Chapter 641: Pursuit
War horses are neighing, weapons are chopping, the passion of iron and blood is being staged, the cavalry of the Song and Liao countries is launching a retreat battle on this cold plain, the majestic Khitan iron cavalry in the past, at this time it plays the role of the pursued party, the elite Song cavalry is like a group of hungry wolves, from time to time to pounce on the Khitan iron cavalry to bite off a piece of meat, which also leads to fewer and fewer Khitan cavalry, and the counterattack is becoming more and more powerless.
However, this is only a part of the battlefield, and on the other side of the battlefield, there is a more grand battle, the general Guo Zun personally led a cavalry of tens of thousands of people, and is launching a thorough interception of the retreating Liao army, and in the rear of the Song cavalry, the city gate of Gubeikou has also been opened, and one after another team of Song troops are killed from the city, and they are about to catch up with the retreating Liao army.
The Liao army of nearly 80,000 people retreated, and such a large-scale action could not hide the eyes of the Song army at the head of the city, not to mention that the Song army had already guessed that the Liao army was running out of food and morale, so as soon as the Liao army moved, the Song army also reacted immediately.
The middle army of the Liao army, Yelu Zongzhen looked at the Song army in the rear with a gloomy face, although he had long expected that the Song army would not let them go easily, but he did not expect the Song army's counterattack to be so fierce, the cavalry used to break the rear could not withstand the impact of the Zi army at all, and the fold had collapsed, and in desperation, he could only send the elite around him again to resist the cavalry of the Song army, but it was soon precarious, seeing that the Song army was about to break through the blockade in the rear.
"Your Majesty, the battle situation is unfavorable, please take the first step for Your Majesty, and the minister will command here!" At this time, Yeluren next to him stepped forward and asked loudly, since Yelu Zongzhen agreed to withdraw from the army, the punishment of Yelu Renxian was also revoked, and now seeing that the battle situation is unfavorable, for the sake of Yelu Zongzhen's safety, Yeluren Xian suggested that he take a step first.
"No, if I leave first, the army's morale will definitely be more unstable, and it will be more difficult for you to resist the impact of the army!" Yelu Zongzhen was very calm, and at this time he also refused loudly, after all, he was the emperor of the Liao State and the pillar in the heart of the Liao army, if even he ran away, the Liao army, which was already unstable, might collapse immediately.
Yelu Renxian naturally knew the importance of Yelu Zongzhen to the army's heart, but the Song army behind was about to break through the intercepted army, if they were allowed to enter the Chinese army, it would be too late for Yelu Zongzhen to leave.
"Your Majesty, now that the situation is in crisis, it is better for you to leave the car and leave first under the escort of the personal guards, as long as the car is there, the soldiers will not know that Your Majesty is leaving." Yeluren suggested again at this time.
However, Yelu Zong instinctively rejected it after hearing it, with his pride, he really didn't want to sneak away like a mouse under the pursuit of the Song army, if it was spread in the future, I am afraid he would have no face to be a man.
"Boom~" However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a loud noise behind me, and then there was a great chaos in the Liao army responsible for the break, and the screams were one after another, it turned out that the main Lin Yu of the Song army chased after him, and used artillery, and then the musket army also killed, and the Liao army after the break finally couldn't resist, when the wounds were numerous, the rest of the Liao army also fled.
After the break, the Liao army collapsed, Guo Zun immediately led the cavalry to kill the Liao army from the flank, and finally cut the Liao army into two sections, and the main force of the Song army in the rear also advanced rapidly, and the Liao army in the back section was entangled, and Guo Zun's cavalry attacked again, and actually killed the Liao army in the front half.
"Such a big ambition, he wants to leave all of us behind!" Yelu Zongzhen saw the battle situation in the rear, and immediately said with hatred, but the rear army was defeated, and Guo Zun's cavalry also came immediately, if the Song cavalry was really entangled, I am afraid that all of them would have to be confessed here.
"Please Your Majesty take the first step, and the minister will lead the army to stop the Song army!" Seeing this situation first, Yeluren immediately roared again, and after speaking, he gave Yeluzhi a look, and then led a cavalry to the rear.
Yelu Zhirang also understood what Yelu Renxian meant, and immediately commanded the Su guards to escort Yelu Zongzhen to leave first, and at this time, Yelu Zongzhen did not refuse again, after all, if he had any accidents, the consequences would be even more serious.
"Boom boom~" Di Qing led a cavalry and the Liao army to leave, but then the Liao army let out a roar, one by one grenades were thrown into the Liao army, although this thing can't kill people, but it has a miraculous effect on the war horse, even the best war horse can't stand the roar of the grenade, not to mention that the grenade can also hurt the horse's belly, it can be said that as long as it is used properly, the cavalry can be restrained to death.
Behind the cavalry led by Di Qing, there were rows of musket troops, when they disrupted the Liao cavalry, these musket troops rushed forward in rows, and the neat gunfire fell the Liao army in pieces, and then there were knives and axes to clear the field, and the three arms cooperated tacitly, making their rush and kill speed also extremely fast.
At the same time, Guo Zun's cavalry also began to entangle with the front army of the Liao army, Yelu Zongzhen also left under the escort of Yelu Zhirang at this time, and the front army naturally had other generals to command, but because of the lack of food, the Liao army had no food in the army, and it was able to hold on at first, but as time went by, not only were people unable to wield weapons, but even horses were unable to run anymore.
Yeluren first led a Su guard army to intercept Guo Zun's cavalry, but he soon found that his soldiers were unable to fight, which made him also anxious, and immediately shouted: "If the Song army breaks the formation, you and I will die without a place to be buried, only by killing the Song army, you and I will have a chance to live, and kill the enemy with this general!" ”
As soon as Yelu Renxian's words came out, the guards around him also yelled very knowingly, conveying the meaning of his words, and this also made the hungry Liao army finally cheer up a little, after all, Yelu Renxian said well, if the Song army broke through the blockade, then none of them wanted to live.
Seeing that his subordinates had recovered some morale, Yeluren immediately led this cavalry to kill the Song army, and the cavalry led by Guo Zun was also looking for the traces of Yelu Zongzhen, and when he saw the Su Guard led by Yeluren first, he immediately led the army to kill, and then the two cavalry collided together, once again stirring up waves on the battlefield, and the two armies of Song and Liao on the entire battlefield were also completely intertwined, no matter what the victory or defeat, this Chen battle will be recorded in the history of Song and Liao.
