Ever since Shangguan Qingcheng led his troops into the grassland and attacked the army's food preparation team, Yeluxienechi was facing an increasingly unfavorable situation. But he never gave up, but tried his best to stabilize the situation and save the crisis.
Even if his heart and soul were to perish and he himself was doomed, Yeluxienechi did not complain about himself. Instead, with great perseverance and sense of responsibility, he overcame many psychological obstacles and presided over the overall military situation with a high spirited spirit.
When the Tiger Guards attacked the camp, even if the line of defense was intact, in order to boost the morale of the whole army, he would fight in person.
For the battle situation in Guizhou and for the war in the Khitan Kingdom, Yelu Xienechi can be said to have put all his life and death, honor and disgrace, and worked hard.
Because of his hard work, even in the face of the double attack from the Tiger Guards and Shangguan Qingcheng, he is confident that the camp can hold out for two days, and when the reinforcements arrive, the situation will be different immediately.
But all these efforts, the victory that was in sight, turned into a dream because of the grassland tribal army's unauthorized withdrawal.
It was enough for the defeated tribal army to withdraw, but the camp of the Chinese army was still as solid as a rock. Before even the Tang army could touch the wall, they retreated first, causing the situation that could have been held to collapse in an instant. It is conceivable that Yelu How deep is the grief and indignation in Xie Nie Chi's heart.
A mob is a mob.
You can fight with the wind, and you can be as brave as a tiger. You can fight with such momentum that the enemy can't lift their heads, but once the battle situation is unfavorable, they will only lose their positions, or even run away.
When Yelv Xienechi woke up, the summer noon sun blinded him, and he tilted his head to finally see the scene in front of him clearly.
He was no longer in the big camp, but on a hilltop in the Jundu mountain area near Juyongguan, thirty or forty miles east of the camp.
He realized that after he vomited blood and fainted in the camp, he was taken out of the camp in time by the big monk.
But he didn't feel rejoicing, instead his heart trembled, as if mourning his concubine. Struggling to stand up, he pushed away the people who were supporting him on the left and right, walked two steps quickly, opened his eyes wide and looked at the Huairong camp, breathing heavily like a bull.
The well-organized military camp was devastated, except for the western camp that was almost in ruins, the northern camp and the central camp were also full of smoke, felt tents were toppled, walls collapsed, and all kinds of luggage and sundries continued to burn. In Dazhai, which is 20 to 30 miles away from the entire company, there are no Khitan soldiers still fighting.
The corpses of Khitan fighters in the camp were strewn all over the ground, and the blood flowed across the oars. Even if it was thirty or forty miles away, the smell of blood seemed so strong that one could not breathe. Teams of cavalrymen from the Tang army galloped back and forth to sort out the order in the camp. The surviving Khitan soldiers who were injured either fell to the ground and howled, or a large number of them became prisoners of the Tang army.
And more Khitan fighters are outside the camp at this moment, fleeing to the east, and most of them are warriors from the eight tribes of Khitan. The soldiers of the Tang army behind were in full swing. In order to increase the speed of the chase, they basically had no formation at all, as if they were crazy.
Yelv Xienechi felt his heart hurt like a knife, and closed his eyes in pain.
Although his eyes were closed, two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
He heard Tang Jun's call.
Tang Jun chased and killed while shouting: "Whoever surrenders is not a fighter from the Eight Khitan tribes will not be killed!",
This means that if the grassland tribes lay down their weapons, they can completely save their lives; at the same time, it also means that the fighters of the eight tribes of Khitan have no way of life at all.
Even if they surrender, they can't linger on. Tang Jun has decided to kill them!
How could Yelv Xienechi not be able to react to the matter now, the Tang army was dividing the grassland.
To be precise, it is to divide the Khitan and other grassland tribes.
Yelvxienechi even thought that those steppe tribal troops who retreated without authorization were probably bewitched by the Tang army, so they retreated at a critical period, leading to the complete collapse of the battle situation.
When Yelu Abaoji ordered him to conduct a thorough investigation of the followers of Quanzhen Temple and Wukong Shimen in the military camp, he found nothing, thinking that there were no such people in the camp, and even if there were, they were nothing, let alone united.
Thinking about it now, I was so wrong.
Yelv Xienechi was full of remorse.
"General, let's go, if you don't go, the monks from the Tang Army will come after you!" A senior monk in the Khitan God Envoy Realm urged urgently.
Yelvxienechi didn't answer.
His heart was ashamed, and he didn't want to speak.
He opened his eyes and looked at the fighters of the Khitan Eight Division Headquarters who had fallen into hell. Tears and blood kept falling from the corners of his eyes.
Those young and strong people running on the wilderness shouting and crying are all warriors from the eight tribes of the Khitan. They once flattened the grassland and were invincible, conquering one tribe after another and trampling down chiefs one after another.
After fighting again and again, they have become stronger and stronger, and they have become more and more arrogant. They have enjoyed the supreme glory, so they have a sense of mission and responsibility that is rare on the grassland, and they have sacrificed their lives for the Khitan Kingdom. To die instead of the precious national consciousness of herding cattle and sheep.
They may not be the most elite fighters in the world, but absolutely every one of them is precious.
But now, they are being trampled on like weeds and slaughtered like lambs. How cruel this is, what a pity, sadness, and lamentation it is for them.

And all of this, in the final analysis, was all caused by him, Yelu Xienechi, the general of the heart, the most valiant warrior on the grassland.
He was ashamed of Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan Kingdom, and the grassland!
He is surrounded by remorse, guilt and regret.
"General, let's go, it will be too late!" The high-ranking cultivator of God's Envoy Realm began to persuade again. He really wanted to take Yelv Xienechi away forcibly, but the other party's cultivation was not weaker than him, and it was as if he had taken root under his feet, and he didn't move at all, which made him impatient.
After a while, Yelu Xienechi looked up to the sky and sighed in front of the Khitan warrior's Shura Purgatory.
Because of the blood and tears shed too much, his vision was already blurred, and it was full of scarlet.
He said: "Report to Your Majesty for me. I, Yelu Xie Niechi, am a sinner of Khitan. I have failed His Majesty's trust. I am not worthy to live in this world. Even if I die, I am not worthy to be remembered by Khitan people. Please, Your Majesty, please give me my life." The corpse, cast into an iron man, will live forever and kneel in front of Xilou City, and will be spurned by the Khitan people for a hundred years or a thousand years!"
After saying this, under the horrified eyes of everyone, Yelu Xienechi drew out his waist knife and put it across his throat. With a sudden force on his arm, his head flew high with a pop, and blood gushed from his neck.
One of the most praised and famous generals of the Khitan Kingdom, his soul returned to the grassland just like that.
Li Ye's imperial eyes saw this scene from afar.
Regarding the death of Yelv Xienechi, Li Ye didn't have much trouble in his heart.
Under the general trend, the emperor will die in Jiuquan, let alone a general
In the past, Li Keyong and Gao Pian, who hated the battlefield because they couldn't resist his attack, had already turned into dust.
So Li Ye didn't have any more feelings.
On the other hand, Shangguan Qingcheng, after learning that Yelu Xieniechi committed suicide, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "If the heart and soul were destroyed, it was because the Tang Dynasty was too strong, and in the end he was defeated because his companions were too unbearable."
This sentence can be regarded as the final conclusion on the defeat of Yelv Xienechi's Huairong.
It is also the most appropriate evaluation.
Not to mention the Khitan monk, who took the body of Yelu Xienechi and returned to Yelu Abaoji, and said that after the Tang army broke through the Huairong Khitan camp, after half a day of chasing and killing, the results were outstanding. Statistics make the whole army boil.
In this battle, the Tang army dispatched a total of 120,000 people, including more than 10,000 people from the Huairong Frontier Army and Shangguan Qingcheng's troops. As for the eight Khitan warriors who were killed, wounded or captured—they were all killed after being captured—there were more than 100,000 people.
After the defeat of the heartland, the grassland tribe army accounted for half of the Huairong Khitan camp, except for a few casualties, they all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. In all fairness, the strength of the grassland tribal army is not weak, and the combined strength exceeds 100,000 troops.
It's a pity that they are in a state of disunity, with not enough achievements and more failures.
In this battle, Zhang Changan and Buchen successfully confuse the grassland tribal army and withdrew from the battlefield at a critical moment, which played an incalculable role in the victory and quick end of the war. His deeds were widely praised and praised and worshiped by countless Tang soldiers and Tang people.
During the scuffle, Gesang was only scratched, and his life was saved.
After that, the army did not stop moving. After controlling the battlefield and resting for most of the night, in the early morning of the next day, it was divided into two divisions to block Yelu Abaoji's reinforcements, and the main force went straight to Juyongguan without stopping.
The reinforcements sent by Yelu Abaoji were extremely powerful. The 100,000 soldiers were all composed of soldiers from the eight divisions of the Khitan. They could definitely change the situation of the battle. However, Yelv Xienechi had already been defeated, and they had lost their support target. They needed to report back to Yelu Abaoji for their next move.
In order to prevent them from rushing to Juyongguan, Li Ye dispatched a fine cavalry to monitor and harass them.
According to Li Ye's plan in advance, when the Huwei Army in Huairong City launched a fierce attack on Yeluxie Nechi's troops, the Tang army on the front line of Juyong Pass would also launch an offensive against the Khitan army outside Juyong Pass. To hold them back and wear them down.
In this way, when the Tang army from Huairong's side rushed over, the battle situation could be settled smoothly.
The Spike Army went through a fierce battle outside Huairong City because they were personally resisted by Yelv Xienechi, but because the battle ended quickly, there was not much damage. They were the vanguard and led the Tiger Guards to the Juyongguan battlefield.
As for Juyongguan, the Tang army guarding the pass fought with the Khitan soldiers for three days and three nights. Because the Khitan battalion did not have any particularly elite trilogy, and there was no task at the level of Yeluxienechi, the Tang army fought smoothly and successfully broke into the battalion.
But the Khitan Eighth Division's army was also very tenacious in combat. In addition, there was no internal turmoil in the camp. Although many camps were lost, they still fought inextricably with the Tang army.
It's a pity that it was not the Khitan reinforcements that appeared on the fourth day, but the Spike Army.
