Chapter 526: Ice and Snow Grassland 3
To the northwest, the Khitan team was still moving forward.
They had been walking for months, and at first they were still walking while grazing, but at last the weather gradually cooled down and their speed slowly increased.
They originally thought that after returning to Beijing, they could go south with the Jurchens and Mongols, but now the Jurchens and Mongols have been annihilated by the Song army! They already have no allies, only themselves!
Jerodashi rode on his horse and followed the procession, his eyes still very firm, without the slightest fear!
He has been through so much since he was born! When he was just born, the Liao State was still the first power in East Asia, and the surrounding countries had to pay tribute to the Liao State, including the Song Dynasty, which had to send a large number of "New Year's coins" every year, as for the Jurchens, it was just a low-class nation under the Liao State! When he was young, he won the imperial examination and became the champion, becoming the only Khitan champion in the history of Liao, and became the champion after he was also a Khitan royal family, he was really high-spirited at that time! Who knew that the good times would not last long, when he was twenty-eight years old, the Jurchens began to rebel, at the beginning he did not put the Jurchens in his eyes, and the entire Liao State did not put the Jurchens in his eyes, who knew that under the leadership of Wanyan Aguta, in just ten years, the Liao State went to extinction! During that time, he served as a festival envoy and a general, and he once led his troops to fight against the Song army of "Lianjin to destroy Liao", and also fought against Jin soldiers! He was once a prisoner of the Jurchens, and then escaped! For the next ten years, he led the Khitan tribes in the northwest to flee all the way to distant Central Asia, where they survived!
Even if he knew how powerful Song Jun was, he was not afraid in his heart, he just became more cautious!
"It's less than two hundred miles away from Hedong City!" A Khitan general followed him and said with a smile.
"Hedong City, where the Wugu and Dilie tribes grazed, where we were the pastures of the Khitans, we are now walking on the grassland of our hometown." Yelu Dashi nodded slightly.
In fact, after they arrived in Fuzhou and Zhenzhou, which is now Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, they have returned to the homeland of the Khitans! From Ulaanbaatar to the south, there is the former homeland of the Liao Kingdom!
After arriving here, although there is no other scenery on the grassland, only patches of snow, Yelu Dashi feels that everything is so kind and beautiful!
This is his hometown, and when he comes back, he never wants to leave this place again!
He looked ahead and secretly vowed to take his clansmen to Liaodong, and then lead more clansmen in Liaodong to recover Daliao!
In fact, in the original history, in 1134, Yelu Dashi led 70,000 soldiers and horses to return from Central Asia and tried to restore the Great Liao, but the Jurchens adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness, and finally defeated Yelu Dashi on the grassland, so Yelu Dashi had to retreat to Central Asia again, and then established Western Liao.
It's 1133, and Jerodashi went south a year ahead of history, but he led a lot more soldiers and horses than in history! Because this time he moved his clan, and all the clansmen he took ten years ago came back with him, and all the men in the clan were warriors! The total population of this Khitan team is close to 300,000, and the number of warriors has reached 140,000!
"Everyone is stepping up and moving forward, striving to reach Hedong City as soon as possible! When we arrived at Hadong City, we rested there. "Yelu Dashi Road.
******
The sky gradually darkened, and the grassland became unusually cold, and the Khitan team did not stop, but kept walking, they wanted to reach Hedong City as soon as possible.
By midnight, the speed of the Khitan team was getting slower and slower, and many Khitans could no longer walk.
However, at this time, there was a "rumbling" sound from the south!
"Not good!" Yelu Dashi was originally a little drowsy, but when he heard this voice, he was immediately awakened.
"Great Khan, what's wrong?" A few cavalrymen next to him hurriedly asked, they had not yet heard the sound of the south.
"There are many cavalry from the south, hurry up and gather our army!" Yelu Stone Road.
After a while, the entire Khitan team was alarmed, and the Khitan warriors had already begun to assemble! The Khitan people have adopted the Jurchen system in recent years, and the army is divided into more than ten thousand commanders, and under the ten thousand commanders are thousands of commanders, centurions, etc., and the command system has been far better than before.
The "rumbling" sound in the south became clearer and clearer, and the Khitans couldn't help but get nervous.
"About four or five thousand people! Yeluxi, you lead a team of 10,000 people to see what's going on? "Yelu Dashi Road.
A middle-aged general beside him nodded in agreement! This middle-aged general is none other than Yeluxi, a commander in the Khitan army.
At that moment, Yeluxi led 10,000 Khitan soldiers to the south.
The cold wind howled on the steppe, and they went forward with great speed, and after a quarter of an hour they finally met the cavalry that had suddenly appeared in the south!
As Yelu Dashi guessed, the cavalry in the south was indeed four or five thousand people, and by the starlight in the sky, it could be seen that they were all dressed as Han Chinese! This is a Song army!
"It's Han Chinese! The Han people actually appeared here! But luckily, there were only four or five thousand of them! Rush, let's go destroy them! Yeluxi said immediately.
"General, we have to send someone to inform the Great Khan!" A centurion beside Jeluxi said.
"Good! You go and inform the Great Khan! I will lead an army to destroy them! There are only four or five thousand of them, and they are Han Chinese, not our opponents! Jerry laughed.
Although Yelu Yilie brought the news of the defeat of the Song army to the Jurchens and the Mongols, Yelu Dashi was already very cautious in his heart and was unwilling to directly confront the Song army, but the ordinary Khitan generals still did not take the Song army seriously.
At that moment, Yeluxi led 10,000 Khitan troops to rush towards the Song army, but before they could come to the Song army, the Song soldiers and turned their horses and fled to the south.
Yeluxi chased after him closely, and the Song army kept running.
Half an hour has passed, and Yeluxi still hasn't caught up with the Song army in front, and at this moment they are already more than twenty miles away from the Khitan team.
"General, we can't continue to catch up! Poor Kou Mo Chase! An adjutant general beside Yeluxi said.
"We're about to catch up with them, how can we give up now?" Jerry said.
"The Han people are cunning, maybe we will be ambushed." The lieutenant said.
Yeluxi's face showed a look of hesitation, and at this moment, a whining horn suddenly sounded from all directions!
Hearing the sound of the horn, Yeluxi stayed there all of a sudden, and the surrounding Khitan soldiers also stayed there!
"It's not good, we have been ambushed by the Han Chinese! Get out of here! Yeluxi hurriedly said.
He was about to return along the same road with the Khitan army, and at this moment the Song army appeared in all directions!
Yue Fei personally led an army of 100,000 to come here, and at this moment, almost all of the 100,000 troops were thrown into battle!
Yue Fei led 10,000 soldiers and horses to pass through the Khitan army, dividing the Khitan soldiers and horses into two halves, and then 100,000 Song troops surrounded and annihilated the Khitan army that was divided into two halves!
"Settle the battle in two quarters of an hour and don't let a single enemy leave!" Yue Fei said.
He led his soldiers and horses to constantly attack from the Khitan army, dividing the Khitan army into small pieces, so that the Khitan army could not act in unison.
It's just that the combat effectiveness of the Khitans made Yue Fei feel a little surprised!
The combat strength of these Khitans surpassed that of the Mongols, and they were even inferior to the Jurchens when they went south to Kaifeng!
At the beginning of the battle, under the command of Yue Fei, the Khitans fell into a disadvantage, they could not form an effective command, they fought on their own, but everyone fought back desperately like a wounded beast!
However, the strength of the Song army far exceeded them, and there was a world-famous general like Yue Fei as the commander, and after a quarter of an hour, the shouting of killing became quieter, and two quarters of an hour later, the Khitan army was completely annihilated by 100,000 Song troops!
"The Khitans are giving us credit! Only 10,000 people dare to leave the main force so far, they are really not afraid of our encirclement and annihilation! Zhang Xian came to Yue Fei's side and laughed.
"After the Khitan experienced the disaster of destroying the country, he tried his courage on his back, and now his strength cannot be underestimated, and he can almost catch up with the Jurchens in his early years! We can't be careless! Yue Fei said.
"I understand." Zhang Xiandao.
"Let's go, let's continue to follow the Khitan army." Yue Fei said.
At that moment, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and others led an army of 100,000 to continue towards the north.
