Dingzhou Anxi, after nearly half a month of continuous tug-of-war, Liao Dingzhou Jiedu Yelu'an finally retreated, leaving a small group of troops in the rear and fleeing north with the remaining 3,000 Liao troops.
For the Longqi Army in the confrontation, the Liao Army's withdrawal was a bit sudden and surprising, but it was not without any signs.
The Liao army that stayed behind was also very straightforward. They knew that they were abandoned, and their fighting spirit was low. They did not have the consciousness to fight desperately. After resisting for a while, they surrendered on their own initiative. They were able to enter Anxi City without suffering too many casualties. However, After some involvement, the Liao army retreating from Dingzhou was finally bought a certain amount of time.
"Keep an eye on all the prisoners and conduct an inventory of the city to prevent the Xiaoyu bandits from causing trouble!" Carrying a knife and entering the city, Li Jun shouted at the top of his lungs.
The war in Dingzhou basically revolved around Anxi City. In the early stage, Li Jun led more than a thousand troops to go north. However, the troops were insufficient and their capabilities were insufficient. So Liu Chengyou ordered Luo Yanyu to lead the Fifth Army of Longqi Right Wing to go north. After assisting in the battle, the strength was just balanced. In half a month, their "Western Route Army" also injured more than 600 soldiers.
"After so many brothers died, I finally defeated this ruined city!" Stepping onto the Anxi city with a victor's attitude, Li Jun spat, cursed, and turned to ask the soldiers: "Commander Luo, please Woolen cloth?"
"The prisoners are being interrogated."
"Go and have a look!" After hearing this, Li Jun turned around and headed towards the city, giving instructions at the same time: "Find some people and clean up the city."
"yes!"
In the government hall with an unobstructed view, the surrendered Liao army commander was asked to leave with his head lowered, while Luo Yanxuan was immersed in thought, seemingly gaining something.
"How is it? What's the result?" Li Jun entered and asked.
"The ones who surrendered were all mixed soldiers from the Bohai Sea. They were just used by Na Yelu'an as a rear guard. They don't know the specific situation." Luo Yanxuan replied.
Li Jun frowned like Luo Yanxuan, and thought for a moment: "The Liao army retreated so simply. There must be a big change in the north, and there must be a new breakthrough on Zhao Yanshou's side?"
He was guessing, with some hesitation in his tone.
"It's very possible!" Luo Yanxuan said: "It's a pity that there is no news from Commander Han."
There is not enough information to make an accurate judgment. Luo Yanxuan is young, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Li Jun: "General Li, although Anxi has been captured, the Liao army has withdrawn. What should we do next?"
There was a hint in Luo Yanxuan's words. Hearing this, Li Jun raised his eyebrows, clenched his fist and said forcefully: "Chasing! After such a hard battle for so long, the Liao army wants to withdraw. How can it be so easy!"
"Send someone to report the situation here!"
"Okay!" Luo Yanxu probably had this intention in mind, and he agreed without hesitation.
Having made a decision, they did not delay and left a battalion of soldiers to take care of the wounded, guard the prisoners, and guard the city. The two led their soldiers and pursued them northward, advancing at a light gallop.
The Liao army fled very quickly, but they pursued it even more urgently. They chased for nearly a hundred miles and caught up with them in Kangcun, Baicheng, which was surrounded by water. According to the normal marching speed, no matter how hard they tried to catch up, they couldn't catch up. Yes, but the Liao army in Dingzhou was forced to retreat by Han Tong's cavalry led by You Yi.
With interceptions in front, pursuers behind, and a ruthless river flowing eastward, the Liao army in Dingzhou had no choice but to occupy a high slope north of Kangcun, hoping to fight against the trapped beasts. Unintentionally, they reached a tacit understanding.
After catching up with the Liao army in Dingzhou, Li Jun and Luo Yanxuan were overjoyed. They immediately ordered their soldiers to rest, regain their strength, and prepare for the attack. At the same time, they contacted Han Tong for coordinated operations.
Before launching the attack, another army came from the west, with uneven flags and uneven armor. They looked nondescript and looked like a ragtag group, but the soldiers looked quite capable and had a wolfish temperament.
Just looking at the big flag with the word "Sun" fluttering, I knew the identity of the visitor. Coming from the west, there was only one army named Sun in Dingzhou. Sure enough, the other party sent an envoy to report, and You Yi envoy Sun Fangjian,
After learning that the Liao army was fleeing north, he specially led his troops to help in the battle.
"This Sun Fangjian was watched by An Xi in Boling during the fierce battle. Not a single soldier was seen. The Liao army has withdrawn, but it has become active. Are you here to take advantage?" Li Jun sneered in front of the visitor,
A look of disdain appeared on his face.
"Hey, you can't say that. We are also fighting against the barbarians, so what is the order? We should welcome Sun Jun to lead his troops to help." It was Luo Yanxu who tugged on Li Jun's sleeves and then said to the visitor in a gentle manner.
: "Go back and tell Envoy Sun that we will launch an attack in half an hour!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Jun's face matched the strange aura and was full of bad intentions. The visitor was obviously a little embarrassed. After hearing Luo Yanxuan's words, he said "yes" twice and hurriedly left.
"General Li, after all, he is a friendly army. His Highness intends to appease him and give him some face." In the shade in front of the village, Luo Yanxuan smiled and said to Li Yun.
"How can bandits and young people associate with us?" Li Jun still said disdainfully.
Luo Yanxuan shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. Although his military position was not lower than that of his opponent, he still belonged to a junior generation in front of Li Jun. After getting along with him for a while, he could find that although Li Jun was brave and fierce,
However, being arrogant and perverse is not easy to deal with.
"We must seize the time and resolve the battle before dark!" Li Yun said confidently, waving his hand.
The sun has set in the west, and the sunshine is no longer so bright. The temperature has dropped, and the weather is no longer so difficult, and it is more suitable for fighting.
When the war drums and horns of the attack sounded, they attacked from three sides. Of course, they attacked the higher ground. The cavalry army led by Han Tong was only used as a containment and responsible for killing the fish that slipped through the net. The result was no surprise. The Liao army was completely wiped out, except for a few desperate people.
Except for this, no organized team escaped.
And during this process, the fighting power that Sun Fangjian's army unleashed was truly eye-catching. It was really like desperadoes, extremely fierce, advancing with blood, and invincible. You must know that Sun Fangjian formed a stronghold in the north of Dingzhou to defend himself.
However, we faced several sieges from the Khitans and could not overcome them.
In addition to military discipline and poor equipment, the opponent can be called an elite soldier. After the victory, his banditry was revealed. He cleaned the battlefield as if he was robbing, and wanted everything, and a direct conflict broke out. Especially Li Yun, who even met Li Yun.
His contempt made Sun Fangjian furious. Fortunately, the conflict was still within control, and Sun Fangjian saw that he did not have many troops, so he restrained himself, and eventually they broke up unhappy.
As for Li Jun and Luo Yanxuan, they met with Han Tong and found out that all the Liao troops in the Younan prefectures and counties had retreated to the north. The scope of his army's activities did not dare to go too far north, but he did not dare to go too far north. You can probably guess that Zhao Yanshou must have made a major breakthrough.
A question was also placed in front of the three of them, whether to march north. After discussion, they 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. Han Tong continued to lead the troops to conduct reconnaissance. .
As for Sun Fangjian, he didn't pay much attention to him at all. However, this man was very courageous. He led his men to cross the river to the north, seemingly wanting to see if there were any bargains to be made.
Compared to the west route, the east route's main general, Murong Yanzhao, reacted much faster and more decisively. When the Liao army chose to evacuate, together with He Fujin, he decisively chose to lead the pursuit and did not care at all. Abandoned city.
Of course, the Liao army in Mozhou also acted quickly and did not drag its feet. The two armies fought all the way north along the Hutuo River until the Nanyi River converged. With the support of a Liao army, they could no longer fight. Good thing, we just stopped fighting.
