Chapter 65: A Critical Moment

The wind roared, and the bloody battle in Xiongzhou finally stopped, and the people stayed at home for the winter, and occasionally a few pedestrians wandered the streets.

Zhou Wei dragged his tired body, returned to the house, took off his armor, half lay down and half leaned on the chair, his eyes slightly closed, he kept panting, and muttered: "It's so tiring to fight!" Tired people lose their strength. ”

The soldiers came over with a basin of hot water, Zhou Wei put his feet in it to soak, and the soldiers were busy washing his feet.

"General, can we win this battle?" The soldiers chattered while washing their feet.

"! It's all like this, and I can't beat it, so I jump from the city. Zhou Wei was a little angry, and slapped his right hand on the head of the soldier.

"Huh! There is a victory. Our Great Song Dynasty needs to win the battle too much. "The pro-soldier is happy.

"Yes, the Great Song Dynasty has been fighting with Liaogou for hundreds of years, not all of them have been defeated, and they are not much worse, when have they defeated Liaogou? I think there were less than 10 of them. Zhou Wei couldn't help but shake his head, very sorry, and then excited: "If I defeat the Liao army in this battle and eat Yeluming's 50,000 army, it will definitely be the biggest victory in the Hundred Years War." Unfortunately, I only have 10,000 troops and can only defend the city. I don't want to, I don't want to, I sleep, I sleep! ”

The sound became quieter and quieter, and the snoring gradually increased, and later, the snoring was loud, like thunder.

"The general is tired!" The soldiers couldn't help but shake their heads, they were very pitiful, took a fur coat, covered it for Zhou Wei, raised the pot fire vigorously, and withdrew.

I don't know how long I slept, Zhou Wei suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the chair, stretched out, and strode out.

The soldiers were guarding the door, and when they saw Zhou Wei busy saluting, they asked curiously, "General, where are you going?" ”

"Patrol the city." Zhou Wei stepped out, glanced at the dark night sky, and sighed: "I just squinted my eyes, and it was late at night, amazing!" ”

"General, the weather is so cold, what kind of city are you still patrolling?" The soldiers were busy consoling.

"The more this season is, the more careful you have to be. Liaogou is scheming and has to be guarded against. Zhou Wei had taken a bath in the blood and rolled in the pile of dead people, and he knew that the soldiers were in danger, and he was extremely resolute.

With a few personal soldiers, Zhou Wei dragged his tired body and went to patrol the city again.

xxxxxxxxx In Xiongzhou City, there is an inconspicuous courtyard, at this time there are more than 100 tall strong men, dressed in Song Army equipment, with a knife at the waist, led by a triangular-eyed man, not too big, but extremely shrewd, a pair of eyes are bright.

He glanced at the more than 100 strong men, and said very excitedly: "The emperor wants us to lurk in Xiongzhou, and this lurking has been almost ten years. The emperor has not used us, and that is because the emperor does not need us to serve. The emperor's decree has been issued, and it is time for us to serve. ”

"Your Excellency, give the order!" The men stood straight, as if they had drawn them with a ruler.

"Good! Then he went to the head of the city, and opened the gates, and welcomed the army into the city. The leader ordered loudly.

"Yes!" More than 100 people, led by this man, quietly went out and touched towards the city gate.

In the tent of the Liao army marshal, Yeluming was discussing with the generals. Yelu Ming was extremely excited, his face was full of red light, his eyes flashed with a strange light, his hands were clenched into fists, he made a gratified bone joint sound, and glanced at the generals: "Hehe! Do you know why the emperor wants us to attack Xiongzhou in the ice and snow? ”

"Didn't the emperor say it, so that you don't need to bring a hole car, you can bring more stone throwers and goose cars." One of the generals replied loudly.

"You're wrong!" Yeluming stared at the general and said, "We are all wrong. As early as ten years ago, the emperor laid an ambush in Xiongzhou and never used it. Now is the time to use these volts. We are attacking in the ice and snow, and it would be good if we could capture Xiongzhou without using these volts. If they couldn't, Zhou Wei and the others would not have thought that the emperor was so far-sighted that he had laid the bush ten years ago, and this time, we would definitely be able to conquer Xiongzhou. ”

"Great!"

"Great!"

The generals were overjoyed. Yelu Hongji is too forbearing, he laid an ambush ten years ago and has not used it, and this patience kung fu is very within the reach of people.

"Gather your army and lie still outside the gates, and when the gates are opened, they rush in." Yeluming shook his fists fiercely, his eyes widened, and he roared loudly: "After so many years, we have finally succeeded!" Xiongzhou, Xiongzhou. ”

A group of generals took the order to go, mobilized the Liao army, and quietly came to hide outside the city gate, just waiting for the city gate to open.

xxxxxxxxxxx The Song army defending the city, braved the cold and snow, and kept patrolling. A team of Song soldiers at the gate of the city couldn't help but scold their mothers: "It's so cold!" It's cold! I can't even hold the knife! ”

"Liaogou is really not human, on such a cold day, they are not afraid of the cold?" And some of the soldiers cursed.

"Liao dogs are hardy to cold and not heat-tolerant, they are almost like they are in the house in the ice and snow. Liao dogs can really torture people. Another soldier cursed.

While scolding, a group of Song troops turned out and drove towards the city gate.

"What part are you from?" Song Jun glanced at it, did not arouse vigilance, and asked casually.

"On the orders of General Zhou, come to patrol the city. Look at you like this, you don't have a stand, you don't have any military discipline at all, no wonder you can't beat the Liao. The officer at the head glared at him and roared at the city gate soldiers: "Listen, put the knife in the sheath, stand up straight, and look ahead." ”

The city gate army thought to himself, where did the officers come from, such a big temper, such a cold day, as long as they guard the city gate, even Zhou Wei would not care about this. However, under the reprimand of this officer, he did not dare not carry it out, so he had to return the knife to the sheath, stand straight, and look ahead.

"Bang!"

The officer kicked a gate soldier in the thigh, and the gate soldier shuddered and almost fell to the ground. The officer scolded: "You pig, you haven't eaten? My legs are weak, can I ride when I see a woman? ”

"Haha!" The crowd let out a knowing laugh, and the kicked soldier looked ashamed, and wanted to say a few words, but he didn't dare, so he had to endure it.

The officer swaggered to the city gate, waved his right hand, pulled out a hemp knife, and slashed at a city gate soldier, and the head of the city gate soldier flew into the air, and he died before he could scream.

At the same time as the officer made his move, more than 100 "Song soldiers" who came with him shot out together, and slashed at the city gate army with a hemp knife in their hands. No one would have thought that an officer who spoke wittily and made people laugh would be shocked. These city gate troops didn't have time to resist at all, so they were killed.

"Quick, open the gates!" The officer at the head gave a loud order, and dozens of people rushed up and began to open the city gates.

"Who are you? Stop! ”

What happened at the gate of the city alarmed the Song army at the head of the city, and they shouted loudly, and a group of Song troops rushed down from the city.

"Who are we? We are the warriors of Da Liao, and by the will of the emperor, we came to open the city gate and welcome the warriors of Da Liao into the city! The officer finally showed his true face: "Prepare for battle." ”

There was no need for him to give an order, and the more than a hundred Liao troops knew what to do, pulled out their swords, and prepared for battle.

Zhou Wei took his own soldiers and patrolled here, and when he saw the Song army on the head of the city, he couldn't stop running down, frowned and asked, "What happened?" ”

"General, there is a Liao dog who killed the city gate official and is opening the city gate." One of the soldiers replied in horror.

As soon as the city gate is opened, if the Liao army pours into the city, the consequences will be unimaginable, and Xiongzhou City is likely to be captured by the Liao army. Without Xiongzhou City, the Liao army could drive straight into the Central Plains, and I don't know how many people died in the war.

As soon as Zhou Wei heard this, it was tantamount to thousands of thunders roaring in his ears, only to feel that the sky was spinning, and he almost fainted, and he held on and roared: "Quick, kill all the Liao dogs and recapture the city gate." ”

He drew his sword and rushed towards the gate. Behind him, Song Jun heard the wind and roared, following Zhou Wei to the city gate.

Dozens of Liao troops are opening the city gates, and only a few dozen people are responsible for resisting and delaying time. Although these dozens of people are fierce and have superb knife skills, they can't stand the Song army, and there are constantly people killed and wounded, and they are about to recapture the city gate. At this moment, only to hear the rumbling endlessly, the city gate revealed a small crack.

Although it was only a small crack, Zhou Wei saw it in his eyes, it was tantamount to seeing the abyss of hell, which made his heart beat and roared: "Quick! Kill all the Liao dogs! Take back the gates! Wielding his sword, he rushed over desperately.

Zhou Wei has a good knife technique, strong martial arts, and with his strength, every time he goes down, a Liao army will die. Under his leadership, the Liao army was quickly killed, including the officer.

"Quick, close the gates." Zhou Wei waved the slashing knife that was still dripping blood, and yelled.

In fact, there was no need for him to give an order, and the soldiers of the Song army also knew what to do, and with a hula, they rushed up to close the city gate. However, at this critical moment, I only heard an earth-shattering roar from outside the city: "Kill the people of the south!" ”

Outside the city gate, I saw countless Liao troops rushing over, as if a hungry wolf had seen a lamb, and attacked the city gate. It was a long human dragon, composed entirely of humans, with no end in sight.

The Song army in the city exerted their strength to close the city gate, but they were defeated by the large number of Liao troops outside the city, and the city gate was opened little by little. The arrows of both sides shuttled through the gaps, dense like raindrops, and the soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties.

"Boom!" The city gate was finally opened, and the Liao army poured in like a tidal wave.

The Liao army entered the city, which was extremely critical, and the Song army was very afraid, and some people began to flee. Zhou Wei stood on the ground and yelled: "Don't panic! Don't panic! Resist, resist! Whoever retreats, Lao Tzu kills whom! ”

The captive knife in his hand was waved and slashed at the fleeing Song army. He was very good at swordsmanship, one by one, and soon killed more than a dozen of them.

"Don't take a step back!" Zhou Wei yelled while killing.

Under his encouragement and suppression, the fleeing Song army finally turned around and threw itself into the battle against the Liao army.
