Chapter 111, Family Affection in the War.

Offensive is a very false thing, but it plays a key role on the battlefield. Yang Gui led five hundred iron horsemen and directly intervened from the formation of more than 20,000 Liao troops outside the city. A fierce charge, five hundred iron horsemen, lost more than sixty people. The effect of the Iron Cavalry interspersing the enemy line is significant.

The Liao army of more than 20,000 besieging the city suddenly focused on Yang Gui and Tie Cai. The Liao army, which was close to Yang Gui and the Iron Cavalry, all reversed their offensive and jointly strangled them. Yang Gui held a big gun in his hand and crisscrossed the military formation. The big gun in his hand was either stabbed or smashed, and the attack was fierce. The Liao army that tried to block Yang Gui was repelled by Yang Gui's fierce offensive.

Crossing the enemy's military formation. Yang Gui did not retreat because of this, but bypassed the pursuers and inserted himself from the left side of the Liao army. Facing the rampage of the Iron Rider torrent. The formation of the Liao army was completely disorganized. The generals and colonels on the battlefield shouted loudly to organize the formation. However, the Liao army has always been of nomadic origin, and it is difficult to compare them with the Song army in terms of formation coordination.

Especially after the Liao Kingdom, except for the leather army that was loyal to the royal family, the armies of the other tribes were basically in a state of self-training and self-training of each tribe. Therefore, the Liao army's formation is chaotic, and it is difficult to unite and form effective combat effectiveness. There are those who are timid, those who are cowardly after seeing Yang Gui's bravery, and there are also those who are brave and want to rush up and fight Yang Gui for their lives. One advances and one retreats, and the advances and retreats are inconsistent.

The battlefield in front of Yanmen Pass suddenly became chaotic. Yang Yanzhao seized the opportunity at this time, and faced the Liao army with no reinforcements at the head of the city, and launched a fierce strangulation. After Yang Gui rushed outside the city, Yang Yanzhao had already wiped out the Liao army that had climbed to the top of the city. "Rubbish!" Yelu Hugo, who was watching the battle from afar on the hillside, burst into angry cheers.

Xiao Tianzuo drooped his head, and he didn't dare to gasp. Both of them knew in their hearts that they knew who the waste in Brother Yeluwolf's mouth was. The 'waste' in Yelu Wolf's mouth broadly refers to the nobles of the eight Khitan tribes. Since Brother Yelu took over the military power, he has never stopped despising the nobles of these Khitan eight tribes.

"A bunch of short-sighted trash." This is Brother Yeluwolf's evaluation of the nobles of the Khitan Eight Tribes. A group of villains who fight for power and profit, selfishly fighting. A group of villains who only know how to defend themselves, but don't know how to maintain the country of Liao. It is because of the existence of these guys that most of the army of the Liao State is in the hands of the tribes themselves.

These people were reluctant to surrender military power, which led to most of the Liao army's being left in silos. There is no uniform training, or uniform military law. The armies of the tribes, in the battle array, can not be used like arms at all. This is also the only disadvantage of the army of the Liao State against the army of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Pass the order, order the men and horses of the other departments, and be ready to attack at any time." Brother Yelu was angry, but he was helpless. He was promoted by the Empress Dowager Xiao, and if the Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to control the entire Liao State, she had to rely on the nobles of the eight Khitan tribes. Therefore, neither he nor Empress Dowager Xiao can turn their faces against these people.

They can only hope that the young emperor can grow up as soon as possible and control the entire Liao State as soon as possible. And then punish these people severely. Everything you can't do can only be pinned on your juniors. Outside the Yanmen Pass, the camp of Qidahar in a mile. Beggar was roaring angrily, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening? The Song people only sent 500 cavalry, and they turned the general's men on their backs. ”

Li Chongzhi lowered his head helplessly, he knew why, but he couldn't say. However, there was one man who did not have such consideration. That was Xiao Duli, who had just arrived at the camp of Beggar Har.

Xiao Xuanli stroked his long beard and said indifferently: "Why is this happening?" This is a simple question, because you have not trained enough of the army on a daily basis, and you have not strictly followed the military law training that Jeruxiugo sent to the tribes. That's why it was rushed by people and fell apart. Beggar wanted to go back, but unfortunately Xiao Duli's seniority was higher than him, and his status was higher than him, so he could only barely squeeze out a smiling face and said: "Xiao Shizhong, in the current situation, tell me, what should I do?" ”

Li Chongzhi interjected and said tentatively: "Why don't you ...... Withdraw the troops, right? Xiao Duli shook his head and said, "It's not enough to withdraw troops. The Song people blatantly opened the city gate and rushed out to kill, if we don't respond, the morale of the army will be lost. And it will also make the Song people inferior to my Liao people. And ......"

Beggar asked, "And what?" Xiao Du Li Chengzhu smiled in his chest and said: "Moreover, this may be an opportunity to overcome the Yanmen Pass, maybe ......" "How do you say this?" Xiao Duli narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "As long as we strangle this cavalry, we force them to come from and go back." When the time comes, we will be able to rush in while they enter the city. ”

Li Chongzhi frowned and said, "What if...... What if these people are treated as outcasts? Xiao Xuan Li said with a smile: "There are people under the old man who have been to the Song Kingdom, and just now they came to tell the old man that the commander of this cavalry outside the city is Yang Gui, the son of Yang Yanzhao. Do you think Yang Yanzhao will be ruthless in letting his son die? Even if Yang Yanzhao is ruthless, as long as we kill Yang Gui, even if we are defeated this time, in front of Brother Yelu Wolf, it can be regarded as meritorious. ”

Li Chongxue's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Lord Xiao is wise, and the five bodies that his subordinates admire are thrown to the ground." There are still 1,000 relatives in the subordinate family, and they are willing to take it out to strangle Yang Gui. Beggar frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I will also send a thousand men to let my chief of the guard, Zhegu, pinch the commander." I must rub the sharp spirit of the Song people, relieve the hatred in my heart, and avenge my clansmen who died in battle. ”

Xiao Duli smiled: "Since this idea was came up with by the old man, the old man also joined in the fun." The old man also sent a thousand people to go with you to exterminate Yang Gui. Beggar sat down on the blanket, waved his hand in frustration, and said, "I won't go, and all the military affairs will be bothered by the two of you." Li Chongzhu wanted to speak, but Xiao Lu Li took the first step and said, "It's okay." Beggar Har, since you don't like to go into battle and kill enemies. Then stay here, and when we kill Yang Yande, we will count you as a credit. ”

Xiao Luli immediately got the temporary military power of the beggar department. As a man with a strong desire for power, he was pleased with his performance and the incompetence of Beggar Har. Although Xiao Luli is old, he is a doer. Since it was decided to strangle Yang Wu, there was no hesitation. 1,000 people from the beggar department, 1,000 people from the Li family, and 1,000 people from Xiao Lu Li quickly gathered in front of the military tent.

These 3,000 men and horses are the elite in their respective hands. Especially the Li family of Li Chongxue, the personal entourage of the Li family of 1,000 people, can almost be said to be the family background of the Li family. In order to get one step closer, Li Chongzhi can be regarded as fighting. Since they are all elites, it is naturally impossible to entrust them to others. Led by Xiao Xuan Li, Li Chongzhi and Zhegu pinched as the left and right vanguards, the three of them rushed into the military formation outside Yanmen Pass with 3,000 men and horses, and quickly rushed towards Yang Gui.

Yang Gui also observed the cavalry of three thousand people. In this regard, Yang Gui had no fear, and led the remaining iron cavalry of more than 300 people under his command, and collided with the cavalry of 3,000 people. It's hard to touch, just a touch. The more than 300 iron horsemen under Yang Gui were suddenly reduced to more than 200. Xiao Duli held a big knife in his hand, stroked his beard, looked at the embarrassed Yang Gui, and said with a smile: "Yang Gui, surrender!" If you are willing to surrender, the old man will promote you as a marquis. If you can convince your father to surrender, the old man will ensure that your Yang family is full of wealth. ”

Yang Gui's face turned ruthless, and he fought with Xiao Duli again with a big gun. Although Xiao Xuan Li is old, his martial arts are not weak, and Yang Wu did not take advantage. Xiao Luli continued: "My king has an order, if the Yang family is willing to surrender, he will give you one, and the eight Khitan divisions will become the nine Khitan divisions. Your Yang family will become a nobleman like the other eight Khitan tribes, and the rest of the country. ”

The Liao army and the Yang family have been fighting for more than thirty years, and the people of the Yang family have any ability, and the Liao people know better than the Song people. Those who know you are often your enemies. It is precisely because the Liao people understand the Yang family that Empress Dowager Xiao is willing to offer such a large price. In this regard, no one of the Khitan eight tribes objected.

It can be seen that the Yang family's status in the hearts of the Liao people. "Phew!" Yang Gui had a cold face, took a sip, and scolded: "Lao Tzu is not rare. "Some people do the happy work of traitors, but no one in the Yang family wants to do it. When Xiao Duli saw Yang Gui's refusal, he smiled hideously. Three thousand cavalry stepped up the offensive.

Yang Gui felt the vigorous pressure. Yang Gui fought and retreated, and ordered his subordinates: "Destroy the boarding car and prepare to retreat." "Sacks of leather bags filled with oil, the sacks of sackcloth hanging from them were set on fire and thrown into the boarding car. The oil bag burned inside the boarding car and exploded, and the fire instantly engulfed the entire boarding car.

"They're going to withdraw...... Here's your chance. The old-eyed Xiao Duli saw Yang Gui's retreat, and he secretly waved his hand to signal his men and horses to slow down the offensive. Everyone who knows Xiao Duli's plan knows that the opportunity has come. Xiao Duli followed Yang Gui and prepared to take the opportunity to break into Yanmen Pass.

Yang Gui seemed to retreat suddenly without hurry, he took Xiao Luli and others around several times. Yang Yanzhao, who had been paying attention to the battle at the head of the city, was slightly stunned when he saw Yang Gui's actions. Then, he muttered to himself, "Wouldn't it be too risky?" Yang Gui deliberately went around a few times, just to deliver a message to Yang Yanzhao.

Yang Yanzhao also understood. Although I feel risky, I can't negotiate it at this time. Since Yang Gui has decided, then simply fight. Yang Yanzhao instructed Wang Gui beside him, "Immediately let all the people in the urn city withdraw from the back door." Then all the crossbowmen were transferred to the urn city to assemble. Then gather together all the remaining logs and stones on the city. ”

Wang Gui did not hesitate and resolutely carried out Yang Yanzhao's order. As time passed, Xiao Duli, who strangled Yang Gui outside the city, saw that Yang Gui had the intention of playing with them.

"Did he see through the plan?" Xiao Duli frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Within a quarter of an hour, if Yang Gui doesn't enter the city again, it proves that our plan has been seen through." When the time comes, you don't have to keep your hands, and you can strangle with all your might. "Yes!" Li Chongzhu and Zhegu pinched and whispered.

Yang Gui slipped away from Xiao Duli for another quarter of an hour, and Xiao Duli directly ordered, "Strangled with all your might." Three thousand cavalry rushed towards Yang Gui with all their might. Suddenly, the gates opened. Yang Gui took the remaining iron cavalry of less than a hundred people, and quickly rode towards the city gate. Xiao Duli was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed. "Here's your chance, rush in!" At this time, there is no need to hide it. Xiao Duli shouted loudly, and three thousand cavalry rushed into the city gate with Xiao Duli.

Yang Gui rushed into the gate of the urn city, and did not stop, the fast horse galloped and rushed through the back gate of the urn city. Immediately after, the back door of the urn city closed. Xiao Duli and a group of people rushed in. Suddenly, from the wall at the front gate of the urn city, patches of rolling logs and gravel fell.

"Oops~" "Ah! "Poof~" "......"

Rolling logs and gravel fell, killing the Liao cavalry as they were advancing. A large pile of rolling logs and stones sealed the city gate at once. "Not good! Hit the trick! Xiao Duli realized that he had been tricked and wanted to kill him, but it was too late. There were countless logs and stones that had sealed the gates of the city, and the flesh and mud of the stoned cavalry and horses were mixed together, and they could not be cleaned up for a while. There's no escape. "Whoosh~"

One by one, the Volcano Army soldiers stood up from the top of the city, bows and crossbows in their hands, and they kept spraying. Zhegu let out a roar, trying to climb the top of the city along the rolling logs and rocks to fight. "Whoosh~" The strong bow in Yang Yanzhao's hand trembled, and an arrow directly pierced Zhegu's head and nailed him to the rolling log.

The soldiers of the Volcano Army continued to harvest the lives of the Liao Army. The more than 1,000 cavalry who rushed into the urn city, in a few breaths, were harvested a full half. "I will surrender!" At the end of the road, Xiao Duli shouted. "I will surrender! I am the Governor of the Great Liao Horse and the Servant Xiao Duli, and I am willing to surrender! "Huh?!"

Wang Gui leaned next to Yang Yanzhao and grinned, "I also caught a big fish." Since Yanmen Pass was besieged, Yang Yanzhao, who had never had a smile on his face, also had a smile on the corner of his mouth. Yang Yanzhao waved his hand and said, "Stop." Yang Yanzhao shouted at the people in Weng City and said, "Put down your weapons, raise your hands, and stand on the wall." Xiao Lu Li and Li Chongzhi, as well as their subordinates, all did so.

Yang Yanzhao sent people to slide down the city with ropes, collected the weapons of these people, and then tied their hands and feet. Except for Xiao Xuan Li and Li Chongxue, the rest of the captives were directly left to clean up the urn city. Yang Gui escorted Xiao Duli and went to the city with a smile.

Waiting! If this is in the Great Song Dynasty, their father and son have to salute when they see them, and now they are arrested by him, how can he not be happy? Outside Yanmen Pass, Yelu Xiuge, who had been observing the battle situation, knew something bad after seeing Xiao Luli and others rushing into the urn city, and the cavalry outside did not rush in.

Brother Yeluwolf's face turned pale and immediately ordered: "Order, the whole army will attack." "Nearly 70,000 Liao troops, like locusts crossing the border, under the leadership of the Xiao brothers, the black pressure pressed towards Yanmen Pass. At the head of the Yanmen Pass, Yang Gui pressed Xiao Du Li and just went to the city, and he saw the Liao army outside the pass. Yang Gui's pupils shrank, and he ordered his subordinates, and said, "Take Xiao Duli to the North Gate City Gate Tower to take a closer look." If he dares to run away, you can do it first. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Luli was taken away, and Yang Gui hurriedly ran to the place where Yang Yanzhao was. When he found Yang Yanzhao, he saw Yang Yanzhao standing at the head of the city, staring at the Liao army outside the city with a solemn face. The deputy general Wang Gui and the generals of the Yang Mansion all gathered around Lao Yang.

Yang Yanzhao saw Yang Gui, nodded slightly, and motioned for Yang Wu to join the ranks. As the Liao army outside the city gradually approached, Yang Yanzhao spoke, his voice became low and hoarse, "Brothers, the Liao army has launched a general attack. This time, we may all be buried in Yanmen Pass. Wang Gui looked resolute and said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, I can die with you, brothers don't regret it." The generals nodded heavily.

Yang Yanzhao turned his head to look at Yang Gui, and a smile on his face was more ugly than bitterness, "Son, do you regret it?" Yang Gui was silent and shook his head. Hehe~" Yang Yanzhao chuckled, straightened his waist, and said loudly: "I don't regret it either." I, Yang Yanzhao, have been fighting horses all my life, and I have experienced hundreds of battlefields large and small. Preparations have long been made for the Horse Leather Shroud. This Yanmen Pass is the gateway to the Central Plains. Guarding Yanmen Pass is equivalent to guarding the Central Plains and guarding the people.

In order to save the people from the flames of war, we will die without regret as soldiers. Yang Yanzhao said slowly, as if chattering: "100,000 Liao troops, attack Yanmen Pass." If we hold on, we will be the heroes of the country and the nation. If we can't hold on, even if we die, we will be worthy of our ancestors when we go underground. ”

Yang Yanzhao took a deep breath and shouted: "Liao people, Liao people, 100,000 Liao people." Even if we die, we will bury these 100,000 Liao people outside this Yanmen Pass. "Huh~" All the people around Yang Yanzhao knelt on one knee and shouted, "I'll take the order." Yang Yanzhao's face was grim, and he said: "Order, the people go to the city collectively, give them weapons, and order them to defend the city together." ”

"Order, in Yanmen Pass, all the Song people, all guard Yanmen Pass, and those who dare to retreat will be killed." "Order, inside the Yanmen Pass, the upper and lower soldiers, all the soldiers will defend the Yanmen Pass, and those who dare to speak up will be killed." "Order, in Yanmen Pass, everyone, whoever sees me Yang Yanzhao escaping from the battle, can be killed." The three beheadings represent Yang Yanzhao's determination to defend Yanmen Pass.

In the Yanmen Pass, the soldiers up and down all obeyed. Yang Yanzhao finished the military order and asked everyone else to go down to assist in the defense, but Yang Gui was the only one left. Lao Yang stared at Yang Gui and said with a complicated expression: "Erlang ......" Yang Gui said solemnly: "Dad, you don't have to say it, the children understand." The boy went to prepare the manpower, and then rushed out to fight. Yang Yanzhao nodded with satisfaction, patted Yang Wu's shoulder, and said, "Maybe ...... death" Yang Gui said: "The child is not afraid." ”

Yang Yanzhao said guiltily: "It's all my fault as a father." If you didn't have a father like me, you wouldn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, let alone die on the battlefield. "Daddy......" Yang Yanzhao raised his hand and motioned for Yang Wu to let him continue. Yang Yanzhao sighed: "When you are reincarnated in the next life, you should see it, don't vote in Jiangmen." Yang Gui looked resolute, "The child has no regrets." In the next life, the child will still be your son. Yang Yanzhao couldn't hold back any longer, and the old tears were rampant.

"You stupid boy...... Yang Gui's eyes gradually moistened, in order to prevent Yang Yanzhao from seeing himself crying, Yang Gui decisively went down the city wall to prepare for the second charge. Both father and son know in their hearts that this is the eternal secret.

The thing of inviting you into the urn can only be done once, and it will not work if you do it twice. As long as Yang Gui appears outside Yanmen Pass again, then there are only two ends. Or, be killed by the enemy. Either kill the enemy. Obviously, in front of ten times the number of enemy troops, Yang Gui can basically be regarded as dead and lifeless. When Lao Yang returned to the north gate tower again, the Liao army also approached the Yanmen Pass. Xiao Tianzuo straddled a black horse, staring at Yang Yanzhao, who was at the head of the city, and shouted, "Yang Yanzhao, are you willing to surrender?" ”

Yang Yanzhao was condescending and snorted coldly: "I, Yang Yanzhao, am a Song person in life and a Song ghost in death." Xiao Tianzuo grinned and said, "So, there is only one battle?" Yang Yanzhao's answer was just one word. War! ”

Xiao Tianzuo stepped back and replaced his wife, and his brother Ye Yan also stepped forward first. Ye Yan, who had a big shoulder and a round waist, also held two copper hammers, his eyes were wide with angry eyes, staring at the Song army at the head of the city, and shouted loudly. "Kill it." The Liao army hulala all pounced on Yanmen Pass. Although the boarding car has been destroyed, the body that died under the Yanmen Gate has not been disposed of. With the help of corpses, the Liao soldiers quickly climbed up to the top of the city.

Yang Yanzhao led the soldiers of the Volcano Army to defend it to the death. Rolling wood, stone, gold juice, bricks, and more. Everything that could be used to kill the enemy was thrown down the city by the Volcano Army's soldiers. The soldiers of the Volcano Army were like harvesting wheat, cutting it and growing it again.

There are too many Liao troops. Advance. Ye Yan, who had a big shoulder and a round waist, also held two copper hammers, his eyes were wide with angry eyes, staring at the Song army at the head of the city, and shouted loudly.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
