Dielid looked at the dense artillery fire of the Song army in front, and the Khitan army could not rush over and their eyes turned red. After an hour of war, Nerugu's vanguard was almost wiped out. The Khitan army behind him was timid and dared not forcefully attack.

At this moment, a fast horse came quickly. The army saw that it was an imperial horse, and no one dared to intercept it until Dilide.

The knight turned over and dismounted and crossed his hands to Dielid, "There is an order that the Song army has occupied Wuqing and cut off the food and grass of the army. The Cangzhou army has retreated north, and the general immediately led his subordinates and retreated north!"

After saying that, he handed over the imperial edict, and went on his horse as if flying.

Dilid looked at the battle ahead and the imperial edict. He felt dizzy for a moment. At this time, he couldn't even defend, so where could he retreat? The Song cavalry on both wings were eyeing him. Once the Khitan army retreated, it would inevitably follow him. When the cavalry lined up to fight, it was not as good as infantry. It was the best choice to pursue the remaining troops.

After thinking about it, Dili De said: "The army has retreated, and for the sake of the present, we must retreat immediately. Otherwise, we will be surrounded by the Song army and there will be no more life. The troops of the Mingta are the troops, and we will be cut off for the entire army and prepare to retreat!"

Liang's slave on the side whispered: "We retreat. What should we do if the Nerugu army on the front line is now? If they retreat, the entire army must collapse. At that time, I am afraid that no one can leave."

Dilide had no expression on his face: "I ordered Nelugu to fight to the death with the enemy! Before he received the military order, he dared to retreat and set himself in front of the formation!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the military camp. Several generals looked at each other in front of him, but for a moment they didn't know what to say. It was not easy for a 50,000 army to retreat. The battlefield is now in chaos and there is no considerable price. How can the Khitan leave?

Looking at Nerugu who was still commanding the battle ahead, several generals sighed. Dielid's attitude was very clear. Nerugu had been given up. How much time could he delay was the time for the Khitan army to prepare.

Shisanlang, who was standing on the watchtower, looked at the Khitan camp and suddenly said, "No, they are rectifying their troops. It seems that they are going to escape!"

After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to immediately chase after him if the Khitan retreated.

In Qianning Military City, Ma Huaide woke up early in the morning and rubbed his forehead. After receiving military orders in the past few days, he led his subordinates to attack the Khitan army and had been fighting for three days. The Song army obviously had the upper hand, and the Khitan gradually became less supportive. However, the Song army did not cooperate well and could not defeat the Khitan for a while.

After commanding the war for several consecutive days, Ma Huaide did not rest and couldn't sleep well, and he had a headache. He heard that Zhuozhou had been occupied in the north, and the army began to besiege Xijin Prefecture, so he had to work harder here.

At this moment, the personal soldiers quickly stepped in and said, "Taiwei, the Khitan army retreated overnight!"

Ma Huaide was stunned and suddenly straightened his waist: "How did you evacuate? Why is there no news? After fighting for nearly a month, how can they easily evacuate? Order the front-line master to enter the city! Whoever lets go Khitans be punished!"

The personal soldiers said, "Taiwei, no wonder the division leaders. The Khitans retreated overnight and the military camp was not taken away. Who can know?"

Ma Huaide said: "Don't take the military camp? You are leaving so urgently? Could it be that the Khitans have received news that Youzhou in the north has been attacked?"

After saying that, he stood up and thought for a while, "I ordered all the division leaders outside the city to enter the city, and there was also Taiwei Li to go to the Shuaisi. The Khitans retreated, and we will chase them! After fighting these days, it is not that easy for them to leave!"

The personal soldiers promised and turned around and went out.

Ma Huaide put on his public uniform and washed up. He arrived at the official hall. He stood alone in front of the map, looking at the map, thinking about the war. There were two cities north of the Ganning army, one Diaotai Village and the other Xin'an Army. There were not many soldiers in these two cities and they were unable to stop the enemy. If the Khitan was determined to leave, it would not be difficult to withdraw from the territory. However, where would he go if he retreated?

The Khitan's food and grass were in Wuqing, and to the north were hundreds of thousands of troops of the Song army, and they were sieging towards the Xijin Prefecture. If the Xijin Prefecture insisted on, the Khitan army would rescue him from behind and respond to the inside and outside, but the result would be difficult to say very much.

For a long time, Li Weixian and several masters entered the official hall and greeted Ma Huaide.

He ordered everyone to sit down, and Ma Huaide said: "The Khitan army suddenly retreated north last night, and even the barracks were left there. In this season, there are no barracks, how can they rest at night? It seems that they are leaving very urgent. I guess, the Khitans should have known the situation of the war in Youzhou in the north. They knew that it was not good, so they pulled the army back to defense. The Khitans retreated, and we should chase them closely and prevent them from retreating easily."

Xie Chi said: "What the Taiwei said is that our army is nearly 100,000. If the Khitans retreat easily, the Privy Council will definitely not allow it. Fortunately, the Khitans only left for a night and we can still catch up."

Li Weixian said: "We must first find out where the Khitans are heading and why they retreat so that they can catch up. There are hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops in Cangzhou. If one negligent person is surrounded by them, it will be bad."

Ma Huaide said: "What are you afraid of those things now? The 100,000 troops of Liu Huan and Wu Song in the south are coming north. If the Khitan army dares to surround us, they will join forces with them to fight the Khitans. At this time, the most important thing is to prevent the Khitans from running away! After fighting for so long, isn't it just to keep the Khitans and annihilate them all here?"

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Ma Huaide said: "You are ready immediately. If you have news, chase it immediately! I will send a scout here to see where the Khitan retreats. I will also go and check it out clearly."

All the generals made promises and left.

Before Ma Huaide arrived at the case, he wrote a document and ordered people to send it to Xiongzhou. The Khitan army had retreated and he led his troops to pursue it. When he reported to the Khitan. When he received the news that Youzhou was attacked, the army would inevitably retreat to the territory. At this time, the news changed three times a day, and communication was inconvenient, so the front-line generals had to make a decision alone. The war had already begun and the Shuaishen could not control everything.

Outside the Diaotai Village, Gu Ni bit a rabbit leg while drinking. He took a few sips, put down the rabbit leg, and looked at the distance in a daze.

Tuguci said: "This time we retreated in a hurry, and even the barracks were left in the Song Dynasty. There was little food and grass, so we couldn't walk far away. If the Song army came to chase us, we couldn't get rid of them, it would be a good idea. The Song Dynasty was still firm and clear, and we couldn't find a grain of food, but what should we do?"

Gu Niu said: "It is precisely because of this that we have to step back. Wu Qing was occupied, and all the food and grass collected were there. If it cannot be recovered, not only us, but even the hundreds of thousands of troops of the emperor had no food to eat. The army has already retreated and agreed with us to meet in Wu Qing to attack the city together. Zhi Niang thief, the city guarded by the Song army is so difficult to attack, and Wu Qing will die!"

After saying that, he felt upset and took a big sip of wine. The Song army has not sent troops for the past two months, but unexpectedly, when the troops are sent, they are just such a large scale and directly attacking the Xijin Mansion. The Khitan is now in chaos.

Yelu Hongji knew that the Song army was strong and his retreat had many risks. Some people also reminded him to pay attention to the fact that if the Song army suddenly attacked Youzhou, the Khitan army's retreat would be cut off. But he had no choice. He had just destroyed Chongyuan and needed a victory to integrate the inside. But he did not expect that the Song army's attack would be so fierce.

Three days after Wu Qing fell, Yelu Hongji received the news. It took another two days to confirm the correctness of the news and inquire about the deployment of the Song army. When the news was confirmed, it was too late.

Zhuozhou and Yizhou were both lost, and 200,000 Song troops besieged Xijin Prefecture. Tens of thousands of Song troops marched quickly and headed towards Pingzhou. The Khitan's retreat was completely blocked and there was no way to retreat. The 100,000 Song troops in the south suddenly attacked and came to Lunzhou. Yelu Hongji suddenly discovered that his 400,000 army was completely surrounded by the Song army.
