At the same time, more than 70 miles south of the Benniu Plain, the original place and the camp of the department, has now become the camp of the Khitan Khan, in the endless camp, the camp illuminated by torches is as bright as day, and the wolf flag flutters in the night wind.

The position of the Chinese army is the huge and richly decorated golden tent of the Khitan Khan, and the lights in the big tent are flickering at this time, and the remote Qinde has not yet slept, pacing back and forth in the tent. In fact, he received the news of Yeluwolfde's defeat this afternoon, but he did not announce it, which would only demoralize the soldiers of the Southern Expedition.

Is it advance or retreat? He has been thinking about this question for a long time, and it would be better if he didn't set off, then the victory or defeat would be mixed, and the prestige of Yelu Wolf would be lowered, which would be more conducive to his own power. But now that the arrow is on the bow, he has won a small victory, defeated the department and the department, and captured a lot, who can say the words of retreat, he doesn't have to think about it, he knows what the reaction will be when the generals hear this.

"The news must be announced! Wolves and Brie came to make meritorious contributions, and increased their troops by 10,000, and this battle must not be lost! As for Uda, he can only be wronged first. Haruka Chende stood abruptly, he made up his mind, and muttered to himself.

Yao Yuan Qinde immediately sent the generals to discuss the battle plan, and then ordered the herald to send a letter to Handeng and Na Yu overnight, ordering them to intensify the offensive and put pressure on Turus. After readjusting the deployment, Yao Yuan Qinde simply suspended his southward movement and waited for Yelu Wolf and Brie to lead the follow-up troops to arrive.

The Tulu Bu clan chief Han Deng and the Pin tribe chief Na blocked the combined army, plus a total of 15,000 cavalry in the later period, and after the defeat and the tribe followed south, they set up a large camp thirty miles northwest of the royal city. It's not that they don't want to get close to the royal city, but they have elite troops stationed outside the city and the headquarters of King Xi, and if they want to attack the city, they have to drive away the troops outside the city first, but this is not an easy task.

In the early morning of this day, they received the Khan's military order, and after a little discussion, they both thought that although the royal city of Turus was not completed, but the troops were still sufficient, so they decided to avoid the real attack and turn west, and divided their troops to attack the three major tribes of Xie Ra, Sunu and Qihekun more than 20 miles west of the royal city.

After his departure, the Yuan Qi Folding Department of Xie Ra was handed over to his eldest son Ke Zhen to take care of the daily affairs of the clan, and the Ao Lost Department was temporarily led by Sunu's father Keru, while the Qihe Kun of the Duji Department was ordered to stay behind and be responsible for the defense of the Wangcheng Side Ji, with the assistance of Ke Zhen and Keru, a solid and solid camp had been built.

It was originally planned to build a military city here, which could echo the royal city and help each other, but due to the lack of manpower, and the war came, it was changed into a military village. Dazhai covers an area of nearly 300 acres, and the outer circle is all built with tall logs, and military defense facilities such as camp tents, stables, corner towers, and guard towers are also readily available.

Early in the morning of this day, Han Deng left the camp that was blocked and fortified, and led 8,000 troops to attack the Dazhai garrisoned by Qihekun. When Qihekun heard the news, he immediately asked the soldiers to light three beacon fires, so that when the royal city saw it, he could send scouts to inspect it, and at the same time, he personally went to the wall to direct the battle.

Looking at this kind of strong camp, Han Deng was a little helpless, he didn't bring any heavy siege equipment, there were ramsticks and ladders for climbing walls, but that often suffered heavy losses, and he had no choice but to do it, not to mention that the Great Khan would come in person immediately, and he would bring a trebuchet, so he didn't have to fight to the death at the moment. So he lined up five hundred paces away from the camp and ordered his soldiers to come forward and shout and curse.

But he brought a bit more soldiers, although Qihekun also had 7,000 soldiers, but only 2,000 regular soldiers trained by Zhuang Yi, and the rest were troops composed of temporary recruited herdsmen, so they didn't dare to go out of the camp to fight hard with him.

Half an hour later, Handen finally got impatient to wait, and the army marched forward two hundred paces, and sent out the rangers to fire arrows at the wall to cover the battering ram against the door, and at the same time, fifty large wooden ladders came out and set up the wall, and the soldiers shouted with round shields and scimitars, and climbed along the wooden ladders like ants.

The Xi soldiers on the wall of the wall did not show weakness, and the woods and rolling stones fell like rain, and the smacking Khitan soldiers fell from the wooden ladder like dumplings under the oil pot; There is a calm and experienced soldier, very bold, when the wooden ladder is full of Khitan soldiers, the two of them work together with a hook or push forward or pull horizontally, the simple wooden ladder overturned, and suddenly fell a long line.

A rough count of Handen showed that in less than a moment, there were hundreds of casualties, and he couldn't help but feel pain. At this moment, the periphery probe came to report that about 3,000 horsemen had come from the Wangcheng side, and they were killing the rear formation. Han Deng was not surprised when he heard the news, and immediately divided four thousand horsemen to intercept and continue to attack Dazhai.

On the wall, Ke Zhen saw that the men and horses were fighting with the Khitan soldiers in the distance, and he couldn't help but be very excited, and found Qihe Kun and asked to go out of the camp to fight in order to harass the Khitan soldiers. This was originally a good suggestion, but what was the quality of the soldiers, Qi Hekun knew in his heart, so he naturally refused to agree.

Ke Zhen was helpless, he secretly complained in his heart, and was about to turn around and return to the walled wall to command the battle, but he heard Qihe Kun exclaim: "Look...... Our army seems to be showing signs of victory. ”

Ke Zhen covered his forehead with his hand and looked at the battlefield, and sure enough, he saw that the cavalry on the side had rushed to intercept the Khitan soldiers who rushed to intercept him, and rushed straight towards the left of Handen's rear formation. And Handen obviously saw it, and commanded the soldiers and horses to intercept it, and at the same time, ordered some of the soldiers who attacked the village to withdraw to rest and wait.

"Ke Zhen! I will pull out 1,000 of the regular army, and 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers will give you to go out of the camp to fight, and you will accept it when you see it, and you must not fall in love with war, understand? Chehekun said.

"Really...... That's great! I know how to fight ......" Ke Zhen was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and immediately turned around and ran down the wall.

Leading the troops to attack Handen's rear was the Bone Slave, who had been extremely aggrieved these days. First, he was deprived of the right to lead the troops, and then his tribe resisted the attack of the Khitan soldiers alone in the south of Benniu Plain, and the young man was killed by nearly 2,000, suffered huge losses, and his strength was half gone, which made him have nowhere to vent his anger.

But now it is not possible to fight hard, only after meritorious service, after the war can be compensated, and the bone slave is also helpless, fortunately, since the retreat to the royal city, the clansmen and property have been smoothly transferred into the city, without drag, he can fight with all his heart, and these days it has been a small victory.

Today is another opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but it is a pity that Tules only transferred 2,000 regular soldiers and 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and refused to give him more troops, but he still decided to take advantage of this opportunity.

He Gu Nu rushed all the way out of the camp, and the Khitan soldiers rushed to the battle, so they naturally couldn't stop it. Don't seek to break the Chinese army and kill Handeng, as long as you can force Handen back, it is also a credit, and the bone slave thought, suddenly turned around, and killed the thousands of war horses left by the Khitan soldiers who participated in the siege.

The soldiers guarding the horses have always been called "horse stakes", and the number of them is usually not too large, and the bone slaves are too clear. Sure enough, it was just a charge, and they successfully killed a small team that was coming, and those "horse stakes" saw it from a distance and fled in fright.
