Gao Zhong wore a mask, like the image of the god of war, which was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making the Liao soldiers fearful, trembling, and already timid and demoralized before the battle.

On the contrary, the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and Gao Zhong gave them more encouragement, which made them excited, how could their generals not be happy if they were so brave and invincible.

Although the Liao army had an invincible heavy armored army, it lost its morale, which doomed them to defeat, and Yelu successfully fought on the battlefield for many years and saw it better than anyone else.

The Song army was as imposing as a grandiose, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became, and under the leadership of Gao Chong, the Liao army was defeated and retreated, and there was no power to fight back. Even the heavily armored army is helpless.

At the same time, the Eastern Route Army approached Huai'an County, and Xiao Jun and others could not hold out, it was not a life-and-death battle at all, but more like a delaying tactic.

Zhao Gou had already passed down an order, telling them to fight quickly and seize the county seat of Huai'an. When Lu Junyi received the order and what Zhao Gou said, he knew it in his chest, so he did not fight according to the agreement, lined up and waited for the formation to be broken, but rushed up and quietly approached Huai'an City.

When Xiao Jun and others came, Lu Junyi had already ordered people to stay on the city wall overnight, telling them not to be discovered, and then waiting for the order to attack.

Sure enough, Xiao Jun's actions were exactly the same as Zhao Gou expected. No matter how Lu Junyi and the others shouted, they just ignored it.

Lu Junyi ordered the war drums to beat louder, and he also ordered a strong siege of the city, but he did not attack immediately, but let the soldiers attached to the city wall take the first step, and when they were almost there, he officially gave the order, but he did not expect the effect to be surprisingly good.

It was too late for Xiao Jun to stop him, and Song Jun had already hit the city gate. If it weren't for Yelu's successful battle book, how could they easily approach the city gate, and they could only watch now.

Now they have no soldiers in their hands, only light cavalry and infantry, and the problem is that as soon as the city gates are opened, they simply don't have enough people to stuff their teeth.

In the end, Xiao Jun and others could only be captured, and Huai'an County was also lost, so the next thing was the loss of Huairen County; Soon, the Song army obtained two county seats, and then led the army to Datong County.

As for the Western Road army led by Song Jiang, it launched an attack from Tiancheng County, and then marched north, passing through Changqing, Fengyi, and then to Datong County.

Yelu Cheng, as the general of the Western Road Army, stationed all the troops in Tiancheng County, but unfortunately his temperament was not stable enough, he was too anxious, and he couldn't stand the provocation of the Song army, so he ignored Yelu's successful order to go out of the city to meet the battle, was killed, and the city was broken!

Song Jiang led the army and drove straight into Datong County.

"General Yelu, the situation has become clear, Yunzhou will be occupied by our army sooner or later." Zhao Gou saw that Yelu was successfully surrounded, so he asked everyone to stop attacking temporarily, and kindly persuaded, "If you resist again, I'm afraid it will be a senseless sacrifice, so it's better to surrender!" In the name of the commander of the Song army, I will guarantee you, and I will never hurt you in the slightest, and as long as you surrender, the soldiers who follow you will not be harmed in any way. ”

"Haha! ......" Yelu Chenggong looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Your Excellency has your heart to understand, but as the commander of an army and a descendant of the Daliao royal family, only Yelu who died in battle succeeded, and Yelu who did not surrender was successful." ”

"Stupid!" Zhao Gou scolded, "Emperor Liao is too busy to take care of himself, and he can't come to rescue you at all." If you continue to resist, you can only die! General Yelu, have you ever thought that the soldiers around you also have families, do you also care about their lives and deaths? ”

"As the King of Da Liao Liang, my Yelu success cannot live up to the trust of the imperial court, nor can I live up to those generals who died in battle."

Jerod Chenggong said steadfastly, "No matter what, I will never surrender." However, I have one thing to ask for, can I say yes? ”

"General, please!"

"Today, I know that I am defeated, and I have no face to face the emperor or the generals." Yelu Chenggong was like confessing his last words, "I know that I will die today, so I implore the great commander, and after I die, please spare them." ”

"General Yelu, as long as you ......," Zhao Gou hurriedly said.

Yelu Chenggong shook his head, smiled slightly, and interrupted: "General Zhao's kindness is appreciated in my heart. You and I are our own masters, and besides, I can't live, only die. If you want to die, it is better to die in this land, and let my soul live here forever! ”

Zhao Gou wanted to stop it, but when he saw the firmness in Yelu Chenggong's eyes, he understood Yelu's intentions, and it was useless to save the mortal person, so it was better to fulfill his wish.

In addition, Zhao Gou also knew that Yelu could not stay if he succeeded. Even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid that he won't have the face to face his brothers, and he would rather die than surrender.

Moreover, Yelu's success has too much influence in Yunzhou. As long as he doesn't die, he can rest assured that those officials in the DPRK and China will not spare his life, and he will die in the end.

Instead of letting him endure insults, it is better to let him die in the land he loves and let him have a belonging.

Yelu successfully smiled at the sky, pulled out the scimitar in his hand, and resolutely pulled out the knife to kill himself. Suddenly, the skin on his neck was cut, a stream of blood slowly flowed down, and his body slowly softened, and his eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a trace of relief.

Maybe it was because of the years of fighting, and Yelu was tired of success, and he wanted to rest.

"Dashuai!"

Many Liao soldiers shouted to the sky, wept bitterly, laid down their weapons one after another, and fell to their knees. Then they also took up the sickness and died, and they killed themselves with Jerod.

Zhao Gou dismounted, walked in front of Yelu Chenggong, and bowed slightly. Because Yelu is also a generation of famous generals, he deserves Zhao Gou's respect.

"Command the three armies, beat the drums of war!"

A generation of generals LinkedIn fell, and Zhao gave him high enough treatment. not only beat the war drums, but also let the army line up, which can be regarded as a funeral for him. Moreover, Zhao Gou ordered that the corpses of Yelu Chenggong and his generals should be kept without any disrespect.

With Yelu successfully killing himself, the battle was won by the Song army. At the same time, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others also came, which meant that the entire Yunzhou fell into the hands of the Song army.

After Zhao Gou entered the city, he found the only spy and ordered him to lead him to the brothers who had died in battle, and their bodies had already begun to decompose, and they were all placed in mass graves, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

In the end, Zhao Gou erected a tombstone at the place where they died in battle, called the 'Hero's Tomb'. In addition, Yelu Chenggong and his generals were also cremated and buried here.

Yelu's success in gaining Zhao Gou's respect was not a simple feat, but even if it was difficult, he was unwilling to embarrass the people in the city, and he regarded the people as the sky, which made him admire him very much, so Zhao Gou thought about persuading him to surrender and did not issue a killing order.

If Yelu Chenggong is as cruel and unkind as Yeluming, he doesn't care about the life and death of the people, and he doesn't treat the people of Yunzhou well. Even if he surrendered, Zhao Gou would not agree.

Now four of the sixteen states of Yanyun are under the control of the Great Song Dynasty, and the next twelve states are only a matter of time.

However, the matter is over here, but many unexpected things have happened in Zhao Yougong's place. Because of those troubles, Zhao Gou had to deal with it.
