Chapter 222 The Distressed Emperor
"Guo Wei, Guo Wei, I have always respected you as a strong general. Don't you know how many soldiers I have? Every attack on a city requires at least three times the strength of the defenders. Now our army is far superior to yours. How dare you come to the city? Don't talk about defending the city, you can win battles outside the city without losing. Is this the military strategy of the Great Han Marshal?"

Guo Wei looked up at the time, looked into the distance again, and then said with a smile: "Three times the force? We will be there soon. Besides, the Khitan soldiers are good at attacking but not good at defending. How can we need three times the force to fight you? I think it will be doubled." Enough."

Just as he was speaking, two streams of dust suddenly rose from the distance, coming from the northwest and northeast respectively, and the chaotic sounds came from far and near.Immediately afterwards, two large armies appeared, and the three armies joined forces, far outnumbering Yelu Deguang's Liao army.

"Hexi Jiedu envoy Zhebu Jiashi brought 15 troops to see Marshal Guo."

"Hedong Jiedu sent Zhang Ying to bring 15 people to see Marshal Guo."

Guo Wei deliberately asked loudly: "What happened to the army of Khitan dogs?"

Zhebu Jiashi said: "To wipe out the Khitans and attack 10 troops in Hexi, the Khitan army is vulnerable."

Zhang Ying said: "Total annihilation of the 10 Khitan troops attacking Hedong. The Khitan army is not worth mentioning."

"Hahahaha, I thought the Khitan army was so great, it's nothing more than that." Guo Wei said, "This commander went to Cangzhou on urgent matters, and after recapturing Cangzhou, he transferred to Kaifeng. Unexpectedly, this Khitan dog was in Kaifeng. Let’s talk about the emperor. Look at his dog-like appearance, he is not the emperor even in the dragon robe. Now that the army is alone, there is no way out, and there is no way back. I want to see how this dog emperor will die.”

Yeluzhen and Yelu Deguang's heads were already sweating, and the continuous victory made them paralyzed. Because Yeluzhen shouldn't be so stupid, but he is a Khitan after all, the victory made him a little swollen, and he encountered many difficult problems The thing is that Yeluzhen threw soldiers and took the city gate, so Yelude rewarded him again and again, and Yeluzhen also thought that the Han army was worthless.Relying on his peerless miraculous skills, Yelu really didn't pay attention to the big Han soldiers.

But if you think about it carefully, isn't it exactly the same as Zong Xin's plan now?
Yeluzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Zongxin... sooner or later I will tear him into pieces. Your Majesty, just now I received a letter from my second brother, Feiying, that the Wang Clan, Song Clan and Zhao Clan joined forces to attack Cangzhou. After being captured, Fu Yanqing was rescued, immediately set up the five-shaped formation, and sent people to recapture the upper gate, now the five-shaped formation is activated again, and all three major gates are stationed in Cangzhou, our army can't attack Cangzhou for the time being, so there is no delay."

"How could this be? How could this be?" Yelu Deguang shouted, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Hahahaha, look at the madness of this Khitan dog. I don't understand, are the Khitan people really so stupid?" Guo Wei laughed and said, "Back then, Master Zongxin had already stated the overall plan, knowing that it was a trap. Do you think it’s stupid for the dog to slip into the dog’s harness?”

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city laughed at the same time, laughing until Yelude was terrified.There are less than 20 troops in the city, and some of them are captured prisoners.It stands to reason that this number is enough to dominate the world, but why did it happen that the three armies of the Central Plains met?How on earth did they annihilate the left and right armies?

"King Shenwu, with their strength, how could they annihilate the left and right wings?"

Yeluzhen said: "They did not annihilate our two armies, but captured Cangzhou first. Once Cangzhou was destroyed, there was no backup and supplies. Our army can only support war by fighting, but it is not a long-term solution. And they were attacked by a very strange team Yes, the second younger brother later found out that it was Lei Hong, Emperor Ye, who was fighting. They lost to Lei Hong, the Emperor Ye, so they quickly retreated from other roads to Youyun Sixteen States. Now there are nearly 15 troops stationed under the city of Cangzhou, but But he couldn't attack for a long time. The second brother's art of war is not as good as your Majesty's, after the five-shaped formation was modified by Fu Yanqing, it is difficult to break it now."

"If I knew it earlier, I would have killed him first."

"It's useless to kill. Fu Yanqing's life or death is irrelevant. The key is that the three major valves have a total of 30 troops, and there are [-] Leihong soldiers. That is also a trump card. No matter how strong our army is, we can't break through Cangzhou."

It's over, there is really no way to go, no way to retreat, the lonely army goes deep, and there is a dead end.

Yelu Deguang said: "King Shenwu, lead 5 people to break out of the siege. As long as you escape from Kaifeng alone, go to Cangzhou to command the siege immediately. Now the only person I can trust is you, maybe only you can take Cangzhou. As long as the gate of Cangzhou is opened for Khitan again, our army will not lose to the Han army."

"Your Majesty, Xiao Wang will never leave His Majesty. If there is danger, Xiao Wang can escort His Majesty back to the Daliao Palace with his peerless cultivation."

Yelu Deguang shook his head: "I can't go. I personally brought 30 troops to the south. If all 30 of them die in the Central Plains, but I go back to be the emperor, I don't have the face. I live and die with the army. I am going to stick to Kaifeng until you capture Cangzhou or there may be a way out."

Only now did Yelu Deguang know that he was dazzled by the victory, and now he is sober and knows what he should do.Now we can't go out of the city to meet the enemy, let alone just walk away, leaving these 20 Khitan soldiers waiting to die.

"Little Wang alone is enough, no one can stop me wherever I want to go." Yeluzhen didn't force it, because he knew it was his dignity as an emperor.It was precisely because of this that Chu Xiangyu Wujiang kissed himself at the beginning, all the troops he brought out died, he had no face to escape alone, and swaggered back to be the emperor.

Although Yeluzhen wanted to stay by Yelu Deguang's side to protect him, but now that the situation is gone, he can't keep him by his side.It's better to do some serious business. As long as Cangzhou can be captured, everything will turn around.The Liao army can be allowed to escape from the North Road. As long as the Xu army arrives, the frontal conflict may not necessarily lose.

Yelvzhen did not dare to waste time and immediately rushed to the south gate and mounted his mount, the golden lynx. The golden lynx was the mount that Yelvzhen got with great difficulty. For this mount, Yelvzhen even fought with the golden lynx in the forest. After confronting back and forth for half a year, I finally completely conquered this beast and surrendered sincerely.The bright golden fur is as invulnerable as golden armor, and the sharp teeth and claws can bite through any armor or even a sword.The body is huge, but the four claws are stubby and powerful.

Lynx belongs to the cat family and is not good at running for a long time, but is better at short bursts.But this golden lynx is different, it can run continuously for several days, but its legs are a little shorter. Although its running speed is faster than a horse, it is still slightly slower than Zongxin's warg.

Yeluzhen ordered people to open the south gate, bypass the three armies and head north.Guo Wei's three-way army deliberately blocked the north gate of Kaifeng, so that Yelu Deguang had no way to escape.

The Khitan cavalry is very fast. If this group of cavalry can escape northward and let a group of cavalry defend and fight to the death every once in a while, maybe they can fight and retreat in this way, and it is not certain that they can escape back to the Khitan.In order to eliminate this possibility, the army came to the north gate first.They also sent hundreds of scouts to hide in the west, south, and east gates. If anyone wants to break out, report immediately.

Guo Wei didn't talk too much nonsense with Yelu Deguang, and directly sent troops to attack the city.

The four 10,000+ armies did not attack the city at the same time, but changed batches to attack the city without stopping the offensive.Regardless of casualties, regardless of sacrifices, Kaifeng must be captured as soon as possible in order to completely eradicate Yelu Deguang's serious trouble.

Yeluzhen didn't care about the consumption of his true energy, he insisted on running back to the north of Cangzhou to join the army.Even a monster like the golden lynx lost its strength and fell when it reached the north of Cangzhou after running for days.

Yeluzhen also immediately sent troops to attack the city, but Cangzhou had a five-shaped formation to defend the city, and there were all the troops of the three major factions. Yeluzhen's troops were completely insufficient to capture Cangzhou at this time.So Yeluzhen reported the matter to the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom and asked her to send troops to rescue him.But instead of sending troops, Empress Dowager Xiao ordered the withdrawal of troops, which made Yelu really helpless.

At the same time, Guo Wei's offensive continued, but Yelvzhen insisted on holding on for three months.If it were someone else, it would have fallen already, but Yelu Deguang is not an ordinary person, and after he woke up, he immediately organized defense and delayed the time to avoid confronting the army. I hope Yelu can really break through Cangzhou and bring troops to rescue.

But in the end, Yelu Deguang failed to wait for Yeluzhen's reinforcements and defeated Kaifeng.

After Guo Wei entered the city, he searched everywhere and dug Kaifeng three feet, but he did not find Yelu Deguang. He did not know where he escaped from.

..............................

At this time, Yelu Deguang led a thousand warriors from the guards to escape from the east gate of Kaifeng, escaped by boat from the river at night, and went all the way east along the river.At this time, it was the turn of spring and summer, thunderstorms continued, and the water flow was extremely fast, and there was a glimmer of life in the river.Moreover, Yelu Deguang laid the groundwork and asked a person to wear his own clothes to command the battle on the city wall. Guo Wei's character would never notice that this was a fake Yelu Deguang, so he was deceived like this.

After traveling for three days, the river mouth was suddenly blocked.The river is full of driftwood, which cannot be cleaned at all.The driftwood was also stuck by something, blocking all the branches, broken stones upstream, and Yelu Deguang's boat could not move forward.

Yelude just ordered to go to the shore, but he didn't know where he came, so he led the people to the deep mountain.Such a large troop would be easily spotted if they took the main road, so Yelu Deguang had no choice but to go deep into the mountains.At this time, Yelu De only wanted to go to the seaside, and there might be a chance of returning to Khitan by sea.

After entering the mountain, it didn't take long to come to a very narrow valley.Yelu Deguang didn't think too much, and asked people to go east quickly. After most of them entered the valley, they suddenly heard a powerful voice.

"Congratulations to Emperor Yelu Deguang of the Khitan, Master Zong Xin sends you greetings on my behalf."

"Who is it?" Yelu Deguang looked up, and there was a group of people hiding above the valley. The leader was a white-robed scholar with a folding fan in his hand, staring at himself in the valley with a slight sneer.
