"If the Liao army's iron barrel artillery is divided into several teams and bombarded in a loop, the cavalry will not be so easy to approach." Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice, "What's more, the Liao cavalry is not incapable of fighting, and it is disrupted with iron barrel cannons," he paused, did not say "Jin Army", and said vaguely, "Close stacking formation." This seems to have restrained the Jurchen cavalry chief. ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals of the Jin Kingdom next to him nodded frequently. The losses in today's battle are not great for the entire Jin army, but the generals always think what if I lead the army and face the roar of artillery. But there is a great worry in my heart. Zhao Xingde's bystanders were clear, and he hit the key in one sentence. Although the Jin soldiers and the Liao army were both good at cavalry, they were actually very different. Most of the Khitan people are nomadic and are accustomed to galloping and fighting. The Jurchen people rose between the white mountains and black waters, and the terrain was not as vast as the northern grasslands, so they developed the habit of forming strong formations and fighting tough battles. When the enemy formed a strong formation and fought, most of the Khitan cavalry rode and shot, not waiting for the enemy's confusion to easily attack, while the Jurchen cavalry would dismount and fight on foot.

The Khitan cavalry cavalry was no worse than the Jurchen cavalry, but when the two sides fought in formation, the Khitan cavalry was often not as tough and durable as the Jurchen cavalry, and they were defeated every time. After the Jurchen cavalry was beaten back, it did not break up, and the rear rushed up to defend against the enemy. The cavalry in the front retreated to the rear and regrouped. The original rear formation became the front formation, and the reorganized formation became the rear formation at this time. And so on and so forth, until the enemy is defeated. Since the incendiary uprising of Ningjiang Prefecture, the Jurchen cavalry has often had an advantage over the Khitan cavalry in decisive battles. However, the Liao army's use of barrel artillery bombardment in the front greatly reduced the advantage of the Jurchen cavalry, and even turned it into a disadvantage.

"If the charging cavalry is scattered, and it happens to fall into the trap of Liao Dog," Wan Yan Ah Gu has been fighting horses all his life, and he is very familiar with the power, he touched his gray beard, glanced at the generals present, and said in a deep voice, "General Zhao has recognized the trick of Liao Dog, which of you can break it?" and rewarded him with two fierce soldiers and horses. ”

Some of the generals had burning eyes, some looked envious, and more looked at each other, Wanyan Zonghan patted his thigh and said: "In this case, we still need to follow the old method, not to be hard with him in the front, only to kidnap the horse from the wings and kick his camp." This is also a trick of the Jurchen army to fight hard villages, in fact, Wanyan Zongbi and other generals thought of it, but they were shouted out by Zong Han first, and these people secretly regretted it.

"The two-wing crutches are only effective when they can withstand the enemy head-on, if not, if they are divided by the enemy on the battlefield, the Liao army can choose which side to eat first. Anyway, there is an artillery blockade in the middle, and it is difficult for the left and right flanks of the Jin army to echo. Zhao Xingde thought secretly, and felt that there was a gaze next to him, but when he turned his head, he saw that it was Han Ningshuang, and he bowed slightly to her.

"I'm afraid Mr. Zhao doesn't think so, he must have a way to deal with the iron barrel cannon, but this is what he is good at, and he is not willing to teach the Jurchens easily." Han Ningshuang said in her heart, and she also nodded to Zhao Xingde. She neither wants to see the Liao army completely defeat the Jin soldiers, but also does not want the Jin State to dominate in Liaodong, this is a war between Liao and Jin, and her mind is mostly thinking about how the Han army can survive itself.

Zong Han's voice shouted, and Wanyan's brows furrowed even tighter. The young generals in the tent are all strong-blooded, and since they went into battle, they have all fought a good battle, only seeing the pleasure of the kidnappers and horses kicking through the enemy camp, but they did not pay attention to the extreme importance of the Chinese army in the ancestral Chengfa Li to stop the enemy's front and echo the left and right. Now the Liao army sacrifices artillery weapons, and if it breaks the circle of the Chinese army, if it is not solved on this, and only blindly abducts the horse, it will be like looking for death. What's more, the abducted horse is another name for the cavalry on both wings, and the abducted horse of the Khitan army is not much weaker than the Jurchen.

Sure enough, veterans such as Wanyan and Wanyan Lou Room thought of the inappropriateness one after another. After Yan Lou looked at Quan Zonghan's face, he didn't refute him directly, but said in a deep voice: "What kind of two-winged kidnapping horse, if you want me to say, only one side of the kidnapping horse, you will bully him that the iron bucket cannon is inconvenient to turn in the direction, and he will kill him directly from one side." "Wanyan doesn't lose his thoughts, although Lou Mu is a brave general, he is not a close relative of my Wanyan Department, and even Zong Han doesn't dare to offend, but the method he thinks is not bad. The descendants of the Wanyan tribe, Zong Han, Zong Bi and others, are of course heroes, but they are also ambitious. Moreover, Zong Bi believed in the strange story of the Han people's father and son, and opposed the tradition of the Wanyan tribe to be the brother and brother, and Zong Han and others also followed him. However, most of the generals of the same generation as Wanyan Aguda supported Wanyan Wu Qimai, who had a deeper foundation, to inherit the emperor's throne. Now that there is a way to restrain the Khitan artillery, Wan Yan still snorted contemptuously, and was about to knock this junior a few more words, when suddenly there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside, Wan Yan Agu's face changed, and all the generals were silent.

Zhao Xingde and Han Ningshuang glanced at each other, according to the rules, it is not allowed to gallop around the imperial tent at will, unless there is an urgent military situation. While he was thinking about it, the sound of the horse's hooves came to an abrupt halt in front of the tent, and with the sound of the heavy saddle and dismounting, someone outside was shouting loudly, there was an urgent military situation to report to His Majesty. After examining the token, the guard at the door of the tent did not dare to hinder it, and the messenger opened the tent and entered, and the generals were shocked again.

I saw that his face was covered in dust and blood, the left armor had been torn off and wrapped in blood-soaked strips of cloth, and there were a few arrow shafts in the gaps of the other armor, all of which were simply broken with their hands.

After that, Wanyan still recognized him at a glance, his face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "Ali took it, but the Liao soldiers attacked Shenzhou?" Aliduo was originally the patriarch of a Jurchen tribe, and after returning to the Yan tribe, because of his bravery, his official residence was fierce. Seeing him so embarrassed, all the generals in the tent had an uneasy mood, could it be that the Liao army was attacking the city in a hurry, Shenzhou was about to be unable to eat, and the Liaoyang army was unable to hurry back?

Ali raised his head and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, Shenzhou is lost!" ”

Wanyan's pupils shrank, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart, almost turning the world. The generals of the Jin State in the tent were all shocked, and Wanyan Zonghan even shouted, "What did you say? After looking at this panicked scene, he couldn't wait to kill this Ali for the crime of "disturbing the morale of the army".

Zhao Xingde intuitively felt that his palms were tight, but it was Han Ningshuang who subconsciously clenched his palms tightly, her palms were cold and she was sweating slightly. Shenzhou and Liaoyang are hundreds of miles apart, and they are the most important strongholds behind the Jin army. Moreover, the hundreds of miles north of Shenzhou have already been plundered by the cavalry of the Liao army, which is equivalent to saying that if the retreat of the Jin army to the north has been broken. If you can't defeat the Liao army in front of you, and the hundreds of thousands of troops are all dropped in Liaoyang, Yelu Dashi can take advantage of the situation to take Liaodong. The rivalry between the two tigers ended so early, and before the Han army had time to grow, the gap in survival was squeezed to a very small size.

"Say it again, what's going on in Shenzhou?" Wanyan stared at Ali Duo, as if he wanted to swallow him alive. There are 30,000 defenders in Shenzhou, and when the Wanyan tribe raised troops, the number of troops was only 3,000. Wanyan Pu Jianu has ten times the original strength, defending a fortified city like Shenzhou, and he actually lost Shenzhou without even saying hello? Thinking of this, Wanyan Agu's chest was in pain again, and he couldn't wait to split the five horses of Wanyan Pu's slave.

"Your Majesty, it's the Liao Dog who is extremely cunning," Ali said with resentment and remorse on his face, "They have already done something in Shenzhou City. We don't know what's going on, we just heard a loud bang, the east city wall suddenly collapsed, and then thousands of Liao dogs came out of the city, inside and outside, tens of thousands of Liao dogs just rode horses into Shenzhou City, and killed people when they saw them. Before our warriors could assemble and form a formation, they were beaten to pieces, and the third Bo Jilie led the warriors to resist in the city, and sent me out to report to Your Majesty......"

"That is to say," Wan Yan asked hurriedly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "When you came out, there was still a war in Shenzhou City, and Shenzhou hadn't lost it yet, right?" Because of his nervousness, his expression looked very hideous and terrifying.

"Bo Jili," Ali said hesitantly, "if so, it',...... However, "though he was spitting and spitting, all the generals in the tent heard what he had not said." Han Ningshuang sighed, the Liao people spent so much effort in Shenzhou City, listening to Ali Duo's description, he not only built a dark passage enough to pass through thousands of ambushes, but also ambushed gunpowder, which was determined to win. When the Jin army was caught off guard, how could this city not be lost.

Wanyan Aguda stared at Ali Duo tightly, he had always been resourceful, but at this time he suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap, and he didn't speak for a long time. The Liao army's capture of Shenzhou not only cut off the retreat of the Jin army. Because Liaoyang was initially decided, more than half of the grain and grass of the southern expedition army was stored in Shenzhou City, which was hundreds of miles away, and it had not yet had time to be transferred to Liaoyang.

He stared at Ali Duo intensely, his gaze as cold as if he were looking at a dead man. The decisive battle of the army was imminent, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Wanyan Agu started to convict him of lying about the military situation and immediately beheaded this person. He shook his head, at this moment, he gave up this ridiculous idea, the defeated soldiers would come one after another, and the news of the fall of Shenzhou could not be hidden.

Taking a deep breath, his nose opened and closed slightly, and his eyes turned from cold to fierce, and all the generals of the Jin Kingdom in the tent looked at him. After a moment, he raised his head, slowly looked around at the generals, and put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist. Zhao Xingde intuitively felt a slight chill on his body, and said secretly, so heavy and murderous. At this moment, it was as if you were on the battlefield of thousands of troops.

Wanyan Aguta's gaze made contact with the general of the Jin Kingdom, his expression became calm, and he said to Ali: "You have made a meritorious contribution to returning to the military situation in time, and go down to rest first." After seeing Ali leave, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Zhao Xingde and said, "This is what you Han people call a battle against the water." Yelu Dashi has set up a big formation, this time I want to see if he took my old bones, or if I want his dog's life! ”
