Chapter 751: Bloody Battle Camp State (4) (4th Update)
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
A strange drum sounded coming, and the Khitan soldiers who were still fighting fiercely with the Tang Army were puzzled when they heard this drum sound, why did they suddenly order the troops to be withdrawn when they were about to capture Yingzhou?
But the drums kept sounding, and the Khitan soldiers on the battlefield stopped their movements one after another.
"Retreat, retreat!"
I don't know who shouted, and then the order to retreat spread throughout the battlefield. Then under the stunned faces of the defenders in the city, tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers retreated one after another, and the Khitan soldiers who had already attacked the city wall and inside the city also quickly withdrew outside the city.
Although they don't understand why they are retreating, but the drums of retreat keep beating, then they have to listen.
"What's going on? Why did the Khitans withdraw? ”
Discussions came from inside the city of Yingzhou, but no soldiers pursued them, because they were exhausted from the multi-day battle.
It's good to beat the water dogs, but the Khitans at this time are not water dogs, and they can't beat them.
"Why did the Khitans retreat?" Gao Sixiang, covered in blood, ran over and looked at the retreating Khitan army with some puzzlement.
"I don't know!" Gao Siji shook his head, not understanding what was going on.
But one thing is for sure, they've gotten through the worst of the hardships.
But no one could cheer, because the losses were too bad.
Most of the soldiers and horses in Yingzhou were lost, and the people were killed and wounded, and even the Yingzhou Assassin was killed near the city gate.
The assassin was killed in battle, and the soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties, who can be happy?
It was not until the evening of the same day, after 10,000 Tang Army cavalry arrived outside Yingzhou City, that the whole city of Yingzhou knew why the Khitan army had withdrawn, and it turned out that reinforcements were coming.
Subsequently, Gao Siji and others also learned that Li Hong led an army of 90,000 to defeat the 40,000 Khitan cavalry in Pingzhou, and captured the commander of the 40,000 Khitan cavalry, --- Yelu Huolu.
Only then did they know the real reason for the Khitan retreat.
It turned out that the 40,000 Khitan army was defeated, no wonder the Khitan army outside Yingzhou City was in such a hurry to retreat.
With the retreat of the Khitan army and the arrival of reinforcements, the crisis in Yingzhou was lifted, but the reconstruction was also a headache, and many people were taken captive by the Khitans.
But the war is not over!
The army led by Li Hong was unable to pursue the retreating Khitan army because of the lack of cavalry, but Li Cunxiao's army had been waiting for a long time for the Khitan army to retreat.
Whether the Khitan is victorious or defeated, Li Cunxiao's cavalry will be waiting for them on the way to the retreat of the Khitan army.
。。。。。。
To the east of Yingzhou, Yelu Abaoji led 60,000 remnants of soldiers to escort the property and prisoners looted a few days ago and retreated towards the Khitan base camp.
Although the gains were still great, the morale of the entire marching team was not high.
Before this battle, they had an army of more than 100,000 people, but now only 60,000 remain. The more than 40,000 people were lost in Yingzhou and Pingzhou, and even Yelu Hulu was captured by the Tang army.
After Yelu Abaoji ordered a retreat, he quickly gathered the defeated army in Pingzhou, including Li Siyuan's troops.
However, Li Siyuan's department suffered the least loss, which also made some people in the Diera department a little dissatisfied, such as Yelu Tingge, who felt that Li Siyuan was deliberate.
And the reason is that Yelu Haolu ordered to kill Meng Zhixiang's wife and daughter before, and this matter was quite big, but fortunately, Shulu's family made a deal in the middle, so there was no trouble.
Although what Yelu Tingge said may have some truth, Yelu Abaoji does not want to be held accountable at this time.
He also listened to the narration of Yelu Holu's personal guards, and roughly guessed that Yelu Holu might have fallen for the tricks of the Tang army and the ambush because of a dispute with Li Siyuan, and did not listen to Li Siyuan's advice.
Therefore, when it was investigated, it was Yelu Hulu who did not take advantage of it.
"Brother, what now? Holu has now been arrested by the Tang people, and if the news comes back, Uncle Evensi (Yelu Evensi, Yelu Holu's father, Yili Jin of the Diera Tribe, that is, the military leader of the Diera Tribe) will definitely be dissatisfied with you, brother. Yelu said anxiously.
"I know!"
Yelu Abaoji naturally knows the importance of this, although he has the help of his uncle Yelu Shilu in the clan, but Yelu Puppet also has a certain influence in the Diera Division, if he really doesn't care, it is easy to lose the support of this person.
"Withdraw to the Shulu clan's camp first, and then find a way to redeem Holu!" Yelu Abaoji is also very big.
This matter must not be delayed until the Hui tribe, otherwise it will be detrimental to him after the matter becomes big.
"Big brother, where are the Shatuo people?" Thinking of Li Siyuan, Yelu Tingge felt a little jealous in his heart.
"The matter of Pingzhou, the responsibility is not on Li Siyuan's side, don't mention this matter again!" Yelu Abaoji glanced at Li Siyuan in the distance and said in a deep voice.
"Big brother...
"I said don't mention it again, didn't you hear?" Yelu Abaoji, who was already in a bad mood, saw that his younger brother had been holding on to this matter, and he suddenly became angry, and directly opened his mouth and yelled at the other party.
Yelu Abaoji's voice was very loud, and many people around heard it, and they all looked over curiously to see what was going on.
Yelu Thorn's face was a little ugly, but when he saw that his brother was already angry, he nodded reluctantly and stopped mentioning it.
But in his heart, he hated Yelu Abaoji and Li Siyuan. Especially the former, the other party actually yelled at him in front of so many people for an outsider, which made him very embarrassed.
Yelu Abaoji didn't care about Yelu Thorn's psychology, and he was very irritable at this time. There are troubles about this unsuccessful return, and there are also because of the capture of Jeruhorus.
Just when he was in an upset mood, there was a commotion in the marching procession.
"What's going on?" Yelu Abaoji was dissatisfied.
"Guard, our scouts have been attacked...
Before anyone could finish speaking, the commotion of the whole team became more obvious. At first, it was just the front team, but after a while, the whole team was in turmoil.
And the origin of the riots was the appearance of cavalry, a large number of cavalry, near their ranks.
Seeing the cavalry that suddenly appeared on the hillside not far away, Yelu Abaoji's face changed greatly.
"It's the Tang Army, and some of them are still the forbidden army of the Tang people!"
For that flag, Li Siyuan was the first to react.
"Forbidden Army?"
"That's the most elite unit of the Tang people, well-equipped, and experienced in a hundred battles!" Li Siyuan's expression was serious, "But how did they appear here?" ”
Li Siyuan was puzzled, and Yelu Abaoji was even more puzzled.
And just when they were wondering, the cavalry had already begun to charge.
At the beginning, it didn't look like much, but when they saw that the charging cavalry was not less than their own side, the Khitan army really panicked.
Including Yelu Abaoji!
"Array, meet the enemy! Meet the enemy! ”
Yelu Abaoji, whose face changed greatly, immediately shouted, and the entire Khitan army began to assemble in formation, but the enemy had already killed him.
A large-scale cavalry confrontation is once again unfolding on this grassland!
