Chapter 126: Bloody Battle at Yanmen (Subscription Request)
"kill!"

The shouts of killing that resounded through the sky rang out above the battlefield, and the vibration of the horses' hooves on the ground made countless pieces of gravel dance.

Yanmen Pass.

Above the city wall, smoke billowed, accompanied by a strong smell of blood, spreading over an area of ​​dozens of miles.

Corpses could be seen everywhere, some of them still had their eyes wide open, their hands tightly grasping steel knives, and their armor shot into hedgehogs by arrows.

The military flag of the Song Dynasty was erected on the city wall. Although it was damaged, it was still standing, fluttering in the cold wind!
At this moment, there were constant shouts and screams, countless soldiers were running on the city walls, arrows were flying down from the sky, and rubble was constantly thrown towards the bottom of the city walls.

Below, countless Liao troops were frantically moving towards the city wall, trying to climb up the wall with ladders. Gate-breaking vehicles were also moving towards the city gate under the cover of a large number of shield soldiers.

Three hundred meters away, the Liao army was watching everything in front of them. One hundred thousand men, all dressed in armor, rode quietly on their war horses, not startled by the strong smell of blood and the shouts of killing.

"Marshal, our Han army has already lost more than 10,000 men. Their morale is low and I'm afraid they won't be of much use."

Yelu Zhongde sneered: "No hurry, it doesn't matter if all 30,000 Han troops die."

"These 30,000 men were originally meant to consume the elite troops at Yanmen Pass. When they are exhausted and unable to fight, that will be the day when our Liao army will break through Yanmen Pass."

"Also, pass the order down, anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

"All archers, draw your bows and draw your arrows. If you see anyone running away from the battlefield, shoot him!"

"promise!"

On the top of the Yanmen Pass tower, Yanmen defender Han Zailin (sorry, I searched on Baidu for two hours and couldn’t find a decent general during the reign of King Zhezong, so I had to make one up...), stared with bloodshot eyes at the people of Yanyun who were constantly attacking the city below. These were all Han people!

At this moment, he was driven here by the people of the Liao Dynasty to be cannon fodder.

Although I feel reluctant, I am more angry at this moment!
As Han people, they are unable to recapture Yanyun. Now, in the midst of a great war, it is the Han people of Yanyun who are used as cannon fodder. The Liao Dynasty is shameless!
"General, we are running out of arrows, our weapons have been severely damaged, and our logistics are still on the way..."

"What are the casualties in the past few days?"

"There are only about 6,000 people left who can fight. If we continue to waste time like this, we can only hold out for seven days at most!"

"enough!"

Han Zailin's eyes darkened. "The 50,000 troops sent by the government are already on the way and will arrive within seven days."

"Tell the brothers, if you don't have enough arrows, then fight hand-to-hand!"

"Order the people in Yanmen Pass to help make wooden arrows and carry stones to the bottom of the tower."

"Report!"

"General, the leader of the Beggars' Sect in Guannei, Qiao Feng, is leading a thousand Beggars' Sect disciples to come and help us!"

"Go, call Boss Qiao!"

Han Zailin was delighted. The arrival of these people from the martial arts world could at least extend the time by two days!

Soon, Qiao Feng was brought to the city wall. Looking at the tragic scene on the top of the city wall and then the battlefield below, it was like a meat grinder. The strong smell of blood made people nauseous.

The smell of the burnt corpse was enough to make one feel intoxicated.

"General Han!"

"Thank you, Boss Qiao, for bringing people to help us. I'll make it short for now."

Qiao Feng nodded heavily: "General Han has given us instructions on what we, the Beggars' Sect disciples, need to do."

"I heard that Master Qiao is extremely powerful. Can you lead these 1,000 Beggars' Sect disciples to charge into the Liao army?"

Han Zailin looked straight at Qiao Feng and said, "This general wants you to drag the Liao army into the battlefield!"

"The military equipment inside the pass has been damaged quite a bit, and there are not enough medicines or doctors. If we continue to be consumed by these miscellaneous soldiers, and wait until they are exhausted, it will be much easier for the Liao army to break through the pass."

"Only by dragging them into the battlefield and killing them outside the city can we delay time."

"According to the news, the 50,000-strong imperial army will take at least seven days to arrive!"

Qiao Feng glanced at the densely packed Liao army not far away, at least a hundred thousand people!

His Beggars' Sect had a thousand disciples, and although they all knew some martial arts, it was simply impossible for them to lead an army of 100,000 into the battlefield.

Therefore, he could only take action.

"Okay, Qiao agreed!"

"Thank you!"

Han Zailin took a deep breath and said, "Boss Qiao, two days. This general will give you two days to drag them into the battlefield!"

"it is good."

Qiao Feng left the city wall, gathered the Beggars' Sect disciples, and left Yanmen Pass one by one from another city wall.

Han Zairin called the herald and said, "Give orders to everyone to stop shooting arrows and save the arrows."

"Draw your sword and prepare for the battle on the stairs."

"Remember, this general does not want to see any enemy standing on the Yanmen Gate of our Song Dynasty intact!"

"promise!"

Following the herald's order, the arrows in the sky disappeared in an instant, and on the city wall, the sound of countless steel knives being unsheathed was heard.

When the Han army below saw this, some of them roared.

"They're out of arrows!"

“No more arrows!!!”

"Charge! The first one to reach the summit will be rewarded with 100 gold coins and given a fiefdom!"

"kill!"

In an instant, the sounds of fighting on the battlefield became even more intense. Countless ladders climbed up the city walls frantically. Many soldiers below pulled out arrows from their dead colleagues and shot them at the Song army on the city walls!
As time passed, someone climbed up the city wall and chopped off his head with a knife. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, bones shattered, and his body fell down and turned into a pool of soft meat.

For a while, there was a hand-to-hand fight on the city wall, with white knives going in and red knives coming out, it was extremely brutal.

Three hundred meters away, Yelu Zhongde watched this scene with a smile in his eyes.

"It seems that the Song people's weapons were not provided in time. Now we have to rely on hand-to-hand combat, and the casualties will be even more severe."

"Give orders to this Marshal to recuperate for the next two days. After two days, we will go out to fight and break through Yanmen Pass!"

"Yes!"

……

Riding on the galloping horse, Zhou Yi never stopped whipping the BMW under his crotch. The horse was covered in bloody sweat, and its buttocks were covered with deep whip marks. Its breathing sounded like an old bellows.

After a day and a half of traveling nearly a thousand miles, the horse under his crotch was already broken. If it had not been nourished by magic power along the way, it would have been broken by now.

After Zhou Yi whipped the horse for the last time, the horse ran a mile, spit out blood foam from its mouth, and fell to the ground.

Zhou Yi flashed and landed in front of the horse, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Don't be a beast of burden in your next life."

A palm pressed directly on BMW's chest, instantly shattering his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he was now at least five hundred miles away from Yanmen. Five hundred miles, at his own speed, would be enough for one day!

But I am afraid that the mana consumption will not be proportional to the recovery.

But Zhou Yi had no time to hesitate at this time. He was moving very fast and even met 50,000 troops of the imperial court on the way.

There was no other way. They were all infantrymen, wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms, and with the heavy food and fodder, marching a hundred miles a day was considered fast.

It will take at least seven days to reach Yanmen.

Zhou Yi was afraid that it would be too late. By the time Yanmen Pass was breached, that would be a disaster!

The power of heaven and earth around him was turbulent. He moved his feet and instantly appeared more than ten feet away, then disappeared from sight in the next instant.

The surrounding scenery kept receding, and Zhou Yi was moving faster than a horse.

-

As night fell, Yanmen Pass became quiet, but flames shot up into the sky. On the entire city wall, a large number of soldiers collapsed to the ground, their hands shaking uncontrollably.

His armor was covered in blood, which was sticky and smelly, and one could even see a lot of flesh stuck to the armor.

Many people had gaping holes in their sabers, and some even had broken sabers in their hands.

But without exception, almost everyone ate dirty dry food and drank warm hot water. No one spoke because they were too tired.

Han Zailin was wrapped in gauze and looked pale. He looked at the soldiers on the four walls and sighed, "Give the order to slaughter a hundred sheep tonight to make sure everyone can have a bite of meat."

"Also, the people who take over the shift must be arranged well, and no mistakes can be made."

"Yes."

But just when all the soldiers on the city walls were resting, a low and dull horn sounded.

"Woo woo..." Immediately afterwards, countless dull sounds of war drums echoed above the battlefield!
"Night fight, night fight!!!"

In an instant, the originally exhausted soldiers on the city wall stood up holding the city wall, holding steel knives.

Under the city wall, a large number of Han troops began another night attack.

"Aren't they tired?"

This thought was echoing in many soldiers' minds, but they had no time to think about it. They mechanically raised their hands and swung their swords!

Pfft!

Blood spurted onto his face and eyes, blurring his vision, but he was still swinging the knife frantically!

We cannot lose this battle!

Once Yanmen Pass is breached, the 100,000 Liao cavalry will be able to move freely in their territory, and their families, people, and country will all suffer unimaginable harm.

If you want to die, let them die!

They are soldiers!
They are soldiers defending our country!

Soldiers should serve the country, their family, and the people!

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

Han Zailin shouted loudly, and in an instant, hoarse roars rang out from the entire city wall.

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

"kill!"

……

"How tenacious! The border troops of the Song Dynasty are indeed quite brave."

Yelu Zhongde sighed softly: "Since they are so brave, let's send them off."

"Give the order, draw the bow and draw the arrow, advance a hundred steps, and shoot three times."

"promise."

As the sound of horse hooves rang out in the middle of the night, Han Zailin killed an enemy soldier on the city wall. Suddenly, he saw at least three thousand archers not far away, and they instantly drew their bows and drew their arrows.

His eyes widened and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Dodge the arrow!"

In an instant, whistling sounds exploded in the darkness, arrows fell on the city walls, and screams were heard one after another. Both the Song army and the enemy army were frantically dodging at this moment.

But more Song soldiers didn't care about the arrows at all. They would kill the enemies in front of them even if they died!
We must never let anyone succeed first!

After three rounds of shooting, the battle continued. Quarter of an hour later, another round of arrow rain came.

After this was repeated three times, all the first people to climb the city wall were killed, and the Song army lost more than 2,000 people, including the wounded.

"General, let's change the troops. The people on the city wall can't hold on any longer."

"Yes, General. If we don't change our personnel, even if we survive tonight, our manpower will be greatly reduced."

Han Zairin yelled, "Get lost! If we change people now, how are we going to survive for the next few days?"

"Those two thousand people will be our support for the last two days!"

"How many of you can still fight and wield a sword now?!"

"More than 3,600 people."

"That's enough. These people can hold on for two more days. That's enough."

"I know what you are thinking, but once Yanmen Pass is breached, the Liao cavalry will march straight down!"

"Everyone is afraid of death, but this general is here to die with you!"

But just when the air was silent, a voice was heard.

"die?"

"You all have to return alive, I said so!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the city wall. Zhou Yi looked at the seven or eight captains and generals present with a slightly pale face.

"This is Hou Zhou Yi!"

"Take a good rest today, and leave everything to me."

"Does the Marquis have any proof?"

Han Zailin showed a look of suspicion on his tired face, and saw Zhou Yi directly threw out the token at his waist.

"Look carefully, I am the loyal and brave marquis, Zhou Yi!"

"The imperial army is less than 500 miles away from Yanmen. Reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Besides, the defense can be changed tonight."

"This is a military order. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"

"Loyal and Brave Marquis, I'm not questioning you, but if we change our guard at this moment, we can only hold out for three days at most. Will the army arrive after three days?"

"Three days is enough."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi waved his sleeves, and suddenly all the people in the field fell asleep.

Only the herald officer was left: "Go and tell everyone to change guard."

"Yes."

Soon, all the uninjured soldiers were stationed on the city defenses. Zhou Yi glanced at the fire not far away. It was the Liao army camp.

"Thank goodness we made it."

The smell in the air was truly disgusting, with corpses strewn all over the ground and the miserable state of the Song army. He was glad that he didn't listen to Zhao Xu's nonsense.

When they came again three days later, even if Yanmen was held, the subsequent 50,000 troops were unable to resist the Liao army in such a hurry.

What's more, compared with the inland garrison troops, the border troops understand everything.

Fifty thousand men, I'm afraid that the current ten thousand troops here can't match them.

He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the wall, and slowly adjusted his breath. After rushing all the way here, his magic power was consumed greatly and his breath became turbulent.

After a moment, Zhou Yi let out a breath, his eyes flashed, and he instantly disappeared from the city wall.

It's already late at night, so I can poison him while we're having breakfast!
For Zhou Yi, a distance of several hundred meters was easy. As soon as he entered the Liao army camp, he felt that there was a master, a grandmaster, in the camp!

Is the Liao Dynasty so outrageous?

Zhou Yi was a little confused. How could they send a grandmaster to accompany the army?
If that is the case, why not have the Grandmaster assassinate the commander of Yanmen Pass so that they can break through Yanmen Pass in minutes?

Could it be that there is still a spirit of agreement?

He was a little speechless, but did not alarm the master. He did not have enough magic power now. If he tried to kill a master by force, it would be difficult to escape if he was surrounded, unless he set a fire. But if he did that, the gain would outweigh the loss.

After all, there are 100,000 war horses, which is an important reserve resource.

Zhou Yi sneaked into the military camp kitchen and was about to poison the food when he saw a dark shadow acting stealthily with a very familiar aura.

He instantly came behind this person and put his hand on his shoulder.

Qiao Feng suddenly turned around and slapped Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi grabbed his wrist and said, "Brother Qiao."

"Brother Zhou, you are here too?!"

Zhou Yi smiled and whispered, "I just arrived at Yanmen, so I came here to take a look."

"Let's go, the Liao army has some stored water, let's poison the water."

"Hey, you and I are thinking the same thing."

The two of them sneakily found several huge water tanks. Just as Qiao Feng was about to release the poison, Zhou Yi grabbed his hand.

"Let me do it. Your poison is not as good as mine."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi squeezed out a few drops of blood from his fingertips which merged into the water, leaving Qiao Feng stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Are you poisonous?"
