The sudden and astonishing changes in the rear made the Song army's pursuit come to an abrupt halt, and many people couldn't help but look back, after seeing that their own military camp was washed away by this flood, those soldiers who followed Sun Tu out of the camp were even more afraid, and at the same time began to retreat in confusion.

Of course, what I am afraid of is that if I don't believe in General Sun's prestige and fight out of the camp with him, I am afraid that I will fall into this big water. Even if he can struggle to escape to a high place, if the military camp is destroyed, if there is another Liao army to take advantage of the situation to kill, I am afraid that it will be completely over, right?

But at the same time, fear has regained in the hearts of many people. No matter which army it is, the Chinese army battalion and the commander have a reassuring role in their hearts, even if these Song troops have come out at the behest of Sun Tu, they are still concerned about the rear battalion. Now that the camp has been destroyed, Tong Guan and other generals do not know whether they are alive or dead, the blow to them is naturally extremely huge, so huge that Sun Tu's influence has been weakened to the extreme.

Some people are stuck, some are looking around, and some are secretly shrinking back...... In the end, the soldiers of the Song army have been too aggrieved for a hundred years, they do not have all the courage of the proud soldiers and fierce generals who swept through the northern and Western Regions in the Han and Tang dynasties, Sun Tu can encourage them once, but if he wants to boost the morale of the army in such a big change, let them continue to pursue and kill the Liao army regardless of the rear, I am afraid it is impossible.

Sun Tu, who was at the forefront of the team, also clearly felt this after looking back, and this time he couldn't do anything, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly. If the Western Army can still maintain a certain combat strength, maybe he can still fight, but it is obvious that the Western Army at this moment has also reached the end of the strong crossbow, and it is the limit to be able to rush with the reinforcements for a while, and it is difficult for a strong man to rely on tens of thousands of tired soldiers to expand the results of the battle.

This can be determined by only the two elders of the seed family who shook their heads with a wry smile not far away, and the cavalry of the Western Army who quickly came back from the front. The planter said that they are the best at using soldiers, if there is an opportunity, how can they not fight? But sometimes when the manpower is exhausted, it is really impossible to force it.

Thinking of this, Sun Tuce immediately stepped forward and came to the side of the second elder of the family: "I have seen the two old generals. This is the first time he and the two of them have spoken today.

The second elder then looked at it, and the bitterness and shame on his face became more and more serious: "Qianli, this time you really have to lead the army to rescue, otherwise I am afraid that the soldiers of our Western Army will ......."

"But I'm ashamed, the soldiers have been fighting all day, and they are already tired, I'm afraid they can't fight anymore......" The seed master directly said the current problem, although the seed master did not speak, but the look on his face has said everything.

"The rear camp has been attacked, and our army is already unstable, and I am afraid that we will really stop and retreat." Sun Tu also sighed lightly: "After all, it was a bad move, but I didn't expect the Liao people to have such an arrangement, so that it fell short!" He was indeed quite annoyed, he finally seized power in the army at all costs, and thought that he could fight down, but there were still such mistakes and changes.

"It is up to man to do things, and things are done in heaven, and now things can only be done here." The seed master said a word of comfort seemingly.

"Qianli don't have to be too frustrated, we are not only ashamed of this battle, but also have the opportunity to win, the casualties of the Liao army are not under us, it is considered to have completed the set goal, and it is not a shame to retreat at this time

No gains. The seed master also persuaded earnestly, he was really afraid that Sun Tu would continue to pursue regardless of the order because of his youth and vigor.

In fact, Sun Tu was already clear about the current situation, and he would not be too forceful, so he nodded immediately: "Then retreat, let our army be behind, and the western army will go first!" "Compared with the Western Army, which fought all day, was exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, the Northern Army, which had just entered the battle, and the situation of the Song Army was much better.

The two veteran generals did not give in too much to this proposal, and immediately nodded in response, and as one order after another was given, the flag was waved, and the western army had quickly retreated to the rear.

As for those soldiers of the Northern Army, although they looked a little hesitant, they didn't dare to mess around before they got the military order. Moreover, the Liao army was still retreating, and seeing that they no longer dared to go up, they naturally put their minds at ease, and it was not until the western army had retreated a few miles away that Sun Tu ordered them to slowly retreat towards the rear.

The retreat of the Song army naturally fell completely into the eyes of Yelu Dashi and the others in the Liao army camp in front, which made the two of them even more annoyed in their hearts. Because this time, they really missed a big victory, only from the reaction of the Song army after the barracks was attacked by the flood, you can know that if you can seize this opportunity, your own family will be able to win a big victory, even if you can't completely annihilate the Song army, drive them out of dozens of miles, or even let them retreat to Yanmen Pass, it is very likely that they will not be able to retreat.

But now, he gave up halfway, not only failed to take the opportunity to win, but his own casualties were also extremely serious. It can be said that from a strategic point of view, Yelu Dashi's entire plan has completely failed. This made him slam his fist against the wall in annoyance, hateful: "It's just a little bit, if the big water could have attacked the Song camp earlier, this battle would not be the result now!" ”

"Dashi doesn't have to be like this, at least we won't lose this battle, if it weren't for your plan, it would really be irreparable." Jeruchonge hurriedly spoke of relief. What he said was indeed sincere, as long as he thought about the previous changes, he was afraid for a while.

"The king does not need to comfort me like this, for this battle was not completely lost, but it was still lost. After this battle, the situation between the enemy and us has been reversed, and the initiative has been fully attributed to them, which is the result of my miscalculation, so if the court wants to blame, I will bear the freedom! Yelu Dashi immediately took the initiative to take responsibility.

'No, you've done your best, it's my responsibility as a manager. If we had launched an offensive earlier and had taken the initiative into our hands, this battle would not have been what it is today. ”

After the two said this, they couldn't convince each other in the end, so they could only put the matter aside for the time being and go to the barracks to welcome their soldiers back first.

This battle was indeed a heavy casualty for the Liao army. The battle with the Western Army alone had cost them extremely heavy price, and the arrival of Song reinforcements made them retreat in a hurry, adding countless casualties along the way.

Especially Ye Luchen, his face was full of guilt, and when he saw the two main generals, he dismounted and knelt on the ground: "The last general will be unfavorable in battle, resulting in a big defeat and returning, and he is willing to be punished." ”

Yelu Xiongge immediately stepped forward and helped him up: "You don't have to be like this, if you really want to be wrong, it's also my boss, you and your soldiers have done their best, and I and Da Shi Linya are all watching."

. ”

Yelu Dashi also perked up at this time, looked at the dejected soldiers in front of him and said loudly: "Your previous performance, the king and I have seen it, you have been loyal to the country, and there is no sin. And we didn't really lose this battle, now that the Song army camp has been destroyed, the casualties will only be above me, and there will be a big war next, and we still have a chance to win! This official believes that as long as our Daliao soldiers are united, the final victory will definitely belong to us! ”

Even though he was annoyed in his heart and was still blaming himself just now, Yelu Dashi was extremely confident at this moment, and did his best to cheer up the soldiers. Yelu Xiongge also understood what he meant, and immediately spoke, and Haosheng comforted everyone, which saved the morale that was about to fall to the bottom.

It wasn't until the soldiers entered the camp and several of their important generals also returned to the Chinese military tent that a few people's faces showed a little uneasiness and doubt: "Yeluchen, the key to this battle is that there are suddenly reinforcements in the Song army's Chinese army stockade, do you see any clues about this?" Also, who is the general who led the army? Jerodashi quickly asked what he was most concerned about.

Ye Luchen's heart moved, and he hurriedly replied: "The last general of this matter is also deeply puzzled, because as far as it was judged before, the main force of the Song army did not dare to act rashly, and the same is true when the battle is fought until dark. But suddenly, the Song army was killed, and there were not many rules in that queue, as if those Song soldiers spontaneously decided to send troops, rather than Tong Guan, the commander of the Song army, who had made arrangements in advance. As he spoke, he recalled the changes in the previous war, and the more he spoke, the more doubts in his heart grew.

There are indeed too many strange things about this matter, and after thinking about it carefully, Ye Luchen said even more strangely: "As for the flags, although there are many, I haven't seen anything that is the banner of the main generals in the Song army......"

"Is that so?" Yelu Dashi couldn't help but get up and paced, and there were words in his mouth: "With my understanding of the Song army, they almost don't have such courage." Since this was not at the behest of Tong Guan, how could it have happened? Was it a sudden mutiny in the Song military camp? ”

"Mutiny? Just in front of the two armies? Jeruchonge couldn't believe his ears.

It was Ye Luchen, but after hearing this, he was a little moved: "It is possible, the last general has seen the Song army camp, and before they sent troops to kill, there really seemed to be some abnormal movements." It's just that it's far away, so I can't see it......"

"The problem must be that in this chaos, someone in the Song army saw the mystery of the war, so they launched a mutiny at all costs, and then led the troops to kill, breaking my whole plan!" Yelu Dashi gritted his teeth and said: "I really can't imagine that now, there is such a person in the Song army, what kind of person will he be!" ”

Speaking of this, his heart suddenly moved, and someone's name had surfaced: "Could it be this person who has ruined my overall situation?" Sun Tu ......, "He still remembers that Sun Tu was mentioned in the letter from Xiao Yanping's flying pigeon, and he had come to the front line, but such a new guy in the army can really have such courage and ability to make a mutiny in battle?"

But in any case, this is an idea, and it is more likely to be an entry point to solve the current dilemma. Thinking of this, Jerodashi has regained his composure, and it seems that it is time to do some temptation!
