Monument Yangmen

Chapter 727 Defense of Tongtai Pass
"This king knows you are brave, so I will give you a chance to show your bravery to the world."

Brother Yeluxiu pointed at the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him, and said loudly: "As long as you can kill one of these hundreds of thousands of troops, this king will not only agree to continue the talks with Song, but also exempt Song from ceding the territory. Year-old tribute is enough."

For Da Song, the conditions proposed by Brother Yeluxiu are definitely the most attractive conditions.

One person dies, the country is protected.

This is definitely what the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty are most willing to see.

However, after Yang Qi heard this condition, he almost didn't download it from the top of the city.

Kill one back and forth from hundreds of thousands of troops?
Unless he has an immortal body, he will definitely die.

Yang Qi couldn't do such a thing as generously going to justice for the Song Dynasty.

When his subordinates were strong enough to compete with the Liao Kingdom, why did he follow Yeluxiu's conditions to die?

Unless he's out of his mind.

Yang Qi put away his smiling face, and looked solemnly at Brother Yeluxiu, "So, there is nothing to talk about?"

Brother Yeluxiu looked calm, but said in a firm tone: "My Liao people have always respected the strong, and if we want to talk about it, we can only talk about it after the fight."

In fact, there is a lot of water in Yeluxiu's words.

Talking is a must. This is his strategy after discussing with Empress Dowager Xiao.

And this war will eventually end in peace talks.

The reason why they conspired against Zhao Guangyi during the peace talks, and after conspiring against Zhao Guangyi, they pressed Tongtai Pass was not just to vent their anger.

More importantly, they wanted to capture Zhao Guangyi so that they could squeeze more money from Song.

This is in the interests of their Daliao.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Siege!"

Yang Qi and Brother Yeluxiu spoke at almost the same time, a bloody battle was inevitable.

With a strength of more than 1 Xiangjun, against Yeluxiu's hundreds of thousands of troops, it seems like a drop in the bucket, and it can even be said that the arm of the mantis is like a cart.

But Yang Qi had no choice.

There was no rhetoric or ambition, and the war just kicked off.

In many cases, war does not have as many exciting scenes as people imagine.

On the top of the wall, Yang Qi is forming an army, and on the bottom of the wall, Brother Yeluxiu is also forming an army.

Encouraged by the warriors of Zamahe, the soldiers of the Xiang Army held spears and broadswords one by one, and waited for the arrival of the Liao army on the top of the city.

With such a disparity in military strength, any conspiracies and tricks appear to be invisible, except for a deadly battle or a deadly battle.

Whoever survives to the end is the winner.

However, after waiting for a long time, the Liao army did not arrive, and was replaced by trebuchets.

The moment Yang Qi saw the trebuchet, his face turned dark with anger, and he wanted to scold his mother a little bit.

Brother Yeluxiu wanted to use his method of breaking through Youzhou City to break through Tongtai Pass.

The story of Dong Shi's imitation can't be applied to Brother Yeluxiu. With Yeluxiu's war wisdom, there will never be a stupid thing about Dong Shi's imitation.

Moreover, Yang Qi can easily judge that Brother Yeluxiu not only wants to use his method of breaking through Youzhou City to break through the Tongtai Pass, but he also wants to learn from Yang Qi how to deal with this kind of tactics. defense.

Brother Yeluxiu's move really kills two birds with one stone.

"Quickly send people to dig the soil in the Guancheng, and then move it to the city. Ignore everything the enemy shoots into the city."

Yang Qi ordered with a dark face.

The soldiers of the Xiang Army had never experienced the battle in Youzhou City, so they didn't know the horror of Yang Qi's tactics.

The warriors of Zamahe knew the horror of this tactic.

They urged the soldiers of the Xiang Army to go down and dig the soil.

The speed of digging is far less than that of the enemy's trebuchet.

When the first batch of soil was transported to the top of the city, the Liao army's trebuchets had already started the first round of projections into the city.

The Liao army almost copied Yang Qi's tactics in Youzhou City.

Seeing that gunpowder bombs, stone bullets, fierce fire oil bombs, etc. exploded in Guancheng.

The soldiers of the Xiang army were so frightened that they hid on the top of the city wall and dared not go down to dig the soil.

With a dark face, Yang Qi asked the warriors of Zamahe to force the soldiers of the Xiang army to dig the soil.

This is also impossible.

The only thing that can put out the fire oil so far is soil.

Driven by Yang Qi, the officers and soldiers of the Xiang Army kept digging the soil.

Although there were many casualties in the middle.

But more and more sand and soil accumulated on the city wall.

When the sand and soil accumulated to a certain amount, Yang Qi ordered the soldiers of the Xiang Army to start mixing the sand and soil into thin mud.

Oil can be splashed on the city wall, but sand can't be splashed on the city wall.

It can only be hooked if it is mixed into a thin mud.

The mud was half mixed, and the Liao army began to project fierce fire oil on the city wall of Tongtai Pass.

Pieces of fierce fire oil fell, instantly dyeing the city into jet black.

"Snapped!"

When a flaming fuel bomb exploded on the city wall, the entire city wall was ablaze.

The officers and soldiers of the Xiang army on the top of the city panicked instantly.

Some people even took the opportunity to escape.

Yang Qi led Zamahe warriors to block the people on the only way down the city.

All those who escaped by going astray were smashed out of the city wall by him and disappeared into the sea of ​​flames.

After beheading 16 people in a row, the soldiers of the Xiang army were able to stabilize their minds of escaping.

Yang Qi stared at them coldly, and said in a deep voice: "It's not terrible to be fierce, as long as you follow my orders, I guarantee that you will be fine.

But if you try to escape in vain, don't blame Ben Hou for being cruel. "

The officers and soldiers of the Xiang Army looked at Yang Qi who was blocking their escape path with complicated thoughts.

Someone gritted his teeth and returned to the city he was defending.

Wait until nearly half of the people return to the top of the city.

Yang Qi gave an impressive order, "Splash mud! Put out the fire!"

Pot after pot of mud was poured down from the top of the city.

After the mud fell from the top of the city, it fell down the city wall.

When it was about to approach the bottom of the city wall, it had been dried by the fire below the city, and all of it had turned into dried mud flakes, wrapped around the city wall.

The city wall to the north of Tongtai Pass was completely poured with thin mud by Yang Qi's men.

As the city wall was covered with mud, the black fire oil on the city wall was also extinguished, replaced by a thick layer of mud armor wrapped around the city wall.

Brother Yeluxiu had been watching the battle, and when he saw this scene, he was obviously stunned.

"It turns out that the way to crack this tactic is so simple..."

After muttering something to himself, Brother Yeluxiu raised his hand and ordered his troops to stop attacking.

The tactic of burning Tongtai Pass has been deciphered by Yang Qi.

If it continues, Yang Qi will only make the city wall thicker and thicker, and the damage to the city wall itself will only become smaller and smaller.

And the final blasting, at most, would blow off the mud armor stuck on the city wall, without causing any damage to the city wall itself.

"Change the tactics and order the soldiers to attack the city in a conventional way."

As Yeluxiu's order was conveyed, the Liao army gave up the tactics just now, replaced their original tactics, and continued to attack the city.

Due to the special geographical location of Tongtaiguan, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of Liao troops to swarm up together.

Therefore, the Liao army seems to have a large number, but the number of people who actually attacked the city was only about [-].

One hundred thousand Liao troops rushed towards the city wall, mighty like a raging wave.

The sound of shouting and killing instantly covered the entire Tongtai Pass.

The Liao army under the city charged at the city wall one after another, and the soldiers of the Xiang army on the city wall fought the enemy bravely under Yang Qi's urging.

The forces of both sides began to be consumed rapidly.

Every quarter of an hour, someone rushed to Yang Qi's side to report, and more than 100 Xiang army soldiers died in battle.

"The enemy is coming!"

The Liao army in front of the city gate is the most ferocious.

They rushed to the top of the city by virtue of their numbers.

"The city is broken, run!"

Someone yelled, and someone followed and started to run away.

A large part of the city gate was vacated at once, allowing the Liao army below the city to climb up to the top of the city.

Seeing that more and more Liao troops gathered on the top of the city, Yang Qi was startled and angry.

Holding the Panlong stick, he led the warriors of Zamahe to the gate of the city to help.

As soon as they met, they fought with the Liao army in front of the city gate.

Yang Qi was like a wolf that had burrowed into a flock of sheep, the coiling dragon stick in his hand was flying up and down, and the Liao army he encountered wherever he passed became the souls of his stick.

However, the Liao army standing in front of Yang Qi seemed endless.

One batch was killed, and a new batch came up.

From the beginning of the war, Brother Yeluxiu has been closely watching Yang Qi's movements.

Brother Yeluxiu knew very well that few people would be Yang Qi's opponent alone, so the best way was to use a large number of people to grind Yang Qi to death.

This is the most common way to deal with fierce generals on the battlefield.

The longer the fight, the worse it would be for Yang Qi.

Seeing a few scratches from long knives on his body, Yang Qi also realized this. He wiped the blood of the enemy stained on his face, turning his whole face red.

"Oh!"

A golden monkey subdued the demon, forcibly smashing a big hole in the city wall.

The Coiling Dragon Stick in Yang Qi's hand was spinning on his left and right sides like a windmill.

All the Liao troops standing in front of Yang Qi were smashed one by one like deflated balloons, and they were loaded down to the top of the city.

"What is he going to do?"

Yelu Xiezhen, who was watching the battle, asked Yeluxiu beside him suspiciously.

Brother Yeluxiu frowned and shook his head, he couldn't figure out what Yang Qi was doing.

It was obvious that the position where Yang Qi was standing just now was the most favorable for him, but he actually gave up the most favorable position for him and charged all the way to the middle of the city gate, where the Liao army had the most troops.

With Yang Qi's personality, he definitely didn't do it for the purpose of sending him to death, then he had other schemes.

It is very likely that it is a conspiracy that can reverse the situation of the battle.

So far, how easy is it to reverse the situation?
A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Yeluxiu's mouth, but it disappeared in an instant before it could be firmly fixed on his face.

Brother Yeluxiu shouted loudly: "Quick! Quick! Quick! Quickly order the soldiers and horses in front of the city gate to be torn down."

However, his order was too late after all.

Yang Qi rushed to the center of the city gate building, and after sweeping away the Liao army blocking him with a stick, he raised the heavy coiling dragon stick, and ruthlessly hit the big pillar supporting the city gate building. Just one click.

"Oh!"

A muffled sound.

The large pillars supporting the city gate split apart at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yang Qi ran a few steps, rushed to the side of another big pillar, and hit another stick.

"Boom!"

The city gate building without the support of the pillars seems to have had its spine removed.

The gate tower tilted for an instant.

Then he fell to the outside of the city amidst the screams of the Liao army in front of the city gate.

All the Liao troops on the only way that the city gate building collapsed were covered by the city gate building.

It was like a ball of firewood and mud that had run over a colony of ants.

"Oh!"

The city gate tower flew down the city wall and hit the ground, raising a cloud of smoke several feet high.

After the thick smoke cleared away, what everyone saw was a small hill made of mud, wood, and flesh.

The Liao army were stunned.

The officers and soldiers of the Xiang army on the top of the city were also stunned.

What kind of strength is this, the destructive power that can be possessed.

Everyone looked at Yang Qi with horror in their eyes.

"Come again!"

Yang Qi, with disheveled hair and holding a dragon stick in his hand, roared at the Liao army.

Coupled with his blood-stained cheeks, he was a living Shura.

Amid Yang Qi's roar, Liao Jun was so frightened that Qiqi took a step back.

Seeing this, Brother Yeluxiu frowned slightly, "The morale of the soldiers is a little unstable after being hit by Yang Yansi like this. It's getting late today, and Ming Jin withdraws troops, and we will fight again tomorrow.

Let them live one more night, and continue to fight tomorrow after regrouping the army. "

The horn of the Liao army's call to withdraw troops sounded, and the Liao army who were attacking the city breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly retreated.

The officers and soldiers of the Xiang army on the top of the city also breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them fell to the ground in an instant.

Yang Qi took the wet wipe from Zamahe Aoki, wiped his face, and let out a long sigh.

It was really thrilling just now.

If he hadn't seen the city gate building at a critical moment and thought of using the city gate building to threaten the Liao army, I am afraid that the Tongtai Pass would change hands in a short while.

Now relying on the shock of the collapse of the city gate and building, not only killed many Liao troops, defended Tongtai Pass, but also deterred the Liao army and forced the Liao army to retreat.

Fight for an extra night.

"Whoo~"

After fighting hard for a long time, Yang Qi also lost his strength.

Yang Qi slowly sat down on the ground to rest, and the other Xiang army soldiers on the top of the city also sat on the ground to rest.

Zhao Defang didn't know when he went up to the city wall, and was looking around on the top of the city. After seeing Yang Qi, Zhao Defang's eyes flashed with joy, and he led an old eunuch, and ran to Yang Qi in a hurry.

"Huhou, have you won?"

Zhao Defang asked in surprise.

Yang Qi pursed his lips, "Win? With such a huge disparity in strength, how could we win? He managed to frighten the morale of the Liao army, and bought a night's rest. After dawn tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be another battle.

By that time, I am afraid that Tongtai Pass will not be able to hold. "

Zhao Defang frowned, moved closer to Yang Qi, and said in a low voice, "When will Huhou's troops arrive?"

"Should be there tomorrow."

"That's good……"

Zhao Defang stretched her brows, breathed a sigh of relief, and surprised Yang Qi: "Huhou, do you know why this king came to you?"
