  Soon, Wanyan Ruru discovered that something was wrong and hastily ordered a retreat, allowing the Jurchen troops to withdraw. This further boosted the morale of the Liao soldiers, and Chen Yuan took advantage of the momentum to launch a small charge, retaking the first trench.

  This skirmish ended with the victory of the Liao army, and after counting the spoils, the Jurchen people lost more than 200 men. If Chen Yuans command to shoot arrows had been given a little earlier, the number would have increased further.

  "Lord Chen," a general stood behind Chen Yuan, with an unusually respectful attitude.

  In the army, it is like this, being able to bring soldiers back alive from the battlefield is what earns them respect. So this victory completely changed Chen Yuan's standing in the eyes of these Liao soldiers.

  Chen Yuan turned his head and took a glance at the man, but it was hard to see his face clearly in the dark night. Anyway, after gambling for so long, he looked somewhat familiar.

  That man smiled and said: "I'm Xiao Da, Commander Chen may not remember me."

  Chen Yuan really didn't have any impression, then Xiao Da said: "I am here to apologize to Lord Chen. I recall that when we let General Liu Fang go out of the city alone, I scolded him many times. Please don't mind, sir."

  Chen Yuan chuckled: "General Xiao, no need to say these things. If it were in the past when you scolded me, I wouldn't let it go. When we return to Yanjing, I'll scold you properly then. For now, please General, be more careful, tonight those Jurchens might come again."

  Xiao Da immediately said, "Yes, I came to find you for this matter. Sir, I think the Jurchen must also have ambush troops in the woods behind us, just not many people. But if they come out and attack when we're busy at the front, it's still very dangerous."

  Chen Yuanyi thought for a moment and then looked back at the forest behind them, "General, you mean to say that we must first resolve the crisis behind us?"

  Xiao Da nodded: "Hmm, I have an idea. Why don't we consider luring out the Jurchen troops behind us and taking them out first?"

  Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "No need, even if we force them out, I don't dare to go in. They will still send people to our back. I think now is the time for us to set a fire, even if it can't burn the forest, we have to let those trapped brothers know that someone has come to rescue them!"

  Xiao Da was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with joy: "I'll go prepare the rocket right away."

  Xiao Huwei walked over and saw Xiao Da's excited look, looking at Chen Yuan in confusion: "Brother Chen, what's going on?"

  Chen Yuansheng said in a low voice: "Let the brothers prepare for battle."

  Although it didn't cause a sea of flames, the firelight still cast a reddish glow on this deep winter night sky, and could be seen clearly from tens of miles away in the mountain valleys!

  The Yale Niu's depressed mood was suddenly lifted! He knew that the Jurchen people would never do such a thing as setting fire to the forest. If this fire wasn't a natural disaster, it must have been done by the Liao soldiers of the Huanglong Garrison.

  Why did they set fire? Are they trying to convey some kind of signal to themselves?

  Yelü Niegulu pondered for a moment, still unable to grasp the key point, when Yelü Lüjing rushed over: "Ninth Brother, there's a fire on that side!"

  Yelü Nierong nodded: "Mm, I see."

  Yelü Lüjing said on horseback: "Shouldn't we be killing our way out somewhere?"

  Yelü Niegulu shook his head: "No, looking at the distance of more than 20 miles, we don't have war horses now, and it's dark, our soldiers are also exhausted, can't make it."

  Yelü Lüjing hastily said: "I should probably do something about it?"

  Yelü Niegulu thought for a moment: "Alright, let's send three thousand men to probe and see if we can break through the enemy lines first. Then we'll make our next move."

  The flames gave hope to these nearly desperate Liao soldiers, and with that hope they regained their confidence and courage. The three thousand soldiers immediately charged up the mountain, trying to open a path for the entire army.

  All the Liao soldiers bid farewell to these three thousand people with their own eyes, until their figures disappeared in the dark forest.

  The Jurchen people were obviously well-prepared.

  Wutaibai knew that the Liao army would definitely launch a charge in that direction as soon as he saw the flames, so he immediately concentrated his forces there.

  When the three thousand Liao soldiers stepped into the dense forest, the miserable cries immediately echoed through the night sky of the mountain valley. Yelü Nügu had already been very familiar with this miserable cry, and every time they failed to break through, it was like this. The eyes of those soldiers also showed despair again.

  Yelü Lüjing thought for a moment and said: "Ninth brother, can we set fire?"

  She thought it was simple. Since the front can set fire to burn the forest, then this side should also be able to do so, burning these forests, at least making those Jurchen people lose their hiding place.

  Yelü Niegulu smiled wryly: "Our luck is not good, the nearby mountain peaks are mostly Qing Song trees that are difficult to burn. I think, unless we take torches in and burn them, it's hard to have the same effect as over there."

  Yelü Lüjie said with a self-deprecating smile, "I was thinking of going to rescue Hongji, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this. With the fire starting on that side, who knows what state Hongji is in now?"

  Just as he was thinking, a soldier suddenly shouted loudly: "General! Ahead!"

  Yelü Niegulu looked ahead and saw the faint flicker of torches in the forest, his heart filled with great surprise: "Could it be that someone is really setting fires in the forest?"

  Where the torch flashed by, flames soon burst forth. Although the fire was not large, if it were allowed to burn like this, it would inevitably become a prairie fire.

  Yelü Niegulu immediately understood that those troops were absolutely from Liao State!

  This discovery filled him with wild joy!

  It is necessary to know that the trapped Liao soldiers had an absolute advantage in numbers. If it were not for the Jurchen people taking advantage of the terrain, Yelü Niegulu would not have been able to find a place to break through, and they would not have been able to trap the Liao soldiers at all.

  Now that the gap has been pointed out, Yelü Nigulu did not hesitate any longer. He immediately led his most elite troops: "Soldiers! In the direction of that firelight, our path to life is there! Charge!"

  Yelü Lüjing also refused to fall behind, and although they had lost their horses, the Liao soldiers still rushed up with all their might. Everyone understood that if those holding torches could hold on until they charged up, this path would be opened!

  This truth was also understood by Wutu Baiguo, who naturally did not want to see the fat sheep he had obtained escape from the trap. He immediately brought all the Jurchen people who could be mobilized around him and rushed towards the mountain head.

  Yang Wenguang rode on his war horse, holding a steel knife in his hand, waiting for the arrival of the enemy. Soon, the scout horse brought news that the Jurchen had approached.

  Yelü Hongji was somewhat startled by this news and looked at Yang Wenguang saying: "Brother Pang Wen, the Jurchen people have come!"

  Yang Wenguang calmly took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket and took two bites: "Investigating."

  Until the scout reported that the Jurchen troops had reached halfway up the mountain, he raised his long knife and let the Liao soldiers form a battle array.

  He also formed a dense formation, with a row of long gunners riding on horseback, all somewhat tense. Yang Wenguang's eyes were fixed on the Jurchen people rushing up the mountain waist, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  The Jurchen people were brave, but also very foolish. Because apart from their bravery, they had a big gap with the Liao army in military literacy, and their equipment was simple and armor was scarce. The Liao army, led by Yelü Nügu, could come over immediately, while the Jurchen people did not have any reinforcements to arrive.

  The most important thing is that we are now standing on the mountain with ease and waiting for labor, while the Jurchen people have lost their geographical advantage.

  "Archers!" Yang Wenguang saw the enemy rushing up and decided to overwhelm them with momentum, making the Liao soldiers behind him more courageous.

  He saw the enemy army divided into three teams, a robust Jurchen woman rushed up first and had already climbed up. Yang Wenguang burst out laughing and rode his horse to charge down at that Jurchen woman who had just exposed her head.

  After Alta rushed up, he saw a knight waving his sword at him. He suddenly jumped high, his body leaping more than half a person's height, and at the same time, the steel fork in his hand stabbed towards Yang Wenguang's war horse.

  Yang Wenguang was greatly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this Jurchen woman to be so agile with her hands, if it wasn't for him having the upper hand, wanting to subdue her would really be somewhat troublesome.

  Dodging the incoming steel spear, the long knife in his hand did not reduce its momentum, and one slash landed on Alta's arm.

  Ard's arms suddenly felt an unbearable pain, and the steel spear in his hand fell down.

  But he himself was a fierce man, and at this time, instead of dodging, he kicked out with one foot after landing, kicking towards Yang Wenguang's horse.

  Yang Wenguang flew into a rage: "Looking for death!"

  As soon as the voice fell, the long knife in his hand picked up the steel fork on the ground and shot it straight at Alta's chest. The fork pierced through the body, and the bloody gun head appeared from behind Alta's back.

  Yang Wenguang grasped the handle of the steel fork with one hand, and with a forceful swing of both hands, he lifted Alta high above his head and threw her down.

  Killed one at the first encounter, and suddenly made the Liao army's momentum surge, at this time there were also many Jurchen people coming up around.

  Yang Wenguang shouted loudly: "Kill!"

  The Liao army advanced in dense formation, impaling those previously brave Jurchen warriors on their long spears.

  The Jurchen people, who had lost the geographical advantage, were indeed nothing but brave. They came in groups and were killed one by one by Yang Wenguang's concentrated forces on the mountain. Yelü Hongji was also excited to see this, and he now realized how important commanding was.

  As long as the command is good, even a group of such soldiers can become elite!

  Finally, the courage of the female zombies was exhausted, they no longer rushed forward, but turned around and ran. One appeared, followed by a second, and then a third.

  Yang Wenguang knew that the opponent's momentum was also lost, and he turned around to ask Yelü Hongji: "Prince, what should we do next? Pursue or not pursue?"

  Yelü Hongji already regarded Yang Wenguang as a divine being and immediately asked: "What does Brother Pang mean?"

  Yang Wenguang shrugged on his war horse: "It doesn't matter, chasing is fine, and not chasing is also fine."

  Yelü Hongji was overjoyed: "Since that's the case, after suffering for so many days, it's better to take action. Let's pursue!"

  "Men, follow me in pursuit!"

  The Liao soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!" The momentum was quite frightening.
