971: Defeated
Morale just dropped little by little.
"General, we can't attack it, we are sending death if we attack like this, send it to death! Let's get out...... Leave some blood for these warriors......"
A sergeant with the left side of his face blown up cried out in despair.
The Liao general waved his long knife, and the sergeant fell to the ground.
After that, General Liao pointed to the head of the city and shouted: "Whoever dares to retreat, all of them will be killed by Lao Tzu!" Give Lao Tzu the courage to attack it with all his might! When the Yanmen Pass is laid, Your Majesty will have a heavy reward! ”
"The Song people are cowardly, they only dare to shrink the head of the city to defend, the warriors of Daliao are invincible in the world!"
General Liao didn't want to continue such a siege in his heart, but once he retreated, he would probably be stabbed, and his family would be sent as slaves.
Therefore, if he is stabbed in tone, it is better to let someone else take the knife for him.
And at this moment, the city gate suddenly opened, Qin Wei rushed out first, and the Liao general was in a daze, but he didn't expect the Song army to dare to attack.
Even in Yang Ye's era, the Song army at Yanmen Pass did not dare to attack, and could only wait for Yang Ye to successfully sneak attack from behind and the Liao army began to rout, then they dared to open the city gate to chase and kill.
Such a war precedent, and the arrogance of the Liao people was expected.
Some Liao people exclaimed: "It's Qin Wei...... Qin Wei of the Song people is here, brothers, the Song people came out to die, and annihilated this Song army! ”
Only that madman's subordinates would treat Da Liao as a lamb to the slaughter, shouting such a slogan, he must be killed this time.
Kill him, add an official to the knighthood!
Kill him, three generations of wealth!
Kill him, and leave a name for the ages!
Qin Wei rushed to the front, Lin Xiaobei and Xie Ting beside him were like two generals, protecting his side, his long knife was indestructible, every time the enemy blocked, he would find that his long knife had turned into scrap metal in despair.
When Yelu Zongzhen in the back saw this scene, he couldn't help but show a hideous sneer.
"Kill him! I reward thousands of gold, seal ten thousand households! ”
This shameless person actually used a pseudonym to burn down his palace!
And it's not shameless......
The most shameless thing is that he unknowingly completed the arson, so that Da Liao has nowhere to complain about his grievances, and he can't say anything about his suffering.
General Liao also heard the shouts coming from the big tent of the Chinese army behind him, and he suddenly became excited, and slashed towards Qin Wei with all his might.
Clang!
His originally confident face instantly turned into consternation, and he was dumbfounded when he looked at the knife in his hand, the other party actually had such a treasure knife?
Besides, Qin Wei is no longer a rookie on the battlefield, the sharp long knife swept briskly across his neck, and then lifted it up with one hand on his head.
"Wan Sheng!"
In the Tang Dynasty, whenever a general captured the flag, the army would always chant 'Wan Sheng', which was a very morale-boosting move.
Yan Shu stood on the city tower, his eyes widened, watching Qin Wei kill the Liao general, everyone was cheering, and he couldn't help but wave his fist and shout: "Wan Sheng!" ”
As soon as the Liao general died, the remaining Liao troops no longer had the fighting spirit, and they all began to flee in panic, and many died under the trampling of their own people.
The Liao army in front was fleeing, and the Song army was chasing and killing.
"Why?"
"Did you lose?"
Yelu Zongzhen here is a little low, you can see the head of the city, but you can't see the situation ahead, this is the steep place of Yanmen Pass.
Everyone saw the head of the Liao general in front of Qin Wei's saddle.
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
Yan Shu at the head of the city was trembling.
Cao Yan on the side explained: "Yan Xiang, the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, unless it is necessary to boost morale, only by killing the general and capturing the flag, or deciding the battle can you shout victory...... This is...... I don't know what's wrong. ”
"And what do you say?"
Yan Shu was so excited that he grabbed the city wall with both hands, and half of his body leaned out.
Qin Wei couldn't come back, those soldiers were all red-eyed, he was also red-eyed, he threw the Liao general on the ground, and then led the cavalry to drive the enemy away.
The terrain here is steep, and there is not much room for maneuver, which also gives him the opportunity to be bold.
If it was in the plains, Yelu Zongzhen only needed to send troops on the two wings, and Qin Wei could only retreat with the cavalry, otherwise the Liao army would be able to directly flank him on the two wings, or even surround him.
This is the advantage of Yanmen Pass, it is steep, and it is also a decoration when the army comes.
"Block!"
Yelu Zongzhen was shouting with a blue face, but the terrain here was limited, and the army could not be used, so the reinforcements he sent were scattered as soon as the rout was rushed.
This is the first time that Yelu Zongzhen has personally done something to the Great Song Dynasty, and he has always regarded himself as the advocate and host of Song Liao peace before, but this time he couldn't help it.
If you can't help it, you can't help it, the royal drive has to have a good result, even if you can't take Yanmen Pass, you have to make the Song army change color.
As a result, the army attacked the city very smoothly, and successfully took advantage of the previous slackness of the Song people to successfully collapse a section of the city wall, so it should be victorious, right?
Countless examples of wars throughout the ages have told Yelu Zongzhen that today he can go into the city for lunch.
But before lunch was settled, the Song army burned the Liao army into torches with dense oil bombs and gunpowder canisters and blew them into waste......
If only that's it.
But Song Jun's crossbow arrows kept firing, as if the arrows didn't cost money.
The trebuchet never stopped, and all kinds of oil bombs and gunpowder canisters were desperately smashed over, and the Liao troops who were reinforced later suffered heavy casualties.
Far and near combined, gunpowder and crossbow arrows combined...... It's just a combination of money!
Whether it is a fire oil bomb or a gunpowder canister, whether it is an arrow or a trebuchet, these are all money, but the Song army is rich and wealthy, and the Liao army is dizzy.
"Your Majesty, you can't do it here, you have to go back!"
The generals wanted to exert their might, but the terrain here was narrow, so they didn't have a chance to show it, but the rout army in front of them had already come, and they didn't leave......
"Your Majesty, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"
Someone led Yelu Zongzhen's war horse to turn around, and then shouted: "Stop them, stop them with all your might!" ”
After Yelu Zong is really gone, you can wave as much as you want!
A military general shouted: "Don't worry about the front, don't go to save them, let the Song army cut and kill, and when they are satisfied, let's be in the back, and prepare for the ......."
This is to prepare to make dumplings together with the defeated soldiers, and there is no distinction between friend and foe.
"The Song army is out of the city!"
At this time, the crossbowmen of the Song army in front began to run wildly, and no one remembered to form an array, and the crossbowmen were messy, so they began to release arrows.
The crossbow arrows dealt the biggest blow to the Liao army's rout, and the joy of seeing the friendly troops in front of them immediately dissipated.
Because when they saw their former people, they pointed their bows and arrows at them!
Countless defeated soldiers were shouting and scolding, but behind them were the wolf-like Song army, and in front of them were murderous friendly troops, they were rats in the bellows......
"Turn around and kill the enemy! Otherwise, you won't be killed! ”
The Liao army began to shout.
"The Song people are rushing to kill, ready to ......"
The Liao general who was left behind looked at Qin Wei who was at the forefront with a cold face.
He said coldly: "The Song people are not afraid of death and dare to chase and kill? This is the best chance for our army in this battle...... He is dead today. ”
The generals around him were touted, and everyone was looking forward to the Song people continuing to rush and kill.
General Liao pulled out his long knife and shouted: "Don't care about those routs, those who dare to stand in the way, whether it is the Song people or our people, kill them all!" ”
Everyone drew their swords, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
If a big battle is used as a metaphor for the Song-Liao confrontation, then this fight is just a corner, as long as the tables can be turned around, the Liao people can still win a big victory.
"Song Jun...... They went back! ”
Someone stood on horseback, shook his body and scolded: "That Qin Wei, that shameless thing, he took the lead and ran, he ran." ”
General Liao didn't care about any image, so he stood on horseback and observed, the Song army in front had begun to retreat, and those crossbowmen were running wildly at the front at the moment.
This is a hit-and-run, what kind of bullshit celebrity is this, the thief is almost the same!
The rout reacted quickly this time, and they rushed to both sides, leaving a narrow passage in the middle for the main force, and the Liao army swarmed out, but the passage was too narrow, and the speed of the attack was a little slow.
Finally, the Liao people retreated in a hurry at the cost of losing nearly 10,000 people.
……
At this moment, at the head of Yanmen Pass, the captured Liao general Yelu Tiger was tied to the pillar naked, and it was a big character.
A Song soldier was brushing his skin with a brush, probably too itchy, Yeluhu couldn't stop laughing, and gradually the laughter turned into screaming and begging for mercy.
How could the generals of Da Liao ever be so humiliated?
Seeing such a scene, Li Wen, a civil official sent by the Liao people to negotiate peace and exchange prisoners, happened to see this scene and couldn't help but scold: "Beast! ”
He rode his horse all the way, shouting as he went, "So-and-so is here to deliver the word, so-and-so is here to deliver the word......
Later, a hanging basket was put down in the city, and Li Wen was hung up and saw Yan Shu and Qin Wei.
"Qin Wei set fire to Shuozhou!"
Li Wen said angrily: "Whose explanation is this? Emperor Song? If so, Da Liao will give his own answer...... When the army goes south, don't regret it! ”
Yan Shu is silent, Qin is silent.
Li Wen thought that they felt that they were at a loss, so he became more and more angry: "That room is the bedroom of His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor...... Ignited there, what is this trying to do? ”
He felt that Yan Shu was a famous minister, so he naturally would not lie and deny, so he said it very eloquently.
"It's all slander!"
Li Wen said angrily: "Who lit the fire?" Who? ”
Yan Shu said lightly: "Who knows? Maybe the queen mother of your country was dissatisfied with being seized power, so she sent a killer to secretly want to kill Yelu Zongzhen? ”
Wonderful!
Qin Wei couldn't help but give Yan Shu a thumbs up in his heart.
Li Wen looked at the two of them, and was immediately disgusted, "The Song people have destroyed the friendship between Liao and Song, and any counterattack from Da Liao after that is not exaggerated!" The Abyss Alliance...... Maybe I won't count it tomorrow! ”
"Don't frame it for Da Song."
Yan Shu said righteously: "Song Liao has been friends for many years, and he has never been able to fight, but in Fuzhou, you even sent heavy cavalry, what do you want to do?" ”
