The Liao army was chased by the cattle and fled in all directions, and only after running for twenty or thirty miles did anyone dare to gradually stop, and some troops who had just arrived at the battlefield did not know what was going on and thought that the main force was defeated by the Song army, so they did not dare to stop and fled back to Xijin Mansion. In order to avoid being punished, the generals who fled back to Xijin Province exaggerated the strength of the Song army and said that the Song army was chasing after them.

Since the 50,000-strong army was defeated in just a moment, and the whereabouts of Yixin and other generals were unknown, the Liao lord thought that the Song army's westward march in the morning was entirely to set a trap, and he chose to believe the generals who had fled back to Xijin Mansion. For a while, the gate of Xijin Mansion was closed, and he began to seriously guard against the Song people coming to attack the city. And the Liao lord sent a messenger to recall Yelu Chongyuan's army, and ordered Yelu Yi to send troops back to support first, which was completely in a state of rumors.

The two troops sent by Yixin to make a detour to the rear of the Song army came to the main road when it was almost dark after trekking through mountains and rivers with difficulty, but they did not find the Song army. Then they searched eastward, and they didn't even see the shadow of the Song army, but they saw a mess at the mountain pass. They sent people to look for the coach, but they couldn't find Yixin anywhere. By the time the news of the Song people's westward movement reached the Liao lord, it was already the morning of the next day.

The collapsed troops of the Liao people gathered in Xijin Mansion in the afternoon, but because they were all scattered, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers, so they had to resume the establishment in Xijin Mansion. Yixin, the king of the North Courtyard, and several generals were not found, and only in the evening did someone say that they saw Yixin's banner fall in front of the herd, and it was estimated that it was more than lucky.

At the same time, south of Wangdu, the two armies of Song and Liao had already engaged in several rounds of forward battles, and the main forces were already approaching each other. Yeluyi rode on his horse first, looked at the strict Song army formation from afar, and hesitated.

Although the Liao army broke through Wangdu County, when the city was broken, the Song people categorically set fire to the granary. Without getting the grain and grass in the city and Wangdu, the Liao army had to rely on supplies from the rear to fight in this icy and snowy time. The news from the rear was that several grain storage sites, including Zhuozhou, were burned by the Song people, and even cattle and sheep were massacrated by the Song people. From the Song-Liao border to Zhuozhou, it can be said that it is a hundred miles of red land.

Moreover, the Song people also destroyed the bridges on Laishui and Zhuoshui. After a few days of southerly winds, the ice will become thinner, and it will not be easy to send cattle and sheep from Xijin Province. Moreover, the Song people plundered all the way to the north, and almost all the reserve war horses raised by the Liao people in that area were plundered. Without these reserve war horses, Yi Xian had to reduce the combat power of his cavalry by a few points.

Now there are rumors in the army that tens of thousands of Song troops have entered the Liao realm, just to cut off the back road of Yelu Yixian's army, which makes people panic. Although Yeluyi killed some people first to stop the spread of rumors, the officers who had a grange in Nan Si Jin Province and the soldiers whose families were in Nam Si Jin Province no longer had the heart to fight.

Now Yeluyi is no longer facing the question of how to defeat the Song army, but the question of whether this battle can be fought, and he really does not dare to guarantee that he can defeat this Song army in this situation.

Now no matter what the situation is outside the mountain, Li Buqi here is just how fast he can run. Got rid of thousands of loose and very grain-consuming Uncle Niu, and the speed of the team's march was significantly faster. Now that there is no oxen to drag down, and there are enough horses to transfer, how fast they can run depends on whether the infantry of the Zhenwu Army can support it. Although since last year, Li Buqi has ordered the training of Zhenwu soldiers in the ability to ride on horses for a day and a night, but after all, it is a slow situation. Now they are basically in a state of galloping all the way, and many infantry are physically exhausted. In order to allow the infantry to keep up as much as possible, Li Buqi ordered the infantry to take turns to get on the carriage and rest, while the cavalry could only gallop on their horses all the time.

Fortunately, there were enough horses, and Li Buqi found that the horses were not good, so he immediately threw away the horses that had drained his strength; When they noticed something was wrong with the vehicle, they immediately threw it on the side of the road and burned it. So he ran all the way, and also threw the horses and vehicles all the way. Most of these horses are overworked and do not live long.

According to the knowledge he obtained from the Internet, the Mongol cavalry relied on sufficient horse consumption, and the average daily marching speed reached 90~95 kilometers in the operation of thousands of miles of assault. This should still include the time spent on the battle, so the Mongol cavalry will only march faster.

Li Buqi now also requires his troops to be able to run more than 200 miles in one day and one night to reach the Bauhinia Pass, which is basically the average marching speed of the Mongol cavalry. As long as there are no major surprises, it should be achievable.

When the horses were discarded on the one hand, Li Buqi plundered along the road, and all the horses in the Liaoren post stations and gardens along the way were scavenged, and when there were still more than 40 miles away from the fork in the road to Ulzhou, he not only burned the post stations and villages, but also cut down trees and piled them on the road to ignite to form several fire barriers. It is normal for these big trees to burn for a few days and nights, and even if the Liao people chase them, they must first find a way to extinguish the fire and clear the way out.

The next day, the Liao monarchs and ministers finally determined that the Song people did not come to Xijin Mansion, and it was very likely that they went west. The Liao army sent troops from Xijin Mansion returned to yesterday's battlefield in horror, and saw dead cattle corpses everywhere along the way, including several thousand. The cattle were overly frightened, exhausted themselves after a lifeless run, and exhausted themselves to death.

Seeing this scene, the Liao army, whether it was a nobleman or an ordinary soldier, all scolded the Song people for being a loser, which is thousands of cows!

When they arrived at the funnel-shaped battlefield that entered the mountain, the scene was even more miserable, especially in the mountain pass, where corpses were completely stacked on top of each other, and the Liao people wasted a lot of effort to clear a path.

The bodies of Yixin and several high-ranking generals were also recovered. This was due to the fact that their horses were hung with silver barriers, and the people were dressed luxuriously, otherwise they would not have recognized him at all. Their bodies had been trampled by oxen and horses.

Seeing this tragic scene, the Liao people cowered when they entered the valley, for fear that thousands of crazy beasts would rush out of the valley - perhaps the Song people had used up their plundered cattle, but it is said that the Song people should still have a large number of horses in their hands. Just look at Li Buqi, a madman, who released hundreds of thousands of cattle worth hundreds of thousands of guan at once, what is so strange about him releasing thousands of horses to attack the Liao army?

Since the Song people have been following the road to Ulzhou and Flying Fox, the intention is obvious, but they don't know whether they want to enter Shanxi or go out of Yi County. Liao lord Yelu Zongzhen immediately ordered the messenger to travel through the roads of Yizhou, Bauhinia Pass, and Flying Fox all the way to inform Flying Fox and the defenders of Ulzhou to intercept the Song army, all the way from the north to Ulzhou to inform the Ulzhou defenders to intercept it, all the way to the north to make a detour to find Xiao Hui, who annexed Xijing Datong Mansion, to transfer troops, and all the way to Yelu Yixian to transfer a cavalry from Yi County to occupy Bauhinia Pass to block the Song army.

Bauhinia Pass, it is a dangerous place for a husband to be closed. But such a dangerous pass is of no use to the Liao State, so there is no garrison, and it is basically deserted. The lord of Liao believed that without additional troops, he would not be able to stop the fierce Song people at all.

Li Buqi was also afraid of being blocked by the Liao people under the Bauhinia Pass, so although the five hundred cavalry who attacked Yizhou should have controlled the Bauhinia Pass according to the plan, he did not dare to be careless at all, and ran non-stop in the starry night, ran for a day and a half of the night, and finally saw the towering Bauhinia Ridge under the moonlight when he was ugly the next day.

Li Buqi immediately sent people to investigate the Bauhinia Pass and connected with the cavalry occupying the Bauhinia Pass, so that the troops could stop and recuperate.
