Chapter 201: Huailai Night Battle

There was no accident, it didn't even take an hour, and Alum Mountain was occupied by the Su family's army. Another Jingguan of more than 900 people was erected high, followed by a search for money, gathering Han people, and looking for suitable soldiers.

In the afternoon, the army left Alum Mountain and headed straight for Huailai City in the northeast. Because of its geographical location, Huailai has always been a battleground for soldiers.

It wasn't until the sixteen states of Yanyun were owned by Liao that the geographical location here was not so important.

The accumulation of past eras, Huailai City is still very large-scale, with a population of 30,000 in the city, a cavalry battalion and three infantry battalions.

Even if something unexpected happens, there is no problem in defending the city. The Liao general who guarded Huai was named Tan Kai, and he was originally a person who knew the soldiers.

But after living comfortably for a long time, he has long lost his vigilance. Even today, the imperial court's herald arrived and said that a Song army, led by a fifteen-year-old man named Su Shi, had entered the Liao realm and burned everywhere.

He didn't care about it after reading it, but instead sneered a few times.

"Da Liao is really degenerate, can't even beat a doll who can't stand up? It is ridiculous to give such an order. After the taunt, Tan Kai did whatever he should do, and he didn't think about strengthening any defense, let alone thinking that Su Shi would appear here in him.

Isn't this something that should be a headache for those officials in Zhuozhou and Yizhou? Outside the city, the sun had already set, and some dark shadows were approaching the city gate in a creeping way under the cover of night.

The person who came was the black horseman, the real black horseman, the group of well-trained elite divisions on Shangcang Mountain.

Rushing all the way from Dafang Mountain to Xinzhou, all the soldiers were tired, and it was said that they should have a good rest in Jinshan City.

But Su Shi gave the order to rest in his arms. Although everyone was tired, no one dared to disobey the young marshal's order, on the contrary, they heard that they were going to come to the city, and everyone was still very excited.

Wang Can then volunteered to snatch the task of this pioneer. When he was very young, Wang Can had heard of Huailai City, and knew that this place had always been the land of the Han people, and he dreamed of recovering it and coming to see the great rivers and mountains of the Han people.

Unexpectedly, this dream is really about to come true, although with their current strength, even if they occupy this place, they will not be able to live for a long time, but he is already very satisfied to be able to come here and kill Liao Dog.

He also believed that as long as he followed the young marshal, one day he would really regain these places as the land of the Han people.

Wang Can was followed by a hundred elite black riders, all of whom were congested with blood in their eyes, but they were all in good spirits. After they quietly came to the south gate of Huailai City, they waited for the late night to come while recovering their strength.

In the middle of the night, the resting black riders took out the flying claws from their bodies, and then they were thrown high one by one and hung on the stone wall of the city tower.

On the tower of Huailai City, some figures can be seen walking around from time to time, which are the Liao soldiers who are responsible for night duty.

But they just walked around the situation, and no one really went to inspect it, some of them had been here for more than ten years, and had never encountered a war, so their vigilance had already dropped to the lowest point.

Although Tan Kai received the military report, he did not convey it to the following, he did not want to make people panic because of the impossibility of happening, which created an opportunity for the black knight to go to the city.

A warrior must always be vigilant, because no one knows when war will come and when it will break out.

Once a soldier relaxes his spirit, he often has to pay a heavy price in blood and life. When they were on Cangshan Mountain, Wang Can and they had learned to climb, and one by one they followed the ropes thrown by the flying claws towards the city, and their movements were as fast as spirit monkeys, and they were so lifeless.

When they all went up to the city tower one by one, and bent down with swords and came behind a famous Liao soldier who defended the city, leaving a deadly bloody wound on their necks, there was no change except for a bloody breath in the wind.

After the first step of the plan was successfully completed, Wang Can led people down the stone steps to the city gate, where the four Liao soldiers were sleeping, not knowing that death was already beckoning to them.

With a light footstep, he stepped forward, stretched out his knife to seal his throat, and the figures of the four Liao soldiers were caught by the black cavalry when they fell, and they were carefully placed aside.

Soon after, the heavy gates creaked open from within. At night, such a sound was a bit harsh, and the Liao people who lived near here heard it.

But no one got up to even look at it, they had lived comfortably for too long, and they didn't think there was any danger here.

At the city gate, a large number of black horsemen wore grass in their mouths, wrapped their horses' hooves, and led their horses through the city gate.

"Well done." Ji Zhu's palm fell on Wang Can's shoulder, giving praise. The next moment, Ji Zhu took the lead and got on the horse, followed by the others.

"Everyone, kill!"

"Kill!" Huailai City at night is boiling. When the sound of horses' hooves kept ringing in the city, Tan Kai was still sleeping in his own house, and there was a graceful Han woman beside him.

After the event, Tan Kai had already forgotten the military report he received during the day, and he was now meeting Zhou Gong in a dream.

The sudden sound of horses' hooves reminded Tan Kai of the scene of galloping on the battlefield in his dream, and when he was still wielding his sword to lead the army forward, suddenly a clearer voice came from his ears,

"General, general, something is wrong, an enemy has come to the city." Like a dream, Tan Kai didn't answer immediately, until the shout sounded for the second time, waking up the women around him, and after she nudged Tan Kai a few times, he opened his eyes in a daze,

"Why disturb people's dreams?" As soon as she opened her eyes, her face was full of displeasure, and the frightened woman closed her mouth and didn't dare to make any sound.

"Humph!" Tan Kai, who had a displeasure in his nose, wanted to turn his head and continue to sleep. But at this time, the voice outside the door sounded three times,

"General, are you up? An enemy has entered the city. ”

"Ahh What? Suddenly, he sat up. Maybe it was too fast, and I couldn't keep up with my breath, until I adjusted two or three breaths, and then I jumped out of bed, and at the same time reached out and took my waist knife and asked,

"What did you just say, say it again."

"General, there is an enemy entering the city, and there are a lot of cavalry." The people who came continued to shout, this meeting had been delayed for too much time, and it was obvious that there was a cry in the shouting.

When he finally heard it clearly, Tan Xing jumped violently, and suddenly he thought of the battle report he received during the day, and his face changed even more.

"Could it really be that Su Shi killed him? But this... It seems impossible, we are some distance from Dafang Mountain. Thinking like this in his heart, the movement of Tan Kai's hand was not slow, and after putting the armor hanging on the wall on his body, he walked out of the door, and the voice came out immediately,

"Gather the guards now, and we'll kill them." Until this time, Tan Kai still had no intention of escaping, he still wanted to compete with Su Jiajun.

Even he thought of another possibility, that is, to inflict heavy damage on the Su family army by himself, wouldn't that be a great achievement.

The idea seems to be good, but Tan Kai, who has not trained for too long, has long been less physically than before, and when he took the guards to the stable in the mansion to ride his war horse and rush out of the mansion, he was already a little out of breath.

Tan Kai attributed all this to some nervous reasons. Then he led the team out of the house and into the streets.

I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, as soon as I came out, I ran into Feng Yidao, a thousand-captain patrolling the nearby streets.

said that it was a patrol, but Feng Yidao was looking for a valuable target to attack. This time, Su Jiajun's time was urgent, and the scouts didn't have time to explore the situation in the city, and they didn't have a clue about the distribution of some important buildings in Huailai City.

As a result, after entering the city, they searched everywhere for valuable enemies. Feng Yidao led three squadrons, and less than four hundred cavalry were in charge of this area.

Coincidentally, he saw a cavalry column of about dozens of people coming. At first, Feng Yidao thought that this was his own army, and asked in a loud voice,

"Which squadron are you from, have you found out?" This shout was an authentic Song accent, and when he heard Tan Kai's ears, he could tell that this was Song Jun.

Then where will it be polite, this will speed up the horse, and rush up with teeth and claws.

"It's not good, it's the enemy." As soon as he saw that the other party launched an attack without saying a word, Feng Yidao reacted quickly.

At this time, the distance was already very close, and it was too late to use a strong bow, so Feng Yidao simply led someone to meet him with a knife.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and when they could already see each other's numbers, Tan Kai also noticed that the Song army on the opposite side had at least more than three hundred horsemen, which was several times more than his.

If it was daytime, when he encountered such a situation, Tan Kai might turn around and run away. But now, he was not afraid at all, on the contrary, he had his own thoughts, that is, to slash Feng Yidao, the chief general of the Song army.

He had fought against the Song army, and he had won more with less. In his opinion, the soldiers of the Song army fought bravely, but their generals were not mediocre.

And as long as they can kill their commanding generals, those ordinary soldiers will be in a state of confusion, so that they will turn around and run, and they will not have to worry about losing their morale.

The Song army in front of him should also be like this, as long as he is brave enough to kill his generals, it is not impossible to win more with less.

With full confidence, Tan Kai rushed over, and the saber in his hand was even higher in the air, waiting for the best opportunity to strike down.
