Chapter 304: On the Taihang Mountain (3)
Yelu Xiaoshi is a standard Khitan, although his surname is Yelu, he can't fight with the royal family for 800 poles, just like the small in his name, he is destined to be just a small role, and it is not surprising that he will spend an ordinary life in the muddy. But the sky does not follow people's wishes, who knows that the calm days were broken by a group of madmen, who burned, killed and looted, did all kinds of evil, and everywhere they went, the earth was scorched. His parents were killed, his wife and daughter were taken captive, and if he hadn't been out for a living, he would not have escaped the clutches.
Since then, he has vowed to kill all these demons, these butchers, these bloodthirsty executioners, the Jurchens who thunder and thunder, and you have no ass eyes when you have children!
Later, Yelu Xiaoshi and many refugees from the Liao Kingdom entered the barracks and became a small soldier in the resentful army, although Guo Yaoshi later renamed the resentful army as the Changsheng Army, but the resentment in his heart had not yet had time to vent, and this group of dead Jurchens who could not kill the whole army actually subverted the Great Liao.
What can he do with a small soldier, he can only surrender to the Song Dynasty with Guo Yaoshi, and then start to slash the Liao people with Guo Yaoshi. Even if there are 10,000 unwilling, it can only be so, otherwise he will only die, but who will avenge his parents, wife and daughter. So he also put this account on the head of the Jurchens, and he will repay it twice as much in the future. After figuring it out, the knife in Yelu Xiaoshi's hand became more indifferent and sharper, and he slowly slashed out a general.
Today, he led 20,000 victorious troops to fight the vanguard to exterminate the bandits in Taihang Mountain. His task was to march to the poplar forest thirty miles ahead, rest in secret, and then march at night, rush to Taihang Mountain in the early morning, and attack while the thieves were still asleep.
Yelu Xiaoshi also hated the Song people in his heart, they took advantage of the fire to rob Youzhou, and they waved knives at their compatriots, and today they used the heads of the Song people to wash away the humiliation in his heart, and waited until the Song and Jin went to war, and then avenged the deep hatred.
Guo Shuai is Yelu Xiaoshi's guide, he has been to Taihang Mountain three times, although each time he is blindfolded, but with a keen sense of direction, he can still feel the approximate location of the headquarters of the Taihang Mountain Bandits. Today he rode next to Yelu Xiaoshi, with a smile on his gloomy face, chatting with Yelu Xiaoshi with or without a match, occasionally praising each other, both of them looked up to the sky and laughed, which was very useful.
Yelu Xiaoshi led all the infantry, and except for the generals, the rest of the soldiers had to walk to the poplar forest on two legs. He estimated that the road was less than ten miles, and when he looked up and saw that the sun was almost noon, although the soldiers were tired, resting in this great plain was equivalent to basking in the sun, and it was better to march quickly and rest again in the poplar forest.
He immediately gave the order, and the team ran forward, reached the poplar forest by noon, and rested.
An army of 20,000 galloped all the way to the poplar forest. This poplar forest is so lush and so numerous that 20,000 people hiding in it are like a fish in the sea, and they will not be detected at all. The poplar forest grows on the slope, and the opposite side of the forest is the plain of a flat river, and the Taihang Mountain is to walk dozens of miles through the poplar forest.
The sweaty Changsheng army urgently needed to enter the woods to rest, and now the formation was also out of order, and everyone wanted to enter the woods first and rush uphill. At this time, only a cannon was heard, and many cavalry appeared in the woods, and they came down the slope, waving their swords in their hands, and roaring.
Yelu Xiaoshi was stunned at first, didn't Pharmacist Guo say that the thief had been confused by him and had no sense of precaution at all? Where did so many cavalry come from? Immediately after he reacted, they were bewitched by the thieves and ambushed. There is no way to retreat behind him, a horse and a flat plain, people can't run off the horse, only struggle to resist.
He shouted: "Brothers, do not panic, the soldiers who are together are free to form themselves and join forces against the cavalry!" ”
In the Great Plains, if the infantry does not form a formation, they will only be slaughtered if they encounter the cavalry. There are 2,000 veterans in this group of victorious soldiers, who have experienced the baptism of war, and they reacted quickly and immediately organized the surrounding soldiers to form a temporary formation, but the effect was greatly reduced in the haste.
In just an instant, the armies on both sides were covered in dust, and the screams in the dust, the sound of broken bones, the cries, and the sound of weapons colliding together came and went, and the chaos was like purgatory in hell.
It felt like a long, difficult time, and the dust was slowly falling.
Yelu Xiaoshi could see the dead bodies all over the ground, the blood all over the ground was like a red carpet spread on the ground, and the soldiers with broken arms and legs were rolling, crawling, wriggling, and howling on the red carpet. But Yelu Xiaoshi did not have time to feel sorry for them, and he saw that the cavalryman who had killed one of them had turned his horse's head and was ready to charge again. Again, how many people are still alive?
Yelu Xiaoshi crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he could find a glimmer of life in the battlefield, and he suddenly shouted: "Brothers! Rush into the woods and rely on the terrain to resist the thieves! ”
Seeing the life, they rushed towards the broken woods with a loud shout, and about fifty paces away from the woods, suddenly a rain of arrows covered the charging Changsheng, and the victorious army in front had turned into hedgehogs.
Damn! Are there ambushes in the woods?
There is no way, the only way to avoid the rain of arrows is to lie on the ground, but lying on the ground is a different way to die, and the rumbling horse's hooves will turn into meat puree after the rumbling sound of horses' hooves. Reading Building
Both horizontal and vertical are dead, and there is only one way to die if you can't attack the woods, so Yelu Xiaoshi ordered to charge into the woods at any cost. Then the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the cloud of dust began to cover from behind their buttocks.
When the dust fell again, Yelu Xiaoshi couldn't look directly at the scene, this was the slaughterhouse. Less than a tenth of the soldiers were alive, and they all looked in panic at the blood-stained cavalry on the opposite side, carrying blood-drenched knives, quietly looking at the victorious army that was about to become a ghost under the sword.
What to do?
Yelu Xiaoshi, who was at a loss, suddenly heard shouts of surrender and not kill from among the cavalry. He suddenly patted his forehead and said secretly: "I've been nervous for a long time, how can I forget the surrender?" I, Yelu Xiaoshi, were born to kill the Jurchens, and I can't throw my life here! ”
He discarded his gun and knelt down and shouted, "Surrender!" We surrender! ”
So the living victorious army imitated Yelu Xiaoshi's movements, which were simple and effective, so they survived.
The entire army was wiped out, and none of the 20,000 people escaped the net. Yelu Xiaoshi was extremely depressed, he was originally going to sneak attack others, but in the end he was attacked by others, damn Guo Yaoshi, what you gave me is all fake news, who said that the thief was confused by you, and it is true that you were confused by the thief! I blame myself for being too careless!
No matter how much you regret it, it is a fact that you were captured by thieves. He is a Khitan warrior, he will not be stupid enough to be a martyr of the Song Dynasty, he wants to survive to take revenge, even if he dies, he will die in the battle of slashing and killing the Jurchens. Therefore, he was very cooperative with the interrogation, answered all questions, and told Pei Xuan, who interrogated him, all the information he knew, so that Pei Xuan easily thought that what he got was fake news.
After the interrogation was completed, Pei Xuan said: "Yelu Xiaoshi, it stands to reason that the Jin people are the enemies of your Khitan people, since you surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, you should be a good soldier of the Great Song Dynasty in peace and stability, why colluded with the Jin people to try to make me Taihang the righteous army?" Don't you know that cooperating with the greedy and murderous golden people is aiding and abetting abuse? In the end, both of us are losers, and Jin is the real winner! You soft bones! ”
Yelu Xiaoshi's eyes widened, as if he had heard a big joke, and he stood up violently and asked, "What did you say?" Who colluded with the Golden Man? You make it clear! ”
"Get on your knees!"
The two guards forcibly pressed him down, Yelu Xiaoshi also calmed down a lot, he stared at Pei Xuan and said, "Please make it clear!" ”
Pei Xuan couldn't figure out if this guy knew the inside story, so he simply put him in the army and said: "Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid!" Pharmacist Guo used Zhao'an as a pretext to confuse us, and cooperating with the Jin people to flank our Taihang Righteous Army in the north and south is the real goal. If my guess is correct, tonight the Jin soldiers will march quickly and attack our army in the early morning. Their purpose is the same as yours, just one south and one north! ”
"How so? How so? ”
Yelu Xiaoshi muttered to himself as if he had lost a child. Suddenly, he calmed down, looked up and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" ”
"How could it be a lie? Our scouts have made things clear. ”
Pei Xuan said solemnly: "The golden snake and scorpion disciple coveted my great Song Dynasty for a long time, and sooner or later he will definitely raise troops to attack my Bianliang." But our Taihang Mountain Righteous Army is their roadblock, if they enter the Song Realm, they will always worry that we will give him a stick. Therefore, the current joint action is to pave the way for the Jin people to invade themselves in the future, do you say this is for the tiger? I estimate that Guo Yaoshi has already had the heart to invest in gold, he is a dog who wags his tail to his future owner in advance! ”
"Hahahaha......"
Yelu Xiaoshi suddenly laughed wildly, then stood up irritably, and scolded violently under the pressure of the guards: "Pharmacist Guo, Lao Tzu is blind and follows the wrong master!" You villain who has forgotten the hatred of your ancestors! I'm going to chop you and the Jurchen demons into eight pieces! ”
As if he was tired of scolding, the hatred in Yelu Xiaoshi's eyes slowly shifted to his face, turning into a terrifying and hideous smile, he raised his head and said loudly: "My lord, I want to see the big master, I have a clever plan to defeat the Jin people!" ”
