Chapter 65: Critical Quarter

The north wind roared, and Xiongzhou, which had been fighting for a day, finally stopped. The people stayed at home for the winter, and occasionally a few pedestrians would stroll on the street.

Zhou Wei dragged his tired body back to the mansion, took off his armor, half lying and half leaning on the chair, his eyes closed slightly, and kept gasping, muttering, "It's so tiring to fight! It's so tired that people lose their strength."

The personal soldiers came over with a basin of hot water. Zhou Wei put his feet inside and soaked them. The personal soldiers were busy washing his feet.

"General, can we win this battle?" The personal soldiers started to nag while washing their feet.

"Barring! I've been beaten like this and I can't beat it, so I jumped off the top of the city." Zhou Wei was a little angry and patted his personal soldier's head with his right hand.

"Haha! There is a victory. Our Song Dynasty needs to win a battle very much." The personal soldiers were happy.

"Yes, the Song Dynasty fought against Liao Gou for hundreds of years, and not all the battles were defeated, and it was not much different. When did I defeat Liao Gou? I don't remember ten games." Zhou Wei shook his head, feeling very regretful, and then he was excited: "If I defeated the Liao army in this battle and ate Yelu Ming's 50,000 troops, it would definitely be the biggest victory in the hundreds of years' war. Unfortunately, I only have 10,000 troops and can only defend the city. I don't want to, don't want to, go to bed, go to bed!"

The sound became smaller and smaller, and the snoring gradually became louder, like thunder.

"The general is exhausted!" The personal soldiers kept shook their heads and felt very pity. They took a fur, covered Zhou Wei, and raised the fire in the pot, and retreated.

I don’t know how long I had slept, but Zhou Wei suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the chair, stretched his waist, and strode out.

The personal soldiers were guarding outside the door. When they saw Zhou Wei busy salute, they asked curiously: "General, where are you going?"

"City patrol." Zhou Wei took a step forward, looked at the dark night sky, and sighed: "I just squinted my eyes, and it was late at night, amazing!"

"General, the weather is so cold, how about the city?" The personal soldiers hurriedly advised him.

"The more time this is, the more you need to be careful. Liao Gou has many tricks and has to be careful." Zhou Wei took a bath in the blood, and the dead were rolling around. He knew that the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and he was extremely determined.

Taking a few personal soldiers with him, Zhou Wei dragged his tired body to patrol the city again.

In Xiongzhou City, there is an inconspicuous courtyard. At this time, more than a hundred tall and strong men were gathered, wearing Song army equipment, with a scattered knife on their waists. The leader was a triangular man. He was not too big, but he was particularly smart and had bright eyes.

He looked at the more than a hundred strong men and said excitedly: "The emperor wants us to lurk in Xiongzhou, and this lurking has been almost ten years. The emperor has not used us because the emperor does not need us to serve. The emperor's imperial edict has been issued, and it is time for us to serve."

"Sir, please give the order!" The men stood straight, as if they were scratched out with a ruler.

"Okay! Let's go to the city, open the city gate, and welcome the army into the city." The leader ordered loudly.

"As for order!" More than a hundred people, led by this man, quietly went out and touched the city gate.

In the Liao army commander's tent, Yelu Ming was discussing matters with the generals. Yelu Ming was extremely excited, with a red face, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, his hands clenched into fists, making a sound of a princess, and looked at the generals: "Haha! Do you know why the emperor wants us to attack Xiongzhou in the snow and ice?"

"The emperor has said that it is not necessary to bring a hole car, but you can bring more stone throwers and goose cars." A general replied loudly.

"You are wrong!" Yelu Ming stared at the general and said, "We are all wrong. The emperor buried his fuzi in Xiongzhou ten years ago and had not used it. Today is the time to use these fuzi. We attack in the snow and ice. If we can not use these fuzi, we can capture Xiongzhou, which is certainly good. If we cannot, Zhou Wei and the others would not have thought that the emperor had planted his fuzi ten years ago so far-sighted. This time, we will definitely be able to capture Xiongzhou."

"Very good!"

"Very good!"

The generals were overjoyed. Yelu Hongji was too proud of his ability to endure it. He buried his burial ten years ago and never used it. This kind of endurance skill is beyond the reach of people.

"You mobilize the army and lie outside the city gate. As soon as the city gate is opened, you will rush in." Yelu Ming shook his fists fiercely, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly: "After so many years, we have finally succeeded! Xiongzhou, Xiongzhou."

A group of generals took the order and left, mobilized the Liao army, and quietly came to the city gate to hide, waiting for the city gate to open.

The Song army guarding the city was in a cold weather, braved the wind and snow, and stopped patrolling. A team of Song army at the city gate kept sizzling heat in their hands, and couldn't help but curse: "It's so cold! It's so cold! I can't hold the knife anymore!"

"Liaogou is really not a human being. It's such a cold day, are they not afraid of the cold when they come to fight?" Some soldiers cursed.

"Liaogou is cold-resistant but not heat-resistant. They are almost like in the house in the snow and ice. Liaogou can really torture people." Another soldier cursed.

Just as he was cursing, a team of Song troops turned out and drove towards the city gate.

"Which part of you are?" Song Jun looked at it, but did not arouse his vigilance and asked casually.

"After the order of General Zhou, come to patrol the city. Look at you like this, you have no standing posture and no military discipline at all. No wonder you can't defeat the Liao people." The officer in charge glared and roared at the city gate army: "I heard it all, put the knife in the sheath, stood up straight, and looked ahead."

Where did the officers come from in the city gate? With such a big temper and such a cold weather, even Zhou Wei would not care about this. However, under the scolding of the officer, he did not dare to refuse to execute, so he had to put the knife in the sheath, stand straight, and look ahead with his eyes.

"Bang!"

The officer kicked a city gate army on the thigh, and the city gate army trembled and almost fell to the ground. The officer cursed: "You pig, don't eat? Your legs are weak. Can you ride when you see a woman?"

"Haha!" The crowd burst into laughter. The soldier who was kicked looked ashamed. He wanted to argue a few words, but he didn't dare to do so, so he had to endure it.

The officer came to the city gate with a swagger, waved his right hand, pulled out the Maza knife, and slashed at a city gate army. When the sword light passed, the city gate army's head flew into the air. Without even having time to scream, he died.

Just as the officer took action, more than a hundred "Song Army" who came with him took action together, slashing at the city gate army. When the matter was in a hurry, no one would have thought that the officer who spoke witty and laughed would make a fuss, and they were all shocked. These city gate army had no time to resist and were killed.

"Quick, open the city gate!" The officer in charge loudly ordered, and dozens of people rushed forward and began to open the city gate.

"Who are you? Stop it!"

What happened at the city gate alarmed the Song army on the top of the city and shouted loudly. A team of Song army rushed down from the city.

"Who are we? We are warriors of the Great Liao Dynasty. According to the emperor's will, we come to open the city gate and welcome the warriors of the Great Liao Dynasty into the city!" The officer finally revealed his true face: "Prepare for battle."

Without his order, the more than 100 Liao troops knew what to do, and pulled out the mazaku sword and prepared to fight.

Zhou Wei and his personal soldiers patrolled here. When he saw Song Jun running down the city, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Report to General, a Liao Gou killed the city gate official and was opening the city gate." A soldier replied in a frightened manner.

Once the city gate opens, if the Liao army pours into the city, the consequences will be unimaginable. Xiongzhou City is likely to be captured by the Liao army. Without Xiongzhou City, the Liao army can march straight into the Central Plains. I don’t know how many people died in the war.

When Zhou Wei heard this, he was like thousands of thunder roaring in his ears. He felt the sky was spinning and almost fainted. He forced himself to hold on and shouted: "Hurry up, kill all the Liao dogs and take back the city gate."

He pulled out the sword of the enemy and rushed towards the city gate. Behind him, the Song army moved and shouted, following Zhou Wei toward the city gate.

Dozens of Liao troops were opening the city gate, and only dozens of people were responsible for resisting and delaying time. Although these dozens of people were fierce and skillful in swordsmanship, they could not resist the large number of Song soldiers. There were constant casualties and injuries, and they were about to take back the city gate. At this moment, there was a rumbling sound, and a small crack appeared in the city gate.

Although it was just a small crack, Zhou Wei saw it in his eyes, which was like seeing the abyss of hell, which made him frightened and shouted: "Hurry up! Kill all the Liao Gou! Take back the city gate!" He waved the sword of the caps and rushed over without hesitation.

Zhou Wei was very good at swordsmanship and had great martial arts skills. With his strength, every time he used his sword, a Liao army would die. Under his leadership, he soon killed all the Liao army, including the officer.

"Hurry, close the city gate." Zhou Wei waved the blood-dripping sword and shouted.

In fact, there was no need for him to give an order, and the soldiers of the Song army knew what to do. With a huh, they rushed up and closed the city gate. However, at this critical moment, a shocking roar came from outside the city: "Kill all the people in the south!"

Outside the city gate, countless Liao troops rushed over, as if a hungry wolf saw a lamb, rushing against the city gate. It was a long human dragon, all composed of people, and it was impossible to see at a glance.

The Song army in the city used all their strength to close the city gate, but they were unable to defeat the Liao soldiers outside the city, and the city gate was opened little by little. Arrows from both sides were shuttled through the gaps, densely filled with raindrops, and soldiers on both sides were killed and injured.

"Boom!" The city gate finally opened, and the Liao army rushed in like a tide.

The Liao army entered the city, which was extremely critical. The Song army was very scared and someone started to escape. Zhou Wei stood in the local area and shouted: "Don't panic! Don't panic! Hold on, hold on! Whoever retreats will kill whom!"

He waved the sword in his hand and slashed at the escaped Song army. His sword skills were amazing, and he quickly killed more than ten of them.

"Don't take a step back!" Zhou Wei yelled while killing.
