With the body of a mob, 10,000 Xiongjian troops were consumed, and these Liao people were enough to be proud.

After nightfall, the two sides stopped fighting.

The Liao people withdrew to the barracks.

The Song soldiers collapsed on the city wall.

Li Xin walked out of the city gate building at this time, looked at the collapsed soldiers on the city wall, and shouted excitedly: "Today's defeat of the Liao people is a great victory!" This official will definitely ask His Majesty for your merits. ”

Li Xin is not good at fighting, but he still has the ability to buy people's hearts.

As a prison army, he must appear at the right time to help the emperor buy people's hearts.

Obviously, Li Xin's appearance was very timely, and his words immediately caused a fierce response from the soldiers on the city wall.

Only Hu Yanzan, who came from Lianjue, and Gao Jigong glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly at the same time.

In today's battle, the two of them can be regarded as seeing the reality of the Liao people outside the city.

The attack was chaotic and purely risking death to rush forward.

It's completely an outcast.

"It's not the Liao Army......

"It's not the Liao Army!"

Both spoke at the same time.

Randomly shook their heads together and smiled bitterly.

Fighting against a group of Liao civilians and fighting a one-to-three battle loss is not something to be happy about.

Rather, it's a shame.

It can also be seen from this that the Liao people are fierce, and the Liao people can also be brave and good at fighting.

Rested for the night.

The next day, the war broke out again.

The Liao people are still the same set of swarm charges.

More than 100,000 people flocked to the city wall, surging upwards like a tide.

The Song army at the head of the city was desperately resisting the attack of the Liao.

The shouts of killing, screaming, wailing, and screaming were all in one.

Today's war is far more tragic than yesterday's.

Jereus was not a fool either.

He drew on the experience of yesterday's battle, and today let 10,000 iron cavalry mix in with more than 100,000 Liao people and fight with them.

A large number of siege engines also began to appear on the battlefield.

The ballista pierced deep pits in the walls.

At the south end of the city wall, Hu Yanzan commanded the soldiers to bravely resist the Liao.

The exclamation at the gate tower aroused his idea.

He raised his eyes and almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Since the Liao army saw the gap in front of the city gate building, they killed the city wall.

"Huyanda, you preside over the battle here in place of your father, and the others will come with the old man."

Huyanzan roared violently, led a team of soldiers and horses, and went out to the city gate tower to kill.

The Liao army that climbed the city gate tower was obviously stronger and braver than the Liao people.

Less than a stick of incense on the city wall, a large number of corpses of the Song army on the city wall were poured down.

Seeing that the Liao army was about to rush into the city gate building, Hu Yanzan arrived in time and blocked the Liao army.

Gao Zuo Gong also saw the problem in front of the city gate building, and also led the soldiers and horses to gallop over to help.

Under the joint efforts of the two of them, the Liao army was beheaded on the city wall.

The city gate building is guarded.

Li Xin's legs and stomach trembled, and he walked out of the city gate building, "Thank you to the two generals for saving their lives." ”

When he came out, he thanked Huyanzan and Gaodi.

"Don't dare!"

"If Lord Li is afraid, you can go to the city first and take it, and the battle on the city wall will be handed over to the old man and Gao Zhigong."

Hu Yanzan unceremoniously criticized Li Xin.

Li Xin showed a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, "This official...... Unafraid! ”

It is false to say that he is not afraid, he is afraid to die, but he cannot go to the city.

He came to serve as the supervisor in place of Zhao Guangyi, and he really wanted to leave the city wall and hide in the city, it didn't matter if he was embarrassed, but if he lost Zhao Guangyi's face, his career would be over.

Gao nodded and said, "Lord Li has been guarding this city gate building, and it is inevitable that he will be flustered, so it is better to follow me." ”

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and nodded suddenly, "Okay!" ”

Gao Gong hugged his fist to Huyanzan and said: "The city gate building is tired of General Huyan's response." ”

"Good!"

Huyanzan readily agreed.

After that, for five days.

The Liao people are frantically attacking Waqiao Pass.

There are Huyanzan and Gao Di Gong firmly guarding the Waqiao Pass, and it is difficult for the Liao people to survive further.

Li Xin was not idle.

In accordance with his promise to Zhao Guangyi, he sent Zhao Guangyi a report in two days.

Two more days passed after that.

With the support of various circumstantial evidence, Li Xin finally believed that the black and oppressive Liao people outside the city were not the real Liao army, but a group of Liao people.

He immediately wrote to Zhao Guangyi.

After Zhao Guangyi received Li Xin's letter, he quickly replied.

After Li Xin got Zhao Guangyi's letter, he excitedly found Hu Yanzan and Gao Chugong.

"Your Majesty has an order, ordering the two generals to go out of the city to meet the attack."

Hu Yanzan and Gao Chugong glanced at each other, their faces excited.

"It's long overdue!"

Immediately, they set up their troops and horses, and before the Liao people could attack, they killed them outside the city.

Outside the city.

Yelu Xuegu was organizing the Liao people to prepare for a new round of attacks.

Suddenly, a scout rushed in front of him and knelt on one knee, "General, the Song army has come out." ”

There is no need to report to the scout, Yelu Xuegu also saw it.

"Nearly 50,000 steps...... The elite of the Great Song Forbidden Army ......"

Yelu Xuegu saw the infantry soldiers of the forbidden army at a glance.

His pupils shrank, and he frowned: "Withdraw!" ”

Almost without hesitation, Yelu Xuegu gave the order to withdraw his troops.

The Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army Bu Ren A, he has been taught.

Its combat effectiveness is far ten times stronger than that of ordinary foot soldiers.

There are only 10,000 iron horsemen under the command of Yelu Xuegu, and if they collide with the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, they will definitely lose.

Jeruxiugo did not give him the order to fight to the death, but gave him the order to retreat at the beginning.

Therefore, there is no need for Yelu Xuegu to fight hard with the Great Song Forbidden Army.

The Liao people came like a tide and retreated like a tide.

After Hu Yanzan and Gao Chugong led the soldiers and horses to kill, they didn't bump into the Liao people before they ran into them, and they saw the Liao people riding horses and driving away.

The Liao people's retreat without any hesitation made the two of them feel a little puzzled.

According to the two of them's understanding of the Liao people, with the Liao people's mentality, even before retreating, they will resist a little.

However, this kind of retreat without any hesitation is not at all like the style of the Liao people.

"Drive!"

Li Xin rode a jujube red horse and galloped over.

He saw Hu Yanzan and Gao Ji Gong, who were hesitating in place, frowned and asked, "Why don't the two generals chase after them?" ”

Hu Yanzan straightened his temper and snorted coldly directly, too lazy to take care of him.

Gao Chu Gong said with a smiling face: "Lord Li, the Liao people withdrew too simply, General Huyan and I thought there must be fraud in this." ”

"Fraud?"

Li Xin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the deception?" ”

A smile froze on Gao Chu's face, not knowing how to answer.

Since it is fraud, it is naturally not so easy to be discovered, and if it can be discovered, it is not called fraud.

Li Xin looked at Hu Yanzan, "General Hu Yan thinks the Liao people have some fraud?" ”

Hu Yanzan said angrily: "If the old man knows what kind of fraud the Liao people have, will he stop here?" ”

Li Xin raised his face and said in a low voice: "I, Li Xin, don't understand military affairs, but I know one thing, that is, obey the emperor's orders." ”

Hu Yanzan and Gao Di Gong's hearts bulged, and they didn't wait for them to ask Li Xin what he meant by this.

Seeing Li Xin, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty means, let us take advantage of the victory to pursue, there is no reason why Yang Yande can use 10,000 people to take Tongtai Pass, but we can't use 100,000 people." ”

Hu Yanzan immediately shouted: "The situation is different, how can it be generalized? Yang Yande was caught off guard and was a surprise attack. We are fighting in the open, and on the way, we may have to face the encirclement of Jeruxiugo's army of more than 100,000 troops.

We can't afford to take this risk. ”

Li Xin looked at Hu Yanzan and said, "General Hu Yan, this official knows that you don't like me, but you don't have to say these things. When the official went to Waqiao Pass, he came to be a stand-in for His Majesty. All the words of this official have been instructed by His Majesty.

If you really have a complaint, you can go to Your Majesty to theorize. But until then, I hope you will follow His Majesty's orders. ”

"Then chase it!"

Gao said.

After finishing speaking, he led his soldiers and horses and rushed to the Liao people in unison.

Li Xin stared at Hu Yanzan for a long time, and rode his horse to chase Gao Gong.

Hu Yanzan froze in place, a little at a loss.

After a while, he let out a long sigh and shouted to the soldiers and horses behind him: "Chase!" ”

As a result, the soldiers and horses of Waqiao Pass chased the Liao people for a day and a night.

chased all the way to the city of Zhuozhou.

For a time, the offense and defense reversed.

"Siege!"

Li Xin, on behalf of Zhao Guangyi, gave the order to attack the city.

Hu Yanzan and Gao Chugong led a large army and began to attack the city.

Siege of the city, the soldiers of the Great Song Forbidden Army are professional.

Li Xin represented Zhao Guangyi and decided the direction of the army, but he did not intervene in the real battle.

Hu Yanzan and Gao Chugong successively led the soldiers of the forbidden army to attack the city more than a dozen times.

Every time he attacked the city, he was resisted by the Liao army led by Yelu Xuegu.

Judging from the battle losses of both sides, the battle losses of the men and horses under the command of Yelu Xuegu were far higher than the battle losses of the forbidden troops under the command of Huyanzan and Gao Di Gong.

A day's attack.

The soldiers of the forbidden army were killed and wounded, and only more than 3,000 people were killed.

But the Liao people who were in charge of defense at the head of the city died nearly 10,000 people.

After nightfall, the two sides ceased fighting.

Yelu Xuegu was in the line in Zhuozhou City, worried.

bumped into the forbidden army that the Great Song Dynasty was very capable of, and the 10,000 people under his command may not be able to defend this Zhuozhou City.

Although Yelu Huge gave him the order to retreat, he only let him retreat to Zhuozhou City, and did not let him continue to retreat.

Today's siege of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is extremely dangerous to him.

From the first siege of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army, until the end, fifteen sieges before and after, each time they climbed to the top of the city.

At one point, he even breached half of the city.

If he hadn't led the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, I'm afraid that this Zhuozhou City would have been broken.

Just when he had a headache and thought about countermeasures.

His guards hurried into the line.

"General, the prince has sent someone over."

Yelu Xuegu was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Please." ”

The one who came to look for Yelu Xuegu was a civil servant in the palace of Yelu Hugo, who looked soft and weak.

After he saw Yelu Xuegu, he gave a salute first.

"Xiaguan has seen General Yelu Xuegu."

Yelu Xuegu smiled and said, "Don't be polite, tell me quickly, what instructions does the prince have?" ”

The man bowed down and said, "When the prince heard that the general had retreated from Waqiao Pass, he sent his subordinates over to deliver a message to the general. ”

"What?"

"Retreat!"

"Retreat?"

The man nodded and said, "The prince said that as long as the Song army pursues, you can resist appropriately." But you can't fight hard, once you feel that you can't beat, you will retreat! ”

Yelu Xuegu frowned and said, "Keep retreating?" ”

The man nodded and smiled, "Keep retreating." ”

"And what if there's no way back?"

Jeremiah asked.

The man smiled and said, "The prince has his own calculations, you don't have to ask more." ”

Yelu Xuegu was still very convinced of Yelu Hugo.

After all, Jeruhugo was his uncle.

There's no reason to hurt him.

Yelu learned the ancient way of the Han people to give gifts, and gave salutes to that person, "I understand what the prince means." ”

The man returned the salute and nodded with a smile.

That night, Yelu Xuegu left a group of people to continue to hold on to Zhuozhou, and he led a large army and a large number of people to leave Zhuozhou City at night.

Next.

Huyanzan and Gao Chugong continued to attack Zhuozhou City.

One drum down.

Little resistance was encountered.

A huge Zhuozhou city was taken over by them.

At the head of the city of Zhuozhou.

Li Xin turned his back to Zhuozhou City in high spirits, and bowed deeply in the direction where Bianjing City was located.

"My Emperor Shengming!"

In his opinion, being able to take Zhuozhou City depends on Zhao Guangyi Shengming's decision.

If it weren't for Zhao Guangyi's insistence on letting them take advantage of the victory to pursue, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to take this Zhuozhou City.

Hu Yanzan and Gao Chu Gong's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.

"Something is wrong!"

"It's so easy...... Nayelu Xuegu is also considered to be famous in the Liao Kingdom, and he resisted desperately yesterday, but he ran away last night. Doing so is completely inconsistent with his identity. ”

Hu Yanzan looked at Gao Chugong and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Gao Zhigong glanced at Li Xin vaguely, and whispered: "It doesn't matter what we think, what matters is what Your Majesty has instructions......"

Hu Yanzan nodded helplessly.

The army was stationed in the city of Zhuozhou for the night.

Next.

Li Xin continued to give orders in place of Zhao Guangyi and ordered to pursue the victory.

Zhao Guangyi's order was simple.

Since the Liao people are vulnerable, they will take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Be sure to win the Tongtai Pass.

"Your Majesty said, if we can take Tongtai Pass, hold Tongtai Pass. He will personally rush over from Bianjing City to celebrate your achievements. ”

This sentence is very motivating.

All the soldiers were inspired by this statement.

One by one, they screamed excitedly, eager to kill all the way to Shangjing, and then asked Zhao Guangyi to go to Shangjing City and personally invite them to drink.

This is the role of the emperor of the feudal dynasty.

Many times, Zhao Guangyi doesn't have to do anything, just a sentence can make everyone's hearts go to him.

Just one sentence can make everyone fight for him.

It seems that everything that can be related to the emperor is extremely glorious.

People like Yang Qi, who obviously have the opportunity to be loyal to the emperor, but have to work against the emperor, are an outlier.

With the emperor's encouragement, the army once again pursued with victory.

Yelu Xuegu was forced to retreat again and again.

In the end, he retreated to Tongtai Pass.
