Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 437

When the Jin army suddenly appeared in Yuewang City and attacked the Liao army, Mao Zilian's spies immediately reported back to Mao Zilian in Zuzhou City.

After Mao Zilian heard the news, he mobilized [-] elite soldiers and rushed to help the battle.Unexpectedly, the Jin army ended the battle so quickly, and met benefactor Ximen Qing halfway.

"Brother Zilian, you came at a good time. Wanyan Zonghan Langjun has already led the main force to Linhuang Mansion. I went to Zuzhou City to invite you to join the battle. You and I will join forces and kill Linhuang Mansion quickly." Huang Mansion!"

Ximen Qing said to Mao Zilian.

"I'm the only one who is looking forward to it, General Ximen! These [-] elite soldiers are all at the command of the general!"

Mao Zilian heard that Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Yinshuke and other famous Jurchen generals were killed together, and he knew that the victory was decided, and now was the time to make contributions.

When Ximenqing proposed to attack Linhuang Mansion, Mao Zilian immediately surrendered and handed over the command to Ximenqing.

"Brother Zilian is familiar with geography, so he quickly led our army to Linhuang Mansion. Where do you think the Liao army will withdraw after its defeat?"

Ximenqing got on his horse, joined forces with Mao Zilian, and marched towards Linhuang Mansion in a hurry.

……

Under the city of Linhuang Mansion, Xiao Yixue and Brother Yelu knew nothing about the battle that took place in Yuewang City.They commanded the Liao army and once again launched an attack on Linhuangfu City, which was defended by Lu Yanlun.

On the city wall, Lu Yanlun was dressed all over, commanding Sun Yanshou and other generals to guard against death, repelling the Liao army's repeated attacks.

Xiao Yixue's army is mainly composed of cavalry from the Heiche Shiwei Department and the Zub Department, and they can do field battles, but attacking cities and climbing walls is really not their specialty.

Yelu Mage's cavalry, mainly Khitan, is not good at attacking cities.

However, the Han army of Lu Yanlun's tribe is good at defending and attacking the city. Compared with the Liao army outside the city, it is only one to four, which is not very different for the defense of the city.

With sufficient weapons, food and grass, and sufficient equipment for defending the city, Lu Yanlun was not worried that Linhuangfu City would fall.

After all, these Liao troops did not have the abnormally strong fighting power of the Jurchens.

Therefore, although the Liao army's killing noise outside the city was loud, it did not pose much real threat to the city defense of Linhuangfu City.

The two armies fought the most, but they shot each other with bows and arrows above and below the city.

Brother Yeluma looked at the city wall of Linhuangfu City, frowned slightly, regretting that he did not lead the Han army here.

This time, because Yelu Tabuye had secretly contacted Yeluma, like Xiao Yixue, he believed that Linhuangfu City could be easily taken by the army.

The cavalry-based troops brought by Yelu Mage and Xiao Yixue were prepared to be used in field battles to guard against the counterattack of the Jin army in the direction of Ningzhou in the northeast.

How could he have thought that Yelv Tabuye failed to defend Linhuangfu City, and Lu Yanlun occupied the city, causing the Liao army to fall into a siege battle that they were not good at.

If there were resentful troops under the command of the Fourth Army Grand Master Xiao Qian in this battle, how could it be so difficult to attack the city!

Brother Yelu Ma regretted that he did not come here hand in hand with Xiao Qian, Grand Master of the Fourth Army.

However, because Xiao Qian, the Grand Master of the Fourth Army, met Yeluyu closely when he was in Zhongjing Road to suppress the rebels, it seemed that the emperor had suspicions about him.

This time, the emperor did not send Xiao Qian to lead the army to conquer Shangjing Dao, maybe there is something hidden?

Brother Yeluma was thinking about something, when suddenly a Tanma came galloping from afar.

Brother Yeluma is a strong general of the Liao army, he is not like Yeluta, a mediocre general who doesn't know how to spend a lot of time outside to scout horses.

During the siege of Linhuang Mansion, in order to prevent Mao Zilian from the west from crossing Yelutabu's wild army to attack, Yelu Mage sent several teams of far-reaching scouts to act as a cordon.

Before the detective horse rushed to the front of Brother Yeluma's army, he shouted anxiously: "It's urgent! It's urgent!"

After hearing this, the Liao army gave way to the probing horse one after another, and let him rush straight to Brother Yeluma.

Seeing this, Brother Yeluma hurried forward to meet him, and asked anxiously, "But there are enemy troops?"

"The Jurchens! The Jurchens are here! To the south, there are countless Jurchens!"

The Tanma cried out with horror on his face.

Before the horse scouting was finished, two more riders came from far away to scout the horse.

Before the two men rushed to the Liao army formation, they fell from their horses and fell unconscious.I saw that their backs were full of feather arrows.

Obviously, this team of scouts was chased by the enemy, and only three of them managed to escape.For the other scouts, I'm afraid it's more or less ominous.

"The rear army becomes the front army, line up! Line up!"

Brother Yeluma didn't have time to ask carefully, and hurriedly commanded the troops to line up to meet the enemy.

Chapter 7 and Eight

"Woo~ woo~ woo~"

While the Liao army was in a hurry to change formation, the horn of the Jin army's charge sounded in the distance.

The dark Jurchen cavalry seemed to have descended from the sky, and suddenly appeared on the hillside behind the Liao army, charging down on Yelumage's army with their guns.

Although there were scouting horses to warn, but the time was short, Yelu Mage's army hadn't changed from the siege formation to the field formation, and it was in chaos for a while.

"Don't mess! Don't mess! Left army, right army, step forward to fight."

Brother Yeluma forced himself to be calm and commanded the army to launch a counter-charge against the Jin army, while sending someone to ask Xiao Yixue for help.

After the Liao army surrounded Linhuangfu City, Yelu Mage's army was in charge of attacking the south gate and east gate, while Xiao Yixue's army was in charge of attacking the west gate and north gate.

The two armies set up camps on the southeast, northwest and four sides outside the city, and surrounded the city of Linhuangfu.

At this time, Brother Yeluma was commanding the attack from outside the south gate, while Xiao Yixue was commanding from the north gate.

When Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Yinshuke led the army to attack the city from the south suddenly, they were only facing more than [-] people from Yelumage's army in the south of the city.

Although the Liao army had more troops than the Jin army, they were scattered under the city of Linhuang Mansion at this time, unable to concentrate on defending against the enemy for a while.

Wanyan Zonghan took advantage of the weakness of the scattered forces of the Liao army, seized the opportunity, and launched a surprise attack when the Liao army attacked the city.

The elite Jurchens of the Wanyan tribe can count as ten against one. Although Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Yinshu only had 2 elite soldiers in their hands, they swept away the [-] soldiers of the Yelu Mage army with great momentum.

The army formation of the Yelu Mage army could not be fully assembled, and the counter-charges of the left and right wings could not delay the impact of the Jin army. Many soldiers who had been attacking the city on foot had only climbed on their horses, and they were smashed by the Jin army.

Wanyan Yinshu screamed strangely, brandished a mace and smashed the sky cap of the general of the left army of the Liao army with a stick, killing the left wing of the Liao army.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Brother Yeluma's handsome flag, and led his troops to kill it.

On the other side, Wanyan Yinshuke's brother Wanyan Maji also killed the leader of the right army of the Liao army and defeated the right army of the Liao army.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin led the troops to go straight to Yelu Mage's central army, wanting to capture the thief and the king, and killed the Liao army leader Yelu Mage.

The [-] Liao army was completely unable to stop the attack of the [-] elite Jin army.
