Chapter 615: Is it a blessing for Seong to lose his horse?
Zhao Zhen's face was extremely ugly, he didn't want to kill Yelu Zongzhen, this emperor who was six years younger than him was still a pretty good person, at least through the conversation just now Zhao Zhen felt that he was a responsible, idealistic, and ambitious person.
But it's a pity that the emperor is like this, there is no so-called friend, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Zhen had to give such an order, I believe that Yelu Zongzhen will also be like this, and to keep the enemy's hand on the battlefield is not responsible for himself and his subordinates.
It is the duty of the soldiers to carry out the order, not to mention the order of Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the veterans of the Qin Wei Division have become accustomed to Zhao Zhen's command, and without thinking about it, they untied the gunpowder bullets equipped on their bodies, ignited them with a fire fold and threw them at the Chinese army of the Liao Dynasty opposite.
Peng Qi looked at Zhao Zhen dumbfounded, even he thought that the official family and the Liao Emperor would avoid fighting after the conversation just now, who knew that he would actually kill him after laughing and saying goodbye, and for a moment Peng Qi even felt that the so-called sympathy between the emperors was very worthless, maybe this was the emperor......
The burning gunpowder bullet crossed a perfect arc in the air and landed on the Chinese army of the Liao Dynasty, the distance between the two armies was not far away, and the gunpowder bullet was completely within the throwing range, so the Chinese army of the Liao Dynasty broke out a violent explosion, and the scene was spectacular to make people suspect that the big star had fallen.
The explosion and vibration of the gunpowder bullet made the Liao Dynasty military horses, which had never been in contact with them, become restless, and the knights on the horses could no longer control them, and although the military horses of the Great Song Dynasty were also a little flustered, they were relatively better after training.
The most feared thing in the army is the chaos of the horses, they will start to run aimlessly with the knights on the horses, the large array of the Chinese army of the Liao Dynasty was obviously damaged a lot by the bombardment of gunpowder shells, although there were not many casualties, but the Liao people in the chaos gave the Song army a chance, Zhao Zhen did not hesitate to draw his sword and rush towards the gap.
Although the war had calmed down a little after the conversation between the two emperors, the intensity of the war climbed to a fever pitch when the hoplites of the Great Song Dynasty arrived.
They are another trump card unit in Di Qing's hands, a heavily armored Mo swordsman!
They exist to cooperate with the hoplites and cuirassiers, if the hoplites are the spears used to break the formation, and the cuirassiers are the swords that harvest the enemy, then the heavy armor Mo swordsmen are the broadswords that cut and kill the enemy.
When he saw them, even Zhao Zhen's hairs stood up, and the black black armor with a slight red color condensed on it like countless blood, and the whole person only showed a pair of black eyes.
Armed not only with a sword, but also with a small shield on their left arm, and with an iron stand-up collar raised high, these guys are completely mobile castles.
The infantry of the Great Song Dynasty is the strongest infantry in the world, there is no doubt about this, in order to fight against the Liao people, the party people, the infantry system of the Great Song Dynasty must be perfected, otherwise it would have been crushed by the iron cavalry of the nomads.
The military formation is the characteristic of the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty, and in this world, the military formation is invincible!
The original defeat of the Great Song Dynasty was due to the defeat of the cavalry to the Liao, even if the infantry army formation was victorious, it also chased and supplemented the enemy's cavalry, unable to expand the results of the battle, and once pursued, it would be a large number of good physical strength of the hoplites, so that they would be killed by the enemy's return rifles.
Now it is different, the Great Song Dynasty has two powerful mobile units, heavy cavalry and cuirassiers, and the role of the heavy infantry is to stabilize the position of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zhen took the Guards Division and the Tabai Army to tie up the Liao people's Chinese army, but soon he found that he had underestimated the Liao people's riding skills and experience, and they were completely deceived just now!
When he led the Chinese army into the Liao array, he saw Yelu Zongzhen laughing and shouting under the escort of the leather room army: "The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is here, and I captured him!" Reward the hereditary replacement of the marquis of ten thousand households!! ”
As soon as these words came out, the army of the Liao Dynasty frantically rushed towards Zhao Zhen's Chinese army, and Di Qing was trying to reinforce Zhao Zhen's place, but the Liao army's army was like a tide to stop them at all costs.
The lone army led by Zhao Zhen has already committed a taboo in the army, how can the Liao people let go of such a good opportunity?
The Liao army continued to attack Zhao Zhen's Chinese army, and the Song people were shocked by their attitude of sacrificing their lives and forgetting their deaths, and Di Qing could only help Zhao Zhen's Chinese army and give up the encirclement of the Liao flank......
When Zhao Zhen saw Di Qing appear not far away, his heart was cold! It's over, but this time it's the big Song Dynasty......
Sure enough, this was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, Yelu Zongzhen deliberately sold the flaw to let Zhao Zhen rush into the army with the Chinese army, so as to reduce the pressure on the flank, and use a part of the soldiers to drag the offensive of the entire Great Song army.
The emperor's status in the army is too high, seeing the existence of threatening Zhao Zhen, any general will be desperate to help the Chinese army, so he gave the Liao people a chance to get out, when the horn of the Liao retreat sounded, Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly, I didn't expect that a deception he carefully designed was finally broken by Yelu Zongzhen......
The speed of the Liao retreat was very fast, and the Great Song cavalry, which had slowed down, did not have enough time to accelerate and sprint, and it was difficult to catch up with the Liao people who were like the wind, Zhao Zhen looked at the dead Liao people, at most there were only more than 10,000 people, and Yelu Zongzhen still withdrew safely with his hundreds of thousands of troops.
Originally, Zhao Zhen planned to leave the army of the Liao Dynasty, but he didn't expect Yelu Zongzhen to see through his well-designed game, this kind of thing is like this, once it is seen through, it is worthless.
Yelu Zongzhen with the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands will definitely not withdraw from Juyong Pass, where there are the sixteen guards of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is only one direction to go, Datong Mansion!
Looking at Di Qing's ashamed look, Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "It's not your fault in this matter, it's my fault!" Fortunately, my plan is far more than one, he Yeluzong really knows that I plan to attack Datong Mansion, and the direction of this withdrawal must be Datong in the west, so we can calmly seize Fengsheng Prefecture of the Liao people! ”
"Your Majesty, why don't we take Datong directly and take the Fengsheng Prefecture of the Liao people, where the cities are not many inconvenient to defend."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "If you can't defend it, you have to take it down, and find a way to defend it!" That is the future horse breeding land of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the frontier of the Great Song Dynasty against the Liao Dynasty in the future, I will not put the prosperous Xijin Mansion in the position of rushing, otherwise it will become mutton by the tiger's mouth?! ”
In Zhao Zhen's eyes, Fengsheng Prefecture is an important far more than Datong Prefecture, and after taking this Chahar Plain, hundreds of thousands of high-quality military horses can be used for the Great Song Dynasty, especially the Arab war horses imported from Abbas, and the horse breeding land obtained from Western Xia is no longer enough to meet the needs of the Great Song Dynasty.
Although Yelu Zongzhen ran to Datong Mansion, did Saiong know if he was blessed? Taking the Great Song Dynasty of Fengshengzhou is equivalent to erecting a barrier on the Xijing Road of the Liao people, cutting off the connection between Xijing Road and Zhongjing Road and Shangjing Road, which is Zhao Zhen's ultimate goal, and the rest is just to fool Yelu Zongzhen.
This is a naked conspiracy, Yelu Zongzhen has to jump into it even if he knows it, he will not risk the entire Yanyun being taken away by the Great Song Dynasty. Datong Mansion is the last territory of the Liao Dynasty in Yanyun, once lost, it means the loss of the entire Yanyun, Yelu Zongzhen has to keep Datong Mansion even if he is helpless.
