Since he grew up, Yang Zongbao realized for the first time that women could also show extremely strongness. Wu Zhou's myth is not just an exception...

After coming up with a way to deal with the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army, Zhao Linger decisively took over the entire command and immediately began to find a sniping enemy location on the map.

"This place is not good, this is a plain... This place is not good, there is no ambush space at all... This place is not bad, it is here." Zhao Linger, who was constantly looking for a suitable place on the map, quickly found a place that was most suitable in her mind.

"Uncle, please quickly order the entire army to withdraw immediately and retreat. We will retreat back to Wei County first." Zhao Ling'er didn't care about the Yang father and son who were still confused about the situation, and directly issued an order to retreat.

"Retreat? Even if we lose for a while, there is no need to retreat, right? The morale of withdrawal is likely to decline now." Yang Zongbao was a little unacceptable to Zhao Ling'er's order to retreat. Although the Song army suffered a huge blow in the previous battle, if we retreat now, it would mean that we had already admitted defeat.

Zhao Linger ignored Yang Zongbao's somewhat envious remarks and just replied coldly: "If you can stop the heavy rain now, I can choose to fight the Khitans on the spot."

With just one sentence, Yang Zongbao was choked back. Fortunately, Yang Yanzhao understood more clearly. He knew that if he fought the Khitans on the spot, the Song army would definitely not be able to gain any advantage.

If retreat can effectively realize Zhao Linger's plan, retreating is not a bad idea.

So he decisively ordered the entire army to withdraw the camp. However, just as the army was about to prepare to dismantle the tent, Zhao Ling'er issued a new order, that is, to take only half of the tents and stay the others here, but the efforts to make the tents left here a little tattered, causing the Song army to flee in panic.

"What do you mean? In this way, the Khitans will feel that we have been defeated and then pursue them with all their might?"

Looking at Yang Zongbao's idiot look, Zhao Ling'er was not angry: "Would you like to use your brain? If the Khitans don't chase them, if they want to defeat them, they will have to wait for the rain to stop. They retreat to attract them to chase them."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ling'er suddenly seemed to remember something and suddenly looked at Yang Zongbao with a smirk. This strange smile made Yang Zongbao's back feel a little chilled.

"What do you mean? Don't look at me like this. You look at me like this makes me feel a little scared."

"Zongbao." Zhao Ling'er, who still had a smirk, put a hand on Yang Zongbao's shoulder: "You have lost two sets now, right?"

No one would feel happy when he was mentioned in black history, and Yang Zongbao was no exception, but he knew that Zhao Ling'er was not a person who casually exposed his scars, so at this time, Yang Zongbao, who mentioned black history by Zhao Ling'er, only felt that this princess probably would have to hand over some dirty and tiring work to him.

As expected, before Yang Zongbao could react to Zhao Linger's task, he gave it.

"Zong Bao, you have lost so many times anyway, so you are not afraid of losing again. As the saying goes, there is no itch if you have too many lice, and there is no worry if you have too many debts. Here, I have a great and arduous task to you to complete. Only you can be competent for such a person."

Looking at Zhao Linger's "leader" look, Yang Zongbao felt that this task would definitely not be a good thing, so he quickly interrupted Zhao Linger's flattery: "Stop, stop, stop. If you have any questions, just say it. I know that this task is definitely not a good job, but for the sake of the Song Dynasty, I have tolerated it."

"Good, this is my people of the Song Dynasty. In fact, this is not a heavy task. The task requirement is very simple. That is, after the Khitans discover our camp and start chasing, you will block them on the way to pursue them. But when the blocking is done, you can only lose but not win. Your task is to lead the Khitans to Weixian."

...

Just three days after the Song army evacuated, the Khitans finally chased after them. They saw broken tents that were deliberately left behind and dirt stoves used to make rice in the former camp of the Song army.

This made most of the Khitans feel happy, because after losing one-third of Yan Yun in a row, they finally won a big victory.

However, Xiao Qi, who led the Liao army to fight this time, was a little suspicious. He did not believe that the Song army was defeated like this.

Although he had won a considerable victory before, Xiao Qi knew that the people they defeated were only part of the Song army, and most of them were sent by the Song army to test their strength.

Xiao Qi is a general that Yelu Mo has focused on training in recent years. He is the nephew of Empress Dowager Xiao and has shown amazing military talent since he was a child.

Due to Empress Dowager Xiao, he showed his strength in the army very early. A partial battle against the Bohai people made him show his attention and made Yelu Mo regard him as a general who was focused on training.

The two factors of the key cultivation of the foreign relatives Jia Yilijin were intertwined, making Xiao Qi the commander-in-chief who led the new army to fight against the Song Dynasty this time.

Xiao Qi has the biggest characteristic of leading troops to fight, that is, he is careful. He did not be arrogant because he was the nephew of Empress Dowager Xiao, but instead did things with caution and meticulousness.

It is precisely because of his surname that he is a little unbelievable about the current destruction of the Song army camp. He always feels that the Song army should have deliberately created such an illusion, which makes the Liao army fool and then pursue it desperately.

However, just when Xiao Qi wanted to raise the doubts he saw, his deputy general, Yelu Hugu, the veteran general of the Liao Kingdom, issued an order to continue pursuing him.

"The Song people must have retreated westward. Everyone should rectify them as soon as possible and we will chase westward."

This is the biggest problem that Xiao Qi faced since the beginning of this battle, that is, the veteran Yelu Hugu constrained him everywhere. Originally, Yelu Mo was kind-hearted, but he was afraid that he would not have enough experience, so he photographed him a veteran to protect him.

But unexpectedly, Yelu Hugu was polite to him on the surface, but often put himself in some key places.

Just like before he made a decision, he issued a chasing order without authorization, which puts the face of his coach.

But the key is that I can't get angry at him, because Yelu Hugu is more prestige than him in the army and has richer connections than him. Once he gets up with this person, he basically won't be able to command this army.

So Xiao Qi could only complain a little about Yelu Hugu's unauthorized actions: "General Yelu, how could you issue an order to pursue without authorization?

I think the destruction of the Song Army camp is likely to be deliberately created by them. If they pursue it rashly, they may encounter some accidents."

"Aren't I eager to make contributions? Besides, the rain will not stop for a while. The Song army without cannons will not pose any threat to our new army.

If you chase them now, it is possible to eliminate them before the end of this rainy season. If they wait until the rain stops, do you think we can beat them?"

Yelu Hugu's seemingly defensive words were actually questioning whether Xiao Qi's caution would delay military aircraft. Indeed, Xiao Qi could not guarantee whether the new army on his side could still have a magical calculation once the Song army could use cannons.

But he still felt that if he pursued him rashly, something might happen.

However, before Xiao Qi could think about it, he heard a scout coming to report that a Song army was not far from the west. When he heard this news, Yelu Hugu ignored the new orders that Xiao Qi might have and directly led the army to pursue the Song army.

"Elder General!" Seeing that Yelu Hugu could not be stopped, Xiao Qi could only let him put himself in a waste again. After that, he had no choice but to get on his horse and galloped westward.

...

This Song army was naturally the enemy-tempting force led by Yang Zongbao. Although fraudulent defeat was not a dazzling way to survive, Zhao Ling'er did not treat Yang Zongbao badly.

She handed over all the few cavalry in the entire army to Yang Zongbao, so that he could escape when he was defeated.

When the Khitans were chasing, Yang Zongbao ordered the cavalry to fire a few shots at the speeding light cavalry.

After knocking out some of them, he immediately issued an order to turn the horse's head and start retreating.

The Khitan light cavalry was shot by Yang Zongbao's troops at first, but when they saw that they had only fired a few shots, the Khitans who began to retreat mistakenly thought that the Song army's bullets were probably not enough.

Now they became even more bold. All the Khitan knights began to rush to catch up with Yang Zongbao's troops as soon as possible.

If it were said that the Khitans' military horses were much better than the Song Dynasty's military horses. If it weren't for the heavy cavalry behind them, Yang Zongbao's army would have been caught up by the Khitan light cavalry.

However, in this way, Yang Zongbao's troops were basically driven all the way until they almost entered the pre-set meeting place of Zhao Ling'er, and they did not really escape the pursuit of the Khitans.

Fortunately, he finally arrived at the meeting place set up by Zhao Linger, which was located in Weixian in a not-so-open plain between the two mountains.

When Yang Zongbao arrived here, the rain that had been falling still showed no sign of stopping. Although it was a little smaller, it was still falling sparsely.
