Chapter 280: The City of Fraud
Yelu Mada hurriedly fled Yangcheng with more than 3,000 soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Until now, he didn't fully understand what was going on, but he knew that the soldiers who had fallen into the city were finished.
Victory comes so easily, and defeat comes so easily.
In the early hours of the morning, Yelu Mada led five thousand Khitan iron cavalry, secretly rushed to Yangcheng, and suddenly launched an attack. After a rain of arrows, Jerumada was surprised to find out. The walls of Yangcheng were empty, and General Hou Ying, who had cut his fingers, written a bloody letter, and vowed to fight the Khitans to the end, fled without a trace.
At first, Yelu Mada thought that there was an ambush in the city, but when he saw a large number of Jin soldiers fleeing in panic in the city, Yelu Mada laughed and finally believed that it was true.
Hou Yingyuan was not as brave as he said in the blood book, and Yelu Ma answered that he doubted whether the blood letter that impassioned and moved the little emperor of Kaifeng was really from the handwriting of this general Hou. Or, at all, it was written by cutting someone else's finger. The rumors about General Hou's bloody battle and the cutting off of one of his ears are all false.
The Jin army gathered a large amount of grain and grass in Yangcheng, and Du Chongwei's grain road was so easy to fall into the hands of the Khitans, and Yelu Mada finally believed again that Changshengtian was still protecting the Khitan national fortune.
As long as the city of Yang is firmly defended, as long as the grain, grass and ordnance of this city are transported to the camp of the Great Khan, it is only a matter of time before Du Chongwei's 200,000-strong army is destroyed.
With these grains, grass and ordnance, it is enough to support the needs of the Khitan 130,000 army for two months. In other words, the grain and grass in Du Chongwei's army have been eaten, and the Khitan army can still support it for more than a month. Even if the Khitan army simply surrounded Du Chongwei, a month later, the Khitan would be able to calmly accept Du Chongwei's surrender.
Yelu Mada even suspected that he might not wait for the day when the Jin army ran out of food and grass, and Du Chongwei's 200,000 army was likely to collapse completely, if Du Chongwei's subordinates had enough "brave" generals like Hou Ying.
Around the end of the afternoon, Yang Zhao led 20,000 grain men and horses to Yangcheng.
Yelu Mada had already received a report from Yelude Guangfei that the 20,000 troops led by Yang Zhao of Wanhu would transport the grain, grass and ordnance of Yangcheng to the Khitan camp.
Originally, it would not have been possible to transport grain and grass with so many people and horses.
However, Yelu Deguang thought that the combat power of the surrendered army was not strong, and sending more men and horses could ensure the safety of these grains and grasses.
Du Chongwei's 200,000-strong army was surrounded by 80,000 Khitan troops, and it was an exaggeration to say that not a single fly could fly, but it was simply impossible to rush out of a large army.
The Jin army wants to put on a posture and fight with the elite Khitan army, which is looking for death, and the reputation of the Khitan iron cavalry being the first in the world is not blown, but fought in a battle of blood and fire.
Wanhu Yang Zhao Yelu Ma replied that he knew that he was a timid and cautious guy, let him go to the charge, Yang Zhao would never succeed, but if he wanted to transport grain and grass, he could do it well.
The Great Khan is really a good person, and even a useless waste like Yang Zhao can find out his usefulness.
Jerumada was convinced.
"General Yang, hard work!" On the city tower, Yelu Mada recognized Yang Zhao at a glance.
"Whereever, no matter how hard you work for the Great Khan, you should do it! General Yelu is the one who has worked hard and made great achievements!"
Yeluma laughed loudly, cursed in his heart "old slippery head", and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.
The 20,000 troops slowly entered Yangcheng, and Yang Zhao led more than a dozen subordinates to the city tower.
Yelu Mada was about to meet him, when suddenly a person next to him grabbed Yelu Mada's arm and shouted: "General Yelu, go quickly, it's Li Fengyun!"
Yelu Mada was stunned for a while, but Xiao Dan, the first-class treasure hand responsible for protecting his safety, had already blocked in front of him.
"Hahahaha" A person jumped up from Yang Zhao's side, pulled out the two steel knives behind his back, and laughed: "Yes, it's me Li Fengyun." Jerema, you've been fooled!"
As he spoke, he brandished his steel knife and pounced on Yelu Mada.
Xiao Dan slammed Yelu Ma back and shouted to the guards who were still in a daze: "Take General Yelu away!" As he spoke, he pulled out the scimitar on his waist and went straight towards Li Fengyun.
Who knows, a fat soldier jumped out from Li Fengyun's side. stopped Xiao Dan with a pair of fleshy palms alone, and fought with Xiao Dan.
Then Jerumada also came to his senses and cried out, "Close the gates quickly, and don't let them in!"
At this time, I remembered to close the city gate, where was it too late?
I saw that the soldiers suddenly pulled out their blades and cut down the Khitan warriors who were guarding the city gate one by one, and occupied the city gate in an instant.
Later, a large number of troops rushed into the city.
Seeing this, a general hugged the furious Yelu Mada, dragged him back, and said loudly: "General, Yangcheng can't be saved, let's go, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"
Seeing this situation, Yeluma also knew that the general trend had gone, sighed, and under the protection of Xiao Dan and the generals, he killed the city tower with his life, and escaped from Yangcheng through another city gate on horseback.
Yelu Mada, who escaped from Yangcheng, looked at the soldiers and horses behind him, and there were less than 3,000 horsemen left, and he didn't feel the old tears.
Li Fengyun was obviously anxious to take control of Yangcheng, and did not send an army to pursue and kill Yelu Mada.
More than three hours ago, he was still laughing at the incompetence of the Jin army, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Li Fengyun killed him by surprise, recaptured Yangcheng, and even let the two thousand Khitan iron horsemen fall into the city. This is a good dream, and I woke up too quickly!
The victory came too quickly, but too quickly, and it gave Jerumata a dreamlike feeling.
Yelu Mada couldn't understand how Li Fengyun flew out of Baituanwei Village under the siege of 80,000 Khitan elite horsemen. I can't understand how Li Fengyun persuaded Yang Zhao to cooperate with him.
You must know that Yang Zhao has 20,000 soldiers and horses. Although the combat power of these 20,000 soldiers and horses is very weak, it is also 20,000 soldiers and horses. Don't say 20,000 people, even if it's 20,000 chickens, you have to catch them for half a day.
Could it be that Yang Zhao had already hooked up with Li Fengyun and took this opportunity to present a grand gift to the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom?
It is very likely! This guy was deeply thoughtful, and he was not loyal to the Great Khan, but at this time, seeing that the Khitan army had been repeatedly frustrated, he had different intentions, and secretly colluded with Du Chongwei to wait for the opportunity.
This guy is really annoying and killable!
The more Yelu Ma replied, the more he felt that Yang Zhao was suspicious, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yang Zhao had colluded with Du Chongwei. Unconsciously, his hatred for Yang Zhao had far overshadowed Li Fengyun.
Turning his head and glancing at Yangcheng hatefully, Yelu Mada led a group of remnants of the defeated army and ran straight towards Yelu Deguang's camp. (Note 1)
