In the main hall of Hujiazhuang, the owner of Hujiazhuang, who could not be called an old lady, brought his children and the leaders of the villagers to express their gratitude for the great kindness.
Li Yan clasped his fists and said, "If we see injustice on the road, we draw our swords to help. How can we allow the Khitan thieves to wreak havoc on our land of Han people this time?"
The owner of Huzhuang looked over with bright eyes and expectantly: "I have heard for a long time that Lin Yiyong led the township army in Hebei to severely defeat the Liao invaders and increase the prestige of our country. Today's meeting is far more famous than the famous one. I wonder if the township army has also come to Shandong?"
Li Yan said: "After the Xiangzhou Corps regained Xiongzhou, they just conquered Bazhou and Mozhou, and are temporarily unable to enter Shandong in a large scale."
Hujiazhuang's eyes suddenly widened.
The news they heard so far was that the Rural Corps had repeatedly repelled the Liao offensive in Cangzhou. At first, they couldn't believe it. It was only after a small number of Liao soldiers who had their hands cut off that they ran to Shandong. After several confirmations, they learned that the Hebei massacre
There are actually such a brave army on the ground.
This is already shocking enough, and now even Bazhou and Mozhou are hearing it, it is shocking.
It’s too fierce!
But after being excited, the Hu family still couldn't hide their disappointment. Compared to the conquest of the prefectures and counties in Hebei, they naturally hoped that this man would lead the township army to go south to Shandong and expel the Liao army. The owner of Hu Village said again: "I don't know.
After the township corps has secured the border, can it rush to our aid in Shandong?"
Li Yandao: "I do have this plan. I have gathered troops in Cangzhou and are ready to go south at any time to give a head-on blow to the Liao army that is ravaging Shandong!"
Master Hu was immediately overjoyed: "That's great! That's great!"
Li Yan continued: "But this move still requires your help to defeat the Liao army together!"
The leader of the Hu village hurriedly said: "To be honest with Lin Yiyong, everyone in my Hu family is also determined to kill the enemy and be loyal to the Song Dynasty. However, the Liao people are so arrogant that we, the brave people, cannot compete with them head-on, so we can only defend the stronghold...
...But please rest assured Lin Yiyong, as long as the township corps is willing to come, we will provide all the weapons, food and grass, no questions asked!"
As soon as this statement came out, most of Hu's family members in the hall nodded in agreement, but a few people felt ashamed, especially Hu Cheng's face turned red, and he quickly covered his sister's mouth with his hands and eyes.
Li Yan looked at the sincere Hu Village Master without any dodge, and his selfish nature was clearly exposed in his words.
The rural soldiers formed a regiment to fight against the Liao army. They not only protected their hometown, but also shouldered the responsibility of the entire Hebei. Look at the lowest group of rural people, Baoding, and look at manor houses like Hujiazhuang. They are usually affected by the common people.
In order to provide support, he should fight with the Liao people at critical moments, but in the end he wanted others to risk their lives to protect themselves. This is really a standard characteristic of the landlord class.
Of course, what Li Yan said to Lu Junyi before was that being powerful in these places was not a good thing. He was willing to come to the rescue because now that the enemy was attacking, they should be unanimous in dealing with the outside world, so he was not angry, but just asked: "Are the Liao people strong?
?”
Master Hu's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood that he wanted to continue mobilizing. He hurriedly smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Yiyong's martial arts are world-class. Naturally, he doesn't think so of the Liao people, but in our eyes, he is really too strong!"
Li Yan shook his head: "War is never a matter of one person, and even the most powerful martial arts cannot run rampant in the military formation. The Liao people have archers and crossbowmen, and they can also use swords and shields to suppress them in close combat, which is enough for any strong person to avoid their edge, but
Just now I dared to charge into battle alone, why? Because the Liao army has poor military discipline and is actually very weak!"
"You have just seen with your own eyes that there are three thousand Liao troops outside the village. If the military discipline is not broken, even if I join the central army and kill the Liao general, they will not be defeated directly. But what is the reality? They are wolves.
They rushed forward and were almost defeated!"
"A hundred years of peace destroyed the Northern Army of the Song Dynasty, and the military strength of the Liao people also declined very seriously. However, Emperor Tianzuo didn't know it, and he attacked in three directions."
"In the eyes of the people of Hebei who fought on the front line with the Liao army, this was a foolish move to achieve great success. With this stupid Liao Emperor, the Liao army was not far away from a disastrous defeat..."
"Do you know Yang Guang?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone in Hujiazhuang nodded.
Li Yan continued: "Just imagine when Yang Guang's army of one million attacked Goguryeo. As far as Goguryeo was concerned, when you heard that the Sui Dynasty had raised an army of one million to attack, were you also scared?"
"But what's the reality? It was an absolutely wrong dispatch of troops, which brought the powerful Sui Dynasty into the abyss of national subjugation. An emperor who is very fond of achievements but also has great ambitions and talents is fatal to the country!"
"And how similar is the current Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty?"
There may not be much culture in Hujiazhuang. If you talk about an unpopular historical figure, I really don’t understand it, but Yang Guang’s three expeditions to Goguryeo are so famous. In addition, I just saw Li Yan single-handedly defeat the Liao army of three thousand.
The crowd dispersed and could not help but cheer up.
Hu Cheng took advantage of the situation and shouted: "What Lin Yiyong said is absolutely true! We don't have to be afraid, the Liao people are not that strong!"
The little girl next to him no longer had her mouth covered, waving her two knives, jumping up and down, and yelling fiercely: "Kill the Liao dog! Kill the Liao dog!"
Worry flashed in the eyes of Master Hu, but he could only say: "What Lin Yiyong said makes sense..."
In fact, there must be some truth to what Li Yan said, but it is really not right.
The war situation is changing rapidly. It is certainly a foolish act for Yang Guang to mobilize millions of troops to attack Goguryeo. But if the Sui Emperor had not issued the absurd order "No more fighting is allowed until the enemy surrenders", the first attack on Goguryeo would have been really...
After defeating them, the Sui Dynasty turned in another direction...
Of course, with Yang Guang's character, it is normal for the imperial commander to do such ridiculous things during a personal expedition, but people's hearts are the most unpredictable. If he suddenly becomes wiser, who can say for sure?
The same is true for Emperor Tian Zuo. Regardless of how stupid he is now, if he wins in the end, he will be brave enough to take risks, be bold and careful, and be a genius. Every step of his military deployment will be praised by future generations.
Go to hell!
Therefore, when Li Yan told his men in Hebei, he would never say that Emperor Tian Zuo was very clever. Instead, he warned them not to be arrogant because the Liao army would counterattack at any time. For this group of Shandong people who were afraid of the Liao army's offensive, he ordered Tian Zuo to
The emperor compared it to Yang Guang, as if the Liao Kingdom was about to fall.
With the performance of the rural corps, coupled with his actual performance of just beheading generals and capturing the flag, the morale of the Hu family suddenly became different. Self-confidence returned slightly, and more people stood in the main combatant team like Hu Cheng.
If they can win, who would want to be surrounded by people in a fortress like a shrinking tortoise?
Li Yan asked again: "Who is leading the Liao army attacking Shandong this time?"
The owner of Huzhuang hurriedly said: "I heard that the commander's name is Yelv Dezhong. He is the younger brother of Emperor Liao. He is both civil and military, brave and good at fighting. He has Jiuyao generals under his command, and they all have bravery that no man can match!"
Hearing his father's intention, Hu Cheng hurriedly laughed and said: "Now there are only eight people left. Lin Yiyong just killed one of them by seizing the flag and killing one of them as if they were searching for something!"
"Haha! Yes, yes!"
Everyone in the Hu family in the main hall burst into laughter, and Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Sure enough, it is Yelu Dezhong..."
Although I don't know if Wu Yanguang, the first warrior of the Liao Kingdom, is assisting him now, Yelu Dezhong is not easy to deal with, and the remaining eight generals under his command are even more worthy of solemnity.
Ji'er Fulang's physical fitness is already quite strong. He wields the more than 60 kilograms of golden moon ax with ease. He is worthy of being a fierce general who can defeat the Song army in the original plot. Corresponding to the Liangshan hero, he actually has Tiangang-level combat power, but in
In his eyes, his skills were too poor.
Among the fighting generals, especially those on horseback, the shortcomings are magnified. The skill of movement is really crucial. The slightest difference can make the difference of a thousand miles, and a single blow can determine the difference between victory and defeat.
But the opponent's energy exploded, and he fought Jiuhe forcefully.
It was just a one-on-one challenge, but if the other eight generals surrounded him and used his energy to drain him of his strength, then he would probably have to rely on the lion and the horse to break through the encirclement.
"It's a pity that I haven't mastered the method of observing qi. Otherwise, I should be able to find the weakness of qi."
"It would be great if Shishi was here. Her idea of the Vajra Indestructible Buddha is actually more sensitive to the causal energy..."
"Huh?"
Li Yan suddenly thought of two other Buddhist concepts he had practiced along the way.
By visualizing the Victorious Buddha and the Buddha's Dharmakaya, he could also see the good and bad fortunes, which in a sense was also a way to observe Qi.
It happened that the owner of Huzhuang changed his expression when he saw the rising desire to fight, and hurriedly said: "Lin Yiyong must be tired too. It's getting late now, why don't you stay and rest first?"
"good!"
Li Yan nodded, stood up, and came to the guest room.
When he was alone, he sat at the table, slowly closed his eyes, and the [Thought Palace] began to replay the confrontation he had just had with Jier Fulang.
The two rays of light restored every detail, and then the two giant Buddhas, whose specific outlines could not be seen clearly, slowly emerged with a flash of spiritual light.
Suddenly, he had an idea and found a way to kill the enemy quickly.
The Qi of the light people are intertwined and consume each other. One party is exhausted and has no protection anymore, and is quickly terminated by the other party.
"It turns out that the normal way is to consume energy against each other, instead of me just breaking up the opponent's energy..."
"That's no wonder!"
Li Yan was stunned.
In the original work, the heroes of Liangshan attacked the Liao Kingdom, conquered Wang Qing, and conquered Tianhu. There were many 108 generals. When they conquered Fangla, they died in batches. In the end, only one-third of the troops were left when they returned to the court.
He had guessed before, but now he was absolutely sure that in the first three conquests, most of the heroes competed with the enemy's generals who had the same energy and energy to compete with each other to see who could survive.
As a result, the heroes of Liangshan were indeed the toughest at that stage. They killed the Liao people and the uprising armies from all over the country without leaving a single piece of armor behind. However, no matter how tough they were, they could not withstand such attrition. When Fangla was conquered, his energy and protection were no longer available, and Fang La's subordinates were also fierce generals.
Ruyun, and the South is not acclimatized to the climate, so it is normal for a large number of people to die in battle.
Specific to the confrontation just now, he could actually directly use his own energy to compete with Zhier Fulang's energy. He could stab the opponent to death with one shot in a horse fight. This was certainly not worth it, but Li Yan had already felt at ease.
Because he found a way, plus he had 40 Luck points, even if he was really surrounded by a group of Liao generals, he could still kill them and make them lose their armor.
The strength of Qi is the result of the flash of spiritual light from the Victorious Buddha, followed closely by the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, who also has a flash of spiritual light.
This time the light people changed, and their respective teams appeared. After one of them fell, the morale of the army behind him also dropped drastically, and he was killed and lost his armor.
"Everything has its pros and cons. When you enjoy the protection brought by Qi, you have to pay a price."
"If a powerful general dies, it will cause a serious blow to the entire army. The Liao army just dispersed quickly, which is the backlash."
"If the powerful generals form a large formation to carry the country's destiny, it will have a serious impact on the rise and fall of the entire country. Once the large formation is broken, the country will be completely destroyed!"
Combined with the fact that the Taiyi Huntian Xiang Formation was broken in the original plot, and the Liao Kingdom surrendered directly, just like Fulang was killed and the Liao army collapsed, Li Yan gained a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of Qi.
"If this is the case, then there will be new tactics to fight against the Liao army in Shandong..."
While I was thinking about it, a little head sneaked out from the door and looked at me.
Li Yan smiled slightly: "Come out!"
The little head suddenly shrank back, and then soon, a very energetic little girl with a double bun came in.
Hu Sanniang, the youngest among the one hundred and eight generals, came to the front and clasped her fists playfully: "Lin Yiyong! I want to help you convince your father to go out and kill Liao Gou!"
