"It's just a group of flat-headed leaders, how can there be more people?" Han Kuangmei's heart tightened when she heard this, but she sneered loudly and calmly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"That's the case, when you reunite with Yelu Deguang, why don't you ask him personally?" Zheng Ziming shrugged his shoulders and gave the answer with a smile.

400,000 troops are imaginary numbers, and if 400,000 troops need to be dispatched in any war, the supply of food and grass alone can drag the sending troops alive. In this southern invasion, the Liao army claimed to be 400,000, and the real dispatch was at most 70,000 or 80,000 people, and nearly half of them were auxiliaries and miscellaneous soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was not the same as that of the regular soldiers.

But in the old land of Yan Zhao, the number of "flat-headed Qiantou" is in the millions. After the last Liao army overthrew the Great Jin Dynasty, the reason why the troops were hastily withdrawn was because they were resisted by the "Pingtou Qiantou". Especially in Hebei, the Danzhou Rebel Army, under the leadership of Wang Qiong, cut off the retreat of the Liao army several times. The Liao emperor at that time, Yelu Deguang, completely lost his confidence in ruling the Central Plains, and retreated north in a panic in the name of summer vacation. didn't wait to return to Youzhou, and died depressed. (Note 1)

Before his death, Yelu Germany summed up the lessons of his failure and admitted that he had committed three irreparable mistakes: first, allowing officials to loot the people's money, second, conniving at the Khitan soldiers to fight grass valleys, and third, failing to send back the surrendered Jiedu envoys early to govern the towns.

And there is only one consequence of these three mistakes. The people's hearts were lost, and the flames of resistance burned all over the wilderness.

As the eagle dog of the emperor of Liao, Han Kuangmei also served in Yelude in front of the saddle in the last battle of the southern invasion. I still remember the feeling of losing a dog when I retreated in panic. Therefore, when Zheng Ziming asked him to go underground to ask the dead Yelu Deguang for advice, he was immediately stimulated to smoke again, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "You, you are not reckless! Ling Zun is still imprisoned in Yingzhou, he, like you, spoke loudly! In the end, he ended up ruining the country and the family!"

This is a bit shameless, and it is like the image of a good son that he has been trying to maintain. Zheng Ziming heard this, but his face was still calm, "Last year, my father had asked someone to bring back the edict of the throne, the Zen position and the Liu family. I'd rather die than fight for the tiger. Zheng is proud of him whether he is born or not. And you, hehe, after a thousand years, I don't know if the descendants of the Han family still have the courage to mention what their ancestors did at this moment?"

"You, you, Lao Tzu is fighting with you! There is a kind of fighting general!" Han Kuangmei couldn't bear it anymore, and with a swing of the spear, he was going to fight to the death with Zheng Ziming.

"Just as I wished!" Zheng Ziming sneered slightly, and raised the steel whip without hesitation.

At this moment, Han Kuangmei didn't even have room to retreat, so she could only roar and rush forward. Han Zhuo, who joined the army, was beside him, secretly observing every move of both the enemy and us. found that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased out, hugging Han Kuangmei's back with both hands. "General, don't fall for someone else's provocative method!"

"General, the general is the dry city of the country, how can he equate himself with a villager? And let him take advantage of it verbally, and when the army arrives, he will definitely crush Li Jiazhai into powder!" Ma Yanxu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, also rushed forward and grabbed one of Han Kuangmei's arms.

Seeing this, the other staff members and pro-soldiers didn't know what to do? They also rushed forward a few steps one after another, protecting Han Kuangmei tightly behind them. The horn bow in his hand, but he never dared to shoot another arrow at the opposite side!

The surname Zheng is very big, has rich experience in killing, and he is not afraid of death. No matter who goes head-to-head with him, it will be difficult to take advantage. What's more, General Han is a famous general who commands tens of thousands of troops, and the surname Zheng, if he doesn't change his surname back to "Shi", he is a villager!

Meiyu can't be used to smash stones, and sycamore can't be used as wood. Han Kuangmei was annoyed and angry, and she cut off her retreat, so she had to try to grit her teeth and rush forward. Now that someone has handed the ladder to his feet, how can he continue to run down the road to the dark? Immediately, he poked his spear into the ground and said loudly: "The surname Zheng will let you go once tonight." The brothers under Lao Tzu's command will be looking for him soon, if you know each other, go back and straighten out the soldiers, and let's fight it out in the future!"

"The eight hundred men under Lao Tzu's command are about to finish cleaning the battlefield. If you continue to bluff, be careful that you will never be able to go down the mountain!" Zheng Ziming looked back at the way he came, and responded quietly.

As the saying goes, hemp straw beats wolves, and both ends are afraid. At this moment, both sides actually have no bottom in their hearts. But both the enemy and us pretended to win, and neither of them was willing to expose their own reality first.

Just when it was difficult to ride a tiger, in the night wind, there was a sudden noisy shout, "Kill, kill Ma Yanxu." Don't let him run away! Kill him, and everyone will be promoted to the third rank!"

"Kill, kill Ma Yanxu. Don't let him run away...... "Kill, kill Ma Yanxu......" The echo reverberated between the mountains, and in the darkness, I don't know how many villagers rushed over?

"It's cold tonight, it's cheap for you, let's see the real chapter in three days!" Han Kuangmei shuddered in her heart, pulled out her spear from the ground, turned around and left.

The black light is blinding, and the rest of the cronies he led will have to say whether they can be found in time. And the village warriors under the village husband Zheng Ziming are all local snakes. Even if you close your eyes, you won't go the wrong way. If they arrive first, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Stop, you and I are not divided, we can fight again in the future, but the surname Ma must stay!" Zheng Ziming seemed to be killed by the shouting in the night sky, plucked up the courage of his whole body, swung the steel whip, and chased after him.

"The surname Ma stays, otherwise no one will want to leave!" Zhongxiang Yong followed behind Zheng Ziming, a fox and a tiger.

As natives, they didn't have to listen carefully to know that the shouts of killing were at least a mountain beam away from this side. But since the other party has shown his timidity, how can he not firmly grasp the opportunity on his side?

"You, don't deceive people too much!" Hearing the footsteps of the pursuers getting closer and closer, Han Kuangmei could only stop retreating and prepare for battle with the whole team, "The surname Zheng, what do you want? Don't force me to fight to the death!"

"I don't want to do anything. If you dare to come to the door, you have to pay the price. No one can expect to come when they want, and leave when they want!" Seeing that the enemy army was prepared, Zheng Ziming decisively stopped, and also began to organize the team on the mountain road, and only after the formation was adjusted, he launched the final attack.

"You ......" Han Kuangmei was so angry that her eyes were on fire, but she didn't have the courage to fight to the end with the other party after all. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly snatched a steel knife from his own soldier's hand, turned around, and raised the knife in his hand.

"Ahh Han Kuangmei didn't look at him, bent down and picked up half of the bloody arm, turned around again, and threw it at Zheng Ziming, "He lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he will not escape death when he goes back." But Han's duty is not for you to arrest him. And leave you an arm, and the rest will be made up after he is dealt with by military law, how about it?"

"Then Zheng, it's disrespectful!" Zheng Ziming picked up the broken arm in his hand, weighed the weight, and agreed with a smile.

Since he was not sure that he would leave Han Kuangmei behind, it would be cost-effective to take half of Ma Yanxu's arm first. When you go back, you can use this half arm to boost morale. And Ma Yanxu returned to the Liao army, even if he was not executed according to military law, he would not be able to go to the battlefield again in this life.

The thief must be beaten before they weigh the weight carefully before the next robbery. The reinforcements of the thieves arrived, and Han Kuangmei claimed that there were 20,000 people. Zheng Ziming didn't know how long he could block these 20,000 strong beams, but he firmly believed that he could make the strong beams pay enough price!

Note 1: This is a historical fact, not a fabrication. Yelu Deguang himself summed up the reasons why he failed to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains, and also admitted that he had to leave because he forced the people to rebel. He summed up three mistakes, the first one, the second one, and the third one for not repatriating the Jiedu envoys early to govern the towns. On the way back to the north, he died of illness in Luancheng, Hebei.
