263. The Teacher of Benevolence and Righteousness from the Central Plains (50 monthly passes plus changes)
Liaoyang City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a city built on the basis of the ancient city of Xiangping in the Qin and Han dynasties, and when it came to Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan people mistakenly thought it was Liaoyang City, so it was named after Liaoyang. Since then, mistakes have been wrong, and the name Liaoyang has been passed down. In Liao, the city is called Tokyo, although it is not as prosperous as the real Tokyo Bianliang, but it is also an important city in Liao, with a large population, a prosperous economy, and a mix of ethnic groups.
However, Liaoyang is not the homeland of the Bohai Sea, and the Bohai people here are not natives, they moved here after the Liao destroyed the Bohai Sea, and there are naturally deep contradictions with the Han people who lived here before.
The rampant conquest of the Khitans also increased this contradiction, and now the Bohai people are proud, and they have to take the Khitan people in the city.
Once the butcher's knife is raised, it is difficult to put it down, first the Khitan nobles, then the Khitan ordinary people, and then, the non-Bohai people, all the races, they will all enter the blood pool.
Therefore, the current Liaoyang City has become lifeless under the looting and atrocities.
In the palace, the original Imperial Palace, which is Gao Yongchang's current residence, in his so-called "palace", suddenly jumped up from the bed, panting violently.
The beautiful limbs on the bed made him realize that he was not in a nightmare, but returned to his palace. Outside the door, at least dozens of guards protected him, which reassured him.
The rain is still falling, this continuous autumn rain has become his biggest barrier, if it weren't for this rain, the Jurchens would definitely attack the city directly, instead of retreating to Shenzhou first.
What to do, is it still necessary to ...... Get down on your knees and bend your knees to survive?
Gao Yongchang touched the scar on his face, which was left by the Khitan nobles with a whip when he took refuge in Da Liao. One time is enough to bend the knee to survive, and now I have killed enough people, slept with enough beauties, and has the fate of tens of thousands of relatives...... Never bend your knee again!
After making up his mind, he pressed over to the beauty on the bed again.
The beauty was awakened, but she didn't dare to speak, not even cry.
However, a sharp scream made Gao Yongchang stop his movements.
"What's going on?" He got up and put on his armor, and the beautiful woman got up, knelt down beside him, and put it on for him.
In the midst of such chaos, if you don't have a little eyesight, you will die a long time ago.
"I don't know, it's the south of the city." Outside the guard.
"Seongnam ......"
The Jurchens went to Shenzhou instead, it was in the north of Liaoyang, and the one who appeared in the south of the city at this time should not be the Jurchens, so who would it be?
Gao Yongchang is murderous, as long as he is not a Jurchen, there is nothing to fear, it may be the remnants of the Han and Khitan people in the city, or it may be the remnants of the Liao State from the south...... In front of his army of nearly 10,000 people, these are nothing!
South of Liaoyang City.
Hearing the screams of the city, although Zhou Quan's face remained unchanged, he secretly scolded his mother in his heart.
After they left Suzhou, they first passed through the Hashan Pass of the Great Wall of Liao, which was no longer defended, and then marched to the foot of Liaoyang City. Fortunately, there were preparations made by Yelu Mago along the way, and all the way was smooth, until he came to Liaoyang City.
"Where is the artillery?" He looked back and asked in a low voice.
"The mud is deep in the rain, the gun carriage is heavy, and there are still thirty miles!" Ye Chu replied.
Thirty miles, it seems that the artillery will not be able to catch up with this battle. In fact, even if the artillery can catch up, it is not of much use, this is a rainy day, and the bronze artillery at this time is simply not able to fight in the rain.
What can hope is the special forces team led by Li Bao.
The 200 special combat teams selected from tens of thousands of people are a sharp weapon in Zhou Quan's hands.
Their equipment and treatment are far better than those of Class A guards, and the money for one special combat team guard is enough to support three Class A guards.
The three-zhang high city wall is not an insurmountable obstacle for the special combat team, and they practice a lot in ordinary training. Taking advantage of the darkness of the rainy night, Li Bao personally led the team and successfully climbed the wall from the south gate of Liaoyang.
But what should have been a silent action elicited a scream of exclamation, which was soon stopped, but in the silence of the night, it was enough to be heard by the Bohai people in the city.
Listening to the sound, the screaming did not happen at the head of the city, but further inside the city, and I don't know why it happened.
Knock, knock!
Two black things fell from the city, but they were two corpses, and then the winch creaked, and the drawbridge was lowered.
This made Zhou Quan breathe a sigh of relief, he glanced at Ye Chu, Ye Chu understood, waved his hand behind him, and a battalion of men and horses immediately stepped forward.
As they crossed the suspension bridge, the south gate of Liaoyang City was also opened.
At this time, Liaoyang had already woken up from the silence, Ye Chu was the first to pass through the city gate, and Li Bao was the first to be confronted, the two glanced at each other, and then tilted their heads as if the other party did not exist.
"Safety!" Ye Chu's suppressed voice came.
Zhou Quan also took the second battalion to the suspension bridge, and when he entered the city gate, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
"It is said that Liaoyang is one of the cities that can be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, and now it is ...... How does this look like this? ”
"Judging by the situation, it should have been a disaster not long ago...... Hey, it doesn't taste right, it smells rancid......"
In Liaoyang City, there is a faint smell of rancidity, which is no stranger to everyone, it is the smell of corpses.
Holding the torch high, Ye Chu took a few steps forward, and then took a breath of cold air.
On both sides of the road, there were many wooden pillars, and on each wooden pillar, a corpse was tied.
Each corpse was either headless or disemboweled, and the cause of death varied, but the scars all over the body testify to the extreme pain and suffering they suffered before they died.
There are young people, there are old people, and there are children.
"Damn, those Bohai people should have done it!"
Yelu Mago was furious, a considerable number of these people had hairstyles that could be identified as Khitans!
Not only the Khitans, but also the Han people, and some people of other races. Zhou Quan glanced at it, his face was gloomy, his northern hunt this time, saving Yu Liyan was one purpose, and another purpose was to obtain as much population as possible.
If you want to get a large number of people in a short period of time, the city that gathers is the best target, so Zhou Quan has high hopes for Liaoyang City, and the massacre of the Bohai people has made his high hopes come to naught.
Originally, he thought that he could take away at least twenty or thirty thousand Han people from Liaoyang City!
"Da Lang, look!"
Li Bao suddenly half-protected Zhou Quan and pointed in one direction.
Zhou Quan looked there, but saw a soldier lying under a pillar, the soldier was still bleeding, obviously dead not long ago, and the body that should have been tied to the pillar was gone.
He looked around again, and saw a figure trembling in the shadows.
Before Zhou Quan could say anything, a sergeant had already stepped forward and dragged the figure out.
But it was a woman.
The woman was still holding a corpse tightly in her hands, and it looked like it should be her father.
She held her head up, her eyes lit up with purple light under the torches, and she looked crazy and dangerous.
"Who are you?" Zhou Quan stepped forward and said, "This soldier, you killed it?" ”
The woman was a little untidy, because Zhou Quan stepped forward, she grabbed her neckline and shrank back.
Maybe it was because of the cool autumn, maybe it was because of the rain, she was a little trembling, biting her lip so hard that even the blood was printed, but she just didn't speak.
Zhou Quan sighed slightly, from this woman's eyes, he saw stubbornness and fear, but he did not give in.
"I didn't have time to ask more, so I took her aside...... Damn, it should have been her who killed the soldier, and then she let out a miserable scream, alarming the people in the city, everyone is ready to fight, this battle, I want Gao Yongchang's first achievement! ”
Zhou Quan raised his voice and said, this city has been ruined like this by Gao Yongchang, even if this person has a thousand skills and all kinds of hardships, Zhou Quan has made up his mind to take his life.
With his order, the troops began to move forward, and at this moment, the woman who was dragged away by the guards suddenly shouted: "Han, you are Han? ”
"Yes!" It was Li Bao who dragged her away, and Li Bao answered in a low voice.
Pushed the woman aside, and without waiting for Li Bao to say anything, he heard a shouting voice in front of him, followed by the sound of a buzzing bowstring!
On rainy days, the bow and arrow are unfavorable, and if the string is stained with water, the power will be greatly reduced, but the Bohai people do not know what the identity of the enemy is, and in their panic, they do not care about discarding the bow, and shoot directly over.
"Rush through!" Without waiting for Zhou Quan's order, Ye Chu roared angrily.
"Steel crossbow cover!"
"Kill me!"
The generals gave orders to their subordinates, and the woman watched as the Han army dispersed in the shortest possible time, looking chaotic, but they did not show panic. When she opened her mouth to speak, she heard a faint sound in the air, and before she could react, Li Bao pushed her hard, she rolled on the ground, and then saw where she was, a stray arrow from nowhere shot on Li Bao's breastplate, and then was bounced off by the steel armor and nailed into the dirt, and the tail feathers were still trembling slightly.
She was dressed in linen, and the arrow did not hurt anyone in armor, but it was fatal to her.
She wanted to thank the sergeant who saved her life, but she saw that the other party had already raised a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and slammed into her direction again. She closed her eyes in fright, feeling the wind blow past her, and there was a thud, and there was a thud of something falling behind her.
She turned around, but at some point, several Bohai soldiers came out behind her, and Li Bao's shield smashed on the person she led by, smashing this person to the ground, and the other hand knife also slashed through the shoulder armor of a Bohai soldier!
Immediately afterwards, more sergeants rushed forward, and those Bohai soldiers, like a leaf in a big river, were swallowed up in an instant.
She was a little dazed and looked at the leader of this strange Han army: "You guys...... Is it an officer and soldier? ”
It can't be officers and soldiers, although there are Song troops in Liao, but their status is low, how can they be like these people in front of them, all of them are wearing armor, and the Song army of Liaoguo is a servant army, and they have lost their backbone to serve foreign races, how can they have such a high-spirited and energetic temperament?
"Great Song officers and soldiers?" Her heart jumped and she asked in surprise.
"Stay here, be careful." Zhou Quan threw down a sentence and rushed forward with a knife.
His guards followed, and in an instant, the woman was left behind. She looked at the back of this army, as far as she knew, no army would be like the sergeant just now, in order to save her, an irrelevant woman, almost with his body to block the arrows for her!
"A teacher of benevolence and righteousness from the Central Plains...... It must be a benevolent and righteous teacher from the Central Plains! She thought to herself. (To be continued.) )
