Chapter 105 In the third quarter, Song Shi was defeated again

The Western Army sent by the Song Dynasty this time is the new force of the Song Army, and as the saying goes, "Father brothers fight tigers, father and son soldiers in battle."So, will Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi and his son be able to win a complete victory in this expedition? The Song Dynasty sent Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi father and son this time, it should be said that they went to the doctor in a hurry.Liu Yanqing is indeed a famous general, but it is a pity that he is brave but not brave.He is good at giving Liu Yanqing a thousand cavalry to charge into battle, let him take off his arms, swing a big knife, and follow me.Let him command an army of 100,000, strategize, and win thousands of miles, he is not the material.When Liu Guangshi later fought with Jin Jun, Jin Bing could only see his back forever. He kept running, always with his back facing the enemy, and he didn't know why he was ranked as the fourth general of ZTE.Song Jun is such a pair of living treasures leading the army, and the battle has not yet been fought, so the result can be guessed in close proximity.But this time in the Song Dynasty, after all, an army of 100,000 came aggressively, and some people in the Liao army were afraid.

Who is afraid?At that time, the "Resentful Army" of the Liao Kingdom guarded Zhuozhou.Of the 8,000 people who made up this force, most of them had family members killed by the Jin army.This group of people suffered a lot and had a blood feud with Jin. They showed bravery on the battlefield, so the Liao Kingdom formed these people into an army and called them "resentful army". Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the "Resentful Army", was a general of the Han nationality. He surrendered when he saw the strength of the Song army. I'd better go back to the embrace of the motherland.Before the battle was fought, Zhuozhou, the gateway to Nanjing City, surrendered without a fight, and the Song Army also received 8,000 new troops led by Guo Yaoshi.As soon as Zhuozhou fell, Yizhou followed suit.The Song army captured two cities without bloodshed, and also got the famous general Guo Yaoshi and his 8,000 elites, so he felt that this battle was sure to be won, and it would be easy to take down Liaoning and Nanjing, so he continued to go north.

After Guo Yaoshi surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he somewhat regretted it. Later, when the Jin army went south, Guo Yaoshi immediately surrendered Jin. He felt that he was on the wrong team.Looking at Liu Guangshi's troops, there is no discipline and lack of training.Liu Guangshi drank in the barracks all day long, neither drilled nor restrained the troops, and the soldiers wandered around.How can such an army fight?Although the number of Liao soldiers is small, they are all elite soldiers in hundreds of battles. Isn't it like playing with a mob like you?He told Liu Guangshi, General, we can't do this, we have to train troops, we have to be strict in discipline, we can't follow our feelings in war, we have to formulate a detailed battle plan.Can Liu Guangshi listen to this general?What level of cadre am I, such a big cadre, can I listen to you?Where were you when I was fighting Xixia, dare to teach me now?Guo Yaoshi offered suggestions many times, but they were not accepted, so Song Jun rushed to Nanjing in such a noisy swarm.

This time, the commanders of the Liao army were still Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian, the king of the fourth army, with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, while the number of soldiers and horses of the Song army, including the soldiers of the Liao army, had reached more than 100,000.The two armies faced each other across Lugou, and Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian led their troops to attack first. After a bloody battle with the Song Dynasty's 100,000 troops, it was basically a tie, and the Liao army still had a slight upper hand. At this time, Guo Yaoshi gave Liu Yanqing an idea, we can't fight like this, general, you lead the main force to a decisive battle with the Liao army, and at the end you will lead the 8,000 resentful troops of your subordinates to attack Nanjing city.I am familiar with the way, and after I succeed, I will raise a fire on the city wall as a sign, and you quickly ask your son Liu Guangshi to lead the army to reinforce, and we will bypass Yelu Dashi.Isn't he easy to deal with?Let's ignore him and directly occupy Nanjing.As soon as Nanjing was occupied, the old nest of the Liao army was taken away, and Yelu Dashi naturally retreated without a fight.Liu Yanqing was overjoyed when he heard that, so he obeyed Guo Yaoshi's request and asked Guo Yaoshi to lead the army to attack Nanjing.Guo Yaoshi led the army at midnight, and Gao Shixuan, a famous general of the Western Army, led 5,000 elite soldiers to cross Lugou secretly.The Liao army had limited horses, and it was impossible to fortify everywhere. Guo Yaoshi and Gao Shixuan took advantage of the emptiness of Liao's defense, and led 5,000 troops to break through the outer city of Nanjing in one fell swoop.

As soon as the Song army entered the outer city of Nanjing, Liaoning, they raised fire as a sign.What Guo Yaoshi originally said was to raise the fire after defeating the enemy, but now he has just rushed into the city, and he raised the fire before he even wrote the horoscope.Nanjing was set on fire. Liu Yanqing saw that Liaoning and Nanjing had been captured by our army, and he was relieved. Victory is in sight. Let's stop desperately and prepare to enter Nanjing to pick up the spoils.In the last war, to be killed by the last bullet, it's too bad.However, Liu Guangshi's reinforcements were not enough, Song Jun was discouraged, and his actions were slow and slack.What is even more frightening is that the Song army who attacked Nanjing City was busy grabbing things, and their military discipline was corrupted.Just broke through the outer city, and the inner city and Miyagi, so they were busy grabbing things.Surrounded by ministers, Empress Dowager Xiao Puxian of the Liao Kingdom assembled the remaining troops in the city, went up to the city to resist desperately, and then reported to Yelu Dashi.The Song army in the city fell into a hard fight, which turned into street fighting.Song Jun didn't know the terrain of Liaonan at all, and after rushing into the city, he was dumbfounded.Moreover, it was the cavalry of the Song Army who attacked Nanjing. Once the cavalry entered the city, the mud bulls entered the sea.

The Song army forgot one very important thing. To eliminate the Liao army inside the city, the most important thing to do is to control the city gate and prevent the Liao army outside the city from entering. The Song army just forgot to control the city gate.They fought with the Liao army in the city, and the city gate was wide open. Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian took advantage of this opportunity, sent Qingqi back to help, and entered the city of Nanjing.Liu Yanqing's 100,000-strong army was already discouraged. When he saw Yelu Dashi returning to the army, he stopped chasing him. He felt that our army had already occupied Nanjing, and you would die if you went back. It doesn't matter. Let's take our time in Nanjing.He thought he would attack Yelu Dashi with the Song Army in Nanjing, but because the main force of the Song Army moved slowly, Yelu Dashi and the Liao Army in Nanjing attacked Guo Yaoshi and Liu Guangshi.In the end, only a few hundred cavalrymen of the Song Army protruded from Nanjing City, with tens of thousands of corpses and 5,000 horses left behind, and Nanjing City was not captured.Gao Shixuan, a famous general of the Western Army, was also shot in the body in this battle and died in the street fighting.

The Song army could not steal chickens and lose rice, and all the troops who went to attack Nanjing were wiped out by Yelu Dashi.After the Song army was wiped out, the Liao army outside the city joined forces and rushed down to attack the main force of the Song army led by Liu Yanqing.The main force led by Liu Yanqing was not mentally prepared.We are not here to fight, we are here to take over the city of Nanjing and prepare to reorganize it peacefully.Unexpectedly, the vicious Khitan soldiers rushed over, and the 100,000 troops trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.No less than 10,000 Song soldiers died since they fell into the mountain stream. The wealth accumulated by Wang Anshi since the reform was wiped out in this battle, and the Liao army seized it all.

The Song Dynasty couldn't fight Nanjing, but the Jin army was waiting outside Juyongguan, because according to the agreement between the two countries, Nanjing City should be fought by you.I can fight, but if I don't fight, I will violate our agreement if I want to fight, so I'm here to watch how you fight.I understand, you fight like this: the first time, you have 100,000 people, and others have 30,000, and your army is almost wiped out;I figured out how powerful this big country in the Central Plains is. The Northern Song Dynasty was even more interesting. They actually sent people to see the emperor of Jin, saying that we did not take down Nanjing. There were many reasons. Our emperor had the virtue of living and could not bear to kill people.Anyway, you don't care about killing people. Could you please give me a call?The people of the Kingdom of Jin saw it, since you asked me, I will help you with this favor, and the Jin army crossed Juyongguan to attack Nanjing.
