Yunzhou City looks precarious, as if it can be broken at any time, and then Yelu Shilu attacked the city with all his strength regardless of casualties, but the result was that the two sides fought until dark, and Yelu Abaoji was knocked out of the city tower, although he withdrew on a pile of corpses to buffer a little strength, but he also withdrew several fractures all over his body, vomited blood several times, and remained unconscious. Subsequently, the deputy marshal Yelu Gugu also personally led a death squad composed of all Khitan warriors, under the cover of a large number of crossbowmen to climb the city, the two sides fought until dawn, under the cover of night, Gonggu had to lead several times to climb the city tower, but each time was finally driven off the city wall.

Fighting until dawn, Yunzhou City has been shaking, but it has always stood tall.

Although they were unwilling, when dawn came, the defenders of the city began to exert their superior long-range equipment again, and their ballista throwing cannons and cloud carts and buildings had been almost destroyed, and they could only die in vain if they continued to attack the city. Continuing to attack at this time is obviously not a smart move. What's more, the huge casualties and high-intensity siege battles made all the coalition tribal leaders feel great pressure. They went south to make a fortune, not to storm a fortress that could not be captured.

If they continue to attack the city like this, they will not only not be able to grab money and children, but they will also let their few tribal warriors drain the last drop of blood under this city.

Finally, at the request of the tribal leaders. Jerushul had to withdraw his troops.

At this time, Song Jirong and other generals of the Qin army at the head of the city. It's just as exhausting. 10,000 against 100,000, it is not easy to keep to this extent. If you can have an elite cavalry in hand, it is a good time to go out of the city at this time, but now you can only watch the Hu people's ladder retreat, and symbolically launch a burst of stone bullets to send things off.

In fact, compared to the Hu people, the pressure on the Qin army defending the city was greater.

A city like Yunzhou is strong. But even the strongest city will be guarded. Especially in the face of 100,000 Hu people attacking the city, the kind of overwhelming pressure that can break the city almost at any time is very huge. If it weren't for the four artillery battalions and many heavy equipment left by the Western Expeditionary Army in the city, they would not have been able to hold until now. If it hadn't been for the destruction of the enemy's catapults and buildings, the city would have fallen long ago. Rao is like this, last night's night and night battle also caused heavy losses to the defenders in the city, and the people defending the city and the soldiers of the Qin army died countless deaths.

Jerusherus returned to the camp without even taking off his armor. Only took off the helmet and immediately went to the camp for the wounded soldiers. In the wounded barracks. There were light and serious wounded everywhere.

Yunzhou City was like a huge meat grinder, constantly killing and wounding the Qin defenders, while the Hu people suffered more casualties. Up to now, rough statistics show that more than 10,000 of Yelu Shilu's 100,000 horses have been killed in battle, and more than 5,000 have been seriously wounded. There are many more with minor injuries and disabilities.

The battle attrition exceeded 20%, and there were less than 80,000 capable soldiers left.

Following the death of his brother Jeruzah, his nephew Jeruza was now seriously wounded, and had not yet woken up after a day and a night.

"How's Shari?"

"The tart horse was very seriously injured, and several ribs had been broken before falling from the city, and then falling from the city, although there were corpses under the pad, relieving some of the momentum, but still very badly injured. Fractured lower leg in left leg, dislocated in both arms, severe muscle loss, internal organs, broken rib puncture to spleen, and concussion to the brain"

Listening to the white-bearded doctor's words, Yerusher's face became more and more ugly.

"When will he wake up?"

According to the current situation, he should have woken up, but he was unable to wake up for a long time, which is probably related to the concussion of his head. It depends on the luck of the tart horse Rong Shari, if he is lucky, he may wake up soon, and then after a year of rest from other injuries, he should be able to recover. But if it's bad luck, maybe, maybe"

"Maybe what?"

Yu Yue knew that the human head is the most mysterious and unpredictable, and it hurts the head, but it is extremely difficult to treat. If it's not good, you may never wake up, and perhaps, it will be more dangerous. ”

Jerushorus grabbed him: "I will let you heal him immediately, or if anything happens to him, you will be buried with him." ”

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, and there was really nothing he could do. I heard that Dengzhou in the south now has the largest medical hall in the world, the most comprehensive doctors, especially the Liao Chang of Dengzhou Medical College, who is known as the little doctor fairy, and the medical skills are extraordinary, maybe you can find a way to send it to Dengzhou, or ask the little doctor fairy to come for treatment. Whitebeard immediately thought of a way to move the tide of trouble.

Yelu Shilu glared at the old man, pushed him aside, looked at Abaoji in a coma, and turned his head away with a long sigh. At this time, what way did he have to go to Dengzhou to invite that little doctor fairy, and as for sending his nephew to Dengzhou, it became more and more impossible. “

turned around and returned to the camp, but saw that the deputy marshal Gonggu was already sitting in his camp, and asked his own soldiers to make tea. The tea had already been opened, and Gu Gu saw him come back, hugged his fists and said, "Please forgive me, I made tea by myself." ”

Yelu Shilu waved his hand: "They are all their own brothers, why be polite." ”

"What's the matter?"

Kogu only put down the teacup and straightened his face, of course he wouldn't just come for a cup of tea.

"Sir, I think we should think about it somehow."

"Other considerations? What considerations? ”

"Take, for example, the withdrawal of troops!" Kogu only replied. When the battle comes to this point, it is really a tiger, and Yunzhou City can't take it, so it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in Daibei. What's more, the southbound corps was annihilated, and there was no movement in the three towns of Yanmen, Chengde, and Weibo, while the Qin army reinforcements had arrived in advance, which made their situation worse day by day. The Khitans went south this time, but they didn't really come to clean up any portal for Li Keyong. They went south. The most important thing is to take advantage of the road to the north. In the end, it pointed directly to the states behind the mountain. He even fought to the military capital, threatened Yanjing, and forced Li Jing to transfer troops from the north to reinforce, so as to alleviate the huge pressure caused by the burning and killing of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in the Khitan and Xi realms of Huangshui Tuhe at this time.

Let these hundreds of thousands of people burn and loot everywhere on the grassland, and the first one who can't hold on is their Khitan.

However, this dispatch of troops, so far, can be said to have failed. It is impossible for them to fight the military capital, and they can't even beat Yunzhou. Case. It's better to leave early, otherwise it will be delayed here, in case they are surrounded by Li Jing, then their troops and horses may be wrapped in dumplings. They are already one of the few immovable mobile forces in the Khitan, and if they are destroyed, then the Qin people will have no worries about burning and looting in the grassland.

"Hasn't you been in touch with Li Keyong yet?"

Gu Gu only smiled bitterly: "That Shi Yan has been a little flickering recently, and he hasn't been in touch yet, and the road is far and difficult." I estimate that I am afraid that Li Keyong may have been dragged down by the Hedong army, but Zheng Congyan and other Hedong marshals have a good relationship with Li Jing. Other than that. I suspect that Li Keyong saw that the situation here was bad, and had already sent an order to the Yanmen army not to let them go north. If so. The two armies of Zhang Zimian and Liu Xun have no worries and will be killed at any time. If they come, they will be in trouble. Don't forget, Dashuai, the cowhide pass in the north of Yunzhou, and the 20,000 Li Siyuan's subordinates that we ignored. ”

"Ironwood Thorn and Ghost Chi'er, haven't they cut off Li Siyuan's head yet?" Yelu Shilu frowned, there are still 30,000 people over there, if Li Siyuan's defeated army can be settled as soon as possible, it is just right to transfer them to fight the cowhide pass and eat Li Siyuan's remaining troops and horses together.

"There's no news yet, we haven't been contacted for two days, it can't be that something happened, right?"

Jerusher: "Something? What's going on? He asked knowingly, if something happened, it would never be possible to be defeated by Li Siyuan, it could only be that the Qin army and a support soldier suddenly appeared outside the fortress. Where are the reinforcements from Li Jing's side? He felt a little uneasy.

"The news that came back yesterday is that Li Jing is still in the military capital and is gathering soldiers and horses, and it is said that this time the reinforcements will exceed 100,000 people."

"Are you sure that Li Jing is still in the military capital at this time?" Yelu Shilu pinched his beard, and Liu Xun's tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared on the battlefield of Jincheng, so that Sara was killed in battle and 50,000 soldiers and horses were annihilated. Since Liu Xun arrived in Jincheng so quickly, there is no reason for Li Jing to remain in the military capital. Even if he respects his identity and refuses to take risks, he can send soldiers and horses to help first.

Something isn't quite right.

A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, Li Jing is not the kind of person who does not dare to take risks, on the contrary, Li Jing likes to use odd with soldiers the most, and he likes to charge with battles. There is no reason for such a young marshal to shrink in the military capital under the favorable circumstances of today's situation. Could it be? The military capital pass is just a false flag, and Li Jing has actually led his troops out of the pass? Could it be that the two days of the Iron Wood Thorn have not heard from them is because they have already met Li Jing?

Could it be that they have already been annihilated by Li Jing?

Exercise!

He couldn't help but curse, since he crossed the Yin Mountain, he always felt that the intelligence couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Sometimes, the information is sent back wrong. Just like Liu Xun's support soldiers, the spies didn't find any trace in advance, until they suddenly traveled thousands of miles and appeared on the battlefield of Jincheng.

It's really useless, if only I could have more useful information.

He felt like he was in the middle of a dark night, and everything but his surroundings were full of fog.

Perhaps, it's time to think about retreating. Although he had no information, he sensed that a large net was already coming towards him around him.

"Dashuai, Shari is seriously injured, and he can't be healed if he stays here in poor conditions, so it's better to have someone send him back first. At this time, it is not helpful for those wounded soldiers to stay, it is better to let them go back with them, and it can also reduce some of the burden of food and grass. Gu only saw Yelu Shilu's hesitation, and immediately proposed euphemistically.

Let people send Yelu Abaoji and the wounded soldiers back, this is actually just a step. Once they really let Abaoji and them go, it will be much more convenient to talk about retreat next. What's more, it really didn't help these wounded soldiers to stay here, and now they were sent away, once the situation was urgent, there would be no burden around them, and it would be much easier to advance and retreat.

"Okay, according to what you said, send a team of men and horses to send back those wounded who can move with Abaoji." After a pause, Yelu Shilu said again: "Send some more scout horses, scatter a hundred miles, closely monitor, and report back immediately if you find the Qin army." Well, send a letter to Tiemu Thorn again, let him quickly destroy Li Siyuan, and then take Li Siyuan's head to persuade him to surrender, if he doesn't surrender, he will attack the problem directly. ”

"Do you want Shi Yan to send a message to Li Keyong again, and let the Yanmen Army dispatch to help us contain Zhang Zimian and Liu Xun in Shuozhou?" Kogu only supplements.

"Okay, tell Li Keyong that if he doesn't send troops as agreed, then we will retreat to the outside of the Saiwai."

He let out a long sigh, "Let Erlang'er rest and recuperate, build another batch of equipment, and we will concentrate on attacking again." If we can't attack again, then we will retreat! "Yelu Shilu is still unwilling to evacuate at this time, perhaps, if he attacks again, he will be able to break through Yunzhou. Perhaps, Li Keyong will eventually send troops as promised.
