Chapter 931: Xiao Yanshou's Death

In the cold north wind, the two cavalry fought together like two dragons, Xiao Yanshou, who was old and strong, held a gun in both hands, and a big iron spear went out to sea like a dragon under his dance, and he had picked eighteen Jurchens to fall off his horse, seeing that Xiao Yanshou was so brave as the main general, the Liao cavalry behind him was also mighty, and he followed closely behind Xiao Yanshou and rushed out.

"Don't fight, everyone rush east with me!" Finally broke through the encirclement, Xiao Yanshou immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him, and then fled to the east in the lead.

Previously, in order to cover most of the retreat led by Xiao Hanjianu and others, Xiao Yanshou took the initiative to lead a cavalry to contain the Jurchen army, so that the main force could partially withdraw from the battlefield, so as to escape from this unfavorable situation of attacking from both sides. Speaking of which, they were also very lucky, at the beginning, the Jurchens did not expect that they would take the initiative to attack, and they were caught off guard, but after the Jurchens reacted, the five thousand cavalry in Xiao Yanshou's hands were killed and retreated, and they could not stop the sharp soldiers of the Jurchens at all.

But fortunately, at this time, the army led by Xiao Hanjianu had bypassed the battlefield and successfully evacuated, although Aguta had discovered the movements of the Liao army, but the troops in his hands were too small, and he was dragged by Xiao Yanshou's cavalry, so there was no way to chase after him, but this also made him ruthless, and finally simply stopped paying attention to the fleeing main force of the Liao army, but concentrated on besieging Xiao Yanshou's thousands of cavalry, it seems that he must stay here.

In the face of this terrible situation, Xiao Yanshou could only retreat while fighting, but soon when he was about to retreat to the city of Liaoyang Mansion, Gao Yongchang in the city finally understood that the Liao army was going to escape, and at the moment with the mentality of beating the water dog, he finally opened the city gate and attacked Xiao Yanshou back and forth with the Jurchens, it can be said that Xiao Yanshou has fallen into a desperate situation at this time. Even Xiao Yanshou thought that he was really going to die under the city of Liaoyang Mansion this time.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the combat effectiveness of Gao Yongchang's army was too poor, they surrounded Xiao Yanshou's cavalry from the rear, these thousands of cavalry had been wiped out by the Jurchens, and most of the rest were scarred, but the tens of thousands of soldiers under Gao Yongchang did not even block these remaining Liao cavalry. There are many people who have not yet made contact with the Liao army, so they shouted and threw down their weapons and ran, because they were killed too badly by Xiao Yanshou before, so many people have an instinctive fear when they see the Liao army.

As an excellent general, Xiao Yanshou was also very keen to discover the abnormality on Gao Yongchang's side, and he was also overjoyed at the moment, ignoring the Jurchens in front of him, turning around and rushing towards the Bohai people behind him. As a result, these remnants of thousands of Liao troops were easily killed from the encirclement of tens of thousands of Bohai people, which made Ah Guta, who was chasing behind, also curse to the Bohai people angrily, and then led the army to chase and kill again, this time he was determined to solve Xiao Yanshou, an old opponent.

Several times the strength of the other party, it was even rushed out of the encirclement by the Liao army, which made Gao Yongchang also feel very faceless, and immediately ordered his subordinates to pursue with the Jurchens, in addition to the army stationed in front. also has to participate in the interception, because Xiao Yanshou broke through the encirclement. But he fled to the east of Liaoyang Fucheng, where he was still firmly in his hands.

Xiao Yanshou fled all the way to the east, not only to find a way to get rid of the Jurchen pursuers in the rear, but also to prevent the front from being intercepted by the Bohai people, in fact, he also knew that it was not a good idea to flee to the east, and the best way was to flee to the southwest or west. It's a pity that Ah Guda in the rear is very shrewd and doesn't give him a chance to turn at all, so in desperation, he can't care about anything else, anyway, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the Jurchens.

However, just now, Xiao Yanshou's cavalry still encountered a pursuing Jurchen cavalry. Fortunately, the number of the other party was small, and they finally rushed out in desperation, but this did not make Xiao Yanshou feel relaxed, but his heart was even heavier, because with the first Jurchen cavalry that suddenly appeared in front of them, then there may be a second or even a third, and then there will be no more small Jurchen cavalry.

In the evening, Xiao Yanshou led his tired cavalry to a deserted town, because Gao Yongchang rebelled before, and continued to use troops against the towns around Liaoyang Mansion, so many towns were destroyed in the war, Xiao Yanshou The town in front of them should also be one of them, although most of the houses in the town have collapsed, but the traces are very new, and some bones can be seen in the town from time to time, but in a few months, these bones have also been gnawed by wild beasts, when the night fallsThe whole town looks rather eerie.

Originally, the ruins of a town like this were not suitable for the cavalry to rest, because there were too many debris on the ground, and most of the roads were blocked, which was not conducive to the transfer of the cavalry, but Xiao Yanshou and they fled for their lives after a day of wild running, at this time, even if they were people, they could still hold on, but the war horses that stepped down were really unable to hold on, and some horses had already fallen to the ground foaming at the mouth, and if they ran again, I am afraid that in the end all the war horses would be tired.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yanshou had to order to rest on the outskirts of the town, but Xiao Yanshou did not expect to encounter this situation before, according to his judgment, either they failed to escape and died on the spot, or they were able to fight their way out of the encirclement and join the army in front, and it was precisely because of this that he did not prepare dry food at all in advance, which also made them tired and hungry now, but they didn't have anything to eat, and in the end Xiao Yanshou had to kill a few wounded war horses as military food.

As night fell, the already exhausted Liao cavalry also slowly quieted down, Xiao Yanshou ate a few pieces of light and flavorful horse meat, and also felt sleepy and tired, after all, he was not young, don't look at his courage when he fought with the Jurchens during the day, but his physical fitness could not be compared with young people after all, so he also quickly slept with his clothes, and he still held his weapon when he slept, after all, the Jurchens could chase him at any time, and he had to be prepared.

"Enemy attack~" Just when Xiao Yanshou was sleeping, suddenly a terrible cry resounded through the camp, and then there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, which made Xiao Yanshou and the others jump up almost immediately, and ran to the side of the war horse next to them in three or two steps to saddle up the horse.

Xiao Yanshou and the others' reaction was not unpleasant, but this sneak attack of the Jurchen cavalry was faster, just when Xiao Yanshou and they had just mounted their horses and were about to gather to charge, they saw that there were already Jurchen cavalry in the northwest direction, and these cavalry under Xiao Yanshou who had not yet accelerated were not any threat to the Jurchens at all, and they were slaughtered countless by the Jurchens in the blink of an eye.

"Kill!" Seeing this unfavorable situation, Xiao Yanshou not only did not retreat, but roared and rushed forward, because he knew that if he turned around and fled now, he would only die faster, and it was better to fight to the death, in case they could kill this Jurchen cavalry, they still had a chance of life.

With Xiao Yanshou, the main general, those Liao cavalry who had been scared stupid by the Jurchens finally woke up, and some smart people also knew that they were not allowed to escape at this time, and they could only kill them in desperation, but more Liao cavalry were frightened by the fierce Jurchens, and even turned their horses' heads to hit the horses and ran, but they forgot that behind them were the ruins of the town, and many of the Liao army's war horses were injured by the ruins, and the people on the horses were also broken and bleeding, even if they did not fall to death, they were difficult to move for a while.

Xiao Yanshou rushed forward like a fierce tiger, and cut down three Jurchen cavalry in a row, but at this time, the Liao cavalry who stepped forward with him to kill the enemy was only a few hundred people, under the impact of thousands of Jurchen cavalry, it seemed that the strength of the people was weak, and people kept falling, and after a while, hundreds of people fell most of them, and finally only one hundred and ten people were left to guard Xiao Yanshou's side, and at this time Xiao Yanshou was no longer as brave as he was just now, after all, he was old and weak, and he couldn't rest well before, The rush just now had exhausted the physical strength that he had finally recovered, and he was powerless to fight again at this time.

"Kill~kill~kill......" Although Xiao Yanshou was no longer able to kill the enemy, especially when he was injured in the waist, he was still arrogant and shouted to kill the enemy, but unfortunately now they have been surrounded by the Jurchen cavalry, and the surrounding Liao cavalry fell layer by layer, and finally only he and a dozen cavalry around him were left.

However, just when Xiao Yanshou saw that he was about to die under the sword of the Jurchen cavalry, he suddenly saw that the Jurchen attack stopped, and then saw the Jurchen on the opposite side to divide to both sides, and a young Jurchen general rode out, looking at Xiao Yanshou who was covered in blood on the battlefield with calm eyes.

"Ah Guda, I didn't expect you to chase and kill me personally, but this reassures me, I guess the army that escaped is safe!" When Xiao Yanshou saw this Jurchen general who came out of the crowd, he suddenly laughed and said, he and Ah Guda had met on the battlefield more than once, so they naturally recognized each other at a glance at this time.

Ah Guda looked at the old opponent in front of him who had blocked him for several years, but his face showed a somewhat lonely expression, and after a while, he said slowly: "Xiao Yanshou, I respect you as a hero and a rare talent, the strength of the Liao State has been exhausted, as the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, now I will give you two choices, one is to die, the other is to surrender to me, which one do you choose?" ”

Hearing that Ah Gu Da actually wanted to surrender him, Xiao Yanshou couldn't help laughing, and then suddenly swung his knife and slashed at his horse's buttocks, but under the pain of the war horse, he actually rushed towards Ah Gu Da like a sharp arrow, it seemed that he wanted to kill the biggest enemy of Da Liao in this desperate situation.

It's a pity that Ah Guda also arranged a lot of guards around him, and before Xiao Yanshou rushed to him, more than a dozen horses had already rushed out on both sides, and then more than a dozen spears were stabbed out, and Xiao Yanshou was nailed to death on the war horse, but Xiao Yanshou still tried his last strength to throw out his war knife before he died, but unfortunately he couldn't fly to the ground in front of Ah Guda, making a crisp sound of "dangchang".
