Abulai had a plan in mind: his group of soldiers were the elite of the Liao army. They all had outstanding martial arts skills and sophisticated weapons. Even though the number of enemies in front of them was several times greater, they should still be able to fight.
Taking advantage of the fierce fighting on both sides of him, he took a detour to the Bazhou Army's camp. Yelv Dezhong arrived alive, and he said, "They were killed and dispersed. I tried to protect the empress from breaking out of the siege." Yelv Dezhong actually died. , I "have admired the reputation of my uncle for a long time, and came here with my whole family to seek refuge." Isn't it wonderful to have both sides?
Unexpectedly, the cavalry on the opposite side was even more elite than these soldiers!
More than ten feet apart, more than a hundred sharp arrows flew out first, and they were all shot at the front door of the Liao army. In an instant, more than ten of them were shot down. Then the front row raised their spears and spears, like a forest of collisions. As soon as they clashed, another Poke more than ten dismounts.
There was also a general who used a broadsword in his hand, just like a eagle attacking a small swallow, and like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing melons and vegetables.
Abulai was frightened and beat the horse more and more anxiously. Suddenly he heard the sound of hoofbeats behind him. He turned around and saw that Yelv was seriously injured. The golden helmet was missing from his head. His double sword became a single sword. His hair was disheveled and his face was full of panic.
Abulai's mind was spinning, and he shouted hurriedly: "The king will follow the young general, and he will fight to the death for the king."
Yelu De said with a heavy expression: "Ah Bu Lai, you are indeed my favorite general! This gecko's tail-breaking method is excellent! If you escape with your life, I will use you heavily!"
What do you think? It turns out that Yelu had to fight against Zhou Tong in a major battle. At first, he was still going back and forth at twenty rounds, but firstly, he was old, and secondly, he had been exhausted recently. After twenty rounds, his strength declined, and he barely fought a few more rounds. The golden helmet was swept away by his halberd.
Seeing the danger, fortunately Abulai mobilized his soldiers to charge in time. The two sides were strangled in one place. Yelu Dezhong flew out a knife and took the opportunity to escape into the crowd, only to see Abulai leading his woman into the woods. , unable to change his mind for a moment, he said that he was opening the way for him and hurriedly followed him.
The forest here is vast, the visibility is not good, and it is a scuffle. Who can notice that two or three people are missing?
Wen Da and Zhou Tong shouted for a fierce battle. The Liao soldiers were leaderless and few in number. Most of them were killed in a short time. The remaining twenty or thirty soldiers lost their courage and all lost their weapons. They jumped off their horses and knelt down to beg for mercy. Zhou Tong could not find the king of Liao. He was so furious that he picked up the golden helmet to make up for it.
Wen Da separated the prisoners for interrogation and learned the location of the Bazhou military camp. He discussed with Zhou Tong and said, "Needless to say, Yelu must have fled here when he was seriously injured. We will rush to ambush nearby and fight out when he attacks the city." , not only this imperial brother, but also his uncle, took one shot!"
Zhou Tong applauded repeatedly, killed the prisoners immediately, and went to Bazhou Army.
At the same time, Bazhou's 18,000-strong army marched out of camp and marched toward Jizhou.
The hero guarding the south gate was the "Twin-tailed Scorpion" Jie Bao. Seeing that the Liao soldiers were numerous and powerful, he hurriedly sent people to report to Li Jun.
When Li Jun was found, he and Duan Sanniang had just led people into Jizhou Prison, killed dozens of jailers, and released the prisoners.
When he heard that the Liao soldiers were coming to fight, Li Jun's face did not change. He smiled and said to the person in front of him: "Brother, did you hear that? There are no less than 20,000 Liao soldiers. I only have 300 soldiers and horses guarding the south city. If we transfer brothers from other city gates, what will happen?" I'm afraid that the Liao soldiers will move the tiger away from the mountain. In this situation, brother, can you teach me?"
The man was about thirty years old, with the eyes of an eagle, the jaw of a swallow, the arms of an ape and the waist of a wolf. Although he was wearing tattered prison clothes, he could not hide his strong character. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "My dear brother, he attacked the big city with more than a thousand people. He was extremely daring and had a lot of heart in his heart." Is there no strategy? I don’t have to do anything for you. Since we have been rescued by you, we will definitely fight to the death. If you use me to fight, my brother’s banner will point you to death, and I will have no regrets!”
Seeing his generous response, Li Jun said happily: "Quickly accept it! You are worthy of being the 'Flying Eagle'! With my brother helping me, I have nothing to worry about."
It turned out that this person was none other than Lao Cao's friend and business partner, the owner of Lijiazhuang in Dulonggang, Li Yingli, a high official.
When Li Jun released the prisoner just now, he saw that he was very impressive and took the initiative to get acquainted with him. When he knew his name, he turned out to be one of his own.
When Lao Cao went to Zhujiazhuang, he met Li Ying and gave many of the Zhu family's properties to each other. Li Ying also returned a large amount of money to help Lao Cao start his troubles. Later, they often talked to each other and had many business contacts. , which can be regarded as a strong local support for Lao Cao.
The reason why we fell in Jizhou this time was to buy horses for Liangshan. I personally brought a steward, Du Xing, to trade with the Liao people. Unexpectedly, Song and Liao suddenly turned against each other. They were afraid that they, the merchants from the south, would inform the news, so they took away all the horses. Money and goods are in prison.
The two spent some time in jail, feeling uneasy. Du Xing came up with a plan to ask Yang Xiong for help.
He and Yang Xiong were old acquaintances. His life had been saved by Yang Xiong back then, so he asked the jailer to help deliver the letter. Unexpectedly, the news of Yang Xiong's rebellion had already spread back. When the Shangguan heard that the two were Yang Xiong's friends, he immediately accused them of being spies and beat them. On death row.
At this moment, Du Xing was standing behind Li Ying. He was a tall man with an ugly and ferocious appearance. He also had a nickname in the world, called "Ghostface".
Despite his ugly appearance, he was also handsome and handsome. According to the standards of Mr. Bao San, who was "no, no, no" at that time, he could be called handsome and ugly. Li Ying valued him very much. In name he was a housekeeper, but in reality he treated him as a brother.
Therefore, Du Xing thought about Li Ying in everything. When he heard that he agreed to help others fight, he quickly interjected: "'Hun Jianglong', my employer and I are grateful for the rescue, and it is natural to do our part - but it's okay for me, my little brother." My master has a weapon he is accustomed to using, and if he can find it, he can fight to the fullest."
Li Jun smiled and said: "Brother Du, don't worry, I will send people to his government offices and warehouses to search."
After asking about the appearance of Li Ying's weapon, he sent his men to look for it and said to the other hundreds of prisoners: "You are all oppressed by the Liao Kingdom and have committed serious crimes. Now that the Liao soldiers are coming to attack the city, if they can defeat the city , there will be no end for you and others, why don't you defend the city together with me? I, surnamed Li, will make a big oath to repel the Liao soldiers.
Most of these hundreds of people are bandits from the Liao Kingdom——
Before the Liao soldiers were dispatched, they were afraid that the rear would be empty and the bandits would cause trouble, so they conducted a sweep in advance.
After hearing what Li Jun said, they knew that it was difficult for them to make the decision, so they all responded and were willing to follow him to fight.
Duan Sanniang said to herself: These people are all criminals. If they don't use some means, how can they really do anything? Li Jun made a red face, and my mother came to make a white face, so that they would be convinced.
Then the tiger raised his face and shouted: "Look at me!"
When everyone saw it, she held the mace in both hands, and with a "Hey" sound, she hit a big tree in the courtyard hard.
The tree was as thick as an adult's waist. She hit it with all her strength, causing sawdust to fly, and it broke instantly with a crack.
The upper half of the tree trunk, carrying a crown, suddenly fell to the ground, stirring up dust for a long time. When all the prisoners saw her strange power, they all exclaimed.
Duan Sanniang glanced at everyone and said in a fierce voice: "I keep what I said in mind. If you are willing to kill Liao Gou with all your heart, you are all my dear brothers. If you dare to shrink back in fear of death and escape from the battle, hehe, in my eyes I recognize him here, but not the stick in my hand!"
Li Jun saw that Duan Sanniang acted in a sophisticated manner and secretly praised her: She was indeed a senior who had rebelled against Chongzhou Chongfu, and she was indeed thoughtful in her actions.
She immediately said with a smile: "Sister Sanniang, you don't need to beat the hammer to beat the drum. I think these heroes are also sworn in with the Liao dogs. If we beat the Liao dogs, we will not only get revenge, but also be promoted and make a fortune. How can they?" Not trying your best?"
The two of them, a private business leader in the Xunyang River, and the Huaixi Demon from the anti-thief team, were singing in harmony at this moment. As expected, all the prisoners returned home and shouted: "Now that the Liao army is going to the Song Dynasty, it is we and other heroes who When it comes to using force, my brother and eldest sister are so capable that we will follow the leader wholeheartedly."
Li Jun said "Okay" and ordered them to wear the iron armor. He also took out the weapons dragged by the cart and let them choose the ones they could use.
When they arrived at the south gate, the navy troops under their command rode on fast horses and brought Li Ying's armor and weapons, but they were hidden in the police room by everyone in the yamen.
Li Ying was overjoyed and immediately put on his clothes, wearing a Zhuying phoenix-winged helmet, a gold chainmail armor, a belt on the back and crotch, five flying knives inserted diagonally, and a steel gun. Li Jun and Duan Sanniang looked at it. Word of mouth applause.
The sound of killings on the city wall was already loud. Everyone hurriedly climbed up the wall. They saw Jian Bao running back and forth, commanding three hundred naval troops, knocking down rolling logs and rocks. There were dozens of people who knew how to shoot, and they all drew their bows and shot randomly. .
Pity this group of Bazhou soldiers. Although they are large in number, they are extremely short of siege equipment. There are more than ten ladders in total, and they cannot fight off the "ant attack".
Ye Qing, the minister who directed the siege, had no choice but to gather one or two thousand archers and shoot arrows at the city. However, the defenders on the city were all wearing iron armor, so the damage was limited after all.
Originally, if this consumption continued, the Liao soldiers could take turns to go into battle. When Jie Bao's troops were exhausted and used up rolling logs and stones, they could break the city. However, Li Jun came with hundreds of fresh troops and the situation was stabilized.
Although these hundreds of prisoners are not elites, they are far superior to ordinary people. If they are allowed to fight in the field, they may collapse at the first touch, and they may be used to defend the city, and the Liao army will immediately suffer.
Li Jun watched it for a while and sneered: "These guys are bullying me because I don't have enough people. I guess I don't dare to go out of the city. The formation is so sloppy. Haha, after he finishes this round of attacks, I will take the opportunity to rush out and give him a hard blow." If luck comes and kills his general in one fell swoop, wouldn’t it mean that he can defeat 20,000 Liao soldiers with a few hundred men?”
After saying that, he sent people down to the city to collect war horses, and then gathered all the brothers who could ride horses into battle.
Duan Sanniang complained: "Ah, I had already said that we were going to fight on horseback. Why should I keep my long stick in the Chinese army? Now this short stick is inconvenient to fight on horseback. Let me find a big sword to fight with it." .”
Li Ying heard this and laughed and said: "Miss Duan, let Li stay here, why bother to fight in the battle? You followed Brother Li to plunder the battle for me on the city. Today I want the Liao people to recognize my brand name of 'Putiandiao'" !”
Duan Sanniang said with displeasure: "Does Mr. Li look down on me, a female class member? I want to compete with you to see who can kill more people and be more powerful."
After saying that, she turned around to look for weapons. She was very strong and wanted to use a big sword. Suddenly she remembered that Liang Hongyu was using a big sword, so she changed her mind and looked for an iron rod weighing more than thirty kilograms.
There were many war horses in the Liao Kingdom, and they collected more than a hundred in a short time. Duan Sanniang first picked a tall and strong one to ride on. Li Ying was inspired by her and picked a white horse to ride on. Xiao Wei Chi and Sun Xin When he heard that he was going to go out to fight in the city, he quickly left the food distribution and finishing business to his wife. He rode a black horse and came with a spear and an iron whip. Du Xing got Li Ying to train his horse riding skills for several years, and also got a gun. He goes to war.
Originally, Li Jun and Xie Bao were also going to fight, but Duan Sanniang held them down one by one: "Brother Li Jun is the main general, so there is no need to go out lightly. Brother Xie Bao is the guard of the south gate, so naturally he stays to guard the gate."
The two of them knew in their hearts that Duan Sanniang deliberately spoke like this because they were not good at horse fighting, and they couldn't help being secretly moved: Although this girl looks like a man, she is still a girl after all, and she knows how to cherish people.
At this time, more than an hour had passed. The Liao soldiers attacking the city outside the city had already rotated in two groups. Li Jun counted the time. When he was rotating here, he gave an order and the city gate suddenly opened. "Pounce on the eagle!" Li Ying took the lead and led more than a hundred people out like a storm.
More than a thousand Liao soldiers attacking the city were all panting from exhaustion. They were holding on to Pao Ze who was wounded by an arrow and were walking back. The Liao soldiers who came to attack from behind had not yet arrived. According to the words of Wu Xingli, it was " This is the critical moment when the old strength has been exhausted and the new strength has not yet been born.
Li Ying could see it clearly and secretly admired him: What a "dragon", no wonder "Wu Mengde" reused him so much. When I heard him talk before, this was the first time he had experienced such a battle, but he could grasp the timing of the attack so accurately. If it hadn't been for accidental collision, he would have been a natural-born general!
This thought flashed across his mind, and he was already behind the Liao soldiers.
He was a dignified and wealthy official, and had been imprisoned for many days like a dog from the Liao people. He had already had an evil spirit, and now he took advantage of the situation and unleashed it. He used a long spear to kill more than ten Liao soldiers in an instant.
Duan Sanniang didn't expect Li Ying to be so proficient in martial arts, and was secretly surprised: Oh, I underestimated him. I took the initiative to fight with him. If I lose, what's the point of my face?
At that moment, she went crazy, holding an iron rod in one hand and smashing and sweeping. This stick was nearly half lighter than the mace she was used to. When it danced, it was so fast that it was almost invisible, and the Liao soldiers were flying around like wormwood.
This group of Liao soldiers originally had less than half injured, and the rest were exhausted. Seeing the enemy's ferocity, they all shouted and tried their best to escape to the main formation, but a new group also rushed forward. After they dispersed, Li Ying and others just rushed forward and defeated the second team in one encounter.
Ye Qing, the minister, was shocked when he saw it. He quickly led a hundred or so horse troops around him and charged at him diagonally, preventing him from having the chance to drive the defeated soldiers into the formation.
In a few breaths, the two groups of horse soldiers collided with each other, and they were instantly overturned, trampling countless infantrymen to death.
When Ye Qing saw Duan Sanniang at a glance, he waved his iron rod like a lantern, believing that this was the enemy's leader. He shouted and killed the general, and used a fifty kilogram iron caltrop bone to block Duan Sanniang's fight.
His weapon is made entirely of iron, with an eight-foot-long handle. The top is a hammer the size of a cantaloupe, and is densely covered with spikes. It is similar to a mace. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, Samoko, the barbarian king of Wuxi, was good at using this weapon.
Duan Sanniang felt that the stick in her hand was light, but when she saw his weapon, she was immediately tempted and screamed: "My dear, how can your little hands grasp this big mallet? You should just show me off."
When Ye Qing heard this, he was furious and cursed: "Damn you thief, how dare you look down on me with such an ugly appearance!" He wanted to smash the opponent's head with a bone. The weapon unfolded, rinsed, hung, smashed, Gai, Lei, Yun, Chong, each move is fierce and evil.
Duan Sanniang was not very good with weapons, so after fighting with him for a few times, she felt helpless and screamed in anger. Sun Xin hurriedly stepped forward to attack, but the Liao general tried his best to kill him, breaking the gun barrel on the spot. If Duan Sanniang hadn't saved him quickly, it would have almost been broken.
Seeing the general's success, Li Ying jumped on his horse, danced with his gun, and shouted, "Miss Duan, get out of the way, I'll deal with this guy!"
How could Duan Sanniang be willing to give in? He shouted: "I'm afraid your thin arms and legs won't be able to withstand a blow from this guy."
Li Ying's body was lean and slender, and he was indeed not a tall and strong man. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "You don't want to give in, but you still ask him to use my methods!"
As he was talking, he picked up a flying knife and threw it with his hand, but when he saw a flash of white light, Minister Ye Qing howled, looked back and fell off his horse. When Duan Sanniang looked anxiously, she saw a foot-long flying knife stuck in the side of her neck.
Duan Sanniang said angrily: "How can you steal my credit?" Looking at Li Ying, how could he pay attention to her? One horse and one spear, they headed straight towards the Liao army's main formation, set up the commander's flag and killed the general.
Duan Sanniang thought of the bet and shouted loudly. She jumped off the horse and picked up the tribulus bone. Then she got on the horse and knocked over more than ten Liao soldiers in a row. She forced her way out and chased Li Ying towards the opponent: "That coach, please stay." Give it to me!"
When his uncle Kangli Ding'an saw that Minister Ye Qing had died in battle, he was furious: "Where did the rebel come from? He injured two of our generals in succession. If we don't get rid of him early, we will have to do something big in the future!"
This Kangli Ding'an, although inferior in intelligence and scheming, was famous for his courage and bravery. He immediately hooked up the three-pointed knife in victory and shouted: "My sons, follow me to kill people!" He slapped his horse and faced him. Li Ying came out.
There are different religions: the divine eagle has broken wings and the Jizhou City is so full of energy that it will be calmed down? Who can resist the five flying knives? He rushes into the battle alone and screams loudly.
