"Let's go." Zhao Xingde looked back at the fireworks in the sky and patted Ma Yuan's shoulder.

In order to cover people's eyes, after the Chinese military account fell out, the generals of the Baoyi Army led their troops to scatter, and there were only a few entourages left around Zhao Xingde. Although he didn't suffer much, he was under the surveillance of the Zhenguo Army all day long. Yue Fei had to urge his subordinates to fight hard with the Liao army, and also arrange a retreat, so he didn't have time to pay attention to this "prisoner". Zhao Xingde was nothing, and several of his entourage were indignant. In their eyes, this attitude of ignoring and ignoring is in itself an extreme contempt for the general, and a contempt for the entire Baoyi army's more than 20,000 people.

"Zhao Shuai," Ma Yuan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "In the opinion of the last general, Yue Shumi was mistaken by the villain. ”

Ma Yuan's gaze fell not far away, and in the smoke, the figure of the horse was faintly visible. Zhang Xian stared at the burning camp, and was confirming that all the heavy grain and grass that could not be taken away had been burned, leaving nothing for the Liao army. In the fireworks, his handsome side face looked very cold, he held a steel gun in his hand, and seemed to feel Zhao Xingde's gaze, and glanced at this side, although Zhang Xian was one of the few people who understood the inside story, but there may not be any kindness in this gaze.

"What a villain is mistaken, a scholar's opinion!" Wang Chongyi said indignantly, "It's clear that he is jealous of the virtuous and arrogant. He glared at Ma Yuan, and whispered with some emotion, "I have seen a lot of such things, Lao Wang." After Wang Chongyi sent the letter, Zhao Xingde left him with good wine and meat, because Zhou He did not ask him to return quickly, and Wang Chongyi did not rush to go. Zhao Xingde is a general in the court, take this opportunity to ask for some friendship, and the court will prosper in the future, which will naturally have a lot of benefits. Among them, Wang Chongyi, who is in the Imperial City Division, is very familiar. The clinker Zhao Xingde was suddenly detained by Yue Fei, and then there was a mutiny, Wang Chongyi was taken as Zhao Xingde's entourage by a general of the Baoyi Army who was as ruthless as a robber, and sent to the Zhenguo Army barracks to serve the general.

"Privy Yue is very well entertained, and I have nothing to dissatisfaction with." Zhao Xingde smiled slightly, and said to the two of them: "Get on the horse" He stood up, turned the saddle and got on the horse, this line of five horsemen slowly went west with the retreating brigade of the Zhenguo Army, and there was a low chant Oh, "A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, living in the alleys, and not changing its pleasure when I go back......"

At this time, Zhang Xiancai turned his face and looked at the backs of Zhao Xingde and the others, his eyes were a little complicated. In the past few days, Zhang Xian has been paying attention to Zhao Xingde's movements, if it weren't for Zhang Xian's deep knowledge of the inside story, he would really think that this surnamed Zhao is a quiet and far-reaching person. Looking at the high hill not far away, the marshal who was stationed on the horse waiting for the troops to withdraw, Zhang Xian's eyes were slightly dim, and he sighed knowingly, and gently urged the horse to go uphill.

"The people in the neighborhood have been persuaded to leave?" Yue Fei turned his head, his face a little heavy. The Zhenguo army not only had to evacuate the people in the prefectures, counties, and villages along the way, but also burned down all the houses and left the rotting human and animal carcasses in the wells along the way, making it difficult for the Liao army to pursue them. And all this is just to deceive the Liao army, so that the Liao army believes it is true, thinking that the Zhenguo army is unbearable to fight again.

Zhang Xian nodded: "The people and animals have been pulled away, and the house has been burned." ”

Yue Fei sighed and said, "After this battle, the people's power in this area of Jinghu is almost exhausted. ”

"It's better than leaving it to the Liao thief, once the Liao thief passes, not only the house, but also his life." Zhang Xian shook his head and said, even though he was very afraid, many people were still reluctant to leave their homes. It's really evil, Zhao Xingde's gentle smile suddenly appeared in Zhang Xian's mind, he is the real initiator.

"After this battle, Jianghuai will soon be pacified," Yue Fei's tone was a little strange, and he said slowly, "I will definitely write to the imperial court, reduce the exemption of Tian Fuke, abolish the evil law of collecting money, rest with the people, and let the places in this area that have suffered from military disasters recover quickly." The world is full of waste, and the corrupt officials will definitely profit from it, and there are many so-called civil officials and doctors who are reluctant to do so. As long as the military generals do not hesitate to die, and the civil officials do not love money, the world will be peaceful. He paused for a moment and said with great interest, "I hope that Chen Xianggong and Zhao Xianggong can rectify the rule of officials and give the people of the Great Song Dynasty a peaceful world." ”

"Xian is just a pawn in front of the horse, and he only wants to follow the commander in his life." Zhang Xian's face was awe-inspiring and said, "I don't hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire." ”

More than a dozen generals and soldiers next to him also shouted: "Go to the soup and fight the fire, don't give up!" ”

Seeing that his subordinates were so impassioned, Yue Fei paused slightly, and his expression turned from depressed to peaceful, he was noncommittal, and said to the generals: "Brother Tiemu's men and horses are the most ferocious of the Liao thieves, and they have killed many of the people of my Great Song Dynasty. You will fight this battle first, and then cast the Beijing View with the head of Hulu, and comfort me with the spirit of the people of the Great Song Dynasty in the sky. ”

The Liao soldiers and horses were fast, and the Song army usually rode on foot, even if it was a big victory, there were not many heads. In the bloody battle in front, counting the results, a total of more than 7,000 Liao thieves were killed. Among them, there are more than 600 leaders with silver earrings and dozens of leaders with gold earrings. Therefore, Yue Fei specially ordered the Liao thief's head to be built into a Jingguan. When the troops withdrew, this Jingguan attracted the attention of many Song soldiers, as if to silently remind them who was the victor. Usually, the soldiers were stationed in their respective camps, and it was not until the withdrawal of troops that they were able to see the appearance of this Jingguan.

"Obediently-" Ma Quan smacked his lips, he turned back to the carriage and said, "Yan Dutou, look at it quickly." ”

Yan Xi's face was pale, and he and several wounded soldiers looked out of the window, their eyes were full of all kinds of dead faces, and they wanted to gag. In the battle the day before yesterday, the Zhenguo army won a great victory, but it was also extremely damaged. Yan Xi broke several ribs and couldn't walk for a while. Fortunately, the commander asked the rear army for a carriage and carried the wounded soldiers of the battalion together. Retreat with the wounded, this is also approved by the Privy Council, if not, I am afraid that the army will be depressed, and there will be no one to use their lives in the future.

The fire set off by the Song army burned all night until noon the next day, when it was filled with the roar of thunder and explosions, and the drizzling rain extinguished it. After the huge fire was extinguished, the Liao army was able to cross the fire, and at this time, the camp was all burned down, but this Jingguan was well preserved, with layers of heads and various expressions, as if facing Brother Temu and Xiao Xiangsheng as if mocking.

"Nanban, deceive people too much!" Temugo's eyes cracked.

Xiao Xiangsheng was indifferent, because most of the people killed in this battle were the Zahu tribes who were attached to the Khitan. In his mind, the status of these miscellaneous beards is only a line higher than that of the southerners. And the various departments under Brother Temu's command hated it so much that they swore to the sky that they would never stop until they killed the Zhenguo army. Under the turbulence of the crowd, Tiemu Ge ordered the infantry soldiers to speed up the repair of roads and transport grain and grass, and personally led more than 25,000 cavalry to chase after the defeated Zhenguo army.

Because the Baoyi army first made preparations on the roads and grain and grass, the Zhenguo army retreated westward while destroying the roads of the villages and communities along the way, and the speed was also extremely fast. However, the march was extremely arduous, the roads were muddy, and the corpses of people and animals who had fallen by the roads could be seen everywhere. The retreat in front of the enemy is a test for the Zhenguo army, if it is a slightly loose battalion, it will have already scattered and collapsed. On the way to retreat, there was chaos and a large number of flights, and Wang Guilian, the commander of the former army, beheaded more than 200 people, and hung his head on both sides of the road to show the public, so as to stabilize the morale of the army. The Liao cavalry pursued closely, and Zhang Xiansuo led the cavalry to fight and retreat, and after several days of hard fighting, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and they all insisted on it with a will.

"Commander Zhang, there are more than 1,000 cavalry soldiers who are closely embellished with the white envoys."

Zhang Xian nodded, his face was covered with dust and sweat, and he looked back at the more than three hundred riders behind him. The north side of the road is steep and the south side is a small hill, and on the opposite side of the hill is a mighty river. Zhang Xian thought for a moment, pointed to the small mountain and said: "The Liao thieves chased after the white envoy, and the place where the march passed cannot be carefully checked, so we will ambush for the time being, waiting for the enemy to ride." ”

The generals had no objection, so more than 300 horsemen turned to the hill. The woods were low and the thatched grass was deep, but fortunately the horses were well-behaved and docile, and they knelt in the grass, and the hands of the horsemen grasped the halters of the horses, in case suddenly the mounts stood up or neighed loudly, disturbing the enemy. Zhang Xian's eyes were like electricity, staring in the direction of the east side of the road, and after about a stick of incense, there was a chaotic and dense sound of horses' hooves. The first hundred or so horsemen were the color of the military robes of the Zhenguo Army, but after many days of fierce fighting, the red robes had already been dyed gray. The cavalry of the Tabai battalion is also known as the Tabai envoy in the Zhenguo Army, and it is not ironclad and light, but it is a scout in the army.

Yang Zaixing lay on the horse, running all the way, and there was no space to wrap his wounds, and the blood was almost dry. He led the white battalion to stick to the front of the Liao soldiers, and today he was accidentally entangled by a Liao army light cavalry. After falling into a fierce battle, more than 100 horsemen rushed desperately to kill before they broke out of the encirclement and ran towards the east. The cavalry of the White Battalion were all wounded, and they fled all the way here, and it was already the end of the crossbow. The Liao soldiers who were chasing after the Tabai camp were also sleepy and lacking, but they were outnumbered and had the upper hand, so they were not as embarrassed as the Song army.

"I'm going to capture that red-robed general." Yelu, the general of the Northern Courtyard, also stared at the Song general first.

In the past few days, the Tabai battalion has been cruising around the front of the Liao army like maggots on tarsal bones, and the blocking horses sent out to the front have either not been heard from or their bodies have been found. Xiao Xiangsheng, the deputy commander of the Liao army, was greatly honored. Yelu also set a trap first, surrounded this group of Song army scouts, and actually killed this red-robed general with all his might, not to mention a slap in the face of Yelu Yexian, if he was not captured, Yelu was only afraid that his prestige in the military camp would be greatly reduced.

With the ups and downs of the war horse, the arrows on Yang Zaixing's body kept shaking, like a trembling hedgehog. This Song general was hit by at least a dozen arrows, and he could escape so far, Yelu couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, but the more fierce and cunning the prey, the greater the hunter's interest. The wolf's greatest weapon is not his teeth and claws, but his patience.
