Chapter XXVII: The Withdrawal of Troops and the Attack
Liu Jiqian saw that Yang Huaide and Yelu Longyun were fighting inextricably, and shouted: "Huaide, stop quickly!" He jumped off his horse and separated their weapons with his broadsword, and they stopped.
Yang Huai pulled off the mask and said, "Uncle Liu, let me kill him, and the Liao Kingdom will not dare to play prestige!" ”
Liu Jiqian said: "Huaide, you are young, you think things too simply, and you almost caused a big disaster!" ”
Liu Jiqian shouted to Yang Huaixing and Liu Keshi: "You two take him away!" ”
Yang Huaixing and Liu Keshi ran over and grabbed Yang Huaide's arm and wanted to take him away.
Yelu Longyun shouted: "Wait, General Liu, I haven't seen you for many years, do you remember what happened back then?" ”
Liu Jiqian said: "King Jin, of course I remember. ”
Yelu Longyun walked up to Yang Huaide, looked at Yang Huaide carefully again, he was surprised, and said, "Like me, you are the Yang Huaide who has been to my palace, right?" ”
Yang Huaide felt inexplicable, Yelu Longyun not only did not hold a grudge against him, but smiled, Yang Huaide replied: "Your servant deceived my sister, and I went to your house to find someone." ”
Yelu Longyun asked eagerly, "Do you also have tattoos on your arms with the head of a bull and a horse?" ”
Yang Huaide was a little disgusted and said, "You don't have to worry about this. ”
Yelu Longyun's face suddenly became angry, and he turned to Liu Jiqian and shouted: "Liu Jiqian, you are insidious and vicious, killing my people, and adopting my son as my enemy, you have evil intentions!" ”
Yelu Longyun's guards immediately surrounded him, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Liu Jiqian said: "King Jin, you are mistaken, Yang Huaide is from Daizhou, Shanxi, and his parents are still alive, how can it be your son?" ”
"You see how much he looks like me, and he is the same age as my missing son, and he also has tattoos on his arms with the head of a bull and a horse, which is the mark of our family!" That's right, he's my son, Jerodashi! ”
Liu Jiqian said: "King Jin, I just found your enemy, he is the cronies of the Empress Dowager Liang of the Xia Kingdom, he does not hide the black wind, his appearance is exactly the same as the leading general you said, and some people said that there was indeed a team from the Liao State that night, and entered the Xia Kingdom through my Song Realm. ”
Yelu Longyun said to himself: "If you don't hide the black wind, who can you?" What enmity do I have against him? ”
Yelu Longyun saw that Yang Huaide refused to recognize him as his father, he returned to his horse and said to Liu Jiqian: "Liu Jiqian, I believe you for the time being, and I will come to you again when I investigate clearly, you are optimistic about my son, one hair less, I will settle accounts with you!" With that, he slapped his horse and left.
Yang Huaide was confused when he heard it.
On the way back to Xiazhou City, Liu Jiqian told the three of them about Yelulong's transportation of troops to besiege Kehu Village more than ten years ago, and the three of them understood what happened.
Liu Keshi said: "It turns out that Yelu Longyun is so powerful, even Dad, you are not his opponent!" ”
Liu Jiqian said: "Yes, the Liao State is strong and strong, and it is still too early to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from the Liao State!" ”
Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing returned to the tent, Yang Huaide wiped his dragon descending pear spear with a red cloth, and asked, "Huaixing, do I look like Yelu Longyun?" ”
Yang Huaixing replied: "It does look a little similar." ”
Yang Huaide asked again: "Why don't you have tattoos on your arms with bull's head and horse's head?" ”
Yang Huaixing replied: "I don't know, big brother, don't think about it, no one said that you were not born to your parents!" ”
Yang Huaide's troubled mood calmed down.
The next day, Zhong Shidao led 30,000 men and horses to retreat to Qingjian City, and Liu Jiqian led 2,000 men and horses back to Linzhou, and he arranged for Wang Yuan to lead Yang Huaide and three men and 1,000 infantry to set off on the third day.
Early in the morning of the third day, a herald came to report that Heifeng led 5,000 cavalry to surround Xiazhou City, and called the generals of the Song army defending the city to answer.
Wang Yuan and Yang Huaide came to the head of the city, did not hide the black wind and rode on the horse, looking high, and shouted: "The nameless general in the city quickly open the door and surrender, otherwise, the city will be ruined and people will die." ”
Wang Yuan shouted: "I, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, allow you to sue for peace, we will return all the walled cities to you, you have to withdraw the troops, we can withdraw the troops." ”
Wuzang Heifeng sneered: "You only have one way to surrender. ”
Wang Yuan said: "You don't believe in your words. ”
Wuzang Heifeng sneered: "It's just that you Song monarchs and ministers are cowardly and incompetent, as long as we say hello to the Great Liao Kingdom, your emperor will be frightened." The surrounding Xia Jun also laughed.
The Song army in the city was so angry that his face was flushed, and Yang Huaide said: "Brother Wang Yuan, I'll go down and teach him a lesson, let him still be rampant!" ”
Wang Yuan said: "Don't be angry, they are all uncivilized barbarians, everyone should guard the city first." ”
Wang Yuan returned to the mansion and convened a meeting of the big and small leaders, Wang Yuan said: "General Liu may not know that we are besieged, and the grain and grass are only enough for three days, we must break out of the siege tonight, we break through from the east, as long as we break out of the siege, we will quickly reach the boundary of our Great Song Jinning Army." ”
Yang Huaide said: "Brother Wang Yuan, I watched carefully just now, their men and horses are mainly deployed in the east and south, they have already guessed that we will break through from these two directions, if we rush over, we may be trapped by them." The north and west sides are less populous, so if we break through from the north and cross the hilly terrain to the grassland, we can reach Linju in the east. ”
Some objected, saying: "It is a long way to break through from the north, and we are all infantry and are likely to be overtaken by them, so it is better to rush out from the east in one go." ”,
Wang Yuan said: "If we take advantage of the darkness to take the small road, it will be difficult for the Xia cavalry to catch up, so we will break through from the north according to Yang Huaide's suggestion. ”
At midnight, the north city gate was opened, Wang Yuan and Yang Huaide led a thousand Song troops to rush to the Xia camp, these Xia cavalry had dismounted to rest or sleep, the Song army rushed over to make them helpless, everyone did not love to fight, rushed out of the Xia army surrounded, along the path in the middle of the hills to the north, only a small number of Xia chasing soldiers.
About an hour or so, around a large sand pile to reach the grassland, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, just about to sit down to rest, suddenly, around the torches everywhere, the Xia cavalry has blocked the road in front, led by the black wind is not hidden.
I only heard him laugh and say: "Wang Yuan, hurry up and let your people surrender, otherwise, the big sand pile will be your burial place." ”
Wang Yuan said: "Our Great Song soldiers are not afraid of death, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Wang Yuan said to Yang Dehuai and the others: "Keshi, you and I will first take five hundred people along the edge of the hill to encircle, and then Huaide and Huaixing will lead five hundred people to break through to the north, and then go east." ”
Wang Yuan and Liu Keshi rushed to the east, did not hide the black wind and led people to intercept Wang Yuan in the east, Yang Huaide and Yang Huaixing saw that the people and horses of the Xia Kingdom were scattered, the two danced the dragon pear flower spear, hit the human body, hit the horse's legs, and killed a road, the remaining Song army followed the two to the north, and was about to rush out of the encirclement, the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom suddenly released arrows, Yang Huaixing was hit by arrows in both legs, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrows, bandaged well, but the blood quickly oozed out, and his legs trembled.
Yang Huaide shouted: "Huaixing, you hold on!" ”
Yang Huaide approached a Xia cavalryman, pointed his spear on the ground, jumped up, kicked him off his horse, turned around to help Yang Huaixing get on his horse, and shouted: "Huaixing, you go east first, I will cover you." ”
Yang Huaixing shouted: "Big brother, let's go together." ”
Yang Huaide shouted: "You go first, I will catch up immediately." After speaking, he slapped the horse's buttocks, the horse hurt, and ran eastward, a part of the Song army followed Yang Huaixing to rush out of the encirclement, and Yang Huaide retreated north.
Let's say that Wang Yuan and Liu Keshi rushed out of a distance, and they were surrounded by black wind balls that were not hidden, Wang Yuan had many injuries on his body, and blood flowed, and said to Liu Keshi: "Let's climb this big sand pile first, and then make plans." ”
Liu Keshi helped Wang Yuan and shouted: "Everyone go to the sand, hurry!" ”
Climbing to the top of this fifty-meter-high sand pile, Wang Yuan felt that he couldn't support it anymore, and said, "Liu Keshi, you take people down from behind and walk east along the path." ”
Liu Keshi replied: "Okay, then what should you do?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "Listen to the order, I have my own way." ”
Liu Keshi led everyone to slide down the sand pile from behind, and when he looked back, Wang Yuan shouted to him: "Liu Keshi, tell your father, help me take care of my father." With that, he pulled out his dagger and killed himself.
Liu Keshi shouted: "Brother Wang Yuan! Don't! Tears welled up in his eyes, and he wiped them and ran east with everyone.
It is said that Yang Huaide led a part of the Song army to retreat to the north, and the Xia cavalry pursued closely, and finally retreated to a high platform, and Yang Huaide commanded everyone to block the intersection with wood and gravel, so that the Xia cavalry could not approach.
stayed up like this until dawn, as soon as Yang Huaide counted, there were more than 200 Song troops following him, Yang Huaide felt heavy, thinking that the first time I led the troops, I must bring these people out.
Yang Huaide came to the entrance of the high platform and saw that the Xia cavalry was eating on the ground, Yang Huaide's eyes lit up, and he said to the surrounding Song army: "The Xia cavalry is dismounting and eating, and we will rush out while they are relaxed." ”
Everyone quickly picked up their weapons, Yang Huaide was the first to jump out of the exit, everyone followed him closely, like a hungry tiger descending the mountain, Yang Huaide raised his gun and stabbed down two Xia cavalry, these Xia cavalry just ate the food in their mouths and had to spit it out, Yang Huaide led everyone to take advantage of the chaos to rush out of the encirclement.
Looking back, there were still more than 20 soldiers surrounded, and Yang Huaide said to the tired soldiers around him: "You go first, I'll rescue them." ”
Yang Huaide rushed back alone and shouted to the surrounded Song army: "Everyone lean towards me and follow me." ”
As soon as everyone saw that Yang Huaide was back alone, they all gathered over, and everyone rushed in one direction close together.
Suddenly, the surrounding Xia cavalry dispersed, and a cavalry of the Dangxiang tribe surrounded them, and they cranked the horse rope in their hands, and shouted at the same time, shouting: "Catch these Han people and make us slaves." ”
A rope noose flew in, Yang Huaide dodged sideways, and another one was thrown over, Yang Huaide picked it with a gun, but pulled the man off the horse, and Yang Huaide lost his strength.
At this time, the three party members threw out the horse rope together, Yang Huaide was tightly lassoed and couldn't break free, and the other Song soldiers were also captured, and Yang Huaide and others were taken to the local tribe and imprisoned.
