On the five-mile journey, the horses galloped fast and it took less than a quarter of an hour to arrive. However, today's five-mile journey suddenly became extremely long.
The four Khitan cavalry that were outflanking were driven into panic by the explosion, while the speed of the other six Khitan cavalry that followed and chased them was not greatly affected.
Because there was enough distance between each team, only a very small number of horses among the six teams were frightened and lost control.
When they found that their mounts were out of control, the Khitan warriors immediately chose to change mounts as soon as they had time. First they jumped onto their spare mounts, and then swung their swords at the butt of the out-of-control horses.
A cut on the buttocks will not kill the war horse, but it can make it temporarily forget the fear caused by the explosion under the stimulation of severe pain.
The instinct of wild animals after being injured is to flee for their lives together with the group. When they feel the wound is bleeding, the frightened horse will not rush around anymore, but will try to keep up with the group driven by instinct.
"Prepare grenades, throw them behind you!" Han Qing ordered without hesitation when he realized that the wolf rider behind him was getting closer and closer.
More than a dozen grenades tied with ropes were ignited again by Wu Mata and others and then thrown towards the pursuers. In an instant, the pursuers were exploded with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
A gap of twenty paces wide was immediately blasted directly in front of the pursuing troops. Four or five war horses, together with the Khitan warriors on their backs, were directly overturned by grenades. Hundreds of war horses around were affected.
Rampage like crazy.
However, there were too many pursuers, and the distance between the teams was far enough.
The Khitan wolf cavalry that was summoned by the grenade was completely paralyzed, but the other five wolf cavalry were still chasing after it with red eyes.
"Throw again, on the left, right, and behind each other!" Finding that the grenade did not have the expected effect, Han Qing decisively ordered to increase the amount.
"Yes!" Wu You and others agreed in unison, and then threw more than thirty grenades in two rounds toward the left and right rear of the team.
Everyone threw the grenades tied with ropes to the side and rear, while the Khitan warriors rode forward to chase. It seemed that it was the Khitan warriors who were taking the initiative to get under the grenade.
In an instant, more than twenty horses, together with the owners on their backs, were sent to the west. The pursuer's team collapsed, leaving two huge gaps.
Hundreds of frightened horses were running around, forcing Xiao Dalin and Liu Siduan to order the team to stop chasing Han Qing and restore order.
"The man surnamed Han is indeed as sinister as the legend says!" Although he urgently needed to show his loyalty to the Emperor of Liao, Liu Siduan still wanted to give up when the losses were close to the edge of his tolerance. While his brothers calmed down the frightened horses and organized the team,
Taking the opportunity, he quietly walked up to Xiao Dalin and complained tentatively, "If this continues, I'm afraid even if I catch the man named Han, I won't have many brothers left under my command."
"If we can't catch him, all our brothers will die in vain today. You and I will also become the laughing stock of our colleagues!" Xiao Dalin responded loudly with a livid face.
"The Queen Mother's counterintuitive plan has taken effect, and now everyone in the Song Dynasty has determined that he is the reincarnation of the calamist." Liu Siduan hit a nail in the face, but he was not discouraged. He thought for a while and continued to whisper, "Emperor of the Song Dynasty,
I also hated him very much. Even if he fled back to the south bank of the Yellow River..."
"I know that there is an eunuch from the Imperial City Division beside you." Xiao Dalin rolled his eyelids and said angrily, "I also know that you want to give up, and then you expect the Song Emperor to get rid of him. Stop dreaming, Song
The emperor is a hypocrite, he only dares to play tricks, he never dares to take the risk of causing Han Baogui to rebel, and openly attacks him!"
"Yes, I reported it to the Holy Majesty and the Queen Mother." Liu Siduan immediately stopped talking about Han Qing and explained to Xiao Dalin with a red face, "When the people from the Imperial City Department first contacted me, I reported to the Holy Majesty.
I reported it to the Queen Mother. If the Chief Manager doesn’t believe it, he can ask the Queen Mother later.”
"The Queen Mother told me about this!" Xiao Dalin rolled his eyelids again, with a bit of arrogance in his eyes.
Liu Siduan was Yelu Longxu's son-in-law, but he was also a Han. Even if he was favored, he would not be able to enter the ruling core of Daliao.
But he is a genuine descendant of the Xiao family.
"Then, then..." Liu Siduan felt very inferior after being seen, and murmured not knowing what to say.
"Han came in a hurry and couldn't bring too many fire and thunder bombs. Moreover, he had already used some of them when he intercepted and killed Zhang Tingyu. Just now, in order to get rid of his pursuers, he used them four more times, nearly eighty times.
Pieces!" Thinking of Liu Siduan's always loyalty to the court, Xiao Dalin thought for a while and added in a deep voice. "Next, we will use wheel tactics and send troops to approach him in turn, forcing him to consume fire and thunder bombs. As long as
The fire bombs and miscellaneous mechanisms in his hands were exhausted. When the brothers rushed forward, even one person and one fist could beat him to death!"
"Understood!" Liu Siduan didn't have the courage to refute, so he lowered his head and agreed softly.
"I have used a flying eagle to send a message to Yelu Longxing, asking him to send heavy troops to block it along the Yellow River. Even if the two of us are unable to catch up with the man named Han, he will run into the trap laid by Yelu Long!"
Realizing that Liu Siduan was still not energetic enough, Xiao Dalin thought for a moment and continued to add in a low voice.
"The manager is brilliant!" Liu Siduan's eyes immediately became shiny. He smiled and held his hand to Xiao Dalin.
If after paying a huge price, Han Qing can be captured alive or killed on the north bank of the Yellow River, then all the costs will still be worth it.
Anyway, he has already paid enough. Instead of giving up halfway, it is better to go all out to achieve a perfect result.
"I came to hunt him down at all costs, not just to avenge my two cubs!" Seeing that Liu Siduan finally cheered up again, Xiao Dalin took a breath and emphasized through gritted teeth, "If he is captured alive, we can...
He took out the method of making gunpowder and more uses from his mouth. By then, no matter how strong the Song Dynasty's city is, I, the Liao Wolf Cavalry, can push it all the way to Bianliang!"
After a pause, his voice suddenly became full of temptation, "At that time, you can rely on this merit to plead for mercy in front of the Holy Emperor and the Queen Mother, and let them pardon Liu Sanxia! I can also be a middleman to bring Yelu Bage and
Liu Sanxia is back together."
"Thank you, Chief Manager!" Liu Siduan put his hand on his chest and bowed to perform the Khitan salute to Xiao Dalin.
If the Liao troops bulldozed Bianliang and captured his third brother, would the Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo and Emperor Yelu Longxu really consider their merits and pardon him?
The answer was no. Liu Siduan knew it very well, but he didn't dare to think about it in detail.
