Han Shizu

Chapter 122 Chain Reaction
Anxi in Dingzhou, after nearly half a month of constant tug-of-war, Yelu'an, the governor of Dingzhou in Liao, finally retreated, leaving a small army in the rear, and fled northward with the remaining [-] Liao troops.

As far as the Longqi army was fighting, the Liao army's withdrawal was a bit sudden and surprising, but it was not without warning signs.

The Liao army who stayed behind was also very straightforward, knowing that they were abandoned sons, their fighting spirit was low, and they did not have the consciousness of desperately fighting. After resisting for a while, they voluntarily surrendered.Without too many casualties, they were able to enter Anxi City, but after some troubles, they finally bought a certain amount of time for the retreating Liao army in Dingzhou.

"Take care of all the captives, and check the city once more, so as to prevent Xiao Xiaoyu from making trouble!" Li Yun entered the city with a knife, and Li Yun screamed.

The battle in Dingzhou basically revolved around Anxi City. In the early stage, Li Yun led more than a thousand soldiers to the north, and the troops were insufficient.So Liu Chengyou ordered Luo Yanyu to lead the Fifth Army in the right wing of Longqi to go north to help in the battle, and the strength was just balanced.After half a month, their "West Route Army" also injured more than [-] soldiers.

"So many brothers have died, and finally this ruined city was broken by someone!" Stepping onto the top of Anxi City as a victor, Li Yun spat, cursed, and turned to ask the soldiers: "Commander Luo?" Woolen cloth?"

"The prisoner is being interrogated."

"Go and have a look!" Hearing this, Li Yun turned around and went to the city, commanding by the way: "Find some people and clean up the city."

"Yes!"

In the unobstructed yamen hall, the Liao army commander who surrendered was invited down with his head bowed, while Luo Yanyu buried his head in his thoughts, seeming to have gained something.

"How, what's the result?" Li Yun asked inside.

"The ones who surrendered were all Bohai miscellaneous soldiers, but they were used by Na Yelu'an as the rear guard, so I don't know the specific situation." Luo Yanhuang replied.

Li Yun frowned like Luo Yanyu, and thought for a while: "The Liao army withdrew so quickly, it must be that there has been a major change in the north, and Zhao Yanshou has made a new breakthrough?"

Guessing, there was some hesitation in his tone.

"Very likely!" Luo Yanyu said, "Unfortunately, there is no news from Commander Han."

There is not enough information to make an accurate judgment.Luo Yanyu was young, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Li Yun: "General Li, although Anxi has won, but the Liao army has withdrawn, what should we do next?"

There was a hint of hint in Luo Yanyu's words. Hearing this, Li Yun raised his eyebrows, clenched his fist, and said forcefully, "Chasing! After fighting so hard for so long, the Liao army wants to withdraw. How can it be so easy!"

"Send someone to report the situation here!"

"Okay!" Luo Yanyu probably had the same intention in mind, and Mianfu agreed without hesitation.

After making a decision, without procrastinating, a battalion of soldiers was left to take care of the wounded, guard the prisoners, and guard the city.The two led the soldiers under their command and pursued northward, galloping forward lightly.

The Liao army fled quickly, but they chased even more urgently, chasing wildly for nearly a hundred miles, and bit them in Kangcun, Baicheng, which is under the shadow of the water.According to the normal marching speed, no matter how hard they rushed, they would not be able to catch up, but the Liao army in Dingzhou was forced down by the cavalry led by Han Tong.

There was interception in the front, chasing soldiers in the back, and a ruthless flow of wet water beside it. The Liao army in Dingzhou had no choice but to occupy a high slope north of Kangcun, wanting to fight a trapped beast.Inadvertently reached a tacit understanding and caught up with the Liao army in Dingzhou. Li Yun and Luo Yanyu were overjoyed, and immediately ordered the soldiers under their command to rest, recover their strength, and prepare for the attack. At the same time, they contacted Han Tong to fight together.

Before launching the attack, another army came from the west. The flags and armor were not in order. They looked nondescript, like a mob, but the soldiers looked quite capable, with a wolfish temperament.

Just looking at the unfurled "Sun" banner, you know the identity of the visitor. They are coming from the west. In Dingzhou, there is only one army with the surname Sun.Sure enough, the other party sent envoys to report, and Sun Fangjian, the envoy of You Yi, learned that the Liao army had fled north, so he specially led the army to help.

"This Sun Fangjian, Anxi was watching in Boling during the fierce battle, but he didn't see a single soldier. The Liao army withdrew, but they were active instead. Are you here to pick up a bargain?" In front of the visitors, Li Yun sneered and said, The contempt was evident on his face.

"Hey, you can't say that. They are also beating barbarians, what order is it, Sun Jun leads the army to help the battle, we should welcome it." It was Luo Yanlu who tugged on Li Yun's sleeve, and then treated the visitor with a gentle attitude. : "You go back and tell Sun Junshi, after half an hour, launch an attack!"

"Yes, yes!" Li Yun's face was matched with yin and yang, full of unkindness, and the visitor was obviously a little embarrassed.Hearing Luo Yanguan's words, he said yes twice, and hurriedly retreated.

"General Li, it's a friendly army after all. His Highness intends to appease him, so let's show him some face." In the shady place in front of the village, Luo Yanyu smiled and said to Li Yun.

"Bandit gangsters, young people, how can they join us?" Li Yun still said disdainfully.

Luo Yanlu shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. Although his military rank was not lower than the opponent's, he was still a junior in front of Li Yun.If you get along with her for a long time, you can find that although this Li Yun is brave and fierce, he is arrogant and perverse, and he is not a good match.

"Hurry up and resolve the battle before it gets dark!" Li Yun waved his hand and said confidently.

The sun has set to the west, the sun is no longer as blazing, the temperature has dropped, the weather is not so difficult, and it is more suitable for combat.

When the drums and horns of the attack sounded, attack from three sides.Of course, when attacking from high altitudes, the horse army led by Han Tong was only used as a containment, responsible for killing the fish that slipped through the net.As a result, there were no surprises. The Liao army was completely wiped out. Except for a small number of desperadoes, no organized team escaped.

And in this process, the combat effectiveness of Sun Fangjian's army was impressive.Really like a desperado, extremely ferocious, rushing forward with a plate of blood, invincible.You know, when Sun Fangjian built a stronghold in the north of Dingzhou to defend himself, he faced several sieges by the Khitans and could not overcome it.

In addition to the military discipline and poor equipment, the opponent can be called an elite soldier.After the victory, the banditry was revealed. Cleaning up the battlefield was like robbing, wanting everything, and directly clashed.Especially Li Yun, who still despised him when he met him, made Sun Fangjian furious.Fortunately, the conflict was still within the controllable range, and Sun Fangjian saw that he didn't have many troops, so he restrained himself, and finally broke up unhappy.

As for Li Yun and Luo Yanguan, after meeting Han Tong, they realized that all the Liao soldiers in the southern states and counties had retreated northward.The scope of his leading activities did not dare to go too far into the north, but he could probably guess that Zhao Yanshou must have made a major breakthrough.

And a question was also placed in front of the three of them, whether to march north.After deliberation, they still decided to play it safe. Li and Luo led the army to escort the prisoners back to Anxi, and reported the situation to Liu Chengyou, while Han Tong continued to lead his troops to detect.

As for Sun Fangjian, he didn't pay much attention to him at all.However, this man was very courageous, and led his subordinates across the river to the north, seemingly wanting to see if there were any bargains to be made.

Compared to the West Road, Murong Yanzhao, the leader of the East Road, reacted much faster and more decisively.When the Liao army chose to withdraw, together with He Fujin, they decisively chose to lead the troops in pursuit, not caring about the abandoned city at all.

Of course, the Liao army in Mozhou also moved quickly, without dragging its feet. The two armies fought all the way north along the Hutuo River until the Nanyi River converged.Under the support of a Liao army, they saw that they could no longer get any benefits, so they stopped fighting.
