2-in-1 Grand Chapter. On the last day of the month, let's see if there are any free monthly passes, don't waste them. ）

Han Desui did not completely disbelieve his son's warning, he knew that although Han Zongchang was not particularly talented in leading the army, he would not be able to reach such a point and be wiped out by the opponent's army with a thousand soldiers and horses. It is more likely that the other party is indeed strong, and the sudden attack of the trick caught Zong Chang off guard.

Han Zongchang said that the other party had firearms, and Han Desui also heard about it. Regarding the usurpation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Han Desui had already understood it clearly through his detailed work in the Great Zhou. That night, the roar of firearms on the long street in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty naturally could not hide the ears of the meticulous workers, nor could it hide their visit afterwards. The rumor that Yang Jun's 2,000 cavalry had been killed by firearms on the streets of Xingguo Temple had long been reported to the Great Liao Imperial Court.

However, in response to the rumors of the so-called firearms, the attitude of Daliao is actually a little disdainful. It's not that they haven't seen firearms, but they have little effect, and they don't seem to be as powerful as they are rumored. Everyone finally came to the conclusion that there might indeed be firearms, but they were more afraid that Yang Jun made excuses for failure, otherwise it would be difficult to hide his incompetence. The role played by firearms is probably one in ten.

Han Desui also sees it this way, and the Liao State has always scoffed at the use of firearms. Da Zhou once had firearms, and he had seen their so-called firearms in the friction of the border towns, but the power was simply ridiculous. A rocket is not even as powerful as the arrow shot by man, and the distance is far away, in a sentence of Da Zhou, that is, 'the silver-like pewter gun head is useless.' ’。 Therefore, Han Desui did not take the matter of firearms that Han Zongchang said to heart, but he was more worried about the information that Han Zongchang said that the other party had a repeater. The manufacture of the repeater has always been a secret of the Great Zhou, and the only one who can equip the Great Zhou army with the crossbow is the forbidden army of the Great Zhou. The fact that these enemies who have infiltrated the city are armed with repeaters means that they have plenty of pigs. Moreover, in the crossbow . Among the bows, the repeater is an extremely powerful weapon, there is no doubt about it. Even if the soldiers and horses of Daliao are all good at archery, and all of them are talents who can wear Yang in a hundred steps, but when they shoot against the crossbow, they will definitely suffer. This is the information that needs to be taken seriously.

However, since the opponent has a sharp weapon such as a repeating crossbow in his hand, if you want to clear them, you can't fall into the trap of the opponent. You can't give your opponent a chance to shoot a repeater. Therefore, he decided to lead 6,000 soldiers and horses, all cavalry, to purge it. The mobility of the cavalry allows your troops and horses to quickly approach the opponent and use the advantage of their strength to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Even if the price is paid, as long as they can fight in close quarters, the opponents of these more than 1,000 people will definitely be eliminated.

Of course, Han Desui didn't want to send more troops and horses to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and suppression, which would be much easier. But the problem is that the Great Zhou rebels are attacking the city, and the head of the city must ensure the superiority of the number of troops. The opponent has 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city, and the head of the city must have at least 30,000 soldiers and horses to ensure that the city is defended. If you draw too many soldiers and horses, you will not be taking care of one or the other. There are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there are 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed at each of the other three city gates, and more than 2,000 soldiers and horses are left in the city to guard the key yamen and the important treasury, so in fact, there are only more than 40,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city in the southern city. Han Zongchang's 5,000 men had already given their lives in vain, and he could only lead another 5,000 or 6,000 people at most to clean up the mess, and the defenders at the head of the city actually only had 30,000 people, which was equal to the number of soldiers and horses besieging the city. In this case, it is no longer possible to send more troops and horses to clear the city of enemies, and it is impossible to do things that do not care about one or the other. After all, the more than 1,000 enemies in the city are a minority, and although they must be eliminated, they cannot be breached because of small losses.

Han Desui did not rush to drive the 6,000 cavalry to the middle street. From his son's mouth, he also realized that the other party was deliberately setting up an ambush and waiting for him to drill into the pocket. The enemy is dark and I am clear, and when I am ambushed by the other party, there is no good result. So Han De divided the 6,000 cavalry into several groups of soldiers and horses, and at the same time sent men to search for the enemy's location, his idea was that as long as the opponent's position was discovered, he would outflank the enemy with several cavalry troops. It's best to block them at an intersection so that you can wipe them out with several attacks.

The news came quickly, and what made Han De furious was that the 1,000 enemy troops actually returned to the intersection where the Dawangfu was located in Zhongjie, and openly besieged the Dawangfu, neither attacking nor leaving, as if they were waiting for him to lead the army forward. Han De then sensed the other party's contempt and arrogance from their behavior. They still want to repeat the same trick, which is completely looking at themselves as idiots, and they don't take themselves seriously at all.

In addition to being angry, Han Desui also sneered and thought: These guys are looking for death by themselves, and they actually stopped at the crossroads, isn't this the place where they want them to stay the most, and their death time has come.

Han De immediately ordered the cavalry to be divided into four teams, detour in four directions, and launch a simultaneous charge from the positions of the four main streets in the southeast, north, and west. Even if the other party has an ambush, it is only one direction, and other soldiers and horses can take the opportunity to rush over and complete the encirclement. I have to say that Han Desui's plan is very perfect, maybe a certain group of cavalry will suffer heavy losses from an ambush, but other cavalry can take advantage of the situation to rush and kill, and the opponent will be defeated by the enemy on three sides.

The four cavalry were quickly in place, and Han De gave the order to charge. Fireworks burst into the air, and four cavalry simultaneously charged along the long street. Han Desui himself was in the east direction, leading 3,000 cavalry, and the remaining three cavalry were each 1,000 people, of course, because he was the commander, and there should be more soldiers and horses around him to avoid accidents. The cavalry charge led by Han Desui did not encounter any ambushes or accidents, and they rushed to the east side of the crossroads. At the same time, cavalry teams from the north and south also rushed out of the street. Three armies converge at the crossroads. However, to the surprise of Han Desui and the others, the crossroads in front of them were empty, and there was no shadow of any enemy soldiers.

"What's going on? Is the information wrong? Han Desui frowned and shouted.

"King Han, there can be no mistake, they are here, the black pressure is overwhelming, and the last general will see it with his own eyes." A lieutenant in charge of reconnaissance shouted.

Han De then stared at the long street of the black hole on the west side of the front and shouted in a deep voice:

"Why haven't the West Street cavalry arrived?"

Only then did everyone remember that the cavalry at the street crossing to the west of the crossroads had not arrived.

"My lord, it seems that I heard the roar of firearms on West Street, as well as the sound of fighting. We were charging, and the sound of horses' hooves was too noisy to be heard. But the roar of firearms shouldn't be wrong. The leading cavalry leader on the south side reported busily.

"I heard it too, and it seems that there is indeed a roaring sound in Shicai, which should be a firearm. Presumably there was a fight on West Street. Another general was also busy.

Han De was stunned for a moment, and scolded angrily: "It's really hateful that these thieves dare to take the initiative to attack. Sons, take advantage of the time when they are fighting, and copy their back road. Kill! ”

The Liao cavalry was ordered to immediately charge towards the west side of the street. The streets on the west side of the street were empty at first, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. But when the cavalry rushed to the middle, the sight in front of them suddenly shocked them. Countless corpses fell in the dimly lit streets, strewn and strewn with flesh and blood. Those were the corpses of the Great Liao cavalry, some of them had crossbow arrows pierced on their bodies, some seemed to have been chopped to death by huge blades, and some seemed to have been killed by some terrifying weapon, their bodies were full of bloody holes, and the flesh and blood were rolled up, and they couldn't bear to look at them directly.

The cavalry was terrified, and on the long street that was sixty or seventy paces long, there were as many as eight or nine hundred corpses of men and horses who fell to the ground, which was already almost the entire number of soldiers and horses outflanked from West Street. Look at the location of the fight, it is not far from the entrance of West Street. That is to say, when the Liao cavalry on the west side launched a charge, the other party countercharged from the crossroads, killing almost all of the 1,000 cavalry on the street in a short period of time. What kind of terrifying combat power is that, it makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.

Han Desui saw the situation in front of him, and his heart also tightened. The combat power of the other party is beyond their imagination. And the resourcefulness of the other party is obviously higher. They seemed to know their intentions, the idea that they wanted to be surrounded on all sides and trap them at the crossroads. Therefore, they turned against the guest and rushed to kill the cavalry on the west side first, but they were successful. From this point of view, their strategy of dividing their troops and encircling them has given them an opportunity. These enemies were so cunning, which really made Han Desui not expect.

Han De regretted and blamed himself, and decided to adjust his strategy immediately. Since the other party broke through West Street, he must have rushed out and turned into other streets. The plan has failed. But this does not mean that the purge of them has failed. They retreated to the western city, and it was just what they wanted. The road to the west of the city was narrow, and only the main street led to the west gate, and now they were pressed to the west of the city with superior cavalry. You can directly force the opponent to retreat to the left side of the city wall, and you can complete the real encirclement. The other party would never dare to provoke his brigade of cavalry, and the top priority was not to give them a chance to leave West Street, and to find them quickly.

"Give me a charge, they're in front. Sons, after purging these thieves, this king will be greatly rewarded. Behead the enemy and reward ten taels of silver. Chop three, promote the team, cut ten heads, and then be promoted to captain. Never break your word. Han Desui shouted loudly.

The cavalry roared in unison, gearing up. Of course, there are also people who muttered in their hearts. Previously, Han Zongchang's 5,000 people were annihilated by this group of enemies, and now they saw the corpses of the cavalry on the ground around them, and they understood that they were afraid that they would not have this life to take this reward, so it was better to be careful and save their lives.

In any case, whether there is a bounty or not, the military order is issued, and the cavalry must also rush forward. The cavalry in the front line began to charge forward. But they had only rushed a distance of less than a hundred paces, and they immediately reined in horror. Because the street in front of me shines brightly in an instant. Hundreds of torches were lit in an instant, and several campfires were lit on both sides of the street. Hundreds of paces away, a group of horsemen with torches rode through the streets, holding torches in one hand and long knives in the other, standing still like statues.

"Yes...... Are those people? They actually ...... Didn't run away? The Liao cavalry thought in horror.

Han De came from the rear and saw the scene in front of him, and his heart was both shocked and angry. There are all kinds of signs that the other party's group of enemies is really bold and does not take themselves in the slightest. Is their posture going to confront them head-on? Riding with a thousand against five? Crazy? There must be a fraud!

Han De then concluded that the purpose of their posture was to lure their soldiers and horses to attack, and there must be their crossbowmen ambushed on the houses on both sides, and they still wanted to use the method of dealing with Zong Chang to deal with themselves, which was simply wishful thinking.

"Send people to search the houses on both sides to prevent ambushes." Han De then ordered.

Two squads of dozens of cavalrymen burrowed into the houses on both sides and began to search forward. At this time, three war horses were lined up in the opposing formation. In the middle, a five-flowered horse sits a handsome young general. He was dressed in black armor, a dark red cloak, and a long knife at his waist, but he was also majestic.

"The leader of the army in front is the general of the Liao State? Please come forward and speak. The young general shouted loudly.

Han Desui's face was cold, and the general on the side scolded: "Shouldn't these thieves still call for battle?" Adults don't have to deal with them. ”

Han Desui sneered: "What do you know? This is the rule of their Great Zhou people. Before the two armies fought, it was always necessary to talk about it. It just so happened that the old man was quite interested in this group of people, and it would be okay to meet them. It doesn't take much time to get left and right. ”

Han De then rode out on horseback, and more than a dozen generals and guards hurriedly patted their horses to keep up with the protection. The two sides gathered together and stood a hundred steps away.

"Old man Han Desui, who are you waiting for? Register your name. The old man's subordinates do not kill the nameless. Han De then stroked his beard and shouted.

"It turns out that you are Han Desui, the privy envoy of the Southern Privy Council of the Great Liao Kingdom, and the king of the Southern Courtyard. I have admired the name for a long time, like thunder. Immediately, the young general gave up his hand again, and there was sincere admiration in his words.

Han Desui didn't blink his eyelids, this kind of compliment was no surprise to him, as the power and status of the Great Liao Kingdom were top-notch, he had long been immune to the compliment of the little people. Those sycophants every day

He had to hear hundreds of sentences, and he had long since lost his senses.

"The old man is asking you, who are you waiting for? Look at your means, when it is not the soldiers and horses of the surrounding towns. Tell me where you are. Han De then frowned and asked again.

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Old General Han has a good vision, but we are not the soldiers and horses of the surrounding towns, we are the Luoyan army of Funiu Mountain in the Great Zhou." In Xia Lin Jue. Of course, if General Han is willing, he can also call me Xiao Quan. ”

"Lin Jue? Xiao Quan? ”

Han Desui immediately understood one thing, he was still wondering how this group of people got into the city, he obviously blocked the city gate and imposed a curfew after getting the news that Zhuozhou was captured a few days ago. In order to prevent the fine sakura and the enemy's manpower from entering the city. But so many enemies suddenly appeared at once, which made Han Desui a little puzzled. Now the truth is revealed, it turns out that they pretended to be soldiers and horses who escorted supplies, and came under the identity of Xiao Quan. Needless to say, Xiao Quan, the deputy general of Xijinwei who was escorting the supplies, was killed by this group of people on the way. These fellows dared to take risks, and they only infiltrated several hours before the battle, knowing that they would let them into the city. Han Desui thought with some annoyance: he was still greedy, knowing that the siege soldiers and horses were about to arrive, and he should refuse anyone to enter the city before that.

But soon Han Desui got rid of this self-blame, and he Han Desui was never the kind of person who was entangled in mistakes and couldn't extricate himself. Now that this is the case, what's the use of regretting? Useless.

"I see, you are really not small, you dare to sneak into my Xijin Mansion to make trouble. Don't you know that this is the Longtan Tiger's Den? You can come in, but if you want to get out alive, I'm afraid it's impossible. By the way, who do you say you are? Lin what? What mountain and what army? Han Desui sneered.

Lin Jue has never been so despised, and he and the Luoyan Army are already famous all over the world. Even the Jurchens who were far away in the land of white mountains and black waters knew the fame of their Luoyan Army, and Lin Jue didn't believe that Han Desui didn't know the name of himself and the Luoyanjun. There was such a big thing in Da Zhou, and he and Guo Bing and his son rebelled out of the capital and entrenched themselves in Funiu Mountain, and then raised a crusade against Guo Xu. How could Liao not know these things? Han De was afraid that he was pretending to be stupid.

"The wild goose army of Funiu Mountain is in Xia Lin Jue. Commander of the Falling Goose Army. Lin Jue smiled.

"Oh, it turned out to be the bandits of Da Zhou. Yes, yes, yes, I remember, your Great Zhou court sent us a document to Daliao, mentioning your name. Your name is Lin Jue, aren't you the former envoy of the Great Wednesday who rebelled? Isn't it you? Han Desui laughed.

Of course, Lin Jue could hear the undisguised sarcasm in Han Desui's words. Hehe responded with a smile: "It's exactly below." However, our Luoyan Army, a bandit, can beat some self-proclaimed regular soldiers. Old General Han, not long ago, my gang of more than 1,000 bandit brothers and I seem to have annihilated five or six thousand elite people of the Liao State under your command. We only killed and wounded quite eighty people. It can be seen that your soldiers and horses are not even as good as bandits. ”

Han Desui's face changed color, and he scolded angrily: "The little one, just take some advantage, and think that he is invincible in the world." The old man personally led the army to clear the wait, and the acquaintances did not get off their horses and surrendered, but when? What does it mean to punish the benefit of the tongue? ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "It is impossible to surrender, we are here to take Xijin Mansion." General Han is indeed famous, but it is far from the point where we will be tempted to hear the wind. Don't you hear that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and General Han is afraid that he is not our opponent. General Han, I would like to advise you, we are going to make a decision in Xijin Mansion, if you know each other, you can withdraw with your soldiers and horses to protect your reputation. Otherwise, I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined here. ”

Han De laughed angrily, looked up to the sky and laughed: "You are just two people playing with the old man, right?" Sure enough, he is a sharp-tongued, disloyal and unrighteous traitor. No wonder I have to tolerate your Great Zhou court, even in the eyes of my Great Liao, you deserve it. ”

Lin Jue had a smile on his face, and said loudly: "I don't bother General Han about my big Zhou's affairs, and I don't have to worry about your old General Han's own affairs." I just want to verify one thing with General Han. Once we have the answer, let's fight to the death. Don't look down on anyone, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield. ”

Han De nodded and shouted, "Okay!" Are you going to fight to the death? but it will be done to you. You want to know something, but just ask. ”

Lin Jue nodded and pondered for a moment, then asked in a loud voice, "Lin only asks one thing." Was the death of my Great Zhou Privy Envoy Yang Jun the idea of your Liao State, or did someone within my Great Zhou suggest it to you? ”

Han De was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, the kid surnamed Lin, you have a lot of eyes." Do you want to know the truth about this? Hahahaha, the old man won't tell you. You can take your time and think about it. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Han Desui, as far as I know, the proposal to kill Yang Jun was your idea. Are you in cahoots with someone in my Great Zhou court? Who is that person? ”

Han Desui sneered: "Boy, you can't get anything from me, you die of this heart." ”

Lin Jue nodded slightly and said, "Okay, that's the case, I'll ask you after I capture you." I'm afraid that you like to toast and don't eat and drink, that's up to you. ”

Han Desui laughed again, gritted his teeth and reprimanded: "Ignorant and arrogant boy, your time of death has come. Today you will be broken into thousands of pieces, and the sky lantern will be lit. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Okay, give you a chance." The person who called you doesn't have to search carefully. We don't have ambushes. Today we have a gentleman's war, you are also cavalry, we are also cavalry, we only have a thousand, but you have thousands. We're going to have a head-to-head battle right down this long street. Charge face-to-face and see who's the rabble. Let's see if the cavalry of the Liao army you claim to be invincible in the world, or the bandits in your mouth like my Luoyan army are more skilled. Do you dare to take my challenge? ”

Han De laughed wildly and roared angrily: "You are asking for death, can the old man still not follow?" ”
