Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 650
Yelusha avoided Wang Tingyi's volley by virtue of his superb riding skills.

Wang Tingyi's speed had already increased, unable to turn, he could only plunge into the soldiers behind Yelusha.

The king lost Yelusha's figure in the present, and was anxious and angry. He vented his anger on the Khitan soldiers in front of him. He cut melons and vegetables with a big knife in his hand, and harvested the Khitan soldiers in front of him.

Although Wang Tingyi did not stop Yelusha, but the [-] cavalry who followed Yelusha in the death charge made him stay [-]%.

Of course, he was also entangled by the [-]% cavalry.

Luo Youdu looked at the fearless Yelusha, and said to Qin Han, "Go!"

Qin Han jumped on his horse skillfully, hundreds of banners waved at the front of the formation, and the black armor and black armor of the Imperial Army Division's elite cavalry roared to meet him.

The two troops charged at each other and approached like lightning...

Yelusha intends to repeat the old trick and bypass Qin Han's interception again.

But compared to Wang Tingyi's straightforwardness, Qin Han has a calmness that doesn't match his age.

Having learned from Wang Tingyi's past, Qin Han guarded against Yelusha's move.

With the same action, he still stood in front of Yerusha.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Yelusha slashed at Qin Han's face with his mace.

Qin Han showed no signs of fear, he put the long spear on the mace in his hand, turned the gun sideways, and hit him repeatedly, but it was four or two strokes of a thousand catties.

This move is a unique skill taught to Qin Han by Gao Huaide. It uses ingenuity to make the enemy's strength invisible, and then a backhand blow that takes advantage of the situation can even kill the enemy.

But Yelusha followed Yelude Guang to fight in the world when he was young, and he has experienced more than a hundred battles in his life. His combat experience is so rich, seeing that the mace in his hand lost control, he just gave up and stretched out his hand to grab the spear in Qin Han's hand.

Qin Han was greatly surprised. Although he didn't panic, he hesitated with the spear in his hand, avoided Yelusha's grasp, and stabbed him directly on the shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Yelusha didn't dodge or dodge, and took his blow forcefully.

The two moved as fast as thunder and lightning, and in the next moment, blood spattered, and the two riders joined together and separated.

Qin Han's spear pierced Yelusha's armor, leaving a huge wound on his shoulder.

After being hit with one blow, Qin Han secretly shouted: "Not good!"

The two had already passed each other, and it was too late for Qin Han to chase after him.

Yelusha completely ignored his useless left arm, drew out the scimitar at his waist, cut down the two people standing in front of him, and continued to charge forward.

There was only one thought in his mind: to fight in front of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and obtain a chance of victory for their Khitan.

Right in front of you!

Coming!
He had already seen Luo Youdu's pennant, and the "Luo" and "Yu" banners waving in the wind were the most important figures in the Southern Dynasty.

As long as he is killed, the Southern Dynasty will be in chaos.

"kill!"

Yelusha looked at the distance of two hundred steps and shouted loudly, but a tricky arrow shot in the air, and the horse under his crotch let out a mournful cry, throwing him off the horse.

An arrow feather went deep into the horse's neck, only a small section of the arrow tail was exposed, which shows the strength of the arrow.

Fu Yanqing, who was old and strong, took back his bow and arrow, looked at Yelusha with some respect, and held the sword at his waist, ready to step forward to fight with him at any time.Back then, he was also the tiger general who led thousands of horses to charge the Khitan's [-] troops, killing Yelu Deguang and fleeing alone.

Yelusha rolled several times, got up without stopping, and continued to charge in the direction of the "Luo" and "Yu" banners.

Under Qin Han's interception, only a dozen or so of the remaining two hundred cavalrymen beside Yelusha rushed out. Commander, speed up the assault in the direction of his commander's charge.

More than a dozen people held their guns and jumped on their horses...

However, what they were facing was the strong crossbowmen who were already on standby: the soul-chasing crossbow shot them into hedgehogs with a loud shout from Shu Yuan.

Although Yelusha charged on foot, his speed was not slow, and he charged within the effective lethality of the crossbow.

Two arrows pierced through his chest, Yelusha couldn't stand the strength of the arrows, and fell to the ground on his back.

Faced with such a fatal injury, he actually struggled to get up, and took two quick steps forward, as if realizing that his vitality had reached the end, and with his last strength, he threw the scimitar in his hand at the target.

The scimitar didn't fly very far, it just landed a foot away and stuck on the ground.

Yerusha himself fell headfirst to the ground and could not get up again.

Luo Youdu looked at Yelusha, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and at the scimitar stuck in the ground in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, "He's a man! It's a good burial!"

He paused and said, "Rang Bai is obviously ready!"

At this point in the battle, it would be foolish for Khitan not to retreat.

Although he wanted to settle Khitan in one battle, it was obviously not realistic.

If the other party hadn't let go of the fatal mistake, relying on the national strength of Dayu and Khitan, they would have to confront each other for a long time before deciding the final outcome.

All he has to do is to seize every victory as much as possible and consume the enemy as much as possible.

As he spoke, he ignored Yelusha, but looked at the battlefield in the distance.

With Yelusha's sudden death charge, the original deadlock was broken.

The defeat of the Pishiying Army accelerated the demise of the Tielin Army.

Hu Yanzan, a reckless man, naturally pursued and killed the Pishi Yingjun.

However, Dang Jin spontaneously cooperated with Liu Fu's guards to besiege and kill the Tielin army.

In the distance is the Khitan military camp.

The wind wafted into Yelu Bishe's mouth and nose with the smell of blood, and it seemed that Yelusha could still be heard roaring and fighting along the wind.

He clenched his fists, knowing in his heart: Yelusha is gone!
The Prime Minister of the Nanfu, a high-ranking general in the middle school died in such a tragic way...

Yelu Wuzhi was also dumbfounded and at a loss. He had this premonition before the battle, but when it really happened, the grief and guilt welled up in his heart. Tears dazzled his eyes, his chest hurt, and his mouth was faintly filled with blood. smell.

"Your Majesty, withdraw, there is no chance of winning."

Yelu Yazhi endured the discomfort and advised Yelu Bishe to withdraw his troops.

The unfavorable battle situation was visible to the naked eye, and Yelu Bishe didn't want to cause more casualties, so he gave the order to retreat.

This time, Yelu Wuzhi did not seek Yelu Bishe's opinion, but said on his behalf: "Xi Di, you are in charge of the queen, don't get too entangled with the enemy."

Yelu Xidi was the number one warrior in Khitan, he was good at wielding a big ax for cutting mountains, and he had the courage that no man should deserve. He obeyed the order, rode out on his horse, and promised loudly.

Watching Khitan blowing the flute to retreat, Luo Youdu immediately issued a new order: "Order Lingbo's army to attack, notify the right wing to cover up and pursue, and let Zhang Qiong, Dangjin, Huyanzan, and Liu Fu all retreat."

Apart from Liu Fu, Zhang Qiong, Dang Jin, and Hu Yanzan are all generals who are easy to get ahead of, and Luo Youdu is not worried about letting them pursue them.

The surrounding terrain is quite complicated, and the flood plain where they are located is suitable for large armies to fight.

But after leaving the alluvial plain, the Yanshan Mountains and the Mayu Mountains are sandwiched between them, surrounded by mountains, and the roads are rugged, and the army cannot be deployed, so it is most suitable for ambushes.

Although they won this battle, the Khitan's strength is well preserved, and they must be careful in their pursuit.

Lingbo's army was not afraid of ambushes by water, but had to defend by land.

The focus of this battle was on the front army and the left wing, but Ma Junsi, the guard on the right wing, was left out in the cold.

His concerns were quickly confirmed.

Zhang Chonggui, who was in charge of the pursuit, fought a battle with Yelu Xidi, and realized that the other party was deliberately leading him to the south of the mountain road, so he dared not continue to chase.

And Bai Ming's Lingbo army was even blocked in the pursuit. The opponent set up a giant tree in the stream, and the Lingbo army's ships could not pass.

The opponent made a backhand in advance and made complete preparations for the retreat.

"This time they learned how to behave!"

He set up an ambush on the road as he expected, and drove wooden stakes in the water, presumably he had learned the lesson of Yelu Dumin.

Luo Youdu was not surprised by this.

Even if he has full confidence in his generals, he still has a hand.

Of course it's not just them, it's been like this throughout the ages.

Otherwise, where would the rear army come from?

Luo Youdu arranged for Kang Zaiyu to clean up the battlefield.

Seeing the soldiers cheering for victory, he raised his arms and said, "Return to camp!"

With an order, the soldiers returned in triumph.

Luo Youdu looked back at the battlefield, feeling inexplicably in a trance, and returned to the barracks, he asked someone to call Fu Yanqing, and in private, he didn't follow the rules, and asked: "Yue Zhang, today's big victory is something to be happy about. But I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart..."

Fu Yanqing said in one sentence: "Does Your Majesty feel that everything is going too smoothly?"

Luo Youdu didn't answer, but came to the big map on the right side of the big tent, stared at the map and said: "It's true, since I sent the navy to attack Koryo and Wa, everything is moving according to my layout. Every step of Khitan is in my calculations, giving me the same feeling that I am Han Xin and Li Jing."

There are countless powerful famous generals in China, each with its own strengths, but when it comes to the battle of immortals, Han Xin and Li Jing are the benchmarks.

With weak soldiers, Han Xin defeated the Chu army between Beijing and Suo, captured the king of Wei, and defeated Zhao Miedai miraculously.

Li Jing has made great achievements in military affairs all his life. You can see that he fought in battles, and he can't see any cleverness at all, but he can make terrible achievements. Simple, I don't know how he did it.

Now he has this feeling, coming all the way, grabbing advantages everywhere, winning consecutive battles, relaxed and comfortable, which makes him feel a little smug.

Fortunately, he has always been prudent, has seen the world, experienced many storms, knows his own weight, and dare not compare with Han Xin, Li Jing and others.

Fu Yanqing is also an old fritters, first smiled and said: "Your Majesty fought north and south, conquered the world, was invincible and invincible, how could he not be compared with Han and Li? Looking at the thousands of years of Chinese history, there is a man who is so civilized and governed by His Majesty." There is only Tang Taizong who is a master of martial arts."

He flattered us first, and then got to the point: "In fact, the veteran also had this concern at the beginning. According to the experience of the veteran and the Khitan for many years, they do not lack the determination and courage to die with us, and they feel that they have a backup. But Today's battle, on the contrary, I feel that I may have worried too much. Yelusha's desperate fight today can also be seen. Yelusha is the prime minister of the Nanfu, the top figure in Khitan. If he is not forced to, he should be at the end of his life. Not so impulsive."

Khitan's official position is Yu Yue above everything else, and under Yue, it is the King of the South and North Courts, and then the North and South Prime Ministers.The status may be inferior to the kings of the South and North Courts, but the real power is not lower than them.

Regardless of how many enemies were killed in this battle, just beheading Yelusha, the Prime Minister of Khitan's Nanfu, is a huge harvest.

It can almost be said that after the founding of Khitan, the highest-ranking official was killed in action.

Even Yelusha is dead, so what is there to doubt?

Fu Yanqing said: "Although the veteran has lived in seclusion these years, he knows a thing or two about the changes in the world. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has promulgated many laws to strengthen the country. It is true that Khitan has many good masters and virtuous ministers, and its national strength has improved to a certain extent. However, compared with the imperial court, it cannot be judged by reason. The strength of the two sides has long been unequal. Even if it is destroyed, it is also reasonable."

Luo Youdu nodded slightly, this explanation is also reasonable.

As the emperor, Luo Youdu still has a certain understanding of the size of the two countries.

Militaryly, Khitan can still resist one or two, but in terms of politics and economy, it is not at the same level at all.

Luo Youdu was a little relieved, and chatted with Fu Yanqing for a while.

It just so happened that Fu Yanqing resigned knowingly when a letter came from the south.

Luo Youdu held the ugly letter like a baby, watching him describe the big and small things in the temple in Beijing with childish words.

There is Dou Yi in government affairs, Kou Xiang in pleading for the people, Han Xizai in supervision, and Zhao Pu in charge of the overall situation. Although Chou Chou is small, with the assistance of the few of them, he can easily carry the burden of supervising the country.

As for the group of "scholar bureaucrats" headed by Zhang Zhao, there is no voice now.

After Luo Youdu handed over the list of Zhang Zhao's intercession to Zhao Pu through Chou Chou, Zhao Pu, who had a target, launched a targeted attack.

Zhao Pu's best move was to release Zhang Zhao, only to force him to retire from the power center, and then deal with other scholar-officials who lacked prestige.

This is also what Luo Youdu admires most about Zhao Pu, he will not do things to the extreme.

Close Zhang Zhao, lure the rest of the party, release Zhang Zhao, avoid being the target of public criticism, and then deal with the remnant party that emerges.

As for Zhang Zhao himself, this old man with half of his legs in the coffin, after all this trouble, how much more trouble can he cause?
Zhao Pu's combination of punches will always be suppressed by Luo Youdu, and the "scholar-bureaucrat group" who can only hide in the dark will be severely injured.

Luo Youdu knew that it was normal for there to be a gap between civil and military, and he also needed checks and balances between civil and military.

The "Scholar-bureaucrat Group" has hurt Wufu too deeply. Their purpose is to distrust the military officer and surpass the military officer. This is unacceptable to Luo Youdu.

It is his ultimate plan to clear out these stubborn guys little by little and replace them with a group of civil and military officials who can check and balance each other and cooperate with each other at critical moments.

Of course he also knew it was difficult, but he had to do it.

Otherwise, the scholar-bureaucrat group in the Song Dynasty and the literati group in the Ming Dynasty would be a lesson from the past.

Luo Youdu was about to fall asleep reading Chou Chou's letter when he suddenly heard the news that Zhang Jin was begging to see him outside the tent.

"Your Majesty, there is news of the Iraqi trial."
