It was another evening, and the sunset seemed to be smeared with blood in the sky.

After more than two days of hard fighting, more than 2,000 Song soldiers fell again, and nearly 1,000 Song soldiers were seriously wounded.

However, this is not the most frightening news. I've seen too many deaths these days.

The most terrible news was brought back by the scouts.

Song Jiu guessed half right, and when he saw Yang Ye in Jintaitun, the Liao army was also a little anxious, and transferred many troops from the side to attack Yang Ye. However, at this time, Yang Ye's subordinates were eighty percent of the cavalry, and all of them were mourning soldiers, plus Yang Ye was very strong, although he was hit by two arrows, he still took the lead, under the leadership of Yang Ye, the Liao army was killed and retreated, if it were not for the Song army's poverty, this battle might have achieved a brilliant victory.

These two battles have confirmed Yang's invincible reputation.

In the face of this killing god, the Liao army was coaxed, and if you can't afford to provoke it, you won't mess with it, the army is slowly coming to the northeast, and reinforcements have arrived one after another along the way.

The intention is very simple, to force the Qigou Pass Henan and occupy Henan, and the Song army will have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

However, the Liao army made a strange move, not far from Jintaitun to Qigou Pass, but their speed was very slow, and in the evening, there were still more than 20 miles away from the Juma River, and it seemed that they intended to let the Song army live.

There is a road to the east, and Baigou Road is an avenue, and it is the nearest road, so let's escape.

Will Xiao Yanyan and Brother Yelu Hugh have such kindness?

Guo Shouwen, Fan Yanzhao, Shi Jue, Yang Yanzhao, Tian Shaobin, Liu Zhixin, Li Jixuan, Hu Yanzan The eight generals are all capable of recruiting and fighting well, even if the "villain" Shi Jue is also a veteran who has been famous for a long time.

But at this time, all of them were silent.

Of course, Yelu Xiuge will not have such good intentions, this is Yelu Xiuge cutting off Jintai Tunsheng. forced the Song army to take the Baigou Road. To prevent the siege from being too urgent, Song Jungou jumped over the wall in a hurry. Let the Liao army suffer heavy casualties. It's not even like people have seen the pontoon bridge on the Juma River these days......

This is a conspiracy, retreat immediately. It is conceivable that Yelu Hugo must have laid a big pocket on the Baigou Road, ready to put the Song army in.

If they still don't retreat, then tomorrow, they can send more troops to Henan and surround the Song army. Of course, it is impossible for Song Jiu to sit still here, so there is only one result, call for help. Jerecius could calmly surround the point and send reinforcements to expand the fruits of victory. Once surrounded, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will have to collapse sooner or later, or even collapse automatically.

"Brother Yelu Hugh......" Guo Shouwen said with a wry smile.

Song Jiu has said it many times, don't underestimate this person. However, there were still many Song generals who got carried away again after successive victories on the border.

But now.

Hu Yanzan said: "Leave them alone, withdraw, isn't it just a hundred miles away, kill it." ”

"Then retreat." Song Jiu smiled bitterly, he originally planned to draw the white ditch road, but now he is walking the white ditch road, but it is the result of two things.

He said to Guo Shouwen again: "General Guo." Pick a few warriors and go to Xiongju and let them draw as many troops as possible. Arrive at Baigoutun to pick up. ”

"Okay."

In fact, if you travel lightly, you may be a little faster. You can reach Baigoutun in one day.

But it can't be.

Maybe even reinforcements arrived, just in time to deliver an appetizer for Jerry Huge.

But it's hard to say. It is also possible that the letter will be sent to Xiongzhou, and then the rescue troops will be dispatched, and it will take another two or three days, and Yelu Xiuge will not care.

There is also a possibility that the strength of Xiongzhou is empty, even if some deserters flee to the rear to gather up, they will not be able to gather, plus the forts are guarding against the Liao army going south, and the front line cannot draw troops to rescue. This is the most probable.

What is the last, only God knows.

Then prepare to retreat.

However, a new problem is coming, no matter what kind of pocket Yelu Xiuge has laid on the Baigou Road, there are countless Liao troops in front of him, who makes the family have more troops?

Even if you want to withdraw to the other side of the river, you must also leave a force of soldiers and horses to block the attack of the Liao army. This is the real death, as long as whoever stays, who has only one way, that is death!

That one stays.

Shi Jue whispered a few words in Song Jiu's ear.

"How can this be?"

"Duke Song, Ci is not in charge of the army, you must make a choice."

……

"I just want to save it, who will I send?" Zhao Kuangyi smiled bitterly.

Those who can fight have been sent to the front line, either stationed in the northwest, or other important places, and there are some who can fight in the capital, all of them are old guys.

But now it's fast, these old guys can ride horses, maybe they can withstand a long journey of more than a thousand miles?

Wang Jien said: "Your Majesty, slaves and maids all think of one person. ”

"Who?"

"When the slave maid went to Lingnan, she once saw a young general, and Song Xianggong and General Pan praised him, and he was in the capital at this time."

"Who?" Zhao Kuangyi said confusedly.

In the First Battle of Pingnan Han, it was mainly due to Pan Mei, there were not many troops, and there were also not many generals, but there were also some generals who performed well, and they have grown up one after another for more than ten years.

"It's Yin Jilun, the son of Yin Xun, the defense envoy of Yingzhou."

"I've got it."

Zhao Kuangyi's first wife was Yin Chongke's sister, but in fact, Yin Chongke's sister was still a cousin of Pan Mei's wife Tian. It doesn't matter about this, the magnates of the Song Dynasty like to kiss, and the kiss can go to the edge of the sky. Yin Chongke's father is Yin Xian, Yin Xian is the eldest in the family, and he also has a third child, and the age gap between the two is a bit big, called Yin Xun. However, compared with his eldest nephew Yin Chongke, the gap between the two is also very far. Yin Xun killed his subordinates when he was in office, and there were many illegal acts, but considering that he was a relative of his second brother, Zhao Kuangyin adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye.

Yin Jilun is the child of the third child of the Yin family, it seems that he is only in his thirties, and when he was in Pingnan Han, Wang Jien said that he was a young general.

Although they are relatives, Zhao Kuangyi is not very familiar with Yin Jilun, and asked, "Is he okay?" ”

"Your Majesty, at least you should be strong."

That's enough.

Zhao Kuangyi summoned Yin Jilun into the palace, explained the situation, thought about it and said: "I will give you another decree, from Zhenzhou to Dingzhou, all the soldiers in the three passes of Xiongmo are under your command, and you must rescue Song Qing." Rescue the three armies. Especially Song Qing...... I'm ashamed. ”

Yin Jilun didn't know what Zhao Kuangyi meant when he said that he was ashamed, but he knew the seriousness of the situation. So he said, "Where is that Liu Quangui?" ”

"I told him to rest behind the temple."

He ran from Qiguangou to Xiongzhou, and from Xiongzhou to the capital. I barely closed my eyes for a few days and nights. Although he was a small person, Zhao Kuangyi also felt sorry, so he let him rest on the couch behind the palace. In fact, this is Zhao Kuangyi's couch, but Liu Quangui knows where to go, and he fell asleep.

Yin Jilun came to the back, woke up Liu Quangui, and asked, "Liu Zhuangshi, can you still run?" ”

"Where?"

"Go to Qigou Pass."

"I can run." Liu Quangui immediately pushed into his chest and said loudly.

Yin Jilun collected two thousand light horses. Get out there quickly.

Run!

In order to make them run fast, Zhao Kuangyi deliberately added a thousand war horses to them so that they could change horses in turn.

Run.

Ran through the crops of Huazhou, ran through the Yellow River, and ran through thousands of mountains and rivers.

Zhao Kuangyi stood in the Taimiao, but looked in the northeast direction, and muttered a prayer in his mouth: "Song Jiu, you stupid boy, you must be safe." I haven't really made you Prime Minister yet. ”

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any requests, please ask them one by one." Song Jiu had tears rolling in his eyes.

The literate people who came out of the army gave the names and places of origin of these seriously wounded soldiers one by one. Ask to record them one by one.

Hu Anguo said: "Song Gong, the small family is poor, before leaving. The little lady of the Zhu family came to my house to see her off, I once said. I will definitely make meritorious contributions and become a great official. In the future, when I marry her, I will take her and her younger siblings at home to Shundian for a big meal. ”

"Don't worry, when the official goes back, he will take them to Shundian, and he will find a job for them and buy them the best house......" Song Jiu said this, his mood was agitated, and a mouthful of blood splashed out of his mouth.

"Song Gong," Li Jixuan helped him.

Song Jiu wiped the corners of his mouth with the sleeve of his robe and said, "It's okay, continue to record." ”

In front, the Song army began to slowly evacuate.

Although it was night, the movement was not small, and it had already alarmed the Liao army, and they were ready to fight together. But there was no charge. At this time, the charge is definitely not the best time, and it will force the Song army to fight hard.

If you want to charge, that is, when most of the Song army is about to cross the Juma River, if the timing is right, you don't even need any pockets, and you can annihilate the Song army in one fell swoop.

Liu Zhixin, Li Jixuan and Hu Yanzan went forward with them.

Guo Shouwen and Shi Qi went down with the Left Route Army.

Fan Yanzhao and Tian Shaobin went down with the right army.

There is also the middle lane of Song Jiu and Yang Yanzhao.

Song Jiu suddenly said: "Take the white cloth and sacrifice filial piety." ”

The three armies took out white cloths, tied them to the top of their heads, and tied them to their arms.

"Blow the trumpet, urge the drums of war."

War drums rumble, trumpets whimper.

"Everyone, please accept Song Mou's knees." Song Jiu looked at the nearly a thousand seriously wounded, urged the golden mountain, fell the jade pillar, and the huge figure knelt down at once. Then he fell on the ground and wept loudly.

Yang Yanzhao pulled him up and said, "Duke Song, let's avenge them in the future." ”

Song Jiu got on the war horse.

But he never left, riding on his horse and watching the teams of soldiers and horses cross the pontoon bridge and march towards Henan.

Brother Yelu Xiu, Xiao Yanyan, and Yelu Longxu were also looking at the army, faintly feeling that something was wrong, and they didn't know where they were wrong. There are fewer and fewer Song soldiers on this side of the Juma River.

Yelu Hugo waved his hand: "Attack." ”

The dense Liao soldiers fiercely pounced on the Song army.

Suddenly, an explosion came from the Song army.

This is the plan that Shi Qi came up with for Ci Bu to take charge of the army, he has served as a local official in the local area for many years, and has seen the power of gunpowder. Indeed, the emergence of gunpowder in recent years has caused a surge in the production of various mineral deposits in the Song Dynasty, and it has also brought more wealth. However, it has not been used well militarily.

When the Song army came, they also brought a lot and put them on trebuchets and launched them into the city. Even if you attack Youzhou City, see if you can knock down Youzhou City.

Later, when the city of Zhuozhou was attacked again, most of this gunpowder was placed in the city of Qigou Pass.

Shi Qi came up with a cruel plan.

The gunpowder was combined, increased in power, and buried under the tent. But there was no such long fuse, so he proposed to let the seriously wounded voluntarily stay and light the fuse. Moreover, if the seriously wounded are left, the marching speed will be faster, otherwise with the character of Song Jiu's mother-in-law, she will inevitably take them with her and delay the speed.

Speed is of the essence at this point.

Song Jiu didn't agree, it was too cruel.

However, Shi Jue took the initiative to find these wounded and did their ideological work. Song Jiu was helpless and had no choice but to agree.

An explosion sounded, not only the power of the explosion, but when the imperial court was developing them, it added some steel balls and thistles to it. In normal times, when you see them flying, it doesn't hurt much to lie down. But at this time, the Liao army was caught off guard, and countless soldiers were killed and injured in an instant.

"Let's go." Yang Yanzhao pulled up Song Jiu's sleeve on the horse and said.

"Let's go!" Song Jiuda shouted.

He stepped onto the pontoon bridge almost after the most abrupt rear. As for the rest of the people, it is a lifetime, and they never want to see the other side of the river......

Tens of thousands of troops walked in the night, and from time to time sobs were heard. At this time, the moon was also dull, and the starlight was even more dim. (To be continued......)
