"Guo Wei, Guo Wei, the widow has always respected you as a fierce general, don't you know how many soldiers and horses the widow has? But if you attack the city, you must at least three times the strength of the defenders, and now our army is far superior to you, do you still dare to come to the city? Not to mention defending the city, you will win and not lose when you go out of the city to fight. Is this the art of war of Marshal Han?"

Guo Wei looked up at the time, looked into the distance again, and then said with a smile: "Triple the troops?" will be there soon. Besides, the Khitan soldiers are good at attacking but not good at defending, so why do you need three times as many troops to fight you? I think double is enough. ”

As he spoke, two streams of dust suddenly rose in the distance, coming from the northwest and northeast respectively, and the chaotic sound came from far and near. Immediately after that, two large armies appeared, and the three armies joined forces, and the number was far superior to that of Yelu Deguang's Liao army.

"Hexi Jiedu envoy Zhi Jiashi brought 150,000 horses to see Marshal Guo. ”

"Hedong Jiedu envoy Zhang Ying took 150,000 horses to see Marshal Guo. ”

Guo Wei deliberately asked loudly: "What happened to the army of Khitan dogs?"

Zhe Jiashi said: "The Khitan army is vulnerable to 100,000 horses and horses in Hexi. ”

Zhang Ying said: "The total annihilation of the Khitan to attack the 100,000 horses in Hedong, the Khitan army is not worth mentioning. ”

"Hahahaha, I thought there was something great about the Khitan army, but that's it. Guo Wei said: "Ben Shuai went to Cangzhou in a hurry, and after recapturing Cangzhou, he was transferred to Kaifeng, but I didn't expect this Khitan dog to become the emperor in Kaifeng." Look at his dog-like appearance, he is not the emperor when he wears a dragon robe. Now that the lone army is deep, there is no way forward, there is no way back, I want to see how this dog emperor will die. ”

Yeluzhen and Yelu Deguang's heads have seen sweat, and the big victory has paralyzed them for days, because Yeluzhen shouldn't have been so stupid, but after all, he is a Khitan, and the big victory made him a little inflated, and he encountered a lot of difficult things Yeluzhen threw his troops to take the city gate, so Yeludeguang rewarded again and again, and Yeluzhen also thought that the Han army was worthless. Relying on his peerless miraculous skills, Yeluzhen really didn't take the Han soldiers seriously.

But if you think about it, isn't it exactly the same as Zongxin's plan now?

Yeluzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Zongxin...... Sooner or later, I'm going to break him to pieces. Your Majesty, just now I received the second brother's flying eagle message, Wang Valve, Song Valve, Zhao Valve, together to attack Cangzhou, now Cangzhou was captured, Fu Yanqing was rescued, immediately laid down the five-shaped array, fell first sent people to recapture the upper gate, now the five-shaped array is started again, the three major valves are all garrisoned in Cangzhou, our army can not capture Cangzhou for the time being, so there is no delay. ”

"How so, how so?" exclaimed Jerod, "impossible, absolutely impossible. ”

"Hahahaha, look at this Khitan dog going crazy. I don't understand, are the Khitan people really so stupid?" Guo Wei laughed and said: "At the beginning, Master Zongxin had already told the whole plan, knowing that it was a trap, the Khitan dog actually drilled into the dog trap, do you think it is stupid?"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the city laughed at the same time, and the laughter made Yerod shiver. There were less than 200,000 troops in the city, some of whom were taken prisoners. It stands to reason that this number is enough to dominate the world, but why did they encounter the three armies of the Central Plains? How did they annihilate the two armies on the left and right?

"King Shenwu, with their strength, how can they annihilate the left and right wings?"

Yelu Zhen said: "They did not annihilate our two armies, but first captured Cangzhou, Cangzhou once broken without backup supplies, our army can only fight to feed the war, but it is not a long-term solution." And they were attacked by a very strange team, the second brother later learned that it was the night son Lei Hong to fight, they were not defeated by the night son Lei Hong, so they quickly retreated from the other way back to the sixteen states of Youyun, and now Cangzhou City garrisoned nearly 150,000 of our army, but it could not be attacked for a long time. The second brother's art of war is not as good as His Majesty, and after the five-shaped formation was modified by Fu Yanqing, it is now difficult to break for a while. ”

"If I had known, I would have killed him first. ”

"It's useless to kill, Fu Yanqing's survival doesn't matter, the key is that the three major valves have a total of 300,000 troops, and Lei Hong's own soldiers are 100,000, which is also a killer weapon, no matter how strong our army is, it can't break through Cangzhou." ”

It's over, there is really no way forward, there is no way back, the lonely army is deep, and there is a dead end.

Yelu Deguang said: "King Shenwu, take 50,000 horses to fight out of the siege, as long as you escape from Kaifeng alone, go to Cangzhou immediately to command the siege, now the only person I can trust is you, maybe only you can capture Cangzhou." As long as the gate of Cangzhou is opened for the Khitan again, our army will not lose to the Han army. ”

"Your Majesty, Xiao Wang will never leave Your Majesty, if there is danger, Xiao Wang can escort His Majesty back to the Great Liao Palace with his peerless cultivation. ”

Yelu Deguang shook his head: "I can't go, I personally led 300,000 troops to the south, if these 300,000 died in the Central Plains, and I swaggered back to be the emperor, I don't have this face." I live and die with the army, and I am ready to defend Kaifeng, waiting for you to capture Cangzhou or have a way to live. ”

Yerod now knew that he had been carried away by the victory, and now he knew what he had to do. Now you can't go out of the city to meet the enemy, let alone leave, leaving these 200,000 Khitan soldiers waiting to die.

"Xiao Wang is enough alone, no one can stop me wherever I want to go. Jerodin didn't force it, because he knew it was the dignity of being an emperor. At the beginning, Chu Xiangyu Wujiang kissed himself precisely because of this, all the people and horses he brought out were dead, he fled alone without face, and swaggered back to be the emperor.

Although Yeluzhen wanted to stay by Yeludeguang's side to protect him, now that the general trend has gone, he can't keep it by his side. It's better to do some serious things, as long as you can capture Cangzhou, everything will still have a turnaround. The Liao army can be allowed to flee from the northern road, and as long as there is a slow army, the frontal conflict may not be lost.

Yeluzhen didn't dare to waste time, and immediately rushed to the south gate, riding his own mount, the golden lynx, which was a mount that Yeluzhen had obtained with great difficulty, and for this mount Yeluzhen even confronted the golden lynx back and forth in that forest for half a year, and finally completely conquered this beast and surrendered sincerely. His brilliant golden fur was as invulnerable as golden armor, and his sharp teeth and claws could bite through any armor or even a sword. The body is large, but the claws are thick and strong.

Lynx belongs to the feline family and is not good at running for long periods of time, and is even better at breaking out in short bursts. But this golden lynx is different, it can continue to run for days, but its legs are shorter, and although it is faster than a horse, it is still slightly worse than Zongxin's wolf.

Jeruzhen ordered the men to open the south gate, bypass the three-way army, and go north. Guo Wei's three-way army deliberately blocked the north gate of Kaifeng, so that Yelude had no way to escape.

The Khitan cavalry is very fast, if this group of cavalry can flee north, and let a group of cavalry fight to the death every once in a while, maybe they can fight and retreat like this, and it is not necessary to escape back to the Khitan. It was to eliminate this possibility, so the army came to the north gate first. He also sent hundreds of scouts to hide in the west, south, and east gates, and if anyone wanted to break through, they would report immediately.

Guo Wei didn't talk too much nonsense with Yelu Deguang, and directly sent troops to attack the city.

The 400,000-strong army did not attack the city at the same time, but attacked the city in batches, so as not to interrupt the offensive. Regardless of casualties, regardless of sacrifice, Kaifeng must be captured as soon as possible in order to completely eradicate Yelu Deguang's henchman.

Yeluzhen didn't care about the consumption of true qi, and simply ran back to the north of Cangzhou to join the army. Even a monster like the golden lynx fell down as soon as it reached the north of Cangzhou after running for days.

Yeluzhen also immediately sent troops to attack the city, but Cangzhou has a five-shaped formation to defend the city, and there are all the troops of the three major valves, and the troops who want to capture Cangzhou Yeluzhen at this time are completely insufficient. So Yeluzhen reported the matter to the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao, and asked her to send troops to rescue her. But instead of sending troops, Empress Dowager Xiao ordered the withdrawal of troops anyway, which made Yelu really helpless.

At the same time, Guo Wei's offensive continued, but Yeluzhen insisted on holding on for three months. If it were someone else, I am afraid that it would have already fallen, but Yelu Deguang was not an ordinary person, and after he sobered up, he immediately organized a defense and delayed the time to not face the enemy head-on with the army, hoping that Yelu could really break through Cangzhou and bring troops to rescue.

But in the end, Yelu Deguang did not wait for Yelu Zhen's reinforcements, and the army was defeated in Kaifeng.

After Guo Wei entered the city, he searched everywhere, and dug Kaifeng three feet into the ground, but he didn't find Yelu Deguang, and he didn't know where he escaped from.

..............................

At this time, Yelu Deguang escaped from the east gate of Kaifeng with a thousand warriors of the personal guards, escaped by boat from the river at night, and went down the river all the way to the east. At this time, it is the turn of spring and summer, thunderstorms are continuous, the water flow is extremely fast, and there is a trace of vitality on the river. Moreover, Yelu Deguang laid the groundwork and asked a person to wear his own clothes to command the battle on the city wall, Guo Wei's character would not notice that this was a fake Yelu Deguang, so he was deceived.

After three days of sailing, he suddenly found that the mouth of the river was blocked. The river is full of driftwood and cannot be cleaned up. Something else got stuck in the driftwood, blocking all the branches and rocks upstream, and Jerod's boat couldn't move forward.

Jerod ordered the shore to come ashore, but he didn't know where he came, and led the people deep into the mountains. Such a large army would be easy to be discovered if it took the main road, so Yerod had to go deep into the mountains. At this time, Yelude only wanted to go to the seaside, and there might be a glimmer of life to return to Khitan by sea.

After entering the mountain, it didn't take long to come to a very narrow valley. Yerod didn't think too much about it, and let people hurry east, and after most of them entered the valley, they suddenly heard a strong and powerful voice.

"Greetings to the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, Master Zongxin greets you on my behalf. ”

"Who?" Yelu Deguang looked up and saw that there was a road of people hiding in the valley, and the leader was a white-robed scholar with a folding fan in his hand, staring at himself in the valley and sneering slightly.
