As the smoke rose, the Song artillery shells fell into the Khitan army. When the Khitans were adjusting their formation, the shells exploded into the sky, and for a while people neighed on their backs and cried endlessly.

Jeruphnu patted his head: "Damn it! How did you forget the cannon of the Song army? Isn't it just a target to get together like this? ”

After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked north. I saw about two or three thousand cavalry, loosely surrounded on the north side, just blocking the way.

Closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Yelu Fonu said to Wei Cai beside him: "For today's plan, there is only one way to survive in the north." Now surrounded by the Song army on all sides, if we stay here and do not move, I am afraid that it will not be long before we will be scattered by the artillery of the Song army. It's better to lay down a heart and go north to fight for a way out. I control the army here, so that it will not be scattered by the Song army. Take 2,000 cavalry and go all the way north to see if you can fight your way out. ”

Wei Cai said: "There is also a large army of the Song army in the north, not only those two or three thousand. I thought that if it was two or three thousand people, I was afraid that I would not be able to rush out. ”

Yelu Fonu smiled bitterly: "After a few battles, we can only send so many people." Now look at the Song army in the east and south, each of them has to exceed 10,000 people. If you don't find your way, I'm afraid you won't be able to get through tonight. ”

Wei Cai listened, so he had to say: "Since the general ordered so, the last general has no choice but to obey the order!" ”

At this time, the situation has been clearly understood, and the Khitan must have leaked the news early in this crossing. Near the station, there is an ambush circle set up by the Song army. The poor Khitan people didn't know anything and stupidly bumped in. In fact, after confirming the offensive route of the Khitans, the Song army did not have to be so complicated, as long as they laid an ambush near the station, they would be foolproof. Such a large encirclement is actually a great overestimation of the capabilities of the Khitans.

As the Song army continued to fire artillery, the Khitan formation was scattered. Zhang Qi saw that it was not early, and ordered the infantry to slowly move forward in a dense formation. Together with Chen Rui in the south, the Khitans were completely wiped out here.

At this moment, I saw a team of two or three thousand people in the Khitan army array, and suddenly rushed straight to the north.

Zhang Qi saw it from a distance and said to the soldiers around him: "Order two thousand cavalry to follow behind the Khitans who are going north." Together with Guo Kui's subordinates, destroy them! Guo Kui had most of his troops and horses, but he still held the Juma River, and two or three thousand people over there were enough. ”

The soldiers agreed and turned their horses to give orders.

As the sky gradually darkened, the encirclement of the Song army was already very small. The artillery firepower was relatively concentrated, hitting the center of the Khitan army formation, and slowly the formation began to fall apart. Jeruphnu looked at the chaos around him, and his heart was burning with anxiety. When he looked north, he saw that Wei Cai had been blocked by the cavalry sent by Zhang Qi, and he was surrounded about a mile away from him.

At this moment, I heard a horn from the Song army. The voice is bleak and intimidating. With this horn, the drums in the Song army formation sounded. With the sound of drums, the tide of infantry pressed forward step by step.

The Khitan soldiers in the east were the first to collapse, some soldiers surrendered to the Song army, and some were headless like flies, scurrying around.

Yelu Fonu sighed and said to the soldiers beside him: "Today's defeat is complete, and we have no way to live. Now that the army is out of sight, run for your lives. ”

A pro-soldier said: "General, it's going to be dark when you see it, why be discouraged?" After a little longer, we escorted the general and headed north in the night. I don't believe that the Song army can guard the Juma River without a single gap, and we escort the general back to Zhuozhou. ”

Jeruphnu was silent. That's exactly what he meant, it's just hard to say. Now that the general trend has gone, and in the heavy siege of the Song army, this army has no way out. The army is gone, and I don't want to be buried with it. As for what will happen after returning to Zhuozhou, let's go back first.

Guo Kui rode on his horse, looked at the firelight from time to time from the south, and was silent. His mission this time was to block the Khitan army, and he didn't need to participate in the battle. Thousands of cavalry were sent, just to prevent the Khitan army from rushing to the river.

As the sky grew darker, the sound of artillery in the south began to thin out, and the fire was much less. Jia Kui said: "It seems that the Khitan army is no longer in the climate, and I order all armies to strictly guard the defense line!" If any Khitan people run across the north shore, they will be severely punished! ”

The soldiers around him agreed to the promise, rode horses and quickly ran through the defense line, ordering all armies to hold closely.

The sun's afterglow finally receded, and the starry sky was revealed, filling the vast night sky. The moon had not yet risen, it was not clear under the starlight, and everything seemed blurry.

At this moment, a fast horse came over and crossed his hand to Guo Kui: "Captain, there are dozens of horsemen ahead, bypassing the army and rushing about five or six miles to the west." Looking at them, it looks like they are going to cross the river in the night! ”

Guo Kui said in a deep voice: "Send two hundred cavalry to block them!" Remember, don't let any go! ”

The night in front of Yelu Fonu was vast, and he sighed: "Very good, I finally bypassed the battle formation of the Song army." You should run faster and cross the Juma River as soon as possible, so that you can be safe. Song Jun tried his best to do so, it seems that he doesn't want to cross the river! ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. In a panic, I saw one or two hundred cavalry flash out of the night.

The pro-soldier said: "It's not good, it's the cavalry of the Song army chasing after you!" Hurry up and cross the river, generals, we'll stop them! ”

Yelufonu couldn't be polite any longer, lifted the reins of his horse, took a few people around him, and rushed forward. As he was charging, he heard the sound of gunfire behind him, obviously the Song cavalry was carrying muskets, and he didn't know what happened to the people who were broken.

After running for about a mile, I saw the torches in front of me light up into a line, and in the light and shadow, Song Jun held a musket and aimed at himself.

Yelu Buddha only felt a mouthful of blood rush up and scolded, "What's the matter? This place has been completely defended, isn't it impossible for me to survive! ”

As he spoke, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. Turning around, the cavalry of the Song army was chasing after him.

Looking at the cavalry beside him, Yelufonu sighed: "There is no way to escape." You have been with me for many years, and there is no need to leave your life here. With me, the Song people will not be wiped out. ”

After speaking, he took his helmet and said to the Song cavalry who rushed over: "Yelu Funu, the general of the Northern Dynasty, I am willing to surrender!" ”

Zhang Qi walked through the battlefield with the wolf-like corpses together with Chen Rui, who came to meet, and asked the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield from time to time if they had found the main general of the Khitan. With an army of 10,000 people, the Khitan general is not an ordinary person, even if it is a corpse, it can be seen. In this battle, the Khitan killed more than 4,000 people and captured thousands of prisoners. The captives had already asked, but there was no figure of the commander.

At this moment, more than a hundred cavalry galloped in. When he arrived at Zhang Qi's side, he turned over and dismounted, and the general stepped forward and said: "The last general will be Zhou Leopard under the command of Deputy Guo, and intercept the Khitan general Yelu Buddha in front!" Mrs. Guo has an order, and he is escorted to see Mrs. Guo! ”

Zhang Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Okay, okay, if you catch this Khitan general, this battle will be considered a complete victory!" Order all armies, search the surroundings carefully, and don't let a single Khitan go! Also, Taiwei Guo worked harder, and before the whole army withdrew, let him keep holding the Juma River! ”

Zhou Bao received the order and ordered someone to send Yelu Fonu and others, and he led people to turn around.

Zhang Qi looked at Yelu Fonu and said with a smile: "The general led a large army from afar, if I go back safely, how can I deal with it?" In two days, I will send you to Kaifeng Mansion and meet the saint, this time it will be completed! ”
