When Gao Yongchang rebelled in Liaodong and proclaimed himself emperor and established his own country, a large group of Liao generals surrendered.
When Gao Yongchang was attacked by the Jin Kingdom, his generals paid him more gold and captured his wife and children for reward.
Later, the Jin soldiers marched towards Yanjing. Along the way, the Liao generals scrambled to escape, or simply led their troops to surrender to the Jin Kingdom.
Now the situation has changed and the same drama is happening again.
At this moment, Wanyan Talan, who was guarding Jinzhou, finally realized the despair of Emperor Tianzuo and Gao Yongchang.
These bastards have all switched sides. Whoever wins and who helps will be defeated!
Wanyan Talan even had to be grateful to Xiao Zhongxuan, because the other rebels were attacking the Jurchen soldiers, and only Xiao Zhongxuan's Khitan soldiers did not come over.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Jurchen soldiers to escape from Jinzhou City.
"Go east!"
Wanyan Xiyin shouted.
The east city gate slowly opened, Wanyan Talan, Wanyan Shengdu and his son rushed out with the Jurchen cavalry.
They led their troops out of the east gate, but did not dare to continue eastward because there were Ming troops in the stronghold ahead.
Galloping two miles north along the river, I saw Ming cavalry chasing after me on the other side of the river. Then there was the sound of horse hooves behind me, but it was Ming cavalry leading Xi Qi in pursuit.
"Let the slaves of the Gao family lead the army and break up the rear!"
Wanyan Talan quickly gave the order, and then the trumpet sounded and the flags were waved one after another.
A cavalry general immediately slowed down and led his soldiers to face the pursuers. This man was a slave that Wanyan Talan had rescued in the early days. He kept him as a soldier for several years, and he was promoted to a general five years ago.
Gao Jianu is very loyal. Wanyan is lazy and is his god. No matter what he is asked to do, he will do it.
Even to die!
Yan Ping waved his arms to the left, and the flag soldiers behind him followed suit. The Ming cavalry on the left immediately turned around and circled the flank of the Jin soldiers behind them.
Xiao Baoxian, the general of the Xi tribe who led the rebellion, led a group of Xi cavalry and inserted themselves against the other side of the Duanhou Jin soldiers along the river bank.
Shoot arrows from three directions together, and after the arrows are broken, the golden soldiers fall down one after another.
Immediately afterwards, there were charges from three directions. A few golden soldiers continued to move forward, but most of the golden soldiers turned around and fled the battlefield. Not everyone was willing to die!
After chasing for several miles, the Jurchen cavalry responsible for breaking up the rear were completely annihilated by the Ming cavalry and the Xi cavalry.
As for the Jurchen cavalry general Gao Jianu, he died during the charge. He had six arrows stuck in his body, and was stabbed twice by the Ming cavalry. He finally fell off his horse and was trampled to death.
Wanyan Tarlan led his troops along the river and ran for more than ten miles to the valley.
On the other side of the river was the Ming Dynasty cavalry led by Li Shifu. Both sides kept shooting arrows across the river.
"For meritorious service, follow me and kill the enemy with meritorious service!"
Xiao Baoxian, the general of the Xi clan, shouted and led the Xi cavalry to pursue them at full speed. They had been bullied so badly by the Jurchens, and this time they wanted to not only make meritorious deeds in the Ming Dynasty, but also avenge their blood feud for many years.
Xi Ren has gone crazy and has no sympathy for the war horse.
Just by forcibly accelerating and sprinting, the horse will be crippled by the end of the battle.
"kill!"
Xiao Baoxian had already caught up with the Jurchen cavalry and rushed forward desperately.
The Jurchen cavalry turned around and shot arrows from time to time. Although they shot down a few of the scoffers, they were bitten hard and rushed in.
After defeating several enemies with his own hands, Xiao Baoxian's horse speed gradually slowed down.
As Li Shifu rode his horse, he shot an arrow at Wanyan Xiyin on the other side.
It didn't hit anyone, but it hit the horse's hind leg.
Wanyan Xiyin is over fifty years old and has been a civil servant for several years. His riding skills are inevitably rusty and his physical strength is not as good as before.
The war horse jumped in pain and accelerated in an instant. Wanyan Xiyin's legs could not hold the horse's belly, and he was immediately lifted up and out of the saddle. When he fell down again, the position was a little crooked. When his body shook, he subconsciously held on to the reins.
.
What will happen if a horse suddenly pulls on the reins while running at high speed?
It is possible to brake suddenly.
It’s also possible to make the horse sprint faster!
Wanyan Xiyin's war horse was out of control. It had been shot by an arrow, and its head was twisted by the sudden pull on the reins, causing the horse to compete with its owner. It rushed diagonally in the direction of the reins and accelerated running.
He almost collided with his own people, and finally left the flat ground and rushed towards the slope of the valley entrance.
By the time the war horse stopped, it had already carried Wanyan Xiyin halfway up the hillside.
There are all Ming troops at the foot of the mountain...
"Catch those alive and take them to Kaifeng to offer prisoners to the palace!" Yan Ping was overjoyed.
Xiao Shun had already abandoned his horse and rushed forward, while Wanyan Xiyin hurriedly dismounted and climbed the mountain to escape.
The Xi people dismounted one after another and no longer chased into the valley, but followed the general to climb the mountain to arrest people. They all recognized Wanyan Xiyin, one of the most powerful warriors in the Jin Kingdom, equivalent to the deputy prime minister in the Song and Liao Dynasties.
After all, Wanyan Xiyin was old and had not been active in the past few years. After climbing the mountain, he was out of breath. He first abandoned his helmet and threw it at the Xi soldiers at the bottom of the mountain, and then took off his armor belt while climbing.
Then, throw the belt down the mountain.
Just as Wanyan Xiyin continued to disarm, Xiao Baoxian had already crawled a few meters behind him.
Wanyan Xiyin saw a stone next to him and pushed it down with all his strength.
The distance was too close and the stone had not yet rolled out of speed, so Xiao Bao easily dodged it first.
Wanyan Xiyin pulled out his waist knife again and slashed at the top of Xiao Baoxian's head as he crawled over. Xiao Bao did not dodge or dodge at first, but he was protected by his helmet and shoulder armor, so he reached out and grabbed Wanyan Xiyin's ankle.
With a sudden tug, Wanyan Xiyin fell down and was pulled in front of Xiao Bao first.
Then he took the knife from his hand and pinned down Wanyan Xiyin. Xiao Baoxian shouted excitedly: "I caught Jin Guobo Jilie, the Xi clan has made a contribution to the Ming Dynasty!"
Yan Ping and Li Shifu have already pursued them into the valley.
Yan Ping has been following the Jurchen cavalry, while Li Shifu is on the other side of the river from the Jurchen cavalry.
About two miles into the valley, the east bank where Li Shifu was located became increasingly open, while the west bank where the Jurchen cavalry was located quickly narrowed.
The Jurchen cavalry could not deploy, and those at the back had to slow down.
Yan Ping took the opportunity to lead his troops to catch up, slashing and killing the Jurchen cavalry who were slowing down.
It was a unilateral massacre, and the fleeing Jurchen cavalry had no time to turn to meet the enemy. The Ming cavalry had rushed behind them and stabbed them in the back with their spears.
But the cavalry led by Yan Ping was also stuck in a narrow place and had to kill all the enemies in front of them before they could pass.
Li Shifu was still shooting arrows across the river.
Wanyan Tarlan continued to run for four miles, but there was another small river blocking his way. It was a tributary of the Erdao River in the east of Jinzhou City.
Not only did the rivers diverge, but the valleys also diverge.
Wanyan Tart lazily fled to the valley to the west, and Li Shifu had no choice but to dismount his troops and cross the river.
After running for about five or six miles, the valley ahead bifurcated again. Wanyan Talan said to his son: "Escape separately. Who can survive depends on luck!"
"Father, take care!" Wanyan Shengdu shouted.
The father and son each led a group of remaining soldiers and fled in different directions.
This time, it was Yan Ping who caught up first. When he saw fresh hoofprints on both sides, he said to a soldier: "You stay and show General Li the direction. I will chase the left side and let General Li chase the right side. Who can catch him?"
It all depends on everyone's luck to become the enemy's commander!"
Yan Ping didn't pursue the right side because he was too lazy to dismount and cross the river.
He was very lucky, because the left hand side was Wanyan Talan's escape direction - Wanyan Talan didn't want to waste time crossing the river.
Chasing from afternoon to night, both sides were exhausted.
There were only about thirty people left around Wanyan Talan. Many Jurchen soldiers or war horses had been shot across the river by Li Shifu's troops before, and they gradually couldn't hold on during the escape and fell behind.
Wanyan Tarlan is getting older and is now extremely tired from all the hard work.
After he turned around a river beach, he selected ten soldiers to stay, and said to the remaining soldiers: "You continue to run forward, and I will stop the enemy!"
The soldiers were so grateful that they ran away quickly.
Wanyan Talan said to the remaining soldiers: "Lead the horse into the mountain and don't make any noise!"
This old guy was very bad, so he led ten soldiers, led their horses up a gentle hillside, and hid in a small forest that was not dense.
Yan Ping galloped past with his cavalry, pursuing the fleeing enemy in front.
After taking a short rest, Wanyan Tart lazily led his horse over the mountain.
In the dark, he could no longer figure out the direction. He was afraid of encountering the Ming army when he went down the mountain, so he spent the night on the mountain.
He also picked a war horse that was so tired that it was foaming at the mouth, tied its mouth and led it not far away to kill it. Then Wanyan Tarlan and his own soldiers drank the horse's blood, cut off the horse meat with a knife and ate it raw.
After resting for about half an hour, Wanyan Talan was afraid that Yan Ping would ask something from the captives, so he led the cavalry down the mountain from the other direction.
On the mountain ridge opposite this mountain, Li Shifu was leading his horse back.
Li Shifu failed to pursue Wanyan Sheng. There were forks in the mountains, and he lost track of the enemy as he pursued him.
Because the horses were too tired, he led his troops to lead the horses all the way back, cursing and complaining about his bad luck.
Wanyan fled so lazily that he completely lost his direction. He finally made it down the mountain, and it was already dawn.
Looking at the scenery in the valley, Wanyan Talan felt a little familiar, and after walking for a while he encountered two corpses.
Is this coming back again?
Wanyan turned his head lazily to look at Chaoyang, confirmed the direction and shouted: "Hurry up and go north!"
The Jurchen soldier who killed his war horse and ate its flesh was hesitant to speak but didn't know what to say. In the end, he didn't say anything and fled on foot in another direction.
Wanyan Talan led nine soldiers and rode into a valley.
After only two miles of galloping and a bend in the river, I saw countless Ming troops drinking their horses by the river.
Li Shifu was stunned and suddenly reacted: "Mount your horse and kill the enemy!"
"Quickly retreat!" Wanyan Talan was so frightened that he lost his mind.
In panic, Wanyan Talan lazily galloped on his horse. He had just rushed half a mile away when his horse stepped on the gravel on the river beach.
The horse lost its front hoof, and both the man and the horse fell down.
Li Shifu was overjoyed and shouted: "Those who are captured alive will be sacrificed to the prison!"
Wanyan Talan also shouted: "I am willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. If any city has not been captured yet, I can help the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty persuade the defenders to surrender!"
Historically, this guy failed in the factional struggle and even planned to defect to Zhao Gou and Qin Hui.
Why can't I confess?
Li Shifu led his troops to surround him: "Tie this guy up. Hahahahaha, grandpa has made the achievement of becoming a marquis today!"
Wanyan was lazily kneeling on the ground, letting the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty tie him up, and asked to please him: "What's your surname, general?"
Li Shifu said: "Your grandfather's surname is Li. Are you begging for mercy now? It's too late! You are a straight thief, you have made me suffer all night, and I almost let you escape."
