Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth belongs to you
Chapter 599
The Khitans were defeated. They were completely defeated on the front line that stretched thousands of miles from Fuzhou to Youzhou. They were lying dead for thousands of miles and blood flowed into rivers. After the inexplicable deaths of Yelv Xiongji and Yelu Deguang, the army on the western front was completely defeated. The defeated troops retreated.
Zhi Datong defended it and is currently being besieged by the party's 400,000-strong army.
The originally relatively stable eastern front collapsed instantly after Yelu Chucai was seriously injured by an arrow.
Although Hua Ling's arrow did not kill Yelu Chucai, he jumped up to the Khitan commander's flag with Ge Qing, who was seriously injured and almost unconscious. Ge Qing tried his best to cut the flagpole in half, and with a squeak, the flag exploded.
It was not just the flagpole that was broken, but also the fighting spirit of the Khitan people.
After this battle, Yelu Chucai's army retreated to Youzhou, but was intercepted and killed by Yang Ye's army who besieged Youzhou halfway. The defeated army protected the seriously injured Yelu Chucai and retreated towards Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing. Liu Ling sent cavalry
The subsequent pursuit was bloody for hundreds of miles, and the Khitans lost consecutive battles, suffering heavy casualties.
Yelu Chucai was defeated, and the Han army besieged Youzhou. Relying on the solidity and tallness of the city, the Khitan defenders of Youzhou held on for several days, and the Han army could not invade.
On another three days, after digging out the blocked canal, the Han navy moved up the canal and opened the Youzhou Water Gate with artillery. A large number of elite naval forces entered Youzhou City from the water gate. The Khitan defenders mobilized heavy troops to counterattack in an attempt to recapture the city.
Shuimen was suppressed by the Han navy with artillery and heavy crossbows. The Han army rushed to the city wall and fought bloody battles for two days, finally controlling Youzhou Water Gate. Then the Han army followed the city wall towards the south gate of Youzhou. The Khitans and Han people
A desperate fight began on the city wall.
The Han army went in from the water gate and fought their way up the city wall along the horse path. At the beginning, many people fell to the ground and died almost every step forward. A river of blood flowed down from the city wall along the horse path, gradually flowing down the river.
It was dyed the same color as the Styx. The Khitan people were at a high place and had an advantage at first. Their precise shooting skills killed a large number of Han soldiers. After the Han army occupied a place, the Han army's heavy armor came up.
The Khitan people's advantages gradually disappeared.
The heavily armored Kuang Tu of the Han army used Mo Dao to kill them all the way up the horse road. The arrows nailed on their bodies made a clanging sound and flashed many sparks, but they could not stop Kuang Tu from moving forward. The Khitan people would defend the city.
Fuzi Crossbow moved around to block the horse path, and the Han army's archers gathered their feather arrows and shot them as if they were free. No matter how strong the heavy armor was, it could not stop Fuzi Crossbow from firing a three-meter-long crossbow arrow. The heavy crossbow could easily tear apart
They slaughtered the soldiers' armor and tore off half of their bodies. Fortunately, the Khitan people didn't have many crossbows. Under the crazy suppression of the Han army's archers, the Khitan archers huddled under the battlements and couldn't even raise their heads.
cannot.
Situ Zhengcheng led 500 heavy-armored troops to massacre the city wall first. The Liao army generals guarding the city mobilized a large number of soldiers to block it. The Han army outside the city used artillery, ballistae, and trebuchets to bombard them indiscriminately.
They began to attack the city with battering rams and ladders. The Liao army defending the city could not take care of both ends. They defended themselves against the Han army that kept climbing up from the outside, but they could not prevent the heavy armor that rushed up the city wall from the horse road.
The generals of the Liao army guarding the city organized hundreds of Khitan warriors with large sums of money as inducements to launch a counterattack against Kuangtu, trying to push the Han army off the city wall. Unfortunately, their equipment was too different from the heavily armored Kuangtu.
Kuang Tu soldiers wearing more than 40 kilograms of heavy armor, coupled with the Mo Dao in their hands that can cut people in half, are no less powerful than a humanoid tank. Hundreds of dead Khitan soldiers rushed up, but were severely beaten.
Jia Kuangtu squeezed and kept retreating.
Situ Zhengcheng slashed a Khitan warrior into two pieces from his forehead. In the split body, bloody internal organs suddenly piled on the ground. Some places were still connected to half of the body, while others were completely separated from the body.
They separated. The heavy and domineering Mo Dao turned like a windmill and opened a path of blood.
After losing more than sixty heavy armors in the massacre, Situ Zhengcheng finally stood firm on an area on the city wall. The heavy armors who completed the task no longer broke forward, but consolidated the place they had just occupied. Behind them,
A large number of lightly armored Han troops swarmed up. The city wall of Youzhou was very wide, enough for fifteen people to walk side by side. However, compared with the troops invested by both sides, the city wall was still too narrow.
Soldiers were constantly being squeezed off the city walls, and the murderers were often their robes rather than their enemies.
Xu Xuan led the Han army to kill through the opening opened by Kuang Tu, slashing with hundreds of horizontal knives, fighting for control of the city wall inch by inch.
The water gate was too small to allow large ships of the Han army to enter, and the speed at which small ships could be used to add troops to the city was really limited, so the initial battle was beyond imagination.
The Khitans wanted to defend Youzhou, so they sealed all the city gates in Youzhou with sandbags. When the sandbags were not enough, they used grain bags filled with rice. At this time, they did not think there was anything wrong with wasting food.
A shameful thing. If Youzhou is captured by the Han, no matter how much food is stored in the city, it will only be an advantage for the enemy.
Xu Xuan spins off the head of a Khitan warrior with one knife, and removes the shoulder of another enemy with another knife. He bumps forward and knocks the seriously injured enemy, and then kicks a Khitan warrior off the city wall.
He and his soldiers formed a small arrow formation and charged forward like sharp knives. The Khitan people were stunned by these killings. The Han people were forced to retreat continuously, and someone would fall at every step.
Xu Xuan glanced at the crossbow cart that was still firing heavy crossbows at the outside of the city more than a dozen steps away, and pointed his sword forward. The two dozen soldiers behind him guarded him and moved towards the crossbow cart.
Killed him. While they were fighting, Xu Xuan suddenly felt the pressure on his flank lighten. He turned around and saw General Helian Tiemu rushing up with his men.
“Don’t just grab the credit!”
Xu Xuan didn't seem to be grateful to Helian Tiemu for helping him out, but Helian Tiemu could clearly hear the concern in his words.
"You'd better be careful with yourself! The Khitan's scimitar is not made of mud!"
Xu Xuan curled his lips and continued to charge forward as if he was angry. Helian Tiemu laughed and led his men to attack on Xu Xuan's flank to help Xu Xuan share the pressure. The Khitan's crossbow was their best defense.
A powerful weapon, there is a bed crossbow every hundred steps on the Youzhou city wall. However, most of these bed crossbows were snatched from the hands of the Han people. The Khitan people are not good at defense, so they don’t care much about these weapons. Wait for them to be used.
When I arrived, I discovered that many bed crossbows were no longer usable. After being exposed to wind and rain for a long time, many bed crossbows were worn out. The nooses broke as soon as you pulled them, the roulette wheels fell off as soon as they spun, and not even half of them were usable.
Less than.
Xu Xuan slashed the Khitan man operating the crossbow until his body was separated, and then kicked down a Khitan warrior who was screaming and rushing towards him.
Cutting off the noose of the bed crossbow with one knife, Xu Xuan heard Helian Tiemu's shout: "The next one belongs to me!"
Xu Xuan raised his head and looked for Helian Tiemu's shadow, pulled his neck and shouted: "You have a beautiful idea! It all belongs to me!"
He waved his hand to greet his soldiers: "Come on, don't let Helian Tiemu take away all the credit!"
"Kill!"
The Han people became more and more courageous as they fought, and the oppression they had endured for hundreds of thousands of years completely broke out at this moment. Every time the sword was struck, they felt a sense of relief in their hearts.
"Get out of the way!"
Someone from the rear of the Han army shouted: "The Shenji Battalion is coming, let them get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way, the Shenji Battalion is coming!"
Hundreds of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, equipped with black light armor, squeezed through the passage that the Han army left, then lit the gunpowder bag in their hands and threw it forward with force. The small gunpowder bag only weighed two or three kilograms.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion crowded forward in batches and kept throwing gunpowder packets into the Khitan team. Twenty or thirty meters away, the Khitan team was immediately bombarded to the point of crying. Dozens of small gunpowder packets were thrown at them.
In the past, the Khitan people's defense completely collapsed.
Helian Tiemu laughed loudly: "Kill, take another hundred steps forward and follow me to take down the tower!"
The morale of the Han army was completely aroused by the roaring explosion. The Khitan people who were crowded together were killed and injured hundreds of people. Their defense was immediately vacated, with corpses and wounded soldiers lying on the ground in a mess.
Like wheat blown down by a whirlwind, it is extremely desolate.
Xu Xuan and Helian Tiemu divided their soldiers into two teams, one on the left and the other on the right, towards the city tower at the south gate of Youzhou. The Khitan guard was commanding from the tower. As long as the tower was taken, the Khitan would
People's morale will be completely destroyed!
boom!
A ball of fire burst out from the city gate tower, and many Khitan soldiers were blown off the city tower. The power of the air wave and the gunpowder explosion knocked many Khitan soldiers out and fell from the city gate tower.
"His grandma's!"
Xu Xuan looked down the city and saw five artillery firing in front of a square black square formation.
"The Shenji Camp takes the credit from me again!"
What made Xu Xuan happy was that the Shenji Battalion that had just arrived cleared the Khitan archers on the city gate with two more cannons, and then began to bombard the south gate of Youzhou. The city gate of Youzhou had been attacked by the Khitan from the inside.
It can be blocked, but it can block people, but it cannot block the sharp artillery of the Shenji Battalion.
The sandbags and rice bags blocking the city gate may not be blown open by dozens of cannon fire!
The Liao army guard in Youzhou was called Xiao Mingyuan. He was a relative of Xiao Suxun and the younger brother of Empress Xiao of the Liao Dynasty.
Xiao Mingyuan emerged from the rubble and pushed away the corpse of the soldier who was lying on him to block the danger for him. His body and face were covered with dust, and there were bloody wounds on his forehead from the gravel.
One eye was also hit by a stone, and tears flowed out like a stream. He stood up with difficulty and looked around, but found no living person except himself.
He found his scimitar, squatted down and tried to pick it up.
Suddenly there was a shadow covering his head. Xiao Mingyuan rubbed his eyes and subconsciously looked up. There was sand in one eye and he could not open the other eye. He kept rubbing it with his hands in depression.
"You coming or me?"
He heard someone speaking in his ear very humbly and politely.
"You come, you come."
"It's up to you to do it."
"Why are you so polite? It's different who comes."
"How about we come together."
Xiao Mingyuan was very scared. He rubbed his eyes desperately to see who was talking clearly. His other hand was groping randomly on the ground, trying to find his scimitar.
puff
There was a feeling of coolness on the heart, a feeling of clarity on the neck, the fear dissipated, and the head rolled away far away.
"The head is yours."
Xu Xuan extended his hand politely, and Helian Tiemu said with a smile: "What you cut off belongs to you..." (To be continued)
