Tianlong: Immortal Cultivator in the World of Martial Arts

Chapter 151 Combat
Yelu Hongji walked out of the tent. At this moment, he no longer looked like an emperor, but was more embarrassed.

"What's the situation?" Yelu Hongji yelled angrily at a general who had just arrived at his side.

"Your Majesty, we haven't noticed the Song Army's actions, so this time it is very likely that it is a trick by the Song Army."

Seeing the general below talking back, Yelu Hongji was immediately furious, and then said, "Who is in charge of patrolling and guarding tonight, I will kill it, no matter who it is?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The kneeling general immediately began to back away trembling.

Chen Cheng, who was still standing on the city wall all this time, started laughing as he watched the torches that were quickly lit in the Liao army camp.

I definitely can't attack on my side, and this kind of thing can only be done this time, but it's still pretty good to disgust the opponent.

Although Yelu Hongji was very angry, it was impossible for him to start attacking Yanmen Pass in the middle of the night. He was not an idiot. With an army of 50, it was impossible to hide no matter how dark it was.

The next day

Early in the morning, the soldiers in Yanmen Pass had already started to arrive on the city wall. The soldiers looked more energetic now, and today they knew without thinking that a big battle would be ushered in.

"Report..., general, the Liao army is less than five miles away from our army."

"Okay, I see, let's go down and investigate." Chen Cheng said seriously.

There are no forests outside Yanmen Pass, so it can be said that the field of vision is very wide. At the very least, there is no way to hide tens of 10 people.

Chen Cheng stood on the city wall like this. As for the reinforcements behind, it would take at least a few days to arrive, but for the current 10,000+ people, there is absolutely no problem.

"Report... General, the Liao army has arrived at our army's Erli location."

"There is no need to report, I can already see it." Chen Cheng said.

Seeing the Liao army approaching slowly, everyone on the city wall seemed rather excited. At this time, they didn't know what fear was.

Chen Cheng also showed the calmness that a general should have, watching the opponent's approach carefully.

"All bows and arrows ready."

Following the order of the deputy general below, all the archers on the city wall directly raised their bows and arrows.

In order to increase the casualty rate, soldiers generally put the arrows of bows and arrows in the latrine, so that even if the opponent is only injured, if he is not treated in time in the end, he will still die.

"Get ready..." The lieutenant general raised his hand, and everyone's bows and arrows were full.

"250 steps..."

"200 steps..."

"150 steps..." The messenger kept looking at the Liao army and said.

"Wait until the [-] paces." Chen Cheng said suddenly at this moment.

"100 steps..."

Hearing what the messenger said, the deputy general immediately lowered his hand and shouted, "Let the arrow..."

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of arrows rained down on the Liao army.

Although the front camp of the Liao army had shields to cover them, when the rain of arrows fell, people kept falling to the ground.

Looking at the attack in the form of harvesting in front of him, Chen Cheng immediately ordered, "Get ready for the trebuchet and put in the kerosene."

"put……"

As Chen Cheng's words fell, dozens of trebuchets threw flaming kerosene cans and began to fall towards the front of the Liao army.

The person who had a shield in front of him and was fine, immediately began to be exposed to the sea of ​​flames, and there was no one in ten who could rush through.

Liao army camp
"Your Majesty, the soldiers can't do this anymore, the front has already suffered a lot."

Yelu Hongji looked at the general next to him, cursed directly and said, "Can I not see it? Give me a heavy siege weapon, and I must find a way to take down Yanmen Pass today, otherwise when the Song army returns to help, it will be very difficult for us. The losses would be greater."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The general of the Liao army didn't know what to say after hearing such a reply, so he could only bite the bullet and reply in the end.

Now Chen Cheng above the Yanmen Pass watched the other party pulling a few tall siege frames. It was obvious that he was going to die today, so he immediately ordered, "The archers start shooting non-stop, don't worry about the lack of arrow feathers."

This is the only way to go now, at least to force back a wave of attacks from the Liao army.

The entire battlefield looked very tragic, and even many generals of the Liao Army did not understand why their own emperor gave such an order.

As the Liao army got closer and closer, the heavy siege weapons directly touched the city wall.

Each siege vehicle carries a flying bridge or ladder, but it can only allow one person to pass at a time.

Such a siege vehicle mainly needs the cooperation of ground troops, otherwise, relying on such things, it is estimated that it is impossible to break into the city until death.

Looking at the Liao army that is still rushing towards the bottom of the city wall, the current soldiers basically start to throw boulders and rolling logs towards the city. This is also the simplest and most lethal existence.

This time, the Liao army wanted to take Yanmen Pass with such a huge loss, which Chen Cheng had never thought of before.

Not only that, but now the guards on my side have corpses on the ground that have covered the city wall.

With the cooperation of the siege personnel on the ground, people on the engineering vehicle would jump onto the city wall constantly, and the two sides were caught in a melee for a while.

Looking at the current situation, although Chen Cheng himself had already joined the battle, if he faced the uninterrupted attack of the 50 army, then even this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Yanmen Pass might be in danger.

"Everyone started to use fire oil and poured it towards the city wall." Chen Cheng directly ordered.

Kerosene is considered to be the most effective weapon to prevent ground siege, and at least it can ease the current situation.

As the entire city wall began to catch fire, the entry of the Liao army finally slowed down the attack.

Yelu Hongji looked at the situation in front of him, even if he was gnashing his teeth now, it would be useless, and if it continued, it would cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, and there might even be a possibility of camp screaming.

Yelu Hongji, with red eyes, immediately shouted, "Retreat."

As the beating drum of the retreating soldiers sounded, all the Liao troops who were still charging immediately began to retreat quickly towards the back.

Looking at the countless corpses beside him on the city wall, Chen Cheng, the left general, did not show any triumphant expression. Although this is something that must be experienced in the army, this veteran who has experienced many battles is still a little uncomfortable.

"The order is passed on, and the battlefield will be cleaned up immediately. All the dead soldiers will be registered. They are heroes. Another 5000 people will be sent outside the city to start burying the corpses of the Liao army."

Chen Cheng directly ordered that even if 1 people go out to dispose of the corpses, the Liao army will not attack even if they know about it at this time. It's a matter of two people.
