We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

When Yang Xuan led 800 cavalrymen to attack the enemy camp at night, he also used grenades to deal with the Pi Shi army, but with little effect.

That's because the explosive power of a grenade is not that great, and the damage is mainly caused by flying iron pieces.

The landmines that the Pi Shi Army was facing at this moment were known as the "nightmare of the infantry."

The target of the explosion was not the fully armed knight, but the weak belly and legs of the warhorse.

As the explosion sounded, flames instantly enveloped the Pi Shi army.

The horses' legs were blown off, their bellies were ripped open, and they fell to the ground one after another.

The warhorse let out a shrill neigh and fell to the ground in pain. Blood gushed out from its broken leg, staining the surrounding land red.

The cavalrymen were shaken to pieces by the sudden explosion. Some were thrown off their horses, while others held on to the reins tightly, trying to control their injured horses.

But everything was in vain. The pain and fear of the war horses made them unable to obey their masters' commands, resulting in more and more Pi Shi soldiers falling off their horses.

Without the protection of the horses, the impact of the explosion would be fatal.

One after another, the Pi Shi soldiers fell, their armor was torn and their limbs were thrown high into the air.

And the explosions haven't stopped yet.

The mines under his feet had exploded, but the Ninggu soldiers who appeared on both sides at some point in time continued to throw more grenades.

Iron and blood, fire and sword, cooking up a pot of blood and flesh broth here!

After three minutes of heavy bombardment, Huo Duanxiao finally raised the command flag in his hand.

The soldiers stopped throwing and watched the smoke in front of them dissipate little by little, revealing corpses on the ground.

vomit--

A Ninggu soldier couldn't help vomiting after seeing the tragic scene behind the smoke.

The ground was littered with broken limbs and arms, blood and dirt mixed together, dyeing the ground black and red.

This moment is hell!

Li Che also looked reluctant.

Seeing this, Huo Duanxiao, who was standing by, advised, "Your Highness, don't blame yourself. Dying on the battlefield is a soldier's duty."

Li Che shook his head and said sadly: "My armor, my vest! It's blown up like this, is it still usable?!"

Huo Duanxiao: ...

Well, His Highness is a man of strong will, he will not be soft-hearted and be worried about such a situation.

However, the power of this landmine shocked Huo Duanxiao so much that even his worldview became unstable.

It can even blow armor into pieces. What kind of power is this?

At the same time, Huo Duanxiao was also a little worried.

Your Highness is only a vassal prince, yet he holds such a sacred weapon, and it is unknown whether this is good or bad.

Suddenly, a figure stood up unsteadily from the pile of corpses.

Li Che looked carefully and found that a member of the Pi Shi Army had luckily survived and even had the energy to pick up the weapon that fell on the ground.

Then more and more survivors stood up one after another, as many as a hundred people.

Although they had different standpoints, Li Che couldn't help but praise: "As expected of the Pishi Army, their physical fitness and fighting spirit are first-class."

Seeing that the hundred people in front of him had begun to form a square formation and continued to charge towards the center of the formation, Li Che sighed and waved his hand.

Below the platform, the Royal Guards slowly stepped forward and threw away their swords and guns.

A soldier nearby came up and handed them a strange weapon with an odd shape.

It was a long stick made of mixed iron with a melon-shaped head on top.

Guduo, also known as golden melon, is a striking weapon.

This thing is not a conventional standard weapon. It has gradually been used as a ceremonial weapon, but it is very effective when facing heavy armor.

It doesn't kill by weapons, but by gravity. No matter how thick your armor is, one bone from it will smash your brain evenly.

The iron smelting workshop in Chaoyang City had excess production, so Li Che ordered people to make a batch to deal with enemies wearing heavy armor. Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this moment.

More than 200 people from the Royal Guard Battalion, wearing heavy armor and holding bone clubs, rushed forward.

When encountering the Pi Shi army, raising the Gu Duo is like using a heavy hammer.

The blunt force penetrated the armor and directly impacted the human body, cracking the opponent's skull and causing bleeding.

The Pi Shi army dismounted, wearing heavy armor and seriously injured, making it difficult for them to move. They were just moving iron cans and had no ability to fight back.

In less than half an incense stick of time, the surviving Pi Shi soldiers were hammered to death one by one on the spot.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Khalhan's eyes were bloodshot. He drew the sword at his waist and was ready to rush forward to fight.

A total of one thousand Pi Shi soldiers died here. As the commander, there was no reason for him to survive.

The entire Liao Kingdom had only 5,000 armored cavalry, and one-fifth of them were killed by him.

"How can I face the Khan again? I'd rather die here!"

Fortunately, a personal soldier held him tightly and persuaded him, "Commander, please don't do that. The people of Qing have a saying: As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"

Another personal guard tightly grasped his sword and said, "Commander, there are still 20,000 troops under the city of Xiangping. You must take them back!"

After hearing the words of the two personal soldiers, Halehan calmed down.

He is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of punishment.

As a close confidant of the Khan, he only hopes to assist the Khan in achieving great things and make the Liao Kingdom great again.

But these 100,000 troops were almost all the forces that the Khitan could mobilize. The remaining troops had to be stationed on the border to defend against the Shiwei people in the north.

If the remaining 20,000 people were not brought back, the Khan would not even have an army to mobilize.

"Okay! Retreat, let's retreat!"

Khalhan looked around and saw that the Khitan cavalry was surrounded and had been divided into small pieces by the Fengtian Army.

There were only about two thousand cavalrymen still following him.

The good news is that because the Khitan cavalry was slaughtered unilaterally, the road behind was no longer crowded and instead became a way of survival.

With the last two thousand cavalrymen, Khalhan fought his way out.

Along the way, the wailing of the Khitan soldiers that kept coming to his ears was like the sound of a devil, making Khal Khan heartbroken.

Those devilish Qing people used all kinds of weapons to pull the Khitan warriors off their horses, killing them.

He even saw an exaggeratedly large tiger jumping around in the army, occasionally leaping onto a horse's back and biting off the neck of a Khitan cavalryman.

Devil! Rakshasa!

This King Feng is simply a devil. Not only can he summon thunder from the sky, he even has tigers helping him in his army!

At this moment, Khalhan hated the leader of the small Khitan tribe who had provoked Li Che.

Damn idiot, what a terrifying enemy he brought to Khitan!

Although the road to escape was full of difficulties, Halehan, as the commander of the Pi Shi Army and an extraordinary martial arts master, managed to fight his way out.

Just as they were about to reach the mountain pass, an army suddenly appeared from the side. The leader was a burly general with muscular build. "Wang Sanchun is here, don't run!"

Halehan remained silent, took up his sword and walked forward to fight with the general.

After fighting for more than ten rounds, Wang Sanchun only felt that his opponent was very strong, while he himself became increasingly weak.

He thought to himself: "I, Wang Sanchun, have a good prince and a promising future. There is no need to exchange my life for a barbarian from outside the Great Wall."

With this in mind, his style of play gradually shifted from offense to defense and became more stable.

Seeing that his opponent's strength was weakening, Halehan immediately made a feint with his sword.

Wang Sanchun dodged quickly, and taking this opportunity, Halehan rode away.

Seeing the other party's figure disappear in the narrow pass, Wang Sanchun was not annoyed, and slowly lowered his sword under the horse.

"General, shouldn't we chase them?" asked a personal soldier beside him.

"What are you chasing? You don't even have horses, how can you catch up with the cavalry?" Wang Sanchun said unhappily.

The personal soldier said naively, "Don't you have a horse?"

Wang Sanchun was so angry that he almost laughed. He rushed over and slapped him in the neck: "You little idiot, are you looking for death by chasing after me alone?"

"Let's go, let's go. There are still so many barbarians in the valley, let's kill a few more to get more merit!"

After escaping from Wang Sanchun's sword, Halehan headed north without any obstruction and finally successfully escaped from the mountain pass.

Looking back, he saw that there were only about a thousand riders left around him, and all of them were injured and looked extremely miserable.

Halehan regretted it very much. He had brought nearly 40,000 people to encircle and suppress the Fengtian Army, but now there are only 1,000 left.

He could only gather the remaining troops and move closer to Xiangping City.

However, as he walked, Hallahan found something wrong.

It would be bad enough if there were fleeing soldiers behind us, but why were there more and more fleeing soldiers coming towards us?

At this moment, a small leader of the Khitan army suddenly appeared in front of him. He dismounted his horse and crawled to the front of Hale Khan, crying, "Commander, you are finally here."

"What's going on? Tell me quickly!

"The Pijie tribe... was defeated!"

Khalkhain was shocked and anxious: "Didn't I tell you to just surround the city? How could you be defeated?"

The small leader was terrified: "After you led the troops away, the gates of Xiangping City suddenly opened. It seemed that the Fengtian Army wanted to take the opportunity to send troops to rescue the general.

Our leader was eager to make a contribution, so he immediately sent people to attack the city gate. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the city, shouts of killing suddenly rang out all around.

Then there was a deafening sound, like thunder rolling in the sky, which blew our troops to the ground and caused huge losses.

Taking advantage of our army's panic, the Fengtian army rushed out of the city, and their leader was beheaded by a general wearing a ghost mask. Our army was defeated!"

"How could this happen?!"

Halehan felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife, as if a red-hot iron had pierced his chest and was rolling back and forth in his abdomen.

The personal guards beside him saw that his face was pale, sweat was pouring down his face, his hands and feet were stiff, and he let out a scream and fell off his horse.

"Commander! Commander!"

A group of personal guards quickly dismounted and helped Khalhan up.

Fortunately, Halehan was just angry and fainted after the fight just now.

Halehan woke up slowly, his mouth opening and closing, and he said something in a very low voice.

The guards leaned forward quickly and heard Hallehan mutter:

"Retreat! Retreat north!"

"Alas! Heaven has doomed the Liao!"

The personal guards did not dare to delay and hurriedly helped Khal Khan onto his horse, and then retreated to the northern Khitan territory with the remaining troops.

From then on, the first battle between Feng State and Khitan ended.

According to subsequent statistics, both sides sent a total of 170,000 troops in this battle, with Khitan sending 130,000 troops and Fengtian Army sending 40,000 troops.

It was the largest battle since the founding of Daqing.

Since the National Protection Army launched a surprise attack on Xiangping City, the Fengtian Army fought for ten days and finally won the final victory with fewer troops.
