When Zhao Qingye ran to the Beiliao people's fence, what greeted him was not flowers and applause, but crossbow arrows with cold light.
"Oops, the enemy sneak attack!"
"Quick, call someone!"
"Xuanfu Town has sent people for a sneak attack, shoot the arrow quickly!"
The people of Beiliao were also shocked. Why did General Gale suddenly appear?
In the chaos, countless Bei Liao soldiers holding crossbows aimed at Zhao Qingye and loosened their bow strings.
"Ah, I'm not..."
"Puff puff!"
The sky was filled with arrows from all directions, and Zhao Qingye was shot to the core in an instant, with thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
Looking from a distance, Zhao Qingye seemed to have turned into a steel hedgehog.
Poor Zhao Qingye, he happily took refuge with the Beiliao people, but in the end, he died at the hands of his new master. It was really ridiculous.
This scene is both shocking and cruel.
At least for the head of the Zhao family, this is really cruel.
He watched his son die in front of him, but there was nothing he could do.
"son……"
The head of the Zhao family burst into tears, out of grief and sadness, but more importantly, regret.
He doted on Zhao Qingye more than his father's love. No matter what mistakes Zhao Qingye made since he was a child, he would find a way to cover it up, but he never thought of correcting it for him.
For example, Zhao Qingye, who was in the capital, committed a heinous crime against his current emperor. All he had to do was find a way to save his son's life, and in the end he sacrificed his daughter's life.
Maybe now he starts to really regret it.
Cao Qingyan sighed, "Doting and killing your son is like an invisible knife!"
At this point, no one in Xuanfu Town dared to mention surrender, and the soldiers guarding the city resumed their defense arrangements.
The head of the Zhao family was also too grieved and handed over the power of defending the city to Cao Qingyan.
The first thing Cao Qingyan did when he took over Xuanfu Town was to give the people of Beiliao a "big gift!"
at the same time.
Li Yi's camp.
Although it was late at night, the Chinese army camp was still brightly lit, and bursts of discussion could be heard from time to time.
Li Yidian sat on the throne and stared at the map of the Northland in front of him. Arrows and circles marked the current location and march route of the Beiliao people.
"Everyone, there are only two paths before us. First, defeat the 400,000 elites of the Northern Liao Dynasty in front of us and save Xuanfu Town. Second, go south to save the people, abandon the entire northern land of the Gale Dynasty, and take advantage of the terrain. Resist, and then choose the place for the decisive battle again."
All the soldiers were silent.
Suoyi looked left and right, then stood up directly, "Your Majesty, the Bei Liao people are right in front of you. If we withdraw, Xuanfu Town will be finished. Even if we defeat the Bei Liao people in the future, won't the Beidi be the same?" Is it finished?"
"The general thought that he would fight to the death with the Bei Liao people, so he stationed 400,000 Bei Liao people's dog heads at the foot of Xuanfu Town to let the world see the momentum of my new Gale Army!"
Guo Polu also stood up and said: "Yes, the last general also agrees with General Suoyi's opinion and fight to the end!"
Li Yi looked at the two of them, feeling secretly happy in his heart. He tapped the slip of paper with his hand, "You two are very brave, but don't forget that we only have 10,000 dragon cavalry in front of us, while the Bei Liao people have 400,000." , and this doesn’t include their auxiliaries!”
"How do you think this battle should be fought?"
"This!" No one dared to say anything now.
Ten thousand versus 400,000, even if the dragoons had advanced equipment bonuses, they would never be able to match the 400,000 Beiliao people.
Suo Yi was confused and said: "Sir Cao Fengyang's reinforcements are coming soon. Can't we still fight against the Beiliao people?"
Li Yi said calmly: "Cao Fengyang has brought 100,000 new troops, and the strength is still four to one!"
"How do you want to fight?"
But at this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"If you ask me, we can't fight this battle and retreat!"
This sudden sound made everyone present frown and look angry.
Suoyi jumped up directly, "How dare you, who dares to interrupt the military discussion? I'm tired of living!"
A man walked in from outside the tent. He was dressed in felt iron armor, with a long knife on his waist, and a pointed helmet on his head. He had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He had an extraordinary temperament. Between his eyebrows and eyes, he was vaguely similar to the current queen Ye Qingluan.
"Who are you? Who allowed you to come in? Get out!"
Suoyi didn't give any face, and directly cursed.
Li Yi also frowned, showing displeasure. What happened to the Chinese army guards? How could they let people into the Chinese army's tent casually?
But the young general was not angry. He glared at Suo Yi and knelt down on the ground. "I, Ye Qingfeng, the commander-in-chief of the three towns in Liaodong, pay homage to your majesty. Long live my emperor! Long live the emperor!"
When Li Yi heard the words Ye Qingfeng, he immediately understood that this was someone sent by his wife's family.
No wonder the guards didn't stop him. It must have been his wife who even gave him the Queen's token.
It's just that Ye Qingluan's natal family has always been tepid towards him. Why did they take the initiative to send troops to support them this time?
This really made Li Yi a little confused.
"Please get up quickly!" Li Yi stood up suddenly, walked quickly towards Ye Qingfeng, and helped him up personally.
Although Li Yi didn't know how to get along with these frontier generals, in short, if he didn't hit the smiling person, he would be so kind and the other party would not deny him face.
Ye Qingfeng was startled when he saw this, as if he didn't expect Li Yi to be so approachable.
This was completely different from what he had heard.
They all say that today's man is stupid and incompetent, but when we see him today, it doesn't seem to be the case.
"Your Majesty." Ye Qingfeng returned the gesture with fists raised.
Li Yi took his hand and walked straight to the top, "Qingfeng, there is no need to be so polite between you and me. We are a family."
"Ah, this..." Ye Qingfeng's unruly attitude just now disappeared without a trace, and he became shy.
"Sit down, I'm not a veteran general, and I don't know much about military matters. You're here just in time. I want to hear your opinion?" Li Yi's manners and humility made Ye Qingfeng a little at a loss.
But then, he put forward his own opinion, "The general believes that in this battle, we should retreat in order to advance, abandon Xuanfu Town, and abandon the Jiubian Northland."
Suoyi and the others were immediately furious, but because Li Yi glared at them, they all held back and did not dare to express their anger.
Hearing this, Li Yi did not refute, but asked: "Why?"
He knew that this was not only the opinion of Ye Qingfeng, but also the opinion of Ye Qingluan's father, Mr. Ye.
Ye Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, have you ever fought against people from Beiliao?"
Li Yi nodded, "I've fought several times, with wins and losses."
"They are all scouts, Caogu Army?" Ye Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, his tone full of contempt.
Li Yi nodded, and that was indeed the case, including the five thousand forwards of the Northern Liao Army, who were also considered scouts.
"That's right. The real elites of the Northern Liao people are called tiger knights, eagle knights, and Tielin elite warriors. These three armies are the real elites of the Northern Liao. To put it bluntly, , even if our three-town cavalry meet on the battlefield, we won’t get much advantage.”
When Ye Qingfeng said this, he paused and looked at Suoyi and the others present.
But the expressions on their faces were expressions of surprise.
Are the Tiger Cavalry Warriors very strong?
Are the Eagle Knights strong?
Doesn’t it seem very powerful?
As for the Tielin warriors, I haven’t met him yet, so I guess he’s not that good.
But in Ye Qingfeng's eyes, they all looked frightened, and he suddenly felt secretly happy.
He continued: "This is the real combat power of the Bei Liao people. Every Bei Liao cavalry who can be called a soldier is an elite in his own way. Each of them is a veteran who has survived hundreds of battles and has extraordinary arm strength. They are skilled with bows and horses, and the most important thing is that these people are not afraid of death."
Li Yi nodded and scratched his head helplessly. How should he answer this?
There are more than 4,000 heads of Tiger Cavalry and Eagle Cavalry soldiers, all marinated in lime. Are they ready to be taken back to the capital?
As for how awesome it is? I really didn’t see it.
Finally, Suo Yi couldn't help it any longer and glanced directly at him and said: "What kind of bullshit elite are you just like a bird? On the battlefield, I still beat the crap out of you!"
These words directly angered Ye Qingfeng. He had been taught since childhood not to underestimate the enemy, and he should never treat the enemy as a child's play at any time.
It takes all your strength to fight a lion against a rabbit, let alone a fight!
"Shut up, as a dignified general, you actually said such words that underestimated the enemy. If you lose because of this, are you worthy of your soldiers?" Ye Qingfeng also had a strong temper and scolded Li Yi directly in front of him. .
This time, Li Yi was not happy anymore.
This was just for Ye Qingluan's sake, otherwise the big-eared scraper would have been slapped directly.
Who the hell do you think you are? You dare to scold my beloved general.
Suo Yi's temper wasn't very good either. He replied directly: "That's right, I underestimated my enemy. What's wrong?"
He stood up, put one foot on the stool, and glared at Ye Qingfeng, "I underestimate the enemy, that's because I have fought with the Beiliao people with real swords and guns, but it's just not that good!"
"In my account, there are still eighteen dog heads from the Northern Liao people, including five centurions, two thousand captains, and the others are all ten captains. As for the tiger cavalry warriors, eagle cavalry warriors you mentioned, I don’t want anyone who is a soldier to be rare!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingfeng was really irritated. He had seen braggarts before, but he had never seen anyone who could brag like this.
Their three-town cavalry had fought against the Biliao people not once or twice, but for decades.
In the past few decades, they had beheaded only more than a thousand Beiliao people, but the highest level was a thousand-man captain.
But today, he actually heard that someone killed two Bei Liao captains. Wasn't this a slap in the Ye family's face?
"You're talking nonsense, who do you think you are? You killed two captains..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yi hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, we are all brothers. If you like the head of the Beiliao people, I have a captain of ten thousand men in my tent, and I will give it to you."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the entire tent, and you could hear a pin drop.
