Weizhou City

Zhou Gong, the commander of the Jingyuan Marshal Division, hung his right arm and was patrolling the city during the gap in the battle to check the attrition of the battle, the loss of equipment, and most importantly, to boost the morale of the defenders. After the fierce battle, the soldiers were very tired, and the blood stains on the women's wall were still clearly visible. There was even the corpse of a Liao soldier between the tooth stacks, and the two soldiers worked together to push it down the city.

And overlooking the city, the scene that catches your eye can be described as "miserable". It's just that under the root of the wall, the corpses piled up are half a foot high, and there are people stuck on the ladder until they die, and they don't touch the sky or the ground......

The moat has long been filled, of course, not the corpses, and further outward, the Liao soldiers who were killed by the defenders' strong bows and crossbows abound, and if you look closely, you will find that there are almost no of these corpses facing away from the city of Weizhou. That is, they all died in the path of the charge.

The miserable thing is the person who was directly hit by the eight-bull crossbow. The official name of the eight-ox crossbow is called the "three-bow bed crossbow", but shè thousand steps, that thing was originally used to nail the city wall. "Gao shè cannon" is already amazing, but the situation is down? The arrow used by the Eight Ox Crossbow should actually be called a "gun", and the soldier it hit was nailed to the ground, and his hands were still tightly holding the "arrow" shaft, and he did not pull it out until he died......

In addition to the corpses all over the ground, there are also destroyed instruments, all of which are countless. At a glance, it is clear that the Liao army has suffered a major setback, and Weizhou is still standing.

After just one day of fighting, the Liao army lost more than 1,000 people. But the defenders of Weizhou were not easy, don't look at the Liao army when they came to the city was a water of cavalry, but they did not use cavalry as infantry to attack the city, and that night, their infantry and various equipment were already in place.

The Western Army once fought side by side with the Liao Army, and in their impression, the cavalry of the Liao Army was undoubtedly brave and good at fighting, but the infantry army was not worth mentioning. But after this day, the soldiers of Weizhou found that the Liao army had "inherited" the mantle of the Xia army, and the infantry army was quite disciplined in capturing the city.

Because the Liao army concentrated on attacking one side, when the battle was fierce, the enemy climbed everywhere on the city. The defenders simply leaned against the human wall to push down the enemy who went uptown. Although the Liao army paid a heavy price for this, the Zhou commander knew in his heart that this was just an advantage in the early stage, and if it continued like this, the Liao army would be outnumbered, and his own troops would be limited and his materials would be limited, and there would be a time when he would not be able to support it. Hopefully, reinforcements will arrive before then.

Looking at the Liao army camp from afar, Zhou Gong said: "The Liao people will not fight again today, seize the time to supplement and rectify, and there will be a fierce battle tomorrow!" ”

"The commanders, with the city defense of Weizhou, like the Liao army's strong attack, it is not a problem to defend three or five rì. But after three or five years, if reinforcements don't come......" a civilian official raised concern.

"Don't worry, it'll arrive." Zhou Gong affirmed. "Even if the Xuanfu Division does not send troops, the young marshal will return to the division to rescue. It's right for us to just hold on to the city. ”

Zhou Zhizhou guessed correctly, at the moment when he spoke, from south to north, the troops reinforcing him were advancing rapidly. Xu Hong, Xu Cheng's uncle and nephew have been paying attention to the movements of the Liao army, and the day after Yelu Tiege's soldiers arrived in Weizhou, Xu Chengcheng received the news. Without saying a word, the troops were withdrawn on the same day! The back road can't be copied!

After Zhang Xian nodded to Liu Guangshi, he rushed back to Qinzhou non-stop that day, and early the next morning, the Hu'er army rushed north to help. It seems that it can be expected that in the Jingyuan Jinglu pacification area, a big war with hundreds of thousands of troops invested by both sides is about to break out!

On the sixth day of October, the Qin Feng reinforcements led by Zhang Xian had passed through Weizhou, where the Jingyuan Jinglu Pacification Division was located, and entered the Zhenrong army. Further north, past the Wyad Army, we will reach Weizhou.

"Dashuai, the front is Kaiyuan Fort, do you want to rest ......?"

Zhang Xian said categorically: "No! It's never too late to rest in Huaide! The main force of Jingyuan is not there, if I, Qin Fengjun, don't care, I'm afraid of making a big mess! Liu Guangshi didn't pay attention to him, but after the Taiwei came back, it was not easy to explain. ”

Yang Zaixing, Du Feihu and the other generals heard this, but they had no objections, but Yang Zaixing then said: "This group of birds." ”

Du Feihu turned his face sideways: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Yang Zaixing stared at him, but he didn't answer, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious. Du Feihu urged the horse to walk for a while, and also said: "The Jurchen personnel are gone, and now they are torn apart with the Khitans, this is not the way of the Taiwei." ”

Zhang Xian listened to the two of them muttering, although they were Qin Fengshuai, these two were veterans in the army, and it was not easy to talk about it seriously, so he only said: "It's useless to talk about it now, it's important to solve the crisis of Jingyuan first." ”

Yang Zaixing sneered, and said to himself: "When the Taiwei is here, who dares to make a mistake?" So what Mr. Xiao passed by Qinzhou several times, we all saw it, well-behaved and polite. Now it's good, turn the dough over, and start moving! If the captain is there, how dare he? ”

Du Feihu immediately took over the conversation: "That's right!" Look at it, how long has Liu Xuanfu been in office? It made Shaanxi smoky and miasma, and I don't know what the imperial court thinks. ”

Zhang Xian heard what he said, and then said: "The Khitan people have a very complicated reason for this incident. In the final analysis, the imperial court abandoned the strategy set by the Taiwei at the beginning. So the Khitans tore their faces. ”

"Still not a meant? If the captain is here, Shaanxi will be fine, and as soon as Liu Guangshi messes around, Shaanxi will be in chaos. Yang Zaixing said.

What Zhang Xian meant was actually saying that the problem was in the policy, and it was not something that one person could control. Even if Taiwei Xu is still in his position, the Khitans should still make trouble. However, he did not refute Yang Zaixing. Looking around, the people here are gradually booming, and there is a village on the river on the left, and the cooking smoke is curling, and it is the time for cooking.

There were also pedestrians in twos and threes, walking southward, and when they saw the officers and soldiers, they all flashed to the side to avoid, and they always watched, looking a little excited. General Qin Fengzhu didn't care at first, he just wanted the support of the people, but after walking for a while, he saw more and more pedestrians, and it was no longer a matter of threes and threes, but dragging his family with his mouth! Han drove the car, and there were two old parents, mother-in-law dolls, and even some soft luggage sitting in the car!

Besides, I think these people don't go out alone, but in a group! This look, like this, fleeing?

No, Qin Fengjing has not seen any disasters recently, this year's harvest in Shaanxi is not bad, so it will not be a shortage of salt and leave home?

The more Zhang Zongben thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he sent an officer to ask. It was Yang Zaixing's eldest Yang step-heir, this guy left the team, urged the horse to stop the family, saw that there were old and young, he was dressed and waited for him to be loaded on the cart, raised his head, and asked: "That Han, where are you coming from, where are you going?" ”

The man who was driving the car was about forty years old, and at first glance he was an honest farmer, but when he saw this majestic officer in the way, he was already a little panicked, and when he asked, he stammered and couldn't speak. However, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and a doll in the car, estimated to be only seven or eight years old, replied crisply: "We are from Xining Village and want to go to Weizhou." ”

If he said it, Yang Jihei may not know, but this "Xining" was the name of Emperor Shenzong, so most of the Qin Feng officers in Xining Village knew that it was a military village in the Zhenrong Military Defense Area.

When Yang Jiji wanted to ask, the doll had already covered his mother's mouth, and when he saw it, he was angry: "You woman is so unreasonable!" I won't hurt you, what are you doing with him covering his mouth? ”

The woman just buried her head and didn't dare to respond, and the man said, "Don't blame the official, don't blame." The villain's family are all from Xining Village, and because of the war ahead, they want to go to Weizhou to join their relatives. ”

Yang Jisi was a little puzzled when he heard this: "The battle ahead, hundreds of miles away from the Zhenrong army, why are you panicking?" ”

When Han heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "So that the officials can know!" When the villains left their hometowns, they heard that the thieves broke Huaide Xi'an, and they were shocked that the whole village left their hometowns to avoid trouble! If you leave late, I'm afraid you'll suffer! ”

Yang Jiji was taken aback, suspected that he was lying, left his family, and asked several groups of people in a row, all of which were like this. It's terrible, hurry up and pull the horse back!

"Dashuai, most of these people are local residents of the Zhenrong Army, and some have gone south from Huaide. It is said that the thief broke Huaidexian and therefore fled! ”

As soon as Yang Jihe's words came out, Zhang Zongben's face changed greatly! They went north to rescue Weizhou. Weizhou is located on the border of Song and Liao, to the south is the Huaide army, and further south, is the Zhenrong army where it is located at this moment. Now the people are rumored to have broken the thief in Huaidexian, Naweizhou......

"It's broken! Good hands and feet of the Khitans! It's all in front of you! Du Feihu said.

Zhang Xian raised his hand: "Don't worry, things are not certain." "The Liao army may not have broken Weizhou, but it is also possible that the troops and horses were dispatched to take advantage of the emptiness of Jingyuan's defenses, and it is unknown to sweep around. After a little thought, he ordered: "Yang Jihei, give you five hundred horses, and gallop forward to probe." If you encounter an enemy, don't entangle with it and return it as soon as possible! ”

Yang Jihei received the order, that is, he led five hundred jīng to ride away from the main force and go north. Because the enemy's situation was unknown, Zhang Xian did not dare to let the troops continue to go north, so he ordered to go to Kaiyuan Fort to rest and recuperate. However, it was said that Yang Jisi led five hundred jīng horses, just like a dragon entering the sea, and along the way the horse galloped wildly to the north.

But seeing the endless stream of people fleeing with their families on the road, I guessed in my heart that what the people said may not be groundless. If you don't go out this time, you have to run into the Liao army!

Why is Yang Jiji so excited? His father, Yang Zaixing, is one of the few fierce generals under Xu Wei, and now even though he is old, he is as brave as yesterday, and he is very famous in the Western Army. The tiger father has no dogs, and Yang Jihei has completely inherited his father's martial arts and xìng style, and all he thinks about is to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. This time, Qin Feng's army rushed north to help, he was very happy, and now he got such a good messenger, leading the troops first, spying on the military situation, and he made up his mind to make the first contribution. Therefore, he can't wait to run into the Liao army and take him back with a string of heads! To be continued
