The news that the balloon on which Li Ting and three other people were riding lost control and the three of them took off in the wind was reported to Huanglonggang at night.
Guo Ning fought for a day and suffered many wounds and bleeding. He worked hard to negotiate with others. After returning to the camp, he felt exhausted and exhausted and went to bed early.
As a result, I was woken up from a deep sleep and learned that such a ridiculous thing had happened in Xianping Mansion. When the several generals who gathered in the camp heard about it, they felt worried and ridiculous at the same time.
One showed a strange expression.
Guo Ning's eyes were still a little blurry, his face was as black as a casserole, and the veins on his forehead were popping out. After holding his forehead and thinking for a while, he said: "This matter must not be spread. Anyone who leaks it will be executed."
Everyone obeyed.
Guo Ning rubbed his face and called: "Han Xuan."
"exist."
Guo Ning took out the golden sword from next to his pillow: "We go out alone, surrounded by tigers. Even if we win, we can't relax a little. The city of Xianping Prefecture cannot be without a heavy general in charge. Don't hesitate to work hard, hold my golden sword, and return to Xianping overnight.
In Pingfu City, I will lead the army and the people on my behalf in the past few days."
"Yes." Han Xuan accepted the order, went out of the tent, lit up a team of cavalry, held high pine torches, and set off immediately.
"To the west and the scouts from all over the north, send five more groups, no, ten groups. Pick people from my guards, all with two horses, and dispatch immediately! Tell them that the threat from the Mongols is still there, any one
We are in deep and dangerous places in the mountains and forests, so we must not neglect them. Anyone who finds the whereabouts of the Mongolian army and the defeated Khitan soldiers will be given a heavy reward by me!"
Zhao Jue bowed down to accept the order and went out of the tent to arrange manpower.
There was a sudden nuisance in the Dinghai navy camp, which naturally could not be concealed from He Shi Lie, Huanduan and others. Soon after, each of the three families sent envoys to find out, lest any important changes had occurred.
Guo Ning had to meet them one by one and told them that they were from Xianping Prefecture to report that nothing happened in the surrounding area, but he still sent more scouts just in case.
After the envoys retreated, Guo Ning wanted to sleep again, but he was too exhausted and excited at the same time, and could no longer fall asleep. When the sound of hoofbeats suddenly sounded outside, and scouts were dispatched, he tossed and turned on the couch repeatedly, and he could no longer fall asleep.
After a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw the pillow on the ground angrily: "That guy Li Erlang is really hateful!"
In fact, the methods of searching for the Mongolian army and the Khitan army are different.
The Mongolian army had fought with Han Xuan and Li Ting before. Although they suffered heavy losses, they were not defeated. Instead, they saw that the situation was not right and took the initiative to lead the army to retreat. The Mongolian cavalry is accustomed to advancing and retreating. As long as the horses are fat, they can run two or three times a day and night.
A hundred miles is easy. Maybe he was still fighting in Huanglonggang during the day and had already gone to Guangpingfu at night.
As for Muhuali's troops, it is said that they are led by the Five Thousand Horses Red Army specially allocated by Genghis Khan. There are many soldiers and horses, and the people shouting and neighing are astonishing, so there is no way to hide it.
Therefore, the focus of the search for the Mongolian army is not actually the Mongolian army, but the complete control of the area around Hampyeong Prefecture, ensuring that the enemy is driven away from a distance, which is enough.
The Khitan army and the Mongolian army are naturally different.
In the early years when the Liao Dynasty was strong and powerful, the reputation of the Khitan army was not very good. People at the time called it "light and unorganized, greedy and unaffiliated, refusing to give in to each other in victory, and not to save each other in defeat." Even in the battle of overwhelming proportions fought by the emperor himself, the soldiers and horses were still weak.
He is shameless in retreating at every turn. Generally speaking, his fierceness and ferocity are not bad, but his tenacity is greatly lacking.
After the fall of the Liao Dynasty, among the Khitan people, except for one big Shi Linya who left for the western border, there were not many heroes who could turn the tide. Instead, there were a large number of Khitan nobles who surrendered to the Jin Kingdom.
The soldiers and horses gathered by Brother Yeluliu at this moment also inherited the Khitan people's usual problems. If they have the upper hand in a fight, everyone will be like wolves and tigers. If they are in a stalemate, they can barely hold on, but once they fall into a disadvantage, they will immediately fall apart.
, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are running like wolves and wolves, and there is no trace of an army at all.
Ding Haijun and the local warlords in Liaodong went everywhere to capture prisoners. They had not finished capturing Xishan at the end of the day. They had set up two or three prisoner camps with no less than seven or eight thousand people in them.
However, no trace of Brother Yelvliu was found.
This person has always been the leader of the Khitans on the ground in Liaodong. If he escapes, he will surely make a comeback in the future, which will inevitably lead to never-ending troubles. Therefore, not only Ding Haijun, but also Heshi Liehuanduan, Alu Zhen and other troops were sent
The meticulous subordinates are constantly searching the mountains and seas from day to night.
This idea is correct.
Brother Yelvliu may not be very good at fighting, but he is able to take advantage of the situation and is quite decisive. Moreover, even if the Khitan army is surrounded by mountains, there are always some loyal subordinates around him.
When the army collapsed before, when he saw that the situation was over, he knew that the key was no longer resistance, but how to escape from the battlefield and preserve his usefulness.
At that moment, he immediately ordered the flag to be put away, took off his luxurious robes, pretended to be in an ordinary retreat, and climbed down from the corner of the slope.
As soon as he and some of his close escorts came down the mountain, Zhang Qian and Dong Jin's troops were killed on the mountain, and the situation instantly deteriorated.
He didn't waste any time and walked towards the depths of the barren mountains. In the meantime, he met his subordinates who were also fleeing three times.
Because these subordinates were able to gather their troops and horses, maintain some organization, and rush to rescue them, Brother Yeluliu greatly praised their loyalty, made many promises, and continued to flee together. However, they were met by Han Xuan on the way.
Under the pursuit of his cavalry, these subordinates died one after another and the whole group dispersed.
In the end, there were only about thirty people following him, only two horses, and no food or water.
Brother Yelvliu fled into the night and finally escaped Ding Haijun's pursuit. He rested for a while on a hilltop full of wild forests. As for the snakes, insects and beasts in the forest, he could no longer care about them.
Brother Yeluliu took off his armor and lay on the ground, leaning against a big tree and dozing off. After a long time of being half asleep, he suddenly heard the low noise of the people around him.
He immediately opened his eyes and shouted in a calm voice: "What's going on?"
"King Liao, the enemy's cavalry sent out to search for them are becoming more and more dense. Just a moment ago, two teams passed by the mountain one after another. Everyone is worried that if the enemy goes up the mountain to look for us, we will suffer immediately. Many people say that it is better to go deeper into the mountain.
Go in."
"That's fine..."
In fact, Brother Yeluliu could no longer walk at all, and going into the mountains late at night was extremely dangerous. But he also knew that at this time, everyone was determined to escape, and he, the king of Liao, could not go against everyone's wishes.
So he had to get up reluctantly. Because of the cool air from the ground, he felt sore all over, his joints creaked, and his eyesight turned black. He waved his hand and took the lead to walk deep into the forest away from the road.
Walking on the dead branches and leaves accumulated over thousands of years, the black tree shadows in front of me seemed to be shaking, like ghosts.
The group was afraid of attracting the attention of the pursuers, but did not dare to light the pine torches. They walked completely in the dark at night, and they did not know how long they had walked. Brother Yeluliu suddenly discovered that there were no traces of his subordinates in front of or behind him.
He stood on his feet, but couldn't stand firm. He held on to the tree beside him and wanted to shout, but he felt hoarse and sharp pain in his throat, like a knife. His power was gone at this time, and all the years of fighting and conquests left behind
His aging and weakness could not be concealed at this time.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a sound in the air.
The sound floated high up, from far to near. He raised his head and tried to look through the dense branches, but couldn't see anything. He could only vaguely make out something like a little light.
The voice became clearer and clearer. It was Han'er's voice. It was someone saying repeatedly in the air: "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over."
The sound repeated countless times and then slowly faded away.
I was about to lose my hearing, and it seemed like someone was shouting from the air: "Shut up!"
Brother Yelvliu was stunned.
He didn't know where this voice came from. Did the legendary immortal really exist? If this was the immortal's words, what did the immortal want to express?
Could it be said that the great cause of the Khitan people's revival is really over?
In an instant, thousands of thoughts flooded into my mind, and countless scenes passed by.
He thought of his efforts to climb up in the army of Dajin; he thought of how he encouraged the Khitan nobles again and again; he thought of how he had clearly launched an army to rebel, but his power was scattered and he had to turn to the emerging overlords on the grassland. Finally, he thought of
The Mongolian army's ruthless use of the Khitan people reminds me of how much vitality the few Khitan people lost in this defeat.
That's all, that's all.
Brother Yeluliu suddenly lost all his strength. He slowly sat down on the ground, and then chose a more comfortable angle to lie down. He heard the suppressed shouts of his subordinates somewhere, as if they were looking for him, but he was too lazy to
Agree again.
It's already over, so why bother?
Brother Yeluliu closed his eyes.
At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew through, rolling the branches of the forest, making a noise like the sound of waves. This noise covered up more sounds from higher up, so he did not hear the repeated repeated sounds before. He went around in a circle, straight
Fly west.
That was the hot air balloon where Li Ting and the others were.
They were blown by the wind, sometimes heading east, sometimes west. The wicker basket was not sheltered from the wind. After two hours, the three of them were blown away like wind chickens hanging under the eaves, and they could not even shiver.
.
Ado tried several times to extinguish the fire and let the balloon fall, but he was so unlucky that he could never find an open, flat area suitable for landing.
At this moment, there was really not much coal and kerosene left, and the balloon could not keep flying for long. But wherever they went, the three of them looked down and saw that they were still full of continuous forests and hills. Once they fell, what would happen?
If they hit the cliff, the three of them would most likely suffer broken bones and tendons!
A Duo was a little scared, so he kept chanting: "It's over, it's over, it's over."
These words made Li Ting very irritable, and he would curse after a while: "Shut up!"
