During the day, the Western Liao army, which was extremely strong in combat, undoubtedly took the initiative and kept rubbing against the Western Xia soldiers, but at night, the Western Xia soldiers took advantage of the geographical advantage to launch a counterattack. In this way, you come and go, the two armies, more than 100,000 troops, are difficult to kill in the small military city, and it is impossible to distinguish between the top and the bottom for a while.

Xiao Gan, like the wolf king in the middle of the night, was quietly waiting, he had to make a move at the most opportune time, and this battle would not only solve the Western Liao army, but also the warriors of the Western Xia Tuoba Department.

The fierce battle lasted for two days and two nights, and finally ended with the death of more than 40,000 soldiers of the Tuoba Division, and only the defeat of thousands of remnants led by Tuoba Jueqi broke through the siege.

After this battle, the Western Liao army was barely more than 30,000 left, but the military strength was almost exhausted, but at this time, the Han army killed it, the first to bear the brunt of the 30,000 Dragon Guards, followed by 20,000 infantry pressed up, and staged another melee in the small military city.

In a state of extreme exhaustion, the Western Liao army encountered a fierce Han army, and finally with less than 20,000 left, Yelu Yilie chose to surrender.

The surrender was not because of defeat, but because the Western Liao army was really unable to fight, and the soldiers had long been exhausted, and they had been tearing up with high intensity for three consecutive days.

There is no doubt that the 120,000 Han army can take turns to fight, and the Western Liao army has been fighting hard with the warriors of the Tuoba Department for two days and two nights before, in this case, how can they carry the Han army like a wolf and a tiger?

The reason why Yelu Yilie surrendered was because he didn't want the Western Liao army of the Eastern Expedition to be wiped out, and in that case, it would be difficult for him to atone for his sins even if he died. Besides, Xiao Lira, Yelupu quickly surrendered to the Han army, what is the point of holding on to it.

The most important thing is that the commander of the Han army this time is Xiao Gan, this guy is Yeluyilie's uncle, which gives Yeluyilie a glimmer of hope, which is the main reason for surrendering.

In Yelu Yilie's view, Xiao Gan's surrender to the Han State was also a last resort, as long as the time was ripe, he would definitely be willing to follow him back to Western Liao, in that case, he could also take away the 30,000 Khitan warriors under Xiao Gan, so that he could also be regarded as giving an explanation to the Western Liao court and his father.

When the military city was rectified, it was found that there were only 15,000 people left in the Western Liao army, and it was obviously unrealistic to escape in the midst of the 120,000 Han army.

Zhe Keqiu called Xiao Gan to his room, and he said straight to the point: "Yelu Yilie, as the crown prince of Western Liao, will not surrender sincerely, and staying is a scourge, but the king of Han said that you can solve this problem, so Ben Shuai is not ready to kill everything, I hope you can have a plan to solve this problem." The King of Han has always valued you, and what he promised you will definitely be fulfilled, you are destined to become the king of the Xi clan, but before that, you are still the commander of the Han Dynasty, I hope you can make the right choice. ”

"Don't worry, the old general, my sister Xiao Puxian has become a princess, and I also swear allegiance to the king of Han in the name of Changshengtian, and I will be a courtier of the Han Dynasty in the future, and I will never do anything harmful to the Han Kingdom. I can persuade Yelu Yilie to surrender, but what is the attitude of the Han king towards him, and what are the conditions for offering. ”

Zhe Keqiu himself does not belong to the Han nationality, but it does not hinder his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, he likes Xiao Gan's straightforwardness, and there is no need to beat around the bush when dealing with this kind of person. Since Xiao Gan asked, he said with a smile: "I hope that Yelu Yilie and these 15,000 Western Liao warriors will be integrated into the Longwei Army, follow the Han army to conquer Tubo and Dali, and fight against the Jin State together." After the fall of the Jin Kingdom, allow Yelu Yilie to return to Western Liao, and of course, after that, you can also find a suitable place in the northwest to establish the Xi Kingdom. You will become the vassal king of the Great Han, and of course, if the Western Liao still wants to invade the Central Plains, it will be the enemy. ”

"I know, I will definitely persuade Yelu Yilie to join the Dragon Guard Army and fight the world as part of the Han army." In Xiao Gan's opinion, Yelu Yilie had no choice, either this Western Liao crown prince was wiped out along with these fifteen thousand Khitan warriors, or he joined the Han army as a dragon guard.

The reorganization of the army began without the consent of Yelu Yilie, which Xiao Gan has long experienced, after all, the Longwei army is all Khitan warriors, Xi warriors, and it is relatively easy to reorganize the Western Liao army. Moreover, the Western Liao army had no leader, and without a choice, they gave up the confrontation and directly accepted the adaptation.

The reorganization of the armed forces was carried out in an orderly manner, and this set of reorganization procedures was carried out by Liu Zhenglong in connection with the construction of the modern army, and on the basis of iron discipline and the strong intervention of the Dragon Soul Society, the reorganization of the newly organized army was completed.

It's a pity that Yelu Yilie, who has organized all this, doesn't know that this guy is still dreaming of his Spring and Autumn Festival, and he thinks that he can convince Xiao Gan as the crown prince of Western Liao.

On the tenth night after taking the military city, Xiao Gan personally set up a banquet to entertain Yelu Yilie, and Xiao Hulira and Yelu Ma Wu were also present, and it seemed that Xiao Hulira was completely surrendered.

Yelu Yilie didn't expect that there were other people present, so he was embarrassed to speak in this case, but everyone is from Liao, and there is nothing to avoid, besides, Xiao Lili himself is the king of the Southern Courtyard of Western Liao, and everyone should definitely be able to come together.

Yelu Yilie said to Xiao Gan: "My father established the Western Liao, with millions of soldiers and a territory of thousands of miles, as long as it takes a little time, he will definitely be able to go east again, at that time, he can not only destroy the Jin State and recover the Great Liao, but also destroy the Western Xia, the Song State and this damn Han State, and when the time comes, we will reproduce the glory of the Great Liao together." ”

Xiao Lili shook his head and said: "I have already told you about the situation in Western Liao, don't brag, the total strength of Western Liao is barely 300,000, and now the 200,000 troops we brought to the Eastern Expedition are almost completely wiped out, in this case, it is a big problem for Western Liao to protect itself now, even if His Majesty is wise and martial to ensure that Western Liao is safe, but it is almost impossible to go to the East again." Accept the reality, the question of life and death is the most important, and everything else is illusory. ”

"You, you." Yelu Yilie didn't expect Xiao Lili to betray so quickly, he looked at this Xiao Gan stupidly and said, "My fifteen-thousand-strong army won't be strangled by you, right?" ”

"Of course not, if you want to strangle, there is no need to accept surrender." Xiao Gan took a drink from the wine glass and said, "We are all Liao people, and we are all people of the Immortal Heaven, how can we kill each other?" Now, for us, survival is the most important thing. You can't go back for a short time, you can only go back if you stay and fight side by side, and only after you destroy the Jin Kingdom, even if you go back, you don't want to regroup and come to the Jin Kingdom for revenge, in this case, why don't you stay and join the Dragon Guard Army and fight against the Jin Kingdom? ”

"No, how can I serve the Han army? I'm going back to Xiliao. ”

"It's impossible, your sister Yelupu has entered the Han Palace's palace as a princess." Speaking of this, Xiao Gan paused and said, "Aren't you just afraid that it will affect your succession to the throne, the King of Han has already made a promise that he will never stop you after destroying the Jin Kingdom." And after Xiao Lira returns, he will do his best to help you inherit the throne. Now that you have sent someone to Xiliao to inform the Western Liao Emperor Yelu Dashi, what is the point of you going back at this time. If you can't go back with the soldiers, it's hard for you to go back alive if you're alone. ”

In order to convince Yelu Yilie, this time Xiao Gan unreservedly talked about his cognition of the King of Han and the Han Kingdom, and finally he said: "You led an army of 200,000 to be defeated by the 100,000 army of the Jin State, and the Jin State now has an army of 500,000 people, and it is simply impossible to defeat the Jin State with the strength of Western Liao." If you are still a citizen of the Immortal Heaven, or a warrior of the Liao Kingdom, and you want to take revenge and destroy the Jin Kingdom, stay and we will fight side by side. If you're a coward, then get out of here. The king told you that the 15,000 Western Liao soldiers had already been reorganized, and they would not be able to return 100 percent. ”

Regarding the reorganization, Yelu Mawu talked a lot, and finally said: "In the Han army, every soldier is loyal to the king of Han and does not belong to the commander, you can't take the army away at all, you still have to think clearly before making a decision." ”

Can't take the army away, Yelu Yilie obviously doesn't believe this, but now he also knows that the situation is stronger than people, if he wants to leave forcibly at this time, it is obviously difficult to leave alive, so he can only stay for the time being, and then find a way.

Xiao Gan didn't expect to be able to recruit Yelu Yilie in a short time, as long as this guy was not very stupid to escape, anyway, there was enough time for this guy to die for the King of Han.

He didn't have the heart to care whether Yelu Yilie would obediently serve the King of Han, what he had to consider was to eradicate the Tuoba Department as soon as possible, Fei Ting's clan, Pochao's clan, and Wuzang's clan, as long as a few tribes were eliminated, then Western Xia would be completely stabilized.

This time it was divided into two fronts, the east and the west, and the eastern front was very simple, and there was no combat mission at all, on the one hand, it was to suppress the opponents within the Western Xia, and on the other hand, it was to prepare for the southward attack on Dali. And on the Western Front, that is, Zhe Keqiu is in charge of this army, the task is heavy, and it is necessary to completely exterminate these tribes that oppose the Queen Mother.

How should we fight next? Zhe Keqiu called Xiao Gan over, and he said straight to the point: "Among the forces of Western Xia against the Empress Yelu Nanxian, the most powerful is the Tuoba Department, and now among the 110,000 troops of the Tuoba Department, there are more than 10,000 points left, as long as it is annihilated, then the overall situation can be determined, and there is no need to worry about the rest of the matter." We must destroy Dali before the Jin Kingdom destroys the Song. So we can't delay the next step for too long. ”

"Yes, after we take advantage of the road to destroy Dali, when the army returns to the division, we will take Chengdu Fu Road and Kuizhou Road by the way, so that the entire northwest and southwest will be under the control of our Han Dynasty, and we will have the strength to fight to the death with the Jin State."

Xiao Gan is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, nor is he a person who is greedy for glory and wealth, the reason why he chose to take refuge in the King of Han is to avenge the destruction of the Jin Kingdom. And in the whole world, the only one who can be destroyed is the King of Han, which is the reason for his loyalty. Facts have also proved that the Jin State has lost several battles, lost troops and lost generals, and even Wanyan Zongqi, the eldest son of the Emperor Wanyan Wu begging of the Jin State, and Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of the Western Route Army, have been captured.

As for the Western Liao army, it was a joke in Xiao Gan's opinion, the 200,000 army was defeated by the 100,000 Jin army, the Western Liao army lost more than 130,000, and the Jin army lost a little more than 10,000. If this is replaced by 200,000 Han troops against 100,000 Jin troops, the Jin army will definitely be wiped out, this is the gap. Moreover, Western Liao is not far from the Jin State, and it takes a year and a half to go on an expedition, and it is a joke to destroy the Jin State and avenge the Liao State.

He didn't plan to go around in circles, he said with a smile: "Now the King of Han means to control the Western Xia and let the Western Xia cavalry conquer Tibet." And when we went south to conquer Dali, the soldiers were divided into two roads, as long as we entered Chengdu Fu Road, Kuizhou Road will no longer go south, we must gradually take down local officials, try not to use force, and Dali will be handed over to them, this time the commander of the second army is in charge of Dali affairs. And our First Army is the main force to counterattack the Jin State, so the southwest Shu should not use force as much as possible. Let's divide the labor between the two of us, you destroy the Tuoba Tribe, and the other three tribes will be handed over to our First Legion, and we will meet in Xingqing Mansion. ”

"Okay, then let's go down and solve the Tuoba Department, this is the largest tribe in Western Xia, as long as it is exterminated, the entire Western Xia will be much more honest."

Xiao Gan is a natural war maniac, this guy has no time to tame Yelu Yilie, after all, it can't be done overnight, this guy set off the next day after reorganizing the troops, after all, this battle will be solved as soon as possible, after all, you can't always use the Han King Cavalry, you must know that as long as the task of this heavy armored cavalry is to protect the Han King, it is impossible to go with the team all the time, this may be the last battle before the duel against the Jin Army, so make full use of it.

The tribe of the Tuoba Department was large, but a semi-open place, with a vast territory and a high terrain, which was very suitable for cavalry attacks. For the warriors of the Han army and the Tuoba Department, it is good to be suitable for cavalry attacks, and the two sides can fight a real battle.

There is a fatal flaw in the open style of play, that is, the casualties are very large, and it is difficult to annihilate them all, which will create a problem for Xiao Gan in this case, not only to completely annihilate the Tuoba warriors, but also not to cause too many casualties, this is indeed difficult, but Xiao Gan already has an idea.

The entire territory of the Tuoba tribe is like a huge basin, that is, the terrain in the west is relatively flat, while the north is a river, the south is a small hill, and the east is where the Tuoba warriors gather. If you really want to wipe it out, the difficulty factor is very large.
