Ninety-six, dead support
If you dare not obey, you will not be spared!
For a long time, the Khitan people looked at Zhou Quan, only treating him as a little white face, which made the princess happy. In the minds of these leather room soldiers, all the respect for Zhou Quan comes from Yelu Yu Liyan.
But at this moment, Yelu Ma Ge only felt a cold sweat on his back, he had also been on the battlefield and killed people, judging from Zhou Quan's voice and gaze, this young envoy of the Song Kingdom was definitely not joking!
Moreover, this young envoy of the Song Kingdom has also killed people!
Yelu Ma Ge muttered in Khitan dialect, and then said, "I only listen to the princess's orders!" ”
"Go up that mountain!" Zhou Quan pointed to the mountain bag that Di Jiang said.
Yelu Mage was expressionless, and repeated Zhou Quan's order in Khitan dialect, and the more than 100 horsemen immediately climbed towards the mountain.
There were occasional cold arrows behind him, and from time to time there was a scream of arrows in the leather room army, and the Khitan hunters would also use bows and arrows to counterattack, but the enemy was dark and I was clear, and their counterattacks did not have much effect.
Fortunately, there was a path up the mountain, and after they rushed up the mountain, only three or four people were damaged. At the highest point on the top of the mountain, Zhou Quan looked around, especially at the way home, and then took a breath of cold air.
Their way back was originally followed by hunters, but now it has been cut off by rocks and fallen trees, and if they go back the way they came, they will inevitably be blocked by these roadblocks.
Beyond the barricades, on the ridge, there were faint people, but the enemy who was lying in ambush saw that they had not followed the road and were approaching this side of the mountain.
Then look in the direction where the tiger trail led them, there is a narrow valley, if they enter the valley, and the arrows on both sides are fired together, I am afraid that half of these hundred people will be wiped out immediately!
From this narrow valley, there are now a large number of people rushing out, and judging by their number, there are more than a hundred, which is equal to their number.
"These immature raw girls!" Recognizing from afar that it seemed to be some Jurchen tribe in the deep mountains and forests, Yelu Margo roared.
There are often cases of Jurchen rebellion, but when the camp of the Liao Emperor is so close, there is also a Jurchen rebellion, which makes them really surprised.
"Is it Wanyanbu?" Hearing that it was a Jurchen, Zhou Quan asked in surprise.
"It's not Wanyanbu, it's ...... Damn, there are more than 70 large and small Jurchens, who knows which part this group of animals belongs to! ”
When Yelu Mage said this, he suddenly raised his arms: "There are not many enemies, don't let them besiege us, give me a rush!" ”
In his opinion, the Jurchens and Yelu Yu Liyan's guards were equal, and they only needed to rush down and defeat the Jurchens, and the danger would be solved.
At this time, Zhou Quan's sword had already left his neck, and he also deliberately kept his distance from Zhou Quan, and with his order, sixty leather room soldiers followed him, and rushed down the hillside on horseback.
"Humph!"
Di Jiang on the mountain snorted coldly, his expression disapplieving, but Yelu Yu Liyan cheered: "Brother Ma is a warrior given to me by my father, and the leather rooms around me are all elites, Zhou Lang, you just wait to see our victory!" ”
Zhou Quan ignored him and asked Di Jiang, "What do you think of the victory?" ”
"It's very hanging, I'm afraid there are still ambushes among the thieves, and all the soldiers who come out are cavalry, and the foot soldiers haven't shown up yet...... If I am a Khitan, I should stick to it at this time and wait for reinforcements, we have dry food on us, snow and water on the mountains, and it is not difficult to hold on until the reinforcements arrive! ”
Zhou Quan heard him say this, turned his head and looked around, the leather room army rushed down, and what was left on the mountain was more than ten Song people he brought, as well as more than thirty Khitan hunters, plus Yelu Yu Liyan's attendants, a total of less than seventy people.
"Do you want to build fortifications?" Zhou Quan asked.
Zhou Tong and Zhou Fu didn't want him to join the army, so they didn't teach him the art of war, but Zhou Quan himself had enough knowledge, since it was defense, in his opinion, it was necessary to build fortifications.
"Chop down some branches and barely block a few places, so that the other party can't come up easily!" Di Jiang could only command based on his own combat experience.
Zhou Quan didn't say a word, got off the horse himself, and went to cut the branches himself.
The Song people who came with him also played football with him every day, and there was a lot of friendship between them.
Yelu Yu Liyan didn't understand why at first, but when she saw Zhou Quan doing it, her subordinates were watching there, she suddenly became angry, and after whipping two attendants, those Khitans also joined in cutting down trees.
Dozens of people worked together, and a moment later, several gentle slopes that were easy to attack were blocked by cluttered branches. These branches have limited defense, but are enough to cause trouble for attackers, such as blocking their charges, tripping and falling.
At this time, the leather room army led by Yelu Margo had also rushed in front of the group of Jurchens.
The two sides saw that they were about to fight, but the group of Jurchens separated to the left and right in the whistle.
Behind them, two hundred Jurchen pawns appeared!
Yelu Mage's face changed greatly, these Jurchen pawns, who had previously used the woods and grass to cover themselves, appeared at this time, obviously deliberately luring them to come.
There was a rain of arrows in front of him, and the Jurchens were all good at archery, although the leather room army had paid attention to dodging, but under this round of arrow rain, more than ten people still fell off their horses.
Zhou Quan saw this scene on the mountain bag and shook his head, even if he was a layman, he could see that the Khitan people were too arrogant.
"Da Lang, we have to go to meet them, if all these Khitans die, it will be difficult for us to defend this mountain!" Dijiang Road.
"Go out and pick it up now?" Zhou Quan asked.
"When they retreat, if that Ma brother is not a fool, he should retreat at this time, but we must have good armor!"
When they came out to hunt, everyone wore leather clothes for the convenience of their movements, but one of them had two horses, and the other horse was also armored in addition to preparing camel prey, just in case of accidents.
Zhou Quan listened to Di Jiang's suggestion, and said to Yelu Yu Liyan: "Yu Liyan, order A!" ”
At this time, it was a moment of crisis, and Zhou Quan didn't care about etiquette, so he called Yelu Yu Liyan's name. Yu Liyan was overjoyed, but she forgot all the tension in front of her, she smiled at Zhou Quan first, and then gave the order.
This smile made Zhou Quan's heart incomprehensible.
Everyone was wearing armor, and even Zhou Quan was wearing a Khitan scale armor. The Khitan originally meant "iron", and their smelting skills were no worse than those of the Song Kingdom, so the scale armor of the leather room army was quite exquisite.
"Da Lang, you will command from above in a while, and see the skills of me and Wu Yang!" Di Jiang said with a smile, revealing a mouthful of burnt teeth.
"Archer press!" Wu Yang said on the side.
Di Jiang realized that his idea of connection was completely adopted by Zhou Quan, which made him a little forgetful, but he missed this key thing.
"Da Lang, please the Khitan princess, restrain those hunters, when we withdraw, they must hold down their positions, and don't let the Jurchen barbarians follow and kill them!"
Zhou Quan nodded, and said to Yelu Yu Liyan again, Yu Liyan was affectionate, just stared at him and nodded, I don't know if I really listened.
At the beginning, seeing the Jurchens appearing and the Khitans rushing into battle, Zhou Quan didn't feel so nervous, in his opinion, it was just a slightly larger group fight. However, when he saw the Khitans retreating and his side was ready to go out to respond, his heart suddenly hung in the air.
His heart was pounding, and he unconsciously grasped the spear in his hand.
The Khitans like to use heavy weapons, but Zhou Quan is not used to those iron maces, maces and the like, so when he chose the blade, he still picked a spear.
It was cold, but sweat climbed up his forehead.
The Khitans lost more than a dozen horsemen, and the rest fled desperately, and after them, the Jurchens pursued them relentlessly. When going down the mountain, the speed of the war horse was very fast, and the speed of going up the mountain slowed down, so at this moment, Yelu Ma Ge and the others were only halfway up the mountain.
Di Jiang had been waiting for Zhou Quan to give an order, but at this time, Zhou Quan had not yet given the order, he was in a hurry, turned his face sideways and said, "Da Lang, Da Lang!" ”
Zhou Quan was a little stunned: "How, how?" ”
Di Jiang suddenly remembered that the person next to him may have done some small-scale deeds with his father and uncle, but he had never really been on the battlefield, and he had not yet had the consciousness of a commander, so he immediately urged: "Chong, Da Lang, Chong!" ”
Hearing Di Jiang say "Chong", Zhou Quan was confused, and Di Jiang also said that he wanted him to stay in the rear and command the Khitan hunters to press the formation, why did he call him Chong now?
After all, it was the initial nervousness that made Zhou Quan mistaken, Di Jiang asked him to order, but he thought it was for him to charge. Although he would be wrong, Zhou Quan also knew that on the battlefield, the most taboo thing was hesitation, so after he heard it, he clamped the horse's belly with both feet.
The purple horse let out a long neigh, and rushed out with a step.
"Huh?"
Di Jiang's jaw almost fell, he asked Zhou Quan to give the order to charge, but he didn't let Zhou Quan charge by himself!
So a very strange situation happened, Zhou Quan rushed out alone, alone!
"Geography ghost, come back to settle accounts with you!"
Seeing this, Wu Yang roared and urged the horse out.
He rode the same healthy horse, and although he was not as tall as the purple horse, he was also a good horse of choice. And he was more decisive than Zhou Quan, so after the war horse rushed out, he quickly caught up with Zhou Quan.
Di Jiang panicked at this time, if Zhou Quan had three strengths and two shortcomings, even if he hid to the ends of the earth, he would be turned out by Zhou Fu. He let out a scream and rushed out.
Those Song forbidden troops who played football with Zhou Quan on weekdays also followed at this time, and then, under the deterrence of Yelu Yu Liyan's leather whip, her close attendants also rushed out.
So, Zhou Quan's first formation was to rush to the Jurchens with a group of half-hearted guys.
At this moment, Zhou Quan's heart has already understood that he is likely to charge by mistake, but the arrow is on the string, and he has to send it, if he turns around and goes back, not only will his morale collapse immediately, but he is afraid that he will collide with his own people who rushed out.
He gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "It's a man, you have to hold on to death!" ”
