Verse 643 goes from ecstasy to breakdown in an instant

The main ships of the Pirate Empire are all power ships. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoFrom Dengzhou to Cangzhou in the north, it is also very close to the sea route.

Zhao Yue led the marines in a hurry and soon came to Cangzhou.

He divided his army of nearly 30,000 troops into three routes and landed on the shore, and 5,000 people along the way were responsible for sweeping the Liaokou in Cangzhou counties in the southern part of Yanshan County. Nanpi and other southern counties are not as rich as Qingchi and Yanshan, and they are deep in Cangzhou, so there will not be too many Liao people who go deep into this area to loot. He took 5,000 people with him to save his hometown. The rest belonged to another road, which was responsible for sweeping the Qingchi Salt Mountain, which the Liao people focused on looting.

The members of the Marine Corps are all selected and trained elites in the army, all of whom have the three abilities of water and land horse warfare, but they did not bring war horses to the Song Kingdom, including Zhao Yue, who was all infantry at this time.

There is an easy way to walk.

Zhao Yue led his troops to land on the seashore that was closest to the fastest to reach Zhaozhuang, and passed directly through the primeval forest where there was no road and almost no one was infested.

The terrible beasts of the woods are a mortal threat to others, but not to the armies. Beasts are stupid but not stupid, they are usually afraid of people, except for a few people who have tasted human flesh and like to eat people or have brain problems who dare to attack the army but have become army meat, other beasts only smell a large group of people passing by, they will be shocked and avoid early, not a big threat.

The 5,000-strong army followed Zhao Yue through the forest and reached a desolate hill a few miles north of Zhuang.

After reconnaissance, a thousand-strong team of the Liao army was ambushed here.

The Liao general who led the team is called Tuo Yeyuan, who is nearly tall and fierce, brave and cruel without lack of cunning, and is good at using a big iron rod, which can make a five-stone strong bow, is a famous general of the Liao State, and is also the general of the guard army of the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, because he has a long donkey face and green eyes, and loves to torture the dead to slowly torture the hearts and livers of the dead cannibals, nicknamed the cannibal demon king Tuoye Donkey.

This guy was ordered to come to Zhaozhuang with the army to staring at the destruction of the Cangzhao family, and was specially arranged by Han Chang to intercept and kill those who fled from Zhaozhuang in the north of Zhuang, so as to prevent the Cangzhao family from escaping when they saw the opportunity.

The east and west rivers of Zhaozhuang flow from the south to the sea in the shape of a trumpet, and the terrain between the two rivers becomes wider the further north it goes.

Tuanye specially chose this hill not too far from Zhuang to camp, where the terrain is not too wide to facilitate monitoring and control, and also convenient for ambush. There is no shortage of grass to feed the horses.

In order to prevent the Cangzhao family from breaking through on horseback and then the ambush could not catch up, he had 400 elite cavalry under his command, and divided the troops into 100 teams of 100 people, spread out and guarded the section.

It was well planned and fully furnished.

Tuoye donkey consciously blocked the escape route of the Cangzhao family foolproof, before all the people who fled from Zhaozhuang, got some food, made a small fortune, and also interrogated and learned some information about Zhaozhuang, learned that Zhaozhuang only has less than 1,000 households and some young and strong people urgently transferred from abroad, the inside information of the weak guard, and also knew that the owner of the village returned from outside in a hurry and was sick in bed and could not see people, most of the descendants of Cangzhao lived in the Zhaozhuang compound, but there was no adult male protagonist who could command the battle, only the key information of the owner's mother and old lady in charge.

The affairs of the owner and the young children and grandchildren in Zhaozhuang are naturally the things that Ning Lao Taijun and Li Zhu and Liu Wen intend to let the villagers know.

The 1,000 Northern Army, which had been transferred to strengthen the guards, entered the village in the name of the owner of the village.

At that time, there were several van carriages accompanying them, and they were actually crossbow guns from the peninsula, and how could the villagers who did not know the inside story know whether the owners and their children and grandchildren were in the cars.

The war is approaching. The Zhao family's compound was heavily guarded, and the villagers were no longer allowed to visit casually. The situation of the owner's family of Zhao Zhuang is unknown to outsiders, and the villagers naturally hear what to do.

Lao Taijun has long been willing to take advantage of the disaster test to eliminate some unworthy people in the village, and he will not let the villagers who may defect really grasp the reality of Zhao Zhuang, and also to hook the Liao army.

Han Chang suffered serious losses in his troops, and he was determined to fight to the end when he saw that Zhao Zhuang was powerful, and he was confident that he would win the harassment war, and a large part of the reason was also because of the intelligence sent by Tuoye Donkey.

Tuoye Donkey firmly monitored Zhao Zhuang's retreat, but he didn't know that the pirates were also from the Zhao family, so he kept an eye on the south but didn't expect the pirates to sneak from behind.

Zhao Yue also divided his troops into ten places, defeated the outnumbered with the crowd, quietly touched the area of the hill, shot and killed by a surprise attack, and the elite soldiers of the 1,000 Liao army died in a hurry.

Tuoye donkey is tall and strong, brave, fierce and cunning, rich combat experience, with an iron rod strong bow and fast horse, in the beast Jin Army cavalry formation can also be fierce and fierce to kill, even if the foot battle is difficult for anyone to stop him, encounter a surprise attack, unexpected, he reacted quickly, jumped up and immediately turned into a combat state, first held a big iron rod to observe the enemy's situation, calmly shouted to the subordinates around him not to panic, and then took a strong bow to want to counterattack Liwei, but was taken care of, in the face of long-range strong crossbow intensive strikes can only be helpless.

Several crossbow arrows were shot from different directions two hundred steps away, and he was hit by several arrows in the blink of an eye, and the arrows penetrated through the fine iron armor and penetrated deep into the body, and the inexhaustible strength of his body leaked like a flood that opened the floodgates, his arm was weak, and the strong bow and giant arrows that he had just raised fell to the ground, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and he looked at the blue sky and white clouds before he died, and muttered: "Despicable pirates will only raid and plot." I'm a hero, and I'm useless. ”

He died unwillingly, but he finally got it right. Under the historical trend of the inevitable demise of the Liao State, no matter how capable he is, it is useless to fight on the battlefield.

In less than twenty minutes, the thousand-person roadblock was eliminated, and Zhao Zhuang's current situation was also discovered by Zhao Diaolong and Zhao Xiuhu, two scud generals.

A group of 2,000 people was led by two young generals who were familiar with the local mountains and forests and wilderness, and crossed the Xihe ditch, passed through the wilderness and forests on the west side of the river and went around to the bridges of the Xihe River to ambush, responsible for blocking and cutting off the retreat of the Liao army, and dispatched some crossbow arrows to supplement the long-range blocking force, and hurriedly left first.

The remaining 3,000 people were led by Zhao Yue to quickly recover the crossbow arrows and clean up the battlefield, collect the scimitars, silver and leather armor of the Liao army and do not take them away, they all piled them aside, hurriedly threw the corpses in the nearby ravines, and let the insects gnaw and the beasts to eat and rot and die naturally, estimating the progress of the team of the two young generals of the dragon and tiger, and then continued to rush to Zhao Zhuang to directly attack the enemy there.

The Liao army's harassment and exhaustion of the enemy has achieved remarkable results.

Zhao Zhuang's troops were weak and there were no war horses, so he could not go out of the city and fight with the Liao army, which was strong, and if he could not drive away the enemy, he would have no effective way to deal with this kind of harassment, so he could only passively hold on.

The two thousand main force soldiers could not go down to the city at all, they couldn't eat and sleep, they stayed up for a few days and nights, fell into extreme drowsiness and weakness, they could fall asleep standing like a horse and blink their eyes, it was difficult to wake up when they fell asleep, and they were also in a trance when they woke up, tired and weak, and it was difficult to support the dangerous and fierce battle.

After several days and nights of non-stop harassment and attack, the Liao army successfully dragged down the Zhao Zhuang army, and it also lost a lot of troops in long-range attacks and siege trials, leaving about 7,000. However, they noticed that the long-range attack on the city was powerless, and they turned to a strong attack again, and at this time they were attacking from all sides, trying to take advantage of the weakness of the Zhao defenders to break through Zhaozhuang in one fell swoop.

This time, the Liao army is bound to win.

Han Chang and the deputy general Deer Buhua all went out to command on the spot.

5,000 elite cavalry as infantry also participated in the siege of Zhaozhuang, preparing to enter the city when the city was broken and annihilating the resistance of Zhaozhuang in one fell swoop.

The Liao camp four or five miles south of Zhuangnan was almost empty at this time, and only a few men remained to guard it.

Tens of thousands of horses were placed in the south of the camp to eat and drink freely, because the nearby pasture grass was eaten up, so it was far away from the camp, and hundreds of craftsmen and men with the army helped the army graze.

There were originally a few scattered small villages between the two rivers to the southernmost reservoir more than ten miles south of Zhaozhuang, but now they are long gone, people have moved overseas, and the scattered land has been annexed by Zhaozhuang, and the crops have been abandoned and changed to pastures, and the broken houses in the village are still there, but several simple pontoon bridges erected on the West River to the outside world have been demolished.

Nowadays, people between the two rivers want to go east and west, and they can only take a few bridges in Zhaozhuang. Zhao Zhuang did this to facilitate the control of this area, and now it is also convenient for the Liao army to release horses.

Anyway, there are two rivers in the way, and the horses can't run away. The Liao army did not need to send many people to watch the horses. It was up to the craftsmen to keep an eye on the horses and get back to the camp before dark.

The Liao army ignored the Cangzhou army and concentrated its forces to fight Zhaozhuang, causing an unprecedented crisis to the weakened Zhaozhuang, and Zhaozhuang was crumbling. The Liao army was ecstatic and its morale was high, but they didn't know that they had the convenience of the two rivers, and they also left huge loopholes, forming an Achilles heel, and their lives were on the line.

Zhao Yue led his troops to Zhuangbei, and saw from a distance that there were not one or two thousand Liao troops who were screaming excitedly and shouting to storm the northern city.

The counterattack on the city was weak, but the defense line had not yet been breached, and the defenders and the Zhao Zhuang men were staggering, but they were all gritting their teeth and screaming to fight back.

Zhao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that his milk brother Xiao Liu Tong was wielding a double knife and desperately slashing and blocking the Liao army attacking the city, his armor was covered in blood, and his face was also covered with new bloodstains, he could hardly see the appearance, and he didn't see the naughty appearance of the past, staring at the two blood-red eyes and only caring about the fight, occasionally faintly heard a few hoarse commands, obviously young at this critical juncture, he also took on the responsibility of the town guard general; On the other side, Xiao Liu Tong's eldest brother Liu Wen has long since disappeared from the calm and steady Sven Xiang who used to sit in the rear, dressed in armor and full of fierce spirit, and is also busy desperately wielding a knife to kill the enemy and is responsible for coordinating and commanding the surrounding defenders. Zhao Yue felt a pain in his heart, and a terrifying light shot out of his eyes.

"What a talented Han Chang Han Yanshou, since he is a hardcore traitor of a loyal foreign race, he will not be able to prolong his life. Willing to die for Emperor Liao? Fulfill you, and today is your death. ”

Zhao Yue thought hatefully, and ordered down: "No one will be left." There is no mercy for killing. ”

The three thousand marines did not have as perverted eyesight as Zhao Yue, but they could feel the tragedy and danger of the battle, and they all gritted their teeth and glared at Zhao Yue and pounced on him.

The Liao army besieging the city was in a frenzy at this time.

Zhao Zhuang couldn't stand it, he was about to break, and he was finally going to kill it.......

With a crazy sense of revenge, a desire to kill and a desire to make a fortune, they all rejuvenated the brave and fearless demeanor of the past, and threw themselves into the battle, completely unaware of the dragon that pounced behind them.

was attacking happily, suddenly dense crossbow arrows shot from behind two or three hundred steps away, the Liao army on the cloud ladder screamed and fell down like dumplings, the cloud ladder was almost empty, and the Liao army under the city lay down at the same time. A wave of 3,000 crossbow arrows fired, and in a blink of an eye, almost all the Liao troops in Beicheng were killed. Those who survived also fell in the monastic.

The Marines rushed to the vicinity of the North City like a raging tide, but they did not stop at the North City, like a huge wave divided by the castle and automatically divided their troops to the east and west.

Zhao Yue breathed a sigh of relief at the city, and was excitedly shouting at his smiling brother: "Are you okay?" ”

Xiao Liu Tong shouted happily that it was okay, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that he only made a faint sound, and he wanted to wave the double knife to show that he was strong, but his arm was numb and he felt out of strength, so he had to shake his head vigorously to reassure the fourth brother. He's really fine, Cangzhao's high-tech armor effectively prevented him from being traumatized in the vicious battle, but he was too tired and sleepy.

Zhao Yue looked at Liu Wen with worried eyes.

Liu Wen waved his hand to signal that it was okay without waiting for a question, pointed to the Liao army under the city that was not dead, and pointed to himself, indicating that he would take someone to clean up the enemy here, and let Zhao Yue just go.

The Liao army in the eastern and western cities also attacked happily like the northern city, and was also caught off guard by the marines in the frantic onslaught, and most of the casualties were imposed.

The survivor turned his head in horror and saw the outfit of the new opponent who had been killed quickly, and the experienced one exclaimed in horror: "Pirate? ”

"Pirates?"

Dongcheng, the deputy commander in charge of the command, is not a general of the sixteen states of Yanyun, has been resisting the Jin army in the north outside the Great Wall, and does not know the pirates, but after hearing the strength and arrogance of the pirates for a long time, he suddenly heard the Liao army exclaiming, and couldn't help but scream in surprise and then shouted in surprise: "What are the pirates doing to save Zhao Zhuang?" ”

He didn't expect that the pirates were the army of the Cangzhao family, but he thought that the pirates were treacherous, and he wanted to kill them at this time to compete for the profits of the fisherman, and he couldn't help but turn purple with anger.

But before he could react in time, a dense and sharp crossbow bolt followed closely and shot again.

This time, there were not many soldiers around him who could block the crossbow arrows and die on his behalf.

Del Buhua had a shield in his hand to prevent cold arrows in the city, and hastily raised his shield and brandished a scimitar, but he was still paralyzed by an arrow like other Liao troops and died of hatred in an instant.

Han Chang in Nancheng was constantly shouting trumpeters, drummers, and messengers urging the Liao army to strengthen the offensive.

He had already seen the destruction of Zhao Zhuang in the near future, and he would win today, and he vaguely seemed to hear cheers from the two cities in the east and west, and he didn't know what was going on on both sides, and he didn't care.

Suddenly, a lot of strangely armored people rushed out from the east and west, Han Chang turned his head to check in surprise, and before he could take a closer look, the dense crossbow arrows had already flown far away.

Han Chang was taken aback, and hurriedly rode his horse and danced the steel fork to resist and dodge.

He has high martial arts, quick reaction, and many personal soldiers around him surrounded him and resisted this wave of blows, but the other soldiers of the Liao army did not have his ability and treatment, and the siege was busy attacking the city, and the attention of the cavalry waiting for the relay siege was also on the crumbling city, and they were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

The sudden arrival of the enemy pounced on it and advanced rapidly, the powerful crossbow in his hand was raised, and the whistling crossbow arrows flew all over the sky.

The Liao army fell into a rout in an instant from a fanatical attack, and was powerless to resist under the continuous approaching pursuit of waves of sharp shots, and the ghosts cried wolves and fled in all directions, but they kept falling.
