    Chapter 142 Return to Heaven (2) "Captain, Commander! Xiao Qian is nothing more than that. In a few days, he won't even think about troubling our camp! But if there is no way out, the morale of the soldiers in the camp will plummet.  , When the time comes, I can't fight anymore, Taiwei, I will obey the Taiwei's previous order and lead the troops to rescue the retreat!" Han Zun glanced at the Liao army formation opposite and expressed his judgment,  He bowed deeply to Liu Yanqing, pressed his sword and stood up to order the sergeant on the watchtower to raise the flag.  Liu Yanqing grabbed Han Zun's hand fiercely. Over the years, Liu Yanqing has been learning the so-called magnanimity.  His demeanor was calm and dignified, but at this moment, his movements were extremely agile, as if he was still the fierce general of the Western Army who was riding a horse and crossing his sword!  But the words that came out of his mouth caused the momentum to drop by more than half: "You have mobilized more than 10,000 sharp soldiers out of the camp, and the remaining soldiers and horses are less than 30,000. Can you withstand the Liao people's attack on the camp?" Han Zun's expression  I was eager, but I had to hold back my temper and explain.  He kept getting angry in his heart: "You, Lieutenant Liu, are not ignorant of soldiers. You can see the situation on the battlefield at a glance. Why do you ask me instead?" But looking at Liu Yanqing's green and white face, the corners of his mouth could not help but tremble.  .  At this moment, Han Zun suddenly realized.  Lieutenant Liu is no longer the former commander-in-chief of the Western Army's Huanqing Army!  The days of peace and honor have passed for too long, and he has long lost the ability to make decisive decisions when facing enemies.  Although he was in the rear camp far away from the front line, he could still accurately judge the opponent's military situation, and his deployment was also sound.  Although he is somewhat selfish, he is still law-abiding and retains his true qualities as a veteran.  But when you come to this frontline camp, you are so close that you can distinguish the enemy's face, and where the arrows from sharp bows and arrows will even fall into the camp.  He no longer has the courage to persist here!  At this moment, the emotion that emerged in Han Zun's heart was unknown, whether it was anger, pity, or both.  He slowly broke away from Liu Yanqing's tight grip on his hand, and bowed respectfully: "Lieutenant, after all, we are members of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. Thirty thousand soldiers surrounding the Qing Dynasty are enough to hold the camp for several days without losing anything.  I dare to risk my life! But if there is no support from the rear, it will be too late! General Cao Zheng is struggling there, hoping that the Taiwei reinforcements will arrive! If the rear crossing is lost, the morale of the army will be greatly reduced.  , even this camp can't be saved!" Hearing Han Zun's cry of tears, Liu Yanqing's face still didn't calm down, but he suddenly became angry: "You guarantee it with your life!  , A good general in the Huanqing Army. The Great Song Dynasty is planning to revive the Yan Dynasty for a hundred years. It is a great cause that the officials have in mind. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the Huanqing Army are alive. Can you save your life? "  Han Zun was also extremely angry. There were so many scary names in Liu Yanqing's mouth. In fact, it boiled down to the end. But one sentence can explain that Liu Taiwei is in the army. If you pledge your life, you can guarantee that Liu Yanqing is fine.  .  Is your Han Zun's life as valuable as Liu Yanqing's?  At this moment, Han Zun could no longer hold back and shouted: "We must save those who are behind! More than 10,000 descendants of the Qing army and tens of thousands of civilians in Hebei Province of the Song Dynasty are eagerly looking at our army. Tai  If the commander feels that the army is empty after I leave, the three armies of Jingyuan, Qin, Feng and Xihe are not far to the east. Is there any reason for the commander not to come? They can protect the commander's safety! " Han Zun said something else!  Yes, slowly begged Liu Yanqing.  Liu Yanqing recovered from the initial shock and panic, and he was still able to make a correct judgment.  But Han Zun mentioned the Jingyuan, Qin, Feng, and Xihe armies, which immediately hit Liu Yanqing's sore spot!  He was the main force in the attack, but in the end he needed Lao Zhongxiaozong and the others to come to his rescue. All the hard work ahead would be in vain.  Moreover, the first prize was given to Laozhong Xiaozhong and the others, but Laozhong Xiaozhong climbed on top of him!  He, Liu Yanqing, has lost face with the Western Army, and there is no room for politeness between the two sides. If he, Liu Yanqing, succumbs to others, he will not be able to live as a wealthy and idle man in Bianliang!  To win, it is the unique achievement of the Huanqing Army.  To be defeated, the Huanqing Army faced Yanjing, and the Huanqing Army was defeated and retreated.  The three armies of Jingyuan, Qin, Feng, Xihe, etc. are far away from Yanjing's flank, and their flank is completely exposed. Xiao Qian can attack their long exposed flank at any time, and their three armies cannot stand!  The Huanqing Army is already in disgrace, and you three armies should not be left behind!  If you're going to be unlucky, let's all be unlucky together!  In Liu Yanqing¡¯s mind, this thought was passing through fiercely at this moment.  Once this idea came up, it completely occupied his body and mind, and he could no longer think about anything else.  He stood up straight and shouted to Han Zun with a straight face: "Cao Lei leads more than ten thousand elite troops, and he has the responsibility to protect his retreat. I don't want you to share this responsibility with him! The Liao people attacked the camp with great force, Huan Qing  The entire army must gather together to defend! If someone is not in the army, you are deployed in front of the army, so you can naturally do whatever you want. Now that someone is in the army, the only one who gives the order is General Han, and Xiao Qian's army is in front.  You must guard the camp and prevent Xiao Qian fromMake an inch of progress!  Xiao Qian's troops were already in danger and made the final blow. After a long attack without success, they naturally retreated. At that time, they would no longer be able to resist the Song Dynasty's heavenly troops. The city of Yanjing was in the Song Dynasty's pocket. Go down!  " Han Zun was almost dumbfounded. He knelt down suddenly, took a few steps on his knees, and grabbed Liu Yanqing's shirt: "Captain, Commander!  There are tens of thousands of us Huanqingjun brothers at the ferry!  "Liu Yanqing's face was as sinking as water. He looked in the direction of the ferry and said slowly: "Is it still too late?  If you mobilize troops and horses to help and march in formation, there will definitely be harassment from the Liao people in the distance. It may take half a day to arrive. Look at the fireworks rising in the direction of the ferry!  Cao Lei was defeated by someone, and he could no longer let the tens of thousands of Huanqing troops here be wiped out in one fell swoop!  " What Liu Yanqing said makes some sense. Xiao Qian's previous actions really paralyzed the entire Song army. Not to mention Liu Yanqing's Huanqing Army, even Laozhong Xiaozhong and other tribes looked down on Xiao Qian.  Except for Yaoshi Guo, who knew Xiao Qian deeply, no one expected that Xiao Qian had been showing weakness for so long, and then suddenly struck with a thunderous strike!  Taking advantage of the unexpected, now that the reinforcements are setting off, it may be too late to rescue Cao Lei's troops at the back of the ferry! Instead of doing this, it is better to keep the generals and horses by their side to protect themselves, Xiao Qian may be unable to follow up in the storm.  , maybe there is still a chance to save it If it can't be saved, everyone will collapse together! Liu Yanqing has made up his mind, and there is no way to save it. But in Han Zun's opinion, whether Daying can be saved or not is the same thing.  The military equipment, food and fodder are enough to support the defense for several days, but if the retreat is cut off and no support is provided, the soldiers of Huanqing will be disengaged! At that time, the defeat will not be terrible, the Song Dynasty is not afraid!  The strength is several times greater than that of the remnants of the Liao army. Han Zun is confident of holding on to this place, but once he loses his military morale, the outcome will be unpredictable! Han Zun understands this, and all the soldiers under his command understand why Liu Tai.  Lieutenant doesn't understand this? He pulled on Liu Yanqing's cloak and kept begging, but Liu Yanqing didn't say a word. The guards rushed up behind Liu Yanqing and tried their best to fight off Han Zun: "The captain has made a decision, Han Zheng will return it.  Say more and urge the soldiers to guard the camp!  The wind in the watchtower is strong and the Taiwei cannot bear it. A war is imminent and the Taiwei falls ill. Can you, General Han Zheng, bear the consequences?  " Han Zun was pushed away by Liu Yanqing's personal guards. He saw Liu Taiwei with a livid face and was about to go down to the watchtower. Han Zun roared fiercely, but the roar was similar to a cry. He rushed to take charge of the flag.  Next to the sergeant, Liu Yanqing shouted angrily, and the guards rushed up around him, holding Han Zun tightly. Liu Yanqing's face turned completely black.  He waved his hands fiercely: "Watch Han Zun!  Send an order to the entire army to guard the camp.  Don't retreat, stay in the camp like Xiao Qian!  Anyone who leaves the camp without authorization will be killed by the entire team!  " In the Huanqing Army, countless soldiers in each camp were eagerly looking at the military camp. The leading generals raised their swords and looked eagerly, and everyone's red cloaks were blown high by the morning breeze. "  The rest of the army has gathered and lined up in their respective camps. The soldiers are all lightly armed and only carry weapons and arrows. Although the Huanqing army is much more scattered and demoralized than before, after all, it has defended the Western Frontier of the Song Dynasty.  An important part of the field group! Once the war started, they were naturally touched. No matter how many complaints and resentments they had before, they were all waiting for the order to go south immediately to meet General Cao who was staying there.  They are not strangers there, they are brothers from the Huanqing Army! They are fellow villagers who live together among the hundreds of forts on Huanqing Road. They are the people who have been inseparable from Huanqing through various means for more than a hundred years!  The road was transferred out, to the south of the Yangtze River, and then to the north. They supported each other. They had been away from home for two years and suffered many casualties. Although everyone was not very interested in fighting, when their own troops were in danger, these soldiers were still willing to go at all costs.  Rescue them! Everyone was waiting for the order from the Chinese Army, and then roared out, regardless of all obstacles, and rushed to the back ferry as quickly as possible! After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the flag of the Chinese Army Commander finally came.  Come. Everyone was trying to figure out the meaning of the flag, and suddenly one by one the generals lowered their heads, and then yelled: "Zhi Niang, Taiwei doesn't want us, the children of the Huanqing Army, what kind of military order is this!"  "The soldiers reacted a little slower than the generals who led the army, but they caused a bigger commotion. In the ranks, the voices of shouting and cursing rose up: "Zhi Niang thief, wants to conquer Yanjing, wants to be crowned king, wants to be in Bian  Liang Xiangfu, don¡¯t want us Huanqing¡¯s children!  You, Lieutenant, were not the result of our hard work!  If you don¡¯t save him, even if we are here, we will not fight!  ¡±  The shouts resounded through the sky, and the camps had become one.  In the slowly approaching Liao army array, Xiao Qian's tall and thin figure was surrounded by the noble clan members of the Liao people. Today, he was wearing silver armor and a black cloak. The cloak was extremely long.  , fluttering in the wind, like a huge flag.  Although the shouts that suddenly broke out in the Song camp were not clearly audible, Xiao Qian could also understand that they were not roars in the face of a powerful enemy, but a sign of injustice, wavering and resentment!  Xiao Qian laughed and looked back at the guards around him: "Liu Yanqing is like this, he must defeat the enemy!" Near the Qingjun ferry on the Gaoliang River, there was already a mess, filled with fireworks, and a sea of ??corpses and blood.  Although the Song army was protected by more than 10,000 troops, there was something wrong with the defense itself.  After being responsible for guarding the ferry and protecting the back roads, Cao Lei, a veteran general of the Cao Lei family, had already established a defense system with flat fences and trenches along both sides of the road.  It was precisely because Cao Lei was a cautious man that Liu Yanqing gave him the task of preparing for the retreat.  But as a large number of baggage, carriages and horses became more and more concentrated on the north bank of the Gaoliang River, the area occupied by these baggage and equipment became wider and wider, until they were beyond the original defense system.  The Song army responsible for guarding them had to move to both sides. Before the new defense system could be built, the Liao army suddenly launched an attack with a large group of cavalry.  The Song Army had to rely on the terrain to fight, and the stability of its defense was greatly compromised.  And the remaining troops of the Song Army could only divide their forces equally on both sides of the road.  This is also the right thing to do. There is a lack of cavalry sentries. If the Liao people attack, no one knows which direction they may come from, so they have to go half way.  But the Liao people's attack must have some focus, but by that time, the middle was blocked by all kinds of baggage, carriages and horses, and tens of thousands of civilians. Even if the Song army wanted to dispatch reinforcements, it would be extremely difficult.  !  These reasons are still minor.  What surprised Cao Lei the most was the attack launched by the Liao army that day. In the Liao army, he actually felt a fighting spirit that he had never seen before.  The Liao cavalry brigade, one after another, no longer care about casualties, no matter the formation, no matter what the cost, they will rush into the Song army's back road, burn the heavy equipment, destroy the pontoon bridge, and cut off the Qing army's back road!  This is the last battle of the Liao Empire. Xiao Yan has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his meager savings are only enough for him to fight one more battle.  If this battle cannot be won, Daliao, which has been a country for 215 years, will only perish!  Such a crazy impact caused the Song Army¡¯s originally stable rifle array to be destroyed!  In Cao Lei¡¯s eyes, everything seemed to have turned into a doomsday scene.  Where it turned out that the Song army still had an array and was desperately firing arrows and crossbows to block the attack, the corpses of Liao people and horses were piled up as high as a man at the highest place. The blood of the dead people and horses dyed the beating red, and the blood even touched the ground.  It couldn't be absorbed and turned into bright red streams that merged into the Gaoliang River. The color of the water on the bank turned into a light pink.  Based on the experience of Cao Lei, a veteran on the battlefield, at a glance, we can know that the Liao cavalrymen who copied the rear route exceeded ten thousand, but under the interception and fire of the Song army, more than three or four thousand were lost in the attack!  In the past, no matter how strong the cavalry force was in battle formations, out of ten thousand cavalry, they would suffer a loss of seven to eight hundred, and then they would fall apart and retreat.  No more casualties can be sustained.  So when the Song army formed an array and raised their crossbows, no matter it was the Liao army or the iron kites of Xixia, or even the chaotic light cavalry of the Tubo, Qing and Tang Qiang, they would not rush into the formation easily.  "But today's Liao people endure It should be said that they ignore such huge casualties!"  The corpses of countless Liao knights and horses paved a road leading to the Song army's array.  The Liao knights who followed continued to pour in, breaking through the Song army's array and rushing into the group of terrified civilians. They threw flammable objects everywhere and hacked and killed everywhere.  The civilians were uneasy and reluctantly stayed behind the protection of the Song Army array.  When the Liao army's cavalry broke in, the men and horses were all dressed in blood and rushed in, rushing left and right wildly.  Tens of thousands of civilians suddenly collapsed and ran aimlessly on the battlefield, shouting.  The transport Sima who led them on the Song Dynasty and Hebei roads were not much better than them. These little civil servants wearing long gowns behaved even more rudely than these common men!  With tens of thousands of people collapsing at the same time, the situation can no longer be dealt with.  The running civilians disturbed the Song army array that was still holding on.  These Song troops were also moved to the point where they dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.  Even the archers holding the divine arm bow had no time to destroy the divine arm bow at this time. Everyone turned around and ran away. Many people had the same goal, which was the pontoon bridges on the Gaoliang River!  Teams of people rushed to the pontoon, and it was packed to the rafters.  I don¡¯t know how many people have just stepped onto the bridge.??The people behind were crowded like water.  Under the pontoon, there were densely packed human heads.  In winter, the water is cold and people wear too many clothes, so they can¡¯t struggle.  The bridge pillars were full of lucky people clinging to them. These lucky people couldn't help kicking the drowning people who wanted to pull them down, clinging to their life-saving position.  ¡°More people were swept up by the water of the Sorghum River and drifted downstream.  More and more fires were rising, and the smoke was everywhere, blocking people's sight. Only the wild shouts of the Liao Qingqi who kept rushing in could be heard.  All this increased the anxiety of the collapsed crowd.  In the next moment, the grease cans among the Liao riders were thrown towards the pontoon, followed by torches.  There were so many people on the bridge, and even if ten times as many oil cans and torches were thrown at them, they would not be able to burn the bridge in one time. However, the screams and howls of the people were louder, and more people fell into the water.  More and more people were like ants pulling on the supports on both sides of the pontoon bridge. One of the pontoon bridges could no longer hold up, and suddenly fell from the middle with the dense crowd on the bridge, which triggered a burst of inhuman shouts!  Cao Lei stood at his command position and was still doing his best to deploy all the troops and horses he could control to put out the fire, block the gaps broken by the Liao army, and frighten the civilians running around.  The few soldiers and horses he had in hand were sent out in groups, and in the blink of an eye they were drowned in the chaotic flow of people.  It doesn't have the slightest effect.  Under the impact of the chaotic civilian auxiliary troops, the Song army's array had completely collapsed, and the remaining thousands of mounted Liao troops had all rushed into this crazy torrent.  Working hard to create even greater chaos.  The location of the Qingjun Ferry on the Gaoliang River has become a Shura field. At every moment, no one knows how many people died here!  The military resources of the Song Dynasty prepared for the Huanqing Army to conquer Yanjing, worth hundreds of millions, were transferred by hundreds of thousands of civilians, and were burned here.  But I don¡¯t know what kind of expression the Dukes Yan and Yan of the Song Dynasty who were sitting in the rear would have when they saw this scene caused by their overt and covert fighting!  In the thick smoke, Cao Lei stood on a high place and tried his best to look north.  The Liao soldiers and horses were galloping not far away from me. These Liao soldiers and horses also seemed crazy. They only wanted to create greater chaos and burn more military supplies, but no one cared to kill this one.  The leading generals of the Song army were surrounded by a few personal guards and wore distinctive armor and banners.  These Liao Qingqi were also risking their lives in the attack and had no intention of surviving.  Such a frenzied crowd rushed in all directions, and the Liao cavalry was mixed in. The same danger, the chaotic crowd, could overturn them, including people and horses, at any time until they turned into a pile of meat.  These Liao cavalry didn't care. As long as they could still move, they would rush to where the military supplies were piled up and set fire to the pontoon bridge.  After the first battle, it would be good if only half of the ten thousand-horse Liao army, which was used to cut off the retreat of the Huanqing army, could survive.  Cao Lei stayed there in a daze, watching the crazy current destroying all the back-road crossings around him, watching several pontoon bridges burning and falling, and watching the sun slowly move towards the center.  .  However, the Huanqing Army Camp, which was only twenty miles away from the ferry, still had no reinforcements arriving!  Cao Lei sighed: "It is his fault that the rear route has been lost. If the Taiwei fails to command, he will be defeated. This time when he went north, the Qing army fought two battles at Baigou and Sorghum. Both of them were the main force, and both were defeated. A certain generation of the Song Dynasty  General, how can I return to Henan with face? "On October 22, the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, when Xiao Yan's army from the north finally roared back, the back road of the Huanqing army was trapped by Xiao Qian's army, and General Cao was guarding the back road.  He died of exhaustion.  The last battle under Yanjing City started from this, and a frenzied trend swept up until all the heroes on this apocalyptic stage were involved!
