Chapter 461: Meeting on a Narrow Road
"Tell me to go down and follow me into the city." Li Zhongyi waited for more than half an hour, but he never waited for Yelu to come, he had to give up the idea of annihilating the Khitans, and was determined to quickly end the battle and completely occupy Runzhou City.
A senator who followed Li Zhongyi sighed heavily and said, "I really didn't expect that wow, the Khitans were not fooled." ”
Li Zhongyi urged the "blood killing" under the seat, smiled faintly, and said: "The Khitan people are in a period of rising national strength, and it is inevitable that there will be a few famous generals. ”
According to Yelu'an's confession, Li Zhongyi clearly knew that the chief of Runzhou would be Han Kuangsi, and the deputy governor would be Yelu.
Yelu oblique, Li Zhongyi feels a little familiar with this name, but he can't remember what this guy has done in history?
After the Jin destroyed the Liao, the Khitan script was gradually lost, and finally drowned in the vast tide of history.
In the past, Li Zhongyi read some historical books in his free time when he was serving the old chief, which could indeed play a good role in relaxing his brain.
The old chief is old and needs a quiet and tranquil environment to recuperate, and when Li Zhongyi is on duty, he must always wait next door to the old chief's room.
can't play games, and in order to keep the old chief's whereabouts strictly secret, even reading the news on the Internet is a completely impossible luxury for Li Zhongyi.
So, reading history books, newspapers, novels, and medical records has become the only little fun left when Li Zhongyi is on duty every day.
Of course, staying by the old chief's side ensured the health of the old man. Despite the very torturous patience.
However, Li Zhongyi's career path. It is also on the fast track. In the end, he was exceptionally promoted to the youngest dean in the history of the Academy of Medical Sciences.
For Jerod obliquely. Li Zhongyi has almost no impression, but another brother surnamed Yelu, named Brother Hugh, has long known it.
In the battle of Gaoliang River, Zhao Kuangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, wanted to take advantage of the might of the Northern Han Dynasty and directly take the sixteen states of Yanyun that were dedicated to the Khitan by Shi Jingtang.
Who would have thought that in the strategy of Jerod Hugo. Under the close cooperation of Yelu Xuan, Zhao Kuangyi's illustrious martial arts that he saw were about to be in his hands fell short, and he was defeated by Yelu Xiuge.
If it weren't for the luck of getting an ox cart, Zhao Kuangyi, who was hit by several arrows, was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed.
It is precisely because the Battle of the Gaoliang River was one of the decisive battles that determined the fate of the Liao and Song dynasties, that Li Zhongyi wrote down the name of Yelu Hugh.
As a matter of fact. If Li Zhongyi had read the history of Liao carefully, he would have been surprised to find that Yelu Xianzhen and Yelu Xiuge could be described as the beginning of the Khitan Kingdom. The unborn twin star celebrity.
Yelu outside the city didn't take the bait, and Li Zhongyi's attention naturally fell on the Yelu bottle, which was more meaningful to him.
According to Jerion's confession. Jeruva, who is only seventeen years old this year. She is not only the youngest sister of Yelujing, the lord of the Khitan, but also the famous flower of the Khitan.
Unlike any army of this era. In the siege battle in which Yulin Right Guard participated, the first thing was always to control the four city walls first.
In Li Zhongyi's words, it's good to beat the dog when the door is closed!
Therefore, after killing the elite tooth soldiers of the Han family led by Han Eighteen, Li Yunxiao's first order was to seize the four city walls, guard the four gates, and not even let a single mouse out of the city.
When Yelu led Han Kuangsi and his generals to the north gate, Li Yunxiao led the people to rush to the north city wall.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
One side desperately wants to break out of the encirclement, and the other side must come to an urn to catch turtles, so a fierce battle is inevitable!
Not long ago, when he heard the sound of the West Gate killing, the person in charge of guarding the North Gate knew that the situation was not good, so he quickly opened the North Gate, took the lead in running away with his head and the rat, and fled.
No matter how strong the dynasty is, with the passage of peace, the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly weakened.
Runzhou is located in the hinterland of the Khitan, has been more than 30 years, has not experienced the baptism of war, military discipline and armament abandonment, it is inevitable!
The guards at the north gate were the first to flee, and the consequence was that the soldiers were in turmoil, followed their commanders, got on their horses and fled.
When Li Yunxiao led people to the north gate, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and the door was crowded with Khitans, Xi people, Han people, and Bohai people who tried to escape from the road.
These people, either rich or noble, all brought their own fineness and softness and loaded them on the carriage, and as a result, they squeezed the already extremely narrow city gate hole.
Before Li Yunxiao could give the order to put down the jack gate, Yelu Bottle had already rushed to the city wall with people.
"Drop the gate. Triple hit, rapid fire! ”
With Li Yunxiao's rich experience in following Li Zhongyi's side, he saw through the extraordinary origin of the Yelu bottle team at a glance.
"Princess...... Be careful......" A loyal servant realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly blocked it in front of Yelu with his body, "Uh......" Where the blood splattered, the Grim Reaper brandished a hideous scythe and laughed wildly and took a living life.
"Disperse, disperse!" Han Kuangsi realized that the situation was not good, and he didn't know where the spirituality came from, so he actually pulled the saddle and dismounted at an unprecedented speed, and hid behind the tooth soldiers.
However, in a hurry, Han Kuangsi forgot about a major event out of instinct: the official Chinese of the Han people he spoke, not the Khitan dialect that had long been ripe.
As a result, Han Kuangsi's tooth soldiers obediently embraced him and hid into the house on the street, but they completely exposed Yelu's subordinates to Li Yunxiao.
In fact, the officers and soldiers of Zhou who followed Li Yunxiao to the city wall of the north gate were just over 100 people.
"Whoosh ......" because of the training is very well-trained, the officers and soldiers of Zhou immediately lined up in three columns, skillfully operated the divine arm bow (crossbow) in their hands, pulled the string expressionlessly, released the arrow, retreated, pulled the string again, released the arrow again, and then retreated, as if the perpetual motion machine was endless.
"Ah......h
"Ah......h
"Uh......"
Runzhou is a small city in the middle of the Beijing Road, there are no more than 10,000 mouths, and the road in the city can not be compared with the majestic Nanjing Xijin Mansion, which is so narrow that it can only accommodate four horses walking side by side.
Because of the lack of the slightest defense, there are constantly people around Yelu who are hit by arrows and fall from their horses, and tragedies are happening all the time.
Most of the servants of the royal family were around Yelu, who had been raising soldiers for thousands of days, and for a while, the generals desperately used their bodies to block her in front of her, surrounded her, and hid in the houses on the side of the street.
Li Yunxiao saw that the Khitans were scattered to avoid the attack of the bow and crossbow, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, the first batch of people who followed him to the north gate were actually only about a hundred people.
The jack gate has not been lowered, and the city gate has not been closed, if the Khitans are out of the way and rush out against the rain of arrows, it is likely that they will rush out of the city after paying the price of some blood.
As time passed, more and more Zhou troops flocked to the wall of the North Gate.
Several soldiers struggled to twist the chain plate, and slowly put down the jack gate, seeing that they were about to seal the city gate and catch turtles in an urn.
It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!
Who would have thought that the bottom of the jack gate was actually blocked by a carriage blocked in the city gate,
Although the carriage was crushed down, due to the uneven force, the guide zhì jack gate was not put underground, leaving a gap half a person high.
Li Yunxiao didn't notice this at first, he dispatched in an orderly manner, and a steady stream of soldiers and men rushed over, guarding all the key points on the city wall, and being sure to wipe out the enemies in the city.
It wasn't until Yelu Buhua, who came to his senses, and the generals in the princess's mansion who were surprised and crazy, raised the small shield in their hands and rushed out desperately, that Li Yunxiao was surprised to find that the jack gate was not put to the lowest.
"Little ones, the reinforcements of Deputy Governor Yelu are outside the city, as long as Her Royal Highness the princess is safely out of the city, a team of soldiers will be rewarded, and five Han girls will be rewarded."
When they met on a narrow road, Yelu didn't go out of the way, and he didn't have time to ask Yelu for the bottle, so he made a big promise of a great reward.
Note 1: The team, the road and the surface, the team is the basic military unit of the regular army of the Khitan court, a team of about 500-700 people, similar to a command (battalion) in the Later Zhou. Ten teams are one, ten blocks one side, and each has a detailed and stable leader.
Note 2, detailed and stable, the official positions commonly used in the Khitan State, the leading generals of the team, the road, and the surface, are all detailed and stable, (to be continued......)
