The battle situation on the front battlefield is almost over. Although the Song army does not have an advantage in terms of number of people, it depends on the power of artillery and the charge of rifles and cavalry in the rear, basically destroying the Khitans' living forces...

Seeing that the war was almost over, Zhao Weiji put the remaining troops who had been preparing for a long time into the battlefield, hoping to end the war as soon as possible.

It was just that he was a little worried, that was whether Li Jiguang's troops appeared where they should appear as agreed, which would make the battle perfectly concluded.

At this moment, a small group of people suddenly came from his camp. Zhao Weiji, who thought something was wrong in the camp, immediately met him, but he didn't expect that the person who came was an old friend who had not met for a long time.

"How could Yanzhao appear here? Shouldn't you resist the attack of the Liao army at Yanmen Pass?" Seeing that the visitor was Yang Yanzhao, Zhao Weiji was surprised and felt a little uneasy.

Logically speaking, the war is tight, and Yang Yanzhao should not have appeared in this place. There are only two reasons why he appears here now. The first is that the siege of Yanmen Pass has been lifted, and he is now returning to help, just like Li Jiguang.

Another explanation is that Yanmen Pass has been broken through, and he escaped to inform him. Judging from Yang Yanzhao's current expression and physical condition, the second type of surname is very high.

As expected, Yang Yanzhao confirmed Zhao Weiji's guess as soon as he spoke: "I think Guoxiang has guessed some clues, so I will not circle around Guoxiang anymore. I was defeated at Yanmen Pass and could not resist the attack of the Khitans.

I escaped back this time, just to inform you that the group of Liao troops who passed Yanmen Pass should have arrived at this battlefield."

After hearing what Yang Yanzhao said, Zhao Weiji immediately realized that something was wrong. If Yang Yanzhao said correctly, why did the Liao army, which had already received reinforcements, still have similar numbers and scales of the number and scale of the battles? Judging from the information he obtained, the Liao army on the battlefield now showed no sign of reinforcements.

At this moment, the scout in front came back and reported that the Liao army on the battlefield had begun to retreat, and whether it was necessary to stop it.

"Let them retreat, don't worry. You'll transfer all the troops back now, hurry up."

The scout who didn't know why the coach made this decision to let the tiger go back to the mountain was a little at a loss for a moment. If Wu Wen hadn't patted him on the shoulder and asked him to act quickly, this man might have been stunned for a while.

However, although Wu Wen asked the scout to quickly execute Zhao Weiji's order, he also didn't know what medicine he bought in the gourd. So after sending the scout away, he hurried back and asked Zhao Weiji: "Why did the prince urgently order the soldiers to come back? Now is a great time to wipe out the opponent. Doing this is tantamount to letting the tiger return."

Just when Wu Wen was still asking questions, Zhao Weiji issued another order, which was to make all sports cars turn the cannon heads, then retreat for a mile, and send a team of scouts to the rear of the army.

After giving this order, he began his explanation: "You have heard Yan Zhao say just now that the Liao army that passed Yanmen Pass should reinforce to the battlefield, but have you found any signs of reinforcement on the battlefield?"

After Zhao Weiji said this, the generals realized that the Liao army on the battlefield showed no sign of reinforcements at all.

Zhao Weiji, who saw that the generals had already reacted, continued: "Since the Liao army on the battlefield showed no sign of reinforcement, where are these reinforcements going? I think the other party should have an idea with us, that is, sneak attack."

Just when we were talking about this, the team of scouts sent out had already returned, and their return officially confirmed Zhao Weiji's guess, that is, there was indeed a Khitan army that had gone around the rear of the army and had begun to launch an attack.

At this time, the deployment of the Song army had not yet been fully formed. In desperation, Zhao Weiji could only send all the soldiers who were his escorts, hoping to buy time for the large army.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the soldiers who had been guarding the generals had not fought on the front line for a long time. The two situations combined make the combat effectiveness of these people not very outstanding.

In addition to the natural disadvantage of infantry and cavalry, Zhao Weiji experienced the most tragic moment since the start of the battle, and a large number of soldiers were directly killed under the iron hooves of the Khitan.

However, these soldiers did not sacrifice their lives in vain. In the time they had won, the troops in front completed their return to aid, and the cannons were re-arranged.

"Okay, it's time to fight back." With Zhao Weiji's order, the cannons began to roar again, and the troops in front also completed the encirclement of the Khitans under the cover of the cannons.

Zhao Weiji, who saw that the battle situation here had basically stabilized, finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had not acted well before and had concealed Yelu Mo, he would probably have attracted the main Khitan troops out to complete the annihilation.

If it were not for the easy attraction and annihilation of the main Khitan troops, once they were dragged to the point where this part of the reinforcements had not yet lost their combat effectiveness, the cannons would be doomed if they were attacked on both sides.

"Fortunately, these people are isolated and helpless. If they are attacked on both sides, we will have to die even if there are many cannons." Tie Zheng, who was also relieved, sent him with emotion.

"Wait, do you say you are isolated and helpless?" Zhao Weiji suddenly remembered something when he heard this word.

Tie Zheng, who did not realize there was any problem, repeated: "Yes, it's just that I'm isolated and helpless. I'm right."

At this time, Zhao Weiji, who finally remembered something, immediately pulled Tie Zheng and ordered: "Oh no, I forgot that Yuan Jing's troops had already attacked the enemy camp. His current situation was the same as this Khitan cavalry, and he was isolated and helpless. Although the retreating Khitan soldiers were defeated troops, they could also cause considerable trouble to Yuan Jing's troops. We have to go and save him quickly. Go and gather all the rifle cavalry and set off with me."

At this time, Tie Zheng, who also realized the seriousness of the matter, immediately ran away and gathered the rifle cavalry again. At the same time, Zhao Weiji issued a series of orders to allow other troops to gather to advance to the Khitan barracks.

Then he rode his horse away, gathered with the rifle cavalry that had already begun to march towards the Khitan military camp, and began to rescue Li Jiguang's troops together.

...

At this time, Li Jiguang was miserable. He had previously launched a sneak attack on the Khitan camp according to Zhao Weiji's order, which could be said to have achieved fruitful results. After burning all the Khitan's food and supplies, he also wiped out the left-behind troops.

He was originally thinking that he had won a great victory and was about to withdraw his troops, but he didn't expect that the Khitan troops would actually withdraw, although it seemed that these Khitan cavalry were defeated by the Song army on the battlefield.

However, there are quite a lot of people who withdraw, and there are still many more people than Li Jiguang's troops who only had 5,000 people to attack the camp.

Li Jiguang, who had no idea how the scene happened in front of him, couldn't help but curse: "I'm going, the prince didn't say that to me. He said that he would solve most of the Khitans on the battlefield, and then I would seize my hometown and block the retreat. He didn't tell me that I needed to block the retreat of so many people."

Just because Zhao Weiji told him this, he didn't think too much about anything else. He just thought about how to bless the team's mobile surname, which led to him only bringing 5,000 people from the 30,000 army to search the house.

The Khitan Army soldiers saw that their hometown was confiscated by five thousand Song soldiers. The Khitan Army, who had been beaten on the front battlefield, was suddenly infuriated.

It is said that the sorrow soldiers will win, let alone some sorrow soldiers who have fired. These Khitan soldiers surrounded Li Jiguang's troops without waiting for Yelu Mo to issue any orders.

Seeing that things were not going well, Li Jiguang decisively ordered his subordinates to start breaking through. However, he did not expect that these Khitan's defeated generals were so amazing that they were blocked from breaking through several times.

At this time, Yelu Mo also rushed back to the camp and saw Li Jiguang's troops surrounded by the formation. With the broken camp around him, he immediately realized that Zhao Weiji had taken the same attention as him. No wonder he had never seen this army that had dealt with Li Jiqian in the northwest.

Yelu Mo, who suffered a great loss on the front battlefield, would definitely not let Li Jiguang go at this moment. In order to regain his face, he tried all his best to keep Li Jiguang's troops here.

He completely ignored the troops he sent out to attack and would have the same outcome.

Just as Li Jiguang's troops were gradually decreasing and the casualties were almost reaching one-third, a cavalry suddenly appeared outside the Liao army's encirclement.

This cavalry unit was the rifle cavalry that had been asked by the Khitans before. They rushed over with guns and shot down a large number of Khitans in one round of shooting.

When the other soldiers saw the demon coming again, they became panic. Li Jiguang caught him in a panic and immediately asked the remaining troops to break out in the direction of the reinforcements.

The external cooperation here soon produced a huge effect. The Liao army was torn apart, and Li Jiguang's troops all broke out of the encirclement and joined Zhao Weiji.

"My brother-in-law, you almost cheated me to death, do you know?" Li Jiguang, who had just joined Zhao Weiji, completely ignored the situation where the Khitans were still at the back, and immediately began to complain to Zhao Weiji.

"Okay, can't I be wrong, brother-in-law." Zhao Weiji, who knew that it was his own decision-making mistake, was really shameless to make any refutation, so he had to admit defeat first.

After the two troops joined, they immediately began to retreat without any stay.

After they began to retreat, the Liao army also stabilized its position. Seeing that Zhao Weiji had actually arrived in person, Yelu Mo, regardless of whether there would be more support from the Song army, commanded the entire army to start the pursuit.
