The Khitan soldiers in the fort were being bombarded by a succession of bamboo crossbows and heavenly punishments, and before they could recover their senses, thick black smoke came up from under the fort, making them even more dizzy and unable to see and breathe. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Khitan soldiers who were worse than death fell to the ground one after another, and the defensive strength of the fort was suddenly greatly reduced, at this time, Lu Longjun because a large number of soldiers had gone to block the door of the fort, in order to avoid injuring his comrades, the attack method of carrying explosives with bamboo poles and crossbows slowed down, and the main energy was transferred to the door, as more and more Khitan soldiers died at the door, the corpses blocked the exit, and the Khitan soldiers in the fort were anxious, and someone began to howl and jump out of the window.

The Khitan sergeant who jumped out of the window, even if he didn't break himself into a human shape, he would be taken care of by Lu Long one by one. At this time, although Lu Longjun's use of the bamboo pole crossbow was a little smaller, the strong bow and crossbow did not stop for half a minute, and the comprehensive suppression of the fort was still watertight.

The Khitan sergeants in the fort did not all know only about rampage, and some of the clever ones ran down the stairs to the roof. The structure and fortifications of the roof of the fortress are very similar to the city wall, and behind the ring battlements, there are a large number of defensive equipment, as the highest place of the fortress and the best view, this is undoubtedly the strongest place of the fortress.

Looking down from the rooftop, among the arrows coming and going, you can clearly see the Lu Long army array blocking in front of several gates of the fort, as well as the Lu Long armor soldiers who hunt and kill the scattered Khitan soldiers with shields around the fort.

In front of the fortress, the commander of Lu Longjun's forward commander saw the wood and stones falling like rain on the top of the fortress, and immediately became furious, and scolded: "Is Zhang Mazi eating? Why hasn't his people moved? Come on, ask Lao Tzu! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunderstorm on the top of the fortress, and in the flying blood mist, the severed limbs of the Khitan soldiers flew in all directions, and the curtain fell from the sky like a rain of arrows, and the offensive of the Khitan soldiers there suddenly dissipated.

At the back of the fortress, a pockmarked Lu Longjun commander was commanding the attack on the roof of the fortress. Because the fortress group was built on the hillside, the rear was high, and it was not difficult to find a suitable place to throw explosives on the roof of the fortress, and because the small forts near the big fort had been taken, it was the Lu Long army that also arranged troops to deal with the Khitan soldiers on the roof of the fortress when they were preparing for a full-scale attack on the big fort.

In this way, although the Khitan Fort is like a giant beast, sitting on one side, because it has become an isolated island, it will soon be unable to support it under the three-dimensional siege of Lu Long's army. After rounds of attacks, Lu Longjun saw the opportunity and a large number of armor soldiers rushed into the fortress to harvest the remnants of the fortress.

The current method of dealing with the big fort is also being staged in other places at the same time, and the generals in the so-called Khitan army fort group have fallen one after another.

By noon, Lu Longjun had captured more than half of the military forts on the hillside, and the crowd was like a tide, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and the flood flooded up to the main city.

Jeluhege in the main city could clearly feel that the Lulong soldiers who were rushing up the hillside like a tide would not be long before they could swallow the city, swallowing him into his belly, eating even his bones, which made his heart tremble.

In the face of Lu Longjun's overwhelming offensive and unstoppable offensive footsteps, all confidence and reliance became a thing of the past, and fear was like a huge devil, opening its bloody mouth to Yikun Prefecture and swallowing everyone inside.

The successive defeats were reported back one after another, and the soldiers and horses sent out by Jeluheg fell on the hillside one after another under the bombardment of the Lu Long army, and never came back.

Although the defeated Khitan generals brought back some fragments of explosives, and although he could realize the slightest hint from the collapse of the military fort, he could never fully understand what means the Tang army used to make the military forts where they passed through a ruin.

And with such lightning speed.

Could it be that it is really a punishment from heaven, and it is really a god who is helping the Tang Army?

No Khitan generals asked to meet the Tang army, and no one even dared to take the order to go out of the city to meet the battle...... Panic and frustration were written on everyone's face...... Jerehage's heart was also filled with panic and frustration.

Jerehag stared at the battlefield in front of the city, his body trembling. He had been trembling for several hours, and his body not only showed no signs of stopping, but was trembling more and more.

The fortifications of Yikun Prefecture, which can be called a miraculous workmanship, many clever and killing moves hidden in the military fort group, and the indestructible and unshakable defense cluster, all came to naught in the face of the Tang Army's incredible and unreasonable offensive!

Yelu Heig knew better than anyone that if he continued like this, Yikun Prefecture would not escape the fall.

He now finally realized that Li Congjing's sentence "If you can't capture the city before sunset today, the lonely king will offer it with his head and hands" is not a random bragging, but a sincere statement with certainty!

Jerehag clenched his fists and tried desperately to suppress the tremor of his body, but he couldn't, just as he couldn't convince himself not to be afraid, and in the face of absolute strength, all self-inflicted calmness was a false joke. It had been several hours, and most of his body's strength had been consumed in this senseless trembling, and his teeth had not stopped fighting for a moment, and he had long since heard clearly what the strategists around him were saying.

Before Lu Longjun's siege of the city, his ambitions and confidence had long been forgotten outside the clouds. It is better to forget, and now that he thinks of those words, Jerodheg will be ashamed and embarrassed.

He remembered a ballad that circulated in the Khitan Kingdom a long time ago: Lu Long Li Congjing, waved thousands of troops, flicked his fingers for thousands of miles, broke the army without leaving a photo......

This ballad is about Li Congjing's appointment as an envoy to the Lulong Festival, and it is impossible to find out who wrote it and where it began to spread, whether it was intentional by the Tang people and it is impossible to test, but it has spread throughout the Khitan country in a short period of time, but it is an indisputable fact.

It is said that when Li Congjing left office from the Lulong Festival, the Khitan people celebrated with a crown, saying that Jiaolong returned to the south, and we could live in peace.

However, no one expected that now, Li Congjing is back!

Whether Li Congjing can face the battle, Yelu Heige has no time to think, because he has no choice, he is trusted by Yelu, sits in Yikun Prefecture, and it is his mission and duty to prevent the Tang army from going north.

Yeluhege remembered the great trust when Yelubei sent him back to the south when he returned to the court last year, and also remembered the words that Yelubei sent to him when he went west before, and there were four words in them, which Yeluhege would never forget no matter what: "The rise and fall of the Khitan is half due to Aiqing." ”

"Someone! Bring all the city-builders to the city! Jeluhege's eyes were fierce, and he turned around and shouted loudly.

Soon after, dozens of craftsmen who were responsible for supervising the defense of the city of Yikunzhou were pressed against the city wall and knelt down in front of the Khitan soldiers, including Khitans and Tang people who had been captured in the early years, and they were all technicians in the construction of the city. The craftsman led by him is more than half a hundred years old, and his beard is already white, and he is called Liu Zhong, which is the city defense fortification of Yikunzhou that he planned and presided over the construction.

Yeluhege gathered the generals in the city, climbed to a high place, drew his sword and looked around the soldiers, and said angrily and generously: "In the name of the emperor, you and I will sit in the south for the Great Khitan and fight bloody battles to defend the country, which is the duty, even if you die, you should never take half a step back!" ”

The Khitan soldiers were basically frightened by the offensive of the Tang army under the city, and there was not much morale left, and at this time they gathered in one place to look at Yeluhege, and they were also puzzled in their hearts, not knowing what the other party was going to do.

"Yikun Prefecture, the important town of the country, the emperor entrusted you and me, but the rise and fall of the Khitan was handed over to us, even in the face of a million Tang troops, you and I should fight without retreating! Warriors can die, cities cannot be destroyed, soldiers can die, and countries cannot die! Yeluhege shouted loudly, suppressing the trembling of his body with impassioned words, "The Khitan warriors are unparalleled in the world, and now that the Tang Army has arrived, you and I should have fought on the battlefield, made meritorious contributions, crowned my wife and son, and became the honor of the country!" For several years, we have been fighting hard every day, and when we are using force, the Tang army is coming, isn't it a godsend for wealth? ! ”

Yeluhege's words were surging and soon infected the Khitan soldiers, and these words were very much in line with their thoughts and experiences, and they felt empathy, and many people showed their excitement.

"However, as you can see, the Tang army attacked the city for only half a day, and more than half of the military forts outside the city fell! Why? If you don't know how to fight to the death in the Khitan warriors, if you and I don't know the tactics of war, it's actually a military fort outside the city, and it can't be built in accordance with the law, it's too useless to help you and me! Jerehage's words changed, and suddenly he said something amazing!

The craftsmen kneeling in the city were all shocked when they heard the words, and Liu Zhong, the craftsman at the head, was even more red-faced and his eyes widened.

Yelu Heige pointed at Liu Zhong, "This person is the head of the craftsmen, presiding over the construction of the city defense, you soldiers may not know, he is a Tang person!" He suddenly raised his knife and said angrily: "This is the person who is weak and vulnerable to the construction of the general's fort and group defense, and this person harbors evil intentions, and is really the culprit of our disadvantage in today's battle!" ”

As soon as Yeluhege said this, the Khitan soldiers were suddenly excited, and they glared angrily at Liu Zhong, and many people drew their swords out of their sheaths and shouted one after another, and they were about to come forward and cut him.

Liu Zhong's face was pale and depressed.

"What's more!" Yeluhege asked everyone to be calm for the time being, and continued to "expose" Liu Zhong's crimes, "This marshal has found out that before the battle, this person secretly communicated with the Tang people and handed over the city defense drawings to the Tang army, not only that, but he also asked people to inspect and repair the military fort in the name of secretly doing tricks and feet in the military fort, which made the Tang army attack at the beginning, and the military fort group was damaged one after another, making my Khitan warriors suffer heavy casualties!" ”

Yeluhege put the blame for the unfavorable war on Liu Zhong's head, and also told the Khitan soldiers that the reason why the battle situation came to such a field is not the crime of war - the Khitan warriors are still unparalleled in the world, not that they cannot defeat the Tang army, but they fell into the Tang army's treacherous scheme, so they will lose for the time being.

This is also equivalent to telling the Khitan soldiers that the tragic destruction of the military fort caused by the anger of the gods was not the anger of the sky, but the loss of people, which saved the Khitan army on the verge of collapse. This kind of technique is very clever.

"Should this person be killed?" Jerohegg asked aloud.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The anger of the Khitan soldiers could not be suppressed, and at this moment they no longer had the fear of the Tang army, because they knew that the Tang army's attack was smooth, but because of the "cooperation" of Liu Zhong and others' insidious methods, they still had a chance to win the war. It is precisely because of this that they hate the sinister and despicable Tang Army at this time, and they can't wait to go out of the city to break those Tang Army into pieces!

"Someone!" Jerohege shouted, "Cut off the heads of these thieves and sacrifice my souls!" ”

Yeluhege strode in front of Liu Zhong, pierced Liu Zhong's chest with a knife, and in the other party's resentful eyes, he leaned over to support the other party's shoulder, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't blame Ben Shuai, it's all for the Great Khitan, you go first!" ”

Dozens of artisans' corpses lay across the city, bleeding all over the ground.

Yeluhege struck while the iron was hot, raised his knife and shouted: "Warriors, the traitors have been eliminated, the Khitan will win, and go down to the city with the commander, defeat the Tang army, make contributions to the country, and seize the wealth!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

In a moment, Yeluhege personally charged into battle and led the Khitan army out of the city.

Finally reshaping the morale of the army and boosting morale, Yelu Heige did not dare to delay for half a minute, because although his skills were clever, his words could not withstand scrutiny, he could not give the Khitan sergeant time to react, and when the military heart was available, he had to make a last fight and drive the Tang army down the hill at any cost!

He knew very well that if the Tang army's offensive continued, the army would crush the city in about half a day, and the Khitan army would no longer have the fighting spirit, and no matter what excuse he used at that time, he would not be able to make the Khitan soldiers fight again.

Yeluhege's move of almost pouring out of the nest and losing a fight to the death was naturally clearly seen by Li Congjing on the watchtower.

"Yeluheg can still lead the troops to kill at this time, which shows that he is not a mediocre general." Du Qianshu looked at the battlefield from afar and said.

Mo Li smiled, "Not only is he not a mediocre general, the Khitan barbarian thieves are very powerful, I think about what means Yelu Hege used to organize a Jedi counterattack, it takes not only courage, but also wisdom, this person is enough to be called a good general." ”

Li Congjing patted the railing and glanced at the sky, "In this way, if you want to break the city, you don't have to wait until dusk." He beckoned, "Li Yanchao!" ”

"The last general!" Li Yanchao couldn't bear to go to the battlefield for a long time, and when he heard Li Congjing's greeting, he immediately became energetic, and stepped forward to hold his fists and wait for the dispatch.

"It's your turn." Li Congjing himself couldn't go into battle easily, so Li Yanchao, who had never participated in the war, was the reserve force he left, "Yelu Hege's head, the city of Yikun Prefecture, must be taken by the Lone King!" ”

"Bring these two things to Your Highness!" Li Yanchao suddenly promised, "Your Highness waits for a while, and the last general will come when he goes!" ”
