Chen Hui himself was almost shot by the Mongols, two arrows were shot on his horse, and one arrow was shot at his helmet, so he was so frightened that he quickly jumped off his horse and replaced it with an intact horse.

When he got on the horse again, the scene was extremely chaotic, the southern army had collapsed, the first to go out of the city, was beaten by Zhou Hu and fled, and the latter just left the city, and was screamed by the Mongols with a rain of arrows.

"Governor, I can't stand it, what should I do now?" Someone ran over to ask Chen Hui for instructions.

Chen Hui also wanted to know what to do.

He had 15,000 cavalry, and he had not yet all left the city, and had been beaten and collapsed by Zhu Gaoxu.

He originally had the advantage of troops, but he was actually caught off guard by Zhu Gaoxu with his advantage.

What to do? Of course, life is at stake.

Chen Hui gritted his teeth and raised his whip fiercely: "Take as much as you can, and withdraw."

"What?" The subordinates were dumbfounded.

"Can this situation still be fought? If you continue to fight, the whole army will be annihilated, and you will go." Chen Hui gave an order, and couldn't help but say that he turned around and ran.

Chen Hui is similar to Li Jinglong, he is relatively timid and a little afraid of death.

Of course, if you are a person, you will be afraid of death.

However, he was obviously more afraid, in fact, he had more soldiers and horses than Zhu Gaoxu, and there was a steady stream of troops coming out of the follow-up acropolis, and some southern troops from the West Gate also rushed over to support.

But he didn't dare to fight, thinking in his heart, he could also explain to Li Jinglong when he went back, Lao Tzu ran after a fight, so he turned around and ran.

The main generals ran away, and the middle and high-level generals also turned around and ran, which soon turned into a big collapse.

In the battle, Zhu Gaoxu rode with 5,000 fine horses, broke Chen Hui's 15,000 horses, beheaded more than 2,000, and captured more than 1,000 alive.

Chen Hui ran too fast, and a large number of southern troops had not yet come and gathered from the acropolis, but they were already blocked in the city by Zhu Gaoxu, and they could only surrender.

——

Li Jinglong of Zhengcunba has already received the news a few days ago, and it is very bad news.

King Yan not only went down to Daning, but also pocketed all the nearly 100,000 elites of Daning Xingdusi, and Liu Zhen fled back to Guangning on a single horse.

Li Jinglong, as before, immediately summoned the generals and talked about it.

The generals at the scene were in an uproar.

Soon some generals suggested retreating and attacking again in the spring of the following year.

There are also generals who are like peace and ask to lead the troops, as long as they give me 50,000 fine horsemen, and go north to resist the Yan army.

Ping'an also said that the Yan army is now overwhelming, but it will not be all cavalry, in my estimation, all the cavalry of the Yan army is about 100,000, and some of them must be left behind to escort Ning Wang's materials, and at most 80,000 cavalry can rush back.

It means that if you give him 50,000 fine cavalry, you can resist 80,000 cavalry of King Yan.

I don't know if Ping An is bragging, anyway, Li Jinglong directly vetoed it.

What are you kidding, how many elite horsemen are there in the Southern Army now, all of them will give you peace, and I, Li Jinglong, will die?

And in case you can't defeat the Yan army, and the Yan cavalry attack, how can we run away with all infantry?

Li Jinglong hasn't fought yet, and his mind is already thinking about running.

In fact, he has already intended to withdraw from the army, but among the generals, there are too few people who support the retreat, and he wants to retreat from the army, for fear of being punished by the emperor after he returns.

So he was thinking about whether to run first by himself, or with the army?

Li Jinglong couldn't help but look at Guo Ying and Wu Jie and other generals.

Guo Ying sighed, the defenders of Beiping City have been consumed a lot by us, if the weather does not cool down, there is a good chance to capture it.

But now the weather is too cold, and the soldiers can't stand it, so it's better to retreat.

Li Jinglong was overjoyed.

However, Guo Ying said again, with so many soldiers and horses, baggage and materials must be retreated, they must be in order and take precautions, otherwise they will be attacked by the Yan army, and they will inevitably form a big defeat.

With Guo Ying opening his mouth, Li Jinglong was ready to withdraw his troops.

But at this moment.

Someone outside was in a hurry.

"Newspaper."

Before the people arrived at the camp of the Chinese army, they had already roared, and the faces of everyone in the camp changed greatly, and they were all a little panicked.

Sure enough, the people who came climbed in and bowed down: "The vanguard of the Yan army has arrived in Shunyi, and Chen Dudu led the troops to meet the battle and asked for reinforcements."

Shunyi is quite close to here, and the faces of the generals have changed greatly.

Li Jinglong asked in surprise, "How many strikers are there in the Yan Army?"

"About five thousand horsemen."

"Grass." Ping An directly exploded in the big tent.

brushed, and looked around.

Sheng Yong and Qu Neng couldn't cry or laugh.

Chen Hui has 15,000 horsemen, facing 5,000 Yan troops, he actually wants reinforcements?

The cursive word "Ping'an" has clearly expressed his greetings to Chen Hui's family for motherhood, and may also have greeted Li Jinglong by the way.

Li Jinglong was ashamed and angry, probably guessing that Ping An was scolding him, and it was not good to scold Ping An.

"Yan is coming quickly, so it should be rearranged." Li Jinglong could only say.

The generals are noncommittal, most of them have the same expressions, look at you Li Jinglong to act, you continue to act.

Ping'an originally wanted to say, give me 5,000 horsemen, and I will go and beat the Yan army back to the other side of the White River.

However, after the mouth was opened, it was still closed.

He didn't bother to speak in front of Li Jinglong, the Yan army had only come with 5,000 horsemen, and Li Jinglong, who was sitting on an army of 500,000, looked frightened?

At this time, Li Jinglong no longer dared to say withdraw.

Just now, the Yan army did not arrive, they could retreat safely, but if they retreated now, it would become a big rout, in case the Yan army defeated Chen Hui again and came to cover the situation, the situation would be even more ugly.

Before dark, Chen Hui returned to the camp with the remnants of the defeated army.

Although Chen Hui returned to the camp, he brought the news of the fiasco, which made Li Jinglong even more uneasy.

Fortunately, it will slowly turn dark at this time, and the Yan army will definitely not attack immediately.

Li Jinglong arranged the army and prepared for the big battle with the Yan army tomorrow, and at the same time ordered all battalions to beware of the night attack of the Yan army.

After dark, Li Jinglong frowned and stayed in his big tent.

Before the Shuai case, there were many military newspapers, from various battalions and localities, all of which were asking for food, artillery, baggage, medical officers, and even horse fodder and soldiers.

Li Jinglong was annoyed when he looked at it, he asked me for it, he wanted it all for me, he wanted it every day, could I conjure it up?

At this time, Li Jinglong also regretted a little, regretting that he didn't give Qu Neng enough support that day, otherwise I would be in Yanwang's Mansion now, and I wouldn't be able to sleep with the little lady of Yanwang's Mansion.

But immediately, he immediately denied his wrong idea.

Yu Yuantong is a Cao Guogong, and he doesn't even shout at the big general, what the hell?

My late father is the nephew of Taizu, and my first grandmother is Taizu's own sister. Do you think I'm Zhao Kuo on paper?

Li Jinglong knew that most of the generals disobeyed him, and privately thought he was Zhao Kuo.

So he could easily distinguish these people, and most of the people who called him Cao Guogong were not convinced.

Who is Cao Guogong's name?

Xu Huizu in the capital, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and today's saints are qualified to be called, what are you doing? Don't even call the big general?

Yu Yuantong is Qu Neng's person, of course he hates Qu Neng, thinking that Qu Neng is deliberate.

So how can Qu Neng and Yu Tongyuan get the credit for breaking the city?

Thinking about it this way, it's still right that I don't support Qu Neng, and I didn't do anything wrong.

Blame the weather for falling suddenly, and blame Yan Jun for coming back too late.

However, he believed that if he was given a few more days, the weather would be better and he would definitely be able to break through Beiping City.

Li Jinglong didn't sleep well that night, for fear that the Yan army would attack the camp at night.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with each other overnight, and early the next morning, I received news that the main force of the Yan army came.

As Ping An expected, tens of thousands of cavalry galloped through the starry night, crossed the White River from the side of the lonely mountain, and joined Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses

, the total is about 80,000.

Li Jinglong was right that he did not retreat, and many generals made a big slap on the back that day, saying that it was really wise that the marshal did not retreat yesterday.

Yesterday we had to retreat, and today we will definitely be caught up by the Yan army, and then it will be a rout.

Li Jinglong hugged the crowd and was proud, holding his head high, with an unstoppable expression.

On the morning of the same day, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Yan army arrived at Zhengcunba, and then the two sides began to fight.

Similar to the original history, before the start of the battle, the Yan army, with the elite cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei as the vanguard, broke through seven large battalions of the Southern Army in a row.

But after all, the southern army still had a large number of soldiers and horses, and quickly stabilized its position.

The two sides were at loggerheads, and on 6 November, they fought for a day, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

The back is almost the same as the original history, that night, Li Jinglong ran away directly, ordered the soldiers and horses near Zhengcunba to retreat lightly, discarded almost all the heavy grain and grass, and ran in the direction of Dezhou.

At this time, the southern army responsible for encircling and guarding the north was kept in the dark, and when the soldiers and horses in the Yan army city came out and attacked the reinforcements of the king of Yan inside and outside, they knew that their commander had run away.

In the first battle of Baihe, the southern army was defeated again, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded, tens of thousands captured, tens of thousands of missing and scattered, a total of more than 100,000 lost divisions, and more than 20,000 horses captured by the Yan army, which undoubtedly made matters worse for the southern army, which had few cavalry.

On the same day, Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses followed the southern army's fart drum all the way to chase, chased to Cangzhou before returning, the sight was unbearable, from Zhengcunba to Cangzhou the road was full of corpses of the southern army killed in battle, all the Yan troops grabbed the battle merits, killed people on the road, and desperately pursued the defeated soldiers of the southern army.

Zhu Gaoxu ordered everyone not to be too fast, and when they saw the southern army on the road, they would shoot arrows, and they should not dismount and chase and cut.

If you shoot, you will be credited, and if you don't miss, you will leave it to the person behind to shoot.

A few days later, when he arrived in Cangzhou, he received an order from King Yan to withdraw his troops.

The generals returned to Beiping one after another, and when the last wave of people returned, it was already November 12.

On the evening of the 13th, King Yan held a celebration banquet in the palace, and it was also to welcome the newly surrendered Daning generals.

Zhu Gaoxu counted the time, and it took about three minutes to come to the Yanwang Mansion.

At this time, it was already dark in the Beiping area, but the candles were high in the palace, the lights were bright, and the king of Yan also made a bloody capital for the celebration, and there were eunuchs and maids in many places holding lanterns, especially for the guests to illuminate and guide the way.

Zhu Gaoxu took the generals Xu Xiang and Li Xian (the Mongols of Guyan Sanwei, the Han name taken), to the Yanwang Mansion.

He, the former deputy general of the left army, is also qualified to attend the celebration banquet today.

Li Xian is a thousand households of Fuyuwei, whose Mongolian name is Hailatuolimu, and is the brother-in-law of Fuyuwei's commander Tongzhihai Sanan.

He was assigned by King Yan to the left side of Zhu Gaoxu's front army, with a thousand fine cavalry, and played a very good role in fighting Chen Hui.

Li Xian likes Sinology, can speak Chinese, and also took a Chinese name, since following Zhu Gaoxu, he found that he talked very much with the king of Gaoyang County, and the king of Gaoyang County respected him very much, so that he had a feeling of being familiar at first sight and hating to see each other.

However, if he knew that the king of Gaoyang County would meet many people at first sight, he would not know what to think.
