There was great joy in Qicheng. Fu Yanqing, Gao Xingzhou, Hu Cile and other generals chased them for more than ten miles before withdrawing their troops and returning.
At that time, as soon as the Yelv House hostages retreated, the morale of the entire Khitan army collapsed.
Thousands of people from Youpishi Army were the first to leave the battlefield, followed by Zhao Yanshou's Lulong Army.
There were more than 20,000 people and thousands of civilians to the east and north of Qicheng. Hundreds of people were trampled to death due to landslides and ground cracks.
Gao Xingzhou also entangled more than 400 armored cavalry of the Khitan Right Pishi Iron Falcon Army at this critical moment.
These people were even more critical than the 3,000 Zuopi Shifeng Holy Army that Zhe De and others defeated at the Hun River.
You can tell just by listening to the name. Among the Khitan Pishi army, if they are named after birds of prey or beasts of prey, especially those named after birds of prey, such as harriers, falcons, eagles, etc., they are the elite among the elite.
However, although the Zuo Pi Shi Feng Sheng Army also belonged to the Pi Shi Army, they were actually selected from the Fan Han soldiers from Feng Sheng Prefecture, which was later known as Zhuozhou, Hebei, and were not pure Khitan people.
As for the four hundred armored cavalry of the Iron Falcon Army, they were the confidants of the Khitan Yelu family. Killing the remaining thousands of people was not as good as killing these four hundred cavalry.
In the end, Gao Xingzhou captured and killed the 400 Khitan iron falcon armored cavalry with the help of two hundred tiger thorn cavalry at the cost of more than ten wounds on his body and dozens of armored cavalry.
However, the generals did not dare to pursue them too far, because there were only more than 20,000 Khitan troops outside Qicheng, and the remaining 30,000 people were camped more than ten miles away.
In fact, Yelvwuzhi only ran seven or eight miles, and then gradually began to stabilize its position.
The total number of Gao Xingzhou, Fu Yanqing and Hu Cile was less than 4,000, and there were more than 1,000 infantrymen who returned to the German army.
Being able to defeat more than 20,000 Yeluwu hostages today is considered a great success. It is really impossible to defeat the entire 60,000 Khitan army at once.
Therefore, after chasing for about ten miles, the generals withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.
In Qicheng, Gao Xingzhou held up six large bowls of wine and insisted on giving a bowl to each of Fu Yanqing, Hu Cile, Yao Yuanfu, Wang Zhou, Pan Huan, and Xue Huairang.
Because he now knows that it was not Shi Chonggui who sent an army to rescue him, but Fu Yanqing, Hu Cile and others who risked their lives to come to rescue him.
Gao Xingzhou was extremely grateful to Hu Tile in particular.
It can be said that the other four people were provoked and chose to save him. Fu Yanqing and he were close friends of life and death, so they would definitely come to save him.
Only Hu Cile, who didn't have much friendship with him, risked his life to come here. This is a huge kindness!
Huchile also gave Gao Xingzhou a bowl of wine in return. He was about the same age as Gao Xingzhou, so he could call Gao Xingzhou directly.
"Brother Shang Zhi, there is no need to do this. I am here today for the sake of the country. How can I see a loyal minister trapped in a tight siege and not save him?"
When we were in Hexi in the past, not saving Paoze was the most serious crime in the army. If the King of Liang were here, he would definitely send a large army to save him."
This statement is a bit too obvious. He was born in the Huci Ledadan people and was no longer young when he followed Zhang Zhao.
Therefore, although he is skilled in arching and horse-drawing and has a very flexible mind, doing these things is still a bit stiff and lacks mellowness.
But when Gao Xingzhou heard these words, he had a different feeling.
Hu Ci Le's temperament is one that can be known at a glance. According to Gao Xingzhou, Hu Ci Le is just a heartless Chinese Hu man.
If he can say this today, he must also have what he thinks in his heart.
He, Gao Xingzhou and his son, were in Qicheng and led 5,000 Songzhou troops to return to Germany to serve as a shield for the country. However, he was almost killed by Shi Chonggui and Jing Yanguang.
After such an encounter, it was impossible not to feel dissatisfied, but it was hard to say anything, so I made a note of Shi Chonggui in my heart.
Qicheng was full of joy, and the city of Weizhou was like mourning for an heir.
As soon as Yelu Deguang received the report of the defeat of Yelu's house hostage, he kicked over the wresting case in front of him.
Although the Qicheng generals did not dare to pursue them too far, the Khitan people suffered a lot of losses.
Without the four hundred elite armored cavalry, the Iron Falcon Army could almost be said to have lost its combat effectiveness.
The Iron Pigeon Army and the Iron Lin Army also lost hundreds of cavalry, and the remaining cavalry lost several hundred.
The worst situation was that of Zhao Yanshou's Lulong Army. Since most of them were infantry, they were the last to retreat.
Zhao Dejun, Zhao Yanshou and his son did not belong to the Daibei martial arts clan, and they had always had the habit of hugging the Khitan's thighs. They were despised by the generals in the Central Plains, so the generals in Qicheng deliberately pursued them.
Zhao Yanshou's headquarters had more than 5,000 men, but when the remnants of the army were rounded up, only more than 1,000 were left.
I don’t know if the others were captured and killed or ran away. Anyway, they will never come back. I heard that Zhao Yanshou cried to death several times.
Why don't you cry! It can be said that the Khitan people in the Liao Kingdom still have deep tribal imprints at this time.
These thousands of people are Zhao Yanshou's private property, and they are also his capital to maintain the glory in front of Yelv Deguang.
This time, the capital was reduced by two-thirds. Without these thousands of people, he could no longer speak loudly in front of Yelu Deguang and other Khitan people.
After kicking the wrangling case, scolding people, and finding excuses to slap a few of the chamberlains out of anger, Yelu Deguang had to start thinking carefully again.
He led an army of 160,000 to the south, and it took just over a month.
The West Route Army first won a small victory and then suffered a major defeat in Hedong. King Wei led more than 10,000 remnant troops and was about to reach Weizhou.
Ma Dazai of the Eastern Route Army also won a small victory first and then suffered a major defeat. They captured the city of Bozhou, but suffered thousands of losses in Majiakou.
Not only did they use up all the materials for building the pontoon bridge, but Yang Guangyuan was also implicated and his entire army was almost wiped out.
The only hope left for the main force of the Chinese army was not much better. A small Qicheng was defeated after almost two months of fighting, and ended up with its teeth knocked out.
Those were four hundred iron falcon armored cavalry! Yelu Deguang was so distressed that he almost shed tears.
No! It can’t be like this!
The sworn brother of King Zhang clenched his hands tightly. If he didn't react like this, to outsiders, it would mean that he, Yelu Deguang, really couldn't beat his grandson.
Thinking of this, Yelu Deguang roared angrily and summoned the generals. He would personally lead the troops, lead all the main forces, and use 110,000 troops to capture Qicheng with thunderous momentum!
....
Yelv Deguang, who had suffered a big loss, was furious, and Jing Yanguang, who had won the battle, was not having a good time either.
After Fu Yanqing, Hu Cile and others crossed the river, the Later Jin army in Chanzhou was like a suppressed mountain fire.
At the end of December, news of the victory in the Qicheng Battle came. Gao Xingzhou sent dozens of eloquent generals who had returned to the German army, held high the banner of victory, and returned to Chanzhou from the pontoon south.
They also wore Khitan iron falcon armor and boasted about it, and tens of thousands of Jin troops realized that they had really defeated the Khitans.
If I had known you were so stubborn, I would have waited for you in the south! Now you are in trouble.
Originally, Jing Yanguang wanted to suppress it and wait until the matter was no longer so eye-catching, and then he could advise Shi Chonggui to cross the river.
As a result, little did he know that the anger in the army could no longer be suppressed.
This is the fifth generation! The warriors holding the sword handle are arrogant to the sky.
In the Song Dynasty, there is no way that important ministers like Jing Yanguang could frame frontline soldiers to preserve their own status and gain credit.
But now, the soldiers have swords in their hands, can they tolerate this from you?
In the cold winter of December, the soldiers were brought to the bank of the Yellow River to blow the cold wind. They fought but did not fight, retreated but did not retreat. They just ate some grain pancakes every day. How about fun?
Moreover, Hedong soldiers, Li Shouzhen, Huangfu Yu, Gao Xingzhou, Fu Yanqing and other soldiers under their command have all made military exploits and are about to be rewarded. They don't even have hair.
Now when I look at the Khitan people, they are just noobs! Why don't you quickly cross the river and go fight to earn military merit?
Therefore, Gao Xingzhou's generals wore the fine iron armor of the Khitan people and rode the fine horses of the Khitan people in a swaggering way through the market, which immediately detonated the hearts of tens of thousands of Jin soldiers on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Countless soldiers called their friends and walked towards Shi Chonggui's palace.
When the officers saw it, their anus tightened immediately. How could they dare to stop it? Not only did they not stop it, they also actively joined the soldiers and took everyone to petition together.
This is a precursor to a mutiny! If Shi Chonggui dies, you can still establish a new king. Don't lose your head. That's the business.
However, Jing Yanguang's life should not be terminated. At this time, the Grand Master was inspecting the school. Hezhong Jiedushi An Shenqi escorted the grain and grass here. Seeing the crowd of thousands of soldiers, he quickly stopped to ask.
As a veteran figure of Daibei Wuxun, An Shenqi was fair and never withheld any deductions. He was very prestigious among the soldiers, so he actually persuaded the Forbidden Army soldiers who were about to break out.
At this time, Jing Yanguang was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he was guarding the entrance of the palace with hundreds of close soldiers. An Shenqi didn't even look at him, and walked straight into Shi Chonggui's inner palace.
Shi Chonggui in the inner palace got up early in the morning and was drinking and enjoying the music.
When he was living in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, Feng was born in a gorgeous style and was very good at these things. He often raised soft-sounding female musicians to perform songs and dances in the palace. Shi Chonggui had long been accustomed to this kind of enjoyment.
But since he personally conquered Chanzhou, no matter how ridiculous he was, he couldn't bring Feng and the female band with him.
So they could only summon the Zhongqian Fan Military Academy of the Forbidden Army to play the three-stringed huqin, the Qiang flute, beat the festival beats, beat the drums, and even dance and sing songs for entertainment.
However, the Qiang flute played by ordinary soldiers and the huqin played by ordinary soldiers are not as good as those of the palace ladies. Shi Chonggui, who was slightly drunk, took Feng Dao's hand and said.
"The sergeants are vulgar, and the music is hoarse and noisy. This is not music!"
Feng Dao understood the idea and replied: "It is better to transfer the female musicians from the Tokyo Palace to Chanzhou and have them perform music to entertain everyone."
Shi Chonggui had a very complicated inner struggle for a while, but after all, he was not that kind of extremely absurd king. The Jin Kingdom was now in turmoil, and it was not a dynasty that unified the world.
Shi Chonggui shook his head inconspicuously and muttered, "It's too much!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside, and the guards came to report to An Shenqi.
Shi Chonggui still had some respect for An Shenqi, so he immediately asked the music team to retreat and turned to Feng Dao with a wry smile.
"Now that things have come to a head, the emperor can't have fun all the time!"
It seems that this person is not completely ignorant of the outside world, but the matter is more urgent than he thought.
An Shenqi came in and without even saluting, he ran over and grabbed Shi Chonggui's sleeve.
"It's an urgent matter! There may be a big change in the generals. Please depose Jing Yanguang immediately to calm the anger of the generals!"
Seeing that a famous official and general like An Shenqi was so anxious, Shi Chonggui immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and his drunkenness was completely gone.
An Shenqi pulled Shi Chonggui up to the palace wall to take a look. Feng Dao, who was following him, had a cramp in his calf and almost fell down.
Outside the palace, fearing that tens of thousands of soldiers would gather together, the general Murong Yanchao rode his horse forward, pointed his halberd at Jing Yanguang and cursed.
"In the past, I was very good to the Khitan, so how could I be so brave? Now if the Khitan is like this, how can I be exhausted!"
Huangfu Yu, who was returning from Majiakou, rushed forward, grabbed Jing Yanguang's sleeves and cursed.
"The greatness of Khitan is all due to you. We risked our lives and fought bloody battles. How dare you hold back your troops?"
Shi Chonggui immediately knew why An Shenqi was so panicked. If this was delayed for a few more seconds, there might be a mutiny immediately.
At this time, Shi Chonggui's IQ came back immediately, and he quickly asked his attendants to shout along the palace wall.
"Depose Jing Yanguang, break up camp and cross the river tomorrow to fight the Khitan decisively."
The soldiers under the palace suddenly lost their temper after hearing this. They cheered loudly and kept shouting, 'Cross the river! Cross the river!'
