Chapter five hundred and seventeen pig raising(2/2)
Nearly 30,000 Liao troops rushed towards Rushui frantically.
Ignore the clattering sound.
However, the ice cubes in the river cracked, like opening their vicious big mouths, and the Liao army quickly fell into the ice hole.
"Retreat, retreat." Yelu Longxu couldn't help but shout.
The reason is very simple. When the Liao army was about to approach Rushui, the Song army could roughly determine the direction of their escape, then fry them with gunpowder, roast them with tinder oil, and chisel them with an axe and hammer, and drill them through all the surrounding ice cubes of the Ruhe River more than 20 miles away.
At this time, the north is still very cold, but it is not a day to freeze three feet. The northern rivers can run horses and skate in winter, but that is not the thick ice that is frozen in one day. But after all, it is less than ten days before the New Year, and the coldest winter has passed.
Although the river ahead was frozen again, it was not frozen thickly.
In fact, as the Bian River canal transportation is busy, the people spontaneously applied this principle, using a rough icebreaker to break the ice every day, so that the ice will never be frozen thickly. This is used to extend the shipping time, and even in the warm winter, the canal transportation has almost never been interrupted, although it is commercial transportation and has nothing to do with the government.
The ice cubes were chiseled open and frozen again. It was evening again and it was impossible to identify them at all, so the Liao army rushed up. How heavy would it be if a horse and a person were there? Besides, when it landed on four horse hooves, how could the pressure reach? Furthermore, how could so many cavalry rush up, how could the thin ice in the river be eaten?
In the blink of an eye, he swallowed more than 2,000 Liao soldiers. Fortunately, Yelu Longxu was a little slow, otherwise he would have almost stepped onto the ice of the river and fell into the river.
At this time, Cao Wei brought Dingzhou troops to surround him from the west, Yang Yanzhao brought Baozhou troops to surround him from the north, Shi Pu brought his troops to surround him from Gaoyang Pass, and Li Jilong's army behind him.
More than 20,000 Liao troops were surrounded by a narrow area more than ten miles west of Bianhaobo.
Li Jilong sent soldiers to start sprinkling lime.
A circle was sprinkled with lime in the encirclement, and a line of large characters were written with lime outside: Those who came out of this circle would definitely kill!
Then he sent someone to shout: "If you don't leave this circle, the Song army will stop supplying a small amount of food every day. If you leave this circle, you will definitely kill it. You will choose it yourself."
After saying that, he really threw some food into the circle.
The Liao army looked at each other, but as soon as the Song army left, they were stolen by the Liao soldiers. Xiao Talin and Yelu Longxu felt miserable. Why did this be? They raised more than 20,000 Liao troops as pigs.
Therefore, after three or four hours of rest, at the fourth hour, he suddenly gathered his army to break westward. The west road was Cao Wei. Moreover, as long as he broke through the direction of Baicheng, the Rushui approached the Beiping Village would not be deep. Even if the Song army drilled the river through the ice, he could rush over the river. If he killed it, it would be Liao territory!
However……
However, as soon as they rushed through the circle, Cao Wei took the troops and horses to fight calmly. At this time, because the Liao army was dragged by the Song army, some artillery was dragged to the front line with horses.
Nearly a hundred artillery fired volleys.
Everyone was very afraid of unfamiliar things. As a result, no matter how Xiao Talin ordered, all the Liao soldiers fled back to the circle in a hurry and were willing to be raised by the Song Dynasty as pigs.
The generals of the Liao Kingdom were still unwilling to give up and gathered to discuss.
Then the Liao army did not move. Fortunately, the Song Dynasty did it inexplicably, and continued to throw dry food into the circle every day, and even suddenly became kind and threw some quilts and charcoal into it.
It is impossible to keep warm, but it will not freeze to death. It is impossible to eat well, but it will not starve to death.
