Chapter Thirty-Six: The Annihilation of the Army (II)
The 50,000-strong army of the Liao State took all the horses of the whole army. The explanation to the soldiers below was that in order to quickly return to Liaoyang City, they could bring back food as soon as possible. In fact, he was afraid that these war horses would fall into the hands of the enemy. This hand also completely cut off the survival of the remaining troops.
There is no food, and there is no way to run far. Once the food is exhausted, the fate of these people can be imagined.
Feng Ye was not in a hurry to deal with these abandoned infantry, these infantry were already turtles in the urn in his opinion, and he only needed to wait patiently for a few days, and he could easily take them down without bloodshed.
Yelu Derong led a group of Liao nobles and 50,000 cavalry, one man and two horses, and marched all the way, and the group ran as fast as if they had been burned by fire. They can't run if they don't hurry, they don't have enough food to eat. If you don't want to starve to death, you have to run faster.
Although there were many villages and towns along the way, the little food in the villages and towns was a drop in the bucket for an army of 50,000 people, especially the cavalry. Just these 100,000 horses, the forage they eat every day, they have to be piled up.
Feng Ye was not in a hurry to chase. Driving dogs into poor alleys is easy to be eaten back. It can be said that almost all the masters in the 300,000 army of the Liao State are among these 50,000 people. Once they fight back, they may suffer some unnecessary losses.
Feng Ye took the Youyun Iron Cavalry to hang all the way away, and with the speed of the Youyun Iron Cavalry, he was not afraid that they would be able to run away. When it was close to dark, Feng Ye set up camp with the Youyun Iron Cavalry, but only sent some scout cavalry to follow them.
When these people escaped, they were really desperate, running out of the small 200 miles a day and a night. On weekdays, the march will never be able to run at this speed, not to mention the soldiers, even those who are officers will have to be bombed. But now, until the next day, when it was nearly noon, although people were sleepy, there was no one to complain. No one is disgusted with running fast when running for their lives.
Feng Ye slept beautifully here, and then embarked on the journey again with the rising sun. The Liao soldiers ran desperately for a night's distance, and were easily caught up by the Youyun Iron Cavalry for two hours.
When Feng Ye arrived with his people, these Liao soldiers hadn't even built a camp, after all, this was still in the territory of Liao. For these Liao officers and soldiers, instead of laboriously building camps, it is better to rest for a while and leave. As long as they run fast enough, they are safe. It's a pity that they weren't fast enough for the Cloud Riders.
"Charge!" Feng Ye raised his spear and rushed out on his horse, his blood-colored cloak fluttering in the wind, and three thousand Youyun Iron Horsemen followed closely behind. The thunderous sound of horses' hooves suddenly woke up the Liao soldiers who had just fallen asleep.
One by one, these people held their weapons in horror, trying to rely on them to gain a sense of security. There were even some who were too tired and slept deeply, and in the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, they still snorted and snorted.
How could such a tired army withstand the powerful Shadow Cloud Iron Cavalry?
Three thousand Youyun Iron Cavalry charged and crushed the tired Liao army. Watching Youyun Tie ride galloping through the Liao army, it was like entering a no-man's land. The Liao generals led by Yelu Derong were stunned one by one. These are all their own soldiers, and now they are wantonly slaughtered by Feng Ye. How can they endure it?
"Fight with them!" Yelu Derong roared, and immediately a star god phantom appeared behind him, rushing towards Feng Ye, who was the leader. The Liao State officers who followed him closely behind him showed the phantom of the star gods. A total of thirteen fierce generals.
Feng Ye didn't expect that there would be so many fierce masters in the Liao army. However, he didn't care, and shouted to the Youyun Iron Rider beside him, "Don't go near here. ”
Although these Youyun Iron Riders are far stronger than ordinary people, they can't cultivate after all, and there is still a gap between them and these masters who have achieved cultivation.
A golden statue of a golden crow appeared behind Feng Ye, and he rushed forward to meet him. Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as these Liao masters are defeated, those Liao soldiers who are already sleepy and tired of horses will be meat on the felt board. Those Liao generals obviously thought the same thing.
The thirteen star gods of the Liao Kingdom, although powerful, were like children in front of the more than twenty-meter-high Jin Ao. Feng Ye's powerful power is not something that these people can resist at all.
Feng Ye killed Qu Li, the general who was at the front, with just one blow. The ferocity of that great made these Liao generals frightened.
It's just that these people have now been cornered, and they can only grit their teeth and hold on. Thirteen Star God Phantoms, surrounding Feng Ye's Jin Ao couldn't help but spin around. No one could withstand the force of Feng Ye's blow. I can only keep going around and looking for opportunities.
It's a pity that both in terms of speed and physical strength, they are far behind Feng Ye. One force to ten meetings, there are no complicated moves, the spear in Feng Ye's hand is just a simple stab, the spear pierces the air and makes a screaming sound, and one shot stabs the Liao general to death under the horse.
No matter how subtle his moves are, if he can't dodge Feng Ye's powerful shot, there is only one way to die. Seeing that his companion was stabbed to death, another Liao general let out an angry roar and launched a desperate charge against Feng Ye.
As soon as Feng Ye blocked the spear, he jumped the big knife in the hand of the Liao general. Then he was killed with one shot, although everyone is in the realm of murderous stars, but in terms of strength, there is too much difference. Feng Ye inherited so many natal starlight from Xuanwu Qisu, but it was not a fraud.
"Fight with him, if you don't kill him, we will all die!" Yelu Derong, the commander of the Liao army, shouted angrily, raised the battle axe in his hand, and charged at the front.
He knew that Feng Ye had killed two people in a row, which had already filled the hearts of these Liao generals with fear. As long as Feng Ye is allowed to kill two or three more people, these generals can completely lose confidence. At this time, as the commander of the first army, he could only take the lead in the charge.
It's a pity that all this is in vain, the strength is not as good as others, no matter how unwilling you are, there is no way. Feng Ye shot out, and the hideous and ferocious dragon head behind him also bit the other party. With just one blow, the star god phantom of Yelu Derong was torn apart.
The generals of the Liao State who had just mustered up the courage to fight to the death saw that their main general was dead in the blink of an eye, but unfortunately it was too late to retreat at this time. The spear in Feng Ye's hand was like electricity, and three shots were fired in an instant, killing the three Liao generals.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the thirteen Liao generals were killed and wounded. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Liao generals turned their horses' heads and wanted to escape, but it was a pity that their speed could compare to Feng Ye's biochemical war horses?
At this time, the situation on the side of the Youyun Iron Cavalry was also one-sided, and all the Liao soldiers who dared to resist were killed by the Youyun Iron Cavalry. The rest of them are exhausted and don't dare to resist.
After counting the number of soldiers who surrendered, there were still more than 40,000. In one fell swoop, nearly 100,000 war horses were captured. Although there are still a lot of losses, this alone can be called a brilliant result.
If this is known to the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that those officials will have to make their eyes jealous. It's a huge fortune. Let those corrupt officials and corrupt officials use all kinds of shameless means, scrape the ground, and embezzle for a lifetime, and they will never get so much wealth.
The point is that they can't buy so many war horses with no amount of money. Why have the Great Song monarchs been bullied by the Liao State for so many years, isn't it because of the lack of horses? They want military horses and they are about to go crazy, but unfortunately they don't.
This is also because of the fact that these Liao soldiers are tired of being tired at this moment, otherwise where would these Liao soldiers have honestly surrendered? Even with the strength of the Youyun Iron Cavalry, in the face of tens of thousands of Liao soldiers who fled in all directions, they could only be helpless.
Weapons were collected, camps were set up, and horses were gathered. Today they can't rush back, even if they force these captives to hurry, those war horses can't stand it.
After repairing in place for a day, Feng Ye himself drove the horses to Liaoyang with a thousand people. The remaining two thousand Youyun Iron Horsemen, escorting the captives, slowly rushed to Shanhaiguan. At their speed, it would take at least four or five days to return to Shanhaiguan.
For such a long time, Feng Ye had enough time to collect the 120,000 infantry who were short of food.
Originally, there were only 100,000 infantry in Liao's expedition, but in order to hurry, Yelu Derong ordered 30,000 cavalry to attack Liaoyang on three horses, and then took all the remaining horses with him when he retreated. Among them, there were many cavalrymen, because they were not the descendants of the Liao nobles, and their horses were taken away, and they became infantry from cavalry.
In just three days, the 120,000 Liao army had already run out of food, and since those Liao generals were ready to let these people be outcasts, how could they leave too much grain and grass for them?
Sun Zhong, the general left behind by the Liao State, was originally a Tang man under the rule of the Liao State, and when he saw that the army was short of food and was about to mutiny, it was better to use the 120,000 army to sell it for a good price as his own step.
led the 120,000 army to surrender, and after the mutiny with the army, he went to surrender alone, the treatment is definitely very different, as long as you are not a fool, you can see which is more beneficial to you.
Therefore, that night, he announced to the generals of the army that the army was short of food, and the main general led the troops of his descendants to run away, and the generals who heard the news were excited. None of these people left behind have a background or relationship. I heard that the Lord had sold Jerod to glory. The original loyalty to the Liao State also disappeared suddenly.
Early the next morning, the last remaining 120,000 troops of the Liao State conquest army officially submitted the surrender table to Chen Da.
The surrender of the 120,000 army was not a trivial matter, Chen Da and Yang Chun did not dare to accept so many prisoners. I can only wait for Feng Ye to come back to deal with it.
At this point, the huge 300,000 conquest army of the Liao State disappeared and the whole army was annihilated.
