Chapter 299: Fierce Battle (3)
In two days, the Liao army and the people of the Song Dynasty were entangled across a grand canal to attack and kill; The Liao side has killed and wounded hundreds of soldiers because they desperately erected pontoon bridges on the river, and there are no dead on the Song side, but there are also wounded.
It is said that the riding and shooting of the grassland people is tied to the calf and the big gong goes there and rings there, but it enters the four embankments, nine slopes and eighteen depressions of Huazhou; but like a wild bull entering into a bush of thorns, he cannot do it.
The Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan, who was as supple as water and as strong as iron, was so angry that her face was blue and purple; The flexible tactics of the people of the Song Kingdom made this strong woman on the grassland have nothing to say.
In order to cover the death squad laying the pontoon bridge, the Liao army adopted the archers to stand in a row on the bank of the river and release arrows to cover the launch of the bridge-laying team.
This kind of stupid donkey-style tactics is naturally difficult to work, and the people of the Song State who flocked on the other side of the river saw the Liao army lining up to shoot arrows; With a shout, they all hid - the bushes, the walls, the houses, the big rocks were all cover.
And the stone thrower in the hidden bushes saw the Liao army shooting arrows, and immediately fired ten thousand stones; Beat the archers and howl wolves; When the people who were hiding saw that the Liao archers were smashed by the stone thrower, they immediately shot arrows at the Liao army who were laying pontoon bridges in the river, released their guns, and threw earth-shattering thunder.
Where have I seen such an mandala crisscrossing the steppe, so I had to flee in embarrassment.
I am afraid that this is called the people's war, and all the aggressors armed to the teeth will eventually be buried in the ** sea of the people's war.
The people of Huazhou in the Song State were practicing the powerful power of the people's war under the command of the prefect Ma Yueming and the three commanders of the Iron Falcon Army, Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng.
The archers of the Liao army retreated half a mile under the smashing of the stone throwers of the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, but the death squad risked their lives to carry it.
The hard carrying seemed to have some effect at first, but the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty threw firearms from behind tree branches, roofs, and walls to shake the sky and thunder, and the result of the hard carrying was that the Liao army left more than a dozen corpses and fled.
The people are familiar with the terrain, and they drill around like monkeys; Sometimes in the open and sometimes in the dark, the self-proclaimed invincible Liao army palace tent soldiers did not have a temper in the face of a group of "Diao people".
Xiao Yanyan's heart hurt very much, and the blood supply to her brain seemed to stop instantly; The body was a little weak and leaned on Han Derang.
Han Derang saw that Xiao Xuan was paralyzed and knew that she was psychologically traumatized; Gently hugged him and comforted: "Sister Yan doesn't have to be sad, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers!" ”
Xiao Xuan didn't say anything, her eyes were like dead fish; staring at the Khitan warriors who were fighting on the bank of the Grand Canal without light, he said bitterly in his heart: "Is it true that Ben Hou is going to go to Maicheng in this place in Huaxian County......
The Wei River in Huaxian County is the Yongji Canal on the Grand Canal, which flows into Huaxian County from Liyang; Liyang flows over and over again, and the territory of Huaxian County is 8240 meters long.
The seven or eight mile-long artificial canal was overrun by the powerful Liao army, which was really a bit of a nest.
It is not a nest to say that it is a nest, because the bridge on the Wei River has long been destroyed by the people; The Liao army, who was accustomed to running horses in the wilderness, could only look at the river and sigh, facing difficulties in the face of the impassable river.
Empress Dowager Xiao began to reflect: "Is it really impossible to eat hot tofu in a hurry"?
In 1004 A.D., a strong woman who wanted to be the lord of the Central Plains was more eager than ever to occupy Bianjing.
Because in 1004 A.D., Xiao was 51 years old, and the woman had already entered old age at the age of 51; If Xiao Xuan, who is a young man in the Rong Ma Army, is unwilling to enter old age by herself, she wants to give it a go; In the ancient capital of Bianliang, warm your buttocks, and then hand over this capital, which represents the orthodox culture of China, to his son Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu.
After all, his son Yelu Longxu is 32 years old, and the 32-year-old Yelu Longxu is wise and calm, and he can fully inherit the will of the Khitan ancestors.
However, where would the Empress Dowager, who had unfulfilled ambitions, think that she avoided the Great Wall of Water in the Southern Dynasty; He also used suspicious soldiers in Suicheng to confuse the generals on the front line of the Song State and Liao, and under the guidance of the general Wang Jizhong, he chose a convenient road to the border, and the sword went to the single peak; It was a waterloo at the beginning.
Bianliang that place Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang once operated, and Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to be as beautiful as the ancestor Yelu Deguang in her lifetime; became Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, but God was unsatisfactory.
In the face of the strong resistance of the Song army and civilians, Xiao Yanyan had to admit it; There is still a big gap between her and Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang.
Shi Jingjiao, a general of the Later Jin Dynasty, dedicated the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao State and became the emperor, and died in 942 AD.
The successor, Shi Chonggui, inherited the throne and did not want to be like Shi Jingjiao, so he was embarrassed to call the Liao people a minister and pay tribute to the emperor.
Yelu Deguang quit and fought against the Later Jin three times in 944, 945, and 947 AD.
Due to the surrender of Du Chongwei, the general of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Khitan Bianliang was broken, Shi Chonggui became a slave of the country and was escorted to the north by the Liao army; In the seventh year of Kaibao (974 AD), he died in the north.
In 947 A.D., Yelu Deguang accepted the Han courtiers to change the name of the country to Liao; After the Khitan army occupied Kaifeng, the Liao army indulged in "hitting the grass valley" and plundering.
The people in the north and south of the Yellow River rebelled one after another, and in March of the same year, Yelu Deguang led the army to return north; Bian Liang, who was the lord of the throne, escaped in embarrassment after only three months, indicating that it was difficult for Yidi to become the lord of the Central Plains.
Empress Dowager Xiao inherited the courage of her ancestor Yelu Deguang, but she planned to abandon Yelu Deguang's madness of instigating soldiers to "threshing grass".
Once Xiao Sui is stationed in Bianliang, he will implement the policy of integrating the Han and Han states as in the Liao realm, opening a new page in Chinese history.
The death squads of the Liao army who paved pontoon bridges fell and came up again and again, and the loyalty of the soldiers to the cause of the Great Liao brought Xiao Xuan tears to his eyes.
Xiao Sui couldn't help wiping a few handfuls of tears, glanced at Han Derang beside him and said, "Brother Rang, is there a ghost in Huazhou?" Our army suffered heavy casualties on an artificial river, and it was impossible to build a pontoon bridge! ”
Han Derang grabbed Xiao Yanyan's hand and laughed generously: "Sister Yan, don't worry, didn't you arrange for Xu'er?" Xu'er will definitely bring good news! ”
Han Derang said, and asked the guard behind him to bring two light stools made of cowhide to help Xiao Yanyan sit down; He sat in front of Xiao Yanyan and grabbed her hand tightly, comforting her words.
This is Han Derang's ability, a Han man is more prosperous in Liao, and he is more glamorous than the Yelu royal family; In addition to Xiao Yanyan's love for him, it is more of his own wisdom.
Han Derang is 63 years old, but in order to fulfill Xiao Yanyan's southern expedition; Regardless of his old age, he insisted on following the army.
Han Derang knew that Xiao Yanyan wanted to be the second Wu Zetian, and kept sending troops to the south, as long as she could sit in the palace in Bianjing for a day; The long-awaited grand long-cherished wish can be completed.
Xiao Yanyan is now the real "Emperor Taishang" of Liao, but she always thinks that Liaoguo is Yidi and not an orthodox dynasty in the Central Plains; Only when he occupies Bianliang and sits on the dragon chair is he the master of China in the true sense of the word, and he will leave his name in history.
Xiao Yanyan's psychology Han Derang felt it clearly, and he would definitely advise his women bluntly on other men not to be competitive; A woman is a woman after all; Wu Zetian was called the emperor, but didn't she transfer the throne to the heirs of the Li family very wisely before she died? After his death, he also took the emperor's name as the queen and hid the Qianling Tomb with Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and set up a wordless tablet for himself. The Qianqiu public case turned the clouds and rain, and hundreds of hectares of fertile land turned into soil fields. The wordless stele is engraved with words, who can know Gu Kunyuan.
Han Derang never mentioned Xiao Yanyan's competitiveness, and followed her without mentioning anything; He knew that Xiao Yanyan was ambitious, but he did not pour cold water, but sent umbrellas in the rain and charcoal in the snow; Constant encouragement and encouragement.
Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came.
This is a slang phrase that has been sung through the ages, but this slang is not suitable for Han Derang and Xiao Yanyan.
From this point of view, Han Derang and Xiao Yanyan are a loving couple who know themselves and know each other, their hearts reflect each other, they are winged birds in the sky, and they are willing to be Lian Lizhi on the ground.
Yes, the love between the two of them is indeed unprecedented.
Wu Zetian is the only female emperor in China, and the male pet around her is douliang; Xue Huaiyu and Zhang Yizhi, the gang of dog thieves, just wanted to play with Wu Meiniang's body to get promoted and make a fortune, so as to become infamous through the ages.
Han Derang is a virtuous king, who has cared for Xiao Yanyan from beginning to end; Xiao Yanyan is a strong woman, but a woman's nature needs to be cared for by a man, and Han Derang is the first man in the world.
Han Derang comforted Xiao Yanyan, and Xiao Yanyan leaned her head on his chest for a short rest......
