But today they have good news, the long-lost material support has finally arrived. God knows how they brought in food, weapons, and salt in such weather. Watching the heavy sleds passing by him, Liu Wenxiu, who had a beard on his face, smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Dragon King, I've finally got you here." Liu Wenxiu, who had a thick Liaodong accent, laughed and walked to the side of the Fire Dragon King, and directly gave him a warm bear hug, "If you don't come, our brothers, the old and the young, will starve to death." ”
"Haha, Brother Liu, I'm sorry, those Dongying dwarfs are making a lot of noise, it's too late, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The Fire Dragon King also liked this rugged and heroic man, and hammered him on the back of the tiger a few times.
"It's okay, it's okay, I know that our Chicheng is reliable, and he won't ignore us." Liu Wenxiu didn't care, and said with a laugh.
"Okay, it's too cold outside, let's go into the house and talk slowly." Seeing that the support had arrived, Bai Jingtang also breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two with a smile.
"Don't be busy, Brother Liu, these cars of things must be put away, and no one must approach them." The Fire Dragon King pointed to a few sleds covered with thick felt cloth around him and said solemnly, there are the remaining eighty boxes of beehive arrows, whether they can inflict heavy damage on Ye Lu Feng or not, it all depends on them.
"What's this good stuff?" Seeing that the Fire Dragon King was very solemn, Liu Xiuwen became interested, since he returned to the Chicheng Army, he had seen too many good things, extremely sharp horizontal swords, strong and thin iron armor, and indestructible feather arrows, these things had never been seen before. Hearing the Fire Dragon King say this, he immediately asked expectantly.
"You'll know later, Lord Bai, find someone to keep it properly." The Fire Dragon King didn't say anything, and he sold a little pass.
After the guests and hosts sat down, Liu Wenxiu immediately beckoned his subordinates to serve wine and food, all kinds of meat in large pots, and sorghum spirits in jars, such a hospitality style can only be said to be very Liaodong. But the Fire Dragon King likes it very much, and every time he comes, he has a lot of fun.
"Dragon King, you can come over smoothly, is it solved by the Dongying people." After three rounds of drinking, Liu Wenxiu wiped the wine stains on his mouth and asked.
"Well, it's all settled." The Fire Dragon King smiled and nodded.
"In this way, congratulations to the Dragon King, solve the Dongying people in one fell swoop, it must be a great achievement, the Dragon King has been promoted, don't forget the old brother." Bai Jingtang picked up the wine bowl and said jokingly.
In Liaodong over the years, Bai Jingtang is quite honest, assisting Liu Wenxiu with his heart, the Liaodong Rebel Army has today's situation, this person is indispensable, everyone slowly began to accept him, few people can still remember that he used to be an out-and-out traitor.
"Brother Bai smiled." The Fire Dragon King also expressed full goodwill to Bai Jingtang, "It is not my credit to be able to land successfully this time, thanks to General Liu Jian Liu and General Liu led an army of 10,000 to come to support, otherwise it would definitely not have been solved so smoothly." Even so, our sailors have suffered heavy losses, and those Dongying dwarfs are really dead. ”
At that moment, the Fire Dragon King and Liu Wenxiu talked about the scene of the battle with the Dongying people, and remembered the terrible fighting will of the Dongying people, and the Dragon King still had palpitations.
"Hey, these little Dongying, I can't see that I can still fight so well, I must fight with them a few times when I have the chance, I really want to see what they are like." When Liu Wenxiu heard the highlights, he slapped the table and said happily.
"Haha, Brother Liu doesn't think there are enough Khitans? Do you want to come to the sea to rob the old brother of the credit? "I know Liu
Wenxiu is a warmonger, the Fire Dragon King quipped.
"What is the situation of the Khitans now, has Ye Lufeng made any big moves?" The Fire Dragon King's face was straight, and he asked solemnly.
Seeing the attitude of the Fire Dragon King, Liu Wenxiu and the others also put away their smiles, "What can the Khitans do when the snow covers the mountain?" Still blocked outside Changbai Mountain and refused to disperse. They had now entangled 20,000 elite cavalry and 30,000 infantry of various tribes, and they only had to wait for the snow to melt before attacking. ”
"Wait until the snow is almost gone?" The Fire Dragon King groaned, "It's already March, we have a month at most, Brother Liu, you send your brothers out to perform now, pretend that your food supplies are insufficient, and you will have a decisive battle with them at the beginning of spring." ”
"Why is that?" Liu Wenxiu didn't know why.
Don't talk about him, even Bai Jingtang didn't understand what the Fire Dragon King meant, but the Fire Dragon King didn't plan to explain, he only told them that they would naturally see after a month.
More than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and since two years ago, the weather seems to have warmed up a lot, and the winter is no longer as cold as in previous years, and it is only less than April, and the snow in Liaodong has almost melted, and the time has come for large-scale battles.
Standing on the camp wall of the tiger's mouth, the Fire Dragon King looked up at the sky, and the warm sun made him very comfortable. Although he knew that the Khitan army was pouring out to kill here, this did not affect the mood of the Fire Dragon King at all. If the weather returns to normal, Akagi will not have to endure the white plague of previous years, which is a good rest for the military and civilians of Akagi.
"Dragon King, can we do this?" Liu Wenxiu walked to the side of the Fire Dragon King, looked around at the soldiers, and asked worriedly.
The soldiers guarding the camp wall are very strange, there are two thousand people, which is a lot of people, but they have a common characteristic, that is, they are too thin, and the whole army is more than 20,000 people, and all the thin people are gathered here. This was specially ordered by the Dragon King, and Liu Wenxiu didn't understand what the Fire Dragon King meant by doing this.
"According to my strategy, there is absolutely no problem. As long as you can lure the enemy deeper, Brother Liu, you can see that the big killing weapons I brought can shoot the Khitans on their backs. The Fire Dragon King said confidently.
"That's good, that's good." Knowing that the Fire Dragon King was not a person who couldn't tell the difference, he didn't ask anymore.
"Brother Liu, you will still be in command when the fight starts, the old brother of the foot battle is not familiar with it, and he will make a mistake." Knowing that his status was much higher than Liu Wenxiu, the Fire Dragon King was afraid that Liu Wenxiu would have something in mind, so he said frankly.
"Okay, the dragon king will see." The bold Liu Wenxiu was not hypocritical, and immediately agreed.
In fact, Liu Wenxiu's rebel army was different from the ordinary peasant rebel army, they were not a rabble. Since he decided to support Liu Wenxiu, it was impossible for Qin Wang to not only provide him with supplies and weapons, but also openly and secretly sent a large number of elite officers over, and these officers carried out a thorough transformation of the rebel troops, so it can be said that now Liu Wenxiu's troops are no different from the regular army.
"It's coming!" Seeing the dozens of scouts scattered out running back like wolves, Liu Wenxiu's spirit was shocked, "The whole army is on alert, the enemy is coming!" ”
Although they were thin, the two thousand rebel troops immediately prepared in an orderly manner, without the slightest worry on their faces, and they could be seen that they were all veterans of a hundred battles.
Stopping at the place of two arrows at the Tiger's Pass, Ye Lufeng looked up and down at the pass.
Compared with two years ago in Akagi, Ye Lufeng is very calm
Many. Because of the defeat of Akagi, he was severely punished by the king of the North Courtyard, and he was hidden in the snow for more than a year, and that time was the darkest day for him, and he was very negative for a while. This time he was sent to suppress the Liaodong rebellion, and he finally had a place to use, and in several encounters last year, he taught Liu Wenxiu a few times, and his self-confidence returned to his face. He vowed to completely exterminate Liu Wenxiu by May and prove his ability to the king of the Northern Courtyard.
According to the intelligence some time ago, the rebel army led by Liu Wenxiu should have run out of supplies. It is understandable that tens of thousands of them are hiding in the mountains, there is no material supply, and they cannot be transported in from outside, so it is inevitable that the materials will be consumed. In the past month or so, Liu Wenxiu's rebel army has attacked several small Khitan tribes and looted the tribes' provisions. He also designed several ambushes and killed many rebel soldiers. There are all kinds of indications that the rebels really have no way out this time. When he saw that the soldiers on the pass were so thin, he was even more convinced of this.
"General, it seems that the rebel army is really out of supplies. The defenders of such an important position in the pass are actually a group of thin people, and they really have no one. Ye Lufeng's lieutenant obviously also saw this and said loudly.
"Don't be careless, that Liu Wenxiu is not a stupid person, don't fall for him." Ye Lufeng nodded without sadness or joy and said cautiously.
"But General, since the traitors have no provisions, why don't we trap them? If you attack like this, you will inevitably have losses. Seeing Ye Lufeng's cautious appearance, the adjutant general asked strangely.
"There are many long nights and dreams, and there are many signs that behind these rebels is the Chicheng army, and the Chicheng army has great powers, and if Liu Wenxiu is not eliminated as soon as possible, I am worried that they will cause chaos for us." It is very likely to kill Liu Wenxiu today, Ye Lufeng is in a very good mood, and he can't help but say more, "Attack!" ”
A horn sounded, and 10,000 Khitan infantry launched an attack on the pass. Not to be outdone, the rebel soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately launched a counterattack, and the abundant garrison equipment inflicted huge casualties on the Khitan infantry.
"Lingering!" Seeing that the rebels on the pass fought back fiercely, Ye Lufeng smiled coldly, in his opinion, this was just the last struggle of the rebels.
"Order, another 10,000 people." Seeing that his infantry was showing signs of defeat and retreat, Ye Lufeng ordered, "Tell the Warlord that you are not allowed to withdraw your troops if you don't go down the pass!" ”
Another 10,000 Khitan infantry of various ethnic groups rushed towards the pass under the supervision of a thousand Khitan cavalry, and the absolute superiority of the force to attack the small Tiger Pass was still easy, and after a stick of incense, the gate of the pass was broken. The defenders on the pass scattered and fled, and some even fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion while running.
Seeing the door of the Tiger Pass open, Ye Lufeng was overjoyed, "The whole army pressed on, rushed in, and the chickens and dogs were not left." Seeing the appearance of the defenders, he did not have any anger in his heart, and ordered loudly.
After receiving the order, all the Khitan troops pressed on and rushed towards the tiger's mouth with a howl. Ye Lufeng, who was heavily defended by hundreds of Qin Forgets, rode his horse into the tiger's mouth and instinctively looked at the terrain of the tiger's mouth. The tiger's mouth looks very narrow on the outside, but it is very wide inside, and behind the pass is an open land within a radius of several miles, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people to fight. The open field leads to the depths of the Taihang Mountain, and there is a valley more than ten zhang wide, and more than 1,000 rebel defenders are fleeing to the valley.
"Stop!" Seeing that valley, Yelufeng hurriedly gave an order and ordered the entire army to stop.
