back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 479 Comeback
The night came as promised, and in the solar terms of early winter, it got dark very early.

Because it was a hundred-mile raid, the frontier soldiers in Fengsheng Prefecture did not dare to start a fire, so they could only eat dry food, drink water as cold as ice, and feed the horses enough fodder and fine beans, then they leaned on each other and squinted. Eye.

Fortunately, these frontier soldiers were already used to the cold weather, and they wore thicker clothes. Otherwise, in such a cold weather, they would definitely catch the wind and chill.After midnight, the snow
Even Yang Wenguang just set up a small tent with his own soldiers, huddled with Wang Shao, and took a rest.

I don't know how long I slept for, but Wang Shao suddenly felt a gust of cold wind rushing in, and he woke up immediately.At this time, a mobile snowman dressed as a spy rushed in with snowflakes all over his head and face, and said, "The Khitans are fighting!"

Yang Wenguang was getting old, his sleep was very light, and he even woke up one step earlier than Wang Shao.Because I was lying down with my clothes on, I took the armor and put it on, and said, "What's going on?"

Wang Shao noticed that the sky was not yet bright at this moment, and it was still pitch black.He wondered why Yelu Zhongyuan would attack at night, which is not in line with the Khitan people's habits!You know, Khitan people don't like to eat green vegetables, and the probability of soldiers suffering from night blindness is much higher than that of Dashun.A large part of the reason why he was able to sneak attack successfully before was also due to the Khitan people themselves.The soldiers with night blindness realized that there was an enemy attack, but they were able to react, but it was a pity that their eyes were not strong enough, so the result can be imagined.

But the problem is, it's not Dashun's army that is attacking now, but the Khitan people's civil war. Could it be that Yelu Zhongyuan wants to make up for the lack of troops on his side by doing this?

Before he had time to think about it, Yang Wenguang issued a military order: "The whole army presses up, watch the fire from the other side, and wait for the opportunity to go up!"

Wang Shao knew that he had to see the battle situation with his own eyes in order to make a judgment.According to the Supervision Department's information, Yelu Zhongyuan is not good at military affairs, but among the rebels he colluded with, there is no shortage of people who are familiar with military affairs.As for why the attack was launched at this time, there is no definite information, so it is difficult to make a judgment.The talent of a general must be improvised, and how to do it specifically has to be judged on the battlefield based on the battle situation.

Yang Wenguang waved away the spies, and Wang Shao suddenly remembered something: "What time is it now?"

Before the spies walked out of the camp, he quickly turned around and said, "It's just past Mao..."

"Mao time, Mao time? Yes, I understand!" Wang Shao is worthy of being a graduate of the Royal Military Academy. He has a clear understanding of the timing, location, and harmony of people. He immediately understood why Yelu Zhongyuan's side launched an attack at this time. .This is the darkest period before dawn, which can offset the numerical advantage of Yelu Hongji's side to the greatest extent; on the other hand, if they can't fight, it will be dawn soon, and they can turn around and leave.

When Wang Shao said it, Yang Wenguang also reacted: "That's right, according to Commander Wang, who will win and who will lose in this battle?"

Wang Shao smiled slyly and said, "We will fight whoever wins, what's so difficult about that?"

Yang Wenguang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "Hahaha, yes, we will fight whoever wins!" They walked out of the camp talking and laughing, and when the soldiers saw them coming out, they immediately took the tent back to the poor horses delivering food and grass above.

After everything was ready, it didn't even take a quarter of an hour for the frontier army in Fengsheng Prefecture to be fully equipped and ready to leave at any time.

When Yang Wenguang and Wang Shao got on their mounts, the frontier army of Fengsheng Prefecture rushed towards the Luan River like a torrent of steel in the dark night.Of course not at full speed, the cavalry's short-distance sprint is the most powerful, if the horsepower is wasted before the battle, the horse will have no explosive power when it comes to charging.Although the frontier soldiers of Fengsheng Prefecture did not understand such a deep truth, they had engraved this truth in their minds through practice and the experience left by their predecessors.

Taizi Mountain is only more than ten miles away from Luanhe Palace.At the speed of the Fengsheng State Frontier Army, it only took two quarters of an hour.The closer they got to the Luanhe Palace, the closer the Khitan people shouting killing in Khitan language.The faintly visible fire seemed to light up the dark night sky.From a distance, it looked as if the Luanhe Palace had already been breached by rebels and burned with fire.

Yang Huaiyu became excited when he saw the battlefield, and said, "Daddy, what are you waiting for, now is the best time!"

Yang Wenguang shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, there are still many enemies, and they are not tired yet."

Yang Huaiyu was stunned: "But if the rebel army is defeated, wouldn't we have to face the Hundred Thousand Palace Tent army alone!"

Wang Shao said with a smile: "If the rebel army is defeated, how can the palace tent army not take advantage of the victory to pursue it? At that time, the Luanhe Palace is empty of defenses, which is our best chance. If the rebel army wins, it will be even better It's done, we just need to charge out, the rebels are exhausted, how can they stop us?"

After hearing this, Yang Huaiyu remained silent and looked in the direction of the Luanhe Palace.At this moment, they are only one river away from the Luanhe Palace, and they can even see the fire in front of the palace clearly.

Since the real battlefield is in front of the Luanhe Palace, the defense behind the Luanhe Palace is the most empty.Even if there were, these Khitan people were also absent-minded, looking towards the front of the palace frequently, even the Fengsheng Prefecture frontier army who was so close at hand didn't notice it.

At this moment, in front of the Luanhe Palace, there is already chaos.Even though no one expected that Yelu Zhongyuan would make a comeback so quickly, and dare to resolutely attack the Luanhe Palace under the protection of the Ten Thousand Palace tent army.

The Khitans are not good at fighting at night, no matter how many they have, they will inevitably suffer losses.As the Privy Envoy of the Southern Academy, Yeluren tried his best to integrate the troops, but he could only gather some soldiers.But Yelu Hongji's trump card, the imperial cavalry, was surrounded by his own people, and there was no room for a charge.

Ever since, by accident, the rebel army led by Yelu Chongyuan was so powerful that they defeated the palace tent army steadily.Fell into the fear of darkness, many palace tent troops rushed to the place with fire.As a result, it was chaotic like driving sheep, and there was no formation at all.What's more, they ran in the wrong direction, crashed headlong into the rebels, were hacked by dozens of sabers, twisted their faces in pain, and died.The corpse fell on the pool of blood, and was run over by thousands of troops, and soon it was completely changed...

Yeluta also followed the flames to find Mr. Yeluren, and shouted loudly: "Father, go to the palace gate tower!"

Yeluren understood it first, and shouted loudly: "Okay, no tart, you open the way for me!"

"Father, come with me!" After saying that, Yelv Tabu also brandished his saber, knocked away the flying arrows, and rushed towards the gate of the Luanhe Palace.

At this time, Yelu Chongyuan, who was hiding among the rebel army, looked worried.Although they have the upper hand now, once they pass the time like this, they will still lose when the sun rises.For him, failing to capture Yelu Hongji was considered a failure.Not to mention that he had already lost his way of retreat. Yelu Nerugu was captured, and he fled to the desert.Since this is the case, it is better to fight to the death, maybe a miracle will appear...
