Autumn, the second year of the Daqian calendar.

Emperor Lin Nuo appointed Lu Junyi as commander-in-chief and Yue Fei as deputy general. Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo and other five tiger generals were all sent back from various places by warning. A total of 100,000 elite cavalry and 50,000 ordinary infantry were mobilized, making a total army of ten Fifty thousand, set out to conquer the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The reason why we chose this time to go on the expedition is because this year the weather in the north has been smooth, and the rainfall could not have been more suitable. Coupled with the suitable sunshine and mild climate, the rice in Daqian Kingdom and even the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture in the north is growing well. The mountains and fields are covered with yellow and clear water, as if gold has been sprinkled all over the place.

Autumn is the harvest season, and Lin Nuo is ready to take over this treasure land that has been occupied by the Liao Kingdom for hundreds of years. Of course, he will also help the people here to collect food.

After all, most of the military rations for future expeditions to the Liao Kingdom will probably be hoarded from here.

...

Yanzhou.

Most of the Liao army stationed here have been recruited and returned. As expected by the officials of the Daqian Kingdom, the Liao court has given up its defense of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, and most of the troops and horses have been placed in the Liao Kingdom. Guard the royal capital near the capital.

"Hurry up, the soldiers and horses of Qian Kingdom will come at any time. Hurry up and collect more food. Let's leave as soon as possible!"

Within a radius of fifty miles around Yanzhou City, groups of Liao troops were supervising the people's harvest of autumn grain. They were the last troops left by the imperial court in Yanzhou. Their number was less than 10,000. The remaining task was to Before Qian Guo sends troops, collect more food.

For the Liao Kingdom, this year has been truly eventful.

In order to successfully destroy the Jin State, the Liao State sent envoys to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty. In order to express its sincerity, the Liao State even sent 100,000 troops to eliminate the rebellious Daqian State on behalf of the Song Dynasty first.

Unfortunately, the army had just left Yanzhou and had not even entered the territory of the Daqian Kingdom. The one hundred thousand Liao army was defeated by the so-called Daqian Kingdom that had been looked down upon before. Almost the entire army was destroyed and those who fled back to the Liao Kingdom , even less than ten thousand people.

That's all. After all, those who went to Qianguo this time were not the elite troops of the Liao Kingdom, and the failure was not difficult to accept. What really made them feel uncomfortable was that this spring, demons came all the way from the grassland and fought thousands of miles. The force completely defeated the 100,000 elite troops recruited by the Liao Kingdom from all over the country.

But it just so happened that the devil whose name could make children stop crying was Lin Nuo, the founding emperor of the Daqian Kingdom.

Two consecutive major defeats, and the kind of defeats that completely demoralized people, made the Liao Kingdom, from the emperor to the ordinary people, fearful of the so-called Daqian Kingdom.

After Lin Nuo made it clear that he wanted to regain the Yanyun territory, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom had many discussions and finally decided that instead of being defeated one by one, it would be better to bring back their troops.

In the view of the Liao Kingdom, the Qian Kingdom was a foreign invasion, while the Jin Kingdom was a civil strife. After many disputes, the officials finally chose the strategy of "to calm down the internal affairs before fighting against foreign aggression".

In the view of the Liao monarchs and ministers, after all, Daqian State was founded not long ago. After occupying the sixteen states of Yanyun, it is estimated that it will be difficult to completely digest this huge territory within one or two years. This precious time can make Liao The country gathered its superior forces and eliminated the Jin Kingdom's most serious enemy in one fell swoop.

Speaking of which, the Liao Kingdom's strategic plan was not wrong, but they underestimated Lin Nuo's determination to unify the world.

...

The autumn air is crisp and the sun is shining brightly. Nearly ten thousand soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, led by general Yelu Chucai, supervising hundreds of thousands of people, are frantically harvesting grain.

This batch of grain will be the military ration for the Liao Kingdom to conquer the Jin Kingdom. It is extremely important and must not be mistaken.

Moreover, according to the news from the Liao Kingdom in Daqian, the Qian Kingdom is now busy with the autumn harvest and has no plans to send troops for the time being. In Yelu Chucai's view, this can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

However, on this day, just when Yelu Chucai felt that the grain harvest was almost complete and was preparing to retreat in the past two days, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves approaching from far away.

"The Daqian cavalry is coming, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The three cavalry scouts in charge of sentinels blew their whistles desperately to alert the people who were harvesting rice and the sergeants who were supervising the matter. They waved their whips and tried to escape frantically.

Phew! Phew! Phew!......

Arrows rained down, and in an instant, the three Liao scouts were covered by the arrows and completely silenced.

Boom boom boom!

The ground was constantly shaking, roaring, and the sound of horse hooves kept ringing from a distance. In Yelu Chucai's shocked eyes, a torrent like a black tide was sweeping towards the outside of Yanzhou City crazily.

It was an elite cavalry group wearing black armor, holding spears, and carrying crossbows. Even the horses underneath were pure black. Looking around, no other colors could be found.

Among this terrifying group of cavalrymen, there are two flags that are particularly dazzling.

"Qian", "Yue"

"Run away!"

Seeing that the war was about to begin, the people suddenly became confused, and all kinds of chaotic shouts resounded through the fields. Men, women, old and young dropped their sickles, threw away the baskets on their shoulders, abandoned the crops they had just harvested, and swarmed toward them. Escape towards Yanzhou City.

"Damn it, didn't the news from those spies say that Da Gan has no plans to send troops for the time being? Where did this cavalry come from?"

Yelu Chucai cursed angrily and had no time to care about the people who were fleeing in all directions. He even didn't care to clean up the hundreds of thousands of stones of grain that were thrown in the fields. He gave an order and, under the escort of the guards, rode his war horse towards Escape to the north.

Yelu Chucai was anxious. He could no longer collect military rations. It was hard to say whether he could save his life.

Whoosh!

In the distance, another wave of arrow rain struck, thousands of crossbows fell, and some Liao soldiers who failed to escape in time were shot to death on the spot. The horrified Yelu Chucai did not dare to look back, and ran away frantically.

"No need to pursue, just collect the loot. Our purpose this time is military rations!"

For the fleeing Liao army, this large group of cavalry did not pursue them. Instead, they formed a formation in front of Yanzhou City. Under the command of the leading general, some entered the city to garrison, and some began to transport food into the city. Everything seemed orderly. .

"General Yue, I can only take charge of the transportation of military supplies. Please enter the city first to take charge of the overall situation!"

The person who spoke, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, was the young Marquis of Wen Lu Fang, who was highly anticipated by Lin Nuo. During this army expedition, he was assigned as a general under Yue Fei.

Yue Fei, who was also wearing black armor, took off his helmet, nodded solemnly, and then led more than a thousand cavalry into Yanzhou City.
