Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 527: Ice and Snow Grassland 4

The Khitan team was still heading east slowly, half an hour had passed, and Yeluxi hadn't returned yet.

Yelu Dashi felt a little anxious, he ordered the soldiers beside him to go to the south to find Yeluxi, and asked him to lead the soldiers back.

After a while, suddenly a few Khitan soldiers rushed over from the south.

"Khan, something is wrong!" a Khitan soldier shouted anxiously.

"What happened?" Yelu Dashi asked hastily.

"Great Khan, General Yeluxi has been surrounded by the Song army and is in danger!" The Khitan soldier came to Yelu Dashi's side, panting.

"What? Surrounded by the Song army? How many people are there in the Song army?" Yelu Dashi asked hastily.

"The Song army has so many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid there are fifty to sixty thousand!" the Khitan soldier said.

"Less than 50,000 to 60,000 people, maybe 100,000 people!" A Khitan soldier next to him shook his head.

"So many Song soldiers?" Yelu Dashi couldn't believe it.

Just as he was about to ask again, several Khitan cavalry rushed over from afar! These Khitan cavalry were all Khitan soldiers sent by Yeluxi to scout for news. When Yeluxi was surrounded, they saw that something was wrong, and they all returned to report the news immediately.

"Yeluxi is really surrounded? How many is the Song army?" Seeing these Khitan cavalry, Yelu Dashi immediately asked.

"The number of the Song army is about 100,000! General Yeluxi has only 10,000 men, and he is no match for them at all! Khan, you have to go and rescue him immediately!" said a Khitan cavalry who came over this time.

"Raise the army immediately and march south!" Yelu Dashi said immediately without any hesitation.

The Khitan army originally had 140,000 soldiers, but just now Yeluxi led 10,000 soldiers and was wiped out, so now there are only 130,000 soldiers left! Yelu Dashi personally led an army of 100,000 to the south, and the remaining 30,000 people stayed here to take care of the tribe!

Along the way, they encountered another wave of Khitan soldiers begged from the south, and the news they got was exactly the same as before, and the speed of the Khitan army became even faster!

When they were about ten miles south, they heard the thunderous sound of horseshoes coming from a distance!

"It's the Song Army, there are indeed a lot of them!" Yelu Dashi said.

"Let's rush over and fight them!" said a Khitan general.

"No, we have to see their reality first!" Yelu Dashi said.

After about half a quarter of an hour, they really saw the cavalry of the Song army led by Yue Fei! In the night, it was hard to tell how many people there were, but with the sound of horseshoes on the opposite side, Yelu Dashi also confirmed that the number of soldiers and horses of the Song Army on the opposite side was about 100,000!

"Get the soldiers ready for battle!" Yelu Dashi said.

However, after the Song army came to the opposite side of them, they did not launch an attack immediately, which made Yelu Dashi a little puzzled.

Song Jun didn't launch an attack, so naturally he wouldn't launch an attack either! Although he is now leading 100,000 soldiers and horses, he will not fight the Song army head-on! These 100,000 soldiers and horses are the capital he will use to fight for the world and rejuvenate Khitan in the future, and they cannot be spent at will!

"The Song army has come to the grassland, and there are 100,000 people here. It will be much more difficult for us to go to Liaodong!" Yelu Dashi said.

"Khan, do you think the Song Army is really powerful?" asked a general next to him.

"They are very strong, very powerful, even surpassing the original Jurchens! We are slightly inferior to them!" Yelu Dashi said after observing for a while.

Yelu Dashi has been in battle for a long time. Although the two armies did not really start a war, he can judge the strength of the army intuitively! Just as a person has his own temperament, the army also has its own temperament! Like the Song Dynasty army in the early years, the whole team gave people a decadent and scattered feeling, while the Jurchen army in the early years gave people a sharp-edged feeling! The Song army in front of me gave people a sense of self-confidence! Their soldiers seemed to be full of self-confidence, their formations changed calmly, and there were no whispers in their army, only bursts of chill came from them!

Feeling such an army temperament, Yelu Dashi was a little horrified! Generally speaking, only an army that has experienced countless battles and remained undefeated all year round has such a temperament! The Jurchen army in the early years did not have such a temperament. It was not until the Liao Kingdom was about to perish that such a temperament appeared in the Jurchen army! But at this moment, Song Jun has such an aura on his body, which proves that they are no longer under the golden soldiers in their peak state!

As for the Khitan army under him, because of the humiliation of subjugation, the people of the clan lived hard, and the whole army trained hard, but at this moment, the soldiers were extremely nervous! Many soldiers have never experienced war, and their bodies are trembling slightly! Trembling like this is not something you can control at all, it can only be resolved if you have experienced more battles!

Yelu Dashi immediately knew that his army was not as good as the opponent's!

"In just eight years, the Song army has trained such a strong army! No wonder they were able to fight back against Jurchen and wipe out Mongolia! This time we are really in danger!" Yelu Dashi secretly said.

The two sides confronted each other like this, and no one took the initiative to attack, but at this moment, there was a burst of screams from the Khitan team!

It turned out that Yue Fei had a total of 100,000 cavalry under his command. After he wiped out Yeluxi just now, he led 90,000 cavalry here, while Zhang Xian led 10,000 Song cavalry to detour from the west to the north of the Jurchen team! Yelu Dashi left 30,000 people to guard the clansmen, but most of these 30,000 people were deployed in the south. Suddenly, 10,000 cavalry from the Song Army rushed in, and as bows and arrows flew, many Khitan people fell into a pool of blood!

"Not good!" Yelu Dashi was taken aback when he heard the sound coming from a distance.

And the Khitan army was in chaos, their relatives were behind, and now their relatives were attacked, how could they not be in a hurry? The Khitan army did not have the same psychological quality as the Song army, and some Khitan soldiers rushed to the back anxiously.

However, Yelu Dashi was indeed a big deal. He hurriedly restrained the army and led the army slowly to the north!

Yue Fei followed behind Yelu Dashi, and at this moment led the army to press on them suddenly. They were getting closer and closer to the Khitan army, and there was a burst of exclamation from the Khitan army!

However, seeing that the Khitan army was still able to roughly maintain their formation, Yue Fei stopped again, still following behind them.

By the time Yelu Dashi returned to the team, Zhang Xian had already left!

Hundreds of Khitan people died, and the casualties were not too great, but both ordinary Khitan people and Khitan soldiers felt that the situation in front of them was not good!

"Khan, the Han people are so cunning! Now we have to fight the Han people and drive them away!" A Khitan general said.

"That's the only way!" Yelu Dashi thought for a moment, then nodded.

Song Jun was still chasing them behind them, and at this moment Yelu Dashi led one hundred thousand soldiers and horses and rushed straight away!

However, after they rushed over, Song Jun turned around and left immediately!

After Yelu Dashi led the army for more than ten miles, he was worried about the safety of his tribe and had to return again!

All night, the Song Army's 100,000 troops followed behind them. Yelu Dashi kept trying to drive the Song Army away, but it was a pity that the Song Army did not fight them head-on, and Yelu Dashi had no choice!

"We will arrive at Hedong City soon! When we arrive at Hedong City, let the clansmen rest in the city, and we will drive them away!" Yelu Dashi thought for a while and said.

These more than 100,000 people are a burden to the Khitan army, and they are also their weakness. With more than 100,000 people, Yelu Dashi feels that he is very passive.

*****

At noon on October 30th, the Khitan team arrived at Hedong City, but after arriving here, they discovered that Hedong City had turned into ruins!

The city walls and gates of Hedong City have already been demolished, and the city is full of flames, it is impossible to station there!

"Damn it!" Yelu Dashi gritted his teeth!

"Father Khan, the Song army is still following us, what are they going to do?" Yeluyi asked.

"They want to find an opportunity to attack us!" Yelu Dashi said.

"Father Khan, it is indeed too dangerous for us to go to Liaodong! Is there any other way now?" Yeluyi said.

"We go north, and they will follow us! We have more than 100,000 tribesmen, and the speed is too slow, and it is impossible to get rid of them! There is no way, now we have to grit our teeth and continue to Liaodong! Let the tribes hold on for another half a month time! The army will take good care of the people in the next half month! The Song army has only 100,000 troops, and we have 130,000 troops. We will not give them a chance to sneak attack! If they want to fight us hard, we will not let them They feel good!" Yelu Dashi said.

"But the Song army has other troops." Yeluyi said.

"I know, but there is no other way." Yelu Dashi frowned.

On this day, Yue Fei still led 100,000 Song troops to follow behind them. All the Khitan soldiers were very nervous, lest the Song army would attack suddenly!

On the night of October 30th, the Khitans couldn't hold on any longer. They found a place sheltered from the wind and wanted to rest here. Ten miles away!

The more than 100,000 Khitan troops had to mount their horses, ready to fight at any time, and the Khitan people had to stand up again.

However, the Song army still did not launch an attack, and the Khitan's more than 100,000 troops did not dare to relax.

After such a confrontation for half an hour, the Khitan team moved forward again.

November of the lunar calendar came, and from November 1st to November 4th, the Song army followed the Khitan people closely. The Khitan army was extremely nervous. Yelu Dashi tried to fight back several times, but the Song army never let go. Go head-to-head with them, touch and go! On the grassland, there was an empty space, and Yelu Dashi had no idea at this time.

From October 30 until now, the more than 100,000 Khitan troops have not rested for a moment! One hundred thousand Song soldiers followed them, like wild beasts staring at them all the time, how could they rest?

"Father, what exactly is Song Jun going to do?" On the night of November 4th, Yelu Yilie could hardly hold on anymore, he asked his father.

"They competed with us for patience! We didn't rest for five days and five nights, why didn't they do that? We were about to be overwhelmed, and so were they! Don't worry, we Khitan men won't lose to them!" Yelu Dashi said.

But with such words in his mouth, he was getting more and more worried in his heart.

"Father Khan, let's go to Ningzhou! After we get there, we will take a short rest, and we will not be able to bear this rush!" Yeluyi said.

Ningzhou of Liao State is located hundreds of miles north of Shangjing, at the foot of Daxing'an Mountains, from where you can go to Liaodong.

"Okay!" Yelu Dashi nodded.

But at midnight on this day, three long and one short horns suddenly sounded from the Song army behind!

Yelu Dashi has already basically judged the meaning of the Song Army's horn these days, but this is the first time he has heard these three long and one short sounds!

The surrounding Song troops retreated towards the north one after another, including the small group of Song troops in charge of investigation.

"Not good!" Yelu Dashi felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the whole army to assemble!
