"Lord, you must not pursue me any longer.
The Southern Barbarians are cunning, and this person is acting blindly.
Who knows what dangers are waiting for us in front of us.
In this humble opinion, we should quickly return to the camp and make further calculations."
When a centurion saw that Yeluhan wanted to pursue him again, he hurriedly stepped out to stop him.
Yeluhan was already furious at this time, and his anger went straight to the top door.
He could not listen to the advice.
In anger, he slashed with the long knife in his hand, cut off the centurion's head, and shouted: "This is the centurion's head."
If you dare to question the order, since you don’t want to live anymore, then I will grant you permission, all my sons, listen up, anyone who questions again will end up like this.”
When the remaining nearly five hundred Khitan cavalry saw Yeluhan killing a centurion like a chicken, they were all frightened and trembled, and no one dared to think about retreating.
"Continue to pursue" Yeluhan slapped the horse's butt with his long knife and shouted.
The horse carried him forward and chased him into the night.
The nearly 500 Khitan cavalry behind him had to bravely chase after him. .
Perhaps it was because the Tang army had spent a lot of energy on their horses during the surprise attack.
Yeluhan led nearly 500 Khitan cavalry in pursuit and caught up with the second group of Tang army in less than half an hour.
The distance between the two sides was only more than a mile.
Yeluhan and some Khitan cavalry at the front started shooting with bows and arrows.
However, at this moment, a Tang army suddenly came out from the side and instantly overwhelmed the second half of the Khitan soldiers.
Yeluhan, who was chasing in front, heard the shouts of killing and the sound of swords and guns coming from behind, and immediately reined in his horse.
Stopped and yelled: "Asshole, damn Southern Barbarian, you actually pull this trick again" "Lord Captain, what should we do now?"
a cavalryman next to him asked anxiously.
Yeluhan shouted: "Nonsense, of course we should turn around and kill those Tang troops who made a surprise attack.
Come with me!"
"Kill" Yeluhan took the two to three hundred Khitan cavalry in front and turned around to fight back.
But as soon as he and his men arrived, the Tang army that had made a surprise attack had already ran away for a mile, leaving a large number of corpses on the ground.
These were all His Khitan cavalry.
"Chasing" Yeluhan was so angry that he fainted, and he led two to three hundred people to chase the Tang army who was attacking.
But at this moment, they saw that the Tang army, which was still being chased in embarrassment, suddenly turned around and came back to fight.
This frightened the Khitan cavalry behind them.
They wanted to turn around and fight, but there was no order from Yeluhan.
While they were still hesitating, the second group of troops caught up with the rear of the remaining Khitans.
The panicked Khitan cavalry were chopped off their horses one after another, and their bodies quickly fell to the ground.
The ownerless horses took advantage of the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
The chrysanthemum was stabbed again, which made Yeluhan horrified and panicked.
He immediately reined in his horse and prepared to turn around.
However, the Tang army that had been escaping just now turned around and attacked him and the remaining less than 200 Khitan cavalry. come over.
A whole thousand cavalry were attacked one after another by the Tang army's cavalry and were gradually eaten away.
After repeated attacks, less than one-fifth of them were left.
This made Yeluhan, who was originally angry and full of courage, also Feeling frightened in his heart, he no longer had the courage to continue fighting with the Tang army.
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, follow me."
Yeluhan shouted several times and started running wildly in the direction of pursuit.
The remaining Khitan cavalry saw that Yeluhan was taking the lead in escaping.
They dared not stay, so they all hit their horses and fled.
But Tang Jun would not let them escape so easily.
Go, the two Tang armies joined forces to pursue the fleeing Khitan cavalry.

Each of them had two or three horses.
Although they went through several consecutive battles and gallops, their maneuvering speed was still not affected, and they escaped in The Khitan cavalry behind them were quickly overtaken and killed.
Xuan Wu vaguely saw a general wearing a white wolfskin cloak at the front of the Khitan deserters.
This man was tall and must be the commander of the Khitan troops.
How could he let go of this opportunity?
He immediately took out his big bow and drew a bow.
A sharp arrow shot at Yeluhan's back.
With a "whoosh" sound, the sharp arrow hit Yeluhan's vest.
Yeluhan let out a muffled grunt, but he still gritted his teeth and hit the horse: "Drive, drive" Yeluhan and others fled all the way but were killed along the way.
The number of people increased, and after running for less than an hour, only Yeluhan and a dozen personal guards were left.
At this time, another group of people suddenly rushed out from the front and blocked the front.
Yeluhan, who was seriously injured, had to rein in his horse and stop.
Together with the dozen personal guards behind him, they were also blocked from the front and back, making it impossible to escape.
"shoot arrows" Thinking that he was going to die anyway, he might as well rush over.
Yeluhan was about to rush over with his horse, but the Tang army in front actually opened his bow and fired arrows, shooting several waves of arrows at him.
Although Yeluhan tried his best to block, his chest was still hit by Several arrows were shot, and the dozen personal guards behind him were all shot into hedgehogs.
The most unlucky thing is the war horses.
The war horses of Yelu Han and others can survive, but the Tang army's all indistinguishable rooms, together with the war horses of Yelu Han and others, are also in bad luck.
It was quiet in the night, and the strong smell of blood exuded in the breeze.
Each of the Eighteen Tornado riders put away their weapons. " "promise" Battles with a scale of less than 2,000 people no longer attract Zhao Ziliang's interest.
Whenever the number of Khitan tribesmen rushing to the Khitan Yazhang from the east is less than 2,000, Zhao Ziliang will be given the command of Gao Xiuyan, while battles with less than 1,000 people will be handed over to Gao Xiuyan.
Give Guo Ziyi the command.
Guo Ziyi's understanding of cavalry disappointed Zhao Ziliang.
After some observation, Zhao Ziliang found that Guo Ziyi was better at regular battle formations and strategies, but was lacking in tactics and the use of surprise troops.
Guo Ziyi himself also discovered that he was lacking in this aspect.
Because of his shortcomings, he studied hard and tried to make up for it, but made little progress.
However, Guo Ziyi was not discouraged and continued to study hard.
This time, under Zhao Ziliang's order, Guo Ziyi led a thousand cavalry to ambush a Khitan army with less than 800 people.
The ambush work went well, and the time when Guo Ziyi ordered the assault was just right.
However, after the contact between the two sides, Guo Ziyi was commanding the cavalry.
Guo Ziyi's command on the battlefield was far behind.
A battle without any suspense ended up being a storming attack by Guo Ziyi, with the loss of nearly 400 people.
Guo Ziyi felt ashamed when she faced Zhao Ziliang, "Shuai, the students are ashamed.
A good ambush turned into a violent attack.
The students deserve to die.
Please punish me, Shuai."
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a while and sighed: "One person cannot be omnipotent.
Ziyi, cavalry is not what you are good at.
This matter is due to my general's inconsideration.
I cannot blame you.
Your strengths lie in strategy and frontal combat, and the use of surprise troops."
Lack of courage is caused by your personality.
Anyone who has a calm personality and thoughtful thinking No one is willing to take risks.
If you become a general in the future, you must use your strengths and avoid weaknesses.
You can hand over your cavalry to generals who are proficient in cavalry use.

They only hand over tasks and do not interfere with actual command.
Only in this way can the combat effectiveness of the cavalry be unleashed.
In addition, if you are not sure, never take risks, you are not a risk-taker."
Guo Ziyi bowed and said, "Thank you so much for your advice.
The students will keep it in mind."
These days, Zhao Ziliang also discovered a weakness in Guo Ziyi's character, which is that he is too kind to others.
If Guo Ziyi was an ordinary civilian, of course he would have a very good character and would win the favor and friendship of his neighbors, but as a general, he would be too kind.
He can gain the support of some soldiers and generals, but once something happens, his deterrence and prestige are not enough, and others will not be afraid of him.
Just like the Battle of Xiangzhou two years after the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the nine military governors gathered 200,000 troops to fight against Shi Siming in the north of Anyang.
Among the nine military governors of the Tang army, the most senior and prestige were Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, but the two They were all important ministers that the emperor relied on.
Emperor Suzong could not appoint anyone as the commander-in-chief.
He only appointed the eunuch Yu.
Chao En was the observation envoy.
At that time, there were thunderstorms and violent storms.
Due to the lack of unified command, the Tang army collapsed first.
Guo Ziyi was the oldest among the nine military governors at that time, and his qualifications were higher than other military governors.
He was the military envoy of Shuofang for many years, although he was not appointed as the military envoy of Shuofang until the Anshi Rebellion. , but his qualifications in the military were higher than those of other military governors.
Even Li Guangbi was slightly inferior to him in this regard.
Under the circumstances, he tried to unite the forces of the nine military governors.
He formed a unified command so that the 200,000-strong army would not collapse later, but no one in the other eight Jiedushi listened to him.
After the army collapsed, Yu Chaoen put the blame on Guo Ziyi in order to avoid taking responsibility for himself.
Why didn't Yu Chaoen put the blame on Li Guangbi?
It can also be seen from this point that even Yu Chaoen thought Guo Ziyi was the leader of the nine-year-old army at that time.
The Great Jiedushi had the highest prestige and seniority, but he did not have the ability to unite the Tang army.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said: "Ziyi, please stay with me.
After this battle is over, you will return to serve in the Datong Army."
"No" Guo Ziyi was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
He knew that not everyone had the opportunity to learn how to lead an army under Zhao Ziliang.
When he was in Chang'an, many sons of aristocratic families and generals wanted to learn how to lead an army under Zhao Ziliang, but Zhao Ziliang refused to agree to any of them.
However, there are many princes and nobles among those people.
Being able to follow Zhao Ziliang, Guo Ziyi knew that he would have the opportunity to learn the essence of Zhao Ziliang's practical application of the art of war.
He had only been studying on paper in the past, but in the end it was just talking about war on paper.
Talking about war on paper is extremely dangerous if it is not supported by actual combat experience.
Everyone's character determines that person's achievements in life to a large extent.
Although Guo Ziyi's character has flaws, his character is liked by the emperors.
The emperor will feel more at ease when using such veterans.
This is also The reason why Suzong and Daizong always put military power in his hands.
Zhao Ziliang decided to teach Guo Ziyi in accordance with his aptitude.
Of course Guo Ziyi was happy.
Although others might be embarrassed or extremely disdainful to let a man twice his age teach the art of war and battle formations, Guo Ziyi was different.
He was very open-minded.
When I asked Zhao Ziliang for advice, Zhao Ziliang also told me everything he knew
