Gao Huaide personally led the arrival of 10,000 Hedong cavalry, which completely changed the offensive and defensive trend of Shunzhou.

The Khitan army, which had been unable to gnaw at this hard bone and was demoralized after more than ten days of bloody fighting, collapsed at the first touch of the city.

The rest of the Khitan army had to shrink to the banks of the Chaobai River in the north, turning from offensive to defensive.

Lu Ning, who had been cut off from the outside world for more than ten days, also immediately received many military reports, including good news and bad news.

The bad news is that the palace army and the Beijing army stormed Youzhou for more than ten days, and all kinds of siege equipment have been used, but the city has not yet been broken.

There is even worse news, the Liao lord Yelu Gangsa, after paying a heavy price, has broken through the deep state.

The Liao lord Yelu Gangsa led tens of thousands of iron cavalry to the south, all of whom were the four elites of the royal family, and the guards of the Lu Duo Su, among which there were 30,000 of the leather room royal tent pro-army, and the iron armor heavy cavalry.

After conquering Bazhou, it bypassed several states, disabled half of the Hebei Army in the field, and conquered Shenzhou, and stationed the "Beining Army" in Shenzhou, afraid that the military system no longer exists, but fortunately, since Shenzhou became the granary of the Northern Army, it was built for several years, making it a military city, and there were no people in the city, otherwise they would all be slaughtered.

Of course, although the Shenzhou was broken, but the Khitan people paid a heavy price, every push further, the loss is huge, now relying on brute strength under the Shenzhou, is already the end of the strong crossbow, although the loss of its military horses, it is difficult to estimate, but after it conquered the Shenzhou, only sent thousands of cavalry to attack and plunder the nearby Qizhou, and was repelled by the Qizhou soldiers defending the city, it can be seen that it conquered Shenzhou, what kind of price was paid.

Although he felt that Qizhou must have no defense force and was very light on the enemy, it can also be seen that it has been greatly damaged now, so it will be powerless to gather some forces to wash and plunder, and its military horses to conquer Shenzhou are a little demoralized.

However, the news of the loss of Shenzhou and the annihilation of the entire Beining Army still made Lu Ning suffer as if he were on the head.

It was the outbreak of war with this powerful enemy in the north, and it was a battle in which both sides poured their national strength, and they also knew that the war would be extremely difficult, and the battlefield would unfold on the entire ground in Hebei, and it was impossible for them to have the upper hand everywhere.

But when it came to the end, the real bad news came, which still made Lu Ning depressed and wanted to cry bitterly.

Zhang Yanqing, a beloved general and a fierce general, died heroically defending the city in history, and now, I am afraid that it is also more auspicious.

For a moment, Lu Ning thought that in the future, he would slaughter the entire Khitan clan in order to wash away the deep hatred from all over the world.

Nowadays, Hebei, Shandong, and Zhili all have edicts in the name of the Son of Heaven, calling on all states and counties to organize volunteers to resist the enemy and fight against small groups of Liao cavalry.

To say that the fight against the Liao rangers is mainly the call of Hebei on the ground, Shandong, and Zhili, in fact, it is to prevent the Liao cavalry from going south desperately, in fact, looking at the decline of Yelu Gangsage after conquering Shenzhou, this possibility should be extremely small.

In fact, if it weren't for the annihilation of the Beining Army, Yelu Gongsage captured Shenzhou in a bloody battle and became the end of the crossbow, which may not be bad news.

After the outbreak of the war, most of the grain and grass in the granary of Shenzhou followed the two armies of Hebei and Hedong, and the grain in the city was only about a quarter of the heyday, although the number was still high and scary, but at least, it would not make the Hebei army and the Hedong army run out of grain and grass in a short period of time.

In other words, after paying a heavy price, Yelu Gangsage did not achieve his strategic goals at all.

On the contrary, the grain and grass stored by the Liao people in Youzhou, if the Liao people did not have the opportunity to burn the granary when they went down to the city, they could completely make up for the loss.

The good news is not big or small, the fine work from the northern region, the B Chamber Division, one of the three major Khitan departments near Yuanyang Bo, and the second batch of military horses recruited by the Liao lord suddenly returned, naturally because the news of the Qi army's breakthrough of Hancheng spread out, which made most of the Khitan people closest to Hancheng jealous, worried that if they went south, they would be attacked by the Qi army from Yanziling and attack the foundation of their tribe.

A large number of Khitan troops recruited by the second batch of Zhongjing also hesitated.

Of course, in fact, these Khitan troops are similar to village soldiers, but the poor Khitan people grew up on horseback, and they are naturally much stronger than the Southern Dynasty regimental training, but the equipment and so on are far from the Liao lord's army, and for the elite of the Qi army, their combat effectiveness is average.

The best news from the outside world is that Yelu Wuzhi, the king of the Northern Courtyard who was left by the Liao lord to guard Youzhou, was hit by the iron ball sent by the heavy artillery and died of his injuries.

Yelu House quality, it can be said that the current Khitan Department, except for the Liao lord Yelu Gong Sage, one person under the ten thousand people above the important ministers.

Born as the Meng's father's house account in the four internal Khitan royal families, he played a decisive role in the battle for the throne of the Khitan royal family three times, including the sleeping king, and the current Liao lord Yelu Gangsage, and finally Yelu Wuzhi made a clear statement to sit on the throne.

Historically, Yelu House is one of the Khitan four Yu Yue, Yu Yue is the highest title of Liao State, above the hundred officials, under the emperor, Liao history for more than 200 years, only ten people have been worshiped in Yue, four of them are immortal materials, Yelu House quality is one of them.

Han Derang was so powerful that he leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he was never worshiped in Yue.

Yelu Sage went south, of course, he did not give up Youzhou, leaving tens of thousands of elites to be led by Yelu Wuzhi to guard Youzhou, plus the reinforcements that came south one after another under his conscription, obviously he never thought that Youzhou would be breached.

Yelu Gangsage's trust in the quality of Yelu House can also be seen.

Now, this guy of Yelu House was killed by his own heavy artillery, which is also considered providence, after all, the iron ball mainly bombarded the city wall, and it really depends on luck to smash people.

The military newspaper said that in fact, Yelu's house was stoned to death, and the thick walls of Youzhou City, coupled with the underground digging of holes to bury gunpowder, were also blown down by half a corner, and the destruction of Youzhou City seemed to be imminent.

But on the contrary, when Youzhou City was at its most dangerous, the banner of the Empress of Liao suddenly appeared in the corner of the collapse, and the Khitan people immediately boosted their morale and repelled the swarming Qi army.

Now Youzhou City, it should be under the leadership of the Liao Queen Ilean and her father, and all the Khitan soldiers fought bloody battles to the death in order to hold on.

When the military newspaper saw this, Lu Ning was also stunned, obviously the three sisters of the Xiao family were not simple.

It's just that in history, the second and third Xiao Yanyan have all been given the opportunity to show their talents, and the eldest sister Ileland has no chance.

Now, it's sharp.

Of course, the title of Ilelan is Lu Ning's own heart, the beautification of later generations, and the words recorded by the officials of the Qi State now, as in history, are full of contempt for Hu Lu, called "Yi lazy".

Moreover, Lu Ping's Songshuli, which was attached to the military newspaper, also said that the city would definitely be broken in the past few days, and the "lazy" would be dedicated to the Holy Son of Heaven.

is different from Queen Xiao, she is lazy, but in the eyes of today's Khitan people, she is a serious queen.

Although judging from the portrait, this lazy is not a flower and moon appearance, but only a middle-class posture, but the identity is very extraordinary, if it can be captured and dedicated to the king in front of the king, it will inevitably shake the four seas.

There are not a few Khitan subordinates in the Western Regions, and Goryeo in the East also looks up to its snort and captures its pseudo-queen, which is a deterrent to all the people of the four seas, not to mention the psychological blow to the Khitans.

……

At the head of the northern city of Shunzhou, Lu Jingjing stood quietly looking at the northern Khitan camp.

The majestic middle-aged beautiful man standing beside him is none other than Gao Huaide, the envoy of Hedong.

Yelu Gangsage went south desperately, and the Yizhou Hedong Army naturally would not run after his ass, but it would be sleepy and tired, and it would be easy to be defeated by his horse pistol.

This is also a strategy that has been set a long time ago, and the Hedong Army immediately went north, and surrounded Youzhou with the Dianqian Army and the Beijing Army.

But Gao Huaide personally led all the cavalry in the army to aid Shunzhou, which was a temporary opportunity in the battle.

"Zangyong, I'll leave it to you here! I'm going to personally supervise the war in Youzhou. Pointing to the north, Lu Ning said lightly.

Gao Huaide suddenly bowed down and clenched his fists: "Tomorrow, the minister will definitely break Hulu!" No matter how many Khitans come again, the minister will ensure that Shunzhou is worry-free! ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly: "Yu Linwei, it's all left to you." ”

Zhong Yu Linwei, too tired, need to be repaired, these ten days of bloody battles, Yu Linwei scattered the four cities as the backbone of the resistance to the Khitans, in the fierce battle, paid a heavy price of more than 20 casualties, sacrificed more than 10 people, seriously injured three people, Yang Ye was seriously injured.

If it weren't for the Yulin guards scattered to defend the city and boost morale, if they were alone, after all, they could only defend one side, and the city might not be able to hold it.

Thinking about it, Lu Ning sighed softly in his heart and said, "Tomorrow's battle, no matter what, let them rest." ”

The Son of Heaven didn't say it, Gao Huaide also understood, and bowed down to say yes.

I want to persuade the Holy Son of Heaven to rest for a few days before going to Youzhou, but Gao Huaide understands that persuasion is also in vain, but every time there is a war, the Holy Son of Heaven works so hard, so how can the heart of a courtier be at peace? Gao Huaide sighed softly, secretly glanced at the pale face of the Holy Son of Heaven, his heart stirred, and he suddenly choked up, "Your Majesty, you must take care of your holy body, the minister, the minister died in battle, and in the next life, I would like to be Your Majesty's pawn again!" ”

Lu Ning was slightly stunned, Gao Huaide was born in the royal family, he was arrogant when he was young, and he still remembered that the first time he met him, in Shandong, his words almost made him angry to death, at that time, he must have felt that he was inexplicably unknown, after a few years, but he didn't want to, but he had already been like this to himself, time, it could really change everything.

"It's better to leave a useful body to serve me." Lu Ning smiled and patted Gao Huaide on the shoulder.

The usual actions of the Son of Heaven when he was a teenager, maybe some people thought that the Son of Heaven behaved like Meng Lang at that time, but with the Son of Heaven becoming king, ascending the throne, and growing in power, such an intimate action, as a courtier, he had long dreamed of it.

Gao Huaide felt a surge of heat in his heart, and he couldn't speak anymore, knelt down, and kowtowed.
