In Xia Jun's big tent, Su Jin sat alone in front of the desk.

He didn't watch the battle like Zhang Yuan and others on the high earthen platform of the big camp, the outcome of the war was actually doomed, and when the Liao army decided to retreat, the victory and defeat were already divided.

Su Jin just didn't want to face the bloody battlefield, although all of this was directed by him, and Su Jin didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but the condemnation of conscience was still difficult to wave.

Su Jin understands himself, he is actually not an iron-blooded person at all, they are all living beings, and they will disappear countless times in a fight, which contradicts Su Jin's deep-rooted concept from later generations; But reason told him that in this era, the law of the jungle is the basic law of survival, and the only way to protect himself is to be stronger than others, from his own life and death being controlled by others to controlling the life and death of others, which naturally has to go through a lot of suffering, and even have the blood of innocents on his hands, but he has to do this, he has no choice The "Strange Heat" chapter is updated the fastest.

Standing in the position of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is from the perspective of the real history and the current situation, there can be no mercy at all, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty is about to usher in a tragic fate, and Ruguo's killing at this moment can prevent the fate of the people of the Great Song Dynasty from being killed tomorrow, Su Jin will of course choose the former; Even if he blames himself, even if he can't bear it, he can only do this.

"Master Su, why are you hiding here, aren't you going to watch the wonderful drama outside? Ren Jingde has already attacked the enemy's camp, General Ximu and General Lang have also broken through the flank, and the army is about to end after the Liao army is broken. Zhang Yuan rushed into the tent with a cold air to report the good news, his face full of excitement.

Su Jin smiled: "It's expected, why be so surprised, I just don't want to see the scene of flesh and blood, Zhang Xiangguo went to watch the battle, and asked Ren Jingde and the others to fight quickly, and the big war is still to come." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, the old man will urge them, but even if you don't need to urge, within half an hour, the war will be over; Master Su, is it time for the main force to prepare to attack? ”

Su Jin said: "Wait a little longer, wait for dawn before chasing, we don't have more torches to illuminate to avoid unnecessary chaos." ”

"But I'm worried that the main force of the Liao army will escape."

"It's half a day's journey to Helan Pass, and now in this situation, they have to walk for at least a day and a half, we don't have to worry, we can definitely catch up; And the night sky is starry, and the sky will be a snowy day, and if it doesn't snow, their tracks will not be covered, and there will be no possibility for them to find another way to escape. ”

"Okay, since Master Su is in his chest, the old man will listen to you, and the old man will arrange it." Zhang Yuan turned around and walked out.

Su Jin suddenly asked, "What about the casualties?" ”

Zhang Yuandao: "I have suffered more than 30,000 casualties in Great Xia, and none of the enemy's 70,000 troops will survive." ”

Su Jin thought for a while and said: "When the war is over, the wounded soldiers are actively treated, and they are not allowed to be executed on the spot. It is the enemy who holds the weapon, and it is the ordinary people who lay down the weapon. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "When did Lord Su have the kindness of a woman?" I don't have a tradition of treating captives well. ”

Su Jin sighed: "Just make an exception for me, Zhang Xiangguo will do it, and I won't force it." ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "That's it, do as you say." ”

……

Against the backdrop of snow, the sky brightened quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, and it was already bright.

Towards the end of the war, under the fierce attack of the 160,000 Xia army, the Liao army was wiped out after 70,000 breaks, and the Xia army finally paid nearly 40,000 casualties, most of which were newly recruited cannon fodder recruits.

The Liao people were indeed brave, in the extreme disparity in strength and inability to fight on horseback, they dragged the Xia army for more than an hour, and caused a large number of casualties, although they were outnumbered in the end, but they bought a lot of time for the withdrawal of the main army, and when the battle ended, the Liao army was already thirty miles away, and Yelu Zongzhen's car was already fifty miles away.

The battlefield was a mess, and the occasional sporadic screams were particularly empty and harsh, it was the Xia soldiers who were dying one by one, and it was better to give them a good time lying in the snow and slowly suffering, although this scene was still a murder, it was the most humane scene since tonight.

The snow had turned into red mud, like a carpet of pink flowers spread on the ground, and as time passed, the blood began to solidify and turn black, and the entire battlefield became a huge black place of death, like the corpse poison spreading in a zombie movie.

In addition to the soldiers who participated in the battle last night, the remaining more than 200,000 troops were ready to go, and tens of thousands of modified sled chariots were all over the ten miles in a radius, as if waiting for the final starting gun to sound, they would swarm forward and rush to the terminal of death.

Su Jin was covered in armor, with a wool coat draped behind him, standing on a high platform, reaching out to take the huge drumstick handed over by the soldiers around him, and shouted loudly: "The last battle, go." ”

The drums pounded, as if they were beating in the hearts of everyone, shaking the hearts and pounding, and the low horns emitted a reckless trill, like an invisible hand boosting, and tens of thousands of chariots moved almost simultaneously, like thousands of snow shuttles speeding towards the east.

The path traveled by the 200,000 Liao army was clear, and the horse's hooves trampled the snowfield out of a muddy avenue several miles wide; It's just that the snow water is frozen into ice when it is trampled, which is even harder and more prickly, and the Xia army pursuit force has to pursue along the snow fields on both sides of this avenue to ensure the speed of the sled.

It was nearly noon, the majestic and tall Helan Pass appeared on the horizon in the distance, under the blue sky and white clouds, there were black cloud-like black dots on the horizon in the distance, which was the back of the Liao army; At the same time as discovering the Liao army, the Liao army also discovered the pursuing Xia army, and the scouts immediately blew the horns, and suddenly the horns rose one after another on the wasteland under Helan Mountain, and the atmosphere was suddenly tense and suffocating.

Xiao Hui gave an urgent order, stopped the retreat, turned the men and horses around, and quickly ordered the cart loaded with baggage to be pushed to the rear, and quickly formed a simple defense line.

The Xia army also stopped the pursuit three miles away from the Liao army and began to quickly reorganize the army to prepare for the attack; Su Jin's chariot then arrived, and the generals had already greeted Su Jin in an open field, waiting for Su Jin's order.

Su Jin squinted at the situation in the distance, waved his hand and ordered: "Keep in formation, eat first, let the horses take a breath, although they run empty, but look at these beasts, they have no strength left, the soldiers in each car have to burn some warm water to soak in the concentrate to feed the horses, and the attack depends on their foot strength." ”

The generals agreed with a bang, and quickly arranged separately, and after a while, the smoke curled up, the food in the summer army camp was fragrant, and the soldiers knew that what would be a battle to the death next, and they all devoured it, even if they died, they had to be a full ghost.

However, the Liao army camp did not dare to move, and the soldiers could only silently chew dry food and eat a few bites in the cold snow, because all their pots and pots had been discarded in the camp, in order to evacuate lightly and arrive at Helan Pass as soon as possible.

The sun shone brightly overhead, and under the sun, hundreds of thousands of troops launched a fierce confrontation in formation, and the flat snowfields with a radius of hundreds of miles had no shelter, and any fancy tricks were useless at this moment, and only the brave could achieve the final victory.

Between the two armies was trampled by the Liao army on the broken passage, a group of larks fell to peck at the few grass seeds exposed, they chirped and jumped noisily, the upcoming battle had no effect on them at all, suddenly, the larks seemed to sense something, and flew up from the ground to the sky, at the same time, almost unanimously, the two armies made a shocking cry, like two rows of turbulent waves, rushing to each other, gradually approaching, until they collided fiercely together.

A super war with a total scale of more than 400,000 people has begun.
