Chapter 287 Bloody War
The autumn wind is bleak, and the big rips dance with the wind.
Brother Yelu Xiu's face was gloomy. Looking at the attack just now, he was defeated in the blink of an eye. ** On the bald head outside, blue veins appeared, which was obviously angry in his heart.
The defeat of the Song army is a forerunner, but this small Yunzhou City is still fighting with trapped beasts. Obviously, it is deliberately delaying its march.
Yelu Xiuge, who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, understands that there must be something more important in the south of Yunzhou, and Yelu Xiuge, who has been a hunter all his life, likes to hide in the last prey.
None of this will escape the palm of his hand.
"Qiu Yaner, Hu Qianer, you two continue to attack the city with your troops!"
Two unsmiling men stood up when they heard the sound. Just as they were about to take orders, another sentence came to their ears, "After the city, you can reward the subordinates at will!"
Hearing this sentence, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the rest of the generals looked yearning. This random reward was to hand over the whole Yunzhou City to them and let them rob.
Perhaps it was because of the spread of the news. After a while, nearly ten thousand subordinates led by Qiu Yaner and Hu Qianer cheered and looked at Yunzhou City not far away, their eyes were full of fanaticism and uncontrollable greed.
Just as they shouted slogans and swarmed to Yunzhou City, an earthy but very familiar figure appeared on the top of the city.
"Get out of here!"
The voice is pure Khitan. Even if there is a knife around his neck at this moment, the tone-changing voice still has an annoying high color.
However, due to the identity of the person in front of him, the leader Qiu Yaner and Hu Qianer looked at each other and had to stop. Just as they were about to withdraw, they suddenly heard the rapid sound of horses' hoofs behind them.
"Wo!"
This is the sound of arrows breaking through the air. Even if Qiu Yan'er and Hu Qian'er closed their eyes, they could hear it. When they turned around, they saw Yelu Xiu standing behind him, putting his hand on the bow, and the six arrows that were often placed in the quiver on the horse's back were missing.
"Give me back..."
At the head of the city, the roaring sound stopped abruptly. Looking back, he saw an arrow in the particularly annoying Xiao Duoli's chest.
The king actually killed Xiao Dili!
Not only the Khitan people were shocked, but Yang Yanzhao was also surprised by this sudden move. But after a while, he realized that the other party could kill Xiao Dali directly regardless of Xiao's prestige. It seemed that his status in Liao was not low, at least not lower than Xiao Dulie.
Then kill him!
There was a murderous opportunity in his heart. Yang Yanzhao bent his bow and arrows like lightning, and three arrows were fired together. The feathers and arrows turned into three virtual shadows in the air and rushed straight to Brother Yelu Xiu.
The light flashed in the tiger's eyes, and the boots under his feet turned into countless fragments, and then leaned on the horse's back. The bow in his hand was thrown to his right foot, with three feather arrows in his left foot, and quickly pulled the bow into a full moon shape.
With a low shout, he saw that the three arrows of Yelu Xiuge also flew out, and collided with the three arrows hit by Yang Yanzhao. Suddenly, the wood chips flew in the air.
Three arrows were fired at the same time, which stunned everyone, but Brother Yelu Xiu seemed to be nothing. He took the bow, looked at Qiu Yaner and Hu Qianer, and said faintly, "Attack the city!"
Later, it was another shout of killing all over the sky. Yang Yanzhao's face was frighteningly cold. The other party's move just now was not only as simple as breaking his three arrows, but also the most important thing was the strength and hegemony of killing Xiao Dili, which boosted his morale and fell a little.
"Kill me!"
Xiao Muchun roared, threw the bow and arrow in his hand, picked up the stone and threw it into the Khitan people. With his arm strength, he actually threw out dozens of feet and knocked over a group.
Seeing this effect, other poisonous scorpions also followed suit. They were all abused and trained by Guo Huai for more than a year. Although they did not step into martial arts cultivation, their strength came out, and they also picked up stones and threw them at the dense Khitan people.
Seeing that the stones he threw and smashed several Khitan cavalry, Dian Xu laughed loudly, "Haha, this method is good, much better than hitting the stone cart!"
However, the Khitan people did not seem to be affected by these. They still rushed forward with a scream. This time, in addition to the cavalry, there were also many infantry, either holding knives and shields or pushing the rushing cars, and some carrying ladders and staring at Yunzhou City, with a wolf-like bloodthirsty in their eyes.
After them, there were hundreds of archers, under the cover of wooden shields, shooting countless feather arrows at the head of the city to cover the infantry's progress.
Suppressed by the arrows of the Khitans, those soldiers who were not afraid of death finally arrived at the city. They watched them getting closer and closer, and even had ladders on the wall. Seeing this situation, Dian Xu roared and smashed two boulders in a row, and said anxiously to Yang Yanzhao, "Your Excellency, they have attacked!"
"A pat!"
Yang Yanzhao put the broken bow in his hand on the ground and roared. The first body was covered with wolf teeth nails, and the wolf teeth with blades on each side patted down. He pulled the rope, and suddenly dozens of Khitan people who were climbing screamed and fell down.
"Bum, bang!"
This is the sound of the car crashing into the city gate. Under the city, dozens of Khitan people are ecstatic in front of it. The ghosts are shouting and pushing the car to hit the gate. It seems that victory is just around the corner.
"Xiao Muchun, Dian Xu, smash the car!"
Yang Yanzhao tied the rope of the wolf's teeth in his hand to the city brick, held a boulder and roared at Xiao Muchun and Dian Xu behind him. The two quickly threw down the wood in their hands, picked up a large piece of masonry, and smashed it hard at the car.
More than a dozen stones were smashed down, and the several rush cars gathered at the gate of the city were finally scrapped. Looking at the continuous supply of Khitan soldiers, Yang Yanzhao didn't care about the sweat on his forehead and roared, "Fire oil, fire oil!"
Hearing this sentence, Ke Shouli, who had been busy dispatching soldiers to carry arrows and stones, immediately shouted to the deputy general not far away, "Zhang Ming, is the fire oil ready!"
"Okay, just wait for the adult to order!"
Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao shot a few arrows and shouted without looking back, "Dry it out for me and throw it out with a catapult!"
Not long after, a train of soldiers came up with fire oil wrapped in oil paper. These were sewn with needles and thread, which looked a little elliptical. Inside was the unused fire oil that the day hole bright light night attack.
The catapult threw countless oil-paper bags. The sharpshooters who were selected that day were all feathers and arrows wrapped in flames, aiming at the oil-paper bags and shooting out.
Flames bloomed in the sky, like a summer rainstorm pouring down, drenching on the Khitan people who besieged the city, touching the fur they were wearing, and countless firemen appeared in an instant.
Screams came one after another. The Khitan people who were burned by the fire rolled on the ground, ran around in pain, and soon ignited the others around them, making a large flame in the dense crowd of the city.
"Kill them!"
Seeing this situation, Qiu Yan'er roared, drew a knife and cut off his body full of fire not far away, and his subordinates who rolled randomly on the ground.
Hearing this sentence, the Khitan people couldn't do it for a while, until Qiu Yaner cut down a few more times, and his face twisted and roared, "This is a military order. Cut them to death!"
At this time, the Khitan, who had not been drenched in the fire and rain, cut down at their companions surrounded by flames one after another, but the fire and rain in the sky kept pouring down, when can it be cut down?
For a moment, it was full of wailing, the sound of asking for help, and even the begging of people who used to know each other not to kill.
Hearing this, Qiu Yan'er and Hu Qian'er are very distressed. These are all his people, the most elite sons, but now they have been hacked to death by their own hands. It feels even more painful than cutting their own meat. The heart is dripping blood!
However, when they went to the battlefield, they did not hear the horn to withdraw troops and evacuate without authorization. That is to escape from the battle, not to mention being executed, they also have to suffer the ridicule of the world. As one of the six ethnic groups in the North Courtyard, how can they tolerate this kind of thing?
There was no other way. Qiu Yaner cut down a few timid soldiers who fled, raised the long knife in his hand, and continued to shout the command to rush forward.
Finally, there was the sound of the horn of retreating soldiers behind them. Qiu Yaner and Hu Qianer had never felt that the sound of the retreating horn was so pleasant. The two looked at each other happily and hurriedly greeted the subordinates to evacuate the city.
When the Khitans retreated, Yang Yanzhao threw down the Yangmu bow in his hand and wiped the sweat on the bricks and stones of the wall. Xiao Muchun and others gasped tiredly, while those ordinary soldiers silently looked at the figures of the Khitans, and then turned their heads to look at the dead robes around them, with strong hatred in their eyes. I mean.
After repelling the two attacks of the Khitans, Yang Yanzhao was not happy at all. The enemy was fierce, and the soldiers were strong. He did not expect the enemy to defeat him in the future. What he could do now was to hold on for a moment, so as to buy more time for Pan Mei and others to cover the evacuation of the people.
There is a burning smell of barbecue in the air. This fire attack was unexpected and successfully retreated the enemy. However, there is not much fire oil in the city. I'm afraid that the enemy will also take precautions next time, and this move will not work.
After two consecutive life and death, the surviving soldiers had no fear and tenderness on their faces. They silently repaired the wall or sent the casualties to the city.
Blood is making them grow up quickly. If they can survive this time, they will be rare excellent soldiers.
With a sigh, Yang Yanzhao was really uncertain. He looked at the man who fought with his arrow under the big sled. He knew that this man would be a difficult opponent.
"Son, take a sip of water."
Xiao Muchun handed over a water bag, and Yang Yanzhao shook his head, "Brother Xiao, how many brothers have we lost?"
The latter hesitated a little, and then said slowly, "The archery of the Khitan dog is really extraordinary. I just heard Captain Ke say that more than 300 people were killed and more than 600 injured."
It was just two faces, and they lost one-tenth of their combat strength. Yang Yanzhao lowered his head and became silent.
Seeing him, Xiao Muchun couldn't bear to comfort him, "Son, brothers are all for the sake of defending their families and the country. It's worth it to die on the battlefield. What's more, the Khitan dogs killed are more than a thousand people, and you should cheer up."
Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao subconsciously nodded his head, "Brother Xiao said very well. If we can't stop this Khitan, tens of millions of people will suffer. As a seven-foot man, how can we sit and watch this happen?"
With that, Yang Yanzhao showed a sense of decisiveness and boldness, and strode forward to find out the deployment of the city head.
