Chapter 130: The First Confrontation

Chengdu

South Gate of the city

Jiang Tianhao didn't expect that this Yelu Xiuke only hesitated for a moment, and after the first wave of three or five hundred cavalry he ordered rushed out, he saw through Jiang Tianhao's empty city plan, determined that the air defense of Chengdu South Gate City was weak, and immediately ordered the whole army to charge, intending to break through the South Gate in one go.

When he saw this first wave of cavalry, Jiang Tianhao was still happy in his heart, although the foot soldiers in his hands could not be completely resisted, but at least they could be dragged until the reinforcements arrived.

But the second wave of cavalry, who didn't act according to the script at all, was like a bucket of cold water, pouring his head on his head in this cold winter, and he was cold from his hair to his heels.

There's no way, it's too late to retreat at this point, except for praying in my heart that the horse of the tiger who reported the news ran faster, so I could only bite the bullet.

Jiang Tianhao in front of the formation slowly retreated into the formation,

"Prepare to take the enemy!"

Jiang Tianhao's words did not deceive Yelu Xiuke, but they convinced the soldiers of the Suzaku Battalion who were still afraid and hesitant just now, and they all felt that the regimental training envoy was looking at him with the army behind him, all of them showing fierce light and high fighting spirit!

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the Liao army led by virtue of the momentum of stepping off the war horse just broke into the Suzaku camp military formation, and was slashed on the thigh by the sergeant of the Suzaku Camp who jumped out with red eyes.

"Poof!"

The iron helmet on the head was not the opponent of the full moon scimitar in the hands of the Liao people at all, and a human head wrapped in half an iron helmet rolled down to the position, and the sharp cold light made the blood in the neck disappear for a while, and it spewed out the body of the head several feet high,

The splatters of blood sprayed in the air, so that the cavalry on the horse were blurred by the blood, and they subconsciously had to wipe it with their cuffs.

The Xia soldier on the left saw his comrade being killed, and his heart was full of blood, and he seized the moment when the cavalry was bloody, stepped on the stirrup of the cavalry, and let the whole body take this as the focus point, and jumped up.

"Ahh

He plunged his sword into the cavalryman's chest!

Rao is a tall and mighty Khitan, and there is no chance of survival after this fatal blow, and his hands are helplessly grabbed in his chest, but he is no longer able to stop the fierce sergeant in front of him and the war knife in his hand that penetrates into his chest inch by inch.

In the end, his hands were loosened, his eyes were dilated, and he lost his life.

"Hahaha!"

Looking at the "masterpiece" in his hand, the Xia Jun looked extremely excited, pulled out his battle knife, and let his already hideous face be bathed in the blood mist that erupted from the chest of the Liao cavalry.

"Whew!"

However, before he could vent for a while, he was rounded by the scimitar in his hand by the Liao people who came later, and gave him a disembowelment with the help of horse speed.

Bai Huahua's intestines and the sweetness that kept turning out of his mouth made his eyes dark, and he fell on the Liao people who had just been killed by himself.

"Whoosh!"

At such a close distance, Rao is Liao people are wearing heavy armor, and they have to be pierced by the short crossbow in Jiang Tianhao's hand, and between the short arrows and cold rays, he accurately killed the lives of several cavalrymen.

It's just that

With the Liao people rushing into front of the battle, the pressure on the defense line of the Suzaku Battalion rose sharply,

And the most lethal is the second wave of cavalry of Yelu Xiuke, which is constantly magnifying in Jiang Tianhao's eyes.

If this first wave of impact was a cold dish that Yeluxiu could give them, then the next pair of blood-red eyes and the scimitar in his hand were going to skip the hot dishes and serve them desserts and fruit plates to end this "dinner"!

Rao is Xia army, who has a high fighting spirit, still can't avoid the actual gap, and the Liao people tore apart the already not very strong defense line little by little, which made Jiang Tianhao worry for a while.

However, at this moment of his uncertainty, Jeruxiuk's men and horses had already rushed to his face.

"Huh!"

Just when Jiang Tianhao raised the short crossbow in his hand and was about to release a few deadly cold rays, the shot of the jade dragon spear in Yelu Xiuke's hand had already reached him like an evil dragon.

"Boom!"

The spear head made of cold iron was accurately pointed on the bracket of the short crossbow in Jiang Tianhao's hand, and the short crossbow made of wood was completely vulnerable in front of the jade dragon spear of Yelu Xiuke, and together with the broken arrow shaft, it was poked in front of Jiang Tianhao's face and was torn apart.

Jiang Tianhao was so shocked that he retreated four or five steps in a row,

But Yelu Xiuke didn't mean to stop at all, he pulled back the jade dragon spear with his right hand, and held the reins of the horse with his left hand, just like to catch up and pierce this bluffing young general!

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a bang

Yelu Xiuke felt that the head of the jade dragon spear in his hand, as if it had been hit by something, suddenly sank heavily to the ground, and the entire iron gun shaft was buzzed by the violent impact, and the clenched tiger's mouth was already sour, and the jade dragon spear that usually danced was felt unusual weight in his hands at this time.

When he heard the sound and looked up, he saw a young man in armor on the city wall, holding this white smoke in his hand.

It was obvious that the blow on the Jade Dragon Spear just now was from him.

"Brother Ming Yin!"

Jiang Tianhao, who was in the city, raised his head and saw this person, as if he had seen a savior, and blurted out excitedly,

Then he didn't forget to turn his head and viciously shouted at Yelu Xiuke, who almost killed him just now: "Thief! Our army has arrived! Don't give the head quickly! ”

Jin Mingyin's life ringing, like a starting symbol, opened a death movement interlaced with the sound of firearms on the southern city wall,

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The sudden reinforcements rang one after another, which not only dealt a double blow to the Liao army's physical and morale, but also boosted the hearts of the defenders of the Suzaku Battalion, who had already shown a declining trend!

Hit the trick!

This was the only thought that popped into Jerushuk's mind at this time,

Looking at the poles on the city wall that are spewing fire, it is obvious that the Xia army has been prepared for a long time, and it will inevitably suffer under its own strong attack, there should be a large number of ambushes in the city gate, and these at the gate are probably just bait!

"Honk! Remove! ”

With Yelu Xiuke's order, the Liao army's commanders sounded the horn to collect the troops, and after discarding a pile of corpses with the Xia army, the Liao cavalry withdrew from the position alternately.

Jiang Tianhao didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly gathered the remnants of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, retracted back into the city, and closed the red lacquered wooden gate inlaid with copper nails with a "bang".

After the first battle, Rao is Suzaku battalion still lost nearly half of the team of more than 900 people in the case of high morale, and less than 400 people returned to the city.

This battle also allowed all the Chengdu defenders, including Jiang Tianhao, to see the courage of this northwest nation.

"Tianhao, you weren't hurt anywhere, were you?"

Seeing Jiang Tianhao who had climbed the city wall, Jin Mingyin hurriedly stepped forward to see if this young man had been beaten off by the Liao.

Jiang Tianhao smiled and responded: "It's okay, it's okay, it's thanks to Brother Ming Yin's timely arrival, otherwise I would almost be left here." ”

Jin Mingyin looked up and down, and after confirming that he was intact, he made a straight face at him angrily, and said angrily: "What did Jiang Junshi say?" Thousands of instructions not to go out of the city, not to go out of the city, why do you have to fight with the Liao people in this posture! ”

"No, I see that the Liao people are menacing, and there are only 900 or so people in my hands, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it, so I plan to scare him with an empty city plan, delay the time and wait for you to come to help, who knew that these Liao people reacted so quickly!"

Jiang Tianhao hurriedly explained, he looked behind Jin Mingyin, and found that there were only thirty or fifty gunners on the city wall and under the city, and there were no other horses, so he had some doubts in his heart and asked, "Brother Mingyin, why didn't my father come?" ”

Jin Mingyin didn't say anything, just took the cloth bag hanging from his waist to hold the projectile and showed it to Jiang Tianhao,

It's empty!

"Count your kid's life! I was about to go to Uncle Jiang to get supplies, and when I saw the tiger in your camp with a rushing face, I stopped and asked before I knew that something was wrong with you here. I asked him to go to Uncle Jiang for help, and then rushed over with someone first. These dozens of people were supposed to move things, how many projectiles could they hold in their hands? If the Liao people in the city hesitate a little longer, I will take my brothers to exchange swords and go out to support you. ”

Jin Mingyin remembered what happened just now, and he still seemed a little palpitating, and he wondered in his heart, is this Liao person so afraid of firecrackers? Why did you run away after a few shots?

Listening to Jiang Tianhao's words, I knew that the Liao people regarded him as an ambush soldier in Tianhao's mouth, and the two of them accidentally co-starred in an "empty city show", which scared off tens of thousands of Liao troops!

Jiang Tianhao sat on the ground and sighed: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not dangerous!" In any case, this surprise attack of the Liao people was resolved. ”

Hearing him say this, Jin Mingyin looked at the city gate that was still in Xia Jun's hands, and let out a heavy breath................

Although the battle at the south gate of the city did not turn into a big battle due to Jin Mingyin's timely arrival by mistake, Yelu Xiuke's magic weapon descended from the sky, but it still had a great impact in Chengdu City in a very short duration.

Now everyone from top to bottom is shrouded in a haze, as if this ancient city, which has been silent for hundreds of years, has been dragged into the quagmire of the northwest battlefield at once.

The Liao people are coming!

In particular, the name of the little prince Jeluxiuko, under the word of mouth, whether intentionally or unintentionally, has become like a rakshasa who has just crawled out of purgatory, and he has to eat a pair of human livers raw every day! Everywhere I went, there were corpses all over the field, and there was no grass!

It is rumored that the Liao soldiers under his command are all protected by the demon god, and they are invulnerable, even if they are beheaded, they can still continue to fight with a scimitar.

There are even rumors that the Xia army has been completely annihilated, and Yelu Xiuke has led a large army to surround Chengdu this time, and only surrender can save his life, but if he resists, the chicken and dog will not be left on the day the city is broken! All the men were beheaded, and the women were brought back to the steppe to be enslaved forever!

This makes this ancient city, which was not psychologically prepared, even more panicked!

Out of the scheming of stabilizing the army, but also out of accurate judgment of the current situation,

At Jiang Ruyue's suggestion, Gao Yingshu still recruited all these people to the Shu Palace.

"Your Highness, the Liao people suddenly appeared in Chengdu without warning, there must be something wrong with the first line of heaven!"

The old envoy Zhou Rulin analyzed,

Jiang Ruyue frowned tightly and groaned: "It shouldn't be, even if it's a tight line of heaven, it won't be able to send back even a word, right?" The last time the Ann sent back a letter, it also told us that before Jerushhu was blocked, let us prepare for the war with peace of mind. ”

"Is it possible that this group of Liao people broke through the first line of heaven overnight, and not a single Xia army was released?"

Zhu Zongchen was also very puzzled, he had given Wugu Sect an order to attack the Liao people before, but he didn't know whether he didn't come into contact with it or was directly defeated, as if the Liao people didn't receive great resistance.

"Brother Nayi, he ......."

Jin Mingyin's words didn't come out of his mind, and blurted out

But falling into Gao Yingshu's ears, it made her heart pinch all of a sudden, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was a little worried about the safety of Anyi,

"Impossible!"

But soon, Jiang Shang gave her a reassuring pill,

"I fought with the Jurchens outside the Guan, although the Jurchens and Khitans are fishing and hunting peoples, and the other is a nomadic people, but they are both good at cavalry, and their combat methods are relatively similar, both of which are based on rapid breakthroughs and strive to annihilate a large number of enemy troops in the field as the main means, and they can be said to be very bad at this kind of battle in the first line of sky.

Moreover, the two lords had at least seven or eight thousand men and horses in the hands of the first line of heaven, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be completely annihilated by Jeluxiu one night. ”

Jiang Ruyue thought about it for a while, and then continued: "Jiang Tuanlian thinks it is possible that the Liao people have bypassed the first line of heaven?" ”

Jiang Shang nodded in agreement, "Jiang Junshi's meaning is the same as what I want to say, it is very likely that the Liao people are pretending to be suspicious soldiers, avoiding their eyes, and then bypassing the first line of heaven and attacking Chengdu by surprise!" ”

"So, Lord An's men and horses are on their way back to defense?"

Jiang Tianhao interjected,

Jiang Shang said "um" in a deep voice, "I think that's the case." ”

"Since this is the case, then all we can do is to make sure that Chengdu is not lost, as for the rumors about the first line of heaven in the city, when they come back, they will definitely be self-defeating, but during this period, I want you to bear more."

Gao Yingshu looked at the group of people present and said, and then specially told Zhou Rulin next week: "During the war, everything on Lord Zhou's side is strict, but all incidents involving theft of military supplies, injury to people, false rumors and other incidents will be punished heavily, and will not be tolerated!" ”

"Xia Guan understands!"
