Chapter 496: I can stand proudly on the peak

To the west of Jiayuguan is the so-called Western Regions in ancient times, and after leaving Jiayuguan, it is about 800 miles to the west, which is the Yizhou City of Xiliao specially used to defend against the Jin State.

At the beginning of Xiao Xuan's establishment of the Western Liao, because the Jin State often went out to attack and harass, he deliberately expanded the city of Yizhou several times on the original basis, and there were 40,000 troops stationed in it all the year round.

Especially since Chen Weijia served as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the importance of Yizhou City has risen to a new level, not only the supply of grain and grass must not be delayed at all every month, as long as there is a problem with all the armaments and facilities transported, even if it is just the simplest piece of bracer, up to the officials who give instructions and down to the transport officers, all of them will be executed.

After a long time, there is a saying that "first-class Yizhou and second-class Kuitun" have been circulated in Xiliao all year round, which means that even if they are soldiers in Kuitun, the national capital, their status is far inferior to that of Yizhou City.

Chen Yu was a native of the Song Dynasty, when the Liao State was destroyed and Xiao Xuan led the people to move westward out of the pass, he was only eleven or twelve years old, and the village was destroyed because of the war.

It can be regarded as lucky, he happened to meet a brigade of Liao people who were moving west, and he finally escaped by knowing a little Liao language, and was adopted by a Liao old pawn and brought to the Western Regions.

In more than ten years, he has changed from a boy with tied hair to a man close to thirty years old, and from the boy who can't even lift a knife to the general of Yiwu City, one of the Acropolis of Yizhou City.

Pushing the brim of his hat with the handle of his knife, Chen Yu's mind was a little heavy, compared to those recruits who had only been in the army for a few years, he had been rolling on the battlefield since he was eleven or twelve years old, and he didn't have much confidence in this war.

The female military god is indeed a last resort, at least in the past few years of war, that woman can always calculate clearly, every time she wins more with less, and beats the golden soldiers to the head.

But this time the Jin Kingdom attacked, it was not the eighty or ninety thousand miscellaneous armies in the past, not only the three armies of the famous Sand Devil, Fierce Crocodile, and Terror Claw in the Jin Kingdom, but even heard that the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom personally drove out to the battle, and there were no less than four people in the Seven Realms of the entourage, but in the entire Yizhou defense line, there were only three people in the Seven Realms sitting here.

Moreover, I heard that the female military god went to the national capital to ask for help two days ago, what a brainless girl, can't she get her hands to ask for help, why do you have to go by yourself? As soon as she leaves, how can she stop the 300,000 troops outside the city?

Spit into the palm of his hand, Chen Yu rubbed it vigorously, his eyes were a little gloomy, although the girl made some arrangements before leaving, but he didn't believe that these arrangements alone could block the enemy, as long as there was a mistake in one link, it would definitely collapse on the whole line, and at that time, the 70,000 Liao soldiers here would directly become the knife of the 300,000 gold people on the opposite side.

He was looking at the wind and sand outside the city, and walked a team of soldiers, led by his henchmen, this kid didn't like Liao knives, but created a scimitar made by the Jin Army, so that he couldn't raise his head in front of his colleagues on weekdays, and he couldn't quarrel, once the other party lost the quarrel, as long as he threw out a sentence "How is the golden dog under you", he couldn't speak.

So when he saw the Jin Guo-style scimitar on the kid's waist, Chen Yu's eyes became a little more irritable, and he had the urge to snatch the knife away and throw it away.

The kid obviously saw what Chen Yu meant, and quickly covered the scimitar on his waist, and sneered: "Boss, I spent a lot of money to build this thing, you can throw my daughter-in-law, but you can't throw me this baby!"

Chen Yu spat, lifted the knife and pointed it at the other party's crotch with the scabbard, and said with a wicked smile: "Then do you want this baby, or do you want this baby?"

Seeing that his henchman's face was red, Chen Yu sneered, withdrew the knife, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has worked hard these days, and when the Jin soldiers have retreated, Lao Tzu invites you to go to the city to find the girl." ”

The soldiers around cheered when they heard this, but the young man who loved the Pekin scimitar came over and whispered, "Boss, I heard that the marshal has returned to China?"

Seeing Chen Yu's gloomy eyes, the young man hurriedly smiled and said, "I heard that." ”

"It's okay to mutter these things, I was caught by the inspection team when I turned around, and Lao Tzu couldn't save you," he slashed his neck with a knife in his hand, Chen Yu snorted coldly, "When the time comes, your head will be chopped off with a knife." ”

Shrinking his neck, the young man smiled dryly: "Don't worry, I'll be talking in front of you, boss." ”

When he was in the army in his early years, he was fortunate to follow the regent Han Derang, but unfortunately his qualifications were shallow, and he didn't learn much about military ability from this regent, but he learned four or five percent of the style of this high-ranking person.

The two were talking, and suddenly there was a terrible horn sound outside the city, and then they felt that the city wall under their feet shook slightly, and the dust and smoke outside the city suddenly rose.

"The enemy army is about to attack the city!" Chen Yu glanced at it a few times, and immediately turned his head and shouted.

As the herald at the head of the city sounded the horn, the Liao soldiers in the city rushed up, and the stubborn armor soldiers gathered at the head of the city, and the equipment for defending the city such as bed crossbows, rolling logs, and boulders were also piled up on the head of the city one by one.

Looking at the tens of thousands of golden soldiers who stretched for miles outside the city, Chen Yu's heart was a little heavy, as one of the only two acropolis in Yizhou City, the garrison of Yiwu City was only 15,000 people, and the confrontation a few days ago had already lost more than 2,000 people, although it was said that there was the convenience of the city wall, but it was not easy to resist the nearly 80,000 golden soldiers outside.

As preparations began to be made, the rest of the generals in the city also rushed to the city, and when they saw the situation outside, one of the generals frowned and said, "It's not right." ”

Chen Yu sighed, the previous few days of the Jin people's siege of the city was thunder and rain, and there were no more than 10,000 people dispatched each time, but before it started today, it had already poured out, and this posture was completely to complete the battle.

The commander of Yiwu City observed for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "According to the marshal's previous arrangement, Xiao Cai and Yeluhong, you lead the black and white wolf to assemble at the north and south gates, and prepare to attack around the rear, and the rest of the people will fight here with me." ”

"Whew!" the two generals named Xiao Cai and Yeluhong agreed with their fists, and then went down the city and hurried to the north and south gates, where three thousand wolf riders had already been arranged.

Although Chen Weijia left the front line, she made a lot of arrangements in advance, which was enough for the front line to hold out until she returned, after all, it would take two days at most to go back and forth between Yizhou and Kuitun.

In the time of half a pillar of incense, the army of 80,000 Jin Guo had already set up a formation, but they did not directly attack as before, but the formation slowly dispersed, and hundreds of catapults that were rare outside the fortress were launched from them.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yu and the others were shocked.

You must know that the area outside the fortress is vast, the distance between each city is hundreds of miles, and it is not easy to transport heavy equipment such as catapults and wells, so in the past siege wars, it was often forced to attack by infantry troops, and there were few battles using such equipment.

After a short period of consternation, Chen Yu and the other generals all laughed, and the commander of Yiwu City laughed wildly: "The marshal is really clever, knowing that these golden dogs will use catapults to attack the city, come here, let these golden dogs see our preparations!"

The next moment, I saw a group of soldiers carrying a basket of stinking black copper balls onto the city, and Chen Yu and the others sneered when they saw these black balls.

These copper balls are specially treated, coated with fire oil on the outside and stuffed on the inside*, and they can cause violent explosions by shooting them with a modified bed crossbow immediately after ignition, which is a very strong means of restraining these catapults.

Because of the preparation, the Yiwu City side was the first to attack, more than a dozen bed crossbows opened fire almost at the same time, and one after another burning copper balls roared out, rushing towards the catapults outside the city with great precision, immediately triggering a series of explosions, except for those that were missed, a full twelve catapults were blown up alive.

However, the next moment, the golden soldiers also launched a counterattack, and hundreds of hundred-pound boulders rose into the air, drawing arcs one after another, and smashed towards the city.

Chen Yu pulled out the knife out of the sheath, and the true qi of the five realms was suddenly pulled out, turning into a sword light and sweeping out, directly smashing several boulders, and at the same time, all the masters above the five realms in the city also shot one after another, smashing most of the falling stones, although the rest was smashed at the head of the city, but the reinforced city wall only shook slightly, at most smashed out pieces of dirt.

"I really don't know what kind of madness these golden dogs are making, and they dare to attack the city?" Pursing his lips, Chen Yu sneered, "Even if the marshal didn't prepare in advance, it would be impossible to defeat us with these catapults alone?"

A general next to him rubbed his sore wrist and scolded with a smile: "Lao Chen, you really deserve to be a Song person, and you can say such elegant words to your son!"

"Don't you look down on people? Tell you, Grandpa Lao Tzu used to be the county commander of the Song Dynasty. Chen Yu laughed.

Several people are fighting kung fu, and the two sides of the siege and defense of the city exchanged firepower again, each with a certain amount of damage, but the Jin army threw only a boulder, but the copper ball shot by Xiliao has fire oil, *, and the power is greater, even if the five realms block it, it will also be injured to a certain extent.

I don't know why, although the Jin people put on a siege posture, except for those catapults that were pushed to the front of the battle, there was not a single soldier coming up, but they just kept using catapults to throw boulders, and Chen Yu and others who watched it were inexplicable.

The confrontation between each other was fierce, and a general who was in charge of guarding the copper ball suddenly looked at him and said sharply: "Something happened at the south gate!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all looked in the direction of the south gate, only to see wolf smoke billowing and faint shouts of killing, and suddenly Chen Yu and the others all changed their faces.

According to Chen Weijia's arrangement, if the Jin soldiers put on a desperate posture of attacking the city, then the Liao army first consumed the copper ball of fire oil and then fought and retreated, gave up the city wall, and lured the Jin soldiers into the city.

However, at this moment, there is a change in the south gate, which means that only the three thousand black wolf cavalry at the north gate can raid the golden soldiers, so that the number of strange soldiers who have suddenly halved may not be able to complete the effect estimated in advance.

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the south gate, the general who first discovered the abnormality of the south gate suddenly slapped out his palm, and the palm power was as blazing as fire, not only shattering countless copper balls of fire oil, but also igniting the fire oil and * with the power of the flame palm.

Chen Yu, who heard the movement, turned his head and happened to see this scene, and suddenly said in shock: "Qu Qulu, what are you doing?"

The general named Qu Qu Lu grinned, and before he could speak, the pile of copper balls that had been ignited had exploded.

Qu Zhulu was the person in charge of taking care of the copper balls, and under his arrangement, these copper balls were piled up together, because the war came, and the others did not pay attention to this problem, so that at this moment, the power of the explosion of thousands of copper balls was completely concentrated together.

With a bang, everyone in the city felt as if their heads had been hammered hard, and even the generals of the Five Realms had no time to release their true qi to protect their bodies, and they were swept out by the explosion along with the surrounding soldiers.

This explosion was too terrifying, accompanied by a thick smoke that rushed to the sky, this section of the city wall was actually blown up, and the stumps, dirt chips, and broken iron were scattered in all directions, as if it was a rainstorm of flesh and blood, even the Jin army three miles away was chaotic by the formation of the explosion wave, and it took a long time to reorganize to normal.

Chen Yu was lucky, the position he was standing in was exactly behind the commander of Yiwu City, and the commander of the Six Realms Sect finally supported his true qi in a moment before the explosion wave, although he did not exert his full strength because he was caught off guard, so that the defense only lasted for a moment, but it also helped Chen Yu defuse most of the impact, so that he survived.

But even so, Chen Yu, who was lifted high by the blast wave and then fell down along with the collapsed city wall, his whole body was broken, his ears were buzzing, he couldn't hear the slightest sound, and his eyes covered with blood could only barely see the ruins around him that were heavily submerged.

"Traitor, traitor......" opened his mouth, Chen Yu looked at Qu Qu Lu who fled from the explosion wave because he had been prepared, but because the injury was too serious, his voice was as weak as a mosquito, and no one could hear it at all.

Qu Zhulu didn't notice the seriously injured and dying Chen Yu at all, after blowing up the city wall, he flew down the city wall, went straight to the front of the Jin army array, bowed respectfully towards a purple-clothed young man, and chuckled: "I've seen the national teacher." ”

Ding Yanzhi ignored him, just stared at the gap in the ruins that were still burning, and with a wave of his hand, Wan Yan Jian and Wan Yan Kang beside him immediately led the army into the city.

It wasn't until all the 80,000 Jin troops entered the city that Ding Yanzhi looked at Qu Qu Lu, who was a little cramped, and said with a smile: "It took four years to sneak into Xiliao, but do you feel hard?"

Although Ding Yanzhi's smile was gentle, Qu Zhulu couldn't help but bury his head lower.

Four years ago, he was suddenly told that he wanted to lurk in Xiliao, at that time he had met Ding Yanzhi once, at that time the other party was still a weak scholar, and his plan to lurk in Xiliao was also handled by the other party.

Although he was disdainful of this young man's strength, he still felt frightened by the meticulous and flawless layout of the other party when he traveled westward, which was really fine to every word, every person and everything, and also allowed him to successfully dispel Xiliao's suspicions, break into it, and successfully become the general of Yiwu City.

Who would have thought that in just four years, the other party has grown to the height that he must look up to, especially the courage of the other party, which is in harmony with the national strength of Mongolia and Mongolia, which suffocates him.

After being distracted for a moment, Qu Chulu suddenly came back to his senses, and seeing that the other party was already smiling and impatient, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and quickly replied: "Don't dare, this matter is to contribute to my Great Mongolia......

Ding Yanzhi smiled: "Don't dare, isn't it?"

Qu Chulu's heart tightened, and he was about to explain, but Ding Yanzhi had already waved his hand and said indifferently: "Yiwu City is broken, your task is over, pack up, and go back to Fengzhou tomorrow, your family has regained their freedom." ”

Qu Chulu cried with joy, and hurriedly prostrate on the ground: "Thank you, Master Guoshi." ”

Ding Yanzhi didn't look at him anymore, turned his head to look at the charred ruins, and through the gap, he clearly saw the Jin army that was killing frantically in the city.

With a sigh, Ding Yanzhi closed his eyes and spread out a map in his heart that covered the entire Western Liao border.

At the same time as the destruction of Yiwu City, similar plots were being staged in other cities on the border of Western Liao, but no matter how different the plots were, the final result would be the same.

Chen Weijia is indeed a genius in the military path, and her military strategy, marching, and formation are all outstanding, if nothing else, the arrangements before she returned to Kuitun were enough to stop the Jin army for two days.

Unfortunately, she bumped into herself.

Compared with Yangmou, Ding Yanzhi is inferior to Xu Xuanrong; compared to spying on people's hearts, Ding Yanzhi is inferior to Song Kai; compared to the sword, he is far inferior to Yao Ruoyu.

However, what he is best at is to use his strength.

If you have a hammer, I will swing a thousand pounds, if you meet you with a small one, I will break the skill with my strength, if you are upright, I will conspire with each other.

In the top ten of the splendid list, no one can say that they can be the first, but looking at China, who dares to use tricks in front of Ding Yanzhi?

He is at the bottom of the list, and he is the first on the list!

Everyone in the world can compete with Ding Yanzhi, but he can stand proudly at the peak and overlook the world's strategists!
