Under the military flag are a group of soldiers with tattered armor but still standing upright.
Zhaozhou is not Cangzhou, and Liyao Nayan is not Yeluji, so this place is surrounded like an iron barrel. Even the birds that have the ability and the right to fly freely in this sky have left here, perhaps because they are afraid
Those cold feathers and arrows may be because they can't stand the strong smell of blood. It's not that they abandoned their home, but that they couldn't find their home. The birds may not understand why the bird standing on the city wall
The crowd refuses to leave here?
It would be great if the bird could understand human language. In that case, those embarrassed-looking people standing on the city wall would tell it, why don't we leave? Because this is our home.
When Liu Ling led the Shura Battalion cavalry outside the Khitan siege company, the Shura Battalion cavalry had already chopped off hundreds of Khitan heads. The scouts and rangers on the periphery even escaped in front of the Shura Battalion cavalry.
They have no qualifications. If Liu Ling gives the order, the Shura camp cavalry will rush down the high slope without hesitation, cut open the Khitan company, and then meet with the robes in the city.
When the Khitan Wolf Cavalry began to form a team, Liu Ling still did not give the order to attack.
A team of no less than 20,000 people was assembled. Although they did not launch an offensive against the Shura Camp cavalry, it could be seen from the way they were prepared that this was a well-trained army. Shengtu Yehu urged his horse to Liu Ling's side,
Pointing at the dark cavalry below the high slope, he said, "Do you want to attack in?"
Liu Ling did not answer him, but tilted his head and said to Situ Zhengcheng: "Put up my flag, the higher the better."
"Your Majesty!"
Zhao Da said: "That's not right! If you raise the prince's banner now, the Khitans will launch a strong attack immediately. Zhu Sanqi's Chengde army has not caught up yet. If the Khitans go crazy, the situation will be difficult to control.
"
Liu Ling shook his head and said in a calm but firm tone: "Put up the flag, the brothers on the wall are watching!"
With a whoop, the huge flaming red war flag stood upright in the wind. General Situ Zhengcheng held the flagpole more than three meters high with one arm, shook off the big flag with Liu characters and waved it vigorously. He jumped on his horse and
On the high slope, shouting with all his strength in the direction of Zhaozhou City: "The great Han is mighty!"
After this shout, although the Han troops on the city wall could not hear his shout, they could see the fiery red battle flag fluttering in the wind on the high slope!
"The great man is mighty!"
The soldiers in tattered clothes on the city wall stood up straight, banged their shields with the horizontal knives that had cut holes in their hands, and shouted the mighty slogans of the Han Dynasty. Their faces were covered with blood and dust, but they could not be covered.
The expressions of determination. Their eyes were bloodshot, but they could not hide their bright eyes. Their armor was in tatters, but they were a powerful force with high morale! They were fearless because they had faith!
Liu Mao stood on the city wall and looked at the fluttering Liu-character flag with his clairvoyance. He couldn't help laughing and burst into tears. The tears streaked across his face, leaving two traces of earthworms crawling across his face.
The marks on his face washed away some dust. But he didn't look funny or ridiculous. Instead, he revealed an admirable perseverance in his wild laughter!
"Children! See that big flag!"
"Saw it!"
"Let me tell you what is written on that big flag! It's Liu!"
When Liu Mao shouted this word, the city wall suddenly became silent. After a while, a roar like a mountain and a tsunami sounded on the city wall, shaking the world.
"The King of Han is mighty!"
Liu Mao raised his right arm and shouted: "My sons of Han, do you see it? The King of Han is here!"
"The big man will win!"
Liu Ling stood on the high slope, watching and listening, and then pointed at Zhaozhou City and said: "Did you see it? The blood of the robes in the city has stained the city wall red, and their bones were trampled by the Khitan horses' hooves, but they
Don’t take a step back, they are waiting for you to come!”
He suddenly stretched out his arms and shouted: "Tell me! What do you need to do!"
For the first time, Six Thousand Shura made a heart-stopping cry on the battlefield: "Revenge!"
"Better than killing a wild fox!"
Liu Ling pointed at the 20,000 Khitan wolf cavalry waiting in formation below the high slope and said, "Go! The people who led you will smash those two disgusting-looking phalanxes for me!"
Shengtu Yehu's eyes suddenly lit up and he urged his horse out: "First Battalion, get out!"
Two thousand cavalry were separated from the six thousand Shura, and they walked slowly down the high slope behind Shengtu Yehu with neat steps. The two thousand heavy cavalry of the Shura battalion in black armor were like a sea of
Thick and suffocating dark clouds pressed down on the square formation of Khitan wolf cavalry. These two thousand Shura cavalry maintained a strict formation, and their movements were so uniform. It seemed that they were not two thousand people, but
It is a whole without any gaps or flaws.
When the first battalion of Shura heavy cavalry slowly descended the high slope, Liu Ling ordered the soldiers around him: "Tell Zhu Sanqi that after the fighting between the Shura battalion and the Khitans begins, immediately lead the army to attack the east gate!
At any cost, reinforcements must enter the city!"
The soldiers responded and flew out in the direction of the German army on their flank.
"Your Majesty? Why don't you just cut through the Khitan company and enter the city?"
Situ Zhengcheng asked.
Liu Ling said in a calm tone: "Li Yao knows that I am outside the city, and the pressure on Zhaozhou City will be much lighter. After all, in comparison, in their eyes, I am far more important than a city. As long as I don't enter the city
, Li Yao Nayan will divide his troops, so the soldiers in the city can breathe more."
"If I enter the city, Liyao Nayan will fight hard to attack the city even if he uses up all the 100,000 wolf cavalry under his command. And... I don't know how long the food and grass in the city can last. There are more than 20,000 German troops.
After defeating the enemy and entering Zhaozhou, some of the defensive problems will be solved. My role outside the city is far greater than that inside the city. In terms of city defense skills, I am no better than Liu Mao."
Looking at the small group of cavalry on the high slope, Liao General Li Yao Nayan curled up his lips.
"Want to tear apart my defenses?"
He smiled coldly and said: "It is said that the king of Han is like a god with his troops, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Order, no matter if there are enemy troops rushing into the formation from any direction trying to enter Zhaozhou, do not stop them, let them go in. Then divide your troops to block it."
Live at the gate of Zhaozhou City, let them in and they won’t be able to get out!”
He turned to his lieutenant Purnu and said: "Not counting the 20,000 cavalry, I will give you another 20,000. Don't worry about other things, just attack the Han cavalry on the high slope. How many people will die?
Don’t worry about it, there’s only one thing you have to remember, even if you can’t kill Liu Ling, the King of Han, you still have to cut down Liu Ling’s flag for me!”
"Sona!"
Liyao Nayan ordered: "Divide into 40,000 troops and seal the four gates of Zhaozhou after the Han army's reinforcements enter the city. No matter how fiercely the Han army in the city kills outside, no one is allowed to be released.
Horse! I want to see if I can defeat the famous Han King Liu Ling with 60,000 wolf cavalry against the thousands of Han cavalry. Purnu, you have to remember one thing, even if
All the cavalry given to you are dead, so don’t think about conserving your strength to attack Zhaozhou. You have only one mission, and that is to attack the Han cavalry head-on at all costs!"
Li Yao Nayan smiled and said: "Using the method of erecting a big flag to stimulate the morale of the defenders in the city seems to have a good effect. But... now that my identity has been revealed, I will still keep an eye on Zhaozhou.
? From today on, you all remember that the target is no longer Zhaozhou City. You all, show me clearly who is standing under the banner of the Han army!"
"It's Liu Ling, King of Han! Kill him, and the Central Plains will be at your fingertips!"
Purnu took the lead and said.
"No no no..."
Li Yao smiled and said: "Under that banner, there are high-ranking officials and generous salaries. It is the highest reward from His Majesty. It is the ultimate goal pursued by you and me as soldiers. To kill the emperor, there is nothing more tempting than this."
What about?"
Zhao Da looked at Liu Ling's handsome and clean profile and said with some distress: "My lord, it would be a pity to destroy Shura Camp like this."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "I built Shura Camp with my own hands, how could I be willing to destroy it?"
He looked at the Shura battalion cavalry who were about to come into contact with the Khitan wolf cavalry, causing a wave of bloodshed and said: "You don't think that the Shura battalion cavalry won't escape, do you?"
He smiled slyly: "Such a high-profile appearance is actually to escape in a more high-profile manner. As long as Zhu Sanqi's Chengde army enters Zhaozhou, today's battle will be won. As for whether I can enter Zhaozhou City, as for Li Yao
It doesn’t actually matter how many men and horses Yan uses to surround and kill me.”
"Your Majesty! Two troops of ten thousand people are outflanking us!"
"Your Majesty, there are also two ten thousand troops gathering over there!"
The lookouts continued to report on the Khitan people's mobilization.
Although Liu Ling had already made a battle plan, he was still a little shocked. He did not expect Li Yao Nayan to be so determined and mobilize an army of 60,000 to surround and kill him. Could it be that with only 40,000 people left to siege the city, he was not afraid of reinforcements?
Cooperate with the defenders inside and outside to cut off his retreat?
Thinking of this, Liu Ling was suddenly shocked!
"Let the First Shura Battalion withdraw immediately!"
Yun Danfeng was as gentle as Liu Ling, and she couldn't help but change her face.
"Your Majesty? What's wrong?"
Zhao Da asked.
Liu Ling said: "Order Zhu Sanqi's men not to enter the city for the time being, and to retreat back to the original route to meet me!"
He looked in the direction of Zhaozhou and frowned: "Li Yao's face must have more than 100,000 troops!"
At this time, Li Yao Nayan, who was riding on horseback, turned around and said to the soldiers: "Send the signal!"
As a special flame rose into the sky, the smile on Li Yao's face became thicker and thicker. He looked at the Han army coming from the east and looked at the one on the high slope.
The Han cavalry's eyes narrowed with joy. Looking at the enemies who had thrown themselves into the trap, he murmured to himself: "Invincible King of Han... I have been waiting for you for a long time."
As the fireworks rose into the sky, tens of thousands of Khitan wolf riders hidden in the dense forest swarmed towards Liu Ling's position from three directions. The 60,000 Khitan wolf riders who had previously made a full-strength attack stance on Liu Ling's Shura camp
The Khitan Wolf Cavalry suddenly separated out most of its cavalry and headed towards Zhu Sanqi's team to kill them.
Li Yao's face began to laugh, and the laughter became louder and louder: "King Han, since you want to use yourself to boost the morale of the defenders, then I will kill you to completely extinguish the morale of the Zhaozhou defenders.
Bar."
The number of the three Khitan wolf cavalry is at least 40,000. Coupled with the Khitan army encircling Liu Ling from the front, the Khitan army surrounding Liu Ling is still no less than 60,000! This is a big trap, and this trap is specially designed to
It was prepared by Liu Ling. If Liu Ling had not led troops to rescue Zhaozhou, Liyao Nayan's ambush army would never have been used. If it was just to capture Zhaozhou, why did he spend so long? Two
He conquered the city gate twice and was killed twice. In fact... Liyao Nayan didn't want to enter the city so early to enjoy the victory.
Yeluji dug a pit in Cangzhou to bury Liu Ling. Why didn't he think so and prepare in Zhaozhou? (To be continued)
