He forgot that they killed tens of thousands of Khitans there, so that the Khitans there hated them the most.

On the other side, Xiao Puxian brought Yelu Dalibo into Yuanhe Hall and found two white ribbons.

Xiao Puxian was a strong woman. She didn't want her and her daughter to be insulted, so she chose to be buried with this former empire.

Yelu Dalibo is a filial daughter who is willing to die with her mother.

But before Xiao Puxian’s daughter and mother hung up the ribbons, someone suddenly shouted outside: “Empress Dowager, Song Bing retreats!”

After hearing this, Xiao Puxian was overjoyed. He quickly threw away the ribbon on his hand, rushed out and asked, "What's going on?"

Soon, two teams of cavalry rushed from a distance.

When Xiao Puxian saw this, tears suddenly burst out!

At this time, Xiao Puxian’s daughter was not an female emperor, but a poor woman.

The Song army continued to retreat to the East Gate of Yanjing.

A sentry ran back and reported to Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi: "The dust is rolling outside the city, and a large group of cavalry came, but I don't know whether it was the Song army or the Liao army."

When Guo Yaoshi heard this, his face changed drastically and he said, "It must be another reinforcement from the Liao army!"

Yang Keshi and other generals did not believe it. They believed that it must be Liu Yanqing who sent a large army to support him.

Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi and other generals climbed up to look at each other, and saw a group of cavalry gathering under the gray city wall.

Guo Yaoshi had sharp eyes and soon found that the flag of the four army king Xiao Gan was erected on a tomb of Yan King outside the city, and then said, "Look, isn't that Xiao Gan's flag?"

Yang Keshi and other generals followed Guo Yaoshi's fingers and saw the flag of the King of the Fourth Army fluttering in the evening breeze, and then their faces were as if dead.

Guo Yaoshi was indignant about the delay in coming and said, "There should be few Liao troops in the Lugou River area. Why didn't Liu Yanqing take the opportunity to launch an attack? The Lugou River is only a few dozen miles away from Yanjing City, and Liu Guangshi's reinforcements should have arrived long ago!"

Yang Keshi was speechless, and he couldn't understand why the reinforcements didn't come? "Is it because they have conflicts with me, Yang Keshi? If this is true, then your father and son are too narrow-minded?"

A trace of sadness surged into Yang Keshi's heart.

Yang Keshi felt both ashamed and guilty now. He had already determined to die, "When the war was fighting like this, what face should I have to go back to the Song Dynasty? What face should I have to meet Tong Xuanfu again?"

Xiao Gan led his troops into the city from the secret passage at the south gate of the imperial city, and then soon contacted Xiao Puxian and Yelu Dashi.

Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi agreed to take action separately to wipe out the Song army in the city.

The Song army fought and retreated, and came to the downstairs of Shuangmen Tower.

Yang Keshi asked Gao Shixuan: "Where is this place?"

Gao Shixuan said: "It seems to be a double gate building."

As soon as Gao Shixuan finished speaking, the Liao army's arrows shot like raindrops, and then teams of Liao army rushed up shouting.

Gao Shixuan raised his spear and assassinated several Liao soldiers in succession.

The two armies then launched a fierce battle.

Yang Keshi shouted loudly to Gao Shixuan: "Don't be in love with the battle, retreat quickly!"

Sudden!

Gao Shixuan was cut off his horse by a Liao soldier.

Seeing this, Yang Keshi shouted loudly, then jumped up and rushed forward.

Most of Gao Shixuan's arms were cut off and blood continued to flow.

Yang Keshi jumped off the horse and picked up Gao Shixuan, and said loudly: "Brother, you can't die!"

Gao Shixuan opened his eyes and looked at Yang Keshi and said, "Find my arms and take my brothers out of the city..."

Due to excessive bleeding, Gao Shixuan died heroically.

Gao Shixuan is a famous archer in the Song army. He is known as Gao Yijian. He once competed with Liu Qi. He could have become a hero, but unfortunately he died here in a cowardly manner.

Yang Keshi seemed to be crazy. He waved his spear and rushed into the middle and east of the Liao army, and the Liao soldiers fled one after another.

When the Song army soldiers saw that the commander was fighting to the death, they all swear to fight to the death.

After a violent killing, the Liao soldiers retreated.

Yang Keshi ordered: "Find Gao Shixuan's arm."

Several personal soldiers walked around but couldn't find it.

Yang Keshi said: "If you look for it again, you must find it. If you can't find it, we will stay here forever!"

Gao Shixuan's arm was finally found.

Then Yang Keshi ordered: "Tie General Gao on the horse's back and I want to take him away."

Yang Keshi and Yang Kebi led the remnants of the army to retreat to the front of Minzhong Temple.

Guo Yaoshi, who had previously divided his troops to advance, has been waiting here for a long time, and a large group of ordinary people gathered in front of the temple.

Yang Keshi said to Guo Yaoshi: "What should I do now? Go to the east gate to wait for reinforcements?"

Pharmacist Guo said: "I have received the exact news that the east gate has been lost!"

The people gathered in front of the gate of Minzhong Temple were all Han people in Yanjing City. They all participated in the massacre of the Khitans. They looked at Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi and said, "You ask us to accuse the Khitans and help you kill the Khitans. Now if you leave the city, what should we do? Besides, the suspension bridges of each city gate have been cut off and there is no way to leave the city. It is better to fight the Khitans to the death!"

Yang Keshi then organized the Song army to fight fiercely with the Liao army, but he was defeated again.

It is impossible to be defeated. The Song army has not been sleeping for three days and nights, and has long been hungry and exhausted, but the Liao army is in a strong position.

The Liao army's encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, so the Song army abandoned their horses and climbed the city wall.

The Liao army gathered more and more, and finally surrounded the Song army on the city wall.

Seeing that his side had been forced to a dead end and was about to fight to the end, Yang Kebi said to his younger brother Yang Kebi: "We are a general family and cannot be like our children. Now is the time for us to sacrifice our lives for the country!"

After saying that, Yang Keshi danced a spear with his hands and directed the soldiers to fight to the death with the Liao army, and ignored the poisoned arrows.

I don’t know how long it took, someone reported to Yang Keshi: “General, Yaoshi Guo has already gone down from the city.”

After hearing this, everyone advised Yang Keshi to go down the city.

But Yang Keshi refused to obey.

Seeing that Yang Keshi was about to die, Yang Kebi said to Yang Keshi: "Zhao Heshou's rear army did not come to support him, and Liu Yanqing's commander did not send troops to respond. Today's affairs are clear. If we all die in such a vague way, everyone will laugh at us as historical sinners in the past for a hundred generations. I think we should go out alive and make right and wrong in the world. If the court punishes the crime, there will be no regrets in death!"

Yang Keshi thought about it and felt that what his brother said made sense, so he came out of the city.

In addition to the generals Gao Shixuan, the Song army sacrificed their lives in Yanjing City, including Wang Qi, Li Yao, Shi Xunmei, Wang Duanchen and other generals, who were all heroes that history should not be forgotten.

The Song army had 5,000 elite cavalry, and in the end only a few hundred people withdrew from the city, all of which were killed...
