Chapter 468 Leading you into an urn
The fighting tonight has long stopped. Everyone is watching the show and waiting for new actors to enter the show.
Zhao Wenhui, who was surrounded by enemies, had already exhausted all his strength. It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to kill someone.
But just after he was exhausted, no more Khitan generals came to die, and the Khitan troops that surrounded their remaining Yingzhou guards also stopped fighting.
The two sides were in a strange standoff, with only a few thousand people left on one side and more than 100,000 on the other side.
Li Jinzhong had his chair brought and a stove brought in front of Sun Wanrong to warm up his gradually cooling body.
"Calculating the time, it's almost time."
Sun Wanrong closed his eyes and listened to the new buzzing sound between heaven and earth.
Soon, a group of soldiers and horses arrived. To the southeast of the Khitan military camp, the soldiers of the Youwei Guard arrived under the leadership of Wang Tiehan.
Wang Tiehan, who had just stood still, felt a chill on his back immediately after seeing the eerie silence of the battlefield.
"The Yingzhou Army only has these few thousand men left?"
Sun Wanrong opened his eyes and looked at Wang Tiehan and the Right Guard under his command. Based on his many years of marching experience, he was at most a deputy general of Wang Xiaojie, and the number of people he brought was at most 10,000 or 20,000.
"Brother, tell Brother Haofan to bring his men to stop them."
"I guess these people are just here to observe the situation on the scene. It will be difficult for them to rescue Zhao Wenhui."
"I have to wait and wait for a piece of delicious barbecue that smells so good that we can close the net immediately."
Li Jinzhong said "hmm" and immediately ordered the messenger to convey Sun Wanrong's order.
Soon, the Khitan general Ge Haofan, who received the order, led more than 10,000 people under his command and began to confront the Youwei Guard under Wang Tiehan.
Wang Tiehan on his horse saw the crowded Khitan army and the surrounded Yingzhou guards, and he did not dare to rescue them at all.
Tiger Division Commander Bu Zhen finally spoke:
"I knew that Zhao Wenhui was a bait, and Sun Wanrong's ultimate goal was still Youwei Guards. I just don't know how many Youwei Guards he wants to attract with Zhao Wenhui."
His deputy general tried his best to look far away and discovered something strange: there were only 40,000 to 50,000 Khitan soldiers surrounding Zhao Wenhui's army.
There were only more than 10,000 Khitan troops blocking the Right Guard under Wang Tiehan.
In other words, there were at least 60,000 to 70,000 Khitan troops who were always on guard against attacks from all directions by the soldiers of the Right Guard.
"If Sun Wanrong doesn't die, he will be a real threat to us."
His deputy general sighed sincerely.
"Fortunately, he probably won't live long. I heard that he led the charge in Chongzhou City and was seriously injured. Now he probably just wants to make one last contribution to Khitan."
It was rare for Bu Zhen to have any other expression on his face, but this expression looked more like regret.
The Khitans had submitted to the Great Zhou for a long time. The reason they rebelled was because the governor of Yingzhou, Zhao Wenhui, was so cruel.
Sun Wanrong was also a well-known talent, and his prestige in Khitan was second only to Li Jinzhong. If such a person died, we would lose a lot of fun in the future.
"He is truly a man of heaven." The deputy general sighed, "Although he is a hero to others, he is not our enemy. What a pity."
"They have Sun Wanrong, and we Turks also have Marshal Daleha, who is enough to match them." Bu Zhen raised his neck.
"This Yingzhou governor is a complete idiot. If I were him, I would kill myself and not cause trouble for the Great Zhou army."
"Yes, if he continues to waste time with the Yingzhou Guards, when the large number of reinforcements from the Great Zhou Army arrives, will he be dead or alive?"
"Maybe it's survival."
"Isn't it a better fate for a general to die on the battlefield? He is just a coward." Bu Zhen exhaled a breath of hot air, "It's so cold, and I don't know when it will end."
A quarter of an hour later, a group of war horses appeared. On the leading horse, there was a man in a long blue robe, and five generals stood on both sides of him, all with ferocious expressions.
Behind these people, five thousand soldiers of the Right Guard were ready for battle.
Li Cunxi rode his horse forward, and Mo Ling and Qiao Tai followed closely, always paying attention to the situation in all directions.
About a hundred meters away from the military camp, Li Cunxi stood on the hill and could clearly see what was going on inside the Khitan military camp.
"This kind of work is definitely not something that Li Jinzhong can do."
"Is this not pure just to lure people into the trap?"
"Only Sun Wanrong could come up with such a plan."
Li Cunxi understood it at a glance. The tens of thousands of Khitan troops in the field, who were ready to fight against the enemy forces from all directions at any time, were a big gift package left for them, the reinforcements.
Zhao Wenhui, who was surrounded, did not die, not to mention that there were thousands of Yingzhou guards who were trapped in the siege.
Any support force seeing this scene would surely be unable to resist helping out.
If there is no rescue, it is hard to imagine whether the reinforcements will be able to gain a foothold in the army in the future.
Li Cunxi looked around, turned his horse around and returned to Li Kaigu.
"General Li, have you seen the situation in the Khitan camp?"
"See clearly, Lord Li, they are tempting us to take the bait, and we have no choice but to take it." Li Kaigu said, "At the very least, I can't just watch the Yingzhou Guards being slaughtered."
"This is Sun Wanrong's conspiracy. He knows that we know what he is thinking, but we still have to follow his ideas."
Li Cunxi turned his horse again and faced the Khitan camp.
"So, Lord Li, have you decided to save Zhao Wenhui? If you save him, we will die too."
"I know, but I can assure you that if we dare to turn around and leave, Sun Wanrong will definitely send the Khitan army to attack and kill Zhao Wenhui and his men."
"But... Zhao Wenhui is just an ordinary man, and the people in the city are the top priority."
"I can also guarantee you that if we dare to turn around and leave, Sun Wanrong will have people pile up the heads of the Yingzhou guards under the city of Chongzhou tomorrow." Li Cunxi said in a flat tone.
"Then what should we do?" Li Kaigu had no choice but to ask.
"We can only find a way to save them."
Li Cunxi smiled strangely and turned to Hu Jinghui: "Brother Jinghui, go and call Wang Tiehan and his army."
Hu Jinghui, holding the five-clawed flying hook and sickle spear, rode his horse towards Wang Tiehan.
Soon, Wang Tiehan came with 20,000 soldiers and horses and stood together with Li Kaigu's soldiers.
In the Khitan military camp, Sun Wanrong's eyelids twitched when he found that Wang Tiehan's troops had merged with the new reinforcements.
Li Jinzhong lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "They have gathered their troops together. Are they going to launch an attack?"
A lieutenant ran forward, knelt on one knee and said, "Khan, Marshal, the flag outside is the flag of the Right Camp General Li. Among the leading generals, the leader is a young man in his teens."
"Is it the traitor Li Kaigu who led the troops? Who is that young man in his teens?" Li Jinzhong asked puzzled.
Sun Wanrong struggled to stand up, "It must be Li Cunxi, I must meet him."
