Four or five miles away, Li Qi, who was immediately watching the battle on the hillside behind, could not see the battle situation in front clearly, and saw that tens of thousands of cavalry in front were mixed together in chaos, and he could not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy.

The cavalry of the Xi Department was several times larger, and they had already surrounded the Jinyang Cavalry Corps, and they could only see the banner of the vanguard general Yuan Ren rushing left and right in the enemy formation. However, the two cavalry units in the formation on the flanks of the Tang army did not dare to come out lightly, and they needed to keep an eye on the two wings of the Khitan army formation.

Fortunately, the Jinyang cavalry even wore horse armor, and Yuan Ren led his troops to fight hard in the enemy formation, fighting hard for a long time, and rushing back and forth to kill as many as four times. Gradually, the Xi army was a little unbearable, and some troops began to slowly retreat.

"Rush!" Yuan Xingqin, who was in front of Li Qi, saw the Khitan army retreating, suddenly shouted, and led his troops to charge first, and Li Qi's side had no choice but to charge from the other side.

The war drums of the Tang army sounded, the horn of the charge was harmonious, and the 7,000 Jinyang Janissary cavalry of the Tang Army led by Li Qi personally swept towards the Khitan army like a torrent of breaking the embankment.

Xi Jun, who had already lost his fighting spirit, saw the Tang army's fresh force rushing out, turned around and began to flee in defeat.

The cavalry on Li Qi's side suddenly began to release arrows, and under the rain of arrows like flying locusts, the Xi army that fled was also dizzy, and actually fled directly towards the Khitan army where Yelu Lihu was located. As the Chinese army, Li Qi's pro-army joined forces and pursued them with all his strength behind him, but the Xi army, which had fled, panicked and directly rushed the main formation of the Khitan army.

Seeing this, the Khitan army's flank cavalry hurriedly stepped forward to intercept it.

"Shi Kang, gunpowder bomb!" Seeing this, Li Qi shouted.

Shi Kang, who was guarding Li Qi's side, smiled when he heard this, and gently bumped the yellow horse that was sitting down, and the yellow horse neighed and rushed towards the left flank of the Khitan army with more than 100 pro-troops.

The cavalry under Li Qi's command charged very differently from the general cavalry charge of the Jin army, first firing a volley of bows and arrows, and then throwing a wave of gunpowder shells into the opposing cavalry before launching a real charge.

Shi Dang led more than 150 pro-cavalry, each carrying a ball-shaped leather bag in his hand, and Yuan Ren, who had already seen gunpowder bullets, Fu Yanqing, An Xianqi and other pro-army generals subconsciously slowed down their horses.

More than 20,000 Khitan cavalry troops were blocking in front of the Yunzhou cavalry, but they saw a wave of arrows raining down, and the sharp armor-piercing cone immediately caused great damage to the Khitan cavalry who did not have many people wearing armor. Later, the Khitans, who were adjusting their formation, found that more than 100 black and sparkling leather balls were dragging a short rope from the sky......

Rumble! Boom! Rumble......

The gunpowder shell exploded in the Khitan cavalry formation, and suddenly the fire shone brightly, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

Although the lethality of this thing is not great, but where have the Khitan war horses seen this scene, after a burst of earth-shattering sounds, the frightened and out-of-control war horses are scurrying around. There were still many soldiers who thought that it was the wrath of the gods, and sent down thunder, and even jumped off the horse, prostrate on the ground, and kept kowtowing, and the entire Khitan cavalry formation was suddenly in chaos......

Yuan Ren, who was reorganizing the team, was willing to let go of such a good fighter, rose up bravely, and led the Jinyang cavalry to take advantage of the situation to enter, and the Khitan army was suddenly in chaos and began to scatter and flee.

The Khitan Chinese army was also scattered by the fleeing cavalry, and the Tang army on the flank also began to charge, and the Tang cavalry was like three arrows, breaking straight into the Khitan cavalry formation, and the Khitan army was instantly defeated on the whole line.

Yelu Lihu could no longer stop the rout of the whole army, and he had no choice but to flee frantically to the northeast under the protection of Yelu Keli and his pro-army.

The grassland people are like scattered sand, and if they are defeated and retreated, they will be defeated like a mountain, scattering and fleeing. By the time Yelu Lihu's home formation was also carried by the rout and fled backwards, the defeat of the Khitan army was inevitable, even if Yelu Keli and Xiao Hu were both famous generals for a while, it was impossible to reverse the rout. The Tang army chased and killed in four directions behind, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

After Li Qi broke through the enemy formation, he was also in a trance, so he won?!

Yuan Xingqin saw that the enemy army had been defeated, so he ordered the cavalry army to divide into eight groups, and under the leadership of the commanders of each unit, they pursued and intercepted the enemy separately, so as not to give the enemy a chance to adjust and collect the remnants. After that, he came to Li Qi's side and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, now that the enemy army is in a big defeat, it is a good time to take the dam completely!" ”

An Jinquan also smiled: "Li Hu is defeated, at least he has to flee to Modong to regroup!" ”

Li Qi squinted his eyes at the battlefield full of corpses and said: "I hope that this battle can ensure the peace of the northern border for five or six years, and my imperial hegemony is destined to step on the bones of the Khitans." ”

Between the undulating mountains, the autumn wind was cold, and the wounded war horses let out bursts of sorrow, and they were slaughtered.

The Tang army reorganized a little and continued to advance eastward, and wherever the army went, the Khitan army fled in despair, and on the fifth day it had arrived at Yangchengluo in the upper reaches of the Luan River, and then stopped the pace of pursuit.

In this battle, Li Qiqin led the Tang army to defeat more than 100,000 Khitan expeditions led by Yelu Li Hu, beheaded more than 10,000 people, captured more than 20,000 enemies, and captured nearly 20,000 war horses. More importantly, most of the 10,000 dairy cows and more than 100,000 sheep that followed Li Hu's army as supplies and food were captured by Li Cunshuo and Li Sifeng, which caused heavy losses to the Khitan side.

Li Qi did not return to the division, but ordered the army to be stationed in the upper reaches of the river and began to build a military city on the banks of the river.

He was waiting for Jerod's light to come.

After Yelu Deguang received the news of Yelu Lihu's defeat, he was overjoyed and angry.

The good thing is that Li Hu is extremely favored by the Empress Dowager Shulu, and before he forced Yelu Deguang to crown him as the emperor's younger brother and generalissimo of soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to designating the identity of Li Hu's heir to the throne. Although it is a tradition to say that the brother on the grassland dies and the brother, Li Hu is rude and cruel by nature, which finally makes Yelu Deguang feel a little unhappy.

But there is no way, he can replace his eldest brother Yelu Bei to ascend the throne by relying on the full support of the Empress Dowager Shulu, and now that his power has just been stabilized, he can't disobey his mother's request, so he can only reluctantly crown Li Hu as the emperor's younger brother. This time, Li Hu was defeated in Fengzhou, and Yelu Deguang took the opportunity to dismiss him as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, which was regarded as a punishment.

After disposing of Li Hu, Yelu Deguang began to transfer troops and prepare for a big battle with the Tang army.

When the Empress Dowager Shulu heard that Yelu Deguang wanted to raise troops to attack the Southern Dynasty, she persuaded him: "Back then, Taizu did not listen to my persuasion and insisted on raising troops to the south, but he was defeated at the hands of the King of Jin, which made the world laugh in vain. And now the Tang lord has the legacy of two generations of Jin kings, and every time he fights, he is also very brave. I heard Li Hu say that the Tang army can send a thunderbolt, the sound is like thunder, and when the two armies face each other, everyone is shocked, and the army is in chaos, and I don't know how to deal with it. At this time, the morale of the other party is high, and the king should negotiate peace with him first, accumulate strength, and stand by to act. ”

When the general of the expedition to the west, Keli and the king of Xibu, Xiao Wei, naturally exaggerated the combat strength of the Tang army, Yelu Deguang was a little hesitant, and nodded and agreed after listening to the advice of the Empress Dowager Shulu: "I heard that the Southern Dynasty is in civil strife, and they need to wait for their own fight to find an opportunity, mother rest assured, I will order someone to negotiate peace with it!" ”
