Half of the neck muscles were almost bitten off. Yelu Balid leaned his head and lay in the bright red blood pool. His eyes were chaotic in his wide open eyes. The distorted expression on his face, which had been completely frozen, and his face looked very ugly.

Originally, he had vowed to go south in a large scale, eager to break into the Central Plains and plunder money and goods, and women wanted all the Han people in the Southern Dynasty to be slaves crawling at the feet of the Khitan... But Yelu Balide ended up in such a miserable way of death, and he could no longer kill the Han people, plunder money and waste women when he was in trouble with the Central Plains... and even abused torture, cutting off the liver, gall, hands, and feet of innocent people... and waiting for such beasts to hang around.

When Wei general Gao Congsi led a sprint to the horse, he saw the group of Han soldiers venting their anger at Yelu Bali's whip the body... Even though he was used to the bloody scenes on the battlefield, he couldn't help but frown:

"It's a step late, but unfortunately I couldn't take the life of the enemy's chief general... Look at this, the Han generals and soldiers who defected to the Khitan hated to the point of eating meat and sleeping, which shows how hatred the Khitan Tartars are..."

Confirming that the enemy general along the way was dead, Liao Kuangqi looked around and saw that there were still some Khitan cavalry fighting dyingly... The long and short weapons were intertwined and thorned hard, and the war horses hit one place, and they neighed to the ground. Even if the soldiers who fell down to the ground, they would stand up immediately, and they still entangled in a bloody battle. During this period, people kept slamming down, and blood was splattering... Liao Kuangqi then held up his spear and shouted:

"All the troops will clear away the remnants of the Khitan as soon as possible! If you want to surrender, you will immediately gather to retreat to a place, put down your weapons, and wait for our army to fall!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The Khitan army led by Shi Luyin, Wang Yu, Yelu Balid and Zhao Dejun were successively ambushed by Wei army. All the commanders were killed in battle, and the two groups of soldiers were almost completely destroyed... But there were also the troops led by Yelu Xulisi, Zhao Yanshou, and Yelu Langwu, who passed through the two states of Beiping and Ding, and had already entered the territory under the Wei Dynasty.

After passing Wuji County, Dingzhou, Yelu Xulisi led the army and entered the boundary of Gaocheng (located in the southwest of Hebei Province in the later southwest of Hebei Province, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang City), and also belonged to the territory under the jurisdiction of the former vassal states of the De Army. According to the instructions of the king Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan army, once invaded the rear of the Wei army, would invade and plunder everywhere, causing the Wei Dynasty Heshuo area to upend the entire deployment of the Wei army, and to disrupt the other party's overall deployment and to make the other party lose one's attention and run away.

A large number of Khitan cavalry were like a group of hungry wolves who were about to rush into the sheep pen and rush to rush into villages, towns and counties along the way to plunder the Wei Dynasty's livestock, wealth, and women... However, when the army was excited to kill to the nearby Zhenfang villages, they saw that there was no trace of people everywhere.

Although I had carefully investigated the horses in the long stave and had traces of the villagers who had lived there, the villages and towns that I passed by now were full of life, and the property in the houses had been moved all over, leaving no property for the Khitan Huqi.

It is said that it is not time to harvest crops now, but the farmlands near the villages have been harvested... Even though the Khitan soldiers and horses entered the Wei territory, they have not yet captured a slave or a beast... Even if they pass through several villages, they are difficult to get some money, food and fodder...

The chief general Yelu Xulisi immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart, thinking that Zhenzhou was clearly located behind the Wei army, but such signs were obviously to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. This means that the Wei army had already expected that the Khitan had responded with Beiping as an internal force and sent several armies to attack the rear... The enemy was already prepared and continued to march. Will there be a large Wei army ahead of him already waiting for the battle?

However, after some discussion, he was also from the Khitan clan. According to the official history line, Yelu Deguang was also a military achievement during the attack on the Later Jin Dynasty. He strongly advised that the city behind the Wei Dynasty should be attacked according to the original plan:

"Since the Emperor of Heaven ordered our army to attack the prefectures in Jizhong, how could he retreat easily? Even if the Wei people were prepared, it would at least make the enemy gathered in Jibei have some concerns... Moreover, since the Wei army in Zhenzhou was eager to clearly understand the food and fodder for the suburbs, it might be impossible to do so... Even if we commanded 30,000 troops, we might not be able to break through important towns under the Wei Dynasty such as Zhending. The Wei people were afraid that there would be any mistakes in the rear. When they sent reinforcements, they could also support the Emperor of Heaven to march south!"

Compared with Yelu Balid, Shi Luyin, Yelu Langwu and other Khitan generals who were particularly active invading the people, Yelu Hulisi went on an expedition, although he wanted to capture a large number of slaves and supplies for the Khitans, he was not keen on unreasonable killings... But after hearing Yelu Langwu's words, Yelu Hulisi was considering military purposes and knew that since he had entered the central area of ​​the Wei Dynasty, he could not retreat without any gains... After thinking about it, he still decided to march to the northwest, at least as the Dejun Zhenzhou guards, and he always had to figure it out clearly.

However, Yelu Xulisi was very cautious. During the march, he sent a large number of long-distance cavalrymen, circling and patroling, which was equivalent to laying a warning network with a range of more than ten miles on the periphery of the military. If a large number of Wei troops arrived, he would be alert at the first time.

Moreover, Yelu Xulisi knew that he must not go deep alone. If Zhenzhou and even the surrounding Zhao, Shen and several prefectures were strictly guarded and difficult to break through for a while. When he found that the Wei army had signs of siege, he would choose to withdraw his troops decisively and immediately retreat to the boundary of Dingzhou under the rule of the Beiping State.

Two days later, when the Khitan army arrived in front of Zhending City, Zhenzhou, Yelu Hulisi heard the sound of gongs and drums on the top of the city, and various flags flew over, conveying various military orders. The city walls were crowded with people, and layers of crossbowmen had already stood at the same position.

After all, Zhending City was the capital of Zhao State back then. Li Cunxu dispatched a large army to fight against Zhang Wenli, who killed the monarch and usurped the throne, but he could not capture it for a long time, and even caused Li Cunjin and other important generals to die in the battle... After all, the city walls here were later collectively called the "Three Heroes of the North" with Beijing and Baoding. During the Tang Dynasty, it was also the most prosperous and prosperous city in central Hebei... After the Wei Dynasty ruled Zhenzhou, it was inevitable that the garrison and the city defense would be rectified.

Although there is still a certain distance between them, the Khitan Army can still vaguely see the Wei army on the top of the city lineup arranged neatly, with flags waving in the wind, and rows of weapons flashing cold light... There are numerous defense systems, although the surrounding areas outside the city are full of temporarily abandoned fields, and the towering city walls are rigorously placed, and all kinds of guards have been prepared... Yelu Xulisi saw it, frowned into the boss's lump, and couldn't help but think:

The Wei people indeed expected that our army would enter Zhenzhou, but they were ready to take charge of the city, but they did not know what the situation of the two armies that were attacking the Wei army's logistics and supplies... It is still unclear how many defenders there are in the city, with the 30,000 troops under my command... can they break through the city pass?
