Chapter 316: Rush to the aid of Ulju

"The Liao army is a rabble, and a Ulzhou stays behind Zheng Heng, what can I do? Those who hesitated, before our Jurchen army was mighty, forced them with a large army, and naturally changed! Ceres, you came very well, this credit is indispensable to you, the day after tomorrow a certain mobilized troops and horses, stormed the city of Ulzhou, let them know, if you don't leave this city, I will never leave this place! ”

Wanyan Xiyin probably knew that Yin Keshu said that he came very well, naturally there were reinforcements from the north, no matter how many, he always grew stronger, and there was a lot of strength in Ulzhou City, where he knew that the three states of Wuru were quite stretched, Ulzhou was not down, the passage was not smooth, and he would never go south with a large army, and if he could come hundreds, he would naturally be able to come tens of thousands! The momentum was enough to shake the defenders of the city.

But Yin Keshu actually wanted to use these less than two thousand Jurchen military horses to attack such a strong city!

Wanyan Xiyin suddenly said angrily: "Yin Keshu, do you want to gamble with the lives of Jurchen men?" I will not allow you to do that! Unless I die! ”

Yin Keshu smiled coldly, and pointed to the Jurchen military horses that drove them, and the people of Ulzhou who were struggling in the snow were densely packed in the snow, and I was afraid that there would be no two or three thousand people.

"There are endless Nanban cattle, fill them with their lives! Tomorrow, more than 1,000 captured slaves will be driven, and it is best for these thousands of people to die under the city of Ulzhou, see if their bones can fill in the road out! If it is not enough, a certain army horse will be sent to catch it...... See how many lives it takes, the bird in the city of Ulzhou will lose its courage if it stays behind, and see which people will open the city and bow down in front of the hooves of our Jurchen army! Since Zong Han is waiting for a certain to take Ulzhou, how can a certain disappoint Zong Han! Ceres, you just look at it! ”

Wanyan Xiyin laughed dryly: "If you don't fight for the life of the Jurchen Erlang, it will naturally be up to you." ”

Yin Keshu didn't answer again, and looked at Ulzhou, surnamed Zheng, who wanted to be rich. It's up to you to do it, and then postpone it, and wait for a certain southern barbarian to fill up Ulzhou with a dead southern barbarian, and you will not fall into the hands of a certain person in battle, but cheaper.

If it can bring about chaos in the city. Welcome the army into the city, then what you want, so-and-so will give you! He flicked his cloak and ordered loudly: "Pass the order, Zonghan's army is about to go south!" This land is already Jurchen's! ”

The cheers rang out outside the city, and the stout Jurchen armor soldier waved the weapon in his hand, let go of his throat, and howled like a pack of wolves. The shouts hit the head of Ulju City, making everyone on the city walls seem to be on their feet.

In the snow outside the city, a group of Jurchen military horses, about hundreds of horsemen, were coming from the north and entering the military fortress outside the city, and the Jurchen military horses besieging the city followed the reinforcements, cheering and jumping. There are even light horsemen who force the city to show off, shouting loudly in the Jurchen language. It's nothing more than intimidating words.

Looking at these reinforcements from the north, everyone on the city wall had an ugly face, whether it was from the Khitan people or the Han people in Ulzhou, they were all directly led by Zheng Heng, and they were all in one place at the head of the city. However, dozens of people from Zheng Heng's department were on duty, and there were 2,400 people in the seven battalions of Zheng Heng's department, about 500 of whom were guarding the main city, and more than 400 were scattered in the small fort guarding the main city.

The remaining 1,500 men were also on duty on the city wall in turn, and at every moment or so, twice as many soldiers and horses from other battalions were watching, either overt or covert. At this moment at the head of the city, these dozens of military men looked at each other, and one of them muttered to the people around him in a low voice: "Straight lady thief, the Jurchen army is so big, how can this Ulzhou still be defended?" Is it just here to die? ”

The night was low, and dark clouds piled up in the night sky, pressing down on the city. The starlight was so invisible that the cold wind whined and whined inside and outside the city, and this night, I couldn't see my fingers, and only the fires burning on the castles at the head of the city reflected the snowflakes that fluttered and rolled down in the air.

This early spring turned out to be unprecedentedly long, the city wall was heavily guarded, the sergeants patrolling back and forth were frosted in their armor, and the soldiers on duty on the battle positions surrounded the brazier to keep warm, and no one was in the mood to talk and chat, only the sound of everyone stomping their feet and being cold.

From time to time, some people looked at the continuous fire outside the city, and everyone's mood was as icy as the weather outside, and two miles away from the city, there were a lot more military tents, but it was the Jurchen military horses from the north who came to the aid to join the siege team.

Now there are bonfires burning here and there in the camp, and sparks erupt from time to time. Those fierce and powerful Jurchen armor warriors either rested in the tent, or sat around the bonfire to talk and laugh. Some Jurchen soldiers roasted a fire for a while and drank some cheese wine to keep warm, then turned over and got on their horses, disappeared into the darkness, and patrolled around to be on guard.

Such a military horse camp seems to be scattered, but in fact it is extremely heavily guarded, no one wants to go out at night, steal the camp and rob the village, outside the camp, it is the Jurchen captive people to live and earn their lives.

At this time, in the Jurchen camp, there was suddenly a restless sound, two thousand horses were from the Jurchen captives, rushed over, the leader was a strong man, the big gun in his hand and Yue Fei of the same thickness, but it was a general under the command of Niu Gao of Yanmen Pass, called Gao Pet, this person was the first soldier, that is, a loud shout, straight into the camp, easily stepped through the periphery.

Where Ulzhou City is located, Zheng Heng has been alarmed, and seeing the chaos in the Jurchen camp, he said, "Where are the reinforcements coming from?" ”

One of the generals under his command is nicknamed Partridge, and his eyesight is excellent, so he said, "General Zheng, but it is the banner of the Song people!" ”

The city of Ulzhou is generous, and the Jurchen people and horses naturally can't cover it, not to mention that this is only the vanguard army, and it is only about 10,000 people, and they have to take on the responsibility of besieging the city, so they let Gao Zhong rush in for a while.

The Jurchen people also reacted, and at this time, the banner flashed, and they desperately dispatched troops and horses to remedy here, but this kind of remedy is not much use, after all, there are still many people left to maintain the specifications of the siege.

"Go out of the city and pick up the Song people!" Zheng Heng just said lightly, "The Song people are rich, and it is better to lower them than the Jurchen Tartars who only know how to plunder, and if you follow the Jurchens, the battle array is just a matter of filling people's lives, you have seen it these days!" ”

After a night of chaos, Gao Chong's department killed more than 500 people, and finally arrived in Ulzhou, Gao Chong immediately arranged soldiers and horses to assist Zheng Heng's department to defend the city.

Scattered all over the snowy fields, the bonfires lit by dead branches and scraps from the construction of siege equipment were all relied on by these thousands of people to resist the biting cold wind, and the numb hedgehogs of the people gathered around the bonfires, and they did not even dare to cry, but any crying and noise at night would be regarded as disturbing the morale of the army, and the Jurchen Tartars who patrolled would be pulled out and killed--I couldn't tell who it was, and it was not a big deal to cut a few more and dozens more.
