Chapter 57: The Battle at the Head of the City
Yanmen Pass is the last barrier of Bianjing, once the Yanmen Gate is broken, it will be all the way flat from Yanmen Pass to Bianjing, and there is no danger to defend.
Wu Zhi led an army of 100,000 people, without the slightest hesitation, and after entering Yanmen Pass, he couldn't shrink out directly.
This did not go out of the city gate, leaving the 200,000 cavalry of the Liao army helpless.
"Wu Junshi, I just got the battle report, and this time it is the general Wu Zhi of the Great Song Dynasty who commands the troops and horses. After he came to Yanmen, he didn't go out of the city directly, and our army's strength was far superior to that of the opponent, so it was better to attack directly. ”
Yelu Liufeng was also helpless to hold on to Wuzhi.
The high walls of Yanmen Pass were thick, and the Liao army was not good at attacking fortifications, and after observing for a few days, Yelu Liufeng soon ran out of patience.
"The king can't, Wuzhi is the most capable general of the Great Song Dynasty, and our army is not good at attacking the city, once it is attacked, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties."
After hearing this, Wu Yong directly vetoed Yelu Liufeng's method of attacking.
"But Wuzhi doesn't go out of the city, what can we do if we don't attack?"
Yelu Liufeng shook his head and asked Wu Yong.
"The best way is to lure the Song army out of the city. It really doesn't work, and then use other strategies, and a strong attack is the last resort. ”
Wu Yong thought about it for a while and said.
Wu used his usual Yin damage tricks, and after seeing that Wu Zhi had been holding out, he sent a large number of soldiers to the city to scold.
From Zhao Ji to Wuzhi, they were all scolded by the Liao army.
However, Wu Zhi was unmoved.
On the contrary, the generals under his command were angry and vomited blood, and they all asked for battle.
"The Liao army is strong and strong, our army only has 100,000, and when we go out of the city to meet the battle, our army has no chance of winning. The high walls of Yanmen Pass are thick, as long as we hold on, the Liao army will have no way to take us. ”
Wu Zhi shook his head and directly rejected the generals' request to go out of the city to face the battle.
"The last general would rather die in battle, I don't want to hide in the city and steal my life!"
Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are both irritable people.
If they want to hide in the city and be scolded by the Liao army, no matter what, they can't bear it.
"As a general, you not only have the courage to charge, but also have the endurance beyond ordinary people. The reason why the Liao army shouted and scolded was just to provoke us to fight, and the more he scolded, the more we could not come out. ”
Wu Zhi's eyes stared at the two of them, and he said in a deep voice.
Wu Zhi has a very high prestige among everyone, and when he saw it, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen were immediately stunned.
"But brother, we can't be scolded by the Liao army every day without fighting back, right?"
After hearing this, Lu Zhishen complained to Wu Zhi.
"The Liao army scolded, didn't our people have a long mouth, just scold them." Wu Zhi said with a chuckle.
On the same day, I ordered people to look for people in Yanmen Pass who had a loud voice and were extremely good at scolding.
and directly set up another battalion, which was the Dragon Battalion.
When it comes to scolding, men are far less than women.
There are many old women in Yanmen Pass who have the ability to scold people, which is the only woman Wu Zhi has seen in his life, and he is the most powerful woman.
Wu Zhi gave the position of captain of the dragon and was specifically responsible for scolding.
"Yelu Liufeng, your ancestors are just savages on the grassland, the offspring of mother-child hybrids and beast hybrids, such lowly mongrels dare to attack the Central Plains, and there are others with faces, I have never seen such a brazen person!"
"And Wu Yong, you are originally a Han Chinese, a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, not only do you not want to serve the country, but you don't mention it when you become a water thief, and now you dare to take refuge in Liao. No wonder some people call you a head with a backbone, a buttocks and a tail, and you are destined to be a beast and a slave for life! ”
The old woman's ability to scold and fight is not blown.
I heard that scolding people not only has money to take, but also has an official position, so I work even harder now.
From morning to sunset, for a whole day, they didn't stop at all, and they didn't stop any foul language.
When Wu Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but admire their imagination.
"It's really annoying to me! After Ben Shuai breaks through the city, he must kill all these women! ”
Yelu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and directly sent people to attack Yanmen City.
After Wu Yong heard this, he didn't persuade again.
Because, he himself was scolded for being a bloody dog.
As the two most important people in the Liao army, Yelu Liufeng and Wu Yongnai are the focus of Wuzhi's attention.
Dozens of old women joined forces and defeated the Liao army of 200,000 in one fell swoop.
Yelu Liufeng took Yelu Chuqi as his general, ordered 50,000 troops, and began to attack the city with a large number of siege equipment.
"General, the Liao army has begun to attack the city!"
Seeing this, Tanma immediately came to report to Wu Zhi.
"Got it."
After Wu Zhi heard this, he laughed and didn't care.
Although the Song army only had 100,000, relying on the city wall, there was no need to fear the Liao army at all.
As soon as the Liao army changed its strategy to lure the enemy out of the city and sent a large army to attack, I am afraid that it was choked with anger and vented its emotions.
"Brothers, follow me to kill all the Liao army!"
The generals of the Song army have been scolded by the Liao army one by one in the past few days, and they have long been unable to bear it.
The Liao army attacked the city, just to vent its bad feelings.
"Die!"
The Liao army climbed up to the Yanmen Pass with the ladder, and Lu Zhishen went down with a Zen stick, and the Liao army suddenly screamed and fell down.
He also took the ladder down and killed several people in a row.
"The grandchildren of the Liao Kingdom, grandfather Lu Zhishen is here!"
After killing a few people in a row, Lu Zhishen stood at the head of the city and looked up to the sky and roared, so frightened that the Liao army did not dare to step forward at all.
The same scene happened in other places.
After holding back for many days, Wu Song and Yang Zhi, including the Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, and Dong Ping, who came over from Liangshantou, also shot almost at the same time at this time, leading the Song army to kill the Quartet, so frightened that the Liao army did not dare to step forward at all.
Even if Wu Zhi couldn't hold back, he also stepped forward and killed a few back and forth, defeating the Liao army.
This siege battle lasted only about an hour.
The Liao army was defeated, and the main general Yelu Chuqi fled with the army.
The first battle between Liao and Song at Yanmen ended in the victory of the Song army.
On that day, the Liao army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but the Song army suffered only 1,000 casualties.
After the news was transmitted back to Bianjing, Zhao Ji was overjoyed.
The original nervous and anxious emotions were also appeased.
"Congratulations to the official family, with the general here, the Liao army will inevitably stop at Yanmen!"
As soon as this reassuring pill came out, hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China said hello to Zhao Ji one after another.
Either way, it's a big win.
If there are still people who are unhappy, then I am afraid it must be Tong Guan.
Since the defeat, although Zhao Ji let him live, he has almost become a transparent person, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have kept their distance from him.
"Wuzhi ......"
Now that Wu Zhi is guarding Yanmen Pass, he undoubtedly slapped Tong Guan in the face, making him clench his fists and grit his teeth.
That night, Wuzhi feasted the generals.
On the contrary, in the camp of the Liao army, Yelu Liufeng was furious and scolded Yelu Chuqi non-stop.
"Bastard, Ben Shuai gave you an army of 50,000, and in less than an hour, you lost tens of thousands! Even if it is the last pig leading the troops, it is ten times more powerful than you! Come on, pull me down, military law is engaged! ”
"Marshal, spare your life!"
After hearing this, Yelu Chuqi's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
