Chapter 117: Ice City Stops the Enemy

The army of the Liao State pressed the border, and Yelu Xiuge had already led the army to Shimen, the last pass of the Great Song Dynasty. Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao led the emperor's civil and military ministers from Shangjing to Nanjing to personally supervise the war. There was an excited killing aura in the big tent of the imperial court, and only Princess Pingnan Xiao Ran was absent-minded.

Ling Kun, the general of the Great Song Dynasty, led 300,000 elite forbidden troops, with the emperor's holy decree, Shang Fang's sword, and the tiger talisman seal letter from Kaifeng.

Of course, the Holy Decree, Shang Fang's Sword, Tiger Talisman, and the 300,000 army are all true, only the Great General is fake. However, not many people know about this, only a few soldiers in front of the palace know about it.

When the army of the Song Dynasty entered Yanmen Pass, the Shimen Pass at the forefront had already fallen. Yelu Hugo stood on the high city wall and looked at the Dianjiangguan in the distance, tomorrow, he will launch an attack on the Dianjiangguan, and in three days he will bring the army to Yanmen Pass.

At this time, a general came to report that the 300,000 elite forbidden troops of the Song Dynasty had arrived at Yanmen Pass.

"Who will the Lord be?" Jeruhugo asked in a deep voice.

"It's Ling Kun, the new commander of the palace and the general of the Zhu Kingdom."

"Ling Kun?" Yelu Hugo asked, "Isn't it Li Jilong?" ”

"No, Li Jilong has been deprived of military power by the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Poof." Jeruhuko couldn't help but laugh, and then it turned into laughter. Everyone under his command knows that General Yelu Hugo is the god of war of the Liao State, and he has a brilliant record in his life, and he defeated Zhao Guangyi's personal expedition twice, and beat the famous generals Pan Mei and Cao Bin of the Great Song Dynasty to a mess.

In this life, his only defeat was when he led his troops south in the seventh year of Tonghe, he lost to Li Jilong twice in a row, and he was almost hacked to death.

Therefore, on this expedition, Yelu Huge was not afraid of the million-strong army of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was not afraid of the Great Song Dynasty's abundant grain, and the only thing he was worried about was the general Li Jilong. I didn't expect the Song Dynasty to give up such a good general, isn't this God helping me Daliao.

Brother Yelu Xiu couldn't hold back a smile and asked, "Let's talk about this Ling Kun, what is the origin, what virtue can replace Li Jilong?" ”

The general in charge of intelligence work replied: "General, Ling Kun is a young man of about 20 years old, he was admitted to the martial arts champion last year, and was appointed as the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, and this year the little emperor succeeded to the throne, dismissed Li Jilong, and appointed Ling Kun as the palace marshal." There are rumors in the outside world that Li Jilong and his sister Empress Li attempted to seize power when Zhao Guangyi died, but they were crushed by the little emperor. Now the little emperor doesn't dare to trust the previous general, so he can only use this little general. ”

"Huh." Brother Yelu Xiu sighed: "The brothers of the Zhao family have been strong all their lives, but they didn't expect it to be such a result in the end. Pass the order down, attack the point general early tomorrow morning, and meet this young general. ”

Zhao Mingyue said with a silver helmet and silver armor, carrying a Shangfang sword at his waist, with a heroic posture, and at this moment he was standing on the head of the Dianjiang Pass and staring at Shimen Pass. Beside her stood the general of the palace and Yang Yanzhao, the guard of Yanmen, and Di Bocheng, the guard of the gate.

Because the two guards have been at the border and have never seen Ling Kun, Zhao Mingyue did not say her true identity, and continued to live her general addiction.

"General, the morale of the Liao army is booming, the battle is fierce, Shimen Pass was broken before it could hold on for a day, and the life and death of the defender Wang Jizhong are unknown." The point guard will report behind her back.

"The stone gate has been broken, so let's not talk about it, now let's discuss how to guard this point under our feet." Zhao Mingyue waved her hand.

Yang Yanzhao said: "The Liao army is victorious in morale, our army is victorious in the terrain, there are generals in time to reinforce, and it should not be a problem to guard the pass, but after a long time, I am afraid that there will be changes, after all, we are facing the Liao God of War." ”

Zhao Mingyue nodded silently, and said for a while: "When marching and fighting, morale is the most important, and we have to want to beat this morale back." ”

"What are the general's plans?" Di Bocheng asked, although he was respectful, he looked down on this stinky hairy boy.

Zhao Mingyue gave a strange order to the generals, and the generals took the order and left.

Yang Yanzhao and Di Bocheng looked at each other speechlessly, shook their heads and sighed, the emperor sent such a little child to the family, this is to give the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao State.

Early the next morning, the sun was shining and the sky was clear, which was really an excellent time to conquer the city.

Yelu Hugo led the army out of Shimen Pass and went straight to Dianjiang Pass. However, when I came to the city, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Dian Jiangguan turned into a crystal clear ice city overnight, from the gate to the city wall are covered with thick ice, and the square outside the city has also become a sparkling ice rink.

Yelu Hugo frowned, he had never seen such a war in his life. The kid on the other side, is he still fighting a war or playing tricks?

"This kid treats war as a family, doesn't he?" Yelu, the king of the Southern Courtyard, sneered.

"Then let's play with this kid. Give me orders to besiege the city. Jeruhhuge commanded.

At the sound of an order, the Liao army rushed forward bravely.

However, they soon discovered that the problem was not so simple, and the soldiers slipped on the smooth ice, and the more brave the soldiers, the worse they fell, and before they could reach the city walls, they had already fallen several times.

Zhao Mingyue stood at the head of the city and looked at the Liao army staggering below, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, but immediately realized that this was a woman's action, and hurriedly took her hand down and forced herself to laugh.

Since last night, she has ordered all the soldiers to be dispatched and poured water on the city walls with buckets, washbasins, and even pots and pans.

The winter in the north was so cold to the bone marrow that the water that was spilled immediately froze firmly on the city walls. After the ice wall was built, the soldiers were asked to raise the water on the ground outside the city and freeze it into a large ice field.

The Liao army finally came to the city trembling with their crotch in their arms, and prepared to attack the city with a bad breath, but a new problem came again.

The soldiers erected the ladder and swarmed up, but the ground was too slippery, and the ladder had no focus point to stand at all, and finally before they could climb halfway, they even rolled down the ice with ladders.

The other part of the soldiers lifted the big log and hit the city gate, but unfortunately the city gate was frozen so strong that they couldn't even find the exact location, so guess it was ramming. As a result, the gates of the city did not break open, and the soldiers all slipped to the ground, crushed by the large logs and screamed.

The Song army stood on the head of the city for a long time, and he didn't even have to move his fingers, which made the Liao army embarrassed. It seems that this new young general really has two brushes.

Yelu Hugo stood on his horse, his face became more and more pale, and he scolded fiercely: "These shameless Song people know how to play conspiracy. ”

Yelu slanted and said: "General, this is just a small skill of carving insects, it is not a problem, but we have not prepared in advance, it is better to withdraw the troops for the time being, and prepare for the attack in the afternoon." ”

Yelu Hugo said: "That's right, Mingjin will collect his troops and come back to slaughter the city in the afternoon." ”

The gong sounded and remembered, and after fluttering for a long time, the Liao army finally breathed a sigh of relief and carried the equipment back.
