Yelu Renxian's army rushed to Bei'an City. Just as he was about to enter the city, no one expected such an accident to happen. Yelu Renxian shouted "Is it bad" and spitted blood and fell from the horse. This scared Yelu Zhixian and others next to him, and hurriedly jumped off the horse to support him.

At this time, Yelu Ren's face was as bloody as gold paper, but his eyes were scary red, and his hands and feet were trembling. After being helped up, he immediately endured the pain in his body and said, "Hurry... order the army to turn northwest, Bei'an City has been occupied by the Song army!"

Hearing Yelu Renxian's words, Yelu Zhixian, Xiao Oliduan and others looked at each other because they received news from Bei'an City a few days ago that there was no abnormality around Bei'an City. In addition, they turned their heads and looked at the walls of Bei'an City. There was clearly a flag of the Great Liao Dynasty floating on it. How could there be any part of it being occupied by the Song army?

"The city wall...there are traces of shelling on the surface of the city wall!" Yelu Renxian saw Yelu Zhixian and others' puzzled expressions, and reminded him again. Now Yelu Zhixian and others finally discovered that there were many bumpy marks on the surface of the city wall of Bei'an City. Those who were familiar with the firearms of Song immediately realized that this was left after the shelling, and these traces were very new. It can be concluded that they were left behind in recent days, but they did not see the Song army outside the city.

In addition, Yelu Zhixian and the others also discovered that the defenders on the city had clearly seen their arrival and should have sent people to greet them, but there was no movement on the other side of the city gate. Even the soldiers on the city did not seem to have any big reaction when they saw them. Although these loopholes were not very conspicuous, they became even more suspicious after thinking about them carefully.

It was also because of the abnormality in Bei'an City that Yelu Zhixian immediately issued the order on behalf of his brother. After a while, the entire army began to slowly turn to the northwest, intending to bypass Bei'an City.

Unfortunately, they were already a little late when they discovered the abnormality. Just as their army turned, they suddenly saw two Song troops breaking out on both sides of the road, and the Liao flags on the top of Bei'an City fell to the ground one by one. One side of the Song flags were raised, and then a Song army broke out from the city gate and attacked Yelu Renxian's army on three sides.

Seeing that there were Song troops on all sides, Yelu Renxian's army was immediately panicked. They had been very tired after several days of travel, but now they finally arrived in Bei'an City and were preparing to have a good rest, but they didn't expect that they finally arrived here but encountered the ambush of the Song army. This huge contrast made many people unable to react for a while. In addition, the Song army attacked from three sides, which had a huge psychological impact on the Liao army.

Originally, at this time, it was the time to test a commander's ability. Unfortunately, Yelu Renxian vomited blood and fell down at this time, and he could not command the army at all. No one among the remaining generals could convince the public, and he could not form a unified command. It would be appropriate to describe it as the leaderless person in the group of dragons. In this case, it was already considered outstanding that the Liao army did not collapse immediately.

Hu Yanping, on the top of the city, saw the Liao army in chaos, and showed a smug smile on his face. He had led the army to besiege Dading Prefecture before, but except for the first tentative attacks, he only surrounded and did not attack. The purpose was to attract Yelu Renxian's army to rescue, so that the siege in Gubeikou could be lifted. Second, their original goal was to eliminate Yelu Renxian's army, making the Liao Kingdom unable to move south in the next few years.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that when Hu Yanping led a large army to besiege Dading Prefecture, Zhao Yan always sent people to pay attention to the movements of Yelu Renxian's army. When Yelu Renxian's army withdrew from Gubeikou, their every move was under the surveillance of the Song army. Just a few days before Yelu Renxian and his friends arrived in Bei'an City, Hu Yanping quietly withdrew from Dading Prefecture, then attacked Bei'an City, captured the place in one fell swoop, and arranged an ambush to wait for Yelu Renxian's army to take the bait.

The Song army had already set up an ambush and waited for work. It can be said that it occupied the right time, place, and people. On the other hand, Yelu Renxian's army actually lost the commander at this moment. As a result, under the attack of the Song army on three sides, they quickly lost their sense of resistance. Several major generals commanded the army to retreat. Although they knew that there were Song troops coming behind, at least they had not formed an encirclement yet, so they hoped that they could break out of the encirclement before the Song army behind arrived.

Although Yelu Renxian vomited blood, he was still awake at the beginning. However, when he saw the surrounding generals in chaos when they encountered three sides of the Song army, they finally took him back, which made him anxious and angry, because he knew that if he concentrated his troops to attack any side of the three sides, it would be extremely likely to break out of the siege. However, if he retreated, he would probably be completely blocked by the army behind him. At that time, his 100,000 troops would only be completely eaten by the Song army.

Unfortunately, although Yelu Renxian knew in his heart, he was extremely weak at this time and was incomplete, let alone giving orders. In addition, the other generals were in a mess, and they just wanted to escape. No one was willing to listen to his command anymore. So Yelu Renxian could only watch his subordinates escape into the ambush circle of the Song army. Finally, he was angry and fainted.

The Song army blocked behind was the army led by Yang Huaiyu himself. In addition to the soldiers who needed to stay, he brought 50,000 troops at once. He calculated the time and chased after Yelu Ren's advance. When the Liao army retreated in a panic, they happened to be blocked tightly by them. As a result, under a grenade and a crossbow, the Liao army in the encirclement was undoubtedly exposed. The disadvantages of not being unified in command were not doubted. Many Liao troops even put down their weapons on the spot and chose to surrender.

Yelu Renxian was unconscious, which made the Liao army without a leader. No matter which direction they fled, they were finally defeated by the Song army. Moreover, with the slow compression of the Song army from all sides, the Liao army's activity area became smaller and smaller. In the end, all the Liao army were all in a short hill, and they used the terrain between several hills to protect themselves. However, they lacked food and drinking water. Yelu Renxian had another surprise, and probably couldn't last a few days.

After the encirclement of all directions, Hu Yanping and Yang Huaiyu's army finally met. The main generals of the two armies also met and discussed the next action plan. It was precisely by this opportunity that Hu Yanqing and Hu Yanping's cousins ​​finally met. Unfortunately, they had no chance to speak privately. After only discussing the military situation, they immediately returned to their respective military camps and started to be busy.

Through some of the Liao Kingdoms that surrendered today, Yang Huaiyu and the others already knew that there was something wrong with Yelu Renxian's health, and it was said that they vomited blood, which also gave them greater confidence in the annihilation of the Liao army this time. Therefore, after the encirclement, after only one day of rest, the Song army on all sides launched a fierce attack on the Liao army, intending to force the Liao army to surrender before Yelu Renxian's health was good.

As the news of Yelu Renxian's army being trapped, Yelu Jun, who went to the capital, also received the news quickly, which surprised him. Although he was very afraid of the troops in Yelu Renxian's hands, he had issued several imperial edicts to force Yelu Renxian to attack Gubeikou. But that was just trying to consume Yelu Renxian's troops. When these troops were consumed to a certain extent, he would find a reason to mobilize Yelu Renxian out of the army and send someone to take over his army. But if Yelu Renxian's army was taken down by the Song army now, it would be an extremely serious blow to their Liao Kingdom, and it would be difficult to recover within several years.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Yelu Jun did not drag Yelu Renxian back this time, but immediately issued an imperial edict to the defenders in Dading Mansion, ordering them to distribute some of their troops to help Yelu Renxian's army, not asking for complete rescue, but only asking for some of them to be able to rescue them, even if they have a great achievement.

There were 60,000 defenders in the Dading Prefecture. They were already scared to the army led by Hu Yanping. At this time, they received an order from the court to send troops to rescue Yelu Renxian. No one was willing to lead the troops to fight for a while. After all, they could still take advantage of the city walls within the city wall, but if they were outside, there would be no protection. If they fought with the gunpowder troops in the Song army, wouldn’t they be dead?

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the defenders of the Song Dynasty were not moving for a long time and were preparing to look at the situation first. After all, after they held on, Yelu Renxian took away a hundred thousand troops. Even though the previous war consumed some, there were still at least 70,000 to 80,000 people. With the strength of the Song army, it is definitely not possible to eat these 70,000 to 80,000 people in a short period of time.

It was precisely the idea of ​​the Dading Prefecture defenders that the reinforcements were not arrived for a long time, and Yelu Renxian was unconscious again, which led to the fact that the Liao army surrounded by Yang Huaiyu and Hu Yanping had no leader. Several major generals quarreled over whether to break through and how to break through, and no one could convince anyone.

Among them, Yelu Zhixian is Yelu Renxian's younger brother. Although his talent is worse, he still has hope to temporarily command the entire army with the help of his elder brother's prestige. Unfortunately, there is also a son-in-law Xiao Wuliduan in the army. He wanted to take over the military power, but he also won over several generals. The two had disagreements. The entire Liao army can be said to be full of contradictions. What's worse is that their food capital is about to bottom out. Some of them were damaged in a big battle, which made the food in the army short of food. After being besieged, they almost ran out of food. Under such internal and external troubles, they may not even know how many days they can last? (To be continued)
