Chapter 531: It's Too Late to Save the Driver (4)

Doomsday plus more, at least 15,000 words, unlimited on it, ask for votes. Asking unsubscribed readers to spend a few cents for a first subscription is very needed...... Guo Kui opened his mouth, and his guards left immediately.

The enemy quickly approached.

This may be the most cowardly battle in the history of the Khitan founding, and at first it was still resistant, seeing the Western Xia army pounced, ten thousand arrows were fired. One after another, many Western Xia soldiers fell from their horses, screaming again and again. More ......

Fall short together.

It happened to be facing the wind, and the wind was carrying the sand grains, and it hurt when it hit my face, and I couldn't open my eyes at all. Although the Khitan people were firing arrows, 999 out of a thousand people were indiscriminately firing arrows, which did not play much role at all.

The sand and dust are even stronger, even if you can open your eyes, you can't see clearly when you look at the other side, you can only see large black shadows rising in a yellow night, the sky and the earth are yellow, and these black clouds are more like devils who have emerged from hell.

In the face of this vision of heaven and earth, the bold Guo Kui also felt that his heart was beating wildly. Xiao Xiaoyou persuaded: "Your Majesty, quickly issue an edict to withdraw." ”

Guo Kui was stunned.

Xiao Xiaoyou is the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, an important minister of the Khitan, how can he say such nonsense? In this case, the situation is very bad, but if you persist and continue to fight, there is still a little bit of life. As long as there is a "withdrawal," the hearts of the three armed forces will be shaken, and they will be immediately defeated. In this desert area, the Khitan war horses were not adapted to the Western Xia horses, even if they fled, how many soldiers could escape?

But if they want to withdraw, then let's withdraw, leaned over and asked, "Your Majesty, is there a rear army?" ”

Liao Xingzong was dumbfounded, and all the troops brought it together, the rear army that came.

Guo Kui said: "Retreat to the southeast, just now I saw that the situation was not good, and sent someone to inform the rear, if it is in time." I will send a detachment of men and horses to protect Your Majesty's safety. ”

The Khitan monarchs and ministers were a little dumbfounded, our security needs the Song army to protect?

The monarch and the ministers were hesitating, and the generals could not give orders quickly, and the Tanguts had already pounced. Some of the Khitan soldiers saw that something was wrong, so they fled. Xiao Xiaoyou persuaded: "Your Majesty, withdraw quickly, not only Your Majesty, but also the crown prince......"

Guo Kui was also speechless, the Khitan expedition this time was like child's play, and Liao Xingzong not only came to command indiscriminately himself. He also called his baby son Yelu Hongji (as soon as he wrote this name, he couldn't help but think of Boss Jin's Tianlong Babu) from the rear and brought him to the front line, which was called to increase his military experience. If he does a good job, a male lord like Li Shimin can still take his son to see for a long time. Guan Jian came to the barracks, where nearly 200,000 troops were placed in the desert, and they went to negotiate peace without a fight. It took more than ten days to delay here. He also brought some officials to perform songs and dances for him in the barracks, and he went up and down. The barracks were in shambles. With this emperor, what can this prince learn?

Until now, I have not made up my mind, I want to withdraw as soon as possible, and I want to fight early, and there are those who command the operation like this. Yes, if Zheng Lang doesn't come to the front line and let Ge Huaimin command, it will be worse than Liao Xingzong.

Liao Xingzong looked left and right. I can't see clearly, I can only hear, the sound of fighting, the neighing of horses, the screams, all mixed up. But almost all of the screams were made by his own men. And the sound of the fight was all shouted by the Tangut people. Holding my breath, today is the time of the carnival of Western Xia. He said gloomily, "Withdraw." ”

The emperor himself fled, and the entire Khitan army began to flee together.

The fiasco really began.

Some of Guo Kui's surprises were not as analyzed before the war, let alone as Zheng Lang said, that Western Xia intended to let the Khitan Emperor go. Zheng Lang is right, the Khitan state has been established, even if the emperor and crown prince are here, the country has other heirs. Even if the 200,000 Khitan troops are left here and the Khitan vitality is greatly damaged, the Khitan can still mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to prepare for war. As long as you take a few years off to recuperate, this revenge will be avenged. …,

However, Western Xia never let go of their desertion. It is possible that this part of the desertion army has the largest number of troops and attracts people's eyes. But in the midst of the chaos, what if the Khitan Emperor is killed? The tense situation forced Guo Kui to cooperate with the Khitan soldiers many times to resist the Western Xia army that caught up behind. He killed more than a dozen Western Xia soldiers in succession.

Gradually, his bravery attracted Liao Xingzong's attention, and asked, "Does Guo Zun have anything to do with you?" ”

Because of Zheng Lang, Liao Xingzong occasionally paid attention to the situation of the various battles in Shaanxi of the Song Dynasty, and among the many Song generals who died, Guo Zun was named the first fierce general of the Song Dynasty, and he single-handedly tried to resist the attack of hundreds of thousands of Western Xia troops, and killed hundreds of people before they died heroically. Liao Xingzong also jokingly said: "This person is better than Yang Jiye, but unfortunately his ambition dies before he is paid, which often makes heroes cry." ”

"He's my brother." Guo Kui's face darkened.

"Why didn't you say that?" Liao Xingzong almost fell down from the horse, how could he think about it and commented that this person was weak.

"Your Majesty didn't ask, and the minister can't use his brother to tease, so the minister came to Zheng Xianggong's kindness at the beginning." Guo Kui said gratefully that if Zheng Lang hadn't gone to Yanzhou to investigate, his brother might have died unexplained, and he would have been more kind to him.

Liao Xingzong suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you Zheng Xianggong expect that I would have this day?" ”

"Your Majesty is suspicious, Zheng Xianggong is kind, Yuan Hao is cunning and difficult to prevent, His Majesty came in person, Zheng Xianggong was afraid of what happened, so he made some arrangements. If you have such a long-term vision, it can be comparable to Li Jing, after the victory of Sanchuanzhai, he also led his troops to attack Lingzhou and Gyeongju as early as possible, why should he stay for His Majesty's personal expedition today? Guo Kui said vigilantly, I can't say that this is our arrangement by Zheng Xianggong, so that both of you will lose. Then Zheng Lang will be in great trouble when he sends an envoy to the Khitan, and said: "But Zheng Xianggong's ability is not only military, but also civilian. He is not as good as Li Jing militarily, but Wenzhi is above Li Jing. ”

As soon as the words fell, another group of Western Xia people chased after him, and Guo Kui had to turn his horse again to fight.

Liao Xingzong looked at his back, and thought in his heart, no, he shouldn't think of such a long term, it's probably a coincidence.

Continue to die, under the repeated pursuit of the Xixia people, there are fewer and fewer people around Liao Xingzong, some are scattered, some are killed, only a few hundred people are left, the sky is getting dark, come to a high post, hastily prepare dinner, and have to continue to escape, it is not safe here. Luo Yi, the favored official by Liao Xingzong's side, jokingly said, "Your Majesty." And is the nose looking? ”

The battle of Western Xia was very fruitful, and a large number of Khitan soldiers were captured, in order to distinguish them, to prevent them from escaping. Yuan Hao came up with a cruel way to cut off some of the noses of these captives. However, there were too many captives captured, and this nose cutting caused even greater panic, and some prisoners escaped again with the help of the wind and sand that had not stopped. At this time, Liao Xingzong had two clever captives by his side who escaped after cutting off their noses. actually found Liao Xingzong and continued to escape, crying while fleeing.

Liao Xingzong was angry and tied Luo Yi with a rope, ready to kill him. Yelu Hongji usually has a relationship with Luo Yi and persuades: "It's not Huang Wanqi (a famous artist in the Tang Dynasty, humorous and eloquent. once used funny and humorous language to advise Xuanzong not to trust An Lushan and to love his son). ”

Luo Yi replied shrewdly: "It's not Tang Taizong who is marching. ”

Liao Xingzong couldn't cry or laugh. Ordered Luo Yi to be released.

After dinner, he fled again, and from time to time he encountered the Western Xia pursuers on the road, Liao Xingzong asked bitterly: "General Guo, where are your soldiers and horses?" ”

Regardless of dignity, it doesn't matter if he is from the Song Dynasty or the Khitan, as long as there are rescuers.

In fact, Yuan Hao also ordered before the march that when he saw Liao Xingzong's father and son, he must go, but for others. Kill as much as you want. Otherwise, Liao Xingzong fled with the largest number of military horses, and he was also the most attractive to the Western Xia army, and he would not be able to escape at all. However, in the game, even Guo Kui didn't notice it, let alone Liao Xingzong. …,

The wind gradually subsided, and a bright moon rose. The semi-circular moon is crooked, very lovely, and gradually it has reached the oasis area, pale yellow is still the main tone, and under the desolate moonlight, the scenery is desolate. The sounds of fighting and screams continued to be heard in the four fields.

Even when night came, the war was not over. It's still early, there were more than 190,000 soldiers and horses in this battle, and not many people were really killed, mainly prisoners, as well as materials, weapons, armor, horses, grain, grass tents, and other materials for the march, including Liao Xingzong's own utensils, clothing and rides.

It would take days just to clean up the battlefield.

Liao Xingzong didn't care, continued to run wildly, crossed the Quye River, and turned his head and asked again: "General Guo, where are your reinforcements?" ”

Guo Kui replied: "It's almost there, Your Majesty must not worry." I did not expect such an unexpected weather to be in the army, although I sent someone back to inform me, but to make preparations and transfers, it will be delayed for a while. ”

Liao Xingzong couldn't speak.

In fact, it had been prepared for a long time, and it was all cavalry, and it was too late to rush to the main battlefield, but it was able to arrive at dark to respond. You can't do that, at that time it was still very close to the main battlefield, and the Western Xia army was nearby, with the power of a great victory, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if these thousands of soldiers were carefully selected, they would be defeated. Therefore, the battlefield should be moved back and moved between the Kuye River and the Turbidity River. As soon as the words were spoken, thousands of Xixia people pounced on him from behind.

Liao Xingzong slapped the horse's back, but the horse ran all the way to the present, and he couldn't run anymore, Liao Xingzong shouted: "Heaven will kill me." ”

It was the Western Xia Yong general Wapu and the obscene goods, stealing prisoners of war, and inadvertently bumped into them. Looking at the few yellows in this group of deserters, Wapu and the lewd goods glanced at each other and said, "Go, scare this dog emperor." ”

"Okay."

The two led thousands of soldiers and horses to cover up, and they wanted Liao Xingzong to shave his head as a bald emperor, so that Liao Xingzong could escape back to the Khitan territory.

Guo Kui was helpless, he thought that the Western Xia people were crazy and reckless of the consequences, but he still had to protect the Khitan emperor. Thinking about it, I was dizzy, this battle was fought, and I brought more than a dozen guards, except for those who went back to ventilate and report the news, there were twelve guards around him, and now there are only six people left. Three of the other six were killed in battle, three were scattered, and I don't know if they were caught and their noses were cut off by the Tanguts.

Shoot right away and go to battle.

However, there were too many Tangut people who surrounded them, not only were they trapped, but even Liao Xingzong was also trapped, and under the conflict of the Tanguts, one by one his men were slashed by the Tanguts with guns and straight swords from their horses. At this moment, another army flashed out from the rear.

Wapu didn't pay attention either, and continued to command people to besiege and kill.

Luo Yi dragged Yelu Hongji's little hand and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid that the slave will go to the underworld to perform for His Highness in a while." ”

After speaking, he lay on the horse's back and cried.

Yelu Hongji looked at his father, and the father and son also wanted to cry, but suddenly Yelu Hongji was overjoyed and said, "Father, it is our army." ”

There are still two or three hundred steps, but by the moonlight, you can see that it is the Khitan flag, although the armor is not neat, quite like a miscellaneous army, you may see all Khitan style armor.

Wapu and the obscene goods also saw this army, and they didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the Khitan army that the Jinsu army rushed to the rescue, and the number was not much, only three or four thousand people, similar to their own army, but once they fought, reinforcements would arrive in the rear, so they ordered: "Turn around and fight." ”

Let go of Liao Xingzong's party, turn the army around, and kill with this army.

Guo Kui looked at it, it was his own person, and said to Liao Xingzong: "Our army has arrived, please Your Majesty order your men to attack from both sides." ”

When the Song army arrived, Liao Xingzong's heart fell to the ground and said, "Accurate." ”

Guo Kui took Liao Xingzong's men and counterattacked.

Seeing that the armor of this "Khitan" army was not neat, Wapu and the obscene goods did not pay attention, but as soon as they fought, they complained bitterly. This is the strongest army of the Song Dynasty, and there are a large number of Jurchen warriors in it, as well as the Fuzhou Zhejia army, and the Fan soldiers on the border, even if they are compared with the strongest Khitan army, they will not be inferior. Coupled with Guo Kui's counterattack, the enemy was attacked on both sides, and in just a moment, Wapu and the lewd men's men were killed one after another, and finally collapsed. Zhang Qi led his men in pursuit. Zhang Kang rode a horse to Liao Xingzong, jumped off the horse, and said, "It's too late for the minister's rescue." ”

The rescue came late, and it was mostly sung in the play, but it rarely happened in practice.

Listening to these four words, Liao Xingzong felt very uncomfortable in his heart. (To be continued) RQ
