The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 105 Breakthrough
Han Bolong led five thousand cavalry into Yelu Dashi's barracks.

Although some reacted quickly and rushed out of the military tent with knives and guns, most of them were unprepared.

Cavalry night raids were basically unheard of things for them. After all, night blindness was a very common disease in the Song Dynasty.

The speed of the cavalry is fast, not to mention fighting at night, even traveling is very risky.

It cannot be said that Yelu Dashi has no common sense, but he did not detect the cavalry of the Wei army hiding in the camp during the day, and the location of the temporary camp was far away. He felt that the other party might not be able to detect their arrival, so he did not Beware of night raids.

Unexpectedly, with a little negligence, the opponent seized the opportunity, and launched a sneak attack on their first night after they first arrived, which is a bit disrespectful of martial arts.

Seeing the size of the opponent's cavalry from a distance, Yelu Dashi knew that it was difficult to reverse the situation. After the guards brought the horses, he turned on the horses and fled immediately.

Some clever people in the Liao army also rushed to the stables to grab the horses, and fled with him. No one thought about desperate resistance.

In fact, during this period, whether it was Liao, Song or Xixia, their army was worse than anyone else, and only the Jurchens in the early Jin Kingdom had stronger combat effectiveness.

The same cavalry ran away as soon as they charged at the people of the Liao Kingdom. They led an army of 70 with Emperor Tianzuo and were beaten by [-] soldiers from the Kingdom of Jin.

Just like in real history, two thousand cavalrymen from Yelu Dashi rushed so that the Song soldiers fled in embarrassment.

The current Great Wei cavalry rushed to the Liao army's barracks, and their momentum was no worse than that of the wolf-like Jin people.Especially the demoted generals of Liang Shanbo, who changed their courts twice in a short period of time, they are the ones who need to prove themselves the most.

Take Yang Zhi as an example, although he has a good friendship with Du Yu, he understands that if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the Wei army and gain a place in the Wei army, it is not enough to rely on relationships, and he must fight for fame with a knife and a gun.

When he was in Liangshanbo, he fought the Song Dynasty official army, and as a member of Zhao'an, he also fought Wei Jun. He knew who was strong and who was weak.

Coupled with Shi Jin's strong push for the benefit of the people, he felt that the great Wei was bound to rise. Anyway, his ideal was to revive the Yang family. Since he couldn't get it in the Song Dynasty, he should cherish the opportunity he got in the Wei army.

That's why Yang Zhicai rushed forward regardless of the danger.

In fact, the effect was really good. After opening the camp gate and rushing into the barracks, he bumped into a Liao soldier dressed as a middle-level officer.

Without saying a word, Yang Zhi rushed over with a wave of his big gun, and took the head into his hands in two or three rounds.

Suo Chao next to him was also not bad, with a big ax flying left and right, chopping those Liao soldiers who hadn't got the armor in time to cry for their fathers and mothers.

The night attack lasted for more than two hours before it was declared over. After the battle, Han Bolong counted the results. This time, Han Bolong killed more than 3000 people and captured nearly 4000 people.

The remaining hundreds of people went to nowhere in the darkness. Although the cavalry of Wei did not suffer from night blindness, they did not dare to chase after them indiscriminately in the middle of the night.

Taking stock, Han Bolong has gained a lot. More than 8000 Liao cavalrymen carried more than 1 horses. Excluding those who were accidentally killed or escaped during the battle, there were more than 7000 horses captured alone. This is not counting thousands of horses. Lin Jun's cavalry armor.

Of course, there was a price. Hundreds of Wei cavalry were killed during the chaos, and nearly 1000 were injured.

Fortunately, when they returned to the Wei army camp after dawn, there were military doctors treating them, and most of them could return to serve in the army after recovering.

Du Yu was naturally prepared for this. In the real world, anti-inflammatory drugs such as penicillin and cephalosporin were sold everywhere, and a batch was enough to save the lives of most soldiers.

Just before the Battle of Xingzhou, An Daoquan of Liangshanbo was also captured. Whether he wanted to or not, he had to be a military doctor in the Great Wei Army.

However, when Du Yu handed over a book on modern medicine to him, An Daoquan decided to follow Wei with all his heart.

Besides, Yelu Dashi was tired and thirsty after fleeing all night. After dawn, the cavalry who gathered together and fled together only counted more than 300 cavalry.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He didn't know what to say. Who could be blamed? It wasn't his own carelessness that underestimated the Han people who called from the south.

At this time, some soldiers brought him stream water.

After taking a few sips, he frowned and thought about what to do next.

If he lost all his money before he was on the table, he would definitely not be able to go to Waqiao Pass. He knew that even if he entered the pass city, he would not be able to hold it.

'Could it be returned to Youzhou?But can the Shannan Han army in the city really withstand the opponent's army? Yelu Dashi thought over and over again, but couldn't find an answer.

"General, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, we need to find a place to settle down as soon as possible." An aide said in his ear.

Yelu Dashi came back to his senses, thinking about the current situation between Liao and Jin, and thinking about Wei's barracks stretching to the sky, he suddenly felt that the power of Liao was exhausted.

The Kingdom of Jin is pressing every step of the way. The fall of the Zhongjing Dading Mansion is a matter of time. Just defending against the people of the Kingdom of Jin has already involved all the energy of Beiliao. Can a team be drawn to repel Wei's huge army?

Thinking about Emperor Tianzuo, where he hid after escaping to the Datong Mansion in Xijing, where he ate, drank and had fun every day. Most likely, he expected that the defeat of the army and the destruction of the country were a foregone conclusion, and he was desperately enjoying his last time.

With the 300 people in his hands, even if he returned to Youzhou, it would be difficult to resist the offensive of the Wei army, and if he went to Datong Mansion in Xijing, he was afraid that Emperor Tianzuo would hate him and support Yeluchun.

After thinking about it, Yelu Dashi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and decided to escape from the place of right and wrong first.

"Brothers, my Daliao has accumulated so much that it is hard to return. It is difficult to reverse the situation whether it is on the Liaojin battlefield or the Liao Wei war behind us. Now we will be punished by His Majesty when we return to Xijin Mansion, and go to Xijing Datong Mansion to take refuge in heaven Emperor Zuo is afraid of being retaliated by him." Yelu Dashi said.

Those Liao cavalrymen looked at each other in blank dismay after hearing this, knowing that what he said was true.

"I'm willing to follow what the general does." A personal follower immediately cheered among the crowd.

Someone took the lead, and the others could only follow suit, expressing their willingness to follow Yelu Dashi.

"Okay, since everyone trusts me, I will find a place to go. I think I am the eighth grandson of the Taizu, and I am also qualified to be king. If the day comes, I will establish myself as king and lead you to the northwest to raise soldiers and wait for time. How about sending out elite soldiers and killing them back?" Yelu Dashi said.

"I am willing to follow the king." Everyone shouted in unison.

"Okay, today we will go west to take the city of Ketun, an important military town in Daliao. If I remember correctly, there are still more than [-] troops and hundreds of thousands of horses there, which are the cornerstone of the revival." Yelu Dashi said.

The others are men who kill men, so he, the Liao Dynasty Hanlin and the Liao Xingjun Jiedushi, knows a lot. If someone takes them away and finds a shelter, he will follow them. Anyway, they don't have family members and they live the same wherever they go.

In this way, Yelu Dashi took the old path in history several years in advance and went to the northwest to establish his own empire.

Du Yu didn't expect that Han Bolong's night attack would cause Xiliao to be born several years earlier.

Of course, his current energy is focused on the Waqiao Pass in front of him.

After defeating Yelu Dashi's reinforcements, the Wei army could safely and boldly besiege the pass city. After the counterweight trebuchets smashed day and night for another two days, the city wall of Waqiao Pass finally collapsed and a gap more than 20 meters long was formed. .

As soon as the city wall collapsed, the cannon fodder battalion of the Great Wei Xiandeng Army immediately charged the city with knives and guns.

Although they were not willing to die, there was nothing they could do. After all, Shan Shiqi's army governor was staring at them, and a group of crossbowmen aimed at them with their bows and arrows. Who would dare to retreat.

Du Yu observed through the binoculars, and couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart. He had to say that Song Jiang's hardcore younger brothers really made a lot of noise with their personal strength.

After all, they are all leader-level figures, much stronger than the elite infantry in the Wei army. People like Lei Heng, Zhu Dian, and Qin Ming are all good at their hands, and it is no problem to fight the defenders of the Liao Kingdom.

Another point is that although they are a cannon fodder battalion, their usual treatment is still good, at least in terms of food and drink, they are no worse than the regular army.

Therefore, the morale is relatively high, and Du Yu promised to atone for the beheading of five enemy soldiers and to be incorporated into the regular army of the Great Wei.

With this temptation hanging, the soldiers of the cannon fodder battalion pushed into the city with only one charge, and the tile bridge pass was broken.
