Chapter 0620: The Bloody Battle of Tongtai Pass

It's not hard to guess who the reinforcements are waiting for.

If Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was willing to give him more soldiers and horses, he would have brought them here a long time ago, and there was no need to wait here.

Therefore, there is only one reinforcement he can wait for, that is, the Yongtai army that avoided fighting in Zhuozhou and fled in all directions.

After Di Qing guessed the purpose of blurring himself, he decisively made the decision to divide the troops.

After hearing Di Qing's words, Peng Yue shouted in a deep voice: "What if the Liao soldiers have reinforcements, we are strong soldiers, and they are not afraid of more comes." It's just a meritorious service to us. ”

Di Qing shook his head and said, "I advise you not to think so, the Liao soldiers are attacking Tongtai Pass, and we are naturally not afraid." I'm afraid they will fight a war of attrition with us.

There is always a time when our arrows and logs run out.

We only have 10,000 men and horses.

There were more than 20,000 Liao soldiers outside the city.

I'm afraid there are still 30,000 or 40,000 people in the Yongtai army.

If the Liao soldiers fight with us, once our troops are too heavy, they will have a chance to break through Tongtai Pass.

Therefore, you must have an idea about the next war.

Protect your soldiers well, if you can, you won't be hurt, and if you can, you won't die. ”

Peng Yue frowned and said, "You can lead the iron cavalry to charge into battle." ”

Di Qing still shook his head, "It's not the time yet. ”

Peng Yue opened his mouth, but did not speak again.

Di Qing is the mastermind of the army, he gave the order, and Peng Yue can't question it.

A day flies by.

The tiger army in Tongtai Pass has just gained a firm foothold on both sides of the city.

In the south of Guancheng, there was a force of 40,000 soldiers and horses, driving a group of strong men, and pressed towards Tongtai Guanhei.

Peng Yue, who was guarding the city, saw this, and his eyes were stunned.

"Hurry up and ask the general to come over!"

Peng Yue stared at the soldiers and horses approaching outside the city, gritted his teeth and ordered his own soldiers.

The soldiers got Peng Yue's order, quickly rushed to the other side of the city, and invited Di Qing to come over.

After Di Qing arrived, he saw the scene outside the city, and his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, "Use the people as a shield to consume our arrows." ”

Peng Yue nodded heavily.

Di Qing took a deep breath, his cheeks were a little red, and he said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, the Yongtai Army Envoy is a Han man. ”

Peng Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Not bad......"

Di Qing said angrily: "Since you are Han, why would you do such a thing that is unconscionable?" Use the bones of my Han family sons to pave his career in Liao, how dare he? How could he?

He is not afraid of the shame of his ancestors under the Nine Springs, and he is not afraid of thunder and thunder in the sky? ”

Peng Yue said angrily: "This kind of animal, in order to please the Liao people, will care about the life or death of my Han family's son." ”

Di Qing clenched his fists hard and said: "After Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu ascended the throne, for fear of the hostility of the Han people in Liao, he did not dare to use Han Erlang as a shield, and also explicitly forbade the officials in the north of Liao to use Han Erlang as a shield.

The Liao people let go of the Han family in Liao, but they didn't expect that the Han family in Liao would die in their own hands. ”

Peng Yue said angrily: "If I bump into this guy, I will definitely kill him alive." ”

Di Qing had the same thoughts as him, but he didn't say it, but instructed Peng Yue: "You go to the north to guard, and the south is handed over to me." ”

Peng Yue said with some reluctance: "I want to split this guy alive." ”

Di Qing frowned and said, "Listen to orders!" ”

Peng Yue roared unwillingly, and went to the north of Guancheng with his head down.

The reason why Di Qing supported Peng Yue was that he was afraid that Peng Yue would be soft-hearted and unwilling to attack those people, and he would fall for the enemy's tricks.

After the enemy approached, Di Qing forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a cold face: "Shout at them and let them retreat quickly." If you dare to take a step closer to Tongtai Pass, you will be killed. ”

When the soldiers of the Tiger Army heard this, they shouted at the people under the city who were driven by the Yongtai Army.

The people heard the shouts of the Tiger Army, and there was some commotion, but they were quickly suppressed.

The people were driven and approached Tongtai Pass step by step.

Seeing this, Di Qing's brows furrowed, and he muttered in a low voice, "Don't blame me......"

After muttering, Di Qing ordered in a cold voice.

"Kill!"

It is one thing for Di Qing to pity the people, and it is another thing to guard Tongtai Pass.

If Tongtai Pass is broken, not only will they have to suffer heavy losses, but the momentum of the Great Song Dynasty's northward advance will also be restricted.

The soldiers of the Tiger Character Army were a little hesitant when they heard Di Qing's order.

Kill the enemy, they will never hesitate, whether the enemy is their own or an outsider, as long as the enemy has a sword in their hand, they will not hesitate to kill.

can kill a group of defenseless people, but they can't be ruthless.

Although they have been in the army for several years, they have never experienced such a thing as killing civilians.

Seeing this, Di Qing did not reprimand the soldiers of the Tiger Army, he stepped forward and snatched the bow and arrow from the hands of a soldier of the Tiger Army, bent the bow and arrows, and pointed an arrow at the people in the city.

An arrow was fired, and the man was killed instantly.

The tiger army at the head of the city was shocked.

The people under the city paused slightly.

Di Qing put down his bow and arrow, and said coldly: "This is an order!" ”

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Tiger Army no longer hesitated, grabbed their weapons one after another, and began to kill.

Arrows rained down.

The people under the city instantly lied.

The cries and wails, the shouts and curses, and the screams came and went.

The soldiers of the Tiger Army also seemed to be infected, and tears flowed down their faces, and some soldiers even cried.

Crying and killing people can be said to be the first time in their lives.

Di Qing silently put on the mask, so that no one could see that his eyes had become red.

After putting on the mask, Di Qing roared at the Yongtai army behind the people, "Chengyi, you take the name of righteousness, but you don't do benevolent and righteous things, and sacrifice your siblings as grass mustard, you are a beast!" ”

Chengyi is the life of the Yongtai Army.

Di Qing roared angrily, spreading throughout the battlefield.

Sitting on horseback Chengyi, hearing Di Qing's scolding, laughed loudly: "Di Qing, you are a hypocrite." You killed people, what does it have to do with me? If you really have mercy on the people, you should open the closed door and let the people in.

As long as you open the door, they will survive.

But you closed the door and ordered your men to shoot them.

You don't care about their lives at all, and you're embarrassed to denounce me? ”

What is heart-wrenching is that the people believed Chengyi's words and felt that Di Qing was a hypocrite, and they scolded Di Qing one after another when they saw death.

Di Qing's heart was like a knife, and his whole body trembled with anger.

But he still had his senses and was not discouraged.

Under the persecution of the Yongtai army, the people fell under the Tongtai Pass.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Cheng Yi ordered the soldiers and horses behind him and began to attack Tongtai Pass.

Cheng Yi's soldiers and horses launched an attack on Tongtai Pass, which was far more effective than the attack launched by the Liao soldiers.

The soldiers and horses under his command not only knew the way of the military formation, but also held a lot of ordnance that was only available to the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Relying on the military array and ordnance, the speed at which the Yongtai army advanced towards Tongtai Pass was far faster than that of the Liao soldiers.

There was no need for Di Qing to command, the Tiger Army, which had already been heartbroken, was a fierce attack on the Yongtai Army.

They bent their bows and arrows, pulled the cranes of the tigers, and the crossbows of the beds, and seemed to use all their strength.

They were eager to run down the city and plunge the arrows in their hands into the chests of the Yongtai army.

Just when the battle in the south of Tongtai Pass began, the Liao soldiers in the north of Tongtai Pass also launched an attack on Tongtai Pass.

The momentum on both sides is ferocious.

However, the Yongtai army south of Tongtai Pass marched more smoothly.

Because they consumed a lot of arrows from the tiger army through the people, when they attacked the city, there were many fewer arrows that fell on their heads.

The Tiger Army fought desperately and fought fiercely at Tongtai Pass.

The enemy's attack poured like a tide up the Tongtai Pass.

Di Qing's worst fearful scene still happened.

Relying on the advantage of a large number of troops, the enemy constantly launched an attack on Tongtai Pass, and constantly consumed the strength of the Tiger Army on Tongtai Pass.

Although the Tiger Army is protected by heavy armor, the enemy's trebuchets, bed crossbows, strong crossbows, etc., can also cause damage to them.

Some sharpshooters hiding in the army can kill the soldiers of the Tiger Army with one blow from a distance.

The soldiers of the Tiger Army naturally killed a lot of enemies.

But the enemy is several times more numerous than them.

Even if it's two for one, or three for one, in the end, the enemy wins.

What's more, the enemy is numerous and can be replaced in turns, while the Tiger Army can only fight the enemy all the time.

The fierce battle on the Tongtai Pass is a day.

The soldiers of the Tiger Army were tired and exhausted, and some of them could no longer lift the boulder and could not pull away their bows and arrows.

In the evening.

When the Yongtai Army attacked Tongtai Pass, it obviously felt that the resistance of the soldiers of the Tiger Army was much smaller.

The Yongtai Army made Chengyi realize that the opportunity had come, and he did not hesitate to send all the Yongtai troops to the battlefield.

The tired soldiers of the Tiger Army can't stop the surging Yongtai Army.

There was a gap in the city of Tongtai Pass.

The Yongtai army stormed for a day and finally killed the city.

Di Qing held a heavy gun in his hand, personally went down the field, and killed him towards the gap.

He relied on the sharpness of the heavy pistol and the cooperation of a group of soldiers who worked together to force the Yongtai army back in an attack.

After the Yongtai army was forced to retreat, it did not give up the attack.

The Tiger Army at the head of the city has already shown its exhaustion, and it is a rare opportunity for them.

They can tear the hole once when the copper platform is closed, and they can tear it open countless times.

The Yongtai army attacked the city again, tearing three openings in the city.

Di Qing led the soldiers of the Tiger Army, and desperately tore apart for half an hour before the Yongtai Army retreated.

After the Yongtai army was killed and retreated, Di Qing's subordinates appeared in front of Di Qing covered in blood.

"General, let the last general take people out to kill for a while! Otherwise, the brothers can't bear it! ”

The general is going to take people to rush and kill, and what he wants to bring is naturally a heavy armored horseman.

Only by riding out and killing with heavy armor can the enemy be forced back and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy.

Di Qing frowned and said, "The city gate has been blocked by a giant tree sent by me, and now you take people out to kill, and you have to move the giant wood at the city gate." As soon as the giant tree is gone, the city gate may be broken.

We can't make sure that we can crush the enemy with one blow, so we can't rush to attack.

Gotta wait! ”

The general gritted his teeth and said, "Wait? When? In one day, more than 1,000 of our brothers were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded. Now the brothers are exhausted, and if they wait any longer, the brothers will only suffer more casualties. ”

Di Qing also gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time!" ”

"When is the time?"

The ministry will follow-up.

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "Resist the enemy two more times." ”

However.

did not wait to resist the Yongtai army twice.

When the Yongtai army killed the city again, it tore six holes in the city.

There was almost no less than the number of soldiers of the Tiger Army in the city, and the Yongtai army poured into the city.

Tongtai Pass is already on the verge of being breached.

While killing the enemy, the general chased Di Qing and asked if he would lead the army to charge.

Di Qing fought bloodily, clenching his teeth.

Outside the city.

Cheng Yi watched more and more Yongtai troops rushing to the city, and grinned: "Tongtai Pass has been broken, just wait for me to go with me to see Your Majesty to receive the reward." ”

"Hahaha......"

Cheng Yi laughed heartily.

The laughter hasn't landed yet.

An explosion sounded behind him.

Cheng Yi stopped laughing in amazement, and before he could turn around, there was a continuous explosion behind him.

"Cao Wei has been killed!"

"Cao Wei led an army of 200,000 to kill!"

“……”

Someone in the Yongtai army shouted loudly in terror.

The Yongtai army was in chaos in an instant.

Cheng Yi looked back at Song Jun who appeared behind him, his eyes widened in horror, "How can it be so fast?" It was clear that it would take another day for them to take the entire territory of Zhuozhou. ”

However, no one answered his question.

The appearance of the Song army, a large army of 200,000, behind them, was enough to scare everyone in the Yongtai army.

Gunshots rang out outside the city.

Di Qing at the head of the city naturally heard it clearly.

At the moment when the gunshot rang out, Di Qing was shocked and shouted loudly: "The time has come!" Kill someone! ”

The generals who were not far from Di Qing heard Di Qing's words, and almost without any hesitation, they shook off the enemy who was fighting with him.
