March 28, the fourth year of Jianzhong Jingguo in the Song Dynasty.

The Hetao Grassland, somewhere between the Mingtang River and the Daheng River.

"Defeated! Defeated! Run away, the slogan is here..."

On the grassland, there were huge shouts like mountains and thunders, and then there was the extremely dense sound of horse hooves. I don’t know how many horse hooves were hitting the ground violently, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

In the early morning of this day, due to retreat, the morale was low and the number of Khitan soldiers and horses was trapped, and they were suddenly attacked by armored cavalry that rushed out of the morning mist. In just a few rounds of attacks, more than a thousand hall troops were destroyed by Xiao Gan's command.

Then Wanyan Xie and Wu Tian took advantage of the panic of Xiao Gan's troops retreating and decisively launched the general attack.

The tribal army of the Qing army of the Daliao River, caught off guard by nearly 400 armored cavalry, was also defeated at once, just like the armored cavalry in the Nanpishi. The army of tens of thousands of people began to collapse from the tail. The entire grassland was full of escaped Liao cavalry for a moment.

Wanyan Xie and Wu Tian commanded the 389 cavalry, who actually succeeded in one blow, breaking up more than 10,000 cavalry of Xiao Delis and Xiao Gan!

Of course, it’s just a breakup. It’s impossible to cause too much casualties to more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry by attacking more than 300 armored cavalry. Including those who trampled on each other, it would be great to be able to kill three or five hundred.

This is the advantage of cavalry! If you can't beat it, you can still escape! Especially the light cavalry that is not equipped, it will run very quickly once it runs. Moreover, these light cavalry are good at riding and shooting, and if you really want to chase them, you will definitely get their return arrow. Even if you are wearing Qingtang wart armor, you are afraid that the mount under your crotch will be shot over.

So Wanyan Xie and Wu Tian did not chase each other. After the last assault, they watched the Khitan cavalry all over the mountains and fields leave.

He also chose a high place and looked at the Khitan cavalry with a pale face, including Xiao Delis and Xiao Gan, who had just come to meet with him.

Looking around from the high ground where they were, the Khitan soldiers and horses were scattered everywhere, fleeing eastward. The abandoned cattle, sheep and horses ran around the battlefield, and no one caught them.

This is obviously not a hindrance to the style of the Bu people. It is obviously the Song army to come to the enemy!

The winning Song army didn't know what was going on, but actually missed the opportunity to easily kill the Khitans. They did not continue to chase them, but just lined up in the distance and watched coldly.

"They didn't chase..."

Xiao Delis breathed, and looked back at a broken arm, who was probably clamped with a wooden board and wrapped in a cloth strip around Xiao Gan, who was hanging around his neck.

"Trial Master, what should we do?" Xiao Gan looked at Xiao Delis in pain.

"What else can I do?" Xiao Delis smiled bitterly, "Of course I retreated to Heqingjun... See how much it lost, and then wrote a memorial to send Yuanyang to apologize!"

Xiao Delis is quite honest and never thought of lying about a great victory to deceive Yelu Yanxi.

"Taishou," Xiao Gan's arm felt ache at this time, and he had to grit his teeth and speak, "Who was we defeated?"

This is really ridiculous!

After such a big defeat, I don’t know who the enemy is?

"Of course he was defeated by Gao Qiu!" Xiao Delis smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect Gao Qiu to be so cunning and fierce... First he pretended to coax our army, and then followed with 20,000 elite troops to raid. If we hadn't returned to Li Bao, we would have been wiped out!"

What!? Xiao Ganxin said: I still think you are an honest person, but I didn’t expect you to be so cunning!

But is it really okay to report like this?

The Song army seemed to have only dispatched a few hundred armored cavalry to break up more than 10,000 of their own people. If there were 20,000 elite troops, it would be a problem whether the Qing army in the Daliao River still had any problems.

Seeing Xiao Gan frowning, Xiao Delis spoke in a deep tone, "Return to Li Bao, you won't want to report the truth, right? Our more than 10,000 cavalry were beaten by Gao Qiu's hundreds of armored cavalry... If Long Yan is furious, will you still want the head on your neck?"

Xiao Gan sighed: "It's all the weak and vulnerable state of Song. Unexpectedly, there were peerless generals like Gao Qiu. Could it be that the national destiny of our Great Liao Dynasty will take a sharp turn for the worse?"

Xiao Delis snorted: "That's not! The Song State values ​​culture over military affairs, and is most afraid of capable generals. Gao Qiu, who is a gangster, will not have a good end!"

"Are good at launching a border provocation?" Xiao Gan was stunned. "How did the Grand Master know that he was abducting a border provocation?"

"This is not obvious. I only dispatched hundreds of armored horses and put on makeup to stop the divine people... Isn't it necessary to use this kind of thing to do when driving the border? "

Xiao Gan suddenly realized, "It's still the wise master!"

...

At this time, of course, Taiwei Gao didn't know that he had committed the unforgivable crime of quarreling the border.

He was drunk by Wu Haogu yesterday and was still sleeping soundly. He didn't know that he had become a famous general who defeated more than 10,000 Khitan troops with fewer and defeated more than 10,000 Khitan troops.

Moreover, Wu Haogu, the profiteer, did not intend to let him know...

Well, because Wu Haogu, who can't fight, didn't know that the Khitan army was defeated! How could he know? He was drunk and was sleeping with Oliga in his arms!

"No one is allowed to say it out! Do you know!"

"Please don't worry, Grandmaster, we must keep our mouths tight!"

"Don't worry, the Grand Marshal, a family swears to the heavenly liar that we will never disclose the news."

To the north of the Song army camp, a small camp hidden in the grassland. Wu Haogu, Zhao Zhongge, Murong Gu, and Murong Gu met Wanyan Xie, Wu Tian and others who returned victoriously, and gave them a reward of one ingot of gold! It was Wu Haogu’s own pocket.

At the same time, Wu Haogu also issued a ban order!

This victory today is something that no matter what, people cannot know that it was done by themselves... They secretly accused private soldiers and even launched border provocations. Haha, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there are probably not many such generals, right?

"Xieye," he smiled and said to Wanyan Xieye, "Jiehe Market just wrote a letter saying that Goryeo was defeated by you... Aguda hopes that you can bring your troops back and do a big career."

"Haha," Xi also laughed loudly, "The Khitan is nothing but this, and the Goryeo country is even more vulnerable! Taiwei Wu, it seems that the day when we have the Jurchens and the Song Dynasty join forces to destroy Liao is not far away!"

Who wants to join forces with you to destroy Liao! Wu Haogu thought: I asked you to go home early to make a perjury for someone to go to Kaifeng Prefecture! The official may not believe in himself and Gao Qiu, but he will definitely believe in you, an international friend.

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "That's great! I'll be back to Kaifeng Mansion in a while. Then you and some of you will go back to you and see the official family, and talk about this."

Wanyan also bowed and bowed seriously, saying seriously: "If the Taiwei can accomplish this, he will be my real benefactor. Please accept my benefactor!"

He has inspected the Song army now! It is still very powerful! The cavalry is no worse than the Jurchens, the combat effectiveness of the infantry is even more amazing, and there is also a secret method to break the city wall into a gap. If we can join forces with such a powerful country, destroying Liao is not a piece of cake!

Wu Haogu quickly helped Wanyan Xieye and said seriously: "If you raise the anti-flag one day in the future, a certain family will definitely lead a large army to Liaodong."

"Okay, one word is determined!" Wanyan Xie was also very happy when he heard this. He didn't expect that Wu Haogu's crossing the sea to Liaodong was not to help destroy Liao, but to grab territory...

...

Gao Qiu woke up.

He opened his eyes in a daze, his head was dizzy, and his face was not very good. Because he had a nightmare, he dreamed that he was scolded by the official Zhao Ji and was detained in the Censorate. The people in the Censorate said that he had committed the crime of winning the war!

It's really ridiculous, winning a battle is a crime...

"Come here!" Gao Qiu shouted, wanting his servant to come in and serve him.

"Brother Gao, you are awake!" Wu Haogu came in with a cheerful look on his face, looking happier than being promoted.

"Dalang," Gao Qiu yawned, sat up from the bed, looked at Wu Haogu and asked, "Is there anything good?"

"Yes!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The Khitan people retreated... They retreated last night!"

"Is that true?" Gao Qiu breathed, "Just retreat."

"Yes," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I can feel at ease now... Brother Gao, let's build a few more cities on both sides of Mingtang River to connect them to the Amitabha Cave. It is best to build a city 100 miles apart and build some wooden boats at the same time, so that you can contact the Amitabha Cave through Mingtang River.

In addition, we will send cavalry to sweep the Henan part of Dijinze and Hetao grassland. If possible, we will advance to the south bank of the Yellow River and find a suitable place to build Shuozhou City."

Wu Haogu made a lot of suggestions for building cities and grabbing territory in one row. Because he knew that the Khitans who were beaten would not be peaceful for long, and they would come to him again!

After all, the battle in the early morning has not hurt the Khitans! Although hundreds of cavalry defeated them more than 10,000, it looks very shocking. However, the casualties of the Khitans are not large after all, and Yelu Yanxi is likely to want to find the place back.

Therefore, the war is likely to be on fire again here in Hetao! Therefore, I must complete the defense line of Shuozhou City, the grassland on the south bank of the Jinze River, before the Liao army reaches the great arrival.

Only in this way can we be invincible after the arrival of the Khitan army.

As long as the Khitan army has nowhere to start, real peace can be expected.

"Are you really that anxious?" Gao Qiu looked at Wu Haogu's eager look, "We brothers have enough credit, it's time to leave some for others."

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Then call Su Bochong and let him preside over the construction of the city... If these cities are built, he can be transferred to a few officials, and maybe he can even squeeze into the Privy Council."
Chapter completed!
