Chapter 40: The Khitans Attack [9]

Today is the fourth day, and the offensive has changed from a fierce battle at the beginning to a mere formality, and it can even be said to be a delicate exercise. All because the Khitan and the defenders of Coyote Mountain have formed a tacit understanding, and the attacks on both sides only exist in long-range attacks.

As long as you don't get shot at the point, it's hard to die. Therefore, apart from wasting thousands of arrows every day, causing more than a dozen injuries to each other, and occasionally one or two unlucky people were killed, there was no work to build the surname.

Just after the morning, the Khitans had already retreated, and the defenders did not stop them. In fact, there is no way to stop it, except for the other party to shoot thousands of arrows, but the combat effectiveness is very sufficient. The soldiers defending the city also breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that today's battle was over, and if there were no accidents, a new round of fighting would occur the next morning.

Because Li Cunhuan didn't want to see the Youzhou soldiers, although they were also soldiers, after the battle, the Xingzhou soldiers took turns to rest in the barracks below. The Youzhou soldiers were left behind on the wooden wall to guard. In fact, this is also very normal, no general likes to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and he can't completely control the army, and he doesn't give them a little hardship, which is strange.

The name of the person in charge today is Zhou Hero, although the name is a hero, but he can be promoted to a lieutenant is not a hero at all. It was because his beautiful sister married his boss Wen Zhongshi that he was in a partial room, and his favored sister's pillow was blown too much, and his brother was promoted to the captain who managed a battalion of men.

Although the official position of the captain does not seem to be large, he is actually in charge of five teams of people, seven hundred and fifty people, of course, generally speaking, that is, seven hundred people, after all, this era wants to be full. Where are you going to make money? What's more, the higher authorities will not allocate all the military salaries to you. Basically, there is a shortage of personnel in every unit, and it is just a matter of whether there is more or less.

Zhou Yingying wrapped his robe tightly in an obscure manner, and muttered and scolded: "Paralyzed, Li Cunhuan, that guy, hum!" I actually overshadowed the master, let the master blow the cold wind here, and when you return to Youzhou, you will know that it is powerful......"

Zhou Yingying scolded while rubbing his hands to keep warm. Suddenly, his personal soldiers and cronies Xiao Liuzi suddenly pulled his battle robe. Zhou Yingying frowned dissatisfiedly, and asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't those Khitan dogs touch it? ”

Xiao Liuzi knew Zhou Yingying's stinky temper, and he didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and said with a smile: "In such a cold weather, those Khitan dogs can withstand the cold wind." When I walked up, my hands and feet were cold, and I still had the strength to climb up. When they come, they let us release their arrows. It's just that the Khitan people over there came to graze, and I wondered if I should go down to beat a few fat sheep and make a tooth sacrifice to pay tribute to the five internal organs. Aren't you here to discuss with the captain! ”

When Zhou Yingying heard this, he said with some disbelief: "Where is it possible, don't talk nonsense in your mouth." The Khitan people grazing and putting it under the coyote mountain, it's rare that they still think that our Yandi men are all paper-tied? ”

Xiao Liuzi made a gesture of invitation and said: "I didn't graze under the coyote mountain, but the distance is also very close, if the captain doesn't believe it, he will know if he goes out to see." However, after a small thought, it is estimated that the grass on the other side of their camp is almost eaten, and this does not come to our neighborhood to graze. In addition, they still think that their Khitan people are invincible in the world on the grassland, and they think that we dare not go down the mountain, which is why they are so arrogant. ”

Zhou Yingying nodded thoughtfully and said, "This is possible. ”

After speaking, he walked out of the Tibetan Soldier Cave and came to the corner tower, only to see that on the bank of the Baichao River, about seven or eight miles away from the Coyote Mountain, more than 1,000 sheep and more than 500 horses were eating slightly dry pasture. On the periphery, forty or fifty Khitan men rode on horseback, holding a long wooden pole with a long whip in their hands, managing the flock of sheep and horses.

Zhou Yingying looked at the sheep, and then looked at the Khitan military camp in the distance, and secretly pondered, robbing the Khitan cattle and sheep, whether the Khitan people had enough time to react. After a while, as if he had figured out something, there was a greedy look in his eyes.

After pondering for a while, they felt that it was not good to let go of this group of fat sheep like this, and they all felt that the Khitans were nothing more than that.

Zhou Yingying instructed Xiao Liuzi: "You stay here, I'll go back!" ”

When Xiao Liuzi heard this, he knew that Zhou Yingying was tempted, and he would definitely be indispensable to his own benefits after he succeeded, so he couldn't help but show joy on his face, nodded vigorously, and responded: "Captain don't worry, the villain must be optimistic about this group of fat sheep." ”

Zhou Yingying couldn't take care of Xiao Liuzi, so he hurriedly went down the corner tower and came to the camp of his cheap brother-in-law Wen Zhongshi, and told him what he had in mind. Sure enough, they are relatives, both of them are ghosts, and when Wen Zhongshi heard this, he was immediately moved. However, he was afraid that Li Cunhuan would swallow his spoils, so he decided to cut it first and then play it, and Li Cunhuan had no choice if he knew it. He also did not send anyone to notify Li Cunhuan, nor did he let anyone notify Li Cunhuan.

Call your cronies, call three leaders who are usually good, and four people join forces in one place, a total of 2,800 people. Anyway, the gate is guarded by people in the middle of the text, and there is no warrant. Immediately led 2,800 people to kill the Wolf Mountain, and the group of herdsmen seemed to be frozen by the cold wind, and when they reacted, the troops led by Wen Zhongshi were only five or six miles away from them.

But where is it so easy to drive the flock, and it is still useless to bring people close to a mile in the text. And reinforcements also appeared in the Khitan barracks. However, looking at the untidy clothes of the reinforcements, those who don't know are still defeated. When the world saw it, he was overjoyed, and urged his subordinates to speed up.

The herdsmen of the forty or fifty seemed to be in danger of saving their lives, and each of them rode on horseback, with two or three horses in his hands. Quickly fled towards the Khitans' own camp, and they didn't even dare to go back.

When Wen Zhongshi saw it, he couldn't help laughing proudly: "Everyone, speed up, add a fat sheep to every dinner tonight!" ”

When the soldiers of Youzhou heard this, everyone's spirits were greatly boosted, and the middle of the world was also prepared to use the remaining more than 300 Khitan horses as trophies to contribute to Li Kuangshou, so I am afraid that Li Cunhuan sent someone to sue him, and he also had something to rely on.

Just when Wen Zhongshi and the others were making their wishful thinking, a terrible horn suddenly sounded, and a cavalry of about 500 people suddenly flashed out from the rear. This cavalry was different from ordinary Khitan cavalry, although it was very strong, but it was poorly equipped. This cavalry sat down on a war horse, which is not said to be first-class, but it is also a first-class horse. Each wears a piece of chain mail, a helmet made of leather, and a standard spear or mace. Everyone is well equipped.

The leader was Yeluyi, the guard officer who shot Li Cunhuan's cold arrow, so this Khitan cavalry was also about to come out. They are the guards of the Khan of Hind Jin, so they are the first class among the Khitans in terms of equipment and horses.

Yeluyi appeared in the rear, and the disheveled soldiers in the Khitan camp in front of him spread out left and right, revealing thousands of neatly clad Khitan iron horsemen behind. The leader was the triumphant Stag, and on his side was the smiling and smug Chi Yuli.
