Chapter 58 This is a trap

An error occurred while processing s private files

On the vast field, teams of fully armed rebel soldiers were marching rapidly, while teams of horses whistled past, rolling up smoke and dust.

The rebels no longer hide their traces, and the cavalry and infantry advanced together and headed south at high speed.

Li Hu and Gao Baolong led the Tieweiying and Bohai Army to divide the troops into two groups, Feng Chi and Dianzhi, and directly killed Bawangdian and Qincheng, intending to cut off the Liao vanguard army and Yelu Mage's central army, while Mao army and Hou Gu commanded the three Hulie armies and Feiyun army to go straight to Huairen City and Wangjiabao, trying to surround the Liao vanguard army.

A team of scouts rushed from the direction of Huairen City and met Li Hu's Iron Guard Camp. The scouts urgently reported that the Liao army was surrounded by Yunshuo's army in Huairen City, and there was no sign of breaking through.

Li Hu was overjoyed, "I hurriedly told Shuai Mao and Shuai Yun, and asked them to move towards Huairen City. If the Liao army breaks through, they will surround the wilderness. If they seize the city and defend the city, they will surround the city and wait for the main force to meet."

"There are many hunches and the momentum is built, and the Liao army may not dare to break through." Tie Ying smiled, "If they dare not move, we will take a big advantage and can easily cut off Yelu Mage and his vanguard." After pausing, he said again, "The Liao people's vanguard army is already our bag. If we encircle Yelu Mage again..."

Li Hu was moved. Since the Liao vanguard army was in charge of the city, there was no need for the rebel army to surround it with its main force. It could transfer Mao Shuai's Hu Lie Army to the Xihanling battlefield and then surround Yelu Mage. Then, it is very likely that this battle will be a complete victory and annihilated the Liao army. However, there are several uncertain factors here.

In order to seize the time, the rebel army headed south at full speed, and all its traces were exposed. This is equivalent to telling Yelu Mage that I have defeated Yelu Foding and am about to surround you. I just imagine what countermeasures Yelu Mage would do? Continue to attack, break through the Xihan Ridge and return to Xijing? Or turn around and join the vanguard army before the rebel army siege? These two not only waste time but also have great potential to fall into the siege. Therefore, Yelu Mage's best choice is to go west immediately, break through from Qifeng Mountain, and evacuate from the Killing Tiger's mouth.

The rebels fought continuously, and the soldiers were exhausted. It was too difficult to surround the enemy troops with more than 80,000 people on the two battlefields. And it was possible that the two enemies would successfully break through and find nothing.

Another point is that after winning this battle, the rebel army gained the initiative in the Yanyun area and partially realized the survival and development strategy based on Yanyun. The premise of this strategy is that Liao, Jin and Han scored three points of Liaodong. If this battle wiped out the Liao army and the Emperor of Great Liao lost its strength, how can he deal with the Jurchens in the future? How can he achieve the pattern of three points of Liaodong? There is no pattern of three points. The rebel army was sandwiched between the Song and Jin dynasties, and facing two powerful enemies, it was very difficult to survive.

"No. It's too dangerous." Li Hu thought for a moment and said to Tieying, "We have limited troops and cannot surround two enemies at the same time. It's better to concentrate our troops to attack one, so as not to lose both ends."

Tieying laughed it off. He also knew that his appetite was too big. However, Li Hu was too powerful. It was impossible that things could become reality. Since he said no, don't think about it.

"I urgently inform Dong Shuai. The Tiewei Camp and the Bohai Army have completed the interweaving. Please ask him to retreat to the north bank of the Wujia River."

The Liao army's vanguard army held Huairen. This was equivalent to giving the rebel army time to complete the interweaving ground. Although the Iron Guard and Bohai Army had not yet reached the predetermined position, it didn't matter. The division and siege had been successful. The fort.

The scout urgently reported that the Liao army's vanguard was surrounded by Yunshuo's army in Huairen City. The command troops rushed over. Li Hu ordered them to be surrounded in the wilderness or besieged the city. Wait until Yelu Mage retreated before attacking.

Mao Jun breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the troops to slow down and stop running. The enemy retreated to the city and walked over slowly.

Hou Jiao squatted on the ground, looking at the map, and drew a circle on Huairen City on the map, and then drew a circle on Xihanling.

"I can't eat a fat man in one bite." Mao Jun sat on the grass and smiled. "We tens of thousands of people ran wildly in the fields. Of course, Yelu Ma Ge knew what we were going to do? Either surrounding him or his vanguard army, so he had to retreat and could no longer stay on the battlefield and wait for death."

"If..." Hou Jiao pondered for a moment and said slowly, "If we can lure the Liao army out of the city and ambush the areas of Wangjiabao, Zhenzhuang and Liudongying, destroy them first, and then attack Yelu Ma Ge..."

Before Hou Gui finished speaking, Mao Jun immediately leaned over and looked at the map, nodded repeatedly, "You can try it, this is much better than forcibly siege the city."

"Telection, the ministries stop moving forward."

"I urgently asked TuoShip, the main army has arrived at the front line of Wangjiabao. Please try to drive out the Liao army in the city so that it can be annihilated outside the field."

"Speak again by the general commander, tell him our intentions, and ask him to try to hold Yelu Ma Ge and not let him run away." The drums of horns were like thunder, and the sound of killings came one after another, shocking the earth.

Ying Qin commanded Yunshuo's army and more than 100,000 people to surround Huairen City, and then made an attacking attitude, firmly restraining the Liao army in the city, but he felt guilty. After all, he only had 10,000 people, and half were newly recruited new soldiers in the mountain, and the others were unarmed mountain, and if the Liao army in the city came out, it would be all over. So he surrounded the city before dawn, and then ordered the military and civilians to light tens of thousands of torches, beat drums and drums, and scared the Liao army in the city. After dawn, he sent another five hundred horsemen to drag branches, running around the city, rolling up smoke and dust to the sky, pretending to be the main horse army coming from all directions.

The Liao army was indeed trapped, defended the city to death, and asked Yelu Mage for help. The general Zuo You shouted loudly, "We won, the general defeated the Liao army." Zuo You were surprised and happy, and snatched the letter. In the letter, the Mao army told them that the main army had defeated the Liao army at Xihanling before dawn and was now fighting fiercely with Yelu Mage. Considering the entire battle situation, the general was planning to use a unit of troops to restrain Yelu Mage, and at the same time mobilized the main force to encircle the Liao army's vanguard army, first eliminated the enemy, and then gathered all forces to surround Yelu Mage.

"Mao Shuai asked us to drive the Liao army out of Huairen City and annihilate them in the wild." After reading the letter, Zuo You frowned, "How to drive it away? We finally made such a big noise, but in a blink of an eye, we were about to stop. Are the Khitans all idiots? When we stop, they will leave the city and evacuate?"

"Mao Shuai told us to do whatever we asked us to do. Where did you come from a lot of nonsense?" Ying Qin glared at him, "Who is Mao Shuai? He is the head coach of the Hu Lie Army and the confidant of the General Commander. Can we afford to offend? Don't see that Luo Qinghan and Dong Xiaochou are both deputy chief commanders of the Rebel Army, but in comparison, except for the Tie Shuai, the Chief Commander trusts the most is Mao Shuai, otherwise the Chief Commander will hand over the Tie Shuai Army to him? This time we have finally expanded our army, and the Chief Commander also gave us the credit for the capture of Shuoying and the Chief Commander. Do you know what the meaning is? It is to trust us and give us a chance to make a fortune. If we don't listen to Mao Shuai and offend him, it is equivalent to offending the Chief Commander, and wait for trouble in the future."

Of course Zuo You understands this truth, but the problem is that the Khitans are not fools. They dare to withdraw under such circumstances? "Does they withdraw or not?" Ying Qin sneered, "We just need to follow the orders. As for the result, it is God's arrangement and it has nothing to do with us."

Zuo You stopped talking and thought to himself that you are awesome and have many ideas. You can do whatever you want.

"Transfer the order, withdraw." The hunchman opened his mouth wide, and he was very determined and straightforward, and retreated to the end.

On the city wall, the Liao army soldiers cheered and shouted with horns and drums.

Xiao Temo and the commanders of each army stood on the city tower, in amazement. The rebels came suddenly and retreated quickly. For some reason, could it be that Yelu Mage and Yelu Foding's army had already come to support?

Xiao Temo ordered to send a scout to investigate.

Before the scout left the city, the messenger from Yelu Mage arrived. The messenger had arrived long ago, but the city was surrounded and he could not enter, so he had to hide in the mountains outside the city to wait for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, this opportunity came in a flash, and even he felt it was incredible that the rebels withdrew.

"Yelu Foding was besieged in Xihanling?" Xiao Temo was shocked after reading the letter, "The main force of the rebels is in Xihanling, what army is besieging the city?"

Xiao Temo and a group of subordinates looked at each other, feeling that the rebels were like ghosts, which was unpredictable. The rebels surrounded Huairen City, which was crowded with people. This was what everyone saw with their own eyes. There were at least tens of thousands of people, and there were many horse troops. The smoke and dust that was rolled up still floated in the air and has not dissipated.

"Where is the main force of the rebels?" Xiao Temo couldn't help but ask, "The king is sure that the main force of the rebels is in Xihanling?"

The messenger nodded with certainty and roughly described the battlefield in Xihanling. Yelu Fotop had 50,000 troops, tens of thousands of grain shooting troops and a large amount of food supplies. If the rebels wanted to encircle and annihilate them, they would have at least three or even five times the force. In this way, after Li Hu entered Xijing Road, he gathered 200,000 to 300,000 troops in a short time, which was terrible.

Xiao Temo and his gang were already in shock. When he heard that Yelu Foding was surrounded, he was even more frightened. How could he dare to stay in Huairen City? Taking advantage of the opportunity of the rebels withdrawing, he quickly left and quickly met with Yelu Mage to make the best strategy.

"Can't withdraw." Someone said, "Why did the rebels suddenly evacuate? If the main force of the rebels was siegeing the Southwest Army, and the rebels should surround them tighter with the support of the king and the palace tent army. Only by surrounding us can the rebels stop us from reinforcement of Xihanling, then why did they suddenly evacuate? Obviously, they wanted to lure us out of the city, beat us outside the city, and then quickly support the battlefield of Xihanling, so this is a trap and we cannot evacuate."
