When Xijing stayed behind Yelu Daqing and retreated all the way, and finally retreated to Datong City, there were less than 10,000 of the 25,000 troops left, plus the 10,000 troops left in Datong City, and now he still has 20,000 troops in his hands. With the high walls of the city, it is not difficult to block the black spur Mali for a while.

But how long it can last, Yelu Daqing himself doesn't dare to think.

The Liao State is now almost divided up, and those who are still carrying the banner of the Liao Army have entered the Xijing Road with 20,000 or 30,000.

The morale in the city is extremely low, and the shadow of the dead country is shrouded in the hearts of everyone.

In the original history, there was a Yelu stone, which continued the national honor of the Liao State for nearly a hundred years, but it is a pity that Yelu Daqing is not a Yelu stone.

What's more, even the original Yelu Dashi was also defeated again and again, and finally had to lead the remnants to flee west, and now Yelu Dashi is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he doesn't know where he is nesting, and he has moved west with the remnants of the Liao army.

The atmosphere of yin gloom permeated the city of Datong, the soldiers had no intention of fighting at all, but there was no way to escape, the territory of the Liao State was tens of thousands of miles, but now except for Datong City, there was no place for them.

In particular, the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi was captured by the black spur Mali, and he repeatedly came to persuade him to surrender, which was a fatal blow to the morale of the Liao army. Yelu Daqing can also bring back 10,000 remnants, which is already very capable.

Yelu Daqing himself understands that the Liao State is finished, but he is not willing to surrender to the Spur Mali, it is very simple, now whether it is the Jin State or the Song State, the strength is much stronger than the Spur Mali, even if he wants to take refuge, Yelu Daqing will choose the Song State or the Jin State, not the Spur Mali.

Therefore, although Spur Mari used Yelu Yanxi to persuade him to surrender, Yelu Daqing still made a final stubborn resistance.

The Ukrainian spur Mari led 30,000 troops to storm Datong City, and seeing that there was no hope of breaking the city for a while, he began to plunder the surrounding states and counties of Datong.

At this time, Zhe Keshi led an army of 40,000 people to the north, and it was proved that there would be no shortage of leading parties in any country and in any country.

Moreover, after Yelu Minghu's holy decree came to Xijing Road, it became even more reasonable for the party to lead the way. After passing through Huairen, Zhi Keshi never encountered any resistance, and many local officials of the Liao State still adhered to the will of Lu Ye Minghu and prepared to meet the Song army in advance; These officials are like a mirror in their hearts, looking at the future, now that the Song army is the strongest, since the Song army is here, it is almost a sure thing that Xijing Road will be classified as the territory of the Song State in the future; Since sooner or later they have to be Song ministers, it is naturally better to be sooner rather than later, with the will of the Yelu Dynasty, they do not have to bear any moral condemnation if they are ordered to vote for the Song Dynasty.

In this way, the speed of Zhe Keshi has been accelerated a lot, but this is not enough, after receiving a report from the front, Wu Thorn Mari is plundering the surrounding states and counties of Datong, and Zhe Keshi is even more anxious; Now the two capitals in the southwest of Liao are already in the Great Song Dynasty, and the black spurs are looting around Datong, isn't this equivalent to robbing the Great Song Dynasty?

He asked Miao Zhu to lead 20,000 infantry to move slowly, and he flew to Datong City with 20,000 cavalry.

Spur Mari didn't expect Zhe Keshi to come so quickly, he plundered a lot of things, and at this time he became a burden, and he was reluctant to lose it, how could he deal with Zhe Keshi's attack if he didn't lose it?

After the Tanma reported that the Song army had only arrived at two horses, the Spur Mari was determined to eat the 20,000 Song first, and he let in the transfer of the looted property to Baishan Mountain, preparing to use the terrain here to meet the attack.

Baishan Mountain is very famous, located in the east of Datong City about ten miles, west of the Yuhe, east of Cailiang Mountain; In the sixth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Han Wangxin rebelled in the Datong area and colluded with the Xiongnu to attack Taiyuan. Liu Bang personally led an army of 320,000 to meet the Xiongnu, first winning at the copper roller, and then taking advantage of the victory to pursue until the Loufu area.

Although the Han army was "the twelfth or thirteenth of the fallen fingers", but seeing that the Huns only had old and weak soldiers, they were eager to win, so they ignored the persuasion and obstruction of Liu Jing, the outpost detective, and chased them to Datong Bai Mountain, and as a result, they fell into the plan of the Huns to lure the soldiers.

Liu Bang had just led his troops to Baishan Mountain, and Mao Dunshan suddenly led 400,000 iron cavalry ambushes to surround the Han army. The Xiongnu besieged Baishan Mountain for seven nights, and the Han army ran out of food and water, which was very dangerous.

Thanks to the strategist Chen Ping's advice to Liu Bang, he sent a lot of money and beautiful women to Mao Dun Shan Yu's wife, and asked the messenger to say to the Yan family: "If Shan Yu continues to besiege, the Han Dynasty will give the beauty to Shan Yu, and at that time only your position will not be kept." ”

After accepting the bribe, Mao Dunshan tried his best to say that Mao Dunshan Yu withdrew the army, and Mao Dunshan heard that the reinforcements of the Han army were about to arrive, so he had to relieve the siege and withdraw the troops, and Han Gaozu and the 320,000 army survived.

Spur Mali had also heard the story of Han Gaozu being besieged, but he didn't care, he had more than 10,000 troops than Zhe Keshi, and only Bai Mountain, which was the most conducive to defense around Datong Mansion, he grabbed too many things, and there must be a place conducive to defense, so that he could attack and retreat.

However, what Spur Mari didn't expect was that after the 20,000 people entered the horse and arrived in Datong City, they did not immediately attack, and they set up camp twenty miles to the north, blocking the way for Spur Mali to go north.

On the top of Bai Mountain, Wu Thorn Mari hurriedly found Chi Tieer, Bal Jin Tie, and Hu Geru to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as he entered the big tent and sat down, Spur Mari hurriedly said: "Zhe Keshi led his troops to camp in the north, and his intention was clearly to trap us, what good countermeasures do you have?" ”

Wu Thorn Mali's eldest son, Di Gulie, immediately preemptively said: "Zhe Keshi only has 20,000 enters, I'm afraid he won't succeed?" Let's kill him immediately and destroy him, and at that time, the 20,000 Song troops behind will definitely not dare to come again, and we can attack Datong City with peace of mind. ”

Chi Tie'er shook his head and said: "Zhe Keshi blocked our white spoon retreat, he must have wanted to wait for the 20,000 infantry behind to arrive, at this time we will attack him, he is estimated that he will not respond, if we attack his camp, there is no chance of victory; This trick is very poisonous, if we ignore him and retreat with his belongings, he will definitely come to attack, unless we drop the looted property, otherwise we can't avoid his pursuit with these burdens. This is tantamount to trapping us, and when the 20,000 infantry behind arrive, he will attack us with superior forces. ”

Listening to Chi Tie'er's words, Spur Mari frowned, if he didn't steal a large amount of property, it would not be a problem for him to withdraw more than 30,000 horses, but with so many things, it would be difficult to deal with it when he encountered an attack by Zhe Keshi.

Spur Mari asked in a deep voice: "Zhe Keshi is very cunning, what can you do to deal with it?" ”

Bal Jin Tie said: "Let's do this, ignore the fold first, leave more than 10,000 troops to hold Baishan Mountain, contain the fold and adapt, and the remaining 20,000 enter the horse and quickly go south, attacking the 20,000 Song army infantry who are hurrying over, as long as the 20,000 infantry can be defeated, the plan of the fold can be defeated." ”

Chi Tie'er also said: "This is a good idea, and I am also in favor of doing it." ”

Indeed, instead of attacking the camp of the discount, it is better to suddenly send troops south to attack the infantry of 20,000 who rushed in, the number of entries is similar, the cavalry has an advantage over the infantry, and the chance of defeating the infantry of the 20,000 Song army is very large.

Spur Mari immediately agreed to the plan. and personally led 20,000 horses to quickly rush south.

At this time, Miao Zhu's 20,000 infantry were still one hundred and seventy miles away from Datong, and looking at the slow military formation, Miao Zhu couldn't help but feel very angry in his heart.

When he opened from the side of the Wang Shaoxi River, he was the vanguard, destroying the city and pulling out the fortress like a raging fire, when did he have such a nest, and now he is nesting behind with the infantry, what is the difference between him and a baggage officer? When the 20,000 infantry arrived in Datong, I was afraid that there would not be a single hair left.

Miao Zhu fought fiercely, but Xing Ge was more impulsive, the last time he fought in Juyanhai, after causing heavy casualties due to carelessness, he plundered and killed indiscriminately, and nearly half of the people in Juyan City were slaughtered; Although Yang Yi tried his best to protect him, he could only keep him from being dismissed from his military position.

This time in the northern expedition to Xijing Road, Zhang Qi appointed him as a deputy general, which was really in mind of the original 1 life, but in view of his impulsive character, the prestige of Zhe Keshi was not enough to restrain this wolf, where did he dare to let him be the vanguard again?

In this way, Miao Zhu, who fought fiercely, became a "baggage officer", at least Miao Zhu himself thought so.

Zhi Keshi also knew the xing character of this guy, and after he blocked the route of the northern escape of the black spur Mali, he immediately sent in to inform Miao Zhu and asked him to speed up the rush to Baishan Mountain and encircle and annihilate the black spur Mali together; At this moment, General Miao's heart was finally refreshed, and he kept urging the soldiers to leave quickly.

But even if the infantry used their strength, it could only be regarded as turtle speed compared to the cavalry, so Miao Zhu's cool strength was not long exhausted, and he rode forward and backward, scolding those backward soldiers from time to time, and even giving them a whip.

If he didn't get up, Miao Zhu was ruthless, and let 5,000 people leave the escort logistics, and he took 15,000 into the horse to carry three rations, and rushed forward lightly, and the speed was finally a lot faster.

Seven hours and seventy miles are definitely a speed for the infantry. When he came to a place called Huangnigou, the soldiers were so tired that Miao Zhu had to order a rest.

However, at this moment, the scouts in front reported that 20,000 cavalry from the Black Thorn Mali rushed in, less than thirty miles away from the Yellow Nigou.

This news not only did not surprise Miao Zhu, but made him laugh happily, Cangyao o, earth o, you care too much for me Miao Zhu!

Of course, Miao Zhu is just a little more violent, but he is not a fool, 15,000 light infantry against 20,000 cavalry, if he fights on the plains, it is difficult to win; Even if you win, it's only a small victory at most, don't beat you, retreat is always not a problem, can you still catch up with four legs in the house?

The shallow stream of Huangnigou was quickly used by him, don't worry, the Miao army did not want to use Huangnigou to block the Spur Mali, but to use this shallow room to stabilize the speed of the Spur Mali's escape.

General Miao has a big appetite, and he plans to swallow the 20,000 cavalry of Wuspur Mali in one gulp.

Although he had only fifteen thousand light infantry.

However, General Miao is so confident.
