Chapter 188 Capture Yelu Hongji Alive

Chapter 188 Capture Yelu Hongji Alive (Ask for a monthly ticket!!!)
On a clear night, the sky is full of stars twinkling, like countless silver beads, densely embedded in the dark night.

A full moon hangs high in the sky. In the Liao army camp, the soldiers fell into a deep sleep. The bitter battle for more than a month has put tremendous pressure on both the attacker and the defender, and only at night can there be a moment of tranquility.

However, at this time, a group of soldiers from the Song Army had quietly reached within fifty paces of the Liao Army's camp, and the surrounding Liao Army scouts had been quietly cleared away.

Forty steps, thirty steps, this elite team has been able to see the appearance of the guards of the Liao Army.

Twenty steps away, just as they were about to approach the gate of the Liao army camp, their figures were exposed by the bonfire at the gate.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Cui Zhi cursed secretly, bent his bow and shot and killed the patrolling soldiers of the Liao Army who were shouting.

At this time, fifty steps away, Qin Hao saw a commotion at the entrance of the Liao army camp, and knew that Cui Zhi and the others must have been exposed, so he immediately stepped on his horse and led the large troops towards the Liao army camp.

On the other side, Gu Tingye, who was originally stationed in the west city of Youzhou, had also led the cavalry to the Liao army camp.

At this time, the Liao army camp had fallen into a chaotic battle. Cui Zhi's team desperately moved away the obstacles at the gate of the camp, and the Liao army swarming around surrounded them.

Cui Zhi was already red-eyed, and there were fewer and fewer robes around him, and the enemies seemed to be endless, just when he fell into despair, suddenly the ground began to shake.

Qin Hao led the leading cavalry and felt that these were the only [-] cavalry in his hands. They were formed by salt workers rescued from the salt field. On the way, displaced Han people from the north continued to join. They were full of hatred for the Liao Kingdom. Today They are here for revenge!

"kill!!!"

Qin Hao took the lead and killed several Liao soldiers with a sweeping knife in his hand. The scarlet blood spilled all over the ground, and the original yellow ground instantly turned reddish brown.

"Kill!!!" Seeing this, Cui Zhi lifted his spirits and shouted, swiping his knife and slashing at the Liao soldiers in front of him.

The cavalry is basically killing the infantry. The soldiers of the Liao army have no experience of fighting the cavalry with the infantry. In the past, they used the cavalry to tease the soldiers of the Song army, but now they have tasted the taste of being tortured.

The camp of the Liao army was in chaos. Qin Haoma stepped into the enemy camp and led two thousand cavalry to rampage in the camp. Many soldiers of the Liao army were still intoxicated in sleep, and they were trampled into flesh.

The Liao army who came out to resist was also beheaded one by one. At this time, the infantry of the Song army had also arrived, and followed Qin Hao's cavalry to clean up those fish that slipped through the net.

At this time, Yelu Hongji was awakened. Hearing the commotion outside, Yelu Hongji thought it was the leader of that tribe who was drinking too much and went berserk until the guard came in to report in panic.

"Your Majesty is not well. The Song army attacked the camp at night and has already killed the Chinese army's tent."

"What?" Yelu Hongji turned pale with shock. At this time, the Liao Kingdom had been in peace for decades. As the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Hongji had not experienced too many tests. After inheriting the throne, he began to devote himself to Buddhism. The personal conquest was also the first time he had experienced a war of this scale.

After rushing out of the tent of the Chinese army, what caught his eyes was the sky full of flames, and the screams of the Liao army filled the eardrums, all of which made the Liao Daozong at a loss.

But at this moment, the ground began to shake, and Gu Tingye's [-] cavalry had arrived at the south gate of the Liao army's camp. After killing it, he occupied the south gate in an instant.

"Haha, come in with me and capture Yelu Hongji alive, sons and daughters, today is the day when you will be named wife and Mengzi!" Gu Tingye shouted excitedly.

"kill!!!"

The camp of the Liao army was in complete chaos. Qin Hao's [-] cavalry set fires everywhere. When the soldiers of the Liao army came out of their tents screaming, what awaited them were the cold spears of the infantrymen of the Song army.

At this time, Yelu Hongji finally came to his senses, and said through gritted teeth: "Yelu Zongbao, I order you to lead the Pishi army and wipe out all the invading Song army!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Yelu Zongbao got on his horse and whistled, followed by [-] Pishi soldiers, and rushed towards the camp that was burning with flames.

Soon, the three parties collided. Qin Hao and Gu Tingye killed and set fire all the way, and finally met in the middle of the Liao army camp. Just as the two were about to attack the Chinese army's tent, a group of cavalry roared towards them.

There are no generals fighting, spamming each other, hitting, slashing, screaming, like two torrents of steel colliding together.

The Pishi Army is indeed the most elite cavalry in the Liao Kingdom. The Song Army cavalry suffered a lot as soon as they came into contact.

However, there were still infantry behind the cavalry of the Song Army, and the cavalry without speed was a living target.

Yeluzong Bao's eyes were all red. This is the Pishi Army. Every death would be a huge loss to the Liao Kingdom. On the open battlefield, this is an elite who can outnumber ten. Change one.

Gu Tingye was also red-eyed. The cavalry team he pulled up with great difficulty was almost overwhelmed by the opponent in a single encounter. This was all his hard work.

"Take your life!" Gu Tingye yelled and rushed towards Yelu Zongbao to capture the thief first.

Qin Hao also followed closely behind with a simple knife in his hand, so there was no need to talk about martial arts on the battlefield.

Yelu Zongbao did not retreat but advanced, his thoughts coincided with the two, and he rushed towards Qin Hao and Gu Tingye brandishing a spear.

As a general who can be trusted by Yelu Hongji and lead the Pishi Army, Yelu Zongbao is known as the number one warrior in the Liao Kingdom, so of course he didn't blow it out.

Even if Gu Tingye, who was born with supernatural power, collided with the opponent's weapon, his mouth was numb, and he almost couldn't take out the weapon.

At this time, Qin Hao had already rushed to the horse, and smashed Huashan with a simple and unpretentious force, and slashed at Yelu Zongbao's head. Yelu Zongbao had just confronted Gu Tingye with a move, and it was too late to dodge, so he could only grab and parry .

However, Qin Hao's strength was much greater than he had imagined. Yelu Zongbao tried his best to resist, but Pu Dao still slashed on his shoulder.

Yelu Zongbao gritted his teeth in pain and pushed Qin Hao's simple knife away. At this time, Gu Tingye's spear had already pierced towards his throat.

Yelu Zongbao, one leaned sideways, with only two feet straddling the stirrups, escaped the fatal blow.

However, before he could catch his breath, Qin Hao's plain knife slashed at his waist again. Yelu Zongbao knew that the two in front of him would be difficult to deal with alone, and he would only die when they teamed up, so he slammed his legs together. Clamping the horse's belly, he jumped out, taking away two Song Army cavalry with the spear in his hand.

"Where to go!" Gu Tingye lifted the reins, and the mount under him also rushed out.

Qin Hao did not follow, but took over the command of the cavalry: "I am the Marquis of Jinghai, all the Song troops obey my command, form a conical formation! Take me as the arrow, the cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, charge! "

Under Qin Hao's command, the Song army began to regroup, but the Pishi army had to rely on instinct to fight because Yelu Zongbao had left the battlefield.

The two sides collided again, and the formation of the Pishi army was instantly dispersed. The conical formation with Qin Hao as the arrow was like a sharp sword piercing directly into the heart of the Pishi army. The casualties of the Pishi Army were much greater than last time.

At this time, Yelu Zongbao circled around and finally rushed back to the battlefield. Seeing this scene, he was so distressed that he almost vomited blood. For this charge alone, the Pishi army paid the price of [-] casualties.

"Retreat!" Yelu Zongbao made a decisive decision. He knew that in such a narrow terrain, the Pishi army could not fully deploy. If this continued, the only way to wipe out the entire army was, so he had no choice but to order a retreat.

How could Qin Hao and Gu Tingye allow him to withdraw so easily? This is the Pishi Army, and it is profitable to kill one more, leading the cavalry to bite the tail of the Pishi Army.

In this way, you chased after me and soon reached the position of the central army. Yelu Hongji was shocked when he saw that his proud leather army was actually being chased and beaten.

Yelu Zongbao also came to Yelu Hongji at this time: "Your Majesty, there is nothing to be done, first withdraw from the camp, gather troops, and then fight back!"

Yelu Hongji panicked, and said repeatedly: "Okay, get out, get out!"

Qin Hao saw a middle-aged man wearing golden armor in front of the tent of the Chinese army, his eyes lit up, and he laughed at Gu Tingye: "Cousin, that man is probably Yelu Hongji, why don't we compete to see who can catch him?" !"

"Haha, this person must be in my pocket." Gu Tingye let out a long laugh, and directly patted his horse and chased in the direction of Yelu Hongji.

Qin Hao followed closely behind, scolding with a smile: "You are cheating!"

Yelu Hongji was startled when he heard the rumbling hoofbeats behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw two young Song generals chasing after him, slapping the horse's buttocks desperately, and fled.

Seeing the emperor running, the Liao army naturally followed without organizing any decent resistance. In this way, Qin Hao and Gu Tingye chased and killed the emperor from dark to dawn. After chasing to the boundary of Shunzhou, seeing Yelu Hongji enter Shunzhou City, he stopped the pursuit.

Gu Tingye patted his thigh regretfully: "Let this old man run away!"

Qin Hao patted Gu Tingye's shoulder with a smile: "Run? Where are you going?"

Then ordered: "Siege!"

If Yelu Hongji ran straight all the way, relying on the footsteps of the Khitan horse, maybe he really ran away, and ended up running into the city by himself, then no wonder he was there.

At this time, outside Youzhou City, Zhao Yingce and Yinggong were cleaning the battlefield, and they both laughed from ear to ear.

In the battle last night, the camp of the Liao army fell. There were as many as 50,000 people captured by the Liao army, hundreds of thousands of horses, and countless supplies. After this battle, not only the siege of Youzhou was lifted, but the Liao Kingdom also lost With the strongest combat effectiveness, the recovery of Yanyun Sixteen States is just around the corner.

At this moment, the messenger in front brought back a piece of good news that stunned the two of them.

"Haha, the Liao Kingdom is really destroyed by heaven, the Marquis of Jinghai and the Marquis of Ningyuan actually blocked the emperor of the Liao Kingdom!"

Zhao Yingce didn't care too much, and directly left the aftermath work to the British Duke, and went to Shunzhou with [-] infantry. He was afraid that he would be run away by Yelu Hongji if he went too late. Big credit?
In fact, Zhao Yingce's worries were unnecessary. Yelu Hongji didn't want to run away at all. He ignored Yelu Zongbao's strong opposition and decided to stick to Shunzhou City and wait for the Liao army from all over the country to come to rescue.

This battle has completely crushed Yelu Hongji's ambitions, and now he only wants to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, as long as he can be released, he can agree to any conditions.

When Zhao Yingce came to the city of Shunzhou, the peace envoy sent by Yelu Hongji had already arrived.

At this time, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom no longer had the arrogance he had before, and greeted Zhao Yingce politely.

Zhao Yingce looked at him jokingly: "My lord remembers that you said in Bianjing back then that I was waiting to perish in Song Dynasty. What's the reason for being arrogant and respectful now?"

The envoy lowered his head in embarrassment, and said after a long while: "His Royal Highness, the Song Dynasty indeed has the advantage now, but the Liao Kingdom has hundreds of thousands of armors. If they really fight for their lives, it will be of no benefit to both parties. It is not as good as the Song and Liao families." Form an alliance of brothers again, let's make peace?"

Qin Hao sarcastically said: "So the Liao Kingdom is willing to donate new year coins to Da Song Jin? Call Da Song his elder brother in the future? And return it to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures?"

The envoy exclaimed, "This is impossible!"

Qin Hao sneered: "When the Liao Kingdom was strong and prosperous, that's how it treated the Song Dynasty. Now it's just treating him in the same way. If you don't agree, we will continue to fight. There is nothing to talk about! "

Zhao Yingce also slammed the table and shouted: "Yes, unless the above three conditions are agreed, the king will break through Shunzhou City, capture Yelu Hongji alive, and then recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun, and go straight to the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing Destroy your Liao Kingdom!"

The envoy went back in despair.

Gu Tingye was a little unwilling: "If Yelu Hongji really agrees to these three points, are we really going to let him go?"

Zhao Yingce smiled and shook his head: "Yelu Hongji won't agree. If he agrees, his throne will be lost."

In the final analysis, the Liao Kingdom is a dynasty established by nomads. It is their inherent characteristic that the nomads worship the strong. Once Yelu Hongji signs such a treaty that humiliates the country, the ruling class of the Liao Kingdom will definitely re-elect other royal families to become the new ones. emperor.

Yelu Hongji was also furious when he heard the news brought back by the envoy. He knew that the Song Dynasty had no "sincerity" for peace talks, so he called Yelu Zongbao over.

"You lead a team of leather warriors out of the siege, and order the Liao troops from all walks of life to come for reinforcements. You must be quick! The widow is counting on you."

That night, Yelu Zongbao led thousands of Pishi troops to break through the encirclement of the Song army.

Zhao Yingce looked at Yelu Zongbao's bravery as if he had entered the land of no one in the distance, and not only sighed: "He is really a tiger general."

Neither Qin Hao nor Gu Tingye chased after them. Their target was Yelu Hongji, and Yelu Zongbao actually reduced the chance of Yelu Hongji escaping.

A few days later, the Song army began to attack the city. Qin Hao's engineering team played a role again, digging pits, laying mines, igniting, and escaping. With the experience of last time, the actions of the engineering team became smoother.

The soldiers of the Liao army on the top of the city thought they had repelled the attack of the Song army, and were about to cheer when they felt their feet tremble.

"The earth dragon turns over, and the earth dragon turns over again!"

With a bang, a city wall collapsed directly. Shunzhou City was not as strong as Youzhou City. A wall collapsed in one fell swoop, causing countless casualties to the Liao army.

In the sky full of smoke and dust, Qin Hao and Gu Tingye led the soldiers of the Song Army into the city, and the battle continued until late at night.

Yelu Hongji tried to lead the Pishi army to break out of the siege several times, but all ended in failure. He had no choice but to hide in the Shuncheng government office for the last stubborn resistance.

At this time, he regretted very much why he didn't break out with Yelu Zongbao.

"Damn, let me watch all the archers. If anyone shoots Yelu Hongji, let's see how I deal with him!"

Outside Shunzhou Yamen, the besieging general of the Song army shouted.

A living Yelu Hongji is completely different from a dead Yelu Hongji. If the emperor of the Liao Kingdom could be captured alive and sent to Bianjing as a captive, what an honor would that be?

At that time, those of them who participated in the battle will have rewards.

Therefore, compared with the Liao soldiers, the soldiers of the Song Army actually cared more about Yelu Hongji's life and death. They would avoid the Zhengya when they shot arrows, for fear of shooting Yelu Hongji to death.

Soon the main entrance of the yamen was smashed by a car crash, and the Liao soldiers guarding the door were quickly stabbed into a hornet's nest. With the influx of Song soldiers, all the stubborn Liao soldiers in the yamen were cleaned up.

Qin Hao and Gu Tingye came to the gate of Zhengya with corpses all over the floor.

Suddenly the door was pushed open from the inside.

Yelu Hongji came out under the protection of only a dozen or so leather warriors left.

"I want to see you, Prince Huan!"

To Qin Hao's surprise, Yelu Hongji could speak Chinese, and he looked very standard.

Qin Hao smiled kindly: "Of course there is no problem, but if those people around you are arrested without a fight, you will be able to see His Highness Prince Huan in a while."

Yelu Hongji waved his hands sadly, signaling them to put down their weapons.

Gu Tingye waved his hand, and Song soldiers immediately tied them up.

Yelu Hongji struggled and said: "The widow is the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, you can't treat me like this!"

Qin Hao walked up to Yelu Hongji and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, we won't hurt you. We tied you up because we were afraid that you would harm yourself. Let's go, His Royal Highness Huan is still waiting."

At this moment in the military camp outside the city, Zhao Yingce was pacing back and forth when he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates: "His Royal Highness Prince Huan, Marquis of Jinghai and Marquis of Ningyuan have captured Yelu Hongji alive, and they have already arrived outside the camp gate."

"Haha~~~" Zhao Yingce laughed wildly, this is the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and he was really captured alive!

In the tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Yingce went around several times for Yelu Hongji, and then he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked as if nothing had happened.

"You are Yelu Hongji?"

Yelu Hongji took advantage of his face and said: "The widow is the emperor of the Liao Kingdom."

As if admiring a work of art, Zhao Yingce waved his hands at the soldiers: "Come here, let's untie and prepare wine and food. Today, the king will have a drink with the king of Liao."

Yelu Hongji was still waiting to refute that he was an emperor, not a king, but the aroma of the food and wine made him no longer want to argue. It had been a day and a night, and he didn't have a good meal.

When Yelu Hongji was full, Zhao Yingce patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It seems that the king of Liao Kingdom still likes the customs and customs of the Song Dynasty very much. Not only can he speak Chinese, but he also likes Han food so much. Since In this way, this king will send you back to Bianjing, let you have a good experience of Bianjing's scenery, and the alliance between the Song and Liao brothers is not in vain."

Yelu Hongji was shocked, he surrendered to save his life, to delay time, let Yelu Zongbao bring someone to rescue him, if he was sent back to Bianjing, everything would be over.

"I, I won't go to Bianjing, you send me back to Shangjing, I can satisfy you with anything."

Zhao Yingce sneered for a while: "That's up to you."
