The cold wind is cold, the loess on the official road is quickly blown away without a trace, a large scale of the Liao army slowly along the official road, like a long snake winding forward, looking from afar, only to see this Liao army flag such as a forest, bright armor, looks like a very mighty look, but if you get close to observe carefully, you can find that most of the soldiers in this Liao army are hungry, and their expressions are also a little panicked, looking around from time to time, as if they are worried that there will be enemies around at any time.

"Father, Aguta has already led his troops to chase after us, and he is lurking around us, but he doesn't take the initiative to attack, it seems that he has a great appetite, and he wants to eat us all when our food is exhausted and the soldiers have no strength to fight!" Among the cavalry in the front of the army, Xiao Dilie said to Xiao Yanshou beside him with an anxious face at this time.

Hearing his son's words, Xiao Yanshou did not answer, but turned his head to look at the surrounding terrain, before the rebellion in Liaoyang Mansion, he immediately chose to withdraw to Huanglong Mansion, but the lack of materials in their army, especially the grain and grass is not enough to support them to return to Huanglong Mansion, but they have no other choice, so they can only rush to Huanglong Mansion.

But just a few days ago, a Jurchen cavalry squad suddenly appeared on the right side of Xiao Yanshou's army, it seems that it should be the Jurchen Tanma, he just wanted to send a cavalry to eliminate the other party, but those Jurchen Tanma were very clever, and immediately galloped away, the Jurchens were all a number of horses, and the speed was extremely fast, so the Liao army couldn't catch up if they wanted to.

The appearance of the Jurchen Tanma shows that Ah Guda already knows about the changes in Liaoyang Mansion, and he regards Xiao Yanshou's army as his prey, but he is not in a hurry to step forward to bite, because he knows that after Xiao Yanshou's army lost its supplies, it did not replenish it in time. There must be insufficient food and grass in the army, so he is waiting for time to slowly wear down the strength of the Liao army, and when they no longer have the strength to resist, Ah Guta will launch a thunderous blow, which is also the most common and effective tactic when the wolves hunt.

"The Jurchens have reappeared!" At this moment, suddenly the Liao army of the front army was in an uproar. The formation also became a little scattered, and the generals who were supposed to restrain the soldiers were also panicked, and their eyes were fixed on the right side of the official road, only to see that there was a group of Jurchen cavalry flying by, and the Jurchen soldiers on the horse were all holding longbows, and the tips of arrows flashed towards them, but they did not attack, and quickly disappeared into the bushes on the side of the road.

"It's this little trick again!" Xiao Dilie saw those Jurchens who disappeared in a flash, and said hatefully at the moment. During this time, there would be Jurchen cavalry around them from time to time, sometimes there were more people and sometimes there were fewer people, and they were all in a flash, at most they shot a few arrows at their large army, although they could not cause any big casualties, but it also made the atmosphere in the whole army tense, and there was a shortage of food in the special army, and most of the soldiers were so hungry that they had no strength. He was even more frightened of the appearance of the Jurchens.

However, as soon as Xiao Dilie's words fell, he only heard Xiao Yanshou next to him speak and said, "Go to the army and plot." Although the Jurchens may seem savage, their leader, Ah Guta, is a genius general, and such a person should be extra careful on the battlefield, because the other party will not play cards according to common sense at all. ”

"Yes, boy, remember!" After hearing this, Xiao Dilie immediately bowed his head and said, in fact, he also knew that the Jurchens' heart-attacking tactics were very powerful. In the past few days, the entire army has been panicked, and this is still the Jurchens have not officially killed, if they wait for the frontal charge of their horses and swords, I am afraid that the men and horses on their side will immediately turn around and flee.

In the evening, Xiao Yan's life order army camped on a mountainside. At the foot of the mountain, he laid several lines of defense to prevent the sneak attack of the Jurchens, but the soldiers of the Liao army who were tired for a day only got a bowl of batter and clear soup in the end, and they could even see the bottom of the bowl directly from the bowl noodles, which was not much stronger than white water.

But this is also a helpless thing, because the army's grain and grass have bottomed out, not only people have nothing to eat, even horses can only eat the weeds on the side of the road to satisfy hunger, you must know that war horses not only have to eat feed, but also have to eat soybeans and other high-protein food to supplement their physical strength, otherwise there is no strength to carry a fully armored cavalry to fight, you must know that a cavalry counts armor and weapons, at least about three hundred catties, so the diet of war horses is sometimes stricter than that of people, and now even war horses have to eat, let alone people.

"Father, if you only eat these things every day, how can our soldiers have the strength, and the Jurchens are eyeing them left and right, in case they really kill them, I'm afraid we don't even have the strength to resist!" In the handsome tent, Xiao Dilie said to Xiao Yanshou with an anxious face, although they are generals, their father and son are not special, and the food is no different from ordinary soldiers, it is a noodle soup as clear as water.

"And what can you do?" I saw that Xiao Yanshou took a sip of noodle soup very calmly at this time and said, it seems that the bad situation in front of him has not had much impact on him.

"Father, I already asked the quartermaster just now, even if it's such a noodle soup, it's only enough for us to eat for another two days, and after two years, we won't be able to find a grain of grain, but we still have war horses, there are more than 10,000 war horses in the entire military camp, and now these war horses lack feed and feed, it is difficult to form any combat effectiveness, rather than this, it is better to kill a batch as military food, I calculated it, as long as I save some food, I can almost last to Huanglong Mansion!"

Xiao Dilie proposed to kill the war horse to satisfy his hunger, Xiao Yanshou thought for a moment after hearing it, and finally nodded and said: "Although killing the war horse is a helpless move, this is the only way to get through the difficulty, but we still need cavalry to patrol, so I think I will first turn a few cavalry that are not strong in combat power into infantry, as for the cavalry like the Tielin Army, don't move!" ”

"The child understands, now I will organize people to kill horses, according to my estimates, about five hundred war horses are enough for our army to eat a full meal!" When Xiao Dilie saw his father agree, he immediately said very excitedly.

In the next few days, the Liao army camp has been feeding on horse meat, but the number of war horses is limited after all, and when only the last 5,000 war horses are left, Xiao Yanshou suddenly ordered that the war horses should not be slaughtered again, so that the food in the army was interrupted again, and many people complained about Xiao Yanshou, after all, it was not easy to eat for a few days, but now he was going to starve again.

On this day, Xiao Yanshou and they came to an open plain area, but at this time, after the Liao army was hungry for a few days, most of the people seemed weak, and the number of war horses in the army was significantly reduced, but even so, whenever a war horse ran in front of them, many Liao soldiers showed a look of longing in their eyes.

After a morning of roading, seeing that it was about to be noon, most of the Liao army did not feel hungry at this time, but felt empty in their stomachs, and at the same time their limbs were weak, and they were a little shaky when they walked, and even many people felt a little dizzy, and they could only be supported by the brothers next to them, and what made them even more desperate was that now they only ate two meals in the morning and evening, although it was only a noodle soup or bone broth as clear as water, but it was better than nothing.

However, at this critical moment, suddenly only a thunderous sound was heard in the left front of the Liao army, and some veterans who had been in battle for a long time immediately recognized that this was the sound of a large army of cavalry charging, which made many people shocked, because at this time, the only cavalry that could appear was the Jurchens who had been haunted some time ago.

Xiao Dilie in the front army was also shocked when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately ordered the front army to prepare for defense, but the soldiers of the front army were really hungry one by one, and the heavy shield actually needed four or five people to stand up, and the spears protruding in front were also uneven, without any rules, which made Xiao Dilie also sink in his heart.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw a Jurchen cavalry rushing in front of the left, the most effective way to deal with the cavalry was to use the cavalry against the cavalry, but unfortunately at this time the cavalry of the Liao army was eaten half, and the remaining cavalry seemed to have no strength to charge again, so they could only form a formation to defend, and when the Jurchens rushed to the front, the Liao army only shot a few waves of arrow rain, but these arrows did not seem to have eaten enough, lost the fierceness of the past, and failed to prevent the Jurchens from charging at all, and in the blink of an eye, these Jurchens rushed to the front of the Liao army.

"Boom~" The Jurchens were like a rushing flood, slamming into the Liao army's flank defense circle, and as a result, the Liao army, which was already weak, could not stop the Jurchens' charge at all, and was torn open by the Jurchens in the defense in the blink of an eye, and the Jurchens in front were killed and wounded, but the Jurchens in the rear pierced into the Liao army like a sharp blade, and it seemed that they wanted to cut off the front army and the Chinese army of the Liao army.

"Hold on! Resist Lao Tzu! Xiao Dilie stared at the Jurchen cavalry rushing with bloodshot eyes and roared loudly, but he did not lose his mind because of the Jurchen attack, on the contrary, he was very calm at this time, for example, at this time he had found that although the Jurchen cavalry that was attacking the flank was brave, it was actually not very many, at most there were only about two thousand people, and the real strength of the Jurchens was definitely more than two thousand, in other words, there was another Jurchen cavalry staring at them, which could be killed at any time and give them a desperate blow!

Although the Jurchen cavalry that attacked the flank was brave, and the Liao army was also greatly reduced in combat effectiveness due to hunger, the number of the Liao army was too much, even if it was a pile of human lives, it finally blocked the impact of this Jurchen army, and the two armies were about to enter a stalemate. It's just that at this moment, suddenly there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves on the right side of the Liao army again, and then a larger Jurchen cavalry rushed to kill, and the Liao army was in danger!
