A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

Zhao Yanshou never expected this.

While the right flank was besieged and the central army was being mobilized.

Yelü Jieli actually gave him a big urination!

The dignified commander of the Khitan Pishi Army is arguably the most knowledgeable general among the Khitan people at this stage!

They actually ran away with their people!

Is this fucking correct?

This is such a rip-off!

Zhao Yanshou was about to burst into a tirade of curses!

Of course, swearing won't solve the problem now.

Because, once the left wing flees...

Then the Jin army on the left can directly attack his central command tent!

Zhao Yanshou shuddered and shuddered violently.

"Quickly! Quickly! Send the central army back! They can't support the right flank; they must come back to protect my retreat!"

Whoever wants to save the Right Battalion can save them!

My life is the most important thing!

Zhao Yanshou hurriedly mounted his horse and fled north without looking back.

I am destined to be the emperor of the Central Plains. How can I risk my life to save 20,000 Khitans?

Besides, it was Yelü Jieli who ran away first.

If anyone is to be held accountable, blame Yelü Jieli first!

A renowned general, yet he runs faster than Zhao Yanshou!

Is this reasonable?

I don't know.

It was precisely because Yelü Jieli was a renowned general on the battlefield that he was able to run so fast.

What is the most important thing to become a famous general?

Talent? Martial prowess? Intelligence?

neither.

His mother is alive!

Only by living long enough can one experience more battles and gradually grow into a renowned general on the battlefield.

That's exactly what Yelü Jieli did.

From the moment he arrived at the Left Battalion Command Center, he realized that defeat was inevitable!

Since no one had anticipated this, the Jin army, which had been cowering and running away, has now surprisingly taken the initiative to launch a night raid!

Therefore, neither the Khitan's left or right wing, nor even the central army, were prepared.

In addition, the sandstorms were too severe, making it impossible for scouts to warn of enemy movements.

By the time they realized the Jin army had launched an attack, the Jin army was already right in front of them.

One side was fully armed, ready to fight, and with high morale.

One side was caught off guard, exhausted, and in disarray.

We can't win.

In this situation, even if the military genius Han Xin were here, he probably wouldn't be able to turn the tide.

Of course, if it were Han Xin, he wouldn't be completely unprepared.

Yelü Jieli believed he did not possess the talent of Han Xin, and even if he did, he could not overcome such a deadly situation where the typhoon was turning against him.

Therefore, Yelü Jieli made the right decision that almost every famous general would make.

run!

Preserve your strength.

Then, he left two thousand men to cover the rear and led the entire left battalion northwards.

They ran so fast that even the Jin cavalry who were flanking them didn't have time to react.

As a result, Yelü Jieli launched a fierce attack, causing heavy casualties.

As soon as the left flank fled, Zhao Yanshou immediately led the central army to run away as well.

Fu Yanqing was the commander of the left wing of the northern army's cavalry and infantry, and in this battle, he was the commander-in-chief of the cavalry.

He had just received news of the escape of the Khitan left flank and immediately realized where the opportunity lay.

"Ma Jun, listen to my command! Follow me and march straight for the Khitan central command tent!"

Liang Hanzhang, Yao Yuanfu, and other cavalry generals immediately issued orders.

The wind howled, and the banners fluttered wildly.

The Jin army's left flank cavalry, which had been waiting for a long time, launched a fierce attack on Zhao Yanshou's rear under the leadership of Fu Yanqing!

Ma Quanjie and Li Shouzhen, who were stationed behind the scenes, immediately gave orders after receiving the message from Fu Yanqing.

The Jin army, which was pursuing Yelü Jieli, turned left to intercept Zhao Yanshou's central army!

Li Shouzhen even mounted his horse himself and rushed into the sandstorm, eager to seize the credit.

……

Amidst the swirling sandstorm.

The imagery of swords and horses stirring the heart is truly exhilarating.

From the perspective of the Jin army.

On the right, Yelü Jieli retreated in time, losing more than 2,000 lives but saving more than 17,000 men.

The Jin army could not catch up with them and could only let them flee north.

On the left, the Khitans were surrounded in their camp, with warhorses running amok and people scrambling for things, creating chaos.

The infantry led by Wang Rao and Wang Qing had already broken through the gates of the stockade and were charging in.

With nowhere left to retreat, the Khitans were utterly defeated and fled in disarray!

Of the 20,000 people, at least 10,000 were killed or captured!

The rest fled in panic, pursued by the high-spirited Jin army.

In the middle, Zhao Yanshou was actually running quite fast.

But he couldn't withstand the fierce Fu Yanqing chasing after him.

They fought and fled all the way.

In the end, Zhao Yanshou discovered with grief and indignation that...

The 10,000-strong central army had scattered in all directions, leaving only 3,000 men around!

Of the remaining 7,000-plus men, some were caught up and killed by the Jin army, while others got lost in the sandstorm.

In short, it boils down to one word.

chaos!

In this situation, even if you are a renowned general, you can only order your troops to keep running.

It was in the early hours of the morning.

By this point in the battle, the Khitan had already suffered a major defeat.

The Jin army continued their pursuit.

But upon hearing of the great victory, Du Chongwei, who had rushed over, said...

"The Khitan are powerful. It's already a miracle that we managed to win this battle by sheer luck. How could we possibly pursue them?"

Ma Quanjie, who stayed behind, was speechless and could only offer some advice.

"General, the Khitan army is already in complete disarray. We can withdraw the infantry first and let the cavalry continue the pursuit."

Du Chongwei wanted to say more, but Ma Quanjie simply shook his head.

"The cavalry have already gone too far. Even if we call them back, we won't be able to catch up in a short time. Let them go."

Du Chongwei could only nod in acceptance.

Looking at the devastated battlefield, Du Chongwei smiled with satisfaction.

"What a great victory! Quickly, have the soldiers tally the results so I can report our achievements to His Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Chongwei quickly added.

"Not only me, but all the soldiers who participated in this battle, I will report to His Majesty and request commendations together!"

……

It is more than ten miles north of Yangcheng.

Li Rui and his group had just escaped death half a day ago when they heard a large and chaotic sound of horses' hooves coming from the south.

Niu Ben and the others thought the Khitans were coming for them.

After Li Rui explained, they finally understood.

Li Rui not only led them to accomplish something great.

They even used a letter to directly facilitate the Jin army's great victory!

Niu Ben and Zheng Yunguo looked at Li Rui with complicated expressions, the same question popping into their minds.

We all have two shoulders and one head, so how come the difference between people is so huge?!

"Alright, stop looking at me for now, let's all hide for a bit."

Li Rui waved his hand and led the crowd behind him to run to the side.

Although they were facing a routed Khitan army, they only had a mere eighty-odd horsemen, and all of them were wounded.

Continuing to block the way is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

However, Li Rui was itching to make a move.

Niu Ben noticed his unusual behavior and waved his hand with a smile.

"Go with peace of mind. You are the only one among us who still has the strength to pursue the defeated Khitan army."

Li Rui smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Okay, take care."

"I should tell you to take care. The pursuit is good, but please be very careful."

"understood."

Li Rui spurred his horse forward and plunged into the swirling sandstorm!

This is a great opportunity to rack up kills!

They had barely launched their attack when they encountered a hundred defeated Khitan soldiers.

Li Rui's eyes lit up!

He faced over a hundred enemy soldiers all by himself.

Instead of retreating, they cheered with joy.

"You thieves, don't run! You're all surrounded by me!"
