Seeing that the battle situation had improved, the Liao army retreated from the battle group, and the Liao army generals withdrew from the battle group and retreated. The remaining three bald heads also cursed, and they also jumped out of the circle and ran back with the mighty general.

Leng Yi also hurriedly said to Yang Ye: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

There was a crisp sound of gongs, and the generals of the Song army also retreated, and Zhao Hongrust scolded and scolded, and returned to the Song formation with Bai Hong.

Leng Yi said: "Who is the other party?" So powerful? ”

Bai Hong shook his head: "Martial arts are very weird, it should be the kung fu of the Liao Dynasty in Northern Xinjiang." ”

Zhao Hongrust spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground with hatred, and said, "Damn, the four miscellaneous hairs that ran out of place also have some ability." ”

Leng Yi said: "This Han Kuangsi is the commander of the Liao army, and it is normal to have expert guards around him, and these people should be the guards he invited." ”

At this time, the Liao army began to slowly retreat. Leng Yi said to Yang Ye: "Let's go back too!" ”

In contrast, the Song army captured two Liao army generals alive this time, especially the important figure of the Liao State, Han Kuangsi, the king of Yan who stayed in Nanjing, and Leng Yi, a civil official, challenged the other party and captured the other party alive before thousands of troops. This greatly enhanced Leng Yi's prestige and also greatly enhanced Song Jun's self-confidence. The Liao army can be said to steal chickens and rice.

Escort the two captives back to Yizhou City. Leng Yi rushed to order Han Kuangsi to be escorted up. Unexpectedly, after the soldiers dragged him over, Leng Yi looked at him, his face was dark, his eyes were confused, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, "It's not good!" He seems to have been poisoned! Fast. Hurry up and invite Lang Zhong! ”

The entourage soon arrived. After a closer inspection, he shook his head and said, "Marshal, he has been poisoned by a very powerful poison. What kind of poison it is, I don't know. Old decay can't be saved. ”

Leng Yi hurriedly searched his body and found two small bottles, but he didn't know which was the antidote, and he didn't know how to take it. Hurriedly ripped off the strip of cloth in Han Kuangsi's mouth and said, "Which of these two is the antidote?" Tell me, don't you want to die? ”

Han Kuangsi opened his mouth wide. Gasping for breath with difficulty, there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's useless for you to find the antidote." This poison can only be taken before the onset of the antidote. Once the attack occurs, the gods can't cure it! When I came out to duel you, I took poison, and if I were victorious, I would return. Take the antidote right away and you'll be fine. but if it falls into your hands. Don't expect to pry your mouth open from me and get what you want! ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly, he had already expected that he might take poison, but he didn't expect him to use such a method to take poison, it was really impossible to prevent it.

Now he can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he opens the red bottle and pours out a few pills. Stuff it into their mouths and let the soldier bring the kettle. Pinch his nose and pour water into it.

After waiting for a while, Han Kuangsi did not improve in the slightest, the symptoms of poisoning became even worse, his body began to twitch, fine foam appeared at the corners of his mouth, and his pupils began to dilate. looked at Leng Yi and said, "My son ......, he will avenge me, and he will definitely kill you......"

Leng Yi turned his head and asked Yang Ye, "Who is his son?" ”

"Han Derang, the privy envoy of the Southern Court of the Liao Dynasty. It was the tall military general who chased after Han Kuangsi with three bald guards on the battlefield before! ”

"Is that him?" Leng Yi frowned, this person's martial arts are really high, and he doesn't seem to be under Zhao Hongrust. It's a fierce rival. With such a super master as his backhand, it is no wonder that Han Kuangsi has no fear to duel with himself.

Yang Ye continued: "Han Derang is different from his father, this person has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is a very difficult general to deal with, and his martial arts are very high, known as the first in the Liao Dynasty. This time he should have gone on the expedition with his father. ”

Leng Yi hurriedly gave him another pill from a porcelain bottle.

Han Kuangsi was already angry, he rolled his eyes, and said intermittently: "You will all ...... ...... died outside Youzhou City, none of them could run ......, I ......, I was in front...... Waiting for you ......"

With that, he tilted his head and died.

Leng Yi sighed, put down Han Kuangsi's body, and said, "What about Xiao Tuogu?" Beware of him taking poison too! ”

Yang Yedao: "I have ordered the soldiers to take precautions, and so far, he has not found any symptoms of poisoning." ”

"Okay, hurry up and torture him, be sure to pry his mouth open!"

"Good!" Yang Ye turned around and went out.

Leng Yi took Bai Hong and returned to his residence.

Bai Hong said in a low voice: "The knife just now, are you okay?" ”

Bai Hong's eyes were sharp, and although he was far away, he could clearly see that the dagger ejected from Han Kuangsi's arm pierced Leng Yi's heart. I was really taken aback at the time. Fortunately, Leng Yi is fine. In the end, I was a little worried, so I asked again.

Leng Yi shook his head and said, "It's okay, it didn't hurt me." ”

Zhao Hongyu also saw it clearly, and said: "This old boy is really vicious, but his knife can't hurt you, the old way is really a little strange, could it be that you also know some martial arts?" ”

Bai Hong glanced at him and said, "My husband has an invulnerable golden bell hood iron cloth shirt, and my sword can't hurt him, let alone the old man's dagger." ”

"Really?" Zhao Hongyu looked Leng Yi up and down, "You actually know martial arts?" Will there be such a magical kung fu as the iron cloth shirt? I can't see it, so let's learn from each other! ”

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "I'll order three-legged cat kung fu, if I'm not my father-in-law's opponent, I don't need to fight." ”

"That's not good, you have to compare to know if it's three-legged cat kung fu."

Bai Hong gave him a big roll of his eyes again, and said, "You are an old man, two generations of high-ranking people, are you embarrassed to do it with your grandson-in-law?" If you win, you don't have much face, but if you lose, you have to find a crack in the ground to get into? ”

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "I will never be able to beat my father-in-law." Hey hey"

Zhao Hongrust scratched his head and said: "That's what I said, my old man is two generations higher than him, and it is a loss of identity to do it with the younger generation." He took the initiative to admit defeat again, and I still challenged, but it was too unspeakable. Forget it. ”

Leng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Judging from today's situation, the Liao army has strict discipline, advances and retreats to a certain extent, and the soldiers are brave in battle, sincere and united, and it is indeed a strong enemy." Hopefully, we can pry open Na Shaw's mouth and get what we want. ”

However, what made Leng Yi very disappointed was that although Xiao Tuogu had been tortured for a day and a night, died and lived several times, and the whole person had been tortured to the point that he was not human, he never spoke.

In the hall of the Yizhou Yamen, Leng Yi and Yang Yang Ye and other senior generals held a combat meeting.

Leng Yi said: "That Xiao Tuogu has never spoken, we can only rely on the news from our stall." Vice Marshal Yang, tell me, what should we do next? ”

Yang Yedao: "Judging from the news sent back by the spies sent out in the past few days, the Liao army has sent the main force to the Youzhou area, stationed in Youzhou and nearby Zhuozhou, Jizhou, Danzhou, Shunzhou, and Juyongguan in the military capital Shanguan Pass. Apparently they are ready to fight us in this vast plain. I roughly estimated that the number of troops deployed in this area should be more than 200,000! ”

Leng Yi smiled: "They are compared to us in numbers, I'm afraid they are not our opponents, right?" ”

Yang Ye didn't laugh, and said in a deep voice: "Although the total population of the Liao Dynasty is not as good as our Song Dynasty, they are nomadic people, and they have always been soldiers of the whole people. And our box army basically does not participate in battles, and has no combat effectiveness. No better than them, even if they are fifty or sixty years old, their combat effectiveness is not much inferior to that of young people. Therefore, once they really use their forces to fight, the total number of troops with combat effectiveness is actually not below us. It must not be taken lightly. ”

Leng Yi was a little embarrassed and said, "The Liao Dynasty is so powerful?" ”

"Marshal, don't worry, although the Liao army is indeed very strong, but, judging from my understanding of our forbidden army in the past six months, our forbidden army is no less than them. As long as we play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and command every battle, we will have a chance to defeat them. ”

"Okay, anyway, I don't understand the military, everything will be Lao Lao Linggong."

"The last general will definitely do his best to live up to the marshal's expectations."

"What's next, what are we going to do? Do you want to keep waiting for the message? ”

Yang Ye shook his head: "I can't wait any longer, although the enemy situation is not very clear, but I can't afford to delay the time." It's already early October, it's winter, and it's already cold, but it's going to be even colder. Once the Youzhou area enters the winter, the snowstorm is raging, and the weather will be very cold, and the Liao army has lived in the cold for a long time, and its cold resistance is far better than that of our army, and fighting in the severe cold is extremely unfavorable to us. Moreover, our 400,000-strong army is stationed here, and the cost of grain and grass is also quite staggering. After decades of operation, the Liao army has hoarded a large amount of grain here, and they want to use the strong city defense to delay with us, drag us into the harsh winter, and then engage us at war. If we wait any longer, we will fall for them. Therefore, we must rush to a decisive battle with the Liao army before entering the bitter cold! ”

"Makes sense, how to fight this battle?"

"At present, the deployment of the Liao army is basically what we originally expected. Therefore, we still follow our original battle plan, and divide into three routes, after completing the siege of Youzhou, we will attack Youzhou, once we defeat Youzhou, even if we enter the harsh winter, we will not be afraid. Before we complete the encirclement of Youzhou, our main force in the south cannot storm Youzhou, because then the chances of victory are not great. Moreover, before the Western Route Army captured the Juyong Pass and other passes in the Jundu Mountain, we besieged Youzhou, and the reinforcements of the Liao army and the iron cavalry would come in from Juyong Pass, and it would be difficult for our army, which was mainly infantry, to fight against their heavy armored iron cavalry in such a vast plain. will suffer a big loss. At that time, we could only retreat to Yizhou, and in this way, our overall plan would be frustrated. The whole situation will fall into disadvantage. ”

"Well, what should I do?" (To be continued......)
