Chapter 645, the raid is successful,
Mordo said: "Your Majesty must not understand the situation, and then heard some rumors!" I should immediately leave a letter to explain the situation to Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty may be relieved!" The general nodded. Mordo looked at the letter and said with a smile: "Don't say that Yan Yunjun has no intention of attacking, even if there is, it will never be able to hide it from my ears and eyes!" Your Majesty's worries are really a bit superfluous! Then he frowned and said, "100,000 reinforcements are already on the way, so many soldiers and horses are coming, isn't it a waste of grain and grass?" "I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: Your Majesty is wise and martial, if it is a general rumor, it will not be so popular, maybe Your Majesty has really discovered something? But I've arranged it so thoroughly, there's no way for Yan Yun to take advantage of it? And I didn't find any changes in Yan Yun?
Mordo said secretly: 'Since Your Majesty has ordered me to be careful, I should do something about it, otherwise it will not make Your Majesty think that I have neglected his orders?' As soon as he thought of this, he said to his generals: "Gather all the generals to the study at once." The general answered the promise and ran down.
Mordo walked towards the study, walked into the study, spread out the paper, picked up the quill and began to write. Soon after, a reply was written. At this time, there was a noise of footsteps at the door, and several generals walked into the study and bowed: "General." ”
Mordo folded the letter, put it in an envelope, wrote on the envelope, 'Submit the last general Mordo', and then handed the letter to a soldier beside him, and ordered: "Send someone to your majesty at once." The soldier took the letter with both hands and ran down.
Mordo glanced at the generals and said with a smile: "Your Majesty just sent someone to send a letter, asking us to be careful about the possible sneak attack of the Yan Yun Army!" ”
The generals glanced at each other, they all laughed, and one of the generals said: "Your Majesty is too careful, how can Yan Yunjun take any action!" Another general said strangely: "Even if Yan Yunjun has any actions, we should know about it first, why did His Majesty know it first?" ”
Mordo said: "Your Majesty must have heard something, so he sent someone to send a letter, and also sent 100,000 reinforcements!" "When the generals heard that His Majesty had sent 100,000 reinforcements, they were all surprised. A subordinate general frowned and said, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, if you hear ordinary rumors, you will definitely not make such a big move!" ”
Mordo nodded and said, "That's why I called you here to make you all vigilant!" Whether the news received by His Majesty is true or not, since His Majesty has given the order, we must do it! The generals agreed in unison. Mordo commanded: "From this night onwards, all the vigilance forces must be doubled, and the heralds will be sent to send orders to the watchtowers everywhere, so that they will also keep their eyes open!" The generals agreed in unison.
Soon after, the gate of the Jade Gate was opened, and more than a dozen heralds rushed out of the pass, speeding away towards the dozens of watchtowers standing in the east in the night.
A herald ran straight for a watchtower, and soon after was outside the fence around the watchtower. This kind of watchtower built by Western Liao is very different from the traditional style of the East, but it is very similar to the appearance of the West. The whole watchtower is divided into two parts, the main part is the watchtower itself, rising from the ground, built of logs, about the height of four or five city towers, people standing on it, in the case of good weather, it is easy to see the scene more than ten miles away; The other part is the defense of the watchtower, the outermost is a fence made of logs, which is enclosed in a circle between the watchtower and the soldiers' barracks, behind the fence, a deep pit is dug, and the pit is full of horse-repelling spikes, the fence and the horse-repelling spikes can block the enemy, and the soldiers stationed on the watchtower can stand on the watchtower to attack the attacking enemy troops. Of course, although such a defensive facility can deal with the sneak attack of a small army, it cannot resist the attack of the opponent's large army in any case, but it is not necessary to resist the attack of the enemy's large army, and it is enough to win the time to sound the alarm.
The heralds rode to the gate of the watchtower, the opening of the fence. I saw that the door that should have been closed was not locked. The herald frowned and muttered, "These people are too negligent, they don't even lock the door!" With that in mind, he pushed open the gate and rode in.
I saw a pair of bonfires burning under the watchtower, but there was not half a figure in sight.
The herald shouted, "Is there anyone?" I have been commanded to come and give orders! The voice dissipated, but there was no response. The herald was surprised and looked up to the top of the watchtower, where a torch was burning, but no one was in sight. The herald turned over and dismounted, tied his horse to a stake, and walked towards the barracks. As you pass by the campfire, lean down and pick up a burning stick. The herald walked into the barracks with torches.
Just as he was about to make a call, he suddenly saw several bloody corpses stacked in the corner of the barracks. The herald felt only a blow in his head, and exclaimed, "Ah! The torch in his hand almost fell to the ground, and the dancing flame of the torch reflected his terrified expression. The herald reluctantly withdrew from the barracks. reacted, felt that the situation was wrong, and quickly turned around and ran outside. However, after only a few steps, he saw a dark shadow suddenly appear at the gate. The herald was startled, stopped, subconsciously pulled out his scimitar, and shouted: "Who are you?" ”
The black shadow at the door did not speak, and the herald felt that he had encountered an evil ghost, and cold sweat overflowed on his forehead. At this moment, there was a sudden noise behind him, and the herald was startled. Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly felt his mouth and nose being tightly covered from behind, and at the same time, his vest and chest were cold almost at the same time, and a sharp pain that he had never felt before came, and at this moment, his soul seemed to be flying away from his body! The herald was terrified, and when he looked down, he saw a long knife dripping with blood peeking through his chest. The herald spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the steel knife jerked back, and the herald snorted and fell to the ground, without any movement.
Several black-clothed masked people gathered together, and one of the black-clothed men said: "It's all settled, immediately go to the east fence and hang lanterns." A man in black said yes and ran down.
Mordo finished arranging things and went back to the back. Seeing that the two beauties were awake, I couldn't help but move my index fingers, and walked forward with a strange smile, and the two beauties responded with a charming smile. Mordo plunged into the tabernacle and got up in a hurry.
Bang! …… There was a loud bang that shook the earth, and the whole house, the whole earth, trembled violently.
Mordo and the two women were in the midst of excitement when they suddenly heard this loud noise, and felt the house shake, and the earth trembled, and they couldn't help but be startled. The two women were discolored, and Mordo couldn't help but cry out, "What's going on? ”
He quickly got out of the tabernacle and put on his clothes and trousers.
Gradually, the earth stopped shaking, but a huge killing sound came like a landslide and a tsunami. Sensing that something was wrong, Mordo hurried out of the bedroom and bumped into one of the generals who was hurrying in his arms. Mordo shouted angrily, "What's the matter? The general said with a panicked face: "Oh no! Yan Yunjun, Yan Yunjun has come in! Mordo's first reaction was: "This can't be!" At this moment, a loud fighting sound was coming from the north through the door, getting louder and louder. Mordo's complexion became extremely ugly. At this time, his two beauties were already dressed and trousers, and stood against the door, looking panicked.
When Mordo heard this voice, he knew that the enemy army had indeed come in, so he immediately didn't care about investigating the reason, and hurriedly shouted to his general: "You go and organize all the armies to launch a counterattack!" The general answered the promise and ran down. Mordo then shouted to one of the pro-soldier officers who had just arrived: "Assemble the guards at once!" The officer answered and ran down.
Not long after, Mordo led hundreds of his own soldiers to rush in the direction where the killing was most intense, only to see that a city wall in the west had collapsed as a whole, and the wolf-like Yan Yun army poured in like a wave! Your own troops are retreating under the powerful onslaught of the other side, and the situation is extremely critical!
When Mordo saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked. When I came back to my senses, I hoped that all my troops had arrived, but I didn't see them, so where could I gather them in a while! Seeing that his troops were about to be unable to resist, Mordo had no choice but to lead the guards into the battlefield and fight a bloody battle with the Yanyun army. When the soldiers of the Liao army saw that the main general led the army to come, they couldn't help but boost their morale, and they fought back desperately, and they were able to resist the onslaught of the Yanyun army! At this moment, a general led a group of soldiers and horses to the battlefield and cooperated with the defending troops to launch a counterattack.
Suddenly, Yan Yunjun retreated like a tide. When the soldiers of the Liao army saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned, and they didn't react for a while. An officer reacted first, excitedly raised his scimitar and shouted, and the soldiers of the Liao army also raised their scimitars and shouted excitedly, they thought that they had repelled the Yanyun army!
At that moment, a loud rumbling bang was heard. The soldiers of the Liao army couldn't help but be stunned, and they all stopped shouting and looked outside. Suddenly, I saw hundreds of Yan Yun hussars rushing over the collapsed wreckage of the city wall and rushing towards them! The officers and men of the Liao army were taken aback and immediately prepared to meet the battle, and the generals and officers shouted one after another. Nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Liao army lined up in a tight battle formation, everyone held their weapons tightly, their eyes widened, and the blood in their chests boiled!
Hundreds of Yanyun war cavalry slammed into the Liao army line, and the leading Yanyun warrior waved a pair of iron hammers, smashing the flesh and blood of the Liao army soldiers, and all the Yanyun war horses were indomitable and murderous, and suddenly tore through the impregnable defense line of the Liao army and crashed into the middle of the Liao army! Hundreds of war horses rushed forward, rushing madly to kill, like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable!
The Liao army tried their best to resist, but where could they resist, and they were killed until their corpses were bloody. Mordo was anxious and kept roaring, and the soldiers of the Liao army tried desperately to organize Yanyun to ride in battle, which was simply a fight between a tiger and a pack of wolves.
These hundreds of Yanyun war cavalry are extremely strong and invincible, but the Liao army has an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and gradually stopped the assault of Yanyun war cavalry, Mordo, who was originally full of nervousness, couldn't help but show a happy look, and shouted at the top of his throat: "That's it!" Counterattack! Counterattack! Beat Yan Yunjun out of me! "The morale of the Liao army has been greatly boosted, and the strength of the counterattack is getting stronger and stronger, seeing that the Liao army is about to completely block the assault of Yanyun's war cavalry!
At this moment, the soldiers of the Liao Army suddenly saw that on the ruins of the collapsed city wall, a wave suddenly flooded over, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then they were shocked to find that it was the infantry brigade of the Yan Yun Army! Mordo's face turned pale and exclaimed, "Not good! ”
Tens of thousands of Yanyun infantry troops overflowed the ruins of the city wall, surging up, and slammed into the Liao army. At this time, the Liao army was trying its best to deal with the assault of Yanyun's cavalry, where could it still deal with such a ferocious assault, and it was bumped in by Yanyun's infantry in an instant. The infantry of the Yanyun army roared like a tiger, swept away like a fierce wave, indomitable, and rushed to kill bravely, the Liao army could not resist, panicked, and was killed by the Yanyun infantry army and retreated again and again. At this moment, the hundreds of Yanyun war horses led by Yang Gui continued to advance bravely, and in the midst of the blood and flesh flying, these hundreds of fierce Yanyun war horses penetrated the Liao army in one go.
The Liao army couldn't resist anymore, collapsed, threw away its armor, and the wolf rushed to the pig, completely losing the momentum of the bloody battle with the Yanyun army just now. Mordo shouted desperately at the top of his throat, trying to stabilize the situation, but his morale had collapsed, and no one paid attention to his shouts, and Mordo was carried by the rout and fled backwards!
At the same time, there were also huge sounds of fighting in the east and south, and it turned out that Yang Qi and Fan Long led a force to break through the city defense from the east and south respectively and rushed into the city, and there was a fierce battle with the enemy's guards.
Mordo led the defeated generals to retreat to the vicinity of the camp, and joined up with the troops led by one of the generals, and when he led the army to launch a counterattack against the rushing Yanyun army. Mordo raised his scimitar and roared: "Warriors of Da Liao, you are the bravest warriors in the world, how can you watch the enemy run rampant!" Follow me and slice open the chest of your enemies with your scimitars! The gods of heaven and earth will be witnesses of your heroism! Nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Liao Army only felt their blood boiling and roared together. Mordo swung his scimitar forward, "Kill! Nearly 20,000 Liao troops shouted violently and rushed forward against the tide of the enemy. Looking down from the sky, I saw two huge waves rushing into the narrow street, rushing towards each other, and it seemed that they were about to collide! As you can imagine, this collision must have been quite amazing!
Yang Gui led hundreds of elites under his command to rush into the battle first, slamming into the wave of enemy troops, causing huge ripples when they landed! These hundreds of people are like hundreds of fierce tigers, frantically waving their minions, killing the corpses of the Liao army soldiers and flying blood, and in an instant, the Liao soldiers were killed by their ferocious rush and were terrified! At this moment, Yan Yun's large army rushed up, killing one step at a time, and the flesh and blood flew on the scene, and the soldiers of the Liao army only felt panicked, and they turned around and fled for their lives! Yan Yunjun continued to work harder, and the soldiers of the Liao army were swept back, running away in embarrassment, and they were already unable to form an army! Shocked and frightened, Mordo came back to his senses and quickly turned his horse's head and fled for his life! The Liao army was defeated like a mountain, and the rank of Yanyun chased and killed, and the corpses were blocked in the streets and alleys, and the blood was all over the ditches! At the same time, in the other two directions, the Yanyun army led by Fan Long and Yang Dezheng also defeated the Liao army in front of them and was chasing the north!
The Liao army fled from Yumen Pass in a hurry, Yang Gui led the elite under his command to chase and kill, slashing and killing all the way, and the figures in the dark night were longing, and the terrible screams came and went.
Yang Gui chased and killed for more than ten miles, and suddenly saw a shadow in front of him, as if countless people were coming. Yang Gui frowned, he didn't care about that much, anyway, there was no doubt that the enemy would come from that direction, so he immediately urged the war horse and led hundreds of hussars under his command to rush up!
At this time, Niaz, the fierce general of Western Liao, was leading 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard of the brigade to advance towards Yumen Pass. In the darkness of the night, he suddenly heard the commotion in front of him, and he couldn't help but be very surprised, and then saw his own soldiers fleeing in panic. Suspicious, Niaz quickly stopped an officer who had escaped and asked, "What part of you are and what happened?" The officer was frightened and said urgently: "Quick, run away!" Yan Yunjun, Yan Yunjun is chasing after you! Then he left Niaz alone and fled for his life.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in front of them, and at the same time, there was an exclamation in Central Asian: "Yan Yunjun is here!" Yan Yunjun is here! The Xiliao soldiers in front of them jumped around as if they had blown up a pot, and at the same time saw a team of war horses rushing towards them. Although the horsemen were small in number, they were impressive, and they seemed to come in boundless darkness, giving people a feeling of great fear, as if they had rushed out of hell!
Niaz was shocked, and subconsciously shouted, "Retreat!" Evacuate! The 10,000 soldiers under his command were already flustered and suspicious, but when they heard him shout, they immediately became chaotic and turned around and fled for their lives, and the scene was chaotic.
Yang Gui led hundreds of hussars to rush into the middle of the enemy army, killing countless enemy soldiers in a burst of indiscriminate killing. After chasing for more than ten miles, he reined in the war horse and returned to Yumen Pass.
Mills, the general of Hamili, was leading his army towards Yumen Pass, when he suddenly saw many defeated soldiers fleeing down. stopped the defeated soldiers and asked, only to know that Yumen Pass had been broken by the Yanyun Army not long ago, and the life and death of General Mordo were unknown! Horrified, Mills quickly ordered the army to stop and sent scouts to Yumen Pass to inquire about the situation.
Not long after, seeing Niaz's forward troops fleeing in a chaotic manner, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said secretly: Could it be that Yanyun's army continued to advance westward after breaking through the Yumen Pass?
Niaz rushed to Mills and reported urgently: "General, the Yumen Pass has been lost, and our army has encountered a surprise attack by a large enemy army more than ten miles away from the Yumen Pass. ”
Mills frowned and asked, "How did the Jade Gate Pass fall?" ”
Niaz said: "According to the defeated soldiers of Yumen Pass, Yanyun's army suddenly appeared under the city, first blew up the city wall with a large amount of gunpowder, and then the army entered!" They were caught off guard and couldn't resist it, and they were captured by Yan Yunjun's Yumen Pass! ”
Mills frowned, "Didn't Mordo send out a large number of fine works and build a large number of watchtowers to the east?" How did the enemy approach the city and not realize it? Niaz shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. ”
Mills thought about it, then sent people to collect the rout, and then ordered the army to line up on the spot and prepare for battle. The main force of the Liao army lined up with their backs against the hillside, waiting for the Yanyun army to attack, and everyone looked a little nervous. The main force of the Liao army waited in formation, but at noon, there was no trace of Yan Yunjun. Just when the soldiers of the Liao army were suspicious, the scout came to report that all of Yanyun's troops had returned to Yumen Pass. When Mills heard the news, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately led a large army to retreat, and at the same time sent someone to report the battle situation on this side to His Majesty the Emperor of Hamili, Yelu Dashi.
Yelu Longqing paced back and forth in the camp hall, and his heart was very anxious. After he determined that Yan Yun would attack Yumen Pass, he formulated a plan to annihilate Yan Yun's army, so as to force Yang Peng to accept the fact that Western Liao occupied Yumen Pass, and at the same time severely dampen Yan Yun's desire to fight with Western Liao. The content of this plan has two aspects, one is to use the defenders of Yumen Pass to resist the attack of Yanyun's army, and at the same time, the 100,000 army led by Mills bypassed Yumen Pass from the side road and raided the flank of Yanyun's main force. At this time, Yan Yun would definitely not have thought that he had already prepared, so he would never have thought that his flank and rear direction would be raided, and once he was attacked by a large army, he would inevitably fall into chaos. At this time, the army on the Yumen Pass took the opportunity to kill and attack the Mills army back and forth, no matter how strong the Yanyun army was, it would definitely not be able to resist, and it would inevitably be wiped out.
The plan is right, but Yelu Longqing is not completely sure that he can succeed, after all, he fought with Yan Yunjun in the previous battle, and he did not take any advantage, but suffered a lot of losses.
Hurried footsteps were heard at the door. Yelu Longqing immediately stopped and looked out the door, only to see a herald rushing in. Yelu Longqing's heart moved, although he was very anxious, but his expression did not move.
The herald rushed to Yelu Longqing and bowed: "Your Majesty, your subordinates have come to summon the news by General Mills's order, and the Yumen Pass has fallen!" ”
Yelu Longqing and several generals present only felt thunder! Yelu Longqing couldn't accept this result, although he had thought about the worst result, but he never imagined that the Yumen Pass would be lost, he thought that the worst case was just that the attempt to completely annihilate the opponent's main force could not be achieved! Yelu Longqing came back to his senses and asked angrily, "How can this be?" How did Yan Yunjun break through the Yumen Pass? ”
The herald said: "The army of Yanyun suddenly appeared under the Yumen Pass, first blasted the city wall with a large amount of gunpowder, and then the army entered!" Our army was caught off guard and defeated! ”
Yelu Longqing frowned, and said angrily: "What is Mordo doing to eat? The enemies were all under his nose, and he didn't even notice it! Glancing at the herald, he asked angrily, "Didn't I send someone to tell him to be careful?" Does he dare to disobey the order? ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
