CHAPTER XXXI

Blood slowly flowed from between Baili Wuji's clenched lips and teeth, so red that it was so dazzling that it made Chai Rong's heart throb.

Chai Rong thought that this was Baili Wuji's move for him to stay, Chai Rong disguised it: "I just want to see what kind of magic weapon my brother has prepared, and he can block hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves." ”

Baili Wuji looked at Chai Rong's sincere smiling face, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

The two of them drank and chatted slowly until dawn, but they had already decided the direction of the future pattern of the world, and even distributed the interests of the two countries, waiting for the big war to begin.

……。

On this night, the palace of the Liao Emperor of Dading Mansion was as bright as day.

Yelu Jing is making the final deployment to the Liao generals.

The 400,000 Liao troops have all arrived at the predetermined position, and the 50,000 Liao troops are moving closer to Dadingfu.

The Ming and Zhou armies did not even have the slightest intention of obstruction, and even the emperors of the two countries came to Yanzhou as promised.

Yelu Jing sent people several times to inquire whether there were any new military movements in the Ming and Zhou countries, and the answer he got was that it was normal.

A qiē is so smooth lì, so smooth that it makes Yelu Jing feel flustered, so panicked that he even wants to give an order to stop the army.

But that's just thinking. 450,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of people, adding up to millions of people, not to mention tens of thousands of material shipments, if this qiē qiē is only stopped because of their own panic, this is too ridiculous.

So, Yelujing killed someone casually. And his attendant Miriji and his head were displayed to the people. There is no reason, he just wants to kill, and Yelu Jing uses this to calm his mood.

This night. Ye Lujing once again ordered the generals to carefully check the combat deployment, and today alone, they have already checked it three times.

Yelu Jing's strategy was: the 60,000 cavalry from the south of Yanzi City to attack Wuzhou, and the 60,000 cavalry from the south of Tanshan to attack Ruzhou, these two ways formed the left army, which was an assist; The deputy marshal and the king of the southern court, Yelu Qixi, led 100,000 Liao cavalry to attack Jizhou from the south of Bei'anzhou, and the deputy marshal and the king of the northern court, Yelu Tira, led the 65,000 tribal army of the original Dading Mansion and 38,000 leather room troops to attack Yuguan from the south of Jianzhou. These two roads formed the right army, which was an auxiliary attack; And Yelujing himself led 80,000 leather rooms as the main attack of the Chinese army, and the target was Yanyun Pass - Gubeikou.

Yelujing's Chinese army did not immediately attack. Instead, it echoed with the army on the right, and the battle was first attacked by the army on the left to attract the strength of the Ming army, and then the army on the right took advantage of the weakness to attack. If you can attack it in one go. Then the auxiliary attack of the army on the right will be transformed into the main attack. And Yelujing's Chinese army turned to an auxiliary attack; If it still can't be attacked for a long time, then Yelujing's Chinese army will take the main attack as the original plan and break through the Gubeikou Pass.

In Ye Lu Jing's opinion, no matter how strong Yan Yunming's army is, under the offensive posture of his three roads and five divisions, it is an iron wall, and it can smash a hole. So, even though I panicked. Yelujing still decided to attack as originally planned, and he didn't believe it. Under the attack of such a military force, can Yan Yun stand tall?

After more than a year of war, Liao's national strength has been exhausted, and different voices have begun to appear in various forces, and the phenomenon of disintegration has been revealed in the country. Before Yelu Jing went to Beijing, he received a secret report that his younger brother Yelu Dilie, the political affairs Ling Yelu Shouyuan, and the Taibao Xiao Abu and others had colluded and had begun to secretly connect with the leaders of various tribes.

But Yelu Jing disagreed, he believed that as long as he succeeded in occupying the Central Plains, no, as long as he could take Yanyun, or even as long as he could win a big victory, those noises in the court would weaken until they disappeared. However, Yelu Jing still kept an eye on it, and ordered Jeruzala's iron cavalry to guard the capital, with these 30,000 iron cavalry, those Xiaoxiao even wanted to rebel, but they were just hitting stones with eggs.

Yelu Jing set the time of the attack at the beginning of the morning of August 16, that is, the next morning, he did not want to wait any longer, if Baili Wuji and Chai Rong met Shun Lì, once they returned, then he would inevitably lose one of the greatest fruits of victory.

……。

At midnight on the 16th, the sky was bright, and the iron pillar of the change of guard was shaking his spirits, swallowing the last bite of dried potatoes, and cursed in his mouth: "This damn ghost weather." ”

Although it is still mid-August, on the Great Wall north of Wuzhou, the temperature in the early morning can still freeze to death.

And today, the fog from the ugly time is particularly large, so big that no human figure can be seen ten paces away.

The iron pillar rested against the battlements of the wall, a position he was already familiar with, and he had to spend two hours a day, sometimes in the early morning, sometimes at noon, and sometimes at night.

The fog slowly penetrated into the body from the crack of the military uniform exposed by the iron pillar, and the slightest trace of bone-eroding cold made the iron pillar tighten the military uniform again, although it was a good cotton cloth, but after all, it could not resist this cold.

Tiezhu habitually looked around, but today's fog blocked the soldiers' view, and Tiezhu took advantage of the opportunity that the lieutenant could not see, secretly bowed down, leaned on the musket he had just changed, and slowly sat down against the wall battlement.

Tie Zhu leaned his musket against the battlement, narrowed his eyes slightly, intending to close his eyes for a while and relive the sweet dreams he had in the early morning.

Tie Zhu was born in Jiangyin, and was drafted into the army at the age of fifteen, which was considered lucky, and there was no war in the Southern Tang Dynasty in those years, and later he joined Chen Yanzheng's command and became a personal guard. As long as this guard does not encounter war, it has always been the safest way to be promoted, and on the day when Tiezhu also became a personal guard, he excitedly burned several pillars of incense and thanked the gods.

What Tie Zhu didn't expect was that the king of Chu attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, Chen Yanzheng rebelled in front of the battle, and the whole army surrendered to the state of Chu.

Although Tie Zhu is a southerner, he is not lacking in heroism, at that time, Chen Yanzheng was entrusted by Baili Wuji to persuade Bian Ho to surrender, Tie Zhu was angry for a while, his head was hot, and the ghost made Chen Yanzheng almost contradict Chen Yanzheng.

It's so embarrassing. Tie Zhu closed his eyes and scolded softly.

Fortunately, Chen Yanzheng still remembered Tiezhu's love for following him for many years, and did not embarrass him, but just transferred him out of the personal guard.

In this way, the iron pillar loses the opportunity to be favored by the god of luck.

What Tie Zhu didn't expect was that since Chen Yanzheng entered the Chu State, the Shenwu Army became the Black Flag Army, and he changed into a military uniform, and since then he has a monthly salary, which makes Tie Zhu overjoyed.

What makes Tie Zhu even happier is that the salary has risen three times, from one tael a year to three taels a year now. Three taels a year is enough for the iron pillar to support his family, no, he should be able to live a good life. (To be continued......)
