Chapter 7: Offensive and Defensive Momentum

The Liao army climbed the city wall, and the Liao army recorded the first brave and good fight, and took more than a dozen Liao troops to tear a hole to cover the Liao army behind to climb the city wall, and Pingshan Fort was in danger!

Seeing the Liao army climbing the city wall, the Zhao army began to retreat. Most of these Zhao troops had just been defeated by the Liao army, and the psychological shadow of the Liao army was still there, and they did not have the courage to fight to the death with the Liao army.

He Tengxiao rushed over with his sword, trying to drive the Liao army who had climbed the city wall off the city wall.

Bang bang bang......

Bang bang bang......

There was a burst of fried beans, and the Liao army, which had just climbed the city wall, was swept down by the bullets. He Tengxiao looked at it, and it turned out that Zhang Yuyang arrived with more than 30 soldiers from Pingshan Fort.

Liao Junlu's right leg was hit by a bullet, and he held his body with a knife to stand up. He Tengxiao rushed over and made up for the heart of the record, kicked away the corpse, and the two Liao soldiers who had just jumped on the city wall saw this and pounced on He Tengxiao, He Tengxiao waved the Pu knife to force the two Liao soldiers into the corner, and cut down one of the Liao soldiers off the city wall with a backhand.

Another Liao soldier saw that his comrades-in-arms were cut down from the city wall, and he lost his mind in anger and rushed towards He Tengxiao with a roar, eager to swallow He Tengxiao alive. He Tengxiao flashed over, swept the Liao army to the ground with one kick, and then stabbed the Liao army in the heart, and immediately blood gushed like a spring, splashing on He Tengxiao's body.

Another Liao soldier climbed up the battlements and was about to jump down when Zhang Yuyang kicked out a spear at his feet. The spear hit the chest of the Liao army, and the Liao army fell off the city wall before it could shout.

He Tengxiao rushed to the city wall and danced his knife to cut off the two crossbars at the top of the ladder car in succession, and the Liao army, who had climbed halfway, panicked when he saw that the top of the ladder car had no foothold. He Tengxiao picked up a stone and smashed it hard, and the brains of the Liao army who were hit burst out and rolled off the ladder car.

More than a dozen feather arrows flew towards He Tengxiao almost at the same time, and He Tengxiao slammed down on the ground to avoid these arrows. Two feather arrows grazed He Tengxiao's ears, He Tengxiao subconsciously touched his ears, and secretly rejoiced that his left earlobe was scratched a little skin.

The gap in the post road that the Liao army had finally tore apart was finally blocked. Zhao Jun saw that the three main officers of He Tengxiao, Ling Feng, and Zhang Yuyang all killed the enemy and collected the city regardless of their lives, and they all went out, shouting and fighting with the Liao army who climbed the city wall.

"Fuck it!" A burly Zhao Jun took the lead and shouted, "People who are officials are not afraid of anger, why don't we stinky soldiers die, people die and birds rise to the sky, and we will not die for thousands of years!" Brethren! Fight! ”

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The morale of the Zhao army was greatly boosted, and they were not afraid of the archers of the Liao army, and braved the flying arrows to lift the giant wood and overturn the roof of the Liao army's ladder car. The soldiers in front of them were shot and fell, and the soldiers who followed braved the rain of arrows to make up for it.

In the distance, there was a low and long horn sound of the Liao army, and the Zhao army was no stranger to this horn sound, which was a signal for the Liao army to retreat. The Liao army retreated in an orderly manner, and seeing the Liao army retreating, the Zhao army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Pingshan Fort was finally held.

The Zhao army temporarily held Pingshan Fort, but also paid a heavy price of 36 killed and more than 30 injured to varying degrees. The casualties of the Liao army were even heavier, with the Liao army killed the first person, and the first Liao army killed below, more than 280 Liao soldiers were killed. Coupled with the Liao army that Chafan rashly attacked Pingshan Fort and was completely annihilated by the Zhao army, the Liao army has nearly 400 soldiers killed in Pingshan Fort. Prior to this, the Liao army had not attacked a single military fort and suffered more than 100 casualties.

The Liao army realized that Pingshan Fort was a difficult bone to gnaw, and completely put away their contempt. Wanyan Haiya ordered to set up camp on the spot and prepare to attack Pingshan Fort for a long time.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

He Shihu sent 1,000 cavalry to Pingshan Fort on the way to meet Wanyan Fushen's main force in the south of Gaizhou. The Zhao army was outnumbered and repulsed by the main force of the Liao army, and only 455 of the 1,000 cavalry fled back to Gaizhou City.

Subsequently, the figure of the Liao army appeared on the outskirts of Gaizhou City. Zhao Jun on the watchtower was shocked and reported the situation to He Shihu, the general of Gaizhou.

He Shihu was extremely depressed after learning that the 1,000 cavalry rushing to the aid of Pingshan Fort encountered a large Liao army halfway and was defeated by the Liao army, and less than half of them survived proudly. However, when the Liao army approached the city of Gaizhou, He Shihu didn't feel much surprised.

He Shihu climbed the watchtower surrounded by his own soldiers, and looked into the distance from the female wall, but when he saw the Liao army's banner Yingye, he couldn't see the end at a glance. The shining armor shone in the sun, the war horses neighed their hooves, and the Liao army on the horse was murderous, as if as long as the commander gave an order, these iron horsemen would be able to level Gaizhou City.

Gaizhou has been peaceful for a long time, and the soldiers of the Liao army entering Liaodong have never touched Gaizhou in the past, unlike the places where there are many battles in northern and central Liao, and the defenders have long been accustomed to the invasion of the Liao army.

I have never seen such a large formation in Gaizhou City, and the news that the Liao army is constantly defeating the Zhao army has been rushing to the north these days. Even the elite of the Xiaocai battalion was completely annihilated by the Liao army, and the Liao army also slaughtered 60,000 Zhao soldiers on the beach in Yingzhou, and the sea water on the beach within a radius of dozens of miles was red. Fear is contagious, and after these news reached Gaizhou, it spread among the Zhao army in Gaizhou, and many Zhao soldiers were already full of fear of the Liao army before they met the Liao army.

Many soldiers in the city trembled with fright, and He Shihu saw that a Zhao soldier beside him had his legs trembling like a sieve, and kicked the Zhao soldier fiercely, "It's useless!" ”

The Liao army did not immediately attack the city, and He Shihu saw a horse running out of the military formation, galloping to the city gate with a proud horse, and asked in a loud voice, "Is He Shihu, the general of Gaizhou?!" ”

"General Ben is here! What do you have to say about the city's manchus, but it is! ”

"The fourth prince asked me to tell General He, the outnumbered have been divided, the victory or defeat has been decided, the defenders of Gaizhou will quickly surrender the city to surrender to my Da Liao, and my Da Liao army can still avoid waiting for a death, otherwise where my Da Liao army can reach, the chickens and dogs will not be left!"

The envoy of the Liao army was arrogant, and his words were full of contempt for the Zhao army.

"Bring a bow and arrows!" He Shihu looked at the arrogant Liao army envoy under the city, and his eyes almost burst into flames.

"General, no!" A thousand households beside He Shihu stopped He Shihu, "The two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy, if I wait to kill the Liao army, I will have no room for maneuver between the army and the Liao army in Gaizhou City, and I hope the general will think twice!" ”

"You still want to have a maneuver with Manyu?!" He Shihu stared coldly at the thousand households, and the foreheads of the thousands of households stared at by He Shihu were sweating, and they didn't dare to wipe their heads, let alone look directly into He Shihu's angry eyes.

"General, the little ones don't dare." The thousand households were about to defend themselves a few words, and He Shihu had already pulled out his waist knife, raised the knife in his hand, and beheaded the thousand household officials who were afraid of the enemy like a tiger.

After killing the officials of a thousand households, He Shihu bent his bow and arrow, and an arrow hit the throat of the Liao envoy. The Liao envoy glanced at the city in disbelief, and fell under the horse with his eyes open. The horses were frightened and ran back to the Liao army camp.

"Gaizhou City, people are in the city, people are dead in the city, if anyone takes a step back, I He Shihu will recognize you, but Da Zhao Junlu and the knife in my hand will not recognize you!"

"Fourth Prince, Zhao Jun shot our envoy." Guaerha, the leader of the Liao army, opened the military account and reported to Wanyan Fushen.

"The He family's bones are quite hard." Wan Yan smiled cautiously. The Xiao cavalry battalion dealt a heavy blow to the Liao army in Yingzhou, and the Zhengnan army hit a nail in Pingshan Fort, and the Gaizhou guard general He Shihu had such a tough attitude towards the Liao army, he underestimated the He family before the war. Thinking of the scene where Wanyan Haiya was reckless and more than 10,000 elite horsemen in Gaizhou, and the bloody battle took two days and two nights before the hard bone of the Xiaocai Battalion was gnawed, Wanyan Fushen faintly felt that he wanted to fight a hard battle.

"Liaoyang City and other strong cities can be taken by my big Liao army, and the four princes of small cities like Gaizhou City don't need to worry too much, it's only a matter of time before they are taken." Guaerhadao.

"Zhao Jun won't give us that much time, and I don't know how the third prince is doing now." Wan Yan said cautiously, "Pass the order, and prepare to attack the city immediately!" ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Lord Hyakho, look!" At the head of Pingshan Fort, a Zhao army pointed to the Liao army in the distance.

He Tengxiao dragged his tired body to stand up, and when he raised his eyes, the Liao army had already set up dozens of giant stone throwers. The stone-throwing machine was so large that manpower could no longer pull such a large stone-throwing crossbow, and the Liao army drove more than a dozen oxen and horses to pull the stone-throwing machine.

The Liao army spent such a large amount of manpower and material resources, and used such a large stone throwing machine, which shows the Liao army's determination to take Pingshan Fort!

The Liao army leader who was in charge of commanding the stone throwing machine nodded to Wan Yan Haiya, signaling that all the stone throwing machines were ready. The Liao army used the artillery of the captured Zhao army to bombard Pingshan Fort without much success, and turned to the traditional siege weapon of the Liao army - giant stone throwing machine!

"Achille, after the stone thrower smashed a gap in the city wall, you immediately rushed in with the Great Liao warriors through the gap." Wan Yan Haiya frowned and looked at Pingshan Fort, and said with hatred, "After taking the military fort, immediately slaughter the fort and raze this military fort to the ground!" ”

The Liao army had more than 400 casualties in the attack on Pingshan Fort, which greatly exceeded the number of casualties that the Liao army could bear. A month ago, the Liao army attacked a big city like Shenzhou, and the number of casualties was only more than 700. This is a great shame for Wanyan Haiya.

Achiller is the same age as Wanyan Haiya, he has been fighting with the army since he was twelve years old, and he has made great achievements in the army for eight years, and at the age of twenty, he has more than 200 first-level Zhao military exploits. Achille has a thirst for killing, and has served Yan Haiya since he led the troops to fight, and served as Yan Haiya's personal soldier.

"The last general obeys!" Achille gave a military salute to Wan Yan Haiya, and with a big hand, the 1,000 Liao army iron cavalry behind him was ready to go. Achille looked at Pingshan Castle not far away, and his eyes revealed a fierce wolf like a fierce wolf that was very inappropriate for his age.

"Put!" Wanyan Haiya pulled out his sword and pointed at Pingshan Fort, his eyes were red, this kind of expression was only seen by his subordinates when Yingzhou led the army to fight with the Xiaocai battalion. The defenders of Pingshan Fort have already angered Wan Yan Haiya, and Wan Yan Haiya has already killed Red Eyes.

The soldier who heard the order waved his thick arms and beat the drum, and the drum beat sounded like thunder. This is the signal of the Liao army to release the stone-throwing crossbow, and behind the stone-throwing crossbow is a multi-poised Liao army iron cavalry, ready to step on Pingshan Fort at any time.

Dozens of giant stone-throwing crossbows were released in unison, and one by one the boulders smashed into the city wall of Pingshan Fort like raindrops. The boulder fell on the city wall, and the people on the wall could feel the entire military fort trembling......
