Seeing that there are more and more Song troops crossing the river, but even if the Song army has firearms to help, many advantages can not be played when crossing the river, resulting in large casualties of the Song army, of course, the casualties of the Liao army are not small, and now the position of the Song army is becoming more and more stable, and even expanding outward, and the Song army of some pontoon bridges has taken advantage of the strength, and even began to counterattack the Liao army.

In this case, Han Nanwang only had two choices, either to increase his forces and finally make another wave of charge, or to retreat directly, after all, if he waited until the main force of the Song army crossed the river, it would not be so easy for him to retreat at that time.

Looking at more and more Song troops pouring ashore, and then looking at the son next to him who was eager to fight, Han Nanwang also showed a tangled look, his personal soldiers are his hole cards, and they are also his last reliance, although their combat effectiveness is very strong, but the number is still too small, even if they are sent over, I am afraid they can only take advantage of a moment, and they can't change the overall situation at all.

"Mingjin! Collect the troops! Han Nanwang finally gritted his teeth and ordered, since he couldn't take advantage of it, and any delay would only cause greater casualties, so he finally gave the order to withdraw his troops very rationally.

"Father, why don't you let us go up, maybe we can drive the Song army into the river?" Han Feifei was very puzzled when he heard his father's order, but asked loudly.

"The terrain on the river bank is complicated, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, plus your number is too small, the firearms of the Song army are sharp, and the cavalry is suppressed very strongly, I am afraid that you will not be able to change the overall situation if you go up!" Han Nanwang also said in a deep voice at this time, in fact, in addition to what he said, he didn't want to bet all his family money on it, after all, the other party's firearms were too powerful.

With the sound of gold in the Liao army, the Liao army, which was originally attacking the Song army, also immediately retreated, and did not forget to burn the warships by the river when leaving, so as not to be transported by the Song army by boats, and even the previous camp was burned by them, leaving nothing for the Song army to use.

At this time, most of the Song troops who crossed the river were foot soldiers, and they couldn't catch up if they wanted to, but at this time, the pontoon bridge behind them was being reinforced, and the cavalry could come over immediately, so Han Nanwang chose the timing of the withdrawal of troops very accurately, and I am afraid that if it is a little later, I will be entangled by the cavalry of the Song army.

With the retreat of the Liao army, the pressure on the Song army was also immediately relaxed, and some radical soldiers still wanted to pursue, but at this time Liu Ping ordered to stop them, after all, their most important task now is to cross the river, and now there are still too few soldiers crossing the river, if the other party kills a horse pistol, maybe they will suffer a big loss.

Liu Ping also led his troops across the river at this time, and then commanded the soldiers to camp on the riverbank, because there were still many materials to be transported on the other side of the river, such as grain, grass, artillery, etc., all of which had to be transported little by little, and the materials of the 100,000 army were by no means transported in a short time, so they also had to camp on the riverbank at night.

The first wave of the Liao army's attack was repulsed, although the casualties of the Song army were not small, but the Liao army did not take advantage, the two sides were evenly matched, which also made Liu Ping secretly relieved, although they swept the south bank of the Yongding River before, but it was all more to fight less, and this river crossing battle was a hard confrontation with the Liao army, and even in the early stage, it was simply less to more, but the Song army was able to play such a result, which made Liu Ping also have great confidence.

That night, Liu Ping personally ordered to reward the three armies, of course, the so-called reward is nothing more than to improve the food for the soldiers, a few more pieces of meat in the big pot of dishes, as for the wine, don't think about it, from the moment the army was dispatched, the whole army banned alcohol, of course, the military doctor did have alcohol, but it was life-saving, and few people dared to risk losing their heads to steal alcohol.

After dinner, the pontoon bridge was still lit with torches to transport overnight, and the soldiers who crossed the river also hurried to rest, because tomorrow it was likely that troops would be deployed, and under the city of Xijin Province, there was still a fierce battle waiting for them.

However, in the early hours of the morning, Liu Ping, who had dealt with most of the night's affairs, had just laid down, but suddenly heard the sound of a warning gong outside, which made him jump up immediately, and when he rushed out of the tent, he found that the direction of the northeast corner shouted to kill the sky, obviously the Liao army that retreated during the day killed it again, and wanted to take advantage of the night to sneak attack.

Fortunately, Liu Ping was very cautious, and had set up heavy defenses around the camp as early as when he set up camp, so the sneak attack of the Liao army had not been able to get close to the camp, and it had already been discovered by the patrolling soldiers, but even so, the Liao army still broke through several defense lines with the impact of the cavalry, and finally tore the northeast corner of the camp open, and set fire to the camp, resulting in the destruction of some materials and the burning of the camp tent.

Liu Ping immediately personally commanded the army to meet the enemy, but the Liao army that attacked was very cunning, and after seeing the Song army's reaction, it also retreated very decisively.

At this time, the sky was also dawning, Liu Ping immediately ordered someone to count the losses, and found that the loss of materials and tents was a trivial matter, after all, they carried a large number of materials in this attack on Liao, but the casualties were as many as more than 3,000 people, in contrast, the corpses left by the Liao army were less than 1,000 people, it can be said that they suffered a big loss this time.

"General, the last general is invited to fight, you must give these Khitan dogs a little color!" Among the handsome tents, Hu Yan Shouxin was the first to ask for orders at this time, and the other generals also looked indignant, they suffered such a big loss last night, they naturally wanted to find the field.

Liu Ping was also annoyed at this time, from the dispatch of troops to the present, they have been very smooth, but they didn't expect to suffer such a big loss last night, if according to his usual temperament, he would definitely lead his troops to pursue immediately, even if he can't leave Han Nanwang, he must get this face back.

However, thinking of the burden on his body, Liu Ping finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and calmly considered it again and again: "Order the three armies to strengthen their defense, no one is allowed to fight without authorization, and wait until the supplies are transported before making plans!" ”

Liu Ping had to be cautious, the results he had achieved during the day yesterday made him a little contemptuous of the Liao army, but last night he was given a slap in the face, which was not necessarily a bad thing for him, at least it made him more sober, no matter what, the Liao army is still a strong enemy that cannot be underestimated, even if the opponent's strength is insufficient, but he still can't be careless.

Thinking about the above, Liu Ping was also more calm, and immediately issued orders one after another, Guo Zun and Cao Ma and others also took orders to go, everything in the barracks is based on military orders, as long as the main general makes a decision, the generals below can only obey, otherwise they may engage in military law, which is also the origin of military orders, and no one can disobey.

The army rested for another day on the bank of the Yongding River, and the materials were almost transported at this time, although there will be materials to be transported in the future, but there is no need for all the troops to stay here, so Liu Ping let people build a defense after the neatness, leaving 5,000 people to guard the pontoon bridge, and then led the army to kill the city of Xijinfu.

Xijin Mansion is Nanjing, Liao, is one of the capitals of Liao, because it is located in the sixteen states of Yanyun, so it is also known as Yanjing, this name must be very familiar to many people, yes, Yanjing is the old name of Beijing, in fact, Xijin Mansion City is located in the southwest of Beijing City in the later generations, and also belongs to the scope of Beijing City

It is worth mentioning that the name of Beijing in the Great Song Dynasty was the Daimyo Mansion, and many people in later generations thought that the Daimyo Mansion was the Beijing of the later generations, but in fact, this Daimyo Mansion was located in the later Daming County, Hebei, and there was still some distance from Beijing, and the real Beijing City was now in the hands of the Liao people.

Xijin Mansion was originally on the edge of the Yongding River, but it was not like Juma City, which regarded the Juma River as a moat, mainly because the Yongding River was too irritable and moved the river at every turn, so the location of the city of Xijin Mansion was more than ten miles away from the river bank, and the terrain was also quite high, so even if the river flooded, it was difficult to flood Xijin Mansion.

In just one morning, the army led by Liu Ping came to the city of Xijin Mansion, and at this time, the Liao army at the head of the city had already been prepared, Han Nanwang even climbed the city to look at the Song army outside the city, although they had fought twice before, but one was a river crossing battle, and the other was a night sneak attack, the Song army did not give full play to its advantages at all, but then it was the Song army's best siege battle, which made him have to deal with it mentally.
