Chapter 330: Sacrifice to the country (Class)

Shi Yanchao led more than 20 cavalrymen to follow the dispersed Liao soldiers and plunged deeply into Mount Wutai. At the beginning, everyone sat on the horse and could still vaguely see the Liao army ahead. Later, the mountain road was rugged and everyone could only dismount and walk, and the Liao army also went further and further away, gradually disappearing.

After walking for several miles, Shi Yanchao stopped suddenly and whispered: "Nothing is right! There are birds and beasts in the mountains, so how could it be so quiet? It is clearly an ambush!"

Everyone was shocked, and one of Shi Yanchao's guards suggested that everyone turn around immediately and break through immediately. Shi Yanchao shook his head and whispered while walking forward: "The Liao army has invested such a large amount of capital (more than a thousand people were defeated), how can we break through easily?! Once we turn around and retreat now, the Liao army will definitely swarm out. We cannot defend the bare mountain road, and we will definitely be destroyed. With the current plan, we can only pretend to be unaware of it and continue to move forward, looking for favorable terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fu Shuai has always been smart and can definitely find abnormalities. Moreover, the captured Liao army will also provide their main ambush. At that time, Fu Shuai will definitely send reinforcements, which is the best opportunity for us to get out of trouble!"

Everyone was convinced, so they pretended to be unaware of it and continued to walk forward with Shi Yanchao. Just on the hillside, Yelu Keng whispered to Yelu Wogu, "General, the enemy has entered our ambush circle, we can start it!"

Yelu Wuguo shook his head repeatedly and said with a grudge: "Yes, we gathered five thousand troops to set up an ambush, and sent another thousand troops to Xinzhou to lure the enemy. Is it just to eliminate these more than twenty Zhou cavalry? What I want is a great victory, not a small fight!

These more than 20 Zhou cavalry were just the enemy's scouts. When the enemy's brigade of troops came here, it was the best time for us to launch it!"

Yelu He nodded repeatedly, and soon asked in a low voice: "General, what should we do if Fu Yanqing gets all his main force here?"

Anyway, he was idle, Yelu Wugua explained to his confused cousin Yelu Wulang: "If Fu Yanqing takes all his main force, I will leave one or two thousand people to guard the danger, and all the remaining troops will attack and take down Xinzhou City in one fell swoop! At that time, Fu Yanqing's men will be trapped between Mount Wutai and Xinzhou City, and they will not be able to advance or retreat. If they are hungry for one or two days, they will completely disintegrate. At that time, we will make great contributions, and Your Majesty will definitely reward us more.

If Fu Yanqing only sent some people into the mountains to pursue them, we would eat these Zhou troops and continue to harass Xinzhou City, which would annoy him. At that time, the lord Xiao Lang from Daizhou would also come here. Our two armies joined forces to join forces, and even if they attacked for a strong force, they could still take over Xinzhou City!"

Yelu Han looked at his cousin respectfully. No wonder his cousin was valued by the emperor and led the army alone. He was indeed of good quality. He spent a lot of money to transfer to his cousin's account this time, and finally he came right. If he made some military achievements, he could be a job in supervising the prefectures and counties. By then, the money would be great!

When Yelu Yu thought of this, his saliva couldn't help but flow out. At this moment, a messenger rushed over and whispered to Yelu Wuguo: "General, the more than 20 Zhou cavalry suddenly stopped near the valley entrance. There were dozens of large rocks washed down by large water, which were easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

Yelu Wuguo frowned slightly. It seemed that there were also capable people among these Zhou cavalry, but you only have more than twenty people, so what kind of storm can you make? Moreover, you are isolated in the mountains and cannot contact the follow-up troops at all. Staying in the same place is just seeking death!

Yelu Wuguo smiled coldly and said to Yelu Helm: "Cousin, take two hundred people up and tie the leader of the small group of Zhou army to see me."

Yelu Huang quickly agreed and attacked the enemy with ten times the strength of the troops. The enemy general was ready to take advantage of it. It was his cousin who would come and give me this opportunity to make meritorious contributions!

Yelu Hellen quickly ordered his troops and rushed towards Shi Yanchao, while Shi Yanchao and others were taking advantage of this limited time to quickly build fortifications.

Although the materials here are very short, a peel rope is placed on the nearby big trees, and more than twenty saddles are hung. With a slight connection, it can effectively defend against the scattering of the enemy archers. Anyway, there are not many people, and you can stay under this "sad shield" after squeezing.

The mountain roads here are rugged, and war horses are not very useful. Everyone takes off their horse heads and drives them into the mountains. If enemy soldiers go to catch these war horses, they will waste time; if enemy soldiers ignore them, war horses can avoid the enemy's attacks. At critical moments, a whistle can call these mature war horses, and maybe everyone can escape from these horses.

After everyone was well arranged, Shi Yanchao also surrounded a small fire pit with dry grass in the center of the position, threw a few pieces of wild wolf feces picked up on the road, and took out the flint and prepared to ignite. Looking at the Liao soldiers coming one after another in the distance, Shi Yanchao smiled slightly and immediately lit the dry grass. When the hay pile burned to a certain extent, the wolf feces in the center were also ignited, so a ray of black smoke immediately went to the sky. In this ancient society without industrial pollution, the wolf smoke was a very obvious sign of attack.

The wolf smoke was so eye-catching that even Yelu Wugu, who was standing in the distant mountains and forests, could clearly see it. He was furious: "Why is Yelu Han so incompetent? Ten times the force of the troops made people lit the wolf smoke!"

Yelu Wugu would definitely not say that he did not expect that the Later Zhou army would lit up the smoke. On the contrary, he attributed all his mistakes to Yelu Wulang who was delaying his affairs. Yelu Wugu cursed and ordered people to go and urge Yelu Wulang to make him redeem his sins. Otherwise, even if the two were cousins, Yelu Wugu would have to marches!

The messenger quickly rushed to Yelu Erlang and informed him of Yelu Wugu's military order. Yelu Erlang was stunned immediately and did not command the troops to disperse in an orderly manner, allowing the soldiers to rush towards Shi Yanchao.

The mountain road is narrow and the place where soldiers can fight each other is very small. In addition, Shi Yanchao chose a favorable terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which further improved his chances of winning. Shi Yanchao also specially selected five people to hide in the innermost position and hold direct aiming and shooting at the enemy.

As for Shi Yanchao himself, he stood at the outermost periphery of the position with his blood-stained spear, and heard him shouting loudly: "If you want my Shi Yanchao's life, just take your life!"
