Raiders Guide

No matter how you prepare, why don't you want it to come, what should come will always come. On a sunny day, Yan Yushu was dining in the Taihua Hall, and a soldier rushed in scrambling: "National teacher, national teacher, the Khitan army is still here!" It’s five miles to the city of Chang’an.”

Finally, the 5000 people left behind, who are not waiting in fear, now that they are facing a sword, they can only continue.

Yan Yushu put down the bowl, got up and left, Nan Zhi followed behind.

"Young Master." Chun Yu called out, "You have to hide behind!"

"Where are you talking?" Yan Yushu stopped, looked back at the two girls, turned and left.

On the day Yan Yuping left, he arranged for Chunyu Dongmei to go with her, but the two of them refused to leave and wanted to follow him. Now, it was up to fate.

When Yan Yushu arrived on the tower, everyone was ready to go, and Ji Muxian was wearing a black armor, standing above the city gate with a knife in his hand, with a solemn look on his face.

Yan Yushu walked over, the outside of the city was still peaceful, and the sky was still sunny.

"Do you regret staying?" Yan Yushu asked Ji Muxian who was beside him, he might not have stayed.Now that the army is overwhelming, there is no chance to leave.

"Some things, if you do your best, you don't feel ashamed if you fail, but if you leave, you have a guilty conscience."

There are many people in Chang'an City, and there are many people who have not had time to evacuate. What they can do is to buy more time for them.

This person bears blood and deep hatred, but he has the people and righteousness in his heart.

Qu Zhuohua was wearing armor, holding a sword and ran up against the wind, Ji Muxian turned to look at him: "Aren't you leaving?"

"What are you going?" Qu Zhuohua glanced at him: "I only have you as the son of an enemy and a relative, and I can let you die here alone?"

Ji Muxian laughed: "None of us will die."

The majestic Khitan army came from a distance with a destructive momentum, and everyone in the city watched intently.

When the Khitan's hundreds of thousands of troops pressed into the city, some people were sweating coldly, and they dared not let out their breath.

The difference in numbers was so great that each Khitan army could drown the people in the city with just one mouthful of spit.

"People on the city tower, we know that your emperor has escaped. Our king said that as long as you open the city gate and surrender, we can save your life!"

The callers laughed loudly: "You Dasheng have a saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes, and your emperor doesn't want you anymore. Come and follow our king, eat and drink spicy food!"

Ji Muxian raised his voice: "You barbarians, don't you only know how to eat pancakes and wild game? How dare you come to me and other people who really like spicy food and want us to eat spicy food? Are you shameless?"

Loss is real loss, how can you eat other delicacies in a living environment like Khitan.

Those who called for the battle were not inferior: "Now, we are here, and we are the ones who eat hot food. If you don't open the city gate and surrender, you won't even be able to eat pancakes!"

"I advise you not to waste your energy in vain. It's too embarrassing for you to waste so much energy and finally not even know how to eat or dress."

"I kindly advise you to be aware of current affairs. When we call in, you still have a life to talk to me here?"

"If it's not what you want to say, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Surrender is impossible. If you have the ability, come in by yourself."

The visitor turned the horse's head away, and Ji Muxian said in a deep voice: "Get ready to roll the stone! Bow and arrow!"

The archers held arrows in their hands, unexpectedly, the Khitan did not attack directly, but brought nearly a hundred people to the front of the formation.

These people, dressed in Dasheng soldier armor, have missing arms and legs, some have no eyes, and all of them are injured.Obviously, he did not die on the battlefield, but was captured by the Khitan people from the battlefield.

"The national teacher of Dasheng upstairs! King Chong, you stayed here for the sake of your people in Dasheng. These people are all people who worked hard for the people on the battlefield. Now, you have to watch them die on the battlefield. Before?"

Ji Muxian's pupils shrank slightly, and the people downstairs shouted: "Put down your weapons and open the city gate, and they can still live. If you want to stop my Khitan army, you are like a mantis' arms, and you are beyond your capabilities!"

"They were wounded all over for your country, and we brought them back! They are almost home, won't you open the door to let them in?"

People who have escaped death, who doesn't want to go home, a healthy body goes out with the army, and when they come back, they are already disabled.

Now he is even threatening his compatriots before being suppressed, crying is not cowardice, but because he hates himself for letting Khitan have the opportunity to use them to threaten his compatriots.

The people holding bows and arrows on the tower were full of sorrow, and the general in the lead mourned, "King Chong...they..."

Ji Muxian's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly, "It's their honor to die for the country! Hold the bows in your hands!"

"But lord, they, let them die outside like this? They are only one step away from going home!"

"Look at these people in the city, which one is not ready to sacrifice? Which one is not buying time for the evacuated people! Open the city gate now, and we will stay for nothing!" Ji Muxian said sharply.

Qu Zhuohua pressed his shoulders, and reprimanded the general: "Nonsense, back down quickly, don't disturb the morale of the army!"

The general groaned and backed away.

Yan Yushu could clearly see the wounds on the people who were held in front of the formation by the Khitans. They went through life and death for Dasheng, but now they are in front of their house, but they can't get in.

"National Teacher, Your Highness, we are people who followed General Yan from birth to death, and have been favored by the National Teacher for many years. Now, I will definitely not embarrass me, Da Sheng Erlang!"

After the leader who spoke finished speaking, he bumped into the sword in front of his neck. The sword edge cut the skin of his neck, blood flowed out, and he fell to the ground with his eyes open.

"Your Highness, National Teacher, you must not open the city gate just because of your subordinates!"

Ji Muxian and Yan Yushu watched those soldiers who shed their blood for Dasheng fall down one by one, their eyes were red.

Ji Muxian's hand on the wall was so forceful that his veins bulged, and Yan Yushu grabbed his hand.

The Khitan people watched them all fall, and the leading general drew his sword and pointed at Chang'an: "Attack!"

The Khitan army set off at the sound, and the vanguard siege soldiers rushed forward in groups carrying the ladder, the Goose Falcon cart was pushed there afterward, and the flint in the rear was suppressed.

Ji Muxian stared at it, and when the army came within range, he waved and ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

The rain of arrows shot out in response, and the people who were shot fell to the ground one after another. They fell down several times in a row, and there were too many fallen people. The Khitan army immediately used shields as shields to block the arrows' attack.

The thrown flints exploded on the surrounding city walls, blowing up the soldiers who were hit beyond recognition.

Yan Yushu stood there watching, the Khitan ladder was on the wall, climbing up one by one, Ji Muxian shouted "Put the rolling stone!"

The stones fell one by one.For a while, the Khitan soldiers were unable to attack, and the Dasheng soldiers were wounded and killed countless times.

If it goes on like this, it will definitely not last for three days.

Seeing that he was unable to attack, Yeluyan pointed his bow at Yan Yushu and asked, "That person is Da Sheng's successor?"

"Yes?" The military adviser beside him replied: "He is Yan Yurong's third younger brother. He is the one who has raised Dasheng's army for so many years. It took so long for our Khitan to attack the Dasheng Bianhammer because of the military salary."

With a cold face, Yeluyan raised his bow, nocked an arrow, aimed at Yan Yushu's head, and shot the arrow.

"Yan Yushu!" Ji Muxian turned pale with shock, rushed up to put his arms around Yan Yushu's shoulders, and threw himself hard.

The arrow shot past Ji Muxian's ear with the sound of the wind, and pierced into the wooden post behind him, penetrating three points. This was to demand Yan Yushu's life, and it was Yeluyan's blow to Yan Yushu, the national teacher, as the Lord of Khitan.

Yan Yushu sneered, took the bow and arrow from the soldiers nearby, and aimed the arrow.

Qu Zhuohua asked: "Do you know how to shoot arrows?"

Yan Yushu didn't answer, he took aim and pulled the bow hard to shoot. The arrow brushed past the military division's head, and the flag with the word "Yelu" embedded in it fell down.

The morale of the generals soared and they shouted in unison.

Ji Muxian smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't you even know how to use a bow and arrow?"

"Didn't you teach? Of course I want to practice."

After practicing so much in private, this was the first arrow he shot, and it broke the Khitan flag.

"He's a good student." Ji Muxian grabbed his hand, raised his bow and set an arrow in his hand, pulled hard, and shot at Yeluyan's head.

"king!"

The general at the side moved quickly, raised his hand to block it with his sword, and the arrow tip passed through the sword and stopped in front of Yeluyan's eyes.

If you get closer...

One step away from the god of death, Yeluyan swallowed in fear, and after passing through the two arrows, Yeluyan said loudly: "Break through Chang'an with all your strength, and capture Dasheng Guoshi and King Chong alive!"

The Khitan siege continued for seven days. On the eighth day, Ji Muxian, Yan Yushu, Qu Zhuohua, and the leading general sat together back to back, looking around the city wall. All the dusty soldiers who could no longer see clearly, 5000 soldiers, had already died. Only 1000 people are left struggling.

At this moment, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, they are just comrades in arms who depend on each other for life and death.

"Your Highness." The general said: "There are not many arrows left. I don't know if they can last until tomorrow. Let me wait, maybe we won't see the sun tomorrow."

For seven days in a row, everyone was so tired that they were panting while talking. Ji Muxian patted him on the shoulder and asked, "How many people are there in the city?"

"Basically they have already evacuated, and there are still some who don't want to leave anyway."

Ji Muxian let out a long sigh: "We have tried our best, this is their own choice."

Qu Zhuohua looked aside and pondered, the walls of Chang'an City were bombarded by artillery fire, and they were already dilapidated, just as the general said, they could no longer withstand another Khitan attack.

Yan Yushu's white clothes could no longer be seen from his original appearance, and he was wearing gray clothes on his body.

He is a national teacher, when life and death, the military spirit is so important, he has never left the city tower for half a step, together with all the soldiers, they eat and live here, and rest on the spot at night.

He was originally supposed to be a clean, dust-free noble son, but Ji Muxian reached out and grabbed his hand, and whispered: "If the gate of the city is broken, you must follow me every step of the way."

Among the people here, only Yan Yushu knows how to fight, if the Khitan army enters the city and no one protects him, Yan Yushu will definitely not survive.

"it is good……"

As soon as Yan Yushu finished speaking, the horn sounded, and the Khitan attacked again. The four stood up, and the general shouted, "Prepare for battle and meet the enemy, archers prepare!"

"General, Your Highness, there are less than five thousand arrows."

Ji Muxian shouted: "Shoot, draw your sword and strike when you run out, if the city gate is broken, evacuate as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!"

Ji Muxian grabbed Yan Yushu's hand. It was the first time someone looked at him like this. Yan Yushu looked up at him and smiled suddenly: "Ji Muxian, don't worry, I will follow you."

"Um……"

"My lord." Lou Yan and Lou Chong came over from the side tower and reported, "The people under the city are here."

When the two went to the edge of the city, they saw the people who stayed behind carrying hoes and machetes crowded downstairs one after another.

Lou Chong explained: "They want to live and die with Chang'an."

A man should be like this, for the righteousness of the country, he should give up his life and forget his death.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Yan Yushu looked at Nan Zhi behind them, and said softly, "Nan Zhi is following me, remember, protect him."

"Yes……"

"My lord, I don't need it. I'm not afraid of death. Lou Chong and Lou Yan will protect you."

Yan Yushu rubbed his head and didn't speak any more.

At this time, he was very fortunate to let Yan Xu follow Cui Guanshi to Luoyang early to take care of Fushengji.Otherwise, I am afraid that unnecessary sacrifices will be required.

The Khitan siege army was approaching, Ji Muxian ordered: "Shoot the arrows!"

Khitan also knew that they were at the end of their strength at this time, and this attack was more ferocious than ever before, and the Flint suppressed from the rear was even more ferocious. Lou Chong and Lou Yan closely guarded Yan Yushu, and Lou Yan held on tight Nanzhi's hand avoided the flint blasted fragments.

There were less than [-] arrows, and they were used up soon. The Khitan soldiers climbed up the tower along the ladder, and everyone threw down their bows and arrows to fight with him.

Seeing Khitan soldiers climbing up all around, Qu Zhuohua drew his sword, chopped off one person with one sword, and beheaded another person with another swing of the sword.

The number of people was too surprising, and soon the tower was full of Khitan soldiers. Ji Muxian shouted loudly, "Retreat to the city! Withdraw to the city and run by yourself. If you can save your life and live to Luoyang, I will give him ten thousand taels of gold." !"

Traps have been set up in the city, retreating, although it won't help, but it can give Khitan the illusion that the city is full of traps, and it can give the remaining people a little chance of survival.

The gate of the city was smashed down, and the Khitan army rushed into Chang'an City, and the people rushed up against the hoes and machetes.

"Come on, I'm Dasheng, there are no cowards!"

"Master, run quickly."

"Run! When we get to Zhongzhou, we must beat these barbarians out of my Dasheng!"

"We believe in you!"

"You are a good guy!"

"You must return to Luoyang alive!"

Yan Yushu was caught by Ji Muxian and cut a bloody road all the way. Hearing the shouts of the people, he burst into tears.

There were too many Khitans, hundreds of them were quickly cut down to half, and suddenly one person shouted: "Brothers, blow them up!"

A group of people had just cut a bloody road down from the tower, heard this sound, looked back, and saw the corpses of the people blocking the Khitan army from the door, and the rest of the people rushed to hug a Khitan soldier each, with a bang, an explosion open.
