Zhe Keren gritted his teeth and grinned. The notch in his ear that was shot out by the Liao people began to itch again.

By the time the Liao army began to cross the barracks, the fate of their defeat had already been decided. And found a trap between the camp fence and the city wall, and did not know how to retreat, and even nailed nails to his coffin.

Zhe Keren is proud to watch his hard work some time ago, which has brought rich rewards.

Half a month ago, the outermost defense line of the Liufachuan camp was still behind this piece of trap pit, but when the camp was officially built, a fence was built on the north side of the trap pit. The Liao people could never have imagined that there would be so many traps in the camp. At least more than 100 elite cavalry at the front were all crippled in this pit.

Because of the trap in the horse pit, the cavalry of the Liao army, which still insisted on attacking the city, inevitably slowed down, and the interval between the queues was shortened to no longer exist, and it became the best victim of the thunderbolt.

Although the Liao people were more cautious than expected, the soldiers and horses that entered the camp were less than one-third of the whole army. However, the commander of the Liao army lacked determination and did not order the evacuation at the first time, and if he wanted to leave after the thunderbolt cannon was launched, he would have to pay a huge price.

Flying high in the air, the ship directs the direction of the thunderbolt projection. Eleven Thunderbolt cannons, which were set up on several commanding heights in the battalion, did not use heavy stone bullets that could destroy the city, but threw bags of gravel at the most crowded places of the enemy.

The rubble wrapped in a rope bag either disintegrated in the air and then spilled down, or smashed heavily on the ground, and then burst out in all directions. Both men and horses were smashed and bruised in the rain of bullets that rained down.

And the reception prepared by the Song army, in addition to the stones, there were also burning clay pots containing Yanzhou oil. Once it falls to the ground, a circle of flames is scattered.

In addition to the thunderbolt cannons, the arrows shot by the Divine Arm Bow also added to the chaos of the Liao army in the city. Compared with the thunderbolt cannon with great momentum and first-class sound and light effects, although the Divine Arm Bow is silent, the lives harvested are not less than that of the thunderbolt cannon.

Looking down from the heights, you can find that the Liao army that rushed into the city is already in chaos. The trumpets sounded one after another, but there was no orderly action in sight. Like a swarm of headless flies, they dodged the stone bullets and fire rain flying overhead. With this swarm of flies bumping around, it was wishful thinking to break out of the city or join the rebels who were still struggling in the coolie camp.

And there was finally movement outside the city at this time. The peaks on both sides of the valley, in a few breaths, lit up countless sparks, all over the mountains and forests, like two stars falling into the world.

It was where the rear army of the Liao Division was located.

There were only two archers of 300 men each, which were not very many, and they could be hidden in any small valley. It is impossible for the scouts sent by the Liao people to search all the valleys where they can hide soldiers, and it is not difficult to hide from them. But this adds up to only six hundred soldiers, which is enough to delay or even stop the enemy's escape. And Zhe Keda also led people to join the ambush soldiers and attack the Liao army outside the city.

Standing on a high place in the city, Zhe Keren overlooked the movement outside the city.

With the help of the half moon in the sky, the same chaos of Zhe Keren appeared behind the Liao army. Not to mention the shots from the hills on both sides. Just confirming that they had fallen into a trap would make most Liao people lose the courage to continue fighting.

The main force of the Liao army, which remained outside the camp fence, was attacked by the ambush soldiers, leaving behind their comrades and siblings trapped in the camp and fleeing in defeat. And the part of the men and horses that attacked them clung to it and chased after them.

When he saw it, he changed color, hurriedly recruited two personal soldiers, and ordered: "Go and chase Da Lang quickly, and tell him that poor men don't chase after him." ”

The people were sent out, but in the middle of the night, the leader of the Liao people pursued the Liao people, and Zhi Keda turned back. Holding the helmet in his hand, he frowned as he walked and watched.

"What's wrong with the helmet?" Zhe Keren asked.

Zhe Ke took a big sip, "I was hit by a few arrows and lost the helmet." ”

Zhi Keren looked at the helmet again, and sure enough, the red tassel on it was gone. The face immediately hung up: "Didn't you be careful?!" What to do before rushing then? ”

"This suit of armor with a mask has a slit in the eyes, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

"I mean the armor!" Zhi Keren had a calm face, "This is still the reward that the third uncle got from Pang Xianggong back then, it is difficult to buy a thousand dollars, and in a few years, I am afraid that there will be nowhere to repair." ”

Zheke shouted: "Uncle Sixteen is only worried about helmets?!" ”

"Worry about you for nothing!" Zhi Keren snorted angrily, "Thousands of instructions not to rush forward, all of them have forgotten when they go into battle!" ”

Zhi Keda touched his head and laughed in embarrassment, not daring to reply. His armor is still the old style of mountain armor, as Zhi Keren said, inherited from the previous generation, and the defensive power is stronger than the current standard plate armor - although the armor of the generals is now tailor-made, but the official position is not to that point.

Zhi Keren snorted again and asked, "How many did you run?!" ”

"Half of it." Zhe Keda's face also became unpleasant, "The Khitans are not easy to deal with." ”

He led the army to pursue the Liao. However, while the Liao army fled, it did not forget to leave behind an army of the queen. It was only three or five hundred horsemen that blocked the two thousand soldiers and horses that Zhe Keda had taken out of the road for nearly an hour, allowing the Liao army to escape smoothly.

Zhi Keren listened to Zhi Keda's explanation and sighed: "The spirit of the Khitan people is really not comparable to the Western Thief. In the future, guarding the border will give me a headache. ”

Thousands of corpses were left behind, and the Liao people who came to invade fled back to the Wuqing army in embarrassment. The rebellion in the coolie camps, without the support of foreign aid, was successfully suppressed.

After dawn, after learning that the Liao people had retreated in a fiasco, Xiao Haili was immediately betrayed by the remnants of the party, and all the Khitans who mixed into the coolie camp were all killed in the fire, and none of them escaped. As for the Montenegrin party coolies in the battalion, only sixty percent of the previous ones remained. However, this amount is almost enough for the amount of work that follows.

A big war is finally over.

The word 'big' cannot be said to be very appropriate, it can only be said to be reluctant in terms of scale, and from the perspective of defensive warfare, the results are quite numerous. But the actual battle was not fierce at all, and everything changed as expected. When the Liao people took the initiative to jump down, people couldn't have much sense of achievement. However, looking at the accumulated Liao army heads, as well as a bunch of flags and drums, Zhi Keren still couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Zhe Keda came out of the coolie camp with Zhe Keren. The suppressed party coolie battalion was nothing to look at, and after a period of good killing, the blame for provoking the chaos was blamed on the Khitans, and the remaining Montenegrin party items were much more honest. By the time it is completed, there should be no more courage to rebel.

In the fire outside the camp, there was still smoke curling up. A fire at night was the key to stopping the coolies from escaping and luring the Khitan army to take the bait, but the hoarded forage and wood were burned. Piles of charcoal mined from Shenmu Village were also burning last night. But when you peel away the ashes on the surface, there are charcoal cubes that have been roasted by a smoky fire.

Twisting up a piece of black and shiny charcoal fragment, Zhe Keda asked Zhe Keren: "Can this still be used?" ”

The charcoal was piled up so tightly that when it was burned, the flames burned in the sky, but after burning in the middle of the night, the flames gradually became smaller, and soon they were extinguished by the melting snow on the high slopes on both sides. However, there are still many remnants.

"Burn it and you'll know it." "Speaking of which, it is the same as the coke used in ironmaking today, it is all smoldering. Maybe it will still work. ”

"Then try to see if you can make iron, if you can use it, the blacksmith shop in Fuzhou is convenient."

……………………

"What's wrong with Governor Jerry?"

Xiao Dili, who came back from the bottom of Nuanquan Peak, received the news of the defeat of Liu Fachuan before he entered the camp.

"The governor of Yelu did not obey the orders of the privy council, did not listen to the advice, and attacked the Song army camp in vain. Not only did he fail to save Xiao Haili, who was the internal response, but he also lost his troops and suffered heavy casualties. ”

Although Xiao Dili and Xiao Haili have similar names, their relationship is far apart, and their official positions are even farther apart. But where Xiao Haili is, Xiao Dili is still very clear - the army stationed in Dongshengzhou went south in order to echo the team of men and horses who infiltrated the Song camp. But that should only be an echo, and it should not be the result of attacking the Song army camp in any case.

Xiao Haili fell into the camp of the Song people, and finally failed to get out. Originally, Yelu Luohannu, who was only ordered to pretend to threaten the Song army's camp and echo the incident in Xiao Haili in the Song camp, attacked the Song army's camp in vain, and finally fell into the loss of soldiers.

Most of the Liao army had not yet been besieged by the Song army, and when they saw that the battle situation was not good, they fled against the stormy rain of arrows, relying on fast horses and night. But the more than 1,000 people who broke into the camp fence didn't have time to escape. Even Jerohannu himself was seriously wounded.

This news made Xiao Dili weigh down a boulder.

Xiao Shisan will definitely not let go of Yelu Luohannu, he did tell Yelu Luohannu not to attack the Song army camp in front of the generals before, just make a show so that Xiao Haili can take advantage of the situation to start an incident.

At that time, everyone thought that this was Xiao Shisan's compromise with Yelu Luohannu, who was reluctant to garrison the Wuqing army, but who would have thought that after sending troops, Yelu Luohannu changed his old intentions and went to attack the Song army camp.

From the news he heard, it can be known that it was Yelu Luohannu who saw the fire in the Song army camp and had the intention to seize this opportunity to make a meritorious contribution in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, it was a trap for the Song people.

All the charges for this defeat had to be borne by Yelu Luohannu, even if the failure of inciting the rebellion of the Montenegrin party in the Song camp failed, it also had to be borne by Yelu Luohannu. Even Xiao Shisan could say that he had a plan to recapture the old Fengzhou from the Song people, but it was all ruined by the presumptuous Southern Courtyard King's brother.

Thinking of this, Xiao Dili suddenly felt cold, could it be that Xiao Shisan had calculated the character of Yelu Luohannu before sending him to echo Xiao Haili? !
