"What? Elder Qianfu, you must not chase it anymore, Nanban is cunning, and this black light is blinding, who knows what crisis awaits us ahead? In my humble opinion, I'd better hurry back to the camp and then do some consideration! "There was a centurion who saw that Jeluhan was going to chase after him again, and hurried out to stop him.

Yeluhan was already in a hurry at this time, and his anger rushed straight to the top door, where could he still listen to persuasion, and in anger, the long knife in his hand cut over, and cut off the centurion's head, and shouted: "Dare to question the order of this commander? Since you don't want to live anymore, then fulfill you! Listen up, and then there will be doubters who will end up like this! ”

The remaining nearly 500 Khitan cavalry saw Yeluhan kill a centurion and kill a chicken, and they were all trembling with fear, and no one dared to retreat.

"Keep the pursuit!" Yeluhan slapped the horse's buttocks with a long knife and shouted, and the war horse carried his whole person forward in the night, and nearly 500 Khitan cavalry behind him had to be brave to follow him and chase wildly.

Perhaps it was the Tang army that spent a lot of strength on the horses when they raided just now, Yeluhan chased with nearly five hundred Khitan cavalry for less than half an hour before catching up with the second team of the Tang army, the distance between the two sides was only more than a mile, and Yeluhan, who was in the front, and some Khitan cavalry began to shoot with bows and arrows.

However, at this moment, a Tang army suddenly came out from the side, and instantly broke the second half of the Khitan soldiers, and Yeluhan, who was chasing in front, heard the shouting and killing sound and the sound of swords and guns coming from behind, and immediately stopped and scolded: "Bastard, damn Southern barbarian, you actually play this kind of trick again!" ”

"Gentlemen, what should I do now?" A cavalryman next to him asked anxiously.

Yeluhan shouted: "Nonsense, of course it's to turn around and kill those Tang troops who raided, come with me!" ”

"Kill!" Yeluhan took the two or three hundred Khitan cavalry in front of him to turn around and kill back, but as soon as he arrived with his people, the Tang army that raided had already run out of a mile, leaving a large number of corpses on the ground, all of which were Khitan cavalry under his command.

"Chase!" Yeluhan was already so angry that he chased after the Tang army with two or three hundred men.

But at this time, I saw that the Tang army, which was still being chased very embarrassed, suddenly turned around and killed back, which made the Khitan cavalry behind frightened, and they wanted to turn around to meet the battle, but Yeluhan did not give an order, and when they were still hesitating, the second team of men and horses caught up with the remaining Khitan tail.

The panicked Khitan cavalry was cut off their horses one after another, and the corpses quickly fell to the ground, and the ownerless war horses ran away without a trace in the night.

Chrysanthemum was stabbed again, which made Yeluhan frightened and panicked, and he immediately stopped his horse and prepared to turn around, but at this time, the Tang army, which was still fleeing just now, all turned around and killed him and the remaining less than two hundred Khitan cavalry.

A whole thousand cavalry, one after another, was raided by the cavalry of the Tang army, gradually encroached, three times and twice, until now there is less than one-fifth left, which makes Yeluhan, who was originally angry and full of courage, also have a chill in his heart at this time, and he no longer has the courage to continue to fight with the Tang army.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!" Yeluhan shouted a few times and galloped away in the direction of chasing, the remnants of the Khitan cavalry saw Yeluhan take the lead in escaping, where did they dare to stay, they beat their horses and fled, but the Tang army would not let them escape so easily, the two Tang armies pursued the fleeing Khitan cavalry, each of them had two or three horses, although after several continuous battles and gallops, but still did not affect the speed of maneuver, and the Khitan cavalry who fled behind was quickly caught up and killed.

Xuan Wu faintly saw that there was a general wearing a white wolf skin at the front of the Khitan deserters, this person was burly, he must be the commander of this Khitan army, where would he let go of this opportunity, immediately took out a big bow, drew a sharp arrow and shot at Yeluhan's back.

With a "whoosh", the sharp arrow hit Yeluhan's vest, and Yeluhan let out a muffled snort, but he still gritted his teeth and hit the horse: "Drive, drive!" ”

Yeluhan and the others fled all the way but were killed all the way, and the number of people became more and more, and after running for less than an hour, only Yeluhan and a dozen personal guards were left.

At this time, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out of front and stopped in front, and Yeluhan, who was seriously injured, had to stop his horse, and together with a dozen or so personal guards behind him, they were also blocked in front and back, and it was impossible to escape.

"Shoot the arrows—"

Thinking that he was going to die anyway, it was better to rush over, Yeluhan was about to hit his horse and rush over, but the Tang army in front of him actually opened his bow and released arrows, and several waves of arrows came in a row, although Yeluhan tried his best to block, but he was still shot with a few arrows in the chest, and more than a dozen personal guards behind him were all shot into hedgehogs.

The most unlucky thing is the war horse, the war horse of Yeluhan and others can survive itself, but the Tang army is all indiscriminate, and the war horse of Yeluhan and others is also doomed.

Quietly in the night, the breeze exuded a strong bloody atmosphere, the whirlwind eighteen horsemen put away their weapons one by one, and Xuan Yi said in a deep voice: "Check one side again, see if there is still a living mouth, don't let a living person escape back!" ”

"No!"

・・・・・・

Battles of less than 2,000 men could no longer arouse Zhao Ziliang's interest, but whenever the Khitan tribes rushed from the east to converge with the Khitan tent with less than 2,000 people, Zhao Ziliang handed over the command to Gao Xiuyan, and the battles of less than 1,000 people were handed over to Guo Ziyi to command.

Guo Ziyi's comprehension of cavalry made Zhao Ziliang a little disappointed, after some observation, Zhao Ziliang found that Guo Ziyi was good at regular battle formations and strategies, and was relatively lacking in tactics and the use of strange soldiers, Guo Ziyi himself also found his own shortcomings in this area, so he tried his best to study and wanted to make up for it, but there was little progress, but Guo Ziyi was not discouraged and still studied diligently.

This time, Guo Ziyi led a thousand cavalry to ambush a Khitan army of less than 800 people under the order of Zhao Ziliang, and the ambush work was carried out very well, and the time for Guo Ziyi to order the assault was just right, but after the contact between the two sides, Guo Ziyi was too far behind in commanding the cavalry, and a battle without suspense finally made Guo Ziyi a strong attack, losing nearly 400 people.

Guo Ziyi was very ashamed when she faced Zhao Ziliang, "Enshuai, the students are ashamed, the good ambush battle has turned into a strong attack, the students should die, please punish Enshuai!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was silent for a while, and sighed: "A person really can't be omnipotent, Ziyi, cavalry is not what you are good at, this matter is that the general is not thoughtful, and he can't complain about you!" Your strengths are in strategic and frontal combat, the lack of courage in the use of strange soldiers, this is caused by your character, but all those who have a calm personality and thoughtful people are not willing to take risks, if you are a general in the future, you must use your strengths and avoid weaknesses, you can hand over your cavalry to the generals who are proficient in the use of cavalry, only explain the task, do not interfere with the actual command, so as to give full play to the combat power of the cavalry, and if you are not sure, never take risks, you are not a person who is good at taking risks! ”

Guo Ziyi bowed and saluted: "Thank you for mentioning it, the students will remember it!" ”

These days, Zhao Ziliang also found a weakness in Guo Ziyi's character, too kind, if Guo Ziyi is an ordinary civilian, of course this character is very good, and will win the favor and friendliness of the neighbors, but he is a leading general, too kind can certainly gain the support of some generals, but once something happens, his deterrence and prestige are insufficient, and others will not be afraid of him.

Just like the battle of Xiangzhou two years after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the nine major festivals made the envoy gather 200,000 troops to fight with Shi Siming and Anyang North, the Tang Army's nine major festivals among the highest qualifications and prestige belonged to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, but both of them were important ministers relied on by the emperor, and Emperor Suzong was not easy to appoint who was the commander, but only appointed the eunuch Yu Chaoen as the observer envoy. And his qualifications are higher than other Jiedu envoys, he served as the Shuofang Jingluo military envoy for many years, although he was not appointed as the Shuofang Jiedu envoy until the Anshi Rebellion, but his seniority in the army is higher than that of other Jiedu envoys, even Li Guangbi is slightly inferior to him in this regard, at that time, he tried to unify the forces of the nine major jiedu envoys to form a unified command, so that there would not be another 200,000 troops later collapsed, but the other eight jiedu envoys did not listen to him, and later after the army collapsed, In order to avoid bearing the blame for himself, Yu Chaoen pushed the black pot to Guo Ziyi, why didn't Yu Chaoen push the black pot to Li Guangbi? It can also be seen from this that even Yu Chaoen thought that Guo Ziyi was the most prestigious and senior among the nine major festival envoys at that time, but he did not have the ability to unify the Tang army.

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "Ziyi, you follow the general, and after this battle is over, you will return to serve in the Datong Army!" ”

"No!" Guo Ziyi was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. He knew that not everyone had the opportunity to learn to lead the army and fight by Zhao Ziliang's side, when he was in Chang'an, how many children of the family and the sons of the generals wanted to worship under Zhao Ziliang to learn the method of commanding the army, but Zhao Ziliang did not agree to any of them, and there were many princes and nobles among those people.

Being able to follow Zhao Ziliang's side, Guo Ziyi knew that he would have the opportunity to learn the essence of Zhao Ziliang's practical application of the art of war.

Everyone's personality largely determines the achievements of this person's life, although Guo Ziyi's character is flawed, but his character is liked by the emperors, the emperor will be relieved with such an old minister and veteran, which is also the reason why Suzong and Daizong have always handed over the military power to him.

Zhao Ziliang decided to teach Guo Ziyi according to his aptitude, of course Guo Ziyi was willing, although let a person twice his age teach the art of war and the way of battle, others may be embarrassed or extremely disdainful, but Guo Ziyi is different, he is very humble to ask Zhao Ziliang for advice, Zhao Ziliang also knows everything, and he has endless words.
