Handerang was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become famous. Instead of just being a bystander, he actively participated in it.
He first asked the soldiers to eat all the food they carried and restore their physical strength.
At dusk, Handrang gathered all the soldiers who could fight, looked at the tired and emaciated soldiers, and launched into a motivating speech: "Everyone, please don't make any noise and listen to me. We have arrived at the destination, ten miles ahead.
Outside is the bandit's food camp, so there is no need to walk through the narrow mountain roads, and there is no need to suffer from hunger or fatigue."
There was a commotion among the Khitan and Jurchen soldiers. They were first bumped by the waves, and then passed through the Black Mountain and Yanshan Mountains from Lulong. The mountain road was originally difficult to travel, so in order to avoid being exposed, they still took the unknown smuggling path, and they had long complained.
There is no need to suffer anymore when hearing this. The simple words directly hit the weak points of the Khitan and Jurchen soldiers.
If Handerang hadn't told him in advance not to make any noise, the custodian would have cheered loudly and excitedly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Handerang continued: "Don't be too happy, everyone. You are all warriors who have experienced battles for a long time. You must all be aware of our situation. We are hungry and tired. Some of us even have to stand.
We are unstable. But we have no way out. The food you just ate was the last dry food. Not to mention taking the ship to return, you can't even get out of Yanshan. The only way to survive is
Win this battle.”
"Although the enemy camp is heavily defended, all their food and grass are concentrated in the south camp directly in front of us. The south camp is also their weakest point. As long as we can break into it and set a fire. Hehe, it is summer and autumn now.
, it is the best time to attack with fire. With just one fire, we can determine the victory. Then we will hold a celebration banquet in the enemy's camp, eat their food, minced meat, and drink their wine..."
His eyes were hot, his words were full of temptation, and he said loudly: "If you retreat now, you will die. Only by fighting hard can you survive and have the last laugh. For my sake, Daliao, and for yourselves. Now listen to my order and aim for the Southern Dynasty camp."
"Han Derang imitated Xiang Yu's desperate measures and achieved excellent results. The Khitans and Jurchens both showed desperate looks and followed Handerang as they headed north.
Sure enough, as Han Dezhang had discovered, although the Southern Dynasty deployed heavy troops to defend the grain and grass camps in the rear, they were extremely lax in controlling the south.
The group of them easily reached the vicinity, and the time was just right. As night fell, looking from a distance, the Nanchao Grain and Grass Camp was completely silent.
The scattered torches in the distance were like bright lights, illuminating their way forward.
Occasionally, a group of soldiers holding torches passed by the camp silently and seemed particularly peaceful.
Handrang's eyes flashed with a hint of fanaticism, and he pressed his right hand hard. "Kill!!!"
The peaceful scene was broken by loud shouts of killing.
Wanyan Bahai led the Jurchen elite under his command and rushed towards the grain and grass camp.
More than 7,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum was like an overwhelming force! There were not many soldiers guarding the camp in Nanzhai, only about 30 people. Seeing thousands of soldiers swarming in, there was a panic at first, and then a harsh warning sound.
Echoes in the sky above the Grain and Grass Camp.
Wanyan Bahai heard the harsh warning sound in his ears and quickened his steps.
They must set fire to the food and grass in the south camp to create a roaring camp before the enemy's northern camp, east camp, and west camp come to support them.
Otherwise, their physical strength would not be enough to sustain a long-term battle. Wanyan Bahai rushed closer and unexpectedly found that the thirty or so soldiers at the camp gate turned around and ran away. He rushed into the camp gate effortlessly, and it was inevitable that
Laughing dumbly.
I have heard for a long time that the soldiers from the Central Plains are elite and brave, but now it seems that they are also afraid of death? Wanyan Bahai did not feel inappropriate about the behavior of the soldiers from the Central Plains. They charged nearly ten thousand people, how could more than 30 soldiers resist them? How could they escape without risking their lives?
It is human nature to stay and be a few breathing heroes, which is a strange thing.
Wanyan Bahai led his subordinates to rush into the camp gate like tigers and wolves. After entering the camp gate, he saw the soldiers around him screaming in fear and fleeing. He couldn't help but laugh: "The soldiers of the Southern Dynasties are nothing more than this."
He went more than thirty steps deeper and then noticed something strange.
The Central Plains people fled so fast that they couldn't catch up with each other.
The speed of escaping: This doesn’t look like escaping, but rather luring the enemy?
"No! I fell into a trap!"
Wanyan Bahai sensed something was wrong and wanted to retreat.
But the current situation no longer allows him to retreat.
Behind him, Han Derang and Han Dezhang could only hear the panicked screams of the Central Plains soldiers. They had no idea of the situation ahead. They only thought that Wanyan Bahai had already fought with the soldiers guarding the camp and needed their support.
Wanyan Bahai wants to withdraw...
But Han Derang and Han Dezhang kept shouting: "Charge!"
Especially after seeing the speed of the assault team slow down, Handerang thought that Wanyan Bahai was facing strong resistance and needed their support, so he repeatedly encouraged the charge.
The rear team hugs the front team and moves forward together...
By the time Handerang reacted, it was too late. There was a loud "boom" and thick smoke billowing out in the wind!
Camps in all directions burst into flames one after another, and explosive flames soared into the sky!
The fire spread like a galloping horse, covering Han Derang and Wanyan Bahai layer by layer.
Wanyan Bahai couldn't advance or retreat, so he was so angry that he scolded his mother.
With the help of the red light of the flames, Wanyan Bahai saw dozens of dark objects flying in the distance, one of which was flying towards him.
Wanyan Bahai was agile and ducked to the right.
The flying object hit the soldier behind him, fell to the ground, and shattered.
It's actually a clay pot.
The earthen jar was not very powerful and caused no casualties, but the liquid in the earthen jar spattered in all directions.
Wanyan Bahai was in Jurchen and didn't know much about kerosene, so he didn't react for a while.
As sparks fell on the fierce fire oil, the air wave pushed Wanyan Bahai back three feet and stepped on the fire.
The fierce fire oil on his body immediately enveloped him.
This Jurchen ancestor of Jianzhou rushed towards his tribesmen in fear. His original intention was to ask the tribesmen to help him drive away the fire.
But wherever he went, the unlit fire oil set his body on fire, and most of the Jurchens fell into a sea of fire.
When Wanyan Bahai fell to the ground, there was only one thought in his mind: regret.
Handrang felt the sudden increase in temperature around him, and his heart was ashen. He looked at the frightened faces next to him that were illuminated by the flames, and his mind went blank.
He was so smart that he thought of all the consequences in the blink of an eye...
He, Handerang, will become a laughing stock, a backdrop for the Central Plains’ fame, and a sinner of the Khitan...
"Fourth!"
Han Dezhang grabbed the stunned Handerang and ran away.
But at this moment, the flames in front had begun to spread backwards. Countless soldiers fled backwards in fear. They crowded and pushed each other. Some were extremely nervous and even slashed the friendly troops in front of them with their swords.
Handerang was a little distracted, so he let the guards behind him squeeze him and fell to the ground.
Countless pairs of big feet trampled over Handerang's body. "Fourth!"
Han Dezhang screamed in horror again. He pushed the frightened soldiers like crazy, trying to save his brother.
A sharp blade passed through his chest. His movement was too big, and the surrounding soldiers had already been angered. In such a defeated situation, who cares whether you are the commander or not.
A Jurchen soldier who was lucky enough to squeeze out saw Han Dezhang pushing him and gave him a knife.
Handerang instinctively held his head and huddled on the ground.
As pairs of big feet trampled past, Handerang became more and more out of breath, and his eyes gradually lost sight:
"I want to help the Khitan grow stronger and drink from the Yellow River again!" "I want to avenge my father and lead the Khitan soldiers to destroy the Central Plains!"
"Xun Ning, you and I, both civil and military, will definitely help Khitan regain its glory." Various memories emerged in my mind.
All dreams have become nothing...
The Jurchen army thought that the Khitan had escaped from the military camp by chance, but they soon discovered that two groups of cavalry on the left and right flanks were suddenly coming.

**********
Twenty-five miles south of Dading Mansion is Dayu Military Camp.
Luo Youdu received the news that the entire Khitan surprise attack army had been wiped out, and he secretly exclaimed: "Luckily."
Yelu Wuzhi's move was really good, he really deceived Luo Youdu and a group of advisers and staff.
Although Luo Youdu had doubts during the process, Yelusha's death dispelled his thoughts until that night, Wu Desi sent news about Yi Shenzheng.
Luo Youdu vaguely remembered that night when Zhang Jin found him in a panic: "Your Majesty, there is news about Yi Shenzheng."
"Very good!"
Luo Youdu was full of joy at that time. He arranged for Yi Shenzheng and Chen Chuyao to go to Goryeo, and the task was successfully completed.
Although Chen Chuyao has always been the creditor in the later stage, if it were not for Yi Shenzheng who was good at dancing in the early stage, Chen Chuyao would easily not have gained the respect of Wang Zhao, the king of Goryeo.
Chen Chuyao had retired with great success, but Yi Shenzheng's whereabouts were unknown. It was only known that he had become a prisoner of the Khitan and was escorted to Shangjing by Brother Yelvxiu.
Luo Youdu has always been friendly to people who are loyal to him and to ministers who have made great contributions to the country. He did not give up the search for Yi Shen Zheng because he had lost his value. Instead, he asked Wu Desi to do his best to investigate Yi Shen Zheng's whereabouts and find ways to rescue him.
Bianjing enjoys happiness.
Luo Youdu was delighted from the bottom of his heart when he got the news from Yi Shen Zheng. The news about the navy in Khitan was delivered by Yi Shen Zheng.
It turned out that brother Yelvxiu saw that Yi Shenzheng was quite talented, so he brought him to Shangjing to accept the arrangements of the Khitan officials.
The official responsible for assessing the Yi Shen Zheng was called Guo Xi, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Khitan. He was a Han Chinese who was born in the Khitan. He had good strategism and was a good hand in administration.
Yi Shenzheng's character was flawed, but his talent was undoubted. He quickly passed the examination and was appointed magistrate of Lekang County.
Lekang is located in Taizhou, Khitan, which is later known as Sijiazi Village on the north bank of the Taoer River in the northeast of Taonan City, Jilin Province. It was deserted in the early years, but because it is located in the lower reaches of the Hun River, there is a large area of land that can be reclaimed around it. Yelu Abaoji will move from there
The people plundered from the Central Plains were settled here and gradually formed a small village.
Yi Shenzheng is good at flattering people and adapting to the wind. A sycophant like him will never treat him badly. He has been a prime minister, so if he is asked to do the county magistrate's work, he will be easily captured.
He first relied on his extraordinary emotional intelligence to establish a relationship with the wealthy gentry in Lekang County, and saw the shortcomings of Lekang County. With his sharp tongue, he encouraged the wealthy gentry to invest in building roads and diverting water, so that the water from the Hun River could be introduced into the Lekang County.
Field area.
The main direction of water diversion here is the land owned by the wealthy gentry, but the surrounding people can also get a share of the pie.
In just over a month, Yi Shenzheng has become a good official loved by everyone in Lekang County.
One day, Yi Shenzheng received an order from Shangfeng, asking him to lead the people of Lekang County to dredge a canal and divert the water from the Hun River to the Xiliao River.
This order made Yi Shenzheng feel baffled.
The Northeast at this moment is truly the Great Northern Wilderness. Without heavy equipment, it is impossible to reclaim wasteland in many places.
The distance from the Hun River to the Xiliao River is not long, but there are dense swamps and dense forests along the way, and the land is hard and unsuitable for human survival. It is completely meaningless to divert the water to the Xiliao River.
However, Yi Shenzheng's greatest advantage is that he is obedient. He just does what Shangfeng arranges. He doesn't ask too many questions, let alone show his specialness, and calls on the people to obey orders.
The Khitan was very satisfied with Yi Shenzheng's attitude, and asked him to supervise the work, entrusting tens of thousands of people around him to manage, and asked him to dig a canal two feet wide and one foot deep within a limited time.
Yi Shenzheng had even more doubts in his mind. How could an irrigation river need to be two feet wide and one foot deep?
Yi Shenzheng was curious and took advantage of his position to discuss the matter with his subordinate county magistrate.
Many county magistrates complained repeatedly, especially in the process of digging canals, that they were in urgent need of craftsmen.
After careful investigation, Yi Shenzheng was keenly aware that five years ago, craftsmen suddenly became a rare commodity. Many craftsmen in his village went to big towns to make a living, and it was said that they were doing well.
Immediately review
Zheng Lean thought of the strange stories in the village: it was said that there was a dragon causing trouble in the upper reaches of the Hun River. If their fishing boats approached, they would be swallowed by the dragon. Some people also said that there was a group of cannibal savages living in the upper reaches of the Hun River. There were already more than a dozen people in the village who did not believe in evil.
The fisherman disappeared.
Moreover, some ship wood chips and some domestic garbage will drift down the upper reaches from time to time.
Yi Shenzheng put these things together and noticed some clues. Looking at the canals they dug, he thought, this is not irrigation but boating, right?
Yi Shenzheng found a map and found that as long as the Hun River and Liao River were connected, this canal would lead directly to the Liaodong Gulf.
Wu Desi found Yi Shenzheng at this time.
Yi Shenzheng told Wu Desi's spies about his findings, and sure enough, they discovered the shipyard and their navy in the upper reaches of the Hun River.
When Yi Shenzheng was rewarded, his eyes were filled with achievements. He wrote a letter in person, adding information about how he cleverly discovered the traces of the Khitan navy.
Jealousy, Wu Desi's spy was passed to Luo Youdu.
Luo Youdu learned about the Khitan navy and contacted his superiors to understand Yelu Wuzhi's plan. He immediately pretended to be arrogant and used the plan to lure the snake out of the cave.
Luo Youdu put the news in his hand into the fire and burned it, and said loudly: "Quickly, summon the generals to discuss the matter."
Even though it was early in the morning, the core generals still gathered in the imperial tent within three tongs and drums!
