"Shaft, Shaft!!!" Since the scout entered the tent of Jerman, he began to hear such curses continuously.

There were people who were quite familiar with Yelumo, and in their impressions, Yelumo had never been so angry, even if he had just experienced such a fiasco under Bianliang City.

The subordinates, who didn't know why the boss was so angry, didn't dare to rush into the tent to inquire, and just when everyone was at a loss, one person stood up and volunteered to enter Yelumo's big tent.

This person is none other than Xiao Wolf, Yelumo's most trusted staff officer.

After Xiao Wolf entered the big tent, he saw that the scout who had just gone in to report the military situation was kneeling and trembling, and the table in front of Yelu Mo was overturned to the ground, and all the things on it were scattered around, which could be described as a mess.

After the scout noticed that Xiao Wolf had come in, he immediately cast a look at him for help, and Xiao Wolf could see from the scout's eyes that he was really frightened, so he immediately waved his hand to let him exit the big tent.

After receiving Xiao Wolf's signal, the scout immediately ran out of the tent as if he had been pardoned, leaving only Xiao Wolf and Yelu Mo in the tent.

At the moment when the scout ran out of the big tent, Yelu Mo naturally noticed Xiao Wolf's arrival, but he was still angry, so he didn't talk to Xiao Wolf.

Xiao Wolf didn't care about Yelumo's attitude, he silently put the table that was overturned on the ground in front of him back in position, and then cleaned up the things that were scattered on the ground before taking a Hu bed and doing it in front of Yelumo.

"Why is Yi Lijin so angry?"

At this moment, Yelu Mo had basically calmed down, and when he heard Xiao Wolf's question, he also knew that this might be a question that everyone else outside the tent wanted to know, so he ordered Xiao Wolf to call all the generals outside the tent in.

When everyone is basically here. Jermo made a startling announcement. That is, the party members who originally contained Li Jiguang's troops in the northwest have been defeated. At this moment, Li Jiguang, who had already freed his hands, was leading his 30,000 elite soldiers to Bianliang City, intending to be the king of Qin.

As soon as this news was announced from Yelumo's mouth, it immediately caused an uproar among the generals below, they didn't expect that Li Jiqian would fail again, not only failed, but it was still at this juncture. Once Li Jiguang, who had freed his hands, returned to Shiqin Wang, the five months of hard work on their side would be in vain.

Not only in vain, according to the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Song army in Bianliang City now. Coupled with the elite soldiers honed in the northwest by Li Jiguang's subordinates, it is even very likely that it is not impossible to directly annihilate everyone here under Bianliang City. It's no wonder that the always elegant Jerman was so furious.

Just when the generals were still discussing this matter, a veteran general suddenly got up and asked Yelu Mo: "Dare to ask Yi Lijin, hasn't this party member always completed the task of dragging Li Jiguang's troops well, and I haven't heard that they have had any defeats, why did they suddenly fail like this, and then let Li Jiguang return to Shiqin Wang?" ”

Hearing the old general's question, the other generals also stopped discussing and looked at Yelumo together, hoping to get an answer.

Everyone wanted to know the answer. Jerumo no longer hid it, and revealed all the facts he had learned from the scouts.

It turned out that Li Jiguang was using spring ploughing to come. The entire party army launched a surprise attack at a time when people's hearts were fluctuating, and after defeating the armies of several tribes, Li Jiguang released the news again.

That is, the Song army at Yanmen Pass had defeated the invading Khitan army, and now it was rushing to the northwest, vowing to raid the hometown of the party.

As soon as this news came out, the party army was even more panicked, and the party soldiers who were already excited had no will to fight at this moment, and many tribes were directly led by the tribal leaders to start a large-scale retreat.

Although Li Jiqian repeatedly stopped it, and claimed that all the news was a lie released by Li Jiguang, in a vain attempt to confuse everyone. However, no one listened to Li Jiqian's words at all, and all those who fled were based on the belief that they would rather believe what they had than what they didn't.

Besides, the siege of Xiazhou lasted for half a year, and no results were obtained, and the grain given by the Liao people had already been eaten, if they didn't go back to grow grain at this time, there would be no food available in the winter, and then they could still count on the Liao people to support again? Many tribal leaders don't think so.

It can be said that Li Jiguang has thoroughly understood all the thoughts of the party, although he was not able to defeat the other party at the first time of the party's siege, so that he could withdraw from the northwest in time, but he finally spent the time to be able to win the party.

After the large-scale retreat of the party's troops began, Li Jiguang immediately began to lead his troops to pursue, breaking the party's tribes one by one, so that even if Li Jiqian returned safely to his original base, he would not be able to wage war again for at least half a year, which also won the time to return to help.

After listening to Yelumo's narration, all the Khitan generals were silent, although they could think that even if the Liao State gave money and grain, Li Jiqian might not be able to take any advantage of Li Jiguang, but they never thought that Li Jiqian would be defeated in the end because of the season.

In fact, this is not the fault of the Liao generals, but because the Liao State has been established for too long, even if the Liao people are from the grassland herdsmen, the country's political system can still adjust the domestic military and peasant relations when the war is launched, so as not to let the country have the dilemma of stagnation of grain production during the war.

However, the Liao people forgot that their side was a country, and the party members were only tribal alliances, and the political system of tribal alliances often caused the interests of the tribes to be higher than the interests of the ethnic groups.

It is not possible to distribute the proportion of labour and the distribution of the fruits of labour as reasonably as in the state.

This also caused that as long as Li Jiguang did not lose too much combat power in the previous battle, once he survived to the tenth point of spring ploughing, the Dangxiang tribe would inevitably retreat back to spring ploughing, otherwise their tribe would have no food in the second half of the year.

Moreover, in the period when the Khitans also had a large number of strong men going out to fight, once the war dragged on long enough, the food in the Khitan would definitely only be able to supply their own needs, and it would be impossible for the party members to count on the Khitans' funding.

After figuring out why the party members dropped the chain at this time, Yelu Mo had to face a very difficult situation, that is, Li Jiguang's reinforcements were coming soon, and it was hopeless to quickly take Bianliang City. But if you retreat, you are really unwilling to die in such a dilemma.

Just when Yelu Mo couldn't make up his mind, the city of Bianliang showed a state that was different from the previous few months. When Zhao Weiji held the Khitan army's attack in the city in a state of almost zero cost, the morale of the entire Song army swelled to the highest point at once.

And at the same time, the news that Li Jiguang defeated the party troops and freed his hands to start reinforcing Bianliang also spread to the capital.

Under the stimulation of this internal and external benefits, the entire Bianliang City swept away the haze of the previous months and regained its vitality.

At this time, Zhao Weiji had already begun to think about how to go out of the city and cooperate with the upcoming Li Jiguang reinforcements to annihilate the Khitan troops.

So he began to do two things in the city, the first thing was to let the workers he brought from Xinhua City to produce cannonballs organize the blacksmiths of the entire Bianliang City to start making cannonballs.

At this time, the cannonballs were still made of the earlier spherical ammunition, which was much easier to produce than the conical shape of the rifle, and could be made by ordinary blacksmiths if only skilled workers were organized.

Another thing is that Zhao Weiji began to organize carpenters to design and build sports cars for the gun body, if you want to go out to fight, the mobility of the gun must be guaranteed.

While doing these two things, Zhao Weiji did not let these generals idle, he asked Tie Zheng to take a group of staff officers and a few generals to study how to combine the rifle troops with other cold weapon troops, so as to be able to effectively resist the Khitan cavalry in the next battle.

Just when the two heavens of ice and fire were present inside and outside Bianliang City, the second news of changing the balance of the battlefield came again, that is, Yang Yanzhao, who had resisted the Liao army in Yanmen Pass for a long time, was not enough to support it after all, Yanmen Pass was lost, and Yang Yanzhao only fled back to the pass with a small number of troops.

At this moment, the Liao army, which had broken through Yanmen Pass, was advancing towards Bianliang City at full speed, hoping to rush to Bianliang City before Li Jiguang's troops and reinforce the Liao army that was still under Bianliang City at this time.

The arrival of this news injected a shot in the arm into the morale of the Liao army, which had already fallen into a trough, and the Liao soldiers once again saw the hope of capturing Bianliang City.

However, the upper echelons of the Liao army, especially Yelumo, had reservations about whether to wait for reinforcements to arrive and launch another attack on Bianliang City.

In Yelumo's mind, it was possible that the siege would be the same as the result last time, and in his heart, he hoped that he would be able to annihilate the main force of the Song army through field battles before attacking the city.

After all, the invincible Khitan army is more effective in the wilderness.

After discussing his ideas with other generals, Yelumo made a decision, that is, to withdraw his troops first and retreat to the vicinity of the Yuanyuan north of the Yellow River.

When the news of the Khitans' retreat reached Bianliang City, Zhao Weiji knew that at this time, he would have to lead his troops to chase him out anyway, otherwise, the territory lost before would basically not be able to be recovered in a short period of time.

After getting in touch with Li Jiguang's troops, Zhao Weiji issued an order to the Song army in the city, that is, to prepare all of them, and then set off to march towards Lanyuan. (To be continued......)
