Chapter 47: The Battle of Yanzhou (3)

The changes in the battlefield have always affected the whole body, but the arrangement of troops has always been as stable as Mount Tai.

The Tiger Guards have attacked the Khitan camp from the west and occupied a large number of large and small camps, but the Khitan soldiers in other camps have not become a mess, but under the command of Yelu Xiannichi, some of them have held the camp, and some of them have been mobilized in an orderly manner to support their comrades from all sides, enrich the battle formations and defense lines everywhere, and resist the onslaught of the Tiger Guards layer by layer.

As the dawn dawned, the fighting intensified.

The attacking Tang army seemed to see the light in front of them, and the battle became more and more courageous.

Although the morale of the Khitan soldiers guarding the camp is much lower, because Yelu Xiannechi personally came to the front line to command, no one retreated, such as today, the most difficult night is about to pass, and the Khitan soldiers can't help but lift their spirits.

"General Zhao, the sky is about to dawn, and we still need these last two lines of defense before we can attack the camp of the Khitan Chinese army! If we can't enter the camp in time and achieve a decisive victory, just occupy the camp west of the Khitan, the battle will drag on, and we may be counterattacked by the Khitan at that time!"

The adjutant general came back from the front of the battle covered in blood, and said to Zhao Poyu anxiously, "The Khitan army is quite resolute, and it is impossible to break through these last two lines of defense in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, without the abdomen and heart, Yelu Xiannichi is still so difficult!"

After hearing these words, Zhao Poyu's face was still as pale as iron, and he did not show the slightest negative emotion.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled slightly: "The situation you said will not happen, we will win immediately!"

Seeing that the Tang army was blocked from the defensive line and unable to attack the camp in front of him, Yelu Xianne's bare eyes gradually turned into calmness.

He said loudly to the soldiers who were fighting left and right: "The forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than this! It is okay to defend the city, and there is nothing special about attacking the fortifications!"

"Khitan warriors, as long as you fight hard, today we will block the Tang army, tomorrow as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we can defeat them and attack Huairong City! This is our excellent opportunity, Huairong City is the base camp of the Tang army, there are countless wealth and beauties, and it will be yours at that time!"

When the Khitan soldiers heard this, they all raised their voices and screamed, and their morale rose a lot.

But at this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the northern camp, and the momentum was so great that it was more terrifying than the thunder of the summer night, and only the collapse of Mount Tai could describe it.

Yelu Xiannechi's face suddenly changed, he looked north along the sound, and said sharply: "What's the matter?!"

Without waiting for someone to report, he took off into the air on his own, and this could not help but shake the tiger's body.

I saw that the gate of Beiying no longer existed, and the wreckage of the gate was trampled under the feet of an ironclad torrent! And on the elite cavalry battle array, the majestic and dazzling light of the soldier battle array, Yelu Xiannichi was all too familiar!

"Shangguan Allure?!" Yelu Xiannichi is like a mouse who has seen a cat, and his fear cannot be suppressed at this moment no matter what!

What he didn't understand was that he had clearly sent 50,000 cavalry to the north to intercept him, why Shangguan Allure was still here! Moreover, according to the monk who had returned from the sheep's horn bubble, Shangguan Allure's headquarters had also suffered nearly half of the casualties in that battle!

The only thing Yelu Xiannichi understood was that it was difficult for Beiying to stop Shangguan from falling into the city.

After a night of fierce fighting, the northern camp was not attacked by the Tiger Guards, and the defense line was complete, but in order to hold the large camp of the Chinese army and prevent Zhao Poyu from driving straight in, Yelu Xiannechi mobilized the elites of each battalion to come to block it, and the same was true for the North Camp - otherwise, when there was no longer a heart in the camp, how could he stop the Tiger Guards in the West Camp all night?

Realistically speaking, even if the North Battalion has no elite soldiers, it is enough to defend the camp by relying on a complete defensive force.

The way tens of thousands of people camp must be a large camp and a small camp, and the camp is interlocking and layered before the camp.

Throw away a few small battalions, the whole Dazhai only needs to shrink the battle line, according to the camp area behind, the defense system is still there, a team of more than 10,000 people, it is not easy to attack the fortification.

But it's Shangguan Allure who came!

In the battle of Luoyankou, Yelu Xiannechi defeated the Wolf Tooth Army, and his reputation on the grassland was greatly enhanced, and the limelight overshadowed the general of the near division Yelu Enemy Lugu, and he himself was often complacent.

But what was the situation in that battle, Yelu Xiannechi, as the Khitan general at that time, knew better than anyone else.

The impact that the Wolf Tooth Army brought to him on the battlefield, and the oppressive force brought to him by Shangguan Allure, were the nightmare that made him sweat profusely when he dreamed back at midnight.

If he could, he wouldn't want to meet Shangguan Chengcheng on the battlefield again in his life.

But now, Shangguan Allure is here.

With a team that talks about the elite level, it is not inferior to the elite cavalry of the former wolf tooth army!

Jerod felt that the light on the horizon had collapsed, that the world had fallen back into darkness, that the endless darkness would never again be dispelled by light—that there was no end to it.

After a brief moment of dizziness, Jerushin bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to compose.

He is one of the most brave generals on the grassland, and in addition to Yelu Abaoji, only Yelu is as famous as Lugu, and his courage will not be lost at any time.

"You block Zhao Poyu, and the pro-army will follow me to stop Shangguan Allure! After all, she only has more than 10,000 people, even if I die, I will block her! The reinforcements sent by the king will arrive soon, as long as we can hold out until tomorrow, the Tang army will definitely be defeated if there are few soldiers!"

His eyes were red, and he roared to his lieutenant to give orders, and after giving himself a reason to hope for victory, he had the courage to fight for himself.

At this moment, Yelu Xiannichi has put life and death aside. He lost his heart, it has long been an unforgivable sin, if he can't hold the camp today, not to mention the trust of Yelu Abaoji, he will have no shame to face himself!

In all fairness, Yelu Xian Nichi's judgment and arrangement are not wrong, as long as they can hold the camp of the Chinese army, even if the other camps are lost, once the reinforcements sent by Yelu Abaoji arrive tomorrow, the battlefield they hold on to will form a central flowering trend, and under the echo of the inside and outside, they will definitely not be defeated!

Although the Tang army was elite, Yelu Xiannichi had an army of 200,000 after all, and it was not difficult to hold the camp for two days under the condition of adequate preparation.

The key is that Yelu Abaoji's reinforcements were dispatched in a very timely manner, and when Datang faced the situation of the world's attack on Tang, the troops in the north did not have an advantage, and they completely relied on the soldiers to fight bravely.

It's a pity that Zhang Changan and Buchen didn't plan to give him this opportunity.

In the tent, Balatu and Zhang Changan and Buchen had been talking for half an hour.

Although the conditions proposed by the other party are very rich, for example, after the victory of this battle, they will give them tens of thousands of cattle and sheep from the Khitan grain raising team captured by the previous army, so that their tribes do not have to worry about the problem of wintering, and they can grow stronger, and if the Tang army uses troops to the grassland in the future, they will not meet their tribes and so on.

But Baratu still couldn't make up his mind.

The benefits of withdrawing are great and tempting, but the risks are not small. If this war against Tang was won by the Khitan in the end, and after the war, the Khitan thought that he was responsible for the unfavorable war at this time, then his tribe would definitely cease to exist.

After all, at this time, the Khitan army has no signs of rout.

Balatu didn't dwell on it for too long, and the news of Shangguan's invasion of Beiying reached them.

Having figured out the change in the situation, Balatu already wanted to leave.

Zhang Changan and Buchen also made it very clear that if he insisted on not leaving and continued to stay in the camp, he would be the enemy of the Tang army, once the Tang army broke through the camp, all of them would definitely die, and there was absolutely no reason to be spared!

But Baratu couldn't make up his mind for a while.

This decision is too big, hesitant and hesitant, and it is difficult to make a decision, which is a psychology that ordinary people will have.

However, Baratu did not lose time.

It's not that he figured it out, but the warriors of the tribe suddenly gathered in large numbers and asked to go back to grazing, not wanting to fight and die here anymore.

These people are naturally people who have been bewitched and controlled by the view of the whole truth and the non-emptiness of the Buddha's mind.

Seeing that it was difficult to disobey the will of the people, if he didn't make a decision, his majesty would be completely lost, and it was likely that he would not be able to control his people, and the situation had indeed reached a critical period, so he gritted his teeth and slapped his head, and ordered the tribal warriors to retreat from the camp and leave this battlefield first!

Balatu had already made up his mind, and after leaving the battlefield, he would first wait and see from a short distance.

In case, the Khitan reinforcements arrive early, or if the Tang army is unexpectedly defeated, and they come back to help the battle, it can be said that they left the barracks in order to jump out of the chaotic battlefield and open up the situation - so that they will not be blamed.

It's a good idea, and it has the best of both worlds.

But there is nothing in the world that can take advantage of anything, and if the Khitan really wins, Balatu and his tribe will inevitably be slaughtered by Yelu Xiannechi. It's just that many people always think they are smart, and when they make decisions, they always think about taking all the benefits, and they don't know how to make trade-offs.

On the one hand, it is because they are not wise enough, and on the other hand, it is also due to human nature.

After Balatu quickly left the camp with the tribal warriors and evacuated, he didn't go far before he saw many tribal warriors following him and fleeing the battlefield.

Only then did he understand that he had been used by Zhang Changan and Buchen as pawns.

The other steppe tribes who came out with him must have been "bewitched" in the same way, and they had the same concerns, just waiting for the first bird to appear. In this way, even if the Khitan wins, after the war, they can also say that they left with Balatu, and their guilt will be much less.

Baratu was furious.

But the arrow has been shot, and there is no turning back.

What he hasn't figured out yet is that the reason why Zhang Changan and Buchen personally came to lobby him and let him be the first to evacuate was not only because of the great grudge between him and Yelu Xiannichi, but also because the Quanzhen Guan and the Wukong Liberation Gate had the greatest infiltration and influence on his tribal warriors.

Even if he didn't want to leave, he was afraid that it would be impossible.

Yelu Xiannechi led his own pro-army and was fighting fiercely with the headquarters of Shangguan Chengcheng. Although it was defended by the battalion, it was still broken through one defense line by the Shangguan Allure Division, and it could only barely be supported.

Originally, Jerushone thought that he would be able to hold out until dark.

But suddenly, he heard the loud noise of the camp behind him, and thought that there was another Tang army surprise soldier killed, and he was puzzled, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was those grassland tribe troops who had fled without an order, and his eyes suddenly popped out!

"These rice buckets are not enough to succeed and more than to fail, and they will kill me!" Yelu Xiannichi screamed.

The retreating steppe tribal army is naturally not all, and it is not even thirty percent of the overall tribal army.

But that's also in the thousands!

So many people fled without an order, it was like a corner of the promotion, and soon caused panic in the whole army.

Not long after, more and more grassland tribal armies, whose morale fell to the bottom, joined the retreating team one after another.

In just one hour, the headquarters army of the Khitan Eight Divisions also collapsed on the front.

The defeat was like a mountain.

Yelu Xiannichi couldn't hold on any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his body shook, his eyes turned black again, and he fell to the ground.
