Chapter 235: Decisive Battle with Youyun (Twenty-six)

Time stagnated in blood and fire.

Wang Yansheng was forced into the fire by the Khitan soldiers. He thought he would die without a doubt, but he forgot about his hard work, but he passed through the fire. Except for the fire wall, his hair and eyebrows were burned by the fire, and his face was not injured too much.

After leaving the sea of ​​fire, Wang Yansheng had completely lost his strength. He lay on the ground motionless. Although the ground was hot and unbearable, he could not care about so much. After a while, Wang Yansheng's physical strength gradually recovered. He raised his head with difficulty and looked around, and then he realized the environment he was in.

Wang Yansheng is located in a small dam. There is a circle of burning trees around the dam. Since there is no combustible thing in the middle of the dam, although the trees on the outer circle are burning and appearing to be a blazing fire from the outside, the dam is extremely safe.

Wang Yansheng sat for a while before he stood up with a knife. He saw a well on the left side of the dam, as if he had tasted the sweetness of the well water. Wang Yansheng felt more and more dry and staggered to the edge of the water and found that the rope was still there. Wang Yansheng picked up a bucket of water from the well, held it in his mouth, drank half a bucket, and then leaned against the well, took out the dry food and chewed it. After eating and drinking, Wang Yansheng leaned against the cool wellhead, listening to the sound of tearing and killing not far away, he suddenly felt like he was a human being again.

Due to excessive bleeding, Wang Yansheng's mind became heavier and heavier, and he was a little drowsy. During the storm, a gust of wind suddenly came. Out of the instinct of a soldier, just as the wind was facing him, out of the instinct of a soldier, the instinct of a soldier, and the dizzy Wang Yansheng also felt danger and quickly avoided the left.

A kitchen knife slashed hard on the well wall.

Wang Yansheng's Mo Dao was always with him. While dodging, Mo Dao slashed at the visitor. A piece of blood light, the visitor's waist was slashed by Mo Dao.

Wang Yansheng didn't wait for the person to fall down. He stabbed the Mo knife hard, and the sharp blade of the Mo knife pierced the person's body. Wang Yansheng stood up and realized that the person to come was actually a woman, with a big hole in her softness and waist. Blood flowed down the hole. The woman fell to the ground and groaned in pain, but became weaker and weaker.

An elderly woman rushed out of the room with a crutch holding a crutch. She was too old and was a little unsteady in walking, but she held the crutch and wanted to beat Wang Yansheng.

Wang Yansheng kicked the old woman down.

The old woman and the middle-aged woman lay on the ground, venting more and inhaling less, and they could no longer escape death.

Only then did Wang Yansheng realize that there was a separate small house that was not burned by the fire. It seemed that both of them came out of this house. Wang Yansheng came to the door with a modao, kicked open the small door and rushed into the room.

A trembling young woman squatted at the corner of the house. Although the woman's clothes were messy and dirty, the texture was excellent. I think the owner of this house was also a wealthy family. She was like a prey falling into a trap. She looked at the vicious Wang Yansheng alone and helplessly.

Wang Yansheng stared at the little woman with his eyes. The little woman's face was covered with dust, but her white and delicate skin could be seen from her collar. Looking at the woman in terror, a nameless fire rose from Wang Yansheng's lower abdomen. He laughed twice, walked out of the door, and soon carried a bucket of water into the house.

Wang Yansheng put Mo Dao aside, grabbed the woman's collar, pressed her face in the bucket, lifted it up, tore off a piece of the woman's clothing, and helped the woman wipe her face. After washing the dust, the woman revealed her true face.

"What a pretty little lady." Wang Yansheng admired his prey for a while, and he was already in a state of desire. At this time, the woman suddenly recovered from the shock and wanted to run out of the house. Wang Yansheng picked up the woman in the waist, threw it on the ground, stepped on the woman with his feet, and threatened: "I dare to run again, and I will kill you with one knife."

The little woman was originally a Han native from Youzhou. She understood Wang Yansheng's words. Faced with this demon who killed people without blinking, she had already lost the courage to resist. She could only cry with her eyes closed. Wang Yansheng took off the woman's clothes cleanly and neatly. The woman's skin was as delicate as porcelain, and it had developed very well, just like two mature peaches. Wang Yansheng's eyes were straight and his mouth was grinning, "It's so fucking white, even whiter than the lady in Daliang City." (In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the daughters in the brothels were called Miss, and most women in good families were called Lady.)

Wang Yansheng was a fight in the army, just to make a happy ending. He spread the woman's legs hard and then used his best to whip the sturtle back and forth. The little woman was an unemployed girl, and she couldn't resist a strong man like Wang Yansheng. When Wang Yansheng screamed, she fainted.

After this violent movement, all of Wang Yansheng's wounds burst and blood flowed. When Wang Yansheng got up from the woman, he felt the wound hurt to the bone. Wang Yansheng carried the Mo Dao and walked out of the small dam with satisfaction. At this time, the fire wall he had crossed had burned out, and only a few flames were burning.

Wang Yansheng stood by the fire wall and peered out. Groups of Zhou troops rushed towards the center of the city. They were the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Right Chamber. After watching for a moment, a general appeared in front of him. It was Murong Yanzhao, the commander of the Iron Cavalry Right Chamber. Wang Yansheng was overjoyed and jumped out and shouted: "General, I am Wang Yansheng."

Murong Yanzhao saw a bloody man suddenly emerge from the ashes. After a closer look, he found that the person coming was indeed Wang Yansheng, the deputy commander of the Iron Cavalry Army's right wing.

Murong Yanzhao said in a singular voice: "Wang Yansheng, where are your men?" Wang Yansheng knew that he had brought thousands of people into the city and suffered heavy casualties and was in a melee, so he said: "General." After saying these two words, Wang Yansheng fell to the ground.

Wang Yansheng has always been known for his bravery in the imperial guards. He was usually arrogant and difficult to train. He contradicted Murong Yanzhao many times. This time he first entered the city, which was considered a great contribution. Murong Yanzhao was determined to kill him, so he did not mention his merits, but instead criticized his faults. Murong Yanzhao did not expect that Wang Yansheng fainted before he finished speaking, so he had to order a team of soldiers to send Wang Yansheng out of the city.

Zhang Lingduo, the deputy commander of the left wing of the Iron Cavalry Army, led three thousand soldiers to attack the East City Gate. The Khitan soldiers guarding the East City Gate fought hard and were all cut and killed. After Zhang Lingduo controlled the East City Gate, the Khitan soldiers on the city wall saw that the situation was wrong and all retreated from the city wall to the north gate.

The cavalry of Yuan Yan's troops were eyeing the Dongcheng Gate and saw thick smoke rolling in the city. Knowing that the war was going on, when the city gate opened, the cavalry of Yuan Yan's troops rushed in. The cavalry of Yuan Yan's troops were originally infantry. After winning the battle at Gubeikou, they seized a large number of horses and turned from infantry to cavalry. They were very morale. After entering the city from the East Gate, they galloped across Youzhou Street and chopped everyone. Soon, the Dongcheng District was full of cavalry of Yuan Yan's troops.

When Zhang Lingduo led the remaining more than a thousand infantry troops to the entrance of the broken city wall in the south, he stood guard at the broken entrance and shot against the Khitan soldiers guarding the other side of the broken entrance.

Under the attacks of the crossbows and Zhang Lingduo's troops outside the city, the Khitan soldiers on the other side gradually became discontinued. Seeing that they could not stop the Zhou army from entering the city, they retreated to the north gate.

In the afternoon of the fierce battle, only the North City was in the hands of the Khitan army, the South City, the East City, and the West City had all fallen into the hands of the Great Zhou imperial guards. The Khitan army used stones, logs, soil and other debris to seal several streets entering the North City. Many Khitan soldiers climbed up their houses and attacked the Zhou army with bows and arrows on the roofs. The Zhou army attacked the North City several times, but were all repelled by the Khitan army. From the morning, the two sides fought to the death. After several hours, the two armies suffered heavy casualties and lost their spirits, and they confronted each other through the Bluestone Street.

The situation on the city wall is similar to that under the city. Except for the north city wall, all the city walls fell into the hands of the Zhou army. The Zhou army on the city wall kept pressing towards the Khitan soldiers from both east and west. The Khitan soldiers who had been forced into a dead end were defended on the north city wall under the leadership of Xiao Limu, and the corpses were constantly piled up, becoming the best obstacle to blocking the Zhou army's attack.

In addition to the troops confronting the Khitan Army, the other soldiers began to rest, drink water, and eat, and some soldiers also began to rob.

Hou Dayong entered the city with the large army. There was a Guangji Buddhist Temple in the center of Youzhou City. It covers an area that was positively wide, and the command center of the camp to the north was located in Guangji Temple.

Although Hou Dayong had enough knowledge of the cruelty of street fighting, he was still shocked after learning that Ji Qingyang died in battle. After entering the city, the corpses in the city were even more shocking. Hou Dayong came to the Great Zhou Dynasty and went through countless cruel battles. Although the corpses were shocking, they were not overly uncomfortable.

It was the first time that Liu Jiangjie saw such a cruel scene in the personal guard. Her stomach was rumbling all the way, but in full view of everyone, she had to endure it and entered Guangji Temple. Liu Jiangjie found a corner and vomited everything in her stomach. Just after vomiting, Liu Jiangjie heard a sound of vomiting, and saw more than a dozen soldiers lying on the ground and vomiting non-stop.

In the lobby, the three commanders in the camp in the north were all worried.

There was still blood on Zhao Kuangyin's armor. He sat in the commander's tent and said nothing. In the battle of siege, the Iron Cavalry suffered heavy losses, which exceeded Zhao Kuangyin's expectations. The Iron Cavalry's 16,000 infantry, and the area was only 5,000. If the soldiers who were dispersed and did not return to the team were probably more than 6,000. In addition, Wang Yansheng, the confidant general of the Iron Cavalry, was seriously injured, Zhang Lingduo was shot in one eye, and Ji Qingyang, the general of the Left Fang Army, died in battle. After this battle, the Iron Cavalry's strength will definitely be greatly damaged.

The strength of the other armies was damaged, but it was not severely weakened like the Iron Cavalry Army. The navy was mainly responsible for logistics and guarding the two ferries, and its strength was still strong. Han Tong's troops won a great victory in Gubeikou. Although there were losses, they were less than a quarter of the entire army. Han Lingkun's troops were led by Cao Han to guard the central army, and there was almost no loss. Xiang Xun's soldiers guarding the beam without any loss.

Zhao Kuangyin was unhappy, but the commander of the northern camp, Hou Dayong, had no problem with the overall arrangement. There would always be an army that would serve as a vanguard and suffer the heaviest losses. The Iron Cavalry served as the vanguard army many times and has always been the dominant general of the imperial guards. This time, he was the vanguard of the siege.

Zhao Kuangyin could only bite his teeth and swallow it with blood.

Wei Renpu's calligraphy was quite famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He wrote the book of persuasion to surrender himself, put down his pen, and blew it, but the ink was still dry, and said, "The book of persuasion to surrender has been written." Wei Renpu had originally disapproved of fire attack. Seeing the corpse burned into charcoal in the city, Wei Renpu felt a faint anger, but his face was not revealed at all.

Hou Dayong knew that Youzhou City had become a thing in his pocket, and his attention had shifted from the war to Waqiao Pass. While reading the letter of persuasion to surrender, he was thinking about his thoughts: Chai Rong had been in a coma for two days, and he didn't know if he woke up now?

While the three of them were sitting in a daze, Cao Han walked into the hall and said to Hou Dayong: "Previous Master Hou, what are the instructions?

"General Cao, you are responsible for the order in the city." When attacking Cangzhou, Cao Han was the commander-in-chief of the overall situation. After capturing Cangzhou City and beheading the two brothers Liu Cunxiao, he posted a notice and sent troops to patrol. He quickly said that the social order in Cangzhou was stabilized. Therefore, Hou Dayong handed over the responsibility for stabilizing the order in Youzhou to Cao Han.

"The residents of Youzhou City are no more than those of Shouzhou and Chuzhou. They have been trapped in the Khitan for more than 20 years old. Young people under the age of 20 have not been educated by the Central Plains. General Cao, you must not only use soft skills such as posting notices, but also use hard skills such as patrol and curfew. If someone takes advantage of the situation, they will be executed and must not be ruthless."

"Yes, let's do it now." Although Cao Han once supported Hou Dayong, Hou Dayong has become the prime minister and his power is growing. He dare not be negligent at all. He will make arrangements immediately after receiving the order.

In the North City, the atmosphere was completely different from other areas. Thirty thousand Khitan soldiers retreated into the North City and only more than 10,000 wounded soldiers were killed. The rest of the soldiers were trapped in the battlefield. The air was not only filled with the smell of blood, but also felt despair.

"It's a dream to make us surrender." Xiao Siwen walked around the left-behind. He had always been famous among the Khitan nobles for his irreconcilable appearance. However, after a fierce battle, Xiao Siwen was still well-dressed, and the blood on the iron armor was carefully examined and tested.

Princess Yelu Qing's eyes have always followed her husband's figure. Since the Great Zhou Dynasty began to attack Youzhou City, Xiao Siwen has become a different person. She swept away the decadence of the past, her eyes have become sharper, and her walking posture is also a bit like a dragon and tiger walking. Since receiving the Zhou army's letter of persuasion, Yelu Qing has been very worried that this always cowardly husband would surrender to the Zhou army. She has already instructed her Iron Blood Guard that as long as Xiao Siwen wants to surrender, she will take down Xiao Siwen and take over the defense of the North City.

"If the Zhou army really massacred the city, I'm afraid it will be bloody." Yelu Qing was originally worried that Xiao Siwen would surrender, but now Xiao Siwen is tough, Yelu Qing is also worried that Zhou army will really set fire in the city.

Yelu Qing's tone suddenly became gentle, which made Xiao Siwen a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Yelu Qing and said, "Don't worry, wife, there are mostly Han people in Youzhou City, and these Han people are locals, and most of their relatives are outside the city. If the Zhou army really dares to massacre the city, these Zhou soldiers will probably not have a peaceful day." Xiao Siwen usually calls Yelu Qing "princess", and at this time, he unknowingly uses the title of wife.

Yelu Qingxiang couldn't look down on Xiao Siwen. At this time, she saw that her husband was quite masculine, and she felt a little happy, but when she thought of the difficulties she was facing, she frowned again.
