Eagle Byzantium

Yelu Dashi was furious. He immediately took a bow from the Lala guard, took out two arrow feathers from his own arrow basket, twisted them in his hand, and shot them like a shooting star at Medicine Master Guo.

With a scoff, an arrow hit Binglan beside Pharmacist Guo, knocking him over immediately. Arrows, swords and other weapons were scattered on the ground.

Pharmacist Guo retracted his hand, and another arrow flew towards him. It passed through his armpit and pierced into the screen behind him, almost pinning the pharmacist on the spot. The pharmacist was so frightened that he kept a weird posture and leaned against the screen. , looking at the cluster of arrows that had penetrated, he was speechless for a long time.

Wang Xianzong next to him was also stunned, and in front of the halberd in the meeting hall, a group of soldiers from the Ever Victorious Army who were just about to come up were also shocked by Dashi's superb archery skills and did not dare to move.

"Brother Yelu Xian, why are you like this..." After a long time, Wang Xianzong tried to smooth things over, "As long as the King of Justice is here, you will still be Yu Yue of the Great Khitan. You have the highest position here, and you can do whatever you want."

Dashi put down his bow angrily to show that he no longer wanted to shoot. "Although the Ever-Victorious Army is guarding Balihei and cannot be moved lightly, since King Gingping's camp needs Guo Du to control and participate in the war, then this order cannot be violated. This is good." Now, the Ever Victorious Army has moved to Malu City, and Balihei will be entrusted to me to guard it."

"In that case, thank you for bothering Dashi!" The two of them changed their expressions and thanked Dashi with their hands in hand.

A few days later at night, Yelu Dashi sat in his tent in the black city of Bali. Orders came one after another to report to him the movements of Gawain's army: Just the day before yesterday, Gawain had accepted the surrender of Fanjiyan Fortress. It’s not worth a trip of three to five days.

And Yelv Dashi was also intensifying his troops. He gathered about ten thousand subordinates who had fled from the defeat of Ghaznavids, recruited a group of Ghaznavids who were determined to take revenge, and also recruited 5,000 militiamen from the vicinity of Balakot City. , each gave them a defensive area, and also taught them the method of battle formation, and took out all the light and heavy artillery stored in the store and set them up on the city wall to prepare for the battle. Yelu Dashi's plan was to contain and block two or three Gawain here. moon.

At this time, Dashi personally wrote a letter to King Ping Ping, in which he strongly advised his camp not to waste time and military power by confronting the Nishapur side, but to invest the most elite forces and give priority to eliminating Gawain's wing—— A few troops were left to stick to the main camp, while the main force moved to Tusi City in the north. Annihilate or defeat the enemies there, that is, Diogenes, the commander of Joseran, Deim and Bellerophon's brigade in Jerusalem, and then strive to surrender Khwarazm and Karakhan and allow them to exit with dignity War is our vassal, and then we can concentrate on dealing with Gawain's main force.

"Be neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither quick nor slow, and have a clear mind" was the specific battle plan proposed by Dashi, but he didn't know whether his advice could be submitted to King Ping Ping, or whether he could eliminate the group of people like Pharmacist Guo. Interference and obstruction by characters. Thinking of this, Yelv Dashi couldn't help but sigh. The current strength of the expeditionary legion is not optimistic. There are only about 30,000 barbarian cavalry left who are willing to serve as servants. Then there are still 8,000 victorious troops and 10,000 of his Khitan armies. Including the final 15,000 main armed forces of the mysterious direct lineage of the Emperor Song Dynasty, the total military strength is about 60,000. However, among these 60,000 troops, only one third is truly reliable.

On the other hand, the main force of Gawain who followed Fanji Yan to kill, and the vassal and servant army of Gul and Rajput, numbered 40,000 to 50,000. They had a complete range of infantry, cavalry and artillery, and most of them were capable of recruiting and fighting. Elite on the battlefield.

While the Yelv Stone was being exhausted, about one hundred and twenty miles west of Balakot City, on the embankment across both banks of the Oxus River, a group of torch-bearing soldiers from the Victory Army carried a lot of gunpowder, and then Several chambers for detonation were dug out on the high embankment.

On the high ground on the bank below, Pharmacist Guo looked at the vast lowland pastures and farmland beside the river to the east of the embankment, and kept urging, "Quick, quick! Blow up this section of the river embankment before dawn. , and then keep it secret from the outside world, just say that it was done by Gao Wen, the slave of Fulin."

Soon, thunder light flashed on the river embankment, and the long embankment seemed to suddenly come to life, twisting a few times like a giant python, and then a white light suddenly rose. It was Oksu who lost control after the embankment was blown up. The rolling current of the Si River rushed out with unstoppable force, wiping the path of the doctor Guo. The erected high tower passed by, and the fierce river cut away several large pieces of earth. The soldiers who were standing on it did not even scream. Even the collapsed earth blocks were involved in the battle. In the torrent of the embankment, the body was swirling like a rustling dead leaf, rushing downwards.

Pharmacist Guo was so frightened that he pulled his screaming horse back. Then real lightning exploded in the sky and a strong wind blew up. This frightened Pharmacist Guo and the Changsheng Army's other battalions to dismount their horses and kneel down, saying, "This breach of the embankment is for the sake of the country and the country." , we can learn from the sun and the moon!”

The gray-white torrent that broke the embankment quickly spread across the plains of the river like a ray of death. When Guo Yaoshi saw the villages, towns, cottages, orchards, workshops, and empty fortresses dotted with flowers, they were all swallowed up in an instant. Lost it, people. He lost his life while sleeping and disappeared without a trace. The entire Oxus River surged, almost as high as the sky and clouds. Only the high ground where his army was located, the distant peaks, and the huge Barak The special (Bali Black) city still exists!

Yelu Dashi heard the roar of the collapse of mountains and the cracking of seas outside, and hurriedly climbed up the tower of the city wall to watch. He saw the torrent overflowing like a galloping horse. The entire river had long lost its original appearance. It was vast and boundless, as if it had become the moat of the city. On the next morning, countless dead animals and human bodies were floating palely under the city wall in the rapids. Dashi also saw a terrified and crying child lying on a door panel, and in an instant it tilted and buried in the waves. The people and soldiers on the city wall who saw such a tragedy cried loudly.

"Pharmacist Guo!" Dashi understood something in an instant, his eyes were about to burst, and his hair was on his head.

Wang Xianzong, the Tongpan in the meeting hall in the city, quickly drafted a notice, saying that the culprit who dug the river bank was Gao Wen, the bandit chief of Fulin, who wanted to "destroy my city, destroy my town, and harm my people." Then Wang Tongpan, wearing mourning clothes, cried loudly and mourned for the people of Barihei.

The Gaowen cavalrymen who had just arrived at the mountain pass on the south side of Balakt were also stunned. They looked at the surging water and the dead bodies floating everywhere under the high ground, and hurriedly turned back to tell the emperor's camp, "Balakt City has dug the river bank, and now it is surrounded by nearly a hundred miles of ocean."

Gao Wen, Shengmei and others also rushed to the camp of the advance army. Seeing this scene, some soldiers also took boats to rescue some nearby people.

Under the double-headed eagle flag, Gawain was silent for a while, and then said to the Saint Sister, "You actually dug up the river bank and drowned tens of millions of people to stop me. I'm afraid the fate of the Great Fair King is about to end. He will receive the punishment he deserves."
