Chapter four hundred and eighty encounter between Taoism
The Liao people had already retreated in panic, leaving behind a mess on the ground and a camp that was still emitting thick smoke. Yan Shoujing was extremely proud of this situation. He rushed forward by himself by wielding a long sword in his hand and shouted,
"Everyone follows me to pursue the Liao army! If you can capture Yelu alive, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold!"
There was a very energetic attitude in his words. The soldiers behind him immediately shouted loudly and rushed down. Situ Nan smiled bitterly and looked at Yan Qisheng beside him.
"Changqing, I have been practicing literature and martial arts since I was a child. I have never been afraid of anyone when I went to the battlefield. This time I am really afraid that I will not be able to save his life!"
Yan Qisheng sat upright on the back of the flower spotted with a firm look.
"This battle is only allowed to win but not lose, so he must save his life. If he dies, the morale of the army will be dispersed and Datong will be lost, and the Liao people will march straight into the Central Plains, and Daning will be in danger!"
After speaking, he also smiled bitterly. When he went to war, his father asked him to take the opportunity to kill Yan Shoujing, but he didn't expect that at this point, he would have to fight to save his life!
Things are really unpredictable!
The two of them whispered a few times and immediately slapped their horses and followed them up.
The Daning army chased out of the city, but said that the Liao army retreated for more than ten miles. After Yelu also caught up with the brigade, he immediately scolded his generals.
"Restrain soldiers and gather people!"
The generals immediately ran around to find their subordinates, shouting loudly at the soldiers who were still running around. Some of them were still running wildly and were caught up by a fast horse, and whipped them on their heads.
"ah!"
The running soldier screamed and hugged his head and rolled down. The leader of the house ran wildly and met his running subordinates and used a whip and whipped it with a knife back. After staying until dawn, he finally slowed down the Liao soldiers running around and gradually calmed down.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Yelu ordered the generals and generals to gather together. After counting the number of people, he cursed.
"What a bunch of useless waste!"
It turned out that after these hundreds of thousands of troops ran around the east, south, west and north, there were only 400,000 people left. You should know that after a continuous bloody battle, the losses of the battle were no more than 150,000. This escape was even greater than the siege!
Someone came up to ask,
"Your Majesty, there are only nearly 400,000 people left now. How should we deal with it?"
Yelu also sat upright on the horse, but he kept his eyebrows and thought, and suddenly he smiled at the sky.
"Hahaha! The people of Daning really have some real skills. I have been fighting for decades, but I have never been so embarrassed by others, but..."
He lowered his head and slowly drew his knife, looking around everyone around him,
"But I, the man in the Great Liao Dynasty, was scared by others. I still have 400,000 soldiers and 400,000 strong men, with swords in my hands and passionate chests. How can I retreat in a hurry!"
As he said that, he waved the knife in his hand,
"Someone is here!"
Someone immediately left the list.
"His Majesty!"
"Calculate the food and grass and they all accumulate!"
At that moment, someone immediately collected all the rescued food and grass on a huge open space. Yelu was also holding a torch in one hand, clamping his horse's belly with both legs, and slowly walked towards the middle.
Yelu also raised his torch, rode his horse around the crowd of food and grass, and shouted loudly at everyone.
"I and the leaders of the tribes gathered 700,000 troops to march south to Ning. Now, if there is a slight obstacle, I feel like retreating. This is a coward..."
While speaking, one man and one horse had already arrived before the pile of food and grass, and sent the torches in his hand forward.
"call!"
The dry food and grass immediately ignite when it encounters fire. The flames are under the gaze of everyone, but in the blink of an eye, it jumps high into the air. Yelu laughs,
"Today I will learn from the ancient Han people. One of them will fight against the water and burn all the food and grass. If you can still hold up your sword, you will follow me to kill you back to Datong. If you don't break Datong, you will not turn around!"
The Liao soldiers immediately raised their swords in their hands and started to scream loudly.
"If you don't break the great harmony, you won't turn around!"
"If you don't break the great harmony, you won't turn around!"
Yelu Ye's move is really powerful. He knew that after this defeat, all the troops in the Liao army must have secretly wanted to retreat. More than 100,000 people had escaped. If there were any more escapes, only his loyal and loyal subordinates would be left to attack Datong.
Yelu was not a fool. He used his elite troops to attack Datong City, which was in the height of the city, and the attack was severely damaged and he could not capture it... Then when he returned to Shangjing, the throne of the Liao Emperor could not sit steadily.
He was unwilling to accept that he had 700,000 troops and came with a fierce force. After a series of bloody battles, he was either my son or my son was not free from his life or I, Yelu, and he was not military. However, he was careless and returned in vain. If he went back here, he was afraid that he would not have thought of going south to attack Ning again in ten or eight years!
He was also a decisive person, so he simply burned the food and grass brought by fire. This was a destruction and bound the tribes to himself in one place.
You should know that the journey back to the tribe from here is long. If there is no food and grass, there is no need for Daning to send troops to pursue them, they themselves will die of starvation halfway.
Seeing that Yelu had done this, the tribes were helpless even though they were gritting their teeth in secret, so they had to raise their swords and shout loudly.
"If you don't break the great harmony, you won't turn around!"
Yelu was also overjoyed when he saw this situation and slapped his horse towards Datong.
"The whole army obeyed my orders and immediately responded to Datong!"
Yelu Ye brought 400,000 Liao soldiers to four groups of troops and pounced back to Datong. Not only did the rest of the troops, Yelu Ye rushed back to Datong, but by noon, he met the 50,000 people led by Yan Shoujing.
Yan Qisheng and Situ Nanhu were on the side of Yan Shoujing, but they saw the flags waving and smoke rolling in front of them. When they looked at each other, they knew that they were catching up with the Liao people.
Seeing this, Yan Qisheng shouted loudly.
"Send the order! The whole army stops and form a formation!"
The general order was passed down, but the entire army stopped suddenly, but the horses were neither neighing nor chaotic. Some infantry came forward and formed a horse-resisting formation with long spears in their hands. They held their breath and watched the Liao army rushing towards them. Judging from the momentum, the number of people was far better than that of them.
The Liao people are known for their bravery in fighting. Now they have the advantage of the number of people and encounter it on the way. This battle is really hard to fight!
But they were already prepared to follow Yan Shoujing out. Situ Nan and Yan Qisheng looked at each other but laughed loudly.
"Changqing, how did this battle give me my brother?"
Yan Qisheng glanced at Yan Shoujing, who looked surprised and suspicious. He couldn't stop his disgust and hatred. He was not the time to care about him now, so he smiled and bowed,
"Brothers dare not compete with brother for me!"
Situ Nan laughed, and took a spear in his hand in the air, but led his men to meet the Liao people.
Yelu had already seen the Daning flag fluttering from afar. He guessed that it was the people chasing Datong. After a closer look, he saw that the leading flag was actually the Daning Dragon Flag. Could it be that Yan Shoujing was here to pursue it personally!
Yelu was also overjoyed when he saw this. At this time, he was full of aggrieved and wanted to vent. It was just that he was sleepy and encountered a pillow. If Yan Shoujing was killed in this battle, wouldn’t Datong City be destroyed without attacking it!
Going south to the Central Plains is just around the corner!
Seeing this, Yelu ran ahead first, and ran to a distance of two feet away, but Jin Ma shouted loudly.
"Who is coming?"
Situ Nan recognized Yelu, and his eyes lit up when he saw it, and he knew that he had met his master!
He laughed loudly, and the spear in his hand lies across the horse's back, but he held his fists with both hands.
"It turned out to be the Emperor of Liao in front of you. You are running away in front of you. Why are you back now?"
Yelu also said coldly as water,
"Stop talking nonsense. When I come back, I will naturally take the heads of you and others. After breaking through Datong City, I will hang it on the top of the city, so that the people of Liao will be able to see you when they move into the pass!"
Situ Nan laughed loudly when he heard this.
"The old man is a little arrogant. It only depends on whether your subordinates have this skill!"
As he spoke, he got into the hand with a spear, but Yelu waved his hand,
"Come on, take a moment! Ask you Emperor Daning to come forward and talk to me, you yellow-haired boy, get out of here!"
As soon as this said, Yan Qisheng from behind turned to look at Yan Shoujing. Yan Shoujing's face turned from excited flush to fearful paleness. Yan Qisheng said to him,
"Your Majesty, even the Emperor of Liao made a statement, please ask Your Majesty to come forward and talk!"
Yan Shoujing looked into the distance and saw the figures in front of him, crowded with people and horses, and flags were waving. I don’t know how many people followed him. The pride in his heart immediately disappeared, and he felt a sense of silence.
He heard that the Liao people were defeated, so he thought that they could take advantage of the victory to pursue them. He plucked the Liao people's butts and slapped them. When he returned to the court, he could also get the title of emperor.
He never expected that Yelu would dare to turn around again, but he was met by himself. Seeing the other party's smoke and dust rolling, the man shouted and the horse neighed, and his own horse immediately showed a disadvantage. He couldn't help but complain in his heart. Now, he heard Yan Qisheng's words and said in a low voice, and shouted in a low voice.
"Yan Changqing, do you want me to die?"
Yan Qisheng curled a sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth, pulled the reins and leaned over, and said in a voice that only two people could hear.
"Your Majesty, you are going to go out of the city to pursue you, but you have given the order you have given yourself. Now you have left these 50,000 people, including the lives of the minister! If you still care about the face of our Yan family, you will die like a man, so don't let me look down on you anymore!"
As soon as this statement was said, it had some effect. Yan Shoujing was furious and his fear in his heart subsided a lot.
"Yan Changqing, you dare to be disrespectful to me. If I can escape and die today, I will have to cut off your head!"
Yan Qisheng replied sneered,
"Your Majesty, you'd better save your life first!"
After saying that, he didn't allow Yan Shoujing to speak again, but the long knife in his hand slapped the horse under Yan Shoujing's crotch. The horse neighed and rushed out.
Yan Shoujing was like this. As everyone was watching, he rode with Yan Qisheng and rode in front of the formation. He met Yelu Ye, so he had to calm down and bow down.
"Brother Yelu, we're meeting again!"
Yelu also saw that it was Yan Shoujing himself, so he couldn't help but bow his face and look back and say goodbye.
"Brother Yan, I didn't expect that Brother Yan would pursue him personally. It was just my wish. Taking Brother Yan would be like taking Datong City. If I can conquer the Central Plains in the future, I will definitely go to the Taimiao to worship Brother Yan, and thank Brother Yan for helping me!"
