With Yelu Hongzhen's words, all the soldiers of the Liao army on the city tower laid down their weapons one after another, and all the captives, including Yelu Hongzhen, were pressed down by the soldiers of the imperial court and temporarily imprisoned in the prison of Baishan City.

At this time, Lin Zhanjie and Ren Changqing, under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, walked up to the city tower, looked at the soldiers cheering on the city tower with a smile, and announced loudly: "Soldiers, our Baishan City is back again!" The governor of Pontus will ask the emperor for credit to the soldiers, and the court will not forget the bloody sacrifice of every soldier! Now, we have to clean up the battlefield, quickly regain the lost territory, and announce the people who are hiding in the mountains nearby, so that they can hurry back to their homes, and there will be peaceful days in the future! ”

The soldiers present ・・・・・・ all applauded happily, cheering one after another, and everyone's face was filled with happy and proud smiles.

Ren Changqing stood silently on the city tower, looking around at the tragic scene around him with a heavy heart. I saw that the city tower was full of the corpses of the Liao soldiers who had been blown away, with severed limbs, stumps, heads, and blood-stained stones piled up all over the city tower, and a small number of the corpses were soldiers of the imperial court. There was blood and corpses everywhere, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy when he was a battle-hardened person who was used to seeing dead corpses.

How many families have lost their sons and husbands in this war, and how will the remaining orphans and widows survive? I don't know how the imperial court should appease the sacrificed soldiers, and how to soothe the broken and desolate hearts of the families of the fallen soldiers?

I'm afraid that this time I'm going to enter Yidu to ask the emperor for guilt, and his life and death honor and disgrace can be completely put aside, but what should the 30,000 soldiers who sacrificed be counted? There has to be a saying, right?

Ren Xiaohang quietly accompanied the uncle, watching the soldiers on the city tower cheer and consciously clean up the battlefield. The soldiers carried down the bodies of the fallen soldiers with desolate expressions, and their faces were no longer happy just now. They carefully placed the bodies of the soldiers on the empty square under the road to the city, and the solemn atmosphere infected everyone present. Some of the soldiers who had a good relationship with the fallen soldiers had tears in their eyes, and they endured it so that they did not fall.

Lin Zhanjie walked up to Ren Changqing with a solemn expression and said, "General Ren." I will explain to the emperor your distress at that time, because you were already poisoned at that time, and you were rescued by the soldiers so that you did not die on the spot. As for the traitor you said, I'm afraid it's not easy to do. Because there is no trace of Meng Qingwei now. There is no one who can prove that Meng Qingwei is the traitor. Even your lieutenant Wu Dingyuan's whereabouts are unknown, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.

I have sent 800 li to expedite to the emperor to explain the details of this battle, and I have written clearly what happened before and after in my fold, and the emperor will give you an explanation. “

"Ren Xie Lin Du Du Gao Yi! If Ren can defend himself in front of the emperor, it will be enough to comfort those sacrificed soldiers! Because they gave their lives for the court and for the people. Although they are still glorious in death, they can also sleep with a smile under the nine springs. Ren Changqing bent down and bowed deeply to Lin Zhanjie to express his heartfelt gratitude.

At this time, Ren Xiaohang suddenly said, "Why hasn't Captain Li Xiguang come back yet?" Is there a change in them? They should know about such a loud noise, because the North City Gate has been taken over by us, and it is impossible for them not to know it! ”

Lin Zhanjie's face was also stern, yes, it stands to reason that Li Xiguang and they should be back, why haven't they been seen yet? I just wanted to call the guards to see what was going on. I saw a war horse galloping from the direction of the north city gate, and the person on the horse was Zhang Tianhu's personal soldier.

The soldier jumped off his horse, respectfully saluted everyone present, and said: "My subordinates have seen the governor, the two generals, the governor of Binglin, and the commander Li ordered his subordinates to send a letter to the governor, we are waiting for a fat sheep, I am afraid it will come soon, let the governor cooperate with them to plant the military flag of the Liao State in the city gate tower." ”

"Oh? What's going on? In detail. Not only Lin Zhanjie was interested, but Ren Changqing and Ren Xiaohang also looked at their soldiers in surprise. Want to hear what's going on.

It turned out that when Li Xiguang and the others were ambushing on the cliff, the north gate of the city was wide open, and a Liao army of about 100 people appeared. At the head was none other than the great prince Yelu Hongzhen's confidant lieutenant general Balin.

Li Xiguang has been to Liao in recent years, and he has a certain understanding of the royal family of Liao, so he naturally knows Bahrain that appeared under the cliff. The cliff heard the movement to the south very clearly, and knew that Lin Dudu had begun to attack the city. If Yelu Hongzhen knew that the imperial army had new weapons, he would definitely have no confidence in defending Baishan City. Bahrain is obviously going to the country to move rescue troops, should they let him go or intercept him?

Zhang Tianhu on the side saw that Li Xiguang was slow to give an order. Hurriedly whispered, "Captain Lin, what are you waiting for?" Give the order! ”

"Nope! Let him go, no one will make a move, otherwise military law will be engaged! Li Xiguang had an idea in an instant, and immediately ordered.

Seeing that Zhang Tianhu and several subordinates were looking at him, Li Xiguang stared at the Bahrain group who were far away, and said, "Do you want to hunt for fat sheep?" Liao is always a thief, let's fight him so that he never wants to invade the Central Plains again, so we have to let him remember it for a long time! ”

When Zhang Tianhu heard this, he immediately understood Li Xiguang's intentions, and said happily: "Okay, pro-soldiers, go and tell Governor Lin to tell them not to worry, let's catch a fat sheep and go back." “

The pro-soldier promised to hurry to the order, and there was a scene at this moment.

Lin Zhanjie happily said to his soldiers: "Sue Sù Li Duwei, we are waiting for good news here." ”

After the pro-soldiers who gave the order left, Lin Zhanjie saw Ren Xiaohang's eager appearance, so he smiled and said: "Okay, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, General Ren will lead another 10,000 people to ambush on the top of the cliff in the east, and when the fat sheep enters the pocket, don't let me go if I hit a lamb on both sides!" ”

"Yes! The last will obey! Ren Xiaohang happily gave a military salute and happily went to dispatch troops.

Li Xiguang quickly learned about Ren Xiaohang's ambush on the top of the opposite cliff, and he had a greater grasp of this ambush in his heart. The reason why he let Bahrain go to deliver the letter was because he wanted to solve the border matter once and for all, so that the people of the Daye Dynasty would no longer suffer from the trampling of the Liao army's iron hooves.

The 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao army have all been buried in Baishan City, and there are 150,000 troops in the Liao State who can go out to fight. However, the Liao Emperor would not be fully involved, and he had to leave behind an army that was enough to save his life. This reinforcement, it would be good to be able to come with 50,000. If these 50,000 yuan are lost here again, and the news that the eldest prince Yelu Hongzhen was captured by the imperial court and the imperial court has new weapons is known to the emperor of Liao, I am afraid that he will never dare to invade the Central Plains again, and the people on the border will be able to live a peaceful life for decades.

No matter what promotions he will have after this war, it is estimated that he will also stay in the army, and if a few children cannot stay in the army with him, they will definitely still live here. He wanted to create a relatively stable living environment for his children, so that they would no longer be displaced by the war.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the two soldiers on the tree shouting almost in unison: "Captain Lin, here!" Good guys, there are quite a few people, at least 50,000 people! ”

Li Xiguang gave an order in a low voice: "Prepare for battle!" (To be continued.) )
