Chapter 587: Wolf Attack

I don't know if it was because of such a large scale for the first time, or for some other reason, Yelu Honggu couldn't sleep, his eyelids kept jumping, and his heart was restless for a while. Although he had participated in several small expeditions before, he had never really commanded a large army.

It would be a lie to say that there was no pressure in Yeluhonggu's heart at all. In war, people will die, either the enemy dies, or they die, and if they are not careful, they may fall into a place of no return. Therefore, this time to suppress Yelu Ruan, Yelu Honggu seems to be reckless, but in fact he is cautious. Along the way, because the camp did not set up camp as required, Yelu Honggu whipped more than a dozen generals in a row, and withdrew two of them and beheaded them.

Yeluhonggu knew very well in his heart that this was his first battle, and it would have a great impact on his prestige. If he wins, he will naturally become the emperor of Da Liao, and no one will blatantly oppose him in Da Liao. But if he loses, his prestige will plummet. On the grassland, heroes have always been judged by victory or defeat, and even if he can ascend to the throne with the support of the Empress Dowager Shu Luping, there will be a turbulent undercurrent, and there will be many violators of yin and yang. That's when he's going to be in a very bad situation.

In the distance, a few wolf howls were heard from outside the tent, and Yelu Honggu frowned, unable to sleep any longer. Ordered the guards to put on their armor and patrol around with a team of guards.

How could this hateful wolf pack lie in front of the two armies at this time, causing the morale of the army to plummet.

Rumors have spread in the army, and there are people who say all kinds of things. Some say that Changshengtian did not want to see the descendants of the gods and goddesses killing each other, so he specially sent the divine wolf to lead the wolves, deliberately cutting off the two armies and not allowing the two armies to fight. Some say that Changshengtian hopes to restore the ancient system of the Khitan people, and the emperor of the Khitan people should be elected by the Khitan Eight Divisions, and should not be solved with knives and swords, so there are so many wolves on the battlefield. There are even more excesses, and even say that Yelu Ruan is the true son of heaven and the real emperor of the Khitans.

For these rumors, Yelu Honggu had ordered more than 30 people to be killed, but the rumors on the surface were suppressed, but the fear and dissatisfaction hidden in the hearts of the soldiers in private could not be erased with blood and steel knives.

"Your Highness Yelu, why haven't you rested yet?" met the general Xiao Ce.

"There is going to be a big battle in the morning, and I can't sleep, so I come out to patrol the camp!" Yelu Honggu replied, "General Xiao, my eyelids are always beating tonight, and my heart is restless, I don't know what the sign is? Should we delay the battle with the thief army tomorrow? After all, the gathering of wolves in front of the battle is not a good sign, and it has a great impact on the morale of the army. I'm afraid that Jerian has set up the battlefield here, and that there is another conspiracy. ”

Xiao Ce laughed and said: "Your Highness is commanding such a big battle for the first time, it is inevitable that you will be a little worried and excited, you can't sleep, you don't rest well, and it's normal for your eyelids to jump. As for the wolves in front of the battle, although they have an impact on the morale of our army, how can they not have an impact on the morale of the enemy?

Moreover, the old thief Yeluanduan came here two days before our army, and it is reported that the wolves were already here at that time. This means that the wolves are not coming against our army, but against the thieves of Jeluandan. I have ordered Xiao Yu, Yelu Mada and other generals to inform the soldiers of the battalion of this news, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted after knowing the truth.

In terms of morale, the morale of the enemy army can only be weaker than ours.

Na Yeluan set the battlefield here, I am afraid that it is because the thief army is extremely low, and it is embarrassing to fight. The old thief then made up his mind and led our army here, hoping to use the wolves to demoralize our army. The old thief thought that in this way, the morale of the two armies would not be much different, and he would not suffer too much loss.

But this old thief probably didn't expect that he would not be able to steal chickens and rice, and his treacherous plan had already been seen through by me. In this battle after dawn, the morale of our army was higher than theirs, the soldiers and horses were stronger than theirs, the men and horses were also three times that of them, and there were far more brave and good generals than them, so there was no reason to be invincible.

If Your Highness delays the time to go to battle, it will make the soldiers in the battalion think that we are afraid of the old thief Yeluanduan, and dampen the morale of our army.

Your Highness doesn't have to worry, it's better to go back to the camp to rest, and leave this patrol to me.

Tomorrow, our army will make food at the end of the day, line up at the end of the day, and then send troops to disperse the wolves in front of the formation, just in time to engage the thief army in the morning, annihilate the thief army in one fell swoop, and capture the old thief Yelu Anduan. ”

Yelu Honggu listened to Xiao Ce's persuasion and felt a little relieved. As soon as the worry was gone, a trace of tiredness came up, thinking that he would have to go into battle to kill the ground after dawn, and it was indeed time to take a good rest, Yelu Honggu smiled and said: "It seems that I am really suspicious, there is General Lao here!" After that, he went back to the camp to rest.

When he arrived, Yelu Honggu was woken up while he was asleep, and after putting on his armor, Yelu Honggu had breakfast, beat drums to gather the generals, and assigned the tasks of the generals, so he led an army of 150,000 out of the camp, leaving only 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp.

Yelu Honggu put his soldiers and horses in order, and advanced five miles, and the sky was already bright, and it was already the hour. Yeluhongu immediately ordered all the generals to set up a large array in this place and fight to the death with Yeluan.

Just as Yelu Honggu's 150,000 soldiers and horses were arranging the formation, he suddenly heard a commotion in the front army, and a horse galloped forward, and the man was not close, and the voice had already arrived: "Your Highness, it's not good, it's not good! Wolf, wolf is coming!"

Yelu Honggu frowned, what is strange about the wolves coming, it must be that Yelu Anduan's men and horses have already come, alarming the wolves, some wolves panicked and panicked, and fled to their side.

With a wave of his hand, Yelu Honggu shouted: "What is the fuss about a few wolves, order the front army to shoot arrows and disperse the wolves that rushed over in both directions." ”

"No...... No!" The man had jumped off his horse, fell to his knees, trembled, and cried out, "Temple...... Your Highness, not a few wolves, but all the wolves rushed towards our army like crazy. Shaw...... General Xiao Yu has already ordered people to shoot arrows to drive away the wolves, but there are too many wolves, and the war horses in the army are frightened by the wolves, it is difficult to control, and they are scurrying around, General Xiao can't resist it!"

"Ah!" Yelu Honggu's face turned pale, what kind of strength Xiao Yu's 30,000 former army was, he knew it clearly, if Xiao Yu's 30,000 soldiers and horses could not withstand the attack of the wolves, the wolves were by no means a little.

Without further ado, Yelu Honggu put on a stirrup, jumped into a nearby lookout car, and jumped into a nearby lookout car.

Boarding the lookout car, the situation for more than ten miles was in full view, and I saw a dense pack of wolves, and I don't know how many wolves were rushing towards his military array. The wolves were very strange, and did not disperse to the side, but pounced on his army with great strength.

Many wild wolves have rushed into the army formation of Xiao Yu, the former army, and Xiao Yu's front army has become a mess and may collapse at any time.

Yeluhongu looked into the distance again, and saw dust and smoke billowing out, needless to say, it was Yeluanduan's brigade of cavalry, which was following the wolves and pounced on him.

At this time, the formation of his army had not yet had time to be arranged, and the soldiers under his command were obviously unaware of the chaos of the front army, and they were all looking ahead without knowing what was happening.

Suddenly, a thought rose from Yelu Honggu's heart: "Could it be that Yelu Ruan is really the destined Lord of the Great Liao, the chosen one of immortality, otherwise, why would even the wolf come to help him." ”

A breath of anger jumped from his heart, and Yelu Honggu only felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood with "wow......
