Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 528 Battle of Beikou ([-])

The fortress on the top of the slope in the distance is getting closer and closer, and when you reach the half slope, you can already see the movement of the Qin army at the top of the city.

Yelu Xiezhen stepped on the rammed ground and followed at the end of the group. Even though he followed up nervously, he did not see any rolling logs and stones left by the Qin army at the top of the slope. Even when they reached Banpo, they had already entered Within [-] steps of the strange city wall outside, the Qin army at the head of the city didn't seem to make any moves.

Yelu Xiezhen was about to give the order to attack, when suddenly he saw a flash of fire on the top of the slope, just for a moment, he thought he was wrong.

After a while, a dozen steps in front of the army formation suddenly splashed with dust, which startled the soldiers in the front row.

Then a huge explosion came from the city, Yelu Xiezhen was a little uncertain, as if a black shadow flew over their heads quickly?
But he did hear a strange whistling above his head, like a sharp whistle, which he had never heard before.

Before everyone realized what happened, they looked around in confusion, Yelu Xiezhen didn't understand what was going on, but he turned his head quickly, and then saw the distant city, flashing light one after another, fleeting like thunder.

A terrifying explosion resounded across the mountain, and at this moment, the front row of shield cars was easily torn apart in an instant with a loud click, a large amount of dust was thrown up at the front, and there were also people who were overturned at the same time.
In a blink of an eye, a large queue at the front fell to the ground, and the wailing was quickly drowned in the noise. The sharp whistling resounded through the hillside, and the dust was flying on the hillside. A huge hole was suddenly torn apart in the tight formation, and the stumped limbs and broken arms mixed with dust arrived in the chaos. Fly, howl everywhere.

Yelu Xiezhen's pupils constricted, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all.

He watched with his own eyes five or six soldiers falling to the ground ten steps away to his left, crying in an instant. The dust was mixed with blood mist, and their legs were broken from the knees. Climb downhill.
And Qin Jun is at least two hundred steps away at this moment!He looked up, and he couldn't see Qin Jun clearly at the top of the high mountain shrouded in blue smoke.

After just a quarter of an hour, without his command, a large number of soldiers turned around and ran down the slope spontaneously in panic, leaving many wounded struggling and crying.

After Yelu Xiezhen reacted, under the escort of dozens of cavalry guards, he gasped for breath, tried his best to calm down and galloped down the slope.

He clearly felt something whistling and passing by above his head, and the horses running under the crotch of more than a dozen bodyguards running in front of him wailed, and the horses weighing hundreds of catties twisted into strange postures, fell down and tumbled in an instant, and a curtain of dust was drawn , Sand and gravel flew randomly, sliding down the slope for more than ten steps without stopping, someone's horse behind was frightened and ran wildly, someone was knocked down before he could avoid it, and the dust billowed.

Yelu Xiezhen was terrified, he was lucky, he was far away from the striker, so he quickly reined in his horse to avoid it, and the moment he missed the horse, he saw that the head of the rider who had been thrown more than ten steps away was gone.

When he ran to the foot of the mountain in shock, he still didn't stop. He ran all the way to the rear mountain ridge, one mile away from the Qin army's fortress, and stopped when he met Han Derang's support army.

Looking back, there are people running around all over the mountains and plains, like a nest of ants.

The siege troops in front had completely collapsed and were running around, while the reserve troops in the rear retreated in an orderly manner. The front line was also crooked and chaotic. The hillside was full of dust, and a large number of wounded soldiers had no time to evacuate.

Yelu Xiezhen met Han Derang who came up to meet him with the same shocked and terrified eyes, but the other party did not have the terror of close contact, screaming like a god of death, powerless without fighting back, and not sure when he would die. Han Derang just looked at the fear of not knowing it from a distance, but didn't experience it personally.

So he calmed down a lot, and immediately ordered people to gather up the remnants of the army, and at the same time told the reserve team to retreat, not to get close to those strange fortresses of the Qin army.

At this moment, the Liao army, which was full of confidence, suddenly became uneasy. Many soldiers whispered and chatted in low voices, and they were no longer as relaxed and comfortable as before.

By now, everyone has also realized that Qin Jun should have used their legendary cannon.

When they returned to the rear in disgrace, Yelu Xiezhen, Yelusha, Handerang and other high-level officials looked at each other in dismay, still in shock.

In their minds, they remembered the scene of the battle of the Sanggan River told by the rout soldiers in Shangjing. They didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that the defenders were exaggerating to avoid guilt, but now it seems that there is no exaggeration at all!

Yelu Xiezhen was so frightened that his hands and feet became cold, and Yelusha and others didn't know what was going on with the Qin army's artillery. To be conservative, they immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, withdraw from the flat position in the valley, and retreat to the north entrance to settle down , and then think about countermeasures.

Afterwards, Qin Jun's artillery didn't think about it any more, some wounded came down the slope by themselves, and they also took the risk of sending people to meet them, and the defeated soldiers everywhere regrouped.

Finally, when it was getting dark, the general results came out, which made everyone gasp.

At least 200 people were directly killed by the Qin army, and even more were injured, at least 600 people, and another 100 people did not regroup until dark.

The scariest thing was that most of those injured were seriously injured, and the most common type was that their feet were directly broken, especially the knees and the section below them. There were severed limbs flying everywhere.

The Qin army did not kill all the wounded, but the soldiers who climbed down were very miserable, and it was difficult for some of the wounded to survive. Even if they survived, it would be impossible to fight again.

Yelu Xiezhen even witnessed the horrific sight of a row of soldiers having their legs broken in an instant in front of him.

What disturbed the high-level generals most was that this was a large-scale attack by a total of more than 9000 people from the reserve team and forwards. As a result, the battle started for about a quarter of an hour before being repelled by hundreds of Qin troops!The blow to the morale and morale of the army must be very heavy.

At night, there were occasional noises outside and the wailing of wounded soldiers caught in the night wind.

Two soldiers found the iron ball fired by the Qin army from the mountain in the bushes at the foot of the slope, and it was sent to the Chinese army tent. Almost two miles away.
Hit Erli to drive!
This made everyone gasp even more. Even horses in Erlidi could run away. At the same time, Yelu Xiezhen also guessed why so many soldiers had their legs broken. Those iron balls would still bounce when they hit the ground. If it flies close to the ground, it will all hit the feet.

Because it is too fast, many times the eyes can't see clearly, at most they can see the shadow.

It's just that he couldn't imagine how Qin Jun could do it anyway.

Yelusha was silent for a long time, and the yellow fire flickered in the big tent: "Go and ask the Taoist priest from before, maybe he knows something."

Yelu Xiezhen and Handerang also nodded, they couldn't think of any other way.

But one thing is for sure: "The army must break through. No matter what, they are few and we are many. It is really impossible to rush over by force. Leave them alone." Yelusha said.

Although he does not approve of a full-scale war with the Qin army, he has no turning back when he opens his bow. He understands His Majesty's concerns in his heart. If the new king allows the land to be lost and the army to suppress the land, then the Liao Kingdom is likely to enter another round of great turmoil. among.

"Stabilize people's hearts first, and then prepare for the next attack." Yelusha said without doubt: "In any case, 3000 to [-] elites of our central army can go into battle, and the six fortresses of the Qin Army are as strong as [-] people.

You should appease the soldiers immediately, and let everyone know that the Qin army has only [-] defenders in the valley. Wait for the Taoist chief to come and ask again, think of ways, and prepare for the next attack. Let's gather our forces. I don't believe I can't beat it. "

Han Derang and Yelu Xiezhen accepted the order with solemn expressions.

"I didn't think the Qin army would be easy to deal with. Now this situation is expected. Don't be depressed. The whole army will regroup. Next time we will launch a full-scale attack and no longer retain our strength."
