Chapter Eighty-Six: Attacking Yanyun and Swallowing Thousands of Miles, Defeating Youzhou's Canghuang Beigu (4)
Before I knew it, it was time for the red wheel to fall in the west and the new moon to rise, and the surrounding scenery became a little dim. At this moment, the Liao army was chased and ran straight to the vicinity of the barren mountain, and then gradually slowed down.
Zhao Guangyi saw that the pace of the Liao army had slowed down, so he hurriedly pulled the reins vigilantly and looked around at the terrain. I saw that the Song army had chased them to a narrow path, with barren mountains overgrown with trees on the left, dense forests on the right, and the Liao army in front of them.
Cui Han had been on the battlefield for a long time, and hurriedly reminded: "Official, the terrain here is dangerous, be careful of the Liao army setting up an ambush here!" But before his words could land, two fire dragons suddenly appeared on the barren mountain on the left, illuminating the dim mountain forest as bright as day.
Zhao Guangyi was shocked in his heart, and said secretly, "It's not good, there are so many Liao troops ambushed here!" Could it be that the Liao State temporarily changed its plan and sent rescue troops? It will take at least fifteen days to get here from Linhuang Mansion, how did they appear! Could it be that the spy dared to deceive me? ”
When he was in shock, the Liao army on the mountain, armed with swords and guns, rushed down from the mountain under the command of Yelu Xian. The troops led by Yerusha also turned around and reflexively killed Zhao Guangyi and the others. In an instant, the Song army was trapped by the Liao army all over the mountains, and the already exhausted Song army had to start a bloody battle with the Liao army again.
Zhao Guangyi held a sword in his hand, and while desperately fighting with the surrounding Liao army, he said to Yun Zixiao: "Yuntong judge, you are strong in martial arts, kill quickly, and the soldiers who are attacking the city will come to help in the battle, and my safety is tied to you alone!" ”
Yun Zixiao waved the Liuyun Sword, killed a few Liao soldiers around him who rushed towards him, and then hugged his fists and said: "Take care of the officials, Weichen will go back when he goes!" ”
Zhao Guangyi nodded, looking at the back of Yunzixiao flying away, and felt a faint glimmer of hope in his heart. Afterwards, he ordered: "Cui Han, you quickly lead the troops to retreat in the direction of the Gaoliang River!" ”
Cui Han responded, the long sword in his hand became more and more powerful, protecting Zhao Guangyi while fighting and retreating, Yelu Xian and Yelu Sha led the Liao army in hot pursuit, and the Song army that was killed was countless. Fortunately, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was very strong and dedicated to protecting the lord, so it was able to retreat to the vicinity of the Gaoliang River.
Zhao Guangyi looked at the Gaoliang River not far behind him and sighed. He often read in books that "soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent", and he was a little incomprehensible before, but now he understands this sentence completely.
The Song army had just retreated to the river, and before he could catch his breath, Zhao Guangyi suddenly heard a neat and urgent footsteps from the northeast, and he looked back in panic, and saw that it was Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others who led the troops to kill, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others converged with the forbidden army led by Zhao Guangyi, and the situation was reversed in an instant, and the Liao army was once again at a disadvantage. Zhao Guangyi slapped his hands and laughed happily, but Yelu Xian and Yelu Sha were not afraid, and seemed to have the same bamboo in their hearts.
Zhao Guangyi felt a little surprised, but before he could come back to his senses, the northwest suddenly slaughtered 30,000 Liao troops, and the leader was actually the famous Liao general Yelu Xiuge. At the same time, Han Derang, who was trapped in Youzhou City, also took advantage of the weakness of the besieging Song army, and took all the remaining Liao troops to kill in the direction where Zhao Guangyi was.
Where has Zhao Guangyi seen such a scene, it is Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and the number of times he has experienced such a large-scale war is only a handful. At this time, Zhao Guangyi was completely confused, his hands were trembling, and the long sword no longer had the fierceness and domineering of Fang Cai.
Although the emperor is at a loss, the soldiers under his command are still fighting bloodily. As long as Zhao Guangyi did not escape the danger, even if he died to the last man, they would never give in to the enemy. In this way, the army fought from night to dawn, and the fierce battle did not stop.
Everyone knows that this battle is not only about whether Youzhou will be captured by the Song army, but also about the belonging of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and even about the luck of the two countries. If the Liao State is defeated, it will inevitably lose Yanyun, and the once powerful Liao State will eventually become a complete nomadic tribe like the Xiongnu in the past, and will gradually be wiped out by the Han people. If the Song army was defeated, Zhao Guangyi would have to worry about his life, and the Great Song Dynasty might be on the verge of extinction. Neither side can afford such an outcome, and they have no choice but to fight to the end.
Yelu Hugo fought with his sword, and at the same time stared at Zhao Guangyi, who was protected by the Song army, and a crazy idea was born in his heart. But seeing that the big knife in his hand was swinging more and more fiercely, and the more he swung it, the faster he swung it, even though his body was slashed three times by Song Jun and was drenched in blood, he did not hesitate to rush straight to Zhao Guangyi, who was guarded by everyone.
Zhao Guangyi pointed at Yelu Xiuge, who rushed over, and shouted, "Shoot, shoot him quickly!" Whoever shoots Jeruxiu will reward him with a thousand taels of gold! "The most attractive thing in the world is gold, and the most daring to disobey the emperor's order, as soon as this resounding sentence landed, countless Song troops opened their bows and arrows at the same time, and shot at Yelu Huge.
The rain of arrows in the sky came towards Yelu Huge, whether it was the amazing sound of breaking the air or the cold light of the arrows, it was enough to scare people away. But Yelu Huge was not afraid, and still rushed towards Zhao Guangyi without hesitation.
Every time Yelu Xiu Ge waved the big knife in his hand, a blood mist would appear in mid-air, even though the Song army was outnumbered, but under Ye Lu Xiu Ge's knife, it gradually collapsed. With the strength of one person, he rushed straight into the Song army formation with a strong barrier, and he was only a stone's throw away from Zhao Guangyi!
Zhao Guangyi was completely stunned, and shouted loudly for Song Jun to resist, but he took off his dragon robe, blended in the battle group, and fled in the direction where Bianliang was. How could Brother Yelu Hugh let go of Zhao Guangyi easily, he hurriedly took off the hard bow from his back, and shot the bow and arrow straight at Zhao Guangyi's vest.
With a gust of wind, a stream of blood splattered out. Yelu Huge's sharp arrow missed and did not hit Zhao Guangyi in the back of the heart, but in his ass. Zhao Guangyi screamed miserably, and while looking back in panic to check the battle situation, he beat his horse and galloped forward.
Yelu Hugo was unwilling to let Zhao Guangyi go, so he took out two sharp arrows and shot them at Zhao Guangyi's heart at the same time. But at the moment before the sharp arrow left the bowstring, Cao Bin and Pan Mei killed left and right, and each swung a big knife and slashed straight at Yelu Xiuge.
"Whoosh! Sou! At the last moment before the second general approached, Yelu Hugo shot two sharp arrows at Zhao Guangyi, and then threw the hard bow to the ground, raised the big knife and fought with the two.
Zhao Guangyi was galloping his horse wildly, when he suddenly heard the strong wind behind him, and hurriedly urged the horse to gallop forward faster. Zhao Guangyi was not hit by an arrow in the back of his heart, but there were two more holes in his buttocks, which hurt him so much that he almost fell off the saddle. But he endured the pain, still galloped forward with his horse, and finally gradually drifted away from the battlefield. He looked back and saw from afar that the Song army was still fighting to the death to protect himself, and at this moment, he didn't know whether it was unbearable pain or gratitude for those dead soldiers, he actually shed two lines of tears!
