The situation that the Liao army cut off the way to retreat instead stimulated the brutality of Wanyan Agu, and he was determined to fight to the death with the Liao army in front of him.

He looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice, "When Ningjiang raised troops, we only had 3,000 people, and Liaogou had 7,000 people. Liao Gou thought that they could eat the Jurchens like crushing ants again, but we defeated them! When we besieged Huanglongfu, we only had 20,000 men, and Liaogou had 100,000 people, and we beat them so that they hid in the city like turtles. Now we have 150,000 warriors and more than 200,000 Liaogou, you say, can we defeat Liaogou? ”

"Yes!" "Of course you can!" The young generals responded in unison. Wanyan Zonghan shouted: "Capture Yelu Dashi, the Liaogou Emperor alive!" Although Wanyan Zongbi and the others had heavy hearts, under the excitement of this group, their spirits were also lifted. At this time, he subconsciously looked at Han Ningshuang, but saw Han Ningshuang lowering his head, as if he was talking to Zhao Xingde beside him in a low voice, Wanyan Zongbi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he smashed his fist on the table and shouted: "Kill these dog mongrels!" His voice was very loud, and Wan Yan Zonghan beside him patted him on the shoulder excitedly, and said excitedly: "Yes! Defeat Liaogou! ”

Zhao Xingde looked at these yelling generals of the Jin Kingdom, and for some reason, an ominous premonition surged in his heart. "If the Liao army wins a big victory and the Jin State is destroyed, it will be difficult for the Han army to gain a foothold." Han Ningshuang asked in a low voice, "Is there any other way for General Zhao to deal with the artillery of the Liao army?" "The Han army did something in the fire, and had a very clear grasp of the situation in the Liaojin dispute. Han Ningshuang knew that the main force of the Jin army had fallen into the trap, the situation was extremely dangerous, and Wanyan Aguda was indeed determined to trap the beast and fight, and after the Jin army was destroyed, all the pressure fell on the Han army. At this time, if you preserve your strength, you are afraid that it will be too late to regret it in the future.

"Even if the Jin State falls," Zhao Xingde said in a low voice, "there is still the Xia State supporting the Han army in Liaodong." Because of the influence of the original memory, Zhao Xingde's vigilance and malice towards the Jin army far exceeded that of ordinary Han people. Firearms were an important reliance of the Han people in the Central Plains in the future, and before the appearance of flintlock firearms, whether it was artillery or firearms, there were major defects, and he was unwilling to teach the Jin soldiers the method of restraint from the bottom of his heart.

"The country of Xia is far away, and it is difficult to help. If the Xia State wants to raise troops to advance eastward, it must first pass through Xijing Datong Mansion. The Liao State recruited a grassland tribe and placed it in Xijing Datong Mansion, the Great Khan was a figure, not only attached to the Liao State, but also traded with the Central Plains, and the tribe was very prosperous. Han Ningshuang said in a low voice, "If the Jin State falls, hundreds of thousands of Liao troops will continue to sweep the caves in the Liaodong Plough Court. Unless Song Guohedong and Hebei Daying sent troops to threaten Nanjing Dao, otherwise, Yelu Dashi would not be able to withdraw from Liaodong immediately. There is a strong melancholy in her eyes, although the Han family has been defeated for many years, she still knows the situation of the Liao State very well, and Yelu Dashi's control over the Liao State has become more and more strict over the years, and the results of the whole army and military force have been seen in today's battle.

Zhao Xingde lowered his head and groaned. The cavalry's method of restraining artillery is actually simple, but because artillery has hardly been used in the decisive battle of the army before, if the Jin army gropes for a way from scratch, this battle will definitely be lost. The power of the new weapon is not only the direct damage it causes to the enemy, but more importantly, it is a psychological deterrent. Just like today's battle, the damage caused by the Liao army's artillery to the Jin army was not unbearable, but the tough Yan Agu had to withdraw the army.

Han Ningshuang saw that Zhao Xingde was silent, and stopped talking. She sighed slightly, looked up and looked up at the discussion of the generals in the tent.

Wan Yan said worriedly: "Shenzhou has fallen, and in another month, we will run out of food!" "As a veteran of the battlefield, he is not as easy to get excited as his juniors, and as the first independent commander of the army, he attaches great importance to grain and grass far above the generals. Therefore, although this is not an appropriate remark, it is still mentioned. But from the bottom of his heart, he didn't hope that Wanyan Aguta could dispel this doubt for himself. In essence, Wan Yan did not lose the same confidence as other generals of the Jin Kingdom, and in terms of confidence in victory, there was a faint dependence on the tribal patriarch who led the troops to rise up. This is especially true when the situation is critical.

"First Bo Jilie said it very well, I haven't forgotten the problem of our grain and grass," Wanyan Aguda smiled, "But, who said it would take another month," Wanyan Aguda looked at the generals, raised his tone and asked, "Warriors, will it take a month to defeat Liaogou?" ”

"I don't need to!"

"Just one day!" Wan Yan Zonghan shouted.

"That's it." Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice, "When you defeat Liaogou, you will have as much grain and grass as you want!" He paused, and after reading Yan Ci, his face was still full of worry, and he said in a deep voice, "Until now, we have to admit that Yelu Dashi is a cunning opponent, and he is the most cunning of the generals who have fought with us in the Liao State in the past few years. The generals' faces darkened slightly, some things cannot be solved by turning a blind eye, Yelu Dashi's strategy, and the changes he brought to the morale of the Liao army are obvious. Wan Yan nodded without losing his head, because he admitted this, he felt a little more at ease, after all, Wan Yan was not blindly arrogant.

"But," Wan Yan Agu looked at the faces of the generals and added, "He can't defeat us either!" ”

"This is a war between the Jurchens and the Khitans, and Changshengtian has always been on our side. Yelu Dashi is a character, but he can't change that. We, the Jurchens, can endure hunger and thirst, march hundreds of miles a day, and then fight like tigers, and can charge dozens of times in a row until the enemy is defeated. These are all things that the Khitans can't do. What the Khitans are like, we have known for a long time. It is impossible for a sheep to turn into a tiger in a day, even if it is Yelu Dashi, it can only change the Khitan people on the surface, they are just pretending. As long as we give them a hard blow, they will soon show their prototypes like cowardly demons. Perhaps Yelu Dashi was a cunning hunter, and he thought that casting a net would catch the Jurchens. But can a thin hunting net catch a tiger? No, we're going to shred this net! We will be able to defeat them! ”

The patriarch also served as the duty of this sacrifice in the past, and most of the generals of the Jin Kingdom were restored to their confidence. Many people remembered that when the Wanyan tribe first started its army, the comparison of strength and weakness was much more sinister than now, but Changshengtian still stood on the side of the Jurchens, and everyone won a victory as if they were dreaming. Compared to the past, the current situation is nothing.

Under the continuous encouragement of Wanyan Aguta, the morale of the generals of the Jin State gradually increased, and they became more and more confident in the battle in the coming day. The haze in Zhao Xingde's heart is getting deeper and deeper. He could hear the agitation of Yan Agu, as if a sleepy beast was roaring. The situation in Liaodong is indeed precarious. If Yelu Dashi really pacified Liaodong easily and had no worries, then where would his hundreds of thousands of troops point? Zhao Xingde pondered for a long time, and the generals of the Jin Army had already retired, and he and Han Ningshuang were still in the seat. Wanyan Zongbi and Zong Han saw that they didn't leave, so they also stayed.

"This time we will have a decisive battle with Liaogou," Wanyan Agu said with a smile, "There must also be General Lao Zhao, so that Liaogou knows that we also have artillery in Jinguo." "The artillery of the Jin State was purchased from the Song State, and some of it was imitated and cast by itself, but neither the quality of the artillery nor the gunnery of the artillery could be compared with the Xia Guoying, or even inferior to the Han army. In terms of using artillery to bombard the Liao army, it is still necessary to rely on Xia Guoying, and Wanyan Aguta even has the idea of handing over the artillery of the Jin army to Zhao Xingde to command.

Zhao Xingde nodded slightly, he looked at the four people in the tent, and said slowly: "As Your Majesty said, the Jurchen is prosperous, and the Liao State has been in existence for a hundred years, and the drawbacks and weaknesses in it are not something that Yelu Dashi can completely recover in just a few years." His tone was a little uncertain, the morale of the army is to be accumulated by victory, if the Liao army can win again and again, the changes of Yelu Dashi to the Liao State will be deeper and deeper, and the morale of the Liao army will become more and more vigorous, becoming the great enemy of the Xia State and the Song State. This is also the reason why Zhao Xingde finally made up his mind, the Liao army is already very strong, and they must not be allowed to defeat the Jin State easily. Otherwise, the next ones to suffer are likely to be Hedong and Hebei.

"Yelu Dashi uses artillery to contain the sharpness of the Jurchen cavalry, if you follow the method of General Wanyan Lou, use the cavalry to detour from the flank, and deceive it into inconvenient artillery turning, it is also a way, but if the military artillery in the Liao State is deployed in a circular formation, I am afraid that no matter how detoured, it will not be able to avoid the bombardment of artillery."

Wanyan Agu nodded, what Zhao Xingde said, he had already thought of it. Cavalry is the easiest to detour to the flank, so in the face of a large number of cavalry, it is also customary for the Chinese army to arrange a large formation in a circle. The same is true of the Jin Army itself.

"What's this, isn't it more powerful than an arrow?" Wanyan Zonghan muttered, "If you get out of the two Meng'an, I can also rush in!" Wanyan glared at him and motioned for Zhao Xingde to continue speaking.

"However, the circle will distribute the artillery on all sides, and on one side, the density of the artillery will be smaller. Again, as Xia Shicai said, divide the artillery into several teams and bombard them in a loop, and the power of the artillery fire may not be enough to contain the impact of the cavalry. In this way, if the Jin cavalry attack was powerful enough, it could still force the Liao artillery to abandon the practice of firing artillery in turn. ”

"The artillery is ignited with a medical primer, and there is a gap between the order and the firing. After the Liao army ignited the gunpowder primer, if the cavalry could quickly turn back and disperse, when the enemy artillery fired, the losses suffered would be much smaller, and the enemy would charge again after the artillery fired, so that the damage of the artillery to the cavalry could be minimized. ”

"However, what if the cavalry turns back and before the retreat, the Liao soldiers' artillery fires?" Wanyan Zongbi asked. "What to do," Zhao Xingde looked at him expressionlessly, "This is gambling on life, nine deaths and one life is better than ten deaths and no life." "This method is dangerous and stupid, but it is the most common method of restraining artillery fire in this era. Due to the significant drawback of the arquebus' delayed firing, the cavalry was able to defeat a large number of armies armed with musket artillery. Even after the advent of flintlock muskets, cavalry continued to use this method to reduce casualties.
