A fight to the death?
No.
At least Yan Dashan doesn't think so.
"Come up and attack!"
He whispered in a low voice, swept the three to four feet long horse-stem in his hand, and after sweeping several Liao soldiers off their horses, he withdrew from the battle formation and stopped fighting in person.
"Prince!"
The generals and lieutenants who followed Yan Dashan also followed him out of the battle circle after taking care of the enemy troops around them.
"It's time."
Yan Dashan opened his mouth and was about to give an order when an excited voice suddenly came from one side: "General, general! The general is finally fighting alongside the general again!"
Looking sideways, it turned out to be Luo Gan.
His voice was so loud that it could still be heard clearly even on the battlefield where the shouts of death were loud.
Luo Gan was fighting a bloody path to get closer. After he finished speaking, he had finished dealing with the Liao army blocking the road and came to Yan Dashan.
He was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
Yan Dashan glanced sideways at him, nodded, and said, "You are here at the right time. I will leave it to you to defeat the Liao army. You are very suitable."
Luo Gan immediately puffed up his chest and said happily: "General, don't worry, I have been practicing martial arts hard over the years and am proficient in swords and guns. I will definitely live up to the general's expectations."
"General, wait a moment. I'll see you later when I go to pick up Yanxiong's head!"
"..."
He thought that Yan Dashan had given him the task of commanding the battle.
Very happy, he bowed respectfully and turned around to leave.
He couldn't wait to fulfill Yan Dashan's "expectations" for him.
But Yan Dashan stopped him: "I leave this matter to you, not because you are proficient in swords and guns, but because... your voice is loud enough and your voice can travel far enough!"
"General... this... the last general..." Luo Gan was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he was puzzled. What did the general mean by this? What the hell is a loud enough voice?
"I have recaptured Jimen Pass." Yan Dashan said calmly.
"The general is great, the general has done a great job!"
Luo Gan was flattering, but he didn't know why Yan Dashan mentioned this.
Yan Dashan held his forehead and saw that the other generals and deputy generals also had puzzled expressions on their faces, so he said in a deep voice:
"Jimen Pass is the only way for the Liao army to retreat. Now that I have recaptured Jimen Pass, they have no way to retreat. So just shout out the truth and let them know it, and I can shake their military morale!"
"This... is wonderful, why didn't the general think of it?" Luo Gan and his lieutenants suddenly realized, thinking that all the military books they had read before were in vain.
"In order to prevent them from engaging in a trapped beast fight, we can accept their surrender. Those who surrender will not be killed!" Yan Dashan looked at Luo Gan and continued:
"If you speak loud enough, this task will be left to you. Go ahead."
"The last general...takes the order."
Luo Gan couldn't understand how he felt. He was once again favored by General Yan, but it turned out not because he knew how to fight, but because... his voice was loud enough?
】
This is so embarrassing!
But then I thought again, having a loud voice was also an advantage. Although Yan Dashan had many generals and lieutenants around him, he still had to rely on him in the end.
Thinking of this, he felt happy. He quickly got on his horse and rushed into the battlefield. While slashing the enemy with his hands, he shouted in a loud voice:
"Jimen Pass has been lost. You have no way out. Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Jimen Pass has been lost. You have no way out. Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"..."
Luo Gan shouted all the way, which immediately attracted the attention of the Liang troops in the battle, because Luo Gan was their commander-in-chief and their general.
After a little analysis of that sentence, they immediately understood Luo Gan's intention, so they also shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Jimen Pass has been lost. You have no way out. Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"..."
More and more Liang Jun joined them, and in just a few breaths, these words resounded throughout the battlefield and fell into everyone's ears clearly.
The officers and soldiers of the Liao army who were killing so happily felt a chill in their hearts when they heard these words, and their fighting movements gradually stopped.
The officers and soldiers of the Liang Army who were fighting against them also stopped fighting because they shouted "Those who surrender will not be killed".
The two sides faced off with weapons in hand.
The brutal battle seemed to have been pressed on the "pause button".
"No, it's impossible! You must have lied to us. You must not have captured Jimen Pass. You want to use your intrigues to earn our lives!"
A captain in the Liao army shouted loudly.
His words aroused the approval of many Liao soldiers.
From the bottom of their hearts, they don't want to believe this. If Jimen Pass is lost, they will have no way out, which is a very bad situation.
Luo Gan retorted: "Don't forget where General Yan came from. If he had not retaken Jimen Pass, how could General Yan appear in front of you?"
This...makes sense.
The Liao army officers and soldiers fell into silence.
Luo Gan continued: "If Jimen Pass is still in your hands, why don't we see reinforcements coming to meet you?"
This... seems to be a good statement.
The hearts of the Liao army officers and soldiers gradually sank to the bottom. Although they did not want to believe that Jimen Pass had been lost, they...
"Look, over there, General Hu Yan is having a decisive battle with General Yan!"
Someone shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention and looking over there.
Yes, those were Yan Dashan and General Huyan, because Yan Dashan knew clearly that if he wanted to surrender these Liao troops, they must first kill their chief general.
Everyone present understood this.
Everyone remained silent and stared at the two people, waiting for the final result.
Moved.
Yan Dashan and General Hu Yan were seen shouting and rushing towards each other. One was holding a three or four foot long horse spear, and the other was holding a fifty or sixty kilogram Qinglong Yanyue Sword, engaging in a life and death battle.
"kill!"
The two of them rotated their respective weapons and approached each other on horseback, hoping to kill the other in one move and frighten the enemy.
Yan Dashan naturally has this confidence.
But General Huyan was more stubborn and went into battle. Just now, after Luo Gan shouted those words, General Huyan knew that they were finished.
But it is not the style of the Liao people to sit back and wait for death. As the leader of an army, he is even less likely to surrender, and he can only die in battle.
clang!
In an instant, Ma Shan and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife collided, creating brilliant sparks.
This was the first move between the two.
"ah!"
"The general's sword... flew away..."
People exclaimed, and the Liang army cheered, while the Liao army looked gloomy and pale.
Their commander-in-chief, General Hu Yan, was actually not Yan Dashan’s enemy!
The first time their weapons collided, General Hu Yan's Qinglong Yanyue Sword was ruthlessly knocked away by Ma Shan. It flew out of his hand and landed several feet away.
"Ah... General... General!"
Just a few breaths later, the officers and soldiers of the Liao army were shocked again, their voices trembling, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.
It turned out that after the horse sword in Yan Dashan's hand knocked off General Huyan's sword, he flipped his wrist and sent it forward, and the long horse sword accurately pierced General Huyan's heart.
The tip of the spear popped out from the back, bringing out a large amount of blood.
General Hu Yan was stabbed to his core.
The momentum of the two sides continued unabated. General Huyan, who had lost all his strength in an instant, was lifted off the horse by Yan Dashan's horse, and his whole body was suspended in the air...
This scene shocked everyone on the battlefield.
The huge battlefield was so quiet at the moment that you could hear a pin drop.
General, you are worthy of being my general... Luo Gan cleared his throat and shouted:
"Your generals are dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
"If you don't surrender yet, how long will it take?"
"..."
Bang!
A Liao soldier dropped his sword, jumped off his horse, and chose to surrender.
With the first one, there will be followers, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground suddenly sounded on this battlefield, continuously.
…
"Victory!"
The news of the great victory had been sent back to the Yamen lobby in Youzhou City. Su Xian stood up and walked outside the lobby door. He looked up at the white fish belly rising on the horizon and said with emotion:
"This long night is finally over!"
