Chapter 43: Burning Coyote Mountain [I]

The two thousand Khitan warriors who had already assembled raised a wooden shield in one hand and a short spear and scimitar in the other, let out a bloody roar from the depths of their hearts. It was as if all beasts were roaring.

Li Cunhuan stood calmly on the corner tower, glanced at the Khitans, and then turned to the casual generals Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu and asked, "Two generals, are you ready?" ”

Although the two are not fierce generals at the level of Li Cunxiao, they can follow Li Cunxiao's side and are also famous generals in the world. Today's task is only what these two people can do. When the two heard this, they hugged their fists at Li Cunhuan and said, "Rest assured, a thousand elite horsemen are ready, just wait for the envoy to give an order." ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he showed a relieved smile, hugged his fists at the two, and said: "Today, the two generals of World War I have a long way to go, so you go down and prepare well." When I saw the banner for a while, it was the time for the two of them to make contributions! ”

The two nodded indifferently, although their mission was dangerous, they followed Li Cunxiao from birth to death, and they already had a feeling of almost indifference to death.

Li Cunhuan saw it, and felt a little happy in his heart, feeling that the two were too contemptuous, but it was not good to blame the two. After all, they are not his Li Cunhuan's generals, even if it is, now is the time for Li Cunhuan to be important to them, and some mistakes will be endured.

Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu didn't want to offend Li Cunhuan with one action just now. However, the second general probably won't worry much if he knows it, the second general is not inferior, and he admires the two of them in his life. One is naturally Li Cunxiao, who is like the god of war, and the other is Li Keyong, a one-eyed dragon. For others to look down on it, even if Li Cunhuan and Li Cunxiao are brothers and have an excellent relationship.

The morale of the Khitans in this attack is like a rainbow, and it is no longer the kind of attack that can be passed. Siege ladders, rams, hooks, etc. are readily available. The shield has also been replaced with a thick wooden shield, which makes the defense more powerful.

With another wave of his hand, Chi Yuli led 2,000 dismounted Khitan archers up the hill to cover the shooting. Sasted invested two-thirds of his troops at one time, and it was clear from here that Sasted was full of confidence and was ready to fight the Lu Long army on Coyote Mountain.

Li Cunhuan looked at it from the corner tower, showed a sneer, and ordered the herald beside him: "Order to wait for them to get close before releasing arrows, don't waste arrows." ”

"Yes!" The herald responded, and immediately waved the red flag on the corner tower and issued a flag in all directions. For a moment, the defenders on the wooden wall were all dying.

The Khitans chased the deer on the grassland, suffered from the cold, and were often attacked by steppe wolves. Although life is hard, it has also trained them with good skills and courage. Hunting often and secretly conforming to the way of war make them natural warriors. Although the Lu Long army on the opposite side was silent, they still took firm steps, raised their shields, formed a wooden wall composed of shields, and slowly but firmly advanced towards the coyote mountain camp.

After Li Cunhuan looked at it for a while, he had to admit that this was a wolf and tiger army, and after a little training, it could become an army made of iron and blood. I don't care if Yelu Abaoji can make a career, with such a wolf and tiger division, plus a British master, it is not a problem to achieve a hegemony at all.

"It's time to launch!" Li Cunhuan took a deep look at the Khitan infantry that was slowly advancing. He didn't intend to go toe-to-toe with the Khitan infantry below at all, so it was just a slight contact. To the herald beside him, he ordered: "Burn wolf smoke!" ”

When the herald heard this, his face couldn't help but show a touch of excitement, and he hurriedly picked up the torch that had been prepared a long time ago, walked up to the wooden platform temporarily erected on the corner tower, and threw the torch into the fire tray on the wooden platform. It didn't take long for a thick puff of smoke to rise from the fire tray with the half-wet firewood. Thick smoke rose into the sky, like a black dragon with teeth and claws.

When Yelu Yi saw the black dragon, his heart was immediately shocked, and Sashud pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered the cavalry to be on guard, and at the same time sent a thousand soldiers to support the mountain on horseback. In his opinion, this is enough to be safe. He even thought that maybe this was just a simple means by the Han people to gain them a little time to breathe.

After a while, after the Khitans were shocked for a while, nothing happened, which undoubtedly made Sashide and the Khitans feel like a crisp slap in the face. It's so insulting!

Sasted was furious, raised his horsewhip, and roared: "Attack! Offensive! Offensive! Kill me in, and I won't leave a chicken dog behind! Kill! Kill! Kill! ……”

The angry Sasked said three attacks and kills in a row, so you can imagine how big the anger in his heart was.

Seeing the Khitan Li Cunhuan who was speeding up his pace of attack, not only was he not worried, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. And not long after the Khitans attacked, suddenly a group of cavalry on the left and right suddenly rushed out. The leaders were Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu, two fierce generals.

Sasted and Yeluyi were shocked when they saw it, but although they were shocked, they did not lose their cool. Under the reminder of Yeluyi, Sashide immediately divided two cavalry teams of 500 people, each to meet the two generals Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu. In their eyes, this was just a blow to the death of the Lu Long Army on Coyote Mountain.

However, the second general led the cavalry, but instead of meeting the Khitan light cavalry that came to block it, they separately divided about 100 cavalry to block it. Before the Khitans could react. Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu had already taken out the things that ignited the fire, roared and galloped all the way with torches, burning the wild grass at the foot of Coyote Mountain.

It was winter, and the air was dry, but in a moment, the spark had turned into a raging fire with the help of the howling north wind. The fire was like a galloping 100-meter athlete. In addition, Li Cunhuan took advantage of the night last night to sprinkle sulfur, saltpeter, fire oil, dry wood and other fire-causing things on the mountainside overnight, which was even more blazing.

The Youzhou soldiers and Xingzhou soldiers on Coyote Mountain were even more excited, and everyone was eager to change one hand into two hands, only to feel that time had never flowed so fast. The arrows flew sideways, and most of them were rockets, making the Khitans on the mountainside feel like they were in hell, with blazing fire and smoke billowing from the front and back.

At this time, the direction of the wind suddenly changed, and the north wind changed to the southwest wind. The fire at the foot of the mountain was immediately extinguished, after all, the foot of the mountain was just some wild grass, although Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu put a lot of things that ignited the fire, but they couldn't stop the general trend.

Li Cunhuan saw it and couldn't help but be stunned. Sadness started in his heart, and secretly thought: "It's rare that the sky is going to kill me? The burning of Coyote Mountain, which had already been successful, actually failed!? ”
