As the King of Qi and Prime Minister of Liao, Han Dechang's achievements in military tactics could not catch up with his old opponent Kou Yan, he was definitely not an ordinary person. When he learned that he had been defeated by Luo Yongsheng's plan, the first thing he thought of was to withdraw the troops.

"It can't defeat 40,000. Even if the life army is waiting for labor, it will be infantry and cannot catch up with us. First, order the entire army to evacuate the battle situation, and our army can still fight again after returning to the camp to repair it."

No matter how angry he was, no matter how angry he was, Han Dechang did not intend to fight the Chu and Song coalition forces to the death under such circumstances. He made the most correct decision.

As long as the entire army withdraws back to the camp and repairs it carefully for three or five days, they will be full of energy immediately. Even if it is difficult to conquer Hebei, Han Dechang can lead his troops back to the country.

But Han Dechang never thought that Luo Yongsheng's army also had a cavalry, or a heavy armored cavalry.

Of course, there are also combat units such as heavy armored cavalry in Liao Kingdom, and there are not many, and there are still 10,000 or 20,000 people, but Han Dechang has never been very popular.

The reason is that during the battles of the Song and Liao dynasties, the Liao Kingdom has always been the active attacking party, and there are dangerous cities everywhere in the south, and the heavy cavalry is not very effective.

Secondly, Han Dechang is a traditional Khitan noble or nomadic nobleman.

As traditional nomadic nobles, it does not mean that they admire the invasion tactics of cavalry in the art of war, but that they respect horses more.

Is the heavy cavalry still qualified to be a cavalry?

He gave the war horse a heavy armor of sixty or seventy kilograms, and then carried a rider with a heavy armor of hundreds of kilograms. When he ran, he didn't even reach half of his original speed. That's all the more powerful soldiers, who were just talking about it, were very quick.

Moreover, if you can't run for an hour, you have to stop and rest. If you can't advance 200 miles a day, Han Dechang can't fight such a battle.

The traditional nomadic culture does not support them in fighting this kind of war.

With this speed, what else can you use to fight the autumn wind and what can you use to grab food and people from your neighbors in the south in the shortest time.

This is also the reason why the Jurchens after the Khitan and Mongolia after the Jurchens often did not retain a large number of heavy armored cavalry as combat units. Even Mongolia, which suffered a great loss in the Battle of Ainjalu, did not supervise a large number of heavy armored cavalry after unifying China.

Xu Chang made a northern expedition and the Yuan court fled to Beijing, and the speed was fast.

Perhaps from the moment they entered the Central Plains, these nomadic peoples were always preparing for rapid evacuation, so the light cavalry will always be their roots, a culture that is difficult to understand when implanted in the bone marrow.

The most outrageous thing was probably the late Qing Dynasty when the Eight Banners of Mongolia charged towards the Maxim heavy machine gun position. The sound of horse hooves treading on the ground and the crisp sound of heavy machine gun bullets retreating into the shell became the last masterpiece of the nomadic cavalry on the historical stage.

But now, Han Dechang had to savor the pain of being rushed to the front of Hulagu in advance.

The Liao army, which had been fighting for nearly two hours, was already exhausted. There was no strength to stop Nie Fang, who had the arrows of a series of horses and elite cavalry mixed with three thousand veterans of the Wei Lu Army. His entire flank was directly drilled through, leaving behind a piece of terrifying and chilling ground meat.

"Your Highness, we are going to withdraw."

The personal soldiers led Han Dechang and ran away. Although the latter looked shocked, he had not lost his limit yet. He did not forget to issue orders while the personal soldiers were escorted.

"The rear of the palace of ten thousand troops and use war horses as a meat wall will inevitably stop this thunder cavalry. The order is that the front army will not be shaken, and the front will be blocked by the Song army, the central army will retreat slowly, and the left and right wings will protect the central army and retreat, and you can fight and retreat while fighting, and all the supplies, logistics and other items will be abandoned, and you should not be greedy."

At this point, the great defeat was a foregone conclusion. Han Dechang did not choose to fight to the death to serve the country. It was not that he was afraid of death, but that Han Dechang knew very well that once he died, these 100,000 Khitan athletes would stay in Hebei forever, and their souls would be cut off from the Central Plains.

He brought out these 100,000 people and had to do his best to bring them back again!

Even if he only took half of it back, Han Dechang could die much more steadily when he returned to his country.

Therefore, Han Dechang could not die here just by rushing to this point, he had to withdraw alive.

Nie Fang led the army to attack, while Luo Chengying took the breaking formation cavalry to serve as the attack arrow task.

The commander of the original Breaking Formation Cavalry was Luo Chengwu. Later, Cheng Wu went to Fujian and handed over the errand to him.

The young man was very successful and worthy of his identity as Luo Yongsheng's adopted son. He would personally take on arrows and stones whenever he fought and be in front of him.

Seeing Han Dechang's big flag retreating north, Luo Chengying urged the horse to be even more anxious. The eyes only exposed under the armor seemed to be burning, extremely fierce and scorching.

The sword pointed to the big flag. Although Luo Chengying couldn't shout because he was holding the armor, the five hundred cavalry behind him had a spiritual connection and followed closely behind.

The Liao army rushed up like a tide. Although they knew they could not stop it, they were all brave and fearless, and used their flesh and blood to block the cone-angle steel knife of the formation cavalry.

Especially Han Dechang's personal guard camp, he sacrificed his life and was under the horse's hooves. He would rather be trampled to death than cut the horse's hooves or hold the war horses, which would drag down his charge.

The problem with the serial horse has emerged.

Once two or three horses fall to the ground, then all ten horses cannot move.

Under such suicide-style obstruction by the Liao army, the five hundred broken formation cavalry were trapped in the mud of flesh and blood, and it was difficult to move forward.

Waiting for Luo Chengying and his men to unbutton the iron ring, Han Dechang's big crow had already gone away, and there was only a glimpse of it.

Beside him, Nie Fang ran past and left a sentence.

"The third young master is here to wait, and I will go and hunt down."

After saying that, Nie Fang had already taken three thousand cavalry to chase northwards.

Whatever I say today, I will keep Han Dechang behind!

The Liao army was brave and the Chu army was no less powerful.

The three thousand cavalry led by Nie Fang were also veterans of the Weilu Army, and they were elites for the rest of their lives. Whether in their fighting will or combat quality, they were no worse than any army on the battlefield at this moment. Although the momentum of advancing was not as thunder-striking as the formation cavalry, it was incomparable, but the Liao army, which had been tired and exhausted, could not stand the opponent.

This pursuit took a full three hours.

From noon to the sunset, to the crescent moon, the moon rises and sunset.

Finally, he chased him back before the night was completely at night, but Nie Fang looked dejected and held a bloody head in his hand.

"Why are General Nie not happy about his return in triumphant?"

Luo Yongsheng greeted him in person, and was puzzled.

In theory, Han Dechang's head was cut off, and Nie Fang made the first contribution to the Battle of Mozhou, so why did he look like this?

"King."

Nie Fang knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and bowed his head: "I was stupid, but Han Dechang was deceived by disguised tricks. This head belongs to his son."

At the last moment, Han Dechang played a trick of ridding his son Li Daitao, or in tears, allowing his son Li Daitao to escape.

Because Nie Fang is a veteran of Weilu, he has had many encounters with Han Dechang and knows that Han Dechang looks, Han Dechang was disguised as he disguised as a guard twice, and he had no choice but to change armor with his son at the last moment.

The father and son have a blood relationship, and they look 80% similar, so it is no wonder that Nie Fang did not see through it.

No one expected that at this time, Han Dechang would use his son as a scapegoat.

"The General of the Imperial Army issued a military order before the expedition. The General of the Imperial Army, like Han Dechang's head, will definitely bring it back. Now the Imperial Army has not completed the task, so I will go and die."

Nie Fang was a ruthless man. He stood up and was about to leave to die. Luo Yongsheng held his shoulders down.

"General Nie, you made it verbally, and you don't recognize it. Besides, just Han Dechang is not as important as your life. Well, let's go back to the camp and cultivate with peace of mind. We have to continue chasing the enemy early tomorrow morning."

"King..."

"Go, I will remember today's merits."

After driving away Nie Fang, Luo Yongsheng turned around and frowned.

Han Dechang was not dead, so he could not achieve the full success of this battle.

Although the Liao army had collapsed completely, the Chu and Song coalition forces were chasing each other with great results, but it was difficult to completely wipe out the enemy in the end.

I underestimated these barbarians.

Just as he was worried, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. Luo Yongsheng turned his head to look, but he was Kou Yan in military uniform.

The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

Finally, the four hands were held together.
Chapter completed!
