At this time, Guo Polu really showed his face in front of the people of Beiliao.
No, this is showing your face in front of the world!
Standing single-handedly in front of the tens of thousands of troops, he picked up the Northern Liao tiger cavalry soldiers with spears and frightened the enemy!
This kind of courage is really as powerful as Zhao Zilong in this generation!
These arrogant Northern Liao people were completely frightened by them.
When the dragon cavalry led by Li Yi roared in from a distance, the entire Northern Liao army collapsed, from top to bottom.
In addition to the tens of thousands of horses and horses that were lost, there were hundreds of thousands of remaining Bei Liao people. There were still 200,000 people under Xuanfu Town not far away. But even so, the Bei Liao people were still Still retreated.
The retreat was strange and unexpected.
As soon as the Beiliao people retreated, so did the dragoons. Both sides knew that now was not the time for a decisive battle.
What's more, both armies are outnumbered and it is useless to continue fighting.
Return to the main formation.
Li Yi personally went to meet Guo Polu, Suo Yi and Ye Qingfeng. The three of them defeated the strong with the weak and fought to the death, which greatly boosted the morale of the entire army.
"Polu, you single-handedly repelled 200,000 Bei Liao people today. This has spread throughout the army. It is estimated that it will spread to the capital soon. By then, your reputation will really spread far and wide."
Li Yi said it unintentionally, but after all, he was excited about Guo Polu's actions today.
As a result, when Guo Polu heard this, he was frightened to death and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the reason why I dare to shout in front of the Northern Liao Army alone is just because of your Majesty's light. If it weren't for your Majesty's elite troops, I Even if I borrow my courage to support you, I would not dare to do so."
Li Yi laughed, raised his hand and said, "Get up, I've scared you, I'm really happy for you from the bottom of my heart."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guo Polu breathed a sigh of relief. It is true that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
Li Yi also commented and praised Suo Yi and Ye Qingfeng one by one, and promised rewards in advance.
The topic changed, "Everyone, don't you think it's a little strange that the Bei Liao people retreated this time? Why did Yelvxiu order the entire army to retreat even though they still have the advantage?"
Suoyi immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, what else could be the reason? He was not scared by our dragoons!"
Li Yi nodded and smiled, without commenting, and looked at Ye Qingfeng again, "Brother-in-law, you are also a veteran in the army and have been on the battlefield for many years. I want to hear your thoughts."
Ye Qingfeng pondered for a moment, "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I also feel that the Bei Liao people's retreat this time is a bit strange. It seems to be intentional."
"Yeah!" Li Yi nodded without commenting and looked at Guo Polu again, "Polu, tell me."
Guo Polu also said in a deep voice: "The general feels that the reason why the Bei Liao people retreated is just to gather our troops and annihilate them."
Li Yi's eyes lit up and he waved his hand: "Polu, continue talking."
Guo Polu nodded and said: "No!"
Then, he walked to the map, pointed at it and said: "Our army is now only more than 20 miles away from Xuanfu Town. It can be said that it is very close. The reason why the Bei Liao people retreated is undoubtedly to give us access to Xuanfu Town." opportunity, they expected that we would attack Xuanfu Town at all costs."
"I feel that the Beiliao people must have prepared countless traps for us on the road ahead."
Li Yi nodded and smiled, "That's right. Yelu Xiu is not a good person. Our army should be very careful."
"Where do you think the Beiliao people will choose as the battlefield?"
Guo Polu shook his head, "I can't tell you. Although the twenty miles of road are flat, there are so many dense forests on the surrounding hillsides that any place can be used as a battlefield."
Li Yi sighed, "The Beiliao people have laid a dragnet in front of us. I guess there may be Beiliao people behind us, and it is very likely that our retreat has been cut off."
"ah!"
"What?"
When all the soldiers heard this, they were all shocked.
The most feared thing in a war is having dumplings made by the enemy. Once the dumplings are made, they will be trapped and trapped to death.
Now, the 10,000 dragon cavalry and 8,030 town cavalry led by Li Yi have been surrounded by the Beiliao people.
But he had no fear. This battle would either annihilate all the Bei Liao people in the north, or they would be completely wiped out and let the Bei Liao people go south to drink from the Yellow River, and the Gale Dynasty would be destroyed.
He has no way out.
Looking around at the generals, "Cao Fengyang's infantry are trying their best to come, but the situation they are facing is very different from ours. It is estimated that the Northern Liao people's scouts can fight now. Tomorrow we will break camp at the fifth watch and go all the way north."
The tone was solemn, "Tomorrow we will fight, there will be no forwards, no rearguards, the whole army will charge!"
After hearing this, Suoyi, Ye Qingfeng and others, who just wanted to be the vanguard, Jie Jie's expressions froze and they were shocked.
Even Guo Polu, who had always been calm, couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Li Yi in surprise. He couldn't believe his ears.
"Your Majesty, what did you just say?" Suo Yi asked with a surprised look on his face.
Ye Qingfeng also shouted: "Your Majesty, brother-in-law, are you kidding me? How can we fight this without a forward and a rear?"
"Is it possible that the whole army will attack from the beginning?"
Guo Polu also nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, there are many soldiers in Northern Liao. Although they have lost several battles in a row, the main force is still there. It is best to let the vanguard troops fight a few battles with the enemy to test out the enemy's strength." It would be more appropriate if the entire army swarmed forward."
"I don't want to do this, but we don't have much time left. Xuanfu Town is in danger and may be attacked by the Northern Liao people at any time. Once Xuanfu Town falls, the Northern Liao people will no longer have any scruples, and all 400,000 Northern Liao people will go south. The pressure we face will increase exponentially."
Li Yi pointed at the map, "We are twenty miles away from Xuanfu Town. Yelvxiu will definitely set up defenses along the road and divide them into several lines of defense. This is our army's opportunity."
"With the help of the unstoppable momentum of the dragon cavalry, they went all the way north, using the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai to overwhelm the Bei Liao people's defense line in the shortest possible time until they broke through the siege and arrived at Xuanfu Town."
"Don't forget that the people of Beiliao are all elite cavalry. Once they discover our intentions, they will surround us from all directions. By then, our army will not even have a chance to retreat."
All the soldiers present also understood what Li Yi meant, which was to fight against the odds.
Everyone knelt down and saluted solemnly, "Long live my emperor!"
The next day.
It's five o'clock.
The whole army of dragoons set off in a mighty manner, heading northward.
Not far away, the Bei Liao scouts were like little ghosts in the forest, appearing and disappearing, and howling from time to time.
But the dragoons always huddled together and marched in formation, and even the three-town cavalry, which had always been arrogant, followed obediently.
The news spread to the camp of the Beiliao people.
All the Beiliao generals were stunned and stunned.
After three or four minutes of silence, Yeluwan broke the silence with a furious cry.
He roared angrily: "Madman, the people in Gale are crazy, aren't they afraid of death!"
Yelu Xiu was silent for a moment, and his tone was extremely solemn, "The Gale people are not crazy. The general of this Gale army is definitely a genius. He is going to use the vigor of the dragoons to tear apart our defense line like a hurricane."
"This kind of person is a madman and a genius. I really want to see him. What kind of person is he who can come up with such a tactic?"
Yeluwan shouted: "Second brother, just wait, I will catch him for you right now."
"return!"
Yelvxiu shouted angrily, "Why are you so anxious? I am thinking that in the past few battles, the general of the opposite Gale army was definitely not a lunatic, and he used his troops very carefully, but why did he suddenly change his tactics today?"
"I am puzzled?"
"I have a headache!"
Ye Luwan was already impatient and stood there, "Second brother, I really can't stand it anymore. Just let me lead someone to charge once, just once."
"Why!"
Yelu Xiu glanced at him with helplessness on his face.
Really not wanting to look at him anymore, he immediately waved the flag and asked him to lead his troops to stop him.
After giving the order, Yeluwan looked overjoyed and ran out holding the order arrow.
As soon as the Beiliao camp opened, more than two thousand armored cavalry roared out like a sharp sword.
These two thousand or so armored cavalry are Yeluwan's personal guards, and are stronger than the tiger cavalry and eagle cavalry.
Even when faced with the most elite Tielin Army of Northern Liao, they still refused to give in.
now.
The dragoons moved forward slowly, conserving strength and conserving horse power. Suddenly, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and the sound of hoofbeats thundered.
"Report!"
"The elite cavalry of the Northern Liao people were found in front, numbering about two thousand, and they have already taken advantage of the front to attack."
Li Yi immediately ordered, "Suoyi, stop the other party and don't allow any cavalry to sneak in."
"promise!"
Suoyi took the order and left.
"Fengyang, I have put all my bets on you, I just hope you can arrive as soon as possible!"
at the same time.
Cao Fengyang and his 100,000 infantry troops were walking hard on the official road heading north. Their speed was a bit slower than before.
Just because a large number of Northern Liao scouts appeared around them.
They had to drive and move forward.
The speed can be imagined.
