The weather becomes gloomy as the moon is dark and windy, and the nights are naturally very cold as October approaches.

However, some people had just finished the night road and had some fever. The towers were brightly lit, and the people were terrified, but they were still beating drums to cheer them on.

Wu Yanzhi ordered people to shout and tell them to open the door and surrender, otherwise they would attack the city and slaughter it.

As a result, the people above the tower turned a deaf ear and did not open the gates. It's a small city, there is no moat, and the gate is wooden.

So Wu Yanzhi ordered Yang Siqiao to immediately attack the city. Seeing Yang Siqiao's order, ten heavy cavalrymen, holding gunpowder bags, rushed to the city gate.

These heavy cavalry were drawn from the Pingdi army. Under the training of Yang Siqiao, they are extremely brave.

Because Yang Siqiao said that if there is no order to retreat, even if you take a step back, you will be killed.

On the top of the tower, rolling logs, stones, and lighted dry wood were thrown down.

However, the heavy cavalry had already prepared, and they threw the small powder bag that had been lit to the gate of the city.

More than a dozen explosions sounded, and the wooden city gate had already been blown open.

"Rush in and kill all the adult men, and take all the women and children. Take valuable things with you, too! Yang Siqiao ordered.

As soon as the words fell, those cavalry who were eager to make meritorious contributions, the heavy cavalry opened the way, then the smoke was billowing and rushed to the city gate regardless of life and death......

……

Xincheng was the main gathering place for the families and belongings of the Khitan soldiers. According to prior information, there were about 20,000 people living inside the city and about 50,000 people living outside the city.

According to the strategy formulated in advance, these tens of thousands of women and children will all be taken away and sent to Hedong (Shanxi).

According to Wu Yanzhi's plan, this northern Hu is serious, and this phenomenon will be gradually changed in the future. Ethnic minorities will be relocated inward, and they will be sinicized. Of course, they must not be allowed to live in large groups, they must be dispersed.

After a night of fighting, the city was looted. Of course, Yang Siqiao's military order was very strict, and all property was handed over uniformly, and it was given to the generals according to 30%. This is also a huge income for them.

The news reported by the rangers that the main force of the Khitan was still far away from here, and the fastest main force of Youzhou would be four days away.

So Wu Yanzhi ordered his generals to take away all the Khitans in the vicinity.

It took just three days, and in addition to the fleeing Khitans and those killed, a total of more than 40,000 people were captured.

Wu Yanzhi listened to Yang Siqiao's report and nodded: "How far is the nearest Khitan main force?" ”

"It is reported that Sun Wanchu has led 30,000 main forces, day and night, and rushed back from Yingzhou! Half a day away! Yang Siqiao reported.

"Well, the time is just right, take these Khitans and hurry to Caijiayu! At the same time, order Zhang Jiujie to go out of Danzhou, and you will lead 4,000 cavalry to attack the main Khitan force besieging Youzhou! Wu Yanzhi ordered.

"Yes!" When Yang Siqiao heard this, he was very happy! This Cai Jiayu is an ambush war, and don't make more efforts yourself. Although the Khitan army besieging Youyou was not the main force led by Sun Wanrong, it was also a Khitan elite soldier. Being able to defeat it is also a big achievement.

So immediately click on 4000 elite soldiers to relieve the siege of Youzhou.

……

Ten days ago, Sun Wanrong sent Luo Wuquan and He Axiao as the vanguard, and just captured Yingzhou, slaughtered thousands of people, and looted countless property.

Four days ago, just as he was about to capture Yizhou, he suddenly got the news of the fall of Xincheng. He defeated Cao Renshi by himself, plundered property in more than a dozen states in Hebei, and was robbed by the Great Zhou army. Not only that, but the families of these Khitan elites must have also been arrested by them. How does this work?

"How many enemies are there?" Sun Wanrong asked.

"There are more than 10,000 cavalrymen, and they are the main force of Wu Yanzhi, the king of Donglai!"

"10,000 sneak attacks? Immediately ordered to return to the new city of the division and snatch our family back! Sun Wanrong said angrily.

Afterwards, he asked the people around him about this Wu Yanzhi.

"This Wu Yanzhi is also a powerful character! But if you meet my Sun Wanrong, you should be unlucky! He sneered inwardly.

He thought, you are only 10,000 cavalry, you must have taken advantage of my unpreparedness to sneak attack. Now with many small families, your march must be very slow, and it is impossible to return to the Flying Fox quickly. I may not be able to catch you, but it's no problem to take home your child!

Because of those old and weak women and children, the speed of a day's march is only twenty or thirty miles,

……

In less time, Cai Jiayu.

Wu Yanzhi and Li Quanyi led the army to ambush on the top of the mountain.

"Marshal Wu, these Khitan women and children are about to finish, how far is Sun Wanrong left?" Jiang Shipeng asked.

"Why is Secretary Jiang in a hurry? They will definitely come! I got the battle report this morning, and Sun Wanrong's forward is only 80 miles away from here. I guess he'll be there soon. Wu Yanzhi said with a smile.

Today's weather is good, the afternoon is sunny, and the sunshine of this early winter is very comfortable.

At the top of the mountain, gunpowder packets, gasoline and kerosene, wood, bundles of dry weeds, and other things were already ready.

At this moment, seeing that outside Caijiayu Pass, smoke and dust were billowing out, Sun Wanrong led tens of thousands of main troops to rush over!

But when they saw the flag waved, everyone lowered their heads and lay in ambush in the grass, and no one dared to raise their heads at will. The horse's mouth was filled with something to prevent the horse from neighing at will and waking up the enemy.

……

"Back to the Khan, there is Caijiayu ahead, and there may be some small families who have not gone out in the valley!" A general next to him reported.

Since the death of Li Jinzhong, he has become a khan, of course, this is his own seal, and he has not been recognized by Da Zhou. You must know that even the Turkic Khan has to be recognized by Da Zhou, even though he is not a friend of Da Zhou.

"Speed up the progress, the enemy's forwards may be about to retreat into the Flying Fox Pass! If it's too slow, this little one won't be able to get it back! Sun Wanrong was anxious.

When the striker heard the order, thousands of people slapped their horses and rushed towards the valley. In their opinion, Wu Yanzhi's troops were just robbing their families and belongings.

Because they are not the main army, it is impossible to fight any ambush at all. The main force of the Great Zhou was in Hebei, and would not take the rugged Hedong (Shanxi) line, where the transportation of grain and grass was too difficult, and it was not the main marching route since ancient times. The main attack route was in the Great Plain of Hebei, which was convenient for the cavalry to quickly maneuver and fight.

……

Wu Yanzhi looked at the enemy, finally entered Caijiayu, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, according to the original plan, after most of them enter the ambush circle, they will attack according to the order." ”

He said to the herald beside him.

The speed of this cavalry was of course fast, and after an hour, almost all of the 30,000 men entered Caijiayu.

Wu Yan is one of them, and he can attack! So he said to the herald next to him: "Immediately sound the drums and block the mouth at both ends!" Quickly throw down the gunpowder bag, wood, dry firewood, ......" please Baidu "throw the book network" Thank you for your support!
