Chapter 4: The Return (6)

On the battlefield, the quickest and most cowardly way to die is to turn your back on the enemy. This principle is also applicable to the Central Plains and the Saiwai.

More than 20 Khitan cavalrymen who fled without a fight did not run away, and were soon shot off their horses one by one by the Cangzhou warriors. Their mounts and weapons also became trophies for the Cangzhou warriors, and they were pulled near the fire to be picked up.

Liaodong horses are tall and strong, and they are first-class horses. The armor and weapons on the cavalry of the Liao State are a rare material supplement for the Cangzhou warriors at this moment. Especially behind the horse of the head of the Liao Kingdom, there are actually six brand-new flying axes, although they are lighter than Zheng Ziming's usual weight, but they can also be called charcoal in the snow.

However, at this moment, Zheng Ziming's face did not have much joy. The battle just now lasted for a short time, and the intensity was average. However, it caused the Cangzhou army to suffer the heaviest losses in five days. Two brothers were killed on the spot, and three brothers fell off their horses and were seriously injured by their own horses.

As for the minor injuries caused by the feathered arrows, there is no need to count them. Counting carefully, there is no scar on the body of the entire team now, I am afraid that only Zheng Ziming's father, Shi Chonggui, is one. Fortunately, before going north this time, everyone brought enough refined salt, spirits and gold medicine. And the elites who were selected to go to Liaodong have more or less learned some emergency battlefield care. Basically, after every battle, Zheng Ziming doesn't need to do it himself, everyone helps each other, and they can treat the wounds well.

"You have destroyed more than 100 enemies, and you have only lost five, and you have done a very good job. There's no need to be too yourself!" Shi Chonggui stepped forward lightly and whispered on his son's shoulder. "I think back then, if you had your current three-point ability, you wouldn't let the Khitans hit Bianliang in one go. ”

"Dad, I'm fine, don't bury yourself all the time. Zheng Ziming responded in a low voice while trying to use water to suppress the body temperature near the broken bone for a seriously injured person. "I was thinking just now that this Khitan East Route Army was ordered to intercept me. Like the other troops and horses we met a few days ago, they all received a message from Han Kuangsi, so they came over to pick up the bargain with the mood of giving it a try! Could Yeludelie, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, also come? In that case, I'm afraid our route back will have to change!"

"It should be the latter, Yeludilie was placed near Youzhou, not just to let him deter the Han family father and son nearby. In fact, Yelu Ruan is killing two birds with one stone, and at the same time, Han Kuangsi is also holding back Yelu Diri. Therefore, if it were not for Yelu Ruan's holy decree, Yelu Dilie would never dare to lead his troops to advance!" Shi Chonggui immediately smiled, took over the conversation, and gave an answer seriously.

"Hiss-" Zheng Ziming frowned slightly and inhaled in a low voice.

Although he and Zhou Xin had already determined the identity of the enemy army once. But that's just a hasty speculation and not a good basis. And now, it seems that the answer is on the table.

The news of his coming to Liaodong has officially reached the ears of the emperor of Liao, and it has been confirmed from various channels. Therefore, the Khitan Eastern Route Army received an official order from the Emperor of Liao, left the station, and launched a search and pursuit of him. The Khitans stationed in the vicinity of Liaodong are probably the same as the Eastern Route Army at this moment, casting a net all over the world to find him, vowing to make it difficult for their father and son to fly!

"Actually, the situation is almost the same as before! 10,000 people chasing you and 100,000 people chasing you are no different at all!" Shi Chonggui's idea was much more optimistic than Zheng Ziming's, shaking his head and deliberately speaking very loudly.

Since five days ago, no matter how much he made up the story, he couldn't let his son give up his determination to save himself from the sea of suffering, and his personality suddenly became extremely cheerful. Not only did he stop crying, but he complained all day long that he was a disaster. Instead, he shook his spirits and took the initiative to be a military advisor to his son. Although the strategies that are devised are usually not implementable. But the occasional flash of inspiration in my mind can indeed give people a refreshing feeling.

This time, Shi Chonggui's words just got to the point again.

When encountering a hundred enemy troops, the Cangzhou warriors can usually wipe them out. Encountering two hundred enemy troops, the Cangzhou warriors were half sure that they would be defeated. If the number of enemy troops exceeds 500, unless the leading commander makes the mistake just now, otherwise, the Cangzhou warriors will not even have a chance of winning. If the number of enemy troops exceeds two thousand, the change in numbers is meaningless. The group had no choice but to flee for their lives.

"Yes, it doesn't matter who sent him, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run! Anyway, Liaodong is full of barren mountains and mountains, and it is not easy for the Khitan people to find us!" Infected by Shi Chonggui's optimism, Tao Dachun also stepped forward and said with a smile.

"But isn't it, general, let's kill all the way from Yingzhou to here, back and forth, and stir up Liaodong to the bottom. It's worth it, even if you die in battle, this life is enough to be beautiful!" Li Shun'er has always been open-mouthed, and when there is something in her stomach, she will go straight out.

"Isn't it, it's a big deal, let's turn around and head north. Go and play with the female straight man to catch bears and blind people, I don't believe that the Khitans can keep the whole country blocked here!"

"It's worth it, in the past, the Khitans went to the Central Plains to burn and loot all the way, and used us as two-legged sheep. This time, let's be majestic, let the Khitan people know that I also have men in the Central Plains!"

......

Infected by Shi Chonggui's optimism, all the warriors also spoke one after another and took the initiative to reassure their coach.

"I, I, I swear, I will take everyone back alive!" Zheng Ziming's heart suddenly swelled up, he raised his head with red eyes, and arched his hand to everyone around him.

It's worth it, in this life, there is such a group of companions who share life and death, even if he dies in Liaodong this time, it is indeed worth it. However, he didn't want to die, and he didn't want his companions to die again. He wants to work hard with everyone to live and live a more wonderful life, so that those who are bent on putting him to death, so that Yelu Ruan, the bullshit emperor of Liao, will never get what he wants. will always have an unsolvable knot in his heart, until he becomes a corpse in depression.

"I'll continue to explore the way in front of the head!" Li Shun smiled and took the initiative to ask.

"There is a ready-made fire, and freshly burned mare's milk. The jerky seems to have just been hot!" Tao Dachun rubbed his eyes and quickly took over the conversation. "Let's all eat a little, and when we are full, we will have the strength to continue fighting!"

"The infantry is running slowly, and those cowards who have drilled into the woods will not be able to leak our whereabouts and news for a while!"

"Eat first, people are iron, rice is steel!"

The optimism spread rapidly throughout the team. The big guy makes wine with milk, takes the ground as a feast, and eats the meat in his left hand and the meat in his right hand.

"If only there were really people among us who could speak Khitan dialect!" While eating, Li Shun suddenly sighed and sighed loudly, "So many soldiers and horses came to us, and no one knew anyone. If any of us have Khitan words that are very slippery, just put the armor of the Eastern Route Army on ......"

"What did you say?" Before the words fell, Shi Chonggui had already stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Li Shun's collar and grabbed Li Shun's collar, and his agility did not look like an old man who had been imprisoned for many years. "You, you, again, again?"

Li Shun'er was taken aback, she didn't dare to push him away, blushed, and stammered, "Hey, hey, I, I didn't mean to really be a Khitan." I, I mean, let's, let's pretend to be Khitans to fish in troubled waters. I, I, I said it's a pity that none of us can speak fluently Khitan ......"

"I, I will, I will!" Shi Chonggui's eyes lit up with excitement, and the whole person instantly became ten years younger. A fluent Khitan dialect gushed out, "He Sanino, Ta Lahara, Amu Riwu, Hana Le!

He is no longer a drag, he can help his son! He is expensive, he has been thinking about it day and night, and he has finally looked forward to today!
