Shi Yi stared intently at the head of Li Che held in the hands of a Khitan cavalryman in front of him.

The Khitan cavalry on the opposite side had a flattering and smug smile on his face.

Li Che's head, the supreme commander of the German army, with this head alone, he should be able to get a large reward!

When he was full of longing, he didn't notice the ugly face of the tribal leader on the side, Yeluqi.

The next moment, Shi Yi had already flown up with a kick, kicked this Khitan cavalry to the ground, without saying a word, pulled out the knife of a general next to him with his backhand, and slashed at the Khitan cavalry in the air.

With a bang, a scimitar stretched out next to him, blocking Shi Yi's horizontal knife.

Shi Yi Huo Ran looked back, the person who shot his horizontal knife was Ye Luqi, seeing that Shi Yi's face was wrong, he had already been vigilant in his heart.

As soon as Yeluqi's scimitar was struck, his neck was immediately pressed against the neck by the horizontal knives of the other two Lu Long generals.

Shi Yi sneered: "Yeluqi, do you want to rebel?"

Jerichie threw the scimitar in his hand and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Jerichie didn't dare. But General Shi, this is a well-known warrior of my Siddan Division, and he has been bravely advancing in the first few battles, and he is always there every time he breaks through the formation of the Bundesliga." Yeluch turned around and tore the clothes of the panicked Khitan cavalry who fell to the ground with a thud, revealing scars all over his body.

"General Shi, please allow him to atone for his crimes."

Shi Yi smiled: "Before the war, how did I explain to you, Li Che, I want to live, no matter how big the loss, I will live, and now you have killed him, this is a blatant violation of military orders. Yeluqi, you yourself are also the general who commands the army, what is the crime of violating military orders, don't you know? He has a reward, and this general will naturally not be missing him, and when you go back, his reward will naturally be rewarded and brought back by you to his family. But if he violates the military order, then damn it. In Lu Long's army, there is no such thing as making meritorious contributions to crimes."

Jerich's lips twitched a few times, and finally he bowed his head.

It was only at this time that the Khitan cavalry finally realized why he brought back the head of the other party's supreme general, and it was not the reward that greeted him but the steel sword. Immediately shouted loudly.

"Wronged, I didn't kill him, Li Che didn't kill me."

Shi Yi had fought against the Khitans for a long time, and he could generally understand what this guy was shouting.

"You didn't kill it? Is there any use in quibbling at this point?" Having said that, the horizontal knife in Shi Yi's hand finally stopped.

Seeing the turn of events, the Khitan cavalry's speed of speech became faster and faster, and this time Shi Yike couldn't understand it, and looked at Yeluqi with a frown.

"General Shi, he said, they found Li Che in a peach grove on the border with Zhang Wu, and when they found him, he was already dead. and the knights who were with him, all dead. They just cut off Li Che's head and came back, they didn't talk about it before, they just wanted to get a little more credit." Yeluqi hurriedly translated for Shi Yi.

Shi Yi was stunned when he heard this, looking at the appearance of the Khitan cavalry, it didn't seem to be lying, he made a look, and immediately a general walked out, and there were more than a dozen Khitan cavalry who came back with this Khitan cavalry. They don't know what's going on in the house now, so they just have to go out for a trial and know everything.

Throwing the knife back to the generals beside him, Shi Yi asked: "You are also a veteran, when you saw this person, since he was already dead, how could you tell how he died?"

The Khitan cavalry escaped death at the moment, but the sweat on his face was still dripping, trying to recall the scene at that time.

"More than a dozen people died in that peach forest, and six or seven of them died under the bow and arrow." Speaking of this, there was a look of horror on his face, and he was also good at shooting, but after seeing those armor soldiers who were killed by arrows, he only felt incredible." The archer was so powerful that the feather arrow broke through the iron armor of the armor and killed him with one arrow."

Shi Yi was also surprised, how powerful those elite armor cavalry around Li Che were, he had fully understood it in the past few days of war, and it was the most elite group of people in Chengde. was killed by someone with an arrow, and the feather arrow broke through the armor and still had such lethality, it was no longer an ordinary archer.

"What about Li Che? Was killed by an arrow?"

"It's not! He was killed by a sword." This Khitan cavalryman was obviously familiar with the standard weapons of the Tang army, "Li Che's horse lance was cut in two, and the armor on his body was cut open from it, but the fatal wound was in the throat, and he died after the tip of the saber was cut through the throat."

Shi Yi took a deep breath.

On the ground of Zhang Wu, at that time, there should be only one armed force, and that is Liu Chenglin's horizontal navy. But he has fought with Liu Chenglin's subordinates, and he has never seen such a marksman under Liu Chenglin's subordinates, and although Liu Chenglin's kung fu is powerful, he is good at using a gun, not a saber.

Could it be that there is a third party force present?

Or did Zhu Shou send another man to the scene?

But this possibility is very small, if Zhu Shou wants Lu Long and Chengde to fight endlessly, so if he wants to kill Li Che so that the grudge between the two sides can no longer be resolved, he just has to let Liu Chenglin do it, why take off his pants and fart, and do more? But if there is a third party, who will it be? What is their purpose?

Shi Yi couldn't think of it.

Now the result is that Li Che is dead, which has a huge impact on Lu Longjiedu's entire strategic plan for Zhang Zhongwu. Li Che died, which can be described as a major loss for Lu Long. Although this battle was a great success in terms of tactics and hit the main force of Chengde hard, from a strategic point of view, it was not won at all.

Because then Chengde will desperately resist Lu Longjun because of Li Che's death.

Lu Long's original idea was to capture Li Che alive. This time, Li Che's only breakthrough possibility is to flee to Zhang Wu and escape to Liu Chenglin's army, but the final result will not be the same, Henghai will still hand Li Che into Lu Long's hands.

Zhang Zhongwu made Zhang Zhongwu to Henghai Jiedu make Zhu Shou understand the bones, as long as Chengde is defeated, Zhu Shou will inevitably become the grass on the wall, and when the wind blows, it will fall to Lu Long. And that's exactly what happened. Shi Yi left an opening in the direction of Zhangwu, which was to induce Li Che to break through in that direction, because in this way, the possibility of him capturing Li Che alive was greatly increased, if Li Che desperately broke through with the army, in the chaos of the battle, no one could guarantee that Li Che would be able to be caught alive. And let Li Che run in the direction of Zhang Wu, with the help of Liu Chenglin's strength, it is easier to catch a living Li Che.

A living Li Che has great value.

Now that Li Che is dead, all the plans have come to naught.

Shi Yi sat behind the big case dejectedly, waved his hand, and signaled the Khitan soldier to retreat, and the Khitan soldier who escaped death dared to ask for a reward at this time, so he ran out with a roll.

Turning to look at the map hanging on the wall behind him, Shi Yi sighed again.

From the very beginning, the festival marshal Zhang Zhongwu did not take the so-called union of the three festival envoys in his eyes. After the news came out, Lu Long just sent a messenger, and under the threat and temptation, he easily rebelled against Wang Feng, the envoy of Zhenwu Jiedu. Over the years, Wang Feng has been beaten by Zhang Zhongwu in a series of conflicts with Lu Long.

Zhu Shou, the Henghai Festival, is a typical wall-head grass that is cheap and runs when he encounters setbacks, so among the three festivals, the only thing that makes Zhang Zhongwu feel difficult to deal with is Chengde.

The elite army of Chengde is rich in the place, Zhang Zhongwu has coveted it for a long time, and more importantly, if he can take Chengde, then it will pose a huge threat to Gao Yu in Hedong. If Chengde falls to Lu Long as a whole, Lu Long's strength can form a huge threat to Gao Yu's weakest force. Let Gao Yu take care of one thing and lose the other, and failure is almost a sure thing.

But it is not an easy thing to win Chengde quickly. Even if the main force of Chengde was eliminated in Hejian Province, in terms of Chengde's war potential, they could quickly mobilize a considerable number of troops and horses. Even if the field ability is insufficient, it will consume too much time to let Lu Long fight city by city, and once the time is delayed for too long, Gao Biao will be able to respond in time, and even the imperial court will immediately intervene.

Once a stalemate is formed, it will be absolutely unfavorable for Lu Long. The current imperial court must still have the name of righteousness, and the imperial court has defined Lu Long as a thief. If Lu Long couldn't defeat Hedong, the greatest help of the imperial court in the north, with lightning speed, the situation in the future would be difficult to say.

Li Che is the only son of Li Anguo and the only successor of the Li family, this is if Lu Long can be sure how to capture Li Che alive, he can coerce Li Anguo to form an alliance with Lu Long, as long as this situation is formed, the Khitan cavalry under the control of Zhang Zhongwu can pass through Chengde and quickly smash the rear of Hedong, supplemented by Wang Feng's Zhenwu army and Chengde's re-recruited army, how can Gao Yu be undefeated.

But now that Li Che is dead, everything is in vain. Is it strange that Li Anguo, who lost his beloved son, doesn't fight hard with Lu Long?

ordered someone to properly pack up Li Che's head, and ordered someone to bring another Chengde general, Wang Mingren, who was captured alive in the breakout battle.

Wang Mingren, who was tied up with five flowers, straightened up and stood in front of Shi Yi.

"Do you want to die or live?" Shi Yi asked.

"Nonsense, of course I want to live." Wang Mingren answered neatly.

Shi Yi shrugged his eyebrows: "If you want to live, there is only one way, surrender!"

"Okay!" Wang Mingren happily surprised all the generals in the tent, and even Shi Yi was a little surprised.

"Let me go back, I will persuade our Li Jiedu to lead Chengde to defect to Lu Long, even if Li Jiedu does not agree, I am sure to persuade my uncle to defect to you Lu Long." Wang Mingren said happily.

Shi Yi's eyebrows were twisted together, and he looked at Wang Mingren for a long time before he said slowly, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"If you don't believe me, why do you ask me?" Wang Mingren laughed.

"Hold on!" Shi Yi roared angrily.

Without waiting for the soldiers to come up, Wang Mingren turned around and left, walked a few steps, but turned back again, looked at Shi Yi, and showed a sad look on his face: "Major General, is he already dead?"

Shi Yi was silent.

This man is too smart.

Looking at Shi Yi's reaction, Wang Mingren looked up to the sky and let out a long snort, striding out of the tent.
