Xiao Lugu didn't know whether he was awakened by the howling of wolves or by hunger.
I couldn't see anything, I could hear wolves howling in the distance, my stomach was growling, I was very hungry, and I had almost no energy.
Xiao Lugu also knew that no matter whether he had the strength to push away the two horses squeezing him, he could not move at this time.
It should be late at night now, when the wolves are active. If he goes out like this, he will die and become food in the wolves' mouths. After finally surviving, he doesn't want to die.
If it were him, he would just die, it didn't matter, but thinking about Bianliang's wife and children, he felt it would be better to live.
They are all dead, everyone close to them is dead.
Xiao Lugu couldn't remember whether it was a few days ago or just yesterday, when the rebels made their last breakthrough and charge, they all died.
His tribe is gone, and he is the only one left...
That day, or rather that time, it was better to say they were running away than a charge.
During the rebellion two years ago, they originally planned to gain a wife and son. Unfortunately, after two years of hard work, they could not escape the fate of being annihilated.
Although, I heard that the Song Dynasty has sent troops to rescue them... Distant water cannot quench the near thirst.
When the Song State sent troops, whether it was from Hebei Road, the Northwest Recruitment Division, or even Hedong Road, where the Yan Army Division was formerly located in Heishui Town in Western Xia, a large number of Liao soldiers intercepted them.
But their rebels still couldn't hold out until the Song army came over...
It was unclear how many days ago, the king was exhausted. Although he kept shouting that the Song army would arrive soon, the soldiers all knew that it was impossible.
The Liao court had completely surrounded the area without any gaps.
Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged them, and when Xiao Lugu was still conscious, there were only less than 20,000 people left.
At the last moment when Xiao Lugu was awake, the king told the truth: "Escape for your lives! I, Yelu Yixin, originally wanted to lead everyone to a great future, and I wanted to protect my century-old foundation of Daliao from collapse...
···It’s no longer possible now!”
At that time, Xiao Lugu also felt a little sorry for the king.
Their tribe is the traditional territory of the king... Unfortunately, the king cannot bring them a future. From the moment he rebelled against the court, Xiao Lugu knew that there was no future.
"Song State has sent troops... Unfortunately, the imperial court will not give us any time to breathe, nor will we be allowed to continue to live. In just these two days, the imperial army will be fully mobilized for encirclement and suppression..."
··”
The king choked with sobs, and Xiao Lugu also wanted to cry at that time...
"I, Yelu Yixin, can't help you all. I couldn't lead you to a good future, but I came to a dead end... I won't talk about it anymore. It's useless to say anything now."
"I will distribute all materials today, including the Song Dynasty's military rations, powerful crossbows, divine arm crossbows, various crossbow arrows, sleeping bags, marching tools, etc., etc."
"Let's get together and part ways... At midnight, I decided to break out of the encirclement. Regardless of success or failure, if you can accompany me, Yelu Yixin, to this last moment, we can live and die together."
"No matter who can get out alive... I, Yelu Yixin, can't get out, and the court will not allow me to live. No matter who gets out, remember to go back to Bianliang to take care of the wives and children of my colleagues..."
·”
After saying that, the king took the lead, and all the soldiers drank the strong wine sent by the merchants of the Song Dynasty...
Then, their breakout began.
The king has completely ignored it. This breakout is more like committing suicide. There is no plan and it is not an organized breakout... The level of chaos on the battlefield is really unimaginable.
The imperial team has been preparing for a breakout, focusing on the northwest, and sending heavy troops to the north for defense. Who would have thought that the rebels, numbering less than 20,000 in the end, would break through in all directions at midnight?
Therefore, immediately after breaking through, the entire grassland with a radius of dozens of miles was in chaos.
Xiao Lugu is the king's headquarters and has always followed the king.
"In such a predicament, even warriors will collapse. Everyone has their own ideas and thinks that their breakout direction is correct..."
"So, once the breakout begins, without a unified command, it will be quite chaotic. We have to wait and have to be patient. Not the one who breaks out first will be lucky enough to succeed."
At that time, when the king was suppressing his headquarters, he said this, as if he was explaining to everyone, and also seemed to be encouraging himself.
There are only 3,000 cavalry in the headquarters, so there is no need to worry about escaping for a while in the huge grassland...
It is indeed true that the breakout at midnight suddenly became chaotic, and the shouts of killing were the most intense in the south... There are always people who will do the opposite.
When a large group of cavalry from the northwest surrounded them to the south, the king ordered to break through directly to the northwest.
At that time, Xiao Lugu understood that the other tribes were once again used by the king to attract the attention of the imperial army, while the king led his troops to break through to the northwest.
Thinking about how he was incited to rebel by the Imperial City Secretary of the Song Dynasty in Hebei Province, and then seeing how the king betrayed his own people again, Xiao Lugu seemed to feel a lot less guilty.
The strategy was originally useful, but it was a pity that the imperial court had a large number of troops. A large number of troops supported the southern front and did not affect the layout of the northwest defense line.
But the king, with his headquarters, dived in...
Although it was midnight and a moonless night, when Yelu Yixin led the three thousand remaining soldiers of his headquarters to break through, they were still blocked by the imperial army. As soon as they made contact, the battle became intense.
Originally, the attire of both sides was the same, but in the imperial team, at night, all the soldiers tied white cloth on their sleeves, making it easy to identify...
Yelu Yixin also thought about making a sign or something, fearing that he would be recognized. As a result, the court made a sign, and the rebels were still recognized.
Xiao Lugu watched his clan uncle being surrounded by four or five people and slashed to death. The scimitar was pointed at his clan uncle more than once. The clan uncle was still rushing forward desperately, trying to tear a hole in the encirclement...
····
That clan uncle is very brave and has always been a warrior in the tribe...
Xiao Lugu couldn't stand it. Although he always felt that staying alive was the first need, when he saw such a situation, he was still impulsive and rushed forward without any hesitation.
A flail seemed to be thrown from the right, and Xiao Lugu felt that he was about to die... The war horse, which had cooperated tacitly for many years, took off in the air at that moment, and suddenly turned... The flail hit the war horse.
head of.
The moment the war horse fell suddenly, Xiao Lugu acted like a conditioned reflex and used force to get away from the horse. Before leaving for a little longer, the war horse arrived.
Before Xiao Lugu had time to get up, a war horse also fell to the left... and it also brought with it a broken head of its companion...
As for Xiao Lugu, he was hit by the war horse on the left and fainted. He was squeezed between the saddles and backs of the two war horses until he woke up now.
