We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?
Chapter 470: Fighting in front of the battlefield!
Of course, it didn't matter if the general said a few more words, because Li Che no longer had any extra troops.
After the troops of Yang Xuan and He Conglong were transferred here, only the defensive troops and some auxiliary troops escorting food and fodder were left in the rear.
As for the Mohe tribes, Li Che only asked them to prepare for battle and had no intention of letting the Fengtian Army fight alongside them.
Sometimes, numbers don't just bring advantages.
When two friendly forces that do not understand or even trust each other work together, their combat effectiveness will plummet.
The Fengtian Army had stopped, but the Khitan army was still advancing slowly.
Six miles, five miles, four miles...
The Khitan army stopped when it was about three miles away from the Fengtian army.
In ancient times, when two armies fought against each other, they would not stop at such a distance.
Infantry charge and close combat require a distance of at least 30 to 100 meters.
For bow and crossbow shooting and long-range confrontation, the distance must be 100 to 200 meters.
Even the cavalry charge, which the Khitan army was best at, usually required an acceleration distance of 200 to 300 meters to achieve the impact effect.
However, everything changed after the Fengtian Army acquired artillery.
Seeing that the other party was taking a long time to get into the range of the artillery, Li Che couldn't help but purse his lips, feeling a little disappointed.
But soon, he saw the other side sending out a cavalryman holding a wolf flag.
Li Che waved his hand, signaling the archers not to shoot and let the man come over.
The Khitan cavalryman arrived in front of the Fengtian army and was quite courageous. He said with full vigor, "Is His Royal Highness Prince Feng here?"
However, the Fengtian Army soldiers separated into two sides in unison, and a young prince rode out on horseback, followed by two tigers, followed by a team of personal guards and several generals.
The Khitan cavalryman stared at him with wide eyes, and after a while he came to his senses and saluted with his chest: "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince of Feng."
Li Che narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to block the sunlight: "Yelü Dahe, do you have anything to say?"
"That's right." The Khitan cavalryman lowered his hand. "The Khan asks Your Highness, do you dare to fight a general in battle?"
"Fighting General?"
Li Che smiled and then asked, "I will definitely win this battle, so why should I fight him in front of the battlefield?"
The Khitan cavalryman frowned and asked, "Your Highness, are you afraid?"
As soon as these words came out——
"Bold!" Qu Jinshan shouted.
"How dare you be so rude?!" Wang Sanchun's ugly face was full of anger.
"Arrogant!" Xue Zhen was furious.
"Fart your mother, you put your mother's rotten crotch in your mouth? Your breath smells so fishy?" Li Lin spoke even more eloquently.
No matter how the generals scolded, the Khitan cavalry remained indifferent and just stared at Li Che.
Li Che smiled, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, and the generals' scolding suddenly stopped.
"Go back and tell Yelu Dahe that if he wants to fight, I will accompany him!" Li Che chuckled, "Let him send someone to challenge us!"
The Khitan cavalry nodded and rode back.
Li Lin spat on the ground, then looked at Li Che: "Why bother playing tricks with them? Just charge straight ahead."
Li Che shook his head: "He has more soldiers and it is more difficult to deploy the formation. He is just buying time."
"Then you still promise him?"
"Because I need time too." Li Che narrowed his eyes and pointed to the sky: "The sun is facing our army right now. In another half an hour, it will be overhead."
Li Lin looked up and felt a flash of light, then was stunned.
"Hiss... Awesome, Lao Liu!"
"It's just a small trick."
bang bang bang-
At this moment, the enemy army's war drums started beating.
But then a rider came galloping out from the enemy camp. He must be the Khitan general who came to fight.
The two sides were too far apart, and Li Che couldn't see the other party's strength clearly. He could only barely see a blurry figure.
He turned around and looked at the generals, and asked, "Who will kill this official for me?"
The generals were excited and were about to ask for battle when they heard a hearty laugh from Li Che's side: "I am itching to fight, Lao Liu, please don't stop me."
Li Che was shocked and was about to speak to persuade him, but he saw that Li Che had already ridden out on his horse with the spear in his hand and his back behind him.
"This guy will definitely report you to my sister-in-law!" Li Che cursed, then shouted behind him, "Beat the drums, cheer!"
bang bang bang-
In the Khitan army, just like in the Fengtian army, the two armies were too far apart to see the situation of the fighting generals clearly.
But the one who had just been sent out was the strongest warrior of a Khitan tribe, a pure fighting general who specialized in duels, and his bravery was ranked among the best in the entire Khitan army.
What's more, the Fengtian Army generals may be good at military tactics and command, but the Fengtian people came from the interior and were definitely not as strong as the Khitans.
Yelu Daha and the Khitan generals all had confidence in fighting the general.
Ping Pong Pong --
The sound of weapons clashing was heard, and it turned out that two generals were fighting.
The drums were beaten countless times, and the two generals fought for more than ten rounds. Suddenly, there was silence on the Khitan side, and the cheers stopped abruptly.
A moment later, waves of cheers came from the enemy's army.
The expressions of the Khitan generals suddenly changed, and Yelu Daha also frowned.
Soon, a scout from the front of the battle array reported back:
"Report——"
"General Shi Mo was defeated and died!"
The generals were suddenly shocked.
Someone quickly asked, "How could they possibly lose? A mere Feng people, do they have brave generals skilled in fighting?"
The scout immediately replied, "The enemy commander was a young general wielding a spear. Initially, General Shi Mo had the upper hand, and the general could only defend himself, unable to fight back."
"But after fighting for more than ten rounds, the young general feigned defeat and rode back. General Shi Mo was eager to pursue the enemy, so he just kept on riding in pursuit. However, he didn't expect the young general to pull out a flying knife from his arms, turned around and shot it, hitting General Shi Mo right in the face..."
The generals were immediately filled with anger.
"This General Feng is so shameless! How could he use hidden weapons like flying knives in a fair and square fight?"
"Damn it, Fengren is really despicable!"
"Great Khan, let me go to battle and avenge General Shi Mo!"
"This official should be killed!"
Yelu Daha frowned, feeling a little hesitant.
He originally wanted to use the fight to kill several Fengtian Army generals to boost the morale of the Khitan army.
But I didn't expect to lose in the first round.
He began to hesitate whether to continue fighting.
However, before he could say anything, the sound of war drums started again.
All the generals looked towards the front, not knowing what was happening.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard again: "Report——"
Yelu Dahe immediately asked, "Who went to the battle?"
"It was General Xiao who was supporting General Shi Mo. He said he wanted to avenge General Shi Mo!"
Yelu Dahe angrily asked, "Who allowed him to go out on his own?"
The scout looked embarrassed. "But...but suddenly an ugly-looking general rushed out from the other side and cursed us in front of the battle line."
"What if I curse you? How can I disobey military orders?"
"But that person's curse was too harsh..."
