Chapter 1020 Invincible Bow Horse VS Iron Cavalry Charge IV

This is so amazing!

Yelu Zhangnu was already a little stunned. He did not encounter any danger, but was just frightened. Because the impact tactics of the Yuntai cavalry were not swarming, but concentrated their strength to hit a point. In other words, the nine teams of cavalry led by Wu Tian all achieved breakthroughs from one point and its surrounding areas. Moreover, they only attacked, did not want to fight, and left after rushing. There was no need to cut their heads without cutting. Wu Haogu was holding a telescope and watching!

Yelu Zhangnu was in a relatively good location and was a very safe area. He was not hit by Wu Tian's team and eight other teams of cavalry who were attacking with Wu Tian.

He just witnessed how less than 1,000 cavalry from the Song State abused his 2,500 cavalry and could not even find the north.

He is no match at all! His cavalry is disheveled and he has no ability to resist when he meets the cavalry of the Song Kingdom that has been crushed into formation. He is either knocked over or stabbed to death by someone's spear. The other party leaves after rushing and does not fight with his cavalry at all, so he will not suffer much loss.

You have to retreat, retreat from Jiehe City! Yelu Zhangnu's mind is still very clear and he quickly figured it out.

Not only can you stay under Jiehe Shangshi City, but you can't even stay in Majiabao, so you have to retreat all the way to Wuqing County.

Now is not the time to consider seizing Jiehe Market, but to consider whether the Song army can block the attack on Xijinfu City.

If the Song Dynasty's tens of thousands of new troops in Hebei were so powerful, then the states in the south of the mountain would probably have to be thrown to them!

But the states in Shannan lost

The Great Liao Kingdom is in danger!

How is this possible? Why is the Song people so powerful...

Yelu Yanxi was also confused. He thought to himself, why is he so confused and doesn't listen to his grandfather's last words? Everyone said that he could not provoke the Song Dynasty, but he just didn't listen. He thought that Emperor Genghis of Zhao Ji was just a joke... Emperor Genghis, it sounds very powerful, how could he be a joke? He still underestimated the enemy too much!

What to do now?

The elite troops of the Gong branch army were abused casually. Can Yanyun and the states still be defended?

"Your Majesty, Yelu Zhangnu seems to have retreated!"

"Retreat?" Yelu Yanxi looked closely and found that the four palace divisions of the villages between Xiaojia Muchang and Hanjia Grain Depot had indeed begun to retreat along the official road.

"Please move your Majesty immediately!" Zhang Jue, who was following Yelu Yanxi, was relieved at this time, so he loudly reminded the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty to retreat.

"Okay, okay... go now!" Yelu Yanxi was a little confused. Before he could react from shock and regret, he followed the left and right trusted warriors downstairs, and then got on the horse and headed for Majiabao dejectedly.

...

Brother Zhao Zhong had already approached Wu Haogu's ear at this time and whispered: "Supervisor Xuan, do you want to withdraw the troops? If you continue to fight, Yelu Yanxi might ask for peace..."

Now, Yelu Yanxi cannot ask for peace! Jiehe Market has been conducting large-scale production since the beginning of this year, and has accumulated countless building materials, weapons and parts. If the Song and Liao dynasties cease to fight, what should we do if there is so much inventory? Now we have to withdraw the inventory!

"Ming Jin!" Wu Haogu nodded slightly, "Ming Jin stopped his troops... Let Ma Zheng collect the Khitans, find a carriage to load them, and drag them into Jiehe Shang City to parade, and finally send them to Xuanfusi Fort."

The cutting of the Khitans' heads was not to repay the merits from the higher authorities, because Wu Haogu himself was the Hebei Xuanfu envoy. In theory, he was the top leader of the Hebei Song Army, and he could decide the merits of the people below himself. The role of these heads is actually to calm people's hearts.

Now, there are many people in Xuanfusi Fortress who are in a hurry!

Seeing the Khitan people retreating like a wind storm, Wu Haogu didn't wait for Ma Zheng's people to collect the enemy's collection, so he took Zhao Zhongge and others back to Xuanfusi Fortress to calm people's hearts.

"Shishuai, what's wrong?"

"Shuai Xuan, Beicheng is still there?"

"Did the Khitans attack the city?"

"Can you defend the North City?"

As soon as Wu Haogu entered his general office, he was surrounded by a group of veterans from Jiehe Market. There was also a high-ranking official, Tan Zhen, the army in Hebei, who also stood up to greet him, but did not ask questions, but just put all the questions and worries on his face.

"The Khitans retreat!" Wu Haogu smiled, "More than 10,000 Khitan cavalry have been repelled by our army. The two armies fought fiercely for half an hour, and our army won a complete victory and beheaded hundreds of them..."

"What? What? How long does it take to fight?"

After listening to Wu Haogu's report, several veterans were relieved. They didn't care how the Khitans retreated. Even if Wu Haogu spent money, it would be fine. As long as these Khitan robbers could get away from Jiehe Shangshi a little further.

But Tan Zhen raised objections.

"A fierce battle lasted half an hour."

"How could it be only half an hour?" Tan Zhen shook his head and expressed his disbelief.

"Official Tan, how long have you been fighting?" Wu Haogu asked with a smile.

"A day of fierce battle!"

One day? I haven’t eaten lunch yet! How could one day be?

"It's just one day!" Tan Zhen said, "Supervisor Xuan, the Khitan Emperor personally fought. Although he was just a vanguard, it was not a minor matter... It was a great contribution to being able to retreat the enemy in one day's fierce battle and killing hundreds of heads! It was a great victory in half an hour. Doesn't it mean that the Khitans on Jiehe are just empty soldiers? Now the emergency documents on Dingzhou Road have just arrived at Xuanfusi! How many cavalry do you plan to send to rescue Dingzhou?"

It’s still Tan Zhen and Daguan Tan thought carefully!

The ones that can fight in Hebei are the 6,000 cavalry under Wu Haogu, and at most there is a little infantry as seeds. The number of people is tens of thousands, absolutely not tens of thousands.

This number of people is Wu Haogu’s old master! If part of Dingzhou Road is divided, will Liang Zimei be ruined? Even if he does not ruin Wu Haogu’s strength, what should I do here on Jiehe? Tan Zhen is the Hebei Army in name, but in fact, Gaoyangguan Road, Dingzhou Road and Zhendingfu Road each have a military supervisor, and it is not the turn of Tan Zhen to intervene. Damingfu Road is also supervised by Ji Yi, the grain minister. Only Jiehe Cangzhou, is defended by Wu Haogu himself (now Wu Haowen has been transferred to Jingdong Road Transportation Commander, and the Hailu Supervisor is taken by Wu Haoguquan), so it is Tan Zhen’s responsibility area.

As long as the Border River is not broken by the Khitan, Tan Zhen will make contributions!

Wu Haogu's situation is similar to Tan Zhen. He was nominally the Hebei Xuanshuo, but in fact he could only travel on the front line of Jiehe. In other places in Hebei, he had only the "right to dispatch". That is, the power to allocate troops and formulate strategies to allocate the ranks of troops. The real execution has nothing to do with Wu Haogu, and he can't control them.

Wu Haogu bowed to the elders in the General Office, "Elderly, Wu still has official duties today. I will gather with you when the celebration banquet is held next day."

"Okay, I'll say goodbye first."

"Shisan Xuan, please leave it to me for the celebration banquet and the military service. It can be regarded as our efforts to defend the city."

Several veterans were all familiar with the current affairs and immediately surrendered and took on the job of holding a celebration banquet.

"Grand official," Wu Haogu sat down with Tan Zhen face to face after seeing off several veterans, "Although the soldiers on Dingzhou Road do not belong to my command, they are responsible for support after all!"

Tan Zhen was a prosecutor in Jiehe Shangshi City, so he naturally gained a lot of benefits. Now he is a grasshopper on the same rope as Wu Haogu, so naturally he cannot send the precious elites at hand to Liang Zimei.

He smiled and said, "Shisan Xuan, this matter is easy to deal with... Isn't there still Gaoyang Pass Road? The army stationed in Jiehe had just fought hard for a day before forcing the Khitan vanguard to retreat. Not only did it make people unable to fight, but it also caused great casualties! We have to rest for a while.

Therefore, you can only transfer the troops from Yangguan Road to rescue Dingzhou!"

To be honest, the current officials of the Song Dynasty, except for the empirical faction, are really not good at managing the army and fighting, but their ability to pass the blame is top-notch.

"Okay!" Wu Haogu smiled and said, "It's still possible for Officer Tan to have a solution! According to Officer Tan's wishes, he immediately moved the Hejian Mansion and asked Gaoyang Pass to send troops to reinforce Dingzhou Road!"

"The defense of Gaoyang Pass Road must also be arranged."

"Yes, yes," Wuhao Ancient Road, "then let the anti-smuggling fleet enter Yishui, so that Gaoyang Pass and Hejian Prefecture will be foolproof."

The anti-smuggling fleet of Jiehe Maritime Ware was originally used to prevent the Khitans from crossing the Biehe River, but now it is no longer necessary. The Khitan vanguard was easily beaten by Ma Zheng's cavalry and should not dare to come again.

In this way, the anti-smuggling fleet can enter Yishui and enhance the courage of Ye Zuqian, the coach of Gaoyangguan Road.

...

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

The one who admitted his guilt was Yelu Zhangnu, who ran very fast. When it was about to dusk, he had already run to Majiabao and saw Yelu Yanxi a step earlier.

Yelu Yanxi sat in the seat in a very grand hall, frowned and looked at Yelu Zhangnu. Yelu Zhangnu was defeated, but the crime was not too great. Because the Song army was so powerful!

"Then you will be exempted from your Right Central Chief, get the licence and seal the matter, and make meritorious service." Yelu Yanxi sighed and gave Yelu Zhangnu a little punishment. Then he asked, "Zhangnu, do you think this Majia Fort can be guarded?"

Yelu Zhangnu was delighted when he heard this.

Although I lost my official position, I did not lose the emperor's trust. This is the most important thing!

"I'm afraid it can't..." Yelu Zhangnu said, "Majiabao is too close to Jiehe Market, almost under your nose. Moreover, the roads around it are too well built and are close to the Sanggan River. Not only is the Song people convenient to enter and exit, our cavalry do not have much room for display.

Therefore, I suggest retreating to Wuqing County, and then scattering a large number of far-off blocks to protect the territory between Wuqing County and Majiabao, so that the Song people cannot find out the truth. In addition, we have to find a way to raise military rations in Xijinfu City..."
