"I'll go! That's true! ”

Huo Wangxi stared carefully for a while when he heard this, and sure enough, some of the Liao army couldn't stand the Tietong array in front of them, and were retreating step by step.

Staff: "My lord, what should I do?" Just let them go? ”

Huo Wangxi: "No! It's not easy to put on a formation, how can they get out so easily! Pass the order, shrink the formation immediately, and don't let those guys trapped in it run! ”

Staff: "Yes!" ”

The drumbeat of the Song army suddenly became dense, and the Song army, which was in the stalemate of the battlefield, heard the sound for a while, and only then slowly moved closer to the center with their own barrel array under the control of their respective squad leaders. This has been going on for a while, both the Song army and the Liao army are already tired, and the sound of the drums not only invigorates the Song army, but also wakes up the Liao army.

However, for the Liao army, it is better that this god is still not awake, and if he does not wake up, he can at least be able to fight against the Song army. Although two or three thousand compatriots were unconsciously left behind in this hourly time, at least they could still hold on with their heads covered and their brains covered. But this awakening was not the case, and when he turned his head to see that he didn't know when he had fallen into the shameless iron wall of the Song army, especially after they had organized several breakthroughs and failed, their morale plummeted in an instant.

On the side of the Liao army, Xiao Xunbu's personal guards rode on horses, supported their necks, and dutifully stared at the battlefield situation for his boss.

"Detail, come and see, this situation doesn't seem to be quite right!" Xiao Xunbu's personal guards saw that Song Jun had made a new move, and hurriedly shouted to Xiao Xunbu, who was sitting on the ground and taking a nap.

When Xiao Xunbu heard this, he immediately turned over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Guard: "Detailed, you see that it has been fighting for almost an hour, and the Song army doesn't seem to have decreased much." Moreover, now they seem to surround our soldiers, which is really strange! ”

Xiao Xunbu: "How is it possible? There are more of us than them, so let's surround them! ”

Guard: "You're right!" There are more of us than them, and they have surrounded them outside, but they have also wrapped some of our people in the middle. ”

Xiao Xunbu: "Isn't this better!" It is just right to attack inside and outside and take down the Song army in one fell swoop. Go and beat the drum for Ben Shen and cheer up the soldiers! ”

The guards didn't listen to him, and politely refused: "Detailed, you better take a look and talk about it!" ”

Xiao Xunbu had no choice but to observe the battlefield in person, and at a cursory glance, the battlefield situation seemed to be favorable to him. Although it seems that his soldiers have decreased, there are no immortals in war, as long as he can win the battle. Now it seems that his soldiers have completed the division and encirclement of the Song army, and they are also very evenly and finely divided, which is a very ideal battle situation.

However, after he continued to stare for a while, he also realized that something was indeed wrong. The division was divided, and the siege was surrounded, but it was their own soldiers who kept falling. And those Song soldiers hid in the shield, poked a few times from time to time, and put a few cold arrows from time to time, even if some were injured by their own soldiers, they were quickly rescued by the people in the circle, and tied a white cloth on the wound, obviously did not do much of this.

"This Song army is really a bit evil! It's a bit like the trapping camp of the Three Kingdoms. Xiao Xunbu touched his chin and muttered to himself.

His personal guards heard his words, and then his words said: "Detail, don't say it, this group of Song Jun is really a bit like that, they can fight with us for so long without falling behind, it seems that they will pay for a while and a half." The little one has been fighting for so long, and the soldiers are also very tired, why don't you withdraw the troops first, rest for a while, and then fight? ”

"No way!" Xiao Xunbu thought for a moment and rejected the request of the guards: "You see, some of our soldiers have fallen into the encirclement of the Song army, and if they don't defeat the Song army in one fell swoop at this time, they won't be able to get out." ”

Guard: "It's still detailed and wise!" The little ones are very admirable! ”

Xiao Xunbu: "Don't put this trick aside, hurry up and arrange drumming, drum morale for the soldiers, and strive to take down the Song army as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to give the Queen Mother an errand when I go back today." ”

"Whoa!"

So, not long after the drum beat of the Song army, the Liao army was not willing to be defeated, and beat the drum of the decisive battle. The two armies of Song and Liao, which were already weak, also mustered up the strength to eat milk again and greeted each other vigorously......

At the beginning, the Liao army who stayed on the periphery was still working hard to fight the Song army, but when he saw his brothers who were trapped in it fall one by one, his heart gradually sprouted a retreat.

Of course, now they are still just retreating, and have not yet evolved into action.

After another half an hour, there was not much left of the Liao army in the Song army's formation, and the formation changed again, and there seemed to be a counter-encirclement trend, which triggered the switch of the Liao army's retreat.

In the face of the sudden rout, Xiao Xunbu, who thought he was going to win just now, didn't react, and could only sigh that this change in painting style was a bit overwhelming!

In short, Xiao Xunbu and his personal guards were dragged backwards by less than 5,000 routs, although they were not to the point of losing their armor, but they were not much better. Fortunately, they didn't have so much burden on them, and they ran much faster than the heavily armed Song army.

When Huo Wangxi's staff officer saw this, he said to him: "Lord Commander, our soldiers are tired from fighting for so long, so it's better for Mingjin to withdraw his troops, don't chase anymore, right?" ”

Huo Wangxi smiled obscenely: "How can you not chase such a good opportunity to beat the water dogs!" But our brethren are indeed tired, so let them come back and rest, and this envoy will send our cavalry to chase after them. ”

"Cavalry?" The staff officer was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean those scouts?" There are only 400 of them, will it be too little? The subordinates look at the Liao army, there will be at least more than 3,000 people! ”

Huo Wangxi: "What are you afraid of?" Are they still afraid of the two legs of the Liao army? Let them rush up at once, and give me a chase all the way to the land of five miles. ”

Soon, the Song army camp also called in the gold to withdraw its troops, and the Liao army was greatly relieved to see the steel torrent behind them and the tide receded, and was about to rest for a while, but saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the Song army camp.

As a country that started with cavalry, it naturally understands what it means for the other party to have cavalry at this time, so without saying a word, run, brother!

At this time, the situation of the Liao army is really in line with the idiom of throwing away the armor, everyone does not ask themselves to run the fastest, but at least they can't be at the bottom, at this time they are still holding weapons or something, then they can only be described as stupid, this kind of person deserves to die!

"Hurry, hurry! Stop the soldiers and tell them not to run away, there are not many cavalry in the Song army, so everyone doesn't have to be afraid of them. Xiao Xunbu is a little reckless, but he is definitely not in the ranks of fools, looking at the scale of the cavalry of the Song army, he decisively issued an extremely correct order.

It's a pity that he used to fight a lot of downwind battles, and he didn't know that there was an idiom called a thousand miles of collapse. A demoralized army could not be stopped by a few of his guards killing a few deserters, which would only speed up the rout.

It can be seen that a good team must not only have a wise leader, but also a group of qualified team members!

There is nothing to say about the next battle situation, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Qinglong 4th Army, it is rare to participate in a battle as a cavalry force, and they all mustered up their strength to chase the fleeing Liao army, until they chased out the five miles stipulated by Huo Wangxi, and then turned back. In just these five miles, the Liao army lost half of its brothers, and this one-sided slaughter was much faster than the confrontation with the Song army.

When the Song army retreated, Xiao Xunbu took a lot of effort to gather the defeated army, thinking about it, when he came, 10,000 high-spirited troops, and then look at the now, more than a thousand panicked remnants, really want to cry without tears. Thanks to the Song army, he didn't chase all the way, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't know if he could keep it. This is not that Huo Wangxi is benevolent, but that he is worried that the Liao army will have other followers.

"Is it because my life is bad? Why can't God just give me my satisfaction? Or was it because he collaborated with the Queen Mother to make the emperor unhappy? 50,000 warriors, 50,000! It's only been a few battles, why was it gone......"

At this moment, Xiao Xunbu felt that his entire outlook on life was not good.

At dusk, Xiao Xunbu returned to the Chinese army camp with the few remaining remnants, it was not that he didn't think about avoiding punishment, but where could a person of his status hide?

Back at the camp, Xiao Xunbu handed over the army to his personal guards, and he himself consciously walked to Xiao Yunjin's tent and knelt.

Xiao Yunjin also heard the movement of them returning to the camp, so he said to Yelu Sanyan: "You go and see if the king of the North Courtyard has come back?" If so, call him to the mourners! ”

Yelu nodded and opened the tent and was about to go out, when he almost stepped on Xiao Xunbu, who was kneeling, but fortunately he closed his feet in time, and said in surprise: "King Xiao, what are you doing?" Why are you kneeling here? The Queen Mother is looking for you! ”

Xiao Xunbu followed him in, and knelt down in front of Xiao Yunjin without saying a word.

When Xiao Yunjin saw his appearance, his face turned black all of a sudden, and he asked suspiciously, "You won't lose the battle again, will you?" ”

Xiao Xunbu lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "The minister is guilty!" ”

"You've really lost the battle!" Xiao Yun sat up from the couch suddenly, kicked Xiao Xunbu down, and roared angrily: "You are really a pig's brain, the mourning family has repeatedly explained, let you be careful, don't fall into the trap of those cunning Song Jun, you are still being played with by others, you are really a shame for the mourning family!" ”

Xiao Xunbu got up and continued to kneel, and said weakly: "Queen Mother, the criminal minister didn't fall into the trap this time......"

"Didn't fall into the trap?" Xiao Yunjin was furious, kicked him hard, and asked, "If you didn't fall into the trap, why did you still lose the battle?" ”

Xiao Xunbu said aggrievedly: "Queen Mother, the sinner doesn't dare to lie to you!" This time, the Song army really didn't play tricks, so they sent more than 5,000 people to fight us......"

"Five thousand!" Xiao Yunjin screamed again: "If you remember correctly, you brought more than 10,000 people with you!" Don't tell the mourning family, we have more than 10,000 warriors in Daliao, but there are 5,000 people in the Song army? ”

Xiao Xunbu nodded silently again.

"It can't be!" Xiao Yunjin screamed again: "It must be that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, right?" ”

"That's right! It must be so! Let you be greedy for life and fear of death, let you be greedy for life and afraid of death......" Xiao Xunbu didn't come to defend himself, Xiao Yunjin made a decision for him, and kicked him all over the house.

Fortunately, Yelu Sanyan next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Xiao Yunjin and asked him to avoid becoming the first minister of Liao to be kicked to death.

Xiao Yunjin's exercise, his face was drenched in sweat, thanks to the fact that the amount of exercise is not low, otherwise he might have died of exhaustion if he didn't kick others to death. Yelu was beside her thoughtfully fanning her fan, feeding tea, and persuading her with kind words, which slowly calmed down her anger.

"Let's talk about it! What the hell is going on today? Xiao Yunjin cleaned up his appearance and asked again.

"This ...... Actually......" Xiao Xunbu said hesitantly: "The criminals don't know what is going on, we are twice as many as them, and we have surrounded them, but it was our people who died in the fight, and the Song army did not die much." After fighting for more than an hour in total, our soldiers lost more than half of them unconsciously, plus some were killed by the crossbow arrows of the Song army when they charged before, only about 3,000 people remained, and their morale was completely lost, so the guilty minister had to retreat...... As a result, they were chased and killed by the young cavalry of the Song army, and now there are more than 1,000 people left. The criminal admits that he lost the battle, but we are really not greedy for life or afraid of death! Our Daliao warriors are not greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Yelu Sanyan also helped to say good things beside him: "Queen Mother, in history, there are only a handful of so many elite troops who can withstand thirty percent of losses without being defeated. It can be seen that although King Xiao lost this battle, he is indeed very brave, so you can forgive him again! (To be continued.) )
