Chapter 454

In the dark night, one Khitan warrior after another jumped to the top of the city, and the Turkic scimitars, battle axes, and fangs and sticks danced with great vigor.

The Khitans who had been recuperating for a night were all extremely excited. They had already received orders to attack the city, each of them rewarded a sheep, cut off a defender's head, and each of them rewarded a cow. If they were officers at the level of the team, they would have two cows. If they were a lieutenant, they would have three cows. If even the defender's General Eagle Fighter and General Eagle Yanglang could also be killed, then they would have ten cows.

This time they came out of the grassland and had already made a lot of money. But who would think that there were too many cattle and sheep in their own home? The more cattle and sheep the nose, the better. At this time, the Khitans who jumped onto the city, in their eyes, the defenders on the city were no longer one by one, but one after another. Every time they cut one, there was one more cow in their own home.

Everyone had red eyes and rushed forward bravely, shouting and bravely.

On the top of the city, Luo Cheng held his sword and killed several Khitan warriors. Although the Khitans did not know that Luo Cheng was the Ying Yanglang General worth ten cows, the armor on his body was too dazzling. Even in the dark, the bright silver kirin bright light armor that was the same as Chen Kefu wore, which made the Khitans all moved. They had seen Chen Kefu's armor. Who was Chen Kefu, the king of Liaodong. Even if they were the king of Khitans, they had to listen to Chen Kefu. The Sui people in front of him were actually wearing the armor they wanted from Chen Kefu, and no matter what, it must be expensive. Maybe, if you snatch this armor and sell it, it would be worth at least hundreds of cows.

However, no one expected that although Luo Cheng looked like a woman, his sword skills were extremely sharp. In a short while, three or four people who wanted to steal the armor died under his sword. However, Luo Cheng killed quickly, but the more people rushed up.

Under the suppression of the Liaodong army's crossbow and catapult cart, the defenders on the city could no longer stop the Khitans who kept rushing to the city. More and more Khitan soldiers rushed to the city. The Khitans with strong ferocious paths faced the guards who were already exhausted. As soon as the two sides fought, the Sui army gradually became discontinued and retreated to stop.

The Khitan Prince Abaoku carried the Khitan wolf cavalry and leaped onto the top of the city, and killed a Sui army with one knife. In a few steps, the Luo character on the top of the city was cut down and inserted his own Khitan Luo flag with force. In the sky, the Luo character fell down the city, and the Khitan white wolf cavalry floated in the north gate of the city. The Khitan people even burst out with roars, like drinking strong wine, and constantly squeezed towards the defenders on the city like a tide.

Luo Wu, with dozens of soldiers around him, rushed out in a fierce rush, saving Luo Cheng, who was gradually surrounded by the Khitans.

"Major General, the north entrance can no longer be defended. We have to retreat to Jundu Pass. Please order the Major General to retreat quickly!" Luo Wu said loudly.

Luo Cheng was covered in blood. He could no longer remember how many people he had killed. At this time, his eyes were red. He did not expect that he thought that war was just like this and defending the city was so easy. Why did the enemy attack the city in a blink of an eye? His heart was full of unwillingness, and all he thought about was the battles that his father and brother had talked about.

Staring at those red eyes, Luo Cheng was like a tiger, "No, we are not defeated yet, so what if the Khitans attacked the city? We can drive them down the city immediately. Pass on my order and kill these lackeys of Liaodong rebels down the city with me."

Luo Wu grabbed Luo Cheng and advised him, "Major General, our soldiers are already exhausted. Now the Liaodong army has attacked Shangcheng, and their number of troops is far better than us. If we fight, it will be fearless casualties. We and the army are all passers-by and Nankou Pass, and as long as we retreat, we will be fine. As long as we persist until the arrival of the general and reinforcements, we will still be able to deal with these people. But now we fight hard, even if we defeat these charity people now?

Without people, we can't even retreat at that time." The military gate guarding the Luo family had such a special feature. There were three dangerous gates in the forty-mile canyon. One could not be defended. Twenty miles later, and there was another gate. As long as there was one gate in hand, the enemy could not pass through the canyon. This advantage was very huge. Unlike ordinary cities, where the walls on all sides were missing, then there was no way to retreat. The three gates in the military gate canyon were all city walls on both sides of the north and south, and 20% of the left and right cliffs were a place of despair. It was precisely because of this that the court would be assured that Luo Yi would guard this gate with ten thousand soldiers.

Luo Cheng looked at the more and more Khitans on the city with great reluctance, so he nodded in agreement with resentment.

"Retreat!" The messengers ran around the city, conveying Luo Cheng's general order. At this time, more than 1,000 defenders in the city had died or injured. As soon as the defenders retreated, the Khitans behind them pursued them desperately. In desperation, Luo Wu had to leave hundreds more people to cut off the rear.

When he retreated to the military gate twenty miles later, Luo Cheng counted the troops and horses, leaving less than 3,000 troops. In less than half a day, the five thousand troops left to him by his father had already lost 40% of them, and he also lost the nearly north entrance.

Standing at the Jundu Pass, Luo Wu comforted with a low voice, "Don't worry, Major General, the Jundu Pass is more than ten times more dangerous than the Beikou Pass. Tonight, the rebels captured the Beikou, but they were exhausted and would not be able to attack Jundu Pass immediately. As long as we wait another day, the soldiers of the four nearby counties and townsmen will definitely arrive. Once the Jundu Pass is lost, they will be the second person to face the rebels, and they will definitely come to help immediately."

Luo Cheng's eyes were blood-red, his expression was lonely, and his heart was full of self-responsibility.

"How can I gain my father's trust? My father, General, and I left me to stay, but I lost my troops and lost the North Entrance. Now we are less than 3,000 people, but there are more than 10,000 rebels in the North Entrance. If they attack again, how will we defend?" Everyone was worried about the army, the Liaodong army that captured the North Entrance did not immediately attack the Army. They were frightened and waited until dawn, and did not see the rebels coming. The defenders who had been worried all night were shocked and tired, and these were already exhausted. At this time, they felt relieved, and they all fell asleep on the top of the city with swords and weapons in their arms.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!" After a series of rapid alarm bells rang out, and the defenders who had just slept for less than half an hour were awakened one by one. They all hurriedly got up, stood by the battlements and looked into the canyon to the north.

When they saw it, they were all shocked. They saw that the smoke and dust in the canyon was covered with the sky, the flags were like the sea, and the spears were like forests. It was only more than an hour before they retreated from the north entrance to Jundu Pass. But at this moment, the Liaodong rebels, which originally had only about 20,000 people, had turned into such a large army. At first glance, the number of this army was at least nearly 100,000.

Luo Wu and Luo Cheng on the top of the city were all facing each other. Last night, they had only 20,000 people, and they had already captured the north entrance where they defended 5,000 people. At present, the opponent had 100,000 people at once, and although the army they occupied was almost in danger, they only had 3,000 people. This was a thirty-fold difference. How to fight? Luo Cheng turned around and looked at the defenders on the city, all of whom were facing each other, stunned. If they didn't need to fight this battle, they would be timid before they fought.

The army rushed from the canyon without any rush, but the more it was, the more oppressed and powerless the defenders felt. Soon, the Liaodong Army had arrived at the gate of an arrow.

An army of nearly 100,000 people could not fully unfold in this canyon. The mountains and fields were filled with people from the Liaodong Army everywhere.

Chen Kefu rode his purple-loving horse, Sa Zilu, and looked at the majestic pass, one of the nine passes in the world with a smile. In fact, this was not his first time to come to Dudu Pass. In fact, although Chen Kefu was from the southerner, he lived in seclusion in Zhuo County with his old ministers since he was a child. Later, when he grew up, he and his servants went out of Dudu Pass to the frontier several times and went to the grassland to buy horses. He passed through this pass several times.

Since he joined the army, although Hua returned to the Central Plains once, he has never returned to Hebei again. This time he stepped into the forty-mile canyon again, and was carrying nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. This feeling made him feel infinitely moved.

Yesterday, he received a message from Wang Rengong. When he knew their whereabouts and was about to attack in advance, he was also a little surprised. Chen Kefu was originally from Zhuo County, and he had long understood the danger of the military gate. Even if the opponent only had 5,000 people to guard the gate, as long as the guard was a veteran, it would be extremely difficult for them to capture this gate. As long as the opponent relies on the gate city to be dangerous, he retreated step by step when he could not defend it. Three gate cities could block them outside the gate.

Originally, he had never thought about attacking for a strong attack. According to his plan, he planned to fool several uncles and nephews of the Xue family and use them to help him steal the heroic barrier. Although the chance may not be great, he also wanted to try it first.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Rengong was in a violent position, he took the lead in taking action. Chen Kefu had to change his plan. He accelerated his marching and marched at full speed. Finally, when Wang Rengong just took the North Entrance, he arrived with his troops.
