Chapter 784 The chief coach is really a god!

"Boom! Boom! Boom—"

With the sound of war drums, two figures were fighting in front of the formation.

Riding on the silver-maned horse was Xiao Yongtai, the Khitan general of the Liao Kingdom, wielding a steel spear.

Riding on the jade suanni is Zhengsun Li of the Xiangyong Army, who wields a nine-edged spear.

The two fought for more than [-] bouts, Sun Li's elusive spear technique made Xiao Yongtai more and more terrified, finally after [-] bouts, he really lost the will to fight, so he reined in his horse and left.

But when he ran towards the formation of the Liao army, he saw a deadly depression.

The two sides faced each other in Baigou, and the general was proposed by the Southern Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom, which has always been proud of its bravery, naturally would not hide in the army.

However, the opponent did not send Lu Junyi, Hua Rong, and Suo Chao who had already made their mark and had a certain reputation in the Liao Dynasty. They only sent a group of little-known team leaders.

But just now, two Orion-like young generals, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, defeated the generals of the Liao army and killed a Khitan general, while another Han general fled back into the formation in embarrassment. Out of rage, he asked for his order to fight, but he didn't expect that the Sun Li who replaced him would be even more difficult!

What is going on in the Southern Dynasty? Why did the regular army collapse in one battle, but the fierce men in the village soldiers and village warriors emerged in endlessly?

"Damn it! We must not be looked down upon by the people of the Southern Dynasties, let alone Yan Yun's Han generals belittle us Khitan warriors!"

Xiao Yongtai knew that he could return to the formation if he pulled away at this time, but his morale would drop to the bottom, so he immediately chose to walk around the formation.

"Where to run?"

It was only a few days since Sun Li had joined the Township Bravery Corps, and the Liao army had already defeated Shandong in Zengtou City and was completely wiped out.

"Good come!"

Xiao Yongtai had a secret plan in his mind, he took the gun on the horse, held the bow with his left hand, took the arrow with his right hand, put on the arrow, pulled the bow full, turned his head and looked at Sun Li, and the arrow was coming.

Sun Li had been prepared for a long time, but he took a slow shot deliberately. When the arrow reached his chest, he fell back and the arrow flew past him dangerously.

From Xiao Yongtai's point of view, he couldn't see the truth. Seeing Sun Li lying on the horse, he was overjoyed, and turned his horse's head: "General Song will be captured before his hands are tied!"

He patted his horse forward, just as he was about to capture him alive and boost his prestige, when he saw Sun Li's legs suddenly exerted force, and he stood upside down from the horse, shouted loudly, and stabbed him with a spear. : "Liao dog suffers!"

Xiao Yongtai was taken aback, knowing that he couldn't dodge it, he simply used all his strength, and pointed his steel gun towards Sun Li's chest as hard as he could.

Sun Li did not rush, straightened his chest, the point of the spear reached the armor, slightly to one side, the point of the spear poked through the rib socket, Xiao Yongtai screamed, the armor was pierced by the nine-edged spear, Chest and belly.

Sun Li reached his waist with his left hand, pulled out a tiger-eye steel whip, and hit Xiao Yongtai on the head.

Snapped! !

The helmet was dented in one piece, red and white were glued together immediately, the body of the Khitan general swayed, and his body fell under the horse.

Sun Li laughed loudly, and went back applauding.

When he came, the head coach told him that Xiao Yongtai's martial arts were much weaker than his own, and he was a Khitan, so he could be killed on the spot, if he was replaced by a Han general, he would try to save his life as much as possible.

The same is true for the previous fighting generals. Under the premise that there was a certain gap in martial arts between the two sides, the Khitans were all killed, and the Han generals stayed.

Seeing that the battle between a fierce general and a team was settled, and the winner was decided, the battle drums in the Liao army were silent, and the sparrows were silent. It was obviously difficult to accept the thunderous cheers in the Song army.

Except for Lion Cong, who ran back to the formation smelling the smell of the silver-maned horse, and felt a little pity, Li Yan expressed his appreciation for Sun Li's strength: "Excellent!"

Sun Li's ranking is also quite controversial in the original book. Sun Li's martial arts skills are the strongest in the Dengzhou Group of Eight, and he has made the most contributions. As a result, he ranked in Disha, while Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, who have no sense of presence, are ranked highest in Tiangang. In the end, it is really a bit inexplicable.

Seeing that Sun Li showed his strength and came back victorious, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao had already shown their prestige before. Normally, it should be Sun Xin's turn, but Aunt Gu couldn't bear it, so she came to Li Yan and asked for a fight: "Chief coach, my family is willing to go!" , and also cut off the head of a Khitan dog to show off for the three armies!"

Not to mention that Hu Sanniang, who came to the front of the battle with Mrs. Gu, jumped up and down with excitement, and the generals also looked sideways at her, showing great interest at the same time.

Don't look at Mrs. Gu's self-proclaimed young woman. This sturdy woman has also shown a lot of prestige recently. Everyone will never think that she is not capable of such a challenge. It's just that if the Liao generals really can't beat a woman, Then there is a good show to watch.

Li Yan also smiled and said: "Captain Gu is just brave, but if you go to ask for a fight, then the Liao army may have to call for gold to withdraw... You might as well give it a try!"

Mrs. Gu was half-believing, she held the male and female tiger-headed knives, slapped her horse in front of the battle, and shouted: "Gu is here, he has no guts to fight against Khitan, how dare he fight?"

The Liao army was in a commotion and couldn't take it anymore.

"Too much deceit! Women and children dare to come and fight?"

"The last general is willing to go. If you can't kill this lowly servant girl, come and see me!"

"It's nothing to kill this woman and child, we'd better not stand out..."

Yelude looked at the Khitan generals, everyone was indignant and participated enthusiastically, and then looked at the Han generals, their eyes met, and their faces darkened.

After all, the Khitan people were not as exquisite as the Han people. After being provoked like this, the attitude of killing them first regardless of men and women was understandable. It was not bullying the weak and fearing the hard, but the attitude of the Han generals shrinking made him quite displeased.

Then think of spreading the news that the Liao army was defeated on the front line after the fall of Yingzhou, Pingzhou, and Luanzhou, and then driving the Han people to Jizhou.

If it was just to spread the news of the defeat, that would be fine. The South Court also reacted quickly and immediately sent people to spread the news that the Song Emperor was incompetent and the front line was disadvantaged. The spies of the Imperial City Division could only spread rumors and make trouble in the rear.

People always believe what they want to believe. The Han people in the land of Yanyun will prefer the latter, but there is a prerequisite, that is, to drive out the Liangshan Bo army who is close at hand.

After all, no matter how well you brag, the enemy is arrogant and domineering right under your nose. That idiot knows something is wrong, but when facing the army led by Lin Chong himself, Yelu is too heavy and dare not divide too much. After thinking about it, he can only Arranged confidant generals, and dispatched [-] troops from the rear, but the result has not yet taken back the three states...

Originally wanted to wait for the return of the main force of the Liao army, but got accurate military information, His Majesty actually ignored Yan Yun's attack and continued to go south!

The bad news came one after another, Yelu Dezhong's brows were furrowed, facing the pleading of the generals, he thought over and over again, but still didn't dare to take the risk.

It doesn't matter if the opponent loses a female general. If another general is defeated by a female general, it will be a bolt from the blue. He can only shake his head and order: "The people of Song Dynasty are good at intrigue and tricks, and they sent female generals to use whatever means they can. , Destroy the morale of our army, don't fall for this trick, call for gold and withdraw!"

"The head coach is really a god-man, what the Liao people do is under control!"

When Mrs. Gu came back on her horse, seeing that the Liao army really retreated into the camp dejectedly, all the generals were convinced and pleaded for orders.

Li Yandao: "Yelude was defeated in Shandong, and he has lost the will to win. He just wants to keep defending and prevent us from going north."

"However, the Liao Kingdom favored martial arts, and the Khitan people believed in military power. He couldn't refuse to fight, and after experiencing several disastrous defeats, it would be logical for him to stop fighting on purpose..."

"However, although the battle is won, the threat of the tens of thousands of Liao troops should not be underestimated."

Zhu Wu frowned: "That's right, this Yelu Dezhong is a man who knows how to fight. The Liao army he dispatched blindly defended and took advantage of the geographical advantage. If we want to break through, I'm afraid we will win miserably in the end."

Just as when Chai Rong regained Mozhou and Yingzhou, he took Waqiaoguan and Yijinguan in the north of the two prefectures at the same time, and set up Yukouguan. There is also a similar checkpoint fortress over there, which is used to block the Song people's attack.

So as long as the commander is reliable, even if the Liao army is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of morale, but at least it has not reached the point of mutiny, then the next battle will still be fierce.

And hard work has turned the Township Corps and Township Corps into the size they are today, not to mention that Zhu Wu regards them as the military foundation for the next dynasty change, and other generals do not want to use these soldiers to fight the Liao people for their lives.

Naturally, Li Yan would not send it away: "When the secret comes back, let him come to see me in the camp. The generals are always ready to attack the camp at night."

The generals took orders: "Yes!"

"Brother, I'm back!"

Shi Qian returned soon, took out a long list and presented it: "These are Yanyun Han people's generals. At present, we have very few contacts, only less than [-]%. Others don't even read the letters. Shut out."

Li Yan took it, looked at the family background, temperament and hobbies, and specific contact time marked on it, and after a few glances, he understood: "It's a good job, but it's really not easy to persuade to surrender directly."

Shi Qian said: "Not only now, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to instigate rebellion in the future. These promoted Han people have a high degree of loyalty to the Liao Kingdom, otherwise they would not stand out in such an officialdom."

Li Yan had expected: "As long as the so-called compatriots in hostile countries are in the upper ranks, in order to prove their loyalty, they must raise the butcher's knife to their compatriots. There are too many examples of this throughout the ages."

"However, the situation of the Song and Liao countries is somewhat special. Since the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance, the two countries have been at peace for a hundred years. There must be small frictions, but the big ones are really not so hostile."

"If the government didn't have that turmoil and met Emperor Tianzuo who was so successful and reckless about the consequences of Liao Emperor, this war would not break out. I believe that the generals of the Han people in the land of Yanyun would not want the two countries to go to war..."

Shi Qian said slowly: "I understand the meaning of my brother. These people have been under the jurisdiction of the Southern Court of Liao Kingdom since they were young, and they have no sense of belonging to the Song Dynasty. As soon as they come up, let them turn against each other, and they will naturally be rejected. , the effect will be much better.”

Li Yan nodded: "You just send the letter, as long as they accept it, it will be a great achievement."

Shi Qian had an idea: "Brother, I'll go then!"

During the whole process, Zhu Wu, Lu Junyi, and Hua Rong were all on the sidelines. Zhu Wu was thoughtful after hearing this, but the latter two were a little puzzled.

Lu Junyi said: "The generals of the Han people certainly look forward to peace between the two countries, but now we are going north to Yanyun, how can we have anything to do with peace? They don't understand this truth..."

Hua Rong also said: "If Emperor Zuo doesn't come back today, or even put all his eggs in one basket and send his troops south, it's a matter of course. Could it be possible to let the Liao Emperor who is so happy to go back?"

Li Yan smiled: "Zengtou City was defeated, do you still remember the mistake Yelude made again?"

Lu Junyi said: "Of course, he ignored the conflict between the Khitan and the Jurchen, and we pretended that the siege was not going well, and then publicized that the Khitan people relied on the Jurchen fortress to survive, which intensified the conflict between the two, and finally led them to kill each other. Take advantage of it..."

Li Yandao: "The contradiction between Khitan and Jurchen is the contradiction between the ruling class and the exploited class. If the Jurchen are replaced by the Han people in the land of Yanyun, will the relationship between the two be greatly changed?"

Hua Rong thought of killing the Khitan generals and spared the Han people's lives in the battles of the past few days: "Brother, are you going to repeat the old trick?"

Lu Junyi felt even more confused: "Khitan and Jurchen, Khitan and Han people are indeed ruled and exploited! But with Zengtou City's painful lesson, Yelu Dezhong will definitely take precautions. Why did my brother let Judge Gongsun intentionally Let this person go, wouldn't it be easier to fall into the trap if the land of Yanyun was replaced by another governor?"

Li Yan said leisurely: "It's different this time, what I want is not that Yelu will fall into the trap, but that he will not fall into the trap!"

"Ignoring contradictions is certainly a big mistake, but knowing the contradictions and how to solve them is often a big problem, and it is even easy to overcorrect."

"The Liao Kingdom ruled the land of Yanyun for more than [-] years, and the relationship between the Khitan nobles and the Han people of Yanyun has lasted for such a long time. The relationship between the rulers has indeed formed a habit, but the habit does not mean that there is no resistance. "

"First, the pressure of food and grass caused Yanyun to complain, and then the loss of Yingzhou, Pingzhou and Luanzhou gradually exposed the weakness of the Liao army's external strength, and now the Khitan generals are being suppressed..."

"Think about it differently. If I were in a position where Yelu was important, I wouldn't know how to mediate the conflict. I can't forcefully separate the two parties..."

"Under such circumstances, if Yelv Dezhong finds out that the Han people are in contact with people from Shiqian, whether the topic of discussion is peace between the two countries, or the surrender of the war, and the fiasco of Zengtou City is in sight, what do you think Yelu Dezhong will do? ?”

……

"Thanks to the trust given by me, Daliao, these Han people dare to be restless!"

Hearing the guard's report, Yelu, who had been suspicious for a long time, pulled out the sword from his waist again, and his eyes became firm: "It's just that Lin Chong underestimated this king. How could this king fall twice in the same place?"
