As they were talking, the iron hooves of the Liao army had already charged over and were about to rush to the entrance of the inn.
Suddenly, a burst of war drums sounded, and on the walls of the military camp, as well as the eaves and walls of the inn, two rows of Song soldiers' archers appeared, each drawing their bows and shooting arrows at the Liao soldiers who had rushed into the city.
At the same time, burning firewood was thrown from behind the wall and smashed at the feet of the Liao soldiers.
The luckier Liao soldiers were shot dead at the beginning, and those who survived were not necessarily lucky. Because the firewood not only hindered their activity range but also made the war horses extremely irritable, and many knights were thrown off by the war horses.
Di Qing's arrangement was not just that, at a time when the Liao army could neither advance nor retreat, a row of horse-drawn carriages suddenly flashed out from the other end of the street.
Great minds think alike, Liao people thought of using a horse-drawn cart to break the gate, and Di Qing immediately used the same method on himself.
A row of carts loaded with dry firewood; the Song soldiers set them ablaze, and the horses pulling the carts were frightened, galloping forward desperately.
One by one, the burning chariots burst into the formation of Liao soldiers. At this moment, even the bravest warriors could not withstand it.
"Fall back! Fall back first!" The commander of the Liao army shouted loudly.
It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. The Song soldiers on the wall were constantly shooting and killing the enemy with bows and arrows, while the righteous men at the bottom of the city were also showing off their skills, tightly guarding the empty space next to the city gate, pulling down the passing Liao soldiers from their horses and beating them to death.
The most critical thing is that some Liao soldiers outside are still squeezing in, which makes the several thousand Liao soldiers who charged into the city have no way to retreat, as if they were in a purgatory.
Bai Yutang looked at him with a haha smile: "Jiuzi, are they still so arrogant now?"
Yelü Niegulu did not lift his head: "Bai brother, it's time to go and kill Yelü Xiyinbao."
Bai Yutang drew his treasured sword and blew a loud whistle. Over a hundred Song soldiers immediately descended from the inn. With a smile on his face, he rushed towards Ye Lü Nu'er and Chen Yuan, clasping his fists: "Both of you, wait here for my good news!"
Xiao Yuanchu also reacted quickly, realizing that things were not going as smoothly as he had thought. Seeing the Liao soldiers crowded at the city gate, he immediately sounded the horn to retreat.
He didn't retreat immediately either. As a long-term and opposing force in the wilderness, Xiao Yuanchu was very experienced in preventing enemy pursuit. Moreover, the Song Dynasty army mainly consisted of infantry, with few cavalry.
Xiao Cong Qiu didn't know, it was that small and pitiful cavalry unit, Di Qing had already handed over to Yang Wen Guang. And at this time, Yang Wen Guang was behind Xiao Cong Qiu's back.
Just as the Liao army was slowly withdrawing from Wensong, before they could even reform their ranks, they were attacked by Yang Wenguang.
The attack was not sudden, but because of the disorderly formation of the Liao army, the non-sudden attack had a very sudden effect.
Yang Wenguang led five hundred men to kill the Liao army, and Xiang Shuo's first reaction was to figure out where this batch of troops came from. He was deeply afraid that the Song army's reinforcements had arrived, if so, then he should leave quickly.
On the battlefield, there can't be a slightest hesitation, especially when Xiao Yu's opponent is Di Qing. This slight hesitation immediately made him suffer even greater losses.
Di Qing led the soldiers in the city and rushed out all at once, chasing after the defeated Liao soldiers.
As for those enemies who have not been cleared at the city gate, they can be left to the righteous men who helped the Song army fight.
Many of those martyrs had never been on a battlefield before, and their emotions often fluctuated with the ups and downs of the war situation.
At the moment when the city gate of Song army was broken, their morale also fell to the bottom. But in an instant, the situation changed suddenly, and they seemed to be in high spirits.
Moreover, killing them one by one was originally their strong point, and the lone Liao soldiers in the city were quickly captured and killed.
Some people have not killed enough, and they rush out of the city.
But when they went out, Xiao Yuqiu had already led the troops to retreat. Di Qing did not pursue them either, and led the victorious army back into the city to rest.
As they watched the retreating figures of the Liao people, the entire inn was immediately filled with cheers. Bai Yutang and others who had won the victory walked shoulder to shoulder from outside, and those righteous men also returned to the inn one after another.
This time, Xiao Er did not give a cold face again. He stood at the door with great enthusiasm and welcomed everyone in. He even specially prepared several jars of good old wine to reward those who were willing to lend a hand to protect Wen Tong.
From the look on Bai Yutang's face, Chen Yuan knew that this battle was definitely extremely enjoyable. Pang Xi was even more so, walking in the front with his upper body naked and a pleased expression.
Just now when fighting, he relied on his copper skin and rushed to the places where the Liao soldiers gathered. In fact, among the chaotic soldiers, his copper skin was much more effective than Bai Yutang's martial arts. As long as Pang Xi went somewhere, the battle there would end immediately.
Yelü Niegulu didn't care about their battle results, and upon seeing Bai Yutang enter, he hastily asked: "Brother Bai, has Yelü Xuebao been killed?"
"Bai Yutang feigned surprise: 'Oh dear! I forgot about this! Just now, I was only concerned with the thrill of killing and didn't notice if there was a Ye Luxiubao among those killed!'"
Yelü Niegulu's face suddenly didn't look good. However, he couldn't say anything because the agreement between the two parties was very clear. Yelü Niegulu revealed the situation of the Liao army, and Wu Zhi no longer pursued him. As for Yelü Shuobao, he was not a bargaining chip in the transaction between the two sides.
Bai Yutang looked at Yelü Niegulu's dejected appearance and knew that Chen Yuan was right, sparing Yelü Shubao would be troublesome, especially with the Ninth Prince.
Bai Yutang sat down: "However, running away from him is no big deal. General Di Qing said earlier that the battle at Xiao Congqiu lost 3,000 men and horses, and they must have retreated by now. The reinforcements from the Song Dynasty will arrive soon, and Wen Tong will be able to hold on."
Yelü Nüguo was now speechless, Yelü Xianyu's return to the Song army had no effect, but it was different for him.
"Nine princes, rest assured that our words are absolutely reliable. You can leave with Wen Tong at any time, and no one will stop you."
Yelü Niegulu let out a sigh, no matter what, at least he was still alive, and that wasn't the worst outcome. Even with all the trouble ahead, he had to go back, after all, there were important things waiting for him to do when he returned.
"Now then, looking at Chen Yuan: 'When does Brother Chen's caravan plan to set off?'"
Chen Yuan shook his head: "Not necessarily, the Ninth Prince also knows that there are many horse bandits on this road, we must wait until we feel safe before setting out. What, does the Ninth Prince want to travel with us?"
Yelü Niegulu smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I want to, but I must take Chen Zhanggui's carriage to return. At present, I have injuries on my body, if I go alone, I will definitely not be able to make it alive to Yanjing. The only thing is whether Chen Zhanggui is willing to do me this favor or not."
Chen Yuandong really didn't know why Yelü Nügu had to travel with him, did he see something?
