59. Chapter 59 The Liao Kingdom withdraws its troops!
Chapter 59
Just as Su Yin had imagined, the general's death really angered the enemy. Before noon that day, thousands of troops came out of their cocoons and rushed towards the city gate!
The south city gate is broken!
Inside the city, an extended tunnel had been built with huge rocks and iron blocks connecting the city gate. The terrain changed from rough to narrow, causing the Liao army to hesitate for a moment.
Only a few guard soldiers ran away into the city without touching any mechanism along the way. Seeing this, the Liao army's cavalry roared into the city!
As the cavalry entered the tunnel, the ground suddenly sank, the soil became soft, the horses neighed, and the soldiers fell into the ground. There was chaos and screams.
Seeing this, Zhao Long, the commander-in-chief of the Liao army who was supervising the battle from the rear, immediately shouted, "Charge!"
One word expresses cruelty and ruthlessness. The cavalry sank into the ground and continuously filled up the depressions. The cavalry at the rear stepped on the living people in front, whipped their horses, and rushed out of the tunnel with a murderous intent.
The tunnel narrowed all the way, and finally there was only room for two people riding side by side!
The soldiers of the Liao army used their long knives to beat the rock walls on both sides, but found that they were extremely strong and should not be destroyed.
"This is called one man blocking the barrier and ten thousand men unable to open it." Su Yin rolled up her sleeves and stood at the end of the tunnel holding a big knife.
But she didn't move.
Because at the seal at the end of the tunnel, several large knives had been fixed with their tips facing inward. The Liao army's cavalry rushed all the way and hit the tips of the knives before they could brake in time. The people behind them were turned upside down like tarot cards.
Seeing that it was almost time, Han Bilie took his brothers and stood at the end of the tunnel with knives. "Kill!" he shouted, and blood spattered everywhere.
Outside the city gate, the commander-in-chief of the Liao army, Zhao Long, was already livid. Hearing the screams and wails that sounded from the tunnels in the city, he grabbed hold of his heart.
It turns out that the excavation work in the city started last night, which was to dig holes to loosen the ground and use huge rocks to build the tunnel into the city.
"The war was fought with this time difference. Last night the Liao army suffered heavy casualties and reorganized, which gave us the opportunity to prepare. If they had attacked the city directly last night, we might have been defeated." Su Yin stood at the end of the tunnel and explained stinkingly.
But she was right. From a modern strategic perspective, the war was fought with a time difference. Unfortunately, the other side underestimated the enemy and did not expect that these bandits in the city could be moved out of the city in one night.
It's just that the Liao army's defeat now is like paying tuition with two defeats. But they can afford to lose, but Su Yin can't afford to lose.
At this moment, the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops suddenly sounded outside the distant city. Not only General Zhao before the battle was stunned, but also Su Yin and his party inside the city were also stunned.
"The Liao army has withdrawn!" The soldiers on the city wall cheered and shouted loudly!
"The young master is a god! The Liao army retreated after being defeated!"
"We won this battle!"
While everyone was jumping for joy, Su Yin frowned, a little confused.
…
The Liao army did withdraw, and it completely withdrew.
Because the Emperor of Liao was critically ill, urgent news came from thousands of miles away, and Yu Wensheng was summoned to return to his country. However, something unexpected happened that exceeded everyone's expectations.
This is what Yuan Yi told Su Yin. He said that he encountered a surprise attack by the Liao army on the road. Just after the battle, the leader of the Liao army suddenly ordered a retreat. He thought it was a trick of the Liao army, but he did not send troops to pursue him. Later, he got the news that the Liao army
Withdrawing the troops at full speed, the spies reported back and learned that the king of Liao was critically ill.
At this moment, Su Yin was sitting in the carriage going back to Qingbei City. Just like when she came, she and Wang Fu were sitting in the carriage, while Zhao Pisheng and Zhang Laishun were driving outside.
