Chapter 422 Ambush
Just when the Liao army soldiers were in despair, suddenly, the rain of arrows from the sky stopped, and the people on the roofs on both sides of the street disappeared.

"what……"

On the long bluestone street, most of the Liao troops were lying on the ground. Most of them were killed in the battle, and only more than 300 people were left with minor or serious injuries, lingering there.

Among the more than 300 people, including the deputy general who was lucky enough to survive.

He was covered in blood, with a knife in one hand, standing staggeringly in the middle of the bluestone slab street, looking up to the sky and making a strange sound, like crying or laughing.

"withdraw!"

More Liao soldiers who were lucky enough to survive but were seriously injured struggled to stand up, supported each other, and slowly walked toward the city gate with weapons in their hands.

They are human beings too, and as human beings they don’t want to die.

The city gate is just ahead, already in sight.

All they have to do is walk through it and survive!

Such a belief supports them.

However, after taking only two steps, these more than three hundred soldiers once again despaired, and the faith that had finally risen in their hearts collapsed and ceased to exist.

Because, the doors of the buildings on both sides of the street were pushed open at the same time, and groups of Liang Jun soldiers poured out. They were armed, strong, unstoppable, and full of murderous intent.

The Liang Army soldiers who were the first to break out surrounded the Liao Army, which was seriously injured and hammered to death, gradually approached, and then sent them on their way cleanly.

At the same time, Liang Jun soldiers continued to pour out of the buildings on both sides of the street.

These soldiers did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of the remaining Liao army. Instead, they mounted their horses, shouted loudly, and went straight to kill the Liao army outside the city gate.

in the city.

The remaining [-] Liao army officers and soldiers were quickly eliminated.

Then they also got on horseback and went straight to kill the Liao army outside the city gate.

There was not a single Liao soldier standing on the bluestone streets in the city, but there were still many people who were not dead and lay on the ground wailing.

At this time, suddenly a group of young and strong people dressed as ordinary people came to kill with horizontal knives, red-tasseled guns, wooden sticks and other weapons in their hands.

They were responsible for "cleaning the battlefield" and performing the task of "killing last wounds" on the Liao soldiers who were not dead.

Soon, the bluestone street became quiet.

There were no more painful wails from the Liao soldiers.

Almost all the five thousand Liao troops who entered the city were wiped out. Only the fateful deputy general was left. He was not dead yet, lying on the ground clenching his teeth.

The young adults silently surrounded them.

Their eyes are cold and murderous.

"That's him. He just said he wanted to rob our property and take away our wives and daughters!" A young man pointed a blood-stained sword at the deputy general, his voice trembling.

"A wolf's ambition, not a man's son, and a lack of conscience. What's the difference between such a person and an animal?"

"kill him!"

"kill him!"

"..."

puff!
Finally, amidst the excited shouts of killing, the fateful lieutenant general was beheaded with a single knife, and he died so badly that he couldn't die anymore.

Until his death, the lieutenant general always harbored resentment and doubts——

Before they attacked Jimen Pass, they had already learned that six thousand elite Liao troops had sneaked into Youzhou City in Daliang to help them attack the city.

After entering Jimen Pass and approaching Youzhou City, they found that the city gate had indeed been captured by "their own people". They were so happy in their hearts.

I really want to grow a pair of wings and fly into the city. Countless money and beautiful Central Plains women are waiting for them to snatch it.

Just now, General Huyan needed a vanguard consisting of two lieutenants and [-] troops to go into the city to find out what was going on. The lieutenant felt itchy and resisted all opinions, and finally joined the vanguard to explore the way.

But who would have thought that instead of benefiting from this, he would snatch the most expensive treasure first, or snatch the most beautiful woman first, etc.

Instead, they were surrounded by heavy troops, ambushed, and completely wiped out...

Seeing that the treasure and the woman were about to be obtained, how could he be ambushed and the whole army wiped out?
His heart was full of resentment.

At the same time, he was also very confused. Wasn't the Youzhou City Gate captured by their own people?But why were there still people hiding in the dark to ambush them after entering the city?
What the hell does this happen?

Before he died, he was in a difficult mood, and finally died with endless resentment and great doubts.

……

outside the city.

Whoosh whoosh!

The rain of arrows like migratory locusts continued to slant down from the city wall.

In addition, there are rolling stones, ash wood, bed crossbows, trebuchets, etc., which are also constantly playing.

At the beginning of the battle, the Liao army under the city wall was caught off guard and was caught off guard. After suffering heavy casualties, they gradually organized a resistance force.

The commander-in-chief of the Liao army, General Hu Yan, no longer searched for Prince Hunxie, but took command on the spot. Soon, the Liao army under the city wall stabilized their formation.

"Fall back five miles!"

General Hu Yan gave the order calmly. He was still neither arrogant nor impetuous. He only lost more than 5000 troops this time, and the tens of thousands of troops behind him are still there.

Although he didn't know why the six thousand elites who sneaked into Youzhou City in advance failed and were tricked...but he knew that the total number of Youzhou defenders did not exceed [-].

And there are more than 4 soldiers under his command, twice as many as Liang Jun!
Therefore, General Hu Yan quickly stabilized his mind, calmly commanded the army to retreat, and waited for the army to finish repairing before attacking the Youzhou defenders who had cheated them.

At this time, a group of about 6000 or [-] people suddenly appeared in Youzhou City, and the momentum was huge.

The two armies immediately fought together.

The Liao army fought and retreated, the formation was not chaotic, and they were very calm.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses came from both sides of the Liao army at the same time, waving flags and shouting with murderous intent. There were about 5000 people on each side.

These two Liang armies were like sharp scissors, thrust in from the rear of the Liao army. Then the two men and horses met and successfully cut off a "tail" of the Liao army.

This tail is very fat and can hold 8000 to [-] men and horses.

They were besieged by [-] Liang troops and were immediately in danger.

Ahead, when General Hu Yan saw this, he became furious and shouted that he would turn back and kill all the Liang troops, and then seize Youzhou City.

The lieutenants tried their best to dissuade them, but to no avail.

Finally, General Huyan waved his hand, and tens of thousands of Liao troops turned around and fought back at the same time.

This time, the Liang army was changed and they fought and retreated. They slowly retreated to the city gate while consuming the enemy army. The seven or eight thousand Liao troops that were cut off before had already been killed or injured, and it was worth it.

Soon, Liang Jun retreated into the city.

And closed the city gate tightly.

The Liao troops fought to the bottom of the city, but were targeted by long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, rolling stones, logs, and trebuchets on the city wall. Suddenly, an offensive and defensive battle broke out in the city.

"Take Youzhou City for me and attack it!"

General Huyan was furious and personally beat drums from the rear to supervise the battle.

The Liao troops rushed forward like a tide, carrying the siege ladder and climbing up desperately.

However, the Liao army was good at cavalry combat, and was not good at siege battles. They were better with more people, so the battle under Youzhou City was once very fierce, and the shouts of killing were loud.
