The man was very cautious and kept his eyes on his surroundings. Seeing the masters of internal machine surveillance approaching him from all directions, he immediately became alert, and suddenly a scimitar was revealed.
"Puff puff!"
The scimitar slashed at the surrounding people. In an instant, two or three people were caught off guard and fell to the ground, with blood splattering everywhere.
"ah!"
"Help!"
The fleeing people had never seen such a scene before. They were like wasps that exploded in a pan, scurrying around and screaming constantly.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the middle-aged man immediately jumped on his horse and fled northward, trying to use the chaotic crowd to cover his escape.
"It's the Full Moon Messenger!" Cao Qingyan recognized the weapon in his hand at a glance.
The round scimitar is the symbol of the Full Moon Messenger.
"Quick, catch him!" Li Yi yelled after hearing this.
The surrounding dragoons were immediately alert and mounted their horses, intending to intercept him from the left and right wings through the chaos of the fleeing people.
For a time, the entire official road was filled with crying and shouting. Many old, weak, women and children were pushed to the ground, wailing everywhere.
As for the middle-aged man, taking advantage of the chaotic crowd, he lay on his horse and ran dozens of steps away.
At this distance, even Suoyi couldn't guarantee that one arrow could knock someone off his horse.
Li Yi was extremely anxious. If this person was really the envoy of the Full Moon and a mastermind of the Northern Liao Kingdom, he must not be allowed to leave alive, otherwise his 10,000 dragon cavalry would be in trouble.
But the chaotic fleeing people blocked the speed of the dragoon and watched the middle-aged man flee wildly.
Suoyi gritted his teeth, grabbed the big bow, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, but he still couldn't find the opening to release the arrow.
The middle-aged man fled, lying on his horse and looking back coldly, his eyes full of disdain for them.
The man's speed became faster and faster, and he fled further and further away.
Suoyi cursed angrily, and without caring about anything else, he slowly drew the bow and nocked the arrow again, took a deep breath, and suddenly loosened the bow string. The big arrow flew away with a whooshing sound, making a sound of breaking.
"asshole!"
A roar.
The big arrow hit the middle-aged man's shoulder and passed by him. It was just one step away from shooting the man off his horse.
At this moment, Li Yi suddenly snatched the short crossbow of the internal machine monitor expert and quickly took aim.
"Your Majesty, it's too far and out of reach!" Suoyi reminded nervously.
He couldn't hit it, let alone others, not to mention that the short crossbow had a shorter range and weaker power.
If Your Majesty misses the shot, I'm afraid it will make people laugh.
"boom!"
A ray of cold light shot out of the short crossbow in Li Yi's hand, passing through the chaos of the fleeing people, and hit the man's horse in the butt.
"Herod!"
The horse was in pain and threw the man off the horse.
Suo Yi exclaimed, looking at Li Yi with admiration.
As everyone knows, rescuing hostages with crossbows is Li Yi's specialty.
Cao Qingyan and the others took the opportunity to rush towards the Full Moon Envoy, preparing to capture him alive.
Suoyi was the fastest and grabbed the man's collar. Before he could see the man's appearance clearly, he drew his scimitar and slashed towards his face.
"Fuck you, you big wind dog!" The man yelled angrily, the scimitar in his hand not slowing down.
Suoyi is also a man who has experienced hundreds of battles, and his reaction speed is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.
He subconsciously turned his face to the side, and the blade of the scimitar wiped his face, empty.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Suoyi grabbed the man and threw him to the ground. He inserted one hand into his arm and pressed his cheek with the other hand to prevent him from moving.
Unexpectedly, the man was also very agile. He turned around and avoided Suoyi's capture.
He suddenly turned around and rushed toward the fleeing people.
But what he didn't know was that behind Suo Yi was Cao Qingyan. Facing a martial arts master like Cao Qingyan, all his moves were like a child playing house.
"boom!"
The scimitar was knocked away directly, and he was hit in the chest by Cao Qingyan's punch. His body was hit and he fell ten steps away. His mouth and nose were bleeding, and his brain went blank.
By the time he regained his composure, he was already being held tightly by several internal machine surveillance masters and pinned to the ground.
This middle-aged man's intestines were filled with regret at this time.
It is true that he is the messenger of the full moon, but he is also the scout captain of the King of Beiyuan of the Northern Liao Kingdom.
Because he was proficient in Dafeng dialect, he was sent to explore the area of Dafeng Northland.
He arranged for other Bei Liao scouts to search the surrounding countryside, but he was the only one who dressed up as a refugee to explore the enemy's situation.
When he mingled with the refugees and headed south, he accidentally discovered the Golden Dragon Banner, which was the flag of the emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty. This showed that the little emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty had really gone on a personal expedition.
After getting this information, if he brought it back, he would definitely be rewarded with military merit. But he didn't expect that he was discovered just as he was about to flee south.
He was pinned to the ground, unable to move at all, and his hands and feet were tied with chains.
Li Yi walked over and looked him up and down, "Are you a scout from Beiliao?"
The man was silent.
Suoyi cursed angrily, punched him, and ripped off the dog-skin hat from his head.
A bald black and green head was exposed, with a ring of hair around it and two small braids on the back of the head.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, you are really from Beiliao!"
Li Yi nodded, "This kid should be the little leader of the Beiliao people. He has a very strict mouth. No matter what method you use to bring him down, make him spit out the information."
"No, Your Majesty, just look at it. I'll do it myself to see how long this kid can last!" Suoyi gritted his teeth.
The master of the internal machine surveillance also found a lot of gold and silver jewelry from the Bei Liao man's horse, especially some women's jewelry, with blood on it.
Li Yi took a look and said, "Tell Suo Yi, after the interrogation, don't let this kid die happily."
There is no doubt that each piece of jewelry may be a life.
Not long after, bursts of miserable howls began.
Half an hour later, Suo Yi came back, his hands still full of blood.
"Your Majesty, let me ask you clearly. There is a thousand-man team of Bei Liao people thirty miles away from here. They do not participate in the battle, but are responsible for monitoring the reinforcements from the capital to Jiubian."
"In addition, this time when going south, the Northern Liao Kingdom moved almost in full force. Their North Court King and South Court King personally led the army south. The purpose was no longer to simply plunder, but to go south to occupy the land of our Gale Dynasty. Specifically, This guy doesn't know how many people there are, but he estimates it won't be less than 300,000 people."
The military structure of the Northern Liao Kingdom is inherently chaotic. The King of the South Campus, the King of the North Campus, and the chiefs and leaders of all sizes have no specific limit on the number of soldiers and horses commanded by them. Let alone a scout captain, it is estimated that the Northern Liao Kingdom's The king doesn’t even know.
Li Yi frowned and said worriedly: "Jiubian is under a lot of pressure!"
"I guess that since the Northern Liao Kingdom wants to invade the territory of our Gale Dynasty, the capture of Jiubian may be just a gimmick. What they really want is to destroy the reinforcements of our Gale Dynasty and prepare to encircle the reinforcements to weaken our energy. , consume our troops, and then go south easily."
Suo Yi hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Li Yi pondered for a moment, "The Northern Liao Kingdom is preparing to encircle the area and send reinforcements. Then I will come in the middle and completely defeat the Northern Liao Kingdom."
"Suoyi, send scouts to search and advance, find the base of the Thousand-Man Corps in the Northern Liao Kingdom, and eat it first."
"No!" Suoyi was excited when he heard that there was going to be a war.
Regarding the fighting method of the Northern Liao Kingdom's cavalry, Li Yi had long understood that dealing with the Northern Liao Kingdom could not be the same as dealing with the Allied Forces of the Aristocratic Family.
The two are not players of the same level.
What's more, he also wanted to see with his own eyes how the Northern Liao army fought?
Therefore, he decided to use himself as bait to personally lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, and then gather them together to annihilate them.
For this reason, he personally led two thousand dragon cavalry, pretended not to know, and slowly approached the northern Liao Kingdom's garrison.
Suoyi, Guo Polu and Guo Pofeng each led two thousand dragon cavalry on the left and right rear, following from a distance, ready to support at any time.
This time, Li Yi wanted to annihilate this Northern Liao army without letting anyone go.
Sure enough, they had just marched twenty or thirty miles when they saw several scouts from the Northern Liao Kingdom in the distance, passing through the thin dense forest and appearing in sight.
These scouts from the Northern Liao Kingdom were very cautious and just watched from a distance, not daring to get close.
Soon they retreated.
Cao Qingyan asked: "Your Majesty, did the Beiliao people scare away?"
"No, these Beiliao people went south all the way without encountering almost any obstruction. They are so courageous. How could they escape so easily? I guess they must have sent someone to go."
Sure enough, in just the blink of an eye, dozens more scouts from the Northern Liao people appeared.
This time, they dared to approach within 200 steps.
Although there are only more than fifty cavalry, they are scattered in four directions, and they seem to be surrounded by more than two thousand dragoons.
Li Yi nodded to Cao Qingyan, "Let the masters of internal machine surveillance take action to drive them away!"
"No!" Cao Qingyan waved his hand, and a dozen masters of internal machine surveillance flew out like a sudden wind.
