After hearing Wanyan Liming's decision, the two people present were stunned and froze on the spot. How could they have imagined that His Majesty, who was so powerful in the grassland, would actually say the word "escape" today.
King Lamour looked puzzled and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, we still have 90,000 troops, so there is no need to retreat!"
But Wanyan Liming said: "Now we are trapped in an encirclement. Moreover, all the food and grass have fallen into Chen Mu's hands. There is no point in continuing the fight. Before the Han army arrives, we quickly return to Shuo.
State."
Of course, the reason why Wanyan Liming wanted to quit was mainly because the Han army came directly to him to fight for his life.
They now control the food and fodder of their own camp, and can completely guard Taiyuan City and wait for him to return obediently, but they rushed over directly. This kind of unrelenting momentum even Wanyan Liming was a little frightened when he saw it.
Even if they win in the end, I am afraid that the 90,000 troops they brought will suffer heavy losses, and they will not be able to raise more troops to invade Longxia.
Otherwise there would be no need to fight this war.
Under the leadership of Wanyan Liming, the 90,000 Tatar army began to set off and retreated directly towards the Jiuliang crossing.
This place is very close to Shuozhou in Yanyun, and can be reached in one day's march.
But just when the army was leaving the crossing, a densely packed Han army suddenly appeared in front of Wanyan Liming.
I saw Zhang Bowen slowly stand up, and then shouted angrily: "Kill me!"
As soon as the attack was over, more than 10,000 Han troops were like a torrent, rushing toward the enemy at the entrance of the valley.
"kill!"
Soon, the two sides fought and fought together, but due to their numerical advantage, ten thousand versus ninety thousand were not even in the same size.
Zhang Bowen just watched everything quietly. He didn't expect these ten thousand people to kill many barbarians, he just used their lives as a human wall.
The war itself is nothing but child's play with human lives. All we need to do is drag the 90,000-strong army here to create opportunities for Chen Mu who is coming.
As for Wanyan Liming, he was a little panicked now. Who would have thought that the Han army, which was still five miles away, would arrive at the crossing so quickly.
Even though the Tatar army currently has the advantage, they are tightly entangled here by these 10,000 people. Once the 50,000 Han troops from behind suddenly arrive, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Don't be too eager to fight, just tear a hole and stick it out!"
But before the Tatar army could break through, there was a loud and earth-shattering cry of killing behind them.
The main force of the Han people is coming to kill!
At this moment, Wanyan Liming's expression darkened. As long as two sides surrounded him, even if he could escape today, the casualties would definitely be heavy.
"For money and women! Kill them all, kill them all!"
Hearing an angry rebuke from Chen Mu, the next moment the Han army came into contact with the Tatar army and completely integrated into the battle situation.
Now that there is silver as a reward, these more than 50,000 Han soldiers are rushing forward almost desperately. Most of the lower-level soldiers are children of farmers. Their salary for one year of joining the army may not even be five taels of silver. For them, killing more now is
These barbarians are undoubtedly the fastest way for them to make a fortune.
In just half a cup of tea, the Tatar army in the rear was killed and retreated steadily. Even though there were more people than the Han army, these 50,000 people were like madmen, rushing forward. No one knew what was going on.
The reason why they are so motivated to fight.
The Han army in the rear continued to retreat forward, constantly compressing the Tatar army, as if they were closing the door and beating the dogs.
Now Wanyan Liming is really panicking. If he continues like this, his 90,000-strong army will be eaten by the 60,000-strong Han army!
"Aren't the Han people behind you afraid of death? Hurry up and retreat!"
After all, the Han army at the pass was insufficient in strength. After tearing a hole, Wanyan Liming hurriedly fled outside with the remaining troops.
"Hurry up and chase after me! If you don't leave ten thousand barbarian corpses today, you damn don't come back to me!"
Under Chen Mu's order, Han Xiner, Huangfu and other generals led all the troops and launched another pursuit.
You can imagine how ridiculous it would be to see more than 50,000 troops chasing more than 80,000 enemy troops, but it is happening now.
At the moment, these sergeants at the bottom are all full of fighting spirit. In their eyes, the fleeing Tatar army is no longer a Tatar army, but a mountain of silver!
We all rely on them to make a fortune, how could we let them run away like this?
The whole road was almost flat, and Wanyan Liming breathed a sigh of relief after he escaped. But when he saw the Han army catching up again, his face became stern!
I just feel that these Han people are so desperate!
King Lamour on the side couldn't help complaining: "These Han people are crazy! Your Majesty, why don't you turn around and fight them!"
Now Wanyan Liming couldn't bear it any longer. Fifty thousand people chased away 80,000 people and beat him. If he really fled back to Shuozhou like this, it would probably become a huge shame in the future!
But after following King Lamour's advice and turning back to fight the Han army again, as expected, thousands more corpses were handed over.
Now the morale of the Tatar army is low. They have been frightened by this group of desperate Han people. What's more, many Han soldiers are carrying the heads of Tatar soldiers on their shoulders. This bloody scene has made the Tatar army even more devastated.
courage.
"We can't fight anymore! Run away!"
Wanyan Mingming roared and quickly told the remaining Tatar troops to retreat.
In this way, they continued to chase from dusk to noon the next day. Both the Tatars and the Shu army were dragging their feet forward tiredly.
The horses on both sides lay tired on the ground and stopped moving, but the sergeants on both sides continued to move forward based on the faith in their hearts.
One is for survival, the other is for money.
The two sides were actually not far apart, only about a hundred meters apart. Chen Mu thought about it and realized that nearly 30,000 Tatar troops had been dispatched that night. Yanmen Pass was a few miles ahead. If there were reinforcements, it would be over.
The remaining barbarians should be completely wiped out when they launch a full-scale attack on Yanyun next time.
"The three armies listen to the order and withdraw!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Mu could clearly hear the sounds of lamentation coming from his own side.
"I've been busy all night! I haven't even caught a single barbarian's head!"
"Damn, this guy Li Si has five of them on his shoulders!"
The Tatar troops not far away suddenly burst into cheers.
"These lunatics... finally stopped chasing us!"
"It's so scary!"
Not only ordinary soldiers, but also Wanyan Liming breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he saw troops with such fierce fighting spirit.
It can be imagined that we chased them all the way from Jiuliang Road to Yanmen Pass. If we look carefully, many Han soldiers were obviously exhausted, and they were still limping with their swords in pursuit. I don’t know what kind of force was supporting them.
He only knew that even if he could sit on top of Yan Yun, it would be difficult to take over Long Xia as long as Chen Mu was around.
Both armies were exhausted. You looked at me and I looked at you. You can see that they were only a hundred meters apart, but they really couldn't move any further.
After sitting on the ground and resting for an hour, they limped back to their respective territories.
