It turns out that Yelu Yanxi is a fool, if two days ago, he directly cut down the black spur Mali, and then swallowed the enemy with 300,000 troops, it would have been an easy matter.

But he just gave Spur Mari two days, so he said that he was constantly interrupted and suffered from it.

What can you do in two days?

Huo Qubing can break three Xiongnu tribes in a row.

Cao Cao can turn defeat into victory and destroy Yuan Shao.

Li Shimin can launch a Xuanwumen Rebellion.

No matter how bad Spur Mali is, two days is enough time to do a lot of things.

The Assassin Mali first asked people to disguise themselves as the army under the jurisdiction of the Commandery, and created a momentum near the Wugu Department on the west side of the Jinshan (Great Khing'an Mountains) to attract the Khitan army, and then the old and weak women and children of the tribe fled to the northwest of the Troubled River overnight.

Yelu Yanxi thought that he had found the trace of Chang Shidi, and with Spur Mari following him honestly, he didn't notice the small movements of Spur Mari behind his back for a while.

It was easy for the people on horseback to move, and when the old and weak women and children of the enemy's martyrs disappeared into the vast grassland, the spur Mali suddenly led his soldiers to leave the Khitan army.

Before leaving, he also broke out, broke the three Khitan camps in a row, seized countless grains, grasses and weapons, and then fled by night.

According to Chi Tie'er's proposal, Wu Thorn Mali did not lead his army to join the old, weak, women and children of his tribe at the Tutan River, which would only lead the Khitan army away, so they went south instead.

The enemy martyr department was originally a large clan in the north of the Liao State, with a strength of nearly 30,000, except for six or seven thousand to protect the old and weak women and children to avoid the difficult river, the rest of the 20,000 horses all followed the Wuspur Mali to the south, making a move to attack Shangjing;

Moreover, they went all the way to the south, and they also preached Yelu Yanxi's plot to annex various tribes all the way, which made the various small tribes suspicious and uncertain.

When Yelu Yanxi learned of what had happened, he was furious, and even scolded Yeluchun and took back the title of King Yeluchun Zheng. was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Zhangsheng Army, all because Yeluchun was the first to come out to dissuade him two days ago, otherwise the spur Mari would have died at that time, where would it be his turn to make trouble?

This punishment is not insignificant, and the root cause of it is investigated. It is not only the fault of Yeluchun who came forward to dissuade him this time.

Last time, the commander-in-chief besieged Beijing. Yelu Chun first quelled the rebellion between the Min King Yelu Weizhong and the Zuozhong Cheng Yelu Zhangnu, and then won a great victory over Chang Zhidi in Shangjing.

Moreover, Yelu Chun has always had a good name, and his reputation is even higher than that of Yelu Yanxi;

In addition, when Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne, he was the son of Yelu and Lu Hu, the new king of Wei. The grandson of Liao Xingzong, to Yelu Yanxi, who lacks prestige, Yelu Chun himself is a great threat.

This time, Ye Luchun was punished so heavily, and there was no intention to use the topic to play.

Ye Luchun couldn't resist, and probably didn't think about resisting. The problem is that after punishing Yeluchun, everything is not all right. Say a thousand, say 10,000, the enemy martyrs are not against it, but also against it, what should I do now?

Yelu Yanxi drove the expedition in person and brought out most of the Liao army, although it is not said that there is no fortification near the capital, but the troops are already very thin, and the defense may not be a problem. But it would be wishful thinking to rely on Shangjing's forces to exterminate the Black Thorn Mali.

If the 20,000 horses of the Spur Mali are allowed to destroy everywhere behind their backs, what will happen to the logistics supply of the 300,000-strong army?

Yelu Yanxi had no second choice, the logistics supply was cut off, and he could only retreat. Let's clean up the spurs first.

However, as soon as he ordered the withdrawal of his troops, the ghost-like Chang Territory appeared, and his 60,000 troops had been reduced to zero and hidden in the reckless jungle of Jinshan. But every move of Yelu Yanxi's 300,000-strong army was under his surveillance.

No, Yelu Yanxi withdrew his troops. He was like a wolf that smelled blood, quietly appearing behind Yelu Yanxi.

The Divination Department is also known as the Tatar Department, the totem they worship is the wolf, and on the banner at the bottom of the long jurisdiction, it is embroidered with a white wolf king who looks up to the sky and roars, and the hideous appearance makes Yelu Yanxi unforgettable for life.

In the Privy Council in Tokyo, the atmosphere seemed a little solemn, Yang Yi and Xu Jiang sat next to each other, staring at the map of the Western Regions on the table, both of them frowning.

Yang Yi rushed back to the capital from Dezhou, and he didn't even return home, so he came directly to the Privy Council, and it happened that Ma Hanqing was reporting the battle situation in the Western Regions to General Xu, so he sat down and listened together.

"Following the Battle of Bafeng Mountain, after the loss of 7,000 men and horses of the Achai Division, Ackmore's tactics became extremely flexible, tens of thousands of troops were divided and combined, sometimes they gathered troops to destroy one group, and sometimes they divided their troops to attack everywhere, except for the Uighurs of Xizhou, all the divisions suffered heavy losses, and the 9,000 men and horses of the Tuosi Ma Department were almost completely wiped out on the north bank of the Jimo River;

The remnants of the Yellow Head Uighurs, the Qiangtang Division, and the Caotou Tatars were also lost more than half, and the general led our Song army of 20,000 horses and horses to fight with Akmore at the Mamang Mountain east of Yochang City.

Fortunately, the flintlock volley did not require too precise aiming, and the general ordered a non-stop volley to the thickest part of the yellow dust, which caused great damage to the Black Khan's army, and Akmor had scruples and did not dare to invest all his troops, and both sides lost nearly 1,000 men and horses in this battle.

The general then gathered the remnants of the army, and in view of the low morale under the successive defeats, he had to order the temporary withdrawal of the army and return to the east, and now Acmore pursued all the way, constantly harassing;

Moreover, Akmor deliberately avoided our army, and launched an attack on the remnants of the various divisions, which had already suffered heavy casualties, and at this time they had no intention of fighting, and immediately collapsed when attacked. ”

Yang Yi gritted his teeth tightly and repeatedly warned himself that if he wanted to believe in Chong Jianzhong, he must believe him, he could not be defeated like this, absolutely impossible.

Although Yang Yi was also feeling a chill in his heart, until the last moment, what else could he do except choose to believe in Chong Jianzhong?

At the beginning, when Chong Jianzhong divided the coalition forces of each ministry into seven routes and marched side by side, Yang Yi could understand that he must have wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the various departments;

But now, it seems that the construction of the building is too much, under the defeat of the coalition forces of various ministries, it will inevitably affect the morale of the Song army, and this kind of construction chooses to withdraw the army at this time, it is already good to keep the 20,000 Song army from collapsing, how can it still ensure that the morale does not fall?

The staff hall transmits the message through the carrier pigeon, and the information that can be transmitted back is limited, and it is difficult to know the details of the current Western Regions comprehensively, and it is not excluded that there are still backers in the construction of the species.

But Yang Yi estimated with his battlefield experience that the results were very frustrating.

Because the key to fighting with soldiers is morale, and without morale, no matter how good the equipment is, it is a joke.

Things have come to this point, it is extremely difficult to keep morale, morale is low, and it is already good that the 20,000 Great Song Dynasty can be safely withdrawn in the middle of the building, how can you still fight back?

If this Western Expedition ends here, it will give Hassan the confidence to call the Great Song Dynasty, how to force him to bow his head, and how to end the war in the Western Regions in a short period of time?

Don't think about it, soon Yang Yi will be pushed to the forefront and become the target of attack by hundreds of officials, and he can't refute half a sentence, it was he who supported Chong Jianzhong at the beginning, and it was he who advocated a war in the Western Regions.

Now the situation of the Western Expedition seems to have proved that he is wrong, and if he is wrong, he must be held responsible, and no one can save him.
