"Pass my general order to bring the crossbow chariot over quickly. Bring Xiao Pai, Punuli, Yang Ali, and all the soldiers and horses over. I will not give up until I cut off the head of the man named Han today!" North Bank of the Yellow River, Daliao
The commander of the cavalry army, Yelv Keli, was waving a steel knife and was furious.
As a veteran of hundreds of battles, he has never suffered losses on the battlefield in his life. However, this is the first time he has suffered losses for being so cowardly as today.
The Song army on the warship first used the explosive crossbow gun, killing hundreds of his brothers. After picking up the people, they refused to retreat immediately. Instead, they deployed five large warships with hundreds of materials and four
The sentry ship built a massive "ship wall" near the Jian Bridge.
The Liao warriors who were ordered to dismount and fight on foot were hit by a hail of arrows before they could rush to the Jian Bridge. The Song army on the "ship wall", condescending, shot arrows accurately and quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were about to attack again.
More than forty Liao warriors were turned into corpses.
The rest of the Liao warriors refused to die in vain, and turned around and retreated one after another. After they were out of the effective shooting range of their bows and arrows, several actors suddenly appeared on the "ship wall", playing, singing, and dancing.
The lyrics were sung in the dialect of Jingdong East Road, which I couldn't quite understand in the Yelu class. However, he and the Khitan warriors under his command could clearly see how the actors were dressed.
One of the ugly-looking middle-aged male actors was obviously wearing the robes of the Liao Emperor, a solid Xue Gun crown on his head, a seamed red robe, a rhinoceros leather jade belt at his waist, and leggings.
There is also a middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a red handkerchief, a red robe, a pair of pointed golden deerskin boots, and a jade pendant hanging from her waist. Any Khitan person who sees this will know that this woman is pretending to be the Queen of the Liao Dynasty.
As soon as the middle-aged emperor appeared on the stage, he immediately screamed and fell to the ground and died. Immediately afterwards, a handsome man dressed as a Hanchen of Nanyuan dragged his body aside, and then sang a few lines to the queen,
He picked up the queen and got on the dragon bed...
The plot is extremely simple, with a total of four lines of lyrics and five or six actions, but it depicts a public case that has been rumored among the people of the Liao Dynasty for many years in a convincing manner.
That is to say, Emperor Yelu Xian of Tianzan of the Liao Kingdom was murdered by the joint efforts of Queen Xiao Chuo and her lover Han Kuangsi. The current emperor Yelu Longxu is actually Han Kuangsi's descendant.
Although the rumors were absurd, they could not withstand any scrutiny. However, all the Liao soldiers who had withdrawn suddenly became angry and roared and threw themselves at the ship wall without waiting for anyone's instructions.
This time, Song Jun was fooled.
The Song army on the "ship wall" once again opened their bows and fired arrows from a high position. In the blink of an eye, the Jian Bridge was filled with corpses.
The Liao warriors, who did not carry any shields, suffered heavy losses. After clearing their minds, they retreated in confusion again.
However, the Song army on the ship wall refused to retreat. They mobilized their crossbows and fired at the gathering place of the warriors, blasting the Liao warriors who had retreated hastily into a bloody mess!
Just after the fight, he suffered two big losses in succession. How could Yelu class swallow such a sigh of relief? Standing outside the range of the crossbow, he successively ordered to adjust the equipment and men, vowing to sworn to fight with Han.
"Su Wen, Zhou Xinzu, are there any fires rising on the south bank? Go to a higher place and see clearly what Ma Qiushi is doing over there?" Xiao Moke, deputy general manager of the Pedestrian Department in the south of Daliao, was also so angry that he waved his arms.
, constantly urging his subordinates to check the movements on the south bank.
As early as a quarter of an hour ago, he heard the horn sound from the south bank and saw the soldiers and horses of the Maitreya Sect emerging from the dense forest and charging toward the back door of the water village with great momentum.
It stands to reason that by now, the "rebels" of the Maitreya Sect should have invaded Han Qing's lair and started setting fire to the food, grass and supplies in the camp. Why haven't you seen the fire coming from the direction of the water village?
"Yes, steward!" The two assassins whose names were called shook their heads and agreed in unison, then quickly rushed towards the nearby mound.
They were also very surprised in their hearts, why has there been no good news from the Maitreya Sect?
Logically speaking, after Han Qing led his soldiers to rescue the people, the water village should be very empty.
Thousands of Maitreya believers suddenly appeared on the south bank. Even if they could not rush into the water village quickly, they could at least make the Song army chaotic because they were attacked from both sides.
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo --" before the two of them rushed to the heights, there was suddenly another continuous sound of drawing horns from the south bank of the Yellow River. There was no tension at all, but it was vague and full of excitement.
The taste of joy.
"What is that?" Several of the assassins set up a pavilion with their hands and stood on tiptoes to look towards the south bank. Then, they loudly exclaimed, "Why don't you fight? What are the people named Ma doing? Maitreya Cult, Maitreya Cult.
I taught you how to recognize the flag, why did they all fall down!"
"Cavalry, why are there cavalry on the south bank?"
"The Song army has hidden cavalry on the south bank, and the people of the Maitreya Sect are running for their lives!"
"They lost the fight, they actually lost the fight!"
…
Shouts of exclamation arose one after another, and every assassin of the Liao Kingdom who looked southward rubbed his eyes desperately.
Just now, under the orders of Xiao Moke, they attacked the ferry with the cavalry and hunted down and massacred the people of Song Dynasty. None of them bothered to take a closer look at the situation on the south bank.
At this moment, they suddenly discovered that in less than half a stick of incense, the Maitreya Cult had been killed and was completely defeated. None of them could believe that what they saw was the truth.
"Impossible, impossible!" The person who couldn't accept the reality the most was Xiao Moke, the deputy general manager of the Pedestrian Department of Daliao South. When he saw this person, he rushed forward a few steps and suddenly realized that he might have rushed into the crossbow.
range, quickly turned around and retreated.
Immediately, the man turned around again and rushed to the river bank, turned around and turned back again. After struggling three times, he finally found a horse that had just calmed down. He climbed onto the saddle without any explanation and looked southward.
The battle situation on the south bank of the Yellow River has become very clear. The Maitreya believers who have lost their fighting spirit are fleeing for their lives in a chaotic manner, getting further and further away from the water village.
However, according to Xiao Moke's plan, the Song Army's water stronghold that should have been burned to the ground by a fire at this moment was safe and sound. Dozens of Song Army elites riding war horses continued to attack together, driving away the Maitreya believers more and more.
Far, farther and farther.
"Damn Han thief, he actually ambushed a cavalry in the water stronghold!" Xiao Moke's body shook, and his eyesight turned black.
However, his heart was filled with clarity.
The cunning Han Qing figured out his plan again and ambush an elite cavalry team in the water stronghold in advance.
Although the Maitreya followers under the command of "Buddha" Ma Qiushi were large in number, they had no combat experience and lacked training against cavalry.
Suddenly, he was attacked head-on by an elite cavalry force. It would be strange if he didn't collapse!
"General Manager, General Manager, Ma Qiushi seems to have been caught. The subordinates saw his favorite red robe!" As if worried that Xiao Moke's blow was not heavy enough, the assassin Su Wen suddenly rushed to his horse.
, reported in a hoarse voice.
"Where? Where is that idiot?" Xiao Moke's body swayed again. Thanks to the support of Su Wen and Zhou Xinzu, he did not fall off the horse.
"There, there!" Su Wen held Xiao Moke's thigh with one hand and pointed the other hand towards the south bank, lest Xiao Moke could not see clearly.
Forcibly calming his mind, Xiao Moke took a deep breath. Sure enough, he saw a red figure being escorted to the river bank, jumping towards the north bank like a legendary ghost.
"Help me go down!" Gritting his teeth and swallowing the old blood that rushed to his throat, Xiao Moke murmured. "Help me go to Yelu's class. Today, today I want to go with him to take, take the surname.
Han’s head, sacrifice, to pay homage to the brothers who died in the battle!”
The first and second links of the chain plan all failed. In the third link, Xiao Moke couldn't believe that he could still succeed.
Therefore, he will work with Yelu Keli to organize people to launch a final attack on the "Ship Wall" and use Han Qing's blood to wash away his shame.
If it fails, use your own blood.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo could could be heard from the north.
After learning that Yelu had suffered a heavy loss in his class, Yelu Longxu, the head coach of the Khitan East Route Army, was worried that he would make a foolish choice in desperation, so he led his direct descendants to the front line in person.
The morale of the cavalry under Yelu Keli and the governors under Xiao Moke was immediately encouraged. They cursed and began to regroup. As soon as the commander gave the order, they acted as vanguards and went to fight the Song army on the wall of the ship.
Life and death.
However, Han Qing did not give them a chance to fight.
Discovering the main force of the Khitan East Route Army, they also swarmed towards the dock. Han Qing decisively ordered people to pull up the anchor and put down the oars.
Driven by both sails and oars, the warship slowly and steadily left the Jian Bridge. Before Yelu Longxu could adjust his deployment, the warship was three feet away from the ferry on the north bank.
The distance of three feet is enough for the Khitan soldiers to look at the river and sigh.
Han Qing, however, was still not satisfied, so he pulled out the troupe he had secretly prepared and performed a twist of "Han Kuang Si kills the king after stealing" for Yelu Longxu, and then calmly led the fleet back to the water village.
As for the Liao East Route Army, there were a few people who, after watching the excerpts, believed that Han Kuangsi and Empress Dowager Xiao really murdered the former emperor of Liao, but Han Qing had no time to take care of it.
Anyway, Daliao was definitely not monolithic. Those who were secretly dissatisfied with the emperor lacked an excuse to rebel.
But now, excuses are falling from the sky, it depends on whether they have the courage to take advantage of them!
Half an hour later, Han Qing's flagship docked at the dock in the water village. Already, Youwu and a group of veterans of the Zhenrong Army were waiting aside with admiration. Without waiting for him to ask, he reported loudly.
"As expected, the Khitan dog thieves arranged for a group of madmen from the Maitreya religion to rob the camp. Following your instructions, we gave them a head-on sap and captured their leader alive on the spot.
Kill the rest of the congregation and flee!"
"It's because you fought so well that Han didn't have any worries at all!" Han Qing smiled and waved his hands modestly, "I was on the boat and heard the horn sound of the Maitreya Cult. However, I know that they are definitely not under the jurisdiction of Wudu.
opponent!"
"I'm going to punish you, I'm going to punish you. The credit belongs to you. General, I just acted according to your plan. But I don't dare to take the credit." Wu Mata, who was fearless in front of the two armies, turned red at this moment.
While retreating, he waved his hands repeatedly.
"It's useless to go into the Chinese army's tent and say that I want credit. No matter how great my credit is, I can't be promoted to the transfer officer this year, let alone be ordered to manage a side!" Han Qing reached out and took Wu You's arm, laughing.
Supplement.
Immediately, he quickly looked around and asked in a low voice, "Have everyone else come back? How are the casualties among the brothers? What about the people, how many casualties are there?"
"Zhang Fan and Li Yu have already brought the first group of people ashore. They should be settling down the people at this moment to prevent them from accidentally crashing into the military camp." Wu You had long been accustomed to Han Qing's frankness. He thought about it and responded seriously.
, "The rest of the people are still screening the people on the river to prevent there are still Khitan craftsmen mixed in among the people."
"The casualties among the brothers should not be large. According to Zhang Fan, when the Khitan Xizuo stormed to seize the ship, several were killed by Xizuo because they did not have time to jump into the river. The rest who jumped into the Yellow River were quickly killed by our own
The boat was rescued."
After thinking for a while, he added in a low voice, "There should be some casualties among the people, mainly those killed by Khitan Xizuo when they were robbing the ship. As for the people who fell into the water and died, there shouldn't be many. There is no need to go too far in the punishment.
Please be patient, if we don’t send a boat to pick them up, I’m afraid these people will be killed by the Khitans!”
"Well -" Han Qing pondered and nodded slightly.
Although he knew that what Wu You said was true. With the cruelty of the Khitan people, if he did not send a boat to cross the river today, I am afraid that all the people who were driven to the ferry would die in a massacre.
However, when he thought about the many people who fell into the water and died because of his own strategy, he still felt heavy in his heart and even had some trouble breathing.
"It doesn't have to be this way when it comes to punishment. No one can do it better than you. The brothers know this, and the rescued people must also know it!" Wu You clearly felt the change in Han Qing's mood. After thinking about it, he said quietly
Comforting, "If it were another senior official, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the guts to send a boat to rescue people. Even if they dared to send it, the final result would probably be that the people were not rescued and the boat was lost again!"
"You can't say that. If it were Ding Shuzhi, he might be able to come up with a more comprehensive solution!" Knowing that Wu was out of good intentions, Han Qing grinned, sighed and shook his head. "Don't mention this matter anymore.
After the prisoners are screened, the assassins who have blood debts on their hands will be taken directly to the shipwreck and beheaded to pay homage to the people's spirits in heaven!"
"Don't worry about the punishment, I'll leave this matter to my subordinates!" Wu You didn't even think about it, so he stood solemnly and held his hands.
After the words fell, he suddenly smiled again, "Not to mention the punishment, I almost forgot. Yuan Kun, Yuan Kun sent a sentry ship to send back a prisoner on a special trip. He said he was from the Southern Division of the Liao Kingdom. What was his name?
Ma Zhu, Ma Zhu Lege. The guy was fed a full stomach of Yellow River water. He did it himself without waiting for interrogation. He said he had important information and hoped to exchange for his own life. Yuan Kun was afraid of delaying the matter, so he specially arranged for someone to advance
