After all, the contest on the battlefield is a wrestling between the quality of people and weapons and equipment, and the guards of the Great Song Dynasty are well-equipped and have high combat quality, even in the face of the fierce Liao people, they can still maintain their formation and form a military formation to deal with the Liao people.

Who is the strongest in the battle between foot soldiers? Naturally, the Great Song Dynasty, which used to focus on foot combat and had rich experience, consciously formed a battle formation with both offense and defense, and rushed to the Khitans under Zhao Zhen's crazy attack.

Zhao Zhen's sword of the Son of Heaven has killed many Liao people, the bright blood red slowly turns dark red under the sunlight, and the originally powerful and gorgeous armor is covered with all kinds of knife marks, which looks vicissitudes and dilapidation.

The surrounding guards have caught up and opened up a protective wall for him, and Zhao Zhen's role has been achieved, and the emperor who is high up in his hand is holding a sword to slash and kill the enemy, which makes the Liao people timid when facing him, coupled with the invulnerability armor on his body, completely crushed the fighting spirit of the Liao people.

Zhao Zhen adjusted his breathing, the madness just now had consumed a lot of his strength, and the wrestling on the battlefield was a long process, looking up, Yelu Zongzhen was less than five steps away from him, and he was being protected by the Tielin Army and entangled with his personal guards.

I don't know when, the balance of power on this small battlefield has quietly changed, the original Liao people who were more numerous no longer have an advantage in numbers, and the personal guards of the Great Song Dynasty stabilized their positions through continuous cooperative strikes, Zhao Zhen felt that his opportunity had come.

Zhao Zhen, who led his own soldiers, saw that he was about to enter the battle that was entangled, and Xia Zhu shouted anxiously: "The official family, even if the guards come forward, they can clean up the Liao Emperor, why should the official family take the risk!" ”

Zhao Zhen looked back and smiled: "Because I want to respect my opponent!" ”

In Xia Zhu's opinion, this sentence is completely redundant, even ridiculous.

Success or defeat is the best thing in the world, why should the emperor take the risk himself? As long as you protect your life, then the Great Song Dynasty has won the final victory, can the so-called respect put yourself in a dangerous situation?

This is Xia Zhu's literati thinking again, Zhao Zhen not only wants to respect the respectable opponent on the battlefield, but also to take down Yelu Zongzhen with his own hands, only in this way can he achieve the desired effect, the king of a country personally takes down the king of the enemy country, how much encouragement is this to the Great Song Dynasty, and how much a blow to the Liao Dynasty? !

When Zhao Zhen entered the battle, the guards worked hard to suppress the Tielin Army to the periphery of Yelu Zongzhen, and left the large open space in the battlefield to the emperors of the two empires, which was a respect for the imperial power and awe, and they did not dare to kill the king of a country at will no matter what, only their own emperor could do so.

Zhao Zhen was not in a hurry, looking at Yelu Zongzhen with a sword in both hands on his guard, at this time, there was not much opportunity to preemptively, and the longer it dragged on, the more Liao people would die, which invisibly gave Yelu Zongzhen more pressure.

The number of Liao people is getting smaller and smaller, through the more and more screams of the Khitan warriors, Yelu Zongzhen can judge it, when the screams completely disappear from the battlefield, Yelu Zongzhen knows that he has lost, the Great Song Emperor's personal guards have surrounded him, and the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen is standing opposite him, the corners of his mouth exude a smile, Yelu Zongzhen has always felt that Zhao Zhen's smile is very imperial temperament, as if the general trend of the world is in his square inch, but now he hates this smile, I even want to punch it!

"Why is the royal brother laughing?"

"When did I laugh?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Yelu Zong Zhen with a serious face: "What do I have to laugh at?" Is it because he has defeated you? It's not worth it! ”

Yelu Zongzhen's face was ugly, he didn't expect that in the end, the Great Song Emperor would still humiliate himself!

"Becoming a king or defeating a king, even if I lose, I will not become the target of humiliation for you Zhao Zhen! Do you dare to engage in a duel between warriors with me? ”

Zhao Zhen sighed slightly: "Duel? If you and I had done this sooner, not so many warriors would have lost their lives in vain. Do you think I've won? In fact, there are no winners in battlefield wars! My Great Song Dynasty can completely crush your Liao Dynasty, but it will take time, I don't want to wait to provoke a war, and your Liao Dynasty will be defeated before my Great Song Dynasty! ”

Yelu Zong really shouted angrily, "Why?! Could it be that you Han people are born to be unequal? ! ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "It's not that the Han people are superior, but it's only a matter of time before the strength of my Great Song Dynasty crushes your Liao Dynasty, from agriculture and people's livelihood to commercial goods, to the surplus of the treasury, and the armor of soldiers, which of your Liao Dynasty is my opponent of the Great Song Dynasty?" Do you know why I only took the land of the two states of the party and the people back then? ”

"Because you Da Song is always narrow-minded, and when you get a little benefit, you are complacent and refuse to enter!"

Zhao Zhen did not refute Yelu Zongzhen's words but nodded affirmatively: "That's right, what you said is very right, my Great Song Dynasty was like this in the past, I also wanted to encroach on Western Xia at that time, but in the end I found that it was basically impossible to encroach on Western Xia, once the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty occupied the land of the two states of the Dangxiang people, they rested on their laurels and no longer advanced, and they did not open up an inch of territory for so many years, which made me see the essence of the Han people, and I was accustomed to guarding the immediate interests, and it was difficult to do anything like aggression, This is also the reason why I did not take Datong Mansion to fight you in a decisive battle, but went north to take Fengsheng Prefecture. ”

Yelu Zongzhen's pupils shrank suddenly, he didn't expect the Great Song Emperor to make such a calculation, not to take down the entire Yanyun but to let the Great Song Dynasty go north! In this way, the goal of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Emperor this time is not only to recover Yanyun, but even to destroy this Great Liao!

"Why! Song and Liao between the two countries since the Tanyuan alliance will be each other's brother country, between the two countries to open a field to communicate with each other, my Liao people learn Han culture, you Song people buy my Da Liao specialties of the countryside, the people of the two countries live and work in peace and contentment, there is no sword and soldier disaster is not very good! ”

Innocence, this is Zhao Zhen's last evaluation to Yelu Zongzhen, maybe all this can become a reality when Yelu Zong is really alive, maybe it will last longer, but Zhao Zhen doesn't believe that those two countries can live in harmony like this.

This is an era of continuous progress and friction of civilization, survival of the fittest has become inevitable, the premise of peaceful coexistence is that the strength between the two countries is equal, and Zhao Zhen will not leave the Liao Dynasty to catch up with the Great Song Dynasty one day, even if he retreats, so that the Liao Dynasty catches up with the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, this balance will be broken sooner or later, and the war will happen again in time, it is better to end it when you can control it.

"What you said is too taken for granted, the Great Song Dynasty is constantly improving, and your Liao Dynasty is still maintaining its original appearance, since Xiao Yunjin has been in turmoil, your Great Liao has lost the prosperity of the Holy Emperor, you yourself should be able to see that the Liao Dynasty is now going downhill, this is not the status quo that you can change by one person, once your Liao Dynasty encounters a catastrophe, you will lose the Han etiquette you have learned, tear off the face and plane, and once again put on the war knife and stepped on the war horse to rob my Central Plains Dynasty!"

Zhao Zhen's words hit the real point of Yeluzong, and he himself knew what the nature of the Khitan people was like, so at this time, he could only stand speechless opposite Zhao Zhen and be silent......
