1236 The danger is on the verge of death

Yuyang County, as the capital of Jizhou, is also a densely populated city under the rule of Lu Long's army. Now it is naturally equivalent to a fat sheep in the eyes of the various Khitan troops. He wishes to break through the city gate as soon as possible, continue to burn, kill and loot, and wash away the city walls in a bloody way.

Although the Khitan did not know how to attack the city, at least it accumulated a certain amount of experience through the war to destroy the Bohai Kingdom. The Han generals taught the methods, which also allowed the Khitan generals to learn some methods of how to attack the city and capture the villages.

At this moment, below the city gate, a large group of soldiers raised their shields and tilted against the corner of the wall and set up several long ladders. Around the ladder, there were also a group of soldiers mainly tribal troops. Most of them were incomplete armor and squeezed into a ball. Each of them looked pale, and they were clearly a little frightened and frightened between their eyebrows. It seemed that they were all driven to come to the city.

After all, cannon fodder forced to the city and the tribal soldiers who rushed to the city had almost lost their lives in the previous offensive... Below the Yuyang City Wall, corpses were covered with stones, and a cluster of arrows was inserted on the trench behind, and there were also piles of dead bodies under the bridge, with corpses of different shapes stacked in one place.

It was too late to transfer large equipment, and digging the ground and siege the city was too time-consuming and labor-intensive. The Khitan generals who attacked Yuyang County simply and roughly ordered Han craftsmen to create some long ladders. Outside the trench were rows of crossbowmen, who were desperately shooting archery rain at the top of the city to cover it, mainly using the method of ants to attack the city, trying to seize the city pass.

However, using this kind of tactic is to fill in the lives of people... The Khitan Palace Army is destined to be superior, and the tribal army and Han army are destined to fight for their lives first. The arrows above are like rain, and there are rolling wood and stones. The gray bottle of gold juice greets the head and faces, which immediately arouses a burst of shrill screams.

Even if he had armor on his body, he would still be burnt when poured with boiling oil and feces. A large number of soldiers ran away, but were overwhelmed by the stones that fell in the air. In just a short while, the city was covered with tragic corpses.

So when the next group of soldiers pounced on the wall, they saw that there were corpses of their accomplices around them, and there was a disgusting smell in the air... They were frightened, but they had to climb the long ladder and rushed up the top.

However, the Wei soldiers who were guarding Yuyang City were not easy to get through. The Khitan army outside the city was galloping and shooting. The clusters of arrows turned into countless cold lights and flew across the air. From time to time, people were shot down. One of the commanders of the tooth army shouted at the top of their lungs to urge their soldiers to defend against the enemy. An arrow shot came, but it immediately penetrated into his throat... The commander staggered, and fell straight down from under the towering city wall.

Covered by bows and arrows, many tribal soldiers had already climbed up and climbed over the marching walls. Seeing this, the defenders immediately rushed over with red eyes... The attacking and defense began to launch fierce hand-to-hand combat again, with weapons fighting each other, sparks splashing everywhere, and people fell down. Others were just rushing up with red eyes, and blood was constantly shooting in the chaotic battle group!

In Yuyang City, some ordinary people were rushing and running around, while others hugged each other. There were more civil and military soldiers and military troops to defend the city. They were also very clear that once the Khitan army broke through the city wall, their families and relatives would suffer a tragic disaster. Even if they could survive, they would still be ravaged by foreign races... Any man with blood, regardless of the soldiers and civilians, naturally had to fight their lives and fight bloodily with the enemies who invaded their homes until the last moment.

But seeing more and more Khitan generals climbing up, although the Wei Dynasty soldiers and civilians who were guarding the city gate were still resisting, many people had a look of despair... We have tried our best, but we have been holding on until now, I am afraid we won't be able to hold on for long... Is it still difficult to stop the Khitan Tartars' offensive? Is it pity that we will be killed with our wife and children...

On the other hand, the Khitan soldiers outside the city were all red in their eyes. The soldiers behind were excitedly climbing onto the war horses according to the orders of their generals and officers. They were ready to charge immediately when the city gates were wide open. As for the tribal soldiers who were driven to attack the city with ants, they naturally hoped to get a generous reward. They came forward like wild beasts, and were ordered by the Khitans to fill in the resentment they were ordered to attack the Han soldiers and civilians in the city!

However, there were many Han soldiers serving the Khitans in the south gate of Yuyang City, and many people had already killed Chengguan. Zhang Yanze, who was supervising the battle outside the city, would probably be able to seize Chengguan in less than a long time, and then lead his troops into the city. His vicious face was both ferocious and excited, and he was ready to rush over at any time, slaughter all the defenders of Yuyang City, and then carry out a tragic killing!

After all, Zhang Yanze was the lackey of the Khitan in the official history. In the war to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty, he was the first to enter the capital under the banner of "principle of red heart". He immediately allowed his soldiers to burn, kill, loot, capture civilians, and behead their heads and behead them for fun. He even entered the palace to force the concubines of the last emperor Shi Chonggui, which made people angry.

Even after Zhang Yanze's master Yelu Deguang arrived in the capital, he was furious when he heard Zhang Yanze's beastly behavior and imprisoned him, asking the Han officials and people in the city, "Would Yanze be punished?"... In the end, Zhang Yanze was escorted to the Taipei City, cut off his arm and locked it out, and then beheaded. The people in the city fought to break his brain, take his bone marrow, and eat his meat." This also shows that his crime was so great that the Han people in the Central Plains hated him deeply.

Zhang Yanze was determined to be a lackey of the Khitan, but the Khitan was still considering trying to control the Han people through means of kindness and power... Even Yelu Deguang could not bear his behavior, and sentenced him to death, which could be regarded as an explanation for the people of the Central Plains. So now, since Zhang Yanze is still working hard for the Khitan to invade south, he is undoubtedly the most brutal butcher for the Han soldiers and civilians.

However, Zhang Yanze was staring at the other side of Chengguan, but suddenly a Han army school urged the horse to gallop to him and immediately reported:

"The commander of the capital, a whistle cavalry came to report the news! Xia Luqi, the general of the left guard of the Wei Dynasty, has also entered the boundary of Jizhou! The far side of the west, the sub-substation found the enemy's traces and retreated, so he immediately sent a quick horse to report the military information. Now, the Wei army under Xia Luqi's troops is only more than thirty miles away from Yuyang City!"

What!? The Wei Dynasty army led by Xia Luqi has arrived at the boundary of Jibei? This is a few days ahead of schedule as expected!

Zhang Yanze was shocked when he heard this, and his face immediately sank... Taking advantage of the situation of Lu Long's army Gao Xingzhou, he had to defend the capital, so he could take the opportunity to attack other cities and counties under his command one after another. However, another famous general of the Wei Dynasty, Xia Luqi, had already arrived, but it was not so easy to deal with...

Originally, according to the Khitan military system, whenever they go out, the troops of the army were divided into three parts: Guards, vanguards and long-distance siege horses. The long-distance siege troops chose dozens of to tens of thousands of fierce men to go deep into the enemy area and explore the enemy's virtuality and reality to ensure that the army can advance smoothly.

Therefore, the use of Khitan is different from the small-scale scout cavalry of the Central Plains army. The long-distance military brigades used for patrol and exploration often have a larger number of people, and they even act as the main force. Once the enemy has a large army approached, the far-distance military brigades will find the enemy's situation and immediately pass on the military information to nearby colleagues, so it is not so easy to be eaten by the enemy in one bite. Otherwise, Shaluqi is likely to suddenly attack and catch the Khitan military brigades besieging Yuyang City off guard.

But even if we learned in advance that Xia Luqi rushed to Yuyang to help us, our army was prepared... Zhang Yanze couldn't help but pick up Yahuazi, secretly thinking that the guy had a very famous name and that it would be far more difficult to deal with the army led by him than the defenders who broke through the Yuyang city... Xia Luqi was about to kill here soon, so whether to fight this battle or not?
