Chapter 411 What does it mean to be ruthless?
The sound of killing was shouting, the collision of weapons was still on the road, and they were torn apart between the fields. A general named Bamuzhen waved a spear and led his team to kill the crowd, trying to stop the increasing number of Han cavalry.
Until a "boom" sounded at the city gate behind him, almost everyone fighting here was shocked by the sound, and subconsciously stopped to see the pass at Gubeikou where black smoke rose.
Li Cunxiao looked at the black smoke floating out and grinned. Regardless of whether Yelu Abaoji was dead or not, the explosion was enough for him.
The tall figure slowly turned around with a long spear, looked at the battlefield, and shouted loudly: "Kill--"
For a moment, a brief calm, on the battlefield of fighting, no matter what they reacted or didn't, they all made moves at one moment. The cavalry under his command burst out with amazing morale and waved the butcher's knife again. The soldiers of Li Siyuan, Wang Yanzhang and other generals who came from behind also quickly moved closer to this side and shouted hysterically: "Kill--"
The tribal infantry and the Pishi Army fought hard to resist and counterattack, but the emperor fled and retreated into the city gate, and hesitated to have no idea of life and death after the explosion. Such a morale blow was unbearable. The hesitant soldiers were knocked to the ground by the hilt of the knife and finally made a sound of begging for mercy. More Khitan soldiers ran on horseback or hiking toward the mountains and forests on both sides, and scattered figures were everywhere.
"It's over."
When he heard the news, Geng Qing was still waiting on the original cliff. The battle on the road below was coming to an end. Tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers fled in large numbers. Liang soldiers and Jin soldiers received orders and did not have to chase them. They had to walk through the battlefield, kicked and kicked prisoners who were kneeling on the ground and begging for surrender, tied ropes and dragged them to the side to wait for Shangguan Falu.
Geng Qing came down to the foot of the mountain, and Shi Jingtang, who was hanging an arm, shouted at several small schools with a serious expression. When he saw King Yong coming, he hurriedly called his guards to repair the surrounding bodies and drag them away to avoid the sudden attack of those who pretended to die.
"Be careful on the battlefield. As a general, how can you personally attack Shiya? This time I only hurt an arm. I can't say that I'll take my life next time!"
Geng Qing knocked Shi Jingtang's arm hanging on his chest. The latter grinned in pain but did not dare to avoid it. After a little while, Shi Jingtang said, "Your Majesty King Yong, I almost forgot one person. What should I do if Yelu Youwen?"
“Take ahead…”
Geng Qing was neither familiar nor interested in these Khitan generals even though they were famous in history, and he was even more unlikely to do anything to give both kindness and power, and to make the other party surrender. It was simply too expensive.
The man was brought over. Just a glance, he asked Dou Wei to take him to Gubeikou. There were only about seven or eight miles away from here. This distance was also the most relaxing place. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to set up an ambush and let Yelu Abao be deceived.
Gubeikou Pass.
The war here has ended, and a large number of prisoners have been taken into custody. The city wall is still covered by the Khitan sun and moon flag. It seems that it has not been captured, which makes Geng Qing a little regretful.
"In this battle in Youzhou, the pass, Yelu Abaoji are two important goals. Except for Yelu Abaoji, who does not know life or death, if this pass cannot be won, it will be easy to attack and defend, this battle can only be considered half of the victory."
Here, Li Siyuan, Wang Yanzhang, Yan Bao, He Gui... and other generals stood outside the arrows of Chengguan. Geng Qing, who was talking, looked at the city wall and observed the defense, which caused the generals to nod.
"The words of King Yong are extremely true. This level must be taken, otherwise the Khitan can go south at any time, and it is very easy to leave!"
"Then let's take advantage of the uncertainty of Yelu Abaoji's life and death!"
He became more and more excited when he heard the generals talking. Geng Qing looked at his brother who was resting with a long spear and closed his eyes. He made great contributions to this battle. From the start of the war to the Gubeikou, he chased him without stopping. Even his body was so iron-clad that he could not bear it. After all, Geng Qing had a deep understanding. After a month of galloping in the backyard, he lost more than ten kilograms...
"I'll be here today, let the soldiers rest and treat the wounded soldiers. As for the camp, they will rush to Gubeikou and pirate the Khitans inside to death."
He waved his hand and made a decision. Of course, everyone would not really take the camp to the door of someone else's orders seriously. After discussing the details of tomorrow's siege, they all dispersed to take charge of the soldiers under their command and deal with the wounded.
On the noisy road, on the field, the sun gradually sinks, burning out the last ray of afterglow, and the night pushes the edge of light to cover the sky and the earth. On the quiet city tower, the patrolling Khitan soldiers walked by worriedly, looking at the noisy enemy camp outside the city.
In the pass, in the three-story corner tower, soldiers came out with a basin of cleaned blood. The open door blew out a strong smell of wounded medicine. Yelu Abaoji was lying on the couch, and the military doctor was carefully taking out a small piece of iron from the flesh that was opened, putting it on the plate and jingling sounded, with seven or eight piles of them on it.
Hiss ~~
The pain woke the emperor on the couch from the fainting and let out a low moan of pain. He opened his eyes and looked at the generals standing in front of the bed, all of whom were in a mess, each with injuries. For example, Lu Wenjin's right arm was almost broken, and long blood marks were drawn on Xiao Dilu's face, and his flesh was turned outside, looking hideous and terrifying. If it weren't for the soldiers who were protected by the time and crawling along the city wall to the forests on both sides, he would probably not have come back.
Hearing Yelu Xie Niechi and the general guarding the pass, Bamuzhen died in battle, Yelu Abaoji coughed excitedly, and tried to hold it up with difficulty. He pulled it to his back, and the blood immediately dyed red on his back.
“What’s going on outside…”
"The Han people set up camp outside the pass, and they probably will attack the city tomorrow." Lu Wenjin was a Han Chinese, so he naturally knew it best.
"You can't make any mistakes in Gubeikou, otherwise the Han people would be able to enter the Khitan territory at any time if they want to go north in the future." Yelu Abaoji lay back on the couch and said weakly. His previous fatigue and injuries made him unable to concentrate. After saying the weak words, he fell asleep in a drowsy way.
The next morning, the sky was not yet bright, and the Khitan Emperor, who had not yet woken up from his sleep, was awakened by the sound of footsteps outside. Yelu Haili rushed to the door: "Your Majesty, the Han people seem to be sieging the city!"
Gu Feng
"Help me up!"
Yelu Abaoji had to get up and had to show up on the city wall. On the one hand, it was to stabilize the morale of the army, and on the other hand, it was to let the Han people know that he, the Khitan emperor, was not dead yet, and Gubeikou would not easily be handed over to them.
No matter how Yelu Haili dissuaded him, the emperor who had captured the Khitan on his horse's back ignored him. He endured the pain and put on his armor and arrived at the gate in a carriage. Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, the Khitan soldiers guarding the city wall immediately cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.
Seeing this scene, Li Siyuan, Wang Yanzhang and others frowned. They didn't know how Yelu Abao was injured, but the other party stood on the top of the city, and the siege would become extremely unfavorable.
On the other side, Geng Qing, who was standing in the central army, stroked his short beard, was quite surprised that Yelu Abaoji appeared on the top of the city. "This guy is lucky and was not torn apart by shrapnel!"
He smiled. When he heard Li and Wang and the others in front of him were ordered to attack the city, Geng Qing hurriedly sent someone to stop them.
"At this time, the attack will lead to the loss of troops and generals."
When everyone heard this, they felt relieved. They looked at King Yong who was coming here silently with a gaze of eyes looking at the city gate, waiting for him to give orders.
At this moment, Geng Qing was thinking about feasible scenes in his mind, and then he eliminated them one by one.
His eyes swept across the city wall. When he fell on the figure under the Sun and Moon flag, he suddenly thought of something. Geng Qing called Yan Bao and turned his head and said softly. The latter drove his horse back. Soon after, he brought back several cavalry from the back formation. One of them had a rope tied behind him, dragging Yelu Yuwen all the way and threw it in front of the formation.
Yelu wanted to keep his whole body bound and could not move. When he was helped by a Shatuo soldier and knelt on the ground, Geng Qing rode his horse and took two steps forward: "Your Majesty the Khitan Emperor, is this person your general?"
On the city tower, Yelu Abaoji pressed the walls, and in his eyes, the figure that was knocked down was the captured Yelu Youwen. However, before he could speak, the figure on the horse's back below suddenly raised his hand, and the Shatuo soldier who was watching pulled out the steel knife. In the eyes of countless people, he cut down Yelu Youwen's head down, and the blood arrows gushed out from the broken neck and poured onto the ground.
"Ji Lakan!!"
Yelu Abaoji's eyes turned red in an instant, and he shouted at the headless corpse that had fallen to the ground. They were the clan members who started his family, brave and loyal. As long as they returned to Shangjing and guard the palace, Yelu wanted to take charge of the responsibility of defending the palace.
At this time, Geng Qing below did not look at the corpse on the ground, but instead focused his eyes on Yelu Abao's fuselage. No matter what, an iron bomb exploded, and he didn't believe that the other party was not injured.
Anyway, just be angry.
"It's better to attack the heart than to attack the city. You have to learn it well."
Geng Qing raised his hand shamelessly, causing the generals to twitch the corners of their mouths. Then, Dou Wei was called to the side, "Wait a minute, what I say, what you shout!"
After saying that, Geng Qing took out a pair of earplugs from his sleeve and stuffed them into his ear hole. He looked at the city wall and suddenly raised his hand: "His Majesty the Khitan Emperor, I have something to ask you, can the moon be safe now? The water spirit that is of ancient nature can be seen? Does it look like the statue of the Lone?!"
The soldiers around the surrounding generals were silent and speechless.
Dou Wei, who opened his mouth and wanted to shout out loud, was stunned for a moment, looked at Geng Qing, swallowed, and then opened his voice and shouted out the original words.
"...Yueliduo is safe now?"
"...The water spirit that is of ancient nature can be seen as a lonely statue?!"
The voice echoed in the city gate, and the soldiers around Lu Wenjin, Yelu Haili, and Xiao Dilu were all stupid, subconsciously looking at his own Majesty.
I saw Yelu Abaoji standing there, his angry expression was stunned for a moment. Then, he turned from white to green, and then quickly turned red, and his tall body swayed.
"Han people...you--"
The words squeezed out in a low voice suddenly turned into a "Wow!" sound. Yelu Abaoji sprayed out a mouthful of blood, and the blood mist filled him, and he fell straight backwards.
The city gate suddenly became in chaos.
......
Below.
Geng Qing took off his earplugs, looked at the stunned generals with a smile, and waved impatiently.
Chapter completed!
