"How's going on with these Liao dogs?"

On a mountain peak about five miles away from Zhou Quan and his party, Wanyan Shahu looked into the distance with a fierce face.

"Liaogou's team is obviously chaotic, as long as there are three hundred people, one charge, it can be wiped out!"

Three hundred people, Wanyan Sand Tiger has it, but he can't send it for the time being. Retracting his gaze, Hu Shahu looked at the embarrassed Jurchens of the Lie Tribe, wondering if they were letting them play a role.

After the defeat, these Jurchens of the Lie Tribes fled into the forest, and as a result, they fell into the hands of the Wanyan Tribe. They were originally a feud with Wanyanbu, and the contradictions between the two sides were extremely acute, but now people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

At this moment, they saw wolf smoke rising in the distance. Wanyan Shahu perked up and laughed.

"But what happened over there?" His subordinates asked.

"Whether it's or not, we've got to do it here!" Wanyan Shahu raised the mace in his hand, and his voice turned sharp: "Which princess of the Liao Kingdom is me, no one is allowed to rob me!" ”

After finishing speaking, the Jurchens swarmed out of the mountains and forests, including the remnants of the Su Shilie, there were as many as five hundred people!

"But Ah Gu ordered us to cut off Emperor Liao's retreat!" One of his men shouted.

"At most, half a day's effort, I can hug that princess of Liao, and I can't miss Ah Guta!"

When it comes to Yu Liyan, Wanyan Shahu's eyes are full of flames, he is famous for his fierceness, and his subordinates dare not disobey him, these hundreds of Jurchens pounced on Yu Liyan's escort team together, and met with the scattered troops who went to harass them halfway, and when they arrived, the number had increased to more than six hundred!

After discovering that the fires were on fire on all sides, Yu Liyan's escort team had to change the original road, and the smoke and flames at the big tent of the Liao Emperor made the whole army panic.

"It's not good, if I am an enemy general, I will definitely take this opportunity to attack!" Di Jiang warned Zhou Quan.

He originally didn't believe in Zhou Quan's battlefield judgment ability, but his previous experience made him think that Zhou Quan still had some talents from his uncle and father.

Wuyang is even worse than Di Jiang, in yesterday's battle, Zhou Quan's assault played a role in turning the tide, which also made Wuyang look at Zhou Quan with admiration. How he trusted Zhou Fu and Zhou Tong back then, and how he trusts Zhou Quan now, so when Zhou Quan asked for his opinion, he said without hesitation: "I feel the same way, but how to deal with it, everything is only the first thing to look forward to!" ”

Since both Di Jiang and Wu Yang felt that the enemy might attack, it was almost certain. Zhou Quan was just a little glad in his heart that the enemy did not attack immediately when the flames were rising.

He didn't know that this was because the news was not in harmony with the times. The Jurchens launched at the same time in several places to give him the opportunity to reorganize the army. He summoned Brother Yelu Ma and said, "The Jurchens will take the opportunity to attack, now is not the time for chaos, you quickly restrain the people!"

Yelu Mago didn't know that the current chaos was giving the enemy an opportunity, but the Khitan army of more than 300 people who came to help was not his subordinates, he just used the identity of the princess to control the army.

"If there is a disobedience, kill it!" Without waiting for Zhou Quanming to say, Yelu Yu Liyan ordered. The little girl was gentle and lovely to Zhou Quan, but now she is murderous.

Brother Yelu Ma was still a little at a loss, Zhou Quan saw it, and gave him another idea, asking him to assign his original subordinates to the army as the team commander, and transfer the original commander to his side as the princess's personal army.

Although things were rushed, they still sorted out the Khitan people in a short period of time. The team here has just been sorted out, and the killing noise over there has already risen!

"You really don't give us a chance to breathe!" Zhou Quan muttered, and then looked at Di Jiang and Wu Yang, hoping to get some guidance from them.

"The enemy army is huge, and you must use tactics!" Di Jiang shouted.

"Defeat!" Wu Yang said.

"It's not proper, it's hard to clean up once you lose!" Zhou Quan categorically denied it.

"Yes, you're right!" Wu Yang also quickly understood.

These Khitans are not their subordinates who have been trained for a long time, if they really want to play the trick of deception, they are afraid that deception will become real defeat, and even the last glimmer of hope will be gone.

Zhou Quan denied Wu Yang's plan, and at this time his forehead was already sweating.

The only thing worth consoling at the moment is that, apart from the sporadic cold arrows, the enemy is still far away from them, and it is only loud.

Why are they making such a loud noise?

Zhou Quan squinted, and suddenly realized a problem that had been ignored before.

"It's still to discourage our military...... This also proves that the number of invading enemies is not enough! ”

Thinking of the pillar of smoke on the side of Yelu Yanxi's tent, Zhou Quan knew in his heart that after all, this was within the sphere of influence of the Liao State, and under Yelu Yanxi's nose, whether it was a rebellion or a rebellion, the other party would definitely have a limited number of people to use.

"The enemy is not numerous, and it is a bluff to shout from all sides!" Seeing that the Khitan army that came to help was still fluctuating, Zhou Quan stood up from Zilu and shouted.

Yu Liyan next to him directly translated Chinese into Khitan, and the surrounding leather room soldiers all looked at it, but most of them still didn't trust it.

First, Zhou Quan is a Han man, and secondly, Zhou Quan is too handsome, in the eyes of these leather room soldiers, he is just a little white face. As for what Yu Liyan's personal guards said, Zhou Quan personally killed the Jurchen warriors, they only regarded it as boasting.

"This place is only a few dozen miles away from the Great Liao Emperor, and under the escort of 6,000 leather room troops, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from various departments, and there are a few young people, how can there be too many people! It must be a small number of uneducated Jurchens, colluding with individual rebels in the DPRK and China, and wanting to create chaos and take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble! Zhou Quan said loudly again.

Yelu Yu Liyan also translated it, and this time, those leather room soldiers with unconvinced faces finally began to face up to what Zhou Quan said.

"Nine times out of ten, the enemy is the Jurchens, they are not terrible, you Khitans have always driven the Jurchens like hounds, will you be afraid of your hounds?"

Zhou Quan shouted loudly there, and Di Jiang next to him came to Wu Yang's side and laughed quietly: "Uncle Dong and Brother Fu don't have this ability, Wu Yang, if you really want to lead the troops as generals, learn better." ”

Wu Yang thought so, don't look at Zhou Quan is just a few words, but these few sentences are full of people's hearts. First, he pointed out that the Jurchens were bluffing to appease the hearts of the people, and then belittled the Jurchens' combat power to strengthen the courage of the Khitans, and then it should be to show their strength and prove that they are fully capable of winning.

Sure enough, Zhou Quan said again: "Just yesterday, we won more with less, beating hundreds of Jurchens to the ground, Brother Yelu Ma personally beheaded the first Jurchen warrior, and this great Song Yong general next to me chased and killed hundreds of Jurchens with only six horsemen!" ”

Zhou Quan didn't say how brave he was, although the situation was critical at this time, his heart was as bright as a mirror.

Perhaps it was the perfect combination of the blood of the military generals belonging to the generation and the eloquence from another life, which made him very clear at the moment what he should say.

He boasted of his bravery, and the Khitans would only be suspicious, but Yelu Mage was originally a Khitan officer and had always had a reputation for bravery, while Wuyang was strong and tall, and that body alone gave people a strong sense of oppression.

"Exactly, with such a brave general, what are we afraid of!"

"What is so terrible about the Jurchens, but it is our eagle dog, and now that the eagle dog is not well-behaved, it is natural to teach a lesson!"

The Khitans said in a gossipy manner, even in the face of smoke and fire, they felt that there was nothing to fear.

"Yu Liyan is the princess of Da Liao, the noble daughter favored by the emperor of Da Liao today, as long as you can fight bravely, are you still afraid that your merits will not be recognized, and you are afraid that there will be no reward after the victory, even if you die in battle, your wives and children are old and young, and they are also protected by the princess, are you afraid that they will lack food and clothing in the future?"

After Zhou Quan finished saying this, he glanced at Brother Yeluma.

He originally intended to let Jeremia take the lead in chanting, but he never thought that Jereumago had done something that scared him.

The Khitan officer pulled out his knife and cut his face, and blood immediately flowed out. He raised the knife stained with his own blood and said sharply: "What is so terrible about death, it is better to die for plundering the golden silk of your children than to die in the bed at home!" ”

After his knife, his cronies who were mixed with the reinforcements also drew their knives and cut their faces, and Zhou Quan's teeth were a little sour. However, this move was extremely inspiring to the army, and the Khitans at this time were not only no longer afraid of war, but also screamed one by one, hoping that the Jurchens would appear in front of them immediately.

"Occupy that hill." After Zhou Quan mustered up his morale, Di Jiang said to Zhou Quan again: "I have observed, in about half an hour, there will be the upper hand over there!" ”

He is a geographical ghost born as a scout, and he has an unusual sensitivity to the flow and direction of the water, although the location of that direction is not very good, but Zhou Quan still chooses to trust him.

When Zhou Quan led the men and horses to climb the mountainside, it was impossible to move forward further because of the lush woods, and below them, the Jurchen pioneers who had been sporadically harassed finally gathered together, and there were more than 100 people.

Different from the Sushi Lie Department that attacked them yesterday, these Jurchens were all well-armed, and many of them were even equipped with the Liao State Pi Room Army, seeing this situation, Yelu Margo was furious: "The traitors of the Wanyan Tribe, except for them, there is no Jurchen army that can have so many armored soldiers!" ”

"No matter who it is, frustrate the other party's spirit first!"

Everyone knew very well that if they wanted to fight the Jurchens in this mountain forest, they would have to guard against their harassment of the guerrillas. At this time, it is rare for the Jurchens to come out of the place of invisibility, which is a good opportunity!

Zhou Quan just wanted to step forward, but this time, he was firmly held down by Di Jiang, who had been prepared.

Not only Di Jiang, but even Yelu Yu Liyan also grabbed one of his arms.

Wu Yang urged the horse forward again, and was about to speak, but Brother Yelu Ma over there preemptively said: "You Song people are guests, how can you let you take the lead again, and look at me!" ”

103.

Half a moment later, Yelu Ma Ge gasped, but returned to Zhou Quan's side with high spirits, and he also raised his chin to Wu Yang: "How?" ”

Because the terrain could not show more troops, and he was worried that it was a trap for the enemy, he could not put all the troops in his hands into it, so there were only more than 100 people who rushed towards the Jurchens with him, and he had a slight advantage in numbers. These Jurchens of the Wanyan Department were not as weak as the Sushi Lie Division, and in the face of the superior Khitans, they dared to rush up and fight.

It wasn't long, only half an hour, but it was a tough battle. As a result of the battle, the Khitans suffered more than 20 casualties, while the Jurchens died more than 30.

In terms of the total number, the Khitans still have the advantage.

Wu Yang picked his thumb and didn't speak.

This made Yelu Ma Ge a little ashamed, and he glanced at Zhou Quan: "Thanks to Zhou Lang, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty sent Zhou Lang to my country as an envoy, and he really has the wisdom to know people!" ”

He knew very well in his heart that he could lead the team to defeat the Jurchen strikers within half an hour, and a considerable part of the credit had to be attributed to Zhou Quan.

First, Zhou Quan impressed everyone with his words, so that these Khitans had enough courage to face the tenacious Jurchen thieves. The second is himself, and it is also because of Zhou Quan's promise to be the lord of a city, so he will fight bravely.

Hearing him boast about Zhou Quan, Yelu Yu Liyan smiled, and said quite proudly: "My vision is similar to that of the Great Song Emperor!" ”

They said this, but Zhou Quan and Di Jiang looked at each other.

Zhao Ji, the son of the Great Song Dynasty, his vision is really not very good, if Yu Liyan's vision is really like him, it will be miserable.

"Fang Cai is just the vanguard of the enemy, I think their brigade should also arrive, let's defend it by the mountain." Zhou Quan had already confessed, so Yu Liyan said loudly.

Sure enough, as she said, the Khitan had just formed a formation, and the Jurchens who had been killed and scattered around gathered again, but this time, their number was no longer only a dozen, but more than five hundred!

And that's not all, the Jurchens who were originally scattered in the dense forest are gathering more and more, and it seems that they are going to develop to 800, 900, or even 1,000 people!

If there was no Zhou Quan's speech and Yelu Mage's hard work, the Khitans would have been afraid when they saw the enemy's strength at this time. But now, although the enemy army was three times larger than the Khitans, they were still calm, and even looked at Yelu Yuliyan with eager eyes, waiting for her order to strike again.

"We can't take it easy." Wu Yang said softly.

Last time, the enemy was unprepared, so he was able to kill a surprise and make the Jurchens suffer a small loss. But now it is different, the Jurchens have found that this Khitan army is very tenacious, and they will definitely not be careless anymore.

"Since the Jurchens rebelled, Princess Yu Liyan was by no means their main target, and the manpower they could infiltrate into the Spring Bowl was originally limited, but they still stationed nearly a thousand people here...... They definitely can't afford it, as long as we stay for half a day, they will definitely retreat! Di Jiang said.

In this regard, Zhou Quan deeply agreed.

Wu Yang and Di Jiang, one can go up at a critical moment, and the other can analyze useful information in a short time, and Zhou Fu picked these two to help him, which can be regarded as a wise person.

The Khitans set up an iron bucket formation, just waiting for the Jurchens to attack in a big way, and among the Jurchens, half a mile apart, Wanyan Shahu looked at the Khitans' defensive formation like a hedgehog, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Something is not quite right with these Liao people!" He muttered.

Although to other Jurchen tribes, Da Liao is a behemoth that makes them fearful, but the Wanyan Department has served the Khitan for many years, and several generations of leaders have been forbearing, and they are already well versed in the Khitan hypocrisy.

In the eyes of Wanyan Hu, Da Liao is a big tree that has been hollowed out, and it looks like it has bright branches and leaves, but as long as there is a strong wind, then Da Liao will fall to the ground with a bang!

"It's a pity that there is not enough manpower, today's matter is too hasty, otherwise where would we only bring these few hundred people!" Wanyan Shahu said hatefully.

This rebellion of the Wanyan tribe was not the idea of Wanyan Wuyashu himself, but the actions of Aguta and Hushahu without authorization. But they are not hot-headed, but in fact, within the Khitans, someone colluded with them and signaled them to do so!

Wu Yashu was still a little afraid, but Ah Guta and Husha felt that this was the best time to tear down the big tree of Liao, so they took action.

"Let's test it first...... Let the Flame Warriors attack first? Next to the Shahu Shahu, a man from the Grim Tribes asked.

The falcon shook his head, the vanguard had already been frustrated, the relationship between the Fu Shi Lie Department and the Wanyan Department had always been not harmonious, even if they forced the other party to step forward, they would definitely not be able to make a contribution.

Thinking of this, he named the generals of the Yan Department and ordered them to lead the team to attack.

Wanyanbu's attack was initially quite smooth, and with only two rounds of assaults, the first layer of defense of the Khitans at the foot of the mountain was broken, and even the second layer of defense was almost broken.

Although they were eventually driven down, the casualty ratio of the Wanyan tribe as the attacker and the Khitans on the defending side was roughly the same!

This made Wanyan Shahu make up his mind.

"Attack again!" He shouted, "Don't give these Liao dogs a chance to breathe!" ”

This attack broke through two layers of enemy defense in a row, and directly attacked under the banner of Yelu Yu Liyan, the princess of Daliao, before being driven back by the Khitans.

Just as Wanyan retreated, there was a sudden chaos among the Khitans, and immediately after, six or seven people rushed down from the mountain.

"It's our people, it's our people!"

On the flanks of the Wanyan Division, the people of the Fushi Lie Department were surprised and delighted.

But it was the captives of the Sushi Lie Division, who took advantage of the opportunity of the Wanyan tribe to attack and the Khitans who did not care about them, and seized the weapons of the Khitans and fled.

Wanyan Shahu was overjoyed, summoned these people from the Sushi Lie tribe to the front and asked, "How many Khitans are there on the mountain?" ”

"It's not much, there are only more than three hundred people in total, and the people's hearts are scattered, just one or two more attacks, and they will definitely win!" The people of the Nafu Stone Lie tribe replied.

"Oh, I see that they are still quite disciplined, where are the hearts of the people distracted?" The Shahu frowned.

"There are actually three groups of people on the mountain, one is Princess Yu Liyan's subordinate guards, one group is the leather room army sent by the Liao lord to respond, and more than ten people are Han envoys of the Song State. The reason why they fought before was because your troops were so tightly surrounded that they thought they would die, so they fought fiercely! "Then the people of the Stone Lie Department can see clearly the reality and the void on the mountain.

Hearing this, and corroborating it with the information he had received earlier, the Shahu felt that the people of the Fushi Lie Department were not lying.

He ordered these Sushi Martyrs to return to their headquarters, then looked around and said with a smile: "In this case, let's give these Khitans a chance, everyone gather together first and make a way!" ”

When attacking, this is the most basic art of war, and the Jurchens are very familiar with it. So they abandoned their previous practice of blocking the two roads down the mountain, and instead moved out of the way of one and blocked only the other.

If the Khitan people on the mountain saw that they had a way to escape, perhaps their will to resist would not be so resolute.

Sure enough, as his side gave way to a road, the Khitans above were in chaos, and there seemed to be disputes within them!

It should be a contradiction between insisting on resistance and asking for a breakthrough and escape, and even without waiting for the Jurchens to attack, there were several flames on the mountain, and the smoke column soared into the sky, and I don't know whether it was a mistake to overturn the fire, or to light it to call the police for help.

Wanyan Shahu was overjoyed, and the best thing these Jurchens he brought was to climb mountains and mountains in the deep mountains and old forests, which was even more proficient than horseback riding. If the Khitans left the mountain, the Wanyan Sand Tiger was sure to wipe it out on the way.

"Don't give them too much time to think, you have to keep attacking, put pressure on them, force them to collapse!"

Wanyan Shahu has fought in the south and north over the years, and has fought many vicious battles with Aguta and others, and immediately decided when he saw the opportunity.

The Jurchens were indeed superior to the Khitans in carrying out the battle order, and after Yan Hu's order, two hundred Jurchens suddenly wore armor and began to march towards the mountain.

And this time, it is no longer the original mountain and forest Jurchens who are good at mountain climbing! They were all strong and strong, and their bodies were wrapped in iron armor, and although their pace slowed down because of this, they moved towards the mountain like huge rocks!

"Arrows are useless!"

As these Jurchens approached, Wanyan Shahu heard the desperate shouts of the Khitans on the mountain.

The Khitan hunters had excellent archery skills, which had always made the Jurchens jealous, and in order to deal with them, the Jurchens deliberately collected heavy armor and armed this heavy armor army. In the eyes of the Jurchens, this will be their main force in the confrontation with the leather room army!

"Tiefutu...... Kill! Seeing that the opponent's hunting bow could not break through the armor, the falcon raised his hammer and shouted.

"Roar!"

The heavily armored Jurchens who were advancing heard his orders from behind, and roared in unison, the momentum was so great that it could smash everything that stood in its way.

The Khitan people on the mountain were even more chaotic, no one cared about the fire that burned indiscriminately, and the entire mountain bag fell into thick smoke. Wanyan Shahu was extremely satisfied, and he was already thinking about how to concoct the proud Khitan princess.

But at this moment, the situation changed abruptly!

It was the direction of the wind that had changed, and the original north wind suddenly became a west wind, and the mountain was in the west, and the Jurchen army was in the east. The west wind was strong, rolling up the billowing smoke and rushing towards the Jurchens!

Not only did the smoke obscure their vision, but more importantly, the choking smoke poured into their face armor, rushed into their noses, and occupied their alveoli. These Jurchen heavy armor, who were as strong as a mountain just now, suddenly became seriously ill, coughing violently one by one, and could barely straighten their waists.

Even those who barely managed to cough were unable to move forward because of difficulty breathing!

Although the mountain bag is not steep, but the heavy armor has to move to fight, which is a great consumption of physical strength, and now they can't go forward, stop in place and continue to be smoked, for a while, the Jurchens are in a dilemma!

"Damn it!" Seeing this situation, the originally proud Wanyan Shahu suddenly showed anger on his face.
