The Liao army's heavy cavalry turned around and ran backwards, and the Tang army's heavy cavalry in the north covered their backs and fought. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info The sound of murder and murder shook the sky.

Jerecius turned around and rushed due west, while a large number of Tang troops rushed to the south, riding and firing "thunderbolts", and arrows in the air were like locusts.

The roaring noise makes people's ears buzz. Yelu Hugo looked around, he couldn't control the situation, there were horsemen rushing everywhere, a large area of the Liao army was divided into an unknown number of units by the rushing men and horses, the battlefield was flowing everywhere, but it was impossible to break through on all sides, and the layers of cavalry were like whirlpools in the sea rushing in a circuitous way!

Looking at the southeast, the Tang Army's mounted infantry had already come over the Cao Canal, and the infantry and cavalry were mixed together, and a large area of men and horses were in a melee.

Tens of thousands of people in the middle rushed to kill and fight, the men and horses became denser and denser, and the cavalry couldn't rush around!

Jeruxiu's brows were furrowed, his eyes were round, and his bloodshot eyes seemed to be able to kill. I'm not convinced! The first tiger general of Daliao is trapped in the chaos at the moment, and there is a kind of unwillingness and humiliation of the tiger falling into Pingyang, as well as regret...... Because the divided Liao army is being attacked on all sides, and it is being slaughtered by despicable and unfair means!

Yelu Hugo has no way at this time, and the military order is no longer within a radius of 100 steps!

He led a heavy cavalry to rush westward, and was encountering an oncoming Tang cavalry, which was like a rain of arrows pouring down. "Ah......" The cavalry of the Liao army seemed to have turned into hedgehogs all of a sudden.

Yelu Hugo raised his horsewhip and went straight to the headquarters, and the army followed him around a big turn, galloped on his horse, and the Tang army on the right followed. The two sides drew their bows on their horses and fired at each other, and people kept rolling off their horses.

Yelu Hugo took a detour to the rear with a group of elite horses, and saw that the men and horses that the Tang army on the east side was weak, so he decisively detoured to the east again. The clanging of swords, guns, spears and armor slammed into each other, and Yelu Hugo slashed and killed many cavalry of the Tang Army on the left and right, killing a gap, and a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out like molten steel that broke the embankment.

The wind was whistling in his ears, and when Yelu Hugo looked back, the situation on the battlefield was unbearable! A large number of men and horses were trapped in the chaos, running like frightened ant colonies on all sides, and the Tang army pursued and killed endlessly. As far as the eye can see, the entire field seems to be staging a scene of killing!

Looking back, the remnant sun that had gone down half of the mountain was blood-red, as if it was stained red by blood.

Jeruxiugo's mind went blank, he didn't believe the situation at all, it was like a nightmare. With so many people and horses lost, there are still elite soldiers in the palace tent, what else is there to live? He couldn't imagine the aftermath of the war now!

Suddenly, there was a faint shout from the wind: "Run away from that elite soldier, it's the people next to the Khitan general Yelu Huge!" ”

Only then did he discover that in the rear of the right side, a group of men and horses were advancing to the west, and although the horses were not facing him, they were obviously aimed at themselves, and the rising soldiers wanted to outflank them from the right flank!

Jerecius led the crowd to gallop, a little away from the roaring battlefield, and the sound of the heavy cavalry running "clanging" gradually became obvious.

After going to the battlefield, the fine horsemen around Yelu Hugo were all in armor, and after running for a while, there were obvious signs of poor speed! And the Don army slowly caught up on the right flank...... Although the cavalry of the Tang Army was shining in armor in the sunset, there was only some light leather armor on the horse, and as long as the horses were not armored, they belonged to the light cavalry, and they ran faster than the heavy cavalry with a suit of iron armor.

"Bang bang bang bang ............" "Ahhh

And the Don Army striker is still running parallel on the right side. Yelu Hugo kept turning his head to watch, knowing that the Tang army's horsemen had also discovered the speed gap, intending to overtake the past from the north and then outflank and intercept it.

Jeruxiugo did not dare to turn to the left, and turned left to the south, after all, there was no way out.

"Rush over!" Jeruxiugo immediately made a decision and shouted. Riding the horse and turning to the right, all the troops galloped after him, and went straight to the Tang Army horse team to the north!

At this time, Yelu Hugo's side ran away and was damaged, and it was estimated that there were two or three hundred horses left.

"Third brother, brothers avenge you!" Amid the sound of horses' hooves, a shout was heard.

Tang Jun's horses shouted and shouted: "Avenge the people of Hebei!" ”

In a short time, the two armies were close to each other. The Tang soldiers and horses were crowded, and they frantically poured up. Suddenly, swords and swords, blood flew wildly.

"Ah......" A Liao cavalry went up, only to see a companion in front of him being stabbed twice in a row, and then slashed by a horse's saber, and the blood was so bloody that the face of the person a few steps away was splashed with blood. He was in a daze, and the Tang Army's horsemen had rushed in, "Bell! The war horse crossed his shoulder, and the weapon slammed into it with a piercing sound, and a moment later, another Tang army rushed in, waving his saber and sweeping over. The sword light flashed like lightning, too fast, and before the Khitan could react, the blade had swept across his neck.

A large number of horses of the Tang army rushed up and surrounded the remnants of the Liao army to death in an instant. Surrounded on all sides, the army formation was thick, and the cavalry of the Liao army could not rush out, so they couldn't even run their horses, and they were more and more crowded.

"Let's go!" Jeruhugo shouted angrily.

"Ahh The cavalry of the Liao army shouted and rushed forward, but they couldn't run at all, and the men and horses blocked it. Their eyes widened as they looked at the scene not far away. A group of Zhou soldiers, some on horseback, some squeezed off their horses, were pulling a Liao soldier off their horses, and the cherry spears and sabers were frantically inserted into the man, and the screams and neighs in the crowd were bursting their lungs.

The arrows on his head fell like hail, and the surrounding Tang troops rushed frantically to kill, which was simply a situation of sword mountains and sea of fire.

"Commander, let's surrender......"

"The grassland gods have abandoned the Great Khitan, let's finish!"

At this moment, the Tang army's horsemen on horseback and people on the ground had rushed to the front in a chaotic manner, and the dense cherry spears stabbed at this side, and the screams of people and the neighing of horses were deafening.

Jeruhugo suddenly felt that his seat was empty, and the horse suddenly neighed and knelt on the ground with his front hooves, and he immediately pounced forward. With a "bang", Venus in front of him was popping up, and when he opened his eyes, there was a knife whistling above his eyes, Yelu Hugo didn't think about it, and with a "bang" the scimitar came out of its sheath and swung it up, "Bell!" The tiger's mouth suddenly went numb.

At this moment, a long-handled iron knife stabbed him in the chest, Yelu Hugo's brain was confused, and his body was immediately on one side, and his chest was hit with a "bang", but the slope formed behind the side made the iron blade unable to borrow force, and slid to the back with a "bang" against the armor.

But a moment later, a kick came at him in the abdomen. Jeruxiugo was violently kicked and fell to the ground, and a big man with a horse face jumped up and stepped on his hand, and a sharp pain came.

Yelu Hugo gritted his teeth and didn't snort, glaring at the man fiercely. But it was a big man with a horse face, with a fierce face, and he also glared at him.

The horse-faced man threw away the long-handled iron knife in his hand and pulled out a sword from his waist. stepped forward and ripped off the helmet on Yeluxiugo's head, and then grabbed the hair around his bald head with a hard hand, and the sword went down, and blood spurted like a needle.

**

"Good news! Good news...... "A man outside the palace came in with a shout of excitement.

The brush in Lu Fei's hand froze on the paper and raised his head. Dozens of people in the signing room turned their heads to look at the door together, and their movements were simply uniform. Flickering lights, dozens of pairs of eyes sparkling in the bright light.

Not long after, a herald with a triangular red flag on his back was put straight into the signing room, because it was good news.

The herald knelt on one knee, picked up the bloodstained report with both hands, and said loudly: "The front of the palace Sibu has won a great victory on the southern front!" ”

The eunuch Wang Fang hurriedly went down to pick up the things. Lu Fei asked, "What is the result of the battle?" ”

The herald said: "Encircle and destroy the Liao army, 30,000 elite cavalry!" The commander of the Liao army, Yelu Xiuge, died in the chaos! ”

"Up......roar" Everyone in the signing room suddenly became excited, and even the heralds and guards lined up outside were noisy. Some people widened their eyes and clenched their fists, and some people looked up wantonly and laughed "haha".

Cao Bin looked back left and right, and said loudly: "The emperor led his troops to sweep the world, and the whole world is not the king's land!" ”

All the civil officials and military generals followed and shouted, "The whole world is not the king's land...... Could it be that the king is ......", a group of people stood up and knelt, while bowing, while shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live......

"Happiness" came too suddenly, Lu Fei only felt that the blood in his body was hotter than usual, but he felt a little trance in the slightly dim light. It may be that the pressure was too much before, and at this time, I suddenly relaxed my brain and felt dizzy.

Indeed, this battle was just an accident, and it was not roughly expected at all! Although the outcome should be much different in the expected trajectory of gaffes, there is no doubt that this battle has greatly reduced the torment.

Lu Fei raised his head and let out a long breath. Stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his head a few times, then unfolded the report in his hand and read it carefully, and then handed it to the eunuch Wang Fang after confirmation: "Show the ministers...... Arise and speak. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the room, and people were still in a happy and excited mood while reading the newspaper.

Lu Fei turned his head and looked at the night sky outside the carved window, the weather was so good tonight, and the stars in the sky were very gorgeous! In the beautiful night, he noticed a bright light dragging his tail across the sky, which was a meteor. It seems that the wish in the dark has been fulfilled, and it is as if an important figure in the legend has fallen and embodied in the celestial phenomena...... Yelu Hugo is known as the first tiger general of Daliao, and he can be regarded as a character.

Lu Fei was refreshed at the moment.

Cao Bin behaved more calmly than the other ministers, and said calmly: "The minister thinks that it is better to throw the head of the Liao army into Youzhou City to scare them, continue to open a gap in the east of the city, and take Youzhou as soon as possible." As for Cangzhou, you can ask someone to build a kneeling statue wearing a flail in the city to insult Brother Yelu Hugh. ”

Lu Fei felt that the method was very good, and immediately said: "It will be played by Cao Zhijun." You go and arrange this. ”

"The ministers obey."

…… The next morning, it was sunny again, but the battlefield was filled with smoke and a sense of slaughter.

Many people were carrying headless corpses and throwing them into the pits, and in the pits one by one, the bones were burned with firewood and tung oil, and black smoke filled the air. There was a foul smell in the air, and the smell of burnt flesh and blood, fishy smells, and all sorts of mixed stenchs.

The Tang sergeants and the people were mixed together, and they were driving the car on the battlefield and slowly walking and stopping. The soldiers took the woodcutters to the ground and slashed their heads, the people and the dingfu were picking up weapons and arrows on the ground, and some were pulling out the armor on the corpses and searching the contents of the corpses.

Truckloads of people's heads were carried away, sprinkled with lime.

On the battlefield, Yang Yanzhao and other generals rode horses and watched their exploits. This miserable situation is a tragic scene for the Liao people, but for the Zhou people, it is like a record of showing off their might.

The two countries have been hostile for many years, and there are too many blood feuds, and at this time, the soldiers have no mercy, but feel happy about such a bloody scene!

However, everyone was really tired from the battle yesterday, and the Tang army also suffered a lot of casualties after the battle, everyone was tired, and few people spoke.

Cao Keming took out a piece of wheat cake from the bag, and while looking at the battlefield, he took a bite and chewed it. Tie Hammer suddenly turned his head and looked at Cao Keming with strange eyes, as if to say: This smell of noodles, you still eat very deliciously!

……

The Tang army outside Youzhou City was still besieging the city, but it did not attack the city early this morning. Youzhou City seems to be dead silent.

Xiao Daling sat on the leather chair of the Southern Courtyard Mansion, looking sluggish, and didn't say a word all morning.

Instead, someone yelled below: "Waste! Brother Yelu Hugh is a waste, and it is not a pity to die, but it is a pity that the elite soldiers of Daliao who have reinforced us ......"

Another general said in despair, "How did Jeruhugo fight like this...... It's unbelievable! ”

At this moment, someone cautiously asked, "Will Shangjing send reinforcements?" ”

Xiao Daling's motionless head immediately turned his head to look at the man, this sentence is the key.

Youzhou is very important, but is Da Liao willing to spend all its national strength here? Even if the Queen Mother is willing, can she mobilize the army again in such a situation? What's more, if you really want to be stalked and consumed here, it is still difficult to say how it will end.

Today's truce of the Tang Army made Xiao Daling feel that in this dead and silent atmosphere, Youzhou was already a dead city!

One general carefully reminded: "If there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid Youzhou won't be able to hold it, and sooner or later." ”

…… Da Liao went to Beijing, and the news of Yelu Huge's defeat came, and it was like a bolt from the blue!

It was rare that there was a torrential rain on the grassland, and the wind and rain raged throughout Shangjing. Xiao Yanyan felt that Miyagi was in turmoil and was about to overturn......

This is not cowardice, Xiao Yanyan really felt the danger, but it was not the wind and rain that overthrew the imperial power, but the people.

"Brother Yelu Xiu......" Xiao Yanyan's hands were shaking, "I have failed the high hopes of this palace!" ”

The attendants around him, the ministers and nobles below, all bent down and stood there in fear.

What to do in Youzhou?

If Yelu Hugo is defeated, if Youzhou loses again...... Youzhou not only lost a large piece of rich territory, but also had more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry in the city, leaving 20,000 or 30,000 infantry before and after; In addition, the Khitan family members in Youzhou and the Khitan people in various cities also have tens of thousands of people! Throw it all away? Xiao Yanyan keeps losing Da Liao's family money, and can she still order the ministry?

And Youzhou doesn't seem to be able to solve the situation, Xiao Yanyan is in a dilemma, and feels that the road seems to have been exhausted!

Xiao Yanyan didn't dare to say it directly, she wanted to give up Youzhou; No one in the entire Shangjing dared to say this. However, it became impossible to reinforce Xiao Daling and continue to go south to Youzhou to launch a national war.

Only push Xiao Daling out, and when the time comes, all the blame for losing Youzhou will be blamed on Xiao Daling!

Whether it's useful or not, I'm afraid it's only like this at this time!

Sure enough, someone cautiously spoke: "Brother Yelu Hugh was defeated in Youzhou, and Xiao Daling has no reinforcements for the time being, seeing this situation, can he still hold the city?" ”

A minister said: "Send reinforcements south to rescue Xiao Daling?" ”

There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone fell silent.

No one wants to go south to waste any more, and if they can delay it until autumn, they will delay it. Because there is no solution!

Xiao Yanyan also understood in her heart, and doubted that Xiao Daling's single-tree support could last for a few months......

She opened her little mouth, and a lament was sighed, and she swallowed it raw into her stomach.

"Whirring ......" The wind howled outside the palace, creaking through the cracks in the nailed planks. Xiao Yanyan seemed to have thousands of horses galloping in his heart, what he had been worried about was the turmoil of the various tribes on the grassland, and he really didn't expect that he would be planted in the hands of the southerners!

The southerners are actually the deadliest threat! Who could have imagined?

"Emperor Lu Xiao is a crazy beast, he wants not only Youzhou, but also the life of Da Liao!"

...

The roaring sound of cannons made Youzhou City tremble, the walls of the city were full of earth and stones, and the collapsed houses in the city were covered with dust.

After a while, the sound of the cannon will cease, every day. As soon as the sound stopped, the people outside would approach the river in a sparse manner. Xiao Daling didn't need to watch it to know that it was this scene, because there were too many repetitions.

In addition to this, there is one more thing.

Xiao Daling couldn't help but look up at the sky as soon as the cannon outside the city stopped. Sure enough, a moment later, something round like a ball of grass flew in the air, a large ball rolling, and the hair was like a tail in the air.

On the roof of the ruined house of "Papapa......, the street is full of balls.

The surrounding Liao soldiers were all bloodless, because they knew what it was!

Xiao Daling took out a white handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and looked down at a round ball that fell in front of the horse, a human head! A pair of lifeless eyes stuffed with mud and lime in the sloppy and unkempt hair, the face was bloody and bloody, the skin of the mouth was gone, and the two rows of big yellow teeth were exposed, like the terrible appearance of skeletons.

The air was filled with a stench of blood, as well as the alkaline smell of lime.

"Wow!" Not far away, a soldier who was picking up the head with a straw mat suddenly vomited.

Xiao Daling blushed and silently watched everything that happened in front of him. It is rare for someone to be frightened crazy, but the breath of Youzhou at this time is indeed very bad.

The quaint street buildings, the ruin-like houses near the city wall, there are not a single people on the street, and the heads of people are flying in the air, as if ghosts are dancing in the daytime on a sunny day...... The point is the desperation that comes with a large number of heads flying into the city!

With so many Khitan young and strong men's heads, there is no need to control rumors! Seeing is believing, everyone understands that all the reinforcements of Yelu Hugo are finished!

In the lonely city where there are no reinforcements, what is the mood of the defenders inside?

Xiao Daling was a little distracted and muttered, "This king has already warned the Khitan nobles...... Han'er seems to be docile, but he is not a sheep, and he is most afraid that Han'er will be ruthless. ”

Xiao Daling said in his heart: For the sake of Youzhou, Emperor Lu Xiao can put the elite soldiers of the whole country in Hebei to fight hard; The Khitan is very loud to scare people, but after 30,000 people die, can they still fight hard?

The emotion of failure came to his heart, and Xiao Daling was extremely depressed.

In a trance, suddenly there was a chorus of singing from outside the city, Xiao Daling listened to it, he could understand Chinese, "Tang Dynasty warriors, restore my rivers and mountains." Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce......"

It was as if a million people were singing a desolate song in the distance, coming from the sky, pervasively, and the horses under Xiao Daling's seat all moved, and took a step back.

The surrounding Liao army soldiers raised their heads and listened attentively.

Xiao Daling rode his horse and rushed up the slope behind the city wall, and the general hurriedly persuaded: "The Tang army will fire artillery in a while, take care of the king!" ”

Xiao Daling dismounted and climbed up to the top of the city, looking at it, only to see that outside the city tower, people and horses were like a sea, and the scene was extremely spectacular! The faces in the distance were vaguely facing Youzhou, as if they were pilgrimage to this ancient city that had been lost for more than 20 years. The four lines of singing, sung in unison in the sea of people, repeated and repeated, like a grand incantation.

"Restore my rivers and mountains ......" and "Die without truce......"

After a while, the deafening sound of "boom, boom......" suddenly sounded again, and the earth trembled. In the distance, a row of white smoke rose up, and the muzzles of the cannons sprayed the flames of gunpowder, like the anger of thousands of troops!

Xiao Daling was awakened by this huge battle, and remembered the character of Han'er seen in the book, Gou Jian is revenge, three thousand Yuejia can destroy the country, and the Han Dynasty will destroy the Huns at any cost, and the war will continue for fifty years!

A hundred pounds of cobblestone fell from the sky! Syllable! Bang...... Splashes of masonry on the city walls.

The army hurriedly surrounded Xiao Daling and shouted: "Protect the king!" ”

Xiao Daling got off the city wall, gradually sobered up a lot, and suddenly understood a truth in his heart: this battle can't be fought! Han'er has to fight hard, and if he continues to fight, he will find death!

At this moment, the cannon roared and a horse galloped in, a Khitan man without a hat and a bald head. He ran to Xiao Daling, jumped off the horse, bent his neck and walked to the horse, holding a note in both hands: "The news delivered by the deputy envoy of the Southern Courtyard outside the city is passed by the king." ”

Xiao Daling picked it up and looked at it, there was Khitan writing on it, and his face changed with a "sigh".

Shangjing's order is to have the Southern Courtyard defend Youzhou alone until autumn!

Xiao Daling slammed the note into a ball, held it in the palm of his hand, and rode away.

Maybe the people who went to Beijing forgot? Emperor Lu Xiao led hundreds of thousands of people to besiege the lonely city, and after destroying Yelu Xiuge, the morale of the Tang army was strong...... How many months will you have to keep it in such a situation?!

If Xiao Daling announced the news, the generals would definitely scold the people in Beijing for having a problem with their brains!

In fact, Xiao Daling knew that the brains of the Liao Emperor and the nobles were fine...... He even confirmed at once that even if he could really defend the city until autumn, there would still be no reinforcements; There will be other excuses then!

……

Half a month later, the moat of Youzhou City was filled in a large section.

After the long roar of the cannons, behind the fence of the Tang army, the armor "roared", and the infantry slowly moved forward and passed through the siege fortifications.

In front of the crowd, a group of horses galloped over, and people quickly recognized that the emperor Lu Fei was sitting on a big horse in the middle, and they all looked over, and the army shouted and made noise.

Lu Fei slowed down and looked back at the tall and thick Youzhou city wall, the bricks on the wall were full of holes, and the female wall above was collapsed, but the city wall was still standing...... It is impossible to smash through a twenty or thirty-meter-thick earthen wall with a projectile stone alone! In the end, it is necessary to use people to charge and attack until the fighting spirit of the defenders is exhausted. There is no other way.
