On the eighth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, outside Wangping City, Donghu Daying.

Early in the morning, Donghudan had already gotten up early in Kubida, and after praying sincerely to the immortal heaven in the tent for a long time, he walked out of the big tent. The sun had not yet come out, and the Donghu army in the entire Donghu camp was already neatly clothed and waiting to attack.

The current Kublai has long lost any thoughts about Liaodi, and in so many days of competing with Liaodi. He finally knew the sharpness of the weapons and equipment of the Liaodi army, and even more knew the determination of the Liaodi soldiers and civilians to resist to the death - that is, the determination to rather be broken than destroyed.

The determination was so strong that Kubida was afraid. Now he just wants to go home, and take his warriors back to his homeland, where the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Last night, the soldiers of Donghu already knew the situation facing their army, and they also knew that if they wanted to go home, they had to fight a bloody way, and the whole camp was filled with a tragic atmosphere. On the contrary, it was more aggressive than when he first invaded Liaodi.

Seeing such a scene, Shan Kubida's heart also swelled with pride. Stepping on the horseback, he said to the leaders of several tribes behind the palace: "All the leaders of the palace, the back of my army will be handed over to you." ”

Du Yu Hu and several leaders of the palaces also showed a sad face, and said together: "Please rest assured." ”

Kublai nodded, holding a horsewhip and pointing to the camp gate: "Open the door, beat the drums, and line up." ”

At the same time, the Liao army camp to the east of the Donghu camp and the Wangping city to the west also sounded the war drums of the army's array.

The sound of the war drums of "knock, knock, knock......" soared into the sky, shaking the entire earth.

Du Yuhu looked at the entire Donghu army led by Kublai Da, all of them left the camp. Du Yuhu's son, Qi Mulei, walked to his father's side and whispered to his father: "Father, the messenger sent by Lord Su Qing of Liaodi, I have hidden it in my tent. You see......"

Du Yuhu interrupted his words and said to his son Qi Mulei: "We'll see the situation later." Kublai replied that he left our tribe behind and covered the withdrawal of the army, clearly not giving us a way to live, and we could not sit idly by. ”

His son Qi Mulei nodded and didn't say anything.

Rong Yi, the general of the Liaodi battalion, watched the Liaodi army led by himself come out one after another, lined up one phalanx after another on the battlefield outside, and from the bottom of the hills and slopes of his camp, a group of troops lined up to the top of the slope. This time, the cavalry troops of Liaodi, according to the actual situation, were not lined up in front of the army formation, but on the two flanks of the entire army formation.

Rong Hu's decisive battle with the Donghu army this time, after thinking twice, decided to adopt the usual Central Plains army, infantry against the Xiongnu and Donghu cavalry, so that the infantry first fought with the cavalry troops of Donghu. Although several generals of the cavalry, including his own son Rong Yan, asked for the first battle, Rong Yan was unmoved.

The 30,000 troops led by Bo Wang of Wangping City also opened the city gates, and the entire army went out of the city in turn, lined up in the rear of the Donghu army, and faced the 30,000 Donghu troops of several palace-back tribes in Huhe.

Rong Yan saw that the Donghu army that walked out of the camp was still in formation, and came down from the command platform. He personally rode to the front of his troops, shouting as he went, shouting to his soldiers: "Loyal and brave soldiers of Liaodi. Today, I am not speaking to you as a general, but as an ordinary soldier who has been fighting for many years.

The army in front of us is the Donghu army that has harassed us in Liaodi for many years. They come every year to slaughter our people, to rape our wives and daughters, and to plunder our wealth. Over the years, how many of our people have fallen under their butcher's knives; How much food wealth has been plundered by them.

Now we have blocked them under the city of Wangping, which is almost the entire army of their Donghu. As long as we eliminate them, in the future, the people of Liaodi and our children and grandchildren will never have to live the days of fear in the past.

Today, I ask you not to let a single member of the Donghu army run away, and not to let a member of the Donghu army break through our defensive line. I'm right on the podium, and if any of you notices that I'm taking a step back, whoever can take my head off. Dear soldiers, I am deeply honored that I can fight with you today and annihilate the entire army of Donghu. ”

With that, he bowed deeply to his army on the horse. He drew his sword and raised it high, shouting: "Wan Sheng!" ”

All the phalanxes of the Liaodi army, along with their own commanders, let out an earth-shattering cry together: "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories!" ”

Immediately following Rong Yi standing on the command platform, the command flag flew immediately, and all the Liaodi troops put down the masks on their helmets and buckled them on their faces, and the entire camp was silent.

The sun came out, draping the officers and men of the two armies with a golden glow.

The Donghu army finally put together its own ranks, and the shouts of the Liao army on the opposite side made the queue that had just lined up a little commotion. Kublai looked at the Liao army on the opposite side and saw that they were all dressed in steel armor and steel helmets and masks, like fierce gods. I was secretly surprised in my heart, but I knew that I couldn't hesitate at this time.

He looked at Chilie and Tubuda, as well as the leaders of the Donghu tribe behind him. He turned his head and said to Chi Lie, "Lord Chi Lie, I'm tired. ”

Chi Lie's face was sad, and he replied to Kubi: "Please rest assured, Wechen will open a passage home for my army." Then, without the slightest delay, he shouted: "To go home, the warriors rush with me!" After speaking, he took the army of the tribe to which he belonged and nearly 20,000 Donghu troops of several tribes on the left and right, and rushed towards the army formation in Liaodi.

Tubuda looked at Shan Yu Kubida, and found that his big Shan Yu was looking at him. Without saying anything, he bowed down on his horse, led the last thousand troops of his tribe, followed Chi Lie, and rushed towards the Liao army.

"Woo, woo, woo", the horn of the Donghu Great Formation immediately resounded in front of the two armies.

When Rong Yan saw the Donghu army charging, he was confident, and his heart was as expected. Then he ordered: "Beat the drums, order the tall to use catapults, and strike at the opposing charging army." ”

"No."

At this moment, the captain of the Liaodi Catapult Formation had already marked the size, and when he saw the order, he shouted: "A team of catapults, prepare, release." ”

Nearly 200 catapults immediately made a "whining" sound and sent out the stones that had been polished in advance.

Immediately following Gao Dayong, he continued to shout: "Catapult Team 2, prepare, release." ”

……

Seeing a boulder smashing at him, Chilie hurriedly lowered his head, and the stone flew backwards with his helmet. And I heard the screams of people who had been hit by stones behind and around me, and the neighing of horses. Looking at the continuous flying stones, my scalp tingled.

Tubuda, who followed closely, was no longer so lucky, and under the continuous blows of the Liao army's stone throwers, he was hit by a stone, fell off his horse, and was immediately trampled like mud by the cavalry of his own tribe.

Seeing that the opponent's advance assault troops had entered the area marked by their crossbows, Rong Yan waved his big hand and ordered: "Shoot with a crossbow." The shield was raised. ”

On the podium, the flag fluttered.

Nearly 20,000 crossbowmen raised their crossbows one after another and threw them into the sky. Suddenly, the sky was full of long arrows, like a thick dark cloud, flying towards the Donghu army that rushed towards it. The steel arrows shone brightly in the early sun. The Donghu cavalry, which had just hit the crossbow area, fell off their horses one after another under the continuous blows of the crossbowmen of the Liao army.

Chilie dodged the first arrow, then the second, but finally failed to dodge the third. A crossbow arrow hit the door in front of him, and Chi Lie fell from his horse with a bang, and a thought flashed while closing his eyes: "Our army is finished, Donghu is finished!" ”

Under the continuous resistance of the Liao army's catapults and crossbowmen along the way, the few remaining Donghu cavalry who rushed to the front of the Liao army ushered in another round of fatal blows. The continuous javelins were thrown from the hands of the Liao army, and the Donghu army fell in front of the Liao army one after another.

The rest of the Donghu cavalry who ran in front of the phalanx of Liao soldiers did not pose any threat to the Liao army, and the spearmen behind the shields poked these Donghu cavalry off their horses one after another. It simply caused a commotion in the Liao army's array, and the casualties were minimal.

There was a dead silence on the battlefield, except for the sound of Donghu's wounded soldiers and horses on the battlefield.

Don't say that Donghu Danyu's eyes widened, even Rong Yu sighed. After so many years of fighting, only after coming to Liaodi, did I know what the word "crushing" often said by my son-in-law, this is what my son-in-law called "dimensionality reduction" strike! How can these Donghu troops with primitive bronze weapons be the opponents of our Liao army armed to the teeth with new materials!

Donghudan, who was riding on a horse, closed his eyes and gasped heavily. What comes to mind is the image of his father holding his hand tightly when he is dying. In my heart, I said to my father, "Father, you are the spirit of heaven. Bless your son and your people to come home safely. ”

He opened his eyes, threw the horsewhip in his hand to the ground, slowly drew out the single knife he was wearing, and shouted to the remaining tens of thousands of Donghu troops: "For the sake of going home, for the sake of the clan, warriors, follow me to fight a bloody road." ”

With that, he rode a horse and raised his sword and took the lead in rushing out. The generals of Donghu behind him also followed Kublai and led their tribal army to rush out with shouts.

The earth began to tremble, then it shook, and finally the whole battlefield began to tremble and beat.

Rong Yi was on the command platform and saw that the entire Donghu army was pouring in, leaving no reserves. I also stood up, knowing that this was the final decisive moment.

Command the herald: "Order the cavalry troops to be dispatched." ”

Then on the command platform, the flag flew.

When the Liao cavalry Rong Yan, Liu Sheng, and Zuo Zong saw the order, they led their cavalry and slowly descended the hilly slope from the two wings of the Liao infantry. Immediately the horses trotted up; Then the horses got faster and faster.

By the time they rushed out of front of the infantry, the horses were at their highest speed. Immediately, they skillfully lined up the shock formation and faced the remaining Donghu cavalry led by Kublai Da, who were under the continuous blows of catapults and crossbowmen.

Immediately, on the battlefield, the sound of fighting broke out like a landslide and a tsunami.

……

In the tenth year of King Wucheng, on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, the Liaodi army led by the general Rong Yi and the Donghu army led by Donghu Danyu broke out in the Wangping area.

In this battle, Donghu Shan was killed in the battle of Kubida, the Donghu army suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, and the tribal leaders led nearly 50,000 remnants of Donghu to surrender.

So far, the large-scale joint military campaign of Donghu, Goguryeo, and Ji to conquer Liao has completely failed. Nearly 30,000 soldiers and civilians were killed or wounded in Liao, including nearly 6,000 in the army and militia. In addition to the surviving army of the Kei Kingdom, the elite divisions of the Goguryeo Kingdom and the Donghu Kingdom can be said to have been completely lost.

The entire Yan Kingdom was shaken.
