No matter how sluggish the Liao army is, when the army besieges it, it should wake up, and they make preparations in a panic and start a camp to fight.

This surprised the general of the Northern Song Dynasty, how long has the Liao army on this border not been on the battlefield, and how arrogant they are, in the face of several times the army, they actually dare to fight.

Is it possible, I really think that the army of the Northern Song Dynasty is all soft-footed shrimp, this is impossible, even if the longbow is not improved, the conventional troops of the Northern Song Dynasty in the past, about 3 times the strength, are enough to defeat the Liao army, let alone more than 5 times.

This battle has nothing to do with Di Qing, he needs to quickly go north, open the road to Zhejin Mansion, and use the shortest time to attack Zhejin Mansion.

No matter how much other territory there is, if there is no Zhijin Prefecture, the entire strategic task will fail, and once the Zhijin Prefecture is taken, these states in the south of the Zhijin Prefecture will almost be in the bag.

50,000 riders are the lead and the follow-up 50,000 will slowly follow, according to the two states, at most 250 miles, and now a little less, because they have gone deep into the Liao realm, which is about 210 miles, at the current speed of horseback riding, that is, 2 days, or 3 days' journey.

The next road, Di Qing has to complete it alone, the only support is in the fortress of Shanhaiguan, and there is some intelligence, but 100,000 against Youzhou's remaining 100,000 or 20,000 troops is not a problem at all, his task is speed.

Back to the border side, the Liao army battalion, 150,000 troops surrounded the four camps, although they did not enter the combat mission in the territory of Liao, but these four battalions must be taken, at least, to cripple them, besieged, not to let them escape.

Because of the existence of explosives, even if the Liao army chooses the most secure and chooses to retreat into the camp, there is no way to hold it, and now it is even more so when it goes out of the camp to fight in the field.

The Song army was slightly reorganized, with heavy infantry as the front guard, with large spears to form defensive positions, and then followed by longbows, while the small number of heavy cavalry was placed on the flanks, and after the Liao army's camp was broken, it was used in pursuit.

The Liao army did not estimate the occupation, these Liao troops on the border of Sanguan, except for fighting grass valley, almost had no combat experience, they thought that these elite forbidden troops were still the civilians they had encountered before, and the final result was of course miserable.

The Liao army charged by the group, and finally stopped at about 150 steps, which seemed to be a close distance, but it became a curse, and countless flying long arrows, especially those armor-piercing arrows, easily tore the heavy armor they were proud of, and both men and horses suffered heavy losses.

Faced with an unbearable attack, they couldn't even run, the longbow had a range of more than 300 paces at most, so that between 150 steps and 300 steps, it became a Shura field, half of the Liao army was directly killed here, and there was no battle, and all of a sudden, the Liao army lost more than half.

In the process of fleeing in panic, nearly 7,000 heavy cavalry, divided into more than a dozen squads, pursued the Liao army.

One side lost morale and fled in a hurry, and the morale of one side was high, and the equipment and everything were much exceeded, and under the cover-up, the Liao army that could escape back did not exceed 10,000 people.

The loss of two-thirds at once is a huge blow to any team, these Liao troops were also divided into four parts, the least one camp, only 2,000 people left, and the most one was only about 4,000 people.

Although it is said that these camps, located on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasties, belong to the relatively strong camps of the Liao State, and they are semi-permanent, but they have not waited for a respite, and the Song army's attack began again.

The same longbow, for the previous attack on the Liao army, the longbowmen who participated in the battle were only one-third of the entire Song army, and they did not go all out, they still had spare strength, and those who were transferred later suppressed the camp.

Arrow rain, this name on the battlefield, but almost dense, the entire battlefield is filled with arrow rain, no one has ever seen it, dense, like rain down, there is no way to dodge, and the rest of the Liao army is hiding behind a fixed defense, or behind a stone, a little trembling.

The Liao State is also considered to be strong, but how could they have seen such a terrible rain of arrows, the most important thing is that the defense of those stones, in the face of the armor-piercing arrows, was almost penetrated, and the dense rain of arrows ploughed all the places, and there were arrows everywhere.

I knew that the Northern Song Dynasty was rich, but I didn't know that the Northern Song Dynasty was rich to this extent, such a fine iron arrow, don't want money to release it, is it possible that the other party doesn't know how to be tired.

In itself, the preparation for this attack was to break the entire camp, attack the inside, blow up the perimeter with explosives, and finally annihilate it completely.

But it takes time for explosives to be placed, and they only know one, that is, to use coffins and dig tunnels, this method is a bit of a waste of time, and now the Liao army has suffered heavy losses, and it is simply unable to attack, and in the interval of the rain of arrows, it stopped for a short time, and let the cloud ladder set up the camp.

The city wall of the Liao State itself is more than a step worse than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, this is not a city, but a barracks, how high the defense is, when the cloud ladder is built, the end of the Liao army is already doomed.

Although it is said that there is no rain of arrows to suppress, there are at least 2,000 elite snipers in the rear, and once the Liao army comes out, they will be eliminated at a fixed point.

There was no war, the heavy infantry boarded the barracks, and then, the Liao army was over, the 2,000-man barracks could not be fully defended at all, and they lost part of it when they were suppressed by the rain of arrows, facing the same number of more well-equipped heavy infantry, they were not opponents at all.

The strength of the Liao State lies in the heavy cavalry, in the horses, once the defense is fixed, it is more than one grade worse than the Northern Song Dynasty, well-equipped and poor, and has almost no ability to turn the tables.

Except for some talented and powerful Liao generals, in a desperate situation, the counterattack was successful, causing some casualties to the Song army, and the rest did not have any impact at all, and the war was over when the sun had not officially set westward.

From the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, it took less than 2 hours in the middle, and the Northern Song Dynasty almost wiped out the Liao army on the border with more than 4,000 casualties and made a good start.

Sanguan, Han Qi, who had been using a telescope and watching the entire war process from afar, was very satisfied, this progress was much faster than he expected.

In the previous plan, the time used to encircle the Liao army was tentatively set at 3 days, and if the Liao army resisted, the time for possible annihilation would be extended to 20 days, and it would take 15 days to blow up the Liao army's camp and then completely annihilate them.

Many of the arrangements were not to annihilate the Liao army, but to prevent the Liao army from escaping and communicating with the outside world.

Now, under the premise that the Liao army went out of the camp to fight and lost most of the Liao army, the whole process only took 2 days, and even Di Qing, the main force of the Northern Expedition, did not go too far.

After thinking about it for a while, Han Qi did not transfer personnel to support Di Qing, with the current information in the Northern Song Dynasty, there are not many Liao troops in the entire Youzhou, and 100,000 troops are already more than enough, and if more troops are really mobilized, it will have an impact.

To a certain extent, speed is the key, and this time in the high-speed troops of the Northern Expedition, except for leaving 7,000 heavy cavalry, Di Qing, who had been supported by others, had no ability to continue.

Soon, Han Qi issued an order, in addition to the Sanguan position to retain 50,000 troops, and nearly 10,000 cavalry, the remaining 90,000 people began to spread around, and when Di Qing faced Zhejin Mansion, they began to gradually attack other states, and strive to take it at the same time.

When night falls, the 90,000 troops rest for a while, they are not responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, when there is no large enemy force around, they need to recover as much as possible, they will attack the rest of the Liao country in the next time, and strive to occupy more land.

And the detailed figures have also been reported, 4,000 casualties, which is a lot of casualties for a certain forbidden army, but for the entire Northern Expeditionary Army, it is not big at all, not to mention, no more than 500 people died in direct battle, most of them were injured.

Dingjun's changes to the Northern Song Dynasty are not only limited to the army, logistics and medical care are also the same, the medical development of the Northern Song Dynasty has been to a considerable extent, and in the development and inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine, the Northern Song Dynasty is also quite powerful, but it is aimed at ordinary citizens and high-ranking officials.

Although military doctors will be recruited in the barracks, most of these military doctors are from the Tai Hospital, and they are also officials, and their purpose is to ensure the safety of high-ranking generals.

However, under the improvement of the Ding Navy, the nurse system began to be introduced, because considering the atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty, women were not selected, and this backlash would be great, but after training, nurses could greatly reduce casualties.

At that time, when I was in the northwest, I didn't catch up, this time, with the Northern Expeditionary Army, there were close to 6,000 nurses, who had undergone simple training and could master various bandaging methods, the same, a large amount of high alcohol, to clean the wound to avoid infection, and in the same way, in the face of some lacerations and large wounds, they could also use gut and perform sutures.

Even if it is the simplest, psychological comfort, can make the casualty rate drop on a large scale, such a more scientific method, even more so, that night, for the wounded soldiers, it is a ghost gate, many battlefields, the first night, the wounded soldiers died the most, and then, it will gradually decrease, lasting a week, or even longer, but a week later, there will be a large-scale decline.

Now, on the first day, there is a massive decline, except for a few, the injuries are so severe that they cannot be recovered, and these are mostly stabbed to the core, or have lost too much blood.

Zhao Xin also knows that the method of replenishing blood, but this difficulty is slightly greater, in this era, the sterile environment is difficult to achieve, blood transfusion and storage are problematic, where are the nurses of senior generals, there are some who have mastered the method of preliminary blood transfusion, and carry blood transfusion tools, at the bottom, there is no way, can only supplement some blood-replenishing medicinal materials.

Even if there are so many imperfections, the role of the whole nurse is very huge, more than 3,500 wounded soldiers, according to the previous law, at least more than 800 will die that day, and in the next few days, more than 1,500 will die one after another, and no more than 1,000 people may survive in the end.

However, only more than 40 died that day, and the next day it was sharply reduced to 12 people, more than 3,500 wounded soldiers, and finally less than 70 people died of serious injuries.

This not only frightened the wounded barracks, the Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army, there were many people who participated in the war, the most terrible, but also the most demoralized was the injury, in the infection, the miserable death, the kind of unwilling and deafening screams, made the wounded barracks a kind of forbidden place, but now, scattered deaths and a large number of obvious recoveries, even Han Qi was alarmed.

In fact, in the Battle of the Northwest, Han Qi had already used some nursing things under Zhao Xin's suggestion, such as cleaning the wound with strong alcohol and cleaning the bandage with hot water, the effect was good at that time, but in the Northwest, the process of the war was very short, when it was against Xingqing Mansion, basically, there were few casualties, there was no direct engagement, and later against the Western Xia cavalry, it was also a sneak attack, all of which were elite, and the final casualties were very few, even if there was an effect, it was not so obvious.

This time, even if it is a war several times, the casualties of 4000 are quite large, and I thought that at least one or two thousand deaths were reduced, but it was reduced to 70, that is, the entire Liao army was annihilated, but less than 600 died, which is not a small proportion.

Han Qi knew, the most he could do was to pay attention to it and promote it in the future, during the war.

For the superiors, whether it is 600 dead or wounded, or 4000 dead and wounded, it is not very important, but this is huge for the morale of the army, as long as it is not killed on the spot, the possibility of being alive is very high, and the most important thing is that after several battlefields and several wounds, the veterans, after recovery, will also improve the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

These are all later words, nurses can only be trained by the Dinghai Navy, and in the future, we will increase the intensity of cooperation, send more people to train, or invite the teachers of the Dinghai Navy to give lectures, this is not a problem, and the key now is to expand the results of the war.

The next day, tens of thousands of troops were divided into several parts, each part was about 15,000, and they pounced on the six states, and once they were defeated, plus the Etsu Province, the entire 12 states near the Etsu Province would be captured by two-thirds.

At the same time, he also passed the news to Di Qing, telling him that the back was stable, and there was no possibility of the Liao army appearing, so that he could fight with peace of mind and achieve greater results.

When Di Qing got the news, he was already in Zhuozhou, and the 50,000 troops crossed a distance of more than 100 miles at a very fast speed, directly under the city of Zhuozhou, besieging Zhuozhou, and the war was about to break out.
