Chapter 151: Burning the Boat

Li Fengyun and the others are all strong in martial arts, their eyesight is not bad, two or three miles away, although they can't see their faces clearly, but it is not difficult to see the actions of the two armies clearly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw that before the forty or fifty horsemen approached Majiakou, a team of more than two hundred Khitan iron horsemen had already killed Majiakou and went straight to kill the group of people.

The group of people seemed to know the power of the Khitan iron horse, and when they saw the Khitan iron horse come out, they immediately turned their horses' heads, turned around and fled. The Khitan iron cavalry refused to let them go, and chased after them.

Li Fengyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, laughed twice, and said, "This method is not bad! Let's go burn the ship too!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Fengyun, and they didn't know what good ideas he had.

Li Fengyun said with a smile: "We always have two thousand elite horsemen, and there are one thousand two hundred foot soldiers in the Fengyun Battalion, and our strength is not weak." If we also follow the method of that guy, send a thousand cavalry to divert some of the cavalry stationed in Majiakou, not to mention much, as long as we can lead away two thousand defenders, then we will still have 1,000 elite cavalry and 1,200 foot soldiers.

With this thousand elite cavalry, 1,200 foot soldiers, they entered the dock, and assigned 1,000 elite cavalry to resist the enemy troops left in Yangjiakou, and the others were responsible for setting fire to the ship. As long as we get out before the cavalry of the enemy camp arrives, they can't do anything about us.

I think, even if that Yelu twist gets the news, sends reinforcements, and kills Majiakou, he will always have a stick of incense!"

Everyone thought about it slightly, agreed, discussed it again, and decided to divide a thousand fine cavalry, divided into five groups, ranging from more than 100 people to more than 300 people each, pretending to be a good man in Hebei by the green forest, led by Zhao Kuangyin, to lead the enemy army in Majiakou in batches, and discussed the place of convergence and the route of retreat.

In the next two hours, Zhao Kuangyin successively sent these five groups of men and horses to harass the enemy army in Majiakou.

Those Khitans took them in their eyes, and sent a large number of soldiers and horses to chase them down one after another, but they were probably also annoyed by harassment, and they were eager to kill a few groups of people and horses, so how could they let them go?

The 1,000 elite horsemen led by Zhao Kuangyin also refused to fight with them, but as long as the Khitans had the intention of stopping and retreating, they immediately turned their horses' heads and followed after them, but if the Khitans turned their horses' heads and fled far away, they were so angry that the Khitans' teeth rattled.

Li Fengyun counted the people who were lured away, estimated that the remaining Khitans in Majiakou were less than a thousand horsemen, and saw that it was getting late, greeted him, and led the rest of the men and horses to slip out of the dense forest, and slowly approached Majiakou, until there was only a little more than a mile away, and with a whistle, everyone instigated the horses and rushed towards Majiakou.

The Khitan guards who stayed in Majiakou did not realize that they had been fooled until this time, hurriedly sounded the horn for help, and led the remaining less than 1,000 people to guard the main roads in Majiakou.

At this time, where can he still hold it? It was also his carelessness, he didn't expect that there was such a large force of cavalry hidden nearby, and for a while, the Khitan iron cavalry of less than 1,000 people was entangled by Li Fengyun's remaining more than 1,000 people, and more than 1,200 people from the Fengyun battalion were killed in Majiakou and set fire everywhere!

In a short time, two or three percent of the ships were on fire.

For a time, Majiakou was on fire.

In order to prevent those boatmen from escaping, the Khitans usually do not allow those boatmen to approach those boatmen, and they are usually confined in camps.

Now that Li Fengyun is coming, the boatman is even more panicked, and many people are looking at the surrounding environment, ready to wait for an opportunity to escape.

There were even some boatmen who took advantage of the inattention of the Khitans guarding the boat and fled by boat, and the Majiakou ferry was in chaos.

Li Fengyun laughed, waved the Phantom Treasure Sword, and killed more than a dozen Khitan iron horsemen in a row.

It's not that the Khitan iron cavalry is useless, it's really too few people, and you can't take care of the east and the west, which is no better than a field battle, and it is always easier to destroy than to guard.

Hearing the horn of Majiakou asking for help, Yelu Mada's face changed, and he hurriedly left the camp, only to see that there was already a fire rising on the side of Majiakou, and he was extremely anxious, secretly scolding the Majiakou guards for being incompetent, and hurriedly sent people to rescue Majiakou.

With the help of Yelu Mada himself, he rushed out of the camp for more than a mile, slaughtered a force of five or six hundred men and horses from one side, cut them down for a while, left 30 corpses, and flew away.

Yelu Mada didn't want to entangle with that group of people, so he hurried to the ferry, Li Fengyun had already taken people away, but Yelu Mada wanted to cry without tears, and most of the boats that he had finally collected were set on fire, and some of them secretly took advantage of the chaos at the dock and fled to the other side. The remaining ships are less than 30% of the original number.

Other defenders were scrambling to put out the fire, hoping to save a few more ships. But how can it be so easy, in order to prevent the wood from rotting in the water, the wooden boat is brushed with thick tung oil, and the burning wooden boat is like ignited oil, which is difficult to extinguish.

The angry Yelu Ma didn't say a word, grabbed the guard of Majiakou, and cut off his head with a knife.

The Khitan people did not have a way to cross the river, a sewn sheepskin, blow it into it, and tie the air mouth, which is the common method of crossing the river by the Khitan people. However, does this method work on the Yellow River? With such a rapid current, there are many whirlpools in the river, and I don't know how many people will be swept into the river to feed Wang Ba by crossing the river in this way.

Most of the Khitan people don't know the nature of water, even if they fall into an ordinary river, they will sink straight into the water like a weighing stone, let alone on the Yellow River?

Moreover, even if people can cross the Yellow River in this way, what about the war horses? How can the war horses pass, and can the Khitan iron cavalry without the war horse still be called the Khitan iron cavalry?

Yelu Ma replied that he was anxious and dry, looking at the situation in front of him, the remaining few ships could transport at most two or three thousand men and horses at a time, and could they hold the opposite bank with two or three thousand men and horses alone?

Jerumada had no bottom in his heart.

But if we don't cross the Yellow River quickly, there will be more and more Jin troops on the other side, and there will be more and more difficulties in crossing the Yellow River. The boats on both sides of the Yellow River are not so easy to find, these more than 1,000 boats were originally collected and requisitioned for more than two months, and if you want to find so many boats, I don't know how long it will take.

Li Fengyun also didn't expect Yelu Mada's reinforcements to come so slowly, giving him enough time to burn more ships. Hearing the whistle blowing, Li Fengyun did not hesitate and immediately led the army to evacuate Majiakou.

Li Fengyun did not arrange for someone to attack Yelu Mada's reinforcements, who attacked Yelu Mada, Li Fengyun also felt inexplicable, could it be that Zhao Kuangyin got rid of the Khitan pursuers and turned around and bit the Khitans?

But this is not the time to think about these things at this time, Yelu Mada's army may catch up at any time, if it is entangled by the Khitans, Li Fengyun is not sure that he can still bring out more than 2,000 people completely.

Li Fengyun led more than 2,000 men and horses to the agreed meeting place.

Suddenly, a group of people came out from the front, blocking the front of Li Fengyun's team.
