Of course, if you want to count on how hard these Khitan people can be, it is definitely too much to sacrifice their lives and forget death for the Bohai people.
After all, the Khitan archers were shooting from their backs, and they had little protection. If the formation is close to the city wall, the loss will be great, and if it is far away, the effect will drop rapidly. At this time, of course, the Khitan people will not carry forward the noble style of self-sacrifice, and work hard for those Bohai people who have enemies in the past, and help them achieve military achievements!
Soon, the Bohai people who launched the charge suffered heavy losses under the baptism of arrows of the defenders. And their efforts have not been very effective. After being busy for a long time, the losses were not small, but they only cleared a few antlers and horses and opened a few passages.
The ugly-faced Zahe rushed to the general in charge of commanding the Khitan archers, waving his muscular arms and shouting excitedly, "Go up and shoot them!" We're all dying! ”
The Khitan general glanced at him coldly, and said angrily, "Our people won't die if they go up?" What do you mean? If it doesn't work, get out! "The Khitans have been rulers of this land for hundreds of years, and they don't look down on forces like the Bohai people at all. There was no politeness when he spoke.
Zahe was stunned, his dark face flushed. Suddenly, he glared at the copper bell with big eyes, and picked up a hand as big as a fan to beat him.
The Khitan general was not a good bird, and after he gave way sideways, he immediately blacked his face and backhanded to draw his sword. In the end, the two of them fell into a rage and were stopped by the people around them. It's a battlefield here, and it's still going on at the moment. If they did it themselves, then Gao Yang would definitely not let them go. At this moment, this world is already in charge of Gao Yang and Chang Shengjun. No one dared to give him eye medicine under Gao Yang's nose.
Instead of helping his people, Zahe's impulse led to a grudge against the Khitans. The Khitans already had weak long-range support, but now they became even weaker.
There is no suppression of long-range fire. The Jurchens on the city wall frantically shot arrows downward. The sound of breaking the sky sounded violently.
While the ferocious rain of arrows shot down a large number of Bohai people, the anger in the hearts of those Bohai people was also aroused. These fierce Bohai people began to fight to remove obstacles regardless of casualties.
As the Bohai people began to wreak havoc on the antlers and reject the horses. The Jurchens on the city wall, who had little experience in defending the city, also began to be anxious. The bed crossbows that had been captured from the Liao people and when they went south began to wield their might.
The Jurchen sergeants swung their hammers and smashed them the bracket. The thick bolts flew out in an instant. Slammed into the shield carts. The shield carts that came out in a hurry were shattered by the powerful impact. Sawdust flew in all directions, piercing into the surrounding human body, causing a terrible scream. The Bohai army array under the city suddenly splattered with blood, turning over to a large area, dyeing the earth with a shocking crimson color!
The blow was so heavy that dozens of shield carts were quickly destroyed. Having lost the shield wagon's defenses, almost all of the Bohai people who came within range were shrouded in a deadly rain of arrows.
A gust of wind blew, and the victorious army was in the middle of the battle. Under a golden royal banner dancing in the wind, Gao Yang, who was riding a horse, raised his eyebrows.
After staring at the Shangjing City in the distance for a moment. Gao Yang shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "The defenders in the city are not upset. What's the point? Before they even crossed the trench, they started to use bed crossbows, how many bed crossbows did they use? And how many arrows can be shot! I can't hold my breath like this, how long can I hold on. ”
"You've been telling the truth all the time." Yuan Dian smiled and said, "Who else is it, what kind of morale can you have in this situation?" With no outside support, no elite garrisons, and even no experience in defending the city, they have nothing now. Don't be too demanding. ”
"It's not high, it's not good." Gao Yang stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead lightly, and said, "I have accepted so many cannon fodder who came to take refuge along the way. If the Jurchens can't hold on, then how long will these cannon fodder be consumed? Without my storage space, an expedition of this magnitude would almost never have been possible in the future. If you can't destroy them all this time. There's definitely going to be big trouble after that. ”
"Is this difficult?" Yuan Dian said suspiciously, "You can't consume it, you can kill them all by yourself." They don't have much to resist, right? ”
"......" Gao Yang opened his mouth slightly, stunned for a moment and unable to speak. After a pause. Cai grinned and said, "This, although I don't care too much. But the discipline is still better than nothing. ”
After a pause, he waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this, continue to watch the play." ”
......
The Bohai people who were besieging the city in front suffered a heavy blow. The sergeants were shot to the ground in droves, blood pouring down. The eyelids jumped wildly when I looked straight at them, and my teeth were about to be crushed.
No matter which ethnic group it is, it is impossible to compete with the Central Plains ethnic groups in terms of quantity. For these peoples, every adult male is an extremely valuable asset. Battle damage at this rate. I can't stand it anymore.
The red-eyed Zha He brandished his sword and rushed forward with the people. But this apparent act of outrage has little practical significance. When he was dragged out of the range of the crossbow, he looked at the people not far away who were screaming and wailing under the baptism of arrows. Both eyes are spewing fire!
Zha He ignored the bleeding wounds on his body, turned over and stood up and ran to the Khitan generals who were in charge of supervising the battle. There was a beastly light in his eyes. stared at the Khitan general, and shouted viciously, "Let's quit!" Go back to the prince and talk about it! ”
"Huh?" The general looked stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "Are you crazy? You dare to withdraw from the army without a military order? How many heads do you have enough to chop off? ”
"Hey, hey." Zha He laughed fiercely, and said with a fierce expression: "Even if my head is cut off, I can't watch the clansmen die in vain like this!" Don't worry, even if I die, I will take you with me! ”
"You dare to retreat?!" The Khitan general pulled out his sword with his backhand, and scolded sharply, "I am the one who supervises the war, whoever dares to take a step back, it will be killed!" After speaking, he waved his war knife and asked those Khitan archers to target those Bohai people.
"Hey~~~" Zha Closed stepped forward, staring at his eyes with a sinister smile, and clutching the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand. said coldly: "You are the guy in our hands who gave it for nothing? ”
“...... Hehe. The Khitan general was slightly stunned, his eyes rolled, and suddenly he seemed to think of something. put away the war knife, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Since you are not afraid of death, then go back." I want to see how you go about explaining to the prince! ”
The Khitan general didn't have any compassion. Instead, he remembered that there were few people on his side, and that they were archers. Once the sword soldiers are really moved, they will definitely not be the opponents of these red-eyed Bohai people. Heroes don't suffer immediate losses. When they returned to the camp, naturally those southerners would punish them.
Although the clan has long discussed that they will consume the strength of those fools when they are in the warlord's team. After the departure of the Changsheng army, an important foundation was laid for the re-emergence of the Khitan clan. However, this incident did not cost him his life.
Anyway, these guys escaped from the battle, and when they go back, they must be a dead word. Why should you be troubled? When the time comes, it's okay to watch them die.
After losing more than a thousand lives, the anxious Bohai people retreated like a tide. Only corpses and scattered miscellaneous debris were left everywhere. And, of course, that endless amount of blood.
......
"Oh. That's right. Gao Yang sat on his horse, pinching his chin in one hand and supporting his elbow with the other. With a calm face, he looked at the defeated army kneeling in front of him, and said softly, "Because the archers do not actively fight and do not provide cover." So you withdrew your troops on your own before I gave the order to retreat? ”
"I admit it! I've got it all! Kneeling on the ground, Zahe raised his head and shouted at Gao Yang, "I know it's not right. But I can't watch my people die in vain! The king killed me! It's all my fault! ”
The sharp arrow inserted in Zahe's body had not been pulled out at the moment, and blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth. Kneeling on the ground, he cried to Gao Yang, begging Gao Yang to spare his people.
Gao Yang lowered his eyelids slightly, listening to the cheers coming from the capital city in the distance, and was silent.
So many sergeants were waiting for Gao Yang's decision, and there was silence in all directions. Only the war horses shook their noses from time to time, and the cheers from the capital in the distance echoed in their ears.
After half a ring, Gao Yang opened his eyes, bent the corners of his mouth, and whispered to himself, "Really, I was almost moved." What are you doing so sensational? ”
The cold gaze swept over the people beside him, and said in a cold voice, "Zha He escaped from the battle, and he was immediately killed." The sergeants all obeyed his orders to retreat, and this time they were spared death. However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Twenty sticks per man to set an example. This matter is not an example! ”
After a pause, he turned his gaze to the Khitan general on the other side, pursed the corners of his mouth, and asked aloud, "As for you, what is your name?" ”
"If you go back to the king, I will call you Yelu Huicai." The Khitan general knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head to reply. There was a slight tremor in his voice. He was also scared. After all, he really did such a thing. Once detected by Gao Yang, he will also die!
"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded and said, "If you didn't do your best to fight, I won't ask." You didn't do anything wrong. ”
As soon as Gao Yang's words fell, Zahe's body suddenly trembled, and he looked sideways at Yelu Huicai on the side, his eyes were full of endless resentment and anger! In that case, wouldn't he just die in vain?! (To be continued)
