Chapter 177 The mountain rain is coming, and the soldiers are coming to the city
The wolves outside the city roared in the sky, and the 50,000 Mongolian iron horsemen in the city shouted in unison, which shocked the defenders of the Liao State in Tiewu City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They are also good men who dare to fight tough battles, but they have never seen such a powerful army. If this Mongol army were an enemy, it would have been difficult for them to rise to the courage to fight.
After a short time, Yelu Dashi and the Yelu brothers arrived, and they brought more than 30,000 men and horses. These horses are all the headquarters army of the North Courtyard of Yelu Dashi, and as for the military power in the hands of Yelu Yali, it has been taken back by Emperor Tianzuo.
On the way here, he had already heard the howl of wolves and the overwhelming shouts of the Mongol warriors. Fortunately, it was far away, and there were not many frightened horses. But even so, there was a lot of commotion in the army.
Yeluding rode his horse through the city gate and said, "Uncle Wang, Lu Zheng is fighting with so many wolves, won't their war horses be frightened?" ”
Yelu Dashi said lightly: "Idiot, Arslen has fought a lot of battles on the grassland, and their wolves and war horses should have been familiar with it for a long time. ”
Yerodin touched the back of his head, smiled, and said, "Yes...... Right! That's the truth. ”
Yelu Yali next to him also spoke: "Uncle Wang, what about our war horses?" In the event of a fight and the wolves join the battle, our war horses will definitely be frightened. ”
Yelu Dashi nodded and said, "Let's discuss countermeasures when we meet Lu Zheng later!" ”
The three of them passed through the city gate and slowly entered Tiewu City with an army of 30,000.
The city is starting to get crowded. Fortunately, Yeluyali evacuated the inhabitants of the area in advance, and when the Mongol army moved in, all the inhabitants were transferred to other cities.
Yelu Yali evacuated the residents for two reasons, one was afraid that the Mongol army would have a conflict with the inhabitants here, and the other was simply to make room for space. When the Great Liao ruled the Mongolian tribes before, Emperor Tianzuo's attitude was relatively arrogant. Just like Helegui and a few of them who can speak Khitan dialect, their perception of Da Liao is not very good.
Fortunately, because the tribe was too small and remote before, Arsleng did not have much contact with Daliao. Otherwise, relying on Lu Zheng alone, it is estimated that it will be difficult to take into account the contradictions between the people in the army below and the residents of Daliao.
When Yelu Dashi and the others came to the place where the Mongolian army was assembled, the three of them and all the Great Liao troops behind them were shocked by the neat military appearance and killing momentum of the Mongolian army.
Yelu Dashi couldn't help but exclaim at that time: "This is the real Mongolian Iron Horse!" Lu Zheng and Arslen are really extraordinary! ”
Lu Zheng and Arslen saw Yelu Dashi coming, and rode the wolf together to meet him.
Lu Zheng rode a red lion, which was directly more than twice as tall as Yelu Dashi and the Yelu brothers who rode horses. Lu Zheng felt that it was too disrespectful to talk like this, so he gave Alslen a look, and the two jumped off the wolf's back together.
After several people met and talked, the mode of operation was determined. Wait for the army of Yan Wushu to attack first, and temporarily meet the battle in the way of defending the city.
Now although they know that Wanyan Wushu has brought 80,000 troops, and they also know that there are Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horses dispatched, but according to the speed at which Wanyan Wushu captured Yelu City before, they are definitely more than cavalry. And it is quite possible that there will be large siege weapons, and there are definitely not a few infantry and auxiliaries.
Previously, Yelu Dashi sent scouts to sentry to scout for information, but unfortunately, every time he approached the 100-mile range of the Wanyan Wushu army, he would be chased and killed by the opponent's scouts and a large number of sentry horses. Wanyan Wushu was too cautious, making it difficult for Yelu Dashi to find useful information.
And because Night Shadow was repeatedly chased and killed by the big boss, coupled with the anxiety in his heart, he didn't go to carefully investigate the specific situation of Yan Wushu's army.
After deliberating and deciding, Yelu Dashi led everyone to the top of the city and began to quietly wait for the arrival of the army of Wanyan Wushu.
Lu Zheng stood beside Yelu Dashi, looked into the distance, and said, "Uncle Dashi, where is the army in the Southern Courtyard?" Aren't they going to war this time? ”
Yelu Dashi waved his hand, and several of the generals and others who were in charge of defending the city around him retreated.
Lu Zheng also turned his head and signaled to Hasen, who also retreated into the distance with several Mongolian generals.
Yelu Dashi and Lu Zheng are by their side, and now only the Yelu brothers and Arslen are left.
Yelu Dashi was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at Yelu Yali again, and then said slowly: "The imperial brother listened to the words of the prime minister this time, and not only took back Yali's military power, but also personally took charge of the handsome seal. The people of the Southern Courtyard ...... Hehe...... It should come! ”
After listening to Yelu Dashi's words, Lu Zheng already understood. It seems that this time, I can't count on any people and horses in the Southern Courtyard, so I can only rely on my 50,000 iron horsemen and Yelu Dashi to keep warm.
If Tiewu City is lost this time, it is estimated that Yelu Dashi will not have any good results.
Lu Zheng had wandered around Tiewu City before, and he had probably taken a look at the city's defense weapons. Lu Zheng found that the Liao army's weapons for defending the city were far inferior to Dahua!
Lu Zheng originally planned to instruct the Liao army defending the city on what weapons to use, or how to place the catapults. But after thinking about it, I still didn't say anything. After all, this is a matter for the Liao army, and Lu Zheng is not qualified to command the Liao army.
If you go and talk to Yelu Dashi, of course, you can, but you are invisibly insulting Yelu Dashi's ability. Lu Zheng decided to take his 50,000 iron horses and stand in the position of his collaborator.
Time passed slowly in this atmosphere of impending war, during which Lu Zheng and the Red Lion searched the city, but did not find the whereabouts of the big boss and other assassins.
Near noon, on the distant horizon, a few scouts of the Jin Kingdom finally appeared. They rode around a few times before disappearing behind the horizon.
After only a short while, dense black dots appeared on the horizon, and these black dots gradually approached, like black waves, wave after wave, constantly advancing.
Lu Zheng's eyesight is excellent, and when the Jin army gradually approached, Lu Zheng had already seen the formation of the Jin army clearly. The men and horses at the front were all in black armor. The horses and people are tightly wrapped in heavy armor, this should be the legendary Iron Floating Massacre.
On both flanks of Tiefutu, there are light cavalry in leather armor, judging by their skillful horseback movements, as well as the leisurely appearance on horseback, this should be a crutched horse known for its riding archery and super maneuverability.
Looking back, Lu Zheng's expression couldn't help but become solemn. Behind the cavalry, there were actually black pressed infantry, all of whom were armed with large shields and spears, and their bodies were also heavily armoured. Behind these heavily armored soldiers were several neat phalanxes of archers.
Archers who do not wear armor behind them, but only coarse cotton clothes, should be auxiliaries and baggage soldiers. They drove cattle and horses, and pulled a lot of heavy-looking carts, which were supposed to transport siege weapons.
When the last group of soldiers in black leather armor who were protected by abducted horses in the middle appeared, Lu Zheng's heart trembled violently!
That's a crossbowman! Wanyan Wushu actually has crossbowmen, and it is a crossbow!
