Chapter 12: Rainy Day

Hearing that Kang Li Anding ran back to Yanjing with more than 100 personal soldiers, Yelu Dashi immediately called someone to invite him over.

In the Yazheng Hall of Yanjing Mansion, Kang Li sat on a chair steadily, he ran all the way, and drove for two days and two nights, and then returned to Yanjing, his lips were chapped.

After drinking three cups of tea in a row, Kang Li was relieved.

Seeing that Kang Li was out of breath, Yelu Dashi shouted: "Kang Li commands the army, tell me in detail about the loss of Anxi City!" This is about the safety of Yanjing, I want to know the truth! ”

"Okay! ...... day"

After Kang Li Anding explained in detail the loss of Anxi City, Yelu Dashi was taken aback.

"Are you sure that the enemy has such powerful firearms that they can smash a hole in the wall with a single shot? The female wall and the arrow tower were all destroyed in the blow! ”

Kang Li calmly shouted angrily, "Yes, I'm sure, otherwise do you think I would abandon the city so easily and run away?" ”

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, "You are the uncle of the Liao State, and you have a high and powerful position, even if you take refuge in the past, it is impossible to obtain a better status than now." That's why I entrust Anxi City to you. I just didn't think that the firearm would be so powerful that I couldn't hold it for even a day. You will be forced to abandon the city and flee! ”

Kang Li sighed calmly and said: "Have you never seen the scene of that day, the firearm fired, like the fireworks in the sky reflected the sky extraordinarily bright, my subordinates didn't dare to stay in the city at all, even the city head gave up, where can I hold on!" ”

When Yelu Dashi heard Kang Li's description, his brows furrowed, like Sichuan characters.

"If it's really like what you said, Yanjing is difficult to defend!"

Kang Li was silent for a long time, and finally didn't come up with a plan, so he could only say helplessly: "Dashuai should make plans as soon as possible!" ”

Jerodashi closed his eyes, thinking about what to do with the firearm.

After thinking about the incense for so long, Yelu Dashi finally opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since you can't defend it, then fight!" I decided to go out of the city and fight the enemy army! ”

Hearing Yelu Dashi say that he wanted to fight in the field, Kang Li was startled and said, "Dashuai, I said it." In addition to the firearms like the thunder of the Great Song Dynasty, they also have a firearm similar to a rocket, which still has an amazing range, and can hit our army in a hundred steps, and the rate of fire is not slow, our cavalry can't rush to them within fifty paces! ”

Yelu Dashi nodded, "I know." Don't worry, I won't act rashly. But whatever is good for fire is good for water. I'll strike on a rainy day, on three sides at the same time, so that he will be embarrassed! ”

Kang Li Anding heard Yelu Dashi's explanation, he thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense, and it could be said that it was the most beneficial to the Liao army.

He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's really possible, why didn't I think of it in the first place?" ”

Yelu Dashi soothed: "Your previous arrangement was not wrong, it's just that you and I didn't expect that the Yan army would have that kind of new firearm." Now that you know, you can deal with it! Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future! Kangli commanded the army, you should understand that once Yanjing is lost, without Yanjing's grain, grass and weapons, it will be difficult for us in Daliao to make a comeback. I decided to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack, and I could only leave 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Yanjing. After I leave the city, you close the four cities, and you must not open the gates of the city unless you see me with your own eyes! Did you hear that? ”

Kang Li stood up and shouted, "The last general respects the order! ”

"Okay, Yanjing City will leave it to you! I'll lead my troops out of the city and wait for the right time! Yelu Dashi shouted.

Beat drums and gather generals, in front of Yanjing civil and military officials. Yelu Dashi handed over the handsome seal of Yanjing to Kangli Anding, and ordered the whole city to obey Yu Kangli's order, Yelu Dashi personally led Yelu Guozhen, Yelu Guobao, Yan'er Weikang, Ye Qing Shilang, and Jin Fu Shilang out of the city with 40,000 soldiers and horses.

……

It was a rainy day in February.

This rain is not the next heavy rain will be clear, and the sun is shining.

Sometimes it drizzles, sometimes it stops. Either way, it was a wet and cloudy day. It's so uncomfortable!

Riding on horseback, Hua Rong wore a rain hat and said: "Palace Marshal, the Holy Lord has reminded us that the rainy weather is not conducive to our army's artillery and muskets, so be careful!" ”

When Lin Chong heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

In the past, the Liao State hated rainy days, because when it rained, the ground was slippery, which was not conducive to cavalry charges.

I didn't expect that it would be unfavorable to the army now.

Lin Chong nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." I will tell Qin Ming to lead the cavalry to wander around and be vigilant at all times. But General Hua, you don't have to worry too much. On this expedition, I also brought a lot of gadgets made by the saints. It's just time to test whether you can deal with the Liao army! ”

Hua Rong shuddered when he heard it and thought of the so-called "gadgets" he had seen in the army. Those are gadgets too! I don't know who came up with it in the first place, it's just too insidious!

"Lin Dianshuai is well prepared! In this way, the last general will be relieved! Hua Rong said.

Although Lin Chong made arrangements, Hua Rong still instructed his subordinates to keep the ammunition and guns, and not to use the ammunition when the war was about to start.

Yelu Dashi led the army to wander around the Yan army, and sent a few spies to keep an eye on the Yan army at all times, as long as it rained, they would pounce like wolves.

But God doesn't give Yelu Dashi face, the weather is gloomy, but it just doesn't rain.

Let Yelu Dashi be anxious.

Seeing that the Yan army had two days to kill Yanjing City.

If it doesn't rain again, Yelu Dashi is ready to grit his teeth and take the risk.

I spent the day anxiously, and when it was nightfall, it hadn't rained for three days.

Rain less than the size of sand wet Jerodashi's face.

Reaching out and touching the rain on his face,

Yelu Dashi laughed wildly and shouted loudly: "Heaven will not die my great Liao, heaven will not die my great Liao......"

Seeing that the boss had been laughing wildly, the general couldn't help but persuade: "Boss, shouldn't we take the opportunity to attack?" ”

Yelu Dashi came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Guozhen, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the enemy's right flank!" National Treasure: You lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the enemy's left side. I personally led an army of 20,000 straight to the enemy's central army. Attack from three sides, you must defeat the enemy army and defend Yanjing! ”

Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao also know that this battle is related to the safety of Yanjing, unlike others, their royal family is closely related to the honor and disgrace of Daliao.

They shouted: "The last general will respect the order, and he will fight to the death to kill the enemy and repay the country with death!" ”

They roared and led their horses and horses towards the enemy.

The sound of horses' hooves was like dust in the sky, and the spies who were wandering around saw it, and Pegasus hurried back to report to Lin Chong.

"Report, there are enemy troops coming from the left, about 10,000 soldiers and horses!"

"Report, there are enemy troops coming from the right side, about 10,000 soldiers and horses!"

"Report, there are enemy troops rushing to the middle to kill, about 10,000 soldiers and horses! The little one saw the enemy's handsome flag! ”

Hearing the spies' return, Lin Chong, who was riding on horseback, had a chill in his eyes.

Damn it! No wonder these guys haven't done anything, they are waiting for this opportunity. Fortunately, the marshal had thought about this problem a long time ago, and the artillery battalion had been prepared for a long time.

Lin Chong shouted coldly: "Three-way attack, this is to entrap us!" Summoned Qin Ming and ordered him to lead the flying leopard to ride to stop the soldiers and horses on the left. Let a soldier come over, I'll ask him! ”

Lin Chong looked at Hua Rong and shouted, "General Hua, can your musketeers still fight at this time?" ”

Hua Rong didn't want to shout: "Don't worry, the palace marshal will be prepared early in the morning, and he will definitely not make a mistake!" ”

Lin Chong shouted: "Okay, then I'll ask General Hua on the right side." Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu! ”

"The last general!" Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu shouted in unison.

Lin Chong shouted: "I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and you must protect General Hua and the musket battalion." If they have any problems, I will ask you! ”

The implication is that once Hua Rong's musket battalion does not work, you will lead your troops to resist it.

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu also knew Hua Rong's identity, and hurriedly shouted: "The last general respects the order!" ”

After Lin Chong finished ordering, he turned to Yan Shun and shouted to them, "We will go and meet this Yelu Dashi in person!" ”

The Yan army has always paid close attention to training, and with the transmission of military orders. The Yan army on the march stopped when he heard the order and quickly adjusted.

Hua Rong, who was in charge of defending on the right side, heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves in the distance, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the dust flying in the sky.

Hua Rong immediately shouted loudly: "The whole army is on alert, don't panic, keep the formation." Musketeers are ready to drugged, listen to my orders! ”

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu helped push the carriage to the periphery to block the impact of the cavalry. The musketeers, trained for many years, quickly took out the medicine bag from the grain pile, put it in the satchel, took out the paper shell ammunition, and loaded it.

In this era, there is no way to make a copper-shelled bullet without a primer.

In order to prevent the ammunition from getting wet in rainy days, Shi Jin could only use the most earthy method. It is usually to wrap the gunpowder and stuff it into the rice.

Rice easily absorbs water vapor and has the effect of preventing moisture.

In wartime, too, it is easy. Directly next to a musketeer, an ordinary soldier with an umbrella to protect the musket from moisture. As for whether people will get wet or not, it doesn't matter.

Yelu Guozhen led the cavalry to run closer, and when they saw that the enemy saw so many cavalry on their side, they were not afraid, let alone flee, but quickly formed a defensive formation.

Yelu Guozhen frowned, secretly worried in his heart.

Could it be that their firearms are not afraid of water?

Yelu Guozhen, who couldn't figure it out, didn't bother to think about it anymore, and rushed over, so it would be clear.

As for not being able to rush through. Then you don't have to think about it anymore.

Yelu Guozhen blew the trumpet, and the rapid and high sound of the trumpet spread throughout the battlefield.

The Khitan cavalry, which had always liked to line up in a conical formation, and the Khitan cavalry, which had attacked the enemy, divided into a loose formation this time and slaughtered the musket battalion all over the mountains.

In their daily training, the musket battalion coped with a variety of situations. I did a lot of targeted training, including this situation.

When you see your opponents scattered, surround yourself.

Hua Rong shouted loudly: "Line up in a horizontal long snake formation, and after hearing my order, shoot freely!" Shoot as many pieces as you can, shoot as fast as I can! ”

The musketeers, who were standing in the two rows behind, immediately ran to the sides, and as soon as they reached the position, they immediately raised their muskets and aimed.

The Khitan warriors rode on horseback, they pulled the strings and arrows, pointed them at the sky, and as soon as they ran into range, they would give the enemy a merciless blow with their bows and arrows.

The Khitan cavalry visually measured the distance, and it was only a hundred steps away!

When they were calculating how far they could loosen the bowstring, they saw the enemy rushing into range, and Hua Rong roared angrily, "Fire!" ”

The 3,000 musketeers immediately pulled their wrenches, and the 3,000 bullets formed an almost straight line of iron and swept over, shooting at the Khitan cavalry with a sharp whistling sound.

The Khitan cavalry wanted to run close again and when they were shooting, the Yan army musketeers had already counterattacked.

It's just that there seems to be a black shadow flying in, and many Khitan cavalry can't see it clearly at all, and they suddenly feel as if their bodies have been hit by something.

Even though they were guarded by leather armor, the high-speed impact force allowed the bullet to easily enter their bodies.

The impact caused them to fall backwards screaming.

The advancing Khitan cavalry suddenly fell to the ground like dumplings, and the speed of their advance slowed down a little.

There were also many war horses that were pierced by bullets, with blood sprayed from their necks, and plunged into the ground and lifted the soldiers off their horses.

After firing a shot, the musketeers hurriedly took the paper shells from their satchels and loaded them with ammunition.

At this time, those surviving Khitan cavalry were still rushing forward with the inertia of their war horses.

There were only sixty steps left between the two armies, and the Khitan cavalry hurriedly loosened the strings, and the sharp arrows rushed down from the sky, and with the strong inertia of falling from a high altitude, the sharp arrows easily shot through the musketeers who were wearing only simple leather armor vests.

However, the Khitan cavalry formation was too scattered, and under the musket fire just now, many people were killed and wounded.

In this round of shooting, seven or eight people were killed and about twenty musketeers were wounded.

Seeing this wave of arrows raining down, the other party had more than a dozen or twenty casualties, Yelu Guozhen roared, "Kill them quickly and cut off their heads with a knife!" ”

After roaring, he first knocked with his feet and controlled the war horse to continue forward.

Seeing that the enemy army continued to kill, Hua Rong immediately shouted: "Keep shooting, don't stop!" ”

Seeing that he was about to kill the enemy thirty paces, as long as he entered it, it would be the world of cavalry.

Yelu Guozhen raised his saber and showed a cruel smile!
