Fifty miles northwest of Liaoyang City, people came and went, flags were waving, and people were coming and going. The soldiers and soldiers were bowing their heads, and the surroundings were filled with blood. A large number of injured soldiers were carrying them to the barracks.

The soldiers' morale was sluggish, and there were wailing everywhere in the camp. The outer tents surrounded by large tents, the central army's tent stood tall, the atmosphere in the marching tent was depressing, and the luxurious carpets on the ground were covered with mud, so there was no time to take care of anything else at this time.

"There is no time to plan for the casualties. The 20th Battalion of the Forwards only gathered the troops of the Third and Fourth Battalions..." The general bowed his head and reported it.

"How many days have you been?"

"It's been five days..."

Wanyan Zongbi didn't say a word, his face looked very ugly.

They rushed to Liaodong to fight and decide quickly with the Jing army crossing the sea. According to intelligence, only a few thousand people of the Jing army landed in Liaodong. They could not fall into a situation of attacking east and west, and they had to break it as soon as possible.

He decisively ordered that 20,000 elite troops be allowed to attack Liaoyang as the vanguard, and the remaining infantry and auxiliary troops should slowly advance.

As a result, the scouts returned the Jingguo people transferred the royal relatives and nobles and a large amount of property in Liaoyang City to the south to Chenzhou on the coast, so the elite vanguards chased south day and night.

Their number is several times that of Jing Jun. As long as they catch up, they will have great confidence to defeat Jing Jun.

That night, the central army had only reached more than 100 miles south of Liaoyang City. In the middle of the night, they heard the sound of thunder everywhere, and the sky in the south was illuminated by orange fire. Many people had never seen such a strange image in their lifetime.

The roar was roaring all night, and the southern sky flashed without stopping all night, and it was like daytime all night. Many soldiers were frightened and trembled, thinking it was some kind of miracle, and they all bowed to the ground and bowed.

At that time, Wanyan Zongbi's heart was also shaken and he was a little inexplicably panicked.

Until dawn, they found a large number of defeated troops in the morning mist and began to flee north. They lost a blood-covered general who was dying and found him and told him that they had been fooled by the people of Jingguo.

The people of Jingguo moored a large number of tall ships along the coast of the city. The ships were far above the ground and countless cannons were arranged above them. They plunged their heads while chasing them, and then they shot from high to low all night.

The villages and towns at the northern entrance of Chenzhou were razed to the ground, with a large number of casualties in the darkness, and the team was disbanded, and then they were chased by Jing's army on the ground.

Wanyan Zongbi's heart trembled, and then he realized that it was no wonder that they had placed the important town of Liaoyang and were not allowed to retreat south.

However, it was too late, and the morning mist quickly dissipated, and the rays of light spread through the darkness of dawn, and then Jing Jun's pursuers arrived.

They were large enough to surround the Jing army, but the Jing army was well-trained and disciplined, and quickly arranged into a "mouth"-shaped formation, and then formed a "pin"-shaped formation, slowly advanced forward, and the light cavalry on both wings protected and followed.

Their muskets are formed again. Their muskets can shoot in all directions. They have no chance to get close to each other when they are head-on. Their elite main force is ambushed and completely dispersed in the night conflict!

After a brief confrontation, the forward was shot and killed hundreds of people by Jing's army in a short time. The soldiers who had long been shadow began to collapse. The forward fled and the supervisor could not stop him from killing.

Wanyan Zongbi immediately understood that he could not fight. According to his experience, if he continued to fight hard, the entire army would collapse and fear would spread! Then he ordered the army to steadily retreat south. The generals of the Jing army who landed were very wise and did not pursue blindly because they lacked cavalry.

Two days ago, the Jing army regained Liaoyang City again with fierce artillery fire. They were forced to retreat fifty miles. Then bad news came from the scouts in the west that the army in the west of Jingguo was less than two hundred miles away from them.

Once the pursuers in the west catch up, they will be attacked from both sides, and they will not be able to deal with the battle on one side. If they are attacked on both sides... they will definitely die!

Upon hearing the news, the military pay was in chaos, and the soldiers began to flee one after another.

Nowadays, the army under his command fled, with countless casualties. Many people were afraid of being beaten by the Jing army. In addition, there were many Khitans, Xi people, and Han people in the army. Not all of them were willing to fight for the Jin Kingdom, and a considerable number of them were captured soldiers.

When he was in a state of decay, even if he risked his escape and was caught and beheaded immediately, he would not continue to fight with Jing Jun.

In the eyes of many people, like monsters, Jing Jun, who had both muskets and cannons, was tantamount to killing him for nothing!

At present, there are less than 10,000 troops that Wanyan Zongbi can gather!

The main army of nearly 100,000 was from Ningyuan to Jinzhou and then to Liaodong. After several battles, people were disintegrated and scattered.

The night when the Jing army was ambushed and shelled, tens of thousands of people fled. Later, they were dispersed outside Liaoyang City, and countless people took the opportunity to escape.

For the army with insufficient morale, it is a nightmare every time it is broken up, and casualties are only a small part of it, and more so soldiers will escape in the chaos.

Given the depressing atmosphere in the tent, many generals wanted to speak but stopped, but they just didn't dare to speak.

Wanyan Zongbi said: "If you have something to say, what's there to be scary now? What's wrong with opening up?"

Another general lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, and whispered: "Master, another soldier fled last night. We caught seventeen, and most of them ran away. I will cut them all over the army."

Wanyan Zongbi nodded and said, "It is necessary to make them afraid, but the next thing is to think about where to go."

His eyes swept across everyone, and everyone he contacted lowered his head.

Wanyan Zongbi instantly understood what his subordinates meant: "Don't you want to continue fighting with Jing Jun?"

No one speaks, so it's a default.

"Actually, I understand that if we continue to fight, we will die, but if we don't fight, we will be treason." He said helplessly.

"Master, they have treated you like this. Just treason!"

"Yes, they just let Wu Linhuang be the commander. If it weren't for that little bastard who had no ability, we would have fallen to this point today!"

"Master..."

“……”

Everyone spoke one after another, talking nonsense. Wanyan Zongbi understood why they were like this. Some were resistance and dissatisfaction with the court, while others were afraid of Jing Jun.

Wanyan Zongbi waved his hand, "You haven't thought about where we can go now. There is a large army of Jingguo to the west, and the south, so it is not reliable to go east to the Goryeo territory.

Those Koreans have always been cowards, and they will turn to the other side. When the country of Jing threatens, our lives will be difficult to protect.

Going to the north is the territory of the Jurchen tribe, and it is difficult to pass many levels..."

At this moment, the guards came in and said, "Master, the eldest princess is leading the army to pick us up!"

"Princess? Which princess?" Wanyan Zongbi was puzzled.

"It's the king of Wei."

Wanyan Zongbi immediately remembered his niece, Princess Wanyan Yingge of Wei, who had fought side by side with them. Later, he heard that she was married to an old man from the Jurchen clan by the emperor. He was still angry for a long time.

"Come in now."

After a while, Wanyan Yingge, who was handsome and dressed in military uniform, entered the tent, followed by two young generals. After more than a year of not seeing each other, there was a lot of charm between her eyebrows and she was much more mature.

"Uncle Emperor!" She saluted excitedly.

Wanyan Zongbi was also filled with emotion and never expected to meet in such a situation.

"No need to be polite, why are you here?"

"I heard about the situation of the emperor and organized some people, although there were not many, I hope I could help."

"How many people have you brought?" At this point, Wanyan Zongbi was not polite and asked directly.

"More than 1,800 people, almost all the troops that can be gathered in the north." Wanyan Yingge also said directly.

"It's far from enough, it seems that I can only withdraw."

Wanyan Yingge was not surprised. She had received a lot of information on the way and understood the current situation of the Jin army. "I happened to be familiar with the road and walked north to guide the army."

Wanyan Zongbi breathed a sigh of relief. With Wanyan Yingge's arrival, the difficulties were solved, and at least the danger of life was temporarily relieved.

.........

At the end of August, Wanyan Zongbi led the remnants of his troops to flee north under the guidance of the eldest princess. Yang Hongzhao and Wei Yubai led their troops to Di and Shen Lin encountered no resistance when they met in Liaoyang.

By early September, the battle report was also delivered to Li Xingzhou's desk. He was very excited. At this point, the strategic goal of fighting against Jin could be said to have been achieved 90% of it!

At first he planned to capture Shangjing and ensure the source of the graphite ore, but he gave up at this time because it was not cost-effective, and he had another hundred ways to make the Jin Kingdom hand over the graphite obediently.

At this point, Datong Prefecture to the west and Shanhaiguan to the east, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Zhongxing Prefecture, Liaoyang Prefecture, Coastal and Zhongxing Prefecture all were under the control of Jingguo.

One-third of the territory of the Jin Kingdom has been captured, and one-third of the richest.

Like the northwest grasslands and snow forests of the Jin Kingdom, even if they were sent to him, they were not interested. They were too far away, too desolate, and the land was barren, so they could not control it.

When people are happy, they feel refreshed when they are nervous for half a year. Their nerves are relaxed, and they are full of vitality. It seems that every pore can breathe.

Li Xingzhou also understood why Boss Cao's first thing he did to enter Wancheng was to ask "There is a prostitute in this city". He was so happy and relaxed. This is how he was.
