Chapter 552: Kecheng (Third Update)
Chapter 552: Kecheng
At the foot of Mukezhai Mountain, after just half an hour, there was already a river of blood.
When the humming of the brains of the cottage guests stopped, they were crowded by the people of Mukezhai and came to the foot of the mountain, and saw hundreds of half-human deep earth pits, covering the entire foot of the mountain.
There were more or less fragments of stumps in these pits, and even many Khitan soldiers who were shocked to death were bleeding and fell directly to the ground.
At this time, Yang Zongbao was taking the mandarin duck army to gather the frightened war horses.
The Khitan soldiers were basically one person and two horses, and the Han soldiers were one person and one horse, and after this battle, Yang Zongbao gathered more than 15,000 war horses.
It's a pity that these horses are now frightened and can't be ridden.
Yang Zongbao had no choice but to rule the Orions who were proficient in riding in Muke Village, and went down the mountain to guard and pacify these horses, and when the sky was a little darker, he took the already integrated team and marched towards Zhuozhou City.
At this time, five miles away from Zhuozhou, there is a military camp established by the mountain, and the precautions are cautious, but unfortunately only a middle tent is set up, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are stationed in the open space, strictly guarded, and look at the Zhuozhou city in the distance.
And in the middle tent, two people were sitting cross-legged drinking each other.
"General Yang, in the past, I didn't expect it to be presented within a year, I am here, replacing wine with tea, first congratulations to Tianbo Mansion on its promotion to the noble gate," Li Jixuan said, raising the tea bowl in his hand and drinking with Yang Yanzhao, who was sitting on the left side.
Yang Yanzhao smiled humbly: "I also want to thank Lord Li for his support, if the dog can subdue the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun this time, it will definitely be Lord Li's leadership." ”
"Eh," Li Jixuan shook his head and sighed: "This is the credit of your Yang family, what does it have to do with me, I just hope that after subduing Youzhou this time, I can go home to recuperate!" ”
"Lord Li is in the prime of life, don't say such embarrassing words," Yang Yanzhao persuaded like this, knowing in his heart that if his son Yang Zongbao regained the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun with the help of Mu Kezhai this time, the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion would inevitably become the top wealthy family in the Great Song Dynasty.
From then on, the Yang family was about to leave the army.
And after the Yang family left, the candidate to guard Youzhou could only be Li Jixuan in front of him.
Therefore, Li Jixuan will be busy in the future.
From Mukezhai to Zhuozhou is only a few dozen miles away, the sun is setting, and everyone begins to hurry, because today is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moonlight spreads the earth, even if it is a night march, there is nothing wrong with it.
Yang Zongbao took the Mandarin Duck Army, as well as the 10,000 soldiers trained by Mu Kezhai in the past half a month, and finally came to the city of Zhuozhou in the middle of the moon.
"Today's battle is successful, and tomorrow you will conquer the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun!"
Yang Zongbao rushed over with everyone non-stop, wasn't it just to subdue Youzhou, at this time, he had only driven more than fifty miles, and he was riding a horse, how could he stop.
Someone had already prepared, two divine arm crossbows, and the god arm crossbow had a lit explosive bag tied to it.
With a roar, it crashed directly into Zhuozhou City.
This battle is destined to shock the mountains and rivers.
Today is destined to shake the world.
The strength and weakness of the Liao and Song dynasties will be rewritten from today.
And what can rewrite the national situation of the two countries is the black powder developed by Yang Zongbao.
Gunpowder has appeared a long time ago, and the power is not great, mainly because the sound is amazing, so it is also known as thunderbolt gunpowder by the world.
But as soon as the black powder came out, it was not a matter of making a loud noise, and the power of the explosion increased dozens or hundreds of times almost instantly.
The bundle of explosives was not well adjusted due to the angle of the divine arm crossbow, and it was shot directly into the north tower of Zhuozhou City.
I could only hear a 'boom'.
A sky-high flame, rising in the night sky, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Yang Zongbao didn't expect that the explosive package that was supposed to blow up the city gate did not blow up the city gate, but instead blew up the Khitan guards arranged at the north city gate.
This can be considered a mistake.
"Relaunch!"
Yang Zongbao gave an order, and the Divine Arm Crossbow whistled again, and a huge arrow flew towards the city gate with a new explosive package.
Boom –
This time the position is correct, but it's still a bit closer.
Boom –
This time it was blown up, but there should be something blocked behind the north city gate, although the city gate was shattered, but the flames rose into the air, and the black hole behind it did not seem to be thorough.
Boom –
Boom –
Boom –
……
Yang Zongbao brought a total of twenty explosives bags this time, and shot them all into Zhuozhou City in one go.
The entire north gate of Zhuozhou City has been blown up, and at least more than three thousand Khitan soldiers were frightened by the sudden explosion, and then directly lost their combat effectiveness.
"Kill ......"
Yang Zongbao took the lead and marched towards Zhuozhou City with the Mandarin Duck Army!
In the city of Zhuozhou, the Khitan gathered about 100,000 soldiers and horses, of which 50,000 were Han soldiers.
During the day, Xiao Tianyou took away 16,000 people, but in fact, there were more than 80,000 people in the city, of which 40,000 were assigned to guard the four city gates.
There are about 10,000 people guarding the north gate.
Now that the internal organs were dislocated by this earth-shattering thunderbolt, and seeing that the city gate tower was blown down, those soldiers were so frightened that their souls were scattered, where could they gather to resist.
Even Xiao Tianzuo, the king of the Southern Courtyard, was pale at the moment, lost his soul, sitting in his own hall, having lost his will to resist, and was waiting for his own destiny to come.
This kind of power of heavenly thunder is already a fairy method.
Didn't the Holy Master say that immortals are not allowed to meddle in mortal affairs?
Xiao Tianzuo couldn't figure it out, he could only be gloomy, and poured cup after cup of bitter wine into his stomach.
I don't know how many glasses he drank, his eyes were already bloodshot, and the sound of fighting outside was rapidly approaching.
Suddenly, outside the Nanyuan Mansion, there was a loud shout, and a silver-armored young general broke in and killed the Quartet.
"You are Yang Zongbao, the grandson of Yang Invincible?"
When Xiao Tianzuo saw the person coming, his originally decadent look shook his spirit, and he asked loudly.
"It's Master Ben, are you Xiao Tianzuo from Liao?"
"Yes, it's the king!"
"I'm here today to avenge the killing of my ancestors, and when I get to the Yama Palace, don't find the wrong person," Yang Zongbao can't have the heart to kill, otherwise Da Luo Jin Xian's state of mind is unstable, and he will be abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.
But this Xiao Tianzuo killed several people of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, and as a descendant of the Yang family, he took revenge, even if it was Heavenly Dao, he had to be commended.
This is 'the cause and cause of this effect, and the way of heaven is good for reincarnation'.
As soon as the knife went down, the hot blood in his neck gushed straight high, and it was so big that it rolled directly on the ground more than ten meters away, and then stopped.
Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou's brothers, all of them entered reincarnation within one day, and they can be regarded as companions.
And Yang Zongbao killed Xiao Tianzuo, which can be regarded as occupying Zhuozhou City.
However, the sixteen states of Youyun, Yan (You), Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, Shun, Yun, Confucian, Confucian, Concubine, Wu, Xin, Wei, Ying, Huan, Shuo, are distributed on both sides of Taihang Mountain.
Now Zhuozhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Danzhou, and Shunzhou are in the northeast of Taihang, of which Yingzhou has been recovered by the Great Song Dynasty.
Now Yang Zongbao has only recovered the most important Zhuozhou, and other states such as Yan, Ji, Mo, Tan, and Shun still need him to recover them quickly.
Otherwise, once the Khitans mobilized troops and horses from Shangjing, I am afraid it would be another protracted battle of attrition.
Therefore, as soon as Yang Zongbao pacified Zhuozhou, he sent people to invite Li Jixuan and Yang Yanzhao, who were stationed five or six miles south of Zhuozhou City, to come and accept the defense of Zhuozhou.
And Yang Zongbao took the Mandarin Duck Army he formed, as well as 10,000 Mukezhai soldiers, and the new explosives package sent by Yang Yanzhao, and continued to advance to the next station.
If the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are not completely recovered, Yang Zongbao will not stop.
