Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just as Yelu Dashi turned the horse's head, there was another loud noise, more than ten times louder than the sound of exploding the pontoon bridge just now, and the whole ground shook.  *Literature Hall*

    Chao Yong was more than a mile away from the explosion site and felt pain in his eardrums.  In order to minimize casualties, Chao Yong did not save any black powder and placed a full 500 kilograms of black powder in the tunnel.

    He didn¡¯t want to blow up the leading general, he just wanted to give the Liao soldiers a show of strength, cause chaos to the Liao soldiers, and then take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the Liao soldiers.  Therefore, the location is easy to choose. It should not be too far to the left and right of the pontoon bridge. After the Liao soldiers cross the river, they will definitely gather troops nearby to protect the pontoon bridge.

    Smoke filled the air, dust flew, screams of joy, screams of terror, and war horses neighed in fright.

    A huge crater suddenly appeared at the place where the explosion occurred. Broken limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere, and the number of casualties among the Liao soldiers was countless.

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that this loud noise frightened all the Liao soldiers¡¯ horses, causing them to run wildly and turn their horses upside down. An unknown number of them died under the hooves of their fellow horses behind them.

    "Heaven's punishment"

    A Liao soldier jumped off his horse, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted desperately.

    After shouting a few times, he was trampled to the ground by the frightened horses behind him, and then trampled by an unknown number of horses.

    But it attracted more Liao people, ignoring the war horses running around everywhere, jumping off their horses and kneeling on the ground.

    Five hundred kilograms of black powder exploded and the ground shook. Many war horses had their hooves broken and fell to the ground.

    In the eyes of many Liao people, this is not gunpowder, but a punishment from heaven. Only God has the power to shake the entire ground.

    Not to mention the war horses on the south bank were running around, even the horses on the north bank were frightened.

    Yelu Yanxi and a group of generals were standing by the river, waiting to cross.

    The pontoon bridge was suddenly blown apart, Yelu Yanxi was startled, and the war horse under his crotch also jumped like a thunder.  However, Yelu Yanxi was also a person who rode on horseback all day long, and his riding skills were naturally superb. He was not thrown off by the horse, but instead gradually calmed the horse down.

    Unexpectedly, before the war horses calmed down, there was another loud noise, and the ground could be felt trembling across the river.  The war horse immediately panicked, neighed, and rushed straight into the river.

    Yelu Yanxi was also frightened by the dusty formation on the other side.  When he reacted, the man and his horse had already splashed into the water.

    Can Yelu Yanxi know how to swim?

    He knows how to eat, drink and have fun, there is nothing he can¡¯t do for this person who goes hunting every day.

    Yelu Yanxi entered the water.  After taking a sip of water, he kicked off his beloved horse and swam towards the shore.

    "Save the Emperor"

    Xiao Feng, who was behind, saw a chance to perform first and immediately shouted, ran into the river and fished out the emperor.

    "Save the Emperor"

    "Save the Emperor"

    "Xiao Fengxian's voice immediately caused the Liao people who had not crossed the river to explode. Everyone by the river shouted.  Dismount and go rescue the emperor.

    People behind who didn¡¯t know why also rushed forward, and many people were squeezed into the river alive.

    Many soldiers on the south bank were scared out of their wits. When they heard people shouting to save the emperor, many timid ones jumped directly into the river.  Swim to the north shore.

    Although he was a deserter, it can be said that he saved the emperor afterwards.

    Chao Yong naturally would not miss the good opportunity. Once the Liao soldiers were in chaos, he immediately led his troops to attack the Liao soldiers.

    Dong Ping¡¯s horse army was waiting several miles away.  Hearing a loud noise, he also roared.

    Thunder, little rain

    This battle was a complete anticlimax.  Before the war, both sides seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, but no one expected that after five hundred kilograms of black powder were blasted together, it would become a farce.

    Chao Yong rushed forward with an army of 50,000. The Liao soldiers were unable to control their horses. Many of them knelt on the ground and prayed. They did not even know how to resist when swords and axes were thrown at them.

    Li Kui didn¡¯t know how many Liao soldiers he killed, and they were all covered in blood and looked like demons.

    Chao Yong didn't take much time to reach the river. He returned to see Li Kui killing the prisoners there, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill even if you abandon your weapons."

    Faceless Jiao Ting, who had been monitoring Li Kui, heard the prince's order and quickly grabbed Li Kui.

    Li Kui glared at Jiao Ting and said, "These are Liao dogs. Why don't you kill the people who killed our people?"

    Jiao Ting shook his head and said: "The prince has an order, you can ask the prince."

    Li Kui raised his eyebrows, walked up to Chao Yong, and said, "Keeping these Liao dogs is useless. Is it possible that the prince still wants to recruit them?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Sell for money."

    Li Kui frowned and thought for a while.??¡°Sold to a rich man to be his servant?¡±

    Chao Yong gestured to the back and said with a smile: "No, sell it to the Emperor of Liao on the other side."

    Li Kui stared at him and said, "Are they willing to pay?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "It is the time for Liao to recruit people, and we have also captured some generals. They will definitely want them."

    Li Kui scratched his head and said: "But if you sell it to them, they might cross the river and kill our people again. In my opinion, the killing is still clean."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The Liao people don't have much troops to go south. Now that they know we are not easy to mess with, they don't dare to provoke another war."

    Seeing what Chao Yong said, Li Kui could only carry an ax to kill the resisting Liao soldiers.

    Speaking of Wu Yanguang, he was also startled by the explosion, but when he thought of the sound of the cannon that blew up the bridge, he knew it was Liang Guo's artillery.  But he could calm down, but his horse could not. It hunched over like crazy and rushed sideways, knocking over several Liao soldiers.

    Wu Yanguang saw that he could not calm the horses, and if he allowed the horses to charge, he would be out of the battlefield, so he could only abandon the horses and prepare to fight on foot with Liang's troops.

    This guy is very difficult to deal with. He is brave enough to fight, and he wears three layers of armor: a layer of chain-linked iron armor on the inside, a layer of sea animal skin armor in the middle, and a chain-locked golden armor on the outside.  If an ordinary soldier faced him and slashed with his sword, he would only be able to cut through two layers of his armor and would not be able to injure him.

    For a time, he killed many people.

    But Da Dao Guan Sheng was near him, and he had already gone out to kill him. When he saw Wu Yanguang killing his soldiers behind him, he turned around and came back to kill him.

    One of the two wields the Mixed Iron Point Steel Spear, and the other wields the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, both of which are long weapons. If there are some restricted moves on horseback, the two of them can fight with astonishing force while off the horse, even though both of them are wearing full body armor.  , but it did not hinder them from moving around at all. As soon as the two started fighting, no one within ten feet dared to enter.

    But soon, the situation of the two fighting alone was broken.

    "Eat Grandpa's axe."

    A big black man shouted and broke into the fighting circle between the two, slashing at Wu Yanguang crazily with his axe.

    As soon as Li Kui took the lead, the surrounding generals who were already jealous swarmed forward.

    Wu Yanguang resisted for several rounds with his spear, and then Yan Qing bullied him from behind. He tripped and fell to the ground, and then everyone held Wu Yanguang down and captured him.

    Choujun Ma Xuanzan twisted one of Wu Yanguang¡¯s arms, shook his head and said, ¡°Who is the one who caught this?¡±

    Li Kui squeezed Xiang Chong and Li Gun away, and walked out, saying, "It's really disappointing, but I didn't kill them."

    This black guy didn¡¯t take a fancy to Wu Yanguang¡¯s chained golden armor. He just killed some Liao soldiers and saw that there was only fighting here, so he rushed in.

    The other leaders felt that Wu Yanguang should be a general of the Liao Kingdom, so they stayed around to see if there was any chance.

    However, Guan Sheng and Wu Yanguang were fighting fiercely, and they were too embarrassed to take credit until Li Kui showed up to disrupt the situation, and that was it.

    The highest-ranking among the generals is Guan Sheng, who also fought with Wu Yanguang before. Ma Xuanzan of Chou County was his deputy general, and Yan Qing was Lu Junyi's deputy general.

    Guan Sheng looked at the few people, and didn't want to hurt the harmony, and said with a smile: "Let's just say we worked together to catch this guy. Okay, let's take him over. The prince is still waiting over there."

    Everyone turned around and saw that many generals had captured General Liao and asked the prince for merit by the pontoon bridge, so they escorted Wu Yanguang to the pontoon bridge.

    Yelu Dashi was caught by Zhang Zhang. His martial arts skills were not outstanding to begin with, and Zhang Zhang¡¯s steel spear was elusive. The two of them fought for more than ten times, and Yelu Dashi was captured.

    When the dust from the explosions all settled down, the fighting on the south bank was over. Thousands of Liao soldiers were driven into the river. Except for a few who could swim, most of them drowned in the river.

    Thousands of people were trampled to death, and some were killed by bombings. A few were killed by soldiers and horses, and the rest were all taken as prisoners. Almost half of the prisoners were so frightened by the explosion that they knelt on the ground, obediently.  Surrendered.
