Liu Yu replied: "Those people should have run home, they didn't really support Yelu Shilu, they were just forced by him to get involved in this war." Yelu Shilu did not dare to go to war before, probably because he was afraid that these people would flee from the battle and ruin his own affairs. But now that the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to escape, and I am afraid that more and more people will take the opportunity to leave. ”

Chi Hulu asked suspiciously, "You dragged Yelu Shilu's people all the way to chase after him just to create an opportunity for those who wanted to escape? How did you know about this news, why have I never heard of it or the third prince?"

Liu Yu pointed to the soldiers behind him and said with a smile: "Because you are a great general, how can these ordinary soldiers dare to drink with you." And I mingle with them every day, and they treat me like their own brother, and they are willing to tell me more things than you. ”

Yao Yantai was a little dissatisfied after hearing this, clenched his fists and said angrily: "These soldiers don't report it one by one, and they don't take the great cause of the third prince's throne to heart, they simply deserve to be killed." Since they can know the situation in the camp of Jerusherus, they must all be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, which is simply a heinous crime, the opposite, the opposite!"

Liu Yu comforted: "Brother Chi, don't be angry. My Sixth Master and Yelu Shilu are incompatible, but it doesn't mean that ordinary Khitan disciples are also enemies of each other. Take, for example, the soldiers in our battalion, many of whom have uncles and cousins who serve in the army of Jerusherus. Although a big battle is imminent, it is normal for these relatives to communicate with each other. ”

Chi Hugang had a somewhat strange look on his face, looked back at the long line behind him, and asked: "Let's not talk about these first, I just want to ask, what else did they say to you?" Liu Yu smiled and said: "Brother Chi, you don't believe me, in addition to what they just said, what they can tell me is extremely limited, after all, we all live in the same military camp all day long." Besides, I'm not a charlatan who likes to gather information, haha!"

Chi Hugang looked into his eyes and said: "You are not a charlatan, but you are a thief than those quacks, their 'thieves' can be seen from their faces, but you have the appearance of a deputy loyalty, and you have deceived everyone!" Liu Yu said: "That's because I'm a stupid person, where do you need to dress loyally?"

Chi Hu stared at Liu Yu's bulging chest, knowing that there was a red book that Liu Yu often held in his hand and read, and asked: "Did you think of all the methods to deal with Yelu Shilu before?" Is there any trick in the red book you have been reading, if I know your Central Plains Chinese characters, I really want to see and know!" he said, and there was a light in his eyes.

Liu Yu laughed after hearing this, and said, "Brother Chi, you are exalting me too much. Even if the book had a clever plan and was given to a stupid man like me, it would have been in vain! I will tell you the truth, these methods were taught to me by the soldiers below, and they told me to keep marching like this, so that their aunts and cousins would have a chance to escape on the road. When Yelu Shilu saw that there were fewer men and horses, he would definitely not dare to come and attack us. ”

Chi Hulu asked again: "So, the previous method of singing to scare the Yelu Shilu army was also thought up by them?" Liu Yu touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "This is what I thought of myself, because singing can strengthen our courage, our courage is strong, and our morale is up, and the enemy will naturally be afraid!"

"It's that simple?" asked Haruka.

"Yes!" replied Liu

Chi Ku still couldn't believe it, and asked, "The third prince often tells me that Lao Shizi is a soldier, and he is treacherous, and I don't understand it. Just tell me, doesn't your red book really teach you any ghost ways of yin people?" Liu Yu said: "I won't tell you anything, but the method of fighting is a little bit taught, the main thing is to teach people to fight hard!" Saying that, he unconsciously touched the book "Mirror of the Six Armies" in his arms, and warmly padded it to his chest, making him feel at ease.

Chi Hu sneered: "Hehe, you have to fight hard, this is a human being!" He snorted a few times, still thinking that Liu Yu didn't tell the truth to himself. He glanced at the soldiers a few more times, and a sentence that had been pressed in his heart for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say it at this moment, "The two people I sent to you, Bao Huji and Long Tai, why are they not in the team, I haven't seen them all day today, where have they gone?"

Liu Yu said: "Abao and Atai are the two people I trust the most, so I gave them the most important task. Chi Huhu asked in amazement, "What task?" As soon as he finished speaking, the rumbling iron hooves of the Yelu army, two miles away, suddenly became rapid, and rushed like a storm, mixed with the shouts of soldiers, the smashing of weapons, and the thunder of war drums.

Chi Hu said: "Not good! Yelu Shilu must have felt that his men and horses were running less and less, and he was going to fight a battle to boost his morale." Look at the appearance of the enemy's army, and now they are about to charge!" he realized that although many of Jerusherus's army had fled at this moment, there were still far more men and horses left than his own.

Liu Yu said: "Brother Chi, don't worry! We have been prepared for this, and Ah Bao and Ah Tai went for this matter. Now the only thing to do is to hasten the march, and not to engage the men of Jerushhrus here!" he gave the order, and the soldiers of the tent immediately marched forward with their horses. Halfway through the journey, Liu Yutu gave another order, and the army turned to the south.

After most of the day's march, the drunkards of the day all woke up one after another, and one by one they were in high spirits, and they galloped on the grassland under the night sky with their whips, and they actually cried out with a whine in their mouths, and seemed very excited. Chihu has been marching and fighting for decades, where have I ever seen such a scene - a group of soldiers are being chased by their tails, and they can still make a sound of joy!

He turned his head to Liu Yu and asked, "Liu Yingying, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into them, so that they are not afraid of heaven and earth?" Liu Yu laughed and said, "Brother Chi, I don't have ecstasy soup, only wine, but unfortunately I am almost finished, and I can only grab the enemy's wine to drink!"

The corners of Chihu's mouth twitched, and he said, "I'm afraid those people of Jerushhrus are not like you, they are not in the mood to march with wine. Liu Yu smiled and said, "That's really boring!" He looked back to the rear, and saw that although Yelu Shilu's army was chasing closely, it was always separated from his own side by more than a mile, thinking that it might be because the soldiers on the other side had not even eaten dinner, and their morale was quite low.

The two armies chased after me, and more than an hour passed, and gradually it came to the second half of the night. Some of the soldiers in Jerusher's army could not bear the sleepiness and fell off one after another, so that the men and horses in his army were a little less. At the same time, the vanguard of the other army pursued more and more rapidly in this direction. These people are presumably the sons and daughters of Jerusherus. Some of them had already chased within 500 paces and began to fire arrows one after another.

Chi Hu hurriedly said: "Let's prepare for the battle, if we continue to run away like this, the soldiers will lose their morale and become a mess." He reined in his horse and reached for the brass hammer that hung from his saddle, ready to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu snatched the handsome flag from the hand of his follower behind him, rode his horse to the front of the team, and shouted: "If you want to win the battle, follow me, ten miles ahead, is the burial place of Yelu Shilu's army!"

He held a big banner and rode forward, and the soldiers behind him cheered and thundered, and Chi Hu was a little overwhelmed when he saw this, and after hesitating for a moment, he also rushed up, muttering in his heart as he ran, "These people must be crazy, and they have to be so happy to run away!"

Under the guidance of Liu Yu's banner, the mighty army rushed to the "land of ten miles" in his mouth, and these soldiers were convinced that a great victory was waiting for them!

Chi Huyi approached one of the soldiers and asked quietly, "Why do you believe that Liu Yu so much?" The soldier respectfully saluted him and said, "General Qiyu, Liu Yingying is the best drinker among so many of us, he is more righteous than all the grassland people I have ever seen, if I don't even believe him, who else can I trust!"

Chi Huyi was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "What kind of reason is this!" He shook his head helplessly, and rushed forward with the army. He knew that he lacked the ability to lead the army, and it was difficult to replace Liu Yu. At this moment, he was only looking forward to when the third prince would suddenly descend from the sky and save more than 20,000 people from the hands of Jerusherus.

His burly body fell with the horse's back, and the cold wind of the prairie awakened his unrealistic fantasies. Jerusherus' army was in hot pursuit, but the third prince was probably far away at this time. He stared at Liu Yu's back in a daze, hoping that this drunken young man would not bury the last foundation of the Yao Yuan clan.

The army galloped forward for about a cup of tea, and Liu Yu suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, and the horse continued to rush forward a few feet away because of great inertia. The horse he was riding was already fierce, but when he stopped, he suddenly stood up, and was about to throw Liu Yu off the horse, and he was shocked when he saw it.

However, Liu Yu himself sat on the back of a fierce horse, but it was better than a leisurely stroll. He took advantage of the fact that the horse man was standing, grabbed the reins of the horse with his left hand and stood upright, and waved the blood-red handsome flag with his right hand, which was enough for the soldiers who were a hundred paces away to see clearly. He shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

The soldiers shouted loudly with torches, and the skyrocketing fire lit up the night sky.

"Eagle!"

"Eagle!"

"Eagle!"

In the rear, the army of Jerusherus rushed like a tidal wave, and columns of archers bore the brunt of it. These cavalry archers rushed forward, bending their bows on horseback and shooting arrows, and the rain of arrows came overwhelmingly.

When he was still 300 paces away from the enemy, Liu Yu shouted, "Smash the altar!" Chi suddenly saw that a large number of soldiers on horseback were already waiting by the ox carts containing the wine jars.

Hearing Liu Yu's order, these soldiers picked up four or five wine jars one by one and rushed forward, and then restrained their horses to stop beyond the range of the enemy's bows and arrows. A large number of soldiers took the altar in turn, and rushed forward to smash it one by one, and soon the front of the two armies was covered with clay fragments of altars and jars.

Liu Yu shouted, "Zhi Dun!"

After obeying the order, the soldiers immediately dismounted, raised large wooden shields and rushed to the front of the position, forming a large and tight shield array. The bowstrings of the enemy archers rang out continuously, and patches of arrows burst through the air with the sound of birds, and they trembled and buzzed on the wooden shields. From time to time, soldiers were knocked down by cold arrows and let out loud screams, but none of them retreated timidly.

Because everyone could see that Liu Yu, the eagle that did not fall on the grassland, had rushed out of the shield array at this moment, and he stood at the front of the line, waving the handsome flag with both hands. Since even the main general is not afraid of death, what reason do the soldiers have to be afraid of death?

I saw Liu Yu swinging the handsome flag, rolling a bunch of arrows in the flag, and then sending it with both hands, under the coercion of the flag, many arrows **** out. More than a dozen Yelu archers had no time to dodge and fell off their horses screaming.

Listening to the roar of the war drums in the Yelu clan's main formation, the remaining archers had to rush forward and shoot at the Yaoran army. At this time, Liu Yu ordered the soldiers to fall on the fragments of the jar jar in front of the battle, and many of the horses of the Piyerlu clan were accidentally punctured with their hooves, and in shock, they turned the riders on their backs off their horses.

Liu Yushuai waved a large number of arrows, and at the same time, his arms secretly carried the method of "Lianzhu Jin". At the same time as the arrows pierced the armor of the fallen archers, another force arose, merging with the previous strength, only to hear the sound of snorting, and the powerful arrows nailed those archers to the ground alive and could not get up.

Chi Hu hid behind the shield array, and his heart jumped suddenly as he watched Liu Yu fight the Yelu clan archers alone. I don't think he is a greedy person who is afraid of death, but if he is left alone to face the enemy, he will never be able to do it. He hurriedly shouted: "Liu Yingying, come back quickly, you are the main general, this is too dangerous!"

Liu Yu turned back to him and smiled: "Brother Chi, don't worry, please take care of my soldiers!" He didn't mean to flinch, rode on horseback, and waved his handsome flag with both hands to meet the rain of arrows.

Inspired by his fearless spirit, those shield soldiers slowly raised the thick wooden shield in their hands and smashed it on the Khitan grassland under the night sky. The sound of shields hitting the ground came and went, deep and majestic. The original rousing sound of war drums of the Yelu clan was suddenly overshadowed by comparison.

The rest of the Yelu clan archers were stunned by Liu Yu, in their opinion, this person who didn't care about his life and death, and waved the handsome flag in front of the battle was simply a madman. There is a saying in the grasslands that "it is better to meet a warrior than a madman!" If you meet a warrior, you can still fight, and if you meet a madman, you can only fight to the death with him.

These Yelu archers were obviously not prepared to fight to the death, and their formation spread out two hundred paces away from Liu Yu's main formation.

Two hundred paces was exactly the maximum range that a bow and arrow could reach on the steppe, and these Yelu archers were reluctant to go even one step further. The madman Liu Yu and the sound of shields hitting the ground behind him made their hearts seem to be out of breath. They only hope to finish the remaining arrows in their quivers as soon as possible, complete the mission of harassment, and then immediately retreat to their main formation.

At this moment, the main general of the Yelu clan army must have seen the low morale of his side, and one after another heavy cavalry walked out of the other formation. Vast expanses of iron armor shimmered under torches, covering both cavalry and horses. When Chi Hulu saw these iron-clad heavy cavalry, he couldn't help but feel terrified in his heart.

There was already a shortage of blacksmiths and iron ore in the steppes, and it would take unimaginable effort and money to put so many cavalry and horses in iron armor. It was the first time in his life that he had seen so many ironclad cavalry on the Khitan grassland.

Known as the "Scythe of the Prairie", the Ironclad Cavalry does not harvest wheat, but it does harvest human heads like wheat. A sense of despair rose in Chi Huyi's heart, "Yelu Shilu's strength is too strong, and the third prince wants to compete with him for the throne, which is simply hitting a stone with an egg." At this moment, he felt lucky for the escape of the third prince, because this battle was bound to be lost!

Hearing the sound of war drums in the battle of the Yelu army, the ironclad cavalry rushed out of the formation one after another, converging into a river of iron, bound to strangle all the people in the place they passed. Under the heavy sound of horses' hooves, the ground seemed to tremble under his feet. Beside him, the eyes of those soldiers of the Yao Yuan clan also began to show fear.

Before Liu Yu became independent, Ling Ran was not afraid. If the other party is a stream of iron, he is a rock, an indestructible steel rock. The river can break bridges and carry away drowning people, but it can never wash away a rock that is entrenched in the earth. For at the foot of the rock is the earth, and the earth cannot be shaken by the waters.

With the force of his feet, he jumped into the air and stood on horseback. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of soldiers of the Yao Yuan clan, he danced a handsome flag in his hand through the wind and rain, and swept the rain of arrows to the ground. At this moment, a group of Yao Yuan clan archers immediately stood behind their shield array, and they all looked at the main general Liu Yu who was fighting alone in front of the formation, and they were excited by his bravery.

Liu Yu shouted loudly: "Prepare the archers!" These archers were extremely excited when they heard the order, they straightened their bodies, and when the main general gave the order, they rode their horses out of the shield array and launched the strongest counterattack against the enemy. The sky-high flames reflected the fire in the pupils of all the soldiers, but their eyes were focused on the same person.

Liu Yu looked back at the soldiers, his gaze seemed to pass over everyone, so that everyone was inspired. A thought arose in the hearts of the crowd, "If this battle is going to be won, we are willing to fight for this man." If this battle is going to be lost, we're willing to die for it!"

Liu Yu's figure was reflected brightly by the blazing firelight, and even the bright moon in the night sky was robbed of his brilliance. With a wave of his arms, the bright red handsome flag unfurled in the wind, like a touch of blood soaring in the night sky, carving a permanent mark on the Khitan grassland this night.

He shouted, "Attack!" and his voice was so thick that it was hard to believe that he was still a teenager at the moment. The archers of the Haruka clan were already hungry and thirsty, and at this moment their thirst for the blood of the enemy exceeded all else, and they rushed out of the shield array like arrows from the string.
