Chapter 81 The Songting Pass is trapped

Han De gave an order, and many archers appeared on the city wall, each with a longbow in his hand, and the end of the arrow carried a spark, this is a group of rocketeers.

There were also some who had no bows and arrows, all of them clinging to the little jars, and they did not know what was inside.

Han De waved his hand forward, and the rockets shot down the city in unison, and hundreds of fiery snakes swam towards the Jin Man, but their target was not the Jin Man, but the Jin Man's feet.

Yeluliang was puzzled, suddenly there was a bright light under the city, he looked down, into a sea of fire, the raging fire filled his tiger eyes, but let the golden soldiers under the city suffer, in the sea of fire, let out a terrible scream.

Many of the golden people were in the center of the fire, trying to break out of the hellfire, screaming and letting the flames scorch their hair, skin, and even bones until they were charred corpses and lay upright.

The golden soldier on the edge of the sea of fire was okay, and the flames were extinguished after rolling on the ground a few times, but his skin was also open, his skin was scorched, and he was miserable.

The place where the sea of fire is located is the place where the golden soldiers are most concentrated, and at this time, it has become a hell on earth, and no matter how brave the soldiers are, they can't resist the burning of the fire, and the wails are everywhere.

Even the Liao people in the city were frightened by this sound, not to mention the Jin soldiers behind the sea of fire.

And the small jar that kept flying down from the city fell into the fire, which added to the fire. This sea of fire has become an obstacle under the Jin Bing and Songting Pass. Moreover, the situation under the city was also clearly seen by the Liao army, and the crossbowmen once again had a target.

In an instant, there were more than 100 Jin soldiers who were burned to death by fire and shot by bows and arrows.

The Liao soldiers on the tower of the city once again had strength, the fire was a demon for the Jin soldiers, but for them, it was a reassurance, they held their swords and guns tightly, even if they fought hand-to-hand with the Jin people at this time, they would not have the slightest fear.

But the Jin people retreated, leaving only the sea of fire burning under the city, and dozens of charred corpses.

This is the reason why he asked Han De to go outside the city during the day, he ordered the soldiers to sprinkle charcoal, dry oil and other flammable materials in a specific area within the range of bows and crossbows under the city, and when the Jin people entered this range, the rockets were fired in unison, and the jar thrown out was also filled with flammable materials.

Wanyan Lou Room immediately attacked the city after being attacked by the Liao, revealing one of the characteristics of his march, which was swift and fierce, which would be an advantage when fighting in the corps on the plains, but in siege warfare, it was not necessarily good. At least, his intentions were too easy to detect, and Wu Song could see it.

Until the sky turned white in the east, the Jin people did not come to attack again.

Wu Song stayed awake all night, he stared at Dufu Ridge outside the city for nearly a few hours, until the sky turned white, and his eyes showed a look of determination. Then he turned away from the tower and walked into the council chamber.

In the early morning, the morning light was dewed, and the pure breath washed away the smell of blood and burnt under the Songting Pavilion. A few unknown little finches stopped at the top of the triangular tower of the Songting Pass Arrow Tower, chirping and chirping, not knowing that this was the battlefield.

For a while, there was a sense of rural tranquility.

Dufu Ridge is a different scene, in the dense forest, the golden soldiers in armor stay in front of a big tree with a solemn face, and there is no sound of crows.

After Yan Lou's room came, his face was pale, and there were still many bloodshots in his eyes, Wu Song was really injured in his ribs. He picked up the battle axe beside him and cut a hemp rope with one axe, and the one hanging from the tree fell to the ground with a groan of pain.

"The head of a thousand households, read out my military order again." Wan Yan Lou Room was expressionless, but shouted more terrifyingly than any expression.

"Yes, general, among the soldiers, if there is anyone who retreats before fighting, he will be whipped for a day, and he will be beheaded in public, and the heads of a hundred households and a thousand households will also be the head."

He looked at the weak man on the ground, and there seemed to be unbearability in his eyes, but it was only fleeting, and without hesitation, he walked to his side, stepped on his shoulder, and struck him with an axe, and blood gushed out of his neck, splashing the dry earth, and turning reddish-brown.

"After the head of a thousand households, Yan Chong retreated before fighting last night, disturbing the hearts of our army, and showing the public. Now, everyone set off to attack Songting Pass. ”

All the soldiers were shocked, they didn't see a trace of hesitation in Yan Lou's room, and in the bottom of their hearts, a kind of shame and glory instantly swelled up, looking at Songting Pass not far away, full of murderous intent.

Wan Yan Chong is the nephew of Wan Yan Lou.

The sun was shining all over the earth, and it also illuminated the armor of the Jin people, and the golden soldiers and iron horses were approaching Songting Pass with unswerving steps.

Wanyan Lou dismounted and walked at the front of the team, this was the third time he attacked Songting Pass, and he swore that it would be the last time. Wanyan Lou held a piece of jade in his hand, and there was a golden inscription with the word "Chong" on the jade, Chong'er, don't blame me, I will pay it back with the blood of that damn Liao general.

Jin Renbu Jia was the first to approach Songting Pass, and Wanyan Lou Room was the first to find out the situation on the city tower, but when he saw it clearly, with a wave of his hand, Jin Bing immediately stopped.

The tower above Songting Pass was empty, and the only movement was a few small finches parked on the arrow tower that were scared away by the arrival of the Jin army.

What are the damn Liao people doing, Wan Yan Lou looked at the city tower with suspicious eyes, and was finally filled with blood red, he gave an order, and the siege vehicle immediately attacked this city tower that looked like an empty city on the surface.

With just a slight collision of the siege vehicle, the gates opened. The golden soldiers were unexpected, and they didn't know how to vent their killing intent. After hearing the information introduced by the sentry, Wanyan Lou Room cursed, and then ordered that the Liao people had abandoned the pass and fled, and the whole army drove into Songting Pass to rest.

The sentry had already detected the direction in which the Liao army had fled, but Wanyan Lou ordered people to stay still.

On the upper floor of Songting Guancheng, Wanyan Lou looked at the city and listened to the head of a thousand households beside him, "General, do you just let those damned Liao people go, they killed so many of our brothers." ”

Wanyan Lou Room turned around, a cruel look appeared, and said, "Of course not, that damn Liao man named Yelusong must die, and those Liao people under him, Wanyan Zongbi is pressing at the mouth of the flying fox step by step, we can't be slow, but before that, you might as well give that person an appetizer and try his reaction, after all, that person is as cunning as a fox, and he makes me have to be cautious." ”

A large number of Jin people poured out of Songting Pass, but the direction of departure was not the place where Wu Song withdrew his troops.

Dozens of miles away from Songting Pass, Wu Song and his military horses were parked beside a flowing water, and he listened to a sentry's report, his brows furrowed slightly.

"General, there has been no movement since those golden soldiers captured Songting Pass, so wouldn't our actions really become abandoning the city and fleeing." Yeluliang was a little excited, this is also his character, and he will shout out loud if he can't figure it out.

"Xiaoliang, you think it's a good idea to fight to the death with the Jin people in Songting Pass, I said a long time ago, the place is dead, and the soldiers and horses are alive, don't worry, it won't be long before the Jin people will take the bait."

Wu Song knew that a proud soldier like Wanyan Lou was insulted like this, even if he temporarily hid his minions, he would definitely be revealed.

As soon as he finished speaking, another sentry came on horseback, looking a little anxious, and after he dismounted, Wu Song asked, "Tell me quickly, what's the new situation with the Jin army in Songting Pass?" ”

The sentry showed grief in his eyes and replied, "General, Jizhou has been lost, under the onslaught of the Jin people, Jizhou has insufficient troops, and it has been captured in less than half an hour, and now the Jin people are slaughtering the city, these hateful Jin people." ”

"Not good." Wu Song's eyes showed surprise, he turned to Yeluliang and said, "Xiaoliang, send a fast horse to inform General Yeluyan and General Han De that the ambush is canceled, and let their soldiers and horses quickly rush back to Shunzhou." ”

Yeluliang was also frightened by Wu Song, and he didn't have time to ask, so he hurriedly sent troops and horses to inform the Liao soldiers who were ambushed in Jikouling.

Wu Song's withdrawal from Songting Pass was precisely to induce the Jin people to chase after him, and he sent Yeluyan and Han De's soldiers and horses to ambush and annihilate the Jin people in Jikouling. But he underestimated Yan Lou's room, and the failure also taught him to be calm, he first captured Jizhou without difficulty, so that they had one more route to chase Wu Song's soldiers and horses, and Yelu Yan and Han De, who were sent by Wu Song to ambush, did not know about it.

Once the Jin people chased Wu Song from Jizhou, then Yelu Yan and Han De's soldiers and horses changed from hunters to prey, which was an absolute nightmare for the two.

"Brother Wolf, let's go to Jikouling too." Wu Song jumped on his horse, hoping that nothing would happen, or that they would hold out until they arrived.

The iron horsemen under Yelu Wolf Yan rushed to Jikouling, raising a large amount of dust.

The terrain of Jikouling is steep, with many trees on both sides, and low hanging in the middle, which is a good place for ambush. When Wu Song came to Jikouling, the Jin people and the Liao people were fighting fiercely, and although the Jin people did not have the upper hand in numbers, they still defeated the Liao people and retreated.

Most of the dead bodies scattered all over the mountains are Liao, and the death is still spreading. With a wave of Wu Song's hand, the Jin people were buried under the iron hooves of the cavalry, and the situation immediately reversed.

But Wu Song was not happy about this, this was only a small team of the Jin people, about a few hundred people, but they relied on sneak attacks and bravery, killed and injured more than 1,000 Liao people, if it was not for the cavalry to arrive, these 2,000 infantry is estimated to be wiped out. Yeluyan was unfortunately killed in battle, and Han De was also seriously injured, so his life was not in danger, and Wu Song sent him back to Shunzhou first.

Wu Song gritted his teeth, he remembered what Yelu Yan had said to himself just now when he held his hand and used his blood-stained hand, "I have guarded Songting Pass all my life, don't let him fall into the hands of the Jin people." ”

Just because of one of their own mistakes, the Liao people lost more than 1,000 infantry, Songting Pass, and Jizhou were also lost. Now the passes in the east and north of the sixteen states of Yanyun - Songting Pass and Yuguan have all been lost, and the two states of Ji and Wu have fallen, and the east is even more open.

The situation has deteriorated to the extreme for the Liao people, and what is worse is that Wu Song does not have too many infantry in his hands now, only Yelu Langyan's 4,000 iron cavalry, and the cavalry cannot attack the city.

Wu Song breathed a sigh of relief and calmed his mind for a while.

Seeing this, Yelu Liang said, "General, according to the current situation, we have only one way?" ”
