In the handsome tent, Gu Yin sat in the handsome position, squinted at Dieride who came in, and said coldly: "I am already struggling to support Song Jun Ma Huaide in the face of Song Jun. You have tens of thousands of horses, followed by 100,000 Song troops, and you have come over. Now the 200,000 Song troops on the other side, how to deal with it?! ”

Dieri had to spread his hands: "What can I do?" 100,000 Song troops, how can I deal with them? In addition to retreating, even if the whole army fought hard, it could not stop the Song army's advance. Now that our two armies are united, with some mental effort, maybe there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Gu Yi sneered: "Vitality? An army of 200,000 can encircle our two armies! Behind is the boundary river, the holy edict, if our army crosses the boundary river, take the head of my neck! But if I don't retreat, how can I stop the army of 200,000! ”

Speaking of this, he picked up the bottle, took a big sip of wine, and sighed hatefully.

Dieri had to sit down and said to Gu Yin, "It's come to this point, it's useless to talk about it. Let's discuss how to defend it, which is the right thing. The pursuers have arrived today, not tomorrow, and the Song army will definitely attack the day after tomorrow. ”

Gu Yi said: "What is there to discuss? There is only one death! It's a pity that 100,000 sons and daughters will be buried here with me! ”

Dieri was silent for a moment. After a long while, he said: "General, our two armies combined, nearly 200,000 people at the beginning. How many tribes do we need to recruit 200,000 soldiers in our grassland? If they all die here, the prairie people—"

Gu Yin raised his head and said, "Why don't I know? This time, it was the soldiers of the country, and almost all the young and strong grasslands came. If it is completely wiped out, not to mention preventing the Song army from advancing northward, it will not even be possible to graze cattle and sheep. It is really the death of the whole army this time, and there will be no future. ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and sat down opposite Dieri without saying a word.

By this time, the Khitans had already seen clearly. The purpose of the Song army was not to defeat them, but to stay all. Annihilating a 400,000 nomadic army at one time, the Khitans would never even think about this kind of thing before. But now, the shadow of the destruction of the whole army looms over everyone.

If two months ago, someone said that the Song Dynasty had such an intention, the Khitans would have laughed off their big teeth. For thousands of years, no one has been able to achieve such a feat. Knocking out the young and strong of the grassland at one time, how can the Central Plains Dynasty have this kind of strength. Even if the Central Plains Dynasty was at its strongest, it was not difficult to defeat hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the grassland, but it was a fool's dream to destroy it. The steppe is full of cavalry, and if you can't beat it, you can't run away.

But now it's different, if the Song army captures Xijin Mansion and hundreds of thousands of troops are jointly strangled, the Khitan will really not be able to outrun Yanshan. Hebei Road is clear and clear, and Youzhou was looted by the Khitan itself, and even the grain and grass could not be scraped together. Hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops, what to do?

After a long while, Dieri said, "I don't know what happened to Wuqing in the north." If Wuqing is captured and there is grain and grass, the army will quickly go to save Nanjing City, and there will be a glimmer of life. If you can't attack Wuqing-"

After saying that, he shook his head. If you can't capture Wuqing, what will happen? The main Khitan force was dragged there, and the Song army of more than 100,000 troops surrounded the city of Nanjing, where was there a way out? There is no army in Nanjing, how long can it be defended? Dielid didn't know.

Gu Yi sighed: "According to the news from Wuqing, the situation is not good. Although the offensive continued day and night, the Song army still held easily. They have a lot of artillery at the head of the city, and there are plenty of defenders in the city, and our army has nothing to do. ”

With that, Gu Yi took out a bottle of wine from his side and handed it to Dierid. The two took a sip of wine, and Gu Yi said: "Don't hide it, there is not much food and grass in our army. Now the army can only drink porridge once on grass and eat one meal at night, and most of them are hungry. Rao is like this, and he can only last for three or five days. Your army is coming, and the time to hold out is shorter. ”

Dieri said: "In this way, how to fight the Song army?" They need to attack, just wait a few days. Forget it, let's take the army across the river and join the saint. Now south of the Boundary River, it is already a dead land. ”

Gu Yi shook his head: "Do you think that the north of the Boundary River is not a dead land?" In the whole territory of Youzhou, there is no grain and grass, and the people are gnawing on the bark of trees to survive the famine. Until now, I don't know how many people died of starvation. If you can't capture Wuqing, not only will the army not be able to go, but you won't even have anything to eat. ”

Dieri was a little stunned, and after a while, he said, "So it seems that we are not a dead end?" ”

Gu Ming sighed, didn't speak, just drank.

The sun jumped out of the east, red. The frost on the ground was so thick that it was as white as if it had snowed.

Gu Yi and Dieri had to ride on their horses, looking at Song Jun opposite, only to feel their eyelids jump.

The Song army's 200,000-strong army was divided into three parts. Ma Huaide's department is in the west, and Liu Lian's department is in the east, like a pincer. Jushiro's cavalry protected their flanks and attacked together. Li Weixian's headquarters was in the middle and later in the middle, and it was the reserve of the whole army.

In the distance, Gu Yin could see that the Song army was dragging the artillery and approaching it. Until now, the Khitan also knows the combat mode of the Song army. Since the Khitan had no artillery, the Song army had little to no hindrance, and the artillery advanced to the front line of the infantry positions. Under the cover of artillery fire, the Song infantry attacked. After a break in the attack, the artillery continued to advance. In this way two or three times, the Khitan will inevitably collapse.

Tens of thousands of troops, whether attacking or retreating, once they lose their organization, it is a disaster. Once the Khitan army collapsed, the cavalry of the Song army immediately followed, killing and wounding a large number of people. The Khitan had to send troops to block the cavalry units pursued by the Song army in order to be able to retreat safely. However, those who block the pursuers will not come back nine times out of ten, and they can be regarded as surviving.

Of the more than 100,000 troops in Guyin, there are nearly 50,000 people who don't have them. As time passed, the tactics of the Song army became more and more proficient, and Gu Yi had a headache every time he was in wartime. Today, the Song army has 50,000 more cavalry, which is even more terrifying.

With a sound of the horn, Ma Huaide's department took the lead in pressing up. Accompanied by artillery, the Khitan forward quickly collapsed. The pressed infantry was firing and advancing almost without stopping.

Gu Yi was just about to order the other troops to come to the rescue, when he heard another trumpet, and Liu Lian's army pressed up.

The two armies were like a pincer, divided into left and right wings, and surrounded the Chinese army in Guyin. The Khitan army couldn't resist at all, and there were constantly military formations collapsing, which could only be replenished by the military formations next to them.

Dieri had to see that his scalp was numb, and said to Gu Yin: "General, this is not the way. We can't stop the Song army at all, and if we do, it's just a matter of delaying some time. It is better to send a strong army to counterattack the Song army, and there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Gu Yi sighed: "My iron horseman, these days have been lost. There are only more than 1,000 people left, and they are in the Chinese army. What is the use of the opponent's 200,000 troops and more than 1,000 iron horsemen? To tell the truth, we are too far from the Song army's combat strength, unless we have the help of heaven, there is only one way to lose. What's worse is that the Song army fought in a very orderly manner, without hurry or slow, and there were no flaws to be found. ”

With an army of 200,000 troops, the battle line stretched for five or six miles. At a glance, the edges are blurry and cannot be seen clearly. I only saw the black pressing, and the Song army kept approaching. The Khitan army has even run out of arrows, and can only use swords and guns to fight against the Song army, where is the opponent?

The outcome of this war has long been sealed. Not only did Gu Yin and Dieri know the result early, but Song Jun also knew.
