Chapter 292: Poison and slander
Drops of blood sticked to the yellowing grass, the battlefield, the galloping horses' hooves turned up the soft soil, and a wave of arrows came out of the short bow and flew into the formation of the Liao army in a straight line, and the shouts of 'drink, ah, ah' surged like a tide from the front.

Here, in the center of the Liao army formation, Yelu Dashi looked at the wild man who spread over, he originally had a high prestige in the Liao country, and during the period of time when Yelu Chun was the emperor, his prestige had reached the top, in addition to the 30,000 people around him who were descendants, the other 10,000 or 20,000 Liao soldiers were Xiao Gan's generals, and he was carrying them to the west at this time.
"The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and a group of wild people didn't even wear clothes and pants and wanted to provoke the tiger's mouth. Yelu Dashi, who was originally a little sulky because he was defeated by the Wu Dynasty and the Jin people, frowned, "....Even if my Da Liao is defeated, I can let you beggars bully, put on a formation, and kill the past." ”
However, at the moment when the order was given, the front army had not yet moved, and in the midst of countless noises, the rain of arrows nailed up to their faces, and thump-
In the blink of an eye, the savage cavalry coming from the front did not rush in as Yelu Dashi thought, and suddenly when the distance was four or five zhang, the battle line split on both sides, and the rumbling horses' hooves brought up dust, followed by bows, and arrows shot from the side in a dense manner.
Blood gushed out from the Liao army's formation, which had no time to turn to the defense, and the arrows fell like rows of soldiers with arrows and viscous blood.
"It's... What tactics?" Next to him, Yelu Hongyu muttered.
Yelu Dashi, who had been directing the battle array to move and defend, did not make a sound to solve his daughter's doubts, after all, he didn't know either. There are not a few Liao people and Jurchens in the north who can shoot bows on horseback, but if they really use it so skillfully like the other party, and there are still so many soldiers who are firing bows at the same time while running, his subordinates can't do it.
He looked at the back of the opposite formation, where on the grassy slope, there were several horsemen lined up there, Yelu Dashi stretched out his arm and shook the Lingqi, the right wing, the Liao cavalry stepped out of the array, forming a sharp formation, raising the horse's hooves, the spear was raised, and a clan general in front was in command, rushing towards the grassy slope.
On the grassy slope, a swarthy man on a black horse, dressed in a leather jacket and fur collar stroking in the cold wind, raised his hand and gave orders in a language that was extremely fast and incomprehensible.
The grassland cavalry outflanked on the edge, and then quickly pulled out more than 1,000 people, attached to the side of the Liao cavalry, and constantly harassed the opponent's advance speed with bows and arrows.
However, under the frontal charge of the Liao cavalry that was separated, the cavalry of the other side did not accept the call, but divided into a group of horse teams circling and passing around, intertwined into a small stream, dividing the Liao cavalry that rushed over, forming a formed team, and before they had time to fight with the other party in a dignified manner, they were cut off and wiped out one by one.
For Yelu Dashi, who has experienced the attack of the Jinren, he is quite calm, but when he encounters this kind of novelty, he first feels that it is quite incredible, and at the same time, he has also been inspired a lot.
"Failure... It's not necessarily sad, but it's also a good teacher. ”
The rout of the front army had already trended, and Yelu Dashi informed the guards around him to give the order to retreat to the middle and rear armies, "Don't entangle with these savages... If you get into the front line, you should think of it as the money you paid for the road. He explained it to his daughter.
After the transfer of the order to retreat, the entire army moved westward again.
......
Night is about to fall, and under the dim sky, the ownerless lone horse gnaws on the green and yellow turf, and the horse team of thousands sweeps its share of the booty on the battlefield, and under the dark and honest faces, they let out laughter more terrifying than wolves.
A pair of Liao general's armor was cleared, and his strong but not tall body weighed the armor in his hand, tapped his fingers, and spoke to a thin man next to him, with wanton laughter in his words, and then looked to the east.
"Liao. Country... Let's go over and see. ”
The thin general nodded in agreement, his eyes swept across the battlefield, and with a whistle, hundreds of people mounted their horses, and on horseback, they waved their right arms and thumped them on their chests, bowing slightly.
Then, the black riders rushed down the grassy slope, and the goshawk flew east in the night.
In the capital, the war in the north is reported back and forth every day......
Palace.
Under the lights that were not extinguished all night, Zhao Ji sat at the desk in the imperial study, looking at the information transmitted back recently, and then compared it with the previous information, with a slight ....... anger in his eyes.
At the moment when he put down the things in his hand, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, he held on to the desk, trembling a little, and said to the other two people in the room: "Yanjing is in front of you....such a good opportunity, why don't you hold on for a while? cough cough ......." was excited for a while, making Zhao Ji suddenly cough uncontrollably.
The cold autumn wind blew outside, and the sound of people with leaves rustling could be heard. Cai Jing bowed slightly, "Your Majesty still hopes to take care of your body, how is the matter in the north, although there is news coming back, there are some things that are invisible, some time ago, there was Liao will vote, but on today's news, it is said that when attacking Yanjing, all of them died on the battlefield....."
"That's why I called you overnight. Zhao Ji wanted to vent, but when he thought of the old minister in front of him, he couldn't scold, "They can't get Yan Yun back, why do they want to kill the generals? What do they want to do!!"
"Your Majesty, Admiral Bai is cruel and murderous by nature, and he must have felt that those generals did not want to stay. Cai Jing saw that the green tendons on the emperor's head were bulging, and said in a timely manner, "Seeing that the cold winter is coming, the Jurchens should not choose this time to go south, after all, after fighting for so long, they also need to rest and rest, so there is a lot more room for us to turn around, why don't Your Majesty follow the decree and urge Admiral Bai to return to Beijing?"
After a while, Zhao Ji, who had been thinking for a while, raised his hand, "Zhenchun, cough cough." ”
"The slave is here. ”
"Send a message to Xiao Ningzi, let him return to Beijing as soon as possible and not stay in the north. Ahem.... Cai Qing didn't want to laugh, it is estimated that it is caused by the change of seasons, which makes me feel a little unwell. ”
Over there, Cao Zhenchun's eyes drooped, bowed down in response, and left the two to continue talking. (To be continued.) )
