Chapter 190
When the cavalry of the Liao army saw that the main general had fallen off his horse, he did not dare to trample on it like his companions had fallen off his horse, so he hurriedly and anxiously grabbed the reins, so this chaos occurred immediately, and countless iron cavalry fell off their horses and were trampled by the latecomers.
The chaos in this area is even greater than the chaos caused by the explosion of a landmine.
At this time, Jeruzara, who was held by Baili Yi and fell off the horse, couldn't move, even if it was a man with five big and three thick men wearing this hundreds of pounds of iron armor, and fell to the ground, he couldn't move the slightest.
At this time, Bai Liyi didn't care about anything at all, pulled out the saber on his body, put his hands together, and stabbed the head of the knight under him.
The surrounding Liao army is in a hurry, but they can't move to rescue their main general, once the iron cavalry loses speed, even the light cavalry is not as good, except for waiting to be slaughtered, there is no room to fight back, so if it is not the main general falls, even if it is dead, the iron cavalry will not stop the horse.
The iron cavalry that rushed forward from behind was too late to rescue.
And just as the tip of the sword was pierced, Bai Liyi's eyes saw clearly that the knight whose helmet had been knocked off was actually a woman, and the woman's eyes were staring at him.
In an instant, a kind of unbearability flashed in Bailiyi's eyes, maybe Bailiyi didn't have time to think at all, just out of instinct, Bailiyi couldn't contain the falling sword momentum at all, so he could only twist his waist to the left, and the tip of the sword "porphyr" pierced Jeruzala's head.
Stunned, the iron cavalry that ran forward had already aimed the tip of the spear at Bailiyi, and when he saw that Bailiyi was about to be pierced by countless spears. And Jeruzarat of the earth uttered a cry again.
The Iron Cavalry began to retreat.
In fact, at this time, if the Ming army quickly opened the city gate and attacked, it might be able to achieve good results. But the Ming army had no experience with the iron cavalry, not to mention that the main general fell into the hands of the enemy, and he watched Bailiyi be taken away by the Liao army.
At this time, there were some bloody and reckless people in the Ming army in the city, and under the blood and blood, they sneaked out of the south gate of the far city without authorization. Follow the east and west sides of the city wall until the bend of the north wall, and wait for the opportunity to rush out to rescue Bailiyi.
But seeing that the Liao army had no intention of attacking Laiyuancheng. On the contrary, there was a sense of withdrawing troops.
In desperation, the Ming army on the west took the lead in attacking, and the Ming army on the east immediately responded.
The two Ming armies suddenly rushed out from both sides and killed the Liao army.
By this time, the Iron Cavalry had lost its speed. Some have even jumped off their horses. In the face of the Ming army that suddenly rushed over, the iron cavalry was at a loss and was in a mess.
Seeing that the Ming army was rapidly approaching, at this time, Jeruzara, who had already removed his iron armor, pulled Bailiyi up from under his spear, and then put the scimitar under Bailiyi's neck, and shouted: "If you want his life, just rush up." ”
Seeing that the Ming army was about to succeed, he hurriedly stopped. I cried out in my heart for pity.
But the lord will be in the hands of the Liao army, and he will not dare to move forward after all.
Baili Yi saw that Jerusara actually spoke fluent Chinese. He asked aloud, "Are you Han?" ”
Jeruzara smiled and replied, "I am a Khitan. ”
Baili Yi laughed and said, "Do you think that you can coerce the Ming army by holding someone hostage?" ”
Jeruzara said, "Have you not seen it yet?" The Ming army stopped. ”
Baili Yi suddenly turned his head at this time, and shouted at the Ming army who was close at hand: "A certain order for you, charge, rush ......." ”
In an instant, Jeruzara reacted and immediately raised his other hand to cover Bailiyi's mouth, and at this time, Bailiyi slammed into Jeruzala's other sword-wielding hand.
This Han man wanted to commit suicide, but Jeruzara had no time for his hands, and in a hurry, he actually pushed his head in the direction where Baili Yi came.
"Porphyry", there was a muffled sound, and both of them grinned in pain.
At this time, the surrounding Liao soldiers quickly controlled Bailiyi's hands, and Jeruzara tore off a piece of white cloth from the inner lining and blocked Bailiyi's mouth.
Since then, Bailiyi has no chance to struggle.
This series of actions took place at the same time, only in a split second.
Before the Ming soldiers had time to react, it was already over.
At this time, after a crisp shout from Jeruzala, the iron cavalry began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the soldiers of the Ming army watched the Liao army gradually move away, and finally did not dare to make a rash move, so they could only return to the distant city and send a letter to Yan Yun for help.
The Fourth Army of the Black Flag Army of the Ming Army, Baili Yibu, was a team brought out by Baili Wuji at that time, although it was broken up and reorganized several times, but the officers in the army were all from the original Black Flag Guard.
This team has abandoned its main general for the second time, although it was Yun Yang who ordered to retreat last time.
But this time it was different, this time it was watching the Lord be taken captive by the Liao army.
As soon as the adjutants who came to Bailiyi in the far city were combined, they were not reconciled, and they did not dare to wait for the emperor's rescue, so they sent messengers to the bank of the Yalu River, and at the same time selected elite soldiers among nearly 8,000 people, formed a team of 3,000 people, brought enough dry food and grenades, and decided to take advantage of the night to chase in the direction of the Liao army's retreat, and take the opportunity to rescue Bailiyi.
When Baili Wuji rushed to Yizhou City by the Yalu River and learned that Baili Yi was captured by the Liao army outside Laiyuan City, he was in turmoil.
Immediately, Baili Wuji ordered Baili Kang to cross the Yalu River north and pursue the Liao army.
Bailikang's heart is also like a fire, and his brother who grew up in a mess is in danger, so he is naturally worried.
As a result, the 20,000 musketeers of the special combat army were in front, and the artillery compartment of 80 guns began to cross the river.
The next day, after contacting the 5,000 defenders of Laiyuan City, Baili Wuji did not even enter the city, and quickly headed north towards Liaoyang City.
……。
Jeruzara led the iron cavalry all the way to escort Yelujing back to Shangjing, and did not care about the safety of Liaoyang City.
But Yelu Jing was different, the 170,000 Liao army disappeared, not only did not occupy Goryeo, but the war burned to the land of Liao, and the pressure on him, the emperor, was obvious.
If it had not been for Jeruzara to lead 30,000 iron cavalry south to annihilate the 40,000 Ming army, the battle situation would have been even more erosive.
The royal family headed by Yelu Louguo (the younger brother of Yelu Ruan of Liao Shizong) has already shown its dissenting intentions, and if it were not for the invasion of foreign enemies, I am afraid that it would have been reversed.
Although Yelu Jing is full of relatives and confidants in the court, but he can't restrain the tribes from showing their disgust with war, it is true that in the past few years, large and small wars have continued every year, although most of them are victorious, but whether they are victorious or defeated, the number of Khitans who died is increasing day by day, and this war with Fusang has caused as many as 170,000 casualties.
This number of casualties has exceeded the total number of losses in the 10 years of fighting with the Central Plains in previous years, and if we do not try to stop it, it will shake the foundation of the Liaoguo Society. (To be continued......)
