The news of the fiasco at Qigou Pass reached Bianliang, and Taizong urgently ordered the Song army in the middle to retreat to Dingzhou; Panmei retreated to Daizhou on the west road, and at the same time mobilized the Bianliang forbidden army to march north to block the gap caused by the fiasco of Qigou Pass.

However, the Liao army did not go directly south, as Song Taizong had guessed, but moved to the west to connect Ulzhou, Flying Fox and Huanzhou.

Zhao Guangyi's donkey skills were poor, so he had to ask Pan Mei to cover the people of Yun, Shuo, Huan, and Ying to retreat south.

Considering that the Liao army had an absolute mobile advantage, and the Song army retreated from the enemy after the defeat, Yang Ye proposed a plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" - attacking Yingzhou to the north and threatening the flank of the Liao army's Huanzhou troops; At the same time, let the people retreat south from the Shijie Valley in the southeast of Shuozhou, and ambush them in the middle of the valley with fine horses, and thousands of crossbowmen to guard the valley mouth......

However, the prison army assassinated Shi Wang Yu and Liu Wenyu slandered Yang Ye for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and even said: "The prince is invincible, and now he sees the enemy teasing and not fighting, does he have his ambition?" ”

In this way, Yang Ye was cornered and had to lead his troops to attack Huanzhou head-on.

Yang Ye already knew that it would be difficult for him to survive this battle, and he made it clear that "karma, Taiyuan will surrender to the general, and he will die...... Now all the kings are responsible for karma to avoid the enemy, and karma should die first to the enemy! ”

At the same time, Yang Ye agreed with Pan Mei to ambush infantry and crossbows in Chenjiagu in the south of Shuozhou; When Yang Ye evacuated here, he came to the rescue.

Yang Yeyin attacked when he arrived; Wang Yu saw that after 6 hours, the Liao soldiers had not arrived, so he thought that the Khitan army had withdrawn.

In order to invite merit, he led his troops out of the valley without authorization, but Pan Mei did not stop it.

However, Wang Yu had advanced a short distance along the tributaries of the Sangqian River and learned that Yang Ye had been defeated; In order to escape for his life, he fled with his subordinates.

As a result, Yang Ye fought and walked to Chenjia Valley at dusk but did not find reinforcements, and was finally captured in the battle at the valley mouth, leaving "I am thick, looking forward to the thief to defend the border to retribution, but he was forced by the traitorous ministers, resulting in the defeat of the king's division, what face to live!" The last words of the three days of hunger strike.

Zheng Shuang was deeply saddened by the death of Yang Ye, after the defeat of the Gaoliang River and Qigou Pass to the Liao soldiers, the entire Song Dynasty talked about the Liao color change, although there were also bits and pieces of Tanghe, Yanmen Pass, Mancheng, Suicheng and other victories over the Liao army, but these small battles can not be said on the same day as the Gaoliang River and Qigou Pass.

In a word, since the war between the Song and Liao countries, the Song army has suffered more defeats and fewer victories.

Some people will say that it was because the Song Dynasty had few horse troops, and fighting the Khitan cavalry with infantry was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

This seems to make sense, but the Song Dynasty also had a strong cavalry - the Jingsai Army.

The Jingsai Army was a cavalry team of 3,000 people composed of more than 40,000 horses plundered by Song Taizong after conquering the Northern Han Dynasty; One soldier and 5 horses, under the leadership of the general Li Jilong, defeated the Liao army Tielin Army; But the Jingsai army was later missing......

The forbidden army that broke into Prime Minister Kou Zhun's mansion turned out to be all cavalry, which made Zheng Shuang feel very surprised; He muttered silently in his heart: "Mo Lai Jingsai Army has all been brought to the capital to serve as the imperial city and the emperor's and minister's guards......"

Zheng Shuang reverie nonsensically, but saw that 500 guards of the forbidden army had surrounded the soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion; Qin Shi Huang, Hong Sister-in-law, and Zhang Huan have already fought with the forbidden army.

Wenchen Kou Zhun also fought with the forbidden army with a sword in his hand, and fought in two strokes.

Dozens of forbidden troops on this side did not show weakness and surrounded Zheng Shuang; Step by step, close it tightly.

Zheng Shuang glanced at the chaotic fight scene and the "clanging" sound of iron colliding, and immediately reacted quickly; Drive the charcoal dragon foal in a circle.

The Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Pony is the head of the Tianzhuling Horse Farm, and Pu Dexiu, the chief of the Iron Falcon Army, is a good horse selected for him; The speed is twice as fast as that of the average horse.

It seems a bit exaggerated to travel thousands of miles a day, but 600 miles a day is a breeze.

Otherwise, after Zheng Shuang finished arranging the affairs of the Iron Falcon Army in Qijue Temple, the Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Pony suddenly went berserk; After he rode up, the charcoal fire dragon pony galloped all the way to Tokyo.

Zheng Shuang rode the red charcoal fire dragon horse and circled around the guards of the forbidden army, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who were about to move retreated one after another; Their mounts are not at all on the same level as the Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Pony, and if they don't retreat, they will definitely be knocked away.

Zheng Shuang rode around on horseback, holding Fang Tian's Qilin halberd in his hand and waving it; It is necessary to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight.

Zheng Shuang's hand really worked, and he sat down with the red charcoal fire dragon pony Yu Xuanang; The 108-pound Fang Tian Qilin halberd is shining, the shadow sword hangs from the waist, the sky-shaking bow is carried on the shoulder, and the quiver is full of diamond arrows; These deeds alone made the soldiers of the forbidden army tremble, and it would be strange if they didn't make a river of blood flow.

However, Zheng Shuang is not a butcher, the forbidden army is the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and fighting with Zheng Shuang can only be said to be a brotherly wall; He didn't want to hurt them.

Zheng Shuang let go of Diao San and so many executioners whose hands were stained with human blood in Juxian Tower, and also turned waste into treasure to organize the "Owl Death Squad" and "Red Sleeves Add Fragrance" team, and naturally had to show mercy to his subordinates in the face of the 500 forbidden army that came in the tide.

The guards of the Forbidden Army who surrounded him seemed to be intimidated by his courage after Zheng Shuang's prancing horse circled, staring at him with wide eyes one by one, not daring to step forward but retreating.

Zheng Shuang snorted coldly, looked his eyes into the air, and saw the fireball-like sun hanging in the sky due south and burning; The small square in front of the main hall of the hall was full of fire.

Zheng Shuang dragged the bridle of the red charcoal fire dragon horse back a few steps, and saw that there were flower fences, lawns, and trees around the square; The sound of knowing the noise resounded from the shade of the trees, and the unconscious little screamers seemed to inject some music into this infighting killing.

The square in front of the main hall lobby is obviously narrow for hundreds of people to fight, but if the lawn is expanded, it is not a good place to fight......
