Without even looking at the corpse on the ground, Brother Yelu Shan turned around and walked to the city gate to observe the Jurchen army approaching Hengyang County in an orderly manner in the distance.
Groups of servants dressed in various colors of armor and wearing Jurchen army banners walked in front. Jurchen cavalry on both sides were cruising on both sides with bows and arrows. Large vehicles carrying heavy armored Jurchen soldiers followed at the end. A group of guards surrounded several soldiers.
A Jurchen general whose armor was not too bright and dazzling walked behind.
Brother Yelushan frowned and sighed... He led the troops in battle and went to the battlefield in person. Except for the flags and golden drums, the generals and nobles did not show off their status with exaggeration and luxury! The generals were approachable and dignified and just, so that the soldiers under his command could fear the majesty and honor the three armies and serve their lives.
The Khitan people in the past were also like this. But now the Khitan people... are becoming more and more like the people of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty!
The emperor feasted and entertained all day long and ignored the government affairs, the nobles fought for their own affairs, and the generals were also obsessed with wealth, drinking and sex... Those southern officials had long been separated from the Khitan people and had an affair with the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens. As for the Bohai people and Tiele people who were subjugated.
The Semu people... are all a bunch of immature dogs, and the Mongolian Wanggu, Hongjira and Kle tribes... the golden bloodline... are all a bunch of immature wolves!
"It's so similar!"
A confidant guard next to Brother Yelushan raised his hands and asked: "Little Marquis, what do you look like?"
"It's really like the Khitan ancestors back then...everyone was determined to be brave and not afraid of death! Da Tu, has the inside of the city gate been decorated?"
The Khitan guard chief named Datu replied: "Our two military commanders are leading people to demolish the house. Those carriages... Mr. Marquis, those carriages are very precious! There are also those stones and..."
Brother Yelushan suddenly raised his head and looked coldly at this confidant who had been with him for more than ten years: "Are you questioning my decision?"
The captain of the guard bowed his head and knelt down, cupped his hands and replied: "Da Tu dare not, I will go down and urge the two commanders to speed up!"
"Go! I will lead my troops here to fight with these damn servants for a while... The Jurchens will not let their sparse tribesmen participate in the first wave of siege. I am confident that I can repel the first attack of these dogs.
!”
"yes!"
Tatu turned around and ran down the city wall. He loudly announced that His Highness the Third Prince was dissatisfied with the progress and ordered the hundreds of Khitan soldiers to speed up the arrangement of the facilities behind the city gate.
Soon, with the sound of a trumpet, two groups of servants with Tiele people as the vanguard and Han people as the vanguard began to charge with shields and ladders, shouting, and the Jurchen pro-army cavalry on both sides also started at the same time, holding their bows and arrows high, ready to shoot at the city wall.
To suppress the resistance of the defenders...
Behind the battlefield, surrounded by a group of Jurchen heavy-armored cavalry, Wanyan Yeli frowned and looked at the slightly broken city wall opposite.
"Didn't Tiele Pioneer say that he had killed guard Yelu Shanmin? Who is the current coach?"
"Back to the general, the deputy general from the Liao people used his connections in the harem to gain seniority in the army. I heard he was a domestic slave! It's nothing to worry about..."
Wanyan Yeli snorted disdainfully: "A few useless slaves of the prince's family have even started planning to attack Tokyo and the Liaoyang Mansion... It's really ridiculous!"
The two fierce-looking Jurchen Muke, the centurion next to them, pressed Ye Li Ling on his chest and said: "Sir Meng'an, our five hundred sons can't hold it anymore... Please give Tu Dan and Nv Xi Lie two troops."
An opportunity... The heavy armored soldiers broke open the city gate of Hengyang County last time! If we do it again, we can rush in..."
Another person next to him said with a red face: "Master Meng'an, let us go to battle!"
Wanyan Yeli did bring 5,000 soldiers, but in fact, only 2,000 of these 5,000 people were real Jurchen soldiers... The remaining 3,000 were auxiliary soldiers! Although most of them were Jurchens, they were
It is mainly used to assist regular soldiers in combat.
The Jurchen soldiers have more than one man and many horses, and they come and go like the wind. They are fierce and powerful. Some Jurchen soldiers can be equipped with two or even three auxiliary soldiers behind them! The fastest chance for the auxiliary soldiers to become regular soldiers is when the main soldiers die in battle.
If you have merit, you can advance and become a regular soldier!
Now is the early stage of the expansion of the Jurchen army. The vast majority of the auxiliary soldiers behind the Jurchen soldiers are mainly Jurchens from small tribes. Their actual combat power can still suppress the ordinary northern barbarians, far exceeding that of the Song Dynasty and Xixia
soldiers.
Now the two thousand cavalrymen galloping in front and constantly throwing rain of arrows at the top of the city are the deputy soldiers behind the Jurchen army!
On top of the city, Brother Yelushan himself raised a door panel to resist the continuous flying arrows. Two thousand Jurchen cavalry ran closer and closer. Brother Yelushan saw the opportunity and waved his hand to a Baidu who was running back and forth with a shield.
The captain asked: "How much have you collected?"
The percent replied: "We have collected two thousand small ones!"
Even though Brother Yelushan was prepared, he was still shocked by the Jurchen archers' rate of fire...
With this speed and distance, even though the defenders no longer have any crossbows to counterattack, the rate of fire is still terrifying!
Brother Yelu Shan calculated that the best pro-army soldiers in the South Court Palace, even if they only shoot flatly, can shoot at most three arrows in this period of time...According to the probability of one or two arrows being recovered, these female true relatives
During this period, each of the soldiers shot at least five to seven arrows!
Brother Yelushan gritted his teeth and roared: "Gather three hundred of the best archers to the west wall. One archer and two shield bearers will cover you. Look at my flag... shoot these one thousand arrows in ten breaths."
Go out... If there are any that cannot be completed, behead them on the spot! Attack the middle section of the Jurchen cavalry!"
"As you command!"
The Jurchen deputy cavalry on the left fired five rounds, during which the horses did not pause or panic at all. At this time, the front team had already circled and turned, the rear team had not yet fired their bows and arrows, and the riders in the middle were aiming at the city head...
Suddenly, a big flag was waved above the city gate, and a scarred shield was raised above the city wall on the west side!
"Don't panic, those Khitan dogs don't have bows and arrows anymore... they can only throw stones like children... Hahahaha..."
A Jurchen Muke waved his arms to encourage his soldiers and laughed at the Khitan soldiers on the city wall.
Suddenly, a hail of arrows shot out, heading straight for the arrogant and domineering Jurchen in the middle of the team to defeat him!
"Ah! Ha... fight back! Shoot back and fight back! Also..."
A wave of arrows came straight towards Muke, who was suspected to be a Jurchen officer, and instantly shot the somewhat complacent Muke to the ground, including his man and his horse!
In the distance, Meng'an general Wanyan Yeli, who was sitting on his horse, slapped the saddle bridge in front of him: "Asshole, you are just a waste! The Jurchens never leave their prey alive when hunting... A blind tiger can also jump.
Get up and bite the hunter’s head in pieces! Damn it… Damn it!”
Along with a few guards behind him, this 100% commander... who was said to be a heroic man commanding a thousand Jurchen cavalry just now, now brought several Jurchens behind him to meet the King of Hell! The remaining few
Deputy Mou Ke took the opportunity to issue orders. For a moment, the Jurchen cavalry on the left began to fire wildly, and then quickly left and hid out of the range of the arrows...
A horn sounded, like thunder rolling in the low-altitude clouds...
The siege team of 10,000 servants who had been standing there for a long time suddenly let out a roar and roar like beasts, then raised their shields and ladders and ran towards the city wall!
