Chapter 699 Expelling Hulu, Another Fall of the Star
The arrow cluster shot towards him instead. Xiao Agu's expression changed immediately and hurriedly dodged. The sharp arrow was shooting into a personal face beside him, and blood immediately splattered, and the Khitan knight in the Nakaya fell down immediately.
Although Xiao Agu only avoided the arrow that Li Sizhao shot back, he widened his eyes and looked over there in horror, with his face as if he had seen a ghost.
After being shot into the head with an arrow, he could actually pull out the cluster of arrows inserted into the head and shoot them back!?
I originally thought that those Shatu people migrated to Central Earth and had the opportunity to lay a foundation in Hedong under the leadership of Li Keyong. The Southern Dynasty was even richer, not as bitter and cold as the outside world... Xiao Agu only thought that even Shatu and Jin people were strong and domineering in the past, after all, their livelihoods were more peaceful and they were used to being pampered. If they really compare themselves with whom they are more fierce and cruel, they would never be able to fight for the Khitan that could have a great success in the dangerous mountains and rivers.
However, Li Sizhao, the king of Jin, was adopted by Li Keyong, who was originally a farmer from a farmer in Taigu, Fenzhou... but it really shocked Xiao Agu. He never thought that the other party was not only good at using troops, but also a ruthless man who was still standing tall when he was shot in the head and had to launch a counterattack immediately!
Li Sizhao's face was covered with blood, and a pair of tricks still stared at Xiao Agu. He urged the horse to order and still led his troops to kill him. This made the crowd of Zhaoyi generals around him follow him, and some of them immediately went forward to stop him, and said in a hurry:
"Jie Shuai! You are hit by an arrow in your head and are seriously injured. I will be transferred to escort the cavalry. I hope you will return to the battlefield to treat you immediately! Let us continue to lead the men to rush!"
"The formation must not be chaotic! I must not retreat! Follow me to continue to cover up and kill!"
Li Sizhao said decisively, he slapped the palm of his teeth, which was about to pull over the reins of the bridle, and pressed the other hand tightly on his forehead with the arrow sore still gushing out of blood:
"If I retreat, the enemy thinks there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, so I have to fight back and resist. In this way, I will continue to waste it... Taking advantage of the enemy's current moment of being angry and courageous, I should act in one go. The war is important, so how can I give up halfway!"
Seeing that Li Sizhao was still fighting to the death, the surrounding teeth were deeply touched and his blood was also ignited. Although he had his own companions tore off his clothes and hurried forward to bandage the arrow wound on Li Sizhao's forehead sores, the lieutenant general was still going to fight hard. At this moment, the Zhaoyi army and his cavalry almost had one thought:
That's all I can do is fight for his mother! Kill the Khitans to the point of being completely scared, and at this point I dare not dare to covet the territory in the south anymore!
The morale of the Jin army's sharp knights was even higher. They were still under the command of Li Sizhao to break the front and break the formation. The long and short weapons of the horses were protruded one after another, but they were still unstoppable. On the other hand, the several groups of cavalry who were broken through the array were in scattered and mournful.
Another layer of corpses were laid on the ground, and the ownerless war horses were running around in a panic... Xiao Agu only rode away, trying to distance himself from the enemy sharp cavalry rushing towards him. When he picked up a bow and took an arrow, he found that the Jin army's personal followers Li Sizhao were surrounded in the middle, and they were extremely careful of the cold arrows shot around him.
The tight bowstring slowly came down again. Xiao Agu stared at him coldly for a moment, and suddenly sighed:
"Forget it, I have to withdraw my troops... This battle was defeated because of me. At first, the attack was too fierce, but it was unable to shake the army where Li Sizhao was in charge. He consumed the strength of all his troops in vain, and was seized by Li Sizhao and took the opportunity to take our army's weakness... If it were about command and dispatch in the front line, I was no match for him. At present, there was no chance to shoot Li Sizhao with one arrow. If it was delayed, it would be difficult to save the defeat..."
Xiao Agu was just a little bit. He immediately ordered his side to follow him and pass the orders, and the cavalrymen of each tribe should gather their troops as soon as possible, and immediately withdraw their troops immediately.
The horse under his crotch had turned around and rushed forward. Xiao Agu still looked back from time to time, but when he looked at the Jin army cavalry formation behind him, he seemed to have a little awe in his eyes.
Li Sizhao, the governor of Zhaoyi Army... In the past, I was traversing the north and rarely met the enemy, but I was convinced by this battle with you. I would come to fight you again if I had the chance in the future, but today, I had to admit defeat...
After chasing and chasing for a while, it was confirmed that the Khitan army had been killed and the morale of the army was disintegrated. When they were defeated in a mess, the soldiers of the cavalry in Zhaoyi Town also cheered loudly one after another. Of course, they also followed General Ya and immediately went to visit the general's injuries. Li Sizhao stopped and the cloth that bandaged the forehead had also turned purple-red... Li Sizhao felt dizzy at this time, and his eyes seemed to gradually lose their focus, and he couldn't help but say in his heart:
The first to take the feathers and slam the flag into the deeper. It is not the matter of a general, but a general is a good person who is a brave man... But the general is a matter of arranging the battle, and he would rather work to get into the battle... It is often unreasonable to use troops. The Khitan is powerful, and I wanted to lead the sharp cavalry to trap the battle, and I would be more sure to defeat the enemy. But I still couldn't help but get an arrow in the head. Are you still a little reckless and reckless...
While thinking, Li Sizhao's intentions gradually blurred. His body shook a few times on the horse's back, and then fell to one side. Fortunately, a urging the horse to run over, the yark was clear and quick, and he supported him. Hearing the screams of his followers around him, Li Sizhao slowly opened his eyes again. Although the voice was very weak, he still ordered:
"I passed our military order, and Zhaoyi soldiers returned to Wuji County to guard the city, and continued to pay attention to the movements of the enemy in the north... and immediately sent a quick horse to report the war situation to the king. If I can't save it anymore... I must remember to keep a secret and not die. You only care about taking the defensive moment and keeping a corner of Wuji, Baoding Prefecture, until another general comes to take over military affairs...
Although the Khitan is powerful, according to my opinion, the king will surely defeat Yelu Abaoji and will issue an order soon, and will order our Zhaoyi army to work together to go north..."
Although Li Sizhao expected that his monarch Li Cunxu would indeed win with less and defeat Yelu Abaoji, he had to lead his army to retreat. However, he seemed to have to hold on to fight until the end of the fierce battle. Even though he was escorted back to Wuji County by Zhaoyi's personal guards, he passed away that day because the rescue was ineffective.
The soldiers of Zhaoyi Town, the Zhaoyi Town, were crying with grief and cried in a lot of grief. After all, Li Sizhao not only strictly governed the army, but also sympathized with the soldiers, but also gained the morale of the army. A highly respected and loved general passed away regretfully. Most of his generals and soldiers were full of condolences, and naturally they could not be calmed down for a long time...
The Zhaoyi Army's generals also followed Li Sizhao's orders and ordered all the soldiers to strictly guard the city defense and sent light cavalry scouts to inspect the enemy situation around them. They immediately sent a quick horse to the Xin'an area of Dingzhou to report to King Li Cunxu that the Khitan general Xiao Agu had only been killed and defeated and returned... and the news that Li Sizhao, the governor of Zhaoyi Army, died in the battle formation because he was shot in the head and could not save his life...
At the same time, according to Li Cunxu's previous deployment, Li Siyuan led the cavalry leaders of the three attacks and other cavalry troops, and detoured, and had also encountered the Khitan army that was killed and retreated northward. He immediately launched a surprise attack with his direct confidants such as An Chonghui, Shi Jingtang, and Li Congke.
Even though the Khitan army is still large at present, its morale is sluggish after experiencing a previous defeat, what is more important is that the leaders of the tribal army that followed Yelu Abaoji had different intentions after the great defeat.
The army under Li Siyuan was dominated by cavalry again, with a surprise attack like a thunderous wind and thunder. The disheartened Khitan army was as if they were running to the ordinary, and they were whipped hard again when they were on their butt, and they were only concerned about continuing to flee north in panic...
At least for now, the Khitan was not good at tactics of siege and defending the city. After all, when they were traversing in the north, the Xi tribe, Shi Wei, Yu Jurchen, and other tribes in the northern part of the tribe would not have built towering and solid city walls like the Central Land Realm.
He was defeated by the Jin army in a row, so Yelu Abaoji certainly did not intend to retreat to the capital under the rule of the Beiping State, but fought a tough battle with Li Cunxu and even his troops under his tent... Therefore, he continued to lead his troops to retreat northward. After a few days of outing, he had withdrawn from the territory under the rule of the Beiping State such as Yizhou, Dingzhou, etc.
Therefore, when Li Cunxu was relieved and rectified, and when he was about to march north, the capital of the Beiping Kingdom where Wang Chuzhi was located would also face a large-scale counterattack from the Jin army...
