Chapter 274: The truce of the Battle of Moxi
Yeluqi did not immediately respond to the request of Shu Luhe, one of the four great King Kongs under his command, but observed the infantry battle formation of the Ju'an army again, and then Yeluqi said in a deep voice: "Spread the order of the king, the 70,000 troops attacking the Jin infantry battle formation will stop charging and all withdraw to this formation!" ”
Shu Luhe asked in surprise, "Lord, are you ready to withdraw your troops?" ”
"It's not a withdrawal, it's a truce today! It was okay to fight with the Jin cavalry before, but our attack on the Jin infantry battle formation made us lose a lot, which has affected our morale, it seems that it is not suitable to continue to fight again today, anyway, the big Jin dove tiger has already led the troops to Moxi City, and we have time to clean him up! ”
Shu Luhe nodded and said, "Lord wise! With hundreds of thousands of troops, it is difficult to distinguish the winner in a battle, as long as that Great Jin Dove Tiger wants to save Moxi City, we have a chance to defeat the main force of his army here. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After Yeluqi's order was issued, the Khitan cavalry's life-and-death assault on the infantry battle formation of the Ju'an army soon stopped, and slowly retreated, but in front of the infantry battle formation composed of four infantry battalions of the Ju'an army, they left a place of dead corpses, which were overlapping and covered a large area.
Seeing that the Khitan cavalry had retreated on the frontal battlefield, the three cavalry battalions of Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai and Hua Xiong, who were attacking the Khitan army's main formation from the left, and the three cavalry battalions of Feng Sheng, Lin Chong and Guan Sheng, who were attacking the Khitan army's main formation from the right side, also stopped attacking and slowly retreated to the main formation of the Ju'an army.
The Khitan army only divided 20,000 troops on the left and on the right, and the three cavalry battalions of Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai and Hua Xiong, as well as the three cavalry battalions of Feng Sheng, Lin Chong and Guan Sheng, were forcibly blocked, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under Liu Ji was indeed much worse than that of the Khitan cavalry.
Yeluqi led his troops back to the Khitan army's main formation, and Yelu Amu, the Khitan right letter king, and Yelu Ge, the left Li king, hurried to Yelu Qi.
Yelu Amu, the king of Youxin, frowned and asked Yeluqi, "Old Seventeen, what should I do now?" I didn't expect that the infantry of the Great Jin Dove Tiger was so powerful that it could withstand the charge of our 70,000-strong troops, and the number of this infantry battle formation was only about 30,000! ”
Yeluge, the king of Zuoli, followed and said: "Seventeenth brother, is it to increase the strength of the charge, we have a total of 190,000 troops here, and this king does not believe that he will not be able to break through the infantry battle formation of a Jin people!" ”
This time, the Khitan army came with a total of 220,000 troops, including 22 10,000 people, of which some 10,000 people were only a few thousand, and they were not yet formed, but some of the 10,000 people were overnumbered, more than 15,000 people, at this time in the south, west, and north directions outside Moxi City, there was a Khitan cavalry of 10,000 people, and the remaining 19 Khitan cavalry 10,000 people were all here.
Yeluqi said in a deep voice: "The infantry battle formation made by the Great Jin Dove Tiger is indeed quite powerful, it can be described as both offensive and defensive!" Today our morale has been lost, it is not easy to fight again, anyway, that big Jin dove tiger has already come, we are not in a hurry to clean him up! ”
Yelu Amu, the king of Youxin, and Yeluge, the king of Zuoli, glanced at each other, and then they both nodded, and then Yeluge asked, "What about Moxi City?" Are we still surrounded? ”
Yeluqi glanced back at Moxi City, and then said: "Order the 20,000 troops to the west and south of Moxi City to immediately withdraw to the north of Moxi City, and then we will set up a large camp in the north outside Moxi City, looking for an opportunity to defeat the army of this Great Jin Dove!" ”
Yeluge then asked, "If the army of the Great Jin Guhu enters Moxi City, then it is almost impossible for us to defeat his army, and it is impossible for us to capture the city guarded by 200,000 troops!" ”
Yeluqi sneered and said: "Moxi City is not big, the Great Jin Guhu has brought at least 200,000 troops this time, and Moxi City can't hold so many troops!" ”
Then Yeluqi glanced at the Hawks' army and the Uighur cavalry in front of him, and said coldly: "If we don't defeat the army of the Great Jin Guhu today, we won't have a chance to continue to surround Moxi City!" ”
Seeing tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry storming the four infantry battalions under his command and not resisting, Liu Ji finally put his heart in his stomach, and finally the Khitan cavalry lost a corpse in front of the infantry battle formation composed of four infantry battalions, and had to withdraw to the Khitan army's main formation, which made Liu Ji completely relieved.
Waiting for the Khitan army to slowly withdraw to the north of Moxi City, Liu Ji's face had a smile, although the cavalry under his command was not as good as the Khitan cavalry, but the infantry of the Ju'an army taught the Khitan cavalry a hard lesson, and depending on the situation, the loss of the four infantry battalions was not large, which made Liu Ji see the hope of defeating this Khitan army.
Just as the Khitan army retreated to the north of Moxi City, the six cavalry captains Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai, Hua Xiong, Feng Sheng, Lin Chong, and Guan Sheng returned to Liu Ji's side.
After Yang Zaixing saw Liu Ji, he sighed and said: "Lord, the Khitans are really powerful, our three cavalry battalions attacked the Khitan army from the left, but they were blocked by less than 20,000 Khitan cavalry, and our three cavalry battalions suffered a lot of losses!" ”
Feng Sheng said with a wry smile: "The situation on our side is similar, our three cavalry battalions are also blocked by less than 20,000 Khitan cavalry, and the losses are also very large!" ”
The faces of the other four cavalry captains also showed helplessness, their own forces were superior, and they still failed to beat the Khitan cavalry.
Liu Ji looked at the retreating Khitan army and said: "After all, the Khitan tribe is one of the three major nomadic tribes in the grassland, the prestige of the Khitan cavalry for hundreds of years is not a decoration, and the cavalry of our Ju'an army is not as good as the Khitan cavalry. ”
At this time, Su Lie, who was beside Liu Ji, said: "My lord, it seems that the Khitans are not going to continue to fight today, and they should not continue to besiege Moxi City, after all, our more than 100,000 people in the Ju'an army are not decorations, and the Khitans have been unable to form an encirclement of Moxi City, but the Khitans will not withdraw easily, according to the information we have obtained, the main target of this Khitan army is our Ju'an army, since our lord is here, they will definitely find a way to defeat the main force of our Ju'an army here in Moxi City." ”
Liu Ji rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "The Khitans want to defeat our Ju'an army here in Moxi City, and Ben Taishou still wants to defeat their Khitan army here in Moxi City!" If we can defeat the Khitan army here in Moxi City, it will not affect all parts of the country under the rule of Ben Taishou, and it can be regarded as outside the enemy! ”
