Firearms are Liu Ling's biggest reliance in this era!
boom!
The gunpowder package slid out of a parabola in mid-air and exploded in mid-air not far from Liyao Nayan! A dazzling and huge fire exploded in the air, like a huge flower blooming in mid-air.
Fire lotus. That is the killing lotus, the bloody lotus.
When Li Yao Nayan saw that thing flying towards him, his heart suddenly went blank. He was stunned, and fear spread all over his body in an instant! After the huge roar, in the thick smoke, Shengtu Yehu looked at Li Yao.
Yao Nayan was blown away several meters away and fell hard to the ground. With the explosion as his loyalty, no one could be seen standing within a dozen meters! It was like a drop of ink dripping from a piece of white paper.
, as if a stone was thrown into a calm pond, as if the foot stepped on the ground and stirred up a circle of dust. After the roar, the world suddenly became quiet.
The Khitan soldiers on the battlefield were all frightened. They saw the explosion, the roar that sounded like the anger of the Everlasting Heaven, and then they saw their general being blown away by the wrath of the Everlasting Heaven.
"Li Yao Na Yan is dead!"
Shengtu Yehu suddenly raised the spear in his hand: "Kill!"
The Shura knights who never shouted for kill suddenly burst out with a momentum that shook the world. They all raised their long spears and shouted: "Kill!"
Seeing the fire explode, Liu Ling split a Khitan soldier into two pieces with a knife and laughed loudly: "Li Yao Nayan is dead! Kill!"
kill!
kill!
kill!
Both the common people and the remaining Han soldiers shouted and rushed forward crazily. They were like a group of ferocious beasts from the prehistoric era, showing their bloody sharp fangs and biting any creature that dared to block their steps.
Broken into pieces! The soldiers of the Han army and the people of Zhaozhou City all saw the fire and heard the roar. With Liu Ling's loud shout, they knew that the Khitan general had been killed by the Shura knights!
The Khitan soldiers also saw and heard it, and then a overwhelming fear suddenly arose in their hearts.
The general is dead?
The general is dead!
The Khitan soldiers who had already gained the absolute upper hand began to collapse, and the low-level and mid-level commanders could no longer maintain their composure. Although they did not believe that General Li Yao Yan was burned to death by a sudden fire, they felt in their hearts.
The fear still spread uncontrollably.
"This is Changshengtian's punishment for you!"
Liu Ling looked up to the sky and shouted!
The Khitan people who knew Chinese were immediately frightened by Liu Ling's shout!
People on the grassland believe in the Immortality Heaven. They believe that thunder is the wrath of the Immortality Heaven, and that lightning is divine punishment from the Immortality Heaven. This is a firm belief that has been steadfast for countless generations for countless years. In fact, it was used by the Han army
When the gunpowder packets exploded the siege ram, the Khitans were already frightened by the thunderbolt fire falling from the sky. However, the number of gunpowder packets was too small and they only exploded at that point. Although the Khitans in other places heard
Hong Ming saw the fire but didn't know what was going on. It was precisely because Liu Ling grasped this that he shouted that it was the Khitans who aroused the anger of Changshengtian, and then Changshengtian sent down a divine punishment to kill Liyao Nayan!
Is it a punishment from Changshengtian?
It was the punishment of Changshengtian! The general offended Changshengtian and was struck to death by divine punishment!
Fear spread among the Khitan soldiers like a plague. Gradually, the Khitan soldiers who were about to occupy the city wall lost their fighting spirit. They began to flee as if they had seen a ghost, and some even jumped directly from the city wall in panic. More than ten meters.
The city wall was so high that anyone who jumped off would probably break his leg even if he was lucky enough to survive. The Khitan people began to rout on a large scale. They climbed down from the city wall again along the ladder, and then headed towards the camp like crazy.
He ran away, and many Khitan soldiers knelt down and kowtowed, muttering words asking Changshengtian to appease his anger.
The general is a brave soldier, the leader is dead, the dragons are leaderless, and the Khitan people are suddenly in chaos!
The Khitan warriors on the city wall had begun to flee. The Khitan people who were watching the general being burned to death outside were even more frightened. The retreat was unstoppable. Although the generals restrained them, most of the soldiers chose to flee. The general had already
Dead, they can only escape here. Shengtu Yehu took the opportunity to lead Shura's heavy cavalry to chase down the Khitan soldiers, but the Khitan soldiers who had lost their courage and courage could not think of anything else but to hand their backs to the enemy and run for their lives.
thing. They lost the fighting spirit to resist, and now they just want to escape back.
According to the rules set by His Majesty Ye Luxiongji of the Liao Kingdom, if the general dies in battle, not only the general's personal soldiers will be buried with him, but also the intermediate generals below him! Therefore, the moment Li Yao Nayan was blown away, it was already
The Khitans were destined to be defeated. The Khitans, who had an absolute advantage in military strength, were defeated in such an embarrassing manner. They were already within reach of victory. They were only a little bit away from breaking through Zhaozhou City. They were only a little bit away from capturing Zhaozhou City.
That Han King Liu Ling lived. Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Li Yao Nayan fell.
Outside the city, tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers frantically ran back into the camp to snatch a war horse and run away, while the remaining less than three thousand Shura battalion heavy cavalry chased tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers and killed them wildly. The Khitan soldiers retreated from the city wall and under the city.
The soldiers ran behind the Shura Knight, but no one attacked the Shura Knight. Human beings are like this. It is difficult to inspire them to have the courage to fear death. But when fear begins to appear, no one can stop it!
The panicked Khitan people ran around like headless flies without distinguishing between the east, west and north. They even fought among themselves in order to snatch a war horse. This is a characteristic of the grassland people. When their morale is high, even if they face ten
Enemies who are twice as big as you dare to launch fearless attacks, but if they think they have been defeated, they will completely lose their fighting spirit!
In battles between tribes on the grassland, it is not uncommon for the party with more people to be hunted down by the party with fewer people.
Liu Ling looked at the Khitan soldiers receding like a tide. He leaned on the city wall and wiped the sweat and blood from his forehead. He finally breathed a long sigh of relief. The sun had begun to set in the west, and the most difficult day was finally over.
It was about to pass. He took a deep breath of the air filled with the smell of blood, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously. In the end, he won. Although the victory was extremely tragic, the Han people still stood and enjoyed the victory.
He slowly sat down against the wall and ordered the soldiers to gather up the Khitan people on the wall who had no time to escape and knelt down to surrender, and escorted them to the city. Then he sent an order to Shengtu Yehu not to pursue him too far. Although the Khitan people
People have lost their fighting spirit, but the Shura camp can no longer withstand any further losses. More than half of the six thousand Shura knights have been lost, and the remaining two thousand people are also scarred. Before coming, Liu Ling did not expect that the battle would be
It was so difficult that even the Shura Battalion's heavy cavalry was almost wiped out. Such a loss was too great.
Shengtu Yehu led more than two thousand Shura heavy cavalry and chased them for thirty miles and then slowly retreated. On the way back, they captured tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers without any effort! Those fleeing Khitan people saw the Han cavalry.
When they arrived, some of them turned around and ran away, and some actually knelt down and begged not to kill themselves. The number of prisoners was several times that of the Han army, but they had no intention of resisting. They were escorted back by the Shura knights as if they were resigned to their fate.
Zhaozhou, and then locked up with the prisoners of war captured by the defenders on the city wall.
On the campus of the Zhaozhou camp, nearly 20,000 Khitan prisoners of war were squatting and kneeling! And the only people guarding these prisoners of war were more than 500 wounded Han soldiers! The Khitan soldiers, who were still clean, were hanging low
They gathered together dejectedly. As prisoners of war, they knew what their fate was. According to the rules on the grassland, they would all become slaves of the victor. This is the rule of the grassland people, and it has always been this way.
When the Khitan prisoners of war were gathered and the city defense was simply arranged, the great King of Han irresponsibly returned to the tent and fell asleep. Even Minhui was unaware of changing his dressing. Zhu Sanqi dragged his injured body
When he went to the big tent to report the results of the battle to Liu Ling, he found His Highness the King of Han lying on the bed, soundly asleep. Zhu Sanqi sighed heavily, and then laid every part of his body that was not aching on the grassland blanket beside Liu Ling.
Throw it away, close your eyes and instantly fall asleep.
He slept until the sun rose the next day. Zhao Da, wrapped like a mummy, appeared in the tent with difficulty. After waking up Liu Ling, he told him that Liu Mao, Marquis of Hu Pavilion, had died in battle.
Liu Ling remained silent until an hour later, when the overwhelming Han army entered the city and the general Mao Yuan rushed into the tent eagerly, Liu Ling slowly exhaled a breath and said the first words to Mao Yuan.
It’s: “Kill them all!”
There are nearly 20,000 Khitan prisoners of war. No one will be spared. Kill them!
No one dissuaded, and no one thought it was too cruel. His Highness the King of Han rarely killed prisoners, and His Highness the King of Han did not advocate killing prisoners. But this time, no one thought it was wrong to kill prisoners who had given up resistance. Even so.
It's wrong, just kill him!
Twenty thousand people, twenty thousand heads piled up, as high as a hill.
"Twenty thousand is not enough!"
Liu Ling looked at the headless corpse on the ground, then raised his gaze to the north: "It aroused my murderous intention. If I don't kill him ten times and a hundred times, how can I feel at ease?"
At this time, the Khitan army that had retreated from Zhaozhou met the Yeluji army that had retreated from Cangzhou. The two sides merged together and retreated towards Youzhou in panic. Yeluji did not go through any hard fighting, and when Chen Yuanshan
When the 180,000-strong army arrived in Cangzhou, Yeluji decisively ordered a retreat. Although they were chased by the Han army and fought several battles, the losses were not too huge.
Yeluji urged his horse to catch up with a carriage. He lowered his head and looked at the carriage covered with a thick blanket. At least half of his body was burned. There were still more than a dozen iron nails remaining in his body.
The proud Khitan soldier Yeluji let out a long sigh and didn't even know what to say.
Li Yao's face was still half human, with his hair and eyebrows burned off. One of his right eyes was smashed by a nail, and there were several bloody holes on his face. His body exuded a burnt smell.
, it looked as disgusting and dirty as a dead corpse. But Yeluji knew that Li Yao Nayan was not dead, but he didn't know what kept Li Yao Nayan alive so strongly.
The once handsome, proud, and youngest general of the Liao Kingdom, Li Yao Nayan, was lying on the carriage struggling to survive.
Yeluji sighed, regardless of whether Liyao Nayan could hear it or not: "What's the point of living? After losing everything, life would be worse than death, right?" (To be continued)
