632nd Battle of Song Liao 4

At this time, Yelu Zhongke also knew that if he continued to force like this, the Han troops in the camp would definitely be forced to turn back.

There was really no way, Yelu Zhongke had to let the soldiers wait here first, and he went to ask Yelu Yanxi.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor slept with the concubines who accompanied the army early. Who would dare to alarm His Majesty at this time.

Yelu Zhongke had no choice but to order the soldiers to stop the attack temporarily, and only then did he bury the pot and cook, so that the Han army, who had fought for a day, could have a full meal. As for the palace division army, these pro-guard troops had already eaten when they were changing shifts.

Of course, as a seasoned veteran, Yelu Zhongke must have arranged for someone to defend on the first line of the chest wall.

But not long after he fell asleep, a fire suddenly broke out on the north bank of the Luan River, which made the Liao Han army and the palace army on the south bank feel awe.

Because the fire was so fierce that it was near the water, the nearby soldiers tried their best to get water, but they were never able to extinguish the fire. What's more, from the outside, this fire looks like a fire dragon running through the entire north bank of the Luan River, as if there is no end in sight.

The power of God descended from the sky, or was it done by Song Jun?

Yelu Zhongke believed that this was the work of the Song army, but the Han army under his command and part of the palace army did not think so, and now all the Han troops who were still alive in the camp knelt down in the face of the fire, praying desperately, hoping that the gods would spare them.

After experiencing the one-sided massacre during the day, the hearts of all the Han soldiers in Liao were almost on the verge of collapse, and this fire became the best fuse. They didn't even go to the rescue of the Han brothers who stayed on the north bank of the Luan River in a sea of fire, and the screams of being burned by the unquenchable fire resounded throughout the Luan River position.

"What's going on? Who is shouting outside, and dares to disturb my rest? There was such a big movement outside, Yelu Yanxi was finally woken up by a pig, and he didn't sleep enough, the emperor was naturally very unhappy, and he rubbed his eyes and asked.

"Slave and maid damn it, Your Majesty, it's not that the soldiers outside are deliberately disturbing you, but that a fire suddenly broke out on the battlefield, and some Han soldiers didn't escape, so they screamed there?" His personal eunuch hurriedly pleaded guilty.

When Yelu Yanxi heard this, he frowned and didn't say anything else, the first person to be held accountable was of course the commander of the palace army: "How did Yelu Zhongke do it, are all the soldiers under his command eating dry food?" Why is there no defense? Hurry up and summon him, I'll ask about the situation!" ”

"Yes!" In response, the eunuch hurriedly came out of the big tent and instructed a small eunuch outside the tent to ask him to hurry up and summon Yelu Zhongke to meet His Majesty.

At this time, there were finally smart people in the Han army on the north bank, and some people saw that the fire on their bodies could not be extinguished, so they simply ran a few steps and plunged into the icy Luan River water. The fire was finally extinguished, but these 'smart people' woke up too late, and even if they temporarily avoided being burned to death, with the current level of medical care, the chances of these burned Han soldiers surviving were very small.

"Hahaha! It's so refreshing! My lord, this kind of fire oil is really amazing, and it doesn't even work with traditional fire extinguishing methods. You see that Liao army is rolling on the ground, but the fire on his body has not been extinguished. A military attache beside Pan Xiong looked at the sea of fire in front of him, smiling with a shy face, while carefully looking at the guard Budu Commander Envoy, at this time his heart was very smooth, but he was worried that this cold-faced Yan Luo would settle the score.

This military attache is the commander of the Xiangdu who is responsible for defending this section of the embankment fortifications, named Huang Keqi.

Although the battle during the day was fierce, Pan Xiong neither used the reserves in his hands, nor did he let the Song army, which was responsible for defending this section of the defense line, fight too fiercely.

It was precisely for this reason that the Song army lost a position on the breastwork.

To be honest, Pan Xiong's decision made Huang Keqi, who was in charge of commanding the battle at the scene, very unhappy. At that time, when Pan Xiong's order came down, Huang Keqi was about to be angry, so he went to point at Pan Xiong's nose and scold his mother.

Obviously had the ability to hold this line of defense, so that the Liao army could not cross the Luanhe River for a single step, but Pan Xiong actually asked him not to work too hard, and it didn't hurt to give up one or two sections of the breastwork.

At that time, it seemed that Pan Xiong's order was completely chaotic, and Huang Keqi had the intention to disobey the order, but Pan Xiong's personal soldiers who came to convey the order also said that if Huang Keqi did not obey the orders of the commander, then Huang Keqi would be dismissed from his post on the spot, and he would be replaced by the deputy commander, and if the deputy commander also refused, he would take Huang Keqi's place.

To be honest, as Pan Xiong's personal soldier, his status is naturally superior in the army, but he still didn't personally lead the army to fight, so the guard who came to convey the order couldn't wait for the chief officer of this box to disobey.

As soon as he heard this, Huang Keqi had to grit his teeth and accept Pan Xiong's chaotic life.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the capital actually had such a high move, and without much effort, he destroyed the Liao army of more than 10,000 people with just one fire. As for the Liao soldiers who were burned to death, they shouted out in Chinese, but they were actively ignored by the generals and soldiers of the Song army.

Before going into battle, Cai Dao and Pan Xiong both said that among the Liao soldiers opposite, although many of them spoke the same words as themselves, and their appearance was no different, they were already Liao people, not Song people.

Kill, kill those who don't surrender, kill those who dare to hold a weapon in front of the Song army, even if he is just a hunter or a pauper. The Song army did not kill women and children, but it would not be soft on those who threatened their own lives, and this was the way Cai Dao gave them to survive in the local territory.

Mercy for the Gentiles is cruelty to oneself and to one's brothers in the same camp.

This situation had already happened during their march, but because the Song army was very well guarded, there were not many people who really succeeded. The deaths are all those who are overflowing with love, or those who are faint with lust, especially the latter kind of soldiers, even if the Liao people do not kill him, if Pan Xiong catches him, he will also be beheaded for public display.

In this attack on Liao, Cai Dao formulated very strict military discipline, and also sent a law enforcement team composed of martial arts freshmen and recruits, which was made by Cai Dao into the team of the forbidden army gendarmerie, and they had to deal with this kind of scum in the army.
