Chapter 248: On the eve of the Battle of the Baigou River

Nanjing, that is, the former Youzhou of the Liao State, the city wall is three zhang high, the wall is one zhang and five feet thick, the city is thirty and sixteen miles, there are eight gates around it, it is the male city that has a number in the world, and its specifications are comparable to the solid Taiyuan city.

Jerod stood on top of the wall, looking far to the north.

In the distance, there is a faint camp. Yelu Dashi used his full eyesight to barely see a line of flags.

For the first time in this plane, the enemy had camped so far away.

The Emperor of the Jin State fought from Zhongjing to Nanjing, and encountered almost no real resistance along the way, so the Jin soldiers were extremely arrogant.

Unexpectedly, they encountered an unprecedented blow in Nanjing, the last city of Liao.

The steam crossbow was so ferocious that the Jin soldiers who only fought suffered heavy losses and left a large number of corpses. Ah Guta immediately pulled out the camp and retreated two miles before he dared to set up camp again.

Yelu Dashi smiled to himself.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the princess of Shu - Yelu Yu Liyan who finally renewed the life of Da Liao.

If it weren't for her big Song Xiaolover who made such an anti-heaven steam crossbow, Nanjing would have broken long ago.

However, the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, the princess's father, ordered Yu Liyan's mother and brother to be killed.

Is this revenge for virtue, princess? Yelu Dashi couldn't figure it out. It's a really bad debt.

He didn't think about it anymore. It's useless to think about it, at present, he not only doesn't know Yelu Yanxi's life and death, but also doesn't know Yu Liyan's whereabouts.

Like the legendary ancient monsters, the steam crossbow crouched on the city wall one after another, its thick body exuding an icy cold light, ready to shoot huge crossbow arrows that no one could stop, and harvest all the life in front of them.

No one can escape under a steam crossbow.

It's a pity that although Ah Guta is known as the royal driver, he has never appeared in front of the battle array. If he dares to show his face, Jerodashi will definitely take his life.

The steam crossbow designed by Qin Mu has a complete drawing and production process, plus refined steel, so each steam crossbow has similar performance - this is very similar to the industrial products of later generations.

Yelu Dashi is very satisfied with one of the abilities of the steam crossbow, and that is accuracy!

Because the power of the steam crossbow comes from the boiler, and the boiling point of water is fixed at 100 degrees, the power output of the steam crossbow will not be reduced over time like human or animal power.

Yelu Dashi is very sure, in the case of a fixed angle, several consecutive crossbow arrows can basically hit a fixed place.

This gives Yelu Dashi the ability to strike with precision.

If Ah Guda appeared in front of the battle array in a yellow robe, Yelu Dashi was sure that one round of shots would kill him.

It's a pity that the legendary brave and invincible Emperor Jin didn't really take the lead without fear of danger.

Yelu Dashi searched all over the battle array, but he didn't find the figure of Aguta. This person is really cunning and abnormal.

However, Yelu Dashi was soon relieved. Rumors are always exaggerated. If Wanyan Aguda was really brave and unscrupulous, how could the Jin Kingdom rise so quickly.

This is not something that a reckless man can do.

Nanjing has been besieged for two months. After nearly a month of stubborn defense, the country of Jin seems to have been wilted. In the past month, the people of the Jin Kingdom have not launched a single attack, and they have surrounded the city from a distance, as if they are surrounding their prey.

Jerodashi knew exactly what they were waiting for.

Jin Guo was waiting for the Great Song Dynasty to send troops. They don't want to die in vain.

Yelu Dashi felt a hint of regret. If the Great Song Dynasty did not send troops, there were only the Jin people in front of him, and he would not be too worried.

Man has to eat. The people of the Jin Kingdom are also people, and they also have to eat.

The grain around Nanjing has long been looted by Yelu Dashi and hoarded in the city. Now Nanjing's grain stock is enough for the city people to eat for a year. He has enough confidence to go down with the people of Jinguo.

After all, the golden soldiers are on an expedition, and their food and grass are limited. Without supplies, it is absolutely impossible to hold out for long.

If Da Song doesn't make a move, Yelu Dashi estimates that Ah Guda will retreat after holding on for another month at most.

He extremely expected the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to be as timid as before, and did not dare to send troops because he was afraid of the Liao State. This is the only life for him and the remnants of the Liao State.

It's a pity that a few days ago, I received a report that the vanguard of the Song army had appeared on the bank of the Baigou River.

It seems that Zhao Ji is going to take advantage of the fire to rob.

At this time, Yelu Dashi couldn't help but think of Guo Yaoshi. If he hadn't surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty with his men and horses, the battlefield would not have been so close to Nanjing.

If Zhuozhou and Yizhou were still in the hands of Liao, the Song army could only stop on the banks of the Yishui River. There is still a long way to go from Nanjing, and there is still room for manoeuvre.

However, the two states changed hands, and the front immediately approached Nanjing.

Baigou River is only a day's journey from Nanjing. As long as the Song army broke through the line of the Baigou River, Nanjing immediately fell into the realm of being attacked by the enemy.

If at that time, Yelu Dashi believes, Nanjing will definitely not be able to hold it.

There are still too few steam crossbows, and once they are used separately, they will not achieve the purpose of stopping the enemy.

If the steam crossbow can't suppress the enemy, the city of Nanjing can be broken.

Therefore, there is only one way in front of Yelu Dashi: at the Baigou River, kill and retreat the Song army.

Tong Guan, let the horse come over, and let a certain family teach the means of the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, the Song army of Liao was all in place. The leader is Tong Guan.

He led 150,000 forbidden troops, plus people from all walks of life, to gather 200,000 people, with Zhuozhou as the main camp, and Youzhou was far away.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

Tong Guan is full of confidence in this expedition. Zhao Liangsi got the exact news that the Jin State had really defeated the Liao State.

Now, the whereabouts of Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of Liao, are unknown, and Zhongjing of Liao has been occupied by Jin. At present, there is only Nanjing, that is, Youzhou, such a city, which is still in the hands of the Liao people.

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard the news.

Such a powerful Liao State, if you say no, it will be gone. No matter how powerful the tiger is, if all its limbs are broken, and only a large mouth with missing teeth remains, it is not a worry.

Today's Liao State is like a paralyzed tiger, only half a breath left.

Now, the invincible Tong Taishi is here, so don't breathe in the Liao Kingdom.

With an army of 200,000, can't you destroy a Youzhou city?

Tong Guan has no doubt about victory, he only wants a quick victory!

If it drags on for a long time, Youzhou will be beaten down by the people of the Jin Kingdom first, then it will make you lose face.

Therefore, as soon as the men and horses arrived, mainly the western armies of all roads were in place, Tong Guan immediately issued an order to attack.

"Towards Youzhou! Kill all the people of Liao! ”

The 200,000 army, of course, cannot be pushed forward in a row. You can't go that way.

To move towards Youzhou, you have to follow the main road.

Tong Guan knew very well the strength of the forbidden army - that is, it was vulnerable, so he didn't dare to put the forbidden army in front at all, but let the Liu family army be on the right flank, the Zhejia army on the left flank, and the seed army in the center.

The forbidden army followed himself to press the formation behind.

This kind of formation is good for the Liu family's army, but it is a big trouble for the Zhejia army.

Because the Folding Army that came this time is not the original Folding Army. This is a remnant army, and it is more than enough to rob the people, but if you fight, then you can avoid it.

Wu Jie didn't expect that he was being used as a striker at all.

According to the experience of Zhengfangla, Tong Guan should be mainly based on the forbidden army, supplemented by the Western army, so that the credit can fall into his pocket. Wu Jie also planned according to the pattern of Zheng Fangla.

But he didn't expect that Liao and Fang La were not enemies at the same level at all.

Tong Guan was not afraid of Fang La, so he dared to use the forbidden army as the main force and the western army to fight. encountered hard bones that couldn't be gnawed, so the Western Army was allowed to go.

But Tong Guan was afraid of Liao. In front of the soldiers and horses of the Liao State, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be useless. In this way, he would never dare to let the forbidden army take the lead.

The Western Army can fight, and the Western Army will go first.

This suddenly put Wu Jie in great danger.

Robbery in the front, war in the back, this is a strategy that Wu Jie has long set. But now the situation has changed unexpectedly, and his Wu family army is at the forefront, and ten miles in front is the Baigou River.

According to the scout's report, a large number of Liao troops have appeared on the other side of the Baigou River, estimated to be nearly 10,000 people.

This is to send yourself to death!

Wu Jie couldn't help but pull the reins and stopped. He ordered the entire detachment to stop the march. Let's take a break.

The sky is blue and the breeze is blowing, which is really a rare good weather. But Wu Jie was full of worries and couldn't relax at all.

He boasted that he was the world's Zhuge , but all along, his fate was ill-fated, and he never met him.

Wu Jie originally wanted to take the opportunity of this expedition to Liao, "Dapeng rose with the wind one day and soared to 90,000 miles", but who knew that he met Qin Mu.

He still remembers every scene of that day.

What kind of artifact is that mobile phone? How can you lock people up inside?

Wu Jie's head was full of questions. This is completely beyond the scope of this Zhuge Liang of the time.

Don't say it's him who is a fake Zhuge Liang, it's the real Zhuge Liang who came back to life, and he hasn't seen a mobile phone.

However, Qin Mu didn't explain much to him. In Qin Mu's opinion, this is purely a waste of time. Just looking at Wu Jie's behavior along the way, coupled with the heart of his family, he can't go all the way with himself.

Since he is not an ally, and he can't talk about being an enemy now, Qin Mu really doesn't want to waste time on outsiders.

He casually said a perfunctory sentence and left. With his identity, Wu Jie naturally didn't dare to force him to stay.

Qin Mu disappeared the next day, and even his subordinates and the second son of the Zhe family were all gone.

This made Wu Jie inexplicable. Zhe Keqiu told him that Zhe Kecun was here to investigate the terrain, so Wu Jiecai made a plan all the way. But what does it mean to be able to save and go?

But Wu Jie couldn't ask—no one could find it.

Qin Mu's subordinates were not old, weak, sick or disabled. On the contrary, Qin Mu brought the elite of the Guards Regiment. Come without a trace, go without a trace.

Not to mention that Wu Jie's soldiers still lacked arms and legs, even if their limbs were sound, they couldn't find Qin Mu's figure.

If even they can find traces of the Guards Regiment, then these special forces will not have the face to call themselves special forces.

Qin Mu's people and horses were as magical as his mobile phone, and if he couldn't see it, he would disappear, leaving only Wu Jie's huge confusion.

However, at this time, Wu Jie didn't have time to be distracted to think about this, he had to find a way out for himself and the newly formed Wu family army.

But where is the way to live?
