Yang Yishan, the leader of the bandits in the Northwest Mountains, was very angry. He didn't look for anyone to provoke anyone, but unexpected disasters fell from the sky. Before, when he was watching the smoke billowing from the south on the top of the mountain, his right eyelid twitched. He always felt that he didn't know what was going on in the distance.
The remnants of the war will burn on his head. From the time when Zhou Guo was in rebellion in Shouzhou Prefecture, he had more than 60,000 troops, and now he is leading three to four thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people to occupy the desolate northwest mountains. He has become a frightened bird.
The more you fear, the more things come. First, a group of 5,000 Daliao wolf cavalry came from the direction of Suining County. The frightened Yang Yishan immediately sent people to guard several paths up the mountain and sent additional people for defense.
But the cavalry didn't stop for a minute. They raised up a trail of smoke and dust and rushed straight to the place filled with beacon smoke.
Before he could take a breath, a team of tens of thousands of people came from the direction of Dingzhou Prefecture. The Khitan soldiers holding scimitars casually glanced at the northwest mountains, making Yang Yishan feel cold from head to toe. A total of ten thousand people.
, no matter how many people you send to guard the mountain, you may not be able to stop the prairie wolf riders who are said to drink blood like hair.
Fortunately, this army also rushed towards the southern battlefield. The cold sweat on Yang Yishan's back had not yet dried after heaving a sigh of relief. The Daliao cavalry, which had only passed for half a day, came back to fight back. This is not surprising.
Unfortunately for him, he couldn't find the Xixia cavalry who had robbed the annual tribute, so Liao Ying Yang Lang Haili had no choice but to use his village to vent his anger.
Fifteen thousand Liao troops surrounded the northwest mountain. The Liao soldiers, who were holding back their breath, rushed forward like ants crawling on flesh. The frightened bandits did not organize any decent resistance at all.
He began to flee. Several paths up the mountain were invaded by the Liao army one after another. Seeing that his months of hard work were about to be wasted, Yang Yishan wanted to cry without tears.
Yang Yishan, who wanted to create a great cause, never imagined that his fate would be so unpredictable. That ambitious dream was shattered again and again. He himself also knew that with thousands of disabled veterans,
If you are weak, it is impossible to achieve any great achievements, but after all, this is what you need to settle down and live in, isn't it?
After a few months, they scattered gold and distributed money, and finally gathered a team of three to four thousand people. Just as they were about to move to the depths of the Taihang Mountains, they were targeted by the Liao army. Yang Yishan dared to take advantage of Zhou Shizong's defeat.
When the time came for Dazhou to rebel, he really didn't dare to resist Daliao, which had 400,000 palace troops and 1.2 million Jingzhou soldiers.
Under the desperate cover of hundreds of cronies, Yang Yishan finally fought his way out of the back mountain with only a dozen cronies and escaped. He was like a weakling who couldn't be killed and didn't know where he was going.
They rose up again. Most of the three or four thousand bandits were refugees from the Northern Han Dynasty. Haili, who was furious, ordered all the bandits who surrendered or were captured to be beheaded. The blood flowed from the northwest mountain to the foot of the mountain.
Viewed from a distance, a beautiful plum blossom blooms halfway up the white-capped northwest mountain. The beauty is shocking and desolate.
After the Liao army destroyed the bandits in the northwest mountains, not all of them returned to Dingzhou. Ten thousand infantrymen returned, and Haili led five thousand wolf cavalry southward to Taiyuan Prefecture. Logically speaking, this had crossed the bottom line of both Khan and Liao.
Even though the Liao Dynasty was the main country of the Han Dynasty, it was not yet at the point where it could march its troops unscrupulously on the Han territory.
But Haili was really mad. Killing the bandits in the northwest mountains was not enough to stop him. He took five thousand wolf cavalry and mobilized an army to Taiyuan just to ask for guilt. In fact, Haili also understood that Sigong's crime was not in the Northern Han Dynasty.
regime, but Haili was naturally not willing to carry such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
What only made him even more annoyed was that Emperor Xiao of the Han Dynasty, who was supposed to open the city gate and open the loess paved road to Qingshui Po Street to greet him in person, did not show up. What appeared in front of him was the 20,000 men from the Gyeonggi Camp with a solemn and imposing military appearance. Then
The fluttering fiery red war flag trembled loudly, like countless loud slaps on the face in the sea.
Liu Ling, the loyal king of the Han Dynasty, was fully clad in fine armor, sitting on the red horse like a ball of fire, looking at him with a cold face.
Thirty strange-looking weapons were placed in front of the two armies. Haili did not recognize them as Liu Ling's new repeating rockets equipped in the army. The carriage-like repeating rockets can fire one hundred and twenty crossbow arrows in one salvo.
Thirty rockets roaring at the same time are tantamount to a torrential rain.
Three thousand cavalry stood behind Liu Ling. The horses in the hands of the knights on horseback stood upright, like a steel jungle. The cold and faint light could shock people's souls. Four thousand archers were divided into two teams, and their feather arrows were already in their hands.
In his hand, he can fire his bow and arrow at any time. Behind the cavalry, invisible in the sea, is a square formation composed of a thousand Mo Dao swordsmen. The warriors wearing iron armor and holding Mo Dao swords are ready in formation. Once the battle begins, the cavalry will attack.
, they will be a heavy hammer that smashes the opponent's battle formation.
Haili's anger was completely ignited after seeing the Han army waiting for him. He waved his hand. His subordinate Aria understood the general's intention and planned to lead his cavalry to rush over and teach the Han army a small lesson. The five men under his command
Following his gesture, the hundred cavalrymen drew out their scimitars and rushed out with a cry of Ula.
The cavalry team of 500 people formed an arrow formation and headed straight towards Liu Ling's central army. They had no intention of actually starting a battle with the Han army. They just wanted to rely on the impact of the wolf cavalry to disrupt the Han army's formation. Since the Han army could not
If General Haili cannot come to power within his means, he can only use a machete to teach them the principles of life.
There were still a hundred steps away, and the archers of the Han army did not shoot arrows. A scornful smile appeared on Aria's lips. In his opinion, although the Han army was already in formation, they did not dare to fight against the Khitan wolf cavalry. He
He had even expected that the seemingly neat formation of the Han army would be disrupted by the wolf cavalry under his command, and the scene of men and horses turning upside down would soon appear in front of General Haili.
At ninety steps, Liu Ling waved his hand. The soldiers behind the thirty rocket vehicles lit the fuses with torches, and the hissing sound was like the sound of a poisonous snake spitting messages. At eighty steps, Aria saw those big smoking guys.
, but didn’t care at all.
At seventy steps, Aria knew she was going to die.
In the first round, ten rocket cars roared and started pouring crossbow arrows. One thousand, two hundred crossbow arrows were sprinkled out like a torrential rain. Because rocket cars cannot eject like archers, one hundred and twenty steps is the limit shooting distance, and seven
Ten steps is the sure-kill range.
Liu Ling had no intention of greeting the guests with a smile from the beginning. He had already expected that Haili would definitely bring troops to investigate and accuse the Northern Han Dynasty of being robbed, so that General Haili would guarantee his title.
No? Unfortunately, he made a wrong calculation. Although the Northern Han Dynasty was a vassal state of the Liao Dynasty, it was not ready to allow the Khitan army to attack Taiyuan Prefecture.
The flaming crossbow arrows fired from a flat position instantly turned the cavalry in the front row into hedgehogs. It was the first time the Khitan wolf cavalry faced such a sharp murder weapon. It was obviously unprepared. The fast and urgent crossbow arrows were far better than the ox-headed and horse-faced soul-collecting weapons.
The chains are coming, and this single salvo is enough to keep the ghost messengers in the underworld busy.
The horses neighed and stood upright or fell to the ground. The knights on the horses were full of crossbows and fell down to death. The dozens of cavalry in front were shot to death before they even had time to shout, and the knights from behind swarmed up.
The cavalry tried to stop the horse but it was too late. The horse stepped on Paoze's body and began to shake. Before the cavalry could steady the horse, they lost the cover of their companions in front, and the crossbow arrows flew in and killed the cavalry in pieces.
After a volley of fire, less than 200 of the 500 Khitan wolf cavalry were left. Aria, the general who rushed at the front, did not even believe until his death that such a powerful weapon existed in this world. The fire-breathing carriage was like
The wild beasts from hell took away more than three hundred lives as soon as they showed their fangs.
This scene was undoubtedly shocking. The Khitan wolf cavalry, who had not recovered from their nerves, forgot to escape and stood stupidly between the two armies at a loss. They were confused, frightened, and sad, and they were spinning around in circles with their horses in their arms but without any purpose.
The living people had their livers and gall bladders broken by the fire-breathing beast, and no longer had the courage to raise the scimitar.
Should this kind of killing weapon appear on the battlefield?
Haili felt that his heart had been hollowed out, and then fear like a black cloud slowly crept in. His throat was dry, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, his mouth was open, but he forgot to breathe.
He saw that only ten of the thirty carriages breathed out flames, but they took away more than three hundred living lives at once. If the thirty carriages had fired in volley, even if five thousand wolf cavalry had just attacked at the same time,
If you do, you will definitely not get any benefit! If you lose half of your troops before contact is made, how can you fight this battle?
What he didn't know was that only ten of the thirty carriages were fully equipped, and the remaining twenty were just empty shells, simply decorations.
However, this is enough.
Haili sent his own soldiers to say hello and called back the distraught cavalry. He gritted his teeth, urged his horse to sit down and walked towards the Han army. His soldiers wanted to stop him, but were whipped by Haili.
He retreated. On the other side of the Han army, the commander-in-chief of Shuai also rode out to meet General Haili.
"Who are you!"
Haili stopped twenty steps away from Liu Ling, pointed his riding whip at Liu Ling and asked coldly.
Liu Ling sat on the red lion and said loudly: "Liu Ling, the loyal king of Han, you are that one again! Why did you raise troops to invade my capital of the Han Dynasty!"
Haili said angrily: "I am Haili, the great Liao eagle general, can't you see my handsome flag?"
Liu Ling snorted coldly and said: "Since you are the general of the Liao Kingdom, don't you know what you are doing!"
He was suffocated in the sea, and after calming down, he realized that he was indeed reckless. Although the Northern Han Dynasty had been attached to Daliao for twenty years, it was still a country after all! The emperor of any country would not allow troops from other countries to appear in the country.
Outside the capital, especially those who come uninvited, even from allies!
I was indeed a little confused by the anger before. Even if this matter was reported to His Majesty Yelu Xiongji, I was afraid that I would not get support!
Realizing this, Haili changed his mind, clasped his fists on horseback and said, "It turns out to be His Royal Highness, Prince Zhong, who is going to pursue the horse thieves who robbed Sui Gong's team. Why did the Prince lead his troops to stop them?"
Avoiding the important and taking the easy. Even a military general would not understand this principle.
Liu Ling sneered and asked: "General Haili, are you going to Taiyuan City to chase the horse thieves?"
Haili was at a loss for words. He thought for a while and said: "Don't blame me, Your Majesty. The general did come after the horse thief. I bumped into Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. It's just! Your Majesty ordered my subordinates to be shot without asking. Why don't you explain it to me!"
"
Liu Ling asked: "If I send my troops to pursue the horse thieves outside Shangjing City, I wonder how His Majesty Yelu Xiongji will entertain me!?"
Before Haili could say anything, Liu Ling pointed his horsewhip at Haili and angrily shouted: "Who gave you the right to deploy troops on our territory of Han? Is it King Yeluji of the Nanmian Palace in Youzhou? Or His Majesty Yelu of Daliao in Shangjing
Xiongji? Or maybe you, General Haili, want to use your army to destroy our country of Han and become independent?"
Haili was startled and broke into a cold sweat at Liu Ling's words. Yes, he would not get support from His Majesty or the King. If someone with ulterior motives again accused him of supporting the army and relying on himself.
, then wouldn’t it be difficult for me to distinguish myself? The second prince Yelu Deguang was originally at odds with the eldest prince Yelu. The two fought overtly and covertly for the throne, but he took the position of general after being recommended by the second prince. The king of the south palace, Yelu,
It would be strange not to add insult to injury! Will Your Majesty believe that he is just too angry for a moment?
Cold sweat soaked my underwear, and my heart was in turmoil. (To be continued)
