Chapter Seventy-Nine: Unable to Attack for a Long Time
Yelu Chongyuan was so frightened that he immediately covered Yelu Nerugu's mouth, waved back left and right, and then said with palpitations: "Rebel, do you want to find death?" Do you know how many spies Yelu Hongji has planted in my tribe? You actually said this, aren't you afraid that people will transfer the royal account pro-army and serve us in a pot? That kidnapping horse, I'm afraid when I think about it! ”
Yelu Nerugu also knew that he had lost his words, and slapped himself twice, but he said very unwillingly: "Then Yelu Hongji has no ability, but he occupies the throne, and his father never thought about regaining the throne?" ”
Yelu Chongyuan reprimanded: "Don't even think about this thought, how can the power that Yelu Hongji has can be seen by you, a little doll?" You still have to lead the troops well and do your duty! Don't mention this kind of thing in the future! ”
After Yelu Nerugu was reprimanded by Yelu Chongyuan, he suddenly walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and said viciously: "Pass on my military order, even if the whole army is destroyed, you will die in the city, I don't believe it, I, Yelu Nerugu, can't help a small Youzhou city!" ”
The vanguard army, which got the military order, turned the remaining Khitan cavalry into infantry and launched an attack on Youzhou City one by one.

One by one, the Khitan soldiers were smashed down, and they were dizzy and vomited blood. The Khitan soldiers who were lucky enough to get to the head of the city were less than one or two out of a hundred. But as soon as someone went up, the seemingly stable defense line of Youzhou City seemed to be a little loose.
Fortunately, Zhu Daguang took the lead, took the big knife handed to him by his own soldiers, and ran over to the Khitan soldiers who rushed to the city, shouting as he ran: "Follow me!" ”
The soldiers of the Jurchen tribe who climbed to the top of the city with great effort were about to kill, but they found that they were powerless. In a few hits, he was cut down by the border army who was not weak in martial arts, and then fell off the city, and he definitely couldn't survive.
But as soon as the gap opened, the brave Jurchen soldiers gushed out like a fountain, one by one holding a saber monster and screaming towards the border troops defending the city, Zhu Daguang was very experienced, and shouted: "Push the ladder down the city wall, don't let more enemies rush up!" ”
His own soldiers also shouted, "Push the ladder down!" ”
Suddenly, when a Shiwu frontier soldier heard this, he rushed forward as if he were not killed. These are all reserves prepared by Zhu Daguang, specially used to deal with this scene.
There were ten soldiers in this army, one of whom was a chief, all of whom were experienced in a hundred battles. Some of them are even veterans, and they all used to hold official positions. But in order to ensure the defense, Zhu Daguang transferred them all out and formed more than 20 teams, and five Shiwu were placed on the city gates in each direction, just in case.
These Shiwu fought fiercely, putting their personal life and death on the line, they were like a killing machine, even if they died, they had to pull one or two cushions. According to their words, it is "kill one to return to the capital, and kill two to earn".
With the addition of a new force, the enemy troops rushing to the city were quickly cleared, and the ladder was overturned to the ground, and no less than six enemy troops fell from the ladder. Although there is nothing to do at the bottom, the soldiers at the top are not so lucky. Youzhou City is as high as three zhang, and if you fall down at such a height, you will be crippled if you don't die.
When Yelu Nerugu saw that he had attacked the city, he was so excited that he almost jumped up, but after a while, the soldiers who rushed to the city were killed one by one, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Are they all pigs, why didn't they hold out for even a quarter of an hour?" ”
His own soldiers said disdainfully: "These Jurchens, brave is brave, but unfortunately the number is too small, and there is no cooperation, as soon as they rush up, they will fight on their own, no matter how powerful they are, they can't beat hundreds of people!" ”
In fact, they also all knew that when it came to defending the city, the Han people were 10,000 times more proficient than them, and they hurried cavalry to do infantry, although they were just as brave, wielding scimitars and howling and rushing towards Weng Cheng. But when they got under the city wall, they were extremely clumsy, and they didn't know how to fight, and many people climbed ladders even more stupid than tightrope bears, and as a result, they became a live target for the defenders. Under the dense rain of arrows, crossbow arrows and stone projectiles, they were all shot into hedgehogs. Many soldiers rushed to the city gates, and struck the city gates with striking logs under the dead ends of the arrows. The defenders on the city walls had no choice but to rely on sassal wood to attack. From time to time, boiling water was poured down, and the Khitan soldiers screamed and stomped their feet everywhere......
It has been almost five hours since this battle was fought in the early morning. The casualties on both sides were not small, but the border troops were still holding out. But the Khitan soldiers who are besieging the city are a little demoralized, and they can't attack for a long time, except for death or death, whoever is in this environment, their psychology will become a little subtle, even if they are brave, they can't exert ten percent of their strength at this moment.
There are more than 10,000 vanguard troops, and there are not many people left at this moment. Seeing that the casualties of such a refueling tactic were too great, Yelu Nerugu couldn't think of any good way. The nomads have never encountered such a battle at all, except for fighting on horseback. Even on horseback, they are just group charges, roundabout strikes, galloping and riding shots. However, the nomads' riding skills are too exquisite, even if the Han people practice for more than ten years, they can't catch up, so the field war is very disadvantaged.
Just imagine, the charging horses have incomparable impact. The average infantry, under such a group charge, was scattered at once. It's not that the Han people are not brave, it's just that the difference in the ranks of the troops has already determined the offensive and defensive positions of the two armies.
Not to mention Yelu Hongji's royal account army, all of them are kidnapping horses, that is, the often said heavy cavalry, even the horses are all Dawan horses, and they are full of power when they charge, which is not something that ordinary people can resist. Even the Mongol army, which later threatened the world, did not dare to take its edge, so it could only adopt harassment and roundabout tactics to break it.
Seeing that another day had passed, nothing was achieved except for the loss of thousands of corpses. Helpless, Yelu Nerugu ordered the braggadocio to withdraw his troops. The besieging soldiers, who were already a little frightened, heard the sound of bull horns, and they didn't care about the ladders, and they all flew back one by one. Such a meaningless war of attrition, they really don't want to fight, going up the ladder is equivalent to death and no life, the Khitans and Jurchens also have mothers and mothers, they will also be afraid of death.
The wounded soldiers left behind, but no one cared about them. The lightly injured were dragged away, and the seriously injured were wailing one by one, but no one paid attention.
In fact, at this time, the border army defending the city was already somewhat exhausted. In order not to show the enemy a flaw, they still tried their best to shoot their bows and arrows. It's just that the bow and arrow are soft and don't kill at all. After a bit of bluffing, all the border troops collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, and they didn't even have the strength to eat. The border soldiers, who shot dozens of arrows a day, had swollen arms and were red by the bowstring.
Zhu Daguang took the lead, and when he was pushing the ladder, he was cut by a brave Jurchen soldier. Fortunately, it was not critical, and there was armor on the back to resist it, and the wound was not deep, but the bleeding was still too much.
As soon as the Khitans retreated, Zhu Daguang couldn't stand it, he only felt dizzy for a while, and under the force in his hand, the big knife fell to the ground with a "dangling", which frightened his own soldiers and hurriedly called a military doctor to bandage Zhu Daguang.
Zhu Daguang took a deep breath and forced himself not to faint. He knew that he was the soul of this border army, and if he fell, Youzhou City would be gone.
