Zhao Kuangyi escaped with ease and hid among the defeated troops with the cronies he had cultivated over the years.
At this moment, only Brother Yelvxiu is still fighting hard in the entire Khitan.
"Commander, withdraw!"
Jin Yingjun came to Brother Yelusiu's side. His face was bloody and there was a wound on his left shoulder. He was hastily bandaged with a cloth and barely stopped the bleeding.
Brother Yelvxiu pursed his lips, looked around anxiously, looked at his colleagues who were defeated like a mountain, and said unwillingly: "If we retreat at this time, we, Daliao, will no longer have any chance of survival."
With his extraordinary intelligence, he couldn't see that at this moment, he was powerless.
But he didn't dare to retreat...
No one knows what this defeat means better than Brother Yelvxiu.
Facing the three-pronged army in the Central Plains, the Khitan almost devoted all its national strength to deal with it.
Heavy troops were stationed in Dading Prefecture, and the remaining troops were arranged in Pyongyang City and Liaoyang Prefecture.
Pyongyang City has been conquered by Lin Renzhao, and there are not even ten elites left in the city.
Liaoyang Prefecture is now facing attacks from two armies. Even if Yelu Xianshi is calm and capable, relying on the strength of Liaoyang Prefecture to withstand the attacks of Pan Mei and Lin Renzhao, there is still no way to return to Beijing to help.
Their troops and horses have been severely damaged after successive defeats. These 80,000 people are almost the last elite of their Khitan. Once they are lost here, there will be no elites in the country.
Even though the entire Khitan people were soldiers and they forced the people to join the army, they were still able to assemble a considerable army. But facing the current Dayu Forbidden Army, what could the newly recruited people do to fight against them?
He was still fighting to the death at this moment, not because he thought there was still a chance, but because he wanted to use his own power to delay some time so that some defeated Khitan soldiers could safely exit the battlefield.
Integrating the remnant troops, leading the old soldiers with new recruits, and taking advantage of the complex environment of Shangjing's high altitude and high altitude, we can have the last chance of survival.
Jin Yingjun said anxiously: "Commander, in this situation, if you continue to hold on, what's the difference between dying and dying?"
Brother Yelvxiu suddenly had an idea, raised his spear high, and shouted: "I, Brother Yelvxiu, once promised to lead you to achieve a great career. I am afraid that I will break my promise today... I miss my wife, children and family and follow the Jinbu General to retreat.
, those who are willing to die with me, follow me and charge in that direction!"
As he spoke, he pointed his spear at them, but they were retreating in the opposite direction.
He didn't say much, but rushed directly in the direction where his spear was pointing.
Brother Yelusiu's personal guards did not hesitate at all, and followed him to attack south.
Jin Yingjun was dumbfounded for a moment, remembering everything that happened after he surrendered. Isn't it because of this resolute and courageous commander that he achieved today's achievements after becoming a general in Korea?
Damn it, give it a go.
Jin Yingjun expressed his filial piety: "The Marshal has been as kind to us as a mountain. Whether in life or in death, I am determined to follow him for the rest of my life. If I have any concerns, I will retreat on my own. I will follow the Marshal on this last journey without fear of life or death."
As he spoke, he followed brother Yelvxiu and galloped southward.
Brother Yelvxiu took the lead, and with blood spattering, he overturned the soldiers in front of him and walked against the wind, carving a bloody path.
The cavalry of the Royal Camp Division were chasing the enemies fleeing north. Suddenly, a troop went in the opposite direction and broke through to the south, which had a miraculous effect.
After Brother Yelvxiu broke through the siege, he ran straight towards a high slope in his memory without stopping. At the same time, he also said to the guards beside him: "Raise the banner of our Daliao and let the people of the Central Plains see it."
The fearless courage of our Khitan warriors!"
The most outstanding general of this era did not lose his rationality in this life-and-death situation, but instead came up with a way to deal with it.
Capture the thief and capture the king.
Different from Yelusha's desperate attack, Brother Yelusiu was extremely confident in his attack this time.
In this battle, regardless of Zhao Kuangyi's command, the previous series of calculations did successfully weaken the military strength of the Central Plains.
Brother Yelvxiu believed that Yiluo Youdu was courageous and would not deploy too many troops beside him when his troops were insufficient.
He was sure that Luo Youdu had no extra troops around him, so this was an opportunity he could take advantage of.
As for the location of Luo Youdu, Brother Yelvxiu could only take a gamble.
Since the beginning of the war, Yang Ye has been able to come and go freely in Monan. Yelu Wuzhi has already suspected that there is an artifact in the Central Plains that can see far away and can detect their movements everywhere and take corresponding measures.
Brother Yelu Xiu's fight with Cao Bin further verified Yelu Wuzhi's guess.
It's just that they don't know what kind of magical object it is, which can see things miles away like the clairvoyant in the legendary story.
But one thing is certain, no matter how magical things are, they cannot escape the laws of nature.
Like at night, and like the back of a hill or hill.
These were all discovered by Brother Yelu Xiu during the battle with Cao Bin.
Based on this assumption, the divine object cannot see through the hills, and naturally it cannot pass through the crowd.
If you want to take charge of the overall situation, in addition to possessing a divine object, there is another condition: you must stand on a high place, stand high and see far. Only by using height and assisting the divine object can you see the battle situation clearly.
A famous general like Brother Yelvxiu certainly understands the importance of geographical location. The surrounding terrain has already been deeply rooted in his mind. Behind Gao Huaide, the place with the highest terrain and the best view is where his target is.
------------------
"His Majesty!"
Han Wei suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the northwest: "Brother Yelvxiu is coming to kill us!"
Luo Youdu, who was enjoying the joy of victory, suddenly heard the news and hurriedly looked for news. Sure enough, as far as he could see, a cavalry team of more than 1,500 people was rushing toward him.
Their banners were fluttering and their momentum was particularly great.
Luo Youdu frowned. There were only about thirty people around him, including scribes like Lu Duoxun and Han Wei.
If Brother Yelvxiu were to get close, there was a real possibility of him being captured and beheaded.
It's just that the opponent's banners are everywhere, but they have no intention of dying down.
Could it be?
Luo Youdu realized that the other party must have realized that he had a telescope here and it was impossible for him to approach mysteriously.
They were tired from fighting for a long time and had to recharge their batteries. It was impossible to catch up if they ran away.
He acted like this to show Cao Bin and Gao Huaide. He wanted them to know that their emperor was in danger and needed support.
This was used to weaken the pursuit force and reduce unnecessary losses to the Khitan.
Who can ignore the emperor's danger?
"What a great brother Yelvxiu!"
Luo Youdu couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration, this Khitan's number one general really lived up to his reputation.
amazing!
Lu Duoxun said in a panic: "Your Majesty, please withdraw!" It's not that he didn't see the problem, it's just that as a scholar like him, he always has the idea that a gentleman should not build a dangerous wall. No matter what thoughts brother Yelu Xiu has, he is not willing to take risks.
Even more unwilling to take risks with Luo Youdu.
Luo Youdu looked at Brother Yelvxiu who was running towards him quickly and smiled softly: "For this guy, I think I can try to take a risk!"
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, he began to issue orders: "Sound the cannon for the attack and tell Cao Bin, Gao Huaide and the others to continue the attack and kill the enemy as much as possible!"
"Qin Han, you lead ten people to cover Lu Can's army. Privy Han will retreat according to the order. You will meet our troops along the way and ask him to support towards Qijin Mountain..."
As he spoke, he smiled at Fu Yanqing and said, "My father-in-law was invincible when he charged into battle, but he didn't know how good he was at escaping?"
Fu Yanqing lightly stroked his beard and joked: "I can live to see Your Majesty establish Dayu, expel the Khitan, and attack Linhuang all because of my escape skills."
Everyone, please go and try it soon.】
Luo Youdu no longer said anything, but looked at Brother Yelvxiu who was speeding towards them, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: If the twin walls of the Song Dynasty and the twin walls of the Liao Dynasty were included in the bag, who else would be the opponent in the world?
?
------------------
North bank of Laoha River.
Like a mourning dog, Yelvbi sat on the ground in a state of embarrassment, panting heavily, looking at the blank eyes of the surrounding soldiers with a bitter taste in his mouth.
Thinking of the grand occasion of his own expedition, with banners covering the sky and the sun, and hundreds of thousands of troops marching forward to fight.
Thinking about the current desolation, I wonder how many of the 100,000 troops will be able to return to Linhuang Mansion.
"Your Majesty, the military supervisor is back!"
A sharp look flashed in Yelv Bishe's eyes, and anger surged in his heart. How dare he come back?
He has never been so embarrassed in his life. The person who caused all this was Zhao Kuangyi. If the other party hadn't patted his chest and promised to win, he would have already adopted Brother Yeluxiu's strategy. Maybe he would have safely returned to Linhuang Mansion at this moment. Why did he suffer such a big blow?
Defeat and fall into today's situation?
Xiao Taogu directly scolded: "How dare this thief come back?"
As the commander of the left-wing army, he personally felt the feeling of powerlessness. The number of troops in his hands was clearly greater than that of his opponents, but because of the collapse and chaos of the command system, the entire army was defeated.
Yelvbi took a photo of the indignant Xiao Tuogu, but his heart moved. Someone must take responsibility for this defeat, and Zhao Kuangyi was undoubtedly the best choice to quell the public anger.
"His Majesty!"
Zhao Kuangyi let out a cry of grief, crawled to the ground and came to Yelv Bishe, and said: "I can see that your Majesty is fine, and I will die without regrets."
Yelvbishe let out a long sigh and said nothing.
Xiao Taogu said angrily: "I think you are a trickster from the Southern Dynasty. You commanded randomly and ruined my 80,000-strong army."
Zhao Kuangyi said angrily: "Xiao Tong's envoys must speak according to their conscience. If Brother Yelvxiu had not had other intentions and repeatedly disobeyed orders, leading to the defeat of the entire army, we might have recaptured Dading Mansion by now.
"
Zhao Kuangyi's words immediately aroused public anger. Brother Yelvxiu himself has a gentleman's style, is polite to everyone, and is very popular.
Zhao Kuangyi threw the blame to Brother Yelvxiu, making those who were originally dissatisfied with him even more angry.
The same was true for Xiao Taogu. Brother Yeluxiu didn't have a close relationship with him, but Brother Yeluxiu's father Yeluwansi was his old boss. He scolded: "You are a rat who fled here in fear of death, but you don't know that you are slandering him."
The people are still fighting to the death, delaying time for us..."
Zhao Kuangyi pointed at his nose and scolded him, and said angrily: "Xiao Tongjun's envoy can escape faster than a certain person, right? I'm a rat, who are you?"
Xiao Taogu drew out his sword.
Zhao Kuangyi did not give in and drew his sword.
The situation is tense.
But neither of them dared to take action in front of Yelu Bishe.
"That's enough!" Yelu Bishe shouted angrily: "Do you still have me in your eyes?" He glared at Zhao Kuangyi and said: "Zhao Jianjun has some things that you shouldn't say nonsense!"
Zhao Kuangyi's performance these days is far better than Brother Yelvxiu. He values Zhao Kuangyi more than Brother Yelvxiu. However, in terms of trust, Zhao Kuangyi, a Han Chinese, is far inferior to Brother Yelvxiu.
Who is Zhao Kuangyi?
When escaping, he had already considered the way to evade. He abandoned the sword on the ground and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this is not a lie. When you give orders, your subordinates feel strange. Brother Yeluxiu refuses to listen at all times.
Command and cause trouble. It was not until our army was defeated that my subordinates discovered that Brother Yelvxiu actually led his troops and horses to the south with the flag held high. Your Majesty... This is not nonsense. Commander You Yuzhi also saw it with his own eyes.
Let me ask, what does Brother Yelvxiu want to do when we go south now?"
Yelv Bishe looked lost, "Impossible, impossible!"
He asked someone to call You Yuzhi.
You Yuzhi is a subordinate of Yelu Xidi and belongs to the former army.
When Yelvxiu Ge went south, he passed by the flank of the front army. There were many people who saw Yelvxiu Ge marching south with his banner flying, and they were all witnesses.
"Brother Yelvxiu, how dare you betray me?"
Yelv Bishe roared in anger and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Brother Yelvxiu was promoted by him step by step, the direct lineage within the direct lineage. For all good things, Yelvbishe’s first thought was of Brother Yelvxiu...
He was given good soldiers, good equipment, and opportunities to make meritorious deeds. In order to promote him, he even offended many old officials.
As a result, after cultivating him with all his heart, he developed a traitor?
Xiao Taogu did not dare to say anything else, but it was really hard to believe that Brother Yelvxiu would rebel.
"Your Majesty!" Yelvhaisi looked frightened and ran to the nearby area and said: "There was a mutiny in Enzhou. The city chief Shi Weizibu heard that our army was defeated and rebelled. Now the one hanging on the tower of Enzhou is from the Southern Dynasty.
Flag."
Yelv Bishe said sadly: "Is it possible that Heaven will destroy our country, Liao?"
Enzhou was a city built by Yelu Deguang in the old land of Wuhuan. It was built by taking advantage of the favorable location. Although it was not as strong as Dadingfu, it could still resist the cavalry of the Central Plains.
After this defeat, Enzhou was the only place where they could reorganize their remaining troops.
The loss of Enzhou meant that they had no place to hide and rest in a radius of hundreds of miles.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and the shouts of killing came from far away.
The pursuers of the Southern Dynasty were already close by.
"Quick, break the bridge, break the bridge!"
Zhao Kuangyi reacted the fastest. Breaking the bridge at this time could buy them time to escape.
But at this moment, there were still a large number of Khitan soldiers who had not crossed the Laoha River. When they saw someone in front of them who was trying to destroy the bridge, they all cursed loudly. They were good at archery and shot directly at the river bank, killing all those who tried to destroy the bridge.
Pushing, trampling, and killing each other happened again.
Yelu Bishe hurriedly got on his horse, but before he could run a hundred steps, he screamed and fell off the horse.
He was so angry that he couldn't stand the bumps for a while and fell off the horse, dragging it for more than ten steps.
Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Taogu cut off the saddle with his sword, thus saving Yelu Bishe.
Yelvbishe was so painful that he was sweating profusely. His arm was broken and his ankle was sprained. He couldn't even walk, let alone ride a horse.
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Zhao Kuangyi drove over in a carriage that stored the emperor's ceremonial utensils, and said loudly: "Quickly, help your Majesty into the carriage!"
