Chapter 125: Small City of Liao Kingdom

Even the deaf people heard about the arrival of the Liao army. Before the army arrived, the herdsmen from far and near fled, and the tribes hid far and wide, leaving only their own troops to deal with the Liao army. Anyway, they had no houses or fields, and when they wanted to leave, they just drove away with livestock; that was their food, which was completely different from the fact that the Han people had to rely on fields to live.

A large number of cavalry sent by Yelu Huage searched within a radius of hundreds of miles and rarely found herders and livestock. Even if there were, most of them were raised near the camps of Zhubu. A small group of Liao soldiers went there to grab cattle and sheep, which was tantamount to seeking death.

The people of the Bubu often sent a large number of cavalry to intercept the Liao army on the grassland, and fought several encounters with them, each with casualties. Although the Liao army did not suffer any major losses in the war, they could not grab livestock and food. The people in the camp were panic and their morale gradually declined.

Brother Yelu Hua could not imagine, so he could only urge the soldiers to prepare and attack the Zubu people's camp in the middle of the night. If they could defeat the Zubu people, everyone would have enough beef and mutton to eat!

Even though he said this, he still had no idea whether the attack camp was sure.

In addition, there was another thing that made him anxious.

Many of the camps in the rear were removed, and there was a gap in the transportation of military rations, which was nothing. What was important was that there was a small town further away, which stored a large amount of military rations and military supplies. As long as the military rations could be delivered there, I still hope to defend it here. Even if the camp was not successful, I would have capital. It took a long time to stop the people from jailing. Until they revealed their flaws, they would launch a fatal blow and completely defeat their alliance!

The only thing to worry about is whether my small city can be kept from being attacked by those cunning and vicious slutty slutty people?

As early as when he learned that the first military camp was successfully attacked, Yelu Huage had already sent a fast horse to strictly order them to guard against the smuggled people. Now the messenger should have arrived, and the city should be prepared, but with their military strength, if the smuggled people are attacked by the smuggled people, can we defend the city?

Just this morning, he sent another 4,000 cavalrymen to order them to escort half of the military rations stored in the city for food. If that batch of food could arrive, he would no longer be afraid of a food crisis!

Thinking of this, he strode out of the tent, looking far away in the direction of the city. Although he knew that the distance was too far and could not see it, he still stared involuntarily and prayed to the sky that as long as the food could be transported, everything would be fine!

...

When the sun sets, the earth shrouds in the night and the city sinks into darkness.

This small city, called Kelu City, is located on the edge of the grassland. It can be regarded as a city built by the Liao army. It has the function of preventing the invasion of the people and storing materials.

Although this city is very small and rarely marked on the map, there are many Khitans living in it, mostly soldiers, and there are also Khitans who moved here to do business.

Now, there are thousands of civilians in the city. Although a large number of defenders were taken by Yelu Huage to attack the Bu people, nearly 2,000 Liao soldiers were still guarding the city, protecting the large amount of military supplies and food stored there.

It was already dark, and on the high city walls, there were Liao soldiers patrolling back and forth with spears, looking at the night outside, and beware of any obstacles to attack.

In the distance, a large number of black shadows suddenly appeared, as if a large number of cavalry were rushing towards this side.

Since it is a city in a strategic location, the defense must naturally be tighter than the military camp. The defenders immediately shouted loudly, ordering them to stop and report their names. Even the real Liao army would have to wait until dawn before entering the city.

The cavalry stopped outside the city, and a leading general stepped forward and shouted loudly, claiming that he had come to transport food and grass under the order of King Yelu Huage to solve the urgent need for food shortage in the camp.

A Liao army officer stood up on the top of the city, but the captain who was responsible for guarding the city gate. Looking at the black cavalry outside, he did not dare to believe it without authorization.

He had received an order from Yelu Qi, the Liao general who was left behind in the city, saying that his military camp was captured by the Bu people, so he had to be careful in everything. Although he had a stupid and stupid character in the Bu people and never did such a thing as fraud, he had to be careful of it.

After pondering for a while, the young Liao army captain looked outside the city and shouted: "It's too late today. I will submit a letter tomorrow morning to prove your identity before entering the city!"

The officers under the city shouted angrily: "I am ordered by King Yelu Hua Ge to transport the food and grass to the camp as soon as possible. If the time is missed, the morale of the army will fluctuate and cause disaster, can you afford to be guilty?"

The Liao army captain was frightened when he heard the sound. If such a thing really happened, the soldiers in the camp were in chaos due to the shortage of food. With Yelu Huage's irritable nature, he would definitely kill himself to vent his anger, and maybe he would also involve his relatives!

Late in the night, it was dark everywhere. Above the dark city, the Liao soldiers held torches and looked at their captain at a loss, waiting for his decision.

The cold wind blew past the city, blowing the young and rough face of the Liao army into a cold wave. The fire swayed and shone on his hesitant face. After a long time, he made up his mind, raised his head, and shouted loudly: "The city must not be opened late at night, this is the custom of our army, and it is also the order of King Yelu Huage! If I want to violate the order, I will not be able to do it!"

In his heart, he had made a decision. There were thousands of civilians in the city, some of which came from afar to seek refuge with their relatives and their beautiful wives who had just married locally. If these unidentified people were allowed to enter the city, they were afraid that their wives and relatives would be in danger!

For this reason, even if you risk the crisis of angering King Yelu Huage, you can only grit your teeth and take responsibility!

Unfortunately, his self-sacrifice spirit did not have much effect on this night, and it did not have any impact on the ending of the matter and the fate of relatives and friends.

A sharp blade stabbed silently from behind with the cold wind. With the invincible sword aura, it easily tore his leather armor and pierced from the back of his heart. With a thud, blood splattered, and the tip of the blade burst out from his chest.

The young captain of the city guarding the city lowered his head and looked at the bloody blade that was coming out of his chest in disbelief. He reached out and pulled out his hand. Before he could pull it out half of it, he fell to the ground.

Behind him was a tall man in black standing, looking at his body silently, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The Liao soldiers looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared in horror. They opened their mouths and were about to scream loudly, but they saw that the man in black shot like a wind. On the sharp blade stretched out from their hands, blood mixed with cold light, and a strange light appeared under the moonlight.

The sharp blade swung with the wind and turned into blood everywhere. A light puff sound rang in the night sky, and the swords were swept into a large gap between the necks of the Liao soldiers. The sound of blood gushing wildly could hardly attract other people's attention.

Under the moonlight, the desperate eyes of the Liao soldiers gradually turned into confusion, and their bodies slowly fell backwards. With a muffled sound, several corpses fell on the top of the city.

Just like the night wind was moving, the tall figure of the man in black shot forward quickly. When his hand swung rapidly and the sharp blade easily crossed the Liao soldier's throat, the shouting of the Liao soldier was quickly stopped in his chest. The mouth that was bleeding from the bloody foam could only make a vague groan of pain, fell on the top of the city, twitching in pain, like big bugs, twisting around the bloody and terrifying city.

The speed of running made the man in black covered with felt at all, and he ran at the top of the city like lightning. When he finally stopped, a long string of Liao soldiers had fallen behind him, covering his blood-spraying throat, rolling and struggling in pain, and the blood kept spraying out, dyeing the top of the city smoothly.

The scene under the night was terrifying and weird. The man in black turned around and looked at his own battle results. His face was cold and cruel. He crawled into the guardhouse at the city gate and let the Liao soldiers rest. After a while, he drilled out of it and a few more drops of blood were stained with his body.

He got into the city before dusk. At that time, he was wearing Khitan costumes and pretending to be coming to Kelu City to visit relatives and friends, and then easily got into the city. Now, taking advantage of the night to cover, he quickly climbed up to the city from behind, and attacked the Liao soldiers guarding the city with a quick blow, and indeed killed them all, leaving no living.

Although such a city is not a strong city, it will cost a lot if it is to attack. The nearly 2,000 Liao soldiers stationed inside will also cause great casualties to their subordinates, which is unbearable for Hualie's troops, which are small in number. If only the lives of the subordinates of Chonggu will be filled up, the population will be reduced. There is no way, so he can only take action himself to cut the pass and seize the village and eliminate the biggest obstacle for his subordinates.

In the several houses near the city gate, many men in black ran silently, looking dozens of people. Under the leadership of Su Ge, who was dressed as a Khitan, he quickly rushed to the top of the city, pulled the winch, slowly lowered the suspension bridge, and landed on the moat with a bang.

Brother Su's face also had a bead of nervous sweat seeping out, and with an excited smile on his lips, he pushed the winch hard and carried out the work of amplifying the army into the city with his subordinates.

Since many days ago, he had already brought a large number of Khitan-speaking subordinates into Kelu City, because Luo Dacheng's goal was Kelu City from the beginning!
