Chapter 12: Rainy Day


When he heard that Kang Li'an Ding had run back to Yanjing with about a hundred soldiers, Yelu Dashi immediately called for him.

In the main hall of Yanjing Mansion, Kang Li'an sat on a chair.

He ran all the way and traveled for two days and two nights before returning to Yanjing.

His lips were chapped.

After drinking three cups of tea in succession, Kangli'an Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Kang Li'an was out of breath, Yelu Dashi shouted: "Commander Kang Li, please tell us in detail how Anxi City was lost.

This is related to the safety of Yanjing.

I want to know the truth."

"Good day" After Kang Li'an Ding told the story of the loss of Anxi City in detail, Yelu Dashi was shocked.

"Are you sure the enemy's firearms are so powerful?

A single shot can smash a big hole in the city wall.

The female wall and the archery tower were all destroyed in the attack."

Kangli Anding shouted angrily: "Yes, I'm sure, otherwise do you think I would abandon the city and run away so easily?"

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said: "You are the uncle of the Liao Kingdom and have a high position.

Even if you go there, you will not be able to get a better status than you are now.

That is why I entrust Anxi City to you.

I just I didn’t expect that the firearm would be so powerful that it couldn’t even defend it for a day, forcing you to abandon the city and flee.”

Kang Lianding sighed and said: "You have never seen the scene that day.

When the firearm was fired, it was like fireworks all over the sky, making the sky extremely bright.

My men didn't dare to stay at the top of the city.

They even gave up on the top of the city. , where can I still hold on?”

When Yelu Dashi heard Kang Li'an's description, his brows knitted together, like the word "Sichuan".

"If it is really as you said, it will be difficult for Yanjing to defend itself."

Kang Li'an was silent for a long time, and in the end he didn't come up with a plan.

He could only say helplessly: "The commander-in-chief will make plans early in the morning."

Yelu Dashi closed his eyes and kept thinking about how to deal with the firearm.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yelu Dashi finally opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since we can't defend, then fight.

I decided to go out of the city and fight with the enemy in the field."

Hearing Yelu Dashi said that he wanted to fight in the field, Kang Li'an was startled and said: "Commander, I told you.

In addition to the firearms that were like thunder in the Song Dynasty, they also had a firearm similar to rockets.

The range is amazing, it can hit our army within a hundred steps, and the rate of fire is not slow.

Our cavalry can't get within fifty steps of them."

Yelu Dashi nodded, "I know.

Don't worry, I won't act rashly.

But anything that is good for fire will definitely not be good for water.

I will attack on rainy days, attacking from three sides at the same time, making it difficult for him to look at the head and tail."

When Kang Lianding heard Yelu Dashi's explanation, he thought about it and felt that what he said made sense and could be said to be the most beneficial to the Liao army.

He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's really feasible.

Why didn't I think of it before?"

Yelu Dashi comforted him and said, "Your previous arrangements were not wrong, it's just that neither you nor I thought that the Yan army would have that new type of firearm.

Now that we know it, we can naturally deal with it by not forgetting the past and being the master of the future."

Commander Kangli, you should understand that once you lose Yan Beijing, without Yanjing's food, grass and weapons, it will be difficult for us in Daliao to make a comeback.

I decided to lead 40,000 troops to attack, and can only leave 3,000 troops to garrison Yanjing.

After I leave the city, you close the four cities.

Unless you see me with your own eyes, you must not open the city gate, you hear me?"

Kang Lianding stood up and shouted: "The last general honors your order."

"Okay, I'll leave Yanjing City to you.

I'll lead the troops out of the city and wait for the opportunity," Yelu Dashi shouted.

Beat drums and gather the generals in front of the civil and military officials of Yanjing.

After Yelu Dashi handed over the command seal of Yanjing to Kangli'an Ding and ordered the whole city to obey Kangli'an Ding's order, Yelu Dashi personally led Yelu Guozhen, Yelu Guobao, Yao'er Weikang and Ye Qing, the minister.

Minister Jinfu left the city with 40,000 soldiers and horses.

It was rainy in February.

It's not like the rain will clear up after a heavy rain, and the sun will shine brightly.

Sometimes it rains heavily, and sometimes it stops for a while.

But anyway, it was a humid and overcast day all day.

Makes people feel uncomfortable Riding on horseback, Hua Rong wore a raincoat and said, "Commander, the Holy Father has reminded us that rainy weather is not conducive to our army's artillery and artillery, so we should be careful."

When Lin Chong heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

In the past, the Liao Kingdom hated rainy days, because when it rained, the ground would be slippery, which was not conducive to cavalry charges.

But I didn't expect that it would be detrimental to our army now.

Lin Chong nodded and said, "Okay, I understand.

I will ask Qin Ming to lead the cavalry around and be vigilant at all times.

But General Hua, you don't have to worry too much.

I also brought a lot of people to build this expedition."

It’s a good gadget to test whether it can deal with the Liao army.”

Hua Rong heard it and shuddered when he thought of the so-called "gadgets" he had seen in the military.

I don’t know who came up with those gadgets.

They are simply too insidious.

"As long as Lin Dianshuai is prepared, the general will be relieved," Hua Rong said.

Although Lin Chong made the arrangements, Hua Rong still ordered his men to keep the dànyào qingzhi safe.

The dànyào qingzhi must not be used when the war is about to start.

Yelu Dashi led the army to wander around the Yan army, and sent several spies to monitor the Yan army at all times.

As long as it rained, they would pounce on them like wolves.

But God was very disrespectful to Yelu Dashi.

The weather was gloomy, but it didn't rain.

Yelu Dashi was very anxious.

Seeing that the Yan army was about to attack Yanjing City in two days.

If it doesn't rain again, Yelu Dashi will grit his teeth and take the risk.

I spent the whole day anxiously, and when it was night, it hadn't rained in three days.

The rain, which was less than the size of sand, wetted Yelu Dashi's face.

Reach out and touch the rain on your face, Yelu Dashi laughed wildly and shouted: "If God does not destroy us, we will be Liao; if God does not destroy us, we will be Liao."

General Jie'er Weikang saw the coach laughing wildly and couldn't help but persuade him: "Commander, shouldn't we take the opportunity to attack?"

Yelu Dashi came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Guozhen, you lead 10,000 troops to attack the enemy's right wing.

Guozhen, you lead 10,000 troops to attack the enemy's left side.

I personally led 20,000 troops to attack the enemy's center." .

Attack from three sides, we must defeat the enemy and defend Yanjing."

Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao also knew that this battle was related to the safety of Yanjing.

Unlike others, they, the royal family, were closely related to the honor and disgrace of the Liao Dynasty.

They roared: "The last general respects the order and will fight to the death to kill the enemy and serve the country with death."

They roared and led their troops towards the enemy.

The sound of thundering hoofbeats was like dust in the sky.

When the spies wandering around saw it, Pegasus rushed back to report to Lin Chong.

"Report, there are enemy troops coming from the left, about 10,000 soldiers and horses."

"Report, there are enemy troops coming from the right, about 10,000 soldiers and horses."

"Report, there are enemy troops rushing towards the middle road.

About 10,000 soldiers and horses saw the enemy's commander's flag."

After hearing the spy's report, Lin Chong's eyes went cold as he was riding on horseback.

Damn it, no wonder these guys haven't taken action.

It turns out they were waiting for this opportunity.

Fortunately, the marshal had thought about this problem early on, and the artillery battalion was also prepared early on.

Lin Chong shouted coldly: "Three groups are attacking together.

They want to outflank us!

Send an order to Qin Ming, and order him to lead the flying leopard cavalry to stop the soldiers and horses on the left.

Send one soldier and one soldier over, I will take him ask" Lin Chong looked at Hua Rong and shouted: "General Hua, can your musketeers still fight at this time?"

Hua Rong didn't even want to think about it and shouted: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the general has been prepared early in the morning and will definitely not make any mistakes."

Lin Chong shouted: "Okay, then I'll leave it to General Hua on the right.

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu."

"The general is here," Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu shouted in unison.

Lin Chong shouted: "I will give you 20,000 troops.

Be sure to protect General Hua and the Musketeers Battalion.

If anything happens to them, I will ask you for it."

The implication is that once Hua Rong's musket battalion fails to work, you will lead your troops to resist.

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu also knew Hua Rong's identity and hurriedly raised their hands and shouted: "Your Majesty, the last general."

After Lin Chong finished giving his instructions, he turned around and shouted to Yanshun and the others: "Let's go and see the Yelv Stone in person."

The Yan army has always been strict in training and followed the delivery of military orders.

The marching Yan army stopped after hearing the order and quickly adjusted.

Hua Rong, who was responsible for the defense on the right side, heard the rumble of horse hooves in the distance and looked up to see flying dust all over the sky.

Hua Rong immediately shouted: "The whole army is on alert, don't panic, maintain the formation.

The musketeers are ready to apply medicine and listen to my orders."

Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and others helped push the carriage to the side to block the cavalry's attack.

Following years of training, the musketeers quickly took out the medicine package from the grain pile, put it into their satchel, took out the paper dànyào, and put it on the dànyào.

In this era, there was no primer and no way to make copper-cased bullets.

In order to prevent the sun from getting wet in rainy days, Shi Jin could only adopt the most unpretentious method.

It is usually to wrap the huoyào and stuff it into rice.

Rice absorbs water vapor easily and is moisture-proof.

In wartime, it is also easy.

It was just an ordinary soldier standing next to a musketeer holding an umbrella to protect the musketeer from moisture.

As for whether people will get wet, that doesn't matter.

Yelu Guozhen led the cavalry and ran closer.

When he saw that the enemy saw so many cavalry on his side, they were not afraid, let alone fled.

Instead, they quickly formed a defensive formation.

Yelu Guozhen frowned, feeling secretly worried.

Could it be that their firearms are not afraid of water?

Yelu Guozhen, who couldn't figure it out, didn't bother to think about it anymore.

He rushed over and found out everything clearly.

As for being unable to rush through.

Of course, there is no need to think about it anymore.

Yelu Guozhen blew the horn, and the rapid and high-pitched sound of the horn spread across the battlefield.

The Khitan cavalry, which always liked to line up in a cone formation to attack the enemy, divided into loose formations this time and charged towards the Musket Battalion over the mountains and plains.

In daily training, the musketeer battalion responds to various situations.

I did a lot of targeted training, including this situation.

When you see your enemies scattered, you want to surround yourself.

Hua Rong shouted loudly: "Line up a long horizontal snake formation.

After hearing my order, you can shoot as many pieces as you want, as fast as you can."

The musketeers standing in the two rows behind immediately ran to both sides.

As soon as they reached their position, they immediately raised their muskets and took aim.

Khitan warriors were riding on horseback.

They nocked arrows and pointed them at the sky.

As soon as they ran into range, they would use their bows and arrows to deal merciless blows to the enemy.

The Khitan cavalry visually measured the distance, only a hundred steps away.

When they were calculating how far away they were before they could loosen the bowstring, they saw the enemy rushing into the shooting range.

Hua Rong roared: "Fire!"

The three thousand musketeers immediately pulled the trigger, and the three thousand bullets formed an approximately straight iron line and swept across, shooting at the Khitan cavalry with a sharp whistling sound.

When the Khitan cavalry wanted to get closer and shoot, the Yan army musketeers had already counterattacked.

It just seemed like a black shadow was flying towards them.

Many Khitan cavalrymen could not see clearly when they were flying towards them, and they immediately felt as if their bodies had been hit by something.

Even if they were protected by leather armor, the high-speed impact allowed bullets to easily penetrate their bodies.

The impact made them scream and fall backwards.

The advancing Khitan cavalry suddenly fell to the ground like dumplings, and their forward speed also slowed down a bit.

Many war horses were shot through by bullets, with blood spurting from their necks, and they plunged into the ground, knocking soldiers off their horses.

After firing a shot, the musketeers quickly took out the paper shells from their satchels and loaded them with dànyào.

At this time, the surviving Khitan cavalry were still rushing forward with the inertia of their horses.

There were only sixty steps left between the two armies.

The Khitan cavalry quickly loosened their strings, and sharp arrows fell rapidly from the sky.

With the strong inertia of falling from high altitude, the sharp arrows easily penetrated the firemen who were only wearing simple leather vests.

Gunner.

However, the Khitan cavalry formation was too scattered, and many people were killed and injured under the musket fire just now.

In this round of shooting, seven or eight people were killed and about twenty musketeers were injured.

Seeing this wave of arrows raining down, the opponent had casualties of more than ten or twenty people.

Yelu Guozhen shouted, "Kill them quickly and cut off their heads with a knife."

After roaring, he knocked his feet first and controlled the horse to move forward.

Seeing the enemy troops continue to attack, Hua Rong immediately shouted: "Keep shooting, don't stop."

We are about to reach the enemy thirty steps away.

As long as we get in, the cavalry will dominate.

Yelu Guozhen raised his saber and showed a cruel smile : :
