Water Margin people

"Devils! They are devils!"

Ibrahim said with his whole body trembling, he felt that he was no longer facing an enemy, but a devil from hell, and only a devil would reap lives like this.

Many soldiers were so scared that they knelt down and prayed, praying for their gods to protect them and praying that the gods would punish the devil.

"Everyone, get up!"

Yelu Dashi became furious when he saw the soldiers kneeling on the ground to pray. He did not have strict regulations on the beliefs of different parts of Western Liao, but chose to respect different beliefs. But now they are on the battlefield, and he cannot allow this fear to spread here.

The personal soldiers around Yelu Dashi immediately whipped the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground praying, forcing them to stand up.

"Don't be afraid. The enemy has slaughtered our brothers and comrades. Look, this is a blood feud. We must kill the enemy and avenge our brothers. Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

Yelu Dashi pointed at the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood and roared, saying that he wanted to use his anger to drive away the fear in the soldiers' hearts.

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

Many soldiers began to roar, as their brothers were among the dead soldiers.

Anger quickly spread, fear was thrown aside, and the soldiers waved their weapons and shouted to slaughter the enemy.

Yelu Dashi was very satisfied when he saw this. These people from the Western Regions were simple-minded. A little trick could arouse their anger and make them forget themselves.

"Jiu'erhan, do we really want to fight the enemy? It looks like the enemy is very strong!"

The Khwarezmian king Ajisi looked at Yelu Dashi and asked. Although he thought Ibrahim was a waste, he was clear about the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Karakhanid Khanate's army. An army of one hundred thousand was wiped out in one day and one night. The enemy's horror was far beyond their imagination.

The rest of the people were also worried. Seeing the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, how could they dare to step forward? They all backed off, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.

"The enemy is now at the end of its strength. You have seen the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, but you should also understand how much it cost for 50,000 people to achieve this. Not to mention how many casualties the enemy has suffered, after a day and night of non-stop killing, how much combat power does the enemy have left? This is when the enemy is tired. If we don't attack now, we will have no chance of winning when the enemy recovers!"

Yelu Dashi looked at everyone and spoke.

These words instantly made everyone's eyes light up. So now is really the perfect time to attack.

"Bypass this place, the whole army moves forward!"

Seeing that he had convinced everyone, Yelu Dashi immediately gave orders to strike while the iron was hot.

The 100,000-strong army bypassed the sea of ​​corpses and blood in front of them, found a river valley nearby and advanced towards Xingxing Gorge.

Even though it had been daybreak for a long time, the sky was still gloomy, and the clouds in the sky seemed particularly thick today.

Yelu Dashi frowned and looked at the sky, having a bad feeling in his heart. The most feared thing in war is rain, especially in such mountainous wastelands. Heavy rain will not only make the ground muddy, but may also cause flash floods.

At noon, Yelu Dashi led his army to the foot of Xingxing Gorge.

"Yelü Dashi, you are finally here!"

Yue Fei looked at Yelu Dashi and laughed.

"Yue Fei!"

When Yelu Dashi saw Yue Fei, his face turned ferocious. He knew that this was one of the most capable generals under Sun Lei.

"And Lin Chong and Wang Jin! Sun Lei actually sent these three to lead the way! No wonder Ibrahim lost!"

Yelu Dashi looked at the flags of Lin Chong and Wang Jin again. Now he finally understood why the army of 100,000 was defeated so quickly. Sun Lei mobilized his three most capable generals and the latest firearms. Ibrahim's army, which had only ordinary swords and guns, was unable to stop them.

"You devils, you have committed such murderous crimes. Aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"

Yelu Dashi pointed at Yue Fei and roared.

"Haha, Yelu Dashi, you have the nerve to say such things? How many people did you kill on your way westward?" Yue Fei looked at Yelu Dashi and laughed. Yelu Dashi was able to establish the Western Liao Dynasty not by winning people over with virtue, but by massacre.

"I kill for the sake of conquest. I kill so that countries will stop fighting, so that they can live in peace and civilians can live a good life. Under the rule of my Western Liao Dynasty, the Turkic tribes and the ethnic groups in the Western Regions no longer have hatred and killing, and have ushered in the long-lost peace!"

"You, the Qi State, massacre for the sake of massacre. You even spared no mercy on the surrendered and injured soldiers. You are simply murderous demons, evil spirits hated by both humans and gods!"

Yelu Dashi shouted loudly that he had learned a lot during the Western Expedition, and the most important thing was to establish a personal character. As long as the character was good enough, no matter how many bad things he did, he could be forgiven.

Now he put himself in the position of the savior of all ethnic groups and countries in the Western Regions, turning Yue Fei and other people of Qi into demons and evil spirits.

"Haha, Yelu Dashi, why bother saying these useless things? War is a life-and-death struggle! Since you are here, don't even think about going back alive."

Yue Fei laughed loudly. The State of Qi did not like these nonsense. If they wanted to kill, they would kill. There was no need for so many excuses.

"Comrades, those over there are the devil's minions, the incarnation of evil spirits. For the sake of the gods, kill them!"

Yelu Dashi shouted to the soldiers around him.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The soldiers around Yelu Dashi roared, saying that they wanted to kill the devil so that they could gain the favor of their respective gods and return to the kingdom of gods after death.

"kill!"

Seeing that the soldiers were excited, Yelu Dashi immediately ordered a charge.

The soldiers charged forward, waving their weapons and roaring. They looked excited, as if they were not charging but making a pilgrimage.

"Crossbow!"

Lin Chong immediately gave the order and the soldiers drew their bows and arrows.

"put!"

As the enemy approached, a roar was heard, thousands of arrows were fired, and the enemies rushing forward fell down in groups.

But these people were not afraid at all. They held up their shields and continued to charge despite the arrows and stones.

"interesting!"

Seeing the enemy like this, Yue Fei was not worried at all. His archers kept shooting arrows. With thousands of arrows fired from this high ground, even the most fearless people would be beaten back.

Sure enough, after a charge, the charging army was finally defeated. They could not afford the casualties of thousands of people, but they could not even get close to the pass of Xingxing Gorge.

"hateful!"

Yelu Dashi was a little annoyed. He had finally managed to arouse the fanaticism of these soldiers, but the fighting power of the Qi army was so strong that it was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the fanatical anger.

"Jiu'erhan, the enemy has the advantage of terrain, it's hard to attack!"

Ajisi said that if they continued fighting like this, their army would probably be destroyed here.

"Gather the elite troops and kill another wave!"

Yelu Dashi was unwilling to give up, for he understood the principle that one's efforts will decline after the first one and will eventually be exhausted after the third one.

"Yes!"

Although everyone was somewhat reluctant, they had no choice as things had come to this point. The enemy was right in front of them and both sides had fallen out. (End of this chapter)
