Duan Ling grabbed the medicine and went back to boil it for Cai Yan, who hummed weakly.
"Is he here?" Cai Yan asked.
"Who?" Duan Ling said, "My father? He's been here."
Cai Yan said "um", and Duan Ling said again, "I didn't practice swords today."
Cai Yan slowly let out a long breath. Duan Ling boiled the medicine and asked him to get up to drink. When he was supporting him, the cloth bag was hanging from his neck, holding the red thread. When I took it out, I took it out to see it.
"I heard that on the first day you came to Mingtang, you fought with Batu because of this." Cai Yan took the cloth bag and said, "Is it a piece of jade?"
Duan Ling said, "Well, take your medicine."
Cai Yan smiled and said, "Batu has always been curious about what's inside, but he doesn't dare to invite you again." Then he touched the outside with his hand, and stuffed Duan Ling back into his single coat, saying, "Half a piece of jade. , and the half ring is Huang."
"It's Yuhuang." Duan Ling replied.
Cai Yan lay down after drinking the medicine, and Duan Ling said, "I gave you a heavy medicine. You should sleep well tonight, and you should be fine."
This night, Duanling put the sword under the pillow, laying on the sword, unable to fall asleep, his heart was full of his father's iron horse Jinge, thinking of him cutting people's heads at one time, and thinking of his infallible arrows, majestic and powerful .
At midnight, Cai Yan was lying on the bed gasping for breath, the dark clouds covered the moon, and the rain began to fall again.
In the quiet long street, the horse's hoof broke through the stagnant water and passed by with a low muffled sound. Duan Ling sat up and peeked out. He felt that many soldiers passed by not far away and rushed to the north gate, but the sound was different from ordinary war horses." "Delo" and "Delo"'s voices are not the same, they appear lower.
The army in charge of the sneak attack consisted of 4,000 people, with cloth wrapped around their horses' hooves. Under the leadership of Li Jianhong, they quietly passed through the north gate, bypassed the hills, and headed to the rear of the Yuan army in the east.
At the same time, the Yuan army also bypassed the south and went to attack the west gate of Shangjing.
In the rainy jungle, Yelu Dashi and Li Jianhong each wore a suit of battle armor.
"As you expected, it's not bad." Yelu Dashi said, "The false information handed out really worked."
Li Jianhong replied: "What I'm most worried about now is that there are too few troops outside the North Gate and the West Gate."
Yelu Dashi replied, "I'm even more worried about putting the main force on the city wall, Okuotai is not so smart!"
Li Jianhong said: "Yelü Dashi, don't blame me for being alarmist, you must let Cai Wen send a team of soldiers to guard it."
Yelu Dashi looked at Li Jianhong.
"Li Jianhong, I'm the head coach." Yelu Dashi said, "Divided!"
Li Jianhong had no choice but to give up, and with Yelu Dashi scattered down the hills, the troops split in two, and silently approached the enemy's rear. The full month of siege and perseverance is waiting for tonight. After negotiating with Yelu Dashi, Li Jianhong and Yelu Dashi unanimously decided to fight a war of attrition with the Yuan army. First, it was delayed until the beginning of the autumn, and then a messenger was sent to deliver false information, so they were intercepted by the Yuan army as expected, and they chose tonight as expected. .
The Yuan army had already arrived at the west gate, and quietly erected the siege ladder.
Cai Wen led the Patrol Division and erected a cold and icy arrow.
Li Jianhong led the 2,000 elites, treading a dull drum beat on the ground, and kept approaching the rear of the Yuan army.
"Kill!" Li Jianhong roared.
"Kill—" Two thousand death squads rushed into the camp of the Yuan army, and the flames were everywhere. The kerosene and cupping cans exploded, the horses neighed, and the grain and grass warehouses were on fire, reflecting in the sky.
A Yuan army held a torch high and rushed to the Mingjin platform. Li Jianhong galloped at a gallop and shot an arrow. The Yuan army fell on the golden bell, blood splashing everywhere.
"Kill—" Yelu Dashi led the army to outflank, igniting the oil depot, and the fire burst.
At the same time, the leader of the Yuan army roared and directed the catapult to throw batches of burning cups into the city of Shangjing.
The fire broke out, and the city defense department began to release arrows. The Yuan army was on the ground, and the messenger from the rear came to report that the camp was attacked. Then stones and arrows poured down from the city tower like a torrential rain. The Yuan army knew the plan. . Wo Kuotai led the army to charge, roaring loudly, and Yelu Dashi began to charge the flank.
Yelu Dashi spoke the Liao language, and Okuotai spoke the Mongolian language, and both sides cursed.
"What do you do with so much scolding!" Li Jianhong roared, "Murder! Stop scolding!"
After Li Jianhong burned the Yuan army base camp, he led his army to rush in. The third army joined the battlefield. Under the west gate of Beijing, it was like a meat grinder. The three retreat routes of the Yuan army were blocked at the same time, leaving one opening. It is reasonable to say that The army should retreat to the south, but Okuotai made a bold decision - to break through in the direction of Yelu Dashi.
As soon as Li Jianhong saw the change, he secretly said that it was bad, and an arrow flew away, killing the messenger immediately on the horse, but he could not stop it. Unable to retreat, Wo Kuotai led the main force to attack Yelu Dashi suddenly.
The Yuan army came like a tide, Yelu Dashi was caught off guard, the team was scattered, and hurriedly withdrew from the center force. Li Jianhong led the army to kill like a sharp knife. The arrow in Yelu Dashi fell from the horse. With one shot, he picked up the horse again.
"Open the city gate!" Li Jianhong roared.
The south gate opened, and the 20,000 people who had been in ambush finally burst out, while Okuotai was fleeing towards the north gate. When Li Jianhong saw the escape route of Wokuotai, he immediately rushed back to the south gate, passed directly through Shangjing, and headed to the north gate to attack Wokuotai.
The Liao army was more than 20,000, the Yuan army had killed nearly 10,000, and only 40,000 were left. The fierce battle between the north gate and the west gate, and the vanguard of Wokuotai had rushed to the north gate, and the cups flew all over the place. All the buildings in the North Gate were burned into a sea of fire.
The cup was thrown into the city wall, drew an arc, and fell into the courtyard of the Biyong Hall. It exploded with a "bang", and the flames jumped instantly.
Duan Ling woke up in an instant.
Everyone was shouting, the door rang, the teenagers ran out barefoot, Duan Ling grabbed the sword, shook Cai Yan, and the flames had burned outside the door.
"The Yuan army has come in!" Someone shouted.
"Don't panic!" Duan Ling jumped out of the window and shouted, "Go west!"
The teenagers who lived near Duanling all came out, and someone shouted: "Go to war! The city is broken! You can't surrender!"
"How to fight! Empty-handed into a white blade?!" Duan Ling shouted, "Run first! Don't be brave!"
Many people are still discussing, Duan Ling said displeased: "Then you stay, don't accompany!"
"I! Go!" Helianbo shouted.
"Wait a minute!" Everyone was busy chasing Duan Ling and followed.
"What about the festival?!"
"Don't worry about it!" Duan Ling said loudly, "I don't even care about my own life!"
"Take the bow and arrow!"
"Pick it up from outside!" Duan Ling said while running, holding the sword.
The Tang Festival appeared and shouted: "Don't panic! Everyone runs along the back alley! Go to the place where the fire is not on! Meet at the famous hall!"
Several people had rushed out of the alley, Duan Ling looked around, remembered the escape route that his father said, so he ignored the name and ran towards the west city.
Yelu Dashi's strength was limited, and almost all the troops and horses were mobilized. Tonight, Wo Kuotai's troops were to be wiped out. Therefore, the defense of the north gate was extremely weak. The city gate was broken in less than a quarter of an hour. into the city.
At this time, Cai Wen led the city defense army to quickly return to the north gate. The Yuan army had rushed into the city with nearly 2,000 people and scattered into the streets. The houses burned and collapsed one after another. The patrol army desperately resisted and forced the Yuan army back to Beicheng District.
There was a fire in the Biyong Hall. The servant was carrying a bucket to put out the fire, but he was shot dead by the Yuan army. Duan Ling didn't care about finding someone, turned around and drew the sword, and the sword light flashed. He swung a sword from his side, and when he saw that Duan Ling was about to be cut in half, Duan Ling instinctively swung his sword, the blade of the sword pointed upward, facing the momentum of the Yuan army's slashing, the blade and the sword were staggered, and the Yuan soldier half. The arm was removed immediately!
The Yuan army fell from the horse, and Duan Ling shouted, "Run!"
Everyone rushed out of the alley, and there was chaos along the way. Many buildings in the two roads were on fire. The soldiers of the Yuan Army and the Patrol Division had killed dead bodies everywhere. Cai Yan shouted: "Back! Back!"
Helianbo, Cai Yan, Duan Ling and a group of classmates picked up bows and arrows on the ground, and they could not tell whether it was from the Liao army or the Yuan army. They retreated into the alley, and the three picked up wooden boards, bucket lids and other objects and pushed them forward to block them. When it was a shield, behind it was a group of scholars shooting indiscriminately.
"I shot one!" a teenager shouted excitedly.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the patrol department, Cai Yan shouted, "Brother! Brother!"
When it was too late, a Yuan army crashed into their defense line. Duan Ling immediately turned around and slashed the horse's leg with a sword. The soldier screamed strangely, rushed forward, pulled out his saber to kill, but Duan Ling turned around again. The sword hit the back and killed the Yuan army.
Duan Ling: "..."
There were more and more Yuan troops. Seeing that the Patrol Division could no longer resist, all the Yuan troops rushed into the alley. Duan Ling thought that this was going to be troublesome, and Cai Yan asked, "Run?"
"Can't run!" Duan Ling said, "As soon as they run, they will shoot arrows! Retreat! Retreat!"
The Yuan army took turns to attack with the power of war horses, and when the line of defense was about to be broken, another roar sounded outside the alley.
"Wokuotai!" Li Jianhong's voice resounded throughout the world.
Duan Ling's eyes widened. At that moment, Wanli Benxiao leaped on all fours, stepped on the roof of the bungalow outside the alley, and carried Li Jianhong, who was wearing blood-stained armor, towards the alley. Li Jianhong held the rivers and mountains with his left hand, and a long halberd in his right hand, like the god of swords and soldiers. In just a few breaths, he cut off the Yuan army along the way, cut off his limbs, blood spattered, and even soldiers and horses were cut into pieces. two halves!
Immediately afterwards, Li Jianhong lost his horse, rushed out of the alley, joined the reinforcements again, and killed the Yuan soldiers who had invaded the north gate.
The situation of the battle reversed again. Duan Ling and others rushed out of the alley. In the blink of an eye, Li Jianhong had no idea where they had gone. In front of them were the Liao and Yuan soldiers who were on the front line of life and death. The Yuan soldiers retreated step by step and were expelled again. After entering the North Gate, the Liao troops who were fighting were all riding tall horses and wearing iron armor. Duan Ling looked like Li Jianhong to everyone.
"Dad..." Duan Ling was about to call, but Helianbo grabbed his arm and avoided the rushing horse from behind.
"Go!" Cai Yan shouted.
More than ten teenagers crossed the main street and entered the Xicheng District. Although Duan Ling was thinking about his father, he did not dare to mess around. Not to mention that Cai Yan was still ill, and everyone fled into the alley. The sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and three Yuan soldiers rode their horses. When they rushed, the arrows were shot in all directions, and everyone shouted, but Duan Ling rushed towards the galloping horse. Helianbo and Cai Yan each held a wooden plank and rushed into the alley to defend Duan Ling from the arrows. Suddenly there were three sounds, and the Yuan army fell from the horse.
Li Jianhong rode his horse and stopped outside the alley, the sky was gradually rising, and the screams of killing were still heard outside.
"Go into the alley and go west of the city." Li Jianhong said, "Go from the famous hall, don't turn on the lights."
The teenagers entered one after another through the back door of a house. Duan Ling walked at the end, turned around and looked up at Li Jianhong.
"I saw a lot of children just now." Li Jianhong gasped, but did not dismount, and whispered to Duan Ling, "I always felt wrong, I thought that I could save one or the other. Fortunately, I came over and took a look."
Duan Ling's tears fell for some reason, Li Jianhong pointed to the side room, motioned him to leave quickly, and said, "I'm going."
