Hua Ling led an army of 30,000 people out of the north gate of Taiyuan, spread out their formation, and raised three times the flags. The soldiers widened the distance between them, leaving a large space in the middle. From a distance, it looked as powerful as an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people.
Judging from the number of Hualing's troops, it was as if the Han army in Taiyuan had marched out of the city.
Su County is only forty miles away from Taiyuan. The Khitan scouts saw the clouds of smoke and dust coming from the south. Standing on a high slope to observe, they saw that there were no less than 70,000 to 80,000 Han troops. The Khitan scouts
Shocked, he sent his men back to the camp to warn, leaving a few men to continue to monitor the Han army, following at a distance of less than two miles.
The Han army clearly noticed these Khitan scouts, but ignored them. For those people who were dangling and peeping in the distance, the Han army seemed not even interested in sending people to kill them. This made the Khitan scouts even more worried.
Not killing the scouts only shows that the Han people are sure of victory and are bound to win.
Su County
"Report! The Han army is attacking!"
A scout Pegasus rushed directly into the gate of the camp, flew down more than ten steps away from the tent and ran towards the tent. Yelu Deguang and Xiao Suxun opened the curtain and walked out, and the scout single
He knelt on his knees and said in a hoarse voice: "Report! Your Highness, the Han army is attacking in large numbers. It looks like there are no less than 80,000 troops!"
"Eighty thousand?!"
Yelu Deguang's expression changed, he stepped forward and grabbed the scout's shoulder and asked, "Eighty thousand? Have you looked carefully?"
"Your Highness, I have to look carefully at the flags, there are at least 800 flags!"
Just as Yelu Deguang was about to ask again, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and an urgent shout: "Report! The Han army is attacking. A large number of Han troops have appeared at the east gate of the camp. The flag number is no less than 30,000!"
"Report!"
The second scout jumped off his horse, and the third scout rushed into the camp: "Report! A large group of Han troops has appeared in the southwest of the camp. The flag number is no less than 30,000!"
"The Han army...the Han army raised a flag...a big white flag...it said..."
Yelu Deguang kicked the scout out: "What did you write!"
"Congratulations...congratulations to Yelu Xiong for ascending to heaven."
"ah!"
Yelu Deguang whipped out his scimitar and chopped off the scout's head with one blow. The bloody head rolled far away on the ground, covered with dust. Suddenly, Yelu Deguang's eyes were filled with blood red. There was a moment.
A kind of anger that can burn everything rose up in his heart, and soon burned through his limbs and bones along his blood. The blood boiled, and then surged upward, impacting Yelu Deguang's mind, causing waves of dizziness.
.
"Your Highness!"
Xiao Suxun grabbed Yelv Deguang, who was a little crazy: "Don't be impulsive! Be careful of the morale of the army!"
He reminded Yelu Deguang hurriedly in his ear.
Like an enlightenment, Yelu Deguang suddenly froze on the spot.
"Coward! Do you deserve to be called a warrior of Daliao if you are in a panic! What will happen if the Han army comes? We have an army of 500,000, and your Majesty is watching you behind you! The Han people are just bluffing! Taiyuan City
The total number of Han troops here is less than 100,000, how dare you be frightened by such a little trick!"
Yelu Deguang roared angrily at the Khitan warriors who gathered around him.
Angry, there was finally a reasonable explanation. Although the news of Yelu Xiongji's death from illness had begun to spread in the camp, the Khitan warriors still did not want to believe it was true. But His Majesty really had not appeared in the camp for seven or eight days.
It came into everyone's sight, and the big flag raised by the Han army really caused them to panic.
"Your Majesty is slightly ill and is resting in the big tent. If Your Majesty sees you all looking so weak, Your Majesty will be chilled!"
Xiao Suxun cooperated with Yelu Deguang's words and continued to stabilize the morale of the army. He stepped forward and stood next to Yelu Deguang. He raised his head and looked at the ashamed-looking Khitan warriors and said: "Your Majesty is indeed unwell. He just fell asleep after taking medicine."
.You are all warriors of Daliao and your Majesty’s subjects. Now I ask you to do one thing. After Your Majesty wakes up, the first thing you hear is the good news that you have defeated the Han people! You say,
Will His Majesty be proud of you?"
"Go for it!"
Yelu Deguang continued Xiao Suxun's words and said: "I am the prince of Daliao, and I will fight with you! Follow me out of the camp and form an array. Kill as many Han people as they come, and then conquer Taiyuan in one go!"
"Kill all the Han people! Capture Taiyuan!"
Seeing that the morale of the Khitan warriors had gradually improved, Lie Lie, the commander of Yelu Deguang's personal soldiers, quickly stepped forward, raised his arms and shouted loudly.
"Kill all the Han people!"
The Khitan warriors drew their scimitars together.
"Those weak Han people who insulted His Majesty the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom insulted the entire Khitan nation! You are all warriors of the Khitan nation, warriors who have received the blessings of the Immortal Heaven! Use your scimitars to punish and insult His Majesty.
Insulted the Han people of Daliao!"
Xiao Suxun finally said: "Every battalion general, go back and rectify the soldiers, and go out to kill the enemy!"
There were about seven or eight generals who knew that Yelu Xiongji had been poisoned and died. They were all senior generals in the Liao army. Seeing that the morale of the troops had gradually stabilized, they immediately began to order the soldiers to return to their battalions and wait for the deployment of the generals. The soldiers quickly
After they dispersed, there were only a dozen senior officials of the Khitan army left in front of the big tent.
"Yakuri! Do you want to avenge your brother Huarachi?"
Yelu Deguang shouted loudly.
General Yakuli of the Golden Horde puffed up his chest and said, "Your Highness, I wish I could kill all the Han people!"
Yelu Deguang nodded appreciatively and said: "Okay! Take your troops with you, and I will give you two more ten thousand troops to go out from the south gate of the camp to block the main force of the Han people. As long as you persist for two hours, I will
You can lead the army to go behind the Han people. When the time comes to attack from both sides, the Han people will be defeated! As long as the invading Han people are defeated, you can kill as many people as you like! If you can capture Liu Ling, the king of Han, I will also
He leaves it to you!"
Yakuli trembled with excitement, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Yakuli will lead his children to kill the shit out of those two-legged sheep!"
"Go for it!"
Yelu Deguang said loudly.
"Yeluchun, take your ten thousand troops and kill all the Han people who invaded the east gate!"
"The general will obey your orders!"
"Sutiya, take your ten thousand troops to the west gate! When I lead the army to cut off the Han people's retreat, you will fight back with Yakuri and Yelu Chun and twist off the heads of the Han people!"
Xiao Suxun looked at Yelu Deguang and admired him for calming down so quickly.
"You all go down and prepare, and order the entire army to assemble, including the supply camp!"
After Yelu Deguang gave the last order, he waved his hand and signaled the generals to go prepare themselves.
"Your Highness, the supply camp is also going to be moved? Will it affect the attack of the army?"
Xiao Suxun was a little confused as to why Yelu Deguang gave such an order in the end. There were nearly half a million troops in Su County, and the entire Han army was only about 100,000 people. Even if there was a large-scale attack, there was no need to move the transport camp.
Moreover, the supply battalion can only move back. Once it moves, the morale of the army will probably fluctuate. This order is very strange. Even if Yelu Deguang had never fought in a battle, he would not have issued such a confusing order.
"Move..."
Yelu Deguang sighed and said, "Military advisor, don't you understand what I mean?"
Xiao Suxun was stunned, thought about it carefully, and then turned pale with shock!
"Your Highness, are you going to withdraw your troops?!"
His face turned pale in an instant, as if he had heard the same bad news as Yelu Xiongji's death.
"Your Highness, think twice! The morale of the army is still usable, and it may not be able to stop the Han army's attack. Moreover, the Han people came with great fanfare, but it was actually just a bluff. If they retreat in such a hasty way, I'm afraid they will fall into Liu Ling's trick! Yaku
Our headquarters has only fifteen thousand soldiers and horses, and even with the addition of two ten thousand troops, it is still too small. The army retreated, and Yakuri..."
Yelu Deguang frowned, somewhat disdainful of Xiao Suxun's kindness: "Like his brother, he will be loyal to the Liao Kingdom until the last moment."
"Your Highness! We must not lose our military morale!"
Xiao Suxun said anxiously.
"Military advisor, there's something you don't know yet. Just now, my guards have found out how my father was poisoned."
Yelu Deguang sighed: "I didn't expect Liu Ling to be so despicable and shameless!"
"Liu Ling poisoned...could it be those letters!"
Xiao Suxun's heart suddenly beat faster, and then he thought of another terrible thing.
"It seems that the military advisor has also thought of it... Even if the poison was poisoned by Liu Ling, my father just passed away last night. Today Liu Ling got the news and immediately led his army to attack. There are Han spies in the army...
.So, even if there are 500,000 troops, Liu Ling already has a great chance of winning today's battle. I don't know who the spy is. If this person switches sides during a fierce battle, the soldiers will know.
My father has passed away, what chance do we have... of winning?"
Xiao Suxun looked up to the sky and sighed: "I was wrong."
"Military advisor...you have also read Liu Ling's letter."
Yelu Deguang suddenly said something that had nothing to do with military affairs.
"But you're fine."
The expression on Yelu Deguang's face gradually turned cold. He looked at Xiao Suxun's face and asked word for word: "The military advisor is responsible for investigating how my father was poisoned. But after six or seven days of investigation, why is there no trace of anything at all?"
Didn't find it? I can think of those letters, can't you, military advisor? Or... what are you trying to hide, military advisor? "
"you!"
Xiao Suxun was startled: "You suspect that I am a spy of the Han people?! Your Majesty has treated me with great courtesy. I have fought with your Majesty for twenty years and have gone through hundreds of battles, large and small. How can you doubt me!"
Yelu Deguang shook his head. He did not answer Xiao Suxun's words: "Do you know why I sent Yakuli to cut off the queen?"
He smiled, a little sinisterly: "Hua Lachi was trapped and died in Daqingshan by the Han people. Yakuri hated those Han people and wanted to take revenge. But this is only one aspect. Yakuri also hates me on the other hand. He
I hate that I did not lead the army to escort Hua Lachi back, so that his brother was starved to death in Daqing Mountain. After my father passed away, I will be the emperor of the Liao Kingdom from now on. Yakuli is the Golden Horde General, he hates me, I
How can we keep him? Besides, it’s impossible to say that Yakuri is the spy. Didn’t you see the way he usually looks at me? It seems that I am the culprit who killed his brother. Perhaps, compared to killing Liu Ling,
, he wants to kill me more. After all, Liu Ling is the enemy, and killing Hua Lachi in a battle between the two armies is not considered a hatred. And Hua Lachi was sent by me to attack Qinzhou, so Yakuri should hate me more than he hates me.
There are probably more Han people."
Yelu Deguang smiled horribly: "Who is Yakuri? My military advisor? He is the child of your wife's brother. You are the uncle of Hua Lachi and Yakuri!"
"So, if I say that you and Yakuri surrendered to the Han people in order to avenge Hua Lachi, poisoned His Majesty, and also wanted to poison me, do you think the soldiers would not believe it?"
Xiao Suxun calmed down after listening to Yelu Deguang's words, and he actually laughed too, with great relief: "Since that day when I suspected that it was Your Highness who poisoned His Majesty, Your Highness has been thinking about how to get rid of me, right?
Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, it still makes sense. After all, it is my own sorrow that I have been with His Majesty for so many years and still have not understood the principle of one emperor and one minister."
His gaze suddenly sharpened, he stared at Yelu Deguang and said: "It is also the tragedy of Daliao! His Majesty has just passed away, and you have started to kill the veterans who are loyal to His Majesty. If someone like you is the emperor of Daliao, the country will be destroyed soon!"
PS: After thinking about it, Emperor Zhou will be finished in a while. I originally planned to wait for the new book to be released after Emperor Zhou is finished. After asking for opinions, everyone said that it would be better to post the new book before Emperor Zhou is finished.
Therefore, new books will be updated starting from this Thursday or Friday, and Emperor Zhou will not stop updating. Before the completion of Emperor Zhou, the main focus will be on Emperor Zhou. New books will be updated every day, so everyone can try them out. Wait until Emperor Zhou
After the book is completed, the update of the new book will be accelerated. So I would like to ask everyone to collect the new book after it is posted. I will work hard to repay everyone's support. Thank you!
PS2: The name of the new book is "Jiang Ming", which has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. The title of the book is a bit awkward, which means that the day is about to dawn. Please don't scold me. I know the title of the book is not popular enough. In addition, the new book will be
A story that is somewhat different from the style of Emperor Zhou, and a very happy story. Post it on Thursday, and everyone will be able to see it on Friday.
Thank you again, I hope you will support the new book "Jiang Ming", and please collect it. (To be continued)
