Old man Yang's son is called Yang Dazhi, a very forthright man in his thirties, with a medium build, but very strong, with explosive muscles all over his body, like a leopard.
Yang Dazhi is the most famous hunter within a few dozen miles. He has been hunting in the mountains with his father since he was fourteen years old. He has been hunting for twenty years and is very familiar with various situations in the mountains.
"The county lieutenant came to our village this afternoon, and I happened to be not at home. He found two other hunters and asked to lead Jin Bing, but the two hunters refused to lead the way for Jin Bing, so the county lieutenant took their families away."
The information brought by Yang Dazhi is very important, which means that the Jurchen cavalry has not withdrawn, and it is very likely that the Jurchen reinforcements are coming to Linyou County.
Chen Qing asked again: "If we want to retreat to Jingyuan Road, is it feasible at this time?"
Yang Dazhi nodded and said with a smile: "It is feasible at the moment, but it will start to snow in half a month. If the snow is not heavy, it will be okay. I am afraid of a heavy snowstorm, and the roads will definitely be closed."
"Can the war horse pass?"
Yang Dazhi looked troubled, "This can be said to be completely impossible. All three roads have to climb over rocks, and there are more than one place. The war horses will definitely not be able to pass."
Chen Qing thought for a moment and then asked: "Is this possible? For example, in a valley or an open area, we can hide in the mountains with our horses and wait until it snows before returning to the military camp."
Yang Dazhi smiled bitterly and said: "There are two places to hide, but I can tell the general that these two places are not difficult to find. Almost all hunters know that if the Song Army's horses disappear, then the Jurchens will
Know where the general is."
"I see!"
Chen Qing stood up and asked Yang Dazhi to rest. He immediately ordered all soldiers to stop working and rest...
At dawn, Wanyan Huonv led an army of six thousand to Linyou County. The six thousand cavalry were overwhelming and murderous. Xiao Yantuo had been waiting at the city gate to greet him. He clasped his fists on his horse and saluted: "I see you as the captain of ten thousand men for your humble duty."
!”
"What's the situation with that Song army?" Wanyan Huonv asked coldly.
"Reporting back to Captain Ten Thousand, they are in Qilin Army Stronghold. From various intelligence analysis, it should be them. They are lowly subordinates monitoring the valley. They have not left yet."
"How's the combat effectiveness?"
"Yesterday, I tried to attack Qilin Village and lost more than 500 Han troops. The opponent is well-trained and is a formidable enemy!"
Xiao Yantuo's attitude made Wanyan Huonv very satisfied. He said calmly: "The emperor has decreed that anyone who captures this person alive or sacrifices his head will be sealed to ten thousand households. General Xiao, this is your chance!"
Xiao Yantuo felt awe-struck in his heart and knew that he had to go all out today.
"I will do my best to help you!"
"very good!"
Wan Yan Huo Nu turned her sharp eyes to Li Boliang, "Are you the county magistrate?"
Li Boliang had already heard Wanyan Huonv's murderous reputation. He was frightened and said: "My humble position is County Magistrate Li Boliang!"
"Prepare 10,000 sheep and 2,000 shi of grain for the army before noon. If you are late, the whole family will be killed!"
Li Boliang felt a heat in his crotch, which made him pee.
Wanyan Huonu ignored him and ordered Xiao Yantuo: "Lead the way to Qilin Village!"
"Follow the order!"
Xiao Yantuo led the way with 500 cavalrymen, followed by 6,000 troops, heading towards Qilin Village in a mighty manner...
Li Boliang's legs went weak and he was about to fall. Du Jin, his staff member, quickly supported him and said, "County Lord, please take care of yourself!"
Li Boliang was about to cry but said without tears: "Where can I go to find 10,000 sheep in one morning? There are only 1,000 shi of grain in the county warehouse. They can trap and kill me!"
"County Lord, many people must have sheep. We can only search them from house to house. If there are really not that many sheep, we can use pigs and cows to top them, or use chickens, ducks and geese to make up the number. As for grain, several grain shops can collect it."
Come on, I should be able to get it together."
Li Boliang could do this after thinking about it. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Let Qiao's Livestock lose everything to buy sheep, and that bastard named Wang, say he is a Song Army spy, catch me and behead him in public!"
...........
In the military stronghold room, several generals gathered together.
Chen Qing said to everyone: "The main force of the Jin soldiers has arrived, about six to seven thousand people. Now we need to make a decision, whether to fight the Jin soldiers, or to conserve our strength and evacuate first. I want to hear everyone's opinions."
Yang Hua raised his hand and said: "I discussed this issue with the brothers last night. The brothers all agreed that they would rather die in battle than run away from the battle."
"Xin Dutou, where are you?"
Dutou Xinlie smiled and said: "Jin Bing really thinks highly of us. He sent six to seven thousand people here. I really feel sorry for them if we don't play with them."
"What's Zheng Ping's opinion?" Chen Qing asked the boss Zheng Ping again.
Zheng Ping smiled slightly and said: "This is a good deal. I only know that we will never suffer a loss!"
The other two captains also unanimously stated that they are willing to fight the enemy to a decisive battle and will never withdraw!
Everyone's opinions were completely unanimous, which was expected by Chen Qing. After everyone dispersed, deputy general Yang Yuanqing reminded Chen Qing: "Although the brothers are willing to fight to the death, this is only their wish. As the commander-in-chief, the general must remain rational."
Chen Qing nodded. As a general, he really needed to find a balance between a decisive battle and the annihilation of the entire army.
.........
"Woo——"
The horn of Qilin Village sounded, and more than 400 Song soldiers quickly gathered. Chen Qing stood on a big rock and shouted to everyone: "I just got the news that six to seven thousand gold soldiers are coming to kill, all of them are cavalry, and we only have four
One hundred and thirty-five people, each person has to deal with an average of more than a dozen people. It sounds incredible, but it really happened. We have a way out, and we can walk through the mountains.
But why don't we leave? I believe all brothers think the same as me. We are soldiers, and soldiers will never escape in the face of battle. We want to make Qilin Village a nightmare for the Jurchens, and let the Jurchens understand that those who stand in front of them are upright and upright.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty..."
Chen Qing raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, you have great ambitions to eat the meat of Huns, laugh and drink the blood of Huns, and kill Jurchen Tatars!"
Every soldier's blood boiled, and they raised their arms and shouted together, "The Tatars who killed the Jurchen——"
The loud shouts soared into the sky.
.........
Six thousand five hundred Jin soldiers rushed into the valley and set up camp at the foot of the mountain. Wanyan Huonv looked up at the road up the mountain. He had participated in the battle to attack Shangjing in the Liao Kingdom. It was the most important battle.
The arduous siege battle was still fresh in Wanyan Huonv's memory. When he saw this winding mountain road, he immediately realized that this would also be a brutal battle.
The opponent only has a few hundred people. If it were normal, these hundreds of Song troops would not be worth his effort to fight hard, but now it is the revenge of killing his father, and he will seize the opponent at all costs. Even if the six thousand troops are exhausted, he will still be there.
No matter what!
"Xiao Qianhu, you lead 2,000 men in the first battle. If you can reach the top of the mountain, I will count it as your first achievement and guarantee that you will be promoted to the next level!"
Xiao Yantuo quickly bowed and said: "I humbly obey the order!"
He has been pushed to the limit, and there is no room for him to say no. He is very aware of Wanyan Huonv's cruelty, and also knows the unfinished words in the other party's words. What if he can't attack the top of the mountain?
Wan Yan Huo Nu was overjoyed and shouted sternly: "Blow the drum for me!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The earth-shaking war drums beat. Xiao Yantuo is wearing heavy armor, holding a shield and a spear. He will go out to fight in person. Behind him are two thousand Khitan soldiers. It is normal. After the Han people have fought all, it will be the Khitan's turn.
People.
The equipment of the Khitan soldiers was better than that of the Han army. Although they were also leather armors, each of them held a shield and a spear. They formed a long team, held their shields high, and fought step by step along the mountain road to the top of the mountain.
Looking down from above, all we can see is an undulating shield. The soldier is hiding under the shield, like a pangolin covered with scales.
The Song army focused on defending the last slope up the mountain. Most of the soldiers were concentrated on this slope. Here, the best effect could be achieved by rolling huge trees down the slope below.
Moreover, five defense lines were built on the slope. The first line of defense was at the bottom turn of the slope, and then every twenty steps was a defense line made of mud bags, with openings left in advance to facilitate the retreat of the soldiers below.
Chen Qing stared at the two thousand enemy troops crawling up like worms. It was very interesting. The two rows of soldiers in the front raised their shields to resist the crossbows in front, while the soldiers in the back held their shields above their heads.
Yang Yuanqing whispered: "General, if the height is high enough, the arrows can penetrate the Jurchens' shields!"
Chen Qing agreed with this judgment. Although he had no experience in this area, a military arrow weighed two kilograms. The higher it fell, the stronger the impact. A wooden shield could not block the impact of the military arrow.
"Prepare the city defense bow!"
There are a total of two hundred and fifty city-defending bows, each equipped with ten large army arrows. These are sharp weapons obtained from the Qishan County warehouse. Unfortunately, they do not have the bed crossbow that Chen Qing has been longing for.
Two hundred and fifty soldiers stood ready with their bows and arrows ready...
Two thousand soldiers entered the third ramp, which was five ramps away from the top of the mountain. There was still a height of 60 meters from the top of the mountain, equivalent to a twenty-story building. This height was enough to shoot through enemy shields.
"Fire the arrows!" Chen Qing gave the order to fire.
The two hundred and fifty soldiers are all masters of foot and bow training and have a good sense of distance.
Two hundred and fifty soldiers' arrows were shot out at the same time, drawing arcs in the air and shooting straight towards the top of the golden soldier's head...
'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!'
Powerful arrows fell like raindrops, and the shields cracked or were directly pierced. The arrows continued to penetrate the armor of the soldiers below. Screams came one after another, and hundreds of soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows.
Wan Yan Huo Nu's eyes were sharp, and he recalled the terrifying scene during the attack on the capital. Thousands of golden soldiers were shot through the shields and bodies by the Liao army's arrows. The soldiers fell one by one like mowing grass.
But what? The upper capital city was also captured by them.
"Keep beating the drum and let them run!"
The sound of the war drums became more urgent, 'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!' This was the sound of the drums urging the battle.
Xiao Yantuo gritted his teeth and shouted: "Come with me!"
Since the shields could not block the Song army's arrows, the Khitan soldiers also took the risk, shouting and running upwards, and the attack speed suddenly accelerated.
