Teams of Song troops entered Anle City, and the Liao army in the city could only keep retreating. Now it has lost control of most areas. Yelu Ren, who was standing on the high building, looked at the increasingly unfavorable situation, and finally sighed and ordered: "The whole army obeyed the order and withdrew from the city!"

Seeing that Yelu Renxian finally ordered the retreat, Xiao Hui next to him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately conveyed the order. In fact, the Liao army has reached its limit now. If Yelu Renxian did not order the retreat, they might have mutiny immediately.

At the same time, Hu Yan Shouxin led a cavalry of 5,000 people to ambush the north of Anle City. They have been ambushing here for several days, and there are large troops guarding the other three gates, so if the Liao army wants to retreat, they will definitely leave the north gate, and then it will be their chance to make contributions.

"Report~, the Liao army in the city can no longer hold on and may retreat at any time!" At this time, another horse was rushing to report that they had been in contact with Cao Ma during the period of ambushing, so that they could always pay attention to the movements in the city.

"Very good!" Hu Yan Shouxin was even more excited when he heard this. At the same time, he ordered all the soldiers to get on the horse. As long as the Liao army came out of the north gate, they would immediately send troops to intercept. Given the current situation of the Liao army, it is probably possible that a charge would kill the opponent. At that time, the Liao army would have to let them slaughter.

Thinking of this, Hu Yan Shouxin felt that the blood in his heart was burning. Speaking of this attack on Liao Kingdom, Cao Ma was the chief general. He was a good friend of Cao Ma, and he also knew that he was worse than Cao Ma in terms of credit, but he was still a little unwilling to accept it. After all, the two were originally of the same generation, and he asked himself that his ability to lead troops to fight was not as good as Cao Ma, but his encounter was worse.

However, although he was not the main general in this battle against Liao, it was also a rare opportunity. If he performed well this time, he might have one day ahead of Cao Mai in the future, so he is also holding on to his strength now. Cao Mai also takes care of him. Although he did not put him in the siege battle, intercepting the Liao army's retreat was an opportunity to make great contributions. If he could capture Mr. Yelu Ren alive in one fell swoop, it would be a great contribution.

"The door is open!" Someone next to him suddenly screamed in surprise. Hu Yan Shouxin immediately raised his telescope when he heard this. He saw that the north gate of Anle City was indeed opened. Speaking of which, in order to prevent the Song army from bombing the city gate, the Liao army blocked all the city gates on all sides, but as long as the earth and rocks in the city gate hole were moved away, the city gate could still be opened.

The north gate of Anle City slowly opened at this time, and Hu Yan Shouxin also pulled out his waist and held it high above his head. As long as he gave his order, the entire army would immediately come out.

However, what Hu Yan Shouxin did not expect was that as the city gate opened, a group of people did rush out, but these people did not wear armor or weapons at all. Instead, they carried their children and daughters with big bags. At a glance, they knew that they were the civilians who escaped from the city.

"Oh no, does Yelu Ren have to use civilians to open the way first?" Hu Yan Shouxin couldn't help but frown when he looked at the civilians who rushed out. If Yelu Ren used civilians to open the way first and then mixed the army among the civilians, if they came out, they would definitely hurt many civilians by mistake. Although it is inevitable that civilians will be injured in the war, and the other party is a Liao person, there are too many civilians who are rushing out now. If he really rushed out regardless of the situation, I am afraid that these civilians will still be killed or injured?

Of course, the most important thing is that Emperor Zhao Zhen is behind them, and Zhao Zhen did not come alone. He also brought civil and military officials with him. If Hu Yan Shuixun killed too many civilians, this kind of news would definitely reach the rear. If the ministers kept a memorial, they might be unlucky. The best result would be to offset the merits and demerits, and there would be stains in their resumes.

Thinking of this, Hu Yan Shouxin also showed a hesitant expression. In fact, his future was secondary. The key was that he couldn't bear to attack so many civilians, especially Anle City was close to Yanyun. There were a large number of Han people living here. In the past, there were many Han people willing to support the Liao Kingdom. However, with the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, the Han people in the Liao Kingdom have now begun to be interested in the Song Dynasty, and many people even took the initiative to provide information for them.

Just when Hu Yan was struggling with trust, he suddenly heard someone from his subordinates suddenly say, "General, something is wrong. Why are all civilians coming out?"

Hu Yan Shouxin was stunned when he heard this, and then he carefully looked at the civilians gushing out of the city gate. As a result, as his subordinates said, there were already many civilians coming out now, but the Liao army did not see half of them. If the civilians were allowed to escape from the city gate, it would be impossible for the Liao army to get mixed with the civilians by then.

"This is strange. What is Yelu Renxian's idea?" Hu Yan Shouxin couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself when he saw this. However, he also had a bad premonition at this time. Yelu Ren was resourceful and did not dare to be careless in the face of such an opponent.

"Report~, the big thing is not good. The Liao army broke out from the west gate and broke through the blockade of the brothers outside the city. Now they fled westward!" At this moment, a provocateur ran towards the report loudly.

"Oh no, I'm trapped!" Hu Yan Shouxin shouted when he heard this, and then ordered the entire army to attack the Ximen. Although the Song army was guarding the Ximen, the number was not large. After all, the main attack direction was at the South Gate, and now that the city was broken, the defense on the Ximen would definitely be relaxed, so naturally it could not resist the Liao army.

Even Hu Yan Shouxin immediately guessed that Yelu Renxian might have guessed that they would ambush outside the North Gate, so he let out the civilians to attract their attention, and then he led the Liao army to unexpectedly break out of the West Gate, disrupting their plans.

Thinking of this, Hu Yan Shouxin couldn't help but suck his war horse in anger, desperately urging his subordinates to speed up. However, there was a distance between the North Gate and the West Gate. When they reached the West Gate, they saw that the Song army stationed here had been broken, and the Liao army had escaped far away. Now they could only see the other party's butt.

"Chasing!" Hu Yan Shouxin was unwilling to fail and immediately ordered another pursuit. Although the Liao army broke through the defense line, their defeated army would definitely be full of morale, and the days of fighting had not allowed the Liao army to get an effective rest, so as long as they could catch up, they would definitely bite a piece of meat off the Liao army.

In fact, Hu Yan Shuxin's judgment was also very correct. Although the Liao army escaped far away, their horses seemed very tired and did not escape quickly. As Hu Yan Shuxin's cavalry chased each other closer, a cruel pursuit was about to break out.
