Chapter 202: Reinforcements Arrive
All of a sudden, the morale and military spirit that had just accumulated collapsed again, and the soldiers defending the city had no confidence to resist, even if Chai Rong led people to fight desperately, but the enemy was outnumbered, seeing that Ye was about to fall but helpless, Chai Rong couldn't help but let out a sigh, and had already made up his mind to live and die with Ye, like a lion who was not afraid of death rampage among the Liao army.

Seeing that many people attacked the city wall, the situation took a sharp turn, and suddenly a deafening sound of shouting and killing resounded through the battlefield, through the fighting crowd and the chaotic battlefield, Chai Rong looked behind him, only to see a big flag with the word "Guo" raised high in the front, the whole team was like a long dragon bending and turning quickly towards his side, Chai Rong was overjoyed, knowing that it was Guo Wei and Zhao Kuangyin who led the troops to come, so he raised the war knife in his hand in the crowd and shouted loudly: " Brothers, Guo Shuai's reinforcements have arrived, and we will kill him with him now", said that he drove the war horse and ran out first, and the war knife arrived, and the wails were all over the field, and the remaining hundreds of horsemen followed behind to fight a bloody road to meet Guo Wei.
The defenders of the city saw that Guo Wei's army arrived, Chai Rong was so brave, the Liao soldiers and the Han people under the city began to panic, so the defenders took the soldiers and civilians in the city to open the city gate and rushed out, and suddenly the sound of killing outside the city shook the sky, the Liao soldiers and the vanguard Han army were frightened by the formation in front of them, and the main force of the Liao army did not attack the city, but was stationed outside the city to rest, less than an hour of kung fu The Liao army began to retreat, Guo Wei and Zhao Kuangyin led the army to make peace with Chai Rong, and the Yedu defenders opened the road in front, and everyone entered the city together.
Jing Xining saw that Chai Rong's armor was splashed with blood, and couldn't help but be very worried, "Brother Rong, how are you?"
Chai Rong wiped his face with his hand, "Big brother don't worry, I just suffered a little skin injury, and it won't get in the way, fortunately you and Guo Shuai came in time, otherwise I and the defenders of Yedu may be really fierce." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "The second brother is blessed with a great life, the world is still divided, how can the second brother bear to leave the world alone to enjoy the blessings, do you say?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.
Guo Wei and everyone entered the city of Yedu, and couldn't help but feel a little sad when they saw the dilapidated scene of the city, Guo Wei took the lead in climbing the city tower, looking at the dense and dissatisfied tents of the Liao army not far outside the city and a group of tired Han troops behind him, he was very worried, and he didn't have time to let everyone rest, and immediately began to give orders.
Guo Wei asked the guards of Yedu, "How many men and horses are left in your department now?"
The guard nodded and replied, "Plus all the old, weak, sick and disabled as long as they can move, there are less than three thousand left." ”
Guo Wei said: "The Liao army is menacing, it was not their main force that attacked the city just now, I think it won't be long before they start attacking the city again, you lead all the horses in your department, I will allocate another 1,000 to you, quickly repair the damaged city wall, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
The guard general glanced up at Guo Wei, "With Guo Shuai guarding Ye in this town, he will definitely be able to defend it, and his subordinates will take people to repair the city wall." ”
After the guard left, Zhao Kuangyin came to Guo Wei's side, "What are Guo Shuai's plans?"
Guo Wei said: "It's better to defend than to attack, if so many of us are all curled up in the city, the result can only be passively beaten, we should find a way to find fighters." ”
Chai Rong said: "There is something unclear in the last general, when Li Shouzhen was pacified, didn't Guo Shuai use it to defend? Moreover, the Liao army came from afar, and what they pursued was a quick life, not a long-term stalemate, as long as we held Yedu, the protracted Liao army would inevitably retreat." ”
Guo Wei said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, remember to stick to the rules, the Liao army would not think that we would defend Yedu instead of taking the initiative, this is our fighter, as long as it is properly arranged, it will definitely be able to reap miraculous results, and I have long wanted to teach the Liao soldiers a lesson." ”
Jing Xining said: "Guo Shuai, do you feel strange at one point, why is it a group of Han soldiers and a small number of Liao soldiers who are attacking the city today, but the main force of the Liao soldiers is hidden behind them and they have not attacked at all. ”
Guo Wei said: "This shows that the enemy's goal is not just to take Yedu, when we came, we have found that the Liao army is neat and magnificent, and the number of people dispatched this time will definitely not be small, Xining, what do you think they are fighting?"
Jing Xining said: "The Liao army is surrounded and not attacked, it seems to be tight and loose, as if they are waiting for something, I wonder if they are waiting for Guo Shuai?"
Guo Wei was a little puzzled, "How do you say this?"
Jing Xining said: "I guess they want to seek a decisive battle with Guo Shuai, Guo Shuai has the main force of the Han in his hands, if they can destroy Guo Shuai's army, then who else can resist the Liao soldiers?"
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized, "Big brother is right, I think their attack on Ye is fake, they just want to attract Guo Shuai to come to the rescue of Yedu and then have a decisive battle with the main force of our army, and then destroy it in one fell swoop and then march into the Central Plains."
Guo Wei sneered, "Their abacus is quite good, but it is difficult to say whether the development of things will follow them", Guo Wei said as if he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked behind him, "Have you found out who is the person who commanded the troops this time?"
For a while, everyone looked at each other, no one could say, and they fought for two days in a row, but the commander of the Liao army did not see anyone, and it seemed that he had never appeared from beginning to end.
Guo Wei couldn't help but be annoyed: "How can this work, we don't even know who our opponent is how to fight others?"
Jing Xining said: "Guo Shuai, I'll go to the Liao army tonight to investigate." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I will go with my second brother." ”
Chai Rong said: "Kuang Yin is right, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, big brother, let's go with you." ”
Jing Xining said: "No need, it's inconvenient to move if there are too many people, we just go to find out the situation and not fight with them, I'll be with Yueyu, don't you still believe in my martial arts? ”
Guo Shuai nodded and said, "Okay, I see that the sky is already dark today, so I'll bother Xining to go for us." ”
Jing Xining said: "Guo Shuai is polite. ”
On this day and night, Jing Xining and Mingyue quietly came to the Liao army camp.
The two of them quietly sneaked inside with light skills, searched everywhere, and found no important figures, and the Liao soldiers patrolled very closely, so they didn't dare to get too close to the camp tent, so they had to quietly observe on the side.
Suddenly, passing by a camp tent, a familiar voice came from inside, Jing Xining and Mingyue Yu stopped one after another, Mingyue Yu was letting off the wind on the side, Jing Xining put his ear on the canvas through the tent and listened carefully while watching.
Jing Xining vaguely saw Shu Jian's figure, there was a burly Liao man inside, and after listening carefully, Shu Jian called that person a privy envoy, but it was too far away to hear what he said, but he didn't dare to get too close so as not to be discovered.
At this time, two teams of Liao people patrolled from the left and right sides respectively, and hurriedly informed Jing Xining, Jing Xining found that the layout in the Liao army was too tight, and he was worried that he would be discovered if he stayed too long, so he left quickly with Mingyue Yu and returned to the capital of Ye.
At this time, Guo Wei, Chai Rong, and Zhao Kuangyin were waiting for news from the two, and no one left, knowing that Jing Xining and Mingyue had returned safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Guo Wei said: "How about Xining, it wasn't discovered by them, right?"
Jing Xining shook his head, "The Liao army camp is heavily guarded, and it is easy to be discovered, so I and Yue Yu didn't dare to stay for a long time, so we had to come back first."
Chai Rong said: "Did the eldest brother and Miss Ming inquire about anything?"
Jing Xining said: "I found the shadow of Shu Jian and a few people, and I heard that he seemed to call one of the Liao people the privy envoy, and I don't know who he is." ”
Zhao Kuangyin became angry when he heard Shu Jian, "It's him again, he is actually colluding with the Liao people, it's just unreasonable, look at how I teach him a lesson this time, if I get caught, I must not spare him." ”
Chai Rong said: "It seems that the Han people who attacked the city today should have been brought by Shu Jian, but I didn't expect him to be the lackey of the Liao people, did he forget that Shi Jin, who he and Shu Xin were once loyal to, was destroyed by the Liao State, and now Shi Chonggui is still in the hands of the Liao people, and his life and death are unknown." ”
Guo Wei thought carefully on the side, "Shu Jian called him the Privy Envoy, it seems that Yelu Anbo should be the one who commanded the troops this time, and Yelu Ruan probably didn't come." ”
Jing Xining said: "Who is Yelu Ambo?"
Guo Wei said: "This Yelu Anbo is the son of Yelu Dieri, when Yelu Dieri supported Yelu Ruan's father Yelu Bei to the throne, and was executed by the Empress Dowager Shulu, now Yelu Anbo supports Yelu Ruan to the throne, deeply trusted and respected by Yelu Ruan, Yelu Ruan succeeded to the throne and set up a Privy Council in accordance with the official system of my Central Plains, Yelu Ruan was appointed as the North Privy Council Envoy, in charge of military and political power, and now the power is flourishing, and this person is brave and strategic, I heard that some powerful. ”
Jing Xining couldn't help but sigh after listening to Guo Wei's words: "Guo Shuai's insight is really admirable, and he actually knows the situation in Liao so clearly. ”
Guo Wei said: "Over the years, the Liao people have frequently invaded the Central Plains, and the people of my Central Plains have suffered greatly, and the first emperor also advocated fighting against Liao, but unfortunately it went too early, my Central Plains Dynasty and the Liao State must have a war, only knowing oneself and knowing the other can defeat the enemy, so I must carefully understand the opponent on weekdays." ”
Jing Xining said: "Now that Guo Shuai is guarding the important town in the north, I think it will be difficult for the Liao people to take a step beyond Lei Chi in the future, which is really a blessing for the people of the Central Plains." ”
Guo Wei said: "It's a pity that since the Huangchao Rebellion, my Central Plains Domain has been busy fighting for territory, so it gave the Khitans an opportunity to take advantage of, and they also took the opportunity to develop at this time, and now they have become the biggest threat to my Central Plains Dynasty." ”
