Chapter Seventy-Five: Epilogue

On the battlefield, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Many Khitan cavalry did not have time to get on their horses and escape, so they were sandwiched into sandwich biscuits by the Qi army infantry soldiers who were in a closed formation.

There was also a large group of cavalry, surrounded by the Qi army and horse army, and it was too late to escape before it fell into a bitter battle again.

And seeing that the banners of the Great and Steady Yelu Xidi were gradually moving north, this kind of battle almost became a one-sided massacre.

Han Deshu looked at the battlefield in front of him, his heart was bitter, according to reason, he should lead the whole army to attack and tear a way out for the cavalry of his Khitan tribe who fell into the Qi army.

However, all the soldiers were in danger, and they were afraid that no general would not understand that they had become cannon fodder abandoned by the Khitans.

He should probably raise his arms and lead the whole army to surrender, or even turn to intercept and kill Yelu Xidi and offer his name.

However, including his family, the relatives of the family members in the army are all in Liaodi, and if the army surrenders, the fate of the relatives can be imagined.

What's more, he was favored by the lord of Liao, his father was one of the most trusted ministers of Taizu, he was named the Duke of Lu, worshiped as the Southern Minister, and after his death, he was posthumously presented with Shangshu Ling, and his descendants inherited Chongwen Linggong.

He is a young man, less than twenty-one years old, was Taizong into the Tai Lieutenant, governing the Bohai State people, persuading agriculture and education, until Emperor Tianzan ascended the throne, did not like Nanchen, only to belittle him to come to Nanjing, however, he was originally convinced that sooner or later the Liao lord will still know that the division of the north and south advocated by the Nanchen does not mean that the southerners will be separated from Germany, but a good policy to stabilize the country and even make one day the lord of the country can enter the Central Plains.

But now, it seems, everything has become slim.

"Ling Gong ......" A young general beside him gritted his teeth, "Ling Gong, how about chasing and killing Yelu Xidi?!"

Han Deshu felt a pang in his heart, this young man in his early twenties is called Han Derang, and the two families are world friends.

Han Deshu's father Han Yanhui, and Han Derang's grandfather Han Zhigu, are the two most trusted ministers of Liao Taizu, Han Derang's father Han Kuangsi is a good friend of the Liao ancestors, and originally served as the deputy privy council of the Southern Privy Council and the envoy of the Wuding Army, but the ancestor died, and Han Kuangsi was demoted to the history of Confucianism.

Now, the four states of Xinzhou, including Confucianism, have all fallen into the hands of the Qi army, and Han Kuangsi's life and death are uncertain.

Han Deshu didn't expect that this young man would propose like this.

After all, if his father Han Kuangsi had died in the chaos, among the generals of the Qi State, he could be regarded as his father-killing enemy.

Although I have heard that this Han De makes the young man smart, he is influenced by his father and is wise and wise, and he is known to be eloquent, and it can also be seen in his own army that he is decisive in killing and killing, and he is a rare talent in governing the army.

But he didn't expect that he was cold-hearted, completely ignoring his father's situation, and was the first to propose against the water.

At this time, Han Derang looked at the generals around him, raised his voice, and the surrounding soldiers could also hear clearly: "Even if we all die here, can our wives and children in the north have a good end?" Now that we are helping the Lord of the Northern Expedition, we still have the day to say goodbye to our wives and children! ”

Some generals and soldiers looked hesitant, and some of them couldn't hold back and shouted: "Han Xiaoguan said it well!" "Yes, we're down!"

Han Derang raised his voice even more: "How can Khitan Hulu treat us?!" Even my ancestors and my father are in high danger, and my clan is a slave of Hulu, brothers, what about you?!"

This is even more about the pain points of many generals and soldiers, almost all of whom have experienced one or two experiences of being despised or oppressed by the Khitans.

Immediately, they all made loud noises.

Han Deshu smiled bitterly in his heart, this Derang nephew, although your family is indeed a slave of the Khitan royal family, but it is just a nominal identity, your grandfather is a left servant, and the later is higher in the middle of the book, your father was originally extremely important, but now he has been temporarily degraded, the so-called slave identity, only nominally, but now, it has been sung by you as a bitter meat trick.

"Ling Gong, look!" A general suddenly exclaimed.

But he saw that the Khitan army, which was retreating north with Yelu Xidi, was about a thousand people, many of whom had lost their horses, and followed the back of the team, fleeing in embarrassment.

But at this moment, from the direction of the mountain, a large group of rangers galloped and attacked with arrows.

"It's Qi Tianzi!" Han Derang gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword suddenly, "Brothers! We are also sons of the Han family! It's all Qi people! The Son of Heaven is chasing and killing the enemy chieftain, what should we do?! Haven't you seen you yet? Why didn't there be a Qi army attacking us, just thinking of the same clan! ”

Han Deshu smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart, "Virtuous nephew, when did you have the consciousness of being a son of the Han family?"

However, he can help himself, and it seems that his nephews and nephews in this world often read books from Qidi, and this set seems to be the theory of the Chinese clans that have recently emerged in Qidi.

What's more, he was not wrong, the Qi army did open the net, and kept ignoring himself and other southern army battle formations, of course, there were also several teams of cavalry eyeing him, obviously to prevent himself and others from joining the battle group to help the Khitans get out of trouble.

"Help the Holy Son of Heaven, kill the Khitan dog!" Han Derang raised his sword high and took the lead in shouting.

"Kill the Khitan dog! Kill the Khitan dog! The generals yelled.

Several of Han Deshu's cronies and generals, seeing that the commander was silent, knew how to take a closer look, waved their weapons and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, and today my Han family has defected in front of the battle!" Help the Holy Son of Heaven and kill the Khitan dog! ”

They took the lead in shouting, and they also said it to the Qi people, lest the army move, and the Qi people thought they were going to attack them, and took the lead in charging.

"Kill the Khitan dog!" "Kill the Khitan dog!"

Several generals took the lead in rushing out, and immediately pressed the foot soldiers, and many responded, following behind the main general, roaring angrily, chasing after the retreating Yeluxi.

There were also some Khitan cavalry who had just rushed out of the Qi army's array, but when they fled, they were led by a general to shoot arrows, and the arrows immediately rained down, blocking the retreat of these Khitan cavalry.

Of course, there are also more than half of the generals and soldiers, all of whom are panicked and at a loss, and can only resign themselves to fate.

……

In the midst of the screams, Yelu Xidi was guarding beside him, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse.

The nearly 1,000 light-bowed rangers who rushed out from behind the mountain were not too threatening if they were in a normal confrontation, but now they intercepted and killed the fleeing army, which was like a falcon chasing a lamb.

These riders, and each of them, shot straight at the Khitan cavalry retreating north.

There are one hundred and forty or fifty cavalry, and they chase straight behind Yelu Xidi, who is the aristocratic young man of the southern people in the brocade robe and jade crown, and the arrows are not in vain, and every time the slingshot is made, one or even several guards must fall off the horse.

There are fierce guards who are not afraid of death, and more than 100 horses are divided to drive them to fight for time to escape from the battlefield for Da Shensan and stability, but they are led by the nobleman in the brocade robe to shoot all the subordinates, and even failed to stop at all, the direction of the other party's pursuit has not changed at all, so they catch up straight, and the more than 100 guards who have been separated from each other, there are more than a dozen people who have staggered past them, and they have fallen off their horses, as if the nobleman in the brocade robe danced with arrows, and seven or eight guards were stabbed off the horse.

The guards behind Yelu Xidi became more and more scarce in the screams.

However, gradually, Yelu Xidi and more than a dozen personal guards, gradually left behind the other guards a distance, their crotch horses are extremely handsome, especially the snow-white horse that Yelu Xidi rides, and it is the first divine horse in the family in recent years.

Compared to ordinary horses, this snow-white horse is superior to both sprint and durability.

Lu Ning, who was chasing behind, was already frowning, and he was originally rushing out of the volley in the oblique stab, but he didn't want to be behind him, but he chased farther and farther.

Seeing that he had reached hundreds of steps away, gradually, only he could barely catch up behind.

Escaped by this guy like this?

Lu Ning gritted his teeth suddenly, and suddenly his body jerked forward.

The hills are strange, seeing that the dirt road is going from the farmland, Yelu Xi is even more attacked, running the real road, and the snow horse under his crotch can give full play to his strengths, and he will definitely be able to throw the Qi people away from the chasing soldiers.

It's just that where is there any sense of happiness in my heart, looking at today, I am afraid that my own people who can escape from the mouth of the Shenhe mouth may not be able to have two or three out of ten.

It was all tribal cavalry, but it was almost a war of annihilation, how did this fiasco come about, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

In particular, his family is illustrious, he has a lot of military exploits and reputation, and sooner or later he will be one of the kings of the north and south, but after today's defeat, I am afraid that King Tianzan will be angry, and his family will be implicated.

However, the Emperor of the Nanren, who was as brave as the legend, seemed to have experienced Yashi as a common thing to him, and he personally led a light horse to pursue him.

If just yesterday, if someone said that the emperor of the southerners led more than 100 light horsemen to chase and kill him, then he would definitely be happy to drink in the dark, how could there be such a beautiful thing? The Emperor of the Southerners allowed himself to wait for the hunt?

But now, he was terrified, and the guards beside him were not frightened, and the guards who fled on their horses exclaimed and asked, "Who is this Qi person?" ”

The nobles of the southern land with the brocade robe and jade crown rushed down from the location of Qi Tianzi's dragon banner again, so is there anyone else?

But Yelu Xidi ignored the exclamations of the guards, and galloped all the way, if he told the guards who he was? In the future, when these guards see the banner of Qiren, will they still have the courage to fight?

Fortunately, I have a real Maxima.

Yelu Xidi sighed in his heart, and also looked back to see how far the Emperor of Qiren and his pursuers had fallen.

But when he turned around, Yelu Xidi's eyes immediately widened in horror, but he saw that the terrifying figure in the brocade robe and jade belt had just crossed over from the horse and landed, and then, like a ghost, suddenly narrowed the distance between him and himself.

Then, an arrow burst through the air and let out a sharp howl, and slammed into front of his eyes.

He was so frightened that he didn't have time to think about it, his forehead suddenly cooled, and then the world went dark.

Seeing Yelu Xidi fall off the horse, Lu Ning was a little prostrated and held on to the small willow tree on the side of the loess road, at this time, if Yelu Xidi's guards came from Pegasus, he had no power to resist at all.

However, the frightened rabbits of the guards forgot to retrieve the large and stable corpses, and fled in all directions.

Waiting for the archers behind him to catch up, Lu Ning was already pacing leisurely beside Yelu Xidi's corpse.

……

At the end of September in the sixth year of Fengtian, the day before the beginning of winter, Qi Tianzi shot the famous Khitan general Yelu Xidi outside the city of Yunzhou, under the white mountain.
