Yelu Hongda, the former commander of the Western Liao Army, led his troops to reinforce and search for the traces of the Song army, and the 2,000 men and horses were surrounded, they crossed the dry riverbed, entered the Gobi and marched for ten miles, and there was a large and small continuous mound for more than ten miles in front of them, there was no grass and trees in sight, there was a sea of black gravel and sand everywhere, and now there were blades and corpses scattered, and traces of fierce battles could be seen everywhere, and it was reported that the search team was surrounded by the Song army in this area.

Yelu Hongda gasped, he knew that this was the 'Devil's Castle', all of which were towering mounds and sand dunes of different shapes, like canyons, and the roads inside were intricate, not only easy to be ambushed, but also if they were not careful, they would get lost, and they wanted to come to the search team to hide in order to avoid the siege of the Song army. He didn't dare to enter rashly, so he sent a team of scouts to search for it, find out the situation, find out the strength of the Song army, and at the same time let everyone be vigilant to prevent the Song army from sneaking up.

More than half an hour later, the scouts reported that they had gone deep into it for five miles and heard the sound of fighting in front of them, because the Song army was haunted and did not dare to approach, and the terrain was complicated and it was impossible to judge the enemy's deployment and strength. Yelu Hongda was a little hesitant, it was like a labyrinth, and if you were not careful, you would get lost in it, and they were in the light, and the enemy was in the dark, and it was easy to be attacked. But his own people are trapped in it, and he can't see death without help.

"The three armies obeyed the order, we entered along the main road, we must not divide our troops without authorization, quickly annihilate the enemy after discovering it, and withdraw the same way as soon as we rescue our companions!" His 2,000 Song troops fought all night and failed to eat, so judging that the strength was not too much, Yelu Hongda thought about it and decided to go in to save people, but he still left 2,000 troops to respond outside, and the brigade was divided into three armies: front, middle and rear. Teams distance themselves so as not to be trapped at the same time.

The road is more than 30 zhang wide. The brigade can be allowed to march, and all units of the Western Liao Army rush in. Kill where the battle is still going on. Yelu Hongda led the Chinese army in the middle, and at this moment they had gone five miles into it to see the corpses all over the ground, but they had not yet reached the battlefield, and just when he was puzzled, the striker came to report the discovery of the Song army, and they immediately killed it and joined the trapped friendly army.

'......Boom' didn't wait for Yelu Hongda to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly there were several explosions behind him, like thunder on the ground, and he hurriedly looked behind him only to see the sand and dust rising from the sky. And they rolled along the road, as if they had encountered a storm, and soon all the men and horses were trapped in it, and there was no one to be seen ten paces away, and the marching brigade was immediately thrown into a state of confusion, and the men and horses neighed and rushed into each other, and trampled on each other.

After a while, when the sand and dust had subsided slightly, a soldier at the end of the group came to report in a panic, and the sand dunes at the back of the road suddenly collapsed. The road was blocked and could not be crossed, cutting off communication with the guards. Yelu Hongda was even more surprised to knock down the mound that was more than ten zhang high in an instant, how much force it would take to block the road, and they searched on both sides of the road. I didn't find that there was a Song army, could it be that God helped Song Jun?

"Move forward now, find your way to break through!" Now the situation is clear. Song Jun wanted to cut off their retreat and not allow them to think about it. Yelu Hongda hurriedly ordered.

The generals hurriedly formed their formations and quickly rushed forward, but they didn't know that they could only take 200 steps. There was another series of loud noises ahead. This time the blasting point was very close to Yelu Hongda, and he saw with his own eyes that the two mounds in front of him shook violently, as if they had been violently pulled up and put down, trembling a few times and falling inward, and the team that was marching in front of him had no time at all, and could not dodge, and was instantly swallowed by the sand pouring down.

......In the face of the power of moving mountains and seas, people were frightened, not to mention the most frightened animals, they could no longer remain silent in the face of the sudden disaster, screaming loudly and turning their hooves and scurrying in the dust of the sky, and the masters who were still petrified fell under their horses and trampled under the iron hooves.

In the chaos, Yelu Hongda was not spared, he was knocked down by a frightened horse, and the guards were not in a hurry to rescue at all, but fortunately, he had rich experience in the battle, and his old arms and legs were quite flexible, and he rolled over and hid on the side of the road, but it was inevitable to be injured. But he could save himself and couldn't save others, so he could only watch the soldiers in the fog mess up, conflicting with each other and powerless to stop it, how sad it is for the future of a leader......

When the dust settled, everyone found that the two explosions before and after separated the Chinese army from the forward and the rearguard, and they fell into a situation where there was no way forward and no way to retreat, and the panic was more serious than the explosion just now, and the "Song Army ......" suddenly a howl that was no longer a human voice pushed everyone to the climax of fear, and the soldiers of the Liao army looked around in panic, only to see countless figures of the Song army emerging on the sand dunes and mounds on the side of the road, and they bent their bows and arrows to aim at the Liao army on the road.

"Don't panic, prepare for battle!" Yelu Hongda struggled to his feet, drew his sword and shouted loudly to try to restore order, and at this moment, in order to avoid the collapsed mound, all the troops rushed to the middle, huddled together, and the Song army could kill and wound one by one with just a rain of arrows. But everyone just took a sand bath and was a yellow native, where could they tell who was who, and how did they know that the person dancing with a knife was their capital.

"We are surrounded by the Song army, kill out!" Seeing that the road was blocked, some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to break through quickly, and rushed to the way they came, and in the chaos people had not yet recovered their ability to think, and they saw that someone took the lead and followed and rushed backwards, but the towering and steep mounds deterred the war horses, and they had no other way but to fly out of the ribs with wings. Some desperate soldiers dismounted and tried to climb over, but how could the Song army above agree, the strings sounded chaotically, and the Liao army rolled down the slope with arrows.

"Abandon your weapons and surrender, spare your life!" A rain of arrows shot back the Liao army who wanted to break through, and the blood of their companions also quieted them, and these people hid behind their horses and held shields to protect the vital points and did not dare to move rashly, and the sound of the Song army persuading them to surrender was heard in their ears.

"I'm Yelu Hongda, the former commander of the army, let your lord answer!" Seeing that there were steep mounds on all sides, his thousands of people were like a group of rats that had fallen into a box and huddled together in panic, and the Song army on the four walls was condescending and waiting, Yelu Hongda realized that it was suddenly impossible to rely on his own strength, he stood up and shouted at Song Jun with his neck up.

"I have long admired the prestige of Yelu Dutong, and the baggage detachment of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty is under the control of Liu Ji, I don't know what Dutong wants to ask!" The Song army erected the general flag here, and someone under it replied loudly, as for whether it is a real long-term admiration or a fake long-term admiration, only God knows the way.

Liu Ji is also regarded as the old man of the Xiangyi Army, starting from the head of the gang, after layers of training and selection, he is now the head of the baggage bureau of the Fusi of Hedong Town, and the western expedition was appointed as the commander of the baggage detachment. After they withdrew from Yanbo City, they moved here, but they didn't expect the prison army to arrange a combat mission for them, that is, to lure the Liao army search team here, and then besiege it, and then use them as bait to lure more enemies here, so that the enemy army continues to divide its troops and reduce the pressure when attacking the enemy's camp.

After the baggage detachment was ordered, Liu Ji used his brains to think of a way, he would definitely not be able to get rid of the enemy's cavalry, and the prison army had an order not to kill them arbitrarily, and it was best to capture them alive to facilitate the negotiations later. He pondered for a long time and thought that he had two major advantages: first, the intricate terrain and special landforms of this devil city; The second is that he also has a magic weapon in his hands, that is, the engineer battalion that is good at blasting operations. As long as the enemy can lure in, the road will be blocked by blowing up the mountain pass, and the enemy can't run if he wants to.

"Liu Dutong, I advise you to get out of the way and let us go, and you can still save your life, otherwise you will not be left with a piece of armor when the army arrives!" Hearing that the other party asked a people's head to answer with him, Yelu Hongda became angry, and he was not polite when he spoke, and threatened. At this time, everyone also recognized their own capital, and they also gathered over to put up the big flag, and put up a shield in front of them, so as not to be injured by the Song army, which had some momentum.

"Tsk, Yelu Dutong is really polite, but it's a pity that your army is difficult to protect itself at the moment, and it won't be able to come for a while, so don't wait!" Liu Ji shook his head and smacked his lips and said.

"Hmph, even if the army doesn't come, I can kill you personally!" Yelu Hongda was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't believe it, thinking that the other party was threatening and threatening, he continued to threaten, but everyone felt a little lacking in confidence when they heard Du Tong's words.

"Jerodus, don't hold on, your vanguard has been trapped in the ravine ahead, and the rear army and those who are outside are trapped on the road behind you, but they are very sensible and have surrendered. Now that the emperor of my family has married the princess of Shu in your Da Liao, the two countries are still in-laws, and we don't want to make relatives turn against us and make outsiders laugh at them for some trivial things. So repeatedly endure not to go under the killer, otherwise...... Hey! Liu Ji said half of his words, but he believed that the Western Liao army understood what it meant.

"Don't be alarmist, my Great Liao army is full of warriors, how can you surrender to you insidious Han people, you are also opponents!" Yelu Hongda didn't want to admit it, but he already believed in his heart that his forwards and defenders must have been treated with him, otherwise they wouldn't sit idly by and watch themselves be trapped. And now I can't hear the sound of shouting and killing, and I think I am also trapped.

"Yelu Dutong, looking at your age and full of Chinese words, you think you fought with the Jurchens in the Central Plains, if you can defeat them, they will not hide in this poor and remote place, and now that the Jurchens see us, they can only flee in despair, and we are not ashamed to surrender!" Liu Ji said with a smile.

"You ......" Yelu Hongda was choked up, his face was red, and he couldn't speak.

"Yelu Dutong, it's getting dark, we don't have time to catch up with you here, you can choose two paths: one is to put down your weapons and surrender, let's eat meat and drink wine to be friends; The second is to bury your bones in this devil's city! Liu Ji's face suddenly changed...... (To be continued......)
