Han Shizu

Chapter 931 Chapter 263 Shi Yanchao's Ending
The night was getting deeper, and the cold night wind turned over the mountains and blew across the valleys, but it could not wipe out the life and death of the Han and Liao in the valleys.Nearly two hours had passed since the start of the ambush, and the battle was still going on. The two sides fought fiercely. The corpses of people and horses were piled up layer by layer.

Facing the ambush, there were besieged Liao cavalry in the front and back, and dense archers on both sides. They were almost desperate. Even if it was to survive, the soldiers of the Han army also showed desperate demeanor.

Shi Yanchao led the crowd to resist desperately, and even launched several counterattacks, barely holding his ground.Kang Zaiyu was behind, compared to Shi Yanchao's aggressiveness, he was always vigilant and careful.

Therefore, after the ambushed Liao army launched an attack, his reaction was much faster than that of Shi Yanchao.The Liao army attacked from all sides, cutting them off in the middle, as if they were going to wipe them all out.Although it was the enemy's situation, Kang Zaiyu was not in a hurry to seek a breakout to the south, but sent a part of the rear army to resist the attack of the Liao army, and he led hundreds of cavalry in an emergency drum to intercept the Liao army in the middle. Army launched an attack.

Shi Yanchao in the north, after securing his position, also had the same idea, quickly turned his horse's head to the south, and led people to attack.Facing the crisis, Shi Yanchao completely released his arrogance, always charged forward, fighting desperately with the Liao army, the sword in his hand became sawtooth under countless times of hard slashing and collisions.

The battlefield situation in the valley gradually became chaotic, and it was a night battle, adding to the chaos.The Han and Liao armies, you pinch me, I pinch you, entangled endlessly.

After Shi Yanchao changed three knives and personally beheaded more than 30 enemy soldiers, he finally broke the "knife" that was holding the Liao army in the middle. After half an hour of hard work, the [-] Liao troops who intercepted were killed Scattered, and walked along the narrow road in the valley in embarrassment.

Shi Yanchao and Kang reunited together, but it did not improve the sandwich situation. The army was in chaos, morale dropped, and suffered heavy casualties. The Liao army took advantage of this opportunity to strengthen the arrangement of besieging the Han army. The dangerous situation faced has not been fundamentally improved.

Thanks to the cover of the night, coupled with the Han army's vigorous melee combat, the Liao army was also subject to certain restrictions in combat.However, the initiative of the battle is still firmly in the hands of the Liao army, and it is constantly tilting towards them.

Facing the crisis, there were not many options for the Han army to choose. After urgent discussions, Shi Yanchao decided that after Kang was defeated again, he would personally lead the soldiers to break through to the south and fight a bloody path for the soldiers and brothers.No matter what, Shi Yanchao is not famous when it comes to surprise fights.

However, the one responsible for the interception and killing in the south of the valley was the Pishi army next to Emperor Liao. Shi Yanchao was brave, and launched five waves of attacks in a row, all of which resulted in breakthroughs. , endless stream, can not see the edge.

The soldiers around him kept falling in the struggle to break out of the siege, but they couldn't see the side, so they could only uphold a will and keep making assaults to the south.

Among the mountains, many soldiers of the Liao Army held torches, emitting bright light, increasing the visibility of the bloody battlefield under their feet.Yelu Wuzhi stood on a high place, observing the situation of the fierce battle and listening to the movement of the fighting.

"Although these Han troops advance arrogantly and aggressively, their combat effectiveness is indeed strong!" A sigh sounded from behind.

Turning his head to look, he saw Yelvjing coming up. Seeing this, he hurriedly saluted: "This place is dangerous, and there is no eye for arrows. Why did your majesty come here? Please return to the imperial tent as soon as possible!"

Of course Yelv Wuzhi's words were polite, he knew that Yelvjing would definitely not listen to them.Sure enough, Yelujing waved his hand, pointed at the battle in the valley, and said: "I used to hunt, but now the prey is shortlisted, and the soldiers are chasing after them, how can I not watch it!"

"The ambush has been going on for such a long time, and the sound of fighting is still fierce. Is the Han army's will to resist so strong?" Yelujing said.

Yelu Wuzhi said: "The Han army wanted to prevent our army from returning home, so the soldiers fought bravely to annihilate them. Similarly, our army encircled and annihilated them in order to save their lives. They naturally fought bloody battles. In addition, the Han general was very brave. The Han army was inspired by it."

"Who is the Han general?"

"It is said that it is Shi Yanchao, a general of the Han army!" Yelu Wuzhi said.

"How long do you think it will take to completely annihilate this Han army?" Yelujing asked.

In this regard, Yelu Wuzhi could not give an accurate answer, and the answer was irrelevant: "The Han army aggressively pursued and planned an ambush with our army. However, the time for the arrangement was not enough and it was not perfect. Otherwise, prepare more With firewood, kerosene, and a few rounds of rockets, the Han army can be burned to nothingness, and there is no need for the soldiers to fight the Han army so closely."

Hearing his words, Yelujing pondered for a moment, and said involuntarily: "For more than half a year, Daliao has lost too many soldiers. Since the retreat to the north, they have been marching continuously, and they are quite exhausted. To reduce losses a little is to preserve a bit of vitality. .”

Yelujing couldn't stand the exchange of lives with the Han army, and suddenly asked, "Can you persuade me to surrender?"

Yelu Wuzhi shook his head bluntly: "The minister has already tried it, but the Han army took advantage of the opportunity to rectify and launch an attack!"

"If the Han army has hundreds of thousands of troops, if they are all so stubborn and powerful, how can they fight against them!" Yelujing said.

Yelu Wuzhi said: "That's impossible! The Han cavalry under our feet are the elite of the Han army, and the strong generals have strengthened their troops, so they have such combat power."

"Then annihilate them completely!" Yelujing suddenly said viciously: "Since the Liao-Han War, there has been no result of completely annihilating the Han army. If they can be wiped out, it will definitely boost morale and combat the arrogance of the Han army. !"

Noticing Yelujing's reaction, Yeluwu hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, this Han army dares to chase our army with only a few thousand men and horses. There is no guarantee that there will be no other pursuers behind. The Han army after all There are [-] people, and the king of the South Court needs to take care of the city defense, so it may not be able to completely contain Fu Yanqing.

The minister believes that the safe return to the north is still the top priority.The night is deep, the battle has been fierce for a long time, and the soldiers are exhausted. The Han army may be at the end of its strength, but the battle of trapped beasts will not cause small casualties to our army. "

"What do you mean, do you want to take the initiative to withdraw from the siege?" Yelv Jing raised her eyebrows and stared at Yelu Wuzhi.

Yelu Wuzhi shook his head affirmatively: "Such a siege, the Han army will eventually be killed by us, but it will take time and cause more damage. I suggest that you open a hole and let them protrude, and our army will chase after them. , can not only vent his will to fight to the death, but also easily cause a lot of damage to him, and at the same time reduce the casualties of the Daliao warriors
After this ambush, the Han cavalry were severely injured, and the morale of the soldiers was bound to be damaged. If we dare not pursue rashly, our army can withdraw to Shangjing more calmly.For Yunzhong City, it also played a certain supporting role! "

Hearing Yelu Wuzhi's explanation, Yelujing thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it like this!"

Yelvjing yawned while saying that, left without saying a word, and went back to the imperial tent to sleep.The Liao army did not intend to travel at night, so they stopped after entering the mountain, and set up their tents in a low-lying area five miles north of Guling.

In Gujian, under the leadership of Shi Yanchao, the Han army launched wave after wave of assaults. After fighting hard for a long time, exhaustion had already swept through the whole body.His eyes were red and bloody, choking his throat for danger, Shi Yanchao seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast that was tireless and only knew how to fight. His body was wounded countless times, and he continued to fight with all his strength.

It was also with Shi Yanchao's support that the Han army still had the courage and will to fight on.Although the Han army is elite, it is still flesh and blood after all. The power of spirit and will is indeed strong, but it is not unlimited after all.

With the arrival of Yelu Wuzhi's order, the Liao army, which was intercepting in the south, also began to slowly slow down the defensive rhythm and gradually let go.Shi Yanchao seized the opportunity to attack ferociously and rushed out smoothly.

To the north, knowing that Shi Yanchao had finally opened the gap, Kang Zaiyu gathered his soldiers and horses, turned around, and followed the south to break through.The development of the matter was just as Yelu Wuzhi had predicted. This withdrawal was a defeat, and the Liao army followed behind, chasing and killing them easily.

After several miles to the south, Shi Yanchao stopped at the north entrance of the Great Wall and ordered his subordinates to reorganize on the spot.After waiting for a long time, Kang Zaiyu and other defeated soldiers finally caught up and was immediately called to his side by Shi Yanchao.

At this time, Shi Yanchao was covered in blood, he was wounded in several places, his hair was scattered, his face was shot with an arrow, and a white belt was simply wrapped around it.

Pulling Kang to meet again, Shi Yanchao said directly: "It's my fault that the tired soldiers are in such danger! Now that I have been severely wounded, I will not be able to return to the south. The Liao army let me break through because they wanted to chase and kill me. The plot has succeeded. The general can lead his soldiers to return to the south as soon as possible, and report to the army. If we pursue the enemy from behind, I will stop him with death!"

To be honest, in the face of this crisis, Kang Zaiyu felt very resentful towards Shi Yanchao.However, at this moment, there is nothing to complain about.From Shi Yanchao's eyes, he saw the determination, and he understood it in his heart, so he bowed his hands without saying anything.

"Bring the soldiers back!" Shi Yanchao reached out and grabbed his hand vigorously.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and led the two hundred soldiers he gathered back north to meet the Liao army who were still wantonly chasing and killing.In a generous fight, Shi Yanchao insisted on blocking the Liao army for nearly two quarters of an hour, buying precious time for the rest of the Han army to retreat.

Shi Yanchao beheaded more than ten members of the Liao army again, and died in a fierce battle. He was surrounded by mountains and the Great Wall behind him.

What a pity, lamentable, deplorable, respectable, and equally hateful!
