Geng Shouzhong was about forty years old, tall and strong, with round faces and twisted beards, his eyes were a little small, and his eyes were shrewd. As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately overwhelmed by a refutation. At this time, everyone was in danger and wanted to quickly whip up and meet Yelu Mage's main force. Who would still be willing to stay in the city and wait for death? The rebels came and went without a trace. Perhaps in a blink of an eye, they came to surround the city again, and they could not even withdraw at that time.
However, Geng Shouzhong's speculation also makes sense. After all, the evacuation of the rebels is full of weirdness. From the perspective of the battlefield situation, the rebels have no reason to evacuate unless Yelu Mage defeated the rebels and rescued Yelu Foding, the two armies met and the rebels were defeated, so they had to retreat across the board, but how big might this be?
Geng Shouzhong tried his best to dissuade him. Xiao Temo was hesitant. He was actually very scared, worried that he would be attacked during the retreat, and worried that he would be trapped to death in the city, so he could not choose.
"We must withdraw." A military governor said, "Under the current circumstances, after the king rescued Yelu Foding, considering the huge strength of the rebels and our army was depressed, we would definitely cancel the southward battle and return to Xijing. Huairen City is about 60 miles away from Xihan Ridge. As long as the rebels block it on the way, the king will inevitably abandon us in order to ensure the safety of the main force."
After saying this, Xiao Temo was shocked and fought several Cold Wars. In fact, this is true. The rebels were too powerful. The Liao army was not good at getting out of the army. As soon as he walked out of Xijing, he was besieged by the rebels. Just imagine, Yelu Ma Ge dared to fight? Even if he wanted to fight, Xiao Delidi, who was staying in Xijing, would not let him fight, let alone the emperor. The army trapped Huairen immediately cut off its vitality and could only die.
Xiao Temo did not hesitate anymore and decisively ordered to "withdraw."
Geng Shouzhong also wanted to dissuade him, but several officers rushed over and surrounded him, preventing him from approaching Xiao Temo. The battlefield was full of corpses. It was a terrible sight, especially in the river, because there were too many corpses and the water flow was blocked, forming a water flow gap.
On the other side, the rebels stood in formation, with bows and crossbows raised at the same time, and war horses neighed, ready to go.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and fear spread throughout the battlefield with the wind.
Yelu Ma Ge felt so breathless that he almost suffocated. This fear has not been there for a long time. I remember that when the Northeast Road lost Xianzhou, he was chased and beaten by Jin soldiers. There was no way out of heaven and no way to the ground, and he was very scared. Today this feeling appeared again.
Yelu Ma Ge looked up and looked around, a trace of trembling flashed through his heart. Did I fall into a trap and be surrounded by Li Hu?
Half an hour ago, the Liao army scout saw an amazing scene. Tens of thousands of rebels went south quickly. The mountains and fields were full of people. It was obvious that the rebels were carrying out intersecting siege. Everyone advised their brother to give up rescue and evacuate immediately. But they did not give up. They personally rushed to the front line to supervise the battle. The emperor had only so many troops in his hands. How much could he save? The longer he had restrained the attack on the south bank of the Wujia River, the more he could escape. The main force of the rebels began to move south, which meant that Yelu Foding had successfully broken through. At this time, the rebels on the Wujia River were exhausted. They could not stop their underground palace tent troops. As long as they broke through this river, they could return to Xijing.
As for Xiao Temo and his personal guards more than 60 miles away, they could only be thrown to the rebels. According to their own judgment, the rebels went south to encircle the land with Xiao Temo. Because the battlefield situation was very unfavorable to the Liao army, he could only withdraw. He had 30,000 to 40,000 people in his hands and was very close to Xijing. Yelu Foding might reorganize the army and come to rescue again. The rebels could not eat it. On the contrary, the vanguard army had only 20,000 to 30,000 people, mainly infantry, and far away from him. Once surrounded, the rebels were very sure to wipe out them. It was based on this speculation that he wanted to continue attacking and keep fighting back to Xijing.
However, the facts gave him a heavy blow. Who would have thought that the 50,000 Southwest Army on the Yelu Fo's top land would be wiped out in a short period of time. This is simply incredible. How many main rebel forces are there? If they are three times or even five times the Southwest Army, then there will be more than 200,000 people. In other words, Li Hu still has enough troops to surround him.
"Master, can't attack any more." Yelu Huqi persuaded anxiously. "The army came to report. They met the Bohai people. The rebels were attacking. The rebels were obviously surrounded. Let's retreat quickly. It's too late." Yelu Ma Ge closed his eyes and felt in pain. The Bison Yuan was defeated. It's understandable. Li Hu had the help of the gods. Today, Xijing was defeated in the battle, but there was no reason. The consequences were extremely serious. The Khitans not only lost Xijing, but also lost the reign of the Great Liao Kingdom. They were bound to blame for their deaths.
Yelu Mage was completely disappointed. His right hand trembled slightly and he held the hilt of the knife.
"King..." Yelu Huqi grabbed his hand. "King. This is not your fault. This is all the fault of the King of Yan. All of this is the conspiracy of the King of Yan. We have all been plotted by the King of Yan."
If the war is defeated, the commander must bear the responsibility. If he wants to shirk responsibility, he must find a reason. The best reason is to recognize the speculation of the Prime Minister of the Northern Palace, Xiao Fengxian, and admit that the King of Yan is suspected of usurping the world. In this way, Xiao Fengxian will be fulfilled, and the emperor will also be forgiven.
"If the King of Yan plots to usurpate the emperor, then the heir of the imperial throne, King Jin, whom he had previously recommended, would not be able to escape." Yelu Huqi leaned into Yelu Mage's ear and whispered, "Xiao Fengxian is determined to let the King of Qin inherit the throne. The King of Qin is his nephew. If the King of Qin becomes the emperor, he will be able to control the authority. At this moment, we can't take much care of it. So we just stand on Xiao Fengxian's side, support the emperor to make the King of Qin the heir, and completely turn against the King of Yan. Otherwise, if the King of Yan really usurpates usurpates usurpate, we will not be able to escape, and we will all be buried with him."
Yelu Ma Ge shook his head repeatedly, and two lines of old tears rolled out quietly.
"King, Yelu Yu's defection is equivalent to cutting off the land of King Jin. If the King of Yan had not firmly controlled Yanjing and his army, King Jin would have died long ago." Yelu Huqi sneered, "Li Hu suddenly entered Xijing Road and led hundreds of thousands of troops. Did the King of Yan know nothing before? Is this possible? Do you believe it? Before Li Hu entered Xijing Road, he wanted to fight Yanjing, but the King of Yan broke the siege of Yanjing with one daughter. Why? Is Li Hu not a woman? Is the King of Yan's daughter a fairy? Joke, there must be problems here, especially in today's battle, there are strange things everywhere. We must have spies inside, and there must be people from the King of Yan to report the news to Li Hu."
"Don't say it." Yelu Ma Ge could no longer hold it back. Suddenly, he opened his eyes angrily and shouted, "Don't say it."
Yelu Huqi took two steps back, with a hint of mocking at the corner of his mouth, then waved at the flag soldiers, "Send the order. Go to Qifeng Mountain and quickly retreat to the tiger's mouth, hurry up, hurry..."
The main force of the Liao army retreated rapidly.
Dong Xiaochou immediately sent an order, Mu Taoli and Hu Li quickly crossed the Wujiahe River with the First Army, and then covered up the killing. Hu Jiayong and Hu Lie Army with the Third Army, and Wu Xiong and Hu Lie Army followed.
"I urgently report to the general general, Baoshuai, and Yelu Mage is retreating. Please be careful."
"Say Mao Shuai again, Yun Shuai, the main force of the Liao army is retreating, please set up a formation and prepare to block it."
Xie Zhibin immediately sent an order. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Deputy Commander, Yelu Ma Ge returned from defeat in this battle. How did he explain to the Khitan Emperor after he returned? Will his head fall? According to the information provided by Monk Xiao, Yelu Ma Ge is the only one who can fight well by his side. If he dies, it will be great news for us."
Dong Xiaohou smiled and shook his hand, "For the Khitan Emperor, as long as you are loyal to him, defeating the war is irrelevant. You can be an official and enjoy high-ranking officials and generous salaries..." Suddenly, he thought of something, frowned slightly, and pondered. After a moment, he said to Xie Zhibin, "The Liao army and Xijing should maintain close contact. Xijing is very close to Xihanling, and Xijing has no reason not to know that Xihanling is fighting fiercely."
"Yes, according to the principle, Xijing should send reinforcements." Xie Zhibin said, "But according to the scout's return, there was no movement in the direction of Xijing. Could it be..." He looked at Dong Xiaochou and hesitated, "There is no army in Xijing?"
"If there were troops in Xijing, Yelu Ma Ge would never retreat. He would definitely continue to attack." Dong Xiaochou said loudly. "Tell me that Hu Jiayong should not cross the river. Immediately lead the resentful army to surround Xijing, hurry up, hurry..."
"Surrender Mu Taoli again, immediately draw the fourth general of Hu Lie, quickly head north to the Great Wall, occupy Zhenchuan Fort, and cut off the connection between Xijing and the north of the Great Wall."
Xie Zhibin did not dare to neglect and immediately sent an order.
Xiao Temo took his army out of Huairen City and headed north at full speed to meet Yelu Mage.
When Mao's army received the news, he was overjoyed and immediately sued Li Hu, asking him to draw two generals and horse troops from the Bohai Army to support him. Li Hu was also very surprised to hear that the Liao army had left the city, so he rushed to Gao Baolong and ordered him to take the two generals and horse troops to the battlefield of Wangjiabao in person.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Liao army arrived at Wangjia Fort.
Suddenly, the horns roared together, and a large army rushed out of the sky, like a flood, rushing over and over again, and in a blink of an eye, the army approached, the horse galloped, and the huge roar was deafening.
The Liao army was shocked and rushed to fight. Before they could set up a formation, a large army suddenly emerged from the flanks and roared out of the dense woods. The knights were as powerful as tigers, and the blockers were invincible and they killed the enemy formation.
The Liao army was caught off guard, and the flank formation was destroyed and immediately became in chaos.
Xiao Temo was shocked and frightened. At this time, he remembered Geng Shouzhong's words. When he was regretful, he gave an order that could destroy the entire army and retreated to the city.
After this order, the generals of the army were at a loss and the army was in chaos in an instant. They had already set up war positions, but had to withdraw the formation; those who were lined up turned around and ran away; those who had been killed by the rebels saw the chaos in front of them, so they simply ran wherever there were more people. Soon, the entire battlefield was in chaos.
Gao Baolong and the two generals Bohai Army arrived head-on, and Chu Xiaoyao commanded the Fifth Army of Huliu and then covered up the killing.
Abaddon commanded the Second Hu Lie Army to surround and kill from both wings. The Fourth Hu Lie Army of Gaoyuandi blocked the Liao army's retreat.
When the fierce battle was in full swing, Tuozi Yingqin came with Yunshuo Army.
