Chapter 305 All the Troops, Follow Me to Break Through the Formation!
At this time, in Funing Palace.
Empress Cao gathered the maids in the palace, including Zhao Zhen's favorite concubines.
She handed a dagger to each woman, including herself.
"Today, I have gathered you all together for one thing. If the Liao army breaks through the city and kills here, I will go to the underworld with you and see the ancestors of my Great Zhou!"
In fact, Empress Cao wanted to leave Bianjing very much.
Helplessly, his son Zhao Xi has decided to defend the imperial city to the death.
His husband Zhao Zhen also did not plan to leave.
As a woman, the two most important men in her life both planned to stay and sacrifice their lives for the country.
How could she embarrass her husband and son? ——
Outside the city of Bianjing, blood had already flowed like a river.
The bodies of both sides were piled up.
Whether it was the Liao army or the Zhou army, every step they took would trample on the brothers who had died in battle.
Yelu Renxian made a desperate move and ordered his army to rush into the outer city at all costs.
Now, the gate of the inner city has been shaken by them, and more and more Liao soldiers have also set up siege ladders on the walls of the outer city. Whether outside the inner city or on the top of the city, there are countless Liao soldiers.
The resistance of the Zhou army became more and more difficult, and even Han Zhang was seriously injured, and blood kept flowing from his arms.
He was protected by more than a dozen Zhou soldiers, fighting and retreating. When he could retreat, it would probably be the time for Han Zhang to sacrifice his life.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
Han Zhang waved the sword in his hand and kept shouting.
As long as he didn't die, the Zhou soldiers guarding the city would have a flag in their hearts, which could continue to inspire them to kill the enemy.
They would not become a mess and be defeated one by one by the Liao army.
And Yelu Renxian was obviously aware of this problem.
"Which general is willing to bring Han Zhang's head?"
At this time, Yelu Renxian was only a few hundred steps away from the outer city of Bianjing.
Around him were the most courageous generals of the Liao Dynasty.
One of them was called Yelu Guozhen.
When he was young, he was known as the third bravest warrior of the Liao Dynasty.
Now, in his prime, he is already the first warrior of the Liao Dynasty.
But for this warrior, there is a shameful regret in his heart.
That is, in the battle of Yanmen, he once climbed the top of the city under the leadership of Yelu Yixian and fought with Wei Yuan.
Unfortunately, he lost.
Since then, he has studied martial arts diligently, constantly polished himself, and finally became the first warrior of the Liao Dynasty.
That year, he climbed the Yanmen Pass and suffered a great defeat. Today, he wants to climb the top of the city of Bianjing to avenge his previous shame!
"General, I am willing to go!" Yelu Guozhen said loudly.
Yelu Renxian smiled and said, "Kill Han Zhang, this battle will be your first achievement!"
The first achievement in the destruction of Bianjing, this honor is enough for Yelu Guozhen to fight for his life.
"Kill!"
In a flash, he led hundreds of guards to kill Bianjing.
Under the cover of the Liao soldiers, Yelu Guozhen successfully climbed to the top of the city.
He held two battle axes, like a demon returning from hell, and wherever he went, there was endless killing and countless fallen corpses.
No one could stop him from moving forward.
He was approaching Han Zhang step by step.
The latter noticed him and suddenly felt a palpitation.
It seemed that he would face death in the next moment.
Killer God!
When Han Zhang noticed the other party, two words suddenly popped up in his mind.
Is this still a human?
When the axe fell, the head immediately rolled down to the bottom of the city.
The blood spurting from the neck was several feet high.
It was so horrifying!
"Prime Minister Han, that man is the best warrior of Liao, and he is beyond human power. I ask you to evacuate for the time being!"
"Prime Minister Han, if you keep the green mountains, you will not worry about the lack of firewood. Retreat?!"
"."
The Zhou army soldiers who originally planned to fight to the death did not dare to fight with Yelu Guozhen after seeing his terror and bloodiness.
This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Zhou army soldiers' desire to resist collapsed completely.
Han Zhang tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, and could not help but sigh to the sky, "Heaven wants to destroy my Great Zhou!"
He knew very well that retreat was impossible.
The Liao warrior was less than thirty steps away from him.
At a distance of thirty steps, even if more people tried to stop him, it would be useless!
"I want to kill the thief, but I can't do anything to save the world! I can't do anything to save the world!"
Han Zhang shouted unwillingly.
After all, he was just a civil official.
It was extremely difficult to defend the city until now to achieve this step.
"Kill!"
Han Zhang made up his mind and was determined to die.
Bang--
Bang--
Below the city, the Liao army's siege vehicles kept hitting the inner city gate.
The huge city gate had become loose.
Even the bolts that closed the city gate had broken.
Han Zhang heard the noise.
He knew that he could not hold on any longer and everything would end here.
The defeat was already here.
"Kill the bandits!"
Han Zhang no longer retreated. In fact, he could withdraw.
He led the last elite of the Great Zhou garrison to fight the enemy for the last time.
Just then.
A Zhou army soldier who was guarding Han Zhang suddenly saw a flag slowly appearing in his sight not far away.
It was very different from the direction where the Liao army appeared.
"Big banner? Whose army? Could it be that the Liao Kingdom has sent more troops?"
Originally, they were about to collapse, but now, the Liao Kingdom was sending more troops from other directions.
How could I not feel despair in my heart?
Even Han Zhang saw the big banner.
Deep inside, a feeling of powerlessness gradually arose.
He really tried his best, but that was the end of it.
Defeated, really defeated.
Even the Liao army in front of them cannot be defeated, let alone the new Liao army.
only
Han Zhang frowned, "Where did the Liao reinforcements come from?"
Yesterday, people from the Imperial City Division informed him that Wei Yuan's army was coming.
Han Zhang dismissed this.
From Jiangnan to Bianjing, even if it is a rapid march, taking into account the rest factor, it will take about five or six days.
How could a hundred thousand troops come so quickly?
If it really came, it would be a miracle in the history of war.
Therefore, at that time, he felt that there should be an error in the information from the Imperial City Division.
Besides, it would also take some time for Wei Yuan to assemble troops from Jiangnan, Guangnan, etc.
There was no way he could come so quickly.
Wei Yuan cannot come here, and the Liao army has no reinforcements.
Whose army is it?
Han Zhang squinted and looked into the distance.
Gradually, what comes into view is the large scroll with the word "Wei".
Daguan with the word "Wei"?
Han Zhang's pupils suddenly shrank, "Wei Yuan is really here?"
When the surrounding soldiers heard these words, they all looked startled, and then their faces became happy and extremely excited.
"Wei Yuan? Is it Commander Wei? Brothers, Commander Wei's army is coming!"
"Commander Wei is here?"
"Is it really the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard? He arrived personally with the reinforcements?"
"Brothers Paoze, reinforcements have arrived, fight hard to kill the enemy!"
"."
At this moment, the flames of hope suddenly ignited in the hearts of the Zhou army soldiers.
They are not defeated yet!
We can fight again!
"kill!"
A Zhou sergeant noticed that when the reinforcements arrived, his bruised and heavy body suddenly seemed to burst into life.
I don't know where the strength came from, but he slashed hard at the Liao soldiers.
No matter how many new injuries he received, his whole body seemed to feel no pain. No matter how fast and heavy the blood flowed, he still killed a Liao soldier while he was "drowsy".
The unknown soldier's only thought during his lifetime may have been that he could survive as reinforcements arrived.
However.
He failed to survive to the end.
There are many soldiers like him.
They all felt that since the reinforcements had arrived, they no longer had to die and could kill the enemy happily.
The Zhou army's soldiers' counterattack once again successfully hindered the Liao army's attack.
not far away.
Wearing armor and holding a scimitar, Wei Yuan, who was riding Chasing the Wind, led a tired army and was getting closer to Bianjing.
He saw the Liao army's large banner.
This is where Yelvren is.
At the same time, he also noticed the scene of constant fighting between the two sides on the top of the city, and judged the situation in Bianjing City from this.
Almost instantly, he made a solemn decision.
That is, at all costs, penetrate the military formation laid out by Yelu Ren, surround Wei and rescue Zhao!
Otherwise, the 20,000 cavalry led by him would still be surrounded by enemy forces even if they arrived in Bianjing City.
If you don’t do one, you won’t stop!
Capture the thief and capture the king!
Wei Yuan is not only a military general, but also a qualified military commander!
His appearance brought hope to too many people.
"Big banner!"
Wei Yuan shouted.
The cavalry general holding a large banner, waving his whip, quickly came to him.
Wei Yuan placed the Guandao on the horse's waist. The hand that originally held the Guandao was now holding the big banner tightly.
"The whole army listens to the order, follows the banner, follows the commander, and builds the formation!"
Wei Yuan shouted.
The herald turned his horse around and galloped down the road clear of twenty thousand horsemen.
"The Commander-in-Chief of the Guards has an order, follow the banner and build a formation!"
"The Commander-in-Chief of the Guards has an order for all the soldiers in the army to follow the banner and build a formation!"
"The whole army obeys the order."
"Chisel formation!"
"."
After hearing the general's order, the cavalry officers shouted loudly one after another:
"Chisel formation!"
"Chisel formation!"
"kill!"
"."
For a moment, the sound of horse hooves was earth-shattering.
Liao army camp.
Yelvren is paying close attention to the progress of the siege.
At this moment, a scout came to him, cupped his fists and said:
"Commander, there is a Zhou army cavalry rushing towards our army!"
Hearing this, Yelvren looked startled.
Zhou army cavalry?
Where did the cavalry come from?
Yelvren first looked towards the direction Wei Yuan was charging from, frowned slightly and said, "Who is leading the troops?"
The scout shook his head and said: "I only saw a large banner with the word "Wei". I don't know who is leading the troops because of my humble position."
Daguan with the word "Wei"?
Yelvren first turned to look at the generals around him and asked curiously: "Among the Zhou army, who are the generals named Wei?"
A Liao army soldier blurted out: "Wei Yuan?"
Wei Yuan?
Yelvren chuckled first and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Wei Yuan is still far away in the south of the Yangtze River at this time. How can he come to Bianjing?"
At this time, another scout hurriedly ran over and said, "Commander, we have found out the identity of the enemy's general, who is Weiyuan, the Zhongyong Hou of Zhou Kingdom."
What?
Wei Yuan? Is it really him?
After hearing the news, some Liao generals who had fought against Wei Yuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and seemed extremely fearful.
If we say that in the eyes of both the enemy and ourselves, Yelu Guozhen is a demon who has returned from hell.
Then, Wei Yuan is the God of Death, the God of Death who specializes in killing demons!
"Wei Yuan is here?"
"How did he come so quickly?"
"."
Before seeing Wei Yuan himself, some Liao soldiers became timid.
Even Yelvren was deeply afraid.
"Wei Yuan. He is actually here!"
"You're still trying to kill me?"
At this time, a famous Liao Army soldier volunteered and said: "Commander, please give the last general an army to fight against Wei Yuan!"
He had never fought against Wei Yuan, but had only heard other generals talk about Wei Yuan's invincibility.
But he didn't think so.
No matter how invincible a person is, he is still a human being. How can he be invincible?
Unexpectedly, Yelvren just glanced at him, shook his head and said:
"Let Yelu Guozhen come back and order the entire army to be on alert to guard against a surprise attack by the guards. Don't delay the plan to attack the city!"
At this time, Yelvren also took the risk.
What about Wei Yuan? Daliao is not without warriors!
As long as Bianjing City is captured, even Wei Yuan will be dead!
Not long after Yelv Ren first issued the order, the 20,000 cavalry led by Wei Yuan were getting closer and closer to the Liao army camp that was waiting for them.
"All armies, follow my commander to form formations!"
As soon as Wei Yuan finished speaking, he took the lead and jumped into the enemy camp.
The Guandao was not used, and with just a large sword, the Liao shield soldiers guarding the front were swept away.
Reduce casualties for subsequent cavalry charges.
Chen Daniu followed Wei Yuan closely.
He threw the big banner to the former and said in a deep voice: "The flag is there and the people are there!"
Chen Daniu nodded, "The flag is with the people!"
Wei Yuan spoke to the heavily armored cavalry Tiger Guard behind him:
"Manjia camp, clear the way for me, and go straight to the Liao army's banner!"
Hundreds of Tiger Guards immediately rushed to kill them.
at the same time.
On top of Bianjing City.
Just when Yelu Guozhen was about to approach Han Zhang, he suddenly received an order to return to the camp.
He was very puzzled. While fighting the Zhou army, he asked the scout who came to convey the general's order.
"Why withdraw?"
The scout informed Yelu Guozhen of the news that Wei Yuan led his troops to attack the camp.
He took a deep look at Han Zhang, who was not far away, and gritted his teeth, "The whole army continues to fight!"
Afterwards, under the cover of the Liao army soldiers, he gradually left the battlefield.
At first Han Zhang felt that he was about to face the danger of life and death, but suddenly saw Yelu Guozhen's retreat, and suddenly had a glimmer of hope.
"The general of the Liao army has fled. All officers and men, follow the original commander and charge to kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced in the direction Yelu Guozhen left.
It happened that at this time, Yelu Guozhen also looked back at him.
Han Zhang shivered immediately.
He swore that he would never forget Yelu Guozhen's terrifying eyes for the rest of his life.
For Yelu Guozhen, Han Zhang's fate was already within reach.
However, he couldn't wait to spread his wings now and fight Wei Yuan to avenge his shame.
Who is Han Zhang?
Kill Wei Yuan!
Yelu Guozhen mounted his war horse and, under the cover of his personal guards, gradually left the city and returned to the camp.
After a while.
Wei Yuan is already close to the enemy's army.
In fact, the Liao army's imperial decree was not the goal, the goal was Yelv Renxian.
At this time, there were already many Liao army generals urging Yelvren to leave temporarily.
"Commander, Wei Yuan is invincible by manpower. Commander, please stay out of the way for now!"
"Commander, please stay out of the way for now!"
"."
Yelvren first stared at the scene of Wei Yuan's charge.
No matter how many Liao soldiers pounced on them, they would all be torn open by him with an almost heroic force.
It turned out that the Liao general who asked for orders to fight Wei Yuan felt deeply ashamed after seeing Wei Yuan's terror, and at the same time he was very grateful to Yelv Renxian.
If he were not the coach, he would be cut down by Wei Yuan if he met him face to face.
At the same time, many Liao generals, including him, had a confusion in their hearts.
Can Yelu Guozhen, the first warrior of Daliao, defeat Wei Yuan?
Hearing everyone's dissuasion, Yelvren shook his head and said, "We can't withdraw!"
Once he leaves, the entire army's belief in attacking the city will inevitably collapse. By then, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be lost.
After all, with Wei Yuan's ability, it is not easy to defend a Bianjing.
"But Wei Yuan has already come to kill him."
Some Liao army soldiers were deeply worried.
How could Yelvren not know this first?
But for the sake of the overall situation, he couldn't leave.
At this moment, Yelu Guozhen arrived.
Yelvren couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "The one who can fight Weiyuan is none other than our Daliao warriors."
Yelu Guozhen noticed the invincible Wei Yuan, and his heart suddenly ignited a raging flame of war, "Commander, please don't worry!"
Immediately, Yelu Guozhen rushed towards Wei Yuan.
Regarding the duel between these two generals, the generals of Daliao wanted to know who would win and who would lose.
Therefore, they all looked at Wei Yuan's direction intently, not even daring to blink for fear of missing the duel between the two.
at the same time.
Wei Yuan was waving the Guandao, constantly harvesting the heads of the Liao soldiers. The blood from the enemy soldiers spattered several feet high, dyeing his whole body, including his entire face, red.
The strong smell of blood kept coming to his nostrils.
He was very excited and enjoyed the taste. The trembling and excitement in his body occupied his entire brain.
Under the cover of the Tiger Guard, they kept advancing.
Yelu Guozhen arrived in front of Wei Yuan in time, and said to Wei Yuan loudly in a very poor Zhou language:
"Wei Yuan, in the battle of Yanmen that year, this general was defeated by you. Today, this general will take your head!"
Wei Yuan was concentrating on killing the enemy, so how could he have time to listen to what he said?
He just wanted to chop an ordinary soldier, and swung a knife at Yelu Guozhen who was blocking him.
Seeing this, Yelu Guozhen immediately felt like he was facing a big enemy, and crossed his battle axe with both hands, trying to block his knife.
Not far away, Yelu Renxian and others watched the first confrontation between the two with their eyes fixed.
As Wei Yuan's knife fell on the battle axe.
A huge force that could not be stopped by human power suddenly burst out, and instantly knocked Yelu Guozhen off his horse and flew backwards several steps away!
With just one knife, Yelu Guozhen had no power to resist!
Some Liao army soldiers instantly pulled Yelu Guozhen up to protect him.
And his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Wei Yuan.
Over the years, he had been constantly honing himself, hoping to fight with Wei Yuan again after meeting him.
He thought that after so many years of training, he was already on par with Wei Yuan.
But one knife, just one knife, had left him powerless to resist, and his arms holding two battle axes were constantly shaking.
How could he not be frightened?
Is Wei Yuan still a human? !
Little did he know that although Yelu Guozhen had been making continuous progress over the years.
But at this time, the Wei Yuan he faced was the most powerful Wei Yuan, the most young and powerful Wei Yuan, and the most invincible Wei Yuan.
