Chapter 501: The Eve of Dawn

The terrain where the cavalry can give full play to their speed advantage is relatively flat places such as plains and sand dunes, and areas with large obstacles to the movement of horses, such as hills, swamps and forests, have always been a nightmare for cavalry, so Li Zhun resolutely ordered to go up the mountain after seeing Hahar and Wudi leading the cavalry to catch up. ()

Liulin Mountain is very tall, this mountain extends from the south of Dingxiang to the west, Li Zhun and they only went up a small hill with a height of less than 500 meters in Liulin Mountain, after seeing Li Zhun and others go up the mountain, Hahar and Wu Di combined, and then decided to divide troops to surround this hill, and then waited for the arrival of Yelu Aluhan and Zhang Yuanzhi's large army.

Cavalry can't go up the mountain, so infantry can't always do it, right?

As long as the mountain is surrounded, so that the army of the An Dynasty cannot escape, and as soon as the Liao army in the rear arrives, then Li Zhun and they will be unable to fly!

Hahar and Udi's wishful thinking is loud, and their appetites are also very big, and their goals are clear!

Their goal is to completely annihilate the nearly 100,000 troops of the An Dynasty on the mountain and capture Li Zhun, the mainstay of the An Dynasty's court!

The soldiers began to build some simple fortifications on the small peaks, and some soldiers even lost their weapons when they fled, so they had to borrow the swords and guns of other soldiers to cut down some trees, and simply cut them down to serve as weapons for the time being.

The current situation is very bad for Li Zhun and them, it can be said that they are already fish and meat on the swords of the Liao State, but Li Zhun still did not give up.

Li Zhun was on the mountain peak and looked to the west.

Where is the endless dark night of forgetting, but Li Zhun knows...... On the territory of Xinzhou, Di Qing, who has 200,000 cavalry, will definitely not be defeated by the Liao army, not to mention that Meng Gongzuo divided nearly 100,000 troops to Dingxiang, at this time, the strength of Meng Gongzuo's hand and Di Qing's strength are two to one, Di Qing categorically has no reason to lose!

This is the only trace of faith and hope left in Li Zhun's heart, and the belief is that he and Xiao Mo's eyes will definitely not mistake Di Qing! Hopefully, Di Qing can lead the army and arrive in time!

Di Qing hadn't arrived yet, but the Liao army had arrived first.

Yelu Aluhan and Zhang Yuan reached the bottom of the mountain, the peak of the mountain was not high, and the two armies held each other like this, Zhang Yuanzhi proudly asked his soldiers to call Li Zhun by name on the mountain, and asked Li Zhun to talk to him.

Faced with the laughing voices of the Liao soldiers, Li Zhun responded in a deep voice and shouted to Zhang Yuanzhi: "Zhang Yuanzhi, you are a Han in vain!" Unexpectedly, he forgot his ancestors and recognized the thief as his father! ”

I didn't expect Li Zhun to be so hard-mouthed at this time, Zhang Yuanzhi laughed instead of being angry when he heard this, and sneered at Li Zhun: "I have heard that Li Zhun of the Southern Dynasty has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and it is really the case when I see it today!" But it's just a brave and unscrupulous person, and I don't even understand the truth of the prince and the loser! On the day I Zhang Yuanzhi was born, Youzhou belonged to Da Liao, and I was naturally a courtier of Da Liao. ”

At this time, Zhang Yuanzhi had the ticket to victory, and he also had the mind to fight with Li Zhun, and Zhang Yuanzhi seemed to enjoy this feeling, because it was a feeling of victory.

The spring breeze is proud, this is the portrayal of Zhang Yuanzhi's feeling in his heart now!

As for Li Zhun accusing him of being a Han Chinese, but helping foreigners invade the country of the Han people, Zhang Yuanzhi didn't care at all, and he was proud of it!

"Thief!" Li Zhun scolded angrily, Rao is he was able to hold his breath again, seeing Zhang Yuanzhi, a traitor, with the face of a villain, Li Zhun couldn't help but burst into foul language, and scolded Zhang Yuanzhi: "You scum of the Han people!" No wonder Ziheng once said that you are a villain, and you don't even want your ancestors, it's really better than a pig and a dog! ”

was scolded by Li Zhun, Zhang Yuanzhi was also annoyed, no matter how proud he was, as a result, it was better to be scolded as a pig and dog, and the pride in his heart would dissipate, and then he became angry.

At this time, when he heard Li Zhun mention Xiao Mo again, the anger in Zhang Yuanzhi's heart was even stronger, when Xiao Mo went to Liao, Zhang Yuanzhi was in the court of Liao State by Xiao Mo in front of Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji and Zhang Xiaojie and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu to get off the stage, and in the subsequent juju competition Xiao Mo shined again, making himself look dull compared to him, which made Zhang Yuanzhi hate Xiao Mo all the time, so Zhang Yuanzhi hated and said: "Xiao Mo? Hum...... This time, Xiao Mo shrank in the Southern Dynasty, not daring to come to fight with me, he was cowardly, how could there be a place for him to talk here? ”

Not to mention that Zhang Yuanzhi is a typical villain, the villain is like this, he has not completely defeated Li Zhun yet, and he began to get carried away and ignore Xiao Mo.

"What the smartest person in the world, what the first genius in the world, it turns out that he is just a turtle with a shrunken head!"

Zhang Yuanzhi began to laugh, hearing Zhang Yuanzhi insulting Xiao Mo, Ruan Xiaoqi next to Li Zhun couldn't help it, he saw that Li Zhun couldn't scold Zhang Yuanzhi, so he began to scold beside him: "To the mother thief, if it weren't for the fact that my family wants to keep filial piety for my mother, you stupid bird can also call here?" It's almost as good to go back and call your mother spring! ”

Ruan Xiaoqi was born from the grassroots, he was an out-and-out gangster before joining the army, and scolding people is not comparable to a Confucian like Li Zhun, not only can he scold more than Li Zhun, but also the scolding words are more vulgar, which makes Zhang Yuan even more angry when he listens to it!

When Li Zhun heard Ruan Xiaoqi's scolding, not only did he not blame Ruan Xiaoqi, but also asked Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Yuanzhi to scold each other as if encouraging, hoping to delay the time of the Liao army's attack and disrupt Zhang Yuanzhi's thinking.

At this time, Li Zhun's eyes once again looked at the West in the dark night!

On the outskirts of Xinzhou, after driving Meng Gongzuo back to Yuanping, Di Qing and Qin Feng rushed to Dingxiang non-stop, and due to the delay in the journey, they felt that Dingxiang was naturally a long time late.

Zhang Long led 80,000 cavalry to chase the horseshoe prints all the way to the camp of the An Dynasty outside Dingxiang City, but found that the camp had been burned to ruins, only the rear camp was intact, but the railing was also pushed to.

In the rear camp, there is also a team of Liao soldiers guarding the grain, grass and baggage!

Without saying a word, Zhang Long took out the Liao troops with a charge, while the cavalry spies reported finding the two generals Cao Xiang and Hu Yanhe, as well as some soldiers, in the woods northwest of the camp.

Zhang Long didn't care about these grains and grasses, so he took the soldiers and horses to meet Cao Xiang, and asked where Cao Xiang and Li Zhun and Fu Heng went, Cao Xiang was also at a loss, and finally heard from the soldiers' mouths that Li Zhun and they seemed to have retreated in the southwest direction!

And Hu Yanhe was still thinking about his grain and grass at this time, and when he heard Zhang Long say that the granary and baggage were still in good condition, Hu Yanhe said to Cao Xiang and Zhang Long: "Now that the Liao army is chasing after Lord Li, the camp must be empty, and I will lead 30,000 horses from my headquarters to recapture the granary and baggage and transport it to Xinzhou!" ”

"At this time, don't care about your grain and grass, okay?" For Hu Yanhe, a stubborn guy, Cao Xiang was a little helpless.

"No way!" Hu Yanhe said: "Grain and grass are the foundation of our army, and we can't cheap the Liao people!" It just so happens that the Liao State can't take care of these grains and grasses now, so let me go! ”

"That's it!" Cao Xiang couldn't persuade Hu Yanhe, so he had to let him lead the troops, while Cao Xiang himself joined forces with Zhang Long, and then searched all the way to the northwest.

Di Qing and Qin Feng also entered Dingxiang, and when they traveled more than 20 miles, they could see the fire on the side of Dingxiang City.

Qin Feng said to Di Qing: "General, I'm afraid we're really late!" ”

Di Qing nodded, his brows furrowed deeply, looking a little dignified.

After thinking about it, Di Qing said: "I'm afraid that our army's camp has been broken, judging from these horseshoe prints, Zhang Long has chased in the direction of Dingxiang, but there is no movement in front, obviously he has not encountered the enemy!" ”

Qin Feng asked uncertainly, "So, Zhang Long is chasing in the wrong direction?" ”

Di Qing nodded, and he said, "I suggest that we go south and search for the traces of the adults all the way!" ”

Qin Feng also nodded and said, "If the adults are defeated and retreat, there is no reason to go north!" ”

The north is Liao, and the southwest is Taiyuan City, so if Li Zhun wants to retreat, he will also retreat to the southwest!

Moreover, there is already Zhang Long's horseshoe print in the northwest direction, in line with the principle of casting a wide net, Di Qing should indeed go south at this time!

In the south, on the hill of Liulin, Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Yuanzhi scolded each other a few words, Zhang Yuanzhi found that he couldn't scold this gangster, so he simply shut up, and then began to order soldiers to attack the mountain!

"Don't let me catch you, if I catch you, I, Zhang Yuan, will definitely crush you to ashes!"

Zhang Yuanzhi intimidated Ruan Xiaoqi, where would Ruan Xiaoqi be afraid of him intimidation? didn't care about Zhang Yuanzhi's shouting, Ruan Xiaoqi kept scolding on the mountain: "Straight thief, brute, black-hearted cub, pig urine bubble......"

"Kill, kill me, this scolding guy, you must be captured alive, you must keep it for me, I will skin him and cramp!" Zhang Yuanzhi finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to explode, his eyes were red, his breathing was short, and he looked angry.

The Liao army received Zhang Yuanzhi's order and began to attack the mountain, they were arranged in a neat formation, pikemen and shield soldiers covered each other to go up the mountain, and at this time, the An Dynasty soldiers on the mountain also began to take advantage of the height, began to fire arrows and throw some stones on the mountain bags.

With the help of stones and bows and arrows, the first wave of the Liao army's offensive was repulsed, and at this time, Li Zhun's face became more and more solemn.

Because there is always a time when the stones on the mountain are exhausted, and at this time, the few archers in the army have a little shortage of arrows in their hands.

The next wave of the Liao army's attack, Li Zhun knew that it would come soon, and he also knew that he must hold it! But......

How to keep it? Or rather...... What to keep?
