Luo Youdu saw that the opponent could no longer hold it anymore, and laughed loudly and said: "Command the whole army, except Tianxiong Army, all cavalry troops, to put aside everything in front of them and pursue the bandits until they break the camp. Pan Mei, you command all the infantry."
, set up formations along the river, and try every means possible to keep back the Khitan thieves who crossed the river to attack our food team."
Ever since Yelujing’s words were withdrawn.
Thousands of Khitan soldiers were like ants poking into an ant nest.
They fled in all directions with a crash.
It fully demonstrates the nomadic people’s talent for escaping.
Luo Youdu had seen this scene many times during the Northern Expedition, but every time he saw it he couldn't help but be amazed and convinced.
When fighting in the Central Plains, whenever a defeat occurs, covering up and killing is the only way to expand the results.
But when the Khitan people ran away, they were really vigorous and resolute.
Even so, Luo Youdu still did not intend to miss this opportunity to beat the drowned dog.
If you can kill one more thief, kill one more.
It would be great to expand the results of the battle and capture their military stronghold in one fell swoop.
The morale of the Zhou army was greatly boosted, and under Luo Youdu's order, they launched a frantic pursuit of the Khitan soldiers.
Yelujing was greatly frightened, and the military stronghold must not be lost again.
They had already lost their herds and then lost their military stronghold, but they were really at the end of their rope.
Yelujing whipped his riding whip wildly and ran for more than ten miles in one breath. The scene in front of him was jaw-dropping.
In front of him to the right was a small forest, which was burning with flames reaching into the sky, and the surrounding area was filled with this pungent smell.
That smell was familiar to him. It was the smell of stone paint.
At the beginning, Nan Wu gave them some, which were particularly effective in dealing with siege equipment, siege and defense.
For this reason, they also strictly prohibited the sale of stone paint, encouraged hunters to search for stone paint in the mountains, and gave generous rewards to hunters who discovered stone paint.
At this moment, how could Yelu Jing not know the reason?
You fooled yourself again!
The billowing smoke I saw on the front line was the burning woods, not my military camp.
Ashamed, angry, and helpless.
Han Kuangsi looked at the woods in front of him, feeling resentful in his heart.
Before the formation, he felt that something was wrong. There were only so many soldiers in the Zhou Dynasty, and except for Han Lingkun's cavalry, they all fought against them on the banks of the Sanggan River.
Letting Han Lingkun sneak attack on the herd was indeed negligent, thinking that the target was to rescue the grain team.
Now that Han Lingkun has appeared, where will the cavalry come from to attack their camp?
He was about to open his mouth to persuade.
I heard the word "withdraw" from Yelujing.
Han Kuangsi felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. As soon as he said this word, even the gods could not save it.
Sure enough, the other party just burned a forest, which crushed Yelujing's inner defense line.
Suddenly, there were shouts of killing coming from behind. Yelujing and Han Kuangsi looked back.
Not far behind the team, the flags of the Central Plains Army were fluttering, and the army attacked them in a mighty manner.
Yelujing looked at the panicked soldiers beside him, wondering where he still had the courage to fight again.
"Run, run!"
Yelujing waved his riding whip and ran towards the military camp regardless.
**********
Khitan military camp.
Gao Xun had a sullen face since he returned to the military camp.
After being frightened by three thousand cavalry, Youzhou Beicheng waited for a long time in vain.
If it hadn't been for the other party's trick, even if they couldn't get back all the cattle and sheep, they wouldn't be left with none like this.
Now they are unable to fight for a long time and can only place all their hopes on today's battle.
"King!"
Just when Gao Xun was secretly angry, a man came in a hurry, looking horrified.
Gao Xun recognized the person coming, Han Kuangsi's eldest son Han Deyuan.
They are all Khitanized Han people. They are naturally close to each other and have gathered a lot of strength in Khitan.
"My dear nephew, you are not on the front line, what are you doing here?"
Gao Xun had an ominous premonition.
Han Deyuan said: "Your Majesty, please take a moment to speak."
Gao Xun immediately backed away.
Han Deyuan elaborated on the defeat on the front line.
Gao Xun's face was pale, without any blood, and he had only one thought in his mind.
"It's over, it's over!"
Han Deyuan said eagerly: "My father said that there is still a way to return to heaven. Whether I, the Khitan, can survive this disaster depends entirely on the king."
Gao Xun grabbed Han Deyuan's arm and said, "My dear nephew, please tell me."
He and the Khitan were both prosperous, and he also knew that Han Kuangsi was very resourceful and had a trace of desire in his eyes.
Han Deyuan said: "While the news of our army's defeat has not yet reached us, your Majesty can tell the three armies that our army has seized the Zhou army's food and grass. The enemy risked his life in the battle, and your majesty used a deceitful strategy to lure the enemy into the camp to surround and annihilate him. Father. He said there is still some kerosene in the village, so use it all."
Gao Xun reacted instantly and laughed: "How wonderful! Han Xiang has a good plan to lure the opponent into the military camp, cut off their retreat with fire, and surround and annihilate them. Without further delay, I will make arrangements immediately."
Gao Xun followed Han Kuangsi's idea and told the soldiers in the camp that they had intercepted the grain from the Central Plains and were preparing a plan to ensnare him.
This kind of rhetoric may not be able to fool individual generals, but it is still very effective in appeasing ordinary soldiers.
With the morale of the army feeling at ease, the military tent was stuffed with stone paint from the camp and hay and platycodon used to feed the horses, and ambushes were laid on all sides.
Luo Youdu kept biting Yelujing and attacked and killed many straggler Khitan soldiers along the way.
Murong Yanzhao laughed and said: "The Khitan military stronghold is ahead. We can take advantage of their defeat to seize their military stronghold and destroy them directly."
This fierce tiger general was doing a simple bandage at the rear and learned that Luo Youdu was going to attack with his entire army.
Without saying a word, he directly raised his horse to fight.
Murong Yanzhao had attacked the Khitan army's camp and was familiar with the situation nearby.
When Luo Youdu heard what Murong Yanzhao said, he felt vigilant in his heart.
He originally had this intention, and only by taking advantage of the situation to attack the enemy's stronghold could he maximize his victory.
But if Murong Yanzhao could think of it, would the enemy not think of it?
Luo Youdu saw that Yelujing had already rushed into the military camp, and the defeated soldiers rushed in in a swarm.
Without any hesitation, Luo Youdu shouted: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops!"
The ear-splitting golden gong sounded, and the Zhou soldiers who were about to break through the camp bravely looked at each other at first. However, seeing that the cavalry of the Royal Camp Division had already retreated as soon as the golden gong sounded, they could only retreat.
Murong Yanzhao looked surprised.
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "If the opponent sends an army to the rear at this moment to buy them time to enter the camp and prepare for war, then what we have to do is to directly defeat the blocking troops and enter the camp. But now, the feeling the opponent gives me is For example, if you open the door and invite us in, there may be something fishy about it.
You know, they were not defeated by us, but they couldn't stand the pressure and retreated on their own. They still have the strength to fight, so just give up when you feel like it."
"If you are too greedy, you may suffer a loss."
"We still have a big fish to eat, so there's no need to take risks."
