At night, on the banks of the Lishui River, the tranquility of the Liao camp for more than ten miles was completely broken, and the blazing sounds of killing and dazzling firelights filled it, incessantly.
If you look at it from the panoramic view, you can find that the entire Liaoying camp is like a long black snake, cut off from the waist, and then gradually lit up from south to north, becoming restless, and evolving into a "candle" dragon.
Only when you are deep in the enemy's formation can you realize the scale of the camp of hundreds of thousands of troops. They rushed north for five or six miles in one breath. Looking around, there are still camps that can't be seen to the north. The Liao army's camp The fortresses are simple and loose, but as their number increases, they are still densely packed.
Fortunately, the city of Luan County on the edge of the Mishui River is obviously getting closer and closer. After all, the number of Longqi Army's horse soldiers is not enough, and it is difficult to achieve the purpose of drilling through the enemy camp. After this wave of attack, the impact of the horse army As his strength declined, Liu Chengyou decisively stopped and reorganized his formation. Many Khitan people in the north had already reacted. This was evident from the moment they encountered resistance from organized Khitan soldiers.
Liu Chengyou was still among the guards, breathing heavily. The fire was raging around him, and the rising temperature made a thin layer of sweat break out on his forehead.
Looking around, there were crowds of people, and soldiers from the enemy camp were running and shouting. This chaos made Liu Chengyou feel a little relieved. There were more than 20 camps along the way. As for how many people were killed, it was really hard to count, but it was somewhat comfortable. Pleasure. The enemy camp is finally in chaos, and your confidence is doubled, but this is not enough!
"Your Highness, we rushed too fast!" Xiang Xun was equally excited, but remained calm and continued to give Liu Chengyou advice, pointing to the northeast: "There is a 'Jin Camp' there. You can send a unit there to encourage Subdue the troops to revolt! Your Highness will lead the people to fight back. After the meeting, the infantry will gather strength again and attack the 'Yan camp'. If the Han people are completely in chaos, the Khitan army will be defeated!"
"Luo Yanyu, take your people and go straight to the northeastern 'Jin Camp'!" Without any hesitation, Liu Chengyou almost roared and called Luo Yanyu to his side and ordered.
"Follow the order!" Luo Yanxuan was not hesitant at all. He obeyed the order and galloped away with his battalion of more than 500 cavalry. Luo Yanxuan was originally a soldier, so he used his identity to encourage. The likelihood of success is high.
On Liu Chengyou's side, he also quickly led the remaining men to make a "U" turn, turned around, and attacked south, preparing to plow the middle section of the Liao camp.
...
The Chinese army's imperial camp was on the southeast side of Luan City. Yelu Ruan was sitting there in person. He was sleeping deeply and was woken up by someone. At first, he didn't take it seriously. He just thought it was the "grass bandits" from those places who were harassing him again. This kind of This was not the first time they had experienced this. He even personally led troops to conquer a larger rebel army.
But when he walked out of the military tent, climbed up to the sentry tower in the camp, and looked south, his expression became serious at a speed visible to the naked eye. Surprises are always refreshing, and the original sleepiness completely subsided.
The camp in the south was already full of fireworks, and they continued to spread to the north. Almost under Yelu Ruan's eyes, the fire gradually became soaring into the sky. Although he was frightened, it was to the point where Yelu Ruan was panicked. His His psychological quality is very good, but what really makes him angry is the chaos in the Chinese army.
It was noisy and noisy, and among the longing figures, Khitan sergeants were seen, but they were as chaotic and disorderly as headless flies. The situation in the south has not completely spread to the north, and there is already a sense of chaos here. Where is the situation?
He looks a bit like a Khitan elite.
In fact, the entire Khitan army's journey back north is very unstable. Coupled with the sudden death of the Liao Emperor, the internal fighting in the past two days has been very depressing from top to bottom. If something goes wrong, it will break out.
Not to mention night attacks.
"Command the generals to suppress all the battalions immediately and secure the central army. Anyone who dares to make any changes and disturb the morale of the army will be killed!" Regardless of anything else, Yelu Ruan directly issued a strict order in order to stabilize the imperial camp first.
There was a sergeant who sent the order and he immediately followed the order.
"Where did the enemy army come from? How many people there are? They can make such a big fuss. There must be a lot of troops!" Yelu Ruan then looked at the Khitan general who came to report the news.
When asked, the general answered simply with three words: "I don't know."
"Trash! The enemy has already stepped on his face, and he doesn't even know who the opponent is?" Yelu Ruan was angry for the first time.
Seeing King Yongkang angry, the general lowered his head.
"Immediately send an order to the other battalion officers, and each general officer will organize the officers and men on the spot to secure the camp and resist the enemy!" There was no time to argue with him. He took a deep breath and Yelu Ruan ordered again.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Yelu Anbo and his men found Yelu Ruan. His face was full of worry, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was intact.
Yelu Ruan shook his head, frowned, and was still immersed in thinking: "The number of enemy troops must be small. They dare to attack our army like this, and they have such fighting power. They are definitely not ordinary grassroots bandits. They must be elite soldiers of the Jin people!"
"Hedong Army!" At this point, the two people exclaimed at the same time: "It's the Longqi Army!"
"Didn't they withdraw? How could they attack quietly?" Yelu Anbo was stunned.
"There's no time to think about this!" Yelu Ruan said.
Yelu Anbo: "Your Majesty, we must stabilize the general's morale as soon as possible. The enemy's charge is not scary, but the chaos of the position is scary. If the camp roars, the army will be doomed!"
His words gave Yelu Ruan a warning: "If the enemy makes a surprise attack, if you want a single attack to be effective, you should attack the Chinese imperial camp directly. Why would you choose the southern camps?"
"They must have failed to find out where the Chinese army is!"
"That's not right!" A look of shock suddenly flashed across Yelu Ruan's face, and then he glared at Yelu Anbo and ordered sternly: "Personally arrange the people, send orders to the generals, and ask them to lead the people, and be on guard against the Jin people, the Yan people, especially Yelu Jieli
, let him be careful of the Yan army! There are also those Han people who are strong and strong in labor. If they dare to make any move, they will be killed directly!"
"yes!"
In a pair of pupils, the rising flames from the south flashed. Yelu Ruan's expression was so gloomy that his fingernails almost dug into his flesh. He knew that the Jin army had already harbored different ambitions, and the Yan army was unwilling to fight due to suspicion and oppression.
Stable, not to mention the Han people who were forcibly taken into slavery in each battalion. If these people took the opportunity to make noise and cooperate with the "enemy army", the consequences would be simply unimaginable.
While Yelu Ruan was issuing orders anxiously and actively responding to the situation, Liu Chengyou led the army in the south and had completely built up "momentum".
The camp roar was generated very smoothly and was completely uncontrollable. Fear, panic, and anger spread like a plague. A large number of rioters rushed around, hacking and trampling each other.
That is to say, the part in the north, close to the Chinese army's imperial camp, was stabilized by Yelu Ruan's timely and powerful measures. But this was based on a large number of internal suppression and killings, and the spirit of all the Khitan people had completely collapsed. Straight, just one "touch" that would cause it to break.
During this process, the Khitan cavalry also lost their combat effectiveness. There were two horse camps and they dispersed. The horses fled in all directions and charged randomly. The people were in chaos, not to mention the animals.
