Chapter 364: Abandoning the City
Once the first fortress in the northwest, turned into a purgatory on earth, at this time there is no peace and solemnity in the city, there is killing everywhere, the people flee like headless flies, they have weapons in their hands and cut people when they see people, the Liao soldiers are also crazy, they can't tell who is the companion, who is the enemy, in short, whoever wants to rush to their own defense area will be killed. When the Dingguo army rushed into the northern city, almost no resistance, when entering the second street of the city, Zhao Yougong followed Yu Lai and led Xiao Zhiyun and others to the general's mansion, while Han Shizhong, Yang Zaixing, Yue Fei and Wu Liang divided their troops and attacked the east and west cities.
The attack speed of the Dingguo army was too fast, and when the Liao soldiers in the other defense areas learned the news that the northern city wall had been broken and the defenders were all annihilated, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei had already attacked the eastern city. He Tengjiao, the commander of the infantry battalion, has been carefully following the general Yelusha and conscientiously stationed on the east city wall. Although the possibility of the Han people attacking the East City Gate is very small, He Tengjiao did not dare to relax at all, and the battle could not be sloppy, but what He Tengjiao never expected was that the East City Gate was safe and sound, but he inexplicably got the news that the Dingguo Army broke through the North City Gate and the Daliao warriors defending the city were wiped out. After getting the news, the shock in his heart can be imagined, He Tengjiao panicked, and even scared, how did the Han people do it, they broke through the north city gate so easily, and the more than 8,000 Liao warriors on the north city wall are decorations?
He Tengjiao was already panicking and scared, not to mention the soldiers under him, He Tengjiao knew that he had to withdraw, so with his current morale, what could he do to resist the Han people with a rainbow of morale? However, there was no general order from the General's Mansion, and General Su Kesha and General Xun Ying did not issue an order, and He Tengjiao really didn't have the courage to withdraw his troops privately. The Han people have entered the city, and it has become pointless to defend the city walls. There is no choice. More than 4,000 Liao soldiers under He Tengjiao withdrew from the city wall. Plans to form several lines of defense on the streets of Dongcheng, but what makes He Tengjiao depressed is that the Liao soldiers have just withdrawn from the city wall, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army who are like wolves and tigers have been killed, and a black-armored young general in front of him is holding a red tasseled spear. Before they could organize the formation, the Da Liao warriors were immediately attacked.
He Tengjiao's face was as white as a dead man, the Han people came too fast, didn't he understand that the Daliao warriors in Beicheng were all dead? In fact, He Tengjiao's angry whining words are really right, the chaos in Wuzhou City started from Beicheng, and now there are many chaotic people in Beicheng, and some small groups of Liao soldiers have also been scattered, where can they stop most of the people of the Dingguo Army? He Tengjiao is also a brave person, he knows that he has been entangled, and it is too late to retreat to organize the formation, so he made a quick decision. "Spread out." Lead the Han dog into the alley. ”
Since the beginning of the confrontation, Yue Fei has been eyeing He Tengjiao, seeing that he commands Ruoding, quite prestigious, Yue Fei snorted coldly, pulled the horse and rushed over with a gun, Yue Fei's crotch is a good horse in the Western Regions, rushing up with a fierce speed, He Tengjiao clenched the handle of the gun, looked at the two legs in front of the war horse, and suddenly lowered his body and knocked it down fiercely. As long as this Han general has no war horse, he will not have such a big advantage, He Tengjiao thought well, but when the spear swept down, the war horse suddenly jumped and dodged it. Yue Fei was very good at riding, shook the reins of the horse, and immediately turned the horse's head, this time He Tengjiao had no opportunity to be opportunistic, he could only resist hard, he never thought that Yue Fei did not think about it, he had a weak spear, and saw that He Tengjiao pulled the gun to block, and then pulled out the cavalry knife on the horseback with his left hand and stabbed it fiercely. It was too close, and there was the advantage of a war horse, He Tengjiao didn't react, his chest was directly pierced by the cavalry knife, and the powerful impact dragged He Tengjiao's body far away, and the blade of the knife rushed out more than two feet from behind He Tengjiao, that is, Yue Fei had great strength, otherwise he really couldn't support He Tengjiao's weight.
Yue Fei can stab He Tengjiao to death at once, it is completely to take advantage of the cavalry knife, the riding knife of the Dingguo Army is improved from the Tang knife, the arc of the knife body is very small, the whole field is three feet and two inches, the thickness is not bad, taking into account the stabbing and armor piercing, there is a knife ring at the handle, it is more comfortable to hold the knife, even if the arm strength is small, it is not easy to get rid of it.
Drawing a knife to shake He Tengjiao's body away, Yue Fei rode a knife in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, and roared with a cold and arrogant face, "The enemy general is dead, kill!" ”
Originally, the morale of the Liao soldiers became a problem, but now He Tengjiao was killed again, and suddenly the Liao soldiers were defeated, and those who were killed had no power to fight back. Going to Nancheng may be the only hope, there are still General Su Kesha and more than 10,000 Liao warriors, they will definitely be able to resist the Han Chinese.
In just a quarter of an hour, the Liao soldiers in Dongcheng fled in a hurry after leaving more than 2,000 corpses, this time Han Shizhong was not in a hurry to make a move, he was secretly observing Yue Fei's actions, this way down, Han Shizhong also admired the vision of King Zhao Xiaojun a little, His Royal Highness was not wrong at all, this Yue Pengju is really a rare handsome talent. When to fight bravely to kill the enemy, when to dispatch in the center, Yue Fei did just right, but now it is still a little frizzy, given time, the temperament can be used if you hone it again.
Different from the situation in Dongcheng, Yang Zaixing and others really took a lot of effort when they attacked Xicheng, where Xun Ying's generals Sheng Shicai, Lu Xiye, and Wu Lesa led more than 6,000 people to garrison, plus Xun Ying personally dispatched in the rear, and the Dingguo army did not know much about the terrain in the city, and they both suffered a secret loss when they charged. couldn't attack for a long time, as soon as Gao Chong's temper came up, he actually led people to tear down a courtyard wall and rushed to Xun Ying's rear from the left side, Xun Ying was defenseless and was poked to death by Gao Chong with a shot. After Xun Ying's death, the Liao soldiers panicked, and Yang Zaixing seized the opportunity and broke through from the front. Originally, the Liao soldiers were to see how to resist, once they failed, they could no longer recover, under the first battle, Lu Xiye and Sheng Shicai were killed by the Dingguo army, and only Wu Lesa fled back to the south with injuries.
At the end of the Yin period, after nearly two hours of fighting, the Dingguo army occupied three-quarters of Wuzhou after paying more than 1,000 casualties. Looking at the Liao soldiers with panicked faces, Yelusha sighed helplessly, this battle can't be fought, and if it continues, more than 10,000 Liao warriors will have to be buried here. In the past, the Da Liao warriors were proud, because in front of the Da Liao soldiers, the Han people were like sheep, but this time the Da Liao was beaten by the Han people and had no power to fight back.
Jerusha was distressed, in just two hours. Xun Ying, Lu Xiye, Sheng Shicai, and He Tengjiao were killed. Originally, Wuzhou City was like a cloud. Now it's the case.
"Su Kesha, give the order to go down, open the south gate, the whole army abandon Wuzhou City, withdraw from the south gate, turn to the north, and retreat to Pinglu City as quickly as possible."
Jerusha had no other choice, and the Great Liao warriors could only go north. The east side was flooded by the Ash River. Reinforcements from Marshal Yelu could not arrive, and it was also impossible for the people in Wuzhou City to retreat east to Shuozhou. Dozens of miles from Wuzhou to Shuozhou, it is said that it is not close, it is said that it is not far, and Yelusha is most worried now that the Han people are unwilling to leave lightly.
Give up Wuzhou? Su Kesha was shocked in her heart, and almost cried, "General, no, if you lose Wuzhou, the entire southwest of Shuozhou will not be protected." And without Wuzhou, the line of the Great Wall has nothing to rely on. But the Han people attacked Xijing whenever they wanted. No, the heavy city of Xijing, which was established by Da Liao for a hundred years, can't be buried in our hands, in that case, won't we become sinners of Da Liao? General, give the last general another chance, the last general will lead the troops back, and he will definitely be able to drive the Han people out of the city. ”
Su Kesha's feelings are sincere, there are many Liao soldiers who have silently left tears, Wuzhou City has been built by several generations, once Wuzhou has been safe and sound after more than 100 battles, large and small, but now it is buried in the hands of their generation. Shame, complete shame, but these Liao soldiers can only sigh helplessly, because it is not that they are not heroic, the city of Wuzhou is broken, and more than 30,000 Liao warriors have suffered more than 20,000 casualties in two hours, and they don't know how to defeat after fighting.
Stretching out his hand to support Su Kesha's shoulder, Yelu Sha shook his head vigorously, "Su Kesha, don't fight, the Daliao warriors have died enough, do you have to let my tens of thousands of warriors be buried in Wuzhou?" Dashuai is blocked by the big water of the Gray River, even if it takes three days to make a detour, you still have to fight, what to fight? ”
yes, what to fight? There was no morale, the baggage was robbed, and even the only city walls that could be relied on were useless. Do you really want to retreat? After all, I am unwilling in my heart, this is Wuzhou City, in addition to the capital, the strongest fortress in Daliao, Wuzhou is lost, what is lost is the pride of Daliao for more than 200 years, and the entrustment left by generations of people who have lost it. In the face of reality, Su Kesha cried, and the tears of this Khitan man in his thirties were slowly falling, but he forced himself not to cry, but he just trembled and bowed his head and said, "General"
"Do what you order, withdraw, all withdraw, as long as the life of the Daliao warriors is still there, there is hope, as long as there are people, we can still recapture Wuzhou City, but if we die, we don't even have a chance to take revenge."
Looking at the east, Yerusha didn't know what the marshal was doing, if there was a point of hope, he would defend a city gate, but he knew deeply that there was a big water barrier, and it was impossible for the marshal to come over in a short time.
Everyone knows that Yelusha is a good heart, and it is a good thing for the Daliao warriors to make an order to withdraw the troops, but it is not a good thing for Yelusha, because to do so is to take all the blame for the destruction of Wuzhou City on himself, Wuzhou is too important, and if he loses Wuzhou City, Shangjing will definitely blame. Taking a deep look at Yelusha, Su Kesha sighed, turned around and left the city gate, and not long after, all the Liao soldiers who fled back evacuated from the south gate. Jerushha had fought many battles, victories and defeats, but this one was the most profound, because he was so defeated that he had no chance to fight back from beginning to end.
In the general's mansion, a double dragon flag flew in the wind, and Zhao Yougong held the Qin Wang knife in his hand, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face. When the banner of the Dingguo Army was planted in the General's Mansion, Zhao Yougong knew that he could gain a firm foothold, and from now on, no one would be able to stop him, even the Liao and Jurchens.
In the breeze, Xiao Zhiyun silently looked at the man's back, on this day, she was no less shocked than others, the first fortified city that was praised by Da Liao as the pride of Xijing was actually breached, and the 40,000 Da Liao warriors became so vulnerable. This man is elegant and noble, he looks kind, when he is ruthless, he is more terrible than anyone else, and when everyone is still thinking about how he will seek to win the three states of Fuzhong, he has already set his eyes on Wuzhou City. Who would have thought that Gao Pet would lead people into the city dressed up as dead people? This dead man is so well pretended that no one will interrogate a dead man, let alone be stupid enough to examine a corpse. When the army fought, most of the dead soldiers were buried on the spot, or they listened to the words of the shaman and sent them to heaven with fire, which was the most common method in the Great Liao. Only Yelu Dashi, he cherishes his soldiers too much, even if he dies, he will transport the body back, find an opportunity to send it to his hometown, and if he doesn't know the place, he will also send it to Yong'an Mountain in Shangjing for burial, it is by virtue of this love for soldiers, his soldiers are like tigers and wolves, but this time, the rules he likes the most have harmed Wuzhou City. If you are someone else and bury the body on the spot, how can you give Gao Pet a chance to enter the city? (To be continued......)
