Chapter 466: The Battle of Tianjing (1)
Li Yanneng is still relatively proud to be one of the few henchmen of Liu Yu in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the sneak attack on Tianjing Pass is also a plan he proposed, and he did not expect this plan to go so smoothly. He couldn't help but feel a little secretly proud in his heart, what a big Zhou Xiongbing, in his eyes it still looked vulnerable. This moat-like pass was easily taken by himself, and he was naturally overjoyed in his heart.
Tianjing Pass is still the same dangerous pass, but its owner has been replaced by Li Yanneng, the general of the Northern Han Dynasty. At present, as long as he can hold this dangerous pass, in the near future, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty will definitely take Zezhou and Luzhou, and his own credit will be the greatest at that time. Thinking of this, Li Yanneng couldn't help but smile comfortably.
Yesterday there was just a dripping spring rain, and there was still a damp atmosphere everywhere, and at this time, the patio gate has lost its original prosperity and liveliness. The local people closed their doors, and there were only a few pedestrians hurrying through the streets and alleys.
Under the crowding of his own personal guards, Li Yanneng withdrew his armor and walked in plain clothes in the dangerous pass of this Jincheng Taihang. There are not too many people in the city, there is only one street less than two miles, and there are only three or four alleys running through this street.
Beside him was a guard with a vigilant expression, and under his feet was a wet bluestone ground, looking at the towering mountains and steep walls outside the city wall of Guanguan, Li Yanneng felt how lucky he was. If it weren't for Zhou Jun's carelessness, where would he have been able to sneak attack and take down this dangerous pass in one fell swoop.
"Newspaper", a hurried figure rushed from another section of the street, Li Yan could fix his eyes, but he was a general. I saw that the general's face was pale, and he was panting and running towards him. Seeing that the face of the comer was a little flustered, Li Yanneng subconsciously felt a shock in his heart.
"What's the matter, so flustered, isn't it that Zhou Jun is about to arrive?" After all, Li Yanneng is a general of the first army, and of course he can't lose his demeanor in front of all the soldiers. He immediately shouted at the hurried general, even if the Zhou army pressed the border, he could use this heavenly barrier to block the Zhou army.
"General Yu, twenty or thirty corpses were found outside the city gate, and the decoration should be Khitan." The general couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and he reported to Li Yanneng tremblingly. The general in front of him, but His Majesty the Emperor's celebrity, took this moat pass with one plan, and he could only act carefully. The general secretly made his own mind in his heart, and secretly looked at the other party's face.
Li Yanneng was not surprised by the appearance of the Khitan warriors, and was able to win this dangerous pass, and the fierce Khitan people also made a lot of efforts. As for the identity of the group of Khitan warriors who contributed to him, he didn't know. He only knew that this group of people was about forty people, but they were an elite warrior no less than tens of thousands of troops. From this group of people, he felt inexplicable palpitations and jealousy, he would rather face the army of the Great Zhou than this group of people.
"What, there are dozens of Khitan corpses outside the city, have you found out the identity of this group of Khitans, and who did it?" Li Yanneng was shocked, now it was the alliance between the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty, but dozens of Khitan corpses were found under this pass gate, which made him not frightened.
"I didn't find out, but last night this group of Khitans were ambushed outside the city gate, as if they wanted to kill someone. Later, somehow it evolved into such an ending, there was also a fierce killing under the city last night, the night was too dark, and the soldiers defending the city did not see the faces of the people who tore apart with the group of Khitans. But what is certain is that the man seems to be very young, and his weapon should be a knife. ”
The general replied cautiously, peeking at his boss's face from time to time. For those Khitan corpses, his heart also flowed a little happy. The group of Khitan warriors are all fierce and vicious, and they don't regard the Northern Han soldiers as human beings, and make things difficult for them everywhere.
"Damn, these damn Khitan barbarians, they refused to reveal a single point about their actions last night, but they all became ghosts under the knife when they didn't expect it." Li Yanneng's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he said hatefully: "Those Khitans have no one in their eyes, and they are extremely cruel, and they have been retributed." ”
"General, what should we do with those corpses, and do you want to send someone to collect them?" The general asked again, and he stopped talking, as if he wanted to say something but in the end he didn't say it. For last night's action, he was already dissatisfied with the Khitans, using the heads of the dead, which was the biggest disrespect to the deceased, but he succumbed to the obscenity of the Khitans, and he could only ignore the matter.
"Hurry up and ask someone to put it away, the main force of the Khitan people and the army led by His Majesty the Emperor are about to meet, you should send someone to inform you. Just say that this matter has nothing to do with us, lest Your Majesty blame you for not having any good fruit to eat. Li Yanneng replied with an impatient wave of his hand, and then sent the general down.
And he completely lost his original interest, and the whole street was empty, almost just a few of them. In the current extraordinary period, he didn't expect that this group of elite warriors sent by the Khitan would be so poor, and they were all killed. Thinking of this, his body couldn't help but feel cold. He quickened his pace and walked towards the barracks, for the death of the dozens of Khitan warriors, he had to find a proper reason, otherwise he would not be able to escape the blame even if he had great credit.
"Can it still be worry-free?" Li Yanneng muttered in his heart and walked towards the barracks, and the joy brought by the successful sneak attack was suddenly like being covered by dark clouds in the sky as soon as the spring sun came out. And the weather at this time is exactly like this, the warm spring sun has just appeared in the morning, but after half an hour, the sky has changed greatly.
When he walked into the barracks, his buttocks were not yet hot, and there was a loud commotion outside the tent, and the noise outside made him upset for a while. "Who's making a loud noise outside, and where is the lieutenant?" With a loud roar, Li Yanneng couldn't stand this feeling of depression in his heart anymore.
"The end will be." An adjutant general in armor flashed in from outside the tent gate, and he bowed down and said, "General, there are some representatives of the local people outside the tent, and they asked to see the general, saying that they want to open the city gate and restore everything in this pass. It is said that after many days of retreat, the people in this pass will not be able to make a living.
"Is it so serious, the city has only been closed for three or four days, and they can't live. He was instructed to reopen the gates of the city in a few days, but not now, and if anyone made any more trouble, they would be beaten out with sticks. Li Yanneng replied sharply. He has not yet found a reasonable explanation for the death of the Khitans, and the people in this Tianjing Pass have made a fuss again, which is simply a wave of unsettled waves.
After the deputy general walked out, Li Yanneng breathed a long sigh of relief, he was the only one in the tent. Under normal circumstances, unless there is an emergency military situation, he will be alone in the camp thinking about it. After a short time, the noise outside the tent ceased, and of course it disappeared with a few screams.
For a while, he really couldn't think of any good explanation, but he couldn't blame himself for the death of that group of Khitans. Alas, at the moment, he can only take one step at a time, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, he can't help but show a wry smile, and can only comfort himself like this.
There was another rush of footsteps outside the tent, but it was the general who went and returned. I saw that the deputy general went straight to open the cloth door of the camp tent and ran in without notifying, which made Li Yanneng, who was in deep thought, suddenly show anger. What he hated was that someone disturbed him while he was pondering, and what made him even more angry was that the lieutenant had forgotten even the most basic military etiquette.
"What is so urgent, I can't say how to deal with it by this military law. What kind of system is so rushed. Li Yanneng's face sank, and he shot out the light of a cold man from his eyes. He really didn't understand why he successfully won the Tianjing Pass, he didn't have time to rejoice for a few days, he would encounter a lot of trouble, could it be that his reputation in the first life was really going to fold in this Tianjing Pass.
"General Yu, there is a Khitan outside the city who calls himself Yelu Wuji and asks to enter the customs."
Seeing that Li Yanneng had a look of displeasure on his face, the lieutenant general immediately said in a low voice and cautiously. Originally, the general ordered the city gate to be sealed, but no one thought that there would be Khitans appearing, it seems that the Khitan named Yelu Wuji is not small, otherwise how could he call the general's name.
"What, you said that Yelu Wuji is here." Li Yanneng heard it and exclaimed. He can be like a thunderbolt to Yelu Wuji's name, and this temperamental Khitan second master is not something that a general of his dignified Northern Han can afford to provoke. And the Khitan people he didn't want to face the most were such a number one person, the Khitans were extremely fierce, cruel and bloody, and they didn't have a good face for the Han people at all. But Yelu Wuji is even more of an evil person, doing everything according to his own preferences, he didn't expect this evil star to come to Tianjing Pass.
"Didn't he go to the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom with the Khitan Great Masters, how could he appear here." Li Yanneng felt that there was something strange about this matter, and muttered. He walked back and forth in this tent with his hands on his back, and he really couldn't figure out why this second Khitan master appeared in Tianjing Pass for no reason. Although the Northern Han and Khitan alliances violated the border of the Great Zhou, this was only a tripartite military action, and Yelu Wuji would not take it into account at all.
"General, whether we take it or not, do you want to open the city gate to welcome him in." Seeing that the other party did not react, the deputy general couldn't help but ask anxiously. Although he didn't know Yelu Wuji's status in the Khitan, he still had eyesight, and this person called the general's name, which shows that this person's status in the Khitan must not be low.
"Let's go, go out and have a look." Li Yanneng reluctantly ordered, no matter what, he couldn't offend this Khitan master. He has heard a lot of Yelu Wuji's reputation, not only the martial arts realm is high, but it is also said that he is also the first guard of the Khitan Emperor today, and he is a big celebrity around the Khitan Emperor.
Yelu Wuji's expression was a little embarrassed, he searched in Taihang Mountain all night, but he didn't find Ye Yinfeng and Dugu Aoxue, which made him very annoyed. When he came to the gate of the courtyard, he found that the gate was closed, which made him even more angry, and when he learned about the general of the defenders, he called him by his name.
When Li Yanneng and the deputy general came to the top of the city, Yelu Wuji was roaring, like a fierce beast trapped in a desperate situation. He almost didn't recognize the people under the city, who were disheveled and disheveled, but his face was a little more aggressive. If it weren't for the unique demonic aura on that person's body, he would have thought that he was a bold and reckless man. When he confirmed the identity of Yelu Wuji, he led several soldiers down from the city wall.
Yelu Wuji's vicious and ferocious gaze swept Li Yanneng, and then he didn't speak again, and the cold aura that emanated from him made the hearts of the few people beside him tremble. Just one look, coupled with the absolute aura of an evil demon emanating from his body, made Li Yanneng have a dense layer of fine sweat on his forehead.
