Chapter 578 Returning to the Liao Land and Resurrection
Jinzhou City is located at the junction of Tokyo Road and Zhongjing Road in the Liao Dynasty. The Wuzhou Xiangding (organized as strong men of the Han nationality, Bohai people, etc. from the various states and counties under the rule of Wujing Road in the Liao Dynasty) guarding the city gate are checking in and out of the city.
The villagers and common people all looked wary, and even ordinary people noticed the solemn atmosphere more and more.
Since Gao Yongchang rebelled in Liaoyang Prefecture and proclaimed himself emperor, Jinzhou City has been occupied twice by rebels who took the opportunity to cause rebellion. It was only recaptured by the Liao conquering army led by Yelu Chun a few days ago. What's more,
This place is located at a strategic location connecting the Zhongjing Road and the Tokyo Road. Therefore, the Liao State Military Commander ordered to strengthen the city's defense, and the security of Jinzhou City became increasingly tight.
It was dusk. Among the villagers in Wuzhou, there was a military academy who narrowed his eyes slightly and just looked back and forth at the people who were being interrogated. Suddenly he heard another whistle coming from a distance. The military academy was busy following
When I went to the city gate, I saw a group of cavalry running from the north side of the city gate.
Although the colors of the handsome horses under the cavalry's crotches are different, their furs all reflect a shiny light under the setting sun. Those horses are all good horses, and the cavalry sitting on the horses are all wearing
Wearing leather robes with left pleats and iron armor, the military academy and the villagers from Wuzhou saw that the group of people were all palace troops dispatched by the capital to guard the cities in the various states of Zhongjing Road. They immediately leaned over and nodded, with very respectful expressions.
Seeing that the general who led the Biao Palace tent army was leading the way, riding a war horse, he had already rushed to the group of Wuzhou countrymen who were checking at the city gate. It was obvious that his riding skills were also very good. Wait.
The Khitan general rode his horse around the military academy and asked, "Did the people who came in and out of Jinzhou City find anything suspicious?"
The military academy bowed his hands and saluted, and replied: "I know that the people who come in and out of the city these days are all villagers living around Jinzhou City, and I have not seen any suspicious people coming or going."
The Khitan general nodded when he heard the words, and ordered: "During this period, please pay attention to the soldiers under your command, check the passers-by, and no one is allowed to enter the city without checking! The rebels who are causing trouble in Liaodong are still determined.
, maybe he will come to invade Jinzhou, don’t let Xizuo sneak into the city, if he really encounters someone suspicious of arresting me, anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"
The military academy and the villagers from Wuzhou who were guarding the city gate responded quickly, and at this moment, they heard the crisp sound of horse hoofbeats. When the Khitan general put his hand on the awning and looked to the southeast, he saw
Five people came riding horses, and after a while, they arrived at the gate of Jinzhou City.
The Khitan general saw that two of the five men were very handsome, the other one was also more regular in appearance, and the other man had red hair and a yellow beard. It was very strange at first glance, but what caught the Khitan general's attention the most was them.
The leader among the five was a powerful and masculine man. Judging from his body shape, he was also a martial arts practitioner who had been practicing martial arts all year round.
"Who are you guys? Why don't you get off your horse quickly and accept the interrogation!"
Look at the old leather clothes on these five people, and look at the expressions on their brows, it seems that they have experienced a lot of hardships, and four of these five people have weapons on their waists, so they don't look like ordinary refugees.
So the Khitan general yelled and asked, while ordering more than a dozen palace army officers to surround them and intercept the five people.
However, there was no look of panic on the faces of the five people. The leading man rode forward on his horse, cupped his hands towards the Khitan general, and said with a smile, "May I ask what I call this Xiangwen?"
The Khitan general was stunned at first, and then he said angrily: This guy is rude! I know that Wei Kang is Oruduo (Khitan language, meaning palace, which is also called the palace guard cavalry of the Emperor of Liao). Oruduo Army) was born in a Khitan family, and the generals from other provinces, such as Zhang Wen, were very polite when they saw me. These men were already acting suspiciously, but they dared to be so presumptuous to me!
After Jie'er Weikang thought in his mind, he immediately took off the hammer he was good at using from the victory hook on the saddle of the tall horse. Jie'er Weikang pointed the dark hammer at the man again and shouted loudly He scolded: "You unruly man are so courageous! Why don't you get off your horse and tell the truth about the origins of these scoundrels like you! But if you hide anything, I will smash your head with a hammer!" "
The man frowned slightly, stretched out his hand again, pushed aside the hammer that was about to hit the tip of his nose, and said displeasedly: "If you have anything to say, just ask me. You are so pretentious, just Don’t you think it’s a bit overbearing?”
Jie'er Weikang made the top of this long-handled single hammer almost equal to the size of an ordinary human head, and it was made of solid iron and was very heavy. However, the man seemed to only push it lightly, but Jie'er Weikang suddenly felt that there was something there. The big man hugged the hammer head and pulled hard, almost knocking him off his horse!
Jie'er Weikang was horrified. He hurriedly sat down and said angrily: "It's against you! Guys, let me take down all these thieves. Anyone who resists at all will be killed on the spot!"
A group of Khitan cavalrymen just listened to Jie'er Weikang's scolding. They all held their sabers and cavalry bows in their hands. The troops of the five states' villagers also had guns in their hands and pressed towards the five men step by step! Jiaoer Weikang swung his sledgehammer and hit the leading man among the five, trying to knock him off his horse and torture him after he was captured alive.
When the man saw the powerful hammer hitting his waist, he snorted coldly and suddenly lowered his body. The sweeping sledgehammer was thrown away, and the man first hid in the stirrup and then lowered his body. As soon as he flipped over, he immediately put his feet on the ground and suddenly exerted force. His body leaped into the air like a roc, and shot away at the target with a healthy bite!
Jie'er Weikang felt his eyes blurred, and he subconsciously swung the sledgehammer to attack the man in mid-air. It was too late to say that, but soon enough, he saw the man's right arm reaching out and gently pressing Jie'er Weikang. The horse's head was under Kang's crotch, and then he used one palm to make another leap. Before Yao'er Weikang could swing the sledgehammer with all his strength, he landed on Yao'er Weikang with a "Kite Turn" Behind him, riding on a war horse with him!
It is said that Jie'er is healthy in terms of physical strength, and his martial arts is not ordinary, but how could he have expected that this man's body movements were so fast, and his short-distance fighting skills were so perfect! So he was caught off guard. Before Jie'er Weikang could react, the man's left arm stretched out his eagle claws and clasped Jie'er Weikang's throat. With his right hand, he also pulled out the steel knife from his waist and pressed it against the same person as him. The waist and eyes of this Khitan general riding a horse.
"Who dares to act rashly? Ask the people in Jinzhou City who can speak to me to come to see me! It's bad enough that you, the Liao Dynasty, spread false news about my death, but now you want to touch my brow!"
The man roared like spring thunder, startling the Khitan cavalry and the villagers of Wuzhou to stand on the spot in fear. Seeing that the man's martial arts was so superb, he could so easily restrain the many troops currently stationed in Jinzhou City.
Among the generals, Jie'er Weikang, who claimed to be the most capable, did not dare to make any move.
After realizing it in hindsight, cold sweat broke out on Jie'er Weikang's forehead. He also realized that even if he took strict precautions, he would probably not be able to defeat this man. Jie'er Weikang gritted his teeth again and hissed: "
You dare to hold an officer hostage, don't you know that you have committed a capital crime? Who are you? You dare to invade Jinzhou with just a few people!"
"Whether it's a capital crime or not, the official laws of the Liao Kingdom have nothing to do with me, an official of the Song Kingdom... What's more, I had a nice talk with you, but you were rude first, but it wasn't you.
Humiliating yourself?"
The man grinned again and said leisurely: "But don't worry, Xiang Wen. After all, we, the Song Dynasty, have a diplomatic treaty with your country, and I will not destroy your life. I still have to bother sending someone to report it to the court.
.... Just say that Xiao Tang, the Song envoy who visited your country in the past, is still alive and well."
Note: The Oruduo Army is similar to the hereditary military household that guards the royal family of the Liao Kingdom. Each of its subordinates can also command troops and horses, so it can also be dispatched to other states in wartime, especially in the middle and late Liao Dynasty, because the Liao Kingdom has emperors and queens.
After his death, his palace guard cavalry still retained its organizational structure. As a rule, the newly ascended emperor had to re-establish his own palace guard cavalry. As the number of personnel continued to increase, the palace guard cavalry also increased its responsibilities in defending strategic locations.
