Chapter 207: Night Attack on Yanjing IV
The rapid sound of the bell, like a warm spring breeze in the middle of the night, woke up Yanjing City, and many residents had not heard the alarm bell for many years, and they poured into the street for a while to inquire about each other. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Guo Yaoshi's second echelon was originally sneaking to follow, and as soon as he saw the city gate open, he had already mounted his horse and sprinted, and when the alarm bell rang, the third echelon had already rushed towards the city gate.
The inspection department in front of the palace was the first to wake up, Yelu Manghai was inspecting the battalions because of the turmoil during the day, and he did not want any chaotic behavior. As soon as he heard the alarm bell at the south gate, he immediately returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and beat the drum of the generals.
On weekdays, I feel that this gathering drum beats fast, but today the drum is surprisingly slow, and my heart is hot. More than halfway through the drumming, only two henchmen came to the commander, and they didn't care about waiting, so they asked the two of them to rush directly to the south gate with their sergeants, and they wanted to block the enemy no matter what.
I wanted to convene the barricade army to inquire about the situation, only to know that today's Xiangguo arrest was all under the command of the generals, and ordered to isolate the inside and outside, so the barricade army did not enter the city to hand over the order. Yelu Manghai's heart is full of divine beasts, the military situation is like fire and water, there is no delay for a moment, and he is actually isolated for a whole day, is this the will of heaven?
One hundred and eight gathered to beat the drums, and finally three more commanders came, Yelu Manghai pointed to the south gate and said, "Tonight, only one death to repay Your Majesty's kindness" and rushed to the south gate with nearly a thousand men and horses, at this time the south gate has been fighting for a quarter of an hour.
With his surprise attack and brave combat effectiveness, Guo Yaoshi has already killed all the guards under the city, and he is fighting with the soldiers and guards of the Khitan tribes who heard the news.
Originally, the Liao army had a high combat effectiveness, but due to the surprise attack, many soldiers came blindly, not knowing whether they were facing the Jurchens or bandits or a coup d'Γ©tat. Therefore, he was nervous in his heart, suspicious in his actions, hesitated when he met the victorious army, and lost the best opportunity to defeat Guo Yaoshi.
Nearly 1,000 people of Guo Yaoshi have occupied the south gate tower, and have captured more than a dozen houses near the city gate, established a bridgehead, and are expanding in depth. Guo Yaoshi is in the front, Zhao Heshou, Zhang Linghui is on the left and right, as long as he holds on for a quarter of an hour, Wang Yuan's brigade can rush in, and it will definitely be done.
Although Wang Yuan said that he was determined to win, but the fine tradition of the dead Dao friend immortal poor Dao once again played a role, he did not want to rush into the city like the Chang Shengjun in one go, but stopped a stone's throw away from the city gate, and sent scouts to reconnoiter the situation
His delay, Guo Yaoshi was miserable, and the first two hundred and fifty warriors were almost consumed by the Khitans. Although five or six hundred enemies have been annihilated, there are still a large number of soldiers and civilians surging over, Guo Yaoshi looked at the few children behind him, and hurriedly contracted his defense to maintain it for the time being.
Zhao Heshou said angrily, "Big brother, what is the king of the Southern Dynasty doing to eat?" We have taken the city tower, why don't we come in to answer? β
Zhang Linghui also said depressedly, "If you don't come again, we will quit, and the three hundred brothers I brought have already lost more than 100!" β
Guo Yaoshi was also scolding his mother in his heart, these officials who eat people and don't spit out bones, the first three waves of 1,000 troops, in the face of the fierce guard force, killed and injured more than 200 people in a quarter of an hour, and if they continue to fight like this, they will be wiped out in half an hour!
However, Wang Yuan has not entered the city for a long time, and it is estimated that he still has the idea of consuming himself, letting Lao Tzu block the knife for you in vain, and you don't see if you have this score. "Hurry up and report to the king and general, the Khitan is fierce, there are only more than 300 people left in the victorious army, and I can't support it anymore, if we don't come to help, we will be driven out of the city!" Didn't you sit on a mountain and watch the tiger fight? It's always okay for labor and management to release water, depending on whether you are in a hurry.
Yelu Manghai blocked the south gate with a thousand elites at this time, Guo Yaoshi saw that it was the Khitan who was close to the guards, so he had to retreat while fighting, and more than a dozen houses soon fell into the hands of Yelu Manghai, Yelu Manghai felt that he would impact the sneak attack army of the Southern Dynasty again, and it was very likely that he would drive this group of garbage out of the city.
At the beginning of the battle at the south gate, when the bell was heard in the palace, it was learned that there was a sneak attack by the enemy, and since the capital could be attacked, the scale must be not small, and the situation must be extremely critical. Various corresponding institutions began to operate, but because the core of officials, large and small, were in the retreat hall, the efficiency was reduced.
I have to say that the process of sinicization of the Khitan people has been entrenched for a hundred years, and the Liao and Han people live together, and many links are superficial, bloated and inefficient. In the past, it had always suppressed the various tribes in the north, so the nomadic, brave, and wild temperament in the early years had long been worn out in the wine and food, silk and satin, and wind and snow.
Xiao Wangu, the commander of the guards, had the experience of making bowls at four o'clock, and he was immediately promoted to the highest level of vigilance, gathering five hundred royal guards to set up three defensive lines inside and outside the palace. Then he ran up to the retreat hall and pushed the door to break in.
He broke through and jumped the three inside, especially Li Chuwen, who almost fell to his knees and begged for mercy. When Xiao Puxian saw Xiao Wangu stepping forward, she asked, "Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, what happened outside?" β
"Queen, there are thieves at the south gate sneak attack, judging by the momentum, there are more than a thousand people, and the follow-up is unknown. Yelu Manghai has already led the inspection department to rush over, and the details should be reported soon."
When Li Chuwen heard that there were only more than 1,000 people, his posture rose again, "Xiao Wangu, how to place the palace guards?" Don't miss the righteousness, by the way, why doesn't the barricade army have any news? At such a critical moment, whoever dares to delay the military situation will be killed! β
Xiao Wangu said slowly, "It all refers to General Si Xiao Buye, who is now under review, and his subordinate officers and soldiers have been isolated from inside and outside until now, so the information is not smooth." The queen, Xiao Bu is also familiar with military strategy, brave and martial, or has a subsection, but is loyal to the Liao State, and the minister implores him to temporarily lift his review and order him to repel the enemy army! β
Where is Xiao Fengxian willing, it was not easy to defeat Xiao Buye, such a reason to come up with it, it is not so easy.
"But just a thousand thieves, you are panicked like this, you have lost the face of your ancestors, Manghai has two thousand elites, can't even a thousand thieves win? If not, take my old man's name. β
Xiao Wangu's heart was half cold, if he delayed any longer, it was likely that major changes would occur in the battle situation. Whose siege only a thousand soldiers broke in? If there is no killer move, even if you have lived for so many years in vain. But this is something that Li Chuwen can't say in front of Xiao Fengxian.
After counting the strength of Yanjing, Xiao Wangu was even more cold, Su Wei, five hundred, two thousand, two thousand, all three thousand, ten miles outside the city, there are also five thousand Han army foot soldiers stationed in the ten miles outside the city, plus the big families of each gate, Ding Huyuan, can also make up three or five thousand people, but this requires the strong will of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Empress, now that the enemy situation is unknown, the situation in Yanjing is panicked, and the minister implores to mobilize the battalion of foot soldiers and forcibly recruit the guards of various provinces in case of emergency." (To be continued.) )
