As Zong Yu's order was conveyed everywhere, the Rong army, which had been fleeing, also began their counterattack.

One by one, the fierce Rong soldiers raised their scimitars in their hands and slashed at the enemies who pursued them, and the forbidden soldiers who did not react for a while were killed and retreated.

Looking at the bloodied Rong soldiers in front of them, the first thing they thought of was not that the other party was a living person, but a ferocious beast.

The situation on the battlefield is always delicate, and a casual oversight is enough to affect the course of the entire war.

After Yun Bi mistakenly gave the order to pursue and kill, the Rong army, which was on the verge of death, attacked desperately, and there were already some signs of defeat.

Just as Xiao Jiu thought before, the bravery of the grassland people was honed in one war after another, and there was still some gap between these temporarily recruited teams in the customs and the other party.

Without firearms, these soldiers who had never fought in battle faced a ferocious enemy like hitting a stone with an egg.

The enemy, who was in the limelight before, was overwhelmed at this time, which also made Zong Yu see an opportunity, and constantly urged his subordinates to drag the fleeing Great Xia soldiers back to the battlefield.

Once again, the battlefield outside Kyoto City has become a purgatory-like Shura field, with people on both sides falling one after another, adding a touch of crimson to the picture of swords and blood.

Yun Bi, who was commanding the battle in the rear, clenched his fists fiercely when he saw this scene, and it was too late to get all his men to withdraw.

The other side is only 20,000 people, and he actually beat his forbidden army to flee in a grand manner, you must know that the disparity in the strength of the two sides is nearly three times.

It's just that no matter how Yun Bi regrets it, it's just incompetent and furious, if it is defeated by the Rong clan, Kyoto City will also become the Rong clan's horse farm.

"Let the crossbow battalion go up too."

Just when Yun Bi was a little overwhelmed, Xiao Jiu, whose face was as heavy as water, began to give orders to his troops.

Xiao Jiu's troops have not been expanded much, and they have always been inferior to other princes in the Guannai in terms of the number of soldiers.

But if you want to talk about the military quality of the Yangcheng soldiers, they are still much stronger than the soldiers of other forces, at this time, with the transmission of Xiao Jiu's order, the soldiers of the Xiao Zi battalion did not question the orders of their superiors and began to take over the battlefield.

The crossbow arrows shot out like the scythe of death, and the soldiers of the crossbow battalion began to quickly harvest the lives of the enemy as soon as they entered the battlefield.

With the advantage of equipment, Xiao Jiu's soldiers didn't need to be physically strong, because a crossbow was just as deadly in the hands of a child as it was in the hands of an adult.

Xiao Jiu's crossbow battalion was armed with a crossbow and three magazines, and when facing the crazy Rong soldiers, they often shot their crossbow arrows at each other before they could get close.

However, the forbidden army, which had been chasing and killing the enemy before, had a large number of soldiers fleeing when the Xiao Zi battalion behind the palace came to support.

In the face of the devilish Rong clan, these soldiers have been frightened by the bloodshed of war, and it is as uncomfortable for them to take up their weapons and fight as it is to kill them.

Therefore, although Xiao Jiu's crossbow battalion continued to rise, the trend of defeat and retreat still did not weaken substantially.

After all, the number of crossbow battalions is too small, only more than 10,000 people, and they can't shoot at all in the face of troops several times their own.

Seeing that the battlefield was once again at a stalemate, Yun Bi, who was standing with Xiao Jiu, turned blue, and the faces of the generals of the Jizhou Army who accompanied him were not good-looking, but no one ordered his soldiers to support the front line.

Just when the atmosphere gradually reached a stalemate, Gu Chong, who had not spoken much, slowly stepped forward and waved his hand to summon a military general accompanying him.

"Let your soldiers go up, if you can't hold Kyoto, the next one to suffer is our Yuzhou."

As Gu Chong's words fell, the middle-aged general who followed behind Gu Chong nodded in response, left his position and began to convey orders to his subordinates.

Xiao Jiu and Yun Bi both looked at the unattractive little old man in front of them with some surprise, as if they didn't expect Gu Chong to have such courage and want to suppress the soldiers of his headquarters.

And Gu Chong only smiled slightly and shook his head slightly, "My old bones can't live for a few years, but if the Rong clan is allowed to poison the Central Plains, it will be those people who will suffer after all." ”

I have to say that Gu Chong still understands the national righteousness, which is much stronger than many princes.

Although Xiao Jiu and Gu Chong are in different camps and have different concepts, this does not affect Xiao Jiu's respect for Gu Chong.

In Xiao Jiu's eyes, it is already remarkable that Gu Chongneng, who was in the feudal era, always thought about problems and made decisions from the standpoint of the people.

The only deficiency may be that Gu Chong does not have a correct way to guide the various resources and forces at his disposal to truly benefit the people.

In troubled times, Gu Chong can be a saint, but he is not suitable to be a king.

He always had a simple peasant feeling in his heart, which made him unable to tolerate a little sand in his eyes, such as a merchant.

The rebel soldiers in Yuzhou gradually plunged into the fierce battlefield after receiving Gu Chong's orders, and also kept the two sides fighting in a delicate balance.

When one side of the battle is unable to eat the other side firmly to death, the final result is either reconciliation or death.

Zong Yu of the Kerong clan has no intention of breaking the net with the other party, not to mention the powerful firearms in the war, if he destroys all the troops he will bring out, even if he returns to the gate, he will become the commander of the light pole.

The reason why the battle was fought against the tide was also because the retreating Rong army had been being slaughtered by the pursuing soldiers.

Zong Yu has been sitting in the position of the head of the Black Wolf Country since he was a teenager, when has he ever suffered such a defeat, and it is reasonable to fight back on the spot.

But now he also had to look at the situation on the battlefield and try to keep the army under his command.

At this time, the pursuers no longer dared to wantonly pursue and kill the fleeing Rong soldiers, and were a little overwhelmed by the other party.

But with the addition of Yuzhou soldiers, the two sides began to become evenly matched again.

In desperation, Zong Yu could only let go of the hard-won fighter and decisively ordered a retreat.

"Withdraw."

When Zong Yu said this word coldly, the herald who had been following him quickly issued orders to the frontline departments.

But most of the soldiers of the Rong tribe who had already killed the red-eyed did not care about any military orders, and all they wanted was to rush over and kill the opponent.

Seeing this, Zong Yu could only let out a sigh, and no longer cared about these soldiers who did not obey the orders of his superiors, but he still felt sorry for these brave Rong warriors in his heart.

Today's defeat made Zong Yu feel very aggrieved, and Xiao Jiu's role in firearms on the battlefield was a direct dimensionality reduction blow.

Now that he has withdrawn to Huya Pass, he is not ready to enter the military pass again before he studies and understands Xiao Jiu's firearms, and can only wait for the transformation of the Central Plains before trying to plot an opportunity.

And although the important town of Huya Pass has been taken, there is not much defensive strength on the side of the pass, and heavy troops have to be arranged.

As a result, the border Rong people, who were originally weak in logistics, have added a large amount of military expenditure.

Thinking of this, Zong Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, but there was no good solution.

The evacuation of the Derong army marched all the way out of Kyoto, and after resting overnight in Boyi County, he began to lead the army to retreat to Huya Pass.

Abandoning the city of Boyi County is not to say that Zong Yu doesn't look down on this city, but that he can't hold it for much time under the all-out attack of the forbidden army.

It is better to station the limited number of troops in Huya Pass to prevent this Dexiong Pass, which prevents the Rong people from entering the Central Plains, from falling into the hands of the Great Xia people again.

If you lose your land, you will survive: if you lose your land, you will lose your land.

Zong Yu still understands this truth, but with the withdrawal of the Rong army outside the Guan, these wealthy families in the Zhili area who act as the leading party will inevitably be liquidated by the angry forbidden army.

"Nothing!"

The grizzled Cui Hao looked at the dead and wounded soldiers he was responsible for recruiting, and knew that this war was over, and he was the losing side.

As the price of investment failure, they continue to stay in the Guannai only a dead end, and only by giving up the land in their hands and fleeing outside the Guanwai with their family wealth can they have a way to live.

It's just that in this way, they have changed from the domestic animals of the princes in the Guannai to the fat sheep of the Rong clan outside the Guan.

At that time, will Zong Yu, who had suffered the defeat, still have enough prestige to deter the Rong tribes who wanted to blackmail them?

Cui Hao couldn't be sure, but now they had no choice.

Returning to the side of the Guannai coalition army, after the Rong soldiers hurriedly retreated, Yun Bi did not give the order to pursue again, which made the nervousness in the hearts of many front-line soldiers reduce a lot.

They really frightened the combat effectiveness of the Rong soldiers, but they didn't expect a group of defeated soldiers to burst out with such amazing combat power in the end.

At this time, Yun Bi was also shocked, after all, he had almost let all his efforts go to waste because of one of his orders.

In addition, Yun Bi once again had a new understanding of Xiao Jiu, and had to start paying attention to this young man who had firearms and had a keen combat instinct.

Yun Bi is no longer down this year, although he is not a veteran in history, but in the face of Xiao Jiu, who is much younger than himself, there is still an irresistible feeling in his heart.

"How can I use him for my purposes?"

Now Yun Bi's mind is full of how to win over the other party.

If you use the name of Great Xia to pressure Xiao Jiu to obey, it will definitely not work, not to mention whether Xiao Jiu agrees with the central court he represents, Xiao Jiu's current strength alone must be able to fight.

The most important thing is that he is definitely not the only one who has such thoughts, and all the forces in Jizhou will probably take Xiao Jiu as the leader after today.

But Yun Bi's current court without an emperor can't hold it up at all by himself and the forbidden army under his command.

Maybe something can be done about the Rong people?

But looking at Xiao Jiu's attitude towards the Rong clan, Yun Bi knew that Xiao Jiu was very jealous of the Rong clan outside the Guan, and if it was from the position of the nation, he would always be Xiao Jiu's most solid ally.
