Chapter 777 Surrounding Wu Yanguang(1/2)
After waiting for a while, there was no movement below. One of the people climbing on the rope couldn't help but asked softly: "What happened below?"
When Guan Sheng heard someone shouting from above, he originally wanted to pretend to agree, but the person spoke in Khitan. Guan Sheng didn't know what he was talking about, so he didn't dare to answer rashly.
Seeing no response from below, the man asked again: "If nothing happens, just cough."
There was still no echo from below. At this time, all the people climbing on the rope felt something was wrong, because even if they were afraid of being discovered and did not dare to speak loudly, they could still cough lightly, but there was still no response. This proved that they had just gone down.
All those people have been in trouble.
"Climb up quickly, something happened below." The Liao soldiers on the rope shouted, and then everyone started to climb up.
Wen Da used the faint light to see the Liao soldiers starting to climb up, and hurriedly said to Guan Sheng, "General Guan and the others are climbing up."
"Light the torch and cum for me."
Seeing that the Liao soldiers had discovered it, Guan Sheng simply asked the soldiers to light the torches, and fired crossbows at the top. The Liao soldiers who were climbing up were shot down one after another, and several of them were shot to death in a short time.
Hundreds of people.
"There is an ambush by the Song army below, and those of us who went down are all dead." A Liao soldier who climbed up first said to Xiao Daguan who was still on the top of the cliff.
"How did Song Jun know that we were going to release people from this place?" Xiao Daguan asked doubtfully.
"I don't know. I think they arranged patrols in the valley. Those of us who went down just now were accidentally exposed, so they were prepared." Xue Xiong said.
Xiao Daguan sighed unwillingly and said, "Everyone, pull up all the brothers below and retreat."
The soldiers on the top of the cliff pulled up all the soldiers below, and then climbed down again along the rope that climbed up from the outside of the mountain valley.
After about half an hour, Xiao Daguan and the others all climbed down and prepared to go back in formation.
But at this moment, there was a light of torches coming from the surroundings, followed by a shower of arrows. In an instant, screams broke out one after another, and the Liao soldiers who were preparing to line up fell to the arrows.
"Someone is attacking us, put out the torches quickly." Xiao Daguan said hurriedly.
All the Liao soldiers holding torches threw the fire in their hands on the ground and stamped it out with their feet. But just as they stamped it out, many people were shot to death.
After finally waiting for them to extinguish all the torches, another rain of torches was thrown from dozens of meters away and fell among them. Using the light of these torches, another shower of arrows came, and they were shot to death again.
A lot of people.
"Everyone gather together quickly, the shield bearer is outside to cover."
Because the current situation was unclear, Xiao Daguan did not dare to lead his soldiers to fight rashly, so he had to gather together and put shields outside to form a protection to prevent him from being shot to death by arrows again.
When the shield bearers of the Liao army finally formed a shield wall outside to protect everyone, torches lit up in a semicircle a hundred meters away. The semicircle formed by the torches quickly shrank and moved towards them.
It stopped ten meters away.
Xiao Daguan looked out through the gap in the shield and realized that it was the Song army that had surrounded them.
"All Liao troops, listen up. You have been surrounded. If you don't want to die, surrender as soon as possible, otherwise no one will leave here alive." Sun An said on his horse.
Xiao Daguan hid behind the shield and said: "Damn Nanman, you actually used such despicable means to attack us. We would rather die than surrender to you."
Sun An sneered and said, "I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it, so don't blame me for being rude to you."
After speaking, he raised the sword in his hand, and more than 5,000 archers flashed out from behind the sword and shield soldiers, lit the gunpowder sticks tied to the arrows, and then shot towards the shields of the Liao army on the opposite side.
boom!
boom!
boom!
After a violent explosion, the shield bearers on the periphery of the Liao army
All of them were killed or injured. The Liao soldiers behind the shields lost their protection in an instant and were immediately attacked by the Song army's crossbowmen and archers.
Xiao Daguan saw that their entire army would be annihilated if this continued, so he shouted: "Brothers, fight with them."
"Fight it!" Other generals also shouted.
Then all the Liao soldiers rushed towards the Song army. Sun An asked the crossbowmen and archers to take turns shooting and blasting with gunpowder sticks. After such operations, by the time the Liao army rushed to them, nearly seven or eight thousand people were dead.
.
"Archers, crossbowmen retreat, holding torches to illuminate, cavalry, sword and shield soldiers, spearmen move forward, kill me." Sun An shouted.
Then the cavalry took the lead in attacking the Liao soldiers, followed closely by the sword and shield soldiers, and the spearmen also killed them, and the generals immediately fought together.
The archers and crossbowmen quickly retreated to the rear. Some held torches for lighting, while others continued to search for the Liao soldiers with crossbows, and shot whenever they had the opportunity.
Sun An held two swords and charged back and forth among the Liao soldiers, as if there was no one in the desert. When Xiao Daguan saw this, he immediately went over and tried to stop him, but after just seven or eight rounds of fighting between the two, he was struck by Sun An's sword.
Beheaded.
Xue Xiong was not far from Xiao Daguan. When he saw Xiao Daguan being killed, he was so frightened that he hurriedly tried to push out. As a result, he was shot to death by a crossbowman from the Song Army as soon as he rushed to the outside of the killing field.
.
Xiao Daguan and the others brought a total of 30,000 people here, but since nearly 10,000 people had been shot and killed beforehand, they were already outnumbered. In addition, the crossbowmen and archers of the Song Army continued to attack outside, so
The situation on the battlefield soon turned to the side of the Song army, and the Liao army was defeated.
In addition to Xiao Daguan, Xu Wei, Li Yi, Zuxing, Chengzhu Nahai, Guo Yongchang, Ali Yi, Gao Biao, Shunshou Gao, Guo Yongtai, Pan Yi, Zhou Bao and other generals were defeated.
They were also killed by the Song army, leaving only a few generals still struggling to their death with the remaining Liao soldiers.
Qingshiyukou.
Wu Yanguang and his son were ready to invade the valley, but there was no movement in the valley. This made Wu Yanguang feel very surprised, because according to time, there should have been action inside.
"It's strange, why haven't Xiao Daguan and the others taken action yet? Haven't they entered the valley yet?" Wu Yanguang asked.
Wuyan Yanshou said: "That shouldn't be the case. According to the time, they should have already gone in."
"Then why is there no movement yet?" Wu Yanguang asked.
"Then why don't you send someone to take a look?" Wuyan Yanshou said.
Wu Yanguang nodded lightly and was about to send someone when suddenly there was a shouting sound from around him. He was startled and asked: "Where is the shouting coming from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone in the distance shouting urgently: "General, the Song army is coming..."
"Why is the Song army coming to kill you?"
Wu Yanguang felt very suspicious, because Hua Ju and the others were already under surveillance by He Chongbao. If they were to come, He Chongbao would definitely send someone to notify him, but so far He Chongbao has not sent anyone, proving that Hua Ju
There was nothing going on over there. Since there was no movement over Huaje, where did the Song army come from to attack them?
Just as he was thinking about it in his mind, suddenly dense arrows that lit up the rocket sticks were shot from all around. In an instant, they exploded in the middle of the Liao army, killing and injuring all the Liao soldiers who had already formed their formation.
, the war horse was so frightened that it ran around uncontrollably.
"Everyone, don't make a mess, don't make a mess." Wu Yanguang shouted loudly.
Because he knew that at this time, he could not mess up his position, otherwise it would be easy for the Song army to take advantage of the loopholes.
But at this time, it was not that he could calm down the Liao soldiers by just shouting a few words. After all, those gunpowder sticks would kill people, and no one wanted to be killed easily, so of course the first thing he thought about was how to avoid the gunpowder.
Stick to save your life.
Gunpowder arrows continued to shoot like raindrops, causing heavy casualties to the Liao troops.
"Father, the Song Army's gunpowder sticks are too powerful. If this continues, our entire army will be annihilated. We'd better evacuate to a safe place first." Wuyan Yanshou said.
Although Wu Yanguang was very unwilling to leave like this,
But at this point, he couldn't care so much anymore. After all, if the Song army continued to bomb like this, all the 20,000 men and horses he led would be blown up.
Just when Wu Yanguang was about to give the order to withdraw, countless Song soldiers with torches in their hands emerged from all around. Then these Song soldiers gradually narrowed the encirclement, blocking all the remaining people at the mouth of the valley.
Wu Yanguang took a look at the Song army that surrounded them. There were nearly 25,000 to 30,000 people, and they had a complete range of arms, including crossbowmen, archers, sword and shield bearers, spearmen, cavalry, etc.
"Father, we are surrounded." Wu Yan Yanshou said to Wu Yan Guang in a nervous tone.
Wu Yanguang heard the tension in his heart and said, "Don't worry, my father will never let anything happen to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Song soldiers on the opposite side dodged to both sides. Hua Ju rode on the Zhaoye Jade Lion and led Qin Donghao, Zhang Qing, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang, Yuan Lang, Teng Kan and other generals as well as Gongsun Shengxian.
Come out.
"Sir, that person is Wu Yanguang, the first general of the Liao Kingdom, and the person with him is his son Wuyan Yanshou." Gongsun Sheng introduced to Hua Ju.
Hua Ju nodded slightly and shouted to Wuyanguang: "General Wuyan, you have been surrounded. Hurry up and put down your weapons and surrender. Our army of the Song Dynasty is an army of benevolence and righteousness. As long as you surrender, we promise to treat you well."
you.
But if you resist to the end, it will be difficult for all of you to survive tonight.
Whether it's life or death, you should weigh it yourself."
Wu Yanguang looked at Hua Ju by the light of the fire and asked, "Are you Hua Ju, the generalissimo of the Song Dynasty's war against the Liao Dynasty?"
"Yes, I am Hua Ju." Hua Ju did not hide his identity and admitted frankly.
Wu Yanguang cursed He Chongbao in his heart: "He Chongbao, He Chongbao, you useless trash, you didn't even know that so many people from the Song Army had left the camp, which caused me to be ambushed here. Unless I am tonight
Die in the battle, or wait until I go back to see how I deal with you."
"Hua Ju, I, the leader of Daliao, have decided to make peace with your Song Dynasty, and have sent people to Bianjing to meet your emperor, so our two armies no longer need to fight each other like this. How about we sit down and have a good talk?"
Wu Yanguang wanted to delay time, because the explosion here just now was so loud that even people outside of mathematics could hear it, so he was thinking that if Xiao Daguan heard it, he would definitely lead his troops back immediately.
