Chapter 874 Mice Pond

5days ago traverse Novels 2
The water of the Hutuo River slapped on the rocks, and the white waves splashed and shone crystal in the sun.The Khitan cavalry ran on the flat road, in a corridor-like area, and the east-west extension was like a smooth road.

However, the north and south sides are overlapping, and the shadows of the mountains are overwhelming.The sound of horse hooves echoed between mountains and rivers.

Yang Gun knew more about Hedong than other Khitan generals. He told Xiao Duli: Going eastward is the road to Hebei; however, after passing Pingxingling (near Pingxingguan Victory) and Zhebei in Lingqiu, it is the road to Weizhou.As long as you arrive in Weizhou, there will be no danger to reach Yunzhou.

Xiao Duli agreed, and he had no choice.

The troops rode horses for nearly two hours, and the flat road gradually fluctuated and rugged. Suddenly, they found Xu Jun ahead!

Xiao Duli beat the horse to the most vanguard, and finally saw a group of soldiers and horses in the middle of the road waiting.He suddenly said: At this time, Gao Yanqiu, the men of Wuzhou (Zhangjiakou) appeared here?

The general scolded: We were plotted from the beginning!The entire north of Xu State is here!

No... Xiao Duli looked closely and noticed the Chinese characters on the Xu Jun flag. On various colors of the banner, the words Xu, Pingzhou Jun, Lin, etc.

He slapped his forehead and said that the general surnamed Lin from Pingzhou must be Lin Renzhao. This man is quite famous and is a subordinate of Liu Renzhan.

Xiao Duli stared and said: If the people here are Liu Renzhan's people, then where is Gao Yanjun?!

No one expected that the troops of the Pingzhou Army in Hebei would appear in Hedong, but Gao Yanqi was already under Xiao Duli's expectations... I had long known that Gao Yanqi's troops had left Wuzhou and moved westward; at first, the generals of the Liao army believed that Gao Yanqi was going to Yang Ye.

Now that he is obviously plotted by the conspiracy of the people of Xu, Gao Yanjun will definitely participate in the siege!

Gao Yanqiu may deploy a second encirclement front in the northern part of Yanmen Mountain!

Xiao Duli sighed suddenly, and suddenly felt that this time it was unlikely that it would be difficult to fly. I wonder how many encirclements Xu Jun’s army had.

He looked at the surrounding mountains. Only this road was known to be able to walk through. No one dared to lead the army to advance lightly in the mountainous areas in other directions. It was likely to be congested inside and fall into death!

The sun shone brightly on his head, but Xiao Duli felt cold in his hands and feet.The vast rivers and mountains with complex terrain in Xu State are no longer sheep pen hunting grounds, but they are like quagmire for people, and there are dangers everywhere!

He was desperate, but the enemy would never let go just because of his despair!

Xiao Duli quickly judged the situation and decided to fight Lin Renzhao... Lin Renzhao's subordinates were surrendered troops in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and their combat power was definitely not as good as the Xu Kingdom's imperial guards in the west; if the Southern Tang Army had strong combat power, then the large territory would not have been destroyed in a few months!

Xiao Duli believed that Jiangnan soldiers and land battles were even worse than Yang Ye's Hedong Army.

Attack immediately!Xiao Duli said coldly, otherwise would he sit here and wait for death and surrender?

The Liao army quickly mobilized its troops and attacked Lin Renzhao's troops at Gukou.

The cavalry's horse hooves roared, and the loess was everywhere!In the smoke, the firelight shone like stars, the firearms flew, the arrows flew everywhere, and screams and screams resounded through the mountains and rivers.

clatter!clatter!The heavy iron hooves collapsed on the ground, and every time the hooves fell, sand and soil splashed up.

The huge black shadow came out of the dust fog, and the sound of the thump made the misty air tremble. A spear fell not far away, and a soldier covered his eyes with his hands AhAh... screamed.

The soldiers behind Xu Jun staggered and walked two steps, and used their hands to hold the spear, and his whole body was trembling obviously!

The spear was trembling as well.

In an instant, the Liao cavalry neighed and jumped up. The horseman roared and a sword head-on. With a crack, the raised iron sword swung up blood.

The cavalry immediately rushed past the gun formation in front and squeezed in, with roaring and ding-clang sounds ringing.

Xiao Duli and others had climbed up a nearby hillside and looked up, and they were covered with weeds and loess.

The wind blew the dust away, just like the smoke from the weeds lit up.

Countless cavalry rushed to the mountain pass, and the formation ahead of Xu's army had collapsed. The infantry holding stick-like muskets were running desperately, and the cavalry's iron swords danced around.

Other square formations were also retreating to the slopes on both sides... It was very similar to a trick of seducing the enemy by believing defeat, because there were many soldiers and horses on both sides with the naked eye on the high ground.

Entering the valley road, the winding road gradually narrows!

But Xiao Duli had no time to play tricks with Lin Renzhao, so he decided to defeat him with his strength.I immediately ordered: Beat the drum and break through the block!

The drums rumbling, and the Liao cavalry vanguard shouted and rushed into the valley along the road.

On the hillsides on both sides, the horse-rejected sledge and cherry guns were like a barrier. Several platoons of arms and weapons stood behind the barriers, and fired guns at the running cavalry on the road.

The Liao army cavalry also ran forward bravely while riding sideways. On and down the hillside, people continued to fall from cavalry and Xu army infantry.On both sides of the road, smoke filled the sky and shouted.

Soon, the cavalry's edge reached a curve and the road was narrower. The Liao army's rushing speed was forced to slow down. This turning point became a nightmare!

The firearm flickered not only from both sides, but also from the front of the bent side, attacking from three sides; the road was narrow, and the firearm was close to it... Every time the fire flashed, the Liao army on the road seemed to have encountered lead balls washed like raindrops!

Some war horses knelt on their front hooves, fell to the ground with tragic brilliance, and some fell to the side, and both the people and horses were injured.The people rushing towards him continued to become sparse, and the last rider splattered blood and fell to the ground with a bang.

Wow, Ah… The screams and horse hooves did not stop at all, and a group of cavalry rushed over again from behind.

Bang bang bang bang... It seemed that there were loud noises on all sides. After the release, the soldiers immediately left the barriers, and the soldiers behind quickly placed the long firearm they were carrying flat on the road.

The land was no longer visible on the ground, the valley was covered with corpses of people and horses, and the mud and sand were stained dark by blood.

...The Liao general Xiao Duli on the hillside behind saw the valley covered with dust, with bursts of explosions and horse hooves shaking the sky, and I could not see clearly what was happening inside.

However, cavalry kept rushing in at the entrance of the valley, but the yellow dust never stretched like the deep in the valley... What happened to the stuffed men?

Xiao Duli can imagine it.

The war continued, and his eyes were wet.All the people around them were silent.

The Xi Bing and the Jurchen soldiers had already come down from their horses and were attacking Xu Jun on the hillside along both sides of the valley entrance.

There are people everywhere in the mountains and smoke everywhere in the fields. People do not seem to be fighting bravely, but they seem to be struggling in pain in the wilderness.

At this time, a Khitan man drove his horse to climb the slope with a large flag and shouted: General, Xu Jun pursuers fought against our rear army on the north bank of the (Hutuo River) River!Guanqi armor is Dong Zunhui's horse soldiers.

Xiao Duli stood there in a daze.

The general who reported the report shouted again.

Xiao Duli finally spoke: I'm telling the generals that our Liao army has entered the siege and death!Khitan warriors, Ning died in battle!

The Liao army and Dong Zunhui's troops fought in the west, and the sound of killing seemed to be heard throughout the corridor.

A group of cavalry on the southern bank of the Hutuo River wade north from the shallows, trying to detour Dong Zunhui on the back of the north bank to reinforce the Liao army on the north bank.Unexpectedly, I met Yang Yemen’s cavalry vanguard!

Dong Zunhui and Yang Ye met, echoing north and south, and their troops increased significantly.There are endless battles on both sides of the Hutuo River.On the surface of the river, there were corpses washed up by water, horse corpses and flags everywhere, which was in a mess.

In the afternoon, Dong Zunhui's troops gathered in cavalry and infantry, and the heavy infantry advanced slowly in a square formation, and the cavalry on both sides rushed.Yang Yemen also built a dense infantry formation.

The fight lasts from noon to evening!

The two armies squeezed eastward, and the total number of troops from both sides was no less than 100,000!It was all crowded in this area, on both sides of the Hutuo River, the corridor between Taihang and Yanmen Mountain seemed to be filled with people!

Taking advantage of the dimming light, many Liao army soldiers began to escape to the valley path between Yanmen Mountain and Taihang Mountain, and the battle situation was out of control.

The Liao army's men in charge of the battle shot and killed the fleeing horse with bows and arrows. Someone shouted in Khitan dialect: If you go into the mountains, you will get lost. Even if you can cross Yanmen Mountain, there will be Gao Yanjun!The scattered soldiers entered and died as sad as a dog... The Great Khitan warriors fought to the death with Xu Jun...

Deputy General Yelu Hu'er led his troops to detour from the front, and Yang Gun and others called him to stop.

Yelu Hu'er looked flustered and had no blood on her face. Seeing Yang Gun wearing bloody armor, she asked: Why is Brother Yang not in the central army? Why is he like this?

Yang Gun said: It's not my blood, the armor that took off from the dead.He paused and sighed, "It's not going to work hard!"

Yelu Hu'er was sad.

Yang Gun stepped forward and said in a deep voice: Someone must go north to find out the situation behind Mingshan and report the dangers of this place to Mr. Xiao.

After hearing this, Yelu Hu'er was stunned and said: Brother Yang can find the way?

Yang Gun pointed to the north and said: That valley is called Xigou. After crossing Xigou, there is a rugged road heading north.It is difficult for the army to pass, but if there are only a dozen cavalry, it will not be congested...

After hearing this, Yelu Hu'er turned to look at the big flag on the hillside.Yang Gun whispered: The crowded people and the horses cannot get through, let alone if the commander escapes, the army will be stopped.General, make a decision immediately!

At this time, the Xu army's cavalry had launched an attack from the north side, and the melee in front gradually approached the valley entrance called Xigou.

Yelu Hu'er hurriedly said: General Yang remembers his brother at this critical moment of life and death, and his brother will never forget him.

Yang Gun said: The King of the North Court (Yelu Xizhen) treated Yang very well...

Without further ado, Yelu Hu'er immediately ran north with her own cavalry and Yang Gun and others. Fan Zhongyi was also in the team, and at this time he was already ashamed and could not say anything.

Yang Gun ran into the valley with everyone, and couldn't help but look back when he was at the entrance of the valley.There were running people everywhere behind me, and the entire corridor seemed to be full of porridge.

At this moment, his heart was like a knife twisted, and he turned his head and rushed into the valley. The huge noise behind him was still in his ears, and a Chinese voice seemed to be heard from the air: General Yang, if you want to make a general plan for the country, how can you not shed some blood?

The incident that night in Daizhou suddenly came to my mind.
