Chapter 206: All-Out Counterattack

General Tuoba took 3,000 Liao army elite horsemen, and quietly touched Lanzhou with his mouth shut, and hid in the darkness about three or five miles outside the west gate of Lanzhou early.

They were ordered by the generalissimo to cooperate with the inner and outer parts of Lanzhou City, control the West City Gate in the shortest possible time and hold it, and wait for General Han's 5,000 vanguard troops to enter the city, even if they completed the task, the next thing will be handed over to the 50,000 Liao troops who will come next.

General Tuoba had already heard the generalissimo Han Guangde say that there were only a lot of 300,000 troops in this city, but a hundred times his own situation did not make him have any fear, in his mind, the courage and fierceness of the grassland people were innate, how could he only know that the weak Han army cowering in the tall city wall could be compared.

"Did you signal correctly? Why haven't they opened the door until now? ”

General Tuoba was already sitting on the horse with the Khitan men behind him, holding in his hand the meniscus saber that was still cold in the dark.

The soldier beside him was also anxious when he asked, and looked at the huge door god who didn't make a sound in the dark.

"General rest assured, our code must be right, according to the orders of the battalion, it should be that we raise the fire and the city gate will be opened, but I don't know why there is no response until now."

General Tuoba frowned when he heard this, "Don't the situation change, right?" ”

When he was already thinking about whether to report to General Han in the rear army........

"Squeak~"

This ancient and low wooden sound was like an old man's lamentation, melodious echoing in the night sky in the northwest, and General Tuoba saw the heavy west gate of Lanzhou, slowly opening to them, connecting the darkness inside and outside the city in an instant.

The gray-blue city wall and the black city gate hole are like the giant mouth of this fortified city, and it seems that it is baring rows of sharp but invisible fangs towards this group of grassland men.

"Kill!"

General Tuoba, who was already determined to win, didn't pay attention to this slightly weird atmosphere at all, he pointed the war knife in his hand forward,

"Woooo

These more than 3,000 Liao Dynasty iron horsemen raised their torches one after another, like a golden dragon wielding war knives everywhere in the night, and headed towards the quiet Lanzhou City without a sound.

As the commander-in-chief, General Tuoba took the lead, leading the cavalry behind him to quickly shorten the distance between him and the city gate.

Three hundred steps

Two hundred steps

One hundred steps

.............

The bloodthirsty war knife in his hand buzzed in the wind, and he couldn't suppress the neighing gallop of the war horse under his crotch, and even if he crossed the city gate, he still couldn't contain the four hooves that were violently stirring, and it wasn't until the scene in the darkness passed by quickly that the general Tuoba realized.......

I seem to have rushed too deep.

"Sigh Rule~"

General Tuoba tightly pulled the reins of the horse in his hand, stopped the galloping war horse in place, and then glanced around with the eagle-like eyes,

Surrounding......

Everything is pitch black........

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with them, because they had already rushed into the city gates, and Lanzhou City was now like a big girl without clothes, and they could take whatever they wanted.

"What's the matter, General? Why don't we go? ”

The adjutant general behind him just barely caught up with General Tuoba's footsteps,

"That's not right! Something is wrong! There are more than 300,000 Xia troops in Lanzhou City, why is there not a single ghost shadow in this city gate? ”

"Maybe our Neiying has already withdrawn all the soldiers and horses, we just need to seize the city gate and let General Han in." The adjutant general didn't quite understand General Tuoba's train of thought, no one, isn't it a good thing?

"No, no."

General Tuoba kept shaking his head, and the indescribable uneasiness in his heart made the horses under his crotch begin to stir in a tumultuous four-hooves, "It's ......... quiet here." ”

"Squeak~"

The old general does have a new and unattainable sensitivity to the situation on the battlefield, and although everything makes sense here, he can still smell the smell of danger,

But

The huge red-lacquered wooden gate didn't intend to let him go because of his keen sense of smell, and after a rumbling sound, it suddenly closed!

"Whoosh! Syllable! ”

An arrow shot into the sky, and countless dazzling torches were erected in the originally quiet streets, shops, and even the city walls almost instantly, and it looked like there were tens of thousands.

"Hit the mark!"

This time, even the lieutenant behind him knew that he was still in trouble!

"Don't panic!"

General Tuoba tried his best to suppress the long tasseled spears in his hands around him, and was little by little towards the panic brought by the Xia army surrounded by them, and his mind was quickly thinking about countermeasures,

Anyway, now the city gate is closed, and the rush can't rush out, but there is no tall city wall in this Lanzhou city, and the Han people want to catch turtles in the urn and are afraid that they must have a strong net, so it is better to look at the city and turn him upside down. I heard that the emperor of the Han people is also in the city, maybe he can make a great achievement!

While thinking like this, General Tuoba quickly reflected and pointed the war knife in his hand towards the city,

"Sons! There is no way back! Why don't you rush in with me and have a good time! ”

It is indeed strange to say that this light cavalry, which had just fallen into a short panic and slump, was shouted out by General Tuoba in such a voice, like a sluggish patient who had eaten some elixir, and it quickly stabilized, and even began to automatically move inward, like a bow like a bow and arrow of the full moon.

Many of these are grassland cavalrymen from the bitter cold land, and they have been warriors on horses since they were children, and their seemingly innate fighting qualities and adaptability are one of the important reasons why they have always been superior to the Great Xia official army in terms of combat power from beginning to end.

merely

Comfort will not give them the opportunity to treat Lanzhou City as a grassland horse farm,

General Tuoba had just rushed forward with his cavalry for less than thirty or fifty paces when he saw a row of tall shield walls glowing with moonlight standing in front of him, and behind the shield wall was a row of soldiers in dark red armor and helmets, aiming at them with something in their hands.

It wasn't until they got closer and closer that General Tuoba could see that they were holding a pole..........

Firebolt!

"Bang bang bang!"

The Liao army's fierce horse speed met this round of salvo projectiles, so that the power of the explosion only increased.

If the bright arrows can still be blocked by waving the steel knife in your hand, but these lead stone projectiles are simply invincible in the dark night, no matter whether you are a warrior on the grassland or a hero on horseback, you will still be blown up with armor and flesh.

Especially General Tuoba and the dozen or so horsemen who were charging forward behind him, Jiang Yun's first volley almost hit their bodies, and General Tuoba himself was blasted out of two or three blood holes in his shoulders and fell under his horse..........

Qingcheng Palace

An Yi stood with his hands and paced back and forth in the courtyard of this palace, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad on his face, just like this, the prince of Shu, Sun Dezhang and Liu Biao behind him, and even Chongzheng, who was sitting in the palace and was awakened early by the sound of the city, but he was not so calm.

The periphery of the palace was surrounded by comfortable personal soldiers and thousands of people from the Gansu border army, and now even if she wants to come in and pour tea and water, I am afraid that she will have to be interrogated three or five times.

"Lord An, is there any news over there?"

The old governor Sun Dezhang couldn't hold back, walked behind An Yi in two steps, and asked,

An Yi turned his head and smiled with relief, and said to him: "Don't worry, the old governor has not yet come to the news, but as soon as this sound sounds, it must be that the firearms battalion and the men and horses of the right guard have already met the Liao." ”

"Now that the commander of the right guard, Gu Chenxi, has been arrested and subdued, who is commanding at the north gate of the city?"

"Zhao Lingfeng, the commander of the left guard, I don't know how many variables there are in the right guard of Chengdu, in case there are other traitors, I'm afraid it won't end well, so I asked him to take the left guard with him, and now there are at least nearly 40,000 Xia troops in the west of the city, and the old governor can rest assured."

After An Yi finished speaking, he asked him rhetorically: "It's just that the old governor has arranged the affairs outside the city?" ”

Sun Dezhang's frown continued to wrinkle just now, but he nodded comfortably and said with certainty: "It's no problem over there, I have already asked Liao Ying to take the Shaanxi Green Camp out of the nest and set up an ambush according to the few locations you said." ”

An Yi also nodded lightly, and was just about to open his mouth to tell him that everything was under control, and let him wait again.

It's just that before the words were handed from the throat to the tip of the tongue, Jin Mingyin's shout was heard from a distance,

"Lord Commander!"

An Yi heard this voice and his heart was also wide, he must have seen it, pointed outside, and said with a smile to the old governor who was still frowning: "Look, the metropolitan governor, isn't this coming." ”

The Metropolitan Governor Sun Dezhang was more anxious than Anyi, and he stepped forward and grabbed Jin Mingyin, who had just turned over and dismounted from the outside, and galloped all the way.

Although Sun Dezhang is already old, his hands that have held weapons for most of his life are like eagle claws, and he grabbed the cuffs of the red lining that Jin Mingyin had just found someone to make under his armor.

Jin Mingyin's young spirit was originally for comfort, but he didn't expect Sun Dezhang to stand up and grab him in one step.

"Tear Pull~"

Shengsheng tore the new clothes of this year's festival into a "flower cuff"!

"Governor, you ........"

Sun Dezhang didn't care about all this, and hurriedly asked, "Ximen has succeeded?" ”

"The vanguard battalion and the left and right guards of Chengdu reported that more than 3,000 light cavalry of the Liao army were annihilated, and the leading general was killed on the spot with a fire gun, and General Zhao Lingfeng had replaced all the right guards who were responsible for guarding the west gate of the city with the left guard of Chengdu, and now the west of the city is completely under our control."

"Good! All right! ”

After hearing this, Sun Dezhang seemed to be immediately smoothed by the night breeze on his face, no matter what the arrangement was in the back, at least An Yiximen's subordinates could finally bring back the "big words" in front of Chongzheng before.

Of course, An Yi is also a stone that fell to the ground, if you want to say that An Yi is not nervous just now, it is also false, but most of the governors are worried about this, it is estimated that the King of Shu is not much better, if he is not the "mastermind" anymore, he will not be able to sit still.

After listening to Jin Mingyin's words, An Yi immediately turned his head to look at Liu Biao behind him,

"General Lanzhou, it's time for you to play! You go to Jiang Shang's camp immediately now, and let him start to dispatch according to my previous order, the follow-up of this Liao army and the troops besieging the city should not be far away, no matter which Liao army you encounter, you will fight me to the death!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Biao, who had long been unable to hold back his excitement, was overflowing, and he arched his hand towards Anyi, and rushed out like a hare with Anyi's words.

"Hey! I'm not done yet! ”

This one by one is really urgent, and when An Yi's words came out, there was no trace of Liu Biao, and he could only hear the sound of horses outside the courtyard and run farther and farther.

"This kid rode away from me.........."

Jin Mingyin was pulled to his side by An Yi halfway through this, and said with a serious face: "You now quickly find a horse to go to Jiang Shang's camp, tell him, and let him also tell General Liao that all the men and horses of the Xia army are not allowed to chase the stream in front of Han Lin, let him remember, he must remember!" ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go!"
