Yelu Zongzhen led the army to withdraw quickly, Juyong Pass could not go, Changping, and the victory pass were also under the strict defense of the sixteen guards of the Great Song Dynasty, which seemed to be blocking the retreat of the Liao army, but in fact, it was also to stop the army that came to reinforce in the Liao Dynasty.

An army of 160,000 is enough to form a strong defensive line on the Song-Liao border, and Yelu Zong is really not stupid, why should he go to the front when he knows that there is an enemy in the rear?

He still has an army of more than 100,000 people in his hands, and he can be stationed safely when he transfers to Datong Mansion, and replenish his troops while getting supplies, so that the price of Da Song Dynasty to take Datong Mansion is simply incalculable.

From the previous conversation with Zhao Zhen, Yelu Zongzhen learned an important news, the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen told him so much that he wanted to make him mistakenly think that Li Yuanhao would come to fish in troubled waters, even if he was stupid, he would not fall for this kind of clumsy deception, what the Great Song Dynasty cared about was Yan Yun, and he would inevitably wave his troops to Datong Mansion.

Instead of leading his troops all the way back to the Liao Dynasty, it is better to transfer to Datong Mansion and slowly consume with the Great Song Dynasty.

The defending side always has an advantage, before he attacked the Xijin Mansion when he tasted the bitterness of the attack, the Great Song Dynasty relied on the danger of the city wall, and forcibly consumed the 60,000 or 70,000 troops of the Great Liao, if they were all slave troops, it would be forgotten, including many Khitans, which made Yelu Zongzhen very distressed.

Later, in order to get rid of the Song people, in the battle with the Great Song Emperor, the army lost more than 10,000 people, these people are quite elite Chinese troops!

Now that he and the Great Song Dynasty have switched positions for attack and defense, Yelu Zong really believes that he has the ability to hold the Great Song Dynasty army while holding the Datong Mansion, and when the Great Liao eases up, it will be the time for the inside and the outside to attack the northwest!

Yelu Zongzhen understood the advantages of the Great Song Dynasty and his own shortcomings in the process of confronting the Great Song Dynasty, the advantage of the Great Song army lies in the equipment on the body, and these equipment are from the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and the army of the Great Liao has not changed much since the founding of Taizu, and now it is suddenly armed to the teeth with an army like the Great Song Dynasty, how can it not suffer?

And Yelu Zongzhen also understood a truth from Zhao Zhen's words, every country has its own good things, Da Liao is founded on hunting and grazing, and the men of Da Liao are warriors who stay on horseback all year round, and they should not give up the precious wealth left by their ancestors.

During this time, Da Liao copied the Great Song Dynasty from the government to the agricultural and mulberry production, and even learned the arrogance and luxury, and the children of Da Liao in the capital walked on the street, and those who didn't know thought it was a Han man!

Yelu Zong, who calmed down, really felt that what Zhao Zhen said was very right, the Great Song Dynasty couldn't learn that set of Great Liao, once it became the same as the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be the same as the Great Song Dynasty to give up the advantages of the Great Liao and become the same as the Great Song Dynasty? At that time, the Great Song Dynasty had already left Da Liao far behind.

Thinking of this, Yelu Zongzhen felt a little shuddered, the so-called sinicization has appeared in Daliao, from dressing and eating, to poetry and songs, the good poems of Tokyo City appeared today, and within two days, they could be spread in the capital of Daliao!

The Liao people are throwing away what they have been, including faith! The Khitans who originally worshipped shamanism now almost all believe in Buddhism, even Yelu Zongzhen himself is no exception!

Not to mention those Han classics and red tape, Da Liao learns faster and more refined, lest it be said that it is a monkey and a crown.

Now it seems that all this is really a big joke, the more you care, the more the consequences are more and more similar, there are already many nobles in the Khitan who can't get on horses, can't open bows, learn from the Han people in the ya, chant poems, lyrics, drink wine hairpins......

The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is right, the Liao Dynasty not only can not be the same as the Great Song Dynasty, but also cannot become the same as the Great Song Dynasty, the current Liao Dynasty still has the strength to fight with the Great Song Dynasty, and after a few years, the goods of the Great Song Dynasty have become inseparable from the Great Liao, and the lifeblood of the entire Great Liao will be in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty!

First lost Yanyun, will the next step be Zhongjing Road, or even Shangjing Road?!

Yelu Zongzhen, who was riding on horseback, pinched the whip tightly, and he remembered another sentence from Zhao Zhen: "The only way out for the Liao Dynasty in the future is to be assigned to the Great Song Dynasty!" These words pierced Yeluzong's heart like a knife.

"Xiao Hui, do you say that the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty is above my Great Liao? …… To tell the truth, there is no need to hide it in front of me, what I want is the truth! ”

Xiao Hui, who originally planned to comfort the emperor, said with a straight face: "Actually, the old minister has long wanted to play to His Majesty, and he held back all the way, since His Majesty wants to listen to the truth, the old minister obeys the order!" ”

Xiao Hui, who sighed a little and sorted out his thoughts, spoke again: "From the perspective of the formation, Lao Chen feels that the Song cavalry formation is reborn and foot soldiers, mostly based on intensive charges, and the weapons used are also open and closed soldiers, such as spears and the like, coupled with horizontal knives to kill the enemy, the heavy armor and sharp blades are magnificent, and my Daliao army is not as good as ......."

Xiao Hui said as he spoke, quietly raised his head and glanced at Yelu Zongzhen, and when he saw that his face was as usual, he continued to speak: "Although the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty is not good at riding, such a charge is unavoidable by the knights of the Liao Dynasty.

After the cuirassier is even more headache, although the armor they created is not as good as the heavy cavalry, but the cuirass on the body is strong and abnormal, the Great Song Dynasty does not need them to rush to break the formation, there is no risk of crossbow arrows, and my Khitan warriors are more than kung fu, a set of heavy cuirass will take a big advantage. ”

Yelu Zongzhen nodded with an ugly face: "So my cavalry of Da Liao is not as good as the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty?!" ”

Xiao Hui shook his head: "It's not what Your Majesty thinks, my Great Liao cavalry still has enough advantage on the battlefield, although the speed of the Great Song cavalry is not slow, and the armor on the body is really powerful, but such a cavalry has one of the biggest weaknesses, it is not as flexible as my Great Liao, if you don't fight with them head-on, and use the method of roundabout wandering, it will make the Great Song cavalry tired!" ”

Yelu Zongzhen nodded, that's right, flexibility is what the Great Song Heavy Armored Cavalry lacks the most.

Xiao Hui was happy to see that Yelu Zongzhen agreed with his statement, Your Majesty is planning to adopt new countermeasures against the Great Song cavalry!

"His Majesty the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty also saw it, the biggest benefit is the equipment on the body, the advantage of the horse is not very big, but these equipment is heavy, once the horse falls off the horse, it is a lamb to be slaughtered, my Da Liao should be the same as the Great Song Dynasty, the cavalry is equipped with infantry at the same time! But it is not a strange swordsman like the Great Song Dynasty, but a flexible and fast light infantry. ”

As soon as Xiao Hui mentioned the Mo Dao Hand, Yelu Zong's face really became very ugly: "The Mo Dao Hand of the Great Song Dynasty is really invincible, there are only a few thousand people, but like a million iron horses, I am shocked, the white blade frost flies, the red blood star flows, blocking its sword, everyone and horses are broken!"

If I have such an army in my hands, and cooperate with my Daliao Iron Cavalry, although the world is big, I will be able to go! ”
