It's like hunting in the mountains with a tribal warrior, and the prey will not fall into a trap by its own will. At this point, they need to be given some means to force them to follow the established route until they fall into a trap or encirclement. It was the same at this moment, when Jericha refused to act, he fed him some bait and forced him to go.

The bait was a fierce attack on the ferry. Wanyan Aguda divided 50,000 cavalry to attack the Liao army that crossed the river, making a huge noise. Obviously, he could crush and defeat the 30,000 Liao cavalry who crossed the river, but Wanyan Aguda told the generals who led the army to attack that they were not allowed to fight a quick battle, and they must pretend to advance and retreat, and once the other party did not support, they would give them hope and not let them collapse. Make sure they have a chance of victory, and it seems like a little more effort will make it feel like they're going to hold the ferry, so they will call for help.

The object of their request for help could not be the soldiers and horses north of the riverbank, but only from Yelucai. Unless Yelucai ignored him, he could only quickly lead his army to the ferry to get closer to support. Yelucai would probably also think that all his soldiers and horses were attacking the ferry, and he could not imagine that the Jurchen cavalry could lurk in the wilderness under the bright moon without a trace. In the wilderness leading to the ferry, a trap was dug for them.

……

Yelucai is a cautious and cautious person, and he can become the commander of the soldiers and horses in the north of Daliao, largely because of his status as the eldest prince. And it is also thanks to the current situation in Daliao.

The Great Liao entered a chaotic situation, the people in the country were panicked, and the leaders of the tribes were also ready to move. The rebellion of the Jurchens shook the entire Liao situation, and in this case, the right to lead the Liao army could not be given to anyone casually. In addition to the soldiers and horses in the south who could be handed over to the commander Han Desui who could be trusted and had a marriage relationship, the soldiers and horses in the north were handed over to his two sons by Yelu Zongyuan. This is the safest and safest way to do it, at this time, except for his own son and absolute cronies, Yelu Zongyuan will not be able to trust anyone. If the army falls into the wrong hands, it will hasten the demise of the Great Liao.

Yelucai clearly knew how he became the privy envoy of the Northern Privy Council, and he also understood what his ability was. So when he arrived at the battlefield with his army, he told himself not to think about making meritorious contributions alone and taking the initiative to attack the Jurchens. What you have to do is very simple, don't take risks, join forces with Yeluchun's cavalry, attack the Jurchens with superior forces and achieve victory, and relieve the danger of Xingzhongfu. If you do this, you will make a meritorious service, and don't think about such an unrealistic thing as annihilating the Jurchen army alone.

Because of this, he was stationed thirty miles away from the Jurchen army, and ordered strict precautions and early warning. He didn't even choose to rush to the ferry thirty miles away overnight to join Yeluchun's soldiers and horses crossing the river. Because he didn't want to take any risks.

However, when the news of the ferry being attacked by the Jurchens came, Yelucai could not sit idly by. Although he wanted to do this, he did not dare to disobey his father's strict orders. In the order given to the two brothers, Yelu Cai and Yelu Chun, Yelu Zongyuan had clearly told them that they must coordinate and cooperate with each other and support each other in the rescue. It is absolutely not allowed to see death without help,

Otherwise, there will be no mercy. The two brothers knew their father's temper, and he said that if he killed, he would never spare it. At this point, both Yelucai and Yeluchun are very clear in their hearts.

Therefore, the ferry port was attacked, and he was only thirty miles away, and if he did not rescue him, he would be blamed by his father afterwards. The father is not something that can be offended casually, it is almost equivalent to a dead end. Therefore, Yelucai was forced to reluctantly lead the army on the journey to the ferry.

Yelucai also sent troops and horses to explore the way, but no news came. It's not that the scouts are incompetent, no matter how well they are hidden, there will be flaws, and they will be discovered by people nearby. It's just that when these scout cavalry noticed something was wrong, they couldn't go back, because they were already in the tiger's mouth. All the scout cavalry were slaughtered, and none of them were able to report back. Yelucai sent several scouts, nearly 300 scout cavalry, all of whom disappeared into the vast darkness.

Although Yelucai wondered, he couldn't stop because of this situation. You can't just stand still just because the scout cavalry hasn't come back to report the news, and this reason is unjustifiable. In the direction of crossing the river, the sky-high distress fireworks rose into the sky one after another, and it seemed that it was a very urgent time, and he couldn't dwell on this matter, so he could only order the soldiers and horses to speed up and advance in the direction of the ferry.

The first twenty miles were safe, the ferry was in sight, and the shouts of killing and the light of the fire were already faintly audible. The distance of ten miles is not a long distance at all in the eyes of the cavalry. Although it was a night march, with the moon in the sky and the ground was not rugged, it would definitely be reached in half an hour. Therefore, all the worries and worries in Yelucai's heart have been eliminated.

Halfway through the third watch, the 30,000 cavalry of the Liao army trotted into a long grass terrain that seemed to be a little rugged. It seems to be surrounded by undulating grassy slopes, and there are several roads in the middle that are more than ten zhang wide and flat. The cavalry subconsciously chose this flat road, and the 30,000 cavalry automatically divided into six or seven columns, scattered across the wilderness separated by miles. One of the soldiers and horses in front of him, a captain of the Liao cavalry seemed to feel a little strange about the undulating dirt bags next to him, because he found that the turf bulged out in a very regular way, as if it were artificial. Moreover, it was not an illusion, he always felt that these turf slopes seemed to tremble slightly. He thought he had been dazzled, and in order to verify the matter, he rode away from the group and came aside, stretched his neck and stared, leaned into a long grass in front of him, and ruffled the blades of grass with his long knife.

Suddenly, his mouth opened wide and his hairs stood on end, as he saw a pair of shining eyes in the grass glaring back at him. In an instant, he was so frightened that he opened his mouth and screamed.

"Ahh The Liao cavalry captain shouted, and with his shout, he heard a thunderclap, and a white feathered arrow shot out from the bulge, striking him right in the center of his eyebrow. The captain's shouting stopped abruptly only halfway, for the powerful arrow pierced directly into his brain and took his life. His body fell to the sky and fell from his horse.

"Kill!" A terrible cry sounded, and the turf in front of the dead Liao rode open, and a tall figure stood in the moonlight. At the same time, a war horse beside him neighed and jumped and shook off

The turf on the body. The tall figure jumped and was already on the horse.

The bulging position where the captain ran to spy on him was the hiding place of Wanyan Aguda. Wanyan Agu was tall and tall, and he looked like an outlier compared to other Jurchens. At this moment, the horizontal knife immediately rose, like a necromantic knight crawling out of the ground, his body was pitch black, and the meniscus knife in his hand was black. Wanyan Aguda originally wanted to hide for a while longer, so that more people could enter the ambush range, but the good guy used a long knife to break the turf and glanced at him. Wanyan Aguda had to shoot him with a short crossbow and showed up.

But in fact, it is already a good time to launch an attack at this moment, and the opponent's 30,000 soldiers and horses are naturally divided, and they have all entered the ambush circle, and everything is already perfect.

As Wanyan Aguda's roar sounded, a long horn sounded in the field. Under the horrified gaze of the Liao cavalry, on the grass in front of and behind them, among the raised hills, countless Jurchens emerged from the ground like living dead. Before they could understand what was going on, the 30,000 Liao cavalry had already fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Jurchen cavalry.

The Jurchens launched a surprise attack. The Jurchens, who were several times larger than the enemy, let out a strange cry in their mouths, and with a strangely shaped meniscus knife in hand, they launched a fierce charge at the Liao cavalry, who were divided into several teams, at a loss. The Jurchens are different from the Liao, the first thing the Liao cavalry thinks of when they encounter a strong enemy is to wander and shoot the opponent, but although the Jurchens are also nomadic people, their combat style is very different from that of the Liao. It was also due to the different living environment, in order to survive, the Jurchens wandered between the mountains and forests all day long, facing fierce prey in the mountains. Once the traces of prey are found, at the last moment, it is often a ferocious fight to pounce. Many Jurchens have had the experience of fighting tigers, leopards and bears in the mountains. The coming-of-age ceremony of some Jurchen tribes even had a young man about to come of age fight and kill a captured live boar. You must know that the wild boar is no less than a lion and tiger beast, and it will go crazy like a crazy locomotive and will kill people. It was in this way that the Jurchens proved that a teenager had the ability to catch prey, and that he had the ability to fight with beasts of prey after encountering them in the mountains and forests.

Although the Liao cavalry is strong, it depends on who it is compared with. Compared with the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, the Liao cavalry is a nightmare-like existence. However, compared with the Jurchens, the Liao cavalry was as vulnerable as a weak patient. Not to mention in the case of being attacked and besieged. Even in a normal battle, the Liao cavalry was by no means an opponent of a comparable number of Jurchens. The time of the Liao State is decades longer than that of the Great Zhou, and it is a good thing to rise to the peaceful years, but there has been no war for a long time, and they have learned all kinds of bad problems of the Great Zhou, and the Liao people who live comfortably and exquisitely have long lost the strength of the vertical and horizontal cavalry shooting on the grassland. Generations have passed, and one generation is no longer as good as the next. This is also one of the reasons why the warriors of thousands of tribes in Wanyan Agu have not been wiped out in the past three years, but have grown so strong. It is one of the confidence of Wanyan Agu to dare to compete for the world with cavalry. Wanyan Agu clearly saw the weakness of the Liao soldiers' combat effectiveness, and he dared to show his ambitions to the world.
