In the cold snow and strong wind, Amusu and Li Minfeng led the army to temporarily stationed in the north of Youzhou, and the An army rested at ease, replenished their physical strength, and waited patiently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At a cup of tea, in the shadow of the snow, a cavalry approached, and Zartai hurried back on horseback.

Zartai tightened the reins of the horse and stopped, and Amusu asked anxiously: "Zartai, how is it, what is the movement in Youzhou?" ”

Surprise attack on a snowy night, if the Tang army is heavily defended, it will add a lot of difficulties, the coalition army has traveled a long distance, and it may be in vain, he can't wait to learn about the defense of Youzhou City, and make a targeted strategy.

Next to him, Li Minfeng also stepped forward and approached Amusu War Horse, wanting to understand the situation in Youzhou.

Zartai was panting, white air came out of his mouth, like smoke, and hurriedly said: "General, the defense of Youzhou, more than the previous two days, the defenders have increased a lot, and it seems to be prepared." ”

"The Flying Cavalry Army has arrived in Youzhou, and the defenders in the city have increased, so they will naturally strengthen their vigilance." Hearing this, Amusu breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what the defense of Youzhou City is, in his eyes, is it strange that there are defenses on the city wall, and it makes people feel strange if they are not defenseless?

"General Amusu, it's cold, the Tang army is defending, don't be careless." Li Minfeng was much more cautious and kindly reminded.

Ice and snow, violent storms and snow, they have traveled a long way, and they are about to attack the city by surprise.

The increase in the number of defenders of the city wall may be due to the arrival of reinforcements, as Amusu said, but who dares to guarantee that this is not a trap laid by the Tang army?

Amusu turned his head and glanced at Li Minfeng, and retorted without hesitation: "General Li, when the army arrives in Youzhou, it suddenly soars and storms Youzhou, but in the blink of an eye, if the general is afraid of the battle, he will not blame you." ”

After saying that, Amusu drew his scimitar, turned around and ordered the Khitan cavalry in the rear: "The whole army cheers up and charges with the general." ”

"Whoa!"

In the vast white snow, the Khitan cavalry rode their horses, and the horses stepped on the snow and galloped forward.

The horse's hooves stepped on the snow silently, rolling up pieces of snowflakes, like a ghost in the snowy night, and went straight to Youzhou.

Li Minfeng paid attention to the Khitan cavalry attack, looking helpless,

Before leaving, Park Yuanmu discussed with King Zuoxian and determined that there was a seven-point chance of winning when the snow night attacked the city.

According to his plan, when marching and fighting, he should be cautious and have eight points before plotting.

Unexpectedly, Amusu marched and fought, and there was no order to speak of.

Take a deep breath of cold air, the cold breath goes deep into the internal organs, so that Li Minfeng's thoughts are clear.

The coalition army faced the severe cold, stepped on the wind and snow, and arrived in Youzhou, Amusu led the army to attack first, no matter what the odds were, his refusal to attack the city would eventually affect the plan of the Silla and Khitan coalition forces.

Slowly pulling out the saber at his waist, the sword was unsheathed, and Li Minfeng said coldly: "The whole army is leaving." ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The war horse galloped towards the cold wind, and Amusu drew his scimitar and waved it in the air, roaring loudly.

The pursuing cavalry also drew their scimitars, like wolves, roaring and howling.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing shook the treetops and snowflakes fell, and the cavalry swooped down, hunting and preying.

Youzhou, North Gate.

The patrolling defenders, in the howling wind, vaguely heard the shouts of northern killing.

The defenders, who had been prepared for a long time, gathered when they heard the sound and hurriedly prepared for battle.

In the city tower, Li Xuanji, Li Xuanqi, and Ye Qinghu also vaguely heard shouts of killing on a snowy night.

Ye Qinghu bent down and grabbed the horizontal knife leaning against the stove, and hurriedly said: "General Li, Lord Li, the last general beat the drum to remind the whole army that the Khitan cavalry is coming." ”

"Good!" Li Xuanji bowed his head.

The military situation was urgent, Ye Qinghu did not linger, and hurriedly went downstairs along the steps with a knife.

At this moment, Li Xuanji was anxious to prepare for the war, but was blocked by Li Xuanqi's words; "General Li, don't be impatient, wait for the thieves to attack the city, and the general will lead the army to rush to the aid and attack it unprepared."

Hearing this, Li Xuanji stopped his pace and turned his head to look at Li Xuanqi suspiciously.

The Khitan cavalry attacked, verifying Li Xuanqi's conjecture, and now he has great trust in Li Xuanqi, who does not say that he admires Li Xuanqi.

Looking at it, Li Xuanqi chuckled and explained: "Step by step, lure the enemy deep, and hit it hard." ”

"It's fine." Li Xuanji turned around and sat by the fire.

Ye Qinghu rushed out of the city tower, and the cold wind in his face made him tremble again and again, not afraid of the cold, he came to the snare drum, grabbed the cold ice drum hammer, and smashed it on the snare drum.

When slammed, snow particles were deposited on the surface of the drum, and they fell one after another during the vibration.

Boom!

Boom!

Bang――――

The drum hammer continuously hits the drum surface, and the rumbling drum is transmitted in all directions in the strong wind.

The city wall patrolled the left Qianniuwei, the flying cavalry, heard the news and gathered, and prepared for battle in the corridor.

For a while, the Tang army near the north gate all took action, looking panicked and panicked.

When the drum fell, Ye Qinghu dropped the drum hammer, came to the center of the city wall with a knife, stood quietly in the corridor, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and in the snow shadow, he vaguely saw the Khitan cavalry rushing in the north.

Ye Qinghu's expression was grim, and without the slightest hesitation, he whispered to the Tang troops on all sides: "The enemy army is coming, prepare for battle." ”

He had no experience in fighting the Khitan cavalry, and it was difficult for him to make targeted defenses.

However, a month ago, I was fortunate to go to the northwest with Yang Yue to fight and participated in the campaign to exterminate the Hexi Army, so I probably knew how to fight against the cavalry.

When the defenders heard the news, they took out their iron-tired bows, pulled their bowstrings, and put on long arrows.

In the cold wind, his expression was cold. With their eyes staring straight to the north, they only need the Khitan cavalry to come to the city and shoot arrows to kill.

Amusu, Li Minfeng led 50,000 foot riders and arrived at the north gate of Youzhou successively.

When he was three hundred steps away from the north gate, Amusu raised his hand to signal the whole army to stop moving forward, sat on horseback, raised his hand to flick his cotton hat, and looked at the city wall of Youzhou.

At the head of the city, the walls were covered with snow, and torches were planted, and the light of the fire shone as bright as day.

Inside the battlements, the Tang army stood against the wind, drawing bows and arrows, ready to fight at any time.

Amusu sent people to look for Li Minfeng in the army, and the two sides stood under Youzhou City, and Amusu said: "General Li, the Tang army is on guard, but there are not many defenders. Silla infantry, carrying siege equipment, good at siege operations, the general suggested, the general led the army to attack the city, the Khitan cavalry covered, if the north gate was breached, our army took the lead in the attack, clear the Tang army in the city. ”

"General Amusu, the Silla infantry is responsible for the siege of the city, but the attack on the city gate should be handed over to the general." Li Minfeng expressed his attitude.

The Tang army had long been on guard, although the defense was not tight, but forcibly attacked the city, and the infantry under his command as the vanguard, encountered the counterattack of the Tang army, which would cause serious casualties.

Amusu wants to sit back and enjoy it, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.

"Good!" Hearing this, Amusu chuckled lightly and cut the railway.

For a while, Li Minfeng stopped talking, walked a few steps, paid attention to the defense of the city wall, noticed that the Tang army was hurrying to prepare for battle, turned around and waved to the infantry under the tent, and shouted: "Siege the city." ”

The order was issued, and in the whole army, three thousand men hurriedly walked out, with shields in hand, longbows, and stepped on the snow, and quickly marched towards the bottom of the city walls.

Immediately behind the archers, about 2,000 infantry, they lifted the ladder and hurried forward.

"Cavalry cover!" Amusu ordered the cavalry to act.
