Chapter 103 Shocking Battle (4)
Chapter 103: Shocking Battle (IV)
The Liao cavalry was in trouble. No matter where they fled, countless Song troops would always chase after them. They all seemed to see hungry wolves on their bones. They would not give up until they killed them.
Thinking about the past, how happy it was to chase the Song army. At that time, no matter where the Song army fled, they would chase them on horseback, and the Song army could not avoid them. Now, everything has been turned upside down. No matter how they escaped, they always chased the Song army, not to mention how depressed they were.
Let’s look at the cavalry of the Liao army. The Song army had no intention of killing them at all. If they could not kill them, they would not kill them. They just chased the cavalry. The Liao army’s cavalry thought to himself, if he had known this, why not become infantry? What would he be a cavalry?
This is a big hunt, with countless Song troops chasing Liao cavalry, and Liao cavalry was killed and injured. This is the most painful loss of cavalry since the founding of the Liao Kingdom!
"The Liaogou's cavalry is over!" Li Mingchu laughed very happily: "In the past, the Liaogou cavalry chased us so much that we had nowhere to escape. Once, on the battlefield, I chased a Liaogou cavalry without a way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, and finally escaped. At that time, the Liaogou showed off his power and did not regard us as humans at all. In their eyes, we are pigs and sheep to be slaughtered. Now, the Liaogou has become pigs and sheep to be slaughtered. Haha!"
As long as the Song army soldiers who had fought with the Liao Kingdom agreed with him from the bottom of their hearts, many of them had chased the Liao cavalry. They were particularly happy to see the Liao cavalry's unlucky appearance.
"Yelu Hongji, are you helpless?" Shang Yuan was happy, his eyebrows raised, and he was extremely proud.
"No! Yelu Hongji will not admit defeat, he must have a way." Wu Ji didn't think so.
Sure enough, as soon as Wu Ji finished speaking, a roar came from the Liao army: "The infantry broke the rear, and the cavalry gathered together!"
This is the roar of the Liao army under his direct command in order to convey his orders.
"The hero cut off his arm!" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Yelu Hongji forced us to no avail, and he had to come up with this bad strategy to save the cavalry at the cost of infantry!"
For the Liao Kingdom, cavalry is more important, and infantry is not as important as cavalry. If infantry is gone, the Liao Kingdom will not suffer heavy losses. However, once cavalry is gone, the Liao Kingdom will definitely not bear it. You must know that cavalry is the army that the Liao Kingdom started with, and Yelu Abaoji built the Liao Kingdom with a large number of cavalry. Therefore, cavalry has always been the most important army of the Liao Kingdom and cannot be given up.
In this situation, Yelu Hongji had to make a choice and had to save the cavalry at the cost of sacrificing infantry. No matter how many infantry died or injured, as long as the cavalry was in hand, he was still not afraid.
His plan was right, but unfortunately, it was useless, for three reasons.
First, even the most elite cavalry of the Liao Kingdom was not the opponent of the Song army, let alone the Liao Kingdom's infantry. When they met the Song army, they were seeking death and were impatient. In front of the Modao and Pili bullets, the Liao Kingdom's infantry was no different from the rice fields and straw. When the Song army harvested it, it was a large area.
Second, no one wants to die. Even though he knows that Yelu Hongji's decision is correct, no one is willing to die on behalf of the cavalry. At the beginning, Yelu Hongji's orders came to intercept the Song army, but they were hit by a devastating blow. After several attacks, who would still die?
When the Liao army infantry saw the Song army coming, they all made a sound and fled. Some of them intentionally or unintentionally blocked the Liao cavalry, blocking the Liao cavalry's escape route, and using the lives of the Liao cavalry to save their lives.
"Okay! OK! OK!" Wu Ji's eyes shone, and he laughed out loud, feeling extremely relieved: "I have always wanted to recruit Han'er, but I have no chance. The infantry in the Liao Kingdom is mainly Han'er. They use infantry to kill the cavalry, and they use Han'er to kill the Khitans. Yelu Hongji, you have given me a good opportunity. Brothers, start recruiting Han'er!"
This is the third reason.
In the Liao *** team, the cavalry were mainly Khitans and Liaodongs, while the main component of the infantry was the Han people, the Han people in Yanyun, and they were called "Han'er".
Among the Han people, only a very small number can become cavalry, and most of them will become infantry and support cavalry. This kind of support is quite intriguing. Death is the first to die and the later to achieve merits, because the Han people's status in the Liao Kingdom is far inferior to that of the Khitans. Not to mention the Khitans, even the Liaodong people are not as good as those of them.
Yelu Hongji also had this kind of consideration when he made such a decision to exchange infantry for cavalry.
Wu Jiduan would not miss this opportunity, and he made the Song army yell: "The Han people don't beat the Han people!"
"Chinese men are a family!"
"Brothers from Yanyun Land, Master Wang is here to save you!"
"Brothers from Yanyun Land, welcome you home!"
Words full of enthusiasm and national sentiments resounded throughout the sky, making the men's eyes burst into tears.
Since Shi Jingtang and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were cedeed to the Liao Kingdom, the people in Yanyun land have lived under the iron hooves of foreign races, in dire straits, and suffered a lot from foreign races, which has caused them to suffer a lot.
In the first decades, they fought endlessly, hoping that the Central Plains King's Army would go north, recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and expel the alien races. However, the Song Dynasty was incompetent, not only did not recover the land of Yanyun, but instead suppressed the Liao Kingdom. They lost annual monies today and paid tribute tomorrow, which hurt the hearts of the people of Yanyun.
Gradually, they cut off their thoughts and began to surrender, becoming obedient people of the Liao Kingdom.
Despite this, they still recognized the Song Dynasty in their hearts. After all, it was connected by blood, and the descendants of Yan and Huang were not so easy to cut off. Even if they were working hard for the Liao Kingdom, once they sent them to the battlefield to attack the Song Dynasty, they often did not work hard, which made the Liao Kingdom very worried about them.
The Song army's roars were filled with passionate roots and roots awakened the Yanhuang blood in their hearts. Many people were filled with tears and were so excited that they no longer wanted to fight with the Song army.
When Yelu Hongji saw that the situation was wrong, he hurriedly asked the Liao army to yell: "Hans, listen, you are against Emperor Song, Emperor Song will not let you go! From today on, you are the same as the warriors of the Great Liao Dynasty, and there is no difference between you and the superiority and inferiority."
There are many men on the battlefield, with tens of thousands of people. Once the battlefield reverses, the consequences will be unpredictable. Yelu Hongji is well aware of his power and has to make a decision to set an end to the banner of abolishing the discrimination of Han and Liao.
The Han people were the lowest class in the Liao Kingdom and were highly discriminated against by the Khitans. The Khitans were born with a sense of superiority in front of the Han people. Moreover, the Liao Kingdom not only did not intend to eliminate it, but instead encouraged it, which made the Han people even more dissatisfied.
Yelu Hongji's words coexisted with temptation and threat, but there was still some truth, and Han'er couldn't help but hesitate: "When we are against the Song Dynasty, will you kill us?"
Although they agreed with the Song Dynasty in their hearts, they were working hard for the Liao Kingdom and meeting on this battlefield. It was normal for the Song army to kill them, so he had no choice but to doubt it.
"I, Wang Shao, here is a swearing: As long as you put down your weapons and return to the embrace of China, the Song Dynasty will not blame you!" Wang Shao, who was fighting with Xiao Lu, immediately swore when he heard their questions.
The words spread throughout the battlefield through the roar of the Song army. The men could hear it clearly and cheered: "Xie Wang Shumi! Xie Wang Shumi!"
Wang Shao was the commander of the Song army. He was the first general of the Song Shenzong Dynasty. He had a prominent reputation and his words were very powerful. The Hanmen couldn't help but believe it. However, no one surrendered. Instead, he looked at Wu Ji who was commanding the Song army to rush, and asked, "What do you say in Commander Wu?"
Wu Ji actually asked him to nod his head in this matter. Wu Ji really didn't expect it and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Wang Shumi, say something offensive. Although we know your name, you keep your word. However, we, Yanzhao men, know the name of Wu Du's commander. Grandpa Wu is famous and defeated Liaogou many times. We admire Grandpa Wu very much. Without Grandpa Wu's approval, we dare not surrender." Han'er gathered together and shouted loudly.
Speaking of his reputation in the north, although Wang Shao was the deputy Privy Councilor, he was not as good as Wu Ji. Wu Ji made it with one hand, and it was because Wu Ji made the situation that Wang Shao came to the north. These men are very familiar with things in the north and admire Wu Ji more than Wang Shao.
They knew that if Wu Ji had agreed to the words, the Song Dynasty would not pursue the matter again. After all, the matter between Wu Ji and Li Mingchu had long been spreading throughout the north. Li Mingchu used a knife to kill Wu Ji, but Wu Ji not only did not pursue him, but also used him seriously. Li Mingchu became Wu Ji's deputy. Is there anything more convincing than this?
Of course, if you are in Shanzhou, you can decide only Wang Shao's words. However, this is the north, not Shanzhou, and Wu Ji's words play an important role.
"I am Wu Ji. Wang Shumi means what I mean!" Wu Ji yelled: "I, Wu Ji here to swear that as long as you put down your weapons and return to the embrace of China, the Song Dynasty will not blame you! If someone wants to make things difficult for you, I, Wu Ji, will not agree!"
These words spread throughout the battlefield through the mouth of the Converted Army.
"That's great! That's great!"
"Grandpa Wu said nothing, and with Grandpa Wu's words, we will feel relieved!"
"Brothers, come back to China's embrace!"
The men let out earth-shaking cheers and moved closer to the Song army.
"We're back home!" The men's eyes were filled with tears and cheered in shock.
Returning to the embrace of China and returning to the ancestors is the voice of countless Yanyun men. However, for more than a hundred years, they have not been able to do it. Now, their dreams come true and they have returned to the embrace of China. The excitement is far beyond description, and even if they use all the words, they cannot describe it.
"Brothers, welcome you home!" The Song army soldiers cheered and opened their hearts for Han'er.
The two armies who were still fighting to death just now are now hugging each other, cheering and beating each other, and the feeling of blood being connected is aroused.
Blood is thicker than water, and no matter what, it is the descendants of Yan and Huang! Not to mention a hundred years, even if it is thousands of years, it is impossible to let this bloodline fade away!
Wu Ji and Wang Shao had wanted to surrender Han'er, but there was no opportunity. Yelu Hongji wanted the infantry to die on behalf of the cavalry, but he wanted the Han'er to die on behalf of the Khitans. This was definitely an opportunity that he could not miss.
Wu Ji seized it decisively and finally succeeded!
In a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Hans turned against each other. Yelu Hongji never expected that his wisest decision would cause such serious consequences. Stars appeared in front of him, shaking, unsteady, and could fall from the horse's back at any time.
Chapter completed!
