Monument Yangmen

Chapter 401

In front of Yeluxiu, the commander-in-chief of the country, a few human lives are nothing.

As long as the door of the Central Plains can be opened and the land of the Central Plains can be invaded, all sacrifices are worthwhile.

The eight tribes of Khitan developed from a small nomadic tribe on the grassland to a huge country today, and this is how they came step by step.

Brother Yeluxiu is determined to win Yanmen Pass, and Li Chonghui is also working tirelessly for it.

Lao Yang is on the defensive side, and his troops are far inferior to others.

For Lao Yang, this was a very painful thing.

The enemy made a false attack, and the soldiers of the Huoshan Army in Yanmen Pass lost more than 600 soldiers.

Today, there are still more than 5000 soldiers of the Volcanic Army who can fight.

The soldiers of the Volcanic Army are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the enemies outside the city are also decreasing on a large scale.

But comparing the strength of the two sides, the enemy can completely afford it.

As soon as the fighting stopped, Lao Yang hurriedly let the soldiers of the Volcanic Army rest up.

The folks in Yanmen Pass began to carry the supplies for the defense of the city to the top of the city in a cycle.

"General Yang..."

The leading civilian husband is an old man named Fang Boss, an old Qin man.

The children raised by Qin Chuan in the eight hundred miles are all very thin, but full of resilience.

"what happened?"

Lao Yang was listening to Yang Wu's report on the military situation, when he saw Boss Fang, he asked casually.

Boss Fang rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said honestly: "General Yang, there are not enough rolling logs in the city."

Lao Yang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "There are not enough rolling logs, so go to the mountains and chop them. The logs all over the mountains and plains are not enough for you to chop?"

Boss Fang smiled wryly and said, "General, since Yanmen Pass became a frontier fortress against the Liao people, the trees on the surrounding mountains have been cut down year after year, and they have been cut down long ago."

Fang Boss glanced sideways at the bare hilltops on both sides of Yanmen Pass, and sighed, "Look at the nearby hilltops, how can there be a foot-high tree?"

Lao Yang said coldly: "If there is none nearby, then look elsewhere."

Fang Boss spread his hands helplessly, and said, "The nearest forest is also ten miles away from Yanmen Pass."

"Ten miles?"

Lao Yang lost his composure. It took a lot of time to transport the logs from ten miles away.

And now it was getting late, once these peasants left Yanmen Pass, if they lost their restraint and started to run away, it would be impossible for him to call the soldiers of Yanmen Pass to restrain and arrest them.

Boss Fang also saw this and reported the matter to Lao Yang.

Otherwise, with his dull temperament, he would have taken people out to cut wood long ago.

"What do you propose?"

Lao Yang began to seek advice from Boss Fang.

Boss Fang rubbed his hands, and said in a deep voice: "In Guancheng, many brothers died, and many barracks were vacated. Or, let's demolish these barracks. The wood on the beams is all good materials, and they are made into rolling logs." It’s not a problem. The stones used to cast the walls can also be moved up to defend the city, and it can save the time for brothers to dig stones.”

Boss Fang has a straight temper, and once he speaks up, he won't hide it.

He continued: "The peasants saved time, and they can go up the city wall and help the volcano army defend the city."

Boss Fang's proposal was good, but Lao Yang had his own considerations.

The folk husbands in Yanmen Pass can be said to be the last line of defense in the pass.

Lao Yang wanted to keep these people and use them at critical times.

Lao Yang pondered: "You go down first, and take the peasants to dismantle the empty barracks in the Guancheng. As for the matter of letting the peasants participate in the city defense, I will think about it."

Boss Fang nodded, smiled honestly, and turned to go down the city.

"Wait a moment."

Lao Yang stopped him, the boss turned around, and heard Lao Yang say: "When you pass by the Wengcheng under the city, call for Deputy General Wang for me to come over."

Boss Fang went down to the city and found Wang Gui who was guarding the gate with his soldiers in Wengcheng.

After a while, Wang Gui went up the city wall and came to Lao Yang.

"The last general, Wang Gui, see the general."

Lao Yang waved his hand, signaled Wang Gui to get up, and asked, "How do you feel about the situation?"

Wang Gui looked serious, and said: "The situation is not optimistic. The enemy will not hesitate to make a feint with the lives of 3 people. I'm afraid there will be a big move in a while."

Lao Yang pondered: "Do you have any other ideas?"

Wang Gui thought about it for a while, then said in a low voice: "Or else, let it in, it's an empty plan?"

Lao Yang resolutely vetoed it, saying: "No, once the Wengcheng is released, the enemy will rush up. Our little force is simply incapable of fighting."

Wang Gui frowned and said, "Then the only thing left is to stick to it."

"Father, the enemy will rush over in a while. I can lead a team to fight out and mess up their formation."

Yang Wu begs for orders.

Lao Yang hesitated, "Look again, look again."

Before Yanmen Pass, the fighting subsided for an hour.

Li Chonghui set off the flames of war again.

Li Chonghui used a catapult to clear the way, and a catapult driven by him was defeated in front, throwing large stones into Yanmen Pass frantically.

Big stones fell on the Yanmen Pass, making gaps one after another in the city wall.

Some soldiers of the Volcanic Army who couldn't escape were hit by stones and turned into a puddle of flesh in an instant.

"The Liao dog's attack this time is very brutal."

There are not only catapults, but also siege crossbows.

Li Chonghui abandoned the unique siege characteristics of the siege crossbow, and used the siege crossbow as a tool to kill the enemy.

In short, the Liao people attacked very quickly.

The arrows on the city gate have been exhausted, so in the face of such long-distance weapons, the Volcanic Army can only be beaten passively.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and the Liao people had already reached the city.

However, this time, they did not climb the city on the ladder, but stopped at a distance of 100 meters from Yanmen Pass.

The short pause left the soldiers of the Volcanic Army on the top of the city confused.

"roar~"

Immediately afterwards, in the distance, the servants of the Liao people, pushing more than a dozen huge wooden frames, walked steadily towards Yanmen Pass.

When he saw the huge wooden frame, Lao Yang stared wide-eyed and shouted: "City boarding car?!"

climbing car.

Da Song will be the supervisor of the latest city-climbing combat weapon developed.

A weapon that can replace the ladder, put it on the city wall, and lift the enemies outside the city to a height of two feet.

At the same time, the boarding vehicle can also build a temporary one-foot-wide platform outside the city wall for soldiers to use.

That is to say, the enemy can easily cross the wall of Yanmen Pass, which is three feet and three feet high.

With the remaining one foot and three feet, the enemy can easily climb to the top of the city.

Things like rolling logs and rocks lose a large part of their effectiveness in front of the boarding vehicle, and their lethality will also drop sharply.

"How did this thing appear in the hands of the Liao people?"

Wang Gui roared angrily.

The things that the general supervisor of the Song Dynasty researched were not equipped by the Huoshan Army as the army of the Song Dynasty, but the Liao people used them first.

How can Wang Gui not be angry.

Lao Yang was also angry, even the flames were burning in his chest.

However, as the coach, he can't be irrational like Wang Gui.

Gritting his teeth, with blood dripping from his heart, Lao Yang roared, "Call Yang Yande over here."

Wang Gui said in astonishment: "Old man, let me go."

Lao Yang shook his head and said in a deep voice, "You are old, and there are some things you can't do."

Yang Wu has been on standby at the north gate of the city gate. Hearing Lao Yang's call, he quickly appeared in front of Lao Yang.

Lao Yang stared at Yang Wu, and said in a low voice: "This commander agreed to your previous suggestion and asked you to take people out to fight. However, this commander has one condition."

"Father commanded."

"Destroy the boarding car."

Yang Wu knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "The last general takes orders."

Yang Wu received the military order, went down the city wall, entered the urn city, and began to deploy the men who rushed out of the city.

Lao Yang was on the top of the city, staring at the boarding car that was gradually approaching, and gave Wang Gui instructions.

"You go and arrange it, order the soldiers to prepare for the gun formation. Hold Yanmen Pass."

Wang Gui cupped his fists.

"The last general takes orders."

The boarding car is getting closer.

When the boarding car hit the wall of Yanmen Pass.

Rows of long spears emerged from the notches on the wall of Yanmen Pass, and the long spears were staggered to form a line of defense built by the spear points.

The Liao army, who had just been sent up by the boarding car, was pierced across the eye by a long spear.

The Liao army didn't seem to feel the death of their companions, so they took advantage of the fact that the spears of the soldiers of the Volcano army were stuck in the bones of the corpses of the Liao army, grabbed the spears, and tore the soldiers of the Volcano army off the top of the city.

Then, the Liao army who rushed up from behind picked up the scimitar in their hands and dismembered the soldiers of the Huoshan Army who had fallen onto the boarding vehicle.

Under the cover of boarding carts, crossbows, and catapults, the Liao army became more and more courageous as they fought.

The soldiers of the Volcanic Army on the top of the city fought hard, but they were still outnumbered by others, and suffered heavy casualties.

"Hahaha... Well, well, it really is a big gift, General Li is really impressive."

Qi Dahar, seeing his subordinates, someone had already killed the head of Yanmen Pass, immediately praised Li Chonghui overjoyed.

Li Chonghui was very proud when he heard Qidahar's praise.

Heroes finally come into play.

I, Li Chonghui, will definitely become famous in this battle, and I will succeed in this battle.

Although he was proud in his heart, Li Chonghui was still very submissive on the surface. He smiled humbly: "Everything depends on the support of the general, and the subordinates only rely on the majesty of the general to provide such insignificant suggestions and methods."

"Okay!" Hearing this, Qi Dahar was even more satisfied with Li Chonghui. He patted his chest and said: "You are very knowledgeable, and this general is very pleased. Don't worry, if you win this battle, you will return to Shangjing." From now on, this general will definitely recommend you in front of the queen mother.

In the future, our Begging Department will also support you. "

Li Chonghui was overjoyed, flattered his horse and said, "Thank you, General, for your cultivation."

On the top of the mountain in the distance, Brother Yeluxiu saw the sharpness of the boarding car, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"It's an amazing siege weapon, which can be called a sharp weapon. With this sharp weapon in hand, our Liao Kingdom will have a little more chance of winning against the Song Dynasty in the future."

Xiao Tianzuo nodded and said: "It's really a good thing. This thing doesn't look like something from the Qida Department."

Xiao Tianyou yelled loudly: "That idiot of Qita Hal, that's so capable, there must be some expert behind it."

Brother Yeluxiu put his hands behind his back and said with a light smile: "This king really wants to meet this expert behind Qi Dahar. This expert may save me a lot of effort. Maybe he will win the Yanmen Pass, Give me a surprise."

Xiao Tianzuo frowned and said: "Then our army ambushing behind the Qi Da Department?"

Brother Yeluxiu waved his hand and said, "No problem."

"Report to Your Majesty, my subordinates have already found out. This time the battle to conquer Yanmen Pass was all directed by a man named Li Chonghui."

The person Yeluxiu sent out to investigate knelt down on one knee behind him and reported.

"Li Chonghui?"

Brother Yeluxiu repeated the name with a puzzled look on his face.

Xiao Tianzuo said: "I know this person, he is the commander of the Mabu Army."

Brother Yeluxiu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Since he is the commander of the Mabu Army, let Xiao Duoli go and have a look."

"This subordinate is going to deliver the order."

Xiao Duoli is also a member of the Xiao clan, and has a higher status than Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou in the Xiao clan.

This person is quite favored by Empress Dowager Xiao, and currently holds the title of servant of the Liao Kingdom, and he is the husband of Empress Dowager Xiao, the son-in-law of the late Tianshengzong of the Liao Kingdom, so there is a brother-in-law on his head title.

In the army, only Brother Yeluxiu can overwhelm him.

And he happened to be Li Chonghui's boss.

When the Liao people are relaxed and happy.

The situation with Yanmen closing became more and more tense.

With the assistance of a sharp weapon like a climbing cart, the Liao army had already overcome the obstruction of the gun array on the top of the city, and successfully climbed to the top of the city.

Lao Yang and Wang Gui, leading the soldiers of the Volcanic Army, fought a tragic battle with the Liao Army.

Lao Yang's big golden sword has almost become a sharp weapon for reaping lives, killing countless Liao troops vertically and horizontally.

Many Liao troops were not his single-handed enemies, and were split in half by him with a single knife.

"Drink~"

Lao Yang yelled loudly, hacked another Liao soldier to death, turned his head and shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Go and tell Yang Yande that it's time to attack."

The soldiers guarding Lao Yang immediately passed on Lao Yang's order.

In the urn city.

Yang Wu is wearing heavy armor and holding a big gun, majestic and majestic.

After receiving Lao Yang's order to attack, Yang Wu solemnly raised the big gun in his hand and roared: "Brothers, follow me to kill, and kill it to your heart's content."

"Open the city gate!"

"Open the city gate!"

"Open the city gate!"

There were three bursts in a row, one louder than the other.

Then, just as the Liao army outside the city was climbing the city cart one after another, the gate of Yanmen Pass suddenly opened.

Under the astonished eyes of the Liao army, five hundred heavily armored cavalry, headed by Yang Wu, rushed out from the door suddenly.

"kill!"

The heavy cavalry, facing the infantry, was basically a massacre.

The Liao army standing in front of them didn't need them to swing their knives at all. Horses in heavy armor would knock the Liao army to the ground as long as they charged across.

The heavy armored cavalry following up from behind would trample the Liao army they hit into a pulp.

Fighting across the battlefield has always been Yang Wu's favorite thing.

Yang Wu also has a lot of experience in this way.

A small number of cavalry rushed to kill a large number of infantry, and killing the enemy was only the most basic purpose.

The most important purpose is to break up the enemy's formation.

As long as the enemy's formation is chaotic, the rhythm will be chaotic, and the offensive will also be chaotic.
