Chapter 315: Something Big
When looking at the position three or four miles away, a team of guards with his subordinates as the backbone and the elite of the Baojing Army, a total of fifty cavalry.
Under the siege and slaughter of the Liao people on several times the scale, there were only a few people left in the end.
It was also after being completely submerged by hundreds of Liao soldiers.
The soul of the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty, the envoy of the Baojing Army, the commander of the five roads of Shaanxi Province, and the envoy of the Jingyuan Army, is now 71 years old and is respected as the old breeder.
After sighing silently, the emotions in my heart were quite complicated.
In addition to being anxious about the current situation, fear, etc., there is also a considerable regret.
Yes! The planter said he regretted it; He never thought that he led the most elite Western army of the Great Song Dynasty, and for the sake of preserving his strength in this battle of Liao, it would eventually lead to a bad result in front of him.
Not only will the whole army be defeated, I don't know how many people will die, but the Western army will also be greatly injured.
What's more, even he himself is now in big trouble.
Saying! Everything has changed so much today that even this veteran who has been in battle for a long time is a little speechless when he looks back on it now.
Originally, when the elite cavalry of the Liao army suddenly came, he still had a bamboo in his heart.
He had already taken precautions, commanding the army under his command to rely on the strict formation, believing that as long as the Liao soldiers hit a few nails, they would naturally stop.
In this way, when the baggage troops who took the lead arrived safely under the city of Xiongzhou, they would slowly retreat.
But since the north wind blew, a sudden hailstorm fell shortly after, which caused the formation of the broken rear troops he was carrying to be in chaos.
Because of his rich combat experience, he obviously saw that a fiasco was inevitable, so he acquiesced to his generals and retreated with cavalry.
I never thought that those Liao people were so worried.
Not only did he chase and kill the infantry army under his command who had a chaotic formation, but Yelu Dashi himself personally led the elite cavalry to chase after him, and put on a posture that he must be taken down.
As a result, in the continuous fighting along the way, the more than 2,000 elite horsemen who originally surrounded him were now only 1,23 horsemen.
Now he is still surrounded by Na Yelu Dashi, personally leading thousands of elite horsemen, in this uninhabited village.
It's not that he doesn't know that if he escapes into this village, he will be trapped by the Liao soldiers, but he was chased tightly before, which is quite a helpless approach.
can only escape into the village and wait for help.
The small group of cavalry that was strangled just now was the messenger he sent to Xiongzhou City to ask for help, or to gather other large armies to come to the rescue.
It's a pity that with the death of all these emissaries in battle, it seems that the last trace of possibility is also shattered.
At this time, I saw the Liao cavalry who was originally around the village, and the position at the entrance of the village suddenly opened an opening.
Dozens of horsemen slowly stepped forward until they were a stone's throw away from the entrance of the village.
Judging from the big banner and the appearance of the leader.
Even if that person hasn't spoken yet, the seed master Dao knows that the person is definitely the opponent who defeated him this time, the eighth grandson of Yelu Abaoji, the founding emperor of the Liao State, Yelu Dashi, a Khitan.
After thinking of something, the planter Dao tidied up the clothes and armor on his body and walked towards the entrance of the village.
In the end, the two sides were no more than a stone's throw away, and they stopped and confronted each other.
The Seed Master Dao guessed correctly in his heart, and the words that came clearly to his ears after the man spoke, proving all the guesses in his heart:
"Yelu Dashi, I've seen the old breed; From the perspective of the army, Xiang Gong can be regarded as a veteran of the battle formation, so it is natural to see that the current trend has passed, and there is no luck at all.
However, there is no need to worry about the old breed, as a junior, he will not do that unreasonable thing.
It's better to go back to the camp with me to have a good drink, or let a good student ask for advice. ”
Don't look at Yelu Dashi's mouth, the above words are very good, but to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than to make the seed master surrender and become a prisoner of strange goods.
There are assurances about safety, and the seed master also believes that there will be no fakes.
Now that the Liao State has long been exhausted, even if it wins this battle, it is impossible to continue to fight with the Great Song Dynasty; It's nothing more than taking advantage of the victory to let the Great Song take the initiative to sue for peace, so that they can turn back and deal with the Jurchens.
It's just that once he falls, their reputation and business for hundreds of years will be completely gone.
So after hearing this, the planter replied in a surging voice: "The old man lives seventy years and one in seventy, even if he dies immediately, it is not considered an untimely death, so he will not go to your military camp to disturb him." ”
can be regarded as using such a sentence to show his attitude of preferring to die rather than surrender on the spot.
Then, without waiting for Nayelu Dashi to continue to persuade, he took some of his guards around him and retreated towards the village.
It was only as soon as he returned to the village, thinking of such a difficult situation at this time, that the leader of his personal guards fell to his knees and said with a crying voice:
"The old breed is a father, it's better to let me personally take my brother to rush again, the villain is risking his life, and he will definitely spread the news that you are trapped like this."
After hearing this, the seed master replied:
"It's too late, the whole army is ready to break through; Instead of being trapped here by the Liao soldiers, let's not see how many people can rush out; You are all the backbone of our Western Army, if you can live one more person, you can live one more person. ”
After saying that, he tightened the belt on his body hard, so that the originally somewhat bent waist pole stood straight, and he no longer saw the slightest old age before.
It's just that Nayelu Dashi is even more straightforward, and without waiting for the old breed and the others to get ready, they rushed out of the village.
After he also stepped back a little, he gave an order in his mouth, and in addition to more than 500 personal guards guarding his subordinates, the remaining more than 2,000 elite horsemen slapped their crotch war horses, and the tide generally killed the village.
The Song army in the village had to resist hard, and where was there a chance to break through for a while.........
*******
Hu Biao and the others, after riding a war horse for about five or six miles, discovered the whereabouts of the army led by Yelu Dashi.
They could feel it at 2 o'clock, seven or eight miles away.
There is some movement when a large number of war horses run; According to the current battlefield environment, it should not be possible to be someone else except Yelu Dashi.
The only problem is that the current location of Yelu Dashi and the others seems to be slightly different from the statement in the mouth of Zhu Qianjun, the capital of the Baojing Army.
But even so, Hu Biao and his party decided to go over and have a look.
Because on the way to the past, I was worried that I would encounter the spies of the Liao soldiers, so I was discovered in advance by the army led by Yelu Dashi, which led to the end of this operation before it began.
So Hu Biao and the others became more and more careful.
Fortunately, from the Baigou River to Xiongzhou, in this vast area, although it is an endless plain.
However, because of the war and many other reasons, a large number of people fled; So much so that as soon as the official road is over, the wilderness is full of wild grasses that are one person high.
Under the cover of these weeds, after Hu Biao and the others slowed down their movements, they also successfully approached along the way, and were not discovered by the Liao soldiers in advance.
Eventually, they came to the army where Yelu Dashi was, which should have been more than two miles away.
Hu Biao and the others finally stopped advancing, secretly poked out a little braincase from the weeds, and began to observe carefully.
It's just that after a few hurried glances and seeing the situation in front of them, these people's mouths just cursed out a foul sentence of ''.
Because they could see in a small village a few miles away.
A large number of Song troops are currently surrounded to death.
Judging from the big banner erected high in the village, the people who were surrounded among them were actually the soul of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty.
And the people who surrounded them were thousands of elite horsemen led by Yelu Dashi.
Hu Biao didn't know that in this battle in history, there was such a king-to-king scene.
In the end, the old breed was very lucky, and he managed to escape a way out.
It was because of the appearance of these people that under the change of a small detail, the current situation was finally created.
However, seeing that in the sound of horns, the Liao soldiers, who were at least twice as strong, had already rushed towards the village in all directions.
The Song soldiers in the village can only resist the situation at present.
If they don't act quickly, the famous old breed will not be able to die at the age of 75 as in history.
In other words, something big has happened to them again......
