Chapter 146: Rescue Reinforcements
The 20,000 Liao soldiers who had lost their horses were surrounded by them in the mountain gorge, unable to advance or retreat, and the food had been eaten. But at this time, the prince in front of him rushed out with his men and horses, which made Utabegus very troubled.
There is one thing that Chen Yuan and they don't know at all, in order to win this battle, Uta Begu also moved more than 2,000 people from the Wanyan tribe, and he now has 5,000 Jurchens by his side! It's all a raw girl!
Otherwise, even if there were traps and terrain, he would not be sure that he would be able to trap the more than 17,000 elite soldiers of Yelu Gollum.
With 2,000 more men, Utabegus easily relied on this gorge to put Jellene Gollum, who had lost his ability to maneuver, into a predicament.
The Liao soldiers had launched many charges and wanted to rush out from here, but in the face of these almost savage guys who had lived in the deep mountains and old forests since they were children, they seemed to be able to turn themselves into corpses in addition to leaving the corpses of their companions and escaping back.
If there was a little way, Yelu Gollum really wouldn't have gone to Yelu Hongji for help.
There are no other Liao troops in this vicinity, and there is no hurry to go back and move the rescue troops, the Liao people's war materials have always been very small, and a few days of siege have already turned the baggage carts into empty carts.
Uta Bezo will succeed in no time, as long as it takes two more days.
For Yelu Hongji behind him to come to the rescue, Uta Begu was also prepared, he specially prepared a team of 500 people, harassing all the way, sneak attack.
According to his thoughts, after those Liao soldiers were attacked, they would definitely flee back, or choose a place to hold on. But the development of things surprised him, those Liao people were still moving forward.
"Don't be a fool! The military territory of the Liao people is only more than forty miles behind me, and they are cavalry, it won't be long before they arrive! "Wanyan is like a deer, wearing a tiger skin of a white tiger, and appears next to Uta Beigu.
Not every Jurchen person wears a tiger skin. He wears a tiger skin, which means he has killed a white tiger! It's a symbol of bravery.
Uta said politely: "If you are like a deer-headed man, things are indeed different from what I thought, but there are not many problems, and it is very suitable for ambushes twenty miles behind you." We sent a thousand men and trapped those Liao soldiers there. ”
Ruru Lu said, "Why bother? You take it slow here, I'll take my two thousand over and kill those Liao people!" ”
Uta Begu thought for a moment: "Well, it's okay, anyway, those Liao soldiers are even more unbearable than the ones in front of us, plus we have already lost our courage when we attack all the way." I think the head man can completely defeat them. ”
Wan Yan Ruru laughed: "I'm just worried that if I take away two thousand people, will you be able to withstand it here?" ”
Utabegul's face was a little unhappy: "Chief! Are you insulting the warriors of our Uta tribe? ”
Wanyan Ruru didn't explain: "Okay, I can kill those Liao people in one night, I will definitely come back tomorrow morning, they shouldn't dare to break through at night, don't be Gutouren, then I'll go." ”
After he left with the two thousand men of the Wanyan tribe, Arta stood beside Uta Begu and said unconvinced: "Chiefman, he is insulting us, and when he returns, I will duel with him!" ”
Utabegu nodded: "Okay, but not right now." ”
Chen Yuan was finally attacked by a powerful force, that is, suddenly, a large number of Jurchens appeared in the surrounding mountains and forests, the density of bows and crossbows and spears suddenly increased a lot, and the howls of those people and wolves could be heard.
Chen Yuan remembered Yang Wenguang's words, although the road is narrow, he can't die in the mountains and forests! As soon as he saw that he couldn't move, he immediately formed a formation on the spot and resisted.
To say that these soldiers are indeed older, but because of this, their experience in saving their lives is quite rich, and no matter how well they understand the battle formation, at least when forming a formation, the speed is quite fast.
Those Jurchens were not in a hurry, and kept shooting in the woods. However, the archers of the Liao army could not hurt the Jurchens hiding in the trees, and were completely in a position of being beaten.
Chen Yuan looked at it for a while, and felt that it was really a scumbag to fight like this, and immediately wanted to boost morale, and slowly stood up from the group of people.
This stood up and immediately made him the main target of the Jurchens, and many bows and arrows and spears flew towards him.
Chen Yuan was unaware of this, and said loudly: "Brothers, there is a way of life and death,"
Before he finished speaking, Amu pulled Chen Yuan violently and dragged him down: "What are you doing!" ”
Chen Yuan only felt a few gusts of wind blowing overhead, and he didn't care, and said to Amuda: "It's getting dark this day, they may not be able to see me, I'll say a few words to boost morale." ”
Amu Da took off Chen Yuan's helmet and put it in front of him: "See for yourself." ”
When Chen Yuan saw it, his face suddenly turned white! The pointy thing on the top of the helmet was gone. Amuda smiled coldly: "Say a few more words and your head will be pierced!" ”
Chen Yuan immediately didn't say anything more, and honestly crawled among the crowd, really life and death, it depends on whose luck bears.
After dark, after those Jurchen bows and arrows and throwing spears lost a little accuracy, Chen Yuan and Xiao Guards were busy organizing soldiers and risking their lives to build some simple fortifications, so that the Jurchens could not easily rush down and attack them.
The construction of the fortifications did not go smoothly, and often after paying a heavy price to repair some mounds and wooden fences, some Jurchens came out of the mountains and forests and destroyed all these obstacles, and thousands of Liao soldiers were always in a situation where there was no danger to defend.
Seeing such a situation, Chen Yuan was not only afraid, but also had a hint of joy in his heart. On the one hand, he instructed the Liao soldiers to dig tunnels and hide in the tunnels to avoid sneak attacks on the mountains.
On the other hand, he thought in his heart that although the current situation was extremely unfavorable, those Jurchens still did not want to come down and fight with these thousands of Liao troops, which was enough to show that they might feel that they were not sure of victory, and they still wanted to force the Liao soldiers into the mountains and forests.
Then you won't go in! As Yang Wenguang said, death is here.
Moreover, the Jurchens' strategic materials were even more limited, and the density of arrows and throwing guns was now much less than before.
These Jurchens may really not expect that the Liao soldiers are willing to bear such a big loss and not enter the mountains and forests to hide, they want to fight quickly, and they may expect the Liao soldiers to enter the mountains and forests as soon as they encounter a blow, and then they can use the familiar combat methods to quickly break down the psychological defense line of the Liao soldiers, so that these thousands of Liao soldiers become their prey in panic! These Jurchens are not ready to fight them on this official road at all!
What Chen Yuan wants to do now is to continue to drag on the battle. And despite laying out some traps and obstacles, create a little bit of favorable conditions for the upcoming hand-to-hand combat.
Chen Yuan's idea was completely correct, after Yan Ruru threw the last throwing gun, he knew that he could only rush down to solve the battle.
A Jurchen next to him had some brains, and when he saw that Yan Ruru was about to rush down, he immediately dissuaded: "Touren, if we rushed down just now, we would definitely be able to win these Liao soldiers, but now that it is dark, and the Liao soldiers have also arranged obstacles, the most fearful time in their hearts has passed, and it must be a bloody battle if we go down now, and the casualties must be very large!" Think again! ”
Wan Yan Ruru didn't listen to the advice at all, he only thought about the Haikou he boasted in front of the Uta tribe, if he couldn't go back tomorrow morning, wouldn't it make those people of the Uta tribe laugh off their big teeth?
When Chen Yuan saw that the Jurchens' bows and arrows had stopped, he immediately whispered: "Everyone get ready!" The enemy may be coming down soon, so all shrink to the middle and keep the ranks tight! The archers are concentrated in the middle, and now they have been shot, and it is time for us to vent! ”
The most panicked time of the troops was really over, and the order was immediately whispered to the ears of every soldier.
Just now they dug a total of two trenches, and now let go of the first one, and all the Liao soldiers who are still alive are concentrated at the front of the second trench, holding the weapons in their hands, waiting to fight with each other.
After a stick of incense, as Chen Yuan expected, the Jurchens poured down all the bows and arrows and throwing spears in their hands, and they all landed near the first trench. Since the Liao army had shrunk, there were no losses.
This made the soldiers begin to believe Chen Yuan's words a little.
When those Jurchens howled and rushed to the first trench, Chen Yuan calmed down and said nothing.
The first batch of Jurchens jumped into the trench, did not find a single Liao soldier, and was immediately a little stunned, and before they could say a word to remind, the Jurchens behind also rushed over, and crossed the trench and killed in depth where the Liao soldiers were concentrated.
Chen Yuan obviously felt that his breathing was very rough, and listening to the voices of those Jurchens getting closer and closer, he finally shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”
If it was Yang Wenguang, he would definitely wait a little longer. Chen Yuan also knew that the closer he was, the more lethal it would be to the other party, but the depressed feeling in his heart made him give this order a little early.
The bows and arrows of the Liao soldiers were shot one after another, and the screams of the Jurchens were heard from the opposite side. However, those Jurchens were really fierce, and braved a rain of arrows, and some people still rushed over.
In the dark night, the dense formation of the Liao soldiers took a great advantage, as soon as they saw that the enemy rushed over, the Liao soldiers did not look at the number and direction, according to the usual training method, two rows of spears stabbed forward, and many brave Jurchens were pierced to death by the Liao soldiers.
The archers still did not stop firing, which ensured the fragmentation of the Jurchen formations that rushed through, and there was a famous saying in the forest that no matter how brave the tiger was, he should not challenge the authority of the wolves. Now, those Jurchens seemed to be brave tigers, rushing towards the wolf pack composed of Liao soldiers one after another, only to be devoured by the wolves.
