Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to retreat, but at this time, it was not easy to retreat, and more than 20,000 obstruction cavalry quickly detoured from both sides and surrounded Zhao Kuangyin's troops.

Zhao Kuangyin saw that he was surrounded and knew that his life was over, so he settled down and fought to the death. He ordered the whole army to shrink, gathered strength, and planned to fight the enemy to the death.

The battlefield situation has been quite clear, Zhao Kuangyin's troops are trapped under the siege of nearly 40,000 enemy troops, and it is only a matter of time before the whole army is annihilated.

Heaven once again favored Zhao Kuangyin, just in despair, from Lingzhou to the west of the training department interspersed to the south of the battlefield of the Baiting River, originally wanted to go south according to Yunyang's request, but learned from the herdsmen that there was an army fighting in the upper reaches of the Baiting River, so his mind moved, thinking that the remnants of the Obstruction Army that Yunyang said had arrived before himself, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he ordered the whole army to pursue north.

happened to meet Zhao Kuangyin's troops at the point of life and death, Xiang Xun immediately led the whole army to attack the Yelu Mo division in the south of the battlefield.

Yeluma has experienced too many mood changes in just a short period of time, from the great urgency that was intercepted by Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning, to the great joy of blocking the arrival of reinforcements, and now it has become a big surprise.

He originally only had more than 10,000 defeated soldiers, and he had already lost a lot in the fight with Zhao Kuangyin, but now how could he stop Xiang Xun's 20,000 forbidden troops from attacking from behind? Jerumah had been accustomed to retreating since this battle, and he immediately ordered a retreat to the west.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was lucky enough to get out of the predicament, launched a counterattack against the blocking troops on both sides with all his might.

Yeluma only cared about retreating, so that the more than 20,000 obstruction troops surrounding Zhao Kuangyin's troops were firmly stuck by the counterattacking Zhao Kuangyin troops, and Xiang Xun thus surrounded the obstruction army.

But the Blockade Army is cavalry after all. Although it was defeated and retreated by the Ming army, it was indeed a difficult bone to gnaw on for the Zhou army, which was mixed with horses and horses. More than 20,000 obstruction troops resisted the attack of more than 30,000 people from Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin, but they still occupied the initiative on the battlefield.

It's a pity that the Obstruction Army is not as knowledgeable about current affairs as Yeluma, and they think that they have gotten rid of the pursuit of the Ming army, but they don't know that Xu Shouren's special combat army has reached more than ten miles south of the battlefield.

When the scout told Xu Shouren that the enemy army was fighting with the Zhou army in the front, Xu Shouren repeated his old trick and did not kill directly to the battlefield, but made the special operations army detour on both sides. It was only after a detour back to the north of the battlefield that he gave the order to charge south.

Nearly 30,000 cavalry of the Special Warfare Army swept the entire battlefield like lightning, and Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin saw the opportunity quickly. The forbidden army under his command quickly shrank into a group, allowing the special operations army to repeatedly plow the formation of the obstruction army in the north and south like a sieve.

After plowing three times, the special operations army gradually stopped, and at this time. Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin ordered the forbidden army to begin to clear out the scattered obstruction army.

This battle. Except for Jerumoth, who slipped away quickly and fled westward with thousands of men, none of the rest of the Hinder army escaped and was completely annihilated.

The armies of the Ming and Zhou triumphantly joined forces south of Baitinghai. After that, the Yunyang Department also arrived, and everyone had no interest in the fleeing Yeluma Division, which was Lingzhou to the west, and Yeluma naturally would not have the courage to challenge the city defense of Lingzhou with thousands of routs. The only way out for him was to turn north and cross the desert to return to Zubu, so that would happen. It is estimated that no more than 50% of the thousands of people will make it back alive.

Naturally, the Ming and Zhou armies would no longer take the risk of sacrificing soldiers for so many thousand people.

As a result of this incident, the Uighur armies in Ganzhou and Liang were wiped out, and Khan Jingqiong died in the chaos, and the Uighur forces in Ganzhou began to weaken. Yun Yang could only temporarily stay in Liangzhou and wait for Baili Wuji's order.

So, the two armies said goodbye on the battlefield. Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin led their troops back to Lingzhou, Yun Yang led the army back to Liangzhou, and Xu Shouren led the special combat army to temporarily stationed in Baitinghai, waiting for the will of Baili Wuji.

……。

Ten days later, Chai Rong received a report that the Blockade Army had been completely annihilated, and Zhao Kuangyin's department had returned to Lingzhou, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then thought that Chen Tuan in Cizhou was still in prison, so he deliberately went to Cizhou from Xiazhou.

The day he arrived in Cizhou was the last day of the agreed month, Chai Rong wanted to release Chen Tong immediately, but he didn't know why, he had a thought in his heart and delayed for one more day for no reason.

Early the next morning, Chai Rong ordered the guards to remove the sealed doors and windows and prepare to enter the room to check.

"Is the Taoist alright? I came as promised. Before Chai Rong arrived, the voice came first.

I only heard a breathy voice reply: "The emperor is already a day late." ”

Chai Rong was shocked in his heart, this old Taoist did have some skills, he was fine without eating or drinking in a sealed room for a month, and he even remembered the days clearly.

Chai Rong laughed loudly as he entered the room: "The Dao Leader won't be worried about this, right?" ”

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chen Tuan lying on the ground, although his face was a little haggard, but his eyes were still full of energy.

Seeing Chai Rong coming in, Chen Jian got up and sat cross-legged, and said with a smile: "The emperor has all the opportunities, how dare the old man care." ”

Chai Rong also smiled and said: "Dao Chang is really an immortal, such a skill, I deserve to be rewarded." ”

Chen Tuan politely refused: "The emperor is the son of heaven, there are all over the world, and the old Tao is just a country man, and he dare not be rewarded by the emperor." ”

Chai Rong actually admired Chen Shu very much in his heart, not because he didn't eat or drink for a month, but because he was able to speak frankly. There are few people in this world who are so open-minded, and Chai Rong is reluctant to kill Chen Jun.

Seeing that Chen Tuan was not an ordinary mountain warlock, honest and frank, Chai Rong had the heart to solicit, and said: "Dao Chang Immortal, I want to worship Dao Chang as the right counselor, I don't know what to do with Chang Yi?" ”

Chen Jian had already lost hope in Chai Rong, and when he heard this, he refused again: "People in the mountains and wilderness don't know the way to be officials, and Your Majesty looks down on the old way." If His Majesty is gracious, please allow the old road to return to Huashan, and the old road will no longer be involved in mortal things. ”

Chai Rong knew what he meant when he heard it, and Chen Jian was assuring him that he would not spread rumors for Zhao Kuangyin again. Chai Rong saw that he didn't have the will to be loyal to him, and he was reluctant to harm him, so he had to nod and said, "I have stayed with the Dao Chief for a month, how can I let the Dao Master return empty-handed?" Since the Taoist chief refuses to serve as an official, I will give the Taoist chief the Dharma name. Another hundred horses of silk and fifty catties of tea. The Taoist chief can no longer refuse. ”

Chen Jian saw that Chai Rong had made up his mind, and he didn't dare not give face, so he should come down and thank him.

On the same day, Chai Rong gave Mr. Chen the name of Mr. Baiyun. After Chen Kuan bowed, he returned to Huashan.

Since then, all kinds of rumors about Zhao Kuangyin in the world have disappeared, and no one has mentioned it again.

……。

Yelu Jing, who went to Beijing, had gone crazy, and when he learned that Dading Mansion had fallen, Yelu Jing accelerated the process of conscription.

These days, more than 300,000 recruits have gathered in Shangjing. (To be continued......)
