"Your Majesty! Where should our army pursue?" Hurhuo asked behind him.
In the west, the retreating troops led by the generals were of course smaller, but Liu Wenlong, the general of Dawu who was known as the pillar of the country, was here. To the northeast, the famous generals Wei Chiyan and Fang Deng led almost the main force of the military force.
Either one of the two sides can be destroyed, and it will be enough to shake the foundation of Dawu.
Huerzan was rarely furious and scolded: "Nonsense."
"Liu Wenlong is known as the pillar of the great Wu Dingguo. The death of the late emperor more than ten years ago must be attributed to this man."
"Instruct General Long Xijun to pursue Wei Chiyan and Fang Deng backwards. Also! Let the soldiers and horses besieging Youzhou only besiege but not attack, and hold on to the food and grass from Youbin and the two states."
"As for the Hu tribe and the Qiang tribe... inform their leaders that if the water can be released again, the 100,000 Liao soldiers stationed outside the two tribes may do something to exterminate the tribes."
Threats and coercion! Don't underestimate Huerzan, he is ruthless and will kill people without blinking an eye. This is also the reason why Hulzan can unify the grassland.
"promise!"
Huerzan ordered again: "Send the order to Cook! Stay close behind Liu Wenlong and never let him escape."
Although Liu Wenlong broke through Daliao's blockade, more than 10,000 of his own troops died in the battle in an instant.
Huerzan also took advantage of Daliao's own advantages and sent a large number of light cavalry to constantly harass and fight.
in this way! At night, the Daliao army stopped slightly.
The temperature on the grassland!
It is generally hot during the day and very low at night, almost dropping to a few degrees. For the Daliao soldiers, they were accustomed to the grassland environment and could still come and go freely even in extremely low temperatures.
Most of the clothes and materials originally prepared for the expedition to keep out the cold were thrown away after the defeat. The other part of the material still stayed in the pass.
Soldiers living in the north can adapt to the extremely low temperature for a while, and the resistance will be over. However, soldiers who live in Dengzhou, Wanzhou, Jingzhou and other areas in the south are likely to fall ill tomorrow if they do not have something to keep out the cold when faced with such low temperatures.
tread!
"tear!"
Song Yi just returned from patrolling outside and saw the Daliao army. After they did not pursue him, he left a hundred scouts behind before returning.
"Yu!"
Song Yi dismounted and deliberately wrapped the cloak behind his shirt tightly. Immediately! Sit down by Liu Wenlong’s campfire.
"Cough cough cough!"
"Song Yi! How is the situation?" Liu Wenlong couldn't help but cough a few times. When he saw Song Yi returning and sitting down, he couldn't help but ask.
This general who was still high-spirited when he set out, now! His face looked much older and looked listless. The defeat made him feel extremely uncomfortable. In the current situation, without the support of things to keep out the cold and the support of food and grass, there was nothing he could do.
And around him, except for Song Yi's more than 10,000 Dingzhou Army and Dawu's 10,000 Feilong Army, which have extremely high combat effectiveness, the other armies are almost at an ordinary level. It is more likely that after one night, they will not even reach half of their normal combat effectiveness. .
but! Fortunately, Wei Deyan and Fang Deng led the Feihu Army, Wuwei Camp, and Huogun Camp to break through the Donghu and Qiang tribes. As long as they avoided the pursuit of Longxi Jun's army, they could
"Reporting to the general, tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry were camped several miles away and stopped. However! The army behind the Xiongnu may rendezvous with the front army tomorrow morning. By then! Our army will have to withdraw to the west! "Song Yi let out a sigh of relief, obviously! There is nothing that can be done about the current situation.
But there are still worries. Song Yi continued: "To the west is the station where Prince Huerkan of the Liao Dynasty attacked Beiliang. If our army withdraws in the west, I'm afraid! We will be attacked from both sides. By then! Huerkan's 300,000 The army, combined with Huerzan's army, our army will really be wiped out, and the bones will be buried in the grassland."
yes! While retreating, we were really attacked from both sides. Hurkang and Huerzan had two armies of half a million men. It would be easy to defeat his remaining troops and pack them up!
Retreat! No way, we can only go north to the city of Uzzah. Usa City was the transition point between Daliao and Liao, and was a supply station that supported the 300,000 Daliao army. presumably! At this time, the Liao army was all out. Considering the arrogance of Huerzan and his son, there should be very few soldiers left in the city.
If there is no way, we can only attack the nearby Dan City, which can be reached in only four days' journey. If we want to go on an expedition to the city of Uzza, which is four hundred miles away, with the current state of the military and the food they carry, I'm afraid! It was difficult to reach the city of Uzzah.
"Send the order! The three armies raised bonfires and rested for a while! Throw down some tents, and the army set off immediately and rushed to Dan City not far away." Liu Wenlong said resolutely.
The gas bonfire has been used as an illusion to confuse the Xiongnu army. But if the army continues to advance and capture Dan City, there will be a chance.
in addition! After all, there is a difference between the Liao people's city-building technology and that of the Central Plains cities. The city of the Central Plains people is my father! The city of the prairie people is the son. Son and father, can they be compared?
"promise!"
Song Yi, who understood Liu Wenlong's intention, immediately went to deliver the order.
Then! In the military camp, the bonfire was lit and it was bright. At this time, the military force retreated quietly. This cold weather is biting to the bone and can really make people shiver with cold.
In the camp of the Liao army, flourishing tents were set up, as well as bonfires, shelves, and iron pots. Compared to the military army, which has begun to reduce its food supply by half every day, the food of the Liao people is not ordinary. Good.
Lamb legs and beef are all stewed in a pot! The rich aroma of meat and broth permeates the air.
The Daliao Army almost started celebrating. In their opinion, the dazzling fire on the opposite side is nothing more than the fact that the military army is not adapted to the environment of the grassland. In response to the cold, a fire is rising to provide heat and warmth!
As everyone knows! The military troops had already retreated in the biting cold wind and had been running all day! The troops and horses led by Liu Wenlong have nearly lost more than 15,000 people and died in the battle. The remaining 80,000-odd troops will move to Dancheng.
Huerzan, who had gained the advantage, had already spread the news of the defeat of General Liu Wenlong to the Great Wu Kingdom as quickly as possible.
to be honest! Hurzanjia Kuk, the two people's strategy had to be vicious. Attacking the city is the bottom priority and attacking the heart is the top priority. Liu Wenlong is the spiritual pillar of the Dawu Kingdom. If this news can be spread to the Dawu Kingdom.
It will inevitably cause extreme panic in the Great Wu Kingdom. even! Everyone in the imperial court was almost in panic, and even Emperor Xuanwu was feeling restless.
certainly! Although more than 40,000 people in the Wu army were annihilated today, Liu Wenlong is the pillar of the Wu Kingdom and a famous general in the world. It is not easy to defeat him.
Morning of the second day!
Hurzan's main force finally met up with the former cavalry. The two armies felt refreshed and had a good sleep before setting off again.
