Shahe Station...
Yelu Ning hesitated.
Should we launch an attack, break through the rebels' blockade, and meet Yelu Gao in the pheasantuo? Yelu Gao said in the letter that the rebels are surrounding Yelu Tuo. Yelu Gao has a large army of 30,000. The rebel scouts have been investigating for several days, and it is impossible to know his strength. Now that the rebels suddenly counterattack and surround him, at least more than 100,000 troops must be used. In addition, the blocking forces on the Shaheyi line, the rebels have dispatched at least more than 100,000 troops. In other words, the main force of the rebels is not on Zhongjing Road, but on Pingzhou Road. The judgment of the King of Yan is completely wrong. The rebels' early evacuation is just a trick to lure the enemy, and the purpose is to open the distance between the Liao army's front-selected army and the main army, and then complete the siege.
Yelu Ning thought of Yelu Mage's defeat of Bison Yuan, Xiao Gan's defeat of Targlutinous Mountain, Yelu Chun's return in Chengzhou, Xiao Bao, Yelu Eliye's entire army was wiped out in Jinzhou. Li Hu used his troops and had always been elusive and had no trace to follow. This time he went south and transferred all the main forces to Pingzhou Road, and had completed the siege of Yelu Gao. Then, it was obvious that the initiative in this battle had been controlled by Li Hu. If he continued to attack forward and met Yelu Gao, he would be very likely to fall into the trap and be taken over by the rebels.
Yelu Ning wanted to retreat.
"I hurriedly told the King of Yan that Li Hu's main force was all on the front line of the Luanhe River. The rebels had surrounded Yelu Gao in the pheasantuo and cut off the connection between me and Yelu Gao." Yelu Ning thought for a moment and continued, "I am leading the army to advance towards the pheasantuo and meet Yelu Gao as soon as possible, but the rebels' intention to encircle and annihilate our selection army has been exposed. Please ask the King of Yan to quickly reinforce."
"I'll order the troops to change the formation immediately. I'll report to the third battalion of the rear army and take the baggage. I'll retreat five miles immediately."
The slave Fu family was very nervous and did not react for a moment. Yelu Ning's first order was completely opposite to the second order, which made him even more panic. However, he still issued the order quickly, then came to Yelu Ning and asked in a low voice: "Empress, are we going to retreat? Is this possible? If Yelu Gao's entire army is wiped out, the King of Yan will pursue it..."
Yelu Ning shook his head and whispered.
It was unclear in the early morning. It was inexplicable by the rebels' counterattack. Now it was clear that the main forces of the rebels were all on Pingzhou Road, and the goal was to surround and kill Yelu Gao. Yelu Gao's 30,000 troops were the imperial guards. If these 30,000 troops were defeated, the Liao army would not be able to fight this battle. The Liao army would definitely be frightened and retreated one after another. It happened that the weather was not good, and it was snowing heavily. By early spring next year, the Liao army would be unable to launch an attack. In this way, the rebels could not only successfully occupy Pingzhou Road, but also use this short time to build defense.
But for the palace tent, what is terrible is not to throw away the three prefectures of Pingzhou Road. Instead, the situation on the entire Southeast Road was controlled by Li Hu. Next year, if the Liao army attacked Pingzhou Road, the rebels could join forces with the Jin army to attack Zhongjing. On the contrary, if a war broke out on Zhongjing Road, the rebels could threaten Yanjing from the direction of Pingzhou Road. In this way, the Liao army was completely passive.
The Fu family slave was secretly heartbroken and couldn't help but fight several cold wars, "Why did it become like this?"
"Why did it turn out like this?" Yelu Ning sneered and was furious. "The king and his ministers competed with each other. The war met, but the king was not the king. The ministers were not the ministers. Some people even looked forward and betrayed their brothers and friends repeatedly, causing the situation in the Liao Dynasty to deteriorate extremely and become uncontrollable."
The slave of Fu family heard a little about the palace tent. He knew that Yelu Ning was scolding the king of Yan. He did not dare to say such things, so he had to lower his head and listen.
"Now in this world, you can't fight to win, and you can't fight to lose." Yelu Ning patted his head vigorously. "This guy who eats is his own. I don't want to throw it away in an unexplainable way. Their king and his ministers want to fight to the death. That's their business. Why should I get into this muddy water?"
"What does it mean? Yelu Ning is going to attack?" Gao Dahui looked at it for a long time and didn't understand.
Chu Xiaoyao also frowned. It seemed that this posture was about to attack, but the army's battle flags moved frequently afterwards, which meant to retreat. Is Yelu Ning going to run away? He dared to escape in the battle? He dared not save him when he saw him die? No, right?
The commander rushed to the battlefield. Li Hu hurriedly told the main force of the army that was advancing towards Shaheyi, intending to defeat Lu Long's army first, and ordered Chu Xiaoyao and Gao Dachu to take the initiative to attack, drag Lu Long's army on the battlefield, and give him a fatal blow when he was unprepared.
Chu Xiaoyao immediately ordered the three generals of the Fifth Army of Hulie to quickly arrive on the east bank of Shahe River to form an array; Gao Daqiao commanded the two generals Bohai Army to cross the river and attack immediately.
The Liao army scout reported urgently.
The rebels were coming from the direction of the pheasantutuo, and the two armies of horses and sects were advancing in parallel, covering the sky and the sea of people was like a tide, with amazing momentum.
Yelu Ning was shocked and changed color. Although the terrain of Shaheyi was conducive to the persistence of the infantry, the strength of the 30,000 Lulong Army could not be compared with that of the 30,000 palace tent troops. Once the rebels surrounded the rebels, the rebels would surround and kill each other, and the morale of the army would be in chaos and collapse would inevitably be inevitable.
"Retreat..." Yelu Ning did not hesitate and ordered to "discard all the baggage and evacuate in the northwest direction."
The northwest direction of Shaheyi is all mountainous areas. After ten thousand miles, it is the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain. Lu Long's army came from this direction and retreated from this direction. After entering the mountainous area, the mountain road was narrow. Even if the rebels chased after him, Lu Long's army could fight to the death with the favorable terrain.
The golden horn sounded, and the horn of retreat was also sounded. When the Liao army soldiers heard about retreating, they immediately became energetic, spread their legs and walked as fast as they flew. Retreat is to save their lives, and attack is to save their lives. Who is willing to save their lives these days?
Yelu Ning ordered the horse army to cut off the rear and block the attack, cover the infantry to retreat first, and then led the personal guards to run first.
"Jingjun, how many troops does the rebels have?" Fu family miss couldn't figure it out. The rebels first surrounded the pheasanttuo, then ran to surround Shaheyi, and wanted to eat two enemies in one breath. This strength is too strong, right? Of course, Li Hu is not a lunatic. His courage to do this means that he has enough strength.
Yelu Ning's face was as cold as frost, urging the horse to move quickly without saying a word. He didn't know this question either, but from common sense, inferred that under the current situation, no matter how strong the rebels are, they will only surround one or block one, because Yelu Chun's main army is right behind, and the rebels need to buy time, and it is impossible to surround two at the same time.
At this time, he suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, Yelu Gao's 30,000 palace tent troops had been wiped out. The rebels had more than 100,000 palace tent troops, and one was prepared and the other was caught off guard, and the one was unintentional. The palace tent troops might collapse instantly.
The more Yelu Ning thought about it, the more he felt that his estimate was right. He felt cold in his heart. He swung the horse whip and whipped wildly. The war horse neighed in pain, and his four hooves flew into the air, and the wind and lightning were rushing.
The slaves of Fu family and a group of entourages, the servants quickly accelerated to follow.
After Gao Dahui chased after two or three routes, he immediately saw the Liao army throwing away all the food, grass and supplies, and many Liao soldiers also lost their excess weapons, making the road in a mess.
The Bohai Army soldiers' eyes suddenly lit up and stopped chasing the enemy. They all ran to grab things and became a mess. These people hid in the mountains for several years, hungry and cold. Suddenly, they saw so many spoils, their eyes turned red, and they pounced on them like evil wolves. Even worse, they tear each other and drew their swords toward each other.
Li Hu led the Iron Guard Camp, Gao Baolong led the Bohai Army, and Abaddon led the Hulie Second Army, with nearly 20,000 cavalry, crossing Shaheyi like a tide, and chasing them with a fierce look.
Soon, they met Gao Dahammer.
Li Hu ordered the horse army to stop. Gao Dahui was ashamed and knelt in front of Li Huma to apologize. At this time, his two generals, Bohai soldiers were still plundering the spoils. The looting of his own had blocked the pursuit of the main army.
Li Hu was in a very good mood and did not blame Gao Dahui. Instead, he said a few thoughtfully. The Bohai Army was extremely poor, so let them indulge them once.
"Li Gang's plan is so amazing." Li Hu turned to look at Gao Baolong and Abaddon, and smiled happily, "We drove away Yelu Ning's Lu Long's army without any effort and won the first battle. It seems that we are sure to win this battle."
Gao Baolong was unanimous. Even if this battle was won, would it have nothing to do with the Song Dynasty? If the general general was not used to lure the enemy by retreating, could the army successfully surround Yelu Gao? Even if the Song Dynasty came out with a small idea at the last moment, the great contribution of sesame is worth boasting about? Since Li Gang came, Li Hu not only valued him, trusted him, but also respected him, which made many generals disliked him.
Abaddon even sneered at it, ignoring Li Hu's words, just pretending that he didn't hear it.
Li Hu made it very embarrassing to give two cold faces.
At this time, I received an urgent report that Lu Long's army fled and fled northwest. Because the terrain was not good, even if I chased him, I could not kill many people.
