The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Yelu Hongda, the former commander of the Western Liao army, led his troops to reinforce and search for the traces of the Song army. They crossed the dry riverbed and entered the Gobi Desert for ten miles. There were dozens of large and small continuous groups in front of them.

There are constant mounds inside, and there is no grass or tree here. There is a sea of ​​black stones and sand everywhere. Now there are weapons and corpses. Traces of fierce fighting can be seen everywhere. It is reported that the search team was surrounded by the Song army in this area.

.

Yelu Hongda took a breath. He knew that this was a 'Devil's Castle', all of which were towering mounds of various shapes, sand dunes, like canyons, and the roads inside were complicated. Not only were they prone to ambush, but they would be unaware of it.

Lost, he wanted to come and go to the search team to hide in order to avoid the siege of the Song army. He did not dare to enter rashly, so he sent a team of detective cavalry into the search, find out the situation, figure out the strength of the Song army, and at the same time make everyone more vigilant.

Prevent the Song army from sneak attacks.

More than half an hour later, the scouts reported that they went deep into five miles and heard the sound of fighting in front of them, because there were Song troops around and they dared not approach them, and the terrain was complex and could not judge the enemy's deployment and strength. Yelu Hongda was a little hesitant, and this was the case.

Like a maze, you will get lost if you are not careful. They are in the light and the enemy is in the dark, and they are easily attacked. However, their own people are trapped in it and cannot be saved by death.

"The three armies obey orders. We enter along the main road. We cannot divide our troops without authorization. After discovering the enemy, we will quickly annihilate them. After rescuing our companions, we will immediately withdraw from the same route!" The Song army fought for 2,000 people for a night but failed to eat them. From this, we judged the strength of the troops and

There were not too many. Yelu Hongda thought about it and decided to go in and save people, but he still left two thousand soldiers outside to support him. The brigade was divided into three armies in front, middle and back. The teams were separated to avoid being trapped at the same time.

The road is more than 30 feet wide. It is possible to allow the brigade to march, and various units of the Western Liao army entered one after another. They rushed to the place where the battle was still going. Yelu Hongda led the central army to walk in the middle. At this moment, they had already penetrated five miles and only looked at it.

The corpses all over the ground had not yet arrived at the battlefield. Just when he was confused, the vanguard came to report to the Song army, and they immediately killed them and met with the trapped friendly forces.

'Boom...' Before Yelu Hongda could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly several explosions came from behind, like thunder thunder rising from the ground. He hurriedly looked back and saw the dust covering the sun rising into the sky. And along the road

It rolled in, as if it had encountered a storm, and soon all the people were trapped in it, and no one was seen ten steps away. The marching brigade immediately fell into chaos, and people shouted, neighed, collided with each other and trampled on each other.

After a while, the dust fell a little, and the soldiers at the rear of the team came to report in panic. The sand dune behind the way suddenly collapsed. The road was blocked and the people could not cross it, which blocked the contact with the defender. Yelu Hongda was even more surprised to win over.

The mound of more than ten feet was knocked down in an instant. How much force would it take to block the road? They searched on both sides of the road. They did not find any Song army in the presence. Could it be that this was the God-assisting Song army?

"Go forward immediately and find a way to break through!" The situation is now very clear. The Song army is trying to cut off their retreat, so they cannot think too much. Yelu Hongda hurriedly ordered.

The soldiers and generals hurriedly sorted out their formation and quickly advanced forward, but they didn't know that they could only take two hundred steps. There were another series of loud noises in front of them. This time the blasting point was very close to Yelu Hongda, and he saw with his own eyes the two mounds in front of him fiercely.

The ground shook, as if it was pulled up and put down by someone. After trembling a few times, it poured inward. The moving team ahead was too late and could not hide. It was instantly swallowed by the pouring sand.

'Ye'er...'In the face of this power of moving mountains and seas, people were scared to the sky, not to mention the most frightened animals. In the face of the sudden disaster, they could no longer remain silent, and screamed loudly and flew over their hooves.

The slasher ran around in the dust in the sky, and the petrified masters fell down and stepped on their iron hooves.

Yelu Hongda was not spared in the chaos and was knocked down by a frightened horse. The guards were not in a hurry to rescue him. Fortunately, he was experienced in the battle, and his old arms and legs were quite flexible. He rolled and hid on the side of the road.

But it is inevitable that he can save himself and cannot save others. He can only watch the soldiers in the fog go in chaos, conflicting and unable to stop it. How sad this will be for a future that leads the army.

...

When the dust settled, everyone found that the two explosions separated the central army from the vanguard and the defender, and they were in a situation where there was no way forward and no way to retreat. The panic caused was even more serious than the explosion just now. "Song Army...

"A sudden howling that was no longer human voice pushed everyone to the fearful **. The Liao soldiers looked around in panic and saw countless figures of Song soldiers emerging from the sand dunes on the side of the road. They bent

The bow and arrow aimed at the Liao army on the road.

"Don't panic, prepare for the war!" Yelu Hongda struggled to stand up, drew his sword and shouted loudly to restore order. At this moment, in order to avoid the collapsed mound, the troops rushed into the middle and squeezed into a group. The Song army only had an arrow.

Rain can kill a piece of it. But everyone just took a bath in the sand and soil, and they were all yellow and like natives. Where can they tell who is who is who, and how can they know that the person dancing around with a knife is their general.

"We are surrounded by the Song army, fight out!" Seeing that the road was blocked, some people wanted to break through the storm quickly and rushed towards the road. In the chaos, people had not yet recovered their thinking ability. When they saw someone taking the lead, they followed them back and rushed back.

Go, but the towering and steep mounds deter the war horses. They had no other way except to fly out with their ribs. Some desperate soldiers dismounted and tried to climb over, but how could the Song army above agree? The strings sounded randomly.

The Liao army was shot and rolled downhill.

"Save your weapons and surrender, Rao Er and others!" A rain of arrows shot back the Liao army who wanted to break through, and the blood of their companions also calmed them down. These people hid behind the horses and held their shields to protect the vital points and did not dare to move rashly.

The Song army heard the voice of surrendering in unison.

"I am Yelu Hongda, the former commander of the army. Let your chief general answer!" Seeing the steep mounds on all sides, these thousands of people were like a group of mice falling into a box, and they were crowded together in panic.

The Song army was condescendingly and prepared for the battle. Yelu Hongda realized that it was impossible to rely on his own strength. He stood up and raised his neck and shouted loudly at the Song army.

"I admire Yelu's reputation for the great master. I am Liu Ji, the commander of the Western Expedition Army of the Song Dynasty. I don't know what the governor wants to ask!" The Song army raised the general flag, and someone under the banner replied loudly. As for whether it is true or false, only God knows whether it is true or false or long.

It's.

Liu Ji was also an old man from Xiangyi Army. He started as a chef and after layers of training and selection, he was now the head of the logistics bureau of the Hedong Town Fushi. This Western Expedition was appointed as the commander of the logistics detachment.

After evacuating Yanbo City, he moved here. Unexpectedly, the military supervisor arranged a combat mission for them, so he revealed his flaws to lure the Liao army search team here, and then besieged them, and used them as bait to lure them.

Many enemies come here, causing the enemy to constantly divide their troops and reduce the pressure when attacking the enemy's camp.

After the baggage detachment was ordered, Liu Ji used his brains to find a way. He would definitely not be able to benefit from fighting against the enemy cavalry. Moreover, the military supervisor had orders not to kill them, and it would be better to capture them alive to benefit the negotiations later. He thought about it.

I thought for a long time that I had two major advantages: one is the complex terrain and special landform of this Devil City; the other is that I also have magic weapons in my hands, that is, the engineer battalion that is good at blasting operations. As long as the enemy can lure in, the mountain pass will be blocked.

When the road is blocked, the enemy can't run away even if he wants to. He will just leave and die if he wants to come down!

"Tong Liu, I advise you to let us go and let us leave, and we can still save our lives. Otherwise, the army will make you not leave when it arrives!" Hearing that the other party asked a civilian leader to answer him, Yelu Hongda

When they were angry, they spoke without hesitation and threatened. At this time, everyone recognized their governors and gathered to raise the flag and erected the shield in front of them to avoid being injured by the Song army. This is

Has some momentum.

"Tsk tsk, Yelu Dutong is really polite. Unfortunately, your army is hard to protect itself at this moment. It will be impossible to come for a while. Don't wait!" Liu Ji shook his head and said, smacking his lips.

"Hmph, even if the army doesn't come, I can kill you guys!" Yelu Hongda was shocked, but he didn't believe it. He thought it was the other party who was intimidating, so he continued to threaten, but everyone listened to the governor's words.

Feeling a little lack of confidence.

"Yelu Dutong should not hold on. Your vanguard is already trapped in the canyon in front, and the rear army and those who are outside are trapped on the road behind you. However, they are very sensible and have surrendered. Now they are thinking about it.

My emperor married your Shu princess from the Great Liao Dynasty. The two countries are still in-laws. We don’t want to make relatives turn against each other for some trivial matters and make them laugh at outsiders. So we have been tolerant and never kill them, otherwise... hehe!" Liu Ji said halfway, but he

I believe the Western Liao army all understand what it means.

"Don't exaggerate. My Liao army is full of warriors, how could it be surrendered to you sinister Han people? You are also opponents!" Yelu Hongda was unwilling to admit it, but he already believed in his forwards and the defenders must have been with him.

They were treated alone, otherwise they would not sit idly by and watch themselves be trapped. But now they can't hear the shouts of killing, and they think they were trapped in a trap.

"Yelu Dutong, judging from your age and your full Chinese language, I think I have fought a war with the Jurchens in the Central Plains. If you can win, they will not hide in this remote place. Now the Jurchens have seen us

We can only escape by looking at the wind, and we are not embarrassed to surrender!" Liu Ji said with a smile.

"You..." Yelu Hongda was choked and his tongue was flushed and could not speak.

"Yelu Dutong, it's going to be dark. We don't have time to reminisce about the past with you. You can choose two ways: one is to put down our weapons and surrender, we will eat meat, drink and be friends; the other is to bury our bones in this devil city.

!” Liu Ji's face suddenly changed... (To be continued...)
