The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 410
The sky light pierced people's eyes, and Yelu Abaoji, who still had a slightly stunned expression on his face, was buzzing in his ears by the huge noise, shouting, and explosions, and heard Lu Wenjin calling him: " Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

It was only then that he reacted from the sudden change. After successive defeats and then the feeling of being ambushed surged, Yelu Abaoji raised his arms tremblingly, his scalp was numb and he wanted to speak out and give orders.The enemies rushing out of the dense forest on both sides in the distance in the eyes rushed down like a torrent.

The dragon-like leather army and the tribal army stood in the middle of the road. In panic, under the shouts and reprimands of the generals, they barely moved. Coupled with repeated defeats and being hunted down, their morale sank to a trough after all, and it was too late to get rid of them. Out of the defensive array, the crazily running figures reflected in the bottom of his eyes instantly drew closer.

"Hold on—"

"Combine!"

The voice of Yelu Haili resounded in the crowd, and then, the torrent swept across, and when it touched the front line, there was a loud bang, and the figures rushing down the hillside hit the front line with their shields and knives, and the shields were against the Khitan infantry and cavalry After the continuous collision, He Gui cut off a horse's leg. He stood up holding the knife stained with blood, and let out a ferocious cry: "Cut off the head of Yelu Abaoji, reward him with gold, and seal him!"

Countless voices and running figures followed and shouted: "Kill the Khitan Emperor!"

Within two breaths, more ambush soldiers rushed into the crowd forming a "long queue". The panicked Khitan soldiers and horses had no formation to resist, and the formation thickness of only two rows was instantly pierced. The Tuo soldiers spread rapidly to the left and right like a torrent that broke through the wall, cutting through the waves and advancing for more than 30 feet. Scattered Khitan soldiers crowded into the field outside the road to fight sporadic enemies.

Wang Yanzhang picked up the Khitan cavalry on the opposite horse with one shot, swung the iron gun and roared, and directly deflected the spears that were stabbed at him, and the Liang soldiers behind him spread out in large numbers, frantically moving towards the front, left and right. The Khitan people who could be seen swung their knives wildly.

Thousands of knives criss-crossed, flesh and blood flew, and the screaming Khitan soldiers fell one after another. Some people rushed up, their arms were cut off, and some people fell to the ground with arrows on their horses, and were dragged along by the stirrups. .

In just a few tens of breaths, the road at the foot of the mountain was intertwined with people, almost overwhelming massacres.

"People in this era, whether they are the Han Chinese in the Central Plains or the Shatuo people, are extremely cruel. Why did they become so useless in the Northern Song Dynasty?"

On the edge of the cliff above the battlefield, a figure standing under a pine tree with his hands behind his back looked at the continuous fighting below. No matter the Han soldiers or the Shatuo people, they did not fight the current Khitan soldiers as the soldiers who established the country.

It was a one-sided killing.

Geng Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, let's not talk about it after the Northern Song Dynasty, when the country was first established, it was quite sensual, but how come Zhao Kuangyi played the title of God of Gaoliang River Chariot.

In the back half of the road below, Yelu Abaoji had calmed down from his astonishment, and he gave orders in a bold and unrestrained voice, directing the troops behind to form an formation and press forward to stabilize the front line.

"That Yelu Abaoji is still very powerful." Jiuyu walked aside. He is a warrior with excellent eyesight, and he saw the emperor commanding troops under the banner at a glance. Do you want me to kill him and give him a sneak attack."

"hold on"

Geng Qing was quite moved when he heard this, but he was still unwilling to put his brother in danger. Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye. Looking at the direction the Khitan people came from, a wisp of dust and smoke drifted obliquely in the air.

With a smile on his face, he said softly:
"You don't need to go to this battle, you will win!"

Over there, the Tribal Army and the Pishi Army mobilized by Yelu Abaoji gathered from the rear and pushed forward in a formation posture. When they forced the defeated comrades to stop, a fast horse brought news from behind. After hearing the report, the emperor on horseback's face changed drastically, and he instinctively turned his head sideways, his pupils were closed in the sunlight, and he saw dust and smoke floating on the other side of the mountain road, and could faintly hear the movement of countless iron hooves stepping across the ground .

He suddenly pulled out the straight knife at his waist, facing the guards on the left and right: "Rush into the enemy's formation, rush past—"

Following Yelu Abaoji's point of the sword, a group of personal guards followed and rushed out of the road on horseback.Yan Bao, He Gui, Wang Yanzhang and other generals who came from the fight spread out and killed a bloody path in the crowd. It was difficult to notice the big change in the Khitan rear formation. A cavalry of thousands of people separated from the Khitan army formation and stuck to the foot of the mountain. Bypassing the fight on the road.

The group of people standing on the cliff could see clearly, Dachun was chewing fried beans, jumping up and down eagerly, pointing at a furry army running around and shouting: "Run away!"

Dou Wei raised his voice and yelled downward: "Emperor Khitan has run away, he is on your left!"

The voice pierced far below among the battle groups fighting, He Gui was the first to hear him, he killed a person, stepped on the corpse and moved to the side, looking through the gap between the fighting figures, he saw the Khitan Emperor's face The sun and moon flag is passing quickly from the side.

"Yelu Abaoji!!" he hissed.

Wang Yanzhang, Yan Bao, Li Siyuan and others also saw it, and hurriedly asked Shi Jingtang who was close to the edge to lead troops to intercept it.The cavalry running wildly in the field has the power to crush everything, how can the soldiers who rushed over can resist?

As soon as the contact was made, the person who was hit was turned upside down, and the formation was directly torn apart.

"Tell the emperor to run away, and Dou Wei loudly told the Khitan emperor to run away—" Geng Qing also looked a little anxious, unexpectedly, Yelu Abaoji said that he would leave the soldiers and horses, and he was really unambiguous at all.Just as Dou Wei raised his voice and continued to shout, the sound of rumbling horseshoes suddenly sounded, galloping towards this direction from south to north.

Under the sun, the mighty iron armor reflected the coldness of the metal. Nine thousand Longyou iron cavalry grew up the dragon winding the mountain road. Li Cunxiao rushed forward on horseback. At the end of his field of vision, he directly ignored the fighting in groups, and his eyes locked on They caught sight of the Khitan cavalry that was circling the field, especially the moving banner.

He suddenly raised his lance and pointed to the right: "Don't chase the big banner, kill this way, Yelu Abaoji will surely escape from its shell!"

Running away with such a conspicuous sun and moon flag, no one with a little brain would do it unless it was done deliberately.

Rumbling--

A black mass of galloping cavalry quickly changed formations while running, and violently killed towards the right side where there were few soldiers and horses fighting.

"Yelu Abaoji—"

The majestic voice resounded throughout the world. Among a small group of cavalry, a figure wearing an ordinary iron helmet turned his head subconsciously, and the mighty Han cavalry chased after him. The leader, with a fierce face, charged forward The Khitan cavalrymen couldn't block a single blow from his hands, they were immediately pulled off their horses, and flew far away like hitting a monkey.

Yelu Abaoji turned around with his scalp numb, frantically whipped his horsewhip, and kept yelling, "Drive! Drive!"

Behind him, the Longyou cavalry swept across everything, and the soldiers who wanted to intercept were like plowed dirt, leaving long bloodstains.On the cliff, morale was suddenly boosted, and Dachun ran quickly along the edge of the cliff, pointing and shouting: "The Khitan emperor is hiding inside! They only have a few hundred riders, and the governor will kill them directly!"

His voice was no better than Dou Wei's, and when he passed it down, he was covered by the sound of fighting.

Needless to say, Li Cunxiao, who was chasing him, also knew that Yelu Abaoji was among the cavalry, but he just changed his armor, so even if he couldn't recognize him, he would slaughter all the cavalry.

However, just after five miles, a city pass loomed in his eyes, and a Khitan army was coming out of the city pass to meet him, and formed a formation on the road.
