103. Iron floating
Half a moment later, Yelu Ma Ge gasped, but returned to Zhou Quan's side with high spirits, and he also raised his chin to Wu Yang: "How?" ”
Because the terrain could not show more troops, and he was worried that it was a trap for the enemy, he could not put all the troops in his hands into it, so there were only more than 100 people who rushed towards the Jurchens with him, and he had a slight advantage in numbers. These Jurchens of the Wanyan Department were not as weak as the Sushi Lie Division, and in the face of the superior Khitans, they dared to rush up and fight.
It wasn't long, only half an hour, but it was a tough battle. As a result of the battle, the Khitans suffered more than 20 casualties, while the Jurchens died more than 30.
In terms of the total number, the Khitans still have the advantage.
Wu Yang picked his thumb and didn't speak.
This made Yelu Ma Ge a little ashamed, and he glanced at Zhou Quan: "Thanks to Zhou Lang, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty sent Zhou Lang to my country as an envoy, and he really has the wisdom to know people!" ”
He knew very well in his heart that he could lead the team to defeat the Jurchen strikers within half an hour, and a considerable part of the credit had to be attributed to Zhou Quan.
First, Zhou Quan impressed everyone with his words, so that these Khitans had enough courage to face the tenacious Jurchen thieves. The second is himself, and it is also because of Zhou Quan's promise to be the lord of a city, so he will fight bravely.
Hearing him boast about Zhou Quan, Yelu Yu Liyan smiled, and said quite proudly: "My vision is similar to that of the Great Song Emperor!" ”
They said this, but Zhou Quan and Di Jiang looked at each other.
Zhao Ji, the son of the Great Song Dynasty, his vision is really not very good, if Yu Liyan's vision is really like him, it will be miserable.
"Fang Cai is just the vanguard of the enemy, I think their brigade should also arrive, let's defend it by the mountain." Zhou Quan had already confessed, so Yu Liyan said loudly.
Sure enough, as she said, the Khitan had just formed a formation, and the Jurchens who had been killed and scattered around gathered again, but this time, their number was no longer only a dozen, but more than five hundred!
And that's not all, the Jurchens who were originally scattered in the dense forest are gathering more and more, and it seems that they are going to develop to 800, 900, or even 1,000 people!
If there was no Zhou Quan's speech and Yelu Mage's hard work, the Khitans would have been afraid when they saw the enemy's strength at this time. But now, although the enemy army was three times larger than the Khitans, they were still calm, and even looked at Yelu Yuliyan with eager eyes, waiting for her order to strike again.
"We can't take it easy." Wu Yang said softly.
Last time, the enemy was unprepared, so he was able to kill a surprise and make the Jurchens suffer a small loss. But now it is different, the Jurchens have found that this Khitan army is very tenacious, and they will definitely not be careless anymore.
"Since the Jurchens rebelled, Princess Yu Liyan was by no means their main target, and the manpower they could infiltrate into the Spring Bowl was originally limited, but they still stationed nearly a thousand people here...... They definitely can't afford it, as long as we stay for half a day, they will definitely retreat! Di Jiang said.
In this regard, Zhou Quan deeply agreed.
Wu Yang and Di Jiang, one can go up at a critical moment, and the other can analyze useful information in a short time, and Zhou Fu picked these two to help him, which can be regarded as a wise person.
The Khitans set up an iron bucket formation, just waiting for the Jurchens to attack in a big way, and among the Jurchens, half a mile apart, Wanyan Shahu looked at the Khitans' defensive formation like a hedgehog, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Something is not quite right with these Liao people!" He muttered.
Although to other Jurchen tribes, Da Liao is a behemoth that makes them fearful, but the Wanyan Department has served the Khitan for many years, and several generations of leaders have been forbearing, and they are already well versed in the Khitan hypocrisy.
In the eyes of Wanyan Hu, Da Liao is a big tree that has been hollowed out, and it looks like it has bright branches and leaves, but as long as there is a strong wind, then Da Liao will fall to the ground with a bang!
"It's a pity that there is not enough manpower, today's matter is too hasty, otherwise where would we only bring these few hundred people!" Wanyan Shahu said hatefully.
This rebellion of the Wanyan tribe was not the idea of Wanyan Wuyashu himself, but the actions of Aguta and Hushahu without authorization. But they are not hot-headed, but in fact, within the Khitans, someone colluded with them and signaled them to do so!
Wu Yashu was still a little afraid, but Ah Guta and Husha felt that this was the best time to tear down the big tree of Liao, so they took action.
"Let's test it first...... Let the Flame Warriors attack first? Next to the Shahu Shahu, a man from the Grim Tribes asked.
The falcon shook his head, the vanguard had already been frustrated, the relationship between the Fu Shi Lie Department and the Wanyan Department had always been not harmonious, even if they forced the other party to step forward, they would definitely not be able to make a contribution.
Thinking of this, he named the generals of the Yan Department and ordered them to lead the team to attack.
Wanyanbu's attack was initially quite smooth, and with only two rounds of assaults, the first layer of defense of the Khitans at the foot of the mountain was broken, and even the second layer of defense was almost broken.
Although they were eventually driven down, the casualty ratio of the Wanyan tribe as the attacker and the Khitans on the defending side was roughly the same!
This made Wanyan Shahu make up his mind.
"Attack again!" He shouted, "Don't give these Liao dogs a chance to breathe!" ”
This attack broke through two layers of enemy defense in a row, and directly attacked under the banner of Yelu Yu Liyan, the princess of Daliao, before being driven back by the Khitans.
Just as Wanyan retreated, there was a sudden chaos among the Khitans, and immediately after, six or seven people rushed down from the mountain.
"It's our people, it's our people!"
On the flanks of the Wanyan Division, the people of the Fushi Lie Department were surprised and delighted.
But it was the captives of the Sushi Lie Division, who took advantage of the opportunity of the Wanyan tribe to attack and the Khitans who did not care about them, and seized the weapons of the Khitans and fled.
Wanyan Shahu was overjoyed, summoned these people from the Sushi Lie tribe to the front and asked, "How many Khitans are there on the mountain?" ”
"It's not much, there are only more than three hundred people in total, and the people's hearts are scattered, just one or two more attacks, and they will definitely win!" The people of the Nafu Stone Lie tribe replied.
"Oh, I see that they are still quite disciplined, where are the hearts of the people distracted?" The Shahu frowned.
"There are actually three groups of people on the mountain, one is Princess Yu Liyan's subordinate guards, one group is the leather room army sent by the Liao lord to respond, and more than ten people are Han envoys of the Song State. The reason why they fought before was because your troops were so tightly surrounded that they thought they would die, so they fought fiercely! "Then the people of the Stone Lie Department can see clearly the reality and the void on the mountain.
Hearing this, and corroborating it with the information he had received earlier, the Shahu felt that the people of the Fushi Lie Department were not lying.
He ordered these Sushi Martyrs to return to their headquarters, then looked around and said with a smile: "In this case, let's give these Khitans a chance, everyone gather together first and make a way!" ”
When attacking, this is the most basic art of war, and the Jurchens are very familiar with it. So they abandoned their previous practice of blocking the two roads down the mountain, and instead moved out of the way of one and blocked only the other.
If the Khitan people on the mountain saw that they had a way to escape, perhaps their will to resist would not be so resolute.
Sure enough, as his side gave way to a road, the Khitans above were in chaos, and there seemed to be disputes within them!
It should be a contradiction between insisting on resistance and asking for a breakthrough and escape, and even without waiting for the Jurchens to attack, there were several flames on the mountain, and the smoke column soared into the sky, and I don't know whether it was a mistake to overturn the fire, or to light it to call the police for help.
Wanyan Shahu was overjoyed, and the best thing these Jurchens he brought was to climb mountains and mountains in the deep mountains and old forests, which was even more proficient than horseback riding. If the Khitans left the mountain, the Wanyan Sand Tiger was sure to wipe it out on the way.
"Don't give them too much time to think, you have to keep attacking, put pressure on them, force them to collapse!"
Wanyan Shahu has fought in the south and north over the years, and has fought many vicious battles with Aguta and others, and immediately decided when he saw the opportunity.
The Jurchens were indeed superior to the Khitans in carrying out the battle order, and after Yan Hu's order, two hundred Jurchens suddenly wore armor and began to march towards the mountain.
And this time, it is no longer the original mountain and forest Jurchens who are good at mountain climbing! They were all strong and strong, and their bodies were wrapped in iron armor, and although their pace slowed down because of this, they moved towards the mountain like huge rocks!
"Arrows are useless!"
As these Jurchens approached, Wanyan Shahu heard the desperate shouts of the Khitans on the mountain.
The Khitan hunters had excellent archery skills, which had always made the Jurchens jealous, and in order to deal with them, the Jurchens deliberately collected heavy armor and armed this heavy armor army. In the eyes of the Jurchens, this will be their main force in the confrontation with the leather room army!
"Tiefutu...... Kill! Seeing that the opponent's hunting bow could not break through the armor, the falcon raised his hammer and shouted.
"Roar!"
The heavily armored Jurchens who were advancing heard his orders from behind, and roared in unison, the momentum was so great that it could smash everything that stood in its way.
The Khitan people on the mountain were even more chaotic, no one cared about the fire that burned indiscriminately, and the entire mountain bag fell into thick smoke. Wanyan Shahu was extremely satisfied, and he was already thinking about how to concoct the proud Khitan princess.
But at this moment, the situation changed abruptly!
It was the direction of the wind that had changed, and the original north wind suddenly became a west wind, and the mountain was in the west, and the Jurchen army was in the east. The west wind was strong, rolling up the billowing smoke and rushing towards the Jurchens!
Not only did the smoke obscure their vision, but more importantly, the choking smoke poured into their face armor, rushed into their noses, and occupied their alveoli. These Jurchen heavy armor, who were as strong as a mountain just now, suddenly became seriously ill, coughing violently one by one, and could barely straighten their waists.
Even those who barely managed to cough were unable to move forward because of difficulty breathing!
Although the mountain bag is not steep, but the heavy armor has to move to fight, which is a great consumption of physical strength, and now they can't go forward, stop in place and continue to be smoked, for a while, the Jurchens are in a dilemma!
"Damn it!" Seeing this situation, the originally proud Wanyan Shahu suddenly showed anger on his face.
