Chapter 658: Murder Night

Fengshengzhou is still the Fengsheng Prefecture of the Liao Dynasty after all, it is not like the land of the Han people like the land of Yanyun, but the grassland land dominated by the Liao people.

Although Fengshengzhou began to gradually build the city wall, but the time is still too short, the immigrants of the Great Song Dynasty have not yet arrived from the Central Plains, and there are still countless Liao herdsmen on the grassland, these are uncertain factors, although Zhao Zhen is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he cannot slaughter all the herdsmen of the Liao Dynasty.

It can be said that although the current Fengsheng Prefecture is under the control of the Great Song Dynasty, but in the eyes of the Liao people is full of holes, there is basically no natural defense on the grassland of Fengsheng Prefecture, especially in the north, only Yangcheng and Swallow City two lonely cities can be used as the key point of defense, even so it has no effect, the cavalry of the Great Liao can completely bypass the two cities and march south.

But further south, the steep mountains began to appear as barriers, Hu Tubai, Longmen Ershan will completely block the footsteps of the cavalry, so that the cavalry of the Great Liao is useless and can not play full combat power, but the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is not in the fortified city behind the mountains, but runs to the grassland of the Great Liao to hunt, this is not looking for death?

Yeluzong really knew that this was the best opportunity to defeat the Song army, as long as he could kill the Song emperor, then recovering Fengshengzhou Xijin Mansion was just a gesture, once the Song army retreated, it would be like Song Taizong back then, and he couldn't even hold the place he had already laid!

Laughing loudly on the back of the galloping horse, Yelu Zongzhen had already seen the dawn of victory, and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is stupid, he actually gave me such a good opportunity for Daliao, and the warriors of the Khitan followed me to kill the enemy!" Capture the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty alive for me! ”

Oh...... Oh......

The cavalry of the Liao Dynasty issued a unique temperament when hunting, and their familiarity with the grasslands of Fengshengzhou seemed to be galloping on the grassland of their own homes, although it was a surprise attack and there were not many manpower, but the team of 3,000 people to deal with the hunting of the Great Song Emperor was completely sufficient.

Through the campfire in the camp in the distance, the Liao people could quickly judge the number of Song people, but there were only more than 800 people, and these people were not enough for the army to cut down! The herdsmen of the Khitan once said that the hunting team here is very strange, the general hunting team likes to spread out, and strive to expand the scope of hunting, so as to have more prey to hunt, but this team is tightly encircled, not like hunting but more like protecting someone.

In Daliao, only Zhang Jian, who is a Han Chinese, explained the mystery in one sentence, and it must be the Song emperor hunting to have such a scene, the Han emperor hunted not for the purpose of hunting how much prey, but to enjoy the process of hunting, in other words, to pay more attention to their own safety than to hunt prey.

Yelu Zongzhen recalled Zhang Jian's words and couldn't help but smile disdainfully on the corners of his mouth, the Han people's greed for life and fear of death happened to become their target, which has to be said to be a huge irony, and the closer he got to the camp, the more excited he became.

Capturing the enemy emperor alive, how much of a war achievement and glory is this? The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty chose where to hunt badly, so he ran to the Mandarin Duck Park...... There is no danger to defend here, and it is also thirty miles away from the nearest swallow city, which is completely isolated and helpless!

Yelu Zongzhen's 100,000 army has quietly crossed the Aiyang River and bypassed Taoshan to reach the territory of Fengshengzhou, before the army is the grassland of Pingchuan, their goal is Yanzicheng and Yangcheng, the two key places in the north of Fengshengzhou, take these two places, it will open a gap for Datong Mansion in the south and Zhongjing Road in the north, and the reinforcements can enter Fengshengzhou unimpeded and approach Guihua Prefecture, Confucianism, and even Xijin Mansion!

This is the last battle of Da Liao, whether it can recover the land of Yanyun depends on this attack, Yelu Zongzhen has accumulated all the strength in Datong Mansion, and Shangjing Dao and Zhongjing Dao have also sent all the elite troops of Da Liao to encircle Fengsheng Prefecture and Xijin Mansion.

Yeluzong was really proud, the Song Emperor's plan had been seen through by himself, and it seemed that the Fengshengzhou and Xijin Mansion taken by the Great Song Dynasty surrounded Datong Mansion, but in fact, the Great Song Dynasty was not surrounded by the Great Liao?

He deliberately played a big game of chess, pretending to be defeated and retreating to Datong Mansion, in order to let the Song people transfer the direction of their attack to Datong Mansion, but who knew that he Zhao Zhen actually used troops to serve Shengzhou, didn't he fall into his own hands?

Compared with the terrain of the dangerous Xijin Mansion, Fengshengzhou is more suitable for the cavalry of the Great Liao, and it is also more conducive to the encirclement of the Great Liao, the Great Song Emperor made a fatal mistake, no matter how tempting the pastures of Fengshengzhou are to the Great Song Dynasty, it belongs to the hinterland of the Great Liao after all.

Zhao Zhen's stinky move made Yelu Zong really a little incomprehensible, but since it was Da Liao's opportunity, he would never let it go, the speed of the cavalry had been increased to the extreme, the violent wind blew in his ears, and the Khitan warriors on horseback bent their bodies and tried to maintain the best sprint speed.

The cavalry led by Yelu Zongzhen are the elite of the elite, the Tielin Army selected by the most brave and warlike warriors in the palace tent army, they are Yelu Zongzhen's most lethal troops, and they are also the heavy armored cavalry formed against the Great Song Dynasty plate armored cavalry.

There is a big difference between the so-called Tielin Army and the other cavalry of the Liao Dynasty, not only the warriors on horseback are heroic, but even the equipment on the body is quite different, in order to deal with Zhao Zhen's plate cavalry, Yelu Zongzhen also strengthened the equipment of the Tielin Army.

The first is to add complete harness to the horses, the second is to equip the horse armor, the third is the harder armor of the cold-forged armor that has been improved by the cavalry armor, and the fourth is to use armor-piercing weapons for combat weapons, sharp spears, and thick bones can effectively break armor.

But in this way, the speed of the horse was sacrificed as a price, and the heavy vest and heavy weapons became the fetters of the Khitan horse.

Even this is worth it, after all, they are facing the Great Song cavalry armed to the teeth, and all the Tielin Army has to do is to defeat them on the battlefield, not surpass them in speed.

The rumbling hooves of the Tielin army were like the roar of a beast, the imperial tent of the Great Song Emperor was in front of them, and the Tielin army of the Liao Dynasty seemed to see the victory, speeding up the sprint, they didn't think about retreating at all, as long as they could capture or kill the Great Song Emperor, they would win the battle.

Airplanes...... Airplanes...... Airplanes......

A tooth-sour voice sounded, and the knight who was familiar with the Song army immediately roared: "Raise your shield!" ”

This is the sound of the bowstring of the Great Song Dynasty's divine arm crossbow, and the Liao army has a deep understanding of the power of the divine arm crossbow, and it can be said to be an intangible, untouchable nightmare in the heart of the Liao army. The sound of swishing crossbow arrows breaking through the air was like the screams of death.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, Yelu Zongzhen and Zhao Zhen looked up at the sky almost at the same time, the dark clouds slowly covered the moon, and the two muttered: "The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills!" ”
