Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1338

"Husband." Looking at A Baoji in neat clothes, Yue Liduo was terrified.

A Baoji was silent for a while, and said: "You take the Shan army and escort the people of all ministries to the North Tower, and act according to the camera. If you encounter enemies, don't hesitate."

Yue Liduo is not the character of a mother-in-law, she knew that this meeting was really critical, suppressed all the emotions in her heart, and said: "Okay!"

A Baoji got on his horse, and before he left, he turned his head and said in a low voice, "Although Porun is your younger brother, she is not strong enough and tends to panic at critical moments. If not, you can seize his military power and command the battle."

Yue Liduo sighed and said, "I know."

The Shan army was formed by her selection, and it was also her army.The reason why I handed it over to my mother-in-law is because there is really no one else.This meeting will have to cover the people, and the cattle and sheep will retreat, so she will no longer be indecisive.

"Yuwen, Xiali, Haili, let's go!" A Baoji clamped his horse's belly and rushed out lightly.

Dozens of chieftains followed closely behind, and more than ten thousand cavalry from the two armies of the big falcon and the small falcon followed closely behind, roaring away.

"Sister, everyone said that the Xia Kingdom's million-strong army went to the north. It's fine for ordinary people. In the Battle of Ruyuan, the Silver Spear Army only rushed three or four times, and dispersed our people. This time it's not the same. I know if the Silver Spear Army is here, if it is..." Shulu Po ran over, her face was not very good, and she said in a low voice.

"Slap!" Yue Liduo slapped her face directly, and cursed, "Are you still a man? Is it useful to be afraid of death? Will Xia thief let you go?"

A slap in the face and three questions made the mother-in-law dizzy directly.

"This..." he muttered.

"Take your people to Zimeng City immediately, and don't run away until the last moment." Yue Liduo looked at her younger brother with dangerous eyes, and said, "If you don't act like a man again, I will kill you!" about you."

"Okay." Mrs. Shulu covered her face and left in despair.

Zimeng City is Yue Liduo's head-down military prefecture, with tens of thousands of people, located in the northwest of Muye Mountain—near Haratuda City in the Horqin Left Middle Banner of later generations, in the area of ​​Changning County, Yongzhou, Liao Kingdom.

A Baoji planned to evacuate all the people, but Yue Liduo refused.She thinks that the Khitan Eight Clans are not rich in food and grass, and the cultivation has been delayed this year, and the tens of thousands of people can't support them at all, so it's better to keep them here, so as to block Xia's army.

The meaning is obvious, my head is in the military state, even if all my slaves die, I don't feel bad.At the critical moment, you must not be a mother-in-law, and lose the big because of the small.What should be discarded must be discarded, and always choose the most rational way.

A Baoji thought of how other nobles were reluctant to part with those pots and pots, and immediately felt a lot of emotion, not as decisive as a woman!
After Porun left, Yue Liduo got on a horse, unhurriedly tied the bowstring, then put the ring on her finger, tried it out, and put it on her waist.

The knights belonging to the Shan army were scattered around, and their morale was a little low.

The old and the weak of the tribe who retreated northward together were even more dejected.With that impulsive and passionate young man, he wished he could go to Xia Ren with his Gu Duo in hand, but he finally stopped under the scolding of his elders.

Everyone will take shelter in the North Building.

It is a newly built place, hundreds of miles north of Xilou, on the north bank of the Hun River (not the Hun River in Shenyang). Hearing that the water and grass are lush, he can take a short breath and wait for the news from the south.

"Ma'am, will you come back after going to the North Tower?" asked the nine-year-old son Yelutu, who was about to sit in the carriage and raised his face.

Six-year-old Yelu Yaogu sat behind him, looking curiously at the surrounding sand, and tried to get out of the car several times to play, but was always held back by his sister Yelu Zhigu.

Yue Liduo glanced at the second son with stern eyes, and said to the eldest son suddenly: "My mother doesn't like to lie, and I don't like to comfort people with lies, and my child can't live in lies all day long. "

Yelutu seemed to understand, but nodded ignorantly.

"To be honest, it's unlikely to go back." Yue Liduo said: "Xia Guoxing has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all of whom are veterans of hundreds of battles. Your grandfather is not sure of winning, and Khitan is not sure of winning. If you lose, you will probably lose." There is only one way of exile. In the process of exile, there are many crises, and many people may die. They are either killed by the enemy or starved to death."

Yelvzhigu bit his lip tightly, and subconsciously tightened his hand holding Yaogu.

Su Yu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a moment.

"So——" Yue Liduo looked at the children and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you must learn to fight, learn to milk, and learn to deal with people. The empress cannot protect you forever, there will always be danger Time. People have to rely on themselves, not only the empress, but you too, understand?"

"Understood." Yelutu wanted to close his mouth, sullen.

Yue Liduo sighed softly, and then looked at the north firmly.One cannot lose hope, as long as one is alive, one has a chance.

The strong wind blows, raising dust and sand all over the sky.The huge convoy walked on the lonely grassland, hesitating to the north.

The horse snorted irritably and hurried on in silence.

The naughty sheep slipped out of the team, ran away to eat a few green grasses, and then returned to the flock driven by the shepherd.

The knight galloped back and forth, passing one message after another.

Yue Liduo touched the dagger at her waist, she would not give up before the worst happened.

******
"Dong dong dong..." Countless footsteps stepped on the sand and grass, forming an array in the wilderness.

Li Congke, deputy envoy of the Wansheng Yellow-headed Army, strode forward, and the leaves of his armor clattered.

The thunderous sound of horseshoes kept ringing, and groups of knights slowly approached in the distance, and their horse speed seemed to be gradually increasing.

"Crack!" Li Congke drank the last sip of rice wine, threw off the cowhide water bag, and then held a rifle, turned around and scanned the pawns lined up.

very good!The enemy's cavalry were slowly approaching, and the smoke and dust filled the sky and the earth. The warriors of the Wansheng Yellow-headed Army did not have any feeling of fear and cowardice.

They spared no effort to draw their knives out of their sheaths, checking whether the weapons could be used normally.

Five hundred soldiers armed with crossbows lined up on both sides.

The famous utensils made in Bianzhou, "the crossbow is one big machine, and the twelve small machines are all fired. With the big arrows, it is not far behind."

The standard equipment that used to be Tingzi has repeatedly shined in the war with Hedong. "The people of Jin are extremely afraid of this."

Now the production has increased greatly, and it has been distributed to the Wansheng Yellow-headed Army who acted as the vanguard.

Of course, this sharp weapon can be launched in a car formation, which is safe and convenient.But why bother?Doesn't that make us seem timid and dare not step out of the shelter of the vehicle?What kind of words!

"Boom..." The sound of the drum changed.

More than a hundred stragglers came out, armed with various weapons, laughing loudly at the enemy cavalry whose horses were getting faster and faster.

Li Congke was leaning on a spear, with a ruthless expression on his face.

"Who can open first today?" He looked at the approaching Khitan cavalry without fear, and asked loudly.

"I guess it's Camp A and Camp B."

"They use crossbows, we use knives, I'm afraid they are not as fast as their hands and feet."

"Why do you have to compare with them? Zheng San, let's compare, who will kill the Khitan bandits first?"

"Comparison. I've been displeased with you for a long time. It's like something!"

"Haha! I'm not as good as you when it comes to women, but when it comes to killing people, you're not as good as me."

The desperadoes in the group were joking with each other, but they kept holding their hands. After a short while, the bows were already wound.

"Here we come!" Suddenly someone called out, and Li Congke's spirit was shaken, and the long spear in his hand was already moving forward steadily.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Khitan cavalry had rushed more than a hundred paces away.

"Woo—" the horn sounded.

The sound of "huhu" was repeated, and the twelve consecutive crossbows deployed on the left and right wings were fired one after another.

Borrowing the wind, the heavy arrow shaft flew straight into the Khitan cavalry formation.

"Xi Lulu!" The horse hit by the arrow fell to the ground in pain.

"Ah!" The knight screamed and fell off his horse.

The Khitan cavalry behind were still rushing forward bravely.

The "whoosh" sound became more intensive, and the screams followed one after another.

"Whoosh!" A soldier from a scattered team drew up a strong bow and shot one after another.

The Khitan man crouched low on the horse's back, and rushed over screaming.

"Boom!" "Puff!"

The Khitan cavalry rushed obliquely into the stragglers, entering the stage of mixed troops and horses.

Li Congke groaned one after another.He knew that someone had been injured or even died, but this kind of cruel fighting did not scare him, instead, he felt a violent bloodthirsty pleasure from the bottom of his heart. Stabbed the thief's chest from the side.

The thief couldn't dodge in time, and the iron bone in his hand fell weakly. Li Congke picked him up high and threw him to the ground.

Standard refusal to ride with a step!
Does infantry have to form a dense formation against cavalry?Not necessarily.

When the thief rides, his target is much bigger than yours. His weapons may not be as long as yours, and his armor may not be as good as yours.As long as you are not afraid of death and have the mentality of trading your life for your life, if he stabs you, you can stab him. Even if you can't stab anyone, you can stab his horse. As long as he hits the ground, he will surely die.

This is a life-gambling game, the comparison is who is not afraid of death, whoever blinks first will die!
Relying on this trick, the Xue Yantuo people used their infantry to overcome the cavalry, and hammered all over the place, creating a legend of dominating the entire grassland with infantry and becoming the overlord beyond the Great Wall.

The infantry who are afraid of death will only hide behind the formation!
"Hoo hoo!" The sound of the ballista firing seemed to never stop.More and more Khitan cavalry fell from horses, almost blocking the frontal battlefield.

"Woo!" The horn sounded for the second time.

Suddenly, wind and sand floated from behind, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust for a while.

The horse is sensitive, and immediately becomes restless, no matter how comforting it is, it cannot be appeased.

"Haha!" Li Congke laughed loudly, raised the spear, and said, "Follow me!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Followed by more than a thousand armored soldiers, they stepped out and charged the Khitan cavalry.

Li Congke rushed the fastest.

At this moment, he miraculously thought of Li Luoluo and Ge Congzhou.

In the battle on the river back then, Ge Congzhou was still a low-ranking general, and he led two thousand infantry against the three thousand heavy cavalry of the Tielin Army, killing them all on their backs, and Li Luoluo was almost captured, which was a great shame and humiliation.

How the hell do you dare? !Two thousand infantry dare to attack three thousand heavy cavalry?Are you a dummy?Don't you know that if I rush over, I can knock you into the air?Do you want to die?
But—at the critical moment of betting their lives, they gave up.

Ge Congzhou is not afraid of being knocked into the air, not afraid of death, and doesn't care about death.

You are afraid, and you care about what to do after you fall, so you lose.

Li Congke at this moment has transformed into Ge Congzhou, taking the lead, brave and invincible.

The horses of the Khitan people in front were completely out of control, and the cavalry behind were still charging forward, causing a moment of chaos.

"Pfft!" The long lance pierced the fur easily, but Li Congke didn't even look at it, and chose the next target, stabbing and pumping, blood spattered.

"Kill the thief! A head is worth a piece of silk!"

"Poke him!"

"Hook him off the horse!"

"Poke his horse!"

The soldiers quickened their pace and rushed forward, and the one-sided massacre began.

The Khitan people were almost huddled together, unable to move their hands.Riding on a horse was an excellent target, but was stabbed back and forth by the long spears of the Wansheng Yellow-headed Army. In a short while, countless people screamed and fell off the horse.

After a while, there was a crisp sound of horseshoes.

The Fan soldiers recruited from Yingzhou were divided into two groups, outflanking the left and right sides, and went straight to the Khitan rear formation.

They are very chicken thieves, and they have to wait for the Khitan people to be beaten into disgrace by the Wansheng Yellow-headed Army, and their morale is greatly weakened before going into battle.

The Khitans completely collapsed.

The people behind stopped rushing forward, turned their horses' heads one after another, and fled to the north in a hurry.

The Fan soldiers accelerated their horses, rode bows and fired continuously, chasing and killing them endlessly.

"Good thief, still want to escape!" Li Congke abandoned the horse, pulled out the iron rod, and caught up with a Khitan thief who had fallen from the horse and was still alive. With one swing, he hit the neck, and with another stroke, blood spilled on the ground like a fountain. ——You can't even imagine that there is so much blood on a person's body.

Li Congke passed through the rain of blood and caught up with a Khitan soldier who had just turned his horse's head and was about to flee. Tie Lao hit him and knocked him off the horse, then got on the horse and rushed out laughing.

Thousands of soldiers are still slaughtering the Khitan cavalry without any haste.

There are not many left for them.The Khitan people had recovered from the chaos, the people behind were routing one after another, and the people in front were also killed and injured in large numbers, the formation was no longer crowded.

More and more people fled for their lives, not even daring to turn their heads.

The soldiers chased after dozens of paces, killing the last Khitan cavalry before they could escape.Then he collected the horses and cut off their heads in a leisurely manner.

After a rough calculation, hundreds of people were actually killed just once.

happy!

Shi Junli, the vanguard and the envoy of the Yellow-headed Army, stepped down from the temporary high platform.

Li Congzhang also came over with a prisoner in hand, and reported: "Military envoy, you just tortured them. They are soldiers brought by Aru Dun Yuyue. They said they came to try our strength."

"Haha!" The surrounding sergeants burst out laughing upon hearing this.

Shi Junli also laughed, but he knew the business, and after careful questioning, he realized that Aru Dun Yuyue was Yelu Shilu.

Before the death of Khan Shen Dejin, Shilu was already a member of Yuyue.After Abaoji was elected Khan, Shilu's position became more embarrassing.He is A Baoji's uncle and the benefactor who cultivated him, so don't be rude.So Abaoji asked Shilu to give him the honorary title "Arudun Yuyue"-Arudun's person, which means "famous" in Khitan.

"Ask him what else he knows, especially where Abaoji is." Shi Junli said.

He could see that Yelu Shilu should have come to delay them.So the question is, where is Abaoji?What is he doing?What does he want to do?
