Chapter 189: Opportunity to Make a Difference

A fire attack caused the Khitan camp to lose one-third of its supplies. Not only that, but also its low morale.

Yelu Shanxiu felt angry and vowed that when he took down Huangya Pass, all the soldiers in Huangya Pass must be burned to death to eliminate the hatred in his heart!

The burning of siege equipment also delayed the time for Khitan to take down Huangya Pass.

But Yelu Shanxiu couldn't wait for so long, and there were still 200,000 troops in the Great Sui Pass. Once Huangya Pass is replenished, it would be impossible to attack the city again!

It can be said that time waits for no one!

After Yelu Shanxiu analyzed the gains and losses, he summoned the generals and issued an order to attack the city overnight! Even if the Khitaner Lang's body was piled into a mountain, Huangya Pass must be taken down.

This is ready to attack!

The cost of a strong attack can be imagined, and I don’t know how many Khitan soldiers will die.

At night, the Khitan army indeed attacked. They were preparing to use the most primitive wooden ladder to attack the city at any cost.

Li Jing and Hou Wenshan had long guessed that they would attack and were ready.

The fierce battle officially began. The Khitan soldiers held shields and approached Huangya Pass. The Sui soldiers on the pass first fired crossbow arrows and threw stones. The crossbow was powerful and had a range of 500 meters. When they fell into the enemy, they could penetrate several enemies.

If the attack of the crossbow is a point, then the attack of throwing the flying stone is a face. If one smashes a large piece, even if it does not die, it will be seriously injured.

When the Khitan soldiers are closer, they are mid-range attacks and bows and arrows.

The power of bows and arrows is weaker than that of crossbows, but they are better than dense, like dense rain.

When the Khitan soldiers are closer and come to the city, they will attack in a short distance, stones, tinea oil, etc. The sourness is simply a nightmare for the Khitan soldiers!

The Khitan soldiers attacked for the first half of the night, but no one attacked the city wall, but left a pile of corpses.

Do you really plan to build a road by corpses? What a joke! Once the tinea oil is burned, the world is peaceful and there are only some bones left.

Yelu Shanxiu had a gloomy face and looked at Huangya Pass, which was brightly lit in the dark night. He knew that this pass was difficult to attack, but when he really attacked, he realized that it was even more difficult than he thought.

Even if the 200,000 army really attacks, how many people are left? Is it really necessary?

At this moment, Yelu Shanxiu set off.

But soon, his wavering idea became firm. When things go so far, he must attack! As long as he wins Huangya Pass, everything is worth it!

"Blow the horn! Keep attacking!"

Yelu Shanxiu immediately ordered.

The generals under his command did not dare to persuade him, so they could only take orders and make arrangements.

Just as the two sides were fighting in full swing, reinforcements came again in the city gate south of Huangya Pass.

Yingyang Mansions from all over the country have arrived one after another, with thousands of support, which has made Huangyaguan more confident.

Moreover, the imperial court has sent an imperial edict. The 50,000 army led by the Left Guard General will set off soon and arrive in three or four days. At that time, nearly 100,000 troops in Huangya Pass can completely counterattack and open the city gate and fight out. At that time, it will be a nightmare for the Khitan!

The battle lasted for most of the night, and both sides were exhausted. The Khitan army lost very strongly, so Yelu Shanxiu suspended the attack.

But in the early morning, Yelu Shanxiu issued another order to fight and wanted to seize Huangya Pass at any cost!

...

Yang Shuang didn't know about the war in Huangya Pass, so he was still in charge of the overall situation and treated the wounded.

Among the remaining 18,000 people, there were still 12,000 soldiers who were healthy, and their hearts were on fire.

When Yang Shuang inspected the camp and visited the wounded, some soldiers asked, "Your Highness, are we still fighting back?"

This inquiry resonated with everyone.

Some of the less injured soldiers screamed: "Your Highness, I can still fight. I want to avenge my dead brother!"

"Your Highness, you can lead us to kill us!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The enthusiasm for fighting was too intense, beyond Yang Shuang's surprise.

Yang Shuang comforted them, then immediately summoned the generals to discuss, and finally decided to select 8,000 soldiers and set off! The rest continued to take care of the wounded!

In this way, with the determination of revenge, Baqian, led by Yang Shuang, rushed towards the direction of Khitan Fuyu City.

And the eight thousand iron cavalry of Mingguang Hou traveled day and night and had entered the Khitan territory.

The 50,000 troops transferred here were naturally attacked. Gong Xuesong deliberately transferred his troops here just to make the sheep enter the tiger's mouth.

This was indeed the case. The 50,000 people are in danger, but don’t forget that when the army was divided into two groups, Yang Shuang specifically asked Li Jing to follow this army because she was worried that the 20,000 soldiers were bait.

At that time, the general of the 20,000 soldiers was Zhang Kun. This person was not Gong Xuesong's man, but the deputy sent by the court to Gong Xuesong, and a man with a goatee.

When Li Jing left, he specifically tested Zhang Kun. After confirming that he was not Gong Xuesong's man, he told Gong Xuesong's conspiracy.

Zhang Kun naturally didn't believe it, but with Li Jing's ability, was he still afraid of not accepting him?

So when Li Jing left, Zhang Kun had completely believed Li Jing.

And he was alert and knew that this was a trap. The 30,000 troops he added were not only not a burden, but instead became his reliance.

When Yang Shuang experienced a fierce battle, Zhang Kun's troops were also sneak attacked by 80,000 Khitans.

Although Zhang Kun, who was alert in advance, was at a disadvantage, but his disadvantage was not very large, so the two sides fought in a stalemate.

When Yang Su and other cavalry arrived, the battle between the two sides was not over yet.

So the Iron Cavalry immediately divided into two groups, like two wings, and surrounded them directly.

Originally, the Khitan situation was dominant and the opponent's reinforcements arrived when they were about to win.

So the Khitan was defeated, the murdered ones were defeated, and fled back to Fuyu City.

Zhang Kun lost more than 20,000 troops, and half of the troops were left, and the battle was fierce enough.

Next, Zhang Kun ordered people to treat the wounded and clean the battlefield, preparing to withdraw the troops and meet with Yang Shuang. Unexpectedly, Yang Shuang actually led 8,000 soldiers to come.

In the camp, all the generals gathered together.

Yang Shuang explained his purpose: "I brought troops to avenge the dead Great Sui Erlang! Xiao Guang and Gong Xuesong both hid in Fuyu City. It would be better if we attacked Fuyu City. It would be better if we could take Fuyu City. Are you willing to follow me?"

As soon as this was said, all the generals quickly bowed their orders: "We are willing to go!"

Fuyu City is the largest city in the southern part of the Khitan. When the Sui Dynasty was most prosperous, it did not take Fuyu City. If they took Fuyu City, it would be a great achievement to expand its territory!

Yang Shuang was quite pleased to see the generals so earnest, and then said, "If it were before, it would be difficult to capture Fuyu City, but now it is a good opportunity! Because the Khitan's 200,000 troops were attacking Huangya Pass, Gewu City, Pinglu and other places, they would have to leave some troops to garrison. Now we have tens of thousands of people killed by us. The Khitan's available troops are not much, and they have to guard the King's Capital and other areas, so the troops in Fuyu City are limited, so as long as you think of a plan, there is a certain chance to capture Fuyu City!"

"On the other side, Marquis Mingguang will send troops to retake Raole, Pinglu and other areas, destroy the Khitan soldiers there, and then attack the Khitan army south, so when we attack Fuyu City, we don't have to worry about the enemy behind us!"

"If we can take down Fuyu City, it will be the northernmost city of our Great Sui Dynasty in the future! I will also report your military achievements to Your Majesty, so that the entire Great Sui Dynasty will be proud of you! You will be the god of war in the minds of the people of the Great Sui Dynasty!"

Yang Shuang's voice was loud, inspiring all the generals.

As a soldier, who is not for the purpose of making achievements? Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, who will give up?

"Your Highness, let's hear the order!" Zhang Kun said first.

Yang Su and other iron cavalry generals also responded.

Yang Shuang nodded, then rectified the existing troops first, and assigned some soldiers to treat the minor wounded and protect the seriously injured. Then 30,000 troops officially set off and rushed to Fuyu City.

Xiao Guang and Gong Xuesong have fled back to Fuyu City, the largest city in the south of Khitan, originally had more than 100,000 troops, but now there are only more than 20,000 people.

As Yang Shuang guessed, almost all the troops were attacking Huangya Pass, and the available troops in Fuyu City are now limited.

At this time, Xiao Guang already knew that the King of the West Court, Yelu Shanxiu, had not seized Huangya Pass. Their plan failed. The King of the West Court is now siegeing the city. If he cannot conquer within these few days, then the plot outside the pass will be broken.

"It's a failure! Damn!" Xiao Guang was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Gong Xuesong also looked dazed. He betrayed so much, but he failed. If he couldn't take Huangya Pass, wouldn't the hegemony of the master be able to be completed?

Just when the two of them had their own thoughts, the scout hurriedly reported: "Sir, it's not good! More than 10,000 Sui soldiers are attacking Fuyu City! Looking at the banner they raised, it seems that they are the Ming King of the Great Sui!"

"What? Yang Shuang came to attack Fuyu City? Overestimated her abilities!" Xiao Guang said angrily.

Just like a 200,000 army cannot easily capture Huangya Pass, by the same token, it is not easy to break through Fuyu City with Yang Shuang's little force!

Unless Li Yunlong's Italian cannon is pulled out and he will directly blast open the city gate and rush in.

Xiao Guang immediately went to the southern city wall. After waiting for a long time, he finally saw the Sui soldiers who came from the south.

When the Sui soldiers approached, Xiao Guang's eyes were solemn.

Although he knew that the other party could not defeat Fuyu City, the opponent's overall momentum was extremely majestic, like an invincible general, with an invincible momentum.

At this moment, under the protection of Yang Shuang and Luo Cheng, Yang Shuang slowly approached Fuyu City and stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow.

"Xiao Guang, our Emperor Ming of the Great Sui Dynasty has arrived in person. If you don't get out to pay your respects, can you start a turtle with your head? "Han Qinhu walked directly into the range and shouted loudly.

The Khitan soldiers on the city wall were furious. Some of them had already clenched their bows and arrows and were ready to shoot Han Qinhu to death, but they were stopped by Xiao Guang.

He is a famous Khitan general and needs face. If he really doesn’t dare to see him, it means he is really afraid!

So Xiao Guang led his troops out, and both sides approached and could see each other clearly.
