Chapter 53 The deadly battle in Xiongzhou City

Early on the next morning, Zhongshidao ordered each camp to cook food. After eating, Zhongshidao said to the soldiers: "Today's battle will be a fight to the death. Each camp will smash the pots and stoves, and all the excess food and baggage will be destroyed." Burn it down, and the officers and men will only carry three days of dry food. If we win this battle, we will naturally return to the pass. If we lose, our bones will be buried here, and we will not leave any harvest for the Liao army!"

All the troops followed the orders, and as the fireworks started, even veteran generals like Zhong Shidao couldn't help but shed tears, and said angrily to Xin Xingzong and Yang Keshi on the side: "On that day, Yan Xing attacked this unjust army. Liao was unwise, but it's a pity that Tong Shuai didn't listen, but now it's a pity that these good men will die here today."

Xin Xingzong on the side sighed and remained silent, while Yang Keshi said: "Don't worry, old general, we are alone here. The so-called sad soldiers will win. Now all the generals are united and can fight. But there is nothing we can do. I will protect the old general and break through."

Zhong Shidao shook his head and said: "For the general's highest priority, integrity, I swear to die with all the troops and never retreat. General Yang does not need to say more, just fight to the death with me." Yang Keshi saw that he had made up his mind. So no more persuasion.

After everything was sorted out, Zhongshi Dao ordered his men to beat the drums and go out to fight. When the Liao army heard the drums, they also prepared and left the camp. The two armies were separated by many miles and faced each other at a distance.Zhong Shidao raised his eyes and saw that the people on the opposite side were shouting and neighing. There were actually half of the cavalry. Under the banner of the Chinese army was the commander Yelu Dashi. Next to him were the deputy commander Xiao Qian and sixty or seventy generals. The army was neat and tidy, with bright swords and clean armor. , so powerful.

While looking at it, Yelu Dashi came out of the formation alone and shouted: "General Zhongshidao, please come forward and talk!"

Upon seeing this, Zhong Shidao ordered Xin Xingzong to hold down his position, while he clamped his crotch on his horse and came to stand opposite Yelu Dashi alone.

Yelu Dashi has heard about the name of Zhongshi Dao for a long time, but he didn't get a chance to take a closer look during the Battle of Baigou River, so now he can see his true appearance.I saw that kind of teacher with a ravaged face, white beard and hair, sitting on a horse with a straight back and a strong spirit. He was not old at all, but his eyes that had experienced the world from time to time showed the light of wisdom.Yelu Dashi couldn't help but admire in his heart: "Cao Mengde's poem back then said: 'The old man has his ambitions for thousands of miles; the martyrs have great ambitions in their old age.' I have always disagreed, but when I saw the old general today, I know that this statement is true."

Zhong Shidao chuckled and said, "Are you trying to bully me, the youngest? Do you know that when Huang Hansheng was 72 years old, he could still kill Xia Houyuan on Dingjun Mountain and defeat the Wei army. I am also seventy-two this year, do you know?"

Yelu Dashi bowed on his horse and said, "I have read your Han books well, so I naturally know the story of Huang Zhong, the famous Shu Han general. Today, I see that the old general is as powerful as Huang Zhong back then. It is a pity that your remaining troops were defeated. Is it difficult to If you want to block my majestic army, why not lead your army and surrender? I will recommend you as a general in front of the king, and then you can make great achievements."

After hearing this, Zhong Shidao laughed loudly and said: "You must know that the mourning soldiers will win. A man who is loyal to the country will die a worthy death. I was just about to follow the example of the Han Dynasty when the famous general Ma Yuan returned with his body wrapped in horse leather. Zhuzi's words also want to move our army's heart." ? If you want to fight, then fight. All you have to do is die. No need to say more!" After saying that, he turned around and rode back to the team.

Yelu Dashi shook his head and returned to the front of the army helplessly. He said to his left and right: "At this time, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are different from the past. They should act with caution. Who will step forward with me to call for battle and blunt their sharpness first?" : "Young general is willing to go!" After saying that, he rode his horse to the front of the battle and shouted: "Who is facing the southern barbarians to fight with me?"

Hearing the enemy's call for formation, Yang Keshi said: "I'm here to invite you to fight!" Seeing Zhong Shidao nodding, he jumped on his horse and came out with a gun, shouting: "How dare you, a little barbarian, come here to make a noise?" After that, he drew his gun. prick.

Na Zhahema was tall and tall, holding a huge mace. When he saw Yang Keshi's spear coming, he waved the mace in his hand and tried to ward it off. Then he smashed his head and face towards Yang Keshi's door.

Seeing that the mace was thick, Yang Keshi felt the shock that made the tiger's mouth numb slightly when the spear was blocked. He knew that he was outmatched, so he used the "tang" tactic in the spear to remove the mace.The two of them fought back and forth for [-] or [-] rounds, with their horses at each other and their weapons intersecting, with no outcome in sight.

Yang Keshi went back and forth several times and knew that this man was powerful but slow in stature, so he came up with a plan.He suddenly shouted loudly and stabbed Zahema's chest with his spear. Zhahema quickly swung the wolf-toothed wolf hard to block it.Unexpectedly, Yang Keshi's stab was actually a false move. Before the mace could intersect, the spear tip sank and penetrated into the ground.Zha Hema missed his first block and was a little unstable. At this moment, Yang Keshi swung the gun head hard, raising a cloud of loess from the ground and landing on his face.

Zhahema was caught off guard, his eyes were blinded by the loess, and he couldn't see clearly the other side. He just waved his mace to protect his whole body.Here Yang Keshi saw an opportunity, aimed his spear at the gap, and pierced forward.Just hearing a "puff", the throat of Zahema was pierced and he fell off the horse.

Seeing that Zhahema was killed, Yelu Dashi knew that he could not wait any longer, so he waved his flag and the army came to cover Yang Keshi.When Zhongshi Dao on the opposite side saw Yang Keshi killing the enemy general in formation, he waved his flag and led his troops to charge.

As soon as the two armies clashed, they fell into a bitter battle. The Song army fought with their last legs, and everyone was determined to die and moved forward bravely. After the melee between men and horses, the Liao army's cavalry found it difficult to use.Moreover, the Liao army pursued the Song soldiers for days and killed them in all directions, so they had a lot of contempt for them in their hearts. Now that they saw them coming bravely, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Yelu Dashi ordered his men to hold down the position and not retreat. However, at this time, the Song army was not afraid of death and poured into the Liao army's battle formation like a tide to start a melee.In desperation, the Liao army had to dismount and fight on foot and fight with the Song army.

At first, the Liao army relied on their armor and weapons to block the Song army. However, when the Song army saw that it was difficult to injure the enemy, some of them threw down the Liao soldiers on the opposite side and hugged them tightly despite the weapons. The rest of them fought with swords and guns. Arrive and kill the Liao soldiers.

The fighting started at a fever pitch, with the two armies clashing endlessly. The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, filling up all the lives of soldiers from both armies.In this battle, the loess that was killed turned into blood and mud, and the corpses were piled into ravines. The two armies and horses continued to rush into the field. Those with weapons, regardless of whether they had knives or guns in their hands, just greeted each other. What's more, The killer's eyes were red with blood, and he would rush forward with his bare hands and bite him with his teeth.For a time, the sound of shouting resounded throughout the night.

When the battle reached past noon, the sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds covered the sun, and strong winds blew. Not long after, pouring rain came, mixed with fist-sized hail.

Both sides of the war were ready to fight at this time, and even such bad weather could not stop the fighting.Although everyone on the battlefield could not watch, as soon as the Song army heard the sound of raindrops falling on their armor, they rushed forward and suppressed the Liao army in the field for a while.

This killing lasted for several more hours. As the night got darker and the violent storm showed no signs of letting up, the soldiers on both sides could not see. Seeing that it would be useless to continue fighting, Yelu Dashi had no choice but to order the troops to retreat.

Seeing the Liao soldiers retreating, the Song army went crazy and chased for more than [-] miles before resting. At this point, the Song army fought with a last ditch effort and finally repelled the Liao soldiers.At this time, blood had already flowed into a river on the battlefield. Countless corpses and horses fell to the ground. Flags were floating on the blood. There were screams of pain from everywhere. Mixed with the heavy rain, it became even more gloomy. It looked like a purgatory on earth.
