C1770 The Reinforcements Are Here
At this moment, several high-ranking generals of the Liao Army had gathered together. They had just split up and led their respective teams. They were charging towards the Western Xia Army. However, when the army and the Song Army joined the battle, ... They felt immense pressure... At this moment... They gathered once again to discuss what to do.
"These damn Song Army, we should have killed them all before this!" General of Liao Army said. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Song Army's repeated actions.
Previously, Liao Army had also killed a batch of Song Army, but because they wanted to use Song Army as a human shield... They wanted to break the defensive line of Western Xia Army, so they didn't kill all of them. Later on, it seemed that the effect of Song army charging into the formation was pretty good. At least, some of the Formation of Western Xia Army had been dispersed. Furthermore... With these human shields, the Liao Army was charging forward. It was true that a lot of people had died in the process.
However, under the instigation of the Western Xia Army, Song Jun changed the direction of the spearhead once again. Attacking them made the Liao Army clench their teeth in hatred. Since the start of the war between the three countries, Song Jun's position had been wavering. At one point, he would lean towards Liao Army, and at the next moment, he would lean towards Western Xia Army. At this moment, the generals of Liao Army wished they could kill Song Jun.
"It's useless to talk about this now." Another General of Liao Army said, "I never thought that the strength of Western Xia Army would be stronger than what we imagined. He also didn't expect that the major powers would also participate in the war. Initially, I thought that after we eliminate West Xia... I never thought that they would take the initiative to attack us. "
Previously, these generals had thought that after they destroyed West Xia, they would go and destroy Great Li. It was a country that was even weaker than West Xia. Originally, these Liao Army didn't put them in their eyes, and they were able to eliminate them easily.
However, they didn't expect that Great Li would come and cause trouble at this critical juncture. Moreover, it had brought them quite a lot of trouble.
"I think we should break out of the encirclement first." One of the General of Liao Army said, "Now that the three of them have joined forces, they are very powerful and their morale is high. We might not be able to win, and even if we win... In the end, it will only be a miserable victory. The price we will have to pay will not be small. It is not worth it. If we leave the army in our hands here... Even if we win in the end, we will definitely not have a good ending after returning to the country. "
The other few General of Liao Army nodded with solemn expressions. They had already lost a hundred thousand soldiers. If they lost a large number of troops this time, even if they won in the end... The result would not be good. They would lose their official positions. They would be the lightest.
Therefore, what they wanted was not only victory, but also... They also wanted a beautiful victory, and the one who sacrificed the least would obtain the greatest victory. That was also why they did not kill the Song Army earlier. Instead, they were used as human shields. They did not wish for a large number of casualties to appear on their side.
However, they didn't expect that Western Xia Army would let Song Jun go, and Song Jun would turn around and attack them.
The current situation was not good. Previously, they had the advantage. Now that they were facing three sides at the same time, even if they weren't at a disadvantage... At most, they were evenly matched and had no advantage at all. Therefore, even if they won, they would only be able to win miserably in the end. That was definitely not what they wanted to see.
"Alright, then let's break out of the encirclement!" The situation was urgent, and they could not afford to slowly discuss or discuss it. Thus, everyone quickly came to an agreement.
In fact, even if they decided to break out of the encirclement now, it wouldn't be so easy to break out. After all, they were surrounded by the allied forces of the three countries and there were enemies everywhere. In the end, the Liao Army could only determine a meeting point. Then, they split up and broke out of the encirclement.
Huang Feng immediately noticed the intention of the enemy. After blocking for a while, the Liao Army still managed to break out of the encirclement from a few directions. He couldn't blame these soldiers for being useless. After all, Song Jun's combat strength was weak, and he didn't have any good weapons or equipment. His performance was even worse.
On the other hand, there were quite a number of people coming from the Li Dynasty's side this time. However, there had been no war in Dali for many years. They preferred to study Buddhism and had no interest in war. This time, if it wasn't for Duan Yu and the fact that they understood the Liao Army's intention... And not so many troops.
However, they hadn't fought a war for many years, so their combat strength was naturally not satisfactory.
Because of this, although the Western Xia Army was desperately resisting, the Liao Army still managed to break out of the encirclement.
Regarding this, Huang Feng wasn't angry. He wasn't too surprised by this situation. In fact, if the Liao Army didn't break out of the encirclement and stayed here to fight to the death... Huang Feng didn't even have the confidence to win, even if their side was the allied army of the three empires. Even if they had more people, they still didn't have much confidence. The Song army and the Li army could be used to scare people, but if they were really used to fight... They might collapse very soon.
"Liu!"
Just as Huang Feng was thinking about which direction to continue chasing, he heard Duan Yu's voice.
"Third brother!" Huang Feng saw Duan Yu rushing over and happily replied.
"Liu, long time no see." Duan Yu said happily, "Last time when we parted in Bianliang, I looked for Liu for a long time. I couldn't find him, so I had to go back first. But... He didn't expect that the news of Song Liao Allied Army attacking West Xia would spread. I understood that the situation was urgent, so I brought some men with me. "
"Third brother, your men came at the right time." Huang Feng said with a smile, "Otherwise, Second Brother would have fled in a sorry state."
"It's a pity that I couldn't keep those Liao Army here." Duan Yu said. Although he didn't like war, he also didn't like to kill people. However, he wasn't a fool. He was now the emperor of the empire. He had to think for the sake of the people of the empire. The cruelty of the Liao Army... He knew that once the Liao Army defeated the Great Song... It was imaginable what would happen if the Western Xia Army defeated the ___.
Therefore, even if they didn't like to fight, they had to fight this war. No one in the Imperial Court objected to his proposal to send troops. Obviously, everyone had also realized the danger. If they didn't send troops now, Liao Army would come knocking on their doors. If they sent out their troops now, they could still have allies. However, when the Liao Army came knocking on their door... Everything would be too late.
Fortunately, they sent out their troops in time. If they were a little late, they had no idea what the consequences would be.
"It's fine. We'll chase after them now and try our best to kill those Liao Army." Huang Feng said.
Huang Feng knew that if he allowed these Liao Army to return safely... At that time, there would be even more people coming. Furthermore, he wouldn't underestimate the Western Xia Army anymore. At that time... There wouldn't be many opportunities for them to make use of them.
Therefore, Huang Feng wanted to eliminate as many of these Western Xia Army as possible. At the same time, he wanted to weaken the opponent's strength, and at the same time, scare them!
"Alright!" Duan Yu didn't reject the offer. After that, he discussed with Huang Feng where he should chase after them.
As for Song Jun, he was still immersed in the joy of defeating the Liao Army. Although it wasn't them who defeated the Liao Army alone this time, however... After all, they had also participated in the battle. Furthermore, they had written a memorial for the Emperor. They could also make appropriate changes, and at that time, their contribution would be the greatest... They were the main force of this war, and the Western Xia Army and the army of the Li Dynasty... That was all.
In this way, although they had lost the war, they had lost some of their troops. Not only would they not be punished, they would also be rewarded. After all, this was the first time Song Jun had defeated Liao Army on the battlefield. It was enough to record history. This was a great honor.
At that time, they would receive even greater favours from the captives of the Liao Army.
Therefore, at this moment, they no longer thought about chasing after the Liao Army. They felt that the credit was enough for them to fight. If they continued to chase after the Liao Army, it would only increase their casualties. The loss outweighed the gain.
Huang Feng didn't force these Song Army. One reason was that the Song Army's combat strength was limited. At that time, it might be a bad thing. Another reason was that between West Xia and the Great Song... After all, they were not true allies, and he did not have the right to order the Song Dynasty army.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty stayed behind to clean up the battlefield and reorganize the troops. The soldiers of the Western Xia Army and the two kingdoms went to chase after the Liao Army.
Liao Army broke out of the encirclement in different directions. Huang Feng divided the army of Western Xia Army and Dali into two parts and chased in two directions. He wanted to ensure that they had an absolute advantage in every direction.
With the eaglet tracking them in the sky, it would not be difficult for Huang Feng and the others to chase after the Liao Army.
At this time, because they had defeated the Liao Army, the morale of the Western Xia Army and Great Li Army was still very high. On the contrary, the morale of the Liao Army had dropped significantly because of the retreat.
Huang Feng and the others chased and killed their way because Huang Feng had only chosen two directions. Therefore, he had an absolute advantage in every direction. Therefore, no matter how strong the Liao Army's combat strength was, they were still no match for them. Along the way, they suffered heavy casualties. From the beginning, they had taken the initiative to retreat. But later on, they had fled in all directions.
As for the Liao Army on the other paths, Huang Feng didn't chase after them. He had let them go on his own accord.
However, the Liao Army wasn't easy to get along with. When the Liao Army realized that there were no pursuers behind them, they stopped.
"The people from Xixia did not chase after us." General of Liao Army said, "They must have chased after the people from other directions. We should do something."
"What do you think we should do?"
"Let's fight back! Let's go back and kill them from behind. They definitely didn't expect us to come back." General of Liao Army said.
