Chapter 305: Emperor Tianzuo who sets a flag

After galloping for dozens of miles, the temporarily escaped Emperor Tianzuo and his party finally took a break by a small river.

The knights dismounted one after another, giving water and fine feed to the warhorses that were sweating profusely,

as if they had been fished out of a water pool, and were panting heavily.

Emperor Tianzuo no longer had the posture of a Great Liao Emperor, and slumped on a piece of felt.

"Your Majesty, drink some mare's milk wine to moisten your throat."

Xiao Fengxian offered a bag of mare's milk wine fawningly.

"Gulp, gulp."

Yelu Yanxi, who had long been thirsty, took the sheepskin bag,

brought it to his mouth, and drank it all in three or two gulps.

After a bag of mare's milk wine went down, his chest and abdomen, which felt like they were burning with fire, felt a little more comfortable.

"Haha, haha!"

Suddenly, he began to laugh wildly.

"Your Majesty, why are you laughing?"

Xiao Wuna, who was guarding his side, asked in confusion.

'Could it be that the blow was too big, and the Majesty has already gone crazy?'

Xiao Fengxian thought somewhat presumptuously.

Hundreds of thousands of troops lost in one morning, such a blow, I fear anyone would not be able to bear it.

They, this Emperor Tianzuo, although he was fond of great achievements and arbitrary,

could still be considered to be in the ranks of normal people, at most a bit muddled.

"I laugh at the Gan Emperor for lacking wisdom, and the Gan army for lacking talent; if they had ambushed an army nearby,

wouldn't I, this Great Liao Emperor, be a turtle in a jar?"

Yelu Yanxi explained the reason for his laughter with self-satisfaction.

"There is no ruler as wise and virtuous as Your Majesty."

Although Xiao Fengxian didn't think there was anything funny about being beaten into a mess,

and only being able to flee in embarrassment, he still habitually offered flattery.

"This..."

Only Prime Minister Xiao Wuna, listening to Yelu Yanxi's explanation, inexplicably felt a few traces of bad feeling in his heart.

Such words, it seems someone has said them before!

Well, a certain Cao Prime Minister during the Three Kingdoms period who was unwilling to reveal his name also set such a flag after the Battle of Red Cliffs.

"Great Gan Five Military Governor's Office Vanguard Great General Lin Chong has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Suddenly, a roar entered the ears of Emperor Tianzuo and the others.

They subconsciously raised their heads and looked in that direction.

Then, thousands of Great Gan cavalry, fully armed and equipped, came into their view.

The leader was none other than Lin Chong, the founder of the Great Gan cavalry and one of the giants of the Great Gan military.

Lin Chong, as the commander of the Great Gan cavalry, didn't go to command the fighting, but instead came here to ambush,

if it wasn't aimed at Emperor Tianzuo, who else could it be aimed at? "Kill!"

Lin Chong didn't talk nonsense, riding his horse and holding his spear, he was the first to kill Emperor Tianzuo.

"Protect the Majesty!"

"Stop them!"

Those who could be accepted as personal guards by Emperor Tianzuo were naturally loyal people,

at this time, seeing Lin Chong coming menacingly, one by one they hurriedly put on their armor, wanting to stop him.

But they were first beaten stupid by the Great Gan's head-on blow,

fled in panic, and galloped for dozens of miles, their fighting spirit was not released,

and their strength was greatly damaged, how could they be the opponents of the Great Gan cavalry who were waiting for work with ease?

Lin Chong was the first to charge, leaping on his horse and holding his spear, going the deepest,

and the Liao soldiers blocking in front of him were all knocked off their horses by his spear.

"Your Majesty, quickly mount your horse and retreat."

Seeing Lin Chong killing his way quickly, Xiao Wuna hurriedly ordered someone to lead Emperor Tianzuo's imperial horse.

Yelu Yanxi also couldn't care about anything, hurriedly turned over and mounted the horse,

and fled hurriedly with dozens of cavalry who reacted quickly.

As for the others, they could only be left behind to cover the retreat.

"Want to run?"

Lin Chong, who was looking from afar, saw Emperor Tianzuo fleeing, and left the deputy general to encircle and suppress other Liao troops,

and he himself also took dozens of personal guards to chase Emperor Tianzuo directly:

"Old thief Tianzuo, don't run!"

Facing such a madman who dared to insult himself, the supreme Great Liao Emperor,

Yelu Yanxi would usually have to give him a crime of beheading,

and it was not impossible to send a family reunion gift package of nine-clan elimination.

But now his heart had no thoughts, he just wanted to run as fast as possible, as far as possible,

it would be best if he never met these Gan army soldiers who seemed to have crawled out of hell in this life.

"Drive, drive, drive!"

The precious horse that he used to cherish like his eyeballs was whipped fiercely by him,

even if it was whipped with streaks of blood, he didn't feel any pity.

"Oh!"

Lin Chong, because his horse was not as good as the other's, could only watch Emperor Tianzuo's figure move away bit by bit.

"Remove armor!"

The next moment, he made a decision and threw away the armor on his body. 【30

"Shed your armor, shed your armor!"

The other Great Gan soldiers also shed their armor one by one.

This was the best opportunity to capture Emperor Tianzuo alive.

If they missed this once-in-a-millennium chance, they would regret it to death later!

As long as they captured Emperor Tianzuo alive today, even if they died in battle, their names would be recorded in the annals of history!

It would truly be worth it, even if they died!

Without the burden of armor weighing dozens of jin, the speed of the horses increased in a straight line,

carrying Lin Chong and his party as they pursued Emperor Tianzuo.

"Damn it!"

Looking back at Lin Chong and the others, who were closing in at a speed visible to the naked eye,

Emperor Tianzuo, who had thought he was about to escape, cursed loudly.

"Shed your armor, shed it all!"

The only plan now was to learn from the Gan army and shed their armor to reduce the load on their warhorses.

What, you say you want to rely on the protection of your armor to turn around and kill the pursuers?

Not to mention that this group of routed soldiers had long since lost their will to fight,

are you so sure that Lin Chong's unit is the only one pursuing from behind?

It would be laughable if they got bogged down in a fierce battle here, only to have their retreat cut off and be surrounded by other pursuers.

"Throw them away, throw away all other secondary weapons, dry rations, and the like.

Keep only one long weapon and one horse spear!" Lin Chong ordered again.

Faced with Lin Chong, who was biting at their heels, Emperor Tianzuo also gritted his teeth:

"Throw them, we'll throw them too!"

Just like that, as they threw things away along the way, the two groups of men were practically ready to fight shirtless.

"Your Majesty, this won't do! We'll be hunted down!"

After fleeing for several more li, Xiao Fengxian squeezed to Emperor Tianzuo's side and said loudly.

"If Minister Xiao has any strategy, please speak quickly!"

Yelu Yanxi, who was already at his wit's end, ordered without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the only plan now is to have someone impersonate you to lure the pursuers away."

Xiao Fengxian did not beat around the bush and quickly stated the idea in his heart.

He continued: "Your Majesty, I and my family have repeatedly received great favors from you; that we have today is entirely due to your promotion.

I have no way to repay you and am willing to impersonate you to lure the pursuers away for you!"

"Minister Xiao!"

Yelu Yanxi was filled with emotion upon hearing this.

What was that saying about how strong grass is known in a gale, and loyal ministers are recognized in times of chaos?

This was exactly that!

Even Xiao Wuna, who had never gotten along with Xiao Fengxian—a sycophant who relied on the Imperial Consort to rise to power—could not help but look sideways.

Could it be that he had misjudged this Prince of Lanling in the past?

Although he was corrupt, sold offices, exploited the common people, and repeatedly deceived the Emperor,

was he actually a loyal minister who could die for the Emperor?

"Your Majesty, there is no time!"

Seeing that Yelu Yanxi had fallen into his habit of indecision again, Xiao Fengxian urged him anxiously.

Yelu Yanxi took off his dragon robe in a flurry and put it on Xiao Fengxian.

"Minister, take care!"

Xiao Fengxian bowed solemnly to Emperor Tianzuo, then led the main force of the cavalry and galloped in another direction.
