dark little brat?"
Zuo Nan had only met Xiao Juan once, and his only impression of him was the word "black". Coupled with the fact that he had the same armor and the same age, he should be almost 10, so he said decisively: "Yes."
,it's him!"
Yeluqi stared at "Xiao Juan" and shouted loudly: "Xiao Jun, don't run away! Grandpa Yeluqi is here, why don't you get off your horse and die!" As soon as he finished speaking, the black boy was stunned for a moment and turned around.
She turned her head and looked at him with an innocent face, and then...with lightning speed, she bent down and pulled out a little lamb from the arms of a villager, put it on the horse, blew a whistle, and took it with her.
The Song army ran wildly in the opposite direction.
Yeluqi was so angry that she almost fell off the horse: "Damn, you're a little bastard, a little bastard, a little bandit... He dares to steal things in front of grandpa, chase me!"
After chasing for twenty miles, Zuo Nan suddenly felt that something was wrong. He caught up with Yeluqi, who was furious and asked: "General! Look at them, they just run all the way without even looking at their faces. Is there any deception?"
?”
As soon as he heard this, Yeluqi's heart beat up, and he immediately reined in his horse and stopped: "Wait a minute..." Under the neighing of the war horse, he fell into deep thought for a moment, and finally, the fire in his eyes started again: "Huh, this is going to Wa.
In the direction of Qiaoguan, this guy surnamed Xiao is running there, looking for death! Let’s chase them and block their way back. Then we and Han Zhang from Waqiaoguan will double-team them from the front and back to see if he’s still alive?”
After saying that, he called on the troops behind him to pursue him at full speed.
It was already dawn, and the two sides pursued them to the vicinity of Waqiao Pass. The Song army in front suddenly turned around and faced Yeluqi. Just as the latter was about to move forward with his gun, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Oh no! General, there are people behind us.
!" In a panic, Yeluqi turned around and looked in the direction he was going. He didn't know when the heavy armored infantry of the Song Dynasty were already covered in the snow all over the sky. At this moment, they were lining up and silently marching towards them.
Step by step* closer.
Yeluqi knew he had been fooled, so he could only tell Zuo Nan next to him: "Find a way to get to Waqiao Pass quickly and notify Han Zhang to get out of the city for rescue! Hurry!" Zuo Nan escaped from the flank. Yeluqi cheered up and tightened his grip.
With a spear, he shouted to the panicked cavalry soldiers around him: "Cavalry, assault!" After saying that, he rode his horse and rushed towards the troops of "Black Boy Xiao Juan" in front of him.
The Khitans conquered the world on horseback, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined. "Assault" is also a highly effective method of cavalry tactics. When Tong Zhao was fighting in the field, it could not only greatly damage the opponent's military strength, but also break through the enemy's formation.
Get behind the enemy.
But the cavalry of the Song Dynasty was also a carefully selected elite unit. Its attack power was not as good as the heavy armored infantry, and its mobility was not as good as ordinary cavalry, but its defensive power was extremely high. The warriors' armor and shields were covered with iron spikes and hooks.
The enemy rushed into the camp, and his body was instantly stabbed to a bloody pulp, making it difficult to move. The war horse was also fully armed, and a flying kick could knock several holes into the opponent's war horse. It was completely invisible at night, and was similar to the ordinary equipment of ordinary troops.
In broad daylight, you can tell the difference between Qian Kun and Zhao. To put it simply, it is the "assault" tactics that can defeat ordinary cavalry. It is known as the "Iron Wall" Legion in the army.
So this time, Yeluqi's troops rolled up the snowflakes flying in the sky and tried their best to "attack". They did not escape and successfully entered Waqiao Pass. Instead, they were forcibly ejected by this "iron wall" army.
Go back. The roar of the iron armor and bronze weapons almost burst the eardrums of everyone present.
He thought about "attacking" again, but there was no possibility at all. The army was as miserable as if it had been washed with blood. Yeluqi looked at the handsome face in front of him that was originally so dark that his facial features could not be seen, but now it was washed white by the rain and snow.
, staring with blood-red eyes, asked coldly: "I'm afraid you are not Xiao Juan?" The other party smiled, his eyes were clear and innocent: "General Yelu, I'm Zhao Changyuan, you are polite here."
But these Cao Rui don't need to know, and Cao Rui's soldiers don't need to know. At this moment, their heads are full of hope and life.
"Our relatives and friends have never given up on us, so we must never give up on ourselves! Today we are going to fight out and reunite with our brothers outside! We are going back to the Central Plains to see our parents, relatives, and our wives.
Hold our children! Soldiers, do you want to go home?" Cao Rui's impassioned declaration of war struck every word in everyone's ears.
"Think!" The soldiers' roars immediately resounded through the sky.
"Do you dare to fight to the death with the enemies outside the city?" "Dare!" "Okay! Let's leave Youzhou now, break through Waqiao Pass, and go home together!" "Go home together! Go home together! Go home together!"
No matter how good Youzhou is, it is not their home. These tens of thousands of soldiers may never want to set foot on this land again in their lives.
Pan, Yang, Xiao, and He have also put on their armor again and joined Cao Rui's army to fight alongside them.
The moment the city gate was opened, Liao general Bao Sui'an's troops rushed towards him. The shouts of killing and the sound of footsteps shook the earth. The moment the two armies collided, snowflakes accompanied by the thick smell of blood hit everyone's face.
Pan Jingyuan's mind went blank, and he felt his blood surge, so he cut off his first sword on the battlefield...
How could a Bao Sui'an stand up to the beatings of Cao Rui, Yang Jinzhong, Yang Jinyi, Xiao Jun and He Yong? In less than three rounds, he was torn to pieces by several people. "What's going on? I want to capture you alive, you guys
Are you going to steal one by one? If you tear them apart like this, is it a sin?" Yang Jinyi angrily chased several of his companions who had gone away and cursed.
At the same time, Han Zhang at Waqiao Pass received a distress message from Zuo Nan and led his troops out of the pass to rescue Yeluqi. It only took Cao Rui's army half an hour to successfully break through the empty Waqiao Pass.
After a brief replenishment and rest in the pass, the whole army went out of the pass and planned to join forces with Zhao Changyuan's army.
The situation outside the pass is a bit complicated. There are only less than 40,000 people, but four armies are involved in the battle. The cavalry troops of Zhao Changyuan and Yeluqi are sandwiched in the middle, blocking Han Zhang and the heavy-armored soldier Ge Xiaoqing at Waqiao Pass.
Since all this had already been arranged in Zhao Changyuan's plan, he and Ge Xiaoqingsi did not hesitate, and with clear goals, they stuck to the enemy one-on-one and shot Liju to death. Ge Xiaoqing stared at Yeluqi's cavalry, while Zhao Changyuan fought with Han Zhang in a bloody battle.
Under Waqiaoguan.
Han Zhang's spearmen have high attack power but low defense. Zhao Changyuan's "Iron Wall" army is slow and has little lethality. Both Zhao Changyuan and Han Zhang know that letting these groups of people fight each other is just to delay time.
, a waste of energy. The best solution is for the generals to set up camps and duel with gongs.
Although Han Zhang is not old, he is in his thirties, but he is also a veteran of the Liao Kingdom. He was riding on horseback and galloping on the battlefield at the age of fifteen. In terms of kung fu and fighting methods, he is no less inferior to Zhao Changyuan.
But he has a very fatal flaw, that is, he is arrogant and underestimates the enemy. The old saying of strategists that a proud soldier will be defeated is definitely an experience based on blood and tears.
He saw that Zhao Changyuan was young, with thin skin and tender flesh, and dull eyes. This "glazed eyes" was Han Zhang's subjective assumption. In fact, he was just pretending to be stupid and cute.
Sure enough, amidst the noisy agitation of the soldiers on both sides, Han Zhang Ouba's spear was quickly taken into the hands of Zhao Dabai Rabbit. In desperation, he kicked the knife away from Zhao Dabai Rabbit's hand.
Fortunately, he had already heard that Zhao Changyuan only used a long sword with one hand, unlike himself who had used all kinds of weapons in Class 18, so he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the white rabbit trying to get off his horse to pick up the sword, he also waited for an opportunity to jump forward and jump forward
After grabbing the knife, in a flash, the white rabbit jumped back behind him and stabbed him in the chest with a carbine.
White Rabbit just thinks that his long sword is the most beautiful, so he can use it the most...
As soon as the general dies, the army will naturally disperse. Zhao Changyuan is not the kind of tyrannical and cruel person who is ready to commit massacres at every turn. The Art of War says: "Victory in a hundred battles is not a good thing. A soldier who subjugates the enemy without fighting is a good thing."
Good people are good people." He knew that he did not have the ability to "subdue an enemy's troops without fighting" like the great military strategist Sun Wu, but he still hoped to minimize unnecessary casualties. (To be continued)
