Previous Chapter: Chapter 468 See the Corpse Mountain Again Next Chapter: Chapter 470 The Khitans' Misjudgment
But the Khitans still fought to the death, after moving to Liaodong, in hundreds of battles with various tribes, large and small, they did not taste defeat, they did not want to fold their wings under the east high city, they wanted to regain their dignity, find victory, and avenge the loss of their leaders and companions. There are almost all the books that sugar hua wants to read.,It's much more stable and updated faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.。
Li Mao saw with his own eyes a wounded Khitan soldier gnawing on the hard stone wall root with his teeth, gnawing his mouth full of blood, and crying with tears in his eyes.
"The Khitans have exhausted their donkey skills, listen to my orders, and all the archers will rest in hiding."
Although the Khitan people do not have heavy siege equipment, bows and arrows are carried with them, they are natural good marksmen, the rain of arrows under the city is not much worse than that sent down from the city, but the city has been prepared, not only to transform and enhance the female wall body, but also to pierce countless straw people who confuse the enemy, these straw people are wearing battle armor, rough up close but very confusing from a distance, which to a certain extent interferes with the judgment of the Khitan people who are in chaos.
Rao is like this, the defenders of Donggao Town did not take advantage of the slightest advantage in the shooting, and the two sides were evenly matched, and both suffered heavy casualties.
Li Mao gave an order, and all the archers withdrew to the other side of the city wall to rest and replenish under the cover of the shield soldiers.
The Khitans, who had lost their leader and suffered repeated setbacks, had fallen into a state of madness, and the head of Yelushi, the son of Yerodron, was particularly hot, and under his leadership, the deranged soldiers rushed to the city wall without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and slammed into the wall like a huge wave.
The huge waves crashed on the hard iron city wall, shattering the jade and flying Qiong, and the corpses and bones piled up.
From a bird's-eye view from above, the small Donggao town has been framed with a black border of death at this moment, the brave Khitans crossed the moat and gathered under the city wall, they did not have a decent siege equipment, nor did they have a felt hat and a big shield, they bravely braved the dense rolling stones like raindrops, and worked together to build a simple human wall to climb upward, their tactics seemed primitive, but actually very effective, Advertisement
But now the problem is that the walls of Donggao City are too high, too thick and too strong, and the city defense system is too complete, and the siege methods they have tried their best to stack up are completely in vain, and some Khitan veterans exclaimed: The city walls of Donggao Town have surpassed Yingzhou, an important town in western Liaoning
Yingzhou, that is the largest Han-Ming city in the history of the Khitan Kazan Department, the height of the city wall of Yingzhou is a standard, is the limit of what they can bear, beyond the limit, they will be at a loss.
The mountain of corpses is growing, the sea of blood is spreading, death is not only favored by the Khitans who are besieging the city, the defenders of the city also suffered great sacrifices, the female soldiers who are responsible for transporting arrows and transporting the wounded see too many corpses, they begin to vomit, they begin to cry, they begin to have a woman's kind attack, and they begin to sabotage and oppose the war.
Zhu Jiu angrily brandished his leather whip, urging them to speed up their actions, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and not taking the opportunity to kill the opponent to the maximum is a betrayal of the dead comrades and the future.
"Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to go to the battlefield, this is the order of the commander, let me go, don't cry, move quickly"
Zhu Jiu was almost crazy, and once the resentment that had been stored in his chest for too long found a way to vent, he began to go crazy.
Lan'er, who was carrying a bundle of arrows on her back, was also whipped in Zhu Jiu's anger, and the whip was whipped on her back, hurting her heart, and she was aggrieved and shed tears. Zhu Jiu found that he had hit the wrong person, his hot head calmed down a little, he took the whip, and was about to appease a few words, Li Mao came over with a group of people, he walked briskly, and joked with the female soldiers easily, but the intention was to urge the women's army to speed up, carry the feather arrows, and put the wounded next, so as to ensure that the battle continued.
Zhu Jiu has admired Li Mao's five-body throw, the cunning and fierce Khitans have always been regarded by him as invincible, but they were played by him in applause, this battle is not over, but the overall situation has been decided, the Khitans are defeated, and there is no chance to turn the tables. The big victory is just around the corner, he is crazy, aren't the other officers and soldiers crazy, they are also crazy, how can he whip the female soldiers with a whip if he is not crazy, it is too late to please them.
To be able to maintain such a calm and calm attitude in front of Dali is not only the demeanor of a general, but also the bearing of winning the world.
A feather arrow grazed Li Mao's ear, and Qin Mo, who was guarding the frightening guard, bowed his waist.
In order to cooperate with Li Mao in this play, Qin Mo has been sparing no effort to spoil his body, so that the Khitan spies lurking around him believe that he has sunk due to the pain of losing his wife, and he has turned his face with Li Mao and become another person.
Wine hurts the body is a famous saying through the ages, and Qin Mo has a deep understanding here.
After experiencing this unprecedented tragic battle, he was already exhausted, so he didn't stand up, and knelt directly on the ground, Li Mao pulled him up and asked, "Can you still stand it?"
Qin Mo angrily broke away from Li Mao's hand and said with a dark face: "I'm not a paper paste. The words hurried to the commanding heights in the city.
Seeing that Lan'er was stunned for a moment, he asked Zhu Jiu to take her away, saying that the city was dangerous, Lan'er stubbornly straightened her chest and said, "Everyone hasn't left, why do you want me to go, do you know that I have been promoted to captain." The crowd laughed.
Li Mao grabbed her arm, pulled her aside, and shouted, "Hugh has to do it, go down." ”
Li Mao's hand was as hard as iron tongs, and his gesture was so strong that Lan'er's thin arm was about to break, and his words were both domineering and unreasonable, but Lan'er was in a good mood when she heard it, as if she had swallowed a bowl of cool honey water.
She got rid of Li Mao, snorted defiantly, and stepped up to the city wall with one hand on her waist and the other on the arrow bundle.
Wolf smoke suddenly ignited on the tallest stone tower in Donggao Town, and the smoke billowed straight into the sky, and the attackers and defenders looked at the sudden pillar of smoke in a daze, but their moods were very different.
The besieging Khitans calmed down, and after a tragic trumpet, the besiegers retreated like a tide.
The defenders were so excited that they seized the last opportunity to launch the last of the most ferocious attacks, shooting 20,000 arrows in one go, and it was like a gray snow falling under the walls.
A rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded from the southeast and northwest directions, and the cavalry of the newly formed second and third divisions all dispatched to launch a battle of clearing the field in a timely manner.
Yelushi, who had already withdrawn, saw Li Mao's cavalry dispatching, his eyes were bloody, and he ordered to turn around and engage in battle. The rest of the senior Khitan officers also think that this is their rare opportunity to turn the tables, the walls of Donggao Town are high, we have nothing to do with you, you come out to walk the horses, then I'm really sorry for you, I want to use your head to export bird anger.
Hundreds of Khitan cavalry immediately gathered, with Yelushi as the core, and launched a counterattack against the third division.
When the waves on the sea viciously hit the reef, the momentum is overwhelming, and when the Khitans are full of anger and vow to take revenge, the momentum is even more monstrous, but the ending of both is the same, broken.
The first frontal collision between the two cavalry, Yelushi was slashed off the horse, he pulled a beautiful knife flower, trembling hands have been as steady as Mount Tai, his eyes were aimed at the other party's three people, ready to come to a triple attack, but he didn't want the first blow was not successful, he was slashed off the horse.
Jerod did not die, but he became a prisoner.
The Khitan cavalry, which was improvised and had placed great hopes, collapsed in an instant.
Xi Wang Luo Ke was like a mad tiger, rushed into the Khitan defeated army, cut off people's heads on the left, and cut horses' buttocks on the right, and the frightened Khitans only ran, letting him kill without anyone resisting.
The two cavalry were like two hurricanes spinning a monstrous murderous aura around Donggaozhen, shattering the ring of death outside the city and sweeping it clean.
Li Mao judged the situation and ordered the four openings to be opened, and the infantry army was dispatched to clean up the battlefield, and the primary task of cleaning up the battlefield was to mend the knife.
Donggao Town also had to face a more fierce opponent, and now it had no energy to wait for the captives.
When the last Khitan horse disappeared from view, and after another cup of tea, Li Mao ordered to blow the horn and announce victory, inside and outside the city, above and below the city, men and women, all jubilant.
