As a member of the "Flying Dragon Army", from the moment they completed their recruit training and took over their own weapons, they were constantly instilled with the concept of "people are in the weapon, people are dead and weapons are destroyed", and at the same time, they are also very clear that in order to ensure that the specific parameters, performance, weaknesses and other situations of the firearms are not acquired by the enemy, the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Army" are usually not allowed to become prisoners. In other words, after the ammunition in their hands is exhausted, the first thing they have to do is to completely destroy the firearm in their hands that has lost its usefulness and hang a "glory bullet" on their chest. The second thing is to pick up the knife, spear, bow and crossbow that you are not good at using, rush forward and fight the enemy, until you can no longer slash and kill, and then you will pull the "glorious bullet" and die with the enemy. Therefore, when the company commander and company superintendent of the reinforced infantry company jointly announced to their subordinates that they were ready to begin the implementation of the "final disposition" of weapons and equipment, the nearly 150 surviving soldiers of the company were able to face it calmly. Taking advantage of the gap between battles, on the one hand, they pooled the remaining ammunition and handed it over to a small number of good shooters and machine gunners in order to maximize its effectiveness. On the one hand, the rifle that has no bullets is completely disassembled, the wooden part is set on fire, the metal part is bundled up, and placed in a wooden box with the mortar that has no shells, and then a sufficient amount of explosives is stuffed into the barrel of the mortar and between the metal parts, ready to be detonated at the last moment by the company commander or company inspector. After doing these tasks, the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Army" helped each other to tie the "Glory Bullet" to their chests with ropes, and then either drew their own long knives, or picked up the knives, spears, bows and crossbows of the robes of the "Security Army" cavalry who died in battle, and prepared to fight to the death with the 500 "Security Army" cavalry who were still able to fight, and the Khitan Army that was about to launch the next attack.

In just one hour, more than 3,000 men and horses were lost, and such huge casualties made Yelu Xianshi, who knew very well that there were only more than 20,000 people left in the Son of Heaven's army, felt distressed, and at the same time, he also strengthened his determination and belief to completely wipe out the Zhou army in front of him. Because only in that way can the nearly 6,000 Great Liao soldiers who died in battle outside Yanjin City in Yinzhou today die well, can we boost the morale of the army that is already about to be extremely low in the Great Liao Imperial Court, and can the Son of Heaven have the opportunity to arrive in Liaoyang City smoothly and make the last effort to protect the national Zuo of the Great Liao. Yes, Yelu Xianshi ordered the archers to increase their shooting intensity and suppress the Zhou army as much as possible; At the same time, he took the risk of quickly gathering the 3,000 elites who had been waiting on the periphery, preparing to throw them into battle when the Zhou army's defense line was crumbling, taking the small hill in one fell swoop, and ending the battle that had lasted for nearly three hours.

Since the ** has been completely fought, although it has been discovered that the Khitan army reserves are converging, Yan Shiyong and the mortars on the small hill can only watch them complete the pre-war assembly, but they are powerless to stop it. As the infantry ammunition was basically exhausted, in the face of more than 2,000 Khitan cavalry dismounted from all directions, although the Zhou army on the small hill fought hard, it was still unable to block the opponent from the improvised fortifications, making it rush into the fortifications for the first time since the battle began early this morning.

Seeing that there were more and more Khitan troops rushing into the improvised fortifications, although his own soldiers were desperately resisting, and the explosion of the "Glory Bullet" was endless, they still couldn't counterattack the other party. ”

When Company Commander Hu heard this, he did not answer, first slashed a few knives to force back an enemy soldier in front of him, and then, under the cover of two personal soldiers, turned his head to the center of the fortification, pressed on the detonator with one hand, and held a long knife in the other hand and shouted: "Lao Wang, do it." ”

Hearing Company Commander Hu's shout, Lian Inspector, known as Lao Wang, did not answer, just nodded, and then violently pressed down the lever of the detonator.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the powerful explosives not only shattered the gun parts and mortars, and they could no longer see their original appearance, but the strong shock wave also made the Lian Inspector Wang, who was not far from the pile of parts, a disgraced face. Fortunately, a wall of earth was built around the pile of parts in advance, and although his head was covered with dust, Lao Wang did not worry about his life. As soon as he rolled over and got up from the ground, dusted off the dirt on his body, and after confirming that he was fine, he waved his long knife and rushed into the battle group with two of his own soldiers.

Although it successfully stormed the fortifications of the Zhou army, the dismounted cavalry of the Khitan army, which also suffered heavy casualties, wanted to completely annihilate the Zhou army on the small hill with its own strength, but it was beyond its strength. Therefore, after the two sides were stabilized and the breakthrough was controlled, the Khitan generals who led the troops promptly sent a signal of immediate support to the Chinese reserves that had been assembled.

Seeing the signal from his subordinates, knowing that the Zhou army was at the end of the crossbow, and he was about to break the myth of the invincibility of the Zhou army for more than ten years, Yelu Xianshi, who had created a miracle for the Great Liao, couldn't help but be arrogant, stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife at his waist and raised it high, ready to lead the three thousand iron horsemen under his command to crush the remaining strength of the Zhou army.

But just as the scimitar in Yelu Xianshi's hand was about to slash forward, and he was about to give the order to attack, a scout in charge of vigilance appeared in front of him at an inopportune time, and brought him a news that he didn't want to hear at this time: "A cavalry of nearly 3,000 Zhou troops is rushing from the north, and it is less than five miles away from the battlefield. ”

The distance of five miles is nothing more than a cup of tea for a cavalry galloping at full speed. Although the situation of the Zhou army on the small hill was already precarious, under the "trapped beast fighting", it was impossible for him to completely eliminate them in such a short period of time and set up a position to meet the Zhou army that suddenly appeared. The only way to do this is to order the archers, who are less than 1,500 men, to resist for a while, to buy time for their side to completely annihilate the Zhou army on the small hill and rearrange their forces. Although it may cost the lives of most of the 1,500 archers to do so, it is still very worthwhile compared to the total annihilation of the last week's army on the small hill. Yes, but after a little thought, Yelu Xianshi ordered the men to quickly send the order to the archer, and at the same time raised the scimitar in his hand again.

Maybe God didn't want Yelu Xianshi to make a great contribution, maybe Yelu Xianshi really didn't win the first victory in the Liaozhou battle in more than ten years, or maybe it was just bad luck, in short, he just raised the scimitar in his hand again, and before he could slash forward, there was a huge explosion like thunder behind him, followed by a dense gunfire like a burst of beans. Even if Yelu Xianshi's understanding of the "Flying Dragon Army" is limited, he who has just had the experience of fighting against the small hill last week's army, can still hear that the "Flying Dragon Army" that suddenly appeared behind him is by no means only a hundred people, but it is not ten times more than the "Flying Dragon Army" on the small hill. A cavalry of nearly 3,000 Zhou troops came from the north, and a "Flying Dragon Army" of no less than 2,000 people emerged from the south. If the Son of Heaven and the civil and military ministers in the city saw the opportunity quickly, they immediately abandoned the city and left, and while the Zhou army had not yet besieged the city, they might be able to escape some of it. If you blindly insist on holding the city, I am afraid that the emperor of Daliao and the imperial court will be stewed by the Zhou army. Thinking of this, Yelu Xianshi dared to fight for the first victory, and hurriedly sent a scout horse to the city to inquire about the situation, and on the other hand, he ordered someone to blow the horn and order those dismounted cavalry who were still fighting with the Zhou army on the small hill to immediately withdraw from the battle to strengthen their available troops. As for the more than 1,000 archers who went to stop the cavalry of the Zhou army in the north, they could only resign themselves to their fate and ask for more blessings.

Although he could not believe that the commander would order himself to retreat at such a critical time, on the one hand, it was difficult to disobey the military order, and on the other hand, the huge explosions and dense gunfire from the direction of Yanjin City in Yinzhou also made him realize that the situation might change. Therefore, after receiving the order to retreat, the Khitan general who commanded his subordinates to attack the small hill, even if he was unwilling, could only obey the order, fight and retreat, gradually break away from the contact with the army in the mountain, and quickly move closer to the position of his main general. Although the Zhou army generals on the small hill saw those Khitan archers at the bottom of the mountain suddenly stop firing arrows and gather together to rush north, they also heard the sound of guns and cannons from the direction of Yanjin City in Yinzhou, and knew that their own reinforcements had arrived. But they were exhausted by more than three hours and nearly four hours of fighting, and they had been supported by the strength of not admitting defeat and the belief that reinforcements would arrive in time. This will realize that the reinforcements have arrived, and their mission has been completed, and the originally tense nerves will be relaxed, and immediately feel that there is no pain in the whole body, no place is not tired, and all the strength has been drained. Now it is said that they are chasing after the victory, but in fact, the vast majority of the soldiers can't even hold a knife at all. One by one, they lay on the spot, gasping for breath, and they didn't even want to move their fingers again. Only Yan Shiyong, the supreme commander, was still trying his best to support, and while he allowed the health soldiers to bandage the wound on his arm that had been cut in the battle just now, he ordered several of his own soldiers who were still strong to support him while paying attention to the movements of the Khitan army under the mountain, and quickly sent messengers to get in touch with the reinforcements in the north and south, inform the other party of his situation, and ask for instructions on the next action arrangement. Yan Shiyong judged that Uncle Cheng Feicheng, the main general who was responsible for pursuing the Khitan army south, had arrived.

Just when Yan Shiyong sent people to contact the reinforcements from the north and south, the scout horse sent by Yelu Xianshi to inquire about the news under the city also returned to him, and brought a will issued by the Son of Heaven himself - ordering Yelu Xianshi to immediately lead his troops to launch an assault on the Zhou army under the city from the east and west, so as to attract the attention of the Zhou army and gain time for the Son of Heaven, the courtiers and the soldiers and horses in the city to evacuate.

With more than 4,000 soldiers and horses and less than 5,000 troops and horses, nearly 3,000 of the "Flying Dragon Army" who had just been put into battle were assaulted, and this was definitely a death operation with no return. In other words, the Son of Heaven and the important ministers of the court planned to use the lives of the more than 4,000 soldiers and horses outside the city to buy a chance for themselves and the 10,000 soldiers and horses inside the city to escape from danger. Although there was a death assault with no return, as a courtier loyal to Emperor Daliao, Yelu Xianshi did not hesitate. He immediately received the order, raised the scimitar in his hand, and led the more than 4,000 soldiers and horses under his command to kill the city of Yanjin in Yinzhou as if they were dead.

Yan Shiyong, who watched the Khitan army under the mountain rushing towards Yanjin City in Yinzhou, for fear that the other party would ignore the safety of the master in the city and blindly want to fight to the death with himself, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The messengers sent to the north and south successively reported that it was indeed their own reinforcements that had arrived, and that the cavalry regiment of the Fourth Synthetic Infantry Division of the "Flying Dragon Army" led by General Cheng and the "Flying Dragon Army" temporarily attached to the southern route had blocked the way for the Khitan army to flee south to Shenzhou. Here, he had just ordered all the soldiers under his command to tidy up the appearance of the army and prepare to go to General Cheng to give orders, but he himself was already exhausted and lost too much blood, and he fell to the ground in the dark, unconscious.
