Chapter 262: Failure to Break Out
The cold water pass is silent, the Liao army there is no movement, the winter here is extremely cold, the wind and sand have been dispersed, the two armies have no intention of fighting, but the people in the cold water pass know that once the Liao army attacks the next time, the cold water pass may be wiped out.
At this time, Feiyan and Hezhang had already come to the camp on the periphery of the Liao army, and their thousands of people were silent, discussing how to break through the defense line of the Liao army and enter the Hanshui Pass.
"I said, auntie, just the formation of the Liao army, don't say that if we bring 1,000 people, we may not be able to rush in. Hezhang said to Feiyan, he thought to himself that this time he really fell for her, he knew that the situation of the Hanshui Pass army was critical, but he didn't expect the Liao army to surround this place so dead.
It seems that Feiyan wants to fight hard, everyone knows this Feiyan's martial arts, no matter how she is, even if she can't enter the cold water pass, she can ensure that she can escape with her whole body, but this Hezhang and these soldiers can't do it.
Feiyan said: "You all be quiet first, let's retreat first, and wait until it gets dark." After saying that, the group retreated back for more than ten miles, and the Liao army still didn't notice it, because they were still some distance away from the Liao army.
There was a light snow outside, the soldiers on the wall of Hanshuiguan stood very neatly, not daring to slack off at all, this Hanshuiguan was full of holes, who would have thought that there were tens of thousands of soldiers guarding desperately, Chaoping was walking around in the post station, he was waiting for Guo Yuntian and their arrival, he was also waiting for Feiyan to come back, but there was no news, the most terrible thing was that he didn't know how the enemy was going to make a move next, what Hanshuiguan would face, if the war failed, he would face that the Great Song Dynasty would no longer have the national strength to resist the Liao army, and if he won, the Liao army could still stop for a few yearsใ
Chaoping went out to find Cao Xinyang and them, and he didn't find the two generals until he was in the emperor's palace, and he told them that if there was any movement of Feiyan outside the city, he must tell him as soon as possible, so that he could go out to respond.
Cao Xinyang and Wan Li looked at each other, smiled, and said to Chaoping: "Brother, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty has already instructed us before, if Feiyan and they have news, we will go out to answer it as soon as possible." Chaoping nodded, finally relieved.
At this time, it was already dark, Feiyan and Hezhang were thinking about how to rush into Hanshui Pass, Feiyan said: "The most difficult thing for us now is not how to rush in, but how to enter Hanshui Pass, because this Liao army position is really far away from Hanshui Pass, and there is still such a long distance." Hezhang said: "No way, we can really rush hard, or we can't go in." Feiyan nodded and said, "Let's storm the past and try it, but we can choose their baggage troops to kill there, and we will pick soft persimmons and pinch them." โ
"That's a good idea. Hezhang nodded in agreement. It was dark, with the night, Feiyan and their more than 1,000 people killed the Liao army's baggage camp, the Liao army died a lot of people, this battle was extremely fierce, but Feiyan their purpose was to return to Hanshui Pass, but what they didn't expect was that there were almost no horses in the Liao army's baggage camp, all of them were soldiers, they couldn't grab the horses, which meant that their breakthrough failed, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, because the reinforcements of the Liao army have come to them, and they are all cavalry, this battle soon Hezhang's soldiers were killed and injured half, Feiyan and the Luo brothers killed a lot of people, and robbed a few Liao army horsesAt this time, Hezhang and other surviving soldiers also grabbed the horses, they rushed madly to the cold water pass, Feiyan they saw that the brothers who did not catch up behind them were brutally killed by the Liao army, and the Liao cavalry troops were in hot pursuit, although the distance to the cold water pass was far away, but it didn't take long, but the Liao army commander Yelu Xiu was ruthless, he found out the situation outside the camp and ordered the crossbowmen to chase and kill them, as a result, the crossbowmen of the large army rode horses, regardless of their troops in front of them began to release arrows, at this time the Liao cavalry suffered heavy casualties, Hezhang they also had little left, and what was worse was that the Liao army had already outflanked the pastand intercept them in front of the cold water pass.
Cao Xinyang found movement on the cold water pass, so they immediately sent reinforcements to rescue, but it was over, at this time the Liao cavalry behind them were shot dead by their own people, and the others ran away, Feiyan Hezhang They became the live target of the Liao army, and the people who intercepted them in front were all carrying bows and crossbows.
Obviously, it was impossible for Feiyan and them to go to Hanshui Pass, so they had to go to the right, intending to go to Hanshui Pass to pass another door, avoiding the pursuers from the left.
Feiyan shouted, "Luo Ying, a few of you go and help General He." These brothers abandoned their horses and ran, and ran forward with the crane chapter, Feiyan resisted the pursuers behind, saying that they were resisting the pursuers, and more importantly, they were resisting the ruthless crossbow arrows that were shot at them.
Cao Xinyang naturally understood that Feiyan was going to enter through the West Gate, so he ordered the troops to be collected and ordered one hundred and ten archers and cavalry to go to the West Gate to meet Feiyan and them.
Chaoping also heard the movement, and the Youyun soldiers reported to Chaoping, saying that Feiyan and they were back, and he hurried to the city gate.
Feiyan and the others finally entered the cold water pass, and at this time, Hezhang vomited blood and was unconscious. Chaoping and the others were all in the city gate looking at Hezhang lying on the ground, everyone knew that he was going to die, this Feiyan shouted like crazy to find a military doctor, and cried silently.
The Luo brothers were covered with injuries, but they were all skin injuries, and they drooped their heads one by one. Everyone didn't say anything, Feiyan cried and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if I wasn't willful, everyone wouldn't die, if I hadn't come to you, you wouldn't be like this now, I'm sorry, if I wasn't in a hurry, it would be good to come with my eldest brother." Hezhang was covered with blood, and the blood on his body had been lying along his arms and covered his hands, Hezhang stretched out a hand and grabbed Feiyan's hand and said: "Don't blame you, Feiyan girl is chivalrous, rare in the world, today I can help the girl come to the border, come in to share your Majesty's worries, I also deserve to die, I hope the girl will protect Your Majesty, and it can be regarded as worthy of me, our Hejia brothers have thought about dominating one side, but have never thought of rebellion." Feiyan cried and said, "I know, I know." Hezhang wanted to speak again, but before he could say it, the person died.
Chaoping persuaded Feiyan to return to the post station, Cao Xinyang and they did the funeral for Hezhang, and the Luo brothers also went to the post station to heal their injuries.
"I'm going to avenge General Tsuru. Feiyan drew his sword and got up to leave the station. Chaoping shouted: "Enough, aren't you messy enough? You are so powerful and being chased and beaten by others, why don't you have a protective General Crane." Feiyan stood silent, she herself didn't have the ability to explore the Liao army camp at night and still retreat, because there were too many Liao troops, and the front was all open land.
Chaoping said: "Feiyan, we are fighting now, not the rivers and lakes, this is a big battle of tens of thousands of people, we can now hold this city from falling, and our majesty who can protect it is comprehensive, this is what we have to do now." Feiyan was rarely scolded by Chaoping so much, he knew that what Chaoping said made sense, so he put away his sword and sat down, saying nothing, very quiet.
