Yelu Dashi was standing in the southeast of the Song army camp, and a distant barrier in front of him was reporting to him about the changes in the Song army camp. Just now, Jiao Anjie led his right army to leave the camp and go south. Some of his generals shouted that they would lead the army to chase and kill the southerners from behind, just like Xiao Shumi. Jerodashi did not agree.

It's not that Yelu Dashi is merciful, but this time Jiao Anjie led the troops to escape, which was different from Liu Yanqing leading the troops to escape. Liu Yanqing led all the cavalry, and they had to be defeated in one go, so they couldn't give Liu Yanqing a chance to breathe and wake up, so they had to be chased and killed immediately. However, most of the troops led by Jiao Anjie were infantry troops, and from the camp of the southerners to Xiongzhou, a distance of more than 200 miles, they could run all night and catch up. Yelu Dashi thought that while the southern army, the middle army, the right army, and the rear army had fled, and the camp was empty, he would first capture the camp and completely eradicate the foundation of the Song army within the boundaries of the Liao State.

Yelu Dashi seized the opportunity and sent a cavalry army of 500 people to the south to bypass a large circle to the west of the camp, and then desperately killed a few war horses to break into the Song army camp, and the Song army camp was completely finished.

Who would have thought that there was only one left left army in the camp, and he still had the heart to divide his troops to guard all parts of the camp and repel the sneak attack cavalry he sent. And it didn't take long for Yelu Dashi to hear the angry shouts of "Guardian Battalion" coming from the Song army camp not far away.

"This battalion won't be able to take it for a while." Yelu Dashi said to himself.

"Lin Ya, with my five thousand elite soldiers, how can I not capture this broken camp?" The subordinate general asked unconvinced.

"My Khitan warriors are used to drive away the southerners and guard Yanjing, but they are not exchanged with these southerner soldiers." Yelu Dashi said disdainfully, "Thorn Ge, you lead a thousand men, stay here, keep attacking, and don't let the southerners escape." The others, come with me to kill the southerners deserters! Yelu Dashi finally made up his mind that he would no longer waste his time for this lonely camp, and he would lead his troops to hunt down the soldiers and horses who fled with Jiao'an Festival, so that they would never dare to come to the ground of Daliao again.

"Please rest assured!" The Khitan general named Thorn Ge commanded and said.

The cavalry led by Liu Yanqing was simply panicked, and just fled south along the road they came, that is, the east bank of the Liu-Li River, but they didn't know that such a route was instead detouring in an arc. And the direction of escape can only be forward or left, which is more conducive to Xiao Gan's pursuit.

Along the way, the Song army had already raised the speed to the highest, for fear that if one fell behind, the army behind would catch up and kill him. In order to increase their speed, the Song army quickly threw all those useless burdens on the way to escape, helmets, armor, bows and arrows, waist knives, when escaping, what is the use of these things? Except for wasting some of the horse's foot power.

This made Xiao Gan not rush to catch up, but just followed behind Song Jun easily, watching Song Jun run away in embarrassment unhurriedly. It's like chasing big prey such as tigers and bears, you have to frighten the prey, let the prey keep running, run until you have no strength, and then kill the prey. At that time, the prey, no matter how ferocious it was, had no strength to resist.

It was getting brighter, and it was already dawn. Xiao Gan and his men didn't even need to look at the fleeing Song army in front, but only knew where the Song army fled along the east and west clothes and armor on the ground.

It was almost past Gu'an City, and on the surface of the Liu Li River, hidden in the dense grass on the bank, a cloud of white mist rose up, sometimes blown away by the wind, and sometimes gathered again. Xiao Gan glanced at the pale sky in the east, the cold smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes became as ferocious and ruthless as a hungry wolf.

In contrast, the Jiao'an Festival is much luckier. What was left for Jiao'an Festival was a period of escape without pursuers. Xiao Gan had already led his men and horses to the southeast to chase Liu Yanqing. And the men of Jerodashi are still persistently attacking the camp.

Jiao Anjie naturally refused to follow the route of Liu Yanqing, Xiao Gan and others, and when Xiao Gan finished cleaning up Liu Yanqing and turned around, didn't he send Xiao Gan to the door by himself?

Therefore, Jiao Anjie made a quick decision and chose to face the Liu Li River to the south, rather than going south along the left bank of the Liu Li River. Drain the cavalry, who were familiar with the road, go forward first, find a bridge that can cross the river, and then lead his right army to quickly cross the river and move south. After the army passed, Jiao Anjie also ordered someone to smash the bridge just now and fall into the water, and Jiao Anjie left with confidence.

After the Liu Li River, it is not more than ten miles away, and it is the Huliang River in the north of Zhuozhou City. From here, you can already see the head of Zhuozhou City. The shape of the flag on it is also faintly discerning. Jiao Anjie didn't care about the hunger in his belly, and urged the army to move quickly. He is not like Liu Yanqing, who left the Chinese army and fled with only the horse army. He took all the infantry soldiers to flee for their lives, and when the soldiers chased and killed, the infantry troops could still form a formation and resist it.

The Huliang River is shallow and narrow, and more than 10,000 horses and infantry troops lined up from east to west, each finding a suitable place to start crossing the river. There were those who crossed the river on horseback, those who crossed the river hand in hand, and those who crossed the river by setting up wooden planks to make bridges at the narrow part of the river, and there were originally two small bridges, both of which were crowded with people crossing the river. More than 10,000 people gradually passed through more than an hour.

Jiao Anjie had already mounted his horse and hurried forward, and there were only a few infantry troops left, and after crossing the river, they were slowly gathering according to the team, and they were hurrying south in pairs.

The road meandered south half a mile east of Zhuozhou City, and at this time it was already the end of the Yin period, and the soldiers on duty on the Zhuozhou city wall could already be seen patrolling back and forth. There are also soldiers standing at the head of the city looking at the fleeing Song army, and if you get closer, you can still see the pity in the eyes of the soldiers in the city.

The soldiers who had worked hard just hurriedly and curiously glanced at the head of Zhuozhou City, and then continued south, south.

Suddenly, the Song army found that the soldiers at the head of the city were constantly pointing to the north with their weapons, and they were so far away that they could hardly hear what they were shouting, but the Song army understood that there should be something in the north.

Some Song troops couldn't help but look north, and couldn't help but be shocked: to the north of the Huliang River they had just crossed, there were overwhelming Fanren cavalry galloping towards them, and they didn't pay attention to the Huliang River that the Song army had crossed just now.

Hearing the sound of approaching hooves behind, Jiao Anjie and his horse army in front naturally took the lead and ran south. The infantry army that followed closely also desperately followed.

Most of the Song infantry had just crossed the river and marched south in formation. At this time, the Fan army had already crossed the river, brandished their weapons, and surrounded and killed these infantry troops in a fan shape.

The defenders at the head of the city kept waving their arms and shouting loudly at these Song troops. The Fan army cavalry had already rushed over, and the blades in their hands fell, and the Song soldiers who bore the brunt of the attack immediately fell into the dust.

Yelu Dashi commanded the soldiers to kill from the northeast, and when they saw the fighting, the Song army infantry had no one to command, and they ran aimlessly towards Zhuozhou City.

ran closer to Zhuozhou City, only to hear the defenders at the head of the city shouting: "Go to the battle under the city!" Listening to that voice, it turned out to be the familiar Qinlong Xiangyin.
