Chapter 19 Breakout

Just when the Khitan army was about to complete the encirclement of Yang Yanping's troops, a troop appeared in the east of the battlefield. It turned out that Zhao Weiji finally arrived on the battlefield with his troops.

Since the appearance of Zhao Weiji's troops was unexpected by the Khitan army, it was obvious that the Khitan army was affected by Zhao Weiji's troops and the encirclement speed slowed down.

When Yang Yanping saw this situation, he naturally would not let it go and immediately attacked the weak point of the Khitan army. Just after arriving at the battlefield, Zhao Weiji was still thinking about how to attack the Khitan encirclement and rescue Yang Yanping and others when he saw Yang Yanping

He led his troops to attack the Khitan army. So Zhao Weiji did not dare to think too much and immediately asked the cavalry with repeating crossbows to shoot at the location of Yang Yanping's attack.

At this time, Yelumo, who was cleaning up the remnants of the Song army's infantry at the other end of the battlefield, also saw Zhao Weiji's rescue. Although he did not see who the leader of the reinforcements was, he could also determine from the Zhao character flag next to the reinforcements' Song-character banner.

It must be Zhao Weiji. He is the only general named Zhao who can lead troops in Yanmen Pass.

"It seems that the Anding County Duke was not slow in his response. He rushed over with his troops so quickly. But if he just wants to rescue Yang Yanping, he is looking down on our Liao cavalry. Erlangs, don't worry about these remnants of the infantry.

follow me."

After saying that, Yelu Mo led his troops to drive down the remnants of the Song army and rushed directly to Zhao Weiji's headquarters.

Zhao Weiji, who was cooperating with Yang Yanping to break out of the encirclement, obviously did not expect that a Liao army was coming from the flank. Soon the cavalry he led were entangled by Yelumo's troops.

As Zhao Weiji's troops were entangled by Yelumo, the Liao encirclement suddenly lost its peripheral pressure. Soon the weak points targeted by Yang Yanping were strengthened. The cavalry led by Yang Yanping fell into heavy encirclement again.

.

Zhao Weiji, who was entangled by Yelu Mo, had no time to take into account the situation on Yang Yanping's side because he was already directly confronting Yelu Mo.

"It's an honor to be able to directly confront Duke Anding. I have been fascinated by the Duke for a long time." What Yelumo said was indeed the truth. After analyzing Zhao Weiji's intelligence, he had a great impression of this person.

Interest. He once told Han Derang that the existence of Zhao Weiji would be the biggest variable between Song and Liao.

At this time, facing Zhao Weiji in a real sense for the first time, Yelumo felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

"Who are you?" Although Yelu Mo knew Zhao Weiji very well, Zhao Weiji did not recognize the person in front of him.

"I, Yelu Mo, am just an unknown general from the Liao Kingdom. Naturally, Prince Anding doesn't know me."

"Yelümo?" Zhao Weiji couldn't help but underestimate him when he heard this name. It was simple that he had never seen this person's name in history books. But at this time, he was not allowed to think about more things. Because Yelumo had already

The horse rushed towards him.

Yelu Mo came over with a spear in hand. He wanted to stab Zhao Weiji down with a spear, but he didn't notice Li Jiguang next to Zhao Weiji. Just when he was about to stab Zhao Weiji down, Li Jiguang came out and killed Yelu Mo.

Mo's attack was neutralized.

Then Yelu Mo, Li Jiguang, and Zhao Weiji fought together. Yelu Mo was worthy of being an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, and his martial arts skills were extremely amazing. He easily withstood the attacks of Zhao Weiji and Li Jiguang. Li Jiguang had only been practicing martial arts for a short time.

Zhao Weiji, on the other hand, was only half-hearted at fighting on horseback. It might have been better to fight on land, but the force on horseback was greatly reduced. The cooperation between the two did not put any pressure on Yelümo.

During the fight with Yelumo, Zhao Weiji seemed to see in a trance that the Khitan army's formation had a fatal flaw. So he immediately gave Li Jiguang a look, and Li Jiguang instantly understood what Zhao Weiji was thinking. The two of them used Yelumo's

The small mistake instantly widened the distance between the two sides, and then Zhao Weiji pointed toward Li Jiguang in the distance. Li Jiguang understood, and then called a team of people and rushed in the direction Zhao Weiji pointed.

"What's the matter, Duke? Send your bodyguard away, do you think you can still stop me?" Yelu Mo didn't care when he saw Li Jiguang leading his troops to rush in the other direction, because he only had eyes for now.

Zhao Weiji.

Zhao Weiji smiled coldly, then put one hand into a bag behind the horse.

Just now, Zhao Weiji saw in a daze that there seemed to be a flaw in the Khitan army's formation, so he decided to take a gamble. Because during this period of time, Zhao Weiji discovered that Li Jiguang had an extraordinary talent, which was his sensitivity to formations. He could

It is easy to find the flaws in any formation during the march.

At this time, the battle was already very tense. If no changes occurred, Yang Yanping would be surrounded and killed sooner or later. Zhao Weiji was betting that Li Jiguang could find the flaw and change the situation of the battle.

Seeing that Li Jiguang seemed to have found what he was looking for, Zhao Weiji took out a crossbow from the bag behind the horse. This was not a repeating crossbow, but a more powerful iron-arm crossbow. Although the iron-arm crossbow could not be chained

However, the firing speed and power of a single arrow are three times that of a repeating crossbow.

Zhao Weiji, who took out the iron-arm crossbow, raised his hand and shot an arrow at Yelu Mo. Yelu Mo became more vigilant when Zhao Weiji reached behind the horse. Then he saw Zhao Weiji take out a crossbow and then raised his hand to shoot.

He shot an arrow.

The speed of that arrow was something Yelu Mo had not expected. Although he had been alert before, he could only barely avoid the arrow. The arrow he avoided directly hit a Khitan cavalryman behind him.

He was shot directly to death, and his body was also shot about two feet off the horse. Seeing such a situation, Yelumo not only broke out in a cold sweat, it was the first time that he felt like death after experiencing many battles.

close.

But this didn't really scare him. He quickly regained his composure and said to Zhao Weiji: "The power of the crossbow of the Duke is really not small, but I'm afraid it can't shoot continuously."

Indeed, the crossbow arm of this kind of crossbow is very heavy, and it is difficult to string it every time. Basically, it means loading the arrow after stringing and shooting an arrow, and the combat effectiveness is temporarily lost.

But Zhao Weiji didn't care. Instead, he said to Yelumo: "My paper crossbow cannot be fired for the time being, but did I say that I only have one crossbow? Turn around and look at your general."

After hearing Zhao Weiji's words, Yelu Mo turned his head and looked towards where General Yelu Zonglin was. He soon discovered a flaw in the Khitan army. The flaw was that the Khitan army was divided into two parts, and one part was surrounding Yang Yanping's troops.

, and the other part is resisting Zhao Weiji's troops, but there is a disconnected zone between the two parts, and this disconnected zone happens to be facing the Khitan army's general Yelu Zonglin.

Zhao Weiji suspected that he had discovered this area just now, and then he decided to take a gamble and sent Li Jiguang directly there. Li Jiguang lived up to Zhao Weiji's expectations and quickly found this space with his own talent. So now the cavalry led by Li Jiguang

The team is already facing Yelu Zonglin.

Combining the phenomenon he saw with what Zhao Weiji said just now, Yelu Mo reacted immediately. Once Li Jiguang had such a divine crossbow in his hand, if he approached Yelu Zonglin and knocked him down with one arrow, everything would be over.

.

It was too late, but it was too late. Yelv Mo immediately made a decision to give up the entanglement with Zhao Weiji and return to the army to rescue Yelu Zonglin.

As soon as Yelu Mo withdrew, Zhao Weiji immediately sent his troops to attack the encirclement.

Over there, Li Jiguang was almost approaching Yelv Zonglin. Seeing that he was within shooting range, Li Jiguang immediately took out his iron-armed crossbow and aimed at Yelu Zonglin.

Since the production cost of the iron-arm crossbow was too high and the process was quite time-consuming, only two were completed in Daizhou after Zhao Weiji developed it. Zhao Weiji brought one with him on this expedition just in case, and he carried one himself.

, the other hand was given to Li Jiguang.

At this time, Li Jiguang had already aimed at Yelu Zonglin. Yelu Mo, who was coming from behind, saw that he could no longer stop him and could only shout at Yelu Zonglin. As soon as Yelu Zonglin finished speaking, Li Jiguang had already pulled the trigger, and the arrow surpassed

Flying towards Yelu Zonglin at an extraordinary speed.

At this time, although Yelu Zonglin heard Yelumo's cry, he could no longer make any evasive movements. However, at the critical moment, he moved his body. This movement of his body helped him avoid the vital point of the arrow.

It hit his left shoulder blade. Because the power of the arrow was too strong, it took him flying up and then fell behind the horse.

Seeing the Liao general falling from his horse, Li Jiguang didn't think much and immediately shouted that the Liao general should be shot, and the cavalry team behind him also started shouting together. Soon the words spread throughout the battlefield.

The Khitan soldiers immediately panicked when they heard this, while the Song soldiers' morale was greatly boosted after hearing this. Regardless of whether it was true or not, they immediately launched a more violent attack on the Khitan encirclement.

The team led by Li Jiguang also took this opportunity to quickly withdraw.

At the same time that Li Jiguang's team was withdrawing, under the combined attack from inside and outside, the Khitan army's encirclement was finally torn open. The three brothers of the Yang family, who had been trapped inside for a long time, also broke out, but there were only a few cavalry left with them.

Two thousand people.

After the large forces of the Song Army gathered together, they immediately prepared to retreat. But just as they were about to retreat, Yelu Mo, who confirmed that the life of the general Yelu Zonglin was not in danger, quickly calmed the chaotic troops and then integrated the troops to move towards the country.

The Song army pursued them.

Due to the fast Khitan horses, it was difficult for the Song army to distance themselves in this situation. At this moment, the remaining infantry and crossbowmen of the Song army actually gathered together, and then temporarily formed a weak defense line to block it.

Khitan cavalry.

Seeing this situation, the generals of the Song Army had tears in their eyes, but they had no choice but to direct the army to evacuate quickly.

The weak defense line formed by the Song army's infantry could not withstand the pursuit of the Khitan cavalry. Just when the Song army was about to return to Yanmen Pass, the Khitan pursuers also caught up. Seeing that the Song army was about to be chased by the Khitan,

At that time, an object on the tower of Yanmen Pass quickly flew towards the Khitan army, and then they saw a general who was charging forward being shot directly off his horse.

The Khitan cavalry behind them immediately stopped in shock. It turned out that the general was directly nailed to the ground with something similar to a spear.

Taking advantage of this gap, the remnants of the Song Army immediately pushed into Yanmen Pass and then closed the city gate tightly.
