Chapter 476: Shoot Taizu
Wang Yanzhang fixed his eyes. It was Li Cunqing's troops who joined the battle at the most critical time. Blocked the retreat of the Khitan Pi Room Army. And Li Cunxiao Hao Ran is among them. Wang Yanzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head. It's really crushed by this guy everywhere. It's fate." Immediately, Wang Yanzhang clenched the big gun again. He shouted, "Jerod light. How dare you fight a certain family."
Jerod and Jereh stood in the same place. Xiao Tuoda, the king of the North Courtyard, shouted urgently. There are also strong enemies in the retreat. Second Prince. The Three Princes. There is no hope of breaking through. Quickly return to the camp. Gather the remnants of the army with the camp. Maybe there's still the strength to fight."
The two of them came to their senses. Yelu Li Hu said urgently. Second brother. You go quickly. I'll break it off here."
"The third brother can't. How can you take risks as a brother?" Jerod said angrily.
"Second brother. You're better than I am. Only you live. Only our Khitan can have hope. Second brother. Everything to save your own life first. In the future, I will avenge my father and me." Yelu Lihu finished saying this. Tear open the robes. Open breasts. Holding a steel fork and killing Wang Yanzhang and others......
Jerod's light was full of tears. A cry of grief." Let's go."
Xiao Tuoda protected Yelu Deguang and fought all the way for a long time. Only then did they return to the camp. And constantly recruit defeated soldiers. In the end, a total of 80,000 horses were gathered. At this time. The entire battalion was also surrounded by the Tang army. The Tang army reorganized the original Khitan Han army. There are still the original generals in charge. Although the damage in this battle is not small. But the force has expanded. There are more than 300,000 horses. plus the 80,000 soldiers and horses under Yanjing who did not participate in the battle of the Gaoliang River. The Tang army had nearly 400,000 troops at this time.
Youzhou Yanjing stayed in the house and the lights were bright. But the faces of the generals were darker than the night outside the mansion.
They are like a group of travelers left on an isolated island. Maybe one day there will be a tsunami. will sweep them into the sea. The day is also looking forward to it. I look forward to the night. Finally I was looking forward to a ship. But they didn't expect the ship to be more dangerous than the island they were living on. Because...... He's sunk......
Jerod stood up in a hurry. Big hands clenched with swords. The green tendons on the back of the palm are as tight as earthworms. A moment of heavy gasp. Sitting down again. His face was cloudy and he groaned for a moment. Huo Di stood up again. Gritted his teeth for a long time. He sat down heavily. If so, three or five times. The generals in the court all looked at him in amazement.
Then. A general stood up and said. Ladies and gentlemen. Our reinforcements have been defeated by Duan Mingyu. Abaoji and the third prince have returned to heaven. We're in danger."
Yelu Feng Dao." Hum. I have thick walls in Yanjing City. 100,000 soldiers. A siege is no match for a field battle. Forgive him, Duan Mingyu can't attack it. Prepare to defend the city. It's almost December. As I expected. Heavy snow will fall in three days. At that time. Not in January. Duan Mingyu naturally retreated."
To put it this way. The generals were a little relieved in their hearts......
Khitan reinforcement battalion. Xiao Tuoda, the king of the North Courtyard, paused. Said bitterly: "Second prince. Or try to ...... with the southerners Let's make peace......"
Jerod stood up in a glad manner. Said angrily: "Greater than Yue. That's a great way to come up with it." Xiao Tuoda looked at him coldly. Said: "What does the Second Highness think?"
Yerod raised his arms and shouted, "Reinforcements must not be feared. We'll kill them."
"Kill it. It's easier said than done."
Xiao Tuoda was also annoyed. Huo Ran got up and said, "The deployment of the 400,000 troops outside is mainly aimed at us. It is inevitably doubly difficult to break through from the inside out. It was especially difficult for the light cavalry to break through and protect the Second Highness. The most important thing is that. Our 500,000 reinforcements were blocked from a few passes. It is difficult to enter Youzhou. Available once in town. You can take advantage of the fortified city and get safe. Now let's break out and don't talk about whether the breakout was successful or not. Even if it really succeeds. Can you escape the encirclement and interception of the Tang army all the way? To know now the seven states in front of the mountain. In addition to this Youzhou city. It's all in the hands of the Tang Army. You must know that the Don Army now also has a large number of cavalry. We don't have the ability to get rid of the enemy forces quickly."
Jerod's bare face was blue for a while. Red for a while. Hur frowned angrily. Suddenly, he stopped talking. For a long time. Finally sat down.
Jerod was speechless. The other civil and military forces were naturally speechless.
Jerod's face was as cold as water. There was silence for a long time. Only then did he squint his eyes slightly and said, "The Tang army is sharp. They...... Will you agree to make peace?"
As soon as this remark came out. All the civil and military people know it in their hearts. Yerod was under pressure from internal and external difficulties. There is an intention to resolve the war through negotiations. At this time, the commanders of the three armies have already set the general direction. That's easy to do. Among the courtiers. After all, most of them are wall-riding. War or peace is not something they can decide. Before Jerod spoke gibberish without a clear attitude of war or peace. Inevitably become a handle. In the future, once it is counterattacked, it will be counted. It is greatly disadvantageous in the career path.
Now Jerod has made his attitude clear. All the ministers suddenly came alive. Every word you say, I say a word, and I have expressed my position. It's a pity that most of them are fanning the wind and lighting the fire with the meaning of Yerod's light. Nothing substantial.
Xiao Tuoda is a pure general. Let him fight the line. He's not good at this kind of thing at all. It's just sitting there just staring at a pair of bull's eyes and listening to others. The more I listened, the more I was confused.
"Duan Mingyu will agree to make peace." One voice. It's like a final word. The hall was full of noise and silence. It was the second prince Yelu Deguang who spoke. The deaths of Emperor Abaoji and his third brother made him confused. Now that I have calmed down, I have regained my composure. Yerod said: "Seeing that the harsh winter is coming. How could the Tang army leave their homeland for a long time. Wandering in a foreign country. If there is no rush to end the war . He won't plot against Youzhou regardless of losses. They won't take the initiative to fight for me. There is no doubt that Youzhou City is enough to hold on until the beginning of spring next year. And our big camp. Hold on for a while. The tide of battle will be reversed. It's just ......" Yerod showed a bitter and helpless smile on his lips: "It's just. . . We can't know for sure. How long can he hold out. And we. I can't hold on anymore."
The hall fell silent again. For a long time. Xiao Tuoda said in a cold voice: "Second prince. Now Emperor Taizu Abaoji has returned to heaven. The most important thing for us now is not to defeat the Tang Army. Rather, it is to support the second prince to ascend the throne of God. Although the eldest prince is steady. But too dependent on the Han Chinese. The second prince can fight habitually. is the real hope of the Khitan. Now the second prince's top priority is to conceal the news of Emperor Abaoji's death. It can be delayed for a day. Let's negotiate peace with Tang Jun as soon as possible. At that time, the second prince will return to Beijing with 80,000 elites. Then announce the news of the death of Emperor Abaoji. Plus the support of Empress Shulu. You can still ascend to the throne of God. As long as the second prince works hard for a few years. The six states in front of the mountain will definitely be back in our hands. to wash away the shame of the defeat of the Gaoliang River."
