After the last war, the Han army took 5,000 prisoners, and then exchanged Han prisoners, purchased female slaves (released as the wives of the tribesmen), and took in fugitive slaves, and the population of the entire Han village has exceeded 10,000, of which about 30% are women. Yang Kaiyuan's 3,000 engineers were responsible for various constructions of Han Village in peacetime, and became the logistics team of the large army in wartime. Yang Yingqi counted these 3,000 people as the "Ministry of Civil Affairs" statistically, and the real statistically presented as "soldiers" were Zhe Yanchong's 800 elite cavalry, Xiao Tienu's 500 alien troops, and Cao Guangbi's newly trained 1,200 new troops, totaling 2,500 people. But even if it is only 2,500 people, it is already the fighting power of the Jin State alone.

The weapons and armor of the Han Department were all self-made, and after the first harvest came out, the grain began to be self-sufficient. The glass products made by the glazed house were exchanged for tea books through the sales network of the Zhao and Liu families, and after the Han Department left some of them for their own consumption, there was still a large surplus, so they sold them to the Jurchens together with the self-made paper in exchange for cattle and horses. Yang Yingqi has a good way of making money and distributing it fairly, so the Han Department is very wealthy among the various departments of the Jin State. Several of their leaders were far less luxurious than the Jurchen princes and generals, but the lives of the people of the tribe were the envy of the lower classes of the Jin State.

Therefore, the 2,500 troops of the Han Department not only had excellent weapons and armor, and had sufficient food rations, but also showed considerable loyalty to the Han Army. And loyalty is an invisible fighting force!

After Yang Yingqi left, Zhi Yanchong summoned the generals and said: "This Liao lord's personal expedition is not trivial, that is, the lord of the country may not have cowardice in his heart. But now that there is a change in the rear of the Liao people, and the Liao lord is driving back, the heart of the Liao army is bound to be shaken! If you can win a battle, after that, the golden sea and the sky will be wide, and you will definitely be able to become the northern twin heroes side by side with Da Liao! ”

Xiao Tienu sneered: "Wait for the lord of the country to give the order, let's just rush forward, see which of them can stop me!" Last time, they claimed to be 270,000 Khitans, but they weren't beaten by hundreds of us! ”

Cao Guangbi said: "The last time the Liao people came to the border, although they claimed to be 270,000, the actual number was only half of them. Moreover, at the beginning of the war, less than half of the actual number of people arrived at the front line, and most of them were temporary conscriptions, so we were afraid that there would not even be any military training, so we scattered as soon as we rushed them. But this time, the Liao State poured out of the nest, except for the soldiers and generals who escorted grain and grass, took care of logistics and lacked clothes and armor, and the elite of the palace tent army and the big tribal army were afraid of no less than 100,000 people. Our army is only 2,500 people, and it is by no means under the Khitan in terms of individual soldiers, but if we rush into the army, once we fall into a heavy encirclement, we will be eaten by the Liao army with the superiority of troops. ”

Zhi Yan said: "What Guang Bi said is very true, the old sixty thousand do not underestimate the enemy!" ”

After the reorganization of the various departments, the Jurchen army had a total of more than 22,000 cavalry. Ah Guda said to the generals: "There are many Liao troops, and the military formation has a law, which is very different from last time. Although our army is strong, it is not as good as three percent of its army! Therefore, the forces are inseparable, and the battle line must not be stretched too long. Each department tests the strength of the Liao army with a team, and if you encounter a soft-footed one, don't pay attention to it! ”

Zong Wang said: "Ignore the soft-footed shrimp, can't you find a strong team?" ”

Ah Gu said: "Not bad! Now that Yelu Yanxi is here, the troops around him must be the most elite! If you find the strongest team, you will find Yelu Yanxi! There are too many Liao people, we can't eat them all in the battlefield! But as long as Yelu Yanxi's Chinese army guards are defeated, the Liao people will have no fighting spirit, and the other troops will be victorious without a fight! ”

Everyone bowed to him. Zong Han is on the left, Zhe Yan Chong is on the right, and Zong Xiong has led 2,000 people from the Yan Department as the vanguard. Zhi Yanchong had 800 cavalry from his own department, Di Yu was the deputy, and divided the 1,200 people of the new army into two parts, Cao Guangbi and Aluman each led 600 people. Xiao Tienu asked to be the vanguard of the headquarters, but Zhi Yanchong let Aruban be the first part, Cao Guangbi followed, 800 horsemen were in the middle, and Xiao Tienu led 500 tribal troops to the rear of the palace.

Xiao Tienu said angrily: "What is this! Who doesn't know that I'm the knife of Hanbu! Why don't you let me be a striker! ”

Di Yu snorted and said, "The military order is like a mountain!" ”

His voice was not loud, but Xiao Tienu was a little jealous of him, and lowered his voice a little: "I understand the principle of obeying military orders. But this is the biggest battle since the founding of the country, and it is a good time to make a contribution! They left me behind...... Don't make a point...... I also obeyed orders, but I didn't accept them! ”

Zhi Yan rushed and said: "My department is not a striker, what are you anxious about!" ”

Xiao Tienu said: "It's because our department is not a striker, so we have to fight!" ”

Zhi Yan rushed: "What to fight!" This battle is not a one-two-round end! As soon as the war lasts for a long time, even the best knife will be dulled! Therefore, the good knife should be hidden, wait for the Liao people to reveal the vital point, and then take it out to give them a fatal blow! ”

Xiao Tienu was overjoyed when he heard this, and took the order. After Aluman and Cao Guangbi also set off one after another, Di Yu rushed to Zheyan: "It's very good for iron slaves to fight and kill people, it's too wild!" In addition to being able to speak Chinese, there is no Han at all, and the whole thing is a Mongolian wolf! ”

Orihiko said: "Even so, as long as he still listens to moderation, he is the sharpest knife in my department!" However, when it comes to stability, he is not only inferior to Guangbi, but even inferior to Aluman. Although Lao Wu is a Jurchen clan, he has become more and more stable in the past two years, and in this place full of Jurchens, he has grown more and more like a Han general. It's weird! ”

Di Yu said: "The Jurchen of the Hosu Pavilion is more sinicized, he has been with us for a long time, and he is similar to you, there is nothing strange about this change." In fact, the lord of the country valued him at the beginning, and he may not have the intention of helping him to be the lord of the Han Department, hey! It's a pity that Aruman has always done his duty and has no such ambitions. ”

Zhi Yanchong smiled slightly and stopped talking about this topic.

Zongxiong chased and fought fiercely in front, and Aluman followed closely on the side, dissipating the pressure of the Liao people on Zongxiong's flank. Finally in Hupu Tugang, Zongxiong's men and horses were trapped by a palace tent army.

After receiving the letter, Zhi Yanchong said: "Although the number of Zongxiong is small, even the big tribal army that attacked the Khitan has always been like a treasure knife breaking tofu, and it does not stop, but this Biao army is not simple. Could it be that the main car of Liao is near here? ”

Di Yu said: "It is possible. Hmph, if my striker is an iron slave, I'm afraid that I have already rushed in at this time. ”

Before his words landed, Cao Guangbi sent someone to report: "General Aluman led the army into the Liao army formation, saying that he wanted to relieve the pressure of General Zongxiong, but he also fell into it!" ”

Zhi Yan was shocked, and Di Yu smiled: "Aruman is Aruman!" So brave! I'm afraid that it was the words you said to Tienu before you left that stimulated him. ”

Zhi Yanchong raised his eyes and looked, and saw that Cao Guangbi's department also rushed up, and hurriedly said: "We will also go to support quickly!" ”

He rushed close to the Biao Liao army a hundred paces away, and saw the horses' hooves in front of him, and a Jurchen elite and a Han tribe rushed out, it was Zongxiong and Aluman. Cao Guangbi silver spear lead, set up a formation to stop the pursuit of the Liao, Aru retreated to Cao Guangbi to sort out the formation, and was about to rush up, Zhi Yan Chong's department had caught up at this time, he ran at the front of the team, and shouted: "Old five!" Let's rest. ”

Aru laughed and said, "What a break! I'm not a sword, but I'm a mace, not afraid of dullness! ”

When Zhi Yanchong heard this, he knew that he was really not convinced! Suddenly, a personal soldier next to him pointed out: "General! See! ”

Zheyan rushed to look at it, and saw that in addition to the Liao army advancing step by step in front, there were smoke and dust billowing up in the southwest and southeast. After years of fighting, Zhi Yanchong already had a lot of experience in estimating the enemy with Wangchen, and was shocked when he saw this, and said in his heart: "This army is not only large in number, but also quite strong in combat effectiveness. If we don't retreat quickly, I'm afraid we'll be encircled. ”

Suddenly, another report came from the rear: The emperor's Chinese army is about to follow.

Zhi Yanchong asked: "How long will it take for the Chinese army to catch up?" ”

The sergeant said, "An hour! ”

Zhi Yan rushed to his heart and said: "If you retreat, how can you have the face to see the lord of the country?" Tienu and Aruman refused to agree. For an hour, we should be able to support it! Said to Zongxiong: "Big brother! Let's fight it! ”

Zongxiong smiled: "Okay! Fight! ”

The forward cooperated with the right flank, with a total of more than 4,000 people, and rushed towards the Liao army without defending the counterattack when the number was at a disadvantage.
