It was another evening, and the sunset seemed to be covered in blood in the sky.

After more than two days of hard fighting, more than 2,000 Song soldiers fell down again, and nearly 1,000 Song soldiers were seriously injured.

However, this is not the most terrible news. I have seen too many deaths these days.

The most terrifying news was brought back by the scout.

Song Jiu was halfway through the guess. Seeing Yang Ye in Jintai Village, the Liao army was a little anxious and called out many troops from the side to attack Yang Ye. However, at this time, Yang Ye was probably cavalry, and they were all sad soldiers. In addition, Yang Ye was very strong. Although he was shot two arrows, he still led the way. Under Yang Ye's leadership, the Liao army was killed and retreated. If the Song army had not been trapped, he might have achieved a brilliant victory in this battle.

These two battles further confirmed Yang Wudi's reputation.

Faced with this god of killing, the Liao army was cowardly. If you can't afford to offend, don't provoke it. The army slowly rushed to the northeast, and reinforcements arrived along the way.

The purpose is very simple. If you force yourself to Henan and occupy Henan, the Song army will have no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

However, the Liao army made a strange move. It was not far from Jintaitun to Qigou Pass, but their speed was very slow. In the evening, there were still more than 20 miles away from the Juma River, and it seemed that it was intentional to let the Song army go.

There is a road to the east, Baigou is the road, and it is the closest road, so escape.

Will Xiao Yanyan and Yelu Xiu Ge have such kindness?

Guo Shouwen, Fan Yanzhao, Shi Gui, Yang Yanzhao, Tian Shaobin, Liu Zhixin, Li Jixuan, and Hu Yanzan's eight generals are all good at fighting. Even the "villain" Shi Gui is a long-standing veteran.

But no one made a sound at this time.

Of course, Yelu Xiuge would not be so kind. This is Yelu Xiuge cutting off Jintaitun and forcing the Song army to walk through the Baigou to prevent the siege from being too urgent. The Song army was anxious to jump over the wall, causing heavy casualties in the Liao army. Even in the past few days, it seems that they have not seen the floating bridge on the Juma River...

This is an open conspiracy, and you will retreat immediately. It can be imagined that Yelu Xiuge must have set up a large pocket on the Baigou Road and prepared to put Song Jun in.

If he still does not retreat, then tomorrow, more troops can be drawn to Henan and surrounded the Song army. Of course, Song Jiu cannot sit here and wait for death, so there is only one result, asking for help. Yelu Xiu Ge can calmly surround the points and attack the help and expand the fruits of victory. Once surrounded, these tens of thousands of soldiers will collapse sooner or later, or even collapse automatically.

"Yelu Xiu Ge..." Guo Shouwen smiled bitterly.

Song Jiu said it many times, so he should not underestimate this person. However, there are many Song generals who are complacent again after winning one after another on the border.

But now.

Hu Yan praised: "Don't worry about them, retreat, isn't it just a hundred miles away? Kill."

"Then let's retreat." Song Jiu smiled bitterly. His original plan was still Baigou, but now he went to Baigou, which was a different result.

He also said to Guo Shouwen: "General Guo. Select a few warriors and go to Xiongzhou to get some troops as much as possible. Arrive at Baigou Tun to support him."

"good."

In fact, if you move forward with light equipment, you may be faster and you can reach Baigoutun in one day.

But it is impossible.

It may even be that reinforcements have arrived, just to send Yelu Xiuge's appetizer.

But it is not easy to say. It is also possible that the letter will be sent to Xiongzhou and the reinforcements will be dispatched for another two or three days, and Yelu Xiu Ge will not care.

There is more possibility that Xiongzhou's troops are empty, and even if some deserters flee to the rear and gather together, they cannot gather. In addition, the forts and forts are prepared to prevent the Liao army from going south, and the front line cannot withdraw troops to rescue. This possibility is the greatest.

Only God knows what is in the end.

Then prepare to retreat.

However, a new problem is coming. No matter what kind of pocket Yelu Xiuge set up on the Baigou Road, there are countless Liao troops in front of him, who can make the number of troops more?

Even if you want to retreat to the other side of the river, you must leave a soldier to block the attack of the Liao army. This is truly dead. As long as whoever stays, there is only one way, then it is death!

That one stays.

Shi Gui attached himself to Song Jiu's ear and said a few words.

"How can this be done?"

"Duke Song, Ci doesn't control the troops, so he must make choices."

...

"I just want to save me, who will I send?" Zhao Kuangyi said with a wry smile.

All those who can fight are sent to the front line, either stationed in the northwest or other important places. There are also some people who can fight in the capital, all of which are old guys.

But now it’s time to get fast. Can these old guys ride horses? Maybe they can withstand a long journey of more than a thousand miles?

Wang Ji'en said: "Your Majesty, I think of one person."

"who?"

"When I went to Lingnan, I saw a young general. Song Xianggong and General Pan praised him and were in the capital at this time."

"Who?" Zhao Kuangyi said in confusion.

In the battle of Nanhan, Pan Mei was mainly due to the contributions of Pan Mei, not many troops, nor many generals, but some generals performed well, and over the past ten years, they have grown one after another.

"It is Yin Jilun, the son of Yin Xun, the defense envoy of Yingzhou."

"I understand."

Zhao Kuangyi's first wife was Yin Chongke's sister. In fact, Yin Chongke's sister was also the cousin of Pan Mei's wife Tian. No matter what, the powerful and powerful Song Dynasty liked to marry each other, and they could get into the horizon. Yin Chongke's father was Yin Xian, and Yin Xian was the eldest in the family. He also had a third brother. The difference between the two was a bit big, named Yin Xun. However, compared with his eldest nephew Yin Chongke, the difference between the two was also very far. Yin Xun was arbitrarily killed his subordinates when he was in office, and there was a lot of illegality. However, considering that he was a relative of his second brother, Zhao Kuangyin took the attitude of turning a blind eye.

Yin Jilun is the third child of the Yin family. He seems to be in his thirties. When he was in the Han Dynasty in the South, Wang Jien said that he was a young general.

Although he was a relative, Zhao Kuangyi was not very familiar with Yin Jilun and asked, "Can he do it?"

"Your Majesty, you will be stronger at least in the year."

Enough.

Zhao Kuangyi summoned Yin Jilun into the palace, told the situation again, and thought for a while and said, "I will give you another decree. From Zhenzhou to Dingzhou, all the soldiers of Xiongmo Sanguan will be fully commanded by you. Be sure to rescue Song Qing and rescue the three armies. Especially Song Qing... I feel ashamed."

Yin Jilun didn't know what Zhao Kuangyi meant to be ashamed, but he knew the seriousness of the situation. So he said: "Where is that Liu Quangui?"

"I let him rest in the back of the palace."

He ran from Qiguangou to Xiongzhou, and from Xiongzhou to Beijing. He had almost no eyes closed these days and nights. Although he was a little bitch, Zhao Kuangyi felt sorry for him and asked him to rest on the couch behind the palace. In fact, this was Zhao Kuangyi's couch, but Liu Quangui didn't know where he fell asleep.

Yin Jilun came to the back, woke Liu Quangui up, and asked, "Shi Liu, can you still run away?"

“Where?”

"Go to Qigou Pass."

"Can run." Liu Quangui immediately stepped into his chest and said loudly.

Yin Jilun gathered two thousand light cavalry and set off quickly.

Run!

In order to make them run faster, Zhao Kuangyi deliberately added a thousand war horses to them so that they could take turns to ride.

Run.

I ran across the fields of Huazhou, across the Yellow River, and across thousands of mountains and rivers.

Zhao Kuangyi stood in Taimiao, but looked northeast, murmured and prayed: "Song Jiu, you silly boy, you must be safe. I haven't really let you be the prime minister yet."

...

"Everyone, please make any requests one by one." Song Jiu's eyes were filled with tears.

People who could read from the army asked to record the names and hometowns of these seriously injured soldiers one by one.

Hu Anguo said: "Mr. Song, my little family is poor. Before leaving, the little lady of the Zhu family came to my house to see her off. I once said that I will make a good contribution and be a high-ranking official. In the future, I will take her and her brothers and sisters at Shundian for a big meal."

"Don't worry, when I go back, I will take them to Shundian, and find a job for them and buy the best house for them..." Song Jiu was in a state of great excitement when he said this, and a mouthful of blood splashed out of his mouth.

"Duke Song," Li Jixuan helped him.

Song Jiu wiped the corner of his mouth with his robe sleeve and said, "It's okay, continue to record."

The Song army began to evacuate slowly in front.

Even though it was night and there was a lot of noise, the Liao army had already alarmed and they were ready to form a formation. However, they did not launch a charge. At this time, the charge was definitely not the best time, and it would force the Song army to fight desperately.

If you want to charge, it means that when most of the generals of the Song army crossed the Juma River, if the timing is well grasped, they will not even need any pockets, and they will be able to annihilate the Song army in one fell swoop.

Liu Zhixin, Li Jixuan and Hu Yanzan took them forward.

Guo Shouwen and Shi Gui took the left army down.

Fan Yanzhao and Tian Shaobin took the right army down.

There is also the middle road between Song Jiu and Yang Yanzhao.

Song Jiu suddenly said, "Take white cloth and sacrifice filial piety clothes."

The three armies took out the white cloth, tied it to their heads, and tied it to their arms.

"Blow the trumpet and urge the war drum."

The war drums rumbled, and the horns whimpered.

"Everyone, please kneel down by Song." Song Jiu looked at nearly a thousand seriously injured people, urging Jinshan and Yuzhu to kneel down, and then leaned on the ground and cried loudly.

Yang Yanzhao pulled him up and said, "Duke Song, please avenge them tomorrow."

Song Jiu got on the war horse.

But he had not left, and rode on the horse and watched teams of soldiers climbing onto the floating bridge and moving towards Henan.
