Chapter 128: Darkness Chen Cang

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Zeng Ziren's order, a line of arrows in the sky was like flying locusts, and the tips of the clusters that flashed cold light under the cover of night poured down like raindrops, although it was a heavily armed Liao cavalry, it was difficult to escape the fate of being pierced through the chest by arrows, and the blood splashed under the horse, becoming a member of the corpses all over the valley.

"How many times has this been?"

The comfort on the cliff, already beside the boulder to observe the situation in the valley of the man,

"It's been a day of fighting, and it's the ninth time that the Liao people have attacked."

Lin Muzhi beside him replied,

Pei Zhenfeng stood behind An Yi, looked at the Liao army who was fighting with Zeng Ziren's men and horses, and said: "My lord, this Liao people don't seem to have much experience in this kind of tough battle, so they only care about fighting and rushing, and at the end of this day, even Zeng Ziren's defense line has not broken through." ”

An Yi is not as optimistic as him, he always feels that something is wrong, this Liao people seem to be deliberately showing weakness, every time they organize an attack on the first line of heaven, they are quickly defeated by Zeng Ziren, leaving a few corpses and fleeing, not showing the same combat effectiveness as in the battle of Qingchuan River at all, it is completely a touch of collapse, which once made him wonder if the Liao people have other plans,

But the general in bright armor standing under the banner of the tiger head in front of the valley made him settle down, since Yelu Xiu was here, it means that the main force of the Liao army is here, as long as the main force is nailed here, Chengdu will not be bad.

Like the previous eight attacks, when Zeng Ziren's soldiers and horses jumped out of the cols on both sides of the valley mouth, the Liao army hurriedly abandoned their companions who had been shot to the ground by the rain of arrows, turned their horses' heads in panic, and ran towards the valley.

Zeng Ziren held the sword at his waist, looked at the retreating Liao army with disdain, and said arrogantly to the arrogant behind him: "See, I, Zeng Ziren, regard this Liao people as pigs, dogs, grass mustard, three thousand people and horses, just block their tens of thousands of troops, as long as I am here, not a single bird will want to fly to Chengdu!" ”

A few generals of Long'an Mansion behind him hurriedly took the opportunity to pat his ass, mighty, god of war, Changsheng general, anyway, he didn't have to pay taxes, but he put it on his face, everyone, you say a word, and I don't know if I hold Zeng Ziren,

With a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Tell our people, don't hide and hide, just fortify in this line of heaven, and wait until the day when the Liao army's grain and grass are exhausted, follow me to chase and kill, take the head of the little prince, and pour wine for you!" ”

"Good!"

A group of people who have been carried away by victory have begun to fantasize about the moment of victory.

On the cliff

An Yi looked at the group of jubilant and excited people in Guguchi's eyes, and helped his forehead worriedly, and he didn't know if this Liao people were deliberately arrogant about their soldiers, anyway, this Zeng Ziren relaxed a point, he had to be tight here, fighting with this little young master, it was really tiring, not only had to take into account the Liao people, but also had to pay attention to his movements at all times.

"Look, sir! The Liao people began to camp in formation! ”

An Yi followed the direction pointed by Meng Qi, and sure enough, he saw the Liao people who had retreated, and began to set up camps in front of the first line of sky, and under the protection of the cavalry, they built fences and various camp defenses.

What does that mean? But did Jeruxiu think he had a lot of food? Fight a protracted battle with Xia Jun?

This action of the Liao people made An Yi confused for a while, according to their previous nine offensive postures, An Yi and Zeng Ziren had their backs to the Chengdu Mansion behind them, and he Yelu Xiuke took more than 10,000 people to die here, and they may not be able to step through the first line of heaven and half a step.

Pei Zhenfeng on the side was also puzzled,

"Did Yelu Xiuke also think that these attacks were too ugly? So he thinks that the Liao people are a little tired from fighting for days, so they ordered to rest in place and adjust their morale before fighting? ”

An Yi didn't answer, and he didn't know what to say, but soon Zeng Ziren's small group of people helped An Yi give Pei Zhenfeng an answer.

Zeng Ziren, who had already been slapped by sycophants and didn't know how many catties and taels he had, decided to take advantage of the unstable formation of the Liao army to attack him!

At the sound of an order, more than 300 cavalrymen armed with sabers, under the leadership of Fu Jiang, spread their horses' hooves, rushed out of the valley like sharp arrows in the dark night, and headed towards the camp of the Liao.

however

I thought I could get a big deal to pay for it, but I was overturned by the Liao people.

The cavalry on the periphery of the camp, seeing this small army of the Xia army rushing out, raised their sabers fearlessly, turned their horses' heads and followed them.

After a round of swords, swords, and flesh and blood, all the corpses left on the ground were the corpses of Xia Jun, but there was not even a single Liao person!

Immediately, the cavalry who rushed to support them directly surrounded Fu Gang as if they were making dumplings, and let them rush left and right, but they couldn't shake the "dumpling skin" in the slightest.

soon

These more than 300 cavalry, in just a few rounds of confrontation, have fallen in a pool of blood one after another, a sneak attack full of expectations, so by the Liao people into a hopeless breakthrough battle,

Fu Jiang, who had more than ten knife wounds, was not spared, and was split in half by a saber raised high by a Liao cavalryman, even with people and horses!

subsequently

After killing all the more than 300 horses in Long'an Mansion, the cavalry gathered from all over the place dispersed tacitly and returned to their original posts, as if nothing had happened, leaving only the corpses of the Xia army all over the ground and a few old horses screaming in the sky.

"Look! This is the real Liao army, and it is all a play played by Yelu Xiuke for us during the day! ”

An Yi saw all this in his eyes and sighed,

But what does this Jerushhu mean? Whether he is showing weakness or hiding his strength, hasn't he been able to take a step forward so far? What he needs most now is time.

Never mind!

An Yi stared at the tent with the tiger's head banner again,

Anyway, he stared at him to death, so as not to respond to all changes!

Day 3

Chengdu

South Gate of the city

The regimental training camp Suzaku Battalion station

After Jiang Shang received the order letter from the garrison office Yajiang Ruyue, he brought all the more than 6,000 people of the regimental training camp to Chengdu a few days in advance, plus Jiang Yun's Chinese military camp of nearly 10,000 people, stationed in the direction of the four city gates in Chengdu.

Jiang Yun took the White Tiger Battalion to garrison the West Gate, Jin Mingyin led the Xuanwu Battalion to garrison the East Gate, Jiang Shang himself took the Qinglong Battalion to garrison the North Gate, and finally the South Gate, several people discussed for a long time, and finally let Jiang Tianhao garrison,

Jiang Ruyue felt that among the four gates, only the West Gate and the North Gate were under relatively large pressure, because according to common sense, the Liao army could only choose one or two directions to attack when they were in the city, and the other directions were just feints to attack and disturb, and the most likely to be attacked fiercely were the west and north gates.

Relatively speaking, the least defensive pressure is the south gate, so it is not possible that this Yelu Xiu can go around the city for a week to attack the farthest south gate, right?

Therefore, the garrison at the south gate was also the least, and only more than 900 people were given to Jiang Tianhao.

However, Jiang Tianhao didn't seem to take it lightly because his defensive task was the lightest and the least number of people, he specially borrowed a set of chain mail from his father's regimental training camp and hung it on his body, and then asked Jin Mingyin to ask for a short crossbow and a sword tied around his waist, and he patrolled the city defense with two personal soldiers every day, and frequently sent sentry horses to investigate the situation outside the city.

It's just that

According to the past, it was almost noon, and the sentry sent out in the morning should have returned, but there was no sign of anyone until now.

"Ginger ......... Eh, General Jiang! ”

A young man who was quite tall, but still had a little childishness and cyan on his face, and was dressed like a lieutenant, saw Jiang Tianhao coming over, and hurriedly leaned over and gave a military salute.

This is Jiang Tianhao's original playmate Huzi in Jiangning Village, this young man who has just grown up is the same as Jiang Tianhao, and he also has the heroic dream of being a general, I heard that Jiang Tianhao came to Chengdu, so he followed from Jiangning Village.

Jiang Tianhao, who was temporarily put in office, was short of manpower, so he appointed him to be the missing son of the general flag of the sentry horse.

"What? Doesn't it make the general feel embarrassed? ”

Jiang Tianhao was a little dissatisfied with his stumbling appearance,

"No, General Jiang! It's something to report next! ”

Huzi hurriedly clarified, then diverted the topic, and then reported: "General, none of the sentry horses we sent out in the morning have not come back until now. ”

"None of the seven have come back?"

Jiang Tianhao felt that something was wrong,

Huzi looked at him and nodded, and responded, "That's right, do we want to send some more out now?" ”

The first time he really faced the battlefield, he encountered a problem, which made this fledgling young man still a little flustered in his heart, and he had been simulating this father Jiang Shang and master Jiang Ruyue in his mind, if they encountered such a problem, how would they deal with it?

Jiang Tianhao paced back and forth on the city wall, his brows furrowed,

"That's it!"

He gritted his teeth, seemed to have made a very bold decision, and instructed Huzi: "Don't send any more people, you can quickly go to your father now........ Find a regimental training envoy and tell him that there is an enemy situation at the south gate! ”

"Hostile?"

Huzi listened to him and nodded his head in front of him, and after listening to the last sentence, he directly grew his mouth,

He looked at the calm and calm waves outside the city, and a few wild ducks quacked and flew by, where did the enemy come from? This is a big sin to lie about the military situation!

Jiang Tianhao urged impatiently: "If you want to go, you will go!" Hurry up! As I said, not a word is missing, go quickly! ”

"Yes, yes!"

Huzi, who was puzzled, still followed his instructions, hurriedly ran down the city to find a fast horse, and ran to Jiang Shang at the north gate.

subsequently

Jiang Tianhao shouted an order to the defenders in the city: "All the people in the city, now go to the outside of the city to line up!" All of them! Fast! ”

The sergeants stationed on the city wall looked at each other one by one, you look at me, I look at you, they all wondered if their ears had heard it wrong, and went to line up outside the city?

"Will ..... General, Jiang Junshi has instructed that he is not allowed to go out of the city. ”

A sergeant beside him kindly reminded Jiang Tianhao,

"Boom!"

Jiang Tianhao was also silent, pulled out the saber on his waist with his face, held it in his hand, and let Leng Sensen's blade reflect on everyone's face, but his childish face was murderous, and he said loudly again:

"I'll be clear again! All of them! Immediately! Downtown! Array! Otherwise, military law engages! ”

apparently

Or is this murderous cold mang more convincing, all the soldiers in the city, according to Jiang Tianhao, only the big flag is planted on the battlements, and the other men and horses are all lined up outside the south gate.

Although he only has more than 900 people in his hands, the city gate of Chengdu is not as grand and tall as Wang Jing's, and it is still very troublesome for some people to line up in a line.

Jiang Tianhao stood expressionlessly in front of the formation, like a statue, motionless, quietly staring at the equally silent distant skyline.

"Hey! What do you mean by our little general? ”

"I don't know, I haven't heard of an enemy attack?"

"My brother was a personal soldier for the regimental training envoy, and he told me that the Liao people had to go through the first line before they returned to us!"

"So what are we nervous about?"

"I don't know!"

In the neat military formation behind him, there were still a few puzzled soldiers, pulling the corners of their mouths without a trace, discussing,

Soon, though

Yelu Xiuko's cavalry clearly told them what Jiang Tianhao was nervous about!

"Boom, boom!"

Distance

A tiger-headed banner hunting in the wind is getting bigger and bigger in the eyes of the defenders of the Suzaku Battalion,

Then there was a vast cavalry array that almost covered the boundary between heaven and earth, all of which were tall Khitans with eagle tail armor, under the baptism of the sun, like a silver-white river, with a soaring killing intent swept towards the south gate of Chengdu,

The sound of drums and trumpets resounded in the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth,

The soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Battalion could feel the slight trembling of the earth by the rumbling horseshoe on every foot, and the full moon saber shining with dazzling light shook each of their eyes with fear and fear.

Rao is Jiang Tianhao, who was standing in front of the military formation and standing with his hands in his hands, was already so shocked that he raised his heart to his throat, and his violently beating heart filled every vein with huge pressure, as if he was about to burst out, and the famous little prince in his eyes was raising his sword high and attacking him..............
