"boom!"

After a loud bang, Han Shizhong looked back at the collapsed city wall and said, "This is Wu Jie."

Before Han Shizhong's expedition, Li Yan once asked Han Shizhong to choose whether to go to Yanmen Pass or Chenjiagu, that is, to let Han Shizhong choose to believe in Wu Jie or Yue Fei.

As a result, Han Shizhong chose to go to Chenjiagu without hesitation, even if it was a long way to Chenjiagu, even if he had to pass two military cities to go to Chenjiagu.

for what?

Because Han Shizhong knew Wu Jie's ability, because Han Shizhong believed that Wu Jie would be able to clear the obstacles for him to advance, and Yue Fei was just a young boy who had just joined the army.

Han Shizhong quickly turned his head back, the city wall had collapsed, and there was no suspense about the city being breached.

Han Shizhong looked at Brother Yeluma who was lingering in front of him and his more than 1 cavalrymen, and said with a smile, "How would you choose?"

Brother Yelu Ma wandered in the distance with more than 1 cavalry for a while, and suddenly... ran away.

When Han Shizhong saw it, he snorted and said, "Wu Jie has really counted, this is a coward!"

Let's not talk about how Wu Jie and Han Shizhong captured Shuozhou City, but only after Yelu Mage left the battlefield with more than 1 cavalry.

Someone asked Brother Yeluma: "Dutong, where are we going, are we going back to Xijing?"

Another person said: "Why go back to Xijing, we should go to Huanzhou to help defend, they are going to attack Huanzhou City in the next step."

One of the veterans said: "Go to Yuanyangluo to find His Majesty, there should be one or two horses with him, let's join forces and fight this group of Song soldiers!"

"..."

Among the generals of the Liao Army, some advocated returning to Liao Xijing, some advocated going to Huanzhou, and some advocated going to Emperor Tianzuo. Everyone was arguing and there was no fixed idea.

Brother Yeluma said, "Can you listen to me?"

Although some people disobeyed Brother Yelu because of his timidity, he was still the commander-in-chief of their lone army anyway. Therefore, seeing Brother Yelu speak out, the quarrel gradually stopped.

When everyone stopped talking, Brother Yelu Ma said: "I know, you are dissatisfied because I didn't rescue the old man and Shuozhou City. Let me tell you my reasons. If you are still dissatisfied, I will take the blame and abdicate to let the virtuous... The reinforcements of the Song army have arrived. There are 2000 to [-] troops, including [-] horses. Heavy cavalry in heavy armor, just three thousand heavy cavalry is difficult for us to deal with... Also, how many bed crossbows will their reinforcements bring, five hundred, one thousand, or two thousand, plus Wu Jie's original They have five or six hundred bed crossbows, if we meet them face to face, we will probably die one or two thousand people... Besides, those infantry in heavy armor behind their shield soldiers are heavy cloth soldiers, I once heard the old man As mentioned before, the heavy-step cloth has amazing defensive power and amazing lethality. The battle formation may not be under the Modao formation of the Tang Dynasty. If we face them, we may be destroyed..."

Although what Yelu Mage said was reasonable, it still couldn't convince those who wanted to rescue Shuozhou City, especially those cavalrymen in Shuozhou City.

Seeing this, Brother Yeluma said again: "Besides, there are two important reasons why I chose to avoid the war: the first reason is that I don't know what the hell they used to make the walls of Shuozhou City collapse in an instant. , that power... I'm not afraid of your jokes, it makes me shudder..."

After hearing what Brother Yelu said, everyone fell silent. The reason why they were willing to go with Brother Yelu was largely because they were frightened by that scene.

After a pause, Brother Yeluma went on to say: "Okay, let's not talk about that ghost thing for now, just say that if the city wall collapses, the Shuozhou Wall will definitely be broken, and the old man's bravery is only sixty-seven thousand." Man, when the city wall collapsed, not counting the casualties of the veterans, half of them were there. Do you think the remaining three or four thousand soldiers with broken hearts and guts can withstand the tens of thousands of tigers and wolves..."

Everyone was silent.

When the city wall collapsed, the Liao and Song Dynasties were fighting fiercely. That section of the city wall concentrated more than half of the Liao army's strength. After all, it was the place of the decisive battle.

And the city wall collapsed in an instant, and even if the people on that part of the city wall did not die, they would be seriously injured - you know, that part of the city wall was three or four feet high.

Therefore, Yelu Mage counted that more than 3000 Liao troops were killed and injured in that blow, which is really too conservative.

Brother Yeluma continued: "Shuozhou City is hopeless, even if we go to save it, it will be a sacrifice in vain... The second reason is that Wu Jie originally had more than 2 horses, and another 7 to 5 reinforcements came. There are 2 horses, but I counted them just now. Those who attacked the city and those who intercepted us had less than [-] horses. Where did the [-] Song troops, especially the [-] horses go? Won't you ambush us somewhere?"

Hearing Yelu Ma's analysis, everyone felt a chill in their necks, "Yes, where did the [-] Song troops go?"

Soon someone thought that the disappearing [-] Song army must be preparing to deal with them.

After thinking about this, no one will be worried about Yelu Mage not going to rescue Shuozhou City, because this is completely sending him to death.

At this time, someone brought up the previous topic and said, "Dutong, where shall we go next? Xijing, Huanzhou, or Yuanyangluo? We are running out of food, so we need to find a place to replenish it as soon as possible."

Yelu Mage said: "Bring the map."

Someone handed the map to Brother Yelvma.

Brother Yeluma looked at it for a while and said, "Come and see."

When the main generals heard the words, they all poked their heads towards the place where Brother Yeluma pointed.

Brother Yeluma said: "Whether we are going to Xijing, Huanzhou, or Yuanyangluo, we have to pass through Shentou. There is a slope of more than two miles long at the entrance to the east of Shentou. On the side is Lin Shi, which is a good place to set up an ambush, let's boldly assume that the [-] Song soldiers who disappeared did not ambush us under the city of Shuozhou, but ambushed us here, how should we deal with it?"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. If this was the case, it would be enough for them to drink a pot.

Someone couldn't help but said: "You say that the disappearing [-] Song troops are ambushing under Shuozhou City, and then you say that the disappearing [-] Song troops are lying in ambush at Shentou. Where are they ambush?"

Brother Yeluma said: "It's not true, it's not true, unless there is accurate information, no one dares to say where the [-] Song troops are. Of course, you can also bet that they are right under the city of Shuozhou. .”

This is a life bet, who dares to bet easily?
The wise man quickly thought: "Since Brother Yeluma can think of these things, he must have a countermeasure." Therefore, he said: "Dutong, don't be foolish, just tell us where we are going?"

Under the current situation, Brother Yelu really didn't have the mood and time to show off anymore, so after getting the steps, Brother Yelu pointed at an area on the map and said: "Since going east is dangerous, we naturally go west." went……"
