Chapter 1,244 The Anxious Emperor, Cruel Fighting

The army set off in great force. When the vanguard reached the horse-catching mouth, the last baggage was still halfway there.

Yelu Hongji led the Chinese army to catch the horse. The men and horses left by the forward waited silently, and the atmosphere was very sad.

"What's wrong?"

Yelu Hongji didn't like this atmosphere.

The general raised his head and said sadly: "Your Majesty, that beast Shen An..."

"Um?"

Yelu Hongji felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the name Shen An. He looked up and saw a hill suddenly appearing on the plain.

"what is that?"

"Your Majesty, that beast Shen An built Jingguan again."

"What?"

Yelu Hongji rode his horse and rushed over, followed by the civil servants and military officers behind him.

The Jingguan of more than two thousand people looked very huge. The spring breeze blew continuously, blowing away some of the sealing soil, exposing a lot of the grinning heads and twisted limbs.

"Shen An!"

During the hundred years since the Song Dynasty was founded, there had never been a bloodthirsty general like Shen An.

No, he is not murderous, but cruel.

"Your Majesty, whenever there is a war, he likes to build a capital nearby to intimidate his opponents... the Jiaozhi people, the Xixia people, and... our people have all become his military exploits."

"Then kill him!"

Yelu Hongji turned around, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "Since he's here, let's fight."

He galloped forward, feeling a fire burning in his chest.

When the soldiers saw Jingguan, their eyes looked wrong.

"Back then, Daliao also built Jingguan in the Central Plains. What could the Han people do? Today I led you here just to tell them that... the Han people are still the defeated generals of Daliao!"

During the melee in the Central Plains, Shi Jingtang recognized the traitor as his father, colluded with the Khitan people, and destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. The Khitan people built a capital for the royal family and soldiers of the later Jin Dynasty by the Fen River.

Later, the famous Liao general Yelu Xiu built the remains of the Song army soldiers who died in the battle as a Jingguan.

For many years, only Daliao used the corpses of its opponents to build the capital, but things have changed in recent years. In Fuzhou, in Xiongzhou, in Yanmen Pass, in Baozhou, here... the corpses of Daliao warriors have become The mountain of corpses seemed to be mocking Yelu Hongji.

——Times have changed, and the power of Song and Liao has been reversed!

"Long live!"

Amid the cheers, Yelu Hongji made a sudden U-turn on his horse, pointed forward and shouted: "Attack!"

He needed to use actions to tell the Song people that Daliao was still invincible!

The cavalry rushed out, and the carriages parked there alone.

Yelu Hongji slowly rode over. When he reached the carriage, he said coldly: "If I kill him, there will be no follow-up to the Stone Chronicles..."

The car was silent.

Yelu Hongji opened the car curtain and looked at the queen who was bowing her head inside, with a sarcastic look flashing in his eyes.

"You like poetry and articles, you also like music and dance. You like everything, but you don't know how to be a queen."

The slender neck moved slightly, "Is Your Majesty here to humiliate my concubine?"

Yelu Hongji snorted coldly, "Jun'er is doing well in Zhongjing City..."

This is the first time Xiao Guanyin has learned about his son's condition since his departure. She looked up at Yelu Hongji, with a sad look in her eyes, "That's your son."

Yelu Hongji reined in his restless horse, turned around in a circle, and said: "Look... look what you are looking at? I originally thought that my queen should be a good wife, but what about you? You are obsessed with singing and dancing. Poetry... That is a stupid literary lady, but she is not a queen!"

He whipped his whip violently, and the riding crop hit the book, and several pages flew up immediately.

Xiao Guanyin watched all this blankly, his once bright eyes filled with deathly silence.

When the Emperor sees you as a threat, nothing you say will matter.

This is what she learned from Dream of Red Mansions.

Xue Baochai regarded Daiyu as a threat, so she got close to her in various ways, but deep down she despised this lonely girl.

You are a threat to her, Daiyu!

She lowered her head and flashed a sneer.

"Set off!"

The car curtain was lowered, Xiao Guanyin slowly packed up the scattered pages of the book, and then leaned against the car wall with his eyes closed to relax.

I don’t know how long it took, but someone outside shouted: “Song Army scout found!”

Without looking, Xiao Guanyin could feel the tense atmosphere.

"The Chinese army sets up camp!"

"The rangers attack and drive away the Song army's scouts!"

"Follow the scouts to find out the military situation of the Song Army!"

"Go to the five thousand cavalry to protect the baggage and arrive!"

"Your Majesty is here!"

The huge Liao army settled down.

But the scout war is about to begin.

Scouts from the Song and Liao armies fought in front of Tang County.

The Liao army felt that their scouts had the advantage, but as soon as the two sides came into contact, the Song army's scouts gave them a blow with crossbow arrows.

"Fire the arrow!"

The arrow fell in vain in front of the Song Army, and the Song Army scout who completed the winding action raised his crossbow again.

"Fire the arrow!"

The same is true for shooting arrows, but the crossbow has a longer range.

The Liao army scout who was hit by an arrow fell from his horse, the numbers of both sides were reversed, and the Song army took the initiative to launch an attack.

"withdraw!"

The two sides were constantly chasing each other. When they saw large groups of Liao troops approaching, some of the Song army's scouts raised their binoculars.

"The enemy's rangers... are more than three thousand, and there must be a large group of cavalry behind them. Brothers, we need to contain them and let others check the size of the enemy's army..."

The leader Dutou raised his sword and turned back, "For the Great Song Dynasty!"

"For the Song Dynasty!"

The scouts closely followed their captains and rode towards the enemy troops.

They need to contain this group of rangers.

But they will suffer heavy casualties and may be wiped out.

No one backed away.

When you're on the battlefield, you can't help yourself.

The only thing you can do is to follow your superior. Whether it's life or death, you have no choice.

"Kill the enemy!"

The Liao army's rangers discovered this Song army, and laughter could be heard. Then the rangers began to disperse and prepare to encircle them.

The two sides began to contact, and the Song Army scouts immediately withdrew.

As the arrows were flying, several scouts behind them fell off their horses and were immediately overtaken by the Liao army. Some of them were captured...

"Suicide..."

Du Tou could only shout like this.

This is not the civil war when Emperor Taizu fought in the Central Plains. At that time, it was possible to survive if captured.

This is a battle between the alien races in the Central Plains and the grasslands. The only purpose of both sides is to kill the other.

The captured sergeant cried out and struggled hard before being knocked unconscious and taken back with a punch.

The Liao army became even more proud after capturing the prisoners.

At this moment, a group of Song troops from the side quietly approached.

They broke in through the cracks and miraculously avoided the detection of several groups of Liao troops.

"Brother Chun, what's wrong?"

Yan Baoyu was observing the surrounding situation.

Huang Chun on the horse squinted his eyes and whispered: "Pay attention...to the left..."

"There is danger ahead, I feel it is very dangerous." Huang Chun suddenly opened his eyes, "Baoyu, I feel very dangerous, could it be..."

"Everyone dismount!"

Yan Baoyu dismounted first, then changed into khaki clothes. After putting on his hood, the difference between him and the land was indistinguishable from a little distance.

"Brother Chun is keeping an eye on the brothers. If someone doesn't come back in a quarter of an hour... you should leave first!"

Yan Baoyu hurried out without waiting for Huang Chun's agreement.

"Baoyu!"

Huang Chun was anxious, but knew that this was the only choice.

Yan Baoyu kept running, occasionally stopping and raising his telescope to observe.

He was counting the time. Once it exceeded half a quarter of an hour, he had to go back, otherwise he alone would be strangled by the Liao army's rangers.

He ran hard, and when he estimated that half an hour was coming, he wanted to turn back without hesitation.

But the moment he turned around, he saw some black spots, then stopped and raised the telescope.

Within the sight of the telescope, there was a crowd of people and horses, and behind, a huge camp was taking shape.

He quickly judged the number of people, then turned around and ran away.

According to Shen An's teachings back then, once the agreed time has passed, no matter how much you miss the brother who has not come back, for the safety of more brothers, you must take them and leave immediately.

So he has to be fast.

He ran all the way, and when he saw Huang Chun, he felt that his heart was almost beating out of his chest.

"Walk!"

He could no longer mount his horse, so two rural soldiers put him on horseback, and then evacuated under the leadership of Huang Chun.

They arrived all the way to Tang County and saw many brothers who were carried down.

Most of these people died miserably. Some were probably trampled by war horses, and their original appearance was no longer visible.

"Fifth brother..."

A sergeant knelt before a mass of flesh and blood and howled.

"His brother is dead." A sergeant said, "He was trampled to death by the Liao people..."

Huang Chun dismounted and asked, "How many of our brothers were arrested today?"

The sergeant lowered his head, "Someone just said that thirty-two of our brothers were arrested today..."

"How many have we caught?" Huang Chun felt a little uncomfortable.

"Get out of the way!"

There was a commotion behind them, and the crowd split into lanes. In fact, Huang Chun also saw the big man without distinction.

The two-meter-tall Wang Que walked over with a Liao soldier in one hand and his steps were vigorous.

"I've met Commander Wang!"

Everyone, who was feeling depressed, hurriedly saluted.

Someone said: "The man was crying about the tragic death of his brother just now, so Commander Wang took the people out... Unexpectedly..."

Huang Chun couldn't help but stand on his head.

He actually went to capture prisoners?

Wang Que was covered in blood. He walked up to the wailing sergeant, threw the two prisoners on the ground, then leaned over and touched the sergeant's head, "When I was as old as you, my cousin also died in the battle. Yes, I was also crying and howling at that time... But I later learned that crying and howling can't comfort my cousin's soul in heaven, only killing, using killing to comfort the brothers who died in the war..."

The sergeant raised his head, sniffed, and nodded vigorously.

"They are left to you, you can kill them as you please."

Wang Qing smiled and left.

"Master Wang...what a good man!"

"Good man!"

Everyone was shocked.

This is the hero of the Song Dynasty!

"I also want to kill the enemy!"

Someone shouted: "Go back and get some prisoners for you to see."

Morale rose instantly.

Huang Chun shook his head and sighed, completely stunned by Wang Que's words and deeds.

When he arrived at the government office, Shen An was summarizing the number of enemy rangers discovered today.

"Mr. Lang."

Shen An turned around, "Brother Chun is back? How is it?"

Today, more than ten groups of scouts tried their best to fight, but in the end they were all intercepted and killed on the way. No one could find out the specific situation of the Liao army.

So Fu Bi did not raise his head and continued to ponder the size of the Liao army.

It is difficult to deduce the size of the enemy army based on the size and combat effectiveness of the rangers, but you have to try.

"Baoyu has detected the enemy's movements. Yelu Hongji has arrived in person. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net has at least 80,000 riders!"

When Yelu Hongji came, so did the most elite Liao army.

Eighty thousand elites, this is almost the power of an entire country.

Fu Bi raised his head and asked, "Is it true?"

"I believe them."

Huang Chun and others were deeply moved by Shen An's simple words.

"Where are they?"

Yan Baoyu went over and searched along the map for a while before finally locating it.

"it's here."

Fu Bi glanced at him and said, "It's less than thirty miles away, Yelu Hongji is so brave!"

"Of course he's brave."

Shen An looked at the map carefully, stood up and said, "Prime Minister Fu, it's about to begin."

Fu Bi closed his eyes, "You have experienced many wars, and I have many ways to rely on you... Anbei, we must work together... to repel the Liao army for the Song Dynasty!"

Shen An nodded, "In this case, I will ask someone to deal with it..."

This is a temptation.

An army has no two masters. Shen An is commanding it. If Fu Bi intervenes again, the trouble will be big.

Fu Bi opened his eyes, smiled and said, "Okay."

Shen An smiled and nodded, then turned around and ordered: "Send an envoy to see Yelu Hongji and inquire about his purpose. This person must be courageous... I want him to see the courage of the Liao people's monarchs and ministers."

This is a bold and cruel decision, and the person who goes there will most likely not be able to come back.

But there were still people flocking to it, but in the end it was Wang Yu who stood out.

"The official asked me to leave Bianliang's romance, just to see this golden horse." Wang Yu was very calm, "If others go to Yelu Hongji, they dare to kill him. If he goes, he has to think more about it."

Last time, Shen An used the alias Cao Xueqin to light a fire. With this, Yelu Hongji could kill the messenger.

"But X's father is Wang Anshi, so sincerity is enough."

"You lunatic..." Shen An tried to dissuade him in every possible way to no avail, and finally had to watch him leave.
