Chapter 480 Finale
Yelu Feng's armor was also covered in blood, and the original color of the Minghero and Ming armor could no longer be seen. He held a knife and ran while looking at the soldiers on both sides. "Ouch," Yelu Feng shouted, and he slid out. It turned out that there was a pool of water on the ground, which had frozen into ice. It was snowing on the ice again. Yelu Feng stepped on it and stood unsteadily. He slid out with a slid horizontally. The fall slid more than two feet away, making him dizzy.
"grown ups,"
Several colleagues around him shouted, and Yelu Feng got up dizzyly and shouted, "Sir, don't worry about me, it's important to take back the city gate."
Several generals around him gritted their teeth, waved their hands and ran forward with their men. Yelu Feng asked the two personal soldiers to pull him up and searched around. He didn't know where his sword was thrown. The snow on the ground was very thick, so it was difficult to find.
"Slow down,"
Just as he ran two steps, Yelu Feng suddenly stopped, turned his head slowly, stared straight at the place he had just slid to, and a strange light gradually appeared in his eyes.
Several Khitan generals finally arrived in time and rushed forward. Their power was unstoppable. The Yan army, who had been struggling to support the city gate, was greatly boosted. After fighting to the death, they pushed the Tang army's defense line backwards several feet, and rushed into the enemy group like a wolf or a tiger.
“Back, back off,”
Yelu Feng, who had arrived on the city wall, ordered people to shout. The guards and others at the bottom of the city heard that the police had just avoided the city gate, and some unknown things were poured like heavy rain on the city. The Tang army was afraid that it was golden juice and dung soup, so they hurriedly retreated to watch the movement, but it turned out to be boiling water. The water splashed on its body, and the burning pain was unbearable. Once it landed, the heat boiled. It was originally heavy snow and the water vapor on the ground was filled with water. It was like heavy fog, and it blocked the city gate, and the inside and outside could not see things.
Immediately afterwards, bundles of firewood were thrown under the city, and then hot water was poured on. At the same time, Yelu Feng ordered his subordinates not to save arrows, and all the limited arrows of the defenders on the city were used to shoot and injure many Tang troops during this period.
Yelu Feng used hot water to stop the enemy. He was worried that hot water would not freeze, but he had no choice but to do both. He was quite nervous, but he didn't know that hot water was easier to freeze than cold water. Yelu Feng was hit by mistake, and the firewood piled up higher and higher, and the hot water was poured on layer by layer. When the arrows on the city were knocked to the rocks and there was no way to deal with the enemy under the city, an ice wall was already standing in front of the city gate, blocking the city gate firmly.
In the past, in order to resist the cold wind, the tribe once frozen into a wall with bales and water. In winter, the tribe hid in a place where the leeward was behind the wall. When the flowers bloomed in spring and the tribe migrated, the ice wall would automatically collapse. This method of building a city quickly was not expected to be used in the city of Peking. He just slid and saw the thin layer of ice under his feet. He suddenly thought of this, but he didn't expect it to work.
Duan Mingyu led the soldiers and ran several miles in a row. The blood of these soldiers ran away, full of energy and "high morale". However, it was useless when they came. In the snow, the soldiers of the Tang army saw such a miracle and felt that the Khitan army seemed to have help from heaven and were invincible at all, and they couldn't help but feel very depressed.
Duan Mingyu had to return in a depressed mood, and returned to the big tent, looking at the sand table, feeling powerless. At this time, Yang Zhaoniang suddenly ran in and said proudly, "Brother Mingyu, I have it,"
Duan Mingyu was shocked, "What, you have it, which bastard did it?"
"What, where have you been thinking? What people said is that I have a way to break the city..." A bright red appeared on Yang Zhaoniang's pretty face, and she leaned into Duan Mingyu's ear and muttered for a long time.
"Can this work?" Duan Mingyu said suspiciously.
"How can I know if I don't try it? Forty-hundreds of thousands of people, one bag of sand is enough to fill it up," Yang Zhaoniang replied confidently.
"Okay, let's try it out," Without further ado, Duan Mingyu immediately ordered each of the three armies to put a sack full of sand and soil. The attack on the next day was of great use, and all the soldiers of the three armies were suspicious.
When siege the city the next day, Yelu Feng found that the Tang army was obviously bluffing and the attack was not so tragic. However, he discovered a strange phenomenon. Each of the Tang army carried a large sack, which contained sand and soil. With the support of crossbows, these soldiers approached the base of the city wall, opened the sack, poured the killing soil cleanly towards the base of the city wall and left without hesitation.
Each person had a bag of sand and soil, and the Tang army had a total of 400,000 people. At first, Yelu Feng had not discovered the truth. He knew that in the end, when the poured sand was half a high city wall, Yelu Feng suddenly realized and a chill rose in his heart.
Finally in the evening, Duan Mingyu came to Yanjing City under the guards of his personal soldiers. The walls of Yanjing City were still tall, but the giant tiger in the sand outside the city wall was about to cover the wall and could climb up directly from the sand. The cavalry could jump to the top of the city with just a little lifting of the horse's hooves. Duan Mingyu was surprised to hug a thin and beautiful soldier beside him and kissed him, "Xiao Niang, I love you so much," the personal soldiers' cheeks suddenly appeared with a faint blush.
The next day, Youzhou City was broken, and the guard general Yelu Feng was defeated and committed suicide. Duan Mingyu stood at the top of Youzhou City. He was excited and shouted, "Finally you have captured Youzhou City. Everyone can go home for the New Year."
The soldiers below raised their swords and guns in their hands together, and couldn't help but shout, "Go home, go home..."
