Chapter 824 0819 [Two Big Guys Caught]

At the beginning, Gao Yongchang rebelled in Liaodong, proclaimed himself emperor and established his own country, and a large number of Liao generals surrendered.

When Gao Yongchang was attacked by the Jin Kingdom, his generals surrendered to the Jin Kingdom one after another, and also captured his wife and children to ask for rewards.

Later, the Jin soldiers marched to Yanjing, and the Liao generals along the way fled or simply led their troops to surrender to the Jin Kingdom.

Now the situation has changed, and the same drama is being staged again.

At this moment, Wanyan Talan, who was guarding Jinzhou, finally realized the despair of Emperor Tianzuo and Gao Yongchang.

These bastards all turned their backs, and whoever wins will be the one to fall!

Wanyan Talan even had to thank Xiao Zhongxuan, because other rebels were attacking the Jurchen soldiers, and only Xiao Zhongxuan's Khitan soldiers did not come.

Otherwise, the Jurchen soldiers would have difficulty escaping from Jinzhou City.

"Go east!"

Wanyan Xiyin shouted.

The east gate slowly opened, and Wanyan Talan and Wanyan Shengdu, father and son, rushed out with the Jurchen cavalry.

They led their troops out of the east gate, but did not dare to go further east because there were Ming troops in the mountain stronghold ahead.

They galloped two miles north along the river, but saw Ming cavalry chasing them on the other side of the river. Then the sound of horse hooves sounded behind them, but it was the Ming cavalry and the Xi cavalry chasing them.

"Let Gao Jianu lead the troops to cover the rear!"

Wanyan Talai hurriedly ordered, and then the horn sounded, and the flags were waved one after another.

A cavalry general immediately slowed down and led his soldiers to meet the pursuers. This man was a slave rescued by Wanyan Talai in the early days. He was raised by his side as a personal soldier for several years and was promoted to a general five years ago.

Gao Jianu was very loyal. Wanyan Talai was his heaven. He would do whatever he asked him to do.

Even if it meant going to die!

Yan Ping waved his arm to the left, and the flag-bearing soldiers behind him waved the flag. The Ming cavalry on the left wing immediately turned around and went around to the flank of the Jin soldiers who were covering the rear.

Xiao Baoxian, the Xi general who led the rebellion, led a group of Xi cavalrymen and rushed to the other side of the Jin soldiers who were left behind along the river bank.

Arrows were shot from three directions, and the Jin soldiers who were left behind fell one after another.

Then, three directions charged together. A few Jin soldiers continued to move forward, but most of them turned and fled the battlefield. Not everyone was willing to die!

After chasing for several miles, the Jurchen cavalry responsible for the rear were completely annihilated by the Ming cavalry and the Xi cavalry.

As for the Jurchen cavalry general Gao Jianu, he died during the charge. He had six arrows stuck all over his body, and was stabbed twice by the Ming cavalry who rushed up, and finally fell off his horse and was trampled to death.

Wanyan Talan led his troops along the stream and ran for more than ten miles to the valley.

On the other side of the river was the Ming cavalry led by Li Shifu, and the two sides kept shooting arrows across the stream.

"Make merit, follow me to make merit and kill the enemy!"

Xi general Xiao Baoxian shouted, leading the Xi cavalry to sprint at full speed to chase and kill. They were bullied too badly by the Jurchens, and this time they wanted to make contributions in the Ming Dynasty and avenge their blood feud for many years.

The Xi people were crazy and had no sympathy for the war horses.

If they forced the horses to speed up and sprint, the horses would be useless at the end of the battle.

"Kill!"

Xiao Baoxian had already caught up with the tail of the Jurchen cavalry and rushed forward regardless of everything.

The Jurchen cavalry turned back and shot arrows from time to time. Although they shot down several Xi people, they were also bitten and rushed in.

After defeating several enemies personally, Xiao Baoxian's horse speed gradually slowed down.

Li Shifu rode his horse and shot an arrow at Wanyan Xiyin on the opposite bank.

It didn't hit anyone, but it pierced the hind leg of the war horse.

Wanyan Xiyin was already in his fifties and had been a civil servant for several years. His riding skills were inevitably rusty and his physical strength was not as good as before.

The war horse jumped in pain and accelerated instantly. Wanyan Xiyin's legs couldn't hold the horse's belly, and his high buttocks were immediately lifted off the saddle. When he fell again, his position was a little crooked. As his body shook, he subconsciously held the reins tightly.

What would happen if the reins were suddenly pulled hard while the horse was running at high speed?

It might brake suddenly.

It might also make the horse run faster!

Wanyan Xiyin's warhorse was out of control. It was shot by an arrow, and its head was twisted by the reins, which made the horse compete with its owner. It rushed diagonally along the direction of the reins, almost collided with its own people, and finally left the flat ground and rushed towards the hillside at the entrance of the valley.

When the warhorse stopped, it had already rushed to the middle of the hillside with Wanyan Xiyin.

The mountain was full of Ming troops...

"Catch them alive and take them to Kaifeng to present them as captives!" Yan Ping was overjoyed.

Xiao Shunxian had already abandoned his horse and rushed up, and Wanyan Xiyin hurriedly dismounted and climbed the mountain to escape.

The Xi people dismounted one after another, no longer chasing into the valley, but followed the main general to climb the mountain to capture people. They all recognized Wanyan Xiyin, one of the Bojilie of Jin, equivalent to the deputy prime minister during the Song and Liao dynasties.

Wanyan Xiyin was old after all, and he had not been active in the past few years. He was out of breath after climbing the mountain for a while. He first threw away his helmet and threw it at the Xi soldiers down the mountain, and then untied his armor belt while climbing the slope.

Then, he threw the belt down the mountain.

Just as Wanyan Xiyin continued to untie his armor, Xiao Baoxian had already climbed a few meters behind him.

Wanyan Xiyin saw a stone next to him and pushed it down with all his strength.

The distance was too close, and the stone had not rolled out of speed, so it was easily dodged by Xiao Baoxian.

Wanyan Xiyin drew out his waist knife again and chopped at the top of Xiao Baoxian's head who was crawling over. Xiao Baoxian did not dodge or evade, anyway, he had the helmet and shoulder armor to resist, and reached out to grab Wanyan Xiyin's ankle.

With a sudden pull, Wanyan Xiyin fell backwards and was pulled in front of Xiao Baoxian.

Then he snatched the sword from his hand and pinned Wanyan Xiyin down. Xiao Baoxian shouted excitedly: "I have captured Jin Guobo Jilie, the Xi people have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty!"

Yan Ping and Li Shifu had already chased into the valley.

Yan Ping had been following the Jurchen cavalry, while Li Shifu was on the other side of the river from the Jurchen cavalry.

About two miles into the valley, the east bank where Li Shifu was located became wider and wider, while the west bank where the Jurchen cavalry was located quickly narrowed.

The Jurchen cavalry could not deploy, and those behind were forced to slow down.

Yan Ping took the opportunity to lead his troops to catch up, and hacked and killed the Jurchen cavalry who slowed down.

The one-sided massacre did not allow the fleeing Jurchen cavalry to turn around and meet the enemy. The Ming cavalry had already rushed behind them, and stabbed them in the back with their guns.

But the cavalry led by Yan Ping was also delayed in a narrow place, and they had to kill all the enemies in front of them before they could pass.

Li Shifu was still shooting arrows across the river.

Wanyan Talan continued to flee for four miles, and there was another small river blocking the way ahead. It was a tributary of the tributary of the Erdao River east of Jinzhou City.

Not only did the river fork, but the valley also forked.

Wanyan Talan turned to flee to the valley in the west, and Li Shifu had to dismount and cross the river with his entire army.

After running for about five or six miles, the valley ahead forked again. Wanyan Talan said to his son: "Escape separately. Who survives depends on luck!"

"Take care, father!" Wanyan Shengdu shouted.

The father and son each led a team of remnants and fled in different directions.

This time it was Yan Ping who caught up first. Seeing fresh hoof prints on both sides, he said to a personal soldier: "You stay and point out the direction for General Li. I will chase the left side, and let General Li chase the right side. Who can catch the enemy commander depends on everyone's luck!"

Yan Ping did not chase the right side because he was too lazy to dismount and cross the river.

He was lucky because the left side was the direction Wanyan Talan fled - Wanyan Talan was unwilling to waste time crossing the river.

The chase lasted from afternoon to night, and both sides were exhausted.

There were only more than 30 people left around Wanyan Talan. Many Jurchen soldiers or war horses were shot across the river by Li Shifu's troops before, and they gradually couldn't hold on during the escape and fell behind.

Wanyan Talan was also old, and he was extremely tired after tossing until now.

After he turned around a river beach, he chose ten soldiers to stay behind and said to the remaining soldiers: "You continue to run forward, I will stop the enemy!"

The soldiers were grateful and ran away quickly.

Wanyan Talan said to the soldiers who stayed behind: "Lead the horses into the mountains, don't make any noise!"

This old man was very bad. He took ten soldiers and led the horses up a gentle slope and hid in a small forest that was not dense.

Yan Ping led the cavalry to gallop past and chased the fleeing enemy in front.

After a short rest, Wanyan Talan led the horses over the mountain.

It was dark and he couldn't figure out the direction. He was afraid of encountering the Ming army when he went down the mountain, so he spent the night on the mountain.

And he chose a war horse that was so tired that it foamed at the mouth, tied its mouth and led it to a place not far away to kill it. Then, Wanyan Talan and his soldiers drank the horse's blood together and cut the horse meat with a knife to eat raw.

After resting for about half an hour, Wanyan Talan was afraid that Yan Ping would ask something from the captives, so he led the cavalry to lead the horses down the mountain from another direction.

On the ridge opposite this mountain, Li Shifu was leading his horse back.

Li Shifu failed to pursue Wanyan Shengdu. There were forks everywhere in the mountain, and he lost the enemy while chasing.

Because the warhorse was too tired, he led his soldiers to lead the horses all the way back, cursing and complaining about his bad luck.

Wanyan Talan completely lost his direction in his escape. It was already dawn when he finally got down the mountain.

Looking at the scenery in the valley, Wanyan Talan felt a little familiar, and met two corpses after walking for a while.

Did they come back again?

Wanyan Talan turned his head to look at the rising sun, and after confirming the direction, he shouted: "Hurry up and get on the horse and go north!"

The Jurchen soldier who was killed and eaten by the warhorse was hesitant to say anything. In the end, he said nothing and fled on foot in another direction.

Wanyan Talan rushed into a valley with nine personal soldiers on horseback.

After only running two miles and bypassing a river bend, he saw countless Ming soldiers drinking water by the river.

Li Shifu was stunned, then suddenly realized: "Get on the horse and kill the enemy!"

"Retreat quickly!" Wanyan Talan was so scared that his soul flew out of his body.

In panic, Wanyan Talan galloped on his horse. Just after rushing out half a mile, the warhorse stepped on the gravel on the river beach.

The horse stumbled and fell down with the man.

Li Shifu was overjoyed and shouted: "Catch them alive and present them to the palace!"

Wanyan Talan also shouted: "I am willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. If there is any city that has not been captured, I can help the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to persuade the defenders to surrender!"

In history, this guy failed in the factional struggle and even planned to surrender to Zhao Gou and Qin Hui.

Why can't he surrender to the Ming Dynasty?

Li Shifu led his soldiers to surround him and said, "Tie this guy up. Hahahaha, my grandfather will be made a marquis today!"

Wanyan Talai knelt on the ground honestly, allowing the Ming soldiers to tie him up, and asked flatteringly, "General, what is your surname?"

Li Shifu said, "Your grandfather's surname is Li. Begging for mercy now? It's too late! You bastard, you made me suffer all night and almost let you escape."
