The battle of 3,000 against 5,000 was only about one-tenth of the loss in the end, and this battle, anywhere in the Northern Song Dynasty, was enough to be proud of, but in the heart of Chong Ge, he didn't think so.

From the very beginning of the operation, the Song army occupied the absolute upper hand, from the very beginning in a state of opportunity, and weapons and equipment are not comparable to the Liao army, but even so, in the war of the large group, there are still heavy losses, the Liao army actually relied on brute force alone, caused more than 400 casualties, which directly made the next move of the plant unable to continue, and had to pack up the battlefield and leave.

In fact, this is the weakness of the battle behind the enemy, in order to seek mobility, the Northern Song Dynasty gave up the advantage of long-range forces, and chose the cavalry, no matter how well-equipped, in the confrontation of the cavalry, it is impossible to completely crush, 3000 to 5000 is good to say, in case it rises to 3000 to 8000, 3000 to 100, the final result will be another result.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry is that it moves quickly and annihilates 5,000 cavalry, among them, quite a number of war horses have also been captured, and these horses are also led, almost more than 10,000 horses, enough to run with all their might, and soon, they disappeared into the sky.

The speed of the battle was too fast, and there were not many survivors, and the scattered Liao army did not realize that they had been attacked, until late in the day, when the commander found that there were 5,000 cavalry missing.

At first, the commander did not realize that these cavalry had encountered an accident, they just felt, perhaps, that they were far away in some places and did not rush back, but they did not come back all night, which was a bit big, and sent a large number of cavalry to look around, and finally, found the battlefield.

Only a day later, but the tragic scene on the battlefield was still in everyone's eyes, 5,000 people, plus two or three thousand horses, and many corpses were placed here, which became a feast for the beasts, vultures, wolves, and other carnivores, they enjoyed it greatly.

Looking at the original robe and becoming a corpse, all the Liao troops who saw it were filled with righteous indignation, and some people asked for battle, but in the eyes of the generals who were slightly higher, there was a huge difference here.

Being able to make them not notice, even if the distance between the two sides is not too close, but they are not aware at all, then it proves that this battle did not last long.

The most important thing is the total annihilation, 5,000 cavalry, or the elite cavalry on the Liao side, was completely annihilated in such a short time, is it not a small force, but a large force.

Experienced generals can see from this that it should be a cavalry duel, but the opponent's losses should not be large, and at the scene, not even a single corpse was found.

Out of the self-confidence of a heavy cavalry, the Liao general knew very well that if he wanted to annihilate 5,000 cavalry, even if it was the same or even higher number, the other party would pay considerable casualties, he would not think that it was three or four hundred, but directly ran more than 3,000, in exchange for half, this is the bottom line, maybe, or one to one.

In this way, such an enemy, their threat is even greater, thousands of casualties, or even more, there are no traces and corpses left, what does it mean, this cavalry is not only huge, but also has amazing combat effectiveness.

For the first time, this Khitan nobleman thought of the Jurchen in the north.

The sweet potatoes in the north of the Liao country have long been active between the white mountains and seas, and they are more barbaric than the Khitans, without much civilization, but they are very good at war.

Splitting the Jurchen tribe has always been done by the Khitans, in fact, for the tribes, it is all handled in this way, but the Jurchens have not only not been suppressed, but have become more and more powerful, even if they are scattered into many tribes, the Jurchens' combat effectiveness has gradually strengthened, which has always been valued by the Liao State.

However, the Jurchens also knew that they were not the opponents of the Liao State at all, not only did they offer to the Liao State and recognize the status of the suzerain, but they were also at war with each other, and they seemed to have no strength, so they organized thousands of cavalry to enter the hinterland of the Liao State.

One tribe after another was considered, but there was no answer, because there were too few clues, as for the Northern Song Dynasty, this proud Khitan nobleman, he didn't consider it at all, the Northern Song Dynasty was rich, and he had a lot of precious things, but let him fight, he couldn't even beat the Western Xia, let alone enter the hinterland of the Liao State.

5,000 people were completely annihilated, which made the general frightened, and from then on, the remaining 5 teams were concentrated, and they no longer dared to disperse.

When Chong Ge set off a peak on the Liaodong Peninsula and annihilated a 5,000-strong Liao heavy cavalry force, at the position of Qinhuangdao in the later generations, the fleet led by Xue Yu landed again, this time, not at night, but during the day.

Even the coastal areas of the Northern Song Dynasty, except for a few areas, are barren, let alone the Liao Kingdom, even if it is the hinterland.

Although Liao is a country, it has a great nomadic atmosphere, they chase water and grass, perhaps the sixteen states of Youyun are exceptions, but except for some settlements, many people are distributed in grasslands and cities.

Shanhaiguan, which was once an important pass of the Great Wall, in this era, was only used as a simple pass, and there was not even a garrison, only Chidao passed here, and there was not much people around.

Even the infantry of the forbidden army, but carrying a considerable number of chariots and horses, a team of 6,000 people, was an adventure, but in a short time, arrived at the Shanhaiguan in the depths of the mountains.

This can become the Ming Dynasty, a hub of the card inside and outside the pass, there are his natural conditions, as long as it is built slightly, it is a Xiongguan, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

4,500 people, of them, 1,500 are from the Dinghai Navy, they are mature workers, as well as engineers, all kinds of machinery, they are the main force of construction, carry a variety of convenient tools, can be quickly constructed, at the same time, cement is also high-grade, easy to coagulate.

Ordinary cement may take ten days and half a month to be able to condense, before it is completely condensed, his protective power is not high, but this, in the current temperature state, as long as a little treatment, at most 4 days, can be completely condensed.

A total of 6 fortresses were carried, and even in the design, the height of these fortresses was not too high, none of them could be built to 35 meters, at most one was 25 meters, and it was not very large, much smaller than the smallest fortress in the Northern Song Dynasty at present, so as to ensure that the construction was completed in a short time.

Even if it is a navy worker, their speed is faster than the average worker, there is a limit, under the same conditions, a smaller amount of work, of course, the construction is fast, if in terms of defense and efficiency, if chosen, the efficiency should be the highest.

At this time, the most nervous is 1500 soldiers, in the hinterland of the enemy, only 1500 of them, not to mention the same number of cavalry, even 1000 cavalry, can pose a huge threat to them, without the protection of the fortress, their combat effectiveness can not be played at all.

Fortunately, according to the previous investigation, at this point in time, very few troops passed by here, and the arrangement of the Liaodong Peninsula also told them that once the troops in Tokyo were attracted, they would be safe enough.

4 fortresses started at the same time, at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye, constantly increasing, a total of 2 nodes blocked, the other one is a little westerly, for the time being, as long as these two are blocked, the army from outside the gate will not be able to enter for a short time, only after these four are completed, will consider blocking the other one.

Liao State would not have thought that the Northern Song Dynasty not only took risks, but also landed 3,000 cavalry on the Liaodong Peninsula, and ambushed a large number of personnel here in Shanhaiguan, preparing to have a draw from the bottom of the kettle.

Liao Xingzong was also dizzy, and at this time, an urgent report from Tokyo came up.

The urgent report was sent to Tokyo first, and Tokyo sent another 30,000 people in an emergency state, and these 30,000 were much slower than the previous ones, and it was impossible to set off immediately, and it would take a day or two to prepare.

Liao Xingzong, who was already dizzy by the courtiers, was furious after seeing this situation.

The strongest Liao State in East Asia, even the Northern Song Dynasty had to bow its head, and the Liao State, which was destroyed in Western Xia, actually encountered internal attacks in a row.

Yuan Hao's sneak attack can be said to be an accident, but it dealt a heavy blow to the Liao State, and now it is here again, it is impossible to let them continue to develop, in case there are some more terrible problems, and kill a few million, the Liao State will not even be able to make up the basic population.

Regardless of the opposition of the courtiers, Liao Xingzong once again decided to drive the expedition in person, 150,000 elite Tielin Army, as well as the Praetorian Guard, etc., 250,000 troops, began to prepare for the expedition, even if it was a plow, but also to plow the Liaodong Peninsula.

Liao Xingzong's approach was later considered a huge trick, which not only made Liao's already tight financial situation worse, but also lost the best opportunity to support.

From Zhongjing to Tokyo, don't look at only a few hundred miles, but for the opening of the 250,000 army, it also takes a long time, really when the army enters the Liaodong Peninsula, then there is only one way to support Nanjing in the south, that is, Shanhaiguan, but when he finally arrived at Shanhaiguan, he faced the closure of at least 4 fortresses.

The sea ship has been transported several times in a row, a large number of materials have been transported, the construction of 6 fortresses has been completed, and 3 passes have been perfectly blocked, under this premise, knowing that Liao Xingzong is personally driving in Liaodong, he simply strengthened the defense of Shanhaiguan, the perfect combination of 4 fortresses, Shanhaiguan is unbreakable.

It's a pity that the Liao State has no satellite maps, and there are no front and rear eyes, they don't even know who the opponent is, according to the inference of the Khitan generals on the front line, the most likely is the northern tribes, they even got the direction wrong, and the final result, of course, is even more biased.

The dispatch of the army took a total of 7 days, which was 15 days since the first landing on the Liaodong Peninsula and 10 days since the annihilation of the 5,000 cavalry.

In the era of cold weapons, such a reaction speed has exceeded the ordinary reaction speed, which should be regarded as a very fast premise, but he is still a little slower, in fact, 2 days after Liao Xingzong led the army to the west, and when he had not yet arrived in Tokyo, the Northern Song Dynasty was fully prepared and ready to do it at any time.

The scheduled time should have been five or six days after the landing, but the development of the plantation went smoothly, especially the communication with the sea vessels, after the landing, the first agreed time, not only sent away more than 200 wounded, but also sent away more than 3,000 captured horses, and likewise, received the support of 1,500 people.

3,000 people, it is impossible to complete the entire task, before the time was urgent, but about 3,000 people were selected, and after the initial results, of course, the strength was strengthened.

Aside from the casualties, there were about 4,000 people in the hands of the planter, and after a brief rest, he had the ability to fight again.

The intelligence network of the Northern Song Dynasty is now very developed, and the news of Liao Xingzong's personal expedition has been judged by the intelligence officers before he is dispatched.

A large number of military and civilian materials were collected, and these soldiers who were all over Zhongjing also said goodbye to their families, this was not hidden at all, as long as they investigated a little in Zhongjing, they could know.

In this case, you can't do it rashly, in case you rush into the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun here, and report to Liao Xingzong urgently, and then just make a detour, isn't that equivalent to sending you to death.

After carefully analyzing the news, Han Qi decided on the time of the entire operation, setting back 10 to 15 days, at least until Liao Xingzong entered Tokyo, or even entered the Liaodong Peninsula.

The Northern Expedition was postponed a little, but the army in charge of the Northern Expedition did not relax at all, this was the largest military operation against the Liao State by the Northern Song Dynasty since the alliance of Zhenzong and Yuanyuan, no matter how prepared it was, it was not too much.

Similarly, from a strategic point of view, once Liao Xingzong entered the Liaodong Peninsula, the previous arrangement worked, on the one hand, Shanhaiguan here, continue to increase construction, as long as it is not discovered, it will be built on a large scale, on the other hand, through contact, inform the plant, not to kill, not even confined to the Liaodong Peninsula, after determining the introduction of Liao Xingzong, you can consider, to the north.

That's right, to the north, even if the cavalry's mobility is flexible, three or four hundred miles a day is already the limit, if you run again, do you want horses, do you want people, as long as you continue to attract north, then Liaoguo will not have the support of troops in a short period of time, even if Shanhaiguan can't hold it, the time to run simply by land will delay a lot, if you really run day and night, if you run, how much is the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

A series of measures were arranged, especially through the connection of fast horses and ships, so that the Northern Song Dynasty army on three sides was twisted into a rope, linked with each other, and cooperated with each other, and at this moment, he didn't even know where the enemy was and what the enemy's purpose was.
