Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 427 Why Are You So Useless (Please Subscribe!)
...

As soon as Brother Yelu escaped from Shijie Valley with 4000 troops, two horse armies came out from both sides of Shijie Valley!
As soon as these two horse troops appeared, they strangled three or four thousand frightened birds like two giant pythons!

This is a purely unilateral massacre!

Brother Yeluma and the others were all focused on running for their lives, they had no intention of fighting at all!
In this case, Du Po, Yao Xing and the others had no way to be polite, they naturally bit down and killed them!
After killing for four or five miles, out of the 4000 people Yelu Mage and the others escaped, there were only less than 500 left!
Just at this time, more than 500 horse troops came out in front!

Brother Yeluma was horrified when he saw this, and ordered: "Split up..."

"call out!"

Before the word "run" could be uttered, Brother Yeluma was shot in the throat by an arrow!

Brother Yelu Ma, who didn't want to die, fell off the horse holding the arrow around his neck unwillingly, and was trampled into meat paste by the horses following behind...

Chen Liqing put away her bow and arrow, then picked up her pear flower ancient fixed gun, and said: "Follow me to kill!"

Afterwards, Chen Liqing took the lead, Hu Sanniang and Qiongying protected Chen Liqing from left to right, and the three led an army of [-] horses to face the Liao army straight!
Chen Liqing seemed to be possessed by a god of killing, and the pear blossom ancient gun in her hand was like the scythe of death, sticking to death, touching death, there was no enemy in her hands!
Hu Sanniang and Qiongying were also full of murderous intent, and there were countless dead souls under them!

Because of Chen Liqing and the others intercepting them, the speed of the Liao Army naturally slowed down, so they were soon surrounded by the Kidnap Zuo Army and the Women's Army.

The generals and soldiers of the Liao army have already been frightened out of their wits!
In addition, Yelu Mage, who took the lead, is dead, and there is no one who can make up his mind.

Therefore, after hearing Du Po, Yao Xing and others shout in Chinese and broken Khitan: "Whoever falls on the ground will not be punished!" After seeing that there was no possibility of escape, the soldiers of the Liao army rolled off their horses one after another, and then lay down on the ground begging for surrender!

Chen Liqing, who hadn't finished killing yet, saw that the Liao army was defeated so easily, and then surrendered without any backbone, and she was so angry that she shouted, "Why are you so useless!", and then pulled out the Mo Xie sword, I want to slaughter this group of useless guys!

Seeing this, Du Po, Yao Xing and others hurried forward to persuade: "Madam, it is ominous to kill prisoners!" Strictly order to kill prisoners, you must not disobey it!"...

After listening to the persuasion of Du Yan, Yao Xing and others, Hu Sanniang and Qiongying pulled the reluctant Chen Liqing away from each other.

Du Po, Yao Xing and others quickly took the opportunity to deal with the captives, and then escorted the captives back to Shijie Valley to join Liu Kai and Lu Junyi.

When Du Po, Yao Xing and others returned to Shijie Valley, the battle in Shijie Valley had also ended.

According to statistics after the war, more than 7000 enemies were killed in this battle, more than 4000 were captured, and less than 1000 escaped.

War is to kill the effective combat power of the enemy.

Especially when the current Liao army does not have many troops capable of fighting.

Therefore, this battle is undoubtedly a complete victory.

For this battle, everyone is full of emotion, including the commander-in-chief Liu Kai.

At the beginning, Wu Jie did not set up an ambush under the city of Shuozhou or Shentou, but set up an ambush in Shijie Valley. Everyone opposed it, including Liu Kai and Han Shizhong.

But later Wu Jie persuaded Liu Kai, and Wu Jie temporarily restrained the army, so Liu Kai brought people to Shijie Valley to set up an ambush.

Never thought, Wu Jie really counted it.

Liu Kai thought to himself: "This Wu Jie is really good, and Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Wang Yan, and Zhang Xian are all good at it. I have to work hard, or I will let them disappear."

When Liu Kai led his men back to Shuozhou City, Han Shizhong had already taken his headquarters to attack Liaoxijing, and asked Wu Jie to tell Lu Junyi: "The infantry marches slowly. I will take one step first. General Lu, please follow up as soon as possible."

Lu Junyi let Tie Futu take a brief rest, and picked some good horses from the captives to make up for the battle damage, and then went after Han Shizhong.

Along with Tiefutu, there was also the Women's Army.

Chen Liqing saw that there were no big battles to be fought here, so she said to Wu Jie: "We don't need so many cavalry troops here. To fight Huanzhou, General Du and the others are enough. Liaoxijing is the most important thing at present. Let's go to the Liaoxi capital for the Xie Fan Army too?"

Defeating Shuozhou City does not mean that the battle in Shuozhou is over, because there are still four counties under the rule of Shuozhou, and there are many fortresses in Shuozhou, all of which have to be cleared one by one and then re-armed, but even In this way, Wu Jie didn't want to keep Chen Liqing, a hot potato, so without further ado, Wu Jie agreed that the Detachment of Women would go to Liaoxi Jing with Tie Futu.

After Tie Futu and the Detachment of Women left, Liu Kai approached Wu Jie and discussed, "I want to take advantage of this great victory to attack Huanzhou City. What do you think, Brother Wu?"

The strategic location of Huanzhou City is also very important, and if Huanzhou City is also controlled by the Liangshan Army, the three states of Shuo, Huan, and Ying will be connected together, and the entire southwestern part of Yundi will be entirely owned by Li Yan. Moreover, the Shuo, Huan, and Ying prefectures can also echo each other from a distance, and the Liangshan Army's strategic room for maneuver will be much larger.

Furthermore, the task Liu Kai received was to capture Huanzhou. Now that the situation in Shuozhou has been decided, Liu Kai naturally wants to complete his task.

Wu Jie said: "Let General Du go with you."

The land of Yanyun is rich in horses and cavalry, so it is not difficult to arm a cavalry.

When fighting against cavalry, if one's own side does not have cavalry, there will be an embarrassing situation in which they cannot catch up if they win, or cannot escape when they lose.

Therefore, although the three thousand horse army does not look like a lot, it is indispensable for siege.

In fact, even if Wu Jie didn't take the initiative to propose it, Liu Kai would still ask Wu Jie for the abductee Zuo Jun.

Now that Wu Jie offered to let Du Po go with Liu Kai, everyone looked pretty, and Liu Kai also took advantage of the situation and said, "Then thank you brother Wu."

but--

I don't know whether it was Liu Kai's good luck or Liu Kai's bad luck. When Liu Kai's army marched to Huanzhou City, the gate of Huanzhou City opened by itself!
It turned out that when the Han people in Huanzhou City heard that the Liangshan Army was coming to attack Huanzhou City, they made a connection in private, and then under the leadership of a Han official named "Xu Yun", they killed all the Khitan people in Huanzhou City. Baba, especially the one with the surname Yelu, was slaughtered almost completely, and then dedicated Huanzhou City to the Liangshan Army.

Faced with this situation, Liu Kai didn't know how to deal with it. While he hurriedly took over Huanzhou City, he immediately sent people to Taiyuan City to ask Li Yan how to deal with Huanzhou City.
Li Yan was very happy with Wu Jie's great victory—he captured Shuozhou City, and also wiped out more than 1 cavalry and five or six thousand infantry in the Liao Kingdom. Li Yan really had no reason for such a great victory that could affect the overall outcome. not happy.

However, Li Yan was only happy for a day, and then began to frown, "How should we deal with the matter of Huanzhou City?"
