Changes on the battlefield have always affected the whole body, but the formation of troops has always been about being as stable as Mount Tai.
The Tiger Guards had already entered the Khitan camp from the west, occupying a large number of large and small camps, but the Khitan fighters in other camps did not become a mess, but under the command of Yelu Xienechi, some of them stood firm and some were mobilized in an orderly manner. , Support the comrades of all parties, enrich the battle formations and defense lines everywhere, and resist the onslaught of the Tiger Guards layer by layer.
At dawn, the battle intensified.
The attacking Tang army seemed to see the light in front of them, and they ran more and more bravely.
Although the morale of the Khitan soldiers guarding the camp was much lower, but because Yelu Xienechi was in charge of the front line, no one retreated. Now that the sky is getting brighter and the most difficult night is about to pass, the Khitan fighters can't help themselves The spirit lifted.
"General Zhao, it's almost dawn, and we are still short of the last two camp defense lines before we can break into the Khitan central camp! If we can't break into the camp in time and win a decisive victory, just occupying the Khitan west camp, the battle will be over." It will be delayed, and Khitan may counterattack at that time!"
The deputy general came back from the front of the battle covered in blood, and said anxiously to Zhao Polu, "The Khitan army is determined to fight. It is impossible to break through the last two lines of defense in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, I lost my heart." Ministry, Yeluxienechi is still so difficult!"
After Zhao Polu heard these words, his face was still as hard as iron, and he did not show any negative emotions.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly smiled slightly: "The situation you mentioned will not happen, we will win immediately!"
Seeing that Tang Jun was firmly blocked from the line of defense and unable to attack the camp in front of him, Yeluxie's eyes gradually turned from calm to calm.
He loudly said to the soldiers fighting left and right: "The imperial army of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than that! Defending the city is okay, and there is nothing special about attacking fortifications!
"Khitan warriors, as long as you fight with all your strength, we will block the Tang army today, and when the reinforcements arrive tomorrow, we will be able to defeat them and attack Huairong City! This is our perfect opportunity. Huairong City is the Tang Army's stronghold. , there are countless wealth and beauties, and they will all be yours by then!"
When the Khitan fighters heard this, they all screamed strangely, and their morale rose a lot.
But at this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the camp in the north. It was so powerful that it was even more terrifying than the thunder in the summer night. Only the collapse of Mount Tai could be described.
Yelu Xienechi's expression changed immediately, and he followed the sound to look north, and said sharply, "What's going on?!"
Without waiting for someone to report, he lifted off by himself, and he couldn't help but tremble when he saw this.
I saw that the gate of Beiying no longer existed, and the wreckage of the gate was trampled underfoot by a torrent of iron armor! And on that fine cavalry battle formation, the majestic and dazzling military formation light, Yeluxie Nechi is very familiar with it!
"Shangguan Qingcheng?!" Yelu Xienechi was like a mouse seeing a cat, and the fear could not be suppressed at this moment no matter what!
What he didn't understand was that he had sent fifty thousand cavalry to the north to intercept, why Shangguan Qingcheng would still appear here! And according to the monks who came back from Yangjiaopao, Shangguan Qingcheng's troops also suffered nearly half of the casualties in that battle! At this point, why can they launch such a strong attack on the camp? !
The only thing Yeluxienechi understood was that it was very difficult for Beiying to stop Shangguan Qingcheng.
After a night of fierce fighting, the northern camp was not attacked by the tiger guards, and the defense line was intact. However, in order to defend the central camp and prevent Zhao Polu from driving straight in, Yelv Xienechi mobilized elites from all battalions to stop the attack, and the same was true for the northern camp—if not How could he block the Tiger Guards in the west camp all night when there was no heart in the camp
To be honest, even without the elite soldiers, the northern battalion would still be able to defend the battalion with a complete defense force.
The way tens of thousands of people set up their camps must be a large camp surrounded by small camps.
Throwing away a few small battalions, the entire Dazhai only needs to shrink the front line and defend the camps behind, the defense system is still there, and it is not easy for a team of more than 10,000 elite cavalry to attack.
But the one who came was Shangguan Qingcheng!
In the Battle of Luoyankou, Yelu Xienechi defeated the Spike Army, and gained a great reputation on the grassland. For a while, he overwhelmed General Yeludi Lugu of the Sijin Department, and he himself was often proud of himself.
But what happened in that battle, Yelu Xienechi, as the Khitan general at the time, knew better than anyone else.
The impact of the Spike Army on the battlefield and the oppressive force brought to him by Shangguan Qingcheng were nightmares that made him sweat profusely when he dreamed back at midnight.
If possible, he would never want to meet Shangguan Qingcheng on the battlefield again in his life.
But now, Shangguan Qingcheng is here.
With a team of elite cavalry, it is not inferior to the elite cavalry of the former Spike Army!
Yeluxienechi felt that the rosy light in the sky had collapsed, and the world fell into darkness again, and the endless night would never be dispelled by the light—it had no end.
After a short period of dizziness, Yelu Xienechi bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to calm down.
He is one of the most valiant generals on the grassland, apart from Yelu Abaoji, only Yeludi Lugu is as famous as him, and his courage will never be lost at any time.
"You block Zhao Polu, and the army will follow me to block Shangguan Qingcheng! After all, she only has more than ten thousand people. Even if I die, I will block her! The reinforcements sent by the king will arrive soon, as long as we can hold on until tomorrow , Tang Jun has few soldiers, and will definitely be defeated!"
Yelv Xienie's eyes were red, and he roared to give orders to his lieutenant general. After giving himself a reason to hope for victory, he had the courage to fight for his life.
At this moment, Yelv Xienechi has put life and death aside. He has lost his heart and soul, and he has long been guilty of an unforgivable crime. If he can't keep the camp today, let alone betray Yelu Abaoji's trust, he will have no face to face himself!
In all fairness, Yelu Xienechi's judgment and arrangement are not wrong. As long as they can hold the camp of the Chinese army, even if the other camps are lost, once the reinforcements sent by Yelu Abaoji arrive tomorrow, the battlefield they stick to will become the center Blooming momentum, under the internal and external echoes, they will never lose!
Although the Tang army was elite, Yeluxienechi had 200,000 troops after all. With sufficient preparations, it would not be difficult to hold the camp for two days, no matter how you look at it.
The key point is that Yelu Abaoji's reinforcements were dispatched in a timely manner. However, when Datang faced the situation of attacking Tang from all over the world, the troops in the northern border did not have an advantage.
It's a pity that Zhang Chang'an and Buchen didn't intend to give him this chance.
In the tent, Balatu had talked with Zhang Changan and Buchen for half an hour.
Although the conditions put forward by the other party are very generous, for example, after the victory of this battle, the cattle and sheep of the Khitan grain raising team captured by the previous army will be distributed to them tens of thousands of head, so that their tribe can grow stronger without worrying about the winter. , and if the Tang army uses troops on the grassland in the future, it will not meet their tribes in battle and so on.
But Baratu still couldn't make up his mind.
The benefits of withdrawing are huge and very tempting, but the risks are not small. If the Khitan had won the battle against the Tang Dynasty, and after the war the Khitan believed that he was responsible for the unfavorable war, then his tribe would definitely cease to exist.
After all, at this moment, the Khitan army showed no signs of defeat.
Baratu didn't struggle for too long, and the news of Shangguan Qingcheng's invasion of the North Camp reached them.
After figuring out the changes in the situation, Baratu already wanted to leave.
Zhang Changan and Buchen also made it very clear that if he insisted on not leaving and continued to stay in the camp, he would be an enemy of the Tang army. Once the Tang army broke through the camp, all of them would undoubtedly die.
The reason for the escape!
But Baratu couldn't make up his mind for a while.
This decision is too big, hesitating, hesitating, looking at the head and tail, leading to timidity and difficulty in making a decision, which is the psychology that ordinary people will have.
However, Baratu didn't waste his time.
It wasn't that he had figured something out, but that the warriors in the tribe suddenly gathered in large numbers, asking for orders to go back to herd herds, and they didn't want to fight meaninglessly and die here anymore.
These people are naturally bewitched and controlled by the concept of Quanzhen and Wukong Shimen.
Seeing that the public opinion was hard to disobey, Baratu would lose his majesty if he did not make a decision, and he might not be able to control his own people. Moreover, the situation had indeed reached a critical stage, so he gritted his teeth and slapped his forehead , ordered the tribal fighters to retreat from the camp, and leave this battlefield first!
Baratu had already made up his mind to wait and see not far away after leaving the battlefield.
In case the Khitan reinforcements arrive early, or the Tang army loses unexpectedly, and they come back to help in the battle, it can be said that they left the barracks to break out of the chaotic battlefield and open up the situation—this way they won't be blamed.
This idea is indeed a good idea, with the best of both worlds.
But there is no such thing as taking advantage of everything in the world. If Khitan really wins, Baratu and his tribe will definitely be slaughtered by Yeluxienechi. It's just that many people always think they are smart. When making a decision, they always think that they have all the benefits and don't know how to choose.
On the one hand, this is because they are not intelligent enough, on the other hand, this is also due to human nature.
Baratu took the tribal fighters and quickly left the camp. After not walking far, he saw many tribal fighters follow and escaped from the battlefield.
Only then did he realize that he was being used as pawns by Zhang Changan and Buchen.
The other grassland tribes who came out must have been "bewitched" like him, and they had the same concerns, just waiting for the first bird to appear. In this way, even if Khitan wins, they can say after the war that they left with Baratu, and their culpability will be much less.
Baratu was very angry.
But the arrow has been shot, and there is no turning back.
What he still hasn't figured out is that the reason why Zhang Changan and Buchen personally came to persuade him to be the first to evacuate was not only because of the great hatred between him and Yelv Xienechi, but also because Quanzhen Guan and Wukong Shimen have the greatest penetration and influence on his tribal fighters.
Even if he doesn't want to leave, I'm afraid it's impossible.
Yeluxienechi and his own army were fighting fiercely with Shangguan Qingcheng's troops. Although it was defending according to the battalion, Shangguan Qingcheng's troops still broke through the defense lines one after another, and they could only barely support them.
Originally, Yelv Xienechi thought he could hold on until dark.
But all of a sudden, he heard the loud commotion in the camp behind him. He thought it was another Tang army's surprise soldiers who had arrived. To stare out!

"This bunch of idiots have done more than succeed in their failures, they killed me!" Yeluxienechi screamed.
Naturally, not all of the grassland tribes who fled, not even 30% of the overall infantry army.
But that's thousands of people too!
With so many people fleeing without permission, it was like a corner of the promotion collapsed, which quickly caused panic in the entire army.
It didn't take long for more and more grassland tribal troops, whose morale fell to the bottom, to join the fleeing team one after another.
In just one hour, the headquarters of the Khitan Eight Divisions also collapsed.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Yelv Xienechi couldn't hold on any longer, spurted out a mouthful of blood, shook his body, his eyes darkened again, and fell to the ground.
