Chapter 472: Massacre
The defending party was almost holding his anger to fight the siege party. The child was still in his infancy and died in front of them, so the whole army had nowhere to vent his anger.
In a forest more than ten miles away from Qi County, Li Cunxu was restraining his subordinates. In the recent days after leaving the city, half of their energy was spent on observing the situation in Qi County, and the other half of their energy was to observe whether the enemy had a weaker army to attack. Of course, the enemy's food route was also one of their key concerns. They had long known about the battle under Qi County. When they saw the Khitan Han army taking ordinary people as hostages, their eyes were full of blood and they all asked to send troops. Even Li Cunxiao raised the hammer and was eager to try. He found Li Cunxu several times, looking like he was going to kill.
Li Cunxu did not act rashly and restrained all his subordinates. The reason was that the time was not right, so the soldiers were waiting for the opportunity that Li Cunxu mentioned. In this way, the sun set little by little until dusk. When Guo Sheng saw that the Qi County town in front of him was still motionless and intact, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Qi County is an affiliated county in Youzhou, very close to Yanjing City, only half a day away, so Duan Mingyu dared to place the army here. In this way, no matter the Khitan defenders in Yanjing City or the Khitan reinforcements on the periphery, they can be within his control. No matter which side there is an abnormal situation, he can make better and faster responses.
Guo Sheng's army lost more than 20,000 yuan in the siege, and about half of its strength was exhausted. He had to retreat when night fell. Duan Mingyu saw the enemy retreat, but did not pursue him, but just closed the city gate. That's all.
Not far away is Gaoliang River. Guo Sheng's troops retreated to the riverside and had already crossed the river one after another. After crossing the river, the Khitan camp was safe. The three armies couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, some soldier made a panic sound: "What is that?"
Several soldiers next to him turned around in a conditioned manner and saw that there was a large number of black people not far ahead. This group of troops was very special. Each of them had a mount. Although there were many people and horses, they did not make a sound. They were undoubtedly the elite among the elites. With the light of fire, you could vaguely see a large flag that reads: "Li, the Great Army of Hedong Jiedu, Datang."
"No, it's Tang Jun!"
Guo Sheng's troops were shocked to see the Tang army as if falling from the sky, holding horses and saddles in a hurry. After a busy journey, Li Cunxu's cavalry took the lead in charge. The speed was so fast that before they were ready, they rushed past the camp like a gust of wind. The infantry at the front were like a group of soldiers and mosquitoes, and they drowned Guo Sheng's 20,000 troops in Li Cunxu's army, but did not hinder the speed of the Tang army's advance.
Good steel is used on the blade. Li Cunxu took the cavalry in Li Cunxiao's army as the vanguard, and Li Cunxiao personally led the sharp-knife cavalry to attack Guo Sheng.
Li Cunxiao led an unstoppable cavalry to kill the generals all the way, but only killed them so much that they were so scared that they could not move. They could not even exert half of their combat power. There were countless people who surrendered. Li Cunxiao entered and exited seven times, and then he stopped rushing because of his exhaustion of horsepower.
At this time, the Khitan camp received the news that Guo Sheng's troops were attacked. Zhang Shifang, who was also a Khitan Han general, had just arrived with 40,000 reinforcements. Li Cunxiao was about to wait for a horse to rest, but when he saw tens of thousands of people coming from the other side, he replaced a war horse and launched a charge again, barely facing Zhang Shifang's already slightly tired army running several miles.
The Hedong Army has many contacts with the real Khitan nomadic army. According to Li Cunxu's usual habit of fighting, this is also a habit developed by fighting with the Khitans, that is, dare to fight and rush. Once you seize the fleeting opportunity, you must do your best to expand the victory results. It is advisable to chase the remaining bravery. Because the grassland tribe is almost 100% cavalry team, if you hesitate, he will run away, and it is difficult to see the world, so you must react quickly and act decisively.
This is exactly what the Khitan Han generals lack. At the same time, since they were not Khitans, but Han people, their army was short of clothes and food. They were used as guns by Khitan for many years, and their morale was sluggish. The worst thing was that the manpower was sometimes exhausted. These officers and soldiers had just started a long-distance training, and their legs were sore and weak. As a result, they collapsed at one touch, retreated at one point, and they scattered at the same time. The army was not formed and they fled in panic. For a time, the Khitan Han army broke into each other, killing and injured countless times.
This story, if it is replaced by League of Legends version, it is:
Duan Mingyu and the Khitans demolished the base, the Khitans demolished Qi County, Duan Mingyu demolished Yanjing, and the Khitan Han attempted to demolish the crystal tower, but was ambushed in the grass by Li Cunxu, who was in the same camp as Duan Mingyu.
So Li Cunxu turned around and asked Li Cunxiao, who had the highest output, to fight with Zhang Shifang, and then the system emitted a roar of thunder:
doublekill (Li Cunxiao completed double kills!) t-day plekill (Li Cunxiao completed three kills!) rampage (Li Cunxiao has gone wild!) killingspree (Li Cunxiao is killing and killing!) Unfortunately, the head in front of him is far from enough to make Li Cunxiao superb. However, such a tacit cooperation also made Zhang Shifang who came to lose his armor and lose his armor. He could not care about Guo Sheng's life. He had to "return to the city" with a little remaining blood.
Li Cunxiao chased and killed Zhang Shifang fled in panic. At this time, it was too late. Li Cunxu's army fought hard and was too busy. Seeing that it was about to kill, he cried out to withdraw his troops and continued to wander around the periphery of the Khitan camp, with uncertain whereabouts.
The captured Guo Sheng obviously taught Li Cunxu to send someone to Duan Mingyu's Qi County, but what is puzzled is that Duan Mingyu let Guo Sheng go back. This made the general under his command very puzzled. Duan Mingyu smiled, "Guo Sheng deserves to die. Just because he holds ordinary women and children hostages, he will die a hundred times, but his death in our hands is completely different from the death in the hands of everyone in the Khitan."
Guo Sheng returned to the Khitan camp in wonder. The third prince Yelu Lihu personally held a banquet to suppress his shock. At the banquet, the third prince Yelu Lihu killed Guo Sheng. Ordinary soldiers thought that the third prince Yelu Lihu of Khitan was bloodthirsty and killed two people for fun. However, it is reasonable for generals who know the reasons to think about it. You, Guo Sheng, can come back safely after going to Tang Camp. If you didn’t surrender Duan Mingyu, how could you let you come back intact?
