Chapter 462: Fight to the death

"Whew......"

"Vanu ......"

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, the generals of the princess's mansion, and the tooth soldiers under Han Kuangsi, one by one, as if crazy, pulled their bows and began to shoot at the Zhou army at the head of the city.

"Ah......" Although many families were shot in a pool of blood, the Khitans who dodged the cold arrows also caused a lot of interference to the Zhou army's three-stage attack.

In a small amount of effort, the casualties of the Zhou army at the head of the city have exceeded 30 people.

Listening to the wailing sound of the wounded robe, Li Yunxiao immediately made a decision, ordered to disperse the formation, and blocked the road out of the city with the divine arm crossbow relying on the arrow battlement.

Mounted archery is the strength of the Khitans, however, the Khitans who are arranged to be the generals in the princess's mansion are almost all strong marksmen.

The Zhou army is good at the neat three-stage attack of the team, but after all, the Shenjian crossbow is slow to wind, and the speed of shooting is naturally inferior, and the Khitan people who can release cold arrows by pulling the bow.

What's more, the Khitans used the courtyard walls or doors and windows as cover, and immediately bowed their heads after drawing their bows and firing arrows.

After a little longer when the two armies were firing at each other, the Zhou army at the head of the city gradually became at a disadvantage, and the casualties gradually increased.

Yelu noticed that the strength of the city's counterattack was gradually weakening, and her beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she immediately made a surprising move.

"Little ones, follow me." Yelu took the small shield in the hand of one of the generals, blocked it, and rushed to the hole in the city gate that left a loophole.

The power of leading by example is endless!

Driven by the Yelu bottle, in the shouting of Yelu Buhua, some of the families will raise the small shield in their hands. Protect the side of the jar from the airtight.

Small shields. In fact, it is the guard of the high-ranking royal family members of the Khitan Kingdom, which is equipped with a kind of close defense tool. The shield is usually hung on the saddle. The purpose is to prevent gangsters from hiding in the shadows and shooting cold arrows, which poses a serious threat to the personal safety of the members of the royal family.

Seeing that Yelu Bottle and his party were getting closer and closer to the city gate under the cover of the small shield array, Li Yunxiao couldn't help but feel a little breathless.

The epoch-making weapon of the Divine Arm Bow is a long-range strike weapon developed in advance under the auspices of Li Zhongyi, and its power is extremely great: within one hundred and fifty steps, it can easily penetrate heavy armor.

The generals of the princess's mansion. Although everyone has armor, they are only wearing a layer of iron armor, which is far from being able to resist the blow of the Divine Arm Crossbow.

However, after penetrating several layers of iron sheets and specially processed small shields, its momentum was already weak, and it was impossible to cause too much damage to the generals of Yelu Bottle.

Li Yunxiao watched as Yelu was escorted by the shield array. It was getting closer and closer to the city gate, and he didn't have a good way for a while, so he had to blow the bamboo whistle desperately and gather the robes who attacked the city.

Nearby Zhou officers and soldiers. Hearing the whistle of an urgent call for help, they immediately rushed towards the north gate under the command of their respective officers.

"Whoosh......" The city gate hole is already close at hand. There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he moved forward with his small shield. While loudly encouraging his subordinates, "Quick." Hurry, hurry, hurry up again......"

Suddenly, sharp arrows from the sky spilled into the crowd like splashing water, and immediately knocked down a large number of the generals who were hiding behind Yelu Bottle.

Yelu Buhua noticed that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted regardless of Qiqi: "Don't worry about the back, cover the princess and rush out......"

Although Yelu Buhua was very clever and decisive, there were more and more Zhou officers and soldiers who gathered at the north gate.

After Li Yunxiao had gathered fifty new forces in hand, he immediately swung his knife down and roared angrily: "Kill me with me." ”

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

The soldiers of the Zhou army, under the leadership of Li Yunxiao, pounced into the group of generals in the princess's mansion along the stone steps of the city, like a tiger descending from the mountain.

In the melee, the crossbowmen behind both sides had scruples and did not dare to continue shooting random arrows.

In terms of bravery, the generals of the Princess's Mansion are all the best among the Khitans, and they are all good at fighting alone.

However, when encountering Zhou Jun who did not play cards according to the normal card rules, these generals around Yelu Bottle suffered a lot.

The soldiers of the Zhou army, under the command of Li Yunxiao, formed a thick wall of people in a very short time.

"Piercing ......" Li Yunxiao played the copper flute in his mouth very regularly, and the officers and soldiers of Zhou in the first row, according to the rhythm of the flute, shouted in unison, "Kill ......"

After the "poof......" spear pierced the Khitan people's body, it made a dull noise, and then a series of screams came out from the Khitan camp.

"Killing ......" accompanied by the sound of the flute in Li Yunxiao's mouth, the soldiers of the Zhou army did not relax at all, and in the blink of an eye, they left more than 20 Khitan corpses in front of their feet.

The streets crowded were too narrow, and even though the Khitans were killed, they couldn't retreat because their backs were being held back.

In the chaos of the army, the warriors in the first row of the Zhou army also suffered a lot of casualties, and eight robes were hit by arrows, fell in a pool of blood, and could no longer get up.

At this time, more and more Zhou officers and soldiers rushed down from the city, and they quickly joined the queue to intercept them.

Yelu Buhua obviously sensed that something was wrong, he swung his knife and slashed to death the two generals who dared to retreat, and roared sharply: "Only by killing can you live." "Desperately drive his generals forward.

Horseback riding, bowing, and archery are certainly the Khitans' forte, and they don't even deserve to carry shoes for Yulin's right guard.

Li Zhongyi heard the sound of the copper flute in the air one after another, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and muttered: "It seems that Xiaosong is adorned with a big fish." The order was given, and the various divisions quickly assembled at the north gate. ”

Most of the dispatches of Yulin Right Guards at the time of the battle relied on various musical instruments, which was many times more efficient than the Khitans' manual orders.

"There's no news from Yelu over there?" Thinking of this, Li Zhongyi felt extremely strange in his heart, if it was just Han Kuangsi who was trapped in the city, Yelu did not dare to show up, but it was understandable.

The problem is, it was Yelu who was surrounded by Yelu Bottle, if Yelu didn't dare to come to the rescue, wouldn't he be afraid of annoying Yelujing and losing his head?

Yelu had already arrived, and when he heard the deafening shouts of murder in the city, he had already wanted to rush in and rescue Yelu from the bottle.

It's just that Li Zhongyi's original reserve between the north gate and the east, the Flying Dragon Cavalry, was very coincidentally on the side of Yelu's oblique side.

Li Zhongyi knew that the combat strength of the Flying Dragon Cavalry was insufficient, and he did not expect to rely on them to charge into battle at all, but only arranged for a cavalry of more than 2,000 people to act as a reserve for the whole army, and when needed, rush out to help the army.

If it was on the grassland, it would be impossible for Yelu to put the Han cavalry in his eyes at all, and what was extremely tricky was that the flying dragon cavalry was in formation, with its back against the city wall of Runzhou.

Cavalry assault, one relies on the huge impact brought by speed, and the other relies on interspersing, dividing and annihilating the enemy.

Yelu knew very well in his heart that although he could kill the Han cavalry at high speed, because the distance was too short, he had no way to intersperse. (To be continued......)
