The soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison: "Cut!"

Xiao Kang shook his voice: "I didn't hear clearly, speak up!

"Cut! Chop! Chop!"

The soldiers of the three armies struck the ground with their guns and struck their armor with their knives, making a clanging sound.

"Military orders are like a mountain, Liu Yilong and his subordinates, fearing the battle and fleeing, should be executed according to the order! Kill them all according to His Majesty's order! Execution!"

Liu Yilong knelt down, his eyes rolled wildly, and he was still thinking about how many military sticks he would have to suffer, and how to get over it perfunctorily.He knew that when he was employing people, if he was killed, what would all the Han generals who surrendered to Khitan think? All beheaded.

"No! Your Majesty, have mercy! Lord Xiao, please plead for the last general, the last general will never..."

"puff!"

The executioners were neat and tidy, Xiao Kang gave an order, and his head rolled to the ground with a flash of cold light. For a moment, the lights of swords and blood burst out on the school grounds. In a short while, more than a hundred people lay dead on the spot. , the bloody smell makes people want to vomit.

Xiao Kang said coldly: "The troops from the Southern Dynasty invaded our territory, so Your Majesty is going to send troops to help Youzhou. Your Majesty's purpose is to help the country, and the righteousness lies in it. Although there are many soldiers and horses in the Southern Dynasty, they are nothing but chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow. Your Majesty Commander, we are invincible against all the ministries in Mobei, and we are also invincible against the unrighteous troops of the Southern Dynasty, and those who fear the battle and those who deceive the army will be killed without mercy, do you hear me clearly?"

The curtain was lifted, Xiao Kang came in wrapped in a bloody smell, the wind outside the tent blew in, the candle that Yelu Abaoji held firmly in his hand couldn't help flickering, Xiao Kang hurriedly put down the curtain, and said: "Your Majesty, humble already……"

Yelu Abaoji waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "We have to fight this battle, and we have to fight if we don't fight. Not only must we fight, but we must also win. This is the first battle of the Southern and Northern Expeditionary Army after they arrived in Youzhou. Fighting, if I dodge and don't fight, the army's morale will be exhausted, and the army will be defeated. In the future... there will be no need to fight. Our 30 tigers and horses are strong and strong, but they can't all go to the battlefield. A large army sits in the town, and there are more northerly, more bitterly cold Jurchen, Wei Tuo and other tribes are also unwilling to accept my Khitan, although they are weak, but once my Khitan is in a situation of dissatisfaction or confrontation, the Jurchen and other tribes will definitely not let it go. I wait for the opportunity to control it, and I will send a soldier to the north at random, so the number of soldiers we can invest is only about 20."

"What Your Majesty said is very true. The Xi Clan can mobilize tens of thousands of horses, and the Empress will personally lead them to the capital. I am willing to lead [-] troops to frighten the Jurchen tribes. Your Majesty will be able to deal with the Southern and Northern Expeditions with peace of mind." Xiao Kang replied in response. .

Xiao Kang also knew that the soldiers of the three armies of the Han people who surrendered to Khitan were not afraid of death, but of the orthodox and instinctive fear of the southern court. Now only Liu Yilong escaped, and the rest of the troops may not have lost their morale. If they win the battle, the morale of the army can be settled. If they avoid the war, although it is correct from a strategic point of view, as the first battle with the Southern and Northern Expeditions, whether to fight or not has a great significance beyond the war.

"Okay, this battle will be fought by myself." Yelu Abaoji said in a deep voice.

Yelu Deguang next to him said solemnly: "If that's the case, we can only concentrate on protecting Qi County. If Tang can eat up 1 people from Luo Shifeng who surrendered to us in Qi County, it will be a great victory. Then we will have to break through many barriers to support Youzhou!"

Yelu Abaoji said with satisfaction: "Wang Yanzhang, Shang Rang is like a crab Zhang Shuangao, Duan Mingyu's mouth is wide open, he put Luo Shifeng alone in the front, I am afraid that he intends to lure me to rescue Luo Shifeng in Qi County, this is an upright conspiracy, and he knows it is a trap , I have no choice but to go through it, if I am not careful..."

Yelu Abaoji said desolately: "The arrow is on the string, so I have to shoot it. As for life and death, I have never cared about it since I got on the horse!"

Yelu Deguang and other generals looked solemn, and they all bent down and said, "I will follow Your Majesty to the death!"

Yelu Abaoji smiled faintly, and leaned down to look at the sand table again, a shadow that was not easy to be noticed quietly passed his eyes: "Duan Mingyu is a tiger general in the Southern Dynasty, he is attacking every step of the way, and his defense is even more impermeable. It is difficult for Zhuge Zhi to be able to do it." To deal with such a disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, but where is my Zhuge Kongming?"

Just a few years after Luo Shifeng surrendered to Khitan, the guard general of Qi County, Luo Shifeng, encountered the overwhelming army of the Northern Expedition, and the surrounding counties and counties fell one after another. He was the only one left to echo Yanjing.What's more, although the Han people in Yandi want to return to the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, what about the generals?Will be the soul of an army, if the general's heart is for Khitan, who will object to his soldiers?The Han generals in Yandi are monolithic, and they are all focused on Khitan.The emperors before the Tang Dynasty dictated to the generals, often fought the battles that should not be fought, and often lost the battles that should be won. The status of the Khitan is much higher, so Yandi Han will not necessarily turn to support the Tang Dynasty, at most they will not help each other, but more will help Khitan to resist "foreign enemies".

The farther north he went, the harder it was to fight, so Duan Mingyu didn't intend to take Qi County without bloodshed. He planned to drag Qi County to exhaustion, then defeat the Khitan reinforcements, and finally occupy Qi County and attack Youzhou.

August [-]th, Mid-Autumn Festival night.

Duan Mingyu made a surprise attack on Qi County on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Tang army's scouts in Qi County had sent back news that today is August [-]th, and Luo Shifeng was going to the magistrate's yamen for a banquet, drinking wine and admiring the moon, so he chose the August [-]th Mid-Autumn Festival At night, Qixian was attacked unexpectedly, and the main general of the attack was the young general Xu Jing.

In the magistrate's yamen of Qi County, Luo Shifeng was talking and laughing happily with several civil and military officials, accompanied by the county magistrate of Qi County, the chief secretary, the county magistrate and other bureaucrats.

More than 20 death guards from the Shence Army climbed up the low city quietly with flying claws. After successfully solving the seven patrolling officers and soldiers, they were finally discovered by the defenders. God is deaf.Several civil and military men jumped up like frightened birds, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not good, the Tang army is attacking the city!"

Luo Shifeng laughed and got up, the original drunkenness was gone, he glanced at a few colleagues in support of the case, and said disdainfully: "Why should the adults panic, Luo's meticulous arrangements are just to lure King Zhao, if he doesn't Come on, this general will be disappointed. Today he came, this general told him to come and go!"

He tore off his outer robe with a swipe, and the inner cover turned out to be a black iron armor. Luo Shifeng shouted murderously: "Come on, come with me to the city! In today's battle, the children of the Southern Dynasty will definitely be killed here!"

Luo Shifeng put a lot of effort into the deployment of Qixian County. The army of the Tang Army faced this small city which was not very tall, and couldn't take it for a while.Arrows and meteors, rolling wood like fish, more than 20 dead soldiers of the Shence Army who entered the city, after sacrificing more than half of them, managed to kill under the city gate and forcibly opened the city gate.
