Chapter 366 The World's Strong Soldiers Five
Puluhu's killing in Gubeikou two days ago caused corpses to be strewn all over the field, and the corpses were eaten by mosquitoes and wolves, and they were already in pieces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that the weather is hot, the stench of corpse decay is coming, and the Jurchen cavalry also wrapped their mouths and noses with cloth towels and quickly passed through the Gubei Pass.
Zong Bi pointed to the Jingguan surrounded by mosquitoes and flies outside the Gubeikou barrier, and said to Zongwang, "Puluhu is not bad, you can easily take Gubeikou?" ”
Zong Wang snorted, "I'm more worried, this muddy boy doesn't know the height of the sky, and he feels that the Liao army is vulnerable, and he will cause a big disaster when he arrives in Danzhou." ”
Zong Bi smiled and said, "He is an innocent doll, he really lacks experience, and Wu Qimai has just taken power, so it is inevitable that he will be perverse." You and I should rush over as soon as possible, lest there be any accidents, and it will not look good when I go back to Beijing."
Zong Wang urged the horse forward, walked a long way, and turned his head to look at Jingguan again. I thought in my heart, if this Khitan is so sparse, it may not be impossible to go straight down to Yanjing and look south at the Great Song Dynasty.
Zong Wang's prediction was not bad, Puluhu really ran outside the city of Danzhou and plundered ten miles and eight townships, intending to lure the Liao army into battle. Xiao Kun, the capital of Danzhou City, is Xiao Gan's brother, who has defended the city for many years and has an extremely stable temperament.
Xiao Kun was shocked by the fall of Gubeikou, and he didn't know whether the Jurchens were a small stream or a vanguard invasion, so he hurriedly sent a barricade army to find out the news. That night, the barred army was eighty miles away, and did not find out the news of the brigade's advance.
Xiao Kun concluded that Puluhu was alone and had no backup, and decided to eat them to avenge the martyrdom of Gubeikou. That night, Xiao Kun personally led 800 cavalry to encircle and suppress more than 100 Puluhu, Puluhu's personal guards were all fierce and not afraid of death, both sides were determined to win, and they fought until dawn, without winning or losing.
But at dawn, Xian also sent 200 cavalry to help Puruhu.
Xiao Kun didn't expect this team to have such a strong combat effectiveness, and they still fought in the middle of the night, if the two Jurchen soldiers and horses joined forces, he would suffer a loss, so he took more than 500 cavalry to return to the city.
The rise of Puluhu was killing, and then he led his troops to cover up and kill, and chased until the city of Danzhou before stopping. The personal guards of Puluhu lost more than 40 people, and the battle losses of both sides were 1 to 8.
Puruhu's personal guards were all veterans, and they were more courageous than ordinary soldiers. If it was a daytime battle, just a hundred guards would be enough to defeat Xiao Kun's eight hundred cavalry.
Pu Luhu, who received reinforcements, not only refused to leave, but vowed to take Xiao Kun's head to pay tribute to the fallen guards.
As a result, more than 200 Jurchen soldiers intensified their wreaking havoc on their neighbors, and robberies and arson occurred repeatedly. All the villages that resisted a little were slaughtered, and Xiao Kun was forced to go out of the city for a decisive battle by means of terror.
Witnessing all this at the head of the city all day, some soldiers in the Liao army couldn't look past it, so they petitioned Xiao Kun and swore to kill this Jurchen beast army.
Due to the anger of the masses, Xiao Kun knew that if he continued to suppress it, there might be a military rebellion, which would be even more detrimental to the city defense. He planned to encircle Puluhu with 8,000 Liao troops on all sides, and avenged the people who died.
Pu Luhu is energetic and arrogant, he was attacked by Xiao Kun the night before yesterday, and he lost half of his personal guards. So when Xiao Kun's 8,000 army came over, Puluhu's heart was full of joy and excitement.
Kill south!
Pu Luhu took the lead, rushed out, first routed the 2,000 Liao troops on the southern front, and then looked for opportunities to defeat the other roads. The victory of one to thirty is in line with his identity as the pride of the sky.
Two hundred and fifty Jurchens are proficient in equestrianism and good at fighting. In addition, he is stout and tall, and he uses all kinds of long and blunt weapons, which is completely a work of strength. Dealing with Khitan soldiers who are accustomed to living a stable life is tantamount to killing monsters.
Like a steamroller driving past, the Jurchen soldiers rushed through the Liao army's formation, leaving a road of flesh and blood. When Puruhu turned the horse's head and attacked again, it was bloody again. The third time they rushed through the battle, the Liao army on the southern front, which lost as many as 800 men, could not bear it and fled to the north.
Pu Luhu took a rough look, there were still about 220 people, and finally defeated one, caught up with it, covered up the killing, and captured more than 200 heads. Taking advantage of the high morale, Puluhu decided to attack the Liao army on the Western Front.
The Liao army on the western front directly set up a formation, using bows, arrows and spears to form a defensive formation, and strictly defended it without moving an inch. Although Puluhu killed and injured a part of the Liao army by projectile, he had no chance to take advantage of it, so he could only attack the Liao army on the northern front.
In this way, Puluhu took a bite in the east and a claw in the west between the three Liao armies, and although he killed and injured nearly four or five hundred Liao troops, he also lost more than 20 people. Due to the Liao army's formation and slow advance, Puluhu couldn't do anything about them for a while.
The Jurchen soldiers ran and fought for several hours, and their physical strength had reached the limit, and there was not much point in delaying it any longer.
Xiao Kun had already prepared the strategy of joining forces to encircle him, changing the encirclement on all sides to encircling three ques, fighting Puluhu, and consuming Puluhu's vitality little by little. Now that you see that the Jurchens are running out of energy, they must be in urgent need of rest, so how can it be as you wish!
Fight!
Fifteen hundred Khitan cavalry are sending an invitation to Puluhu to fight.
Although Pu Ruhu knew that the two hundred people behind him were almost at the limit, his brain was hot, and he still gave the order, "Fight!" ”
It was another cavalry battle, although the Jurchen soldiers were strong and strong, but they couldn't stand the Khitans.
In the first charge, the Puthu had thirty fewer horsemen; The second time he charged, there were thirty less; After killing six hundred Liao troops, only one hundred and forty exhausted cavalry remained, panting with the enraged Puruhu.
Xiao Kun saw that Pu Luhu had already been tricked, and laughed and said, "Today is your death!" ”
Wave the flag and order the three armies to march quietly and surround Puruhu and others.
In this way, Pulu Hu knew that the battle was not a fight, and although he scored a high score of 1 to 20, as long as the opponent killed himself, the victory belonged to the Liao army in Danzhou.
One hundred and forty Jurchen cavalry, five thousand Liao army foot cavalry, Pu Luhu felt a little heavy for the first time, and the soldiers behind him were a little bent, obviously tired.
What to do? Three-year-old children know the results of consumption. The Liao army will inevitably use the shield array composed of spears and giant shields to advance inward step by step, and they will inevitably die on the spot.
He regretted a little that he didn't listen to Zong Wangzong Bi's words, even if he was born brave, it was impossible to fight 10,000 people. looked at the Jurchen cavalry behind him, and sighed, "It's my carelessness that has hurt you!" ”
Hairido immediately stood up and said, "Little prince, don't say that, it's all the fault of your subordinates." Don't worry, we're going to send you out even if we die, and if you run north after you go out, you'll meet our reinforcements. ”
Hailiduo raised his slightly sour arm and asked loudly, "It's the man who follows me, protects the little prince and kills it, and let the Khitan dog see, are we girls really girls!" ”
Puruhu mechanically followed them and rushed forward, and along the way, the Jurchen warriors fell from their horses, and tears almost blurred Puruhu's eyes. Until there was no obstacle in front, knowing that he had broken through, he ran desperately north.
And Herido took the remaining dozen cavalry and reflexively killed back. I vaguely heard him say, "Little prince, I'll go and block the Khitan dog, and ask the old prince on my behalf!" (To be continued.) )
