On a distant high platform, Yan Mujin, with a sullen face, supported Yue Lixin, with a pale face, and looked into the distance in disbelief, at the battlefield, at Zhu Li, who was like a ferocious and mad dragon, and was unrestrained.
Yanmujin knew very well how brave Shulü Pogu was. When Yelu Sala was alive, he almost never won against her in battles.
This was also the reason why Yanmujin tried every means to invite him to come out of seclusion as a trump card to deal with Zhu Li. However, such a brave man was hit by a spear by Zhu Li, fell off his horse and was captured. It is conceivable how brave this Zhu Li is. Is he still a human being
"Samuge, we lost." Yue Lixin looked ahead with unfocused eyes and spoke in a bitter and weak voice.
Even if Yue Lixin didn't say it, Yan Mujin could see it.
At the foot of Wula Mountain, Shulü Pogu was captured, and Li Renfu immediately became in danger. The leader of the Dangxiang people no longer dared to fight with Gao Siji. Gao Su's reinforcements made him extremely panic-stricken and terrified.
He fought desperately and forced Gao Siji to retreat, then took the opportunity to ride away on his horse. He looked as if his butt was on fire, and he had no intention of helping Yan Mujin and others to resist the Tang army.
As for the banks of the Yellow River, Zhang Jingda, with a spear in his hand, had already been commanding the Tang army in Henei in an orderly manner to chase and kill the defeated Khitan soldiers.
Without Yue Lixin's command, these elite Khitan troops were in a state of panic, like dogs that had lost their homes. Now they were in a state of panic and could only flee in panic. Many of them even lost the courage to resist and were completely frightened.
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a landslide. The Khitans led by Yue Lixin were the first to be defeated. In addition, Zhu Li, like a savage dragon, rushed forward recklessly, causing people and horses to fall to the ground and wailing everywhere he passed, which accelerated the defeat.
Yan Mujin was unwilling, but had to admit that they were defeated. Ever since Zhu Li, the Tang general who killed her husband, appeared on the battlefield, the Heshuo army went crazy. Not only did they reverse the situation in an instant, but they also had the momentum to tear through the sky and rush into the sky.
A person's name is like the shadow of a tree. Zhu Li's fame is like a mythical existence to the Heshuo soldiers. As long as they heard that he was in the front, they would immediately become very excited and would not even bother with instigation or instigation.
An invincible general could indeed influence the outcome of a war. Thinking about it this way, her husband Yelu Sala and Yuelixin's husband Murong Ba died miserably in Qingliang Valley, which was an absolutely unimaginable loss for the Khitans.
The importance of brave generals is not empty talk. According to historical records, during the Five Dynasties period, a Khitan general named Gao, with only 500 elite soldiers, defeated the 200,000-strong army of the Later Tang Dynasty and killed several generals of the Later Tang Dynasty. This is an ironclad historical fact.
"Let's retreat, retreat to Wuyuan immediately. No matter what, we must take Lu Po and the girl Yueliduo with us. As long as Shulü Pogu's wife and daughter are still in our hands, even if he is captured by Tang, they should not be able to use him." Yanmujin looked at Zhu Li and comforted himself with a bitter face.
As the daughter of Khitan Prime Minister Qila, she was of noble status and married to Yelu Sala, a warrior of the second largest Khitan tribe. Everything was perfect and her life was brilliant.
Unexpectedly, during a routine raid to the south, her husband was killed outside the Great Wall, and all the beautiful things in her life became a bubble.
The death of her husband had a huge impact on her. She was unwilling to accept it. She couldn't just watch her
Happiness just died like that.
Since her husband died in the war, the glory and fame that originally belonged to him should be inherited by her, his wife, Yan Mujin was full of ambitions.
"Women are weak by nature, but strong when they become mothers." This is true for most mothers in the world. Yanmujin is also a strong and stubborn woman.
Get up from where you fell.
So Yanmujin came to Fengzhou. She wanted to kill Zhu Li to avenge her husband, but also to prove herself that she was no less capable than any man.
It’s just that “ideals are full, but reality is skinny”. She came here with great confidence, but ended up being defeated. Not only was she defeated in wisdom, but she was also completely defeated in bravery.
It seems that the rumor that Zhu Li once defeated Murong Ba is not groundless. Such a brave man is rare in the world, and only such a brave man can defeat Murong Ba.
Yanmu Jin was filled with emotion and deep regret. Why was such a heroic man born in the declining Tang Dynasty
Following Yanmujin's order, the Khitan army fled first. As for the Uighurs whose leader was captured, Yanmujin and Yuelixin were now unable to take care of them. The defeated Uighur soldiers could only wish for the best.
Yanmujin and Yuelixin led the escape, and most of the Di people were defeated. As for the Dangxiang people, they fled earlier than the Khitans, and those who were able to leave alive had already disappeared.
As soon as he saw Yanmu Jin running away, Zhu Li rode his horse to Gao Su's side, took the steel spear from him, and said solemnly: "You and Zhang Jingda will discuss the follow-up matters here. I will go after Yanmu Jin."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Li rushed out like the wind without waiting for Gao Su's response.
There were more than 2,000 guards and the guard general Gao Siji traveling with them, leaving only Gao Su and Zhang Jingda, standing in the wind with confused faces, feeling disheveled and bewildered.
"Why does the general want to chase Yan Mujin? She is just a widow whose husband has died. What's the big deal?" Zhang Jingda didn't understand and looked at Gao Su in confusion and asked with puzzlement.
Gao Su rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Don't ask me, I don't know either. However, I believe the general won't do anything meaningless. Since the general wants to pursue Yan Mujin, it can only mean that this woman is definitely not just a widow."
"Okay, quickly collect the prisoners and organize the army to march forward. If what I guessed is correct, Wuyuan should have been captured by the general long ago." Gao Su looked at Zhu Li's receding back and spoke in a mysterious tone.
"Why do you think so?" Zhang Jingda retorted unconvincedly, as if blaming him for not explaining it clearly.
Gao Su raised his hand and slapped the other man on the back of his head. He really liked this young man who was about the same age as Zhu Li. He said unhappily, "The general only brought more than 2,000 Yue cavalry. If Wuyuan had not been captured, how could he have rashly chased after them? Although cavalry is a powerful weapon on the battlefield, it is absolutely impossible to capture Wuyuan with only more than 2,000 Yue cavalry, let alone capture Yanmujin."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingda nodded seriously, as if he agreed with Gao Su's guess.
Yanmujin and Yuelixin led the remaining 10,000 Khitan cavalrymen and headed northwest to Wuyuan.
Seeing the flag flying on the top of the city from afar, it was still the big flag of the Uighurs. Yanmujin and Yuelixin didn't know why, but they both breathed a sigh of relief. They turned their heads and looked at each other at the same time, their expressions
Very complicated.
It was these two who instigated Shulü Pogu to lead her troops to attack Fengzhou, but now the great revenge has not been taken yet, and Shulü Pogu has been sacrificed. How can she not feel complicated
In Wuyuan City, there are Shulü Pogu's wife and daughter who are waiting at the door eagerly. How will they face them
To be specific, Yanmujin and Shulü Pogu are relatives. Their two families are not only future in-laws, but also uncle-in-law and brother-in-law. Yelü Lupo is Yelü Abaoji's aunt, so Yanmujin and Yelü Lupo are aunt-in-law and sister-in-law.
Now, as a result of a careless move, my son-in-law has been captured alive. This feeling of embarrassment and guilt is truly beyond description to outsiders.
After traveling quickly all the way, Yanmujin and his party finally arrived at the city of Wuyuan. Without Yanmujin's signal, a Khitan general rode forward and knocked on the gate.
"Hey, Samoge is leading his troops back to the city. Why don't you open the city gates and let us in."
After shouting loudly, the deputy general suddenly realized that no one seemed to be paying attention to him. Confused, he couldn't help but shout again: "You damned bastards, Sanmoge is back in the city, why don't you hurry out of the city to welcome him, are you tired of living?"
Before he could finish his words, the huge Uighur flag that was fluttering in the wind on the top of the city wall suddenly fell down, and then a huge Tang army flag, fluttering in the cold wind, slowly rose up.
This bizarre scene dumbfounded all the Khitan warriors who had been eagerly waiting for the opportunity. They all wondered in their hearts, what are these Uighurs doing
Before they could react, countless archers suddenly appeared on the top of the city. These archers, without exception, were almost all dressed in light armor, with bows and arrows on strings, which was exactly the attire of the Tang army.
As soon as he appeared, one could hear the continuous sounds of "Bang, bang, bang...", followed by a rain of arrows that fell towards the city.
This sudden scene frightened Yanmujin, Yuelixin and others so much that their faces turned pale and they were stunned.
The first to react to the sudden change were the old Khitan generals. Several brave generals immediately jumped out from the sides of the two women. There was a sudden sound of "clang, clang..." and the scimitars at their waists were instantly unsheathed. They surrounded the two women and protected them in an instant.
"My two men, Wuyuan has been captured, please leave as soon as possible." A Khitan general waved his sword to block the feather arrows and shouted to remind the two women.
"Hurry up, two Moge, we will cover your retreat." Another Khitan warrior rode his horse to the front of Yanmujin and Yuelixin, wielding the scimitar in his hand so that no water could penetrate it, and shouted without turning his head.
... ...
The general shouted and stood up one after another, which made the other Khitans under the city realize that Wuyuan had been lost and the people in the city were Tang troops. The purpose of raising the Uighur flag was just to lure them closer, which was really insidious.
It was just a little too late for them to realize all this. Many of the returning Khitan warriors had relaxed their minds long ago because of the huge Uighur flag. They were caught off guard by a rain of arrows falling from the sky. There were loud "puff", "puff", "puff..." sounds, and countless blood flowers spurted out immediately, creating a magnificent scene like a gushing fountain under the Wuyuan city.
"Ah, how could this happen?" A Khitan warrior roared unwillingly when he was on the verge of death.
"Run away! It's a conspiracy, a conspiracy. It's a conspiracy of the Tang people." A Khitan shouted in horror at the top of his lungs.
