----------------------
The wind and clouds are low, the weather is extremely cold, and the sky is scattered with snowflakes.
Under the city of Snake Valley County, the Khitan army was a little shrunken from the cold, although they had just eaten some hard and cold dry food, but after all, in the winter, the dry food could only ensure that they would not starve, and their bodies gradually trembled: if only there was a bowl of hot broth to drink, it would be great.
The Khitan army is strictly disciplined, and if you want to go back without the order of the main general, it is a deserter, and you will be killed. These sergeants didn't dare to say anything, but just looked at Yeluzhao, hoping that he would hurry up and finish this breath, so that Mingjin could withdraw his troops. It's going to take an hour to get back to Mayi! The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and if you don't leave, you will become a snowman when you go back.
Yeluzhao commanded the army and scolded for a while, and became a little depressed. Looking at the expressions of his soldiers again, he took the opportunity to order, circled around the Snake Valley for half a circle, and then showed off his might, and then withdrew his troops back to Mayi.
But he had just made a half-circle, and when he was about to flash people, the 5oo Jin soldiers who had fled just now suddenly appeared again, and rushed over to "pop" is a rain of arrows. Yeluzhao was furious, became ruthless, and rushed towards the 5oo Jin soldiers with his horse and the Khitan soldiers. The two sides played Eagle Catch Chicken again under Snake Valley City. This time, the Khitan soldiers were also smart, and it was also divided into two groups, one to charge from the left, and the other to block the archery from the right, and narrowly surrounded the 5oo people. There are many Khitan people, and it seems that they have taken some advantage, and the Jin soldiers have no choice but to run and can't run out, so they have to run under the city gate, stick to the city wall, rely on the bow and arrow support on the city tower, and shoot hard against the Khitan.
Yelu looked at the snow flakes as big as goose feathers, no matter how they consumed it, they would be cold and hungry, in case the Jin soldiers in Snake Valley County rushed out with ease and waiting, they would suffer a loss if they didn't do it well. Therefore, he shot a few arrows, and Mingjin withdrew.
Watching the Khitan soldiers follow the avenue, they slowly retreated towards Ma Yi. The gate of Snake Valley County was wide open, and Zhao Kuangyin personally led an army and chased the ass of the Khitan army. The opposing sides, for a while, stop and shoot at each other, and for a while, they race their horses and whip up their horses.
The mystery in Yeluzhao's heart is getting bigger and bigger, what is the purpose of Jin Bing's doing this? It's hard to have nothing to do when you're full, so let's have fun with me. Suddenly, his body shook, damn, the tiger is away from the mountain, Lao Tzu's Mayi City...
The garrison of Ma Yi is only more than 2,000 points, and yesterday he clearly saw that the Jin soldiers came with 2ooo cavalry, so he also brought 2ooo cavalry out today to attack. He originally thought that he would just fight with the Jin soldiers under the city of Mayi. Unexpectedly, he was lured out by Jin Bing, and it took so long. He was so anxious, now there are only 2oo people guarding the city of Mayi, if he loses Mayi, then...
He couldn't care about the Jin soldiers behind his ass anymore, and ordered again and again, urging the sergeant to hurry back to Mayi. It's easy to come, but it's hard to go. When they came, the horses were fed with grass, the men had eaten war meals, and the sergeants had a fire in their hearts, which they could not vent; At this moment, in the bare falling heaven and earth, the northwest wind drank for 2 or 3 hours, and the sergeants shrank their heads one by one, and their hands holding the reins were a little numb, and a few sergeants almost did not fall off their horses. It didn't get planted, and the reason was simple, the horse also knew that it was hungry, and it had been pulling it out and slipping away for most of the day, and it had been hungry for a long time. In the beginning of the war, I have seen a sergeant bring his own dry rations, but I have never seen a soldier with hay tied on his back to feed his horses. When the horse is hungry, it will also be passive and slack, and it will not be able to run fast.
Just now I scolded at the edge of the city, the Khitan people were carrying it hard in the bare wilderness, but the Jin soldiers ate and drank spicy food in the city, and now they are all in good spirits. The Khitans added, and the Jin soldiers also added, and they soon caught up, turning into a hand-to-hand battle.
When he arrived at this field, Yeluzhao had no choice but to order to return to the horse and fight to the death, and the Jin soldiers had already caught up, and if they ran down, the army's morale was scattered, but it really became a rout. Back and forth, after two blows, the horn of the Jin soldiers was blown, and they actually retreated.
He was anxious about the battle situation in Mayi, and he longed to grow wings and fly back. Seeing that the Jin soldiers had retreated, he also automatically collected his troops and retreated in the direction of Mayi. But before the Khitan soldiers had withdrawn far, the Jin soldiers chased after them again, and then there was another fight.
Once or twice, the Khitans can still muster up the courage to fight to the death with the Jin soldiers. But I punched desperately, and it was like hitting cotton. People don't fight with you at all, "ping pong" parry a few times, and people will run away. I had no horsepower, I couldn't catch up with him, I retreated and retreated slowly, and after a while, the Jin soldiers rushed up again, and there was another "ping-pong" fight.
After such repeated confrontations 3 or 4 times, the Khitan soldiers turned blue, their lips trembled, their feet were numb, their hands were stiff, whether they were shooting arrows, controlling horses, or taking out weapons to fight, they always felt unmotivated, and they were always one step slower than the Jin soldiers. After a while, it was all hanging colors, everyone was cold and afraid, and they couldn't wait to fly back to Mayi quickly, find a stove, and hold Nuan. As soon as the army's heart was scattered, the formation became chaotic, and they gradually became disobedient to the command. When the Jin soldiers caught up, the people behind had already been cut down, and the people in front were still desperately beating their horses and running forward.
The rout, in a moment it will become a rout.
When he arrived at such a field, Yeluzhao also understood that he had been tricked again today. But it was obvious that he was still chasing just now, why did he become so embarrassed after a while. If you continue like this, if you can't reach Mayi, your 2ooo people will be wiped out.
It is impossible to retreat with the whole body, half of it stays, desperately fighting to the death, alleviating the pursuit of the Jin soldiers, and at least ensuring that the other half can return to Mayi. As for the Ma Yi... The Khitan military law is severe, and he has been defeated repeatedly, if Ma Yi is also attacked and missed, he is estimated to be unable to escape death, rather than this, it is better to stay and fight to the death. He was ruthless, stepped forward on his horse, cut down a few sergeants who had fled for their lives, and shouted: "The left army retreats, and the right army follows me to block the enemy." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and rushed towards the Jin soldiers. The Khitans are really thirsty for killing, and in this kind of situation, the morale of the army is shaken and extremely unfavorable, there are still 3oo people who follow Yeluzhao and rush over reflexively. But many more have chosen to turn a deaf ear.
The praying mantis blocks the car, and it is beyond its strength. These 3oo people have the intention to kill the enemy, but they have no power to return to the sky. With the support of only a mouthful of courage, he fought to the death. The guns came and went, and the screams were repeated.
At this point, Zhao Kuangyin naturally would not choose to retreat again, he raised his spear, 1,500 people, and rushed over without hesitation. 3oo Khitans, in an instant, were swallowed up by the Jin soldiers. The courage that was as hot as fire was quickly extinguished by the heavy snow and the raging waves of the Jin soldiers. The bloodshot snowflakes stained the white official road, leaving only the remnants of the horse's "cry".
Due to Yeluzhao's resistance, the remaining Khitan soldiers finally abandoned their armor and ran back to Mayi City. On the castle tower, pennants hunt. It was still the banner of the Khitan, and the captain breathed a sigh of relief, and he was still worried after seeing General Yelu.
He rode across the moat, came to the city gate, and shouted, "The army is back to the city, and the door is opened!! ”
With the sound of "squeak", the eight-meter-high iron gate was slowly pushed open, and the captain led the remnants of more than 1,000 Khitan troops into Mayi City.
People are numb from the cold, and they can still stay a little awake in front of the pursuers, knowing that they are holding the reins and desperately escaping. When they arrived in the city, their spirits were relaxed, and many Khitan soldiers fell off their horses involuntarily with their bodies crooked. Some climbed down from their horses and sat down in the snow and gasped for breath, while many more rushed into the street to find a stove to keep warm. Whether it was a spear or a broadsword, they were all thrown to the ground. No one looked at them again. Horses, let them scatter their own flowers, and no one thought to feed them some forage. The surprise of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe is their only feeling.
Finally back to the city safely! All of them seemed to let out a long breath.
"Ah", a scream came from the homes of the people on the street. A man was covered in blood, his shoulder was cut off, and he ran out with a rolling belt, and said intermittently: "Yes... Yes... Submit... ”
Before he could finish speaking, the horn sounded "woo". The inner city wall was filled with soldiers with bows and crossbows, and the targets of the bows and arrows were the Khitan soldiers who had just entered the city. "Squeak", the heavy door slowly closed. I don't know when, under the hole of the city gate, kneeling or half-squatting or standing, there were three rows of archers neatly occupied, and in front of them were antlers used to block horses. A rattling sound came from the roof, and when I looked up, the roof was filled with archers.
The city of Mayi is broken!
The screams kept coming from the people's homes, presumably because the sergeants who had just gone in were all poisoned.
In an instant, the Khitan sergeant jumped up from the ground violently, stretched out his hand to draw his sword, and touched the knife, all with empty hands. They only reacted, after all, they had all been dropped on the snow just now. When they bent down to pick it up, "whoosh", the rain of arrows came overwhelmingly, and some people were directly nailed to the ground.
More people didn't care about the arrows on their bodies, and they didn't care about finding horses, but they just picked up their weapons and rushed desperately to the city gate under the leadership of the captain.
If it is in the wild, these desperate Khitans may soon be able to break out of the encirclement. But this is in the city, the streets in the city are narrow, and there are up to eight people walking side by side. In addition, the Khitan army was dispersed in a hurry just now. It is even more difficult to concentrate forces and make breakthroughs in key areas. If you say that on the streets, there are only people shooting arrows on the roofs on both sides. In front of the city gate, not only did they attack the crossbow in front, but there were also many crossbowmen on the city wall. Under the rain of arrows, every step forward has to pay for dozens of lives.
Just before they rushed to the rejection of the deer and horses, the city gate actually "squeaked" open, and the Khitans were boiling, and if they escaped, they might be able to survive. Ignoring the rain of arrows, they hurriedly pushed away the giant deer horse, and at this time, the Jin soldiers in the city gate cave had already retreated outside the city. And outside the city, the sound of horses "calling", more than 1,000 teams of iron cavalry, waiting for them...
