At this time, a meeting was taking place in Youzhou City. Yelu Shougu saw that he could not enter the city, so he came up with an idea. He dug an authentic tunnel outside the city, took advantage of his familiarity with the sewer, and joined the sewer, and led his men to the city. Yelu Shougu's entry into the city brought news outside the city and hope.

Soon he established another wonderful achievement.

When Zhao Kuangyi arrived at the city of Youzhou, he realized its strength. The entire city wall was thirty-six miles long and nearly two meters thick. The city was more than three meters high. It belonged to the largest and most sturdy city among the five Khitan capitals.

In order to break through this city, Zhao Kuangyi tried his best to do anything but was helpless.

In desperation, Zhao Kuangyi selected 300 death squads and sneaked into the city on a dark and windy night. However, shortly after entering the city, all of them were captured by Yelu Shougu.

The worst thing is that Youzhou City is surrounded by plains, and it is difficult to get stones. Because the tiger cannon lacks stone bullets, it gradually cannot exert its power.

At this moment, Zhao Kuangyi saw the memorial of Song Jiu.

So he summoned the generals to discuss.

Pan Mei also received a letter from Song Jiu.

If Song Jiu's memorial arrived a few days in advance, Zhao Kuangyi might be angry.

Who was the person in the city? Han Derang, who was in power, and more than 10,000 Han soldiers. The Song Dynasty's official army came to restore Youzhou. From then on, the Han people in Youzhou no longer had to be second-class nations.

So what are you going to care about reinforcements?

But I didn't expect that the group of Han soldiers in the city were so tenacious. Obviously, they would not be able to take over Youzhou City for a while, so the Khitan reinforcements would arrive sooner or later.

In fact, soldiers were not brave in this battle. Now this army is mostly veterans who have been through the battlefield, rich in experience and very tenacious, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Khitans. Not to mention weapons.

It cannot be said that there is no general. Even though Guo Jin died, Pan Mei, Li Hanqiong and others were still first-class generals. Once Zhao Kuangyi is lost, they will be able to see their role immediately.

The main reason is that Zhao Kuangyi does not reward him. In addition, he is arrogant and authoritarian, and these generals are not very motivated, so he is too lazy to use his brain. Anyway, the emperor will not listen after he is in charge, so let the emperor do whatever he wants.

However, it's too late.

Before Yelu Xiu Ge arrived, Yelu Sha first brought an army from Yunshuo in time, and then he saw the role of Yelu Xiezhen. The first was to be stationed in Qingshui River, allowing Yelu Sha’s reinforcements to arrive at Qingshui River from Deshengkou unimpeded, and the second was to preserve their strength. The two armies met and immediately became an army of 100,000.

It is obviously impossible to expel anything at this time.

Then fight.

Moreover, Yelu Sha lost so badly in Baima Mountain in the battle, what's the terrible thing? The two armies fought in Gaoliang River outside Xizhimen of Youzhou. Sure enough, Yelu Sha made a mistake in command because of his inability to do so. The Song army then chased after him, but at this time, hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers were seriously overdrawn and they chased north for only a dozen miles and could not run.

In the evening of that day, the Song army set up a camp on the banks of Gaoliang River to rest.

When night came, just as all the soldiers were sleeping soundly, suddenly there were torches everywhere outside, illuminating the dark sky as bright as day.

The demon, Yelu Xiu Ge, who was the most worried about in Song Jiu, has arrived.

Hearing that Yelu Sha sent troops to Youzhou, he knew Yelu Sha's ability and was worried that something would happen, he drew 30,000 elite troops from the army, took the path, and rushed to the camp day and night. He came to the front of the Song army camp, and rushed straight to the camp without stopping.

It was not until this time that another cunning fox showed its minions. Although Yelu Xizhen's army was incorporated by Yelu Sha, he kept stabilizing his army. He wandered outside the battlefield, even if Yelu Sha's army was defeated.

He has only launched the three armies and cooperated with Yelu Xiuge to rush towards the Song army fiercely.

At the same time, Yelu Xuegu and Han Derang in the city heard the news and immediately opened the door and arranged a formation, and drums were ringing from all sides, bewitching people in the name of robbing the spoils of war. They called on the people in the city to come out of the city to cheer.

This is the Han people Zhao Kuangyi is counting on.

In the face of interests, it doesn’t matter whether the Han people or the Khitan people. The one who is really disappointed is Song Jiu. He heard it later. He sighed secretly in his heart. It turned out that it started to happen when he was the ancestor.

However, even so, the Song army was not defeated. The real reason for the defeat was unexpected that Song Jiu could not even be beaten to death.

The Song army was very tired at this time, but the Khitan side might not be much better. The soldiers and civilians who Han Deg gave up the city were purely motivated.

Yelu Sha's subordinates had long been unaware of where to go. Although Yelu Xizhen was cunning, his morale was a little depressed because he looked weak. As for Yelu Xiuge's subordinates, they had already been unable to breathe and had worse physical strength.

As long as the Song army recovers, not only will it not be able to win, but it may also be defeated.

While charging, Yelu Xiu Ge looked at the enemy camp opposite and suddenly saw something, that was the yellow umbrella cover.

Until now, Zhao Kuangyi has performed well and often leads the way.

This time, he led the way and was in charge of his own.

So Yelu Xiu Ge rushed towards the Huangluo umbrella with countless arrows.

A very familiar scene, not bad, it is a replica of Chai Rong's battle in Gaoping. The soldiers behind Yelu Xiu Ge fell one by one, but under Yelu Xiu Ge's desperate sprint, he finally entered the Song army camp and approached Zhao Kuangyi like a whirlwind.

Seeing the God of Killing approaching, Zhao Kuangyi did something that he regretted for half his life. He became cowardly and began to run away like the Northern Han emperor.

Zhao Kuangyi fled, and the entire Song army was in chaos and defeated.

At this moment, Yelu Xiu Ge suddenly fell down from his horse. His personal soldiers quickly helped him up. It turned out that he had been hit by several arrows just now, but at this time he gradually lost his support. But just before he fell into a coma, he issued a fatal order: "Don't spread the news of my injury, give orders for me, and pursue me."

Another man also got several arrows. Zhao Kuangyi was also shot several arrows under the pursuit of the Khitan army. Fortunately, it was not fatal to be fatal.

He endured the pain and was confused and did not know where to escape. At this moment, a general rushed out and saw Zhao Kuangyi, he turned over and dismounted, and said, "I am late to save the emperor."

It turned out that Yang Ye was here.

After Song Jiu sent off the memorial, he was still worried. So he gave Yang Ye an order, asking him to go to the front line immediately and do nothing. You use the name of escorting food and grass to wander on the edge of the battlefield. Once the army is unfavorable, you will immediately break in and protect the emperor no matter what.

Zhao Kuangyi cannot die.

Maybe Zhao Dezhao will do better or worse than Zhao Kuangyi. However, as long as Zhao Kuangyi dies and he has already put Zhao Kuangyi's trademark, his fate will be very tragic.

As soon as Yang Ye arrived at Gaoliang River, he saw the Song army defeated and immediately rushed towards Zhao Kuangyi's Huangluo umbrella. However, the defeat of the army blocked his way. In a hurry, he fought a bloody way, regardless of whether it was a Khitan or a Song army. Those who blocked me died and those who let me live. They did not follow him until then.

"Yang Qing, why are you here?" Zhao Kuangyi said happily.

"This... I just escorted the food and grass, and saw His Majesty and followed him." Yang Ye was not stupid. He couldn't say it was Song Jiu's arrangement, it was not a good thing, so he told a small lie.

"Let's go." Zhao Kuangyi said. In this moment, another Khitan was killed.

Yang Ye escorted Zhao Kuangyi to retreat this small group of Khitan soldiers and retreated to Zhuozhou. Before dawn, Zhao Kuangyi could not figure out the details and dared not enter the city, so he retreated to Jintaitun.

...

"Report!" The spy rushed over and before the horse could stop, he turned over and dismounted and said, "Mr. Song, something big is not good."

Upon hearing the news ahead, Song Jiu immediately said, "Go."

Now I only know how defeated the front line was. I don’t know how it was. But Song Jiu reacted and had to stabilize Zhuozhou first. The army was defeated, and the most casualties were not during wartime, but during collapse. Unlike the Khitan, the Song army was mostly infantry, and the death rate was higher during defeat.

Therefore, Zhuozhou must be defended. As long as Zhuozhou is present, defeated soldiers from all directions will flee to Zhuozhou and reduce their sacrifices.

If it was too late, the Khitans would take Zhuozhou, and I would regret it at that time.

Song Jiu divided the troops into three routes, and led his cavalry to Zhuozhou first. The remaining infantry then caught up. Some civilians also gave them weapons and asked them to stay at Qigou Pass.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyi happened to flee to Jintaitun, one left and one right, not the same place, and the two of them missed it.

When Song Jiu came to Zhuozhou, he was surprised to find that it was even better than he had imagined.

Yelu Xiuge was in a coma, and the Khitans were also afraid, so they chased him to Zhuozhou and retreated back to Youzhou.

Zhao Kuangyi was gone, and Pan Mei and other generals were unwilling to fight. However, under their organization, they maintained most of the formations well, and gathered many defeated soldiers of the central army along the way, slowly retreating to Zhuozhou City.

The losses were heavy, but better than Song Jiu had expected. At least most of the main forces of the Song army were still there.

In terms of victory or defeat, although the Song army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, the Song army has also killed many Khitan soldiers until now. The Song army has failed to conquer and the Song Dynasty's economy has been traumatized, but Youzhou has also been destroyed. The battle of both sides is injured, which can only be said that the Song army suffered a greater loss.

This result was long ago as Song Jiu expected.

Compared with the bleak clouds in the city, Song Jiu was in a better mood than the generals when he saw that most of the imperial guards were able to escape to Zhuozhou City safely.

Zhuozhou was in his hands, and the losses were not as serious as he thought. Therefore, Song Jiu no longer paid attention to it, but focused on a person's whereabouts, which was more important.

Song Jiu asked, "Where is Your Majesty?"

"I don't know." Pan Mei replied with her eyes blankly.

"What about Yang Ye?"

"Yang Ye?"

"Liu Jiye."

"I know, didn't he carry food and grass?"

"Although he escorted food and grass, he was on the front line."

Pan Mei didn't understand very much. Now even the emperor didn't know where he was, so she asked Yang Ye.

It was unclear at this moment, and he didn't dare to explain it. Song Jiu asked Yang Ye again, and Pan Mei pulled him aside and whispered: "Don't mess around, something big will happen in Zhuozhou soon."

"What's the matter?"
