"Your Majesty, Xiao Tanggu, Yelulidi and other twenty-three generals will retreat without authorization."

"Behead the public." Yelu Dashi pulled out the saber at his waist, handed it to Yelu Tiege, the privy envoy of the Northern Court, and said in a deep voice: "You bring three thousand guards to guard behind, and if anyone retreats without permission, he will be killed immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Yelu Tiege retreated with his saber in his hand, and the faces of the generals around him were all pale. Yelu Dashi took a deep breath, and in the distance, the Jurchen cavalry came overwhelmingly, and the dismounted soldiers held shields and scimitars, and attacked the Liao army one after another. In front of the second camp hastily constructed by the Liao army, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were lying down, and the ground was stained purple and red with blood, while the Jurchen soldiers still rushed forward regardless of life and death. Not long after, the heads of the generals who retreated without permission hung up, but many Liao soldiers still showed timidity.

"These barbarians are so capable of fighting!" Yelu Dashi was secretly frightened, "No wonder with the courage of the soldiers and horses of Tokyo Dao, he has also been repeatedly defeated by the hands of the Jurchens. He raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked ahead, there seemed to be a movement on the artillery fort of the former army that had just fallen, the gunner was hurriedly aiming the artillery at this side, Yelu Dashi's face sank, called the guard, and the horse whip pointed to the artillery fort in front and said: "Let Yeluguan lead the men and horses to rush up and execute all these rebels!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I only heard the sound of cannons, "Boom! "Boom!" Dozens of shells were fired from that position at the same time and fell in the dense Liao army. Everywhere the shells went, there was a wail. The stone bullet is strong and heavy, as if Mount Tai is pressing the top, it is a blur of flesh and blood when it falls, the iron bullet does not seem to be big, it flies out of an arc in the air, but all of them are rubbed and touched by it, they are all stumps and broken hands, and even one is still beating a few times, penetrating more than a dozen Liao soldiers, and the lethality is much greater than the huge stone bullet. The Liao army and the Jin soldiers were crowded in front of the second barracks, and when they were shelled down by this round of shelling, the front line suddenly loosened. Many Liao soldiers were not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, but they were unavoidable, and the shells that would kill them made people tremble.

"Good!" Zhao Xingde praised excitedly, pointing to the sun and moon flag symbolizing the emperor of Liao, "Shoot at full speed!" ”

The gunners did not dare to slack off, and after adjusting the aim slightly, they immediately urged the gunners to reload their ammunition. At this time, in addition to the original 14 three-inch guns, 18 heavy guns of the Liao army were added, and the effective range of a total of 32 heavy guns was enough to reach the camp of Yelu Dashi. The artillery men of the Xia State and the Han army reloaded extremely quickly and accurately, and bombarded the enemy camp as if they had pre-positioned targets. Chai Yi saw it in his eyes, and secretly admired in his heart, he had already commanded his subordinates to bombard the emperor's imperial tent, and there was no way to retreat, and he could only serve the Han army wholeheartedly at this time.

The golden soldiers in the front were helped by artillery, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted. It seems that the generals such as Wanyan Di Gunai, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Lou Room were all personally stubbornly sharpened and led their personal guards to storm the Liao army camp. Under the bitter and vicious fighting, the Liao army gradually could not support it, and some places began to retreat. The cannonballs fell one after another around the Sun and Moon Banner, getting closer and closer, and Yelu Dashi stood motionless under the Sun and Moon Banner, looking at the artillery fortress with a blue face.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The sound of artillery rang out again, and countless cannonballs flying out of the black smoke flew over the heads of the Jin soldiers and fell into the Liao army camp. Because the cannonball does not fly fast, it can be seen clearly by almost all eyes, but as long as it passes, even if it is heavily armoured, it will either be killed or injured. At this time, the Liao army was already frightened, and when they saw the shells flying towards this side, they immediately avoided one after another, "Run!" "Ugh!" The crying father and mother broke up.

Because of this continuous shelling, the Jurchen army and the Liao army were unable to hold each other, and the battle situation was suddenly broken. In particular, the Liao army's resistance was the most stubborn, and the imperial account camp with the most dense soldiers was dealt the heaviest blow. The Khitan warriors are not afraid of fighting the enemy face to face, but in the face of this artillery shell that cannot be resisted by manpower and is much more powerful than a bed crossbow, the morale of the army has been overdrawn to the limit. If it weren't for Yelu Yanshan, Guo Baoyi and other generals desperately maintaining the army and fighting and retreating, I am afraid that the whole army would have collapsed long ago.

"The enemy's artillery is powerful, please retreat for a while!" Yelu Yanshan, who was covered in blood, rushed back and exhorted loudly, "The country cannot be without His Majesty for a day!" Yelu Dashi looked at the pro-entourage generals, was silent for a moment, and then looked ahead, the Liao army's defense line was constantly collapsing, and arrows and shells were flying over their heads. A cold air enveloped his body, and a trace of ominous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Retreat? Still not returning? At the time of the dilemma, the rear army suddenly came to report that Yelu Tiege had gathered more than 10,000 horsemen to gather more than 10,000 cavalry, ready to attack the Jin soldiers, and Yelu Bijie, the capital of the rear army, used the rear army camp to build a barracks. Because the second camp was within the range of the guns of the Jin Kingdom, the privy envoy of the Northern Court asked His Majesty to stand back and urge the troops to defend the third barracks.

"Good!" Yelu Dashi ordered to the generals in a deep voice: "You wait to lead the army to retreat first, and I will lead the palace tent guards to break off!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"This is a military order!" Yelu Dashi's face sank. It was not easy to retreat in front of the enemy. In the current situation on the battlefield, in addition to desperately fighting for the camps with favorable terrain, the Liao army and the Jin soldiers also have a large group of cavalry fighting in the open terrain. If it is pursued by the cavalry of the Jin State, it is very likely to cause a rout. The Sun and Moon Flag is the symbol of the Khitan Emperor, and once the Sun and Moon Flag moves, the military spirit will inevitably be shaken. Therefore, in addition to Yelu Tiege leading 10,000 cavalry to charge, Yelu Dashi personally broke off the rear and urged the palace tent army to guard the camps everywhere, so as to ensure that the Jin army could be temporarily resisted, and the retreat in front of the enemy should be completed, so that most of the Liao army could retreat into the third camp completely.

After Yelu Dashi insisted on breaking it off in person, the generals of the Liao army did not dare to persuade him again. Yelu Tiege also led 10,000 cavalry to rush up from the rear army, stepping out of the smoke and dust along the way, the Khitan cavalry along the way have to get out of the way, after this new force entered the battlefield, the offensive of the Jin army was stagnant, and the Liao army began to retreat slowly.

There are 5,000 elite palace tent cavalry under the command of Yeluguan, the capital supervisor, and after receiving the military order to attack the Jinbing fortress, the whole team has gone out of the camp. Although the cavalry under the banner of Yelu Tiege put on an offensive posture, and although His Majesty's Sun and Moon Banner did not move, as long as the troops retreated smoothly, His Majesty and the privy envoy of the Northern Court would retreat. If the men and horses of the Yeluguan Institute still obeyed the order to attack the Jin State fortification, it became a lone battle, whether they could attack it or not, the outcome would be more than lucky.

"Instead of attacking a well-defended artillery fort," Yeluguan said to his lieutenant general, "it is better to wait for the enemy to advance with iron barrel cannons, and when the defense is inconvenient, use iron cavalry to block the waist and attack, and you can reap a great victory!" So the five thousand palace tent cavalry did not attack at once. The artillery fort did not retreat to the third barracks to the other Liao troops, but left the battlefield to the south and waited for an opportunity to move. The Jin soldiers only thought that this Liao army was defeated and fled, and they couldn't find the strength to chase after them for a while, and the Liao army didn't dare to stop them when they looked at the banner of the palace tent army. Three or four hundred thousand horses fought fiercely on both sides of Liaojin and Jin, and no one cared about the movements of the 5,000 horsemen who left the battlefield, while the scout cavalry under the command of Yeluguan kept observing the movements of the battlefield.

The artillery battalion of the Han army was unaware of this group of hidden wolves, Yelu Tiege could not stop the attack of the Jin cavalry, and after heavy casualties, he had to retreat with Yelu Dashi, so far, the Jin army has successively broken through the two camps of the Liao army, thirty-seven camps, morale is like a rainbow, but the Liao army has not collapsed, the privy envoy of the North Court led the army to fight bloodily, and Yelu Dashi personally broke off with the respect of the emperor, all of which made the Liao army deeply felt. The generals of all armies knew that this battle was related to the survival of the Khitan people, and although they did not retreat in the face of the fierce attack of the Jin army, they regained their strength after a little recovery. After Yelu Tiege withdrew, he immediately straightened out the rout and continued to arrange a new defensive line behind the third barracks.

The Liao army was defeated one after another, and the generals of the Jin soldiers of all departments were overjoyed, urging all the troops to continue to attack the third barracks. In the previous battle, the artillery battalion played a key role in breaking through the Liao army barracks, and Wanyan Agu ordered the artillery battalion to move forward again and bombard the third line of Liao army strongholds. After a series of fierce battles, whether it was the Liao army or the Jin army, the original upper and lower structures were already very chaotic, but the condition of the Jin army was slightly better than that of the Liao army, except that the soldiers were tired, and the morale was also very high.

Originally, the Liao army's iron barrel heavy artillery could not move on the battlefield at all, Zhao Xingde could only move forward with fourteen three-inch guns, he was not worried about the original Liao army artillerymen, so he sent five hundred spearmen to escort them to the back and handed them over to Tong Yunjie to take care of. When Jin attacked the camp of the Liao army, the generals of various departments wanted to transfer Zhao Xingde's Han army to help every time, but Zhao Xingde refused, if it were not for this, the infantry army under his command to protect the artillery group would have been exhausted long ago. The generals of the Jin State also wanted to mobilize the soldiers of the Tiebi Battalion who had just survived the incident to attack the Liao army as the vanguard. In order to make an appearance, Han Ningshuang transferred most of the soldiers of the Tiebi Battalion to the command of Tong Yunjie in the rear formation, so as not to be consumed on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the Jurchen cavalry was originally responsible for guarding the outside of the battlefield, but after this vicious battle, in order to break through the camp of the Liao army, with the transfer of troops, Wanyan Aguta continued to put the Jurchen army into the battlefield, and the generals of the Jin State in front also continued to concentrate all the subordinates who could be dispatched to attack the camp of the Liao army. And as the entire Jin soldiers continued to win, the front moved forward, and a big victory was expected, and Meng'an Mooke, who was originally on guard on the periphery, was thrown into the battle one after another. The 5,000 palace tent cavalry suddenly reappeared on the battlefield and rushed straight to the artillery battalion on the march, but they were not hindered much.

"Formation, formation!" The Han officer shouted. The spearmen stumbled into a circle, keeping the gunners and Jurchen archers in the inner ring, and several cannons had to be discarded outside. The Khitan cavalry was getting closer and closer, and several Jurchen cavalry armies with hundreds of horsemen tried to stop them along the way, but they were easily scattered and routed.
