The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 86

Before I knew it, it was the time when the red wheel was falling to the west and the new moon was rising, and the surrounding scenery became a little dark.At this moment, the Liao army was chased so hard that they ran straight to the barren hills, and then gradually slowed down.

Seeing that the pace of the Liao army had slowed down, Zhao Guangyi quickly reined in vigilantly, and looked around for the surrounding terrain.I saw that the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty had chased to a narrow path. On the left was a barren hill full of trees, on the right was a dense forest, and in front was the disintegrated Liao army.

Cui Han has been through the battlefield for a long time, and quickly reminded: "Officials, the terrain here is dangerous, be careful that the Liao army is setting up an ambush here!" But before his words fell, two fire dragons suddenly appeared on the barren hills on the left, illuminating the dim forest. daytime.

Zhao Guangyi was startled, and thought to himself, "No, there are so many Liao troops ambushing here! Could it be that the Liao Kingdom temporarily changed its plan to send reinforcements? But it will take at least fifteen days to get here from Linhuang Mansion. How did they appear? Yes! Could it be that the spy dared to lie to me?"

When he was astonished, the Liao army on the mountain rushed down from the mountain under the command of Yelu Xiezhen, armed with knives and guns.The troops led by Yelusha also turned around and turned around to kill Zhao Guangyi and others.In an instant, the Song Army was trapped by the Liao Army all over the mountains, and the exhausted Song Army had to start a bloody battle with the Liao Army again.

Holding the sword in his hand, Zhao Guangyi fought desperately with the surrounding Liao army, and said to Yun Zixiao, "Yun Tongjuan, you are very skilled in martial arts, go out quickly, and quickly adjust the soldiers who attacked the city to come to help. My safety depends on you!" You are alone!"

Yun Zixiao swung the Liuyun Sword, killed several Liao soldiers who were rushing towards him, and then clasped his fists and said: "Officials, take care, I will return as soon as I go!"

Zhao Guangyi nodded, looking at the back of Yun Zixiao flying away, feeling a glimmer of hope in his heart.Afterwards, he ordered: "Cui Han, quickly lead your troops to protect me and retreat towards the Gaoliang River!"

Cui Han responded, and the long sword in his hand became more and more fierce, protecting Zhao Guangyi while fighting and retreating. Yelu Xiezhen and Yelusha led the Liao army in hot pursuit, and countless Song troops were killed.Fortunately, the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty was very strong and dedicated to protecting the Lord, so they could barely retreat to the vicinity of the Gaoliang River.

Looking at the Gaoliang River not far behind him, Zhao Guangyi sighed.He often reads in the book that "soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent". Before, he still couldn't understand it, but now he fully understands this sentence.

Song Jun had just retreated to the river, and he was still breathing. Zhao Guangyi suddenly heard the sound of orderly and urgent footsteps from the northeast. He looked back in panic and saw that Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others led troops to kill them. Only then was he relieved.

Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others joined the Forbidden Army led by Zhao Guangyi, and the situation was reversed instantly, and the Liao Army was once again at a disadvantage.Zhao Guangyi was so happy that he clapped his palms and laughed, but Yelu Xiezhen and Yelusha were not afraid, they seemed to have the same confidence in their chests.

Zhao Guangyi felt a little surprised, but before he could recover, thirty thousand Liao troops suddenly came out in a mighty manner from the northwest, and the leader was Yeluxiu, a famous general of the Liao Kingdom.At the same time, Han Derang, who was trapped in Youzhou City, also took advantage of the weakness of the Song army besieging the city, and brought all the remaining Liao troops to kill in the direction of Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi has never seen such a scene before, even the great ancestor Zhao Kuangyin, the number of times he has experienced such a large-scale war is probably only a handful.At this time, Zhao Guangyi was completely confused, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, and the long sword no longer had the sharpness and arrogance it had just now.

Although the emperor was at a loss, the soldiers under his command were still fighting bloody battles.As long as Zhao Guangyi is not out of danger, even if the last person dies in battle, they will never surrender to the enemy.In this way, the army fought from night to dawn, and the fierce fighting 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 ownership of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and even the luck of the two countries.If the Liao Kingdom is defeated, it will definitely lose Yanyun, and the powerful Liao Kingdom will eventually become a complete nomadic tribe like the Huns in the past, and will be gradually wiped out by the Han people.If the Song army is defeated, Zhao Guangyi will be in danger of his life, and the Song Dynasty may be on the verge of extinction.Neither side could afford such a result, and they had no choice but to fight to the end.

Brother Yeluxiu was fighting vigorously with his saber while staring at Zhao Guangyi, who was being protected by the Song Legion, a crazy idea came to his mind.But seeing the big knife in his hand swinging harder and faster, even though he was slashed three times by Song Jun and dripping with blood, he rushed straight to Zhao Guangyi who was guarded by everyone without hesitation.

Zhao Guangyi pointed at Brother Yeluxiu who was rushing towards him, and shouted, "Shoot, shoot him to death! Whoever shoots Brother Yeluxiu to death, I will reward him with a thousand taels of gold!" The most attractive thing in the world is gold. No one dared to disobey the emperor's order. As soon as the resounding words fell to the ground, countless Song soldiers drew their bows and arrows at the same time, and shot at Brother Yeluxiu in volley.

The rain of arrows all over the sky came towards Brother Yeluxiu, whether it was the astonishing sound of piercing the air or the sharp cold light of the arrows, it was enough to scare people out of their wits.But Brother Yeluxiu was not afraid at all, and rushed towards Zhao Guangyi without hesitation.

Every time Brother Yeluxiu swung the big knife, a cloud of blood would appear in the air. Even though the soldiers of Song Dynasty were numerous and powerful, they gradually collapsed under Brother Yeluxiu's knife.With the power of one person, he rushed straight into the fortified Song army formation, 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, mixed with the battle group, and fled in the direction of Bianliang.How could Brother Yeluxiu let Zhao Guangyi go so easily, he hurriedly took out the hard bow from behind, stretched the bow and put an arrow straight at Zhao Guangyi's vest.

With a gust of wind, a stream of blood splashed out.Brother Yeluxiu's sharp arrow missed, and instead of hitting Zhao Guangyi's back, he hit his ass.Zhao Guangyi let out a scream, turned his head to check the battle situation in panic, and galloped forward on his horse.

Unwilling to let Zhao Guangyi go, Yeluxiu took out two sharp arrows and shot at Zhao Guangyi's back at the same time.But at the moment before the sharp arrow left the bowstring, Cao Bin and Pan Mei came to the left and right, and each swung their swords and slashed at Brother Yeluxiu.

"Swoosh! Whoosh!" Brother Yeluxiu shot two sharp arrows at Zhao Guangyi at the last moment when the second general was approaching, then threw his hard bow to the ground, and raised his sword to fight the two of them.

Zhao Guangyi was beating his horse and galloping wildly, when he suddenly heard the sound of strong wind behind him, he hurriedly urged the horse to run faster.Zhao Guangyi missed the arrow in the back of the heart, but there were two more holes in his buttocks, which caused him so much pain that he almost rolled off his saddle.But he endured the pain, still galloped forward, and finally gradually moved away from the battlefield.He looked back and saw that Song Jun was still fighting desperately to protect himself. At this moment, he didn't know whether it was the unbearable pain or the gratitude for the dead soldiers. He actually shed two lines of tears!
