Looking at the position three or four miles away, there was a cavalry force composed of his personal guards as the backbone, plus the elite security forces, a total of fifty cavalry.
After being surrounded and killed by several times the Liao people, only a few people were left.
It was also after being completely overwhelmed by hundreds of Liao soldiers' elite cavalry.
The soul of the Western Army in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jiedu Envoy of the Baojing Army, the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Routes of Shaanxi Province, and the Economic and Strategic Envoy of the Jingyuan Army. He is now 71 years old and is honored as the Seed Master of Lao Zhong Xianggong.
After sighing silently, the emotions in my heart were quite complicated.
In addition to being anxious and fearful about the current situation, there is also a considerable amount of regret.
Yes! Master Zhong said that he regretted it; he never thought that he led the most elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty, and for the reason of preserving his strength in this battle against Liao, it would eventually lead to the terrible result in front of him.
Not only would the entire army be defeated, and no one knew how many people would die, but the Western Army would also be severely damaged.
More importantly, even he himself is now in big trouble.
In the end, Mr. Zhong was very lucky and managed to escape.
It was at this moment that Liao Qi, who had been tightly surrounding the village, suddenly opened up at the entrance of the village.
After hearing this, Zhong Shidao replied:
"It's too late. The whole army should be ready to break out. Instead of being trapped here by the Liao soldiers, let's see how many people can rush out. You are all the backbone of our Western Army. If you can survive one more person, there will be more."
Just live alone."
A large group of Song troops are currently tightly surrounded.
The people who surrounded them were thousands of fine cavalry led by Yelu Dashi himself.
But as soon as he returned to the village, thinking of how difficult the situation was at this time, the leader of his personal guards suddenly knelt down and said with a cry in his mouth:
The small group of cavalry that was strangled just now was the envoy he sent to Xiongzhou City to ask for help, or to gather other large armies for rescue based on a little luck.
After saying that, he tightened the belt tightly, making his originally curved waist stand straight, and he no longer looked as old as before.
Hu Biao and others finally stopped moving forward, secretly poked out a bit of their heads from the weeds, and began to observe carefully.
The only option is to escape into the village and wait for help.
The Song troops in the village had to resist hard, and for a while there was no chance to break out...
But even so, Hu Biao and his group decided to go over and have a look before talking.
Hu Biao and the others actually didn't know that in this battle in history, there was such a king-versus-king scene.
There was some movement caused by a large number of war horses running there; according to the current battlefield environment, it should not be anyone else except Yelu Dashi.
With such a sentence, he made it clear on the spot that he would rather die than surrender.
It's not that he didn't know that if he escaped into this village, he would be trapped by the Liao soldiers. It was actually a very helpless approach since he was closely pursued before.
It was because of the appearance of people like them that the situation in front of us was finally caused by the change of some small details.
He had been prepared for a long time and commanded his troops to rely on strict formations to fight against them. He believed that as long as the Liao soldiers encountered a few obstacles, they would naturally give up.
Now that the Liao Kingdom is at the end of its rope, even if it wins this battle, it is impossible to continue fighting the Song Dynasty; it is just a matter of taking advantage of the victory to let the Song Dynasty take the initiative to sue for peace, so that they can turn around and deal with the Jurchens.
With the cover of these weeds, Hu Biao and others slowed down their movement and successfully approached them along the way without being discovered by the Liao soldiers in advance.
I never thought that those Liao people would be so worried.
Because on the way there, I was worried that I would encounter spies from the Liao soldiers and be discovered in advance by the army led by Yelu Dashi, causing this operation to end before it even started.
As a result, in the constant fighting along the way, there were only more than 2,000 fine knights surrounding him, but now there were only 1,230 knights left.
There are guarantees about safety, and Zhong Shi Dao also believes that they will not be false.
After he retreated a little, he gave an order. In addition to the five hundred or so personal guards guarding the left and right, the remaining more than two thousand elite cavalry slapped their horses and headed towards the village like a tide.
Kill in.
The only problem is that the current location of Yelu Dashi and others seems to be slightly different from what Zhu Qianjun, the capital of the Baojing Army, said.
By the way! Everything has changed so much today, even this veteran who has been fighting for a long time is quite speechless when he thinks about it now.
After taking a few quick glances and seeing clearly the situation in front of them, these people cursed each other with the word "f*ck".
But once he surrenders, the reputation and management of their family for hundreds of years will be completely lost.
Therefore, Hu Biao and the others became more and more cautious.
Fortunately, the vast area from Baigou River to Xiongzhou is an endless plain.
Originally, when the elite cavalry of the Liao army suddenly came to kill him, he was still confident.
Regardless of what Yelu Dashi said, the above words sounded very nice, but to put it bluntly, they were nothing more than making Zhong Shidao surrender and become a rare and habitable prisoner.
However, due to many reasons such as wars, a large number of people fled; so much so that as soon as official roads were opened, the wilderness was filled with weeds as tall as a man.
Now, Nayelu Dashi personally led thousands of fine riders to surround this deserted village.
Finally, they arrived at a distance of more than two miles from the army where Yelu Dashi was.
Then, without waiting for Nayelu Dashi's further persuasion, he took some personal guards around him and retreated towards the village.
So after hearing the words, Zhongshidao said calmly: "I am crazy about living a life of 70%. Even if I die immediately, it will not be considered a premature death. I will not bother you in your military camp."
They can feel that they are at 2 o'clock, seven or eight miles away.
In the end, the two sides were only a stone's throw away and stopped to confront each other.
"Mr. Zhong, why don't you let me lead my brother to charge again? Even if I risk my life, I will definitely spread the news that you are trapped like this."
Zhong Shidao's guess was absolutely correct. The words that came clearly to his ears after the man spoke proved all his guesses:
"Yelü Dashi, I have met the old Mr. Zhong. From the military point of view, Mr. Xianggong can be regarded as a veteran who has been in battle for a long time. Naturally, he can see that the situation is over now and there is no chance.
Dozens of riders slowly stepped forward and stopped only when they were a stone's throw away from the village entrance.
Why don't you come back to camp with me and have a drink and talk, and you can also ask a certain gentleman for advice."
After thinking of something, Zhong Shidao arranged his clothes and armor and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Even if that person hadn't spoken yet, Zhong Shidao knew that that person was definitely the opponent who defeated him this time, the eighth generation grandson of Yelu Abaoji, the founding emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi, a Khitan.
In this way, all they need to do is wait until the baggage troops who set out first arrive safely at the foot of Xiongzhou City, and then they can slowly retreat.
It's just that Yelu Dashi was more decisive and rushed out of the village without waiting for Mr. Zhong and his party to be ready.
Judging from the big flag and the way the leader is dressed.
Judging from the large flags raised high in the village, the people surrounded were actually the soul of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, the old Zangxiangong Zhongshidao.
*******
Hu Biao and other people, after riding their war horses for about five or six miles, they discovered the whereabouts of the army that should be led by Yelu Dashi.
However, there is no need to worry, Mr. Xiang, as a younger generation will not do such unreasonable things.
Not only did he pursue the disorganized infantry under his command, but Yelu Dashi himself personally led his elite cavalry to pursue him wildly, assuming a posture of determined to capture him.
But since the north wind blew, followed by a sudden hailstorm not long after, the formation of the rear-end troops he led was thrown into chaos.
Because they could see a small village a few miles away.
Unfortunately, with the death of all these envoys in the battle, it seems that the last possible chance has been shattered.
Because of his rich combat experience, he clearly saw that a tragic defeat was inevitable, so he acquiesced to his generals and retreated with the cavalry to protect him.
However, amid the sound of horns, Liao soldiers, at least twice as strong as they were, rushed towards the village.
The Song soldiers in the village can only resist the situation.
If they don't take action soon, the famous Mr. Zhong may not be able to die at the age of 75 as he did in history.
It's like saying that they encountered big trouble again...
