Monument Yangmen

Chapter 652
Outside Tongtai Pass is a lush green pasture, vast and boundless, the blue sky and white clouds are connected with the pasture, sheep and horses run wantonly on the grassland, it seems that they can climb the clouds in one leap.

The soldiers holding the Japanese army, wearing heavy armor, appeared on the grass with heavy steps, adding a bit of chill to this quiet and peaceful grass.

On the high ground, wearing a bright armor, he took the lead.

Li Hang, dressed in a commoner gown, followed closely beside Gong from a high place.

Behind the two of them are the soldiers of the Japanese army who are arrogant and arrogant.

Since they attacked from Waqiao Pass, they have been advancing like a broken bamboo all the way.

This made their morale soar.

The only person in the team who was unhappy was probably Hu Yanzan.

He frowned, hanging at the end of the team, and called it the pressure of the formation.

In fact he was dispatched from the command center of the military power.

In the previous battle of Zhuozhou City, the army captured Zhuozhou City with ease. Hu Yanzan felt that there might be tricks in it, so he sternly rejected Li Hang's request to continue marching, and asked to rest in Zhuozhou City for a few days.

Li Hang immediately asked for the gold medal arrow, depriving Huyan Zan of the duty of the Xiongjian Army Jiedushi, and Wang Chao, who had been demoted to the deputy general, jumped up and assumed the duties of the Xiongjian Army Jiedushi again.

Now Hu Yanzan is like an outsider, being sent to the rear as a quartermaster.

The only soldiers and horses he can command are the generals of the Huyan family who went out with him.

Gao Chugong led the army to the outside of Tongtai Pass, adding a touch of darkness to the green pasture.

Look up at Tongtai Pass.

The copper platform that had been rebuilt by the people was closed and closed, the suspension bridge was pulled up, the banner of the Yelu brand on the top of the city was fluttering in the wind, and a small number of Liao troops were staring vigilantly outside the city.

Gao Gong tightened the reins of the horse, looked at Tongtai Pass and said doubtfully: "Yelu Xuegu's military flag, I didn't see Yelu Xiuge's handsome flag, and the soldiers guarding the city seem to be Yelu Xuegu's subordinates too. Not many people."

Wang Chaoce immediately stepped forward, eager to try: "Then let's fight! Anyway, Yelu Xuegu is not a child who has been beaten. With one drum, we can drink and celebrate in the pass tonight."

Gao Chugong didn't pay attention to Wang Chao, he looked at Li Hang, and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Hang smiled and said, "The specifics of how and when to fight Tongtai Pass are up to General Gao. I am only supervising the march and withdrawal of your troops on behalf of Your Majesty, as well as whether there are any escapes. I don't care about the rest."

Gao Gong nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "I didn't see Brother Yeluxiu's handsome flag on the top of the city. Presumably, Brother Yeluxiu is not in Youzhou City, but at Feihukou. What's there at Feihukou?" information?"

When mentioning Feihukou, Li Hang's face turned dark, and he said displeasedly: "Shi Shouxin of Feihukou, his experience is not much different from ours. Xiao Qian, a famous general of the Liao Kingdom, led 20 Liao people to attack Feihukou. Destroyed by him.

But he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, instead sticking to Feihu's mouth.

The official sent someone to convey to Shi Shouxin His Majesty's order to pursue the victory, but he said that he would not be sick.

I have already sent a letter to His Majesty, and His Majesty has already known about this matter, and has decided to send someone to take Shi Shouxin's place. "

Speaking of this, Li Hang clenched his fists, and said viciously: "Damn Shi Shouxin, relying on himself as a veteran of the two dynasties, acted recklessly and completely disregarded His Majesty's will. When I return to Bianjing, I must take good care of him. One."

Gao Chugong raised his eyebrows, hesitantly said: "Uncle Shi did this, could it be that he has some hidden secrets? Could it be that Brother Yeluxiu is at Feihukou?"

Li Han snorted coldly: "Hmph! There's no inside story, I think he's greedy for life and afraid of death. The spies from the appeasement department have already spied on him. After Xiao Qian and others were defeated, they stayed in Lingqiu and didn't find Yelu. Brother Hugh's figure."

Gong Gao heard the words, squinted his eyes, thoughtful.

Whether Shi Shouxin is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he knows better than anyone else.

As old partners, brothers, and even enemies of the Shi family for many years, the Gao family knew Shi Shouxin's temperament very well.

Gao Chugong can be sure that there must be a reason for Shi Shouxin's claim in Feihu's mouth that he can't get sick.

As for the reason, he couldn't guess.

However, this is not important to Gao Chugong.

The reason why he asked Shi Shouxin about it was because he wanted to get some circumstantial evidence to see if Brother Yeluxiu was at Feihukou.

If Brother Yeluxiu is really at Feihukou, then his attack on Tongtai Pass will have to be slowed down.

It is easy to get into a stalemate in things like war.

Once he set off a big battle to attack Tongtaiguan, Yelu Xuegu suddenly insisted on relentlessly, and Yeluxiu from Feihukou suddenly returned to help, he would easily fall into the danger of being attacked by two sides.

Now that Yeluxiu was confirmed not to be at Feihukou, Gao Chugong felt relieved.

At least you don't have to worry about being ripped off.

Although Xiao Qian had the opportunity to take advantage of their retreat, Gao Chugong believed that after Shi Shouxin learned that they were marching into Tongtai Pass, even if he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue them, he would find a way to help them hold Xiao Qian back.

This is the tacit understanding between the generals. In the face of a real battle, they have always been unanimous.

So, brother Yeluxiu is the variable that Gao Chugong is most worried about.

Gao Chugong asked Li Hang again, "Have the people in the Department of Appeasement found any information in Tongtai Pass?"

Li Hang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "There are people from the Department of Appeasement in Tongtai Pass, but they haven't released any useful news so far."

Gao Chuan nodded respectfully, and ordered Wang Chao, who was eager to try, "Let's feign an attack and find out the truth."

Wang Chao took the order and excitedly took his men and horses to attack Tongtai Pass.

The soldiers of the Japanese army began to set up camp on the spot, and the soldiers of the Xiongjian army were led by Wang Chao to attack the city.

After a baptism of war, less than [-] of the [-] soldiers who built the army remained.

And these 2 people already looked a bit elite.

This is inseparable from Hu Yanzan's honing.

It's a pity that Hu Yanzan finally trained some elite soldiers through this war, but was picked by Wang Chao.

Wang Chao is very pertinent and well-behaved in fighting.

The [-] soldiers and horses were divided into ten attack echelons by him, and they pressed on Tongtai Pass head-on.

The ten attack echelons cooperated with each other and attacked Tongtaiguan continuously.

The soldiers of Xiong Jian's army rushed towards Tongtai Pass screaming.

Catapults, siege crossbows, and heavy crossbows, three heavy siege weapons bombed in turn, clearing the way for the soldiers of the Xiongjian army.

The soldiers of the first echelon pushed the siege chisels, carried the ladders, pushed the boarding carts, held up the shields, and rushed towards Tongtai Pass under the rain of arrows.

From a long distance, one could clearly see the rain of arrows criss-crossing above their heads.

The stone bullets and crossbow spears fired by the crossbowmen of the Xiongjian Army made holes one after another in the top of the city.

The city wall that had just been repaired was made gaps one after another by them.

The Liao army on the top of the city had already entered a state of alert when the Song army arrived outside the city.

After they discovered that the Song army had begun to attack the city, they launched a powerful counterattack.

When the Song army rushed a hundred feet away from the city wall, they began to shoot round after round.

Liao soldiers grew up from horseback one by one.

So their shooting skills are superb.

Every time the arrow is shot, it can hit the target accurately.

But, unfortunately, compared to equipment, Xiong Jianjun is better.

The arrows landed on the fish scale armor of the soldiers of the Xiong Jian Army and were successfully blocked.

Although the fish-scale armor of the soldiers of the Xiong Jian Army is not a full-body armor, the important parts of the body have basically been covered.

The rest are the arms, legs, and face.

Even if the arrows of the Liao soldiers hit their arms and legs, it would be difficult to achieve a fatal blow.

The face itself is small and the target is small. When running, even Liao soldiers who grew up on horseback can hardly achieve a one-shot kill.

Therefore, although the arrows of the Liao soldiers have a high hit rate, their lethality is limited.

The soldiers of Xiong Jian's army rushed to the base of the city and began a tragic battle to climb the city.

In a head-to-head fight, the two sides killed extremely tragically.

The soldiers of the Xiongjian Army could clearly feel that the fighting power of the Liao soldiers on the top of the city was not strong, but they showed a tenacious fighting will to fight to the death to protect the city.

"It's on the top of the city!"

After a fierce fight, the soldiers of Xiong Jian's army climbed to the top of the city.

Wang Chao, who was supervising the battle, cried out excitedly.

Seeing the great achievements ahead, the soldiers of the Xiongjian army became more heroic.

The soldiers of the Xiong Jian army who climbed to the top of the city faced even more brutal fighting.

The Liao soldiers rushed towards them as if they were desperate.

Even if they were pierced by spears, they would still brandish machetes and continue to pounce on the soldiers of Xiong Jian's army.

Even if it is death, they will give Xiong Jianjun a knife.

In this way, under the tenacious resistance of the Liao soldiers.

The soldiers of Xiong Jian's army were driven off the city.

Gao Chugong, who had been watching the battle from a distance, said to the messenger beside him, "Tell Wang Chao that the feint attack is over, so withdraw the troops."

The messenger took the order and quickly went to Wang Chao to pass the order.

Not long after, Wang Chao arrived in front of Gao Chugong with a face full of anxiety. He knelt down on one knee and said excitedly, "General, I'm giving the last general a chance. The city is about to be destroyed. At this time, let the brothers If you withdraw, the former brothers will die in vain."

Gao Chugong glanced at him, and said calmly: "The Liao army on the top of the city has been desperately resisting the Xiong Jian army under your command. Judging from their posture, it is clear that they are fighting to the death, fighting to the death.

The Liao army at this time is the most terrifying.None of them will surrender, they will fight to the last.

Although the Xiong Jian army under your command has the possibility of capturing the city.But it is also possible that the whole army will be wiped out. "

"General!"

Unwillingly, Wang Chao gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Is the general trying to grab the credit for the soldiers who built the army?"

He raised his head, revealing a pair of red eyes, he glanced at Li Han first, then at Gao Gong, and said in a trembling voice: "If the general really wants to take the credit for the upcoming achievements of our Xiongjian army, The last general can give in. I just ask the general to share some of the credit for the brothers who died in the Xiong Jian army after the battle."

This is very tragic.

Li Hang wanted to cry when he heard it.

And before Wang Chao spoke to Gao Chugong just now, the reason why he glanced at him was because he wanted him to help support him.

However, Li Hang did not do this.

Currently here, the two most capable generals are Hu Yanzan and Gao Chugong.

Hu Yanzan has already been assigned by him, it would be unwise to offend Gao Chugong again.

He won't speak for Wang Chao, but he will write down what happened today in his secret note to Zhao Guangyi.

Gao Chugong has been in court for many years, so how can he not see Wang Chao's thoughts.

He snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "For coveting your achievements, you underestimate me, Gao Zhigong, and my Gao family even more. It's just a Tongtai Pass, and it's not enough for this general to covet it so lowly. Your credit. What's more, it's still a credit that you didn't get.

On the battlefield, there are many variables. If you don't get the credit, it is not considered credit.

The reason why this general asked you to withdraw is also for your sake.

You have also seen the resistance of the Liao army when the Tongtai was closed.

You don't know how cruel they are.

If you continue to play as it is now, you may win.But if you win, it can only be a miserable victory.

At that time, all the soldiers of the Xiong Jian Army under your command will be wiped out, so what's the use of asking for credit?

Is it only for you, Wang Chao, to be promoted? "

The high place paused, and then said: "What's more, as the general in charge of the march, I am in charge of the two troops of the Ping Japanese Army and the Xiongjian Army. This general is looking at the overall situation, and what I have to do is to use the smallest At the price, play the biggest record.

There are stronger Japanese troops, so why doesn't this general use it?Why do you want you to take Xiong Jianjun to die? "

After Li Hang finished listening, he was obviously stunned.

Then nodded slowly.

Judging from various verifications, Gao Chugong's words can't be faulted at all.

So, is it true that as Gao Chugong said, Wang Chao wanted to be greedy for merit, so he disregarded the life and death of his subordinates and only cared about himself?

Wang Chao was overwhelmed by Gao Chugong's thoughts, his face flushed red, he gritted his teeth, and argued: "The general wants to suppress others with power, and the final general has nothing to say."

Gao Chugong was almost laughed out of anger, he stared at Wang Chao coldly, and said sarcastically: "Wang Chao, a selfish person, it is very difficult to have friends on the battlefield, and it is even more difficult to find brotherhood.

The most difficult thing is that a selfish person can only be a general of one side, even if he is as accomplished as the sky.

General, you have nothing to do with your royal family..."

After reprimanding Wang Chao for a while, under Wang Chao's angry and resentful gaze, Gao Chugong ordered loudly, "Beat the drums and withdraw the troops."

"Dong dong dong..."

The drums for the retreat sounded, and the soldiers of the Xiongjian Army withdrew from the Tongtaiguan battlefield like a tide.

Gong Gao rectified Xiong Jian's army, and then began to rearrange the offensive tactics.

The Liao soldiers were so fearless of death that they fought with their backs.

Then he had to wear down the spirit of Liao Bing first.

Inside Tongtai Pass.

In a large marching tent.

Yelu Xuegu heard the sound of the Song army retreating outside the city, and said softly: "My lord, the Song army has retreated..."

In the middle of the marching tent, Brother Yeluxiu was playing with the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you retreat, you will retreat, and then send some soldiers to the people to defend the city wall. The Song Army will soon conduct the second round." attack."

Gao Chugong never dreamed that Brother Yeluxiu, who he thought was staying in Youzhou City, never went to Youzhou City at all, but stayed in Tongtai Pass all the time.

If Gao Chugong could enter the Tongtai Pass, he would definitely see the large marching tents connected together.

Those large tents were filled with elite soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom who were ready to go at any time.

And those who fought desperately with them were still Liao people.

The reason why those Liao people became very brave was because Brother Yeluxiu issued a massacre order.

Whoever kills the Song army at the first level will get a sheep for his wife and children.

Anyone who takes a step back will be condemned by the whole family.
