Li Mao did not die, not only did he not die, but he also went to the head of the city to personally command this defense battle, which was seen by all the defenders of the city, and the murderer Qin Mo and the mutiny mastermind Zhu Jiu, who were still on the run a few days ago, were all standing by his side at this moment, like a family. Almost all the books you want to read.,It's much more stable than the general station.,There's no advertising in the whole text.。

What is going on, no one in the city can answer the clear, but the enemies attacking the city outside the city obviously see this more clearly, they fell for the tricks of the Han people, Li Mao, Jin Daoan, Wen Cheng, Zheng Xiaozhang, Chang Mucang, Zhu Jiu, Qin Mo These people co-acted in a play, a fake death, a fake rebellion, the story is twists and turns, fascinating, but the ending is very tragic:

They were coaxed into the city, their leaders murdered, their bravery exploited, and they launched a ridiculous suicide attack, and then they were all broken down and left to be slaughtered by the enemy.

Yerodron's body was snatched back, but Jerod became a prisoner of the other party.

The custom of the Khitan people is that the elders decide all the major affairs of the clan, and Yili Jin is only a loyal executor, and only the power of the elders in the war will be limited, after all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and a group of old guys cannot be allowed to think in the long run.

According to custom, when the supreme military commander Iri Sumire was seriously wounded or killed and could not perform his duties, he would be commanded by his subordinate lieutenant successively, which did not take long in a normal tribe, after all, the urgency of the military situation was better than the firefighting, and there was no room for delay, but it was a disaster for the Kazan department.

Because the Kazan tribe cannot be regarded as a normal tribe, he is only a branch of the strongest Khitan Diera tribe, and there are no elders in the clan, only the leader and military commander Yili Jin and the prison elders.

When Iri Sumire is unable to perform his duties for some reason, the deputy needs to obtain the approval of the prison elders before taking command in order, which is often a rather complicated and lengthy process, because the prison elder is sent by the headquarters and not from within the Kazan Ministry, and for his own benefit, he will have to bargain with his successor until the interests of both parties are taken into account, and this process is completed, and the acting Iri Sumire takes the position, and the war continues.

Now there is also a trouble that the first deputy of the Kazan tribe is stationed in the headquarters, the second deputy Yelushi has become a prisoner, and the third deputy has been killed in the chaos, and the fourth and fifth deputy are still alive, but because they are in the same condition, they have become natural competitors.

Because of this, the Khitans retreated to Songmu Pass for thirty miles and closed the camp to solve internal problems.

One of the major characteristics of Songmu Pass is that it is a road pass on the outside, and it is a dangerous pass on the inside, Li Mao will pay a heavy price if he wants to take the Songmu Pass heavily defended, although they have achieved victory, but the loss is not small, and there is no spare strength to attack this pass at present.

The Khitans suffered their first fiasco since moving to Liaodong, they lost 1,600 elite soldiers in just half a day, and the respected and strategic Yili Jin was also seriously injured and died in the melee.

At this moment, no Khitan dared to stand up and say the word "retreat", although from the actual situation, it was the wisest choice.

The Murwei people were marching south, and according to reliable information, they had a private pact with Li Mao, and if Li Mao was killed by his jealous subordinates in the civil strife, then there was no need to worry about the Murwei people's southward journey, and the Murwei people were still some uncivilized savages, they were ruthless and brave, but they were repeatedly defeated at the hands of the Khitans.

The Khitans admit that they have no particular advantage over the Murwei if they fight alone, and that they lose more than they win in a head-on clash of less than 50 men, but once the number exceeds 50, the Khitans' superiority in organization, discipline and tactics is manifested, and their chances of victory multiply with the increase in numbers, and as for large-scale battles with more than 500 men, the Khitans have not yet lost to the Murwei people.

The advantage of the Khitans over the Han people is reflected in the individual aspect, because of the different dietary structures, their physique is slightly superior, but the basic military quality and courage are far above the Han people.

The Han people have the accumulation of ancestors, occupy the most abundant land of water and soil, abundant products, survival is not difficult, their men are gentle and elegant, rude and ruthless, and the elite among them often think about reading, making money, farming, thinking about asking a woman to have a bunch of children, thinking about buying a good field and beautiful house, and living in peace and stability.

The vast majority of them may have never killed anyone in their lives, or even fought, where did such a group of people get their blood and courage

The Khitans are different, they live in an extremely harsh environment, their men are born to fight against the cruel natural environment, and fight against other brave grassland tribes, their lives are spent in ups and downs, the battle from life to death, never one day left them, this is their fate, but also their greatest advantage in the face of the Han people.

But they also admit that the Han people are very smart and cunning, and it takes not only extraordinary courage and strength to be their enemy, but also a long heart, because the history of the Han people is too long, there are too many people, and there are too many sufferings, only the smartest and most cunning people can survive, cunning is their nature, and their every move is setting a trap, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the pit they dug in advance and die without a place to be buried.

Naturally, the Khitans did not fear the Han because they had already seen the Achilles heel of the Han people: selfishness. The Han people only love themselves, their families and relatives, and only have the interests of themselves, their families and clans in their minds, and turn a deaf ear to the interests of other people in their own clan, and they are indifferent to the sufferings of their clansmen, and even sneer and even fall into the trap.

The Khitans would cut off their livers and intestines because their tribe had become foreign slaves, and vowed to restore their freedom with blood and life, but the Han people did not, they were indifferent to the misery of their people, and they would even take pride in enslaving their own people.

This is completely different from the Khitans, whose slaves are all foreigners, and no matter how poor or unbearable their own people are, no matter how big their mistakes are, they will not become slaves of their own people. If a group does not even care for its own people, then its strength is superficial, papery, and vulnerable.

A group of people who despise each other, who are often infighting, and who eat people is like a group of sheep gathered together, although the number is huge, but it is not terrible, because the sheep only care about themselves and their families, and when faced with danger, they do not work together to fight the enemy, but hope that the others will run slower than them, so that bad luck can befall others to protect themselves.

It was on the basis of this understanding that the Khitans dealt with Donggao Town, and the result was today's fiasco.

They couldn't change for a while, they blamed all the errors of perception on Li Mao's insidiousness and Yerodron's underestimation of the enemy, they were unwilling, unyielding, and the anger of revenge had already burned the last of their sanity, so that they knew that they were in danger, but no one was willing to stand up and propose a retreat.

They want revenge too much, and they suffer too much from gain and loss. The great waves of emotions have washed away the of reason, and what will happen in the future, they themselves can no longer see clearly.
