Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Liangzi of Gaoliang River
Tong Yu frowned, and said hesitantly: "Is this possible? Such a big event, so far, the North Kingdom has not heard a little bit of news?"
Yang Haodao: "From the reactions of the Liao people so far, I can only make this speculation. As for the truth, perhaps it is just that the Northern Dynasty thinks that the impact of the change of dynasty on the border war situation is not so great and it is unknown, but... since it is possible, it might as well Give it a try."
He didn't dare to believe his own judgment, so he turned to Li Jilong and asked, "How is the current situation in Liao Kingdom?"
Li Jilong said: "These days, I have fought dozens of battles with the Liao people. I have figured out their situation. From what I know now, the main force of the Liao army in front of Dingzhou should be around 200,000. The commander is Brother Yeluxiu, judging from the banners displayed by the other side during the previous battles, Han Kuangsi, Xiao Qian, Yeluhende, Xiao Talin and others are leading the army..."
Yang Hao let out a "huh" and asked again: "What's the situation in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom?"
Li Jilong was slightly surprised, and said in his heart: "I am a border guard, and I have exhausted my mind to find out the general situation of the enemy army on the opposite side in such a short period of time. How do I know what is going on in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom? "
Although he was surprised in his heart, he replied honestly: "After the minister withdrew his troops, he stationed at the border, divided his troops and dispatched generals to resist the invading enemy, and had no time to withdraw from others. The situation in Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom is really unknown."
Yang Hao smiled slightly and said, "You don't know, but I do know that the empress dowager and emperor of the Liao Kingdom have come to Youzhou in person and are sitting in Nanjing to supervise the battle for Brother Yeluxiu."
Li Jilong was taken aback: "In this way, this time the Northern Dynasty really didn't just want to fight back. They wanted to win a big victory in Youzhou, and they wanted to fight with famous teachers. I estimate that after the heavy snow falls, the Northern Dynasty The offensive will slow down, and since Emperor Liao personally sits in Nanjing, it seems that it will be difficult to do well."
Yang Hao nodded his head, he already had an accurate score in his mind.Li Jilong didn't know that Empress Dowager Xiao had arrived in Youzhou, so it's not impossible that Brother Yeluxiu didn't know that Zhao Yuanzuo, who had just ascended the throne, abdicated the throne, and then Yang Hao went straight to the border without stopping.
Calculating carefully, from the period when Empress Dowager Xiao was stationed in Youzhou to Zhao Yuanzuo's Zen throne, as more and more troops from the Liao Kingdom moved southward, the large number of soldiers and horses retreated by the Song Kingdom and the original garrisons at the border, plus the rear The continuously reinforced troops guarded the long border from Waqiao Pass to Yanmen Pass from east to west. The Song army was like facing a big enemy, and the pass was heavily guarded, pedestrians were prevented, and birds were difficult to cross.
Moreover, there are no deep mountains and old forests like Hexi Longyou on this frontier defense line. In the environment like the Northwest, secret agents can climb mountains and ridges to avoid passes. On this front, there are only a few lines that rely on natural and artificial expansion. There are continuous barracks along the river, all boats and rafts are under control, bridges and roads are all blocked, and there are soldiers and civilians patrolling along the river day and night. It is not easy for Liao's spies to report news.
Yang Hao only considered that it would be extremely difficult for the spies of the Song and Liao countries to ventilate information under such circumstances, which may result in poor information and a lag in intelligence, but he did not expect that in that era, there was no ruler who valued intelligence work as much as he did , He spared no expense to establish a huge intelligence agency with tentacles all over the world, especially because of the communication conditions at that time, he pioneered the use of communication tools such as carrier pigeons and other communication tools that were difficult to reach to serve a regime. This is unprecedented, and only In the Ming Dynasty, the famous Jinyiwei appeared, and its intelligence gathering ability was comparable.
At that time, the intelligence work of the Liao and Song Dynasties was underdeveloped. The Song State only established an Imperial City Division. After Hao suffered a few losses due to information asymmetry, he began to strengthen intelligence collection on the Western Front.The Liao State did even worse in this respect. The Liao State did not have a special spy agency at all. Most of the spies they sent to the Song State were privately entrusted by generals and high-ranking officials, with a specific purpose in mind.
After a long period of operation, they will first have a decent identity in Song State, and the mission they undertake is relatively simple, either to instigate a general or official of Song State, or to use the cover of identity to secretly transport All kinds of materials urgently needed by the Liao Kingdom are even high-end consumer goods used by the rich and powerful, or it is the collection of long-term intelligence data on military, economic, and political aspects.They don't have the ability to deliver in a timely and quick manner, and they have never carried out training and construction in this area. The earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom really doesn't know it yet.
It would be difficult for people to understand this situation in the era when intelligence warfare was the first to be fought in later generations, but it was normal at the time.Zhang Yichao rose up, and the Guiyi Army from Dunhuang went all the way eastward, conquering the eleven prefectures in Hexi. The Tubo Kingdom collapsed, and the Guiyi Army fought all the way to the vicinity of Xiazhou. You know, it wasn't until Zhang Yichao sent an envoy to Chang'an two years later that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was surprised when he heard the news.
There is also the country of Khotan, which regards Tang as Zhengshuo and regards itself as a vassal of Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has been subjugated for more than 50 years. , I still think that the Central Plains is the world of Li and Tang. From these two incidents, it can be seen how blocked the news flow was and how bad the intelligence collection was at that time. worse.
The Liao State did have eyeliners in the Song State, but these eyeliners were not trained high-quality spies. They only knew to carry out activities according to the mission assigned before they were dispatched. What is the close relationship between the war situation? Second, even if they realize it, they will not be able to pass it on to the northern country in time. The battle at the border is tight, and the trails that can be used for traffic and the guards at the pass that have been well established are all useless at this time.
Go to sea or go around to the west of Yanmen Pass, and return to Liao Kingdom from the sparsely populated Xixia territory?There is no response, the geography is not clear, and the interrogation of pedestrians in various states and counties is stricter than usual. It is not easy in such an agricultural society. When they go back from there and find the person in charge to report the news, they don’t know that it will be the year of the monkey, so... Brother Yeluxiu still thinks that Zhao Yuanzuo is the emperor, and he doesn't know about the earth-shattering changes in the Central Plains.
"In the battle of Gaoliang River, we fell into Brother Yeluxiu's plan. With this plan alone, we were completely defeated. If my prediction is not bad, we can also make a statement now. Frustrate! Use the way of the other, and return it to the other!" Yang Hao made a judgment.
Yang Jiye thought for a while and said: "What the officials said is true, but... this is our guess after all. This plan cannot be used, but it cannot be completely relied on. We must always be prepared. If it proves that the Northern Dynasty already knew our country If you don’t fall into the trap of movement or movement, you have to change course immediately and fight in a normal manner.”
Yang Hao nodded and said, "It should be so."
He looked around, smiled lightly, and said, "Okay, just follow this line of thinking, and the specific actions will be decided by the three of you, General Pan, General Yang, and General Li. I only have one request, hurry up, or change later! "
Just kidding, there is Pan Mei and Yang Jiye by my side, plus Li Jilong, the god of war in the younger generation. Of course, Li Jilong has just made his debut, and there is not enough battle experience. Any outstanding general, including Liao Over there, brother Yeluxiu, who is in the limelight, may not be as outstanding as them in history if they don't have enough battlefield experience, but at least they have begun to show their prominence at the moment, and there are two generals Pan Yang in charge. Overall, I am not afraid that Li Jilong will make any rash decisions. That being the case, what kind of tactics would need him, the emperor, to show his cowardice? If he dictated everything, the courtiers would not be able to refute him, or he would become the second Zhao Guangyi.There is a specialization in the art industry, since there are talents under his command, it is better to leave this matter to professionals. If they can't win, it will be free for them to come forward.Others are suspicious of people and don't use them, but Yang Hao has already come to a conclusion about their capabilities, so of course he wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Pan Mei and Li Jilong didn't know his intentions. Seeing the trust of the officials, they couldn't help but feel grateful. There was no reason not to devote themselves to it. Soon, under the joint planning of these three wise generals, an action plan was hotly released. At this time, sporadic snow was already floating outside the tent... Scattered snowflakes, like crumbs of flying qiong, early in the morning, 80,000 cavalry carefully selected by brother Yeluxiu crossed the Tang River and formed a formation outside Dingzhou City, shouting and shouting. up. It was not the director of the Liao Army who attacked the fortifications. In the first few years of the Battle of Yinzhou, they learned for the first time the great role of the excellent siege equipment of the Han people from the scene of Zheziyu and Zhewei attacking the city, and they also learned some siege equipment However, they couldn't make such exquisite siege equipment as Yang Hao used. This time, Zhao Guangyi retreated too quickly, and a large number of siege equipment manufactured were thrown under the city of Youzhou, and there was no time to destroy them.The Liao army quickly invaded the south, and after being blocked at the border, they suddenly remembered the usefulness of these siege equipment abandoned by Zhao Guangyi, and immediately transported them from the rear. At the beginning, Zhao Guangyi quickly approached the city of Youzhou, obtained local materials, and rushed to build these siege equipment day and night while attacking the city and fighting for reinforcements. Now he wants to transport these huge and assembled siege equipment. It's an easy task, those huge monsters are still on the way, but more than 200,000 troops are shut down, which consumes a lot of rice and food, so we can't just wait, Brother Yeluxiu calls for formation every day before the gate, and never stops. If the Song army puts up the exemption card every time it is called, then the morale of the Song army after the new defeat will be even lower. When the Liao army has transported a large number of siege equipment, one can imagine how much fighting spirit the Song army has left.Brother Yeluxiu believed that Li Jilong was a smart man. When the army was defeated and even the emperor fled without a trace, Li Jilong could command the retreat calmly and minimize the losses. Brother Yeluxiu believed that this was a formidable enemy , the powerful enemy will hit him until he loses his temper, making him not even have the courage to fight. And Li Jilong also guessed some of his intentions. He was not just retreating and defending. He would organize some small battles from time to time. The tactics he adopted were still the best formations of the Song Army. It can be defended but cannot be attacked, but this kind of defense can at least improve morale than retreating in passive defense in the pass. Today, the wind is very strong, the banners are flying and roaring like thunder.The city of Dingzhou opened, and the Song army left the city slowly, but what is surprising is that the Song army who left the city did not set up the usual formations, but purgeed the team a little, and then took the initiative to attack the Liao army. Yeluxiu, who had been lazily sitting in the rear, suddenly stood up and looked towards the opposite side in astonishment. He saw that the Song army, with the elite Jingsai cavalry team as the vanguard, launched a fierce attack on the Liao army's position. The main force of nearly 10,000 people followed closely behind in a conical formation. This was not a feint, they were really desperate. "Finally...have you held back?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yeluxiu's mouth. Ahead, the arrows rained down, and the cavalry of the Song army fell off their horses one after another, but no one reined in to avoid dodging. Tian Min, the commander of the Jingsai army, took the lead, and used his big spear to deflect the flying arrows, and rushed straight into the enemy's formation.A hole was torn open in the front of the Liao army, and the Song army rushed in quickly, cutting through the waves and striving to expand the results of the battle. Brother Yeluxiu laughed loudly, and shouted: "Let the Song army come in, pass the order, the Pishi army and the Tielin army will surround the enemy with two wings, and cut off the enemy's rear. Since they dare to attack, I will leave them all here today." As he said that, the guards led his black horse, Yeluxiu got on the saddle, sat down calmly, took off the big gun from the victory hook, and pointed forward sharply, the gun surpassed thousands of troops and horses , as if stabbing directly at General Song, who was rushing to the forefront of the Song army, his legs hit the horse's legs, and Brother Yeluxiu jumped down from the gentle slope like a bolt of lightning, and rushed to the front. Li Jilong was also in the army. Tian Min, the commander of the Jingsai Army, led more than a thousand cavalry to charge forward, tearing apart the Liao army's line. Li Jilong led more than ten thousand infantry in the rear of the Liao army through the hole torn by the cavalry, and rushed into the Liao army. array heart. Li Jilong galloped his horse wildly, facing the Khitan iron cavalry rushing up like a tide, his eyes were as sharp as eagles, and the tiger guards in front, back, left, and left were also snarling, like tigers out of the cage, screaming and fighting hard. He greeted them all over the place, like a honeycomb stabbing the Liao cavalry that rushed forward. Arrows whistling in mid-air, Song and Liao soldiers fought hand to hand, blood for blood, the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.The Song army broke into the enemy's position and faced eight times the enemy without fear.Brother Yeluxiu was both surprised and delighted. What surprised Li Jilong was that he did not know what stimulated him, but he actually gave up the formation warfare that the Song Army was best at, and adopted this desperate style of fighting, and he was outnumbered.The good news is that his army is eight times stronger than the enemy's. As long as this main force is eaten up, the remaining Song army will never be able to defend Dingzhou. It's not that he didn't think of Li Jilong's deceitful strategy, but this thought was just a flash, and he threw it to the back of his mind.On the left of Dingzhou is Tang County, which has fallen into the hands of the Liao army, controlling Jiashan, the only valley here.The right wing of Dingzhou is Qizhou, and Qizhou is still under the control of the Song army, but Qizhou is still a hundred miles away from here, and there is a flat river in the middle, not to mention that if the Song army wanted to make a surprise attack, it would be discovered as early as ten miles away. Even if Song Jun came, so what?His 80,000 elite soldiers are all cavalry, and the initiative in the war is in his hands. He can fight when he wants, and walk when he wants. Song Jun relies on a pair of big feet, do you want to follow the horse's buttocks to eat dirt? Therefore, in this battle, Brother Yeluxiu fought recklessly. "Kill!" Brother Yeluxiu had just arrived in front of Song Jun when four sharp spears came at him. Brother Yeluxiu slammed the horse's belly, then suddenly accelerated, two spears stabbed in the air, and with a thrust of the spear in his hand, he pushed aside the first With three spears, with a swish of his left arm, he held the fourth spear firmly under his ribs, and then shouted loudly, stabbing his chest with the iron spear in his hand, and the sword and shield hand next to the spearman rushed to meet him, But Brother Yeluxiu was united with the horse, the spear was accurate and ruthless, and the spear pierced the shield. The sword and shield could not stand still, and it turned over on its back. With a splash of blood, the spearman fell into the dust. Li Jilong had a pistol and a knife in his hand, stabbing from a distance and slashing near, invincible. Suddenly he saw a general of the Liao army approaching. Li Jilong didn't know that he was Brother Yeluxiu, the great leader of the Liao Kingdom who had been famous for a long time, but from his majestic appearance. Li Jilong didn't stop, and immediately charged forward like an arrow, with a long spear flat and a treasured knife tightly clutched, rushing towards him like a god of killing. Along the way, I don't know how many Liao soldiers I met, all of them were picked off by him, or cut into two by shoulders and hips. There was almost no enemy, and even his guards were left behind. Li Jilong didn't say a word, he rushed to the front, his body was half up, like a tiger descending the mountain, he stabbed Yeluxiu between the eyebrows with a spear, and the cold air pierced his bones.Brother Yeluxiu greeted him with a gun: "Go!" "Crack!" With a sound, a head-on shot was thrown away. At this moment, Li Jilong burst into the air with a loud shout like a thunderbolt: "Kill!" The saber in his left hand was like a flash of lightning, and it struck Yeluxiu's neck. The sharp light of the saber was breathtaking, and the half-squatting, half-leaping posture, and the sparkling tiger eyes were especially frightening.Brother Yeluxiu didn't have time to return the spear to stab, his legs clamped the horse's legs, leaned out to one side, hit the spine of the knife with the end of the gun, and narrowly parried Li Jilong's knife, the sharp blade stuck to his The shoulder was chopped down, the shoulder guard was cut open, a piece of flesh was cut off from the shoulder, and blood dripped down. The two horses were in the wrong stirrups, Brother Yeluxiu reluctantly hung up the gun, quickly picked up the bow in his hand, and a feathered arrow was placed on the string. With a move of rhinoceros looking at the moon, the bowstring was fully drawn. Looking back, it was an arrow, which went straight to Li Jilong's back. , Li Jilong also paid attention to the movement behind him, if brother Yeluxiu made any movement, Li Jilong lifted the rein in time, and leaped forward, brother Yeluxiu flew past Li Jilong's armor with an arrow, and Li Jilong had completed the dial. The horse turned around and faced the enemy head-on. Brother Yeluxiu let out a hey voice, and shouted: "A certain Liao country is bigger than Yue Yeluxiu, who is the general of Song Dynasty, please report his name!" "A certain crown prince Shaobao, guard Ma Jun Du Yuhou, Dingzhou defender Li Jilong." Brother Yeluxiu's eyes lit up: "It turns out that it was you, and General Li abandoned the danger to attack. Could it be that he is at the end of his rope?" Li Jilong said: "General Yelu became famous in the first battle in Youzhou. He only saw his wisdom, but not his courage. Li wants to learn today!" Brother Yeluxiu sneered, and the two members will fight together again. The main force of the Liao army will surround the Song Army in the center, killing the sky and the earth. After about half an hour of the battle, the suspension bridge of Dingzhou City is lowered again, and the gate of the city is rumbling open , Teams of iron cavalry swarmed out, Brother Yeluxiu saw it in his busy schedule, and couldn't help being surprised. If the Song army had reinforcements, he didn't hesitate. Right now his troops are far superior to Li Jilong's troops, and he is a cavalry soldier. Even if the Song army has a large number of reinforcements, he is still an infantry. At worst, he will give up his plan to eat Li Jilong's troops. He can retreat calmly at any time , but now... all the cavalry rushed out of the city. Teams of brightly armored, shiny knives and guns rushed out of the city continuously. Chess, fluttering in the wind, hunting and hunting, with the word "Tong" written on it, there is still an endless stream of cavalry behind, and it is not known how many Song troops there are. Where did Song come from so many cavalry?how is this possible! Brother Yeluxiu could hardly believe his eyes, but the deafening shouts of killing, the continuous cavalry team... what he saw in his eyes and what he heard in his ears, this was clearly not a dream. Back off. At this moment, there was another burst of shouting from the right side, and a large army came rushing from the direction of Qizhou. The soldiers and horses on this road were also cavalry. The dress is very similar to that of the Liao army, with left lapels and fur coats and hats. However, the soldiers and horses who came from the direction of Qizhou were all black helmets and armors. The barrel of the gun is black and dark, and the blade is extremely sharp. Such a neat and uniform team, the momentum alone is enough to make the enemy terrified. "Woo~~~~~" The shrill and long horn sounded, and the galloping horses raised their spears obliquely, and a forest of spears and spears immediately stood up in the sky. There was no army drum, and the sound of horseshoes shaking the earth was the rumbling war drum. The morale of Li Jilong's troops surrounded by the Liao army in the center was high. , Shouting one after another: "Reinforcements have arrived, don't let a Liao man go!" From the inside to the outside, from the outside to the inside, Song Jun's momentum is like a rainbow, dragons and tigers are fierce, and the Liao cavalry in the astonishment are in chaos!
The Liao army was defeated, just as Zhao Guangyi, who thought victory was in sight, defeated Gaolianghe carelessly, and brother Yeluxiu was also defeated in Xiaotanghe. The Liao army was forced to retreat northward, along the crossing bridge built on the Xiaotang River, the rear line desperately resisted, suppressed the fierce offensive of the Song army, and covered the brigade of troops to cross the river. Suddenly the flags and banners were unfurled, and out of nowhere came out a group of Song soldiers, horses and pawns, all of them were pawns, they were the invincible Imperial Guards of Song Dynasty. Soap silk cotton draped jacket, white silk cotton stockings, purple turban, blue and yellow shoulders, and hemp shoes on the feet. The formation is the usual large formation of the Song army. At the eye of the formation is a general, with a helmet and armor, majestic and majestic. , with a big flag behind him, and a big "Pan" in the letter, it is Pan Mei and Pan Zhongxun. "The left army advances!" "boom!" With the sound of a general, the soldiers moved silently, and the uniform voices converged into an explosion-like sound. The uniform infantry of the Imperial Army marched forward with steady and powerful steps. The first row of big guns was level, and the second A row of long spears stabs obliquely, and countless rows of big guns point straight to the sky behind them, approaching step by step amidst the uniform "booming" sound, like a copper wall and an iron wall. "The right army advances!" "boom!" Two walls of soldiers and spears squeezed towards the middle. "Archer, shoot!" "Om!" A frightening voice sounded, behind the spear array, countless feathered arrows soared into the air, passed the spearmen in front, and fell towards the soldiers and horses of the Liao army. The sound of orders and footsteps alternated like thunder. The Liao army suffered from the Song army's large formation under the city of Youzhou, but since then, the Song army has never staged such a large formation. I don't feel timid. "Rush over, the Iron Forest Army breaks through!" Yeluhende, the general of the Liao Kingdom who had led his troops across the river, yelled that Yeluhende had become the leader of the Tielin Army since Li Zha Lucun, the leader of the Liao Kingdom's Tielin Army, surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Armored cavalry, as famous as Xixia iron harriers and Jin Guo iron pagodas in history, are the troops with the most complete armor. If you want to fight a bloody path through this iron wall, you can only rely on the Iron Forest Army. The Tielin army rushed forward quickly, just like Li Jilong's Jingsai army assaulted the Liao army's main formation just now, rushing forward fearlessly. Kouzi, otherwise, all the men and horses who crossed the border will have to be confessed here. Although the Liao Kingdom has a lot of people who control strings, these 80,000 elite soldiers are the most elite troops in the Liao Kingdom. Seeing the Tielin Army of the Liao Army rushing towards their own formation roaring, the old General Pan Mei smiled while twisting his beard on the horse, calmly. When the bow was leveled, there was a "clang clang" sound from the bow, and countless crossbow arrows rushed over with the sound of the wind, like cutting wheat, and knocked down countless soldiers of the Tielin Army of the Liao Kingdom. Yeluhende hid in a stirrup, he dodged fast enough, but he was also hit by an arrow on the shoulder, which went deep into the bone, and the pain was unbearable.After this round of strong arrows passed, the distance was finally shortened by more than a hundred steps. The Song Army camp roared again, countless bowstrings creaked, and the rain of arrows came from the sky with the wind, fast and fierce.Yeluhende hurriedly took a small shield to cover his vitals, the horse under his crotch had already been hit by several crossbow arrows, but at this time he was hit by several sharp arrows on the head, chest and back, and finally failed, he let out a long hiss, and fell dead on the ground. Yeluhende rolled over like a lazy donkey, almost broke his leg under the pressure of the horse, and looked back in panic. In this moment, there were no less than two thousand Liao athletes who were shot down. The fleshy crossbow arrows turned over and jumped onto an unowned horse, and roared: "Attack the Song Army's main formation!" "Oh... oh..." the Liao Army screamed strangely, slammed on the belly of the horse, and began to rush towards the Song Army's main formation in front at a sprint speed. As long as they broke the front formation, they would be able to tear the Song Army's formation The gap opened a way for the 80,000 most elite cavalry of the Liao army. Seeing the Liao army rushing towards him like wolves and tigers, Pan Mei stretched out her hand to brush her beautiful beard, pulled the horse away, and the left and right relatives protected him and swung away. The military cavalry don't care where they go, just move forward, they also expected that there must be a dense forest of spears ahead, and I am afraid that they will have to pay the loss of hundreds of troops to fight hard into the forest of guns, only to have a glimmer of hope. The defense of the Song army was opened, but they never expected that when the archers and crossbowmen dispersed, what appeared behind them was an extremely weird team. The average height of each person is much higher than that of ordinary people. They are tall and tall, and each person is wearing a plate armor that looks extremely thick and strong. When you stand there, the layers are like rocks. city walls.Then, a strange-shaped weapon with a handle five feet long and a blade four feet long, with two blades and a pointed tip, was lifted up in unison. "what is this?" Yeluhende was a little surprised, and then the spear in his hand pierced the breastplate of a Mo Dao soldier with a clang. There was a piercing sound, and the sharp tip of the spear made a mark on the breastplate, and then Sliding to one side along the smooth plate armor, Yeluhende saw a huge horse's head split in half. Yeluhende was taken aback: "What kind of knife is this? It's so powerful. How sharp and heavy is it?" He only had time to think about this question, but before he got the answer, several sharp knives slashed at his body, cutting him into pieces of flesh and blood. "Swipe, swipe, swipe!" The bright Mo Dao rushed in like a wall, one after another, like a huge rice cutter, stuffing people and horses in, throwing out the mixed meat and blood, the wide and sharp Mo Dao brought the enemy The deterrence of the weapon is far beyond that of the narrow spearhead, and the attack method is not only a kind of chopping, it can stab and cut, of course, the most commonly used is chopping and chopping. Although this Mo Dao team has enhanced the protection effect compared with the traditional Mo Dao soldiers, so that the Mo Dao team has various restrictions, but in this narrow area where the enemy has been suppressed by the spearmen and archers on the left and right flanks, they are just Invincible existence. The Liao army was like a snow lion in a fire, and was defeated by this kind of sharp weapon specially designed to restrain the cavalry. Knife array?The road back to the north was cut off, so in desperation, Brother Yeluxiu had to lead the rest of his troops to fight a bloody road, and fled to the west in a panic. Tang County in the west is now under their control. They have been suppressing the Song Army for a long time, forcing the Song Army to rely on Brother Yeluxiu who is standing firm. At this time, they can only choose to use the city wall of Tang County to resist the Song Army. , and then Xu Tu plans later. The remnants of the defeated generals headed west in a panic. When they arrived at Jiashan Pass, they saw flags flying in front of them. There was already a team waiting there quietly. Not Bi Li, this is the banner of Li Huating, the general of Xixia, not Li Jilong, the defender of Dingzhou.On the right is a large flag, and the veteran under the flag has blood-red eyes, glaring viciously at the Liao army who came in embarrassment. This person is Liu Tingrang, the founding veteran of the Song Dynasty who fled back alone after being annihilated in the first battle of Junziguan. Brother Yeluxiu didn't have time to pay attention to who the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings belonged to. His gaze was directly focused on the square cavalry phalanx in the middle.All the big food horses are tall and majestic, one head taller on average than the war horses of the Liao Kingdom.The knights on the horses were all covered with armor including the horses under their crotches. The knights on the horses even covered their heads in the armor, looking like terrifying beasts. Like an abyss standing still, like a mountain standing up, an invisible pressure rushed to the face. Danger! A trace of vigilance quietly rose in Yeluxiu's heart. "Tom! Tom tom!" As the drums sounded, the veteran Liu Tingrang pointed forward with his spear and hissed, all the knights in heavy armor held their spears and rode forward.At first it galloped slowly, then gradually speeded up, and then the kinetic energy and potential energy were transformed into kinetic energy, and the speed became faster and faster, the whole ground was shaking, and the rumbling sound echoed in the mountain pass, even if Yang Hao came here at this time, he would give a loud shout "Withdraw the troops and return to the camp", they couldn't stop. The disastrous defeat of the 300,000 army in Gaoliang River, the annihilation of the 30,000 Song army in the Gentleman's Pavilion, under the watchful eyes of countless heroic souls, "heavy tanks" went to Khotan to exert their power on the Kara Khans. It's time to eat.
Just kidding, there is Pan Mei and Yang Jiye by my side, plus Li Jilong, the god of war in the younger generation. Of course, Li Jilong has just made his debut, and there is not enough battle experience. Any outstanding general, including Liao Over there, brother Yeluxiu, who is in the limelight, may not be as outstanding as them in history if they don't have enough battlefield experience, but at least they have begun to show their prominence at the moment, and there are two generals Pan Yang in charge. Overall, I am not afraid that Li Jilong will make any rash decisions. That being the case, what kind of tactics would need him, the emperor, to show his cowardice? If he dictated everything, the courtiers would not be able to refute him, or he would become the second Zhao Guangyi.There is a specialization in the art industry, since there are talents under his command, it is better to leave this matter to professionals. If they can't win, it will be free for them to come forward.Others are suspicious of people and don't use them, but Yang Hao has already come to a conclusion about their capabilities, so of course he wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Pan Mei and Li Jilong didn't know his intentions. Seeing the trust of the officials, they couldn't help but feel grateful. There was no reason not to devote themselves to it. Soon, under the joint planning of these three wise generals, an action plan was hotly released. At this time, sporadic snow was already floating outside the tent... Scattered snowflakes, like crumbs of flying qiong, early in the morning, 80,000 cavalry carefully selected by brother Yeluxiu crossed the Tang River and formed a formation outside Dingzhou City, shouting and shouting. up. It was not the director of the Liao Army who attacked the fortifications. In the first few years of the Battle of Yinzhou, they learned for the first time the great role of the excellent siege equipment of the Han people from the scene of Zheziyu and Zhewei attacking the city, and they also learned some siege equipment However, they couldn't make such exquisite siege equipment as Yang Hao used. This time, Zhao Guangyi retreated too quickly, and a large number of siege equipment manufactured were thrown under the city of Youzhou, and there was no time to destroy them.The Liao army quickly invaded the south, and after being blocked at the border, they suddenly remembered the usefulness of these siege equipment abandoned by Zhao Guangyi, and immediately transported them from the rear. At the beginning, Zhao Guangyi quickly approached the city of Youzhou, obtained local materials, and rushed to build these siege equipment day and night while attacking the city and fighting for reinforcements. Now he wants to transport these huge and assembled siege equipment. It's an easy task, those huge monsters are still on the way, but more than 200,000 troops are shut down, which consumes a lot of rice and food, so we can't just wait, Brother Yeluxiu calls for formation every day before the gate, and never stops. If the Song army puts up the exemption card every time it is called, then the morale of the Song army after the new defeat will be even lower. When the Liao army has transported a large number of siege equipment, one can imagine how much fighting spirit the Song army has left.Brother Yeluxiu believed that Li Jilong was a smart man. When the army was defeated and even the emperor fled without a trace, Li Jilong could command the retreat calmly and minimize the losses. Brother Yeluxiu believed that this was a formidable enemy , the powerful enemy will hit him until he loses his temper, making him not even have the courage to fight. And Li Jilong also guessed some of his intentions. He was not just retreating and defending. He would organize some small battles from time to time. The tactics he adopted were still the best formations of the Song Army. It can be defended but cannot be attacked, but this kind of defense can at least improve morale than retreating in passive defense in the pass. Today, the wind is very strong, the banners are flying and roaring like thunder.The city of Dingzhou opened, and the Song army left the city slowly, but what is surprising is that the Song army who left the city did not set up the usual formations, but purgeed the team a little, and then took the initiative to attack the Liao army. Yeluxiu, who had been lazily sitting in the rear, suddenly stood up and looked towards the opposite side in astonishment. He saw that the Song army, with the elite Jingsai cavalry team as the vanguard, launched a fierce attack on the Liao army's position. The main force of nearly 10,000 people followed closely behind in a conical formation. This was not a feint, they were really desperate. "Finally...have you held back?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yeluxiu's mouth. Ahead, the arrows rained down, and the cavalry of the Song army fell off their horses one after another, but no one reined in to avoid dodging. Tian Min, the commander of the Jingsai army, took the lead, and used his big spear to deflect the flying arrows, and rushed straight into the enemy's formation.A hole was torn open in the front of the Liao army, and the Song army rushed in quickly, cutting through the waves and striving to expand the results of the battle. Brother Yeluxiu laughed loudly, and shouted: "Let the Song army come in, pass the order, the Pishi army and the Tielin army will surround the enemy with two wings, and cut off the enemy's rear. Since they dare to attack, I will leave them all here today." As he said that, the guards led his black horse, Yeluxiu got on the saddle, sat down calmly, took off the big gun from the victory hook, and pointed forward sharply, the gun surpassed thousands of troops and horses , as if stabbing directly at General Song, who was rushing to the forefront of the Song army, his legs hit the horse's legs, and Brother Yeluxiu jumped down from the gentle slope like a bolt of lightning, and rushed to the front. Li Jilong was also in the army. Tian Min, the commander of the Jingsai Army, led more than a thousand cavalry to charge forward, tearing apart the Liao army's line. Li Jilong led more than ten thousand infantry in the rear of the Liao army through the hole torn by the cavalry, and rushed into the Liao army. array heart. Li Jilong galloped his horse wildly, facing the Khitan iron cavalry rushing up like a tide, his eyes were as sharp as eagles, and the tiger guards in front, back, left, and left were also snarling, like tigers out of the cage, screaming and fighting hard. He greeted them all over the place, like a honeycomb stabbing the Liao cavalry that rushed forward. Arrows whistling in mid-air, Song and Liao soldiers fought hand to hand, blood for blood, the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.The Song army broke into the enemy's position and faced eight times the enemy without fear.Brother Yeluxiu was both surprised and delighted. What surprised Li Jilong was that he did not know what stimulated him, but he actually gave up the formation warfare that the Song Army was best at, and adopted this desperate style of fighting, and he was outnumbered.The good news is that his army is eight times stronger than the enemy's. As long as this main force is eaten up, the remaining Song army will never be able to defend Dingzhou. It's not that he didn't think of Li Jilong's deceitful strategy, but this thought was just a flash, and he threw it to the back of his mind.On the left of Dingzhou is Tang County, which has fallen into the hands of the Liao army, controlling Jiashan, the only valley here.The right wing of Dingzhou is Qizhou, and Qizhou is still under the control of the Song army, but Qizhou is still a hundred miles away from here, and there is a flat river in the middle, not to mention that if the Song army wanted to make a surprise attack, it would be discovered as early as ten miles away. Even if Song Jun came, so what?His 80,000 elite soldiers are all cavalry, and the initiative in the war is in his hands. He can fight when he wants, and walk when he wants. Song Jun relies on a pair of big feet, do you want to follow the horse's buttocks to eat dirt? Therefore, in this battle, Brother Yeluxiu fought recklessly. "Kill!" Brother Yeluxiu had just arrived in front of Song Jun when four sharp spears came at him. Brother Yeluxiu slammed the horse's belly, then suddenly accelerated, two spears stabbed in the air, and with a thrust of the spear in his hand, he pushed aside the first With three spears, with a swish of his left arm, he held the fourth spear firmly under his ribs, and then shouted loudly, stabbing his chest with the iron spear in his hand, and the sword and shield hand next to the spearman rushed to meet him, But Brother Yeluxiu was united with the horse, the spear was accurate and ruthless, and the spear pierced the shield. The sword and shield could not stand still, and it turned over on its back. With a splash of blood, the spearman fell into the dust. Li Jilong had a pistol and a knife in his hand, stabbing from a distance and slashing near, invincible. Suddenly he saw a general of the Liao army approaching. Li Jilong didn't know that he was Brother Yeluxiu, the great leader of the Liao Kingdom who had been famous for a long time, but from his majestic appearance. Li Jilong didn't stop, and immediately charged forward like an arrow, with a long spear flat and a treasured knife tightly clutched, rushing towards him like a god of killing. Along the way, I don't know how many Liao soldiers I met, all of them were picked off by him, or cut into two by shoulders and hips. There was almost no enemy, and even his guards were left behind. Li Jilong didn't say a word, he rushed to the front, his body was half up, like a tiger descending the mountain, he stabbed Yeluxiu between the eyebrows with a spear, and the cold air pierced his bones.Brother Yeluxiu greeted him with a gun: "Go!" "Crack!" With a sound, a head-on shot was thrown away. At this moment, Li Jilong burst into the air with a loud shout like a thunderbolt: "Kill!" The saber in his left hand was like a flash of lightning, and it struck Yeluxiu's neck. The sharp light of the saber was breathtaking, and the half-squatting, half-leaping posture, and the sparkling tiger eyes were especially frightening.Brother Yeluxiu didn't have time to return the spear to stab, his legs clamped the horse's legs, leaned out to one side, hit the spine of the knife with the end of the gun, and narrowly parried Li Jilong's knife, the sharp blade stuck to his The shoulder was chopped down, the shoulder guard was cut open, a piece of flesh was cut off from the shoulder, and blood dripped down. The two horses were in the wrong stirrups, Brother Yeluxiu reluctantly hung up the gun, quickly picked up the bow in his hand, and a feathered arrow was placed on the string. With a move of rhinoceros looking at the moon, the bowstring was fully drawn. Looking back, it was an arrow, which went straight to Li Jilong's back. , Li Jilong also paid attention to the movement behind him, if brother Yeluxiu made any movement, Li Jilong lifted the rein in time, and leaped forward, brother Yeluxiu flew past Li Jilong's armor with an arrow, and Li Jilong had completed the dial. The horse turned around and faced the enemy head-on. Brother Yeluxiu let out a hey voice, and shouted: "A certain Liao country is bigger than Yue Yeluxiu, who is the general of Song Dynasty, please report his name!" "A certain crown prince Shaobao, guard Ma Jun Du Yuhou, Dingzhou defender Li Jilong." Brother Yeluxiu's eyes lit up: "It turns out that it was you, and General Li abandoned the danger to attack. Could it be that he is at the end of his rope?" Li Jilong said: "General Yelu became famous in the first battle in Youzhou. He only saw his wisdom, but not his courage. Li wants to learn today!" Brother Yeluxiu sneered, and the two members will fight together again. The main force of the Liao army will surround the Song Army in the center, killing the sky and the earth. After about half an hour of the battle, the suspension bridge of Dingzhou City is lowered again, and the gate of the city is rumbling open , Teams of iron cavalry swarmed out, Brother Yeluxiu saw it in his busy schedule, and couldn't help being surprised. If the Song army had reinforcements, he didn't hesitate. Right now his troops are far superior to Li Jilong's troops, and he is a cavalry soldier. Even if the Song army has a large number of reinforcements, he is still an infantry. At worst, he will give up his plan to eat Li Jilong's troops. He can retreat calmly at any time , but now... all the cavalry rushed out of the city. Teams of brightly armored, shiny knives and guns rushed out of the city continuously. Chess, fluttering in the wind, hunting and hunting, with the word "Tong" written on it, there is still an endless stream of cavalry behind, and it is not known how many Song troops there are. Where did Song come from so many cavalry?how is this possible! Brother Yeluxiu could hardly believe his eyes, but the deafening shouts of killing, the continuous cavalry team... what he saw in his eyes and what he heard in his ears, this was clearly not a dream. Back off. At this moment, there was another burst of shouting from the right side, and a large army came rushing from the direction of Qizhou. The soldiers and horses on this road were also cavalry. The dress is very similar to that of the Liao army, with left lapels and fur coats and hats. However, the soldiers and horses who came from the direction of Qizhou were all black helmets and armors. The barrel of the gun is black and dark, and the blade is extremely sharp. Such a neat and uniform team, the momentum alone is enough to make the enemy terrified. "Woo~~~~~" The shrill and long horn sounded, and the galloping horses raised their spears obliquely, and a forest of spears and spears immediately stood up in the sky. There was no army drum, and the sound of horseshoes shaking the earth was the rumbling war drum. The morale of Li Jilong's troops surrounded by the Liao army in the center was high. , Shouting one after another: "Reinforcements have arrived, don't let a Liao man go!" From the inside to the outside, from the outside to the inside, Song Jun's momentum is like a rainbow, dragons and tigers are fierce, and the Liao cavalry in the astonishment are in chaos!
The Liao army was defeated, just as Zhao Guangyi, who thought victory was in sight, defeated Gaolianghe carelessly, and brother Yeluxiu was also defeated in Xiaotanghe. The Liao army was forced to retreat northward, along the crossing bridge built on the Xiaotang River, the rear line desperately resisted, suppressed the fierce offensive of the Song army, and covered the brigade of troops to cross the river. Suddenly the flags and banners were unfurled, and out of nowhere came out a group of Song soldiers, horses and pawns, all of them were pawns, they were the invincible Imperial Guards of Song Dynasty. Soap silk cotton draped jacket, white silk cotton stockings, purple turban, blue and yellow shoulders, and hemp shoes on the feet. The formation is the usual large formation of the Song army. At the eye of the formation is a general, with a helmet and armor, majestic and majestic. , with a big flag behind him, and a big "Pan" in the letter, it is Pan Mei and Pan Zhongxun. "The left army advances!" "boom!" With the sound of a general, the soldiers moved silently, and the uniform voices converged into an explosion-like sound. The uniform infantry of the Imperial Army marched forward with steady and powerful steps. The first row of big guns was level, and the second A row of long spears stabs obliquely, and countless rows of big guns point straight to the sky behind them, approaching step by step amidst the uniform "booming" sound, like a copper wall and an iron wall. "The right army advances!" "boom!" Two walls of soldiers and spears squeezed towards the middle. "Archer, shoot!" "Om!" A frightening voice sounded, behind the spear array, countless feathered arrows soared into the air, passed the spearmen in front, and fell towards the soldiers and horses of the Liao army. The sound of orders and footsteps alternated like thunder. The Liao army suffered from the Song army's large formation under the city of Youzhou, but since then, the Song army has never staged such a large formation. I don't feel timid. "Rush over, the Iron Forest Army breaks through!" Yeluhende, the general of the Liao Kingdom who had led his troops across the river, yelled that Yeluhende had become the leader of the Tielin Army since Li Zha Lucun, the leader of the Liao Kingdom's Tielin Army, surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Armored cavalry, as famous as Xixia iron harriers and Jin Guo iron pagodas in history, are the troops with the most complete armor. If you want to fight a bloody path through this iron wall, you can only rely on the Iron Forest Army. The Tielin army rushed forward quickly, just like Li Jilong's Jingsai army assaulted the Liao army's main formation just now, rushing forward fearlessly. Kouzi, otherwise, all the men and horses who crossed the border will have to be confessed here. Although the Liao Kingdom has a lot of people who control strings, these 80,000 elite soldiers are the most elite troops in the Liao Kingdom. Seeing the Tielin Army of the Liao Army rushing towards their own formation roaring, the old General Pan Mei smiled while twisting his beard on the horse, calmly. When the bow was leveled, there was a "clang clang" sound from the bow, and countless crossbow arrows rushed over with the sound of the wind, like cutting wheat, and knocked down countless soldiers of the Tielin Army of the Liao Kingdom. Yeluhende hid in a stirrup, he dodged fast enough, but he was also hit by an arrow on the shoulder, which went deep into the bone, and the pain was unbearable.After this round of strong arrows passed, the distance was finally shortened by more than a hundred steps. The Song Army camp roared again, countless bowstrings creaked, and the rain of arrows came from the sky with the wind, fast and fierce.Yeluhende hurriedly took a small shield to cover his vitals, the horse under his crotch had already been hit by several crossbow arrows, but at this time he was hit by several sharp arrows on the head, chest and back, and finally failed, he let out a long hiss, and fell dead on the ground. Yeluhende rolled over like a lazy donkey, almost broke his leg under the pressure of the horse, and looked back in panic. In this moment, there were no less than two thousand Liao athletes who were shot down. The fleshy crossbow arrows turned over and jumped onto an unowned horse, and roared: "Attack the Song Army's main formation!" "Oh... oh..." the Liao Army screamed strangely, slammed on the belly of the horse, and began to rush towards the Song Army's main formation in front at a sprint speed. As long as they broke the front formation, they would be able to tear the Song Army's formation The gap opened a way for the 80,000 most elite cavalry of the Liao army. Seeing the Liao army rushing towards him like wolves and tigers, Pan Mei stretched out her hand to brush her beautiful beard, pulled the horse away, and the left and right relatives protected him and swung away. The military cavalry don't care where they go, just move forward, they also expected that there must be a dense forest of spears ahead, and I am afraid that they will have to pay the loss of hundreds of troops to fight hard into the forest of guns, only to have a glimmer of hope. The defense of the Song army was opened, but they never expected that when the archers and crossbowmen dispersed, what appeared behind them was an extremely weird team. The average height of each person is much higher than that of ordinary people. They are tall and tall, and each person is wearing a plate armor that looks extremely thick and strong. When you stand there, the layers are like rocks. city walls.Then, a strange-shaped weapon with a handle five feet long and a blade four feet long, with two blades and a pointed tip, was lifted up in unison. "what is this?" Yeluhende was a little surprised, and then the spear in his hand pierced the breastplate of a Mo Dao soldier with a clang. There was a piercing sound, and the sharp tip of the spear made a mark on the breastplate, and then Sliding to one side along the smooth plate armor, Yeluhende saw a huge horse's head split in half. Yeluhende was taken aback: "What kind of knife is this? It's so powerful. How sharp and heavy is it?" He only had time to think about this question, but before he got the answer, several sharp knives slashed at his body, cutting him into pieces of flesh and blood. "Swipe, swipe, swipe!" The bright Mo Dao rushed in like a wall, one after another, like a huge rice cutter, stuffing people and horses in, throwing out the mixed meat and blood, the wide and sharp Mo Dao brought the enemy The deterrence of the weapon is far beyond that of the narrow spearhead, and the attack method is not only a kind of chopping, it can stab and cut, of course, the most commonly used is chopping and chopping. Although this Mo Dao team has enhanced the protection effect compared with the traditional Mo Dao soldiers, so that the Mo Dao team has various restrictions, but in this narrow area where the enemy has been suppressed by the spearmen and archers on the left and right flanks, they are just Invincible existence. The Liao army was like a snow lion in a fire, and was defeated by this kind of sharp weapon specially designed to restrain the cavalry. Knife array?The road back to the north was cut off, so in desperation, Brother Yeluxiu had to lead the rest of his troops to fight a bloody road, and fled to the west in a panic. Tang County in the west is now under their control. They have been suppressing the Song Army for a long time, forcing the Song Army to rely on Brother Yeluxiu who is standing firm. At this time, they can only choose to use the city wall of Tang County to resist the Song Army. , and then Xu Tu plans later. The remnants of the defeated generals headed west in a panic. When they arrived at Jiashan Pass, they saw flags flying in front of them. There was already a team waiting there quietly. Not Bi Li, this is the banner of Li Huating, the general of Xixia, not Li Jilong, the defender of Dingzhou.On the right is a large flag, and the veteran under the flag has blood-red eyes, glaring viciously at the Liao army who came in embarrassment. This person is Liu Tingrang, the founding veteran of the Song Dynasty who fled back alone after being annihilated in the first battle of Junziguan. Brother Yeluxiu didn't have time to pay attention to who the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings belonged to. His gaze was directly focused on the square cavalry phalanx in the middle.All the big food horses are tall and majestic, one head taller on average than the war horses of the Liao Kingdom.The knights on the horses were all covered with armor including the horses under their crotches. The knights on the horses even covered their heads in the armor, looking like terrifying beasts. Like an abyss standing still, like a mountain standing up, an invisible pressure rushed to the face. Danger! A trace of vigilance quietly rose in Yeluxiu's heart. "Tom! Tom tom!" As the drums sounded, the veteran Liu Tingrang pointed forward with his spear and hissed, all the knights in heavy armor held their spears and rode forward.At first it galloped slowly, then gradually speeded up, and then the kinetic energy and potential energy were transformed into kinetic energy, and the speed became faster and faster, the whole ground was shaking, and the rumbling sound echoed in the mountain pass, even if Yang Hao came here at this time, he would give a loud shout "Withdraw the troops and return to the camp", they couldn't stop. The disastrous defeat of the 300,000 army in Gaoliang River, the annihilation of the 30,000 Song army in the Gentleman's Pavilion, under the watchful eyes of countless heroic souls, "heavy tanks" went to Khotan to exert their power on the Kara Khans. It's time to eat.
