Chapter 45

The battle of Yingzhou City was a war that will be recorded in the annals of history for both the Zheng'an Dynasty and the Khitan. For the Zheng'an Dynasty, Yingzhou City was captured by the Khitans in half a month. The common people died tragically by the Khitan sword, which was the only time in the history of the Zheng'an Dynasty from before to after hundreds of years, which made the government and the people angry and the soldiers angry.

As for the Khitan, after they captured Yingzhou City, they occupied the city and gained a lot of money. They deliberately wanted to use this as a base to continue to move forward, but they were besieged by 4000 cavalry, and more than [-] Khitan soldiers all died in this battle. Among them, including those who abandoned their weapons and surrendered afterwards, all were killed, and none were left behind.

Both sides were hurt in this battle, but it is obvious that Zheng'an's condition is far better than that of Khitan. The Khitan suffered heavy losses because of this battle. They went away to the Gobi and failed to return for decades.

Of course, these are all things to say later, Ren Zhi, who was far above the battlefield, didn't know about all this, he just held his long sword and fought endlessly with the Khitans, as if he didn't feel tired.

A small group of Khitans was surrounded by thousands of cavalry from Zheng'an, already disheartened, they formed a circle to protect the leader.Ren Zhi was riding on a horse, holding a long sword in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword at the Khitans, his thin lips moved, and said softly, "Do it, leave no one behind."

The Khitan man understood Ren Zhi's words, clenched the scimitar in his hand, and protected the people in the middle even tighter, but the man stretched out his hand to push the people beside him away, looked at Ren Zhi seriously, and said with a jerk. He said in Chinese, "Why don't we talk about it? You can discuss whatever you want. As long as we leave alive, I can discuss with us and send someone to negotiate peace with you after I go back."

Ren Zhi shook his head slightly, and glanced back at Yingzhou City not far away, "When you attacked those unarmed people, did you ever think that you can discuss with us what you want? Peace talks? Now your My life is in my hands, why should I make peace with you? What are you?"

The man blushed and looked at Ren Zhi, and continued for a long time before continuing, "I am the younger brother of Da Khan, if you let me go back, my brother will be very grateful to you, and paying tribute to your Zheng'an Dynasty is nothing Down."

"If you want to pay tribute, you also want to see if I am rare?" Ren Zhi looked down at the long sword stained with blood in his hand, and said calmly, "Is the Khitan sweat? As long as I think, one day , I will also take the head of his neck."

This sentence completely angered the Khitan prince, he shouted loudly, waved the scimitar in his hand, pinched his horse's belly, and rushed towards Ren Zhi, just as Feng Yan was about to step forward behind Ren Zhi, Ren Zhi stretched out his hand and waved away, " The prince left this to me, you take the rest and don't hinder me."

Feng Yan took the order, and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward to separate the small group of Khitan people, leaving an open space for Ren Zhi and the Khitan prince. With a smile on the corner of Ren Zhi's lips, he said softly, "If you can take If I take my life, I will let them let you go back, if I take your life, you and the group of people under you will not be able to survive."

The Khitan prince clenched the scimitar, and attacked Ren Zhi without hesitation, Ren Zhi chuckled, leaned back, avoiding the blade, flipped his wrist, and the long sword came across, stabbing at his chest. Go, the prince held the knife in one hand and separated Ren Zhi's long sword, Ren Zhi suddenly jumped up from the horse's back, kicked the Khitan prince's jaw with both feet, and kicked him directly under the horse.

The soldiers around all applauded, let him land lightly, the long sword in his hand reached the throat of the Khitan prince, he said with a half-smile, "Do you want to try again?"

The Khitan prince was lying on the ground panting, and it took him a long time to say, "If you kill me, you will regret it."

The corners of Ren Zhi's eyes were raised, and he shook his head firmly, "I have never done anything to regret in my life." After speaking, he raised his wrist, and the long sword pierced straight into the chest of the Khitan prince, who tilted his head, Then there is no more breath.

Ren Zhi pulled out his long sword, glanced back at the Khitan soldiers who had been restrained by other soldiers, and said casually, "Let's kill them all, and leave no one behind."

As soon as the order was issued, the surrounding screams continued, and one after another the Khitan people had their necks cut, and fell to the ground one after another, without breathing.Ren Zhi closed his eyes wearily, then opened them again, suppressed the blood red in front of him abruptly, looked at Feng Yan and ordered, "Cut off the head of that Khitan prince, put it in a brocade box, and give it to me." Khitan Khan sent a big gift."

Feng Yan cupped his fists, "Obey."

Ren Zhi put the long sword back into its scabbard, walked up to Wu Zhi and gently touched its head, Wu Zhi arched his head in his arms, very obedient.Then Ren Zhi raised the corners of his lips slightly, turned around and ordered, "Order to go down and clean up the battlefield. As for the... people in the city, find a good place to bury them alive, and wash the Yingzhou City again." , I don’t want to see any bloodstains when I return to the city. Search the survivors in the city, give them food and clothing, let them save their lives first, and I will write a letter to His Majesty and the prefect of Jizhou for the rest.”

"This subordinate understands." Feng Yan glanced at Ren Zhi worriedly. The exhaustion in Ren Zhi's eyes made him feel a little worried, so he couldn't help but ask, "Does the lord want to rest now?"

Ren Zhi stretched out his hand to pull Wuzhi's rein, and shook his head, "I'll take Wuzhi to the river to wash, both of us are stained with too much blood, I can't sleep."

Feng Yan nodded, and stood still with the soldiers behind him, watching Ren Zhi, who was covered in blood, walking slowly away while holding Wu Zhi.

Ren Zhi led Wu Zhi all the way to the river, let go of the rein, and watched Wu Zhi rush into the knee-high river, running happily.Ren Zhi took off his helmet and threw it on the ground. He untied the Mingguang armor on his body, took it off and threw it together with the helmet, then took off his white jacket, and finally took off only a pair of trousers. He rolled up his trouser legs and walked to the river among.

Yingzhou City is to the north, and the water temperature in this season is a little bit cold. The rushing river washes over Ren Zhi's calf, but the cold touch makes Ren Zhi feel a little more comfortable. He bent down, splashed a handful of water on his face, Washing off the blood stained on his face, he lowered his head and glanced at the bright red on his palm, shook his head, then leaned over suddenly, and buried his whole head in the water.

Ru Mo's black hair was scattered by the river water, and the faint blood was washed away by the river water. He felt relieved, straightened up, reached out his hand to wipe the water stained on his face, walked to Wu Zhi's side, and stood up for it. bristles.

Wuzhi is a top-notch horse, only when he is by Ren Zhi's side will he become extra docile. Ren Zhi holds a horse brush and washes Wuzhi's hair little by little. The ground was all washed clean.

Washed himself and Wuzhi clean, let him lead Wuzhi back to the bank, leaned against the big rock on the bank to rest, Wuzhi lay beside him, buried his head to drink the flowing river water, let him stretch With a hand, he stretched out his hand to stroke Wuzhi's mane one after another, and closed his eyes unconsciously.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Wu Zhi suddenly neighed loudly, Ren Zhi opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Feng Yan walking towards him, he turned over and stood up, reached out and picked up the middle coat on the ground, and put it on his body, his hair still The ground was dripping water, he wiped it casually, and looked up at Feng Yan, "What's the matter?"

Feng Yan lowered his head, not daring to look up into Ren Zhi's eyes. After all, the disheveled young man with wet hair is a prince. "My lord, the city has almost been cleaned, so I'm here to call you back to the city."

Ren Zhi bent down and picked up all the armor from the ground, tied it to the horse's back with a rope, and nodded, "Okay, then go back to the city."

Feng Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, there is another small matter, I don't know if I should tell you."

"What's the matter, just say it."

"They picked up a baby in the city. Both parents were killed by Khitan people. He must have been hungry for several days. When they found him, he was almost out of breath. I don't know if we can save him or not," Feng Yan said.

Ren Zhi lowered his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Ask a military doctor to take a look at him and try to revive him."

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Feng Yan stepped forward to help Ren Zhi lead the horse, and the two walked towards Yingzhou City one after the other.Ren Zhi walked for a while, then suddenly stopped and looked at Feng Yan, "Is that baby a boy or a girl?"

"My lord, it's a girl." Feng Yan said softly.

The corners of Ren Zhi's lips raised, "Girl, if she can survive, she can be my daughter. She suffered from this at a young age, and I want to keep her safe and comfortable for the rest of her life."

Feng Yan was surprised at first, but he understood it at random, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Then my subordinate congratulates the prince for his daughter."

A smile appeared on Ren Zhi's lips, he waved his hands, and continued to walk forward, "What's the right name for a girl? Forget it, let His Majesty give her a name when I return to Beijing." After a pause, he smiled again, "I didn't expect that I would still have a chance to be a father in this life, I hope I can live up to this title."

Feng Yan replied with a smile, "Your Highness is still young, if you marry a concubine and have children in the future, there must be a lot of children and grandchildren."

Ren Zhi waved his hand, "I don't ask for a full house of children and grandchildren, I only ask for someone to come and see me when the old man can't walk, so that he can die in peace."

Feng Yan was stunned for a moment, and just about to speak to persuade Ren Zhi, Ren Zhi waved his hand, "Let's not talk, let's go, I want to see my daughter quickly."
