Time passed little by little, and noon arrived. With the help of more and more reinforcements from the Western Front, the Song Army formation in front of the high ground finally occupied one-third of the entire high ground through bloody melee and the expulsion of large-scale defeated troops.

For a while, Wu Shu did not force him to stay, but followed Bali Su's request and turned around to go to Huo Nu's camp.

Soon after he left, Wanyan Benjian began to implement the planned preparation strategy. On the one hand, he ordered the troops to shrink and consolidate their formations, and on the other hand, he gathered the troops on the western front and retreated, in order to continue to control the high ground and protect the camp behind him.

However, this action inevitably put the Sudoku Speed ​​Unit located at the corner of the battle line into a dangerous situation.

"General Huyan!"

At the same corner of the battle line, a embarrassed Khitan knight came from the south and finally found Huyantong. However, he did not dismount and just spoke anxiously. "I am the messenger of General Yelu. I have been here several times before..."

"Speak directly!" Hu Yantong, who was shirtless and wrapping a wound on his arm under a flag, scolded him coldly without raising his head.

"Yes!" the Khitan messenger did not dare to neglect. "The front line of Jiagu Wuli is out of touch with the front line of Tuhesu. It is obvious that they are about to retreat. Most of General Chen Jue has been involved, and General Dong Min is obviously involved.

I'm afraid that He Shilie Taiyu's ten thousand households will also withdraw, and he has already tried to outflank Prince Tuoli. My general asked me to ask whether he will go in with the others now or stay to help you end the sudden attack.

?Also, do you want to inform General Xu Shian and ask him to come to our aid and capture Tuhesu quickly?"

"How many troops are there on the southern flank of Tuhesu?"

"Three to four thousand..." the Khitan messenger responded with all his strength. "It's just an approximation. Most of the infantry have spears and most of the cavalry have war hammers. The formation is very stable."

"Let your general go and work hard to move forward with other ministries. Leave me three thousand light cavalry to watch and seize the south wing of Tuhesu. When I personally capture the northern wing where Tuhesu is, I will sweep away with these three thousand cavalry."

South Wing..." At this point, Hu Yantong paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth. "I, Hu Yantong, will personally resolve the sudden and sudden issue. The prince also personally promised me, what should I ask Lao Xu to do? I won't even do it.

None of the deputies behind the sudden speed change shouted."

The messenger knew that the other party was upset because of what happened a few days ago, and now heard Han Shizhong's words of advice, so he didn't say much, just responded, and then rode back to Yelu Yu to see him.

As soon as the opponent left, Hu Yantong, who had bandaged his wounds, couldn't wait to ask his personal guards to help put on the armor. A moment later, he put on the armor again and then personally led his troops to launch another round of offensive on the north wing where Tu Hesu himself was located.

Seeing Hu Yantong's flag coming over again, under General Tuhe's flag, the exhausted Jurchen general just sighed slightly, and then was not in a hurry to command the troops to move forward. Instead, he looked around on his horse to observe the situation.

But what is there to observe right now?

You must know that although the field of vision is restricted and the battlefield is chaotic, it is still clear that the Jin army is shrinking. It is natural that the headquarters located in the corner will be surrounded on three sides. Jieyuan behind, Huyantong in front, and Huyantong in front.

The Khitan cavalry in front, and Xu Shi'an further away, who had been asked by Han Shizhong to stand still.

Frankly speaking, at this time, Tuhesu intended to retreat. After all, it was meaningless to continue to hold on at this time. On the contrary, bringing the troops back would be more beneficial to the overall situation.

But... Thinking of this, Tu Hesu looked directly ahead at Hu Yantong, who had already rushed a hundred steps in front of him... How could he get away with this person when he was so entangled?

It should be noted that the battle lasted for half a day. As the first two troops to engage in the battle, the troops on both sides were already very exhausted and had no strength. What was the use of armor? In this case, once he suddenly chose to retreat, the cavalry

It is still possible to survive with mobility, but if the infantry loses its foothold, it will be submerged in the Song army's battle tide. And if the troops are abandoned and the cavalry are left behind, they may be able to survive a little while in the chaos, but that is not possible.

How likely is this kind of survival? What about your own tribe?

We have gone through many wars, and we have been leading the way in the past few decades. Even if we restrained ourselves after being injured, how could we abandon our subordinates and run away?

At this thought, Tu Hesu suddenly looked to the south of him, then summoned a close personal guard, and whispered to him: "Tell that noisy guy to take advantage of Huyantong to attack me, and let him lead his troops to withdraw first.

Take as many people back as you want, I will be the one to wean him off!"

The guard looked a little confused, but still turned around and left under Tu Hesu's fierce gaze.

Only then did Tu Hesu turn around and concentrate on mobilizing his troops to meet Huyantong's assault... But this time, the battle situation further verified Tu Hesu's suspicion. The troops on both sides were getting more and more exhausted, but because they had already killed the red

As a result, the morale is very high, which makes the attrition of troops more and more rapid, and the battle becomes more and more fierce.

However, Hu Yantong always had a sense of resilience, just biting himself and not letting go. It was obvious that he was deeply resentful about the previous incident.

On the other side, taking advantage of this opportunity, Tu Hesu's trusted guards successfully arrived at the position hosted by Han'er Meng'an on the south side... Because of Hu Yantong's main attack direction, low-intensity fighting has been maintained here, and the troops have been much more organized.

"Is this what Wanhu said?"

Meng'an, a man who always liked to pat horses, was startled when he heard this, and then frowned.

"good."

The guard looked a little impatient, responded, and hurried away, no longer paying attention to the other party.

As soon as the person left, the surrounding low-level officers gathered together, waiting for Meng An's decision.

The man thought for a moment and then gave a wry smile: "At this time, whether to go first or stay behind is just a matter of fate. It is better to stay and hold on and wait and see the situation."

Everyone looked at each other in shock, but looking at the situation on all sides, they had no choice but to pretend that nothing happened and continued to consume each other with the Khitan Qingqi in front.

In this way, the guard returned to Tuhesu's side again and informed his family of the result of the message delivery. However, until Huyantong was repulsed again, no movement was seen from the southern wing... Neither

He took the opportunity to retreat and escape, but did not react to the situation and took the initiative to rescue him.

"It's true that I underestimated this noisy guy." Tu Hesu's foot that was shot through was no longer itchy, but gradually became numb and painful. Seeing this situation, he was helpless for a moment, but simply

Zai Ma shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I think highly of him too."

"Wanhu?"

The Jurchen close friends around him obviously didn’t quite understand.

"He must have thought that I was trying to cut off his rear, but actually I was trying to attract the Song army's attention by using his larger numbers, and then take advantage of the situation to flee with his own cavalry." Tu Hesu responded calmly. "So don't move."

"This man is really judging the general's belly with a villain's heart!" A close aide was indignant. "Hu Yantong clearly had eyes for only ten thousand households. His escape was quite promising, but he actually had doubts and gave up on himself.

A way out."

"Don't laugh at people like this, because I do mean that." Tu Hesu laughed. "After all, if it continues like this, others may be able to support it, but we will be bitten to death by Hu Yantong first...

...So I hope that he will make a move first to see if there is a chance... Of course, if he escapes, we will still be bitten by Hu Yantong, and we have no complaints... After today's battle, don't you think

Don’t you see? In the eyes of God, both Jurchens and Han’ers have long been equal.”

The Jurchen warriors around had different expressions, but most of them looked sad.

And at this moment, hundreds of steps ahead, Hu Yantong's troops blew the trumpet again, which was obviously a gathering of people to reorganize, which caused tension on the battlefield again.

"This really doesn't work... it really doesn't work." Tu Hesu murmured to himself, and at the same time looked around again, but this time he no longer looked at the general battle situation around him, but took a rough inventory of the troops and horses within his field of vision.

Let's say that the Tuhesu headquarters initially had 9,000 cavalry, but because Pusan ​​Beilu's advance went awry, the battle line had to be stretched too long and too thin, and one-fourth of it was overwhelmed by Han Shizhong. From then on, other troops

The troops have been stuck in the embarrassing situation of fighting on two sides, especially the north wing here, which was constantly being cut apart, and then Huyantong successfully bit off the middle in a previous assault, and then split into two, with one on the south side.

, there are about three to four thousand people on horseback maintaining the position, one group is standing around Tuhesu's own banner, there are about more than one thousand people on horseback.

Of course, the rest of the tribe was not annihilated. If that were the case, the army would have collapsed long ago. Instead, like the kidnapping horse in front of Han Shizhong at the beginning, they collapsed, retreated, dispersed, and then disappeared in or far away from this area, which may reach

It is difficult to gather on a battlefield of hundreds of square kilometers.

It's time to make a decision.

"We can't count on the south wing. Right now, there are still four to five hundred cavalry and a thousand infantry." Tu Hesu suddenly spoke again, and his tone became much more serious. "Let's start moving ourselves!"

The surrounding officers and guards were awe-inspiring for a moment.

"The cavalry will attack with me, and the infantry will take advantage of the situation to move closer to the southern flank." Tuhesu calmly ordered. "When the infantry is successfully reunited, we will also withdraw to the southern flank and continue to support it in order to preserve as much strength as possible."

After saying this, Wanhu didn't wait for the people around him to think about it, and he rode forward directly. The guards around him didn't have time to think too much and just followed him. Some officers thought about it for a moment and had no objections. Therefore, he

Hundreds of cavalrymen quickly gathered under the banner behind them, and then slowly started to move towards Huyantong's banner.

The remaining infantry hesitated for a moment and began to take advantage of the situation to leave their position and slowly move south.

It can only be said that there seems to be no problem with Tu Hesu's strategy this time. When he made a bold move and personally led the remaining cavalry to face him, Huyantong on the opposite side was not angry but happy. He immediately changed the military order and let the remaining troops, which had been less than 2,000 men,

They arranged their array in response and did not pay attention to the hasty transfer of the thousands of infantry.

However, as the cavalry gradually increased their speed, suddenly under the attention of the troops on both sides, they turned around and bypassed the Huyantong tribe, leading the hundreds of cavalry along the river towards the outside of the battlefield.

He galloped further west.

This scene shocked everyone, and everyone was caught off guard.

After a while, the hundreds of cavalry behind Tu Hesu also split up instantly. Some hesitated and turned back, while others kept following with their heads lowered. Even the cavalry who plunged into Huyantong's army formation, some had no time to change their route and out of anger, took the initiative to charge and fight.

Two kinds...and the latter surprisingly includes the flag bearer of Tuhesu.

This guard, holding the banner of Wanhu, quickly realized what had happened after following his Wanhu in a daze, then turned around without saying a word, raised the flag and rushed into the Song army's formation.

For a time, there were only more than a hundred cavalry left behind Tuhesu, and they were still scattering towards Shiyi to the south.

However, this still could not stop Hu Yantong from being furious. He was probably the most angry person on the battlefield for Tu He's sudden escape from the battle. He immediately got on his horse and led dozens of horsemen to pursue him.

And just when the main battlefield was in chaos, something even more bizarre happened - after only a few hundred steps, the sudden speed that had a high chance of escaping suddenly turned to the left and detoured...

...This is nothing, because the south after turning is where Shiyi is... However, after turning to the south, Tu Hesu did not stop at all, but continued to turn until it completely turned around, and then collided head-on with Huyantong's pursuers.

Under the gaze of everyone, this Jurchen veteran who was famous for his bravery in the past seemed to have really returned to what he had been ten years ago, taking the lead, wielding his war hammer, and charging ahead personally.

The two generals faced each other head-on. Hu Yantong was obviously caught off guard by the opponent's tactical counterattack. Suddenly, Tu He quickly picked up a hammer and hit his already injured arm.

Under the severe pain, Hu Yantong rolled over and fell off the horse, but the sudden attack and speed of the successful attack did not have any good results. The person was obviously injured and lost strength in his feet. After the attack, he lost his balance on the horse and was immediately hit.

The Huyantong guards came and pushed him off their horses.

The two of them almost rolled into a depression full of mud and water.

It is said to be a depression, but in fact it is just a slightly concave place on the plain. The water cannot reach a person's calf. Hu Yantong fell off his horse first and then stood up first. It was obvious that he lost his heavy weapon in the process of falling off his horse. He chose to take his own life.

Finally, he took out a dagger, then swung his weak arm and ran towards Tu Hesu in panic.

On the other side, Tu Hesu tried hard to stand up in the mud, but couldn't stand up straight at all. He stood up and slipped repeatedly.
To be continued...
