Di Qing and the others only hated that the horses under their crotch were not strong enough, and the armor on their bodies was not strong enough, otherwise they could break through Tongtai Pass and rush all the way to Shangjing in Liao.

Di Qing led the Tiger Army to rush out of the trail and met the Liao soldiers patrolling the Liao State.

The Liao soldiers patrolling the Liao State heard the scout's report and said that there was an enemy, and they wanted to come and clean up one or two.

But after seeing the full lineup of Di Qing and others, they were so frightened that they immediately turned around and ran.

What kind of soldiers and horses were behind the tiger army led by Di Qing, the Liao soldiers didn't look closely, just the iron cavalry of the front army, it was enough to scare them into fleeing in embarrassment.

Heavy Armor Ride!

The big killer of the cavalry charging into battle, heavy armored cavalry!

Without making sufficient preparations in advance, the rangers of the Liao State faced the heavy armored cavalry and confronted them head-on, which was no different from looking for death.

Even if sitting on horseback is the Song people they look down on.

The Liao soldiers bumped into Di Qing and his party and wanted to escape.

But Di Qing didn't give them a chance to escape.

Although the Tiger Army was not equipped with muskets, it was equipped with hand crossbows.

Di Qing and the others pursued behind the Liao soldiers, drew their crossbows, and shot at them fiercely.

Those who run fast naturally escaped their lives, and those who run slowly have become ghosts under the arrow.

Some of them who were not shot fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the iron hooves that rushed up from behind.

Hundreds of pounds of weight were crushed over them one by one.

In the end, they become a pile of minced meat.

Di Qing estimated that two pillars of incense could rush to the Tongtai Pass, but in fact, it only took one and a half pillars of incense in the end.

The reason why the speed was faster than Di Qing estimated was also because they met the Liao soldiers on the way they charged.

The Tiger Army is worthy of the name of the Tiger Character, and seeing the Liao soldiers is like a hungry tiger seeing a sheep.

They urged the war horses under their crotches to rush forward, just to be able to rush in front of the Liao soldiers and give them a knife.

A single knife was enough to take the lives of Liao soldiers.

The knives in their hands were very sharp, and they could easily cut through the leather armor of the Liao soldiers and cut at their flesh and blood.

The Liao soldiers were either hacked to death on the spot, or after being cut down, they were not rescued, and they died of excessive blood loss.

When Di Qing and the others rushed to the bottom of Tongtai Pass, the guards of Tongtai Pass appeared on the gate in a panic.

"Song Jun?!"

"How could Song Jun appear in Tongtai Pass?!"

The Tongtai guard looked at the tiger army led by Di Qing in disbelief.

Since the failure of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi's three northern expeditions, the traces of the Song army have completely disappeared from Daliao.

The Song army did not dare to set foot in Liaodi for decades.

Once a Song army set foot in Liao, there was no need for Da Liao to do anything, and the emperor of the Song State would send someone to cut off the heads of those Song troops and send them to Da Liao to appease the anger of Da Liao.

The guards of Tongtai Pass have long forgotten the appearance of the Song army's invasion of Liaodi.

Maybe he's not the only one.

Most of the Liao people have forgotten what the Song army looked like when they invaded Liao.

After all, decades have passed since the days when the Song State was baring its teeth to the Great Liao.

Decades are enough time to make many people forget many things.

In their eyes, Song Guo is a big fat pig locked in a pigsty by them, and when he is hungry, he can go over and cut a piece and roast it to eat.

They never thought that the pigs they raised would grow fangs and eat them back.

When the Tongtai guard saw the tiger army led by Di Qing, he was in disbelief at first, and then he was angry, and before he could vent his anger, a panic rose in his heart.

"Quick!"

"Defend yourself against the enemy!"

"Quick!"

The Tongtai guards will panic and roar loudly on the gate.

The defenders in Tongtai Pass came out to defend against the enemy in a panic with blades and armor.

For a while, sporadic rain of arrows fell.

Di Qing and the others rushed to the head of the city, and sent twenty horsemen to rush out, and against the scattered arrows falling from the city, they crossed the trench with the help of a long ladder and cut the iron cable on the suspension bridge.

After the rope was cut, the drawbridge crashed to the ground with a thud.

"Bang ......"

The crossbow archers who followed closely followed, and the bed crossbow was a fierce shot.

One by one, the crossbow spears pierced into the city walls.

The jumpers rushed along the drawbridge, climbed their crossbow guns, and climbed to the top of the city.

"Quick! Kill them! ”

The Tongtai guards shouted in panic.

The Liao soldiers were holding swords and bows, and they were shooting hard.

However, the jumping soldiers in the Song army surged upwards like a tide.

The Liao soldiers could not be killed at all without the help of deadly weapons such as rolling wood, stones, and gold juice.

"Bang!"

Just when the Liao soldiers on the Tongtai Pass struggled to resist the jumping soldiers who climbed on the city wall.

The auxiliaries of the Tiger Army have already pushed the siege chisel across the drawbridge.

The huge log was pushed by the soldiers and slammed into the gate of Tongtaiguan.

Again and again, one crater after another was smashed into the gate.

The Tongtai guard felt the slamming smash on his heart, and he panicked so much that he immediately sent more men to guard the city gate.

It's just that his order to send more men has not yet been delivered.

The Jumpers had already jumped on the city.

The confrontation between the two sides has changed from bows and arrows to hand-to-hand combat.

Hand-to-hand combat unfolded in every part of the city.

A jumping soldier rushed to the Tongtai guard under the nose, and the Tongtai guard had to personally take action and fight with the jumping soldier.

Hand-to-hand combat was very tragic.

In order to make it easier to climb the city, the jumping soldiers wore light armor, and the only protective tool they could rely on was a small round shield in their hands.

The two sides come and go, and the blood of killing gushes out.

"Bang!"

A collision sounded distinctly different from the rest.

The Tongtai guards who are tearing up will be shocked.

"The gates are broken?!"

"The gates are broken!"

The Tongtai guard will be stunned and muttered to himself.

The auxiliary soldiers of the Tiger Army under the head of the city are roaring hard.

Both sides said the same thing, but their minds were completely different.

After the city gate was smashed, the auxiliary soldiers of the Tiger Army brutally pushed the siege chisel and rushed in.

The Liao soldiers at the gate of the city had no way to tear them apart, so they could only be forced to retreat again and again by the siege chisels.

The moment Di Qing broke through the city gate, he barely hesitated, raised his spear, and led the iron cavalry to rush in.

"Kill it! Leave no prisoners! ”

Di Qing led the iron cavalry and rushed into Tongtai Pass in a swarm.

The reason why he didn't leave prisoners was not because Di Qing was thirsty for killing, but because he was sneak attacking, so he didn't bring much grain and grass.

When the army led by Cao Wei did not take the entire territory of Zhuozhou, it was very difficult for him to replenish grain and grass.

He couldn't afford to keep that many captives.

By the time the iron cavalry rushed into Tongtai Pass, the battle was over.

Di Qing led the iron cavalry, from the gate of the city, rushed to the other gate, the Liao soldiers in the pass, had been killed.

When some Liao soldiers were breached at Tongtai Pass, they fled through the back door on horseback.

The Liao people are accustomed to the idea of not caring about the gains and losses of one city and one place, so they will definitely not defend a closed city.

If nothing can be done, they will definitely evacuate decisively.

Half of the Liao soldiers in Guancheng fled after Di Qing rushed into Guancheng.

The Liao soldiers at the head of the city had no way to escape.

Peng Yue climbed up the stairs in the city and cut off the head of the Tongtai guard with a knife, and the battle was over.

The remaining Liao soldiers at the head of the city asked for surrender.

Di Qing instructed Peng Yue to take them down to the city and kill them all in one go.

Subsequently, Di Qing quickly sent people to clean up the battlefield and redeployed the defense of Tongtai Pass.

Tongtai Pass changed hands, and the defenders at the head of the city became soldiers of the Tiger Army.

On the head of the city, the tiger flag given by Zhao Zhenqin and Di Qing's Di character flag were hung.

After the war, Peng Yue found Di Qing very excitedly, and said excitedly: "General, we have won, we have won Tongtai Pass." ”

Although Di Qing was young, he didn't show any excitement because he broke the Tongtai Pass, and he said to Peng Yue: "We thought that we had a heart and no intention, we went out day and night, and we got the help of nobles, and we were caught off guard by Tongtai Pass, and it was inevitable to take Tongtai Pass, so there is nothing to be excited about."

If we hadn't gotten the help of nobles and quietly touched nearly 20 miles to Tongtai Pass, it wouldn't have been so easy to take Tongtai Pass.

This battle really has to be judged, and it is also the old man who is the first to take credit, not us. ”

When Peng Yue heard Di Qing's words, his heart was much less excited, and he said in a deep voice: "The general is right, we can take Tongtai Pass, and that old man has made great contributions."

The lowly has already sent someone to invite him, and he will be in the city later. ”

Di Qing nodded and ordered: "When the old man enters the Guancheng, you look at the arrangement for the old man to stay, you ask the old man to see if the old man has any other family members, if there is, you send someone to pick up the Tongtai Pass to live."

My husband has helped us so much, and I can't guarantee that we will be found out by others.

Now we have not taken the whole territory of Zhuozhou, and my father-in-law's family is still living under the rule of the Liao.

If the Liao people knew that the old man had helped us, they would definitely deal with his family.

So we have to take the lead and take my father-in-law's family over. ”

Peng Yue nodded solemnly.

Di Qing continued: "Our breakthrough is not a real vicious battle. The real battle is yet to come. Cao Shuai led the Chinese army in less than a day, and we could be counterattacked by the Liao at any time.

It is even possible to suffer from a heavy siege on both sides and a scene of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses attacking.

Therefore, after you settled the old man, you immediately sent people to strengthen the city wall of Tongtaiguan, and prepared rolling wood, gravel and other things.

Hundreds of tigers rushed together, bed crossbows, and other ordnance, according to my command, and set up on the head of the city. ”

"Humble duty understands ......"

"Go for it."

After Peng Yue left, Di Qing took a piece of paper, picked up a pen, and wrote the news of the breaking of Tongtai Pass on it, and then sent someone to use a fast horse to pass the news to Cao Wei.

One day and one night later.

Cao Wei got the good news from Di Qing.

"Hahaha...... The first battle was successful, Di Qing took Tongtai Pass, paving the way for our army to clear Zhuozhou. ”

Cao Wei took the good news sent by Di Qing and laughed loudly.

The victory in the first battle is indeed a thing to be happy about.

After Cao Wei laughed, he immediately gave an order, "Pass the order, the army will divide into three routes, attack from the left, center and right, and wipe out all the cities in Zhuozhou." After taking Zhuozhou, they met at Tongtai Pass. ”

After Cao Wei finished conveying the military order, Lu Yijian smiled at Cao Wei and said: "As long as Di Qing can defend Tongtai Pass before we rush to Tongtai Pass, Zhuozhou will be the territory of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Cao Wei said with a smile: "This is the advantage of being the first to attack, the army led by Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu is estimated to have only arrived in Youzhou City, and we have already included Zhuozhou in our pockets." ”

Lu Yijian nodded and said with emotion: "In the past, the Liao people invaded the south and broke through the land of our Great Song Dynasty, and we reacted. ”

When Cao Wei heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "This is to blame for the incompetence of those defenders, and also to blame for the ignorance of those governors." The Liao people went south, and they thought that the Liao people were going south to fight the grass valley, and they would retreat after plundering for a while, so after the Liao army appeared on the border, they did not report to the court as soon as possible, which made the court miss many opportunities. ”

Lu Yijian smacked his lips and said: "What the Liao people used on us in the past is now used by us on them, which can be regarded as a kind of retribution." ”

When Cao Wei heard this, he was speechless, he didn't believe in retribution.

Seeing that Cao Wei was silent, Lu Yijian spoke: "Cao Shuai must be vigilant to the soldiers under his command, and he must not be proud and complacent. ”

Cao Wei nodded solemnly, "I understand." ”

Why Lu Yijian said this, Cao Wei knew it in his heart.

The roots are in Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi conquered the Liao State three times, entered Yanyun three times, and each time he was able to break through the land of Yanyun several states.

However, every time it is untenable.

As long as the Liao people seized the opportunity and defeated the Chinese army of the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, the Great Song had to withdraw from Yanyun and return the land of several states that they had obtained before.

The Liao people abandoned the land of several states and lured the enemy deep three times.

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi was planted in the same pit three times.

Such a painful lesson is naturally worth taking as a warning to Cao Wei and others to avoid making the same mistakes.

……

After Cao Wei got the news that Tongtai Pass was broken, it took two days for Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to get the news that Tongtai Pass was broken.

As soon as the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu arrived in Youzhou City with soldiers and horses, he heard the news that Tongtai Pass was broken, and his face was gloomy and terrible for a while.

In the palace.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sat on the dragon chair and stared at the figure kneeling in the middle of the main hall with a gloomy face.

"The copper platform is broken?"

The figure was a general who escaped from Tongtai Pass to lead the troops, and when he heard the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's question, he trembled and said, "Broken ...... Broken ......"

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu looked at him and said coldly: "Then why are you still alive?" ”

The tooth general was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my Liao people never care......"

Without waiting for his words to finish, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu snorted coldly.

Immediately, a general in the palace stood up and slashed him to death.

After watching the tooth general die of anger, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said coldly to the civil and military forces in the palace: "I, the Liao people, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place.

But is Tongtaiguan an ordinary city and land?

If we lose Tongtaiguan, we will lose the opportunity.

If we lose Tongtai Pass, we will lose the entire Zhuozhou.

How many Tongtai passes in my Daliao can be handed over?

How many Zhuozhou are there to lose?

If the guards of Guancheng in my Daliao see the Song people and give up the Guancheng, then how can I still gain a foothold in Daliao? ”

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu looked at the ministers, and said coldly: "I lost Tongtai Pass, handed over the entire Zhuozhou to others, and was embarrassed to lick my face in front of me, saying that my Liao people don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place?"

That's what I'm qualified to say, and you don't. ”
