"Whew!" Song Jiu shouted, took the banner from Wang Bin's hand, and stood motionless.

The rain stopped.

But the wind didn't stop.

In the night wind, the flags were stained with blood and mud, and the sound of hunting sounded.

Yang Ye said: "Gong Song, let's kill to the right side of Lu." ”

On the right side is Liu Zhixin's subordinates, Song Jiu almost attracted eighty percent of the main force of the Liao State, the troops are too thin, and they can no longer be divided into fans.

Li Jixuan and Yang Yanzhao panted and killed, they were tired of killing, and Yelu Xiuge was also exhausted from killing, standing on the high slope while panting and commanding. Anyway, with these two madmen here, he will not succeed if he wants to use the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first.

Li Jixuan said: "Song Gong, ride my horse." ”

"Okay." Song Jiu is not hypocritical, he is injured, and Li Jixuan is also injured, but once something happens to him, the entire army will lose its soul.

Yang Yanzhao was on the horse, and Li Jixuan was under the horse, continuing to protect Song Jiu and killing to the right side of Lu. Song Jiu suddenly asked, "General Yang, where is Yanpu?" ”

Yang Ye was silent and did not speak.

Song Jiu didn't ask much, no need to ask, Yang Yanpu also died here.

He suddenly shouted, "Kill." ”

I don't know who Lu Dao killed, but he just screamed tragically.

The Song army fiercely rushed to the right side of Lu, under the tragic battle of the Song army, finally the two roads successfully met again, but the situation was still not very good, until now, Liu Zhixin's hands were more casualties, almost half of the people fell.

Fan Yanzhao looked nearby while fighting, and suddenly turned his horse back and said, "Song Gong." You look behind you. ”

Song Jiu turned his head to look behind him, Brother Yelu Xiu was bent on Song Jiu's life. Turning the main force over, the pressure behind him is even lighter. Tian Shi and the others took the opportunity to hastily complete this three- or four-mile-long defensive line, and gathered many soldiers and horses, and some soldiers and civilians gathered in the distance.

Fan Yanzhao said: "Although Song Gong led the morale to be angry, the soldiers were tired in the end, and I am afraid that they will not be able to last. We have a lot of baggage weapons behind us, so let's retreat and defend it. ”

Song Jiu thought about it, this was not the time to be a hero, so he nodded in agreement.

The Song army killed back.

Jeruhugo was in a hurry. Use the banner to issue one order after another, so that the army will surround this Song army layer by layer.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Shi Qi and Tian Shaobin said at the same time: "General Fu, you are in charge of defense, and we will go over to rescue Song Gong." ”

"Okay," compared to the others, Fu Zhaoshou performed the worst, and to this day, his legs are still shaking.

Tian Shi and the others led their subordinates to kill Izu.

Song Jiu also didn't expect the changes in the rear. His fierce battle in front did not allow many soldiers in the rear to flee to Henan, on the contrary, more and more soldiers and civilians gathered over.

Therefore, the number of troops under the second general became larger. The two of them almost led more than 10,000 soldiers to kill them.

Song Jiu killed in front, and the fortifications behind were gradually arranged, and many people's hearts were settled. I also noticed the tragic battle ahead, and there were soldiers who were afraid of death. However, this Song army is even less fierce. Moved, more than 10,000 soldiers rushed over desperately.

Actually a battle. From planning to finishing, it can take months or even years.

But when it comes to fighting, the winner is often decided in just a few hours.

And when the casualties were not the heaviest in the battle, for what was the later battle between Song and Liao, killing 10,000 Liao troops was a great victory, and once the Song army suffered casualties, the number of casualties was very large, and the speed was also.

The real casualties are in pursuit.

However, this battle was fought very badly, in a normal battle, the casualties were on the periphery, and the casualties in the formation would not be too heavy, of course, it would be difficult to say if the formation was lost when the defeat was retreated. But in this battle, the Liao army was numerous, penetrating almost all the formations of the Song army, and the combat circle was expanded to Song Jiu's side.

If it weren't for Song Jiu's morale boost and making this army an outlaw, the entire army would have been wiped out long ago.

Song Jiu fought tragically for more than two hours, gaining valuable time for the rear, but in this battle, more than half of the casualties were lost, but the Liao army was also not very good, with countless casualties.

Seeing that more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Song army rushed forward, this result was obviously not wanted by Yelu Xiuge, coupled with the lack of clear vision in the night, and he was worried that Song Jiu's desperate style of play would improve the morale of the whole thing, and his subordinates would gradually become sleepy, maybe a miracle would be staged, so that the Song army would turn defeat into victory. So Jeruhuko ordered the three armies to retreat, rest for the time being, and fight again tomorrow morning.

Song Jiu returned to the fortifications with a blank expression.

He has been to the front line many times, Guankouzhai, Southern Han, Jiaozhi, Taiyuan, Zhuozhou, Liaodong, but he has never seen such a tragic battle, countless familiar people blink to see that they are lying together in the distant night, the loyal hometown will Guo Er die, the pouting Wang Zhen is dead, and Da Hei is dead......

At this time, his head was empty, as if he had lost his soul.

Shi Jue said: "Song Gong, hurry up and heal your wounds." ”

Fan Yanzhao said: "Song Gong, command." ”

Through two short sentences, you can see the character of the two, but Shi Qi also has merit in this battle.

Only then did Song Jiu come to his senses.

He looked at the black crowd and said, "I'm Song Jiu." ”

At this time, his whole body was covered with blood and mud, so he wiped the stains off his face with his hands.

More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians cheered.

With Song Jiu here, there is a boss, and Song Jiu's bravery and tenacity also give them a backbone.

Song Jiu looked at it and said, "Whose idea is this, it's very good." ”

"This is my idea with General Shi."

"General Fan, General Shi, I would like to express my deep gratitude below," Song Jiu gave a big gift. Although Fan Yanzhao changed his original plan, he did the right thing.

"Don't dare to be."

"I thank you on behalf of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. I didn't think about it, if it weren't for you, the situation of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians would be even more worrying," although Song Jiu didn't know the problems that Lu Dao Shi Jue began to encounter, but at this time, he also vaguely guessed that in that case, if the three armies were not stabilized, even if they built a pontoon bridge, it might not work. He said, "This is a good way, let's count the number of people." ”

Soon. Counting the numbers, there are more than 51,000 forbidden soldiers. Also, some of the Song troops who fled in all directions saw this Song army gather again. They returned again, but they were still in danger, and no one dared to say how many forbidden soldiers would be able to return in the end. There are also more than 37,000 village soldiers and archers, and more than 39,000 people.

Cai Yu fled, Cao Bin fled, Mi Xin fled, Cui Yanjin fled, and Du Yangui fled. Zhao Yanpu fled, Zhang Shaoqing fled, Dong Yuan fled, Cao Mei fled, Li Yanbin fled, and Fu absconded......

Not everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, especially as soon as Cao Bin escapes, everyone has no choice but to escape. For example, if Fan Yanzhao didn't see Song Jiu desperately, I'm afraid he would also run away. Stay and die.

However, Guo Shouwen is good, he just escaped to the other side of the Juma River, and turned his head to see that the situation in Hebei was not right. After thinking about it, on impulse, he sneaked back to Hebei. Just when Tian Shaobin and Shi Qi assisted Song Jiu, they returned to the army again.

These people took some of the Song army with them.

But the rest of the people. Either they were killed or captured by the Liao army, or they drowned in the Juma River.

This number will not be less. It will not be less than 100,000 people.

Song Jiu's face was gloomy, although there was a good side, now almost all the soldiers together only Song Jiu was the first to look forward, and the orders would be the same, no longer chaotic, but there were more bad sides, morale was low, the soldiers were sleepy, the rear army of the Liao army was coming in a steady stream, with more and more troops, and there was a Juma River in front of him, and he was in danger......

Song Jiu began to give an order: "Fu Zhaoshou, you take 5,000 people, immediately pull out all the wood from the Qigou Pass military camp, build a pontoon bridge, and build as many pontoon bridges as you can. ”

He had already gotten the question of what had just happened from Shi Jue's mouth.

"Whoa."

"General Shi, you take the rest of the people and build a few more fortifications, if there are no cars to make walls with food bags, you can build a few roads."

"Whoa."

"General Guo, General Yang, General Fan, you divide the army into four routes, General Guo is the main general of the left road, General Shi is the deputy general of the left road, General Yang is the main general of the middle road, Yang Yanzhao is the deputy general of the middle road, General Fan is the main general of the right road, General Tian is the deputy general of the right road, General Liu is the main general of the front road, Li Jixuan is the deputy general and vanguard officer of the front road, and General Hu is the deputy forward officer. Fu Zhaoshou, you will follow me to help take charge of the Chinese army and maintain order when the army and civilians retreat. ”

"Whoa."

"If there is no commander and the commander is small, the battalion is combined, or the deputy commander and the head of the capital are concurrently, after the respective battalions are divided, the wounded are treated in time, and the rest are divided into three, one is on guard, and the other takes turns to rest."

"Whoa."

After listening, some people complained bitterly.

Song Jiu said again: "Another order, we are soldiers, the duty of the soldiers is to protect the family and defend the country, nothing to do with the people, after the pontoon bridge is erected, the people will retreat first." ”

"Whoa."

Fu Zhaoshou said: "Jiulang, your injury." ”

Song Jiu saw that the situation had eased, and he also ordered the doctor to come over to heal him.

In fact, on the battlefield, he was protected by soldiers on all sides, but Yelu Hugo recognized him as an attack, so that several bannermen fell, and Song Jiudu raised his heavy sword and cut down several Liao soldiers, so he suffered several wounds. When the armor was taken off, there were arrow wounds, knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and as many as a dozen wounds, large and small.

The doctor wiped the alcohol to disinfect and bandage the wound, which hurt Song Jiu's teeth, but the pain was deeper in his heart.

The sky was dark, ten pontoon bridges were erected on the Juma River, and three simple fortifications were also arranged, Song Jiu said: "Fu Zhaoshou, you immediately lead all the people, as well as the seriously wounded soldiers, each with bows, arrows, knives and guns, three days of dry food, bring the seriously wounded soldiers, advance lightly, and quickly withdraw to Xiongzhou." ”

"Ahh

"Human lives are at stake, this is more than 40,000 lives, more important than the battlefield, go quickly."

In fact, the main reason is that Fu Zhaoshou's ability is limited, but if these people want to withdraw, there must be someone who can calm the field, otherwise once they withdraw to Henan, there will be chaos. Fu Zhaoshou can't fight, but he is the uncle of the country, and his identity can shock the people.

Fu Zhaoshou reluctantly arranged for the people to retreat.

However, at this time, the rested Liao army forced over again.

At this time, although the Song army took turns to rest, but the environment was bad, and they did not rest well at all, there were three fortifications, but this low and simple fortification was not a city wall.

The situation remains dire.

The vast Liao army is gradually approaching, and even people with good eyesight can see the dragon flag behind the Liao army. Xiao Yanyan is here, and the little emperor of Liao is here...... (To be continued......)
