Chapter 304: Assemble
It is said that Yelu Xuegu said goodbye from Han Derang, and he was grateful in his heart, Han Derang was a Han Chinese, and his ancestors were still slaves who were captured from the Central Plains to the Yelu family, just because he had the trust of His Majesty's mother, so loyal to Youzhou, so loyal to the country, and so loyal to the country, compared to the Khitan magnates who only fought openly and secretly between the DPRK and China, it was really a world of difference. As a Khitan nation, but seeing the Khitan soldiers hiding behind the Han soldiers, the Han soldiers looked at the Khitan people with contempt, but they were also embarrassed, so they brought more than 1,000 pro-troops from the North Courtyard into the city, regardless of the Song army's arrows falling like rain, playing the banner of Yuzhan Langjun, wearing a leather shield, patrolling from Xicheng to the south, declaring along the way that the Khitan reinforcements gathered on the periphery of Youzhou, only waiting for the soldiers and horses in Beijing, the Song army would collapse, and boost the morale of the defenders. Although the Han army defending the city did not pay attention to these Khitans, Yelu Xuegu was comforted in his own heart.
Who knew that just arrived in the south of the city, then listened to the Xiao military soldiers to report, Di Li have voted for the Song people, is about to open the south gate should be outside the outside, Yelu Xuegu looked to the south, the Song Dynasty number of 10,000 steps has been dispatched, just like the tide towards the south gate poured over, is about to rush in, the moment of shock, thinking, Shangjing soldiers and horses are coming to the south, if the Song army first seized Youzhou, my Khitan people in the south will have no place to stand, for today's plan, only to sacrifice their lives, desperately fight. He pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and said to the pro-army on the left and right: "The Song people are very anxious to attack the southern city, and the city gate cannot be lost, and follow me to fight and fight hard, and it is at this time to serve the country!"
Although the Di Li Du soldiers followed Cai Zal Chan to the Song Dynasty, after all, it was only out of a blind belief in the leader, and the status of the Xi people in the Liao State was quite high, and even the Xiao family, who had been the queen for generations, was mixed with a very deep Xi bloodline, compared with the Han army, these Xi soldiers only had a deeper sense of belonging to the Liao State, and they were a little flustered about the Khitan army in the North Courtyard led by the ancient commander of Yelu Xuegu, and heard the Khitan army shouting: "The Imperial Langjun Yelu Xuegu led the Northern Courtyard pro-army to quell the chaos here, only beheaded the evil, and the people who coerced the rebellion were not investigated!" Xi Bing's fighting spirit weakened a little, and many people even abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
At this time, Han Derang also heard that Dilidu had rebelled, and the Song army gathered outside the city, and was about to enter the city from the south gate, so he immediately ordered his henchman Zhang Su to lead the Yulin soldiers to quickly reinforce the Xiaoxiong battalion to repel the Song army. He personally led the most elite northern and southern soldiers in the Han army to rush to the rescue from the main road in the city. When I came to the south city gate, I saw that hundreds of Xi soldiers were already guarding the inside of the city gate, and the heavy city gate was slowly opening behind these Xi soldiers, and it was vaguely seen that the outside of the city was densely packed with Song troops.
"Disperse the Xi soldiers and block the city gate!" "Without having time to think about it, Han Derang waved the horse whip in his hand, and suddenly there were more than 100 Beiya cavalry rushing to kill the past, at this extremely critical moment, the cavalry commander did not care about the loss, and drove the horses to clash with the Dili Du soldiers who were holding shields and guns to protect the city gate, and even the huge momentum of the people and horses suddenly rushed Di Li into a little chaos, and the cavalry were stabbed to death by the reaction of the Di Li Du Xi soldiers, and even the horses were cut into meat paste with horizontal knives. Taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy army, the Northern Ya soldiers rushed desperately with their shields, and the people of Di Lidu were in a melee, and the Northern Ya soldiers rushed back again and again like a tide, and suddenly, the small space inside the city gate was crowded with soldiers who slashed each other. The city gate that slowly opened inward was blocked by the soldiers and corpses in the city, only a gap was opened that only allowed one person to pass, and it could no longer be opened, and the Song army outside could not squeeze in, and the soldiers in front watched the two Liao armies in the city kill each other desperately, and the soldiers behind were hurriedly carrying the crashing car forward. The battle in the city tower is in full swing, Wu Yingying and the Song monarchs and ministers are holding a handful of sweat in their palms, looking from a distance, there are more and more Liao soldiers on the head of the city, and the Xi soldiers who are the internal response have almost collapsed under the fierce offensive of the Khitan army, leaving only more than 300 Song troops still protecting a section of the city wall that erects a cloud ladder, and the corpses of the Song Liao soldiers who died in battle continue to fall from the city. It has been a long time since the offensive was launched, and the city gate has not yet been opened, and more than 40,000 iron cavalry and the elite of the Hujie army are crowded in front of the south city tower and are not allowed to enter.
Yelu Xuegu commanded the pro-army of the Northern Courtyard to relieve the threat of the Song army and the Neiying Xi soldiers to the city tower, and the Han army of the Xiaowu Battalion, which was free, immediately occupied a favorable position on the inner side of the city wall near the city tower, and bent the bow and arrows to shoot the Xi soldiers on the inside of the city gate. Han Derang saw that the battle situation at the head of the city was under the control of Yelu Xuegu, and many Xi soldiers in the city gate were shot to death by arrows at the head of the city. At this moment, the situation on both sides of the city gate is that the soldiers of the Northern Ya Han desperately want to close the city gate, and the Song army Hujie army outside the city handed the knife and gun to the city before the city car came up, desperately trying to squeeze into the city.
Poor Di Li Du Xi soldiers in the middle became an iron felt between two iron hammers, and at first they unanimously resisted the attack of the Northern Ya soldiers, but later they could only desperately maintain the increasingly narrow space of their group. Whether it was the Song army pushing open the city gate and rushing inward to kill, or the northern soldiers constantly pressing forward to close the city gate, they all stepped on the bloody corpses of Di Li Du Xi soldiers. Under the city tower, the wailing screams, the sound of swords clashing with each other, the sonorous sound of iron armor, the sound of struggling to kill, the sound of a piece, flesh and blood flying, plus the arrows falling like rain at the head of the city, the range within dozens of feet of the city gate is like hell on earth, even Han Derang is secretly frightened by such people who are accustomed to killing the land. Suddenly, the Song army cheered, and the city gate was knocked open a wider gap, and several crane control soldiers rushed into the city at once, seeing that the situation was not good, the Han soldiers on the city tower suddenly poured a large pot of boiling oil outward, and threw down the wooden rolling stones one after another. The crane control soldiers huddled outside the city gate were scalded and dodged in all directions, and the momentum of the Song army's unanimous crowding became chaotic. The northern soldiers on the inside of the city gate took the opportunity to rush forward, stabbed the Song soldiers who rushed in on the spot, and then a group of soldiers blocked the way of the Song army, and more pushed the winch together to close the city gate. By this time, the hundreds of Xi soldiers who were in the city gate had all turned into pulp.
"Why hasn't the forbidden army attacked yet, the exercises are not very fast on weekdays, and they have become a group of bears in battle!" Looking at the soldiers who were climbing cautiously along the siege ladder, in just a moment, the Song army didn't go up much, but there were more and more Liao soldier banners on the city wall, Zhao Jiong's face was pale, and he suddenly scolded. Cui Han, who was usually in charge of the forbidden army's drills, did not dare to answer.
All the generals had gloomy faces. As long as you have been on the battlefield naturally know, the battle and the drill are completely different things, like the drill when the head is stuffy to climb the ladder, I am afraid that less than half of the wood rolling stone will be smashed down, at this moment the Liao soldiers have gathered on the city wall on both sides of the south city tower, the city tower released rolling stones, sassal wood, wolf tooth slap, boiling oil, gold juice, both sides of the side of the continuous shooting of sharp arrows. Even though the crane control sergeant who was desperately climbing the ladder carefully dodged, he still did not keep falling.
