Chapter 71 What is the sin of the common people-5

Qiu Laoliu was gray-haired, and he watched one group of people after another being driven up to death by the Murb cavalry, his face became more and more pale, his legs were very weak, and his heart was pounding hard. The more fearful things were, the faster they came, and a hideous-looking barbarian quickly rode in front of him, waving his scimitar, and although they could not understand the words, the people also understood that it was time to go up and die. The Mlb cavalry was only a little more than a thousand horsemen, but they drove away more than 10,000 people. In front of this Eagle Rock Village, four or five thousand people have already died. The people were terrified, but under the intimidation of the Mlb cavalry, no one dared to flee.

"Hurry up, you wait to come forward-" Song Quan and Wang Zhong shouted arrogantly, "Grind, be careful of the whip." The two of them were selected to follow the Murb cavalry south because of some Mobei barbarian words all night. Although the situation of the two people in the past was similar to that of these people in Huanzhou, now they are like superior people, and any of the people who even dragged their actions a little bit were whipped open. To the people, they were much more fierce than the Murbs.

Qiu Lao Liu walked tremblingly. His face was as dead as ashes, and he suddenly fell to his knees and cried loudly, "My lord, spare my life, spare my life." ”

"Do you want to die?" Song Quan frowned, and the raw cowhide whip crackled. Qiu Laoliu hugged his head and didn't dare to dodge, but begged for mercy in his mouth: "My lord spare my life, if the adult wants to enter the Song Realm, the villain is familiar with the big and small roads, and he will definitely be able to bypass the Eagle Rock Village." Centurion Meng Dan also looked over, Song Quan and Wang Zhong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly passed on Qiu Laoliu's words, and then according to the instructions of Lord Erbo, he asked sharply: "You old man, if it is not a lie and deceive, then close the Yanmen Gate to the left, the Song military camp is real and real, and the situation of the big and small roads is reported to the Lord clearly." If there is a sentence that is not true, he will be killed immediately. ”

Qiu Lao Liu hurriedly said to the ground: "Don't hide it from the adults, the villain often sells some private goods to the south when he is young, and in the area of Yanmen Pass, there are thirteen large and small camps in the Song Kingdom, all of which are built by danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack. And in the valleys there are forty-four wide and narrow roads, the wide ones can pass through cars and horses, and the narrow ones can only pass people. As he spoke, Song Quan passed these words to Meng Dan, who stared at Qiu Lao Liu and muttered for a while, and Song Quan said loudly: "Then you lead the way for the army, avoid the Song army, and go around to the back of Yingyan Village." He saw that Meng Dan valued Qiu Lao Liu, and he didn't speak so harshly.

Qiu Lao Liu hurriedly said: "The villain is willing to serve the army." However, these forty-four roads, large and small, were all known to the Song army guarding the border. As soon as he finished speaking, Song Quan's face sank, and he scolded: "You old man is impatient, you dare to entertain the uncle." Before he could pass the word on to Lord Barbarian, Qiu Lao Liu said: "In addition to these forty-four roads, there are also three small roads leading to the front, because people are not often walking, and the southern border army does not know about it. The three trails he mentioned were the mountain paths that the smuggling caravans would detour through when the wind on the Song-Liao border was extremely tight and the Song army guarding the border no longer turned a blind eye.

Meng Dan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately reported to the commander of the thousand, Huo Tuo. While Huo Tuo sent someone to report to the commander of the Ten Thousand Brothers, Tiemu Ge, he personally took fifty horsemen, with Qiu Lao Liu as a guide, to investigate the hidden path leading to the Southern Dynasty. Although Qiu Lao Liu has not walked for more than ten years, his memory is excellent. Although the road is rough, after cutting the weeds and branches, it can allow a person to lead a horse through slowly. It took fifty horsemen two days to go around in the Longling Mountains and Yanmen Mountains, and finally turned out of the reckless mountains, looking at the endless flat wilderness below the mountains, Huo Tuo couldn't help but let out a long breath and sighed: "This place is not wider than the grassland, if it weren't for this old man to lead the way, just going around in this mountain, even if you don't starve to death, the horse will be tired to death." He himself led thirty horsemen to guard the place out of the mountain. Strictly ordered his subordinates not to go out to cut grass and hunt, nor to light fires, and only eat the cheese jerky they carried with them, so as not to alarm the Song people. In addition, he sent Centurion Meng Dan to bring twenty men back to Shanbei with Qiu Lao Liu, and received more Murbo cavalry to the south.

There were already thousands of Mlb cavalry gathered north of Eagle Rock Village. Hearing the news, the commander of the ten thousand soldiers, Tiemuge, not only did not relax, but drove the people to attack Yingyan Village for several days. The arrows of the Song army guarding the village were very badly consumed, and the supplies and baggage that they were looking forward to every day arrived quickly. On this day, more than 2,000 Erb cavalry suddenly appeared in the south of Yingyan Village, which immediately plunged the Xiang army guarding the village into a great panic.

"Yang Dutou, we have been copied by the Liao!"

Yang Yuanlong looked at the Liao cavalry in the south of the camp, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a low voice: "Count each, how many arrows are left?" He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "To save money, as long as we firmly guard the camp, the Prime Minister will definitely send troops to rescue us." He looked viciously at the group of Hu cavalry who had bypassed the Eagle Rock Village, and slammed his fist on the hard stone. Yang Yuanlong said that he was the head of the family, and the deputy envoy of the official residence Hedong Road was sought. The two families of Zheyang are deeply rooted in Hedong and have been good for generations. After Yang Yanqing led his troops to seize Yunzhou, the soldiers and horses who stayed behind in the rear pass were all under the command of Zhe Keqiu, who was stationed at Shiling Pass.

The Liao army's attack on Yingyan Village became more fierce, and it was originally only to drive the people to attack the camp, but now there are many Mirbo cavalry dismounted, wrapped in the people, and released cold arrows to the Song army guarding the village. The arrows of the Song army became fewer and fewer, the casualties were getting bigger and bigger, and when the cavalry of the Liao army in the south also coerced a large number of people from Hedong as a sign army to attack the camp, the reinforcements had not yet arrived, and the Xiang army guarding the Yingyan Village was completely desperate. The archers of the Xiang army were all locals, and many relatives and family members were among the people of Hedong who were coerced by the Liao army, and many of them shed tears and released arrows. Relatives killed each other, and the villagers cried and shouted for their mothers, and the situation was a hundred times bleaker than the original. The Song army's arrows and stones became less and less, and it finally reached a point where it was about to run out.

"Damn," Yang Yuanlong said hoarsely, "I don't want to be a bad seed, I'm going to fight with a knife!" A few blood blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth, which he bit again, and his two eyes were bloodshot. Each of them had less than two arrows left. Yang Yuanlong sharpened the steel knife with his calloused hands until it made a "click" sound. The other vans also wielded their own knives.

The cavalry of the Liao army drove the people from beginning to end and consumed the arrows of the Song army, but they hid behind the people and released cold arrows from a distance. Of the 500 troops guarding the camp, there are only more than 300 people left, and the corpses of the people outside are piled up, but there are not many Urbo people who have actually killed. The enemy also seemed to realize that the Song army was running out of arrows, and there were more and more real Liao troops in the attack, and they were still hiding behind the people. Whenever a few wild goose arrows were shot out, the Erbo army stopped for a while, and when they saw that there was no movement in the camp, they slowly attacked upwards and approached the wall. Yingyan Village guards the road, and the gate is deliberately very narrow, so that only one horse can pass through, but the outside of the wall is full of corpses and firewood, and the soldiers can directly rush to the wall.

"Kill-" Yang Yunlong shouted violently, and the steel knife slashed down on the face of a Mirbo man, he was like a mad tiger, and the surrounding people were so frightened that they avoided it, and Hu Er fell down screaming. At the beginning, the Song army still had the upper hand, and the Erbo people slaughtered the people and tortured and killed prisoners many times outside the Yingyan Village. The Song soldiers guarded the village for dozens of days, consciously having no physiology, and they all gritted their teeth and fought fiercely. The Hedong soldiers have always been fierce and abnormal, and the Erbo soldiers are not good at foot fighting, often two or three people surround a Song army, and only then can they be cleaned up. It's just that with the continuous influx of Murbo soldiers into the camp, more and more Song soldiers fell into a bitter struggle.

The Song soldiers were alone, and the more they fought, the fewer they fought, and even Yang Yuanlong was covered in wounds. Guarding the village for so many days and killing countless people, Yang Yuanlong has never killed so happily, he strode forward, and a knife slashed over a Hu man, stepping on his chest. The shield blocked the scimitar that came from the side, and Yang Yuanlong slashed a Liao soldier in front of him, however, the knife was stuck on the shoulder blade and could not be taken out for a while. Yang Yuanlong only felt the strong wind behind him, shouted, abandoned the sword and shield and turned around, firmly clamped several spears with both arms, and was waiting to bully forward and take down the spears of the Liao army. He was slashed heavily by the Liao army in the back, and the pain made his hand loosen slightly, his movement was rarely slow, and he was stabbed by several Liao army spears.

Only then did several Liao soldiers pull their spears out from under his armpits, and they didn't care whether they were dead or alive, and desperately stabbed at him. Yang Yuanlong's eyes widened: "Dad, big brother, Yuanlong did not insult the ancestors. "But it was so dark that I couldn't see anything. Several spears held the corpse up, and it didn't fall for a long time. In this bloody battle, the 500 Song soldiers guarding Yingyan Village were all wiped out, and more than a dozen were wounded and would rather die than surrender, and were tortured and killed by the Liao army. And the casualties of the Mlbs themselves were as high as six or seven hundred.

The signatories were busy carrying the corpses, and the road to the east of the river was cleared. The weather was hot, the Murb people wanted to be buried, and the corpses of the Song soldiers were moved outside to be burned, and some Song soldiers were still firmly hugged by the enemy at the last moment, and they could not break their fingers, but only cut them off with knives.

Brother Temu, the commander of ten thousand people, had a gloomy face, and there was no joy of victory in his heart. "There are so many people in the Song Kingdom, if they are all like the defenders of this Yingyan Village, then we will not be able to win this battle even if we are desperate to the death." He looked at the sheep-like people in front of him, and said to the centurion Meng Dan in a deep voice, "If it is inconvenient to take it away, kill it near here, so as not to leave trouble." Meng Dan agreed in a low voice, and Brother Tiemu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looking up at the back of Yingyan Village, following this straight and narrow road, through the reckless mountains like a natural barrier, it is the east of the Song Kingdom, countless villages, and countless people.
