Chapter 373 I'm serious about my mentality

Seeing Empress Xiao giving up struggling, Lin Hao certainly wouldn't be polite and pushed her directly onto the bed.

Then Lin Hao pounced on her and tore off Empress Xiao's clothes. When Empress Xiao's clothes were in disarray, Lin Hao discovered that there was something wrong with her.

At this moment, she didn't react at all. She just stared at Lin Hao with cold eyes and let Lin Hao torment her.

Seeing that Lin Hao did not take the next step, Empress Xiao said without any emotion:

"Why aren't you moving? Don't you want to sleep with me? You succeeded, keep going!"

Empress Xiao's chilling words made Lin Hao pause. He suddenly felt very bored because he didn't even enjoy the happiness of a winner!

Although this woman was the empress of the empire, she was deeply influenced by Han culture. She also advised Yelu Hongji not to shoot the "sheep", and her nature was not bad.

If she was a very bad or unscrupulous person, then Lin Hao could do it without restraint, but she was not, which made Lin Hao a little embarrassed.

Moreover, Empress Xiao was a woman with a strong personality and charm, very attractive.

At the same time, Lin Hao has no shortage of women. Having experienced so many worlds, he has seen all kinds of women.

Besides, he has long passed the stage where he would just go for the pretty woman without caring about anything when seeing her.

Simple mating is actually a very boring thing. Only by using emotions as a lubricant can you experience the ultimate pleasure!

A woman who likes you and a woman who is just perfunctory with you are two completely different experiences when you have in-depth communication!
However, Lin Hao is neither a modest gentleman nor a moral saint. He will certainly not give up easily on the woman he wants.

Although this woman's future fate will be miserable, that is a matter for the future. Now the relationship between her and Yelu Hongji has not completely broken down.

At least I wouldn't tell her how Yelu Hongji treated her ten years later!

And what would Lin Hao do? Of course he would destroy the relationship between the couple!

Lin Hao pinched Empress Xiao's chin, then slowly moved his lips closer to her. Seeing that she was still staring at him blankly, Lin Hao smiled faintly and said:
"To be honest, I'm starting to like you a little bit!"

Empress Xiao looked at Lin Hao suspiciously and asked:

"What else do you want?"

Seeing Empress Xiao's distrustful look, Lin Hao let her go and said confidently:

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you or your child, but I always believe that there will be a day when you will accept me!"

"Don't think about it!"

Lin Hao ignored Empress Xiao and left the palace. When he reached the door, he said:
"Take good care of Empress Xiao, but don't allow her to leave this room!"

"Yes!" the soldier guarding outside the door responded immediately.

Afterwards, Lin Hao did not go to see Empress Xiao again. Instead, he divided his army into several groups, captured nearby cities and tribes, and concentrated on collecting his own spoils.

After half a month of looting, tens of thousands of Han cavalry were recruited to join Lin Hao, and Lin Hao's total force reached 200,000.

At the same time, he also amassed a large amount of gold, silver and treasures. To be honest, looking at the mountains of treasures, Lin Hao had no way to calculate them.

Or maybe you are too lazy to count and just put them all into the space equipment. It won’t be too late to clean them up slowly when you return to Bian Jing in the future.

In addition, they collected 600,000 cattle and sheep and 200,000 horses, including nearly 100,000 war horses.

Afterwards, Lin Hao led an army of 200,000 south and headed straight for Nanjing Xijin Prefecture (Beijing), 300 kilometers away.

At the same time, Yelu Hongji, who had suffered a bloody nose in Dading Prefecture, looked at Dading Prefecture anxiously. At this time, he had already thought of retreating.

After all, the battle for Dading Prefecture lasted for nearly a month, resulting in heavy casualties and a sharp drop in morale.

After thinking about it, he realized that there was no need to stick to Dading Prefecture. It would be better to try other smaller cities, or take a detour to attack the cities behind the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, a messenger rushed over:

"Your Majesty, urgent news, 800 miles away, Zhongjing Prefecture has been captured by the Ming army, please make a decision, Your Majesty!"

"What?" Yelu Hongji, who was already uneasy, grabbed the messenger and shouted in disbelief:
"What's going on? Aren't the Ming troops active in Shuozhou and Yunzhou? How come they suddenly came to Zhongjing Prefecture and even captured our capital?"

The messenger wanted to speak, but Yelu Hongji grabbed his neck. He did not dare to block his hand and could only wave his hands in the air.

Only then did Yelu Hongji react, and then released the messenger and asked:
"Say, what's going on?"

The messenger immediately said, "Three days ago, the Ming army came from Chifeng in the north and attacked Zhongjing Prefecture. At that time, our city was completely defenseless..."

After hearing the messenger's explanation of the whole incident, Yelu Hongji immediately reacted and muttered:

"From the north, from the north!"

As he spoke, Yelu Hongji ran to the map and looked at it carefully. Finally, he focused his attention on the vicinity of Jiuyuan, which was the original location of Western Xia, and then headed northwest.

“So that’s how it is~!” Yelu Hongji took a deep breath and finally understood how Lin Hao got here: “He actually took a detour of more than 2,000 miles~!”

"So what will be the next move of the Ming army?" Yelu Hongji looked towards Xijin Prefecture (Beijing), then his mind shuddered and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

So he immediately asked the messenger:

"Wait, what's the situation in Zhongjing Prefecture? How are my queen and crown prince?"

The messenger immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and when Yelu Hongji saw that the messenger didn't say anything, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Thinking of his queen and prince, Yelu Hongji almost went crazy.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and immediately shouted:

"Gather the troops immediately and return to Xijin Prefecture (Beiping) to prepare for battle..."

After a series of arrangements by Yelu Hongji, he immediately led his men back to Xijin Prefecture (Beiping) from Zhending Prefecture.

At the same time, he sent people to notify Xijing Yunzhong Prefecture (Datong) to send troops for support. Of course, he did not forget to send a small group of cavalry to the north to gather intelligence!
Just when Lin Hao was about to set out, Yelu Hongji discovered that Lin Hao not only did not take advantage of the Liao Kingdom's lack of military strength to attack Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture in the north, but also did not attack Dongjing Liaoyang Prefecture in the east.

He even gave up the Zhongjing Dading Prefecture that he had already captured and marched south with hundreds of thousands of troops.

Then Yelu Hongji's eyes lit up. The Ming army had traveled a long distance and taken a detour of more than 2,000 miles. He expected that the Ming army would have difficulty in supplying, so he sent 50,000 cavalry to cut off the Ming army's food supply.

However, Yelu Hongji was destined to be disappointed, because the Ming army's supplies were not the usual supplies, but were carried by Lin Hao. ······
When Lin Hao's army arrived outside Xijin Prefecture (Beiping), they found that the city was already prepared. Lin Hao knew, of course, that Yelu Hongji had been waiting there for a long time.

However, he did not bring his special forces to fight Lin Hao in the field, but instead guarded the city wall, waiting for Lin Hao to attack.

After all, when he attacked Zhending Prefecture before, he was deeply impressed by the power of firearms. If Lin Hao carried such weapons when fighting against the Ming army, he might suffer losses.

It would be better to attract Lin Hao to attack the city. After all, they still have catapults and crossbows, so they still have certain advantages in defending the city, and those infantry can just be used!
Of course, Yelu Hongji did not put all his hopes on the siege.

His 100,000 cavalrymen and 100,000 reinforcements sent by Xijing Yunzhong Prefecture (Datong) had already been lurking in place, waiting to trap Lin Hao's Ming army.

When Lin Hao led his army and stationed four miles away from the city wall, Lin Hao, Empress Xiao and Crown Prince Yelu Jun stood one thousand five hundred steps away from the city wall.

Then Lin Hao sent an envoy to the city gate and shouted:
"My great Ming Emperor invites the King of Liao to have a chat on the battlefield and reunite with your princess and prince. Does the King of Liao dare to leave the city?"

At this time, on the city gate, Yelu Hongji looked at Lin Hao with a grudge. His queen and prince were beside Lin Hao. Then he gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"Why don't you dare!"

Having said that, he ignored Yelu Yixin's dissuasion. Of course, this guy didn't really give any sincere advice.

When he was about 20 to 30 meters away from Lin Hao, Yelu Hongji stopped cautiously and said angrily:

"You are so despicable and shameless that you kidnapped my queen and prince here. You are not worthy of being the king of a country!"

At this time, Lin Hao pointed at Yelu Hongji, and then said to Empress Xiao beside him:

"Look, doesn't he look like a cowardly, incompetent, and courageless gangster?"

At this time, Yelu Hongji immediately refuted Lin Hao's words:

"Bullshit, you are the cowardly bandit, if you have the guts, release my prince!"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when Yelu Hongji asked Lin Hao to release the people, he seemed not to see his queen and only asked Lin Hao to release the prince.

At this moment, Lin Hao had a mysterious smile on his face. This illusion skill was really useful. It made people ignore certain things around them.

"Hahahahaha~!"

What responded to Yelu Hongji was a series of ridicules from Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was of course happy, because Yelu Hongji's words did not mention Empress Dowager Xiao who was standing next to him. Upon hearing his words, Empress Xiao's face turned pale, and she was in a weak state, and her body was shaky.

So Lin Hao was very, very, very kind, and he stepped forward to support Empress Dowager Xiao's body, behaving in a very intimate manner.

At this moment, Yelu Hongji suddenly discovered that Lin Hao was actually hugging the queen's waist, and his queen did not resist at all.

As if he was used to Lin Hao's intimacy, when he saw this scene, Yelu Hongji's eyes suddenly became sparkling and he was burning with anger.

Yelu Hongji suddenly felt that he was cuckolded, became a minotaur, and owned the green grassland!
In a trance, it seemed as if he saw his own queen, who was captured by Lin Hao and was entangled with and played with by Lin Hao in all kinds of ways. Yangzhou was suddenly furious.

Then Yelu Hongji shouted angrily: "Assholes, wait and see how I will send you two, a pair of dogs and a couple, to the west!"

As he said that, he raised his bow and shot at Lin Hao and the others!
At this time, Empress Xiao had not yet come to her senses, so Lin Hao hugged her and hid to the side. Although he knew that the target was not him or her, Lin Hao did so on purpose.

Then the corners of Lin Hao's mouth curled up slightly. When the two armies were fighting, he was serious about controlling the mentality. Can a commander with boiling blood still command the army to fight calmly?

What's more, it can also let Empress Xiao recognize his true face, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!

Sure enough, when Empress Xiao heard what Yelu Hongji said, she suddenly became a little flustered!

"I didn't~!" When Empress Xiao wanted to explain something, before she could finish her words, an arrow came towards her.

"Puchi~!" As expected, he is a master at shooting "sheep" for a long time, and every bullet hits the target!
However, Yelu Hongji, who was always accurate in his shots, saw that it was his own prince who fell down, and that Empress Xiao was still in Lin Hao's arms.

"Ah~~~~!" Yelu Hongji let out a wild beast-like howl.

The bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground. He looked at the scene in disbelief. He was clearly intending to shoot that couple, but how could he have hit his own son?
"Why? Why did this happen?" When Empress Xiao saw her son fall down, she looked at Yelu Jun's body and immediately fainted!
Lin Hao glanced at Yelu Hongji with disdain and said in a mocking tone:
"I didn't expect that you, Yelu Hongji, as the ruler of a country, would be so despicable as to launch a sneak attack in front of the two armies and in full view of everyone."

"I am ashamed to be associated with you!" Lin Hao said as he hugged Empress Xiao and turned around to go back to the main camp.

At this time, Yelu Hongji, who had been staring at his son's body in a daze, came to his senses. Seeing that Lin Hao was still holding his queen, he immediately returned to the city with his son's body in anger, ready to fight Lin Hao to the death.

After Lin Hao returned to the camp, he sent Empress Xiao into the tent, and then took Empress Xiao's daughter with him to take care of her, to prevent her from committing suicide!

Afterwards, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom became strangely peaceful.

Because Lin Hao did not send anyone to attack the city, and the soldiers in the camp were doing their jobs at a leisurely pace, giving people the feeling that they were on a picnic!
Lin Hao's unconventional fighting style immediately confused the Liao army. After three days of confrontation, the Liao army finally lost their patience.

Originally, they wanted to wait until Lin Hao sent troops to attack the city wall, and then let the two armies that were ambushing Lin Hao surround and defeat Lin Hao's army in one fell swoop.

But they couldn't stay here with Lin Hao forever, so Yelu Hongji secretly sent people to contact the two armies that were ambushing Lin Hao, preparing to attack Lin Hao at night.

······
At the same time, because Yelu Hongji withdrew 100,000 troops from Xijing Yunzhong Prefecture (Datong), Yunzhong Prefecture was left with a lack of military forces.

After receiving the telegram, the Ming army general immediately led an army of 100,000 and headed straight for Yunzhong Prefecture (Datong).

"Boom boom boom boom!" A loud explosion sounded.

It turned out that the Ming army used gunpowder to blow open the city gate, and the Ming army generals led their soldiers straight into Yunzhong Prefecture (Datong).

"Kill!" Hard work pays off. After a fierce battle, the Ming army successfully occupied Yunzhong Prefecture (Datong).

As expected, the Ming army inside Yanmen Pass also received the news, and the army rushed directly into Shuozhou...!

After the large army joined forces near Yulin, they also attacked northward. After crossing the Yellow River, they headed towards the Liao Kingdom's homeland...!
And at the dock of Dengzhou, hundreds of ships of various sizes are preparing to head to Suzhou (Lushun) across the sea...!
It can be said that the entire Ming army has launched an all-out attack, heading straight for the entire territory of the Liao Kingdom.

At this time, Xijin Prefecture (Beiping) was also experiencing a brutal war, of course the brutal war was on the Liao side.

Because Lin Hao really brought a lot of firearms, the Liao army suffered heavy losses. The key point was that the Liao army was traumatized by the firearms.

Seeing the Ming army firing firearms, morale dropped to the lowest level and they instinctively feared the power of firearms.
