Chapter 126 Night Attack on Kelu
Chapter 126: Night attack on Kelu
This city has an important geographical location and is also the largest base for the Liao army to store military supplies and food nearby. Once it is removed, even if the Liao army goes to heaven and earth, it will be difficult for the Liao army to find enough food for the army to eat.
If we want to obtain food and grass from the mainland of Liao, we don’t know how long it takes to get enough food and grass to transport it. If that day really happened, I’m afraid that the battle between the two armies would have been over for a long time.
In order to seize this city and cut off the supply of food and grass for the Liao army, Luo Dacheng deliberately tried to send Brother Su to lead a large number of carefully selected clever people, whether they were Dangxiang people or Han people, to stop the Bu people. As long as the Khitan language is well spoken, they would send them into Kelu City as internal and external forces to seize Kelu City!
During the past few days in Kelu City, Brother Su couldn't even sleep well. He took his subordinates to hide carefully all day to beware of being discovered by the Liao soldiers. At the same time, he had to collect information everywhere, such as the stationing of the Liao army in the city, patrols and defense changes, and he could understand it clearly and convey the news outside the city from time to time. When Luo Dacheng's army approached Kelu City, someone came to him and handed all the information to Luo Dacheng, so that he could determine the combat plan.
In the dark night, the heavy gate of Kelu City was opened with force and pushed to both sides, making a creaking sound.
Now is the time for the Liao army patrol to change shifts. Before the cavalry approached, a patrol team happened to patrol in front of the city gate. And the time for the next patrol team to approach the city gate is almost here!
Thousands of cavalry guarding outside the city began to quickly step across the suspension bridge and enter the city. Their horse's hooves were tied with thatch to prevent the sound of horse's hooves. In addition, they walked through the vast yellow sand to approach Kelu City, and there was no sound of hooves in the sand.
When the first cavalry entered the city, they happened to see a patrol in the distance appearing on the street corner.
The Liao army patrol team looked at the large number of cavalry entering the city under the moonlight from afar. They were stunned and shouted loudly, asking who they were and how they entered the city late at night.
Brother Su had already changed into the clothes of the Liao soldiers, rode a horse, and slowly ran towards the other side, while shouting loudly that he was coming to carry the grain transport team at the order of King Yelu Hua Ge, because the supply of grain on the front line was too tense.
The captain of the patrol team was half-believing and half-doubted. He was about to ask loudly and verify their identities, but he saw the cavalry following Brother Su and approaching him quickly. There was no sound of hoofs while running.
The Liao army captain felt nervous and immediately raised his head and shouted: "Enemy..."
The sound of the bowstring sounded rapidly, and the shrill shouts came to an abrupt end. A sharp arrow had penetrated deeply into his throat, causing the Liao army captain who was caught to the arrow to fall down from the horse, widening his eyes full of pain and regret: How great would it be if he could shout "enemy attack" earlier?
With the sound of the string, the cavalrymen who broke into the city immediately raised their longbows and poured the rain of arrows into the patrol ahead!
A harsh scream sounded in the night sky, and dozens of patrol teams were instantly shot by arrows, and most of them fell to the ground and screamed miserably.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of war horses rushed towards the enemy. The cavalry on the horse's back raised the sharp sword in their hands, and the fierce light flashed in their eyes, rushing towards the enemy in front of them!
The powerful impact of the war horses instantly knocked the Liao soldiers to the back of their horses, and the sharp sword slashed down quickly, slashing heavily on their heads and bodies. Blood burst out. The Liao soldiers howled shrillly and were slashed on their bodies by random swords. In an instant, blood burst out all over their bodies and fell to the ground to die.
The rolling iron stream ran into the city gate, filling the streets of the small town.
Luo Dacheng rode a war horse and pulled his spear out of the belly of a Liao soldier. He looked back at the large number of subordinates running into the city. Everyone was already excited, and his violent murderous intent emanated from them, overflowing in the dark night sky.
Looking at Brother Su beside him, Luo Dacheng ordered in a deep voice: "You lead the way, let's kick the Liao army's barracks!"
Brother Su agreed excitedly, grabbed the horse's belly hard, urged the war horse to run forward along the street.
The Liao army's military camp is located in the center of the city. Because it is a small city, it is not too far from the four gates. The purpose of this setting is to prevent enemy troops from attacking the city gates, they can calmly dispatch their troops and go to the four gates for help.
At this time, in the Liao army camp, someone heard the screams of fighting in the distance, rushed into the central army's tent, reporting the abnormal movement to Yelu Qi.
Yelu Qi, who was in charge of staying behind the city, had just fallen asleep. When the soldiers came to report, he immediately got up, put on his armor in a hurry, and at the same time ordered to immediately send someone to check the situation and come back quickly to report the truth.
At this time, regret had already aroused in his heart. When Brother Yelu Hua sent someone to deliver the letter, he didn't take it seriously. He just felt that he was so stupid and barbaric. In addition, he was attacked by tens of thousands of troops, so he would not have the courage and determination to sneak attack Kelu City. Therefore, he just greeted the captains guarding the city gate, but did not send additional personnel to the guards.
If I had known that there was really danger, even if I didn’t eat or sleep, I would have to guard the city and beware of the enemy’s invasion!
Thinking of this regretfulness, Yelu Qi, with the help of the Liao soldiers, quickly put on his clothes and armor. When he was about to run out of the barracks, he suddenly heard a deafening sound of fighting outside. At first, he couldn't help but be stunned. He knew that the enemy had rushed into the city. He couldn't help but feel extremely regretful, and almost bit his lips and bleeding.
...
The Liao army camp in the dark had instantly become boiling from the silence of the night.
Under the moonlight, countless cavalrymen galloped outside the camp, raised their longbows, and shot a large number of rockets towards the barracks.
Countless fireheads ignited rapidly in various places in the camp, gradually turning into flaming poisonous snakes, licking and swallowing the barracks of the Liao army.
The Liao soldiers in charge of guarding the camp gate screamed loudly, pulled their bows hard, and shot towards the cavalrymen who were galloping outside the camp gate. Before two arrows were shot, a large rain of arrows had already been shot down, shooting the entire camp gate with a loud bang. The soldiers guarding the camp gate were instantly shot like hedgehogs and fell to death in the arrow rain.
A large number of war horses rushed towards the barracks, and the soldiers who stopped the bus immediately roared wildly, waving their steel swords to pounce towards the barracks.
The wooden military camp gate was rushing away under the crazy impact of a large number of war horses. The rushing cavalry behind rushed in, waving a sharp steel knife, and galloping wildly in the military camp. When they saw people walking on the road, they immediately slashed them with one sword, regardless of whether they were the Liao soldiers who had set up to deal with their hands or the civilians who served in the camp.
The fire spread across the barracks and continued to burn into the wooden houses. A large number of Liao soldiers were awakened in their sleep. When they opened their eyes, they could not help but screamed when they saw that the fire had spread to their bedside.
Under the scorching fire, the Liao soldiers had no time to wear clothes, so they pushed open the door and rushed out, but what was greeted was the fierce battle sword Han Guang!
A large number of cavalry howled wildly, and rushed over the barracks like rolling iron streams. The awakened Liao soldiers ran out of the door in a daze and were knocked down by the galloping war horses. Countless iron hooves trampled by them, screams came from the mouths of the Liao soldiers. Each hooves were trampled, and blood was flowing out of his mouth. After hundreds of war horses stepped on him, their internal organs were trampled to pieces. Even though the outer skin was not broken, they could no longer survive.
The Liao soldiers who rushed out of the barracks and were knocked down by war horses were all over the streets of the camp. However, the Liao soldiers who were skillful and had time to hold a steel knife to fight against the people in the battle, but the fate was not much better.
Looking at the Liao soldiers who were wearing only underwear but still rushing towards him with a knife, Shu Chitai smiled and waved the steel knife, slashed his head with a fierce knife, knocking his steel knife away on the spot, and then slashed his head with another knife, cutting out his brain.
Since following Luo Dacheng, he has been killing him very well in every battle, especially since he has no good feelings for the Khitans. Now that he is slaughtering the Khitans in this way, the excitement and ecstasy in his heart almost makes his heart pop out of his mouth.
There were more than a dozen bare Liao soldiers in front of them holding spears and forming a formation to resist stubbornly. They were trembling by the cold wind in the middle of the night. The pitiful look made Ju Chitai feel ecstatic. He rushed over quickly, waved his sword and slashed hard, and hit the tip of the Liao soldiers' spear, and slashed down with one knife. Seeing the Liao soldiers crying and falling to the ground, Ju Chitai laughed excitedly, waved his sword, and slashed the Liao soldiers wildly, and the joy in his heart was beyond replenishment.
Beside him, Brother Su took advantage of the momentum of this powerful general and was also wielding his sword to kill the Liao soldiers. While killing, he was so excited that he screamed. He felt that killing the enemy was so satisfying that it was the joy of life.
Around them, a large number of cavalry guards also came to help, surrounded the Liao soldiers and killed them fiercely, cutting the naked Liao soldiers into pieces. Then they roared and dispersed, looking for new enemies to kill.
Brother Su and Shu Chitai looked at each other, their eyes full of cruel smiles, and they patted each other on the shoulders, feeling that they were in love and could not be added.
Both of them are now popular people in front of Luo Dacheng. Brother Su is known for his clever mind and good at obtaining information, while Shu Chitai is known for his bravery and has long been famous in the Telie tribe. Now he has been ordered by Meng Yilan and follows Luo Dacheng's tent. He is not afraid of life and death during daily battles. He is indeed a powerful general and is highly appreciated by Luo Dacheng.
The two drove their horses side by side and rushed towards a group of Liao soldiers in the distance, but they were afraid that they would be too late to kill all the Liao soldiers, making it difficult for them to survive again.
