"What to do? Just do it!" Yelu Dashi gritted his teeth and said, "Send the order and the front army begins to build the bridge. Then send the order to the three armies to capture the city of Yanjing. There will be no military discipline for three days!"
Musician Yelu hesitated for a moment and finally replied: "Yes!"
The Northern Liao Army began to connect the collected boats together, and then began to drive piles on the river. Their gesture of building a bridge made the Southern Liao Army on the south bank of the Luan River move.
They divided the army into "pin" shapes, serving as horns for each other, and were on guard day and night.
The Northern Liao Army's ability to build bridges was not as good as that of the Song Army, but the Luanhe River upstream was not wide. After three days, they managed to build a bridge in a haphazard manner.
As soon as the bridge was erected, Yelu Dashi sent out five thousand elite troops without hesitation to test the south bank.
These five thousand soldiers and horses are composed of Pishi troops and are extremely powerful.
They rushed across the bridge with shouts and were met with a hail of arrows. They immediately tied up their shields and advanced slowly.
The southern Liao army was surrounded by wooden deer and horses on the south bank. At this time, the horsemen charged fiercely, and there was only a dead end.
These Pishi troops, who were so famous throughout the world that even the infamous Xixia Iron Kites Army could not compare to them, turned into infantry and moved forward with great difficulty.
The arrows fly randomly, denser than a heavy rainstorm in summer. If you show your head for a moment, you will be hit by one. Although you will not die on the spot, the subsequent suffering and pain are enough to drive you crazy.
The Liao Army did not have the comprehensive battlefield rescue system of the Song Army, and most of the injured had to rely on luck and physical fitness to resist. Moreover, the mess on the arrows was enough to make the injured person go through hell.
There are some good shooters in the Pishi Army who hide behind the shield formation. When they see the opportunity, they raise an arrow and hit the target nine times out of ten. There are tough warriors, armed with swords, axes, nails and hammers, who, under the cover of their companions, shoot at the target alone.
In front of him, he fought to the death with his former comrades on the opposite side.
Move forward courageously and never retreat.
In this way, the Bei Liao army advanced little by little, advancing more than 300 steps. If they persisted for a while, the subsequent Bei Liao army could drive piles and build fences on the south bank to establish an advancing position.
"Hu-hu", a strange sound sounded in the air, and the Pishi soldiers were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were split. This was the sound of a crossbow shooting an iron arrow.
The bed crossbows are the most sophisticated ones made in the Song Dynasty, but craftsmen in Nanjing and Xijing Road of the Liao Dynasty can also make them. Although they are not as sophisticated as those in the Song Dynasty, they can kill people and shoot horses without any problems.
The iron arrow shot is like a spear, and the shield cannot stop it. If a person is shot, he will die immediately.
Dozens of crossbow iron arrows caused a burst of screams and wails. At the same time, after half an hour of fighting, the Pishi Army was almost exhausted. Finally, they could no longer bear it and began to retreat.
They are well-trained and know that they must not cause chaos at this time. Once chaos occurs, no one will be able to get back.
The rear team held up shields and held down the position together with the archers, covering the main force as they quickly passed the pontoon bridge. The rear team then slowly retreated, leaving two to three hundred men who dared to die behind, and finally all retreated to the north bank.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The Southern Liao Army burst into cheers.
They already knew that their opponent was the most elite Pishi Army of the Liao Army. After repelling these warriors, the Southern Liao Army was filled with joy and pride.
But some generals and officers of the Southern Liao Army were not happy.
The 5,000-year-old Pishi army was attacked halfway across the border, pushed forward three to four hundred steps, and almost established a forward position. They still relied on the large number of people, wheel fighting to consume the opponent's physical strength, and finally used the bed crossbow to kill them.
The weapon launched a fatal blow and was barely able to repel it.
It can be seen that compared with the Pishi army, the Southern Liao army has more soldiers, but its combat effectiveness and fighting will are indeed not as good. What's more, such an elite Pishi and Gong branch troops, there are as many as 30,000 in the Northern Liao army. If they were all put on the battlefield
How to resist the Southern Liao Army?
Seeing the 5,000 Pishi Army forwards withdrawing to the north bank, Yelu Musician could not help but spit: "What bullshit Pishi Army!"
Yelu Dashi glared at him fiercely.
After Yahe killed the Lord, the status of Pishi and Gongfenjun in the army has plummeted, and it is difficult to gain the respect of the Khitan and Xi people again. You are the most elite and toughest among the Khitan and Xi people, and you enjoy respect and the best treatment.
, should also be the emperor's most loyal eagle and dog guard, protecting his safety.
As a result, you killed the king!
Seeing Yelu Dashi's fierce gaze, Master Yelu knew that the Pishi Army still needed to work hard and could not take away this well-known fig leaf. He could only mutter a few words in frustration, followed Yelu Dashi and left the river bank, and committed suicide.
Return to base camp.
For several days in a row, Yelu Dashi took turns to leave the hide room, divide the palace into two armies, and cross the river southward with all their strength. At one time, they had occupied half of a hill on the south bank, so as to obtain the most advantageous bridgehead. They did not want to fall short under the full counterattack of the Southern Liao Army.
After such a high-intensity battle, even if the Southern Liao Army numbered 120,000, it was still exhausted. Although the Pishi and Gong branch armies did not say anything, everyone knew that it would not work if it continued like this.
"Dashi, I went to take a look around. Although the guys from Pishi and Gongfenjun didn't complain, their eyes looked like wolves trying to eat people in the wilderness. It was too scary."
"I know." Yelu Dashi replied coldly, "The two armies of Pishi and Gong were actually very regretful about being involved in the regicide. So in the past few days, they have been moving forward bravely, risking their lives, trying to cleanse themselves.
But if I eat someone once, they will eat me a second time. If this continues for a few more days, they will spread their resentment on me."
"Dashi, you already know this, why do you still do this?" Master Yelu asked in surprise.
"I just want to make them feel ashamed, feel angry, gather anger in their hearts, and then..."
"Then what?"
"Then wait!" Yelu Dashi stopped talking, "Give me the order, the battle troops in the hide room and the palace branch have worked hard, and I will give them five thousand sheep."
"Dashi!" Master Yelv said anxiously, "These are our last five thousand sheep! After eating, we can only eat the corn, and we won't be able to survive for a few days."
"I know! Now in the critical moment of Daliao, I just want to give it a try! If the official family of Song Dynasty dares to gamble, will we have no one in Daliao? I, Yelu Dashi, also dare to fight! I will fight with my wealth and life! I will fight for Daliao.
Bright future!”
Yelu Music Master was frightened by Yelu Dashi's words. After a while, he said helplessly: "Crazy, all crazy!"
After that, he turned around and carried out the order.
That night, Yelu Dashi received a secret envoy in the big tent.
"Why should I believe your master's words?" Yelu Dashi asked coldly.
The secret envoy smiled calmly and said, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you as the military envoy, and whether you do it or not is up to my master. My master, stepmother, wife, and sister were all deceived into the palace by Yelu Asi, and were captured by Yelu Hongji and Yelu Yanxizu respectively.
There is a sworn hatred between the two grandsons. Not everyone is as shameless as Uncle and Nephew Li Yan!"
"My master is willing to inform the Commander-in-Chief of such private secrets, which shows his sincerity. Regardless of whether the Commander-in-Chief is willing to cooperate or not, my Master will fight to the death and use his life to defend his dignity."
"Okay! I promise your master that we will start a fight!" Yelu Dashi was silent for a while and replied!
"Thank you, military envoy Tong!" the secret envoy said with great joy.
After discussing the details, the emissary left in a hurry under the cover of night.
Yelu musician asked Yelu Dashi doubtfully: "Dashi, do you think this person can be trusted?"
Yelu Dashi was silent for a while, and Yelu Musician replied: "I think he is willing to tell the story of humiliation, so I believe him sixty-seven times."
Yelu Dashi snorted coldly: "Musician, don't you listen to what they said with such indignation. At the beginning, there were countless people who were willing to give their wives and daughters to the late emperor and Emperor Tianzuo in order to seek glory and wealth! Not many of them, not many of them.
One. He reacted at this time because he sensed something."
"What did you notice?"
"I don't know, maybe it's something from the Song Dynasty. When the situation was changing, he thought of giving it another try. Giving help in the snow is far better than adding icing on the cake. Besides, although our side is weak, it's not like the south.
Being attacked from both sides is even more dangerous!"
"Dashi, what about us?"
"Act according to plan!" This chapter has been completed!
