Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 657 Ambush from All Sides
Huge huge... Crack!

With the sound of arrows flying into the sky, all the ambushes in Along Mountain were released.

"Report! Your Majesty! The Khitan soldiers are divided into three groups to break through the encirclement..."

"Your Majesty! Khitan is fleeing to the northeast!"

"Your Majesty! Khitan is turning south!"

"Your Majesty! Khitan has gone west again!"

……

The pieces of information reached Luo Youdu's ears, and the warning fireworks kept flying into the sky, exploding in the sky.

Luo Youdu looked at the flames constantly flying into the sky in the distance, opened his palms wide, and squeezed them hard, as if the Tathagata Buddha's Five Fingers Mountain was holding Khitan in the palm of his hand.

"After this battle, it will be difficult for Khitan to organize an effective counterattack."

Compared with the hunting method used by Khitan to trap Shi Shouxin, the ambush he set up for Khitan's pursuers this time is much more detailed and complicated.

Due to adequate preparations, they set up an ambush according to the terrain, not simply targeting the Khitan soldiers in the encirclement.

No matter how the Khitan jumped or ran around, the soldiers in charge of ambushes would not passively follow behind the Khitan soldiers, but retreated to the key point to wait for orders, and the people in front were responsible for intercepting them.

This requires extraordinary mobility, as well as strong investigative capabilities, as well as the executive ability to besiege the generals.

Just because of these three points, the current Dayu Army has everything.

In order to fight against the Khitan, Luo Youdu has been preparing for many years and has been stockpiling war horses. During this Northern Expedition, the accompanying horses alone amounted to 18 horses, of which 12 were war horses and [-] were pack horses.

The cavalry occupies one-third of the army and has sufficient mobility.

The telescope invented by the Ministry of Industry has made many achievements in this war, helping them to seize the opportunity everywhere, and the detection ability is far ahead of Khitan.

As for the execution ability of the generals, let alone the arrogant soldiers of the five generations, after two generations of governance by Guo Rong and Luo Youdu, they have turned into trustworthy soldiers.

Obedience is the bounden duty of a soldier.

Even in the middle of the game, it is not easy to escape.

This point Yelu Talie and Yelu Xiezhen felt the same way at the moment.

After they found out that Yao Neibin was bluffing, they dispelled all doubts, and the arrangements along the way in the Central Plains were probably delaying time.

If you really need to investigate bit by bit and slowly, maybe you won't be caught, but the Central Plains soldiers have long since disappeared.

The national power gap between Khitan and the Central Plains is very large, Yelu Wuzhi managed to seize the opportunity to win the victory through the five-year layout, and did not take the opportunity to expand the results and inflict heavy losses on the opponent.There will be a comeback in the future, where is the plan for another five years?

Yelu Talie was already careful enough, he stopped timidly and pursued with all his strength.

Until Liu Fu and He Jiyun blocked him.

In fact, if Yelu Talie still stopped beating, Liu Fu and He Jiyun's journey would also become a bluff.

Now that the Khitan has launched a full-scale attack, the two divisions are not retreating, turning the falsehood into reality, and giving the Khitan pursuers a head-on blow.

Yelu Talie and Yelu Xiezhen realized that something was wrong when they saw Zhongyuan using the divine arm bow.

The Divine Arm Bow is popular in the Dayu Army, but there is a rule in the army that if you lose on the battlefield, the Divine Arm Bow should be destroyed first, so as to prevent the Central Plains sharp weapon from falling into the enemy's hands.

If the Central Plains was really defeated, how could it be possible for the god-armed archer to come to the rear?

Isn't this the same as giving them benefits?

But when they realized that the situation was not good, it was too late to retreat.

"kill!"

Two groups of soldiers and horses crossed towards them from the front.

"Damn!"

Seeing this, Yelu Xiezhen cursed, and now he felt like a big net was covering them.No matter which direction they break through, soldiers will appear in front of them, blocking their way.

"My lord, we can't go on like this. If we continue not to fight, our soldiers will only become fewer and fewer, and we will eventually be swallowed up by them."

Yelu Xiezhen spoke out of breath.

Their goals are too big, and they choose to break through in batches.

Together with Yelu Talie, he led more than 1 people to break through to the east, intending to use Along Mountain to avoid pursuit.

It's just that their movements are firmly grasped by the opponent, and soldiers continue to appear in front of them to intercept them.

They didn't fight, and avoided the enemy, so as not to be entangled by the other party.

But every time they avoid the enemy, some soldiers will fall behind and be intercepted by the opponent.

The Central Plains soldiers did not follow behind them, but ate all the soldiers they left behind.

They come and go, they have not really fought against the enemy, and there are already 1 of the more than [-] people who are either left behind or intercepted.

Yelu Xiezhen was worried that if he continued running like this, he would have no soldiers in his hands before he escaped.

Yelu Talie threw the knife in his hand on the ground, took the servant and handed him a new knife, and said: "Everyone is careful, the current situation is very bad. This is no longer a matter of our carelessness. The whole Khitan, Including His Majesty in Dading Mansion, Yu Yue has been tricked."

Yelu Xiezhen had this feeling for a long time: if the Central Plains really wants to cut off food and grass, how could such a situation be set up?

"Eighty percent!"

Yelu Xiezhen's mouth was bitter, and there was a little powerlessness in his heart. The opponent was really terrible. Yelu Wuzhi's five years of planning failed to hurt the enemy at all, and he let the opponent fight back.

Can such a powerful enemy really win?
Yelu Talie glanced at the enemy not far away, and said: "The old man is now worried that the Dading Mansion does not know what to do, and covets to take advantage of the opportunity to rush in and cause even greater disasters. We must break through the siege as soon as possible and inform His Majesty Yuyue of the situation. The old man This old bone can't withstand too many bumps. While you still have strength, let's help you get out!"

Yelu Xiezhen hurriedly said: "No..."

Yelu Talie had a stern look on his face, and he didn't give Yelu Xiezhen a chance to refuse, saying: "Even if I break through the siege, I won't live for a few years. You are the future of my Khitan."

He said, holding up the knife in his hand, and shouted: "You good men of Khitan, dare to fight me to the death?"

Yelu Talie, who is sixty-seven this year, has white beard and hair, raised his saber and shouted at this moment, showing unyielding in his defiant manner.

Countless soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death..."

Yelu Talie didn't answer, and directly slapped the horse's back with the saber in his hand.

The painful war horse rushed out at once.

Looking at the flying white beard and hair, how could the young Khitan warrior have the nerve to stay behind?
They roared and followed behind Yelu Talie, and killed the Central Plains cavalry who were blocking them.

Both sides are brave men who are not afraid of life and death, and neither of them retreats in the slightest.

They hit each other hard...

People turn their backs!

Yelu Talie seemed to have returned to his youth, roaring loudly, slashing left and right with the brand new saber in his hand, for a moment he was invincible.

The Dayu general in charge of this interception, Li Jixie, the head of the Ma Jundu army, is Li Jixun's younger brother and is known for his bravery.

Facing the Khitan army shouting "fight to the death", Li Jixuan was fearless, roaring and waving the iron spear in his hand, and fought with the Khitan army.

Both sides fought forward hoarsely, and some people fell down, but at the moment of falling down, someone immediately filled up.

Yelu Talie cut down the enemy in front of him to the ground, and was about to catch his breath when he saw that a long spear had already stabbed him.

Before he was given time to breathe, the opponent had already filled the vacancy.

Yelu Talie raised his arm to block, the long spear pierced the thick wrist, and slid upwards with a few sparks, Yelu Talie took the opportunity to end the opponent's life with a knife.

Although unwilling to submit to his old age, Yelu Talie reluctantly backed away.

Yelu Talie, as the Great King of Khitan's North Academy, had a very high prestige, and his personal guards immediately helped him fill in the vacancy.

Yelu Talie panted heavily, taking the opportunity to observe the battle situation.

Even though he personally led the charge, the effect he obtained was nothing more than a tie with the Central Plains soldiers.

No one can do anything to each other, they are all fighting with their lives.

Yelu Talie frowned, they were surrounded and couldn't stay in one place for too long.

Although it was a tie on the surface, they were still at a disadvantage in reality.Once the opponent's reinforcements arrive, they will be hit hard.

Now they can't retreat. The experience of avoiding battles many times has shown that the more they avoid battles, the more their troops will be divided by the opponent, and they will eventually end up with no soldiers to fight.

Only by defeating the enemy in front of you can you have a plan to break out.

"what!"

During the observation, Yelv Talie discovered that there was a special general in the enemy formation opposite.The man was wearing a pitch-black Xuanjia, which looked a bit quaint, and it was an armor passed down from generation to generation in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

The opponent is brave, under the iron spear, there is no one enemy, they rely on flesh and blood to block it.

This person must be the leader of the army, if he can be beheaded, the overall situation will be settled.

Yelu Talie suddenly remembered Zhou Meng's method of Shi Yanchao after he committed suicide in the past, and called his personal guards to arrange it.

Li Jixuan roared again and again, his elder brother was the eldest among the ten brothers of Zhao Kuangyin Yishe.

In history, Li Jixun among the ten brothers of Yishe was the best and had the highest status.Originally, Zhao Kuangyin became the head of the ten brothers by virtue of the power gained in the Battle of Huainan.But Luo Youdu meddled, and Zhao Kuangyin did not subdue his brothers.

Li Jixun did not rebel with Zhao Kuangyin, but chose to surrender to Luo Youdu, who already controlled most of Kaifeng's military power.

Luo Youdu did not kill all the generals who had good friends with Zhao Kuangyin, but there are still other differences between closeness and closeness.

Li Jixun once served as the vanguard under Zhao Kuangyin's command. Out of instinct to avoid danger, although the generals knew that he was brave, they never dared to use him and did not get a good chance to make meritorious service.

But after Murong Yanzhao and Mi Xin got the opportunity to display their talents one by one, Han Chongyun dared to use Li Jixuan.

Although Li Jixuan had to be activated, it was much later. He originally belonged to the generation of Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and Shi Shouxin. It's too late, and I feel aggrieved.

Now that you have the opportunity to block, you must perform well no matter what, so that His Majesty will know my name, Li Jixie.

He bit the rein with his teeth, brandished a big iron gun with both hands, and used the gun as a stick to knock down the enemies in front of him one by one.

"Have the opportunity!"

Li Jixie's eyes suddenly lit up, the enemy line showed signs of loosening, he had no time to think, and devoted himself wholeheartedly, the long spear in his hand rushed forward, tearing a hole in the tide of soldiers.

After killing several enemies in a row, Li Jixuan glanced back, and the soldiers under him had skillfully followed him and wedged deeply into the enemy army.

"Ha ha!"

He was overjoyed, and even more arrogant, he rushed forward to kill.

The three riders of the enemy soldiers in front rushed towards him with their spears.He lowered his body and dodged the spear, clamped his right arm, clamped the spear between his ribs, and swept the iron spear in an umbrella shape, blood spurted from the necks of the three of them, and they fell off the horse.

Just when he wanted to show off, four weapons attacked from all directions, and he realized that he was rushing so fast that he was out of touch.The surrounding Khitan soldiers were constantly urging their horses, and came to attack him from all directions.

Li Jixie let out a loud roar, without fear at all, flying the spear in his hand vertically and horizontally, fighting to injure his back, he beheaded all four of them under the horse.

Li Jixie planned to turn his horse and kill him, but he didn't want a Khitan soldier who fell to the ground and was dying to slash Li Jixie's horse's leg before he died.

Li Jixie was overturned from the horse's back, and before he could stand up, a horse's hoof stepped on the ground.

Seeing this, Yelu Talie was terrified, and even more overjoyed. Seeing Li Jixie's sudden attack bravely, he was in a red-eyed state, so he wanted to lure him into the formation to encircle and kill him.

I didn't want the opponent's soldiers to be brave, and my deliberately exposed flaw almost gave the opponent the opportunity to tear a hole.

Fortunately, he was reckless and held his own courage. If he were a little calmer, he would be shooting himself in the foot.

"The general is dead, you will not retreat!"

Yelu Talie held his sword high and roared loudly.

Those in the army who understood the Chinese language followed suit and shouted loudly.

"The enemy will die, and you will not retreat!"

Those who don't understand Chinese also yelled, and their morale soared.

This battle of beheading the enemy generals is something worth applauding no matter what.

However, what happened next was beyond Yelu Talie's expectation. Li Jixuan's death in battle did cause a lot of turmoil to the intercepting Dayu army.

But soon Fan Yuzi, the head of the Ma Jun's deputy capital, took over the command and stabilized the situation.

Yelu Talie was dumbfounded when he saw this. The general was killed, but he managed to stabilize the situation in such a short period of time. The soldiers of the Yu Dynasty were terrible.

An official of his level would naturally be able to learn first-hand information about the Central Plains.

Regarding the military status promoted by the Yu Dynasty to replace the inherently arrogant soldiers, there are mixed opinions among them.But in any case, he never expected such an effect.

"kill!"

Just when they were in a stalemate, the Dayu cavalry came to support them behind them.

Yelu Talie looked at the rapidly approaching torrent behind him, and immediately said: "Moorha, you stay and block it. Others, still have the strength to follow me!"

Holding the long knife high, he rushed towards the cavalry behind him, and shouted: "Be careful, remember the old man's words!"

With a determination to die, Yelu Talie rushed to the cavalry who came to support him.

Spears and spears staggered, horses collided, and the most forward warriors of the two armies immediately fell down with blood, and the ownerless horses ran away and fell down.

Yelu Talie was old and had been fighting for a long time, and his physical strength had long been neglected. At the moment of the collision, his mind was dazzled for a while, and he fell off the horse.

Following Yelusha, Prime Minister of the Southern Mansion, the Great King of Khitan North Court died in battle...

Yelu Xiezhen had tears in his eyes, seeing the little time Yelu Talie bought for himself, he gritted his teeth and roared: "Withdraw!"
