At the same time that Hangzhou on the southern front was taken, Chen Fan's arrangements on the northern front were also all in place, and Tuoba Siji took the lead in attacking the northern part of the Khitan people in the north, and more than 100,000 troops pressed the border, forcing this Khitan to gradually stay away from Yelu Hanxiong's headquarters. At the same time, Lu Yi and Taxi in the middle of the lane joined forces to press forward step by step, so that the main force of the Khitan headquarters had no way to be distracted to rescue the men and horses who were besieged by Tuoba Siji. Yelu Hanxiong, who was seriously underarmed, sent people to ask for help from Momoli, but the messenger was intercepted and killed halfway through.

However, this could not delay Momoli's decision, the only remaining warrior of the Bohai Kingdom guessed Chen Fan's mind the moment the Khitans were attacked. But sitting in his position was in an embarrassing dilemma, the order from Da Zuorong made him throw a rat bogey, but as a commander, he was very familiar with the truth of the cold lips and teeth, once the Khitans were annihilated, then the strength of the Bohai State would be difficult to compete with the Tiance army. But the hundreds of thousands of horses in his hands are almost the last elite force of the Bohai Kingdom, if he doesn't obey Da Zuorong's wishes, not only will he be infamy, but the most important thing is that once he chooses the wrong one, he will be doomed.

The big war is imminent, and the hesitation of the front-line coach has obviously made the lieutenants around him aware of it, but no one can untie the knot in Momo's heart. In fact, Da Zuorong's idea is not surprising, the Bohai State was originally a small country dependent on the Central Plains when the Tang Dynasty was strong, and if the Tang Empire agreed to call itself a minister, it would not be strange to surrender or something.

"Is there any news from Da Zuorong? Did the prince inquire about it? After being silent for a long time, Mo Mo asked.

The deputy general beside Mo Moli shook his head and said, "Da Zuorong is still negotiating in the Tiance Army camp, and the messenger has not sent news, the prince should have been captured by the other party." However, according to the previous Da Zuorong's chamberlain, the other party had no intention of detaining the prince, and said that the prince would be released as scheduled regardless of whether the negotiations were successful or not. ”

In fact, Momo himself knew the news that the deputy general said, but the words of the deputy general made him suddenly discover a fact that he ignored, that is, the Tiance Army did not put his mind on negotiations at all when it was so arranged, and such an important hostage as the prince was disdainful, and the other party was determined to destroy the Bohai Kingdom.

"The order is given, and the right forward department will immediately set off to support Tuoba Hanxiong, and the rest of the brigade will immediately move to prepare to attack the Tiance Army camp." Mo Moli's order made the deputy generals around him panic for a while, and hurriedly said: "The general can't, Da Zuorong and the crown prince are in the hands of the other party, and our rash participation in the war will inevitably put their lives in danger." ”

"If we don't move, will Da Zuorong be able to negotiate successfully?" Mo Moli smiled bitterly: "If it is not successful, with the offensive of the Tiance Army, the end of our Bohai Kingdom will not be much better." Go and give orders, and I'll bear all the consequences. ”

Because of Momoli's order, the army of the Bohai State finally dispatched, and the development of the battle situation was as Chen Fan expected, when the Bohai State Brigade arrived at the Tiance Army camp, the one arranged on the front also began to be dispatched, and the two sides started a big battle near Tongzhou, the cavalry corps composed of Lu Yi and Taxi fought against the other party, and the heavy cavalry battalion and other troops arranged on one side were ready to intercept the right wing forward of Momoli from the flank, which was equivalent to exerting all the opponent's forces to the limit.

It's just that the more this battle is fought, the more terrifying Momoli who is sitting in the rear, the two armies of the Tiance Army have been inseparable from the alliance between themselves and the Khitans, and as time goes by, the other party's intention is becoming more and more obvious, that is, to eat the Khitan protrusion in the north with an iron heart, and cut off the last passage for Yelu Hanxiong to flee north. And what made him most uneasy was that the army in the south of the Tiance Army had not appeared on the battlefield for a long time, and at this time, Momoli and Yelu Hanxiong had no soldiers in their hands, and if the other party attacked his right flank or rear, he would inevitably fall into the point of collapse.

Thinking of this, Momoli couldn't sit still any longer, so he led his personal guards to leave the Chinese army, and brought the last of the Chinese army's personal soldiers to the left flank front, preparing to personally intercept the possible enemy.

However, at this time, in the tent of the commander of the Tiance Army, Wu Huan and Liu Baoliang were a little bored looking at the chaotic battle ahead, and they also had some resentment when they looked at Chen Fan's back.

"Fifth brother, when will we be able to go? This breakthrough only needs one move is enough, our brothers are now rushing forward and slaughtering Momoli, the left flank defense line of the Bohai Kingdom will inevitably collapse completely, and we will win this battle. What are you waiting for? Wu Huan couldn't help it, and shouted: "Shouldn't you still be waiting for the news of their Dazuo Rongdu, Tuoba Sizhi only needs to tell him that we have launched an attack, and their father and son are unwilling and willing." ”

"Fifth brother is waiting for Hou Yong and Gao Siji?" Liu Baoliang saw that Chen Fan had been waiting for the south, and guessed what the other party meant, and frowned: "But they have been attacking Xijing for a long time, even if they are moving at full speed, at most they have just arrived at their destination, and if the news wants to come back, we will already finish the fight." ”

"Then send someone to pretend to be a distress caller from Xijing. Let Xuan Yingwei do it immediately. Chen Fan turned back abruptly and said: "Don't be idle, don't be idle, prepare immediately, once the left flank front in Momo is shaken, lead the troops to set off immediately, remember, I want the head of Momo, don't live." Chen Fan's words made Wu Huan realize why Chen Fan, who was only a left flank defense line of more than 10,000 people, had to mobilize two cavalry corps to deal with it, and hurriedly nodded and went out.

And as soon as the two of them left, it meant that all the arrangements of the northern front of the Tiance Army had been unfolded, and the rest depended on whether Tuoba Siji could annihilate the northern front of the Khitans as quickly as possible. Thinking of this, Chen Fan threw the entire battalion defense to Liu Yi, the chief of staff, and he also led the personal guards towards the northernmost battlefield. As soon as he left, Liu Yi nodded to the staff officer beside him, who quickly went out and headed towards the big tent on the other side, where was the negotiation site between Tuoba Siji and Da Zuorong.

I saw that this staff officer whispered a few words in Tuoba Siji's ear, and then Tuoba Siji showed a smile that made Da Zuorong inexplicable, "Da Zuorong, your forward has come towards the camp of our Tiance Army, and it is difficult to solve the battle with our army in front of the battle, I don't know how Your Excellency intends to explain this matter." Originally, the shouting and killing outside the camp gate was even loud, and Zuorong thought that the Khitans had called, and he still had the confidence to negotiate, but now when he heard the words of Tuoba Si Advice, how could he not understand that his mind was seen through by the other party? Hurriedly stood up and wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Tuoba's advice, "I don't want to say anything now." The Tang Empire in the Northeast is determined to win, and my emperor also said before coming that His Excellency Da Zuorong has also made some achievements in the Northeast over the years, but the empire now needs the support of all parties to recover, and I hope you can know the current affairs and go to Chang'an to live and enjoy the prosperity of the Central Plains. Otherwise, at this time, Xijing City has been taken by our army, and your father and son will have nothing. ”

Tuoba Si Zhi's words are very messy, but the amount of information is very large, and the amount of information obviously makes the other party's face change suddenly, and the prince, who has been sitting next to him without speaking, can no longer sit still at this time, and can't help but speak: "The Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and it has taken good care of the small states around me since ancient times, why is it so domineering this time, and wants to take away my land and people?" This is against the demeanor of the Heavenly Empire, right? Besides, even if it was wrong for my Bohai Kingdom to contain the Khitans before, it would be understandable that our national strength was not strong, right? ”

The words of the crown prince of the Bohai Kingdom made Tuoba Sizhi smile slightly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the times are different, and the Central Plains Dynasty will never have the same way as before for the surrounding ethnic groups." Today's Tang Empire has a new dynasty and a new atmosphere. The two of them went to Chang'an to take a look. After finishing speaking, he didn't want to say anything, and ordered: "After the battle is over, send the two of you out of here, the Tiance army will not go back on its word, the two of them will do it themselves, and I think it's too late to return to Xijing at this time to pack up and go to Chang'an." However, if I am encountered by my Tiance Army again, I don't want to meet you in the barracks again. ”

Tuoba Si's back made the two of them distracted for a while, and after a long time, Da Zuorong sighed slowly: "On the seventh day of the month, let's go back to Xijing immediately, and then clean up the clansmen and go to Chang'an to retire." ”

Did my father just give up? There are still more than 100,000 troops on the front line in Momoli, and there are nearly 300,000 people in Yeluhan, so we will not fail. Yue Qi was interrupted by his father before he finished speaking, "Idiot, don't you understand now?" Datang is determined to want Bohai Kingdom, let's sooner or later, the ending will be the same. I know what you think, retreat to the northern front with Yelu Hanxiong, unite with the Ya people, and tell your father that this road will not work. Today's Datang alone has nearly 400,000 people concentrated on the northern front, which is to complete the battle. Da Zuorong's face also became extremely sad, and he said with a wry smile: "Let's go to Chang'an earlier, maybe the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty will be able to see that we don't have all the strength to resist and allow us to spend our lives in peace." If you hesitate again, you will really die, the country will be destroyed, and you will never recover. ”

"What about Momoli? What shall we do? Yue Qi didn't know what to say by his father's words, and muttered to himself.

"He won't listen to us, my own general knows his temperament, and he will fight to the end for his country. It's good that this way, at least there are still people who uphold the integrity of our Bohai people. Da Zuorong said something inexplicable, and then left the military camp of the Tiance Army with Yue Qi, and after getting the special token, he led people around the battlefield and returned to Xijing.

At this time, Chen Fan had also arrived at the northern battlefield, and Tuoba Siji's men and horses surrounded this part of the Khitan army, and there were troops sent by Yelu Hanxiong to support it.

"Brother Si, are you planning to surround and send reinforcements? Now is the time to take them down as quickly as possible and sound the clarion call for victory for the whole battle. Chen Fan frowned and said.

"No, Dashuai, Xuan Yingwei just reported the latest news, Xiao Yu of the Khitan people has already made contact with Yelu Hanxiong, it seems that the other party has a new move, I feel that Xiao Yu should have attracted the Yan people." Tuoba Si continued: "That's why I will hang this Khitan people, and I want to see it." ”

Tuoba Siji's words made Chen Fan's face become serious, but he shook his head and said: "Your method is not right, if the Yan people really come, you should take down this Khitan people as quickly as possible, so that you will have more strength to meet the Yan people." Immediately send an order to the whole army, erect the banner of the Tiance Army, and tell all the imperial soldiers that they must take the Khitans as quickly as possible and unify the northeast. Chen Fan's words made Tuoba Siji wake up suddenly, turn around and roar, the war drum team began to sound the rumbling drums, accompanied by the artillery battalion explosives bags flying out like rain, the explosion that rose in the air completely overturned this black land, the mountains shouted like a tsunami, and countless Tiance cavalry galloped away on horseback, heading towards the Khitan army.

"Immediately mobilize the rear army and reserves to keep up to prevent the sneak attack of the Tatars, and at the same time order Lu Yi in the middle to prevent the other party from luring the enemy deep." Chen Fan's face sank like water, and the latest orders continued to be highlighted in his mouth, and he began to revise the battle layout little by little. Under the tidal impact of the Tiance army, the Khitans who were surrounded by heavy encirclements were quickly broken through the defense line, and the army formation maintained in front of them was fragmented and could no longer stop the impact of the cavalry of the Tiance army.

"It is rumored that the reserve team and the rear army will bypass the opponent's military formation and stand by in the rear of the Khitans, and once someone is impacted, they will immediately kill with their backhands." Chen Fan's words made Tuoba Siji understand that danger was coming, so he rushed directly to the front line to command it personally. And Chen Fan, who was in the Chinese army, directly took over the command and began to command the forward troops, and the Langde Department seized the time to destroy this prominent Khitan.

"Report, big marshal, the people of the Tatar appear on the main battlefield of our army." Just when Ronde had basically completed the task, the Chinese army herald reported the latest news.

"It looks like this Xiao Yu is also terrible." Chen Fan nodded with a deep groan: "Order the heavy cavalry battalion to break away from the battle line and detour behind the Central Corps to attack the opponent." Ordered the chief of staff to order all armies to go all out, and to take it for me no matter who comes. ”

After Chen Fan gave the order, he immediately took the 20,000 Chinese troops of Tuoba Siji to cover the artillery battalion, and gave an order to Langde from afar, asking them to hand over the follow-up matters to the Chinese army, and lead the main force of the forward to immediately attack Yelu Hanxiong's base camp from the north. At the same time, let the artillery battalion immediately set off and arrive behind Tuoba Siji to set up a formation and wait.

At this point, this war has really come to a node, Chen Fan smiled slightly while returning to the command headquarters while looking at the flames of war burning everywhere in the distance and the endless explosions one after another. For him, the battlefield is almost at the bottom. And originally prepared a table of dishes, but two groups of people came stubbornly. Thinking of this, Chen Fan was suddenly very curious, what kind of character was Xiao Yu who could bring strong reinforcements to Yelu Hanxiong at a critical moment. But what he may not know is that he has not been able to realize this wish in his life, and after this battle, Xiao Yu disappeared without a trace, and he will never be found again.
