Chapter 328: The Empty City Scheme (Part 2)

What is this situation? The Liao soldiers under the city were stunned, especially the distorted faces on the head of the city that were still bleeding. The twisted faces were still expressing their silent fear. Although this commander and his guards were arrogant and as if they were no one around, they had a real skill to accompany them. People could not control them at all. Now, they entered the enemy city with great swagger, and then they were demolished and chopped down. Who is the sacred place in this city?

The little leader of the Liao army's outpost did not dare to neglect and quickly reported the situation. Soon Xiao Lang, the chief general of the Liao army's vanguard, came to the city of Daizhou and visited it in person.

Xiao Lang immediately ordered someone to pull Sang Gui's inner brother-in-law and said viciously: "Didn't you say that your brother-in-law has made up your mind to surrender? Why is there no movement now and he doesn't come out to greet us! Did your brother-in-law regret it?! You must answer my question honestly, otherwise your life will not be saved!"

Sang Gui's brother-in-law bowed his head repeatedly, wishing he could shake his tail and show his loyalty, so he heard him say loudly: "How could it be, how could it be?! My brother-in-law is a famous honest man, how could he regret it?! Everyone is looking forward to the Liao Dynasty coming here and bringing us wealth and honor! In this abnormal situation, is it that the Later Zhou army arrived in Daizhou City first and sent a large group of troops to strictly monitor my brother-in-law, which is why the current situation is happening!"

Xiao Lang nodded gently. This guy said something. Maybe it was true. Xiao Lang then called a centurion and asked him to escort Sang Gui's brother-in-law to lead his army to the city to find out the truth and reality of the city. The centurion rushed into the city carefully, but was not attacked. He was very happy and continued to use the captive body to protect himself, urging his subordinates to hurry up and seize the land.

Seeing that the Liao army was about to successfully occupy the vital points of the South Gate, Sang Gui's brother roared and suddenly crashed into the city wall next to him. The Liao army was only wary of him breaking away from the rope and running away. He never expected that this guy would actually commit suicide. He caught him off guard and let the guy die successfully.

Sang Gui, who was ambushing in the dark, rushed up almost roaring and chopped the centurion into two pieces with a big axe! The crossbowmen who were ambushing nearby also took action, and the dense bows and arrows made the Liao soldiers who were skilled in archery and horses not have time to dodge, and fell one by one under the city wall!

Soon, Sang Gui and Dong Zunhui stood in the city tower at the north gate, and heard Sang Gui shout loudly: "I, Sang Gui, are here, who dares to come and die?"

Xiao Lang was furious when he heard Sang Gui's rampant shouts. He looked around and saw that everyone was retreating a little and did not dare to step forward. He was even more angry.

Xiao Lang gritted his teeth and said word by word: "How many soldiers and horses can Sang Gui on the opposite side have? He is just pretending to be a god and fooling us! Everyone is the warriors of my Great Liao, and behind me are the troops of my Great Liao camp. If all the adults in the Imperial Camp know the news that everyone retreated in the last battle, I have to go and meet with the families in the Dead Camp!..."

Under Xiao Lang's coercion and inducement, the Liao army recovered a little morale and rushed up with the shield. Although Sang Gui and Dong Zunhui arranged all the archers in the city here, the Liao army was crowded after all, and it quickly broke the blockade of Zhou's archers and occupied most of the city gates.

In this case, Dong Zunhui naturally would not fight against the Liao army, and quickly led his troops to retreat and fought street battles with the Liao army. Everyone took advantage of their familiarity with the roads and used streets and alleys to divide the scale of the enemy's army, forming an advantageous situation of fighting less in the local area. Catching the Liao army would be a fierce beating.

Xiao Lang only lost four or five hundred people and realized the harm of the street fighting. He was also surprised to find that there were almost no people living in the entire Daizhou city, and many people's homes were sealed and moved completely.

Xiao Lang smiled slightly and knew the plans of Sang Gui and others. He wanted to use these means to delay my march and cover the evacuation of the people. You are too young! Xiao Lang sneered and ordered: "Leave five hundred people to monitor the movements of the enemy in the city. All the remaining soldiers will follow me around the city and do not have to enter the city!"

Xiao Lang had more than 3,000 people at this time. Even if 500 people were left to monitor, he could still call on the strength of a soldier (2,500 people). Dong Zunhui and Sang Gui's coalition were only more than 2,000 people. Moreover, behind Xiao Lang was the main force of the Liao army. If it delayed for a long time, when the main force of the Liao army arrived, everyone would be even less of an opponent. The enemy was strong and we were weak, and fighting hard was a fool, but everyone still rushed up and bravely stopped the Liao army's war horses.

This time it was the Liao army's turn to take advantage of their skillful archery and horses, and fired variously on the defenders of Daizhou and Dong Zunhui's headquarters, constantly cutting the lives of the soldiers. Moreover, the Liao army was divided into multiple parts and attacked flexibly. When they encountered obstacles, they immediately left one to confront them. The remaining troops took a detour and continued to pursue them. In this way, all the suicide squads arranged by Sang Gui had no expected results in advance. Some of the members who participated in the suicide squad repented and revealed the situation in the army to Xiao Langhe.

Xiao Lang was very anxious when he heard that the people of Daizhou were taking their families and retreating south with all their property. Why are you running away? We just want some gold, silver and treasures to sleep with your wife and daughter! You are so stingy!

Xiao Lang then decisively led the army to pursue, and the small group of troops left by the Later Zhou army collapsed in front of them with one blow. Seeing the Liao army getting closer, Sang Gui saluted Dong Zunhui and said, "General Dong, you have promised me the future of Daizhou, saying that the people will definitely live and work in peace and the children can enjoy life. Now it is time for me, Lao Sang, to fight for this dream. I hope you can say the same thing. All of our Daizhou defenders are watching you in the sky!"

Sang Gui already knew Dong Zunhui's founding prince and knew that such a big man was the most important promise. So he would rather use his death to add insurance to his family and use his life to exchange for everyone's health.

Dong Zunhui continued to go south with tears in his eyes. He did not dare to bow his head, for fear that the tears accumulated in the corners of his eyes would slide down. Dong Zunhui could only raise his head and use his pride on his appearance to hide his inner sadness.

After repelling the Liao army's pursuit several times, Dong Zunhui's troops also slowed down. This was a battle situation that Xiao Lang had painstakingly set up. He immediately led all the troops to come over. At this moment, a large amount of smoke and dust appeared in the distance, and it was obvious that a large army came here. The large army from the south was obviously the support force of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Xiao Lang could only shake his head and lead the army to retreat.

Before the smoke and dust had dissipated, Zhang Yi and others untied the branches tied to the horse's tail, placed the seriously injured on the horse's back, and evacuated in an orderly manner under Dong Zunhui's command. Looking at Xiao Lang's troops who dared not pursue him in the distance, Dong Zunhui couldn't help laughing...
