The Huliu River became the battlefield of the Song and Liao Wars, and the quiet river flowed slowly; The clear waters of the river were muddy under the iron hooves of the army. Because it is autumn, the river water has dropped sharply, and even pedestrians can easily wade through, which has also become the venue of the great war, just like the 'Chu River Han Boundary'.

40,000 people gathered on the Huliu River, trampling on the river and fighting, one by one falling into the river, the blood from the wounds continued to flow, and the river watered. Blood stained the earth red, dyed the Huliu River red, like a long river of blood, which is still fresh in people's memories.

The river has been stained red with blood, and the battle continues, and the two sides continue to fight.

Gao Pet's brave and invincible, rampage, all the way to wherever he goes, wherever he kills, no one stops his pace; Yue Fei's exquisite marksmanship was also compared in front of the high favor who was like a killing god. At this moment, the killing on the Huliu River is continuing, the blood is flowing, and one by one it is falling, like hell on earth.

"The fittest survive, the strong are respected!"

The harshness of the battlefield is unimaginable, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and any decision does not affect the life and death of an individual, or even the life and death of an entire army. It can be said that as the commander of the first army, not to mention the loss of troops due to mistakes in decision-making, the loss of dominance is the most fatal threat.

One day for the general, for the whole life!

Since he embarked on this road, there was no choice, even if it was his own life and death, he could put it aside, only the city must not be lost.

"You are defeated, as long as you surrender, I promise that I will never kill you!"

Han Shizhong looked at Yelu Dequan intently, and saw that the river under his feet had been stained red with blood, and his heart was extremely heavy. However, this is not the time for him to be merciful, even if the blood in the river has his own subordinates, he still continues to fight ruthlessly.

"Haha!" Jerod laughed as if he had heard some funny joke, and sneered: "Now the war continues, and no one knows the outcome." Even if I am defeated, there will only be Jerod who died in battle, and there will never be Jerod who surrenders. ”

The battle between the two armies lasted for nearly two hours, and both the Song army and the Liao army were exhausted. Now the test is whose perseverance is more determined, and only those who are resolute can survive and achieve the final victory. However, as far as the eye can see, the Liao soldiers have collapsed.

The courage and invincibility of the high pets far exceeded their imagination, disrupting all their formations, charging into battle again and again, and retreating again and again. The soldiers of the Liao army were already afraid in their hearts, and the soldiers led by Gao Zhong followed behind him, charging into battle again and again, and they had already crushed their military hearts.

Defeat is only a matter of time!

Even so, Jerod refused to surrender. He and Han Shizhong are equally capable, and if they want to subdue each other, they won't be able to tell the winner for a while. Jerod glanced across the battlefield and saw that his army was in disarray.

"If you follow the advice of the adjutant general, you won't end up like this!"

Yelud felt a little guilty and a little remorseful in his heart, and his heart plummeted when he watched his brothers who were born and died with him die tragically under the iron hooves of the Song army. However, as a Khitan, he has been with wild beasts since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to surviving and fighting in a harsh environment.

It's just that the strength of the Song army is beyond his expectations, even if the strength is comparable, but the generals' skills are too far apart. Although he didn't know the name of the high favor, he didn't know his face. However, he saw that his subordinates fell in a pool of blood again and again, and he had nothing to do with this person, even if he faced him, he was bound to die, he didn't know that there were such figures in the Song army.

In addition to Gao Pet, there are also Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others who joined, making the originally evenly matched scene evolve into a one-sided situation. Jerod knew that he had been defeated, and as a general, he was mainly responsible, and he had lost the heart to retreat, and would never surrender even if he died in battle.

Han Shizhong fought with him again, and the Song Liao army continued to fight heartily, and the situation was already clear. The final result of the decisive battle between the two sides was the victory of the Song army, which was nothing more than a disastrous victory. If you really think about it, it's not a victory at all.

Half an hour later, Han Shizhong picked up Yelu Dequan with a shot, causing him to retreat backwards.

Yelud Quan looked again, and he and the remaining hundreds of soldiers had been surrounded by the Song army, and it was difficult to get out, and he shouted violently: "Kill!" ”

Han Shizhong saw Yeludequan resolutely rushing over, he ordered the archers to prepare, and one arrow after another roared out, aiming at Yelude and the remaining hundreds of soldiers. In an instant, they turned into a hornet's nest, Yelud fought to the last breath, and still had no intention of surrendering, Han Shizhong knew that he had to be a killer, so he no longer hesitated, let alone say more, to give them a good time.

With the death of Yelud and his subordinates, the Song army won this battle!

However, Han Shizhong couldn't be happy, even Gao Chong, Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei and others were silent. Because when you look at it, you don't see the riverbed, nor the muddy river, but the corpses of soldiers who died in battle, piled up like hills, and the blood continues to flow with the river; Some of the corpses were incomplete, either with broken arms or missing legs, or even missing heads, while others were trampled beyond recognition by iron hooves, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the corpses of some soldiers were scattered all over the ground.

Even though everyone has experienced battles large and small, they still feel a little uncomfortable when they really see the mountains of corpses, including their own subordinates and those brothers who share life and death.

After a fierce battle, the Song army won, Han Shizhong immediately counted the number of people, and only 5,000 people remained of the 20,000 army, that is, more than 15,000 people were lost, and the Liao army was completely annihilated. Moreover, Niu Gao and Wang Gui were also seriously injured, and countless generals were killed in battle.

Then, Han Shizhong ordered the battle report of this place to be reported to Zhao Gou. After Zhao Gou received the battle report, he was also not happy, and personally led the army to the Huliu River. When he saw the brothers who died in battle, and the corpses on both sides of the Huliu River, his heart was also heavy.

Zhao Gou ordered the army to clean up the battlefield, and all the corpses of Song soldiers were collected regardless of their height, and the Liao army's heavy armor, bows and arrows and other weapons were captured.

"Marshal, the last general has been derelict in his duties, and please deal with it by military law!" Han Shizhong led an army of 20,000 and lost more than half of his troops, which made him feel guilty. If we hadn't fought head-to-head, we probably wouldn't have killed so many brothers.

Zhao Gou glanced at Han Shizhong, and saw that he was covered in blood, pale, and depressed, he understood what Han Shizhong was thinking, and looked at Yue Fei, Gao Chong, Liu Guangshi and others, all of whom were also like this, with a heavy heart written on everyone's face.

"What a crime General Han has!" Zhao Gou helped Han Shizhong up, looked at everyone again, and said in a deep voice: "War is so cruel, only blood and flesh can cast a country like an iron bucket." If you want to do great things, you have to die. ”

"The strength of the Liao army is on par with our army, and the victory or defeat is mixed. Now that so many brothers have died in battle, it's not something that everyone wants to see. If it were me, I would have chosen to fight head-on. Because this place is not the Central Plains, but a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"The only way to fight this battle is to provoke the enemy generals and fight to the death, and there is no other way. If it is a protracted war, I am afraid that the losses of our army will be even more serious. In addition, it is even more unfavorable for us. General Han, there is no problem with your strategy, but we have roughly estimated the combat effectiveness of the Liao army, and you are not responsible for this, but the responsibility of the commander. ”

"Dashuai!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Zhao Gou waved his hand, signaling them not to speak, and then said: "As a general, you are in command of the three armies, and the life and death of the soldiers, and the victory or defeat of the battle depend on the generals. However, as a commander, I did not give you any support, and it was your merit to achieve victory, which is not your fault, but mine. ”

"War is so cruel, there are some things we can't face and have to face, only through the baptism of blood, can we understand what a general is. In this battle, our army was victorious, and this is an indisputable result. At this point, it's not the process that matters, it's the result that matters, you know? ”

"The brothers who died in battle now, they did not die in vain, but paved the way for us with their blood and flesh, a road to regain the lost land, so that outsiders no longer dare to bully the Great Song Dynasty. Now that the war is still going on, and casualties are inevitable, you should adjust your mood to meet a stronger enemy, not self-pity here, but regroup and create glory. ”

Everyone was silent again, and the words that Zhao Gou had said came to their minds. Even the military advisor Wu Yong was silent at the moment, in terms of age, Zhao Gou was much younger than them, and he could not compare with Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and others in terms of seniority in the army, but at this moment, he saw a longer term than anyone else, and his mentality was more correct than anyone else, which made everyone happy and convinced.
