Chapter 86 Obstructed

The horse army, who was speeding from the mountain road, was so scared that it was so scared. The horse knight immediately exclaimed, and the horns of the alarm sounded terrifyingly, and the war horses stood upright, raising their hooves and neighing, and forcibly slamming their bodies. In a short time, the horse army stopped, wandered, and did not dare to approach the river embankment half a step.

The morale of the Liao army rose sharply, and the soldiers shouted in unison, shouting at the top of their lungs, and the war drums were even more thumping. The cheers instantly broke through the clouds and mist and rushed straight into the sky.

Gao Baolong rushed from behind. The scene in front of him made him stop in shock, and his face suddenly changed.

The Liao people actually set up stone throwing cars on the defense line of the Tribulus Mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there were at least hundreds of whistling stone bullets roaring and flying in the sky, with amazing momentum.

The ice surface was getting thinner and thinner under the burning of the fire, and was hit by the stone bombs continuously and then shattered one after another. Not long after, the ice surface disappeared.

The stone throwing cart was still dropping bombs. The stone bombs hit the ice river, stirring up waves with amazing momentum.

"We urgently report to the general commander, the army was blocked from the back mountain, so we can't get through."

Gao Baolong shook his head repeatedly, feeling very upset. The fire on Youshan killed the rebels. If it weren't for the sudden fire, the back mountain would have been the thing in his pocket.

Li Hu rushed to the front.

The Liao army on the mountain saw the rebels on the mountain road giving way, and a group of people galloped over, among which was a huge "tiger" flag. It was probably because the rebel tiger king arrived. He immediately beat the drum and the stone-throwing cart immediately started, and another gust of storm was flying. The ice river roared, causing waves to soar into the sky, and the deafening sound echoed among the mountains, with a magnificent momentum.

The soldiers of the rebel army changed their expressions. They looked at them foolishly, feeling very frustrated and discouraged. After working hard all night, many brothers died. They thought they could be so powerful that they could be thrown out, but they knew the facts and expectations were the fundamentals. They just jumped out of the trap and fell into the abyss again.

"The bastard raised by the bitch..." Li Hu was not afraid. He opened his mouth and cursed, and was angry.

After the fierce battle lasted for the middle of the night, the rebels suffered great losses and the soldiers were exhausted, but the battle had not been completed and it was getting more and more difficult. Now the main army is besieging the grave in Zuoshan, which is probably a while before it can be taken down, and then moved to the back mountain and fought again. But more than 20 miles away, the Jin army has already attacked. The rebels were attacked by the enemy from both sides and were unsustainable. They were walking on thin ice, as if they were facing an abyss, life and death were hanging on the line, and the situation became more and more sinister.

Li Hu was scolding with his teeth, but his mind kept turning. Scolding was not a matter of anything, and he had to take down the back mountain no matter what. Generally speaking, there was only one way to attack. But if he attacked for a strong attack, this small river alone could swallow thousands of lives. It would never be done if it was purely based on his old fortune.

His eyes moved to both sides of the river. The Liao army destroyed the ice surface of the river on the front. The lower reaches of the river lead to Youshan, while the upper reaches winding into the dense forest in the distance. It is probably the main peak of Targas Mountain. Looking up at the main peak of Targas Mountain, Li Hu suddenly thought of something. When the army blocked Targas Mountain that day, Chu Xiaoyao had suggested that if he wanted to capture Targas Mountain, it would be better to ask a few people from the mountains to see if there were secret paths. After returning to the headquarters, he entrusted the matter to the marching staff field. I don’t know how it was going. Ye looked horrified and looked at the stone bullets in the air in a daze. Li Hu called out two or three times before he realized and stepped forward.

"How are you doing that?" Li Hu said, Yuanye suddenly thought about it. He has been too busy these days, and after handing over this matter to his subordinates, he didn't have time to ask again. In fact, he subconsciously thought there was no need to ask again. Because after capturing Youshan, even if the defense line of the Targas Mountain was obtained, the back mountain could be easily captured. Who would have thought that the defense of the back mountain was so tough? This is the key to the Liao army's defense, and the scouts could not get close to it, so there was no way to detect the stone-throwing cart. Now the army has been blocked from the back mountain, and finding the secret path has become the top priority.

Yuanye hurried to his subordinates and asked about this matter. Not long after, he returned to Li Hu and sent someone to search for it in the nearby mountains. He did find someone, but it seemed useless. "He is a veterinarian, and is said to be specializing in castration for livestock."

Veterinarians? Veterinarians also need to collect medicine. Of course, if it is useful, it may come in handy. "Where is the person?" Li Hu immediately ignited a glimmer of hope. This person must have luck in living in the world. If he is lucky, he will do everything smoothly and cannot stop him. Perhaps he will break through this time.

"I will send someone to bring him right away." Yuanye did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sent someone to do it.

The rebel army had no way to attack the back mountain for the time being. Even if they wanted to attack for a strong force, they would mobilize all infantry troops. Li Hu immediately ordered to concentrate all troops, surround Zuoshan, and take Zuoshan down as soon as possible.

Mao's army's persuasion played a role. The fugitives were desperate at this moment, and staying in the "grave" would mean death. If they surrendered, they would save their heads. Of course, they would have to surrender. However, they were afraid of being killed by the rebel knights and did not even dare to surrender. At this time, some brave people took their leave and threw their weapons and surrendered. Some people walked in front and followed behind. Soon, the fugitives trapped in the fort surrendered one after another, and later they rushed to the fort. Because it was more troublesome to climb over the earthen wall, they pushed open the giant chariot blocking the city gate and ran out of the city gate.

After the escaped soldiers were cleared and unearthed, Mao's army and Tieying immediately commanded the rebels to launch an attack from the front, while Gao Baolong commanded the horse army to launch an attack from behind the castle. The rebel soldiers on the right mountain fired wildly. The Liao defenders were completely suppressed and were in danger every day.

The officials and generals of the royal family had lost their courage. Everyone tried their best to persuade Xiao Gan to withdraw his troops, but Xiao Gan just refused. He wanted to use the defensive formation in the back mountain to block the rebel army and wait for King Yelu Chun of Yan to lead his army to aid. According to his estimate, in another four or five days, the King of Yan's army would definitely arrive.

Some officials believed that Xiao Gan had lost his mind and had become angry after suffering this severe defeat, and he was completely crazy. The rebels and the Jin army joined forces to be strong, while the Liao army was at the end of their strength and their morale was completely lost. As long as the enemy launched a strong attack, the Liao army on the mountain could not hold on at all and would collapse again. At that time, the entire army was wiped out, and Chengzhou immediately handed over and was completely finished.

Just as everyone was persuading her, Xiao Gan's slave, Brother Baidi, suddenly appeared in the tent, "King, the main force of the Jin army appeared in Weizhou, Wanyan Zongwang and this army had arrived at Xiaoquan River."

The tent was raised in an uproar.

Xiao Gan was stunned.

The main force of the Jin army? Isn’t the main force of the Jin army on the battlefield ahead? Everyone saw the overwhelming horse army and almost all the foreigners. This is not the Jin people’s horse army, is it still the rebels? How could there be foreign soldiers in the rebels? This is simply impossible.

A group of officials of the royal palace, generals of the Xi army, and generals of the guards, were even less convinced. They witnessed it with their own eyes and were beaten to the forbidden soldiers. The land was indeed the Jin army, and there would be no mistake. The reason for the defeat tonight was not because of the rebels, but because of the Jurchens. The rebels and the Jin army fought fiercely a few days ago, which was a lie and a trick to lure the enemy. Brother Baidi was Xiao Gan's confidant, and he kept taking the scouts to investigate the enemy's situation between Tarras Mountain and Weizhou. His words would not be wrong. Brother Baidi said that yesterday afternoon, a scout found the main force of the Jin army in Weizhou, but he himself did not believe it, so he personally ran to Weizhou to verify it. The result was true, with 30,000 to 40,000 horse and infantry troops, and the Fan and Han army. In the early morning, he was about to return to the account to report, but found that the army marched towards Tarras Mountain and arrived at Xiaoquan River at dawn.

Xiao Gan and everyone were a little stunned and couldn't figure it out.

If Wanyan Zong Wangdi's army had just arrived at Mount Targas today, then the battle between the rebels and the Jin people in these three days was real, not a trick to lure the enemy. From this, the siege of the Liao army at night was all rebels, but where did the foreign soldiers come from? Last night, the scouts were staring at the Jin army camp in Xiaoquan River. Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zongbi (Wushu) were all there, and they had approached the rear of the rebels at dawn. In other words, the siege of the Liao army at night was not the army of Loushi and Zongbi.

Neither Lou Shi and Zong Bi's army nor Zong Wang's army. Could it be Zong Han's army? This seems even more impossible and cannot stand scrutiny at all, because Zong Han wants to guard the front line of Yizhou, so he cannot transfer the main army to Mount Targas and ambush in the rebel camp for several days.

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility that the rebel Li Hu may have surrendered foreign soldiers after the end of the Battle of Bison Yuan. Only by speculating in this way can the matter be explained more reasonably.

This immediately overturned Xiao Gan's previous judgment. The rebels and the Jin people turned against each other, and the thief leader Li Hu had considerable strength. However, in the battle tonight, the rebels also suffered losses. After all, there was no news about the four horse troops including the Xi army, Yaoli, and it was probably the entire army was wiped out. The Xi people would not surrender easily. If the rebels wanted to wipe out them completely, they would have to pay a heavy price.

The rebels were damaged, the soldiers were exhausted, and they failed to completely capture the defense line of Mount Targas. If the Jin army launched an attack and took advantage of the situation, the rebels would be in danger. The target of the attack of the Jin army was obviously not to eliminate the rebels, but to drive the rebels into Zhongjing Road, and then take the opportunity to attack Caogu, and plunder the rebels' property, population, and livestock. This kills two birds with one stone, making it easy and cheap.
