Late at night, Hubeikou.

The Tang army under Gao Xingzhou was singing and laughing in the Yeyu camp that had just been defeated, and when he was not drunk and homeless, the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang was sitting alone in the imperial tent and pondering on the map.

At the moment, this battle is a bit untenable.

Although in order to keep Shi Jingjiao's power, the second Khitan cavalry of 50,000 people had already arrived in Yunzhou (now Datong), and it only took three days to reach Xinzhou south, although it was not necessarily possible to disperse Zhao Dejun's Youzhou army and Dong Wenqi's Zhenzhou army entrenched in Daizhou, at least they did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

If the second Khitan army continues to move south to Taiyuan and re-establish a balanced confrontation with the Tang army, there will be no problem in military deployment.

However, the current situation in the Central Plains is too chaotic.

If all the warlords were united under the Tang Emperor Li Congke, the Khitan army would not dare to enter the Central Plains at all, but Yelu Deguang went south this time to see that all the warlords under Li Congke had ghosts and different aspirations, and it was impossible to join forces to fight against the Khitan army, so he made a special trip to pick up a bargain.

Who would have thought that these warlords would suddenly join forces at a critical time, and immediately put Yelu Deguang and the Khitan army in danger!

How can this battle be fought? You bite each other for a while, and then join forces to beat me, what kind of trouble are you going to have?

The more Yelu Deguang thought about it, the more wrong it became, it was better to retreat first, and when these Central Plains warlords themselves fought to the death first, and when they were almost consumed, it would not be too late for the Khitan army to go south to pick up the cheap.

It's just that as soon as the Khitan army retreats, can Shi Jingjiao still withstand it and continue to let the Tang Kingdom suffer internal friction in the warlord melee?

As the national policy maker of the Khitan, Yelu Deguang knew very well in his heart that he would never allow the emergence of a powerful and powerful country like the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains in the south that dominated the world more than a hundred years ago!

That would be a catastrophe for the Khitan and other northern nomads!

To fight, or to withdraw, this is a crucial decision!

If you are a little careless, even Yelu Deguang himself can't escape, and he is trapped and dies in the Central Plains!

"Report, Your Majesty, Luoyang Spy."

A wax pill was handed over, and the eunuch beside him immediately took it from the hand of the knight who delivered the letter, and after carefully checking the seal, he knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Yelu:

"Your Majesty, it is indeed news from Eagle 13."

"Read!"

"Yes." The eunuch pinched open the wax pill and pulled out a small note from it, with a total of a few words on it.

"Li Zanhua returned to Beijing via the Bohai Sea."

"What?" Jerod looked up sharply, and his heart was startled.

Tang Emperor Li Congke finally released this trick!

Fighting a war is a war, and winning or losing is only a question of whether the Khitan country benefits or suffers, but Li Zanhua's return to China is a political issue, and Yerod's bald head is a problem.

Anyone can think of this Li Zanhua, whose real name is Yelu Bei, Yelu Deguang's own brother, if he returns to the Khitan, how big a wave will it be, even if he can't grab the throne, there will be countless people to support him, and in the end, the Khitan Kingdom will be divided into two!

No, it must be withdrawn immediately!

"The order, all the old and young baggage, set off overnight, drive into Yangwu Valley, let the army of Yunzhou send 10,000 horsemen, and rush to Ningwu Pass before noon tomorrow to prevent Zhao Ping's sneak attack. Tell Yelu Cha to let him be careful of Zhao Dejun, and send another 5,000 horsemen to garrison Nanshan in Xinzhou and escort the old and young into the valley. ”

"Your Majesty, the King of Jin is here"

"Ignore him. Tomorrow morning, the whole army will pull out the village and retreat to Xinzhou Lao County! ”

"Yes!"

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Yelu Chacha received an order from Yelu Deguang, and immediately sent 5,000 horsemen to Nanshan, and at 4 o'clock in the morning, he received an endless stream of baggage from Taiyuan.

A large number of old and young walked slowly, and by the time dawn came, only half of them had passed Xinzhou.

Liu Zaiming, the commander of the northern camp stationed in Xinzhou City, was pulled to the Xinzhou city wall before he finished urinating when he got up in the morning.

At a glance, hey, the Khitans withdrew? It's all young and old and women? It's all meat?

On the one hand, he immediately asked people to go to Daizhou to report to Zhao Dejun and ask him to help drag down Yelu Chaqi's garrison in Laoxian County, on the other hand, when the gate of Xinzhou City was opened, three thousand silver saddle Khitan straight, two thousand Yizhou cavalry, and six thousand Yizhou foot soldiers rumbled out of Xinzhou City, ready to grab meat to eat.

As soon as the Yizhou soldiers came out, the Khitan old and young people were immediately divided into two sections, and those who had already passed Xinzhou immediately ran forward quickly, and those who had not passed or felt that they couldn't pass had to quickly shrink back. The 5,000 Khitan cavalry was also divided into two groups, one to defend the north and the other to the south.

But Yi Zhoubing didn't pay attention to the past piece of meat at all, and only stared at the back one.

"All the troops forward!"

Liu Zaiming rode on his horse in high spirits, and the spear in his hand was pointed at the more than 2,000 Khitan cavalry in front of him and the tens of thousands of old and young women behind them.

Six thousand foot soldiers lined up in a large straggler phalanx of five hundred men and advanced in a straight line. The spear is like a forest, the sword and shield are like a wall, and with the beat of the drums in the back row, it will be pulled forward heroically.

Every Tang Jun's eyes are red, there are so many supplies, so many women!

What the? And the old and the young? That's garbage, kill it, kill it!

Follow General Liu, just have meat to eat!

Two thousand Yizhou cavalry have gone around to the left, ready to attack directly into the old and young group from the side, and three thousand "silver saddle Khitan straight" are circling on the right side, waiting for the opportunity to rush into the right side, and on the other hand, guarding against the group of more than 2,000 Khitan cavalry behind.

At this time, the Khitan cavalry was a bit difficult to ride a tiger.

The Khitan cavalry mainly attacked, and there was basically no tactics of defense in the wilderness. To say that it is necessary to rush directly into the infantry position in front of it, the infantry position of the Yizhou army is not so easy to rush!

What's more, there are two cavalry next to it, and once the Khitan cavalry launches a charge, they will be finished if they come in from the flank.

I had no choice but to retreat slowly.

But the drumbeat of the Tang Army is beating faster and faster! Thousands of Tang Army foot soldiers have also approached two hundred meters!

The Khitan general who led the army couldn't help it and shouted:

"Wow!"

The Khitan cavalry, which had already lined up, began to charge, rushing towards the spear-lined Tang army infantry formation in front!

At the same time, the three thousand silver saddle Khitan Zhi on the right also ran up, and at the moment when the Khitan army started, they attacked the Khitan cavalry from the side. However, the two thousand Yizhou cavalry on the left ignored these Khitan soldiers, directly bypassed the brigade, and killed the old and young baggage teams behind!

In this batch of cavalry of the Khitan Army, the leader is probably a rookie, and he has already seen the strategy of the Tang Army, but when it really happened, he still panicked.

Hurriedly ordered to divide a thousand people to block the Tang army's Yin'an Khitan Zhi, and five hundred people to chase the Yizhou cavalry, the entire Khitan army camp was in chaos in an instant, and less than eight hundred people rushed into the Tang army's foot pawn camp!

The recruit Danzi met Liu Zaiming, what was the result? It's worrying!

Who is Liu Zaiming? The famous soldier ruffian in the Tang Army, the old fritter!

How many years have the Yizhou soldiers fought with the Khitans, and you Khitans have a few hairs on their buttocks, and they have already figured it out!

The most important thing for the infantry to fight against the cavalry is not to form a group to fight, which can only cause the morale to drop to freezing point when they are hit by people in a row!

The Yizhou soldiers lined up in a straggler formation, with a spearman and a sword and shield soldier in pairs, and there was also a gap of about one and a half meters between each pair for the Khitan cavalry horses to pass.

Cavalry is also a human being, who would have nothing to do but crash into the dense spear array!

Since there is a road ahead, of course it is to run to an empty place, anyway, the saber is so long, and the lives of a large number of foot soldiers on both sides can be harvested, instead of risking their own people to turn on their backs to crash into the flying foot soldiers, it is better to gallop through both of them, and the saber probes down, can't you easily wave those foot soldiers into two sections?

There is a truth that recruits don't understand very well, that is, what the enemy wants you to do, you must not do, even if it looks so good!

Seeing the Khitan cavalry rushing towards and forming pairs of Yizhou foot soldiers, they immediately stopped, both squatted, and the shield soldiers erected a large shield, forming an inclination angle of thirty degrees with the ground, and the two people hid behind the big shield together, and their backs were hard against the shield.

When the Khitan cavalry rushed, the saber hit the big shield, except for a few unlucky eggs who were knocked away like turtles that had been turned over, most of them could only draw a scratch, and at most they hit the Tang soldiers behind the big shield and spit blood.

As long as the turtle shell is not knocked over, the spearmen in the Tang Army duo will have something to do!

What for? Shoot the spear horizontally and trip the horse's leg!

I saw a sound on the ground, and the first Khitan cavalry fell down, followed by the second, and then in the Tang army's infantry formation, a large-scale people began to roll over on their horses!

That's not all, the notorious Tang Army's sharp knife troops, the 3,000 silver saddle Khitan straight, have collided head-on with the 1,000 Khitan soldiers who came out to resist! Another 2,000-strong cavalry of the Yizhou Army also rushed into the Khitan old and young formation to defend the camp.
