Yang Yizhong led his troops to bite the Yelu banner, and when he saw that the thief army entered the mountain pass, it was bound to slow down the speed of its advance, so he immediately said excitedly to the soldiers: "The thief army enters the mountain pass, and the terrain is narrow, which will inevitably affect the speed of escape. Now is our chance, catch up, and eat most of his troops, and the thief will not be far from death! ”

The soldiers' morale was boosted, and they quickened their pace, thinking that they would quickly kill the thief army, so that they could have a chance to bury the pot and make food.

The Song army followed the thief army into the mountain pass, and suddenly killed a large number of enemy troops from both sides, and the thief army that fled in front immediately turned back, forming a situation of encirclement and killing on three sides.

The ambush set up by the thieves in a hurry must have been greatly discounted.

Yang Yizhong was calm and calm, and said loudly: "Don't panic in the whole army!" The thieves were ill-prepared, and the ambush was nothing more than a façade. Stay in formation and counterattack! ”

Yang Yizhong is right. Yelu Daqi and Yang Yizhong are separated by three miles, and they can be reached in an instant, and the so-called ambush is just squeezed to both sides and posed. There was not enough time to prepare, and there were no long distances to provide the cavalry with a dash distance, and naturally the power was greatly reduced.

However, the mountain col is long and narrow, and the thief army is attacking from three sides, and there is still a certain advantage in the scene.

The crossbowmen of the Song army fired two rounds, and the two armies were already close to each other and fell into a melee. The crossbowmen hid in the middle of the horse infantry army, waiting for the opportunity to shoot a rain of arrows at the rear of the enemy army in the distance, and the rear troops of the enemy army could not squeeze in for a while, and they were killed by the crossbow arrows of the Song army.

Yelu Daqi saw that the Song army's horse infantry army had formed a wall, and the crossbowmen inside could only shoot willfully into the distance, causing huge casualties on their own side. Yelu Daqi did the same, and ordered the archers to shoot at the Song army. However, the range of bows and arrows was not as good as that of crossbows, and most of the arrows were shot at the horse infantry of the two sides in the melee in front, which can be described as a defeat for both sides.

It is not a way to go on like this, it is necessary to break through the outer defense line of the Song army and destroy the crossbow array of the Song army hiding in the formation.

Yelu Daqi straddled the horse and raised the gun, leading the strong generals around him to ride like a sharp blade, rushing to the Song army's defense line.

The elite of the thief army was exhausted, and the Song army's defense line was tired for a while, and it was difficult to stop, and it was about to be killed by Yelu Daqi to open a gap.

Yelu's banner is brave and brave, and it is by no means an ordinary person who can be defeated.

Yang Yi ordered a team of people to guard the crossbowmen, and led a cavalry to lead the killing to Yelu Daqi.

"Yelu Daqi, this time, let's divide the ranks!"

Yang Yizhong swept away the two cavalry in front of Yelu Daqi, and Yelu Daqi seized the opportunity and stabbed Yang Yizhong in the chest with a shot. Yang Yizhong leaned back and dodged, and passed by the banner of Yelu.

The cavalry of the two sides are mixed together, like two trains colliding back and forth, each time it is the power of Mars hitting the earth.

Yang Yizhong and Yelu returned to their horses and continued to fight as a group.

"Yelu banner, rein in the precipice, everything is still in time!"

"Haha, unless it can be collected by water!"

"Sincerely, the golden stone is open."

"Joke! Haven't asked for advice yet, your Excellency's surname? ”

"Yang Yizhong."

"One of the twenty generals of Mount Tai, Yang Yizhong?"

"It's Yang!"

"Haha, in this way, I, Yelu Daqi, am also qualified to challenge for the position of the twenty generals!"

"If you are wholeheartedly for the imperial court, the ten marshals have your chance!"

Yelu Daqi lifted Yang Yizhong's big lance, pointed a shot at the opponent's head, and said: "With General Yang's words, I have no regrets!" ”

The two sides fought from the afternoon to the evening, and the last rays of the sunset were about to fall into the dark. The battle in the col was not as fierce as it had been, the ground was littered with casualties, and the ownerless horse stood in place, not knowing where to go, who would be its next master?

Yang Yizhong and Yelu Daqi were already panting, their arms were sore, and their mouths were numb.

Yang Yizhong waved away the fluttering shot of the Yelu banner and said: "Both armies are already tired, it is better to eat and fight, and it is not too late to fight!" ”

Yelu Daqi said, "Good! I'm afraid you won't make it! ”

The generals of the two sides agreed to retreat three miles and bury the pot to cook.

As night fell, corpses piled up all over the ground, and the blood had already coagulated.

The two sides really retreated three miles each according to the agreement, and buried the pot to make rice.

On the side of the Song army, Yang Yizhong asked people to count the battle situation, and his own side lost more than 3,000 people and wounded more than 10,000 people, almost half of the troops were killed or wounded. On the Yelu banner, the situation will be even worse. As long as he rests and eats enough, or waits until Zhang Jun comes, Yelu Daqi will definitely have to sit and wait.

The subordinates asked Yang Yizhong: "General, did you really let the thief army eat and then fight?" Aren't you afraid that they will run away? ”

Yang Yizhong said confidently: "Escape? Where can I escape? The whole world is not the king's land, and he can't escape from the palm of our hands! As soon as the marshal arrives, they will have to be captured! ”

The rear probe Malay reported: "General, about five miles away in the rear, I found a continuous line of torches!" ”

Yang Yizhong was overjoyed: "It must be the marshal who has arrived!" Hurry up and cook your meal! ”

After a stick of incense, sure enough, Zhang Jun's forward horse came to report: "The marshal is here with grain and grass with his troops!" ”

Now it's okay, whether it's a quick battle or a protracted battle, the Song army is not afraid!

Zhang Jun also saw the fire in front of him, so he quickened his pace. Tanma reported that General Yang had fought hard before and was burying the pot to cook. Zhang Jun was worried about the situation of the front army and ordered the headquarters to move forward at full speed.

Yang Yizhong stood at the back of the headquarters, his beard was messy, but his eyes were bright. He gulped down the rice balls in his hand, laughing and watching Zhang Jun walk over. 361 Reading

"Yizhong, how's it going?" Zhang Jun came over in three steps and made two steps, and asked with concern.

Yang Yizhong swallowed the last bite of rice balls in his hand and said: "Our army fought with the thief army for more than an hour, and our own side lost more than 3,000 people and injured more than 10,000 people, and successfully dragged the enemy!" ”

Although the enemy was dragged out, it was very costly! Zhang Jun knew if Yang Yizhong was fighting an uncertain battle, with such a large number of casualties, there must be a reason for it, and the thief army must have suffered more casualties.

Zhang Jun sighed: "It would be nice if Ben Shuai came earlier!" Let's discuss the next battle plan! ”

Besides, Yelu Daqi retreated three miles as promised, burying the pot and making rice. Seeing that there was also a firelight seal on the Song army camp opposite in the dark, he put his mind at ease and did not have to worry about the other party's sneak attack for the time being.

"How much combat power does our army have left?" Yelu Daqi asked the adjutant general.

The adjutant replied: "There are less than 10,000." ”

20,000 horses, more than 10,000 casualties!

Yelu Daqi said: "Let the soldiers hurry up and cook, and we will withdraw first after eating." I didn't see Zhang Jun today, and when he comes, we will have to suffer a lot! ”

The adjutant general whispered: "General, the last general proposed to let some soldiers bury the pot and cook here, so as to confuse the real with the fake." The general leads the squad to retreat first! ”

"What are you afraid of, don't we still have nearly 10,000 people?" Yelu Daqi said.

"The last general said less than 10,000, yes...... There are about five thousand. The adjutant said cautiously.

"What?" Yelu Daqi realized that his voice was loud, and hurriedly whispered: "Only five thousand left?" ”

"General, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood! Please make a decision early, so as not to give Qingqing her life! ”

Yelu Daqi suddenly felt a sadness welling up in his heart, did he choose the wrong time to rebel, or did he choose the wrong object of rebellion? It's only been less than three months, and you're going to see Hades?

The deputy general saw that Yelu was in a daze and urged again.

Perhaps the adjutant general was right.

It's not too late to learn from the pain and make amends.

Yelu Daqi resolutely took more than 800 people and quietly retreated while it was dark, leaving 4,000 soldiers who didn't know what to do, still burying the pot and cooking in the same place with hope.

Zhang Jun learned about the difference in military strength between the two sides, and sure enough, he led his 10,000 troops in order to cover up the past while the thief army was still eating.

The thief army had not finished eating, and seeing that Song Jun suddenly did not play according to the routine, he hurriedly looked for Yelu Daqi, but where was his shadow, and even the other generals were gone.

These thieves who acted as cannon fodder were leaderless, and before they could make a resistance move, they saw that the Song army was menacing and had a huge force, so they hurriedly abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Zhang Jun surrendered the prisoners, and asked if Yelu Daqi had fled, so he called Yang Yizhong, leaving 3,000 healthy soldiers to guard the thieves and prisoners, take care of their own wounded, and continue the pursuit with the remaining soldiers and horses.

Yelu Daqi absconded all the way through the night, and did not dare to light a torch. Nearly 100 soldiers were lost on the road, and it is not known whether they fell to their deaths, got lost, or ran away on the road.

Treat them as if they were dead.

A village appeared in front of it, and by this time of the night it was dark, and only the edges and corners of the simple houses were visible in the black. There are nearly a dozen houses in the village, which are quite close to each other, and there is a fence outside the village, presumably to prevent wild beasts from breaking in.

Yelu Daqi rushed into the village with people in a noisy manner, and the chickens and dogs jumped in fright.

The villagers thought that there was a thief who stole chickens and dogs, put on their clothes, picked up sticks and went out to see, oh, they were even more powerful than thieves, they were horse bandits!

The villagers just wanted to retreat to the house and close the door, but they were cut off by Yelu Daqi and shouted: "Give me all out, otherwise there will be no forgiveness!" ”

When the villagers saw hundreds of horse bandits rushing in, how dare they be disobedient again. Everyone went out and gathered in a heap, and some people came out with oil lamps. At this time, I looked at the horse bandits by the light, each wearing armor and holding weapons, it turned out to be Qiu Ba.

The village chief has also seen the world, and came out and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask for any advice when you come to Hancun?" ”

Yelu Daqi said: "Don't fix these crepes! We haven't eaten yet, so let's kill some chickens and cook more good food. We'll go when we're full! ”

The villagers did not dare to talk much, and under the arrangement of the village chief, each family went back to their own house and honestly killed chickens and ducks to cook and cook, hoping that the soldiers would leave when they were full.

Yelu shouted: "Don't think of slipping away, or you will be killed and your house will be burned!" ”

The village chief stayed by the side and said cautiously: "Don't dare, this is our home, and we won't go anywhere." ”

"That's the best!" Yelu Daqi also instructed the accompanying soldiers to strengthen the surrounding vigilance, and as soon as they discovered the enemy's situation, they would leave immediately.

Half an hour later, the villagers prepared their meals and cowered and carried them up for the soldiers to enjoy.

Yelu ordered the men, women, and children of the village to be gathered and locked in a room, and they were not allowed to go out. Then, six or seven hundred hungry soldiers finished their meals like wolves, and even licked their plates, but they forgot what they had just eaten in their mouths, and they were very satisfied anyway.

"General, rest for a while." Adjutant said.

Jerod said, "Let ten of you take turns to be on duty, and let the rest rest as well." ”

The soldiers either slept in the villagers' houses or against the wall in the courtyard, and when they were relaxed, they fell asleep.

Yelu Daqi lay on the bed, but he didn't dare to close his eyes, he was afraid that someone would ask for his head to receive the reward while he was asleep, he was afraid that he would not have time to escape when the Song army killed him, he was afraid that when the sun came out tomorrow, people would throw his cold body out of the door, he was afraid......

But he was too sleepy, too tired. No matter how strong the will is, it can't support the tired body.

Jerod fell asleep defenselessly.
