On the one hand, it was prepared, on the other hand, it was in a hurry to respond to the battle, the Song army naturally suffered a big loss, the arrows were killed and wounded, and the Liao army rushed in and was a cover killing, and the Liao cavalry rushed left and right in the camp, killing the Song army's stumps and broken arms, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

At this time, Wang Ji had already mounted his horse and rushed towards the Liao army with his own soldiers. Because there are soldiers around the tent to guard, Wang Ji's military tent was the least impacted, Wang Ji also didn't care about the armor, holding his own spear and rushed out of the tent, there were already pro-soldiers to bring his war horse, left and right a group of pro-soldiers also got on the war horse, with Wang Ji to kill to the front.

The ground in front was littered with the corpses of the dead Song army, sporadically mixed with the corpses of the Liao army, and the war horses that had lost their owners fled in all directions. Most of the Song army was still fighting on foot against the enemy's Liao cavalry, and was struggling to support. If the preparation is sufficient, the Song army relies on bows and crossbows and spears to form a battle formation, and the Liao cavalry will never and dare not attack the infantry of the Song army. The astonishing range of the Song army's bow and crossbow, coupled with the resistance of the pikemen in front of the formation, was a nightmare for the Liao army that had been dealing with it for many years. The advantage of the Liao army is the advantage of the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind and the superb horse archery skills on the horse. And now, the Liao army is using its own strengths to fight the shortcomings of the enemy Song army.

Leading his own more than 100 people of the pro-army, Wang Ji took the lead in rushing to the Liao army, the Liao army has been scattered at this time, but Wang Ji's group of more than 100 people has become the superior force, seeing that Wang Ji led people to surround and kill the scattered Liao soldiers one by one, the Song soldiers who were killed and supported hard saw Wang Ji's situation, and they also approached Wang Ji while killing, and there were more and more Song soldiers around Wang Ji, and they also grabbed war horses and fought against the Liao cavalry.

Seeing this situation, a deputy general of the Liao army with a bone in his hand met Wang Ji, and the two saddled horses and fought together, and Wang Ji's pro-army also looked for opponents and fought with the Liao army. Wang Ji is worthy of being a fierce general in the younger generation of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, not as good as Sanhe, a shot stabbed to the Liao Army, the deputy general of the Liao Army was picked off the horse, and the morale of the Song Army was greatly boosted.

At this time, Wang Ji took advantage of the gap to glance and saw that nearly half of his soldiers were killed and wounded, and those who were still able to fight had gathered around him, but the Liao army was becoming more and more brave at this time, and was gradually surrounding here.

Seeing that the camp was on fire, if the battle continued, the whole army was wiped out. These two thousand five hundred cavalry soldiers are the elite of the Western Route Army this time, and Yang is under his temporary command, if he loses everything in his own hands, then he will die and cannot be redeemed.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Ji had made up his mind, and ordered the pro-army to send an order to retreat to the Laishui camp, Wang Ji was still a conscientious general, and when he ordered the retreat, he ordered the pro-soldiers to retreat while fighting in the rear, and fled to the Laishui camp on the back road. Wang Ji knew that at this time, the Laishui battalion must know that there was a change in the front army, and he would definitely strengthen his vigilance, and he would lead the army back to preserve his strength.

Xiao Gan did not personally go to the battle, in the firelight, he saw that Wang Ji had gathered his men and horses, was highlighting his siege, and led his troops to flee to the southwest, the southwest direction was the direction of the main camp of the Song army, this time, first, he could not completely annihilate the vanguard of the Song army, and second, he was only afraid of disturbing the main force of the Song army and disrupting his plan. Xiao Gan immediately made a decision and gave the order to go down, asking the whole army to closely pursue the Song army deserters, and not to let the Song army escape from the pursuit. When the Liao soldiers heard the order, they chased after the horses. The horses of the Liao army had good foot strength and long strength, and they closely pursued the cavalry army of Wang Ji's department. The sky is full of stars, and the ground is flat under their feet, and the two groups of people are galloping hard one after the other. However, the two sides are in different moods, and they naturally dare not lag behind when they are hunted down, so although it is only a stone's throw away, the Liao army can only hang tightly for a while, and it can't catch up if they want to catch up.

Wang Ji turned his head to look at it at a gallop, only to see that the location of his camp just now was already in flames, and he could see it from afar. The light of the fire was particularly dazzling in the night, illuminating the two groups of cavalry on the road. Wang Ji lay on horseback, there was still darkness in front of him, dozens of miles away, if he ran with all his strength, I was afraid that he would be able to escape to the main camp, and this mount would be tired and paralyzed.

Xiao Gan had no other thoughts at this time, he must intercept and kill on the road ahead before this Song army was discovered by the main force, otherwise he would have won tonight, and he would fall short and disrupt his entire plan. The next thing was that he was pressed and beaten by the Song army. Thinking of this, Xiao Gan slammed the horse's belly, took the lead, and chased forward desperately.

At this time, both sides already know each other's intentions and know each other's routes. That is, to go straight to the main camp of the Song army in Laishui at the shortest distance. The Liao army, which was chasing after him, couldn't bother to draw arrows to shoot the Song army, which would only delay precious time, and the time to shoot an arrow would require more than ten breaths to catch up. Now the two sides are fighting for horsepower and the horseman's horsemanship, but these two Song cavalry are not dominant.

To the northeast, the sky is full of red light. When the soldiers on the watchtower came to report to Xin Xingzong, the soldiers of the Western Route Army were all under the control of Xin Xingzong, and he had already rested after bathing in fragrant soup. The guards outside the camp shouted at Xin Xingzong for a while, and Xin Xingzong woke up. Hearing that there was an abnormality reported outside, Xin Xingzong hurriedly put on his shirt and came to the tent. After ascending to the low point general platform, Xin Xingzong had already seen it. Looking at the location and distance, it is Fanyang Village where Wang Ji is located, if you can see the fire reflected in the sky here, compared to the place is already extremely chaotic, Wang Ji has no time to take care of the fire.

Xin Xingzong had just sent an urgent letter to Tong Guan's cronies before going to bed, saying that the former army had arrived outside the city of Zhuozhou, and the Chinese army had occupied the Laishui camp and would soon return to Zhuozhou to repay the emperor's kindness. In the past few days, Xin Xingzong and Tong Guan have been like young boys and girls in love, exchanging letters every day, praising each other, and they are not intimate. Suddenly, why did something happen to Wang Ji?

After all, Xin Xingzong had been in charge of the army for many years, and he quickly calmed down, ordered everywhere to be guarded, and the soldiers in the battalion should not make noise, and ordered two more horses to be set up outside the gate of the village. The armies in the battalion were prepared for battle, just in case.

After some arrangement, Xin Xingzong felt a little more stable in his heart. The staff of the army also crowded into his tent, all pale and disheveled. These staff, to be honest, he can't look down on any of them, Wen can't give advice, Wu can't go into battle to kill the enemy, all of them are the children of the middle and high families in the capital, and they all linger in the alleys of the capital on weekdays, Yanguan Song Building, drinking and having fun, playing Keju, and appreciating the Oiran are all among the leaders. It took an unknown amount of money to trust the relationship and enter Tong Guan's account. Who knew that there were still some people who were not greedy enough, and they were so bold that they came here with his Chinese army. On weekdays, he is also impassioned and scholarly, as if he was given 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he could immediately take Yanjing. Now that the former army has just emitted a little smoke, it is such a virtue.
