Chapter 3: Bloody Rain
At night, strong winds blew, and the tents were blown with the sound of wolves. Yelu Longyun coaxed the boulder to sleep and paced in the tent, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, people shouted that horses neighed, the fire flashed, and a black dragon army hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Lord Wang, it's not good, there are hundreds of Song troops surrounding our camp, and they will kill people when they see them." ”
Yelu Longyun was surprised: "How is it possible? How could there be so many Song troops? ”
The Black Dragon Army said, "These people don't look like rebels and thieves, but they seem to be coming at us. As soon as the words fell, several arrows were shot into the tent.
Jerulong asked, "Where is Jerod?" ”
The Black Dragon Army replied, "He, he's still drinking in the tent." ”
Yelu Longyun cried out, "What! He's still drinking! ”
Dashi was awakened by the noise and shouted, "Dad, Dad, what's wrong?" ”
Yelulong used his body to protect Dashi, stroked Dashi's little head, and said, "Dashi, good boy, we play a game of hide and seek, you hide under the carpet and don't move, you can only come out if your father calls you." ”
Oishi replied, "Well, yes, that's fun." ”
Yelu Longyun hid the boulder under the carpet at the edge of the tent, sprinkled it with fruit peel garbage, and said, "Dashi, be obedient, don't move." ”
Oishi replied, "Well, I don't move. ”
Yelulong turned around and lifted the three-pointed two-edged knife, rushed out of the tent, and the sound of tearing and killing around was everywhere, and sure enough, there were hundreds of cavalry of the Song army, and the black dragon army resisted desperately, and more than ten people were killed.
Yelu Longyun rushed into Yelu Zhongde's tent, and when he saw that Yelu Zhongde was still drunk, he shouted, "Zhongde, don't drink, someone wants to kill us, hurry up and fight." ”
Yelu Zhongde said slowly: "Fight? What kind of battle? I hate you, even if you break us up, you still have the face to see me, get out!"
Yelu Longyun shouted: "Zhongde, wake up, don't be so decadent, hurry up and fight, or we will all die!" ”
Yelu Zhongde smiled: "Wow, if you die, you will die, I don't want to live anyway!" ”
Yelu Longyun poured a basin of cold water on Yelu Zhongde's head, Yelu Zhongde shivered, Yelu Longyun grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the tent, Yelu Zhongde saw many people lying in a pool of blood, the cold wind blew his head, he suddenly came to his senses, staggered and climbed on the horse.
Yelu Longyun swung a three-pointed two-edged knife to cut down two Song soldiers, and he saw a masked general riding a red horse not far away, holding a spear, pointing and pointing, and a masked black-clothed man next to him, carrying a bow and arrow, watching the battle.
Yelu Longyun wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, so he rushed towards the masked general, and the masked general also saw him, and with a wave of his hand, a Song soldier stopped Yelu Longyun, and Yelu Longyun cut it off his horse with an oblique split, he reined in his horse and shouted to the masked general: "Who are you?" Why did you rob us? ”
The masked general shouted: "Yelu Longyun, we are the army of General Liu Jiqian of the Great Song Kehu Village, and we are here to take your life today!" ”
Yelu Longyun asked, "What do you say?" ”
The masked general said: "Our Great Song soldiers have gathered, vowing to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and specially sent me to eradicate your stumbling block." ”
Yelu Longyun was taken aback and said, "How can you Song State break the covenant and suddenly go to war? ”
The masked general shouted: "Yelu Longyun, don't talk nonsense, take your life." ”
The masked general stabbed the horse with a shot, Yelulong used a three-pointed two-edged knife to block, two horses and a mistake, Yelulong turned back and stabbed horizontally, the masked general lay forward hard, the tip of the knife had cut through his black clothes, the masked general knew that he was invincible, and waved his hand to signal one of his subordinates to go up together, Yelu Zhongde held a bone and patted the horse to intercept this person, and everyone tore together.
Yelu Longyun stabbed the masked general in the chest, the masked general leaned back, Yelu Longyun took advantage of the situation to lift up, the tip of the knife cut his veil, and by the light of the torch, he saw that this person was born with a face full of flesh, and there was a big black mole on the left cheek, and there was a pinch of black hair on it, the masked general was shocked into a cold sweat, hurriedly returned, put on the scarf again, and ordered his subordinates to rush up.
Yelu Longyun's Black Dragon Army was also killed or wounded, and the servants were even more slaughtered.
Yelu Zhongde shouted loudly: "Lord, you go to the back of my palace first." ”
Seeing that he was also dying, Yelu Longyun shouted, "Everyone rush out with me." ”
He made a way out of the camp with several Black Dragons and disappeared into the night.
Yelu Zhongde did not flee with him, but stopped the Song army, killed many Song soldiers in a row, and wounded several others, he seemed to go crazy.
The masked general took advantage of his inattention, slapped him on the back with a gun, he fell off the horse, and the two Song soldiers pressed him to his knees, and the masked general jumped off the horse and walked over, slapped Yelu Zhongde twice, and shouted: "Who are you?" He even killed many of my brothers in a row! ”
Yelu Zhongde said: "If you are caught, you can kill if you want, no need to ask." ”
The masked general sneered: "It's not so easy if you want to die, I'm going to pierce you into a sieve with one shot and torture you to death!" ”
After speaking, a shot stabbed Yelu Zhongde in the right arm, Yelu Zhongde gritted his teeth and endured without making a sound, the masked general raised his gun and was about to stab him in the chest, at this moment, a war horse galloped over, bumped into two Song soldiers, and the man on the horse stretched out his hand to carry Yelu Zhongde on the horse's back, patted the horse and rushed to the outside of the camp, this person was Yelu Longyun.
Yelu Longyun suddenly saw that the masked man in black was bending his bow and aiming at him, there were three arrows on the bow, he thought it was not good, and hurriedly got on his stomach and lay forward, two arrows flew from the top of his head, and the third arrow still hit his thigh, and with a piercing pain, he rode his horse and galloped away.
The masked man in black said to the masked general: "I didn't expect Yelu Longyun to be so cunning and let him run away!" ”
The masked general said, "He ran away, his men couldn't run." ”
The masked general shouted, "Search for me, and no one will be let go." The masked general stabbed to death several of Yelu Longyun's servants with his own hands.
The two Song soldiers entered Yelu Longyun's tent and, when they saw that there was no one in the house, searched for valuable belongings. When Oishi heard someone coming in, he thought that he couldn't let everyone find him, so he lay motionless under the carpet.
Suddenly, a hand was pressed, and Oishi felt so painful, but he still held back, he just didn't want everyone to find him. A Song soldier stepped on the toilet paper with the soles of his forefeet, and immediately raised his feet again, scolding: "It's really unlucky, there's nothing, let's go!" ”
Dashi hid under the carpet for a while, and when he saw that no one had come looking for him, he thought that everyone was so stupid, and he wanted to go out and show off, but Dashi climbed out of the carpet and staggered out of the tent, and looked east and west, and saw some strangers running around in the distance, shouting, and no one paid attention to him, so he cried loudly.
At this time, Yahuan Xiaolan ran out of the tent next to her, picked up the boulder and ran out of the camp.
But Dashi's cry still attracted the attention of the masked general, and he slapped his horse to catch up and block Yahuan Xiaolan's way, Xiaolan was in a hurry and fell to the ground.
The masked general shouted, "Who is this little boy?" ”
Yahuan Xiaolan replied: "Official, this is my child, you raise your noble hand and let us go!" ”
The masked general looked at the big stone and shouted, "You lie, I think this kid looks a little like Yelu Longyun, this must be the son of Yelu Longyun!" ”
The masked general shouted to his men, "Take her with me." ”
The masked general came to Yelu Longyun's tent, wrote a few big words on the curtain, and the masked man in black said, "The general is really smart. ”
The masked general sneered: "Hehe, he escaped the first year of junior high school, but he can't avoid fifteen." ”
The next morning, just after dawn, the horn outside the Song State Kehu Village sounded, more than 1,000 Liao State cavalry surrounded the Kehu Village, and shot arrows at the head of the city, the Song army was unprepared for this sudden attack, and was in a mess, shouting: "The Khitans are invading, the Khitans are invading!" "I can only hide behind the city wall and dare not show my head.
It turned out that it rained heavily in the middle of the night last night, Yelu Longyun returned to the camp, dozens of corpses were all over the ground, none of them lived, the blood stained the ground red with the rain, Yelu Longyun's eyes were red, he shouted the name of Dashi and went straight to his tent, and found a line of words on the door curtain "If you want a child, come to Kehu Village", he was anxious, and mobilized the nearby Liao army overnight to come to Kehu Village to find Liu Jiqian to settle accounts.
A soldier reported the military situation to Liu Jiqian, and Liu Jiqian was taken aback and couldn't believe it. He immediately ordered all the soldiers to go to the city to guard, and he also put on armor and climbed to the top of the city, looking out from the battlement, only to see the Liao soldiers shouting and neighing, galloping horses, and constantly shooting arrows at the head of the city.
Yelulongyun saw the banner at the head of the city shaking, and a general in his twenties ascended to the top of the city, Yelulongyun waved his hand and ordered the Liao army to stop archery.
He slapped his horse forward and shouted, "Is it Liu Jiqian in the city? ”
Liu Jiqian saw a Liao army general, in his thirties, holding a three-pointed two-edged knife, angry, Liu Jiqian replied: "It is here, who are you?" Why did you lead an army against my Kehu village? ”
Yelu Longyun waved his knife at Liu Jiqian, and shouted angrily: "Liu Jiqian, I am Yelu Longyun, the king of the Great Liao Jin Dynasty, you killed my people and snatched my son, and you are still pretending to be confused here!" ”
When Liu Jiqian heard that it was Yelu Longyun, he was shocked, this Yelu Longyun is the prince of Liao, how could he personally lead the army to attack my Kehu Village?
Liu Jiqian shouted: "Yelu Longyun, you are framing me, this is just an excuse for you to attack my Great Song Dynasty." ”
Yelu Longyun saw Liu Jiqian's arrival, and shouted angrily: "Liu Jiqian, last night you sent someone to kill my people and snatch my son, but you didn't admit it, if you don't hand over my son within three days, and don't surrender the city, I will set foot on your Kehu village and leave no one alive!" ”
Liu Jiqian saw Yelu Longyun so rampant, and he was also enthusiastic, and shouted: "How can my dignified Song generals be afraid of your intimidation, I will also kill you without leaving a piece of armor!" ”
Yelu Longyun saw that Liu Jiqian did not admit it, and shouted angrily: "You wait for me!" ”
Yelulong returned to the team, and with an order, the Liao army began to attack the city. Liu Jiqian also ordered the Song army to release the arrows, and after a while, the two sides suffered casualties from each other, and Yelu Longyun was a little anxious.
Yelu Zhongde said to Yelu Longyun: "Lord, we don't have siege equipment, so it is not good for us to attack like this, it is better to build some siege equipment first, and then it is not too late to attack the city." ”
Yelu Longyun nodded and ordered the Liao army to stop the attack and besiege Kehuzhai.
Liu Jiqian returned to the mansion, took off his armor, not only did he not relax, but he was worried, this Liao army is strong and strong, if it is not blocked by the city wall, the Liao army will sweep everything like a flood, my more than 500 infantry can't resist at all, thinking of this, Liu Jiqian's head is buzzing.
At dusk the next day, Liu Jiqian climbed the city, looking at the Liao army camp from afar, what he was worried about still happened, the Liao army has built some ladders, it is estimated that the Liao army will come to attack the city tomorrow, he knows in his heart that the city wall of Kehu Village is low, difficult to defend, and tomorrow will be a vicious battle.
Liu Jiqian recalled what Yelu Longyun had said, had a plan, smashed the city wall with his fist, and said to himself: "Just do it, the brave will win when they meet on the narrow road!" ”
On the morning of the third day, Liu Jiqian led a hundred infantry to rush out of the city, and Yelu Longyun also lined up to meet him.
Yelu Long patted his horse forward and shouted: "Liu Jiqian, are you leading this point of men and horses today to fight a decisive battle, or are you here to surrender?" ”
Liu Jiqian replied: "I'm here to clarify the facts. ”
Yelu Longyun shouted, "Clarify the facts? That night, you sent more than 100 cavalry to rush into my camp, kill my people, take my son, and leave a handwriting for me to come to Kehu Village to find you, do you continue to deny it? ”
Liu Jiqian said: "I have no grievances with you, how could I send someone to do such a thing?" ”
Yelu Longyun said: "According to the leading general, your Song State is going to send troops to attack my Da Liao, and you send people to kill me first." ”
Liu Jiqian was surprised when he heard this, and said: "My Great Song Dynasty did not send troops to attack your Liao State, and I didn't send any cavalry to rob and kill you, someone must be blaming me!" ”
Jerodron said, "How can you make me believe you? Unless you ask me to go into the city and search. ”
When Liu Jiqian heard this, he was anxious and said, "No, how can I let the people of the Liao Kingdom search at will in my Great Song City?" ”
Yelu Longyun shouted: "Then you and I will have a big battle today, if I win, I will do what I want, and if I lose, I will withdraw the army." ”
How could Liu Jiqian be frightened by him, and replied: "Okay, just do it!" ”
The two didn't talk much and tore together. Although Liu Jiqian came desperately today, his actual combat experience was not as good as Yelu Longyun, and after more than a dozen rounds, he could only parry.
Yelu Longyun stabbed with a knife, Liu Jiqian raised a knife, Liu Jiqian's knife was stuck in the middle of the two tips of the three-pointed two-edged knife, Yelu Longyun flicked to the side, turned his wrist, and the long handle slammed Liu Jiqian's chest, Liu Jiqian fell off the horse with an "oops", Yelu Longyun saw a knife light straight to his chest, he dodged sideways or was scratched on his arm, it turned out that Liu Jiqian threw out the big knife at the moment of falling, Yelu Longyun twisted the horse's head, and the three-pointed two-edged knife pointed directly at Liu Jiqian's throat.
At the critical moment, someone shouted: "Lord Wang, slow down!" ”
Seeing Yelu Zhongde Pegasus coming, he reined in his horse and said, "Lord, I saw hundreds of Song army uniforms in the woods on the border, and there were blood stains on them, I guess someone pretended to be the Song army to rob and kill us!" ”
When Yelu Longyun heard this, he also began to suspect that the Song army in front of him was indeed a little different from the murderous Song army that night.
Yelu Longyun asked, "Liu Jiqian, let me ask you if you sent someone to rob me?" ”
Liu Jiqian replied: "I do things above board, and I have never sent someone to rob you!" ”
Yelu Longyun withdrew the three-pointed two-edged knife, Liu Jiqian stood up, and said: "Someone must be to blame me, and I will also find out!" ”
Yelu Longyun said, "I believe you for the time being! The general who led the charge that night was armed with a spear and a large black mole on the left cheek with a tuft of black hair growing on it. ”
Liu Jiqian said: "I will notify you if I find this person." ”
Yelu Longyun ordered: "Withdraw the troops." ”
Liu Jiqian breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yelu Longyun and Yelu Zhongde rushed to the woods on the border first, and sure enough, they saw hundreds of Song army uniforms, and the two looked for other traces nearby.
A soldier shouted, "There's a female corpse!" ”
The two ran to the front to see that it was Yahuan Xiaolan, who had an arrow stuck in her heart, right in the middle of the matter.
Yelu Longyun said: "These people are really ruthless! ”
Yelu Zhongde picked out a small dress from Xiaolan's arms and said, "Lord Wang, isn't this the little young master's clothes?" ”
Yelu Longyun took the clothes and became excited, he looked around and shouted, "Son, where are you?" Where are you? ”
They searched the neighborhood again, but found nothing.
Yelu Longyun shouted: "Son, Daddy must find you!" ”
