Xiao Gan didn't care who got the advantage. He only cared about the Tribulus Mountain, the strategies of the Eastern Expedition, and the fate of the Liao Dynasty...
The main force of the Jin army came, and it was a shocking joy for him. The Jin people were greedy and would not miss this opportunity to plunder, so Wanyan Zongwang must launch an attack. When the Jin people fought with the rebels, the thieves had to retreat the main force to the back, so there would be no enough troops to attack the back mountain. As long as he persisted for four or five days, Yelu Chun would come, and then he took advantage of the plan of the rebels and the Jin army to defeat both sides and launch a counterattack, swallowing wolves in front and driving tigers, destroying the rebels first, and then defeating the Jurchens, killing two birds with one stone.
Xiao Gan expressed his thoughts and once again asked the generals of the subordinates to try their best to boost morale, guard the back mountain and never retreat.
This time, the officials of the Xi Palace and the generals of the army did not firmly oppose it. On the contrary, they were stubborn and began to get intrigue again and had the idea of the rebels. The 100,000 troops of King Yelu Chun of Yan were coming quickly. No one was the rebels or the Jin army, and they would not have thought that if nothing unexpected happened, they could hit the target. In this way, the thorny mountain was defended, the rebels were eliminated, and the Jin dog was defeated. If it was not done well, they could take back several nearby prefectures and counties. At that time, they would have to make contributions and money, and they would have to pay them.
Some people are greedy and have bad thoughts, but some are clear-headed and still persuade them. Yelu Aguzhe is a relatively clear-headed person.
"King, Mount Targlutinous Mountain is just a line of defense, and the gateway to Zhongjing Road is Chengzhou. If Chengzhou is lost, not only can the rebels cause harm to Zhongjing Road, but the Jin army can also take the opportunity to attack. The Liao army must suppress bandits and resist the Jin people on Zhongjing Road. They are attacked on both sides, and the situation is critical."
His meaning is very obvious. No matter how the Jin people and the rebels fight, the Targas Mountain cannot be defended. Not only because the number of troops has dropped sharply, but more importantly, the morale is lost and the morale is dispersed. If there is any slight disturbance, the army will be defeated and the entire army will be more likely to be wiped out. It is better to take advantage of the Jin people and the rebels to retreat to Chengzhou, rectify the army and horses while relying on the dangers of the city to defend the gateway of Zhongjing.
Xiao Gan couldn't listen. His status was different from that of Aguzhe. He could not retreat to Chengzhou until he was over. More importantly, he was responsible for ensuring the Eastern Expedition. Now the emperor and the ministers of the palace tent have begun to waver. If he threw away the Targas and retreated to Chengzhou, the emperor would immediately give up the Eastern Expedition. There is no doubt about this, so he refused to withdraw.
Yelu Aguzhe did not give up and persuaded him again.
The four 12,000 horse troops in the four units of the Xi army, Aoli, South and North, are now seemingly wiped out. The two thousand Liao troops surrounded by Zuoshan must have been wiped out. Now let's calculate how many people there are.
Xi Jun Bird and Chuli's two troops fled back more than 4,000 people. The guards' personal army fled back more than 7,000 people. The Changning Army of Youshan and the troops who went to support were a total of 5,000 people, but only more than 3,000 people escaped back. In addition to the 1,000 people who were originally guarding the back mountain, we had a total of nearly 16,000 people. Even if there were deserters who had crossed mountains and ridges one after another, there would not be more than 17,000 people at most.
"King. Before the attack, we had 41,000 people. Overnight, we lost about 25,000 troops and lost one Jiedushi. Four, two Commander, three Du Yuhou, and more than twenty generals, commander..." Yelu Aguzhe was a little excited and advised him in pain, "King, this is just a rough number. The specific number has not yet come out, and perhaps more casualties and captured people are now. Please think carefully. Where can such an army have morale? Where can there be fighting spirit? Please think twice. Now that we retreat, we can still bring back all our troops, weapons and supplies, but if we are defeated and fled back, we will have nothing. If it is not done well, we can't even defend Chengzhou."
This was so harsh. It was like a long sword stabbing into Xiao Gan's heart, making him feel both painful and angry. He couldn't help but slap the table, shouting angrily, and driving Aguzhe back to Chengzhou. If you want to go back to Chengzhou so much, then you can get out.
The veterinarian who was good at castration in Yuanye's mouth knelt on the ground with no expression on his face and his thin body was trembling slightly, obviously he was extremely afraid. Along the way, corpses were everywhere, broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. When did a veterinarian in the mountain have seen such a terrible scene, of course he was so scared like a sieve.
"What's your name?" Li Hu waved at Fang Jin and signaled him to help the veterinarian up.
"Fang Xiaoer." The veterinarian lowered his head and said two words tremblingly.
Li Hu laughed. There are fewer names in the mountain barbarians, and they are usually only the barks of cats and dogs, but it is rare to call children. Fang Xiaoer is not old, 25 or 26 years old, and her clothes are ragged, probably so cold that she can't stand it anymore. She weaves a thing like a straw raincoat and wraps it around her waist with a straw rope.
Li Hu stared at him for a few glances, and couldn't help but think of the days when he fled with his father in the past. The father and son had no clothes to wear in winter, so they just wrapped themselves in straw mats to avoid the cold. Even in the mountains, this was the same. He looked at the cotton coat on his body, and his nose suddenly became a little sore. It was the first time he had worn a cotton coat for winter when he grew so big.
Li Hu suddenly untied his leather armor, took off his cotton coat, and then pulled the straw straw raincoat on his body in a few seconds, putting the cotton coat on him. Fang Xiaoer was so scared that he didn't dare to move. It was not until Li Hu put the cotton coat on him that he realized what was going on. Fang Xiaoer was so moved that she burst into tears. She grew so big that she was wearing a cotton coat for the first time. She was so warm that she felt warm in her heart. Fang Xiaoer knelt down with a "bang", sobbing and kowtowing.
"Xiao Fang..." Li Hu thought it was too ugly to call him a child, so he changed his name to Xiao Fang, but he was young and it was also awkward to make him Xiao Fang. "I want to come here because I want to ask you something."
Fang Xiaoer wiped her tears and listened carefully. The people in the mountains didn't understand anything and didn't know what to say, but since the Tiger King was so nice to him, of course he knew what to say.
"Look at this mountain." Li Hu pulled him up and pointed to the back mountain in the distance. "Liaogou blocked my path. I can't get there. I want to know if there is any other way to cross this mountain."
"Yes." Fang Xiaoer said hurriedly, "There are several roads, and the younger ones can take the Tiger King over."
Several roads? Li Hu was overjoyed, and I was lucky enough to find a pig. Anyone who found a pig would pick up a treasure.
Chai Yun, Yuanye and others standing around were also surprised when they heard this. There is no way out, and the rebels can escape from the desperate situation.
Li Hu smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit. He reached out and hugged Xiao Fang's shoulder, and patted him hard a few times, "Okay, okay, that's great."
Xiao Fang was flattered and hurriedly explained the situation of several roads. This man was still smart and knew that Li Hu was in a hurry to leave, so he recommended a small road with a better road condition and a closer distance. "It will take about three hours to walk this road." Xiao Fang pointed to the back mountain and said, "Then he arrived at the back of the mountain, which was about two miles away from the mountain. At that time, as long as we ran fast, we should not be discovered by the Khitans." He thought Li Hu was going to bypass the mountain to avoid the Khitans, but Li Hu wanted the Khitans to live.
Li Hu nodded repeatedly, was very excited, and shouted loudly at Chai Yun: "Come Tie Shuai, ask him to take the seventh general and follow this little brother Fang to set off immediately."
Chai Yun turned around and was about to send someone to pass the order. Li Hu stopped him again, "Invite Mao Shuai, Gui Shuai, Tuo Shuai, Huo Shuai, and Bao Shuai, all of them are here. Let's discuss how to get the back mountain."
Soon, Mao Jun, Tie Ying, Zhang Gao'er, Ying Qin, Huo Liuge, and Gao Baolong all arrived. As soon as Chai Yun introduced the situation, everyone was overjoyed and overjoyed. They all came up with ideas on how to eat Xiao Gan and the bones in one hand.
Before leaving the mountain city, everyone thought that the Xi King was difficult to deal with, but Abaddon, the second deputy general of the horse army, sneered. Abaddon was born in the family, Wei nobles and familiar with the affairs of the Vengeance King. He said that among the Vengeance Kings, the Northeast were powerful, and the Northeast often fought against each other, and they were all desperate masters, while the Southeast was not good. They lived with the Khitans and Han people, and lived in peace and prosperity. They had not been on the battlefield for many years. They were all strong outside and landlords, fighting for power in the palace tent.
Li Na is an expert, and when he arrives on the battlefield, he will be a bear and a terrifying landlord. It is no longer possible. Looking at the battles of the Liao and Jin Dynasties, it is obvious at a glance. At that time, everyone didn't believe it. After all, these people fought the rebel army accurately, and everyone was not confident. After a battle tonight, everyone's confidence was revealed. Li Hu was still smart, who first defeated Yelu Ma Ge, and then defeated Xiao Gan. The rebel army was no longer a rabbit that could be slaughtered, but a fierce tiger going down the mountain.
Having confidence does not mean a sure victory. Tieying encircled the rear of the Liao army from a small path, and more than 2,000 people rushed to attack, and it is difficult to ensure that it will not be discovered by the Liao army scouts. When it reaches the rear of the Liao army, the cooperation between front and back attacks is also a problem. Tieying has limited military strength, and if it launches a raid in advance, it is likely that the Liao army will eat it in one bite.
