Monument Yangmen

Chapter 749 Yang Er's Worries

"Kill the soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom!"

Yang San hesitated again and again, and finally decided to attack the soldiers and horses of Liao.

A surprise attack on the nearly [-] elite soldiers of the Liao Kingdom can greatly weaken the strength of the Liao Kingdom, and can also keep Tanzhou City to the north of Luofengpo.

Relatively speaking, the risk of surprise attacking Empress Dowager Xiao and the young emperor Yelu Longxu was relatively high.

Because Yang San couldn't guarantee that under the chaotic battle, the Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor Yelu Longxu would not be hurt at all.

If these two died in the hands of Yang San, it would not be of much help to Yang Qi's crusade against Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

But if they are forced to return to Youzhou City, Brother Yeluxiu will be wary and dare not fight Yang Qi head-on.

Yang San had a decision in his heart and didn't hesitate.

"kill!"

Yang San shouted loudly, and the shouts of killing suddenly became one.

The [-] soldiers and horses who were ambushing in Luofengpo were killed.

Rolling stones, logs, bows and crossbows are thrown down for free.

Gunpowder bombs were ejected after being ignited one by one.

The Liao army on the ancient road was not in a hurry to evade, and was killed all of a sudden.

"Quickly withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

"Don't be chaotic! Don't panic! Groups of ten people form a circle..."

"oops……"

"what……"

Some Liao army generals wanted to take the opportunity to organize a counterattack.

But the Liao army had already been frightened by the ambush on the hillside. They fled around in fright, and they had no intention of counterattacking.

Yelumo stared dumbfounded at the rolling stones, logs, and crossbows falling from the hillside, and said in horror: "There is really an ambush..."

After a short period of absent-mindedness, Yelumo hurriedly rushed to the frame of Empress Dowager Xiao and the young emperor Yelu Longxu, and shouted loudly, "Come with the old man to escort."

Empress Dowager Xiao had already opened the curtain, looking at Luofengpo in the distance, at the enemies all over the mountains and plains, and then at the dead bodies of those killed in the valley, Empress Dowager Xiao felt a pain in her heart.

She looked at Yelu Mozhi who was nervous, and said in a deep voice: "Mozhi, this palace is heavily guarded and has never stepped into the enemy's ambush. The enemy will not be able to threaten me for a while. Take someone to help The soldiers of the Liao army on the ancient road..."

Yelumo only glanced at Empress Dowager Xiao with a complicated expression.

Before, he violated the orders of Empress Dowager Xiao, but now due to his fault, the soldiers and horses of the Liao army were attacked. Not only did Empress Dowager Xiao not blame him, but she also asked him to rush to rescue other soldiers.

It can be seen from this that Empress Dowager Xiao has a heart.

Yelumo secretly felt a tinge of admiration for Empress Dowager Xiao in her heart.

Now that he heard Empress Dowager Xiao's order, without waiting for the little emperor Yelu Longxu to speak, he nodded solemnly and said, "Old minister, let's go now..."

Yelumo only ordered the remaining [-] leather troops to protect Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu. He himself led a team of personal guards and rushed into the ancient road to rescue the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom.

"Kill!"

On Luofengpo, Yang San saw that the time had come, he immediately raised his spear, roared, and led the soldiers to rush down Luofengpo, killing the Liao army at the foot of the mountain.

Hand in hand.

The officers and soldiers of the Liao army were ambushed first and attacked by air-dropped weapons. Now they are facing the elite soldiers in Yang San's hands, and they can only be beaten passively.

After Yelumo rushed into the ancient road, he quickly organized the flustered Liao army and reluctantly organized a formation.

Then through the movement of the formation, the rest of the scattered Liao army was continuously gathered.

"General, save me..."

Some wounded soldiers of the Liao Army saw Yelv Mozhi, as if they had seen a savior, and wailed for Yelu Mozhi's help.

However, when Yelumo passed by the Liao army soldier, he did not extend a helping hand to him, but ended his life with a dagger.

Yelumo only looked at the corpse of the Liao army soldier killed by him, gritted his teeth and growled with a gloomy face, "It's not that the old man will not save you. If I take you with me, it will slow down the speed of escape. The thieves are powerful. We have extra time.

In order to save you from being humiliated by thieves, this old man will send you on your way safely. "

Yelu Mozhi's words seemed to be comforting the dead soldiers of the Liao army, but also seemed to be comforting himself.

In short, the soldiers of the Liao army who followed him and organized by him felt uncomfortable.

Some people even began to weep secretly.

But even so, no one spoke out to stop Yelv Mozhi's actions.

Without being dragged down by the wounded, Yelumo only moved forward a little faster.

In just one stick of incense, Yelumo gathered nearly [-] Liao soldiers.

When Yelumo reached the middle of the ancient road, he bumped into Yang San who was leading his troops to fight.

The two were taken aback when they saw each other.

Yang San narrowed his eyes suddenly, and charged at Yelu Mozhi with his spear in hand.

Yelumo only tightly held the scimitar in his hand, seeing that there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses following behind Yang San, he gritted his teeth unwillingly.

"withdraw!"

Yelumo only wanted to fight Yang San, but he always kept his mission in mind.

On this ancient road under Luofengpo, it doesn't matter who wins and who loses, the important thing is that he must protect the lives of Empress Dowager Xiao and little emperor Yelu Longxu.

When Yang San led his men to the position where Yelu Mozhi was, Yelu Mozhi had already withdrawn a hundred feet away with the soldiers and horses he gathered.

They escaped very fast, as if if they took one step slower, they would lose their lives.

Seeing that Yelumo was running farther and farther with the people, Yang San stopped and raised his hand, "There is no need to chase, the poor should not chase. Quickly clean the battlefield."

Although the soldiers under Yang San's command were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey Yang San's order.

After cleaning the battlefield, count the battle achievements.

In this battle, [-] Liao troops were killed and more than [-] were captured.

However, the loss of Yang San's own soldiers and horses was less than 1000.

This is a big win.

Although Yang San regretted that he failed to catch Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor Yelu Longxu, he did not get entangled in this matter.

After dispatching a team of secret sentries to lurk in Luofengpo, Yang San took his men and escorted the prisoners to Tanzhou City.

On the other side, after Yelu Mo left the ancient road with only the remnants of the Liao army's defeated generals, he guarded the carriages of Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor Yelu Longxu, and hurried back along the original road.

Yang San's battle at Luofengpo was easy with his heart and mind.

Yang Er in Jizhou City did not fight so easily.

Brother Yeluxiu divided 20 troops, under the command of Xiao Talin, with Di Lie as the deputy general, and the military strategy of Jizhou.

After 20 soldiers and horses arrived in Jizhou, they quickly besieged Jizhou City and blocked Yang Er in Jizhou.

If the Scarecrow hadn't sent the message quickly enough to tell Yang Er the news of Brother Yeluxiu's division of troops, and Yang Er took the opportunity to clear the walls and get a large amount of food, I'm afraid Xiao Talin would have trapped Yang Er to death in Jizhou City.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hand, you don't panic.

With a large amount of food and grass in Yang's second hand, and one hundred thousand elite soldiers guarding the city, he is not afraid of Jizhou City being besieged at all.

Of course, Yang Er also encountered the same traitors as Yang Liu encountered in Yanzhou City in Jizhou City.

Yang Er's luck is far better than Yang Liu's.

There are far more people harboring the Han family in Jizhou city than in Yanzhou city.

Before Yang Er could make a move, those wealthy families in the city who harbored the Han dynasty executed those traitors and traitors.

The whole city wholeheartedly helped Yang Er defend the city.

Although there are only 20 soldiers and horses defending the city in Yang Erli, there are [-] young and strong people in the city to help defend.

Xiao Talin led 20 troops to rest outside Jizhou City for a day, and launched a siege battle the next day. This battle lasted for one day.

It didn't stop until evening.

After a day of fierce fighting, the men and horses were exhausted, and the soldiers lay down against the city wall one by one. Even the slang and bureaucrats from the southern country did not have the energy to make a noise for joy.

Geng Jinhua walked up to Yang Er, sat down next to Yang Er, then took out a water bag from behind, took two pieces of mutton, and a large piece of bread, and stuffed them to Yang Er.

Yang Er took the food from his wife, took a sip of water, and took two bites of the bread.

Suddenly he raised his head and said, "Do the soldiers have anything to eat?"

Geng Jinhua gave him a blank look, glanced at the soldiers in the distance, and motioned him to look for himself.

Yang Er looked up and was happy.

He saw hundreds of women carrying, or carrying, baskets woven of tree twigs, basket after basket, transporting bread and mutton to the city wall.

There are also pots of mutton soup, which were also carried to the top of the city.

Women are not at all afraid of life.

While chatting with the soldiers, they distributed food to the soldiers.

When they meet those sixteen or seventeen-year-old children, they will grope them lovingly, and then quietly give them an egg or other food.

In short, there is no sorrow after the war on the city, but there are more laughter.

Seeing that the soldiers had food to eat, Yang Er nodded in satisfaction, lowered his head again, and started eating.

Geng Jinhua rested her chin with both hands, looking at Yang Er unblinkingly like a girl.

After a long while, she asked suspiciously, "Sister...you don't seem very happy?"

Yang Er raised his head, was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "It's a war, and familiar soldiers fall beside me every day, how can I be happy."

Geng Jinhua shook his head slightly, frowned and said, "Is there something on your mind?"

Yang Er stopped drinking water, turned his head to look at Geng Jinhua, and sighed helplessly: "Old husband and wife, I really can't hide things in front of you."

Geng Jinhua hesitated and said: "Mr. is worried that Han Derang from Yuguan will come to help, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers will attack you. You may not be able to defend Jizhou?"

"Hey……"

Yang Er put down the water bag in his hand and the half-eaten bread, heaved a long sigh, nodded, paused and shook his head again.

Geng Jinhua was puzzled and said, "What does that mean, Mr. Xiang?"

Yang Er pointed to Jizhou City, and said with a smile: "Jizhou City is only a small place. If the Liao people want to attack the city, a hundred thousand soldiers are enough to block the surrounding walls of Jizhou City. No matter how many people It's just adding oil, and it won't play much role.

So let alone Han Derang's return to aid, even if Brother Yeluxiu sent all the soldiers and horses from Youzhou City, it would not help, at most it would be a waste of food and grass. "

Geng Jinhua was even more puzzled now, "Then what are you worried about?"

Yang Er looked northeast, and said quietly: "I'm worried about Shi Shouxin in Yuguan."

"Are you worried about Shi Shouxin's safety?"

Yang Er shook his head, "I'm not worried about Shi Shouxin's safety. What I'm worried about is that once Han Derang withdraws from Yuguan, Shi Shouxin will be let go. Shi Shouxin may not counterattack Han Derang, but may withdraw from Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures , Hurry back to Bianjing City."

Hearing this, Geng Jinhua was shocked and said: "Shi Shouxin suffered such a big loss in Yuguan, won't he take revenge on Han Derang?"

Yang Er sighed: "Compared to the wealth and honor in Bianjing, this bit of enmity is nothing..."

Geng Jinhua's eyes widened, and she murmured to herself, "You mean, Shi Shouxin is in a hurry to go back and get a share when the new emperor ascends the throne?"

Yang Er nodded and said: "Originally, there was only Cao's family left in the Great Song Dynasty. Now we have indirectly saved Shi Shouxin, and there is another top general. At the time when the new emperor ascended the throne, Shi Shouxin led the army at this time. Returning, the right to speak will naturally be higher, and the benefits that can be obtained will naturally be greater."

If it were the former Yang Er, it would be difficult to see this.

Ever since Yang Er served as the Grand Marshal of the Southern Kingdom's army and horses, and truly held the power of a country's soldiers and horses, he naturally learned about the struggle of interests and the planning of interests in all aspects.

Geng Jinhua lowered her face and said angrily, "Why is this man like this? If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have saved him."

Yang Er couldn't help laughing, "We saved him just incidentally. Even without him, we have to come to Jizhou City."

Geng Jinhua asked unwillingly: "Even so, we can use the kindness of saving his life to negotiate with him and ask him to come and help?"

Yang Er smiled wryly: "It is precisely because I wrote to him early about the matter of the Liao Kingdom, but he did not respond, that my husband had to prepare for the worst."

Geng Jinhua said: "Master, didn't you just say that no matter how many people from the Liao Kingdom came, they would not be able to capture Jizhou City from you, so what are you worried about?"

Yang Er sighed and said: "The Liao army can't take Jizhou City, so naturally it is impossible to hoard hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jizhou, and it is very likely that they will send troops south and go straight into Youzhou City.

At that time, the seventh brother will be in danger.

Therefore, the husband is not worried about himself, but the husband is worried about the seventh brother.

Although the Seventh Brother is commanding the most powerful troops in the Southern Kingdom and the four northwest prefectures, the number of troops is too small after all.

Once the Liao army invaded the territory, the disadvantage of the seventh brother's small number of soldiers and horses was exposed.

The heavy armored cavalry is certainly strong, and the artillery of the Zhentian Battalion is sharp. Can they hold down 20 Liao troops, can they hold down [-] Liao troops?
What if the number of the Liao army reaches 50? "

Hearing this, Geng Jinhua gasped, and unconsciously looked in the direction of Youzhou City.

After she understood the situation clearly, she also began to worry about Yang Qi.

After a few days.

What Yang Er said has all come true.

Since Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu were forced to return to Youzhou City, Brother Yeluxiu fell under the trap of the rat and had to order all directions to help.

Even if he had doubts about Han Derang in his heart, he could not give Han Derang an order to lead the troops to attack Jizhou, so as to prevent Yang Qi's troops from forming a siege.
