Chapter 139: White Blade Battle
On the pass, no Liyu begged a group of people to inspect, and many generals complained: "General, look at it, how many days have it been." They shouted during the day and beat drums at night. All the officers and men of our army are restless and listless."
"General, please give me an order, let me lead the troops and horses of my headquarters to go out of the customs to drive away this group of annoying flies."
"It's not a way for the general to go on like this. As long as you give an order, we are willing to go out and kill him without leaving ......."
After listening to their complaints, Ye Liyu pointed to the pass and laughed: "You feel that they are flies, and they are annoying. But Ben will laugh at them, if it is not a last resort, why use these vile measures. I'm afraid that the enemy generals will be more anxious than us at this time."
"What the general said makes sense, they make theirs, and we sleep ours".
"If they really have the ability, why should they use these indiscriminate methods."
"If they really have the ability, they can attack it. We are not afraid of them."
Ye Li Yuqi faced this group of generals and directly ordered, "We will rest normally from tonight onwards, and watch them clowns who jump off the beam, and what kind of drama they sing."
"The last general will wait for the order ......". This group of generals obeyed the order one after another, and followed Yeli Yuqi to continue to inspect the pass.
At night, Yang Fan led a group of generals to Liu Sheng's tent: "General, we are ready."
"Ah Fu, I'll give you three hundred soldiers. Don't have any problems here." Liu Sheng turned his head to Jia Fu beside him and instructed.
Jia Fu patted his chest and hurriedly promised: "Brother Sheng, you can rest assured." I promise to make them, feel like here, it's business as usual."
After half an hour, Yang Fan asked the soldiers to wear thin clothes, take ropes and daggers, and secretly climb the mountain. Tonight we are going to have a race to the death in the cold wind." Liu Sheng saw that Jia Fu was fine, and then ordered Yang Fan. Now for three days in a row, the time is ripe. It's also time to get moving.
Half an hour later, Liu Sheng dressed in thin clothes and began to secretly climb the mountain with his soldiers. Jia Fu looked at the empty camp, three hundred soldiers stood in front of him, calculated the time, nodded, and motioned to start moving.
The drumming outside the pass came as promised, and the soldiers in the pass smiled when they heard it. With a long sigh of relief, he yawned and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, the enemy soldiers were asleep. Liu Sheng led the army to climb down from the mountain, and sure enough, the pass was inward, without the slightest defense. At the time of departure, the whole army numbered more than 4,700 men. Although I had made all kinds of precautions beforehand, I could still be in the process of climbing the mountain. There were still more than 200 people who fell down the mountain and were crushed to pieces. The name of the nameless mountain range is indeed worthy of its name.
Liu Sheng and Yang Fan glanced at each other, and the two beckoned at the same time. The army split into two and rushed into the pass. A knife fell on an enemy soldier and lost his life in his sleep. There were lucky Western Xia soldiers who crawled out and cried loudly.
A Western Xia soldier hurriedly ran into Yeli Yuqi's residence: "General, run, there are enemies coming from the rear of the pass, and countless soldiers are dying in their sleep."
"Suffered, bombed the camp". At this time, there was a wailing sound outside, and Ye Liyu couldn't bother to freshen up, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out. Seeing that the soldiers outside trampled on each other for their lives, there were countless tramples, knowing that the matter was irreparable, he hurriedly took his own soldiers and fled to Yucheng.
"Bump ......". At this moment, Jia Fu broke open and closed the city gate, and three hundred cavalry came from the outside. The Western Xia soldiers didn't care about weapons, armor, horses, and grain and grass, so they ran away one by one, and rushed towards the jade city as if they were desperate.
A strange scene appeared under the pass. Countless Western Xia soldiers in front of them, or **** upper body, or wearing pajamas, ran wildly all the way. Among them, there are not a few people who were trampled and trampled to death by their own people. And after them, Liu Sheng and Yang Fan took thousands of people, dressed in thin clothes and armed with daggers, and began to chase and kill. Both sides are running desperately, and the destination is Jade City. The first one wins, the winner lives, and the loser dies.
The sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and the Western Xia soldiers only felt their scalps tingle. Jia Fu rode over on horseback, leading two horses on the left and right: "Brother Sheng, Yang Fan, you get on the horse quickly."
The Yeli jade beggar at the front finally ran into the jade city and breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly summoned the generals who defended the city and climbed to the top of the city wall. When the last one, the Western Xia soldier, ran into the city. Drink the defenders and close the city gates. Just wait for the breath to come and kill again.
Liu Sheng, Jia Fu, and Yang Fan chased all the way to the moat. The drawbridge was retracted, and the gates were closed. I didn't have time to think about it, and directly ordered the whole army to attack the city.
One soldier felt the joy of this battle, and couldn't help but take off his shirt and jump into the moat. Intended to swim across the river and climb the city walls.
The Western Xia soldiers in the city, when had they seen such a fierce army, remembered the scene of running for their lives just now, and a trace of fear quietly spread.
"Quickly release the arrows ......". Ye Liyu begged to see this group, and the enemy army who did not want to die was in a hurry. The archers in the city only felt weak. Sparse arrows were shot down from the city
Gradually, countless soldiers swam across the moat and began to climb the city walls. Ye Li Yuqi was anxious and angry, and shouted at the city at the top of his voice: "Listen to the enemy generals on the other side, do you have the courage to wait for a while when we open the city gate and fight a dignified battle outside the moat."
"Brother Sheng is not convinced, and wants to make an appointment with you in an upright manner." Jia Fu looked at the angry appearance of Ye Liyu in the city and laughed.
Yang Fan saw that the defenders in the city had no morale, and he was relieved: "The general doesn't need to pay attention to it, at this time, this city will be broken."
"No, if you continue to attack, I am afraid that the extremes of things will be reversed. so that they may form a force of mourning". Liu Sheng hurriedly rejected Yang Fan's suggestion and decided to give them a glimmer of hope. Come to fight with dignity and make them convinced.
Yang Fan felt that there was no need to take risks at this time, so he hurriedly continued to convince him: "General, ......."
"They have no morale, and what are we afraid of? Order the troops to be collected, make way for them to assemble, and we will have a fight in a dignified manner." Liu Sheng hurriedly waved his hand, and shouted to the city wall after speaking: "Okay, I'll collect my troops now, and I'll fight with you in a dignified manner, and see what else you have to say."
"Okay, good, good, as long as you collect your troops, I will go out of the city and assemble immediately." Ye Li Yuqi almost didn't believe his ears, the other party must be stunned. In his heart, he was crazy with joy.
The sound of gold sounded, and the Western Xia soldiers on the city wall also stopped firing arrows at the same time. One by one, the soldiers jumped back into the moat and swam back.
Liu Sheng led the soldiers back for a distance, and after a while, Ye Liyu opened the city gate and lowered the drawbridge. A Western Xia soldier gathered tremblingly.
The two armies set up their respective positions, looking at each other from a distance, and Ye Liyu begged to count the number of people, wanting to cry without tears. Originally, Yuguan and Yucheng had a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses, but no matter how you look at it at this time, there are only 35,000 people, and they are obviously frightened by the other side.
Liu Sheng saw Ye Liyu on the opposite side nodding slightly, and ordered the whole army to attack with drums. The two armies fought, and the shouts of killing were deafening. There were soldiers who ran back from Yuguan. I can't hold back anymore, the fear in my heart. From the battlefield, he pulled his legs and ran back. This move spread like a plague, and countless Yuguan soldiers, wrapped up in the defenders of Yucheng, fled back.
Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. Liu Sheng took advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy the Jade City. On the city wall, Yang Fan looked at the Western Xia soldiers who were running wildly, and asked puzzledly: "General, our army is like a rainbow at this time, and killing them is like mowing grass mustard." Why don't you give the order and pursue the victory, but instead stagnate in this city".
"From last night until this time, our sergeants have long been physically exhausted, but they have only relied on a bloody courage. Pursue at this time, to be meaningless". After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the city.
A soldier sat on the ground on all fours, gasping for air. At this time, they woke up like a dream, and their hearts were terrified. Jia Fu looked at the soldiers in front of him, and a sense of tiredness came to his heart: "Brother Sheng, who knows, in fact, we have long been at the end of the strong crossbow."
"Otherwise, when the two armies meet, the brave wins. Yang Fan, you sent someone to inform Yang Yong, and now the way back is clear. Before Li Hao reacted, he quickly evacuated Lingzhou. After returning to Xiazhou, we are making plans." Liu Sheng looked at the scene in front of him and understood that it was not safe at this time, so he quickly informed Yang Yong to return.
Yang Fan received the order, went down and ordered the fast horse, and flew to report to Yang Yong. Liu Sheng looked at Yang Fan who was far away and sighed in his heart. Let go of the Western Xia soldiers, just because. At this time, the existence of Western Xia had more advantages than disadvantages for the imperial court.
