Seeing that the Xi people's position on the right lowered their flags, and the Song army in front stopped their artillery fire, Yelu Hongji exclaimed: "The Xi people have surrendered? ”

Yelu Xiantong hurriedly called the horse and immediately went to visit. Once the Xi people were surrendered, the right flank of the Chinese army was exposed, and the impact was greater.

After a short time, the horse came back and told him that the Xi people had descended. Under the watchful eye of the Song army, the Xi people were moving north to Wuqing.

Yelu Xiantong sighed, returned to Yelu Hongji's side, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Xi Ma Liu has surrendered." Now the Xi people are heading north of Wuqing, where only the Song army remains. In this way, our right wing is completely exposed to the Song army, how can this be good? ”

Yelu Hongji was silent for a while, and then said sharply: "Order Yelu Yixin to immediately send someone to block the right flank." Attacking the Song army's artillery position in front, let's stop first. Just hold on and wait until it gets dark and we'll figure it out! ”

Yelu Xiantong promised and went in a hurry.

Yelu Hongji looked at the sun above his head, and then looked at the battlefield in front of him, and his face sank like water. He is not a fool, so he naturally knows that the change of the Khitan is now a foregone conclusion. However, if he wants to surrender to the Song army like Xi Maliu, it will not be possible in any way. Even if all the Khitans died on the battlefield, it would be impossible for him to surrender. As a big country in the world, Yelu Hongji has this ambition.

But what if you don't surrender? Yelu Hongji didn't know either. The so-called waiting until the evening is just talking. What about waiting until evening? Will the Song army still give way for the Khitans to leave safely? With the current lack of food and clothing in the Khitan, the Song army really gave way out, where can the Khitan people go? Youzhou and Pingzhou have both fallen, and the Khitan army cannot go back.

Xi Maliu led his army to the north of the city, surrounded by Zhang Yu's cavalry, and watched firmly. Now there is no war ahead, and there is no energy to deal with them. can only transport grain first, so that Xi Ma Liuguan's subordinates can eat. Everything will be talked about after the war.

Seeing the soldiers busy there, Song Hao, the general who was in charge, said: "King, I still have some wine and meat here, you can eat some." As long as the soldiers are quiet and do not make trouble, this battle is over for you. However, if someone makes trouble, don't blame us for being hot. ”

Xi Maliu hurriedly thanked him and said: "At this step of the field, as long as you save your life, it is a blessing, which one will make trouble!" The general can rest assured that this battle has long been tired, and it is best to be able to end it. ”

Song Hao nodded, and ordered his subordinates to send wine and meat to Xi Maliu and let him enjoy it himself.

Xi Ma couldn't eat enough for more than six days, and when he saw wine and meat, he was very excited. I don't care about the indecency in the eyes of others, so I enjoy it on the side of the road. After eating a few bites, he raised his head, and saw that the Xi people on the side were looking at him, and he couldn't help sighing.

How could you have imagined that this battle would end up like this?

Rice was brought, and the soldiers made fire and cooked there. The rest of the people were squatting or sitting on the ground, watching. It's winter, and the ice on the ground hasn't melted, and it's unusually cold. However, these days, the soldiers have suffered a lot, and they don't care, they just sit like that.

The weapons had already been taken away by the Song army, and these people had completely lost their fighting spirit. Now the only thing that attracts them is a mouthful of hot rice.

On the left flank, Ma Huaide stood on the watchtower, watching the battle ahead. Gu Yi and Dielid are both defeated under their own hands, and today there is an assist from Jingtai in the north, which is not an opponent at all. It's just that the Song army didn't want to fight hard, but kept moving the gun positions slowly to ensure artillery fire, and the speed of the attack was not fast. Ma Huaide himself estimated that there should be another hour or so to completely compress the Khitan army formation into the range of artillery fire. At that time, the Song army only had to open fire. Even if the Khitans have copper heads and iron bones, they can't withstand artillery fire.

Li Weixian came over, went up to the watchtower, and said to Ma Huaide: "Tai Lieutenant, the Xi people on the right wing have been lowered. ”

Ma Huaide was taken aback: "It's gone?" Xi people really can't fight! How many are these? It fell in less than half a day! ”

Li Weixian said: "Today, what else can the Khitans do not surrender?" So far, only the center of Yeluhongji has organized an attack. As a result, they crashed into the military formation of the thunderbolt car, and did nothing, and thousands of people were gone. ”

Ma Huaide smiled: "Those Khitans are really unlucky. Attack other places, so as to fight a battle. To attack the thunderbolt, is it not to die? The Khitans in front of us also had no choice but to die there. As far as I can see, another hour will be almost there. ”

Li Weixian said: "Yes." They did not dare to attack, and when the artillery was in place, they could only be attacked. In this way, no army will work. ”

The artillery and ammunition of the Song army were sufficient, and after compressing the Khitan army formation, it was not difficult to bombard them all with artillery. In the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, in the end, the Song army basically lost nothing and won a complete victory, please be ironic. However, cold weapons against guns, the loss ratio is like this. In the past, when the Song army was not trained enough, and when there was no experience, there were still contacts. The Song army is skilled, and this battle will not be able to be fought.

In the Khitan barracks, Gu Yi leaned against the door of his barracks, sat crookedly on a chair, lowered his head, and didn't say a word. Outside there was a lot of artillery fire and smoke, and it was as if he hadn't heard it.

Pu Gu came over and said with his hands crossed: "General, the artillery of the Song army is fierce, and it is getting closer and closer, so it is not a way to go on like this." ”

Gu Yi raised his head and said lazily, "Then what is the way?" ”

Pu Gu was stunned for a moment before he said: "Now that it is surrounded by the Song army on all sides, it is really difficult to do." The Song army that attacked us today has been fighting for dozens of days, and it is not their opponent. Coupled with the Song army in the north, the situation is worrying. ”

Gu Yi said: "Yes, the situation is worrying, am I not worried here." Today is a mortal situation, so why struggle. Just wait until the Song army attacks. At that time, it was to kill or capture, and let them be. ”

Gu Pu said: "Could it be that you are here and watching the Song army attack?" Something has to be done! ”

Gu Yin said angrily: "If you have a way, I will send someone to do it immediately." Do you have one? ”

Pu Gu shook his head: "The two armies have been fighting for dozens of days and there is no way, in a hurry, where can they come up with countermeasures." ”

"Isn't that it?" Gu Yi spread his hands. "There's just no way but to wait here for death. I used to know that the Song army used guns, and I didn't think it was very powerful, and there was always a way to deal with them. As a result, after a battle, I realized that it was not the case at all. With their guns, they can hit us from afar. We use knives and guns, we can't get close to them, how can this battle be fought! ”

Pu Gu looked at Gu Yi in a daze, knowing that he was telling the truth, and this battle really couldn't be fought. But just stay honest like this, waiting for the enemy to bombard his army with shells, it's not a solution.

At this moment, Tuguci hurried over. looked at the two of them, and then said: "The Xi person on the right has already descended!" ”

Gu Yi stood up abruptly and said, "Is there a mistake? There are more than 80,000 people of the Xi clan, if they surrender, the right wing of the saint will be completely exposed to the Song people! At that time, the Song army set up artillery on the right again, how to block it? ”

Tugu said: "Of course there is nothing wrong! I can see from a high place that the Xi people have reached the north of Wuqing City, and their positions have all become Song people. The Song army is setting up artillery there, preparing to bombard our Chinese army! ”

Gu Yi looked at Pu Gu, and after a while, he said, "After they surrendered, did the Chinese army move?" ”

Tugu said: "What can be moved? It's nothing more than sending people to guard the right wing. The Song army, which was attacking the Chinese army, had dozens of iron cars in front of it, and it was completely invulnerable. There are also cannons on this iron car, which are the most powerful. The Chinese army itself is overwhelmed, where is there room to take care of anything else. ”

Gu Yi nodded, pondering there. After a long while, he said to the two: "Today's way to survive can only be surrender." The Xi people have already descended, and you say, should we also descend? ”

(There is something to do today, there is only one change, and there will be time to make up for it tomorrow.) Excuse me. ）
