I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 67 The old turtle emerges from its shell

At this moment, everyone used all their means to hurt the enemy.

Liu Sheng kicked away the Khitan soldiers rushing towards him.

The other foot slipped with frozen blood and fell to the ground. Several guards stepped forward to protect Liu Sheng behind him.

Liu Sheng sat on the high platform panting and looked at the entire battlefield.

Since the Khitan people did not replenish their troops and the soldiers fought hard, there were very few Khitan soldiers still standing on the tower.

Although the civilians suffered heavy casualties, some fled, but others walked up to the city wall and picked up weapons on the ground.

Liu Sheng nodded. A strong reward must be given to a strong man. This sentence has never changed.

Liu Sheng's eyes continued to scan the battlefield, and he found a soldier holding the Khitan man's neck with one hand and dragging him forward, forcing the two Khitan soldiers in front of him to keep retreating.

A Khitan soldier couldn't bear the pressure and raised his sword to strike forward. He got close and kicked the Khitan soldier in the chest. He kicked the Khitan soldier to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Seeing this, another Khitan soldier actually started to flee towards the city.

When he let go of his arm, the Khitan soldier who was restrained by him had lost his breath.

Liu Sheng asked the guard on the side: "Who is this person? He is so brave, let him come over."

At this time, the Khitan soldiers were out of control and retreated towards the city.

At this time, few people could stand on the city wall. They were either so tired that they collapsed and sat on the ground, or they were injured and lay on the ground unable to stand up.

Standing at the top of the city at this moment, the people who took over the guard duty were the civilian men who came up from behind. They stood on the top of the city holding steel knives, looking at the defeated Khitan people with expressions of uncertainty, like veterans of hundreds of battles.

But if you look carefully, you can still see two tremors, shaking constantly. I don't know whether it is excitement or fear.

Liu Shengge took this picture very seriously.

"General, are you looking for me?" The brave man from before stood in front of Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng raised his head. This man's face was stained with blood. It looked like he had killed many Khitan people.

Liu Sheng felt that this person looked familiar, so he opened his mouth and said, "Are you Lao Niu?"

The man wiped his face and said excitedly: "General, do you still remember me?"

This is the man who said in Yujia Village that his arms are as strong as a thousand catties. Liu Sheng also threatened him and asked him to be the vanguard.

I didn’t expect him to be really awesome, and I didn’t brag about it at all.

Liu Sheng asked curiously: "Aren't you in the cavalry camp? Why are you among the new recruits again?"

Niu Da smiled sheepishly and said: "At first, Battalion Commander Liang said that every soldier in the cavalry battalion must learn to write. It hurt me when I saw the words, so I ran away with a few fellow villagers."

"Later I realized that I had nowhere to go, so you recruited troops and I came back."

Liu Sheng held his forehead, this was still a deserter.

At the beginning, he asked all the sergeants who wanted to leave the team to leave, but not the cavalry battalion. Every cavalryman was very rare, and Liu Sheng did not want to train from scratch.

For this reason, each of the cavalrymen was given an extra five hundred dollars.

Liu Sheng said angrily: "After this battle, go to the Military Law Office to get fifty military sticks. There will be another time..."

Before Liu Sheng finished speaking, Niu Da hurriedly said: "There will be no next time, so I won't run away."

After looking at it for a while, Liu Sheng said: "It's a pity to be a big-headed soldier. Follow me first." Then he added: "You still have to recognize the characters, two a day, one less and one military stick."

"Ah!" Niu Da's face was full of bitterness.

Liu Sheng also counted on retired soldiers to fill the vacancies in Shuozhou, and illiteracy was not enough.

At this moment, the horizon was just turning white. Unknowingly, they had been fighting with the Khitans for so long.

Liu Sheng, who was exhausted and collapsed, walked to the top of the city with the help of the guards. He wanted to know the reason why the Khitans retreated.

I saw a group of cavalry immediately behind the Khitans, and they just watched quietly without stepping forward.

The guard said excitedly: "It's Battalion Commander Liang's cavalry battalion."

Liu Sheng smiled, but he didn't expect Liang Shouyi to become a surprise soldier.

When the Khitans were attacking the city, a group of cavalry was watching them from behind. With Yerunan's temperament, he would definitely not dare to attack the city with all his strength.

Originally thinking of letting Liang Shouyi go out and cut off the Khitan's food routes, Liu Sheng also thought that he could deal with the Khitans in Mayi City for a few days, cut off their food routes, and make them retreat.

But he didn't expect that the gap between the two sides was too big, and there was no way to deal with it, and they were almost defeated by the Khitans in a single battle.

Instead, Liang Shouyi, the cavalry sent out to cut off the Khitans' food routes, became a surprise force.

The cavalry cannot charge in such heavy snow, and its lethality is limited.

But if you want to resist the cavalry, you must form an infantry formation, but Liu Sheng has a gunpowder can that can directly explode the things in the front army camp, and the gunpowder can is aimed at the crowd.

Yalenan, a holy man, didn't dare to gamble.

The Khitans withdrew their troops and returned to the main camp. Liang Shouyi did not return to Mayi City, but ran to the wilderness far away.

As long as Liang Shouyi's cavalry is out wandering, the Khitans will not dare to attack the city with all their strength.

Then the battle reports of the remaining two city gates were sent, and they were all pretty good. Although the Khitan people climbed onto the towers of both cities, they were far less tragic than those of the East City.

More than [-] civilians who defended the city in the east city were killed, but their bodies could still be found. How many of those who lit gunpowder pots and perished with the Khitan people could not even find their bodies.

Among the soldiers trained by Liu Sheng, including the guards, less than 200 of the injured were still alive after the war. This was still the result of wearing heavy armor.

The Khitans taught Liu Sheng another lesson: never underestimate your opponent.

Liu Sheng silently watched the civilians clean up the battlefield, and without caring much, asked people to bring the defenders from Shuo County and Shanyang, otherwise Mayi City could not be defended.

The Khitans traveled all night yesterday and were harassed by Liu Sheng for half the night. Then they began to attack the city. The Khitans should rest during the day. As long as reinforcements arrive before the next Khitan attack, they will arrive in time. .

After arranging everything, Liu Sheng slowly fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, he was woken up by someone. Liu Sheng stood up and said, "Have the Khitans attacked the city?"

"No, general, Khitan Yerunan invited you out of the city. He said he wanted to chat with you." The guard on the side replied.

"Want to talk to me? What's there to talk about? If we don't talk before the war, what else can we talk about after the battle is like this? Let's talk about surrender?" Although Liu Sheng said so, he quickly got up and came to the wall.

From a distance, I saw outside the city of Mayi, a man, a horse, and an entourage.

After seeing Liu Sheng, he waved to Liu Sheng from a distance.

"Niu Da, you come with me." Liu Sheng said while looking at the city.

Wu Ze stopped Liu Sheng and said, "Brother Sheng, no, it's too dangerous. At this time, Battalion Commander Liang should directly send people to capture Yerunan alive. The Khitans must retreat."

Liu Sheng patted Wu Ze on the shoulder and said, "You can't be underestimated by the Khitan people, right? Yerunan is a man on his own, so you have to have confidence in Brother Sheng."

"At least I am confident that Brother Sheng can escape from Yerunan." Liu Sheng joked.
