Chapter 115

The sky finally dawned, and although the sun had not risen, everything could be seen clearly. Yuan Hao stood at the top of the city, looking at the Song army around him, and was stunned. This was something he had never encountered before. In just one day and one night, tens of thousands of people forced their way to nearly a hundred miles, surrounding Zhuoluo City.

After a while, Yuan Hao said to Yeliyuqiu beside him: "There is no Song army formation around the city, don't they want to attack the city?"

"Your Majesty, although the Song army did not line up, all the hills around Zhuoluo City were stopped by the Song army, and they could rush down at any time. It seems that in their eyes, Zhuoluo City does not need to attack at all, nor do they believe that we will defend."

Yuan Hao suddenly used force in his hand and grabbed the city wall tightly. This was the first time that the Song army was despised like this, and he couldn't help but get angry. He really wanted to compete with the Song army in this city to see if they could easily conquer it.

Zhuoluo City is not big, with low walls and rammed earth, and there is not even a wall city. As a city, Zhuoluo City is more than a little worse than the abandoned Lanzhou City in the south. The reason why it was built here instead of going to Lanzhou is because it is the Sancha Road intersection from Lingzhou and Hehuang areas in the hinterland of Dangxiang to Hexi. Dangxiang is not an agricultural regime and has no interest in Lanzhou. It is enough to build a small city at this Sancha Road intersection to deal with the situation in Hexi and Hehuang areas at any time.

When I remembered that I led my troops to attack Song, I was very worried when I encountered a city wall and had to use the means of false surrender. Zhuoluo City was no smaller than the Jinming Village he fought a few days ago, but in the eyes of Song Jun opposite, it was not worthy of serious preparation.

Staring at the Song army outside the city, and after a moment of silence, Yuan Hao said: "Since they don't want to attack, why should we defend it! Our Xiang people come and go like the wind, which is the most beneficial for field battles. Why should we be as cowardly as the Song people and can only hide in the city!"

Yeli Yuqi let out a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that Yuan Hao would be dizzy and wanted to defend the city. The Song army dared to defend the city because there was basically no lonely city there, and they could soon wait for reinforcements. What is near Zhuoluo City? The nearest Xishou Military Supervisor Division was also five hundred miles away. When they arrived, the daylily would be cold. Not to mention that the Song army was still staring at Huizhou, and the Xishou Military Supervisor Division did not dare to go out in full swing. As for Hexi, we cannot expect that if we lose here, it would be God's blessing.

Seeing that Yuanhao was still hesitating, Yeliyu said, "Your Majesty, I see that the Song army is still gathering people here along the Karochuan. The longer the time is, the more troops they besieged the city, the more unfavorable it is for us. If we continue to break down, we will suffer the chaos. At this time, the situation of the war is not good for us. It is better to break through early. After arriving in Lingzhou, we will then order the Qi army and take it back!"

Yuan Hao said angrily: "The Song army did not line up outside the city, and what we were waiting for was our troops to mobilize. Once we moved, they would inevitably attack, which was a great worry! If you want to break through, you must have a backing formation to resist the Song army."

Yeli came to Qiqi and said, "Your Majesty even though you lead your troops to break through Lingzhou, I will lead the military commander to cut off the rear! The Song people were not surrounded by tightly. They only left two or three miles to the east pass through the city. They will quickly drive the horses and arrive in a short time."

"Although the eastward journey is quick, it has to go all the way up. I see that the Song army flags over there have already occupied all the hills. We attacked upwards and suffered a great loss. If we travel northward, the road would be much wider and not as difficult as it would be."

Yeli Yuqi shook his head: "Your Majesty, we can think of it, the Song people must have thought of it too. Look at the north of the city, the Song army has endless troops and horses, I don't know how many! When we walk north in the valley, we have to pass through such a large group of people."

Of course, Yuan Hao understood that not only the road in the north of the city had been blocked by the Song army, but also the journey north was to several counties in Hexi. Will he run to Hexi to do it? If it is not good, it will inevitably cause chaos within the Dangxiang. Going eastward means throwing the army that was cut off to the Song army. No matter how arrogant he is, he should comfort Ye Liyuqi, who stayed behind to the rear.

After slapping the city wall, Yuan Hao said decisively: "Okay, then break eastward! Uncle, you send people to protect the city, and you will be the army of the military supervisor to cover my personal army's retreat. I will lead the troops of our headquarters and fight to the eastward to make a way. Follow us closely!"

Yeli met Qi Yingnuo and nodded silently. Although he didn't know how many people had come to the Song army, they must stay in the army that had cut off the rear. Following Yuan Hao's road to escape was a dream. The posture of the Song army was obviously to divide and surround him. Yuan Hao was just going to run out of the way out, or was there an unknown number, and he could only survive without stopping the tail.

Yuanhao's military order was passed down, and his main force of his personal army, who was camping outside Zhuoluo City, began to set up camp and slowly concentrated to the east of the city.

Xu Qian took out two rockets and asked the personal soldiers around him to light up. He relaxed his hands, flew into the air one after another, and exploded with a "snake".

"How can the Song army use these excellent skills in the military formation? It's hateful!" Before Yuan Hao finished speaking, he heard a horn in the north of the city. The low voice smashed the tranquility of the morning. The Song cavalry on a small hill fell like the wind and rushed straight to a team of Yuanhao's personal troops who had just begun to move to the east of the city. As the horn sounded, arrows were occasionally lifted up around him, and the horns were rising one after another. The Song cavalry, which occupied the favorable terrain, began to attack the moving Dangxiang Army.

The cold steel horse crossed the body of the Dangxiang soldier, bringing a bloody flower. The horse continued to rush forward without any stop.

From one hill to another, the Song army did not fight head-on with the Dangxiang army, but whistled past the junction of each of their teams and crushed all the creatures along the way. Now it can be seen clearly why the Song army occupied all the high ground, and the cavalry slowly accelerated on the slow hillside, and rushed to the flat ground with all their strength, and then turned to another nearby hillside. In one round, the troops of several hills rotated.

Once killed, the formation of the Dangxiang Army was completely shattered, and the soldiers gradually began to run around like headless flies.

Ye Li was frightened when he saw it and said to Yuan Hao: "Your Majesty, this is not a solution. If you are chasing the Song army, you will not know when you can concentrate the army to the east of the city. As a general, you will go out of the city and capture a few hills north of the city first!"

Yuan Hao turned his head suddenly and said to the person behind him: "Wuliu, you take the Iron Cavalry of our troops out of the city to occupy the small hill on the left, not the one with three big trees on the mountain! When the waves move, you also take the Iron Cavalry of our troops to occupy the one with no trees next to you!"

When the two promised, they turned around and were about to leave, Yeli Yu said, "The two generals are of great importance. Even if they can't capture the two hills, they must force the Song army on the mountain. Don't let them rush down! Otherwise, the army will not be able to gather!"

Seeing Yuanhao nodding, the two of them agreed and walked away with great strides.

Jia Kui stretched his neck to look at the war not far away and spat: "These thieves are so ineffective that they can't even assemble the team. When will they arrive here? If it's dark and can't fight, I'll wait for another day in vain!"

Yang Wenguang kept looking at it with his telescope and said slowly: "Don't worry, the thieves will send troops to retaliate against several hills and clear the road. Otherwise, they don't have to wait until dark, and the army outside their city will be destroyed after noon." As soon as they finished speaking, they saw a team of cavalry rushing out of Zhuoluo City. The people and horses were both iron armored, and the armored soldiers on their bodies reflected a brilliant brilliance in the sun. "Here, come, Hao Thief is really anxious, send the iron cavalry beside him out of the city to seize the road!"

"Let me see! These Dangxiang Iron Cavalry are so magical that they are useful," Jia Kui said, taking the telescope.

Yang Wenguang handed the telescope to Jia Kui and said with a smile: "You should take a look and see how Xuanwei's army dealt with the iron cavalry. When the Hao thief fled, we will come here again."

Jia Kui took the telescope and looked at it. He felt that it was not satisfying. He turned over and climbed up to his side immediately, raised the telescope, stretched his neck, and watched Yuan Hao's personal cavalry force towards the two hills north of the city.
