Chapter 192

As the smoke rose, the Song army's artillery shells fell into the Khitan army. While the Khitans were adjusting their formation, the artillery shells exploded. For a moment, people were neighing on their horses and cried endlessly.

Yelu Fonu slapped his head: "Damn it! Why did you forget the Song army's cannon? Isn't it just a target to get together like this?"

After saying that, he looked north. He saw about two or three thousand cavalrymen loosely surrounding the north, just blocking the way.

Closed his eyes and thought for a while, Yelu Fonu said to Wei Cai beside him: "For the sake of the present, there is only one way to live in the north. Now that we are surrounded by the Song army, if we stay here, we will be bombarded by the Song army's artillery in a short time. It is better to set aside and fight for a way to live in the north. I control the army here so that I will not be scattered by the Song army. You can lead two thousand cavalry and go north to see if you can fight a way to live."

Wei Cai said: "There are also large Song army in the north, not only those two or three thousand people. I think if there are two or three thousand people, I am afraid I won't be able to rush out."

Yelu Fonu smiled bitterly: "After several battles, we can only send so many people. Now, looking at the Song army in the east and south, each unit must have more than 10,000 people. If we don't find a way, we may not be able to survive tonight."

After hearing this, Wei Cai had to say, "Since the general gave such an order, the last general had to obey the order!"

At this time, the situation was clear. The Khitans must have leaked the news early. Near the station was an ambush circle set up by the Song army. Poor Khitans knew nothing and came in foolishly. In fact, the Khitans had confirmed the attack route of the Khitans. The Song army did not have to be so complicated. As long as they set up ambush near the station, they would be foolproof. Such a large encirclement actually greatly overestimated the ability of the Khitans.

As the Song army continued to fire artillery, the Khitan formation was already scattered. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Ji ordered the infantry to slowly move forward in dense formations. Together with Chen Rui in the south, he completely eliminated the Khitans here.

At this moment, a team of two or three thousand people in the Khitan army suddenly rushed straight north.

Zhang Ku saw it from afar and said to his personal soldiers: "Order two thousand cavalry to follow the Khitans who were heading north. Together with Guo Kui's troops, they will be wiped out! Most of Guo Kui's troops will still guard the Juma River, and the two or three thousand people over there are enough."

The personal soldiers agreed and drove their horses to pass the order.

As the sky gradually darkened, the encirclement of the Song army was already very small. The artillery firepower was relatively concentrated. When it hit the center of the Khitan army formation, the formation gradually began to chaotic. Yelu Fonu looked around in a mess and felt anxious. Looking north, he saw that Wei Cai had been blocked by the cavalry sent by Zhang Ji and surrounded him about a mile away from him.

At this moment, a horn came from the Song army formation. The sound was desolate and shocking. With this horn, the drums in the Song army formation sounded. With the sound of drums, the infantry like tides rushed up step by step.

The Khitan soldiers in the east collapsed first, some surrendered to the Song army, while others ran around like headless flies.

Yelu Fonu sighed and said to his personal soldiers around him: "We have been defeated today and we have no way to live. At this time, the army no longer cares about it. You can escape from your own lives."

A personal soldier said, "General, it will be dark, why be discouraged? Wait for a while, we protect the general and head north in the darkness of the night. We don't believe that the Song army can guard the Juma River without any gaps, so we protect the general and return to Zhuozhou."

Yelu Fonu remained silent. He was exactly what he meant, but it was hard to say it. Now that the situation was over, the Song army was surrounded, and this army had no way to live. The army was gone, so he didn't want to be buried with him. As for what would happen after returning to Zhuozhou, let's go back first.

Guo Kui rode on the horse, looking at the firelight coming from time to time in the south, and was silent. His mission this time was to block the Khitan army and he did not need to participate in the battle. He sent thousands of cavalry just to prevent the Khitan army from rushing to the river in an organized manner.

As the sky gradually darkened, the sound of cannons in the south began to sparse, and the fire became much less. Jia Kui said: "It seems that the Khitan army is no longer in a state of chaos. I ordered the army to guard the defense line strictly! If any Khitan people run across the north bank, they will be punished more seriously!"

The personal soldiers around him agreed and rode their horses quickly across the defense line, ordering all the troops to defend closely.

The sun's dizziness finally faded away, and the stars in the sky were revealed, covering the vast night sky. Before the moon rose, I couldn't see clearly under the starlight, and everything seemed blurry.

At this moment, a fast horse came over and crossed his hands at Guo Kui: "Taiwei, there are dozens of cavalry in front of him. He rushes around the army about five or six miles away to the west. Looking at their appearance, it seems that they are going to cross the river in the night!"

Guo Kui said in a deep voice: "Send two hundred cavalry to block them! Remember, don't let any of them go!"

The night ahead of Yelu Fonu was dark and he let out a sigh: "It's great, I finally bypassed the Song army's battle formation. You run faster and cross the Juma River as soon as possible to be safe. The Song army tried so hard that it seems that they don't want to cross the river!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar. In a panic, he saw one or two hundred cavalry flashing out of the night.

The personal soldiers said: "No, it's the Song army's cavalry that is chasing us! General quickly cross the river, let's block them!"

Yelu Fonu didn't care about being polite anymore. He lifted the reins of the horse and rushed forward. While the charge was happening, he heard gunshots coming from behind. It was obvious that the Song cavalry was carrying muskets, and he didn't know what the person behind was doing.

After running for about a mile, he saw the torches in front of him lit up in a line. In the light and shadow, the Song army held up the musket and aimed at him.

Yelu Fonu felt a mouthful of blood surge and cursed: "What's going on? This place has been completely guarded. Wouldn't it be a waste of my life?"

While he was talking, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw that the Song cavalry was chasing him.

Looking at the cavalry beside him, Yelu Fonu sighed: "There is no way out. You have followed me for many years, and there is no need to leave your life here. With me here, the people of Song will not kill them all."

After saying that, he took off his helmet and said to the Song cavalry who was rushing to the arrival of the Northern Dynasties: "Yelu Fonu, the general of the Northern Dynasties, is willing to surrender!"

Zhang Ke and Chen Rui, who came to meet, walked through the battlefield of corpses and asked from time to time whether the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield had found the Khitan chief general. The army of ten thousand people, the Khitan chief general was not an ordinary person, and even the corpses could be seen. In this battle, more than 4,000 people died in the Khitan battle, and thousands of prisoners were still there. The prisoners had already asked, but there was no figure of the chief general.

At this moment, more than a hundred cavalry rushed over and got to Zhang Ji and rolled over and dismounted. The general stepped forward and crossed his hands and said, "The last general is Deputy Commander Guo, Zhou Bao, next to him, and intercepted the Khitan chief general Yelu Fonu in front of him! Guo Taiwei has an order, and he escorted him to see the Taiwei!"

Zhang Ji was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, if you catch this Khitan general, you will be considered a complete victory in this battle! Order each army to search carefully and not let a Khitan person go! Also, Grand Marshal Guo worked harder and let him keep guarding the Juma River before the entire army retreated!"

Zhou Bao received the order and ordered people to send Yelu Fonu and others, and took the people around and left.
