The distance of three or four hundred steps is not a very long distance for any person, less than 300 meters, if you run with all your strength, it will not exceed 40 seconds, even if it is a fully armed soldier, but the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty is carefully selected from the hundreds of millions of people in the Northern Song Dynasty, and has undergone strict training, and its own physical fitness is quite outstanding.

The most important thing is that the most elite ones in the forefront of the Northern Expeditionary Army, if not the most elite ones, can be said to be the best, these soldiers, first of all, have surpassed many people in terms of physical fitness, and it is not an exaggeration to call them supermen.

Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the soldiers wearing foot armor quickly crossed the distance of 300 steps and arrived at the gaps that were blown open.

Opportunities are often in the blink of an eye, when the Liao army found out, the Song army had already occupied the position of the gap, the Liao army had not fully woken up from the shock, what kind of magic was used in this city wall, it was broken, and they did not delay to know that once the Song army invaded the city, for them, there was absolutely no good fruit to eat.

The soldiers are fierce, the discipline of the Northern Song Dynasty is good, and they may not slaughter the city, but no one knows whether these soldiers can survive.

When ordinary people guess the other party, they often do not stand on a fair standpoint, but on their own standpoint, and what they will do in the face of certain situations to guess the other party, in this case, there is only one result for these Liao troops.

Being slaughtered, even if the civilians in the city, they will not be slaughtered, but they, the soldiers, will definitely do this, which also inspires their courage.

A large number of Liao troops, without the mobilization of the generals, spontaneously organized, and some of them were braver, even ignoring the collapsing city wall, and jumped directly on it.

The walls of the few meters high, the walls of Oritsu Province, are almost 9 meters, which is equivalent to an ordinary 3-story building, and for ordinary people, jumping from a 3-story height should not have too many problems as long as you are prepared.

But this is not an ordinary time, this is the city wall that has been blown down, and there are still rubble falling, and at the position of the gap, a large number of rubble is piled up, falling from a height of eight or nine meters, and the result can be imagined.

When it falls from above, at least hundreds of Liao troops are injured, and some of them fall directly and their heads are bleeding, even if they are injured in their legs and feet, waiting for them is also a catastrophe, on the battlefield, either you die, or I die, fall down, the legs and feet are injured, and under the premise of not being able to move, you can only die.

But more people jumped down, and those lucky surviving Liao troops, after tidying up their footsteps a little, picked up their weapons and rushed towards the Song army.

The Liao army, dressed in animal skins, collided with the warriors who were completely covered in steel and completely shrouded in steel, and waved the weapons in their hands at each other, with a very simple purpose, to kill each other.

In the war, the infantry fighting in close combat is always the most cruel and the most direct, rushing forward and killing the other party, so that they can survive, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, that's all they say.

The Liao army, which dared to jump from a height of more than 9 meters and survive, picked up weapons and charged forward, did not lack courage, but war, not only courage can be decided, especially in such a close fight with each other,

The sound of clanging is endless, but most of the sounds are the sound of the Liao army's long knife slashing on the infantry armor, or the sound of the steel shield, and the solid steel has become the best protection at this time.

After the Northern Song Dynasty changed its clothes, the overall protection strength has reached a very terrifying level, which is equivalent to 4 times that of the previous step armor, and the word protection, 4 times the protection is already very terrifying, even in the face of the previous Northern Song Dynasty's divine weapons, they may not be able to break it all at once, not to mention the hands of the Liao State, these ordinary iron knives, this is not an order of magnitude at all.

In the first collision, the Liao army almost didn't have any casualties, only 2 of them were armed with heavy weapons, and they smashed and injured two, or unimportant positions such as shoulders.

The most elite infantry, for the belief in the foot armor, may let the saber cut up, because of this, it can't hurt the foot armor, but the mace, especially for the head, or the vital parts of the body, may not be able to move in a large area, completely avoid, avoid some key points can still be done.

When the Song army avoided the vital point and also brandished weapons at the Liao army, how did the Liao army resist, according to tradition, when defending the city, most of the people were even wearing leather clothes, not even armor.

The first batch of charging infantry, not only the elite infantry armor, but also the best among the infantry armor, the weapons in their hands, but also the level of the magic weapon, sharpening iron like mud is not to say, high hardness alloy and through special grinding, reached a very sharp degree, in the first contact, it showed a terrible power.

Almost eighty percent of the Liao army's weapons were cut off, and at the front of the battlefield, the result of the weapons being cut was only one, death, and when the external things could not resist, they could only use the flesh.

Blood splashed, screams again and again, corpses scattered across the field, in the most extreme impact, the Liao State is at an absolute disadvantage, from the countless forbidden armies, the carefully selected elite, itself in strength and body, is no weaker than the Liao army, plus a grade higher in weapons and equipment, the final result is so terrible.

1,000 foot soldiers quickly gained a foothold in the gap, and in a short period of time, thousands of people were killed.

Those who can rush up at the first time and fight with the step armor are either strong in blood or relatively powerful, but these people are like killing chickens, and they are slaughtered cleanly, and the results are shocking.

The Liao army, which was already in a state of mental agitation because the city wall was broken, suddenly showed greater fluctuations, and many of them were even thinking about surrendering.

The guard is the calmest of all people, but he has no way, the mythical magic breaks through the defense of the city wall, which is beyond his imagination, and now, everyone has a magic weapon.

Standing on a high place, he saw everything clearly, 1,000 foot armor, holding a pitch-black long knife, easily cut off the saber of the Liao army, even a huge mace, no exception.

Cutting off the saber, this can do a lot of weapons, more precious, can not be popularized on a large scale, but even the mace, pay attention, not the body of the club, but the head of the club, the thickness of the bowl mouth, the mace made of pure iron, can not block such a weapon, what is this, a miracle.

In the hearts of the guards, this is also regarded as a miracle, even if it is a more precious weapon before, it is unimaginable to popularize a thousand people, let alone stronger, such a weapon, placed in the Liao State, can easily be sold for more than 2,000 cattle and put it on 1,000 soldiers, what is this, not a miracle.

Himself, seeing the Liao army's courageous resistance, he also wanted to fight back, but the rock-like step armor smashed this wave of attacks, and all the bloody ones who jumped down were almost slaughtered in a short period of time, and the same was true for those who jumped down and were injured, and he also saw the mood fluctuations of the remaining Liao army, and the Liao army was defeated.

You must know that the Song army only mobilized 2,000 people, not to mention the follow-up army, even if it is 2,000 steps into the gap position, it is not what the current Liao army can deal with, the most fierce and bloody, has rushed up, was slaughtered, the cumulative losses exceeded 2,000, and there are still eight or nine thousand soldiers left, but what can these soldiers do, really outside, 100,000 Song troops are watching the excitement.

This Liao general is calm and very alert, and in the face of an irreparable situation, he did not redeem it, but took advantage of the resistance of the Liao army to organize a group of elite ones and break through.

This is what Di Qing thought of, and sent nearly 4,000 heavy cavalry around, just to prevent the Liao army from running out, but the direction of the Liao general's breakthrough was the opposite direction of the gap, which was close to 400 dead soldiers, and the assault was not afraid of death.

This is also the person who finally escaped from the Zhejin Mansion, and he did not do his best, which is a disappointing place, but a low-hanging fruit of the Zhejin Mansion attracted Di Qing's attention even more.

After the dead soldiers and guards fled, the last backbone of Zhejin Mansion disappeared, and one hour later, when the last one, the Liao army of almost more than 300 people surrendered, the entire battle of Zhejin Mansion came to an end and ended.

It lasted two hours, and if you count the time spent digging the tunnel, it was almost 16 days, and Nanjing, the largest city in Youzhou, was finally breached.

The Liao army guarding Zhejin Province was annihilated by more than 9,000 people, almost 5,000 surrendered, and less than 500 people escaped or disappeared.

The losses of the Song army were not very large, that is, during the follow-up liquidation and street fighting, the casualties were almost more than 1,700, which was the largest loss since the troops were dispatched, but this loss, so far, was nothing for the 100,000 army of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Unlike Zhuozhou, Zhuozhou is a small place, at best, in addition to the army, that is, a few thousand less than ten thousand, and the army can be directly suppressed.

However, Zhejin Mansion is not only the Nanjing of the Liao State, but also the center of Youzhou, even if the Liao State does not know how to operate, but this is also a big city.

In fact, there are about 100,000 people in Zhejin Prefecture, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, some of the larger county towns may exceed Zhejin Prefecture, but in Liao, this is an out-and-out big city.

The most important thing is that this is the largest Han people settlement area in the North, and there are about 1.5 million to 2 million Han people in the entire Northland, almost all of whom are distributed in Youyun, of which more than 8 percent are in the vicinity of Zhejin Mansion, and only about 2 percent in Yunzhou, which is, in fact, the object that the Northern Song Dynasty wants to fight for and control.

Perhaps, the Northern Song Dynasty can also immigrate, otherwise, it doesn't make much sense to occupy such a huge amount of land blankly, only if there are residents and start to operate, it makes sense.

However, the Northern Song Dynasty also knew that it was difficult to assimilate them, and they had broken away from the entire Han dynasty for too long.

If it was replaced before, the Northern Song Dynasty was not so enthusiastic about intelligence gathering, and when they didn't investigate enough information, they thought that the Han people in the north were very welcoming to them, after all, there were some Han families who were inclined to the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, after the real investigation, it was discovered that only the side that was at a disadvantage in the struggle, or which side was defeated, would be inclined to the Northern Song Dynasty, and those who had the advantage or advantage had no intention of attaching themselves to the Northern Song Dynasty at all.

A hundred years is enough time to make many people forget everything, and coupled with tangible benefits, these Han families have changed their tendencies.

As for the Han people at the bottom, they have been oppressed too much and are used to it, and they may ignore the occupation of the Northern Song Dynasty, but they will not help the Northern Song Dynasty.

In this case, it is extremely difficult to convert them, especially under the threat of the Liao State.

However, for Di Qing, it was all a matter for the future, and after starting to deal with everything in Zhejin Mansion, he began to send people, Pegasus to report to Han Qi.

The importance of Zhejin Mansion, it can be said unceremoniously, is about Youyun, you can't take Zhejin Mansion, no matter how many other states you take, it's not easy to defend, but if you take Zhejin Mansion, Zhuozhou, Zhejin Mansion, and Shanhaiguan will wear a string, this itinerary is a complete whole, which means that the entire Youyun is in the scope of attack.

As long as the Great Wall is rectified and fortresses are set up in key places, next, for the Northern Song Dynasty, the clouds are in the bag.

In the middle, there are only 12 states near Youzhou, but Yunzhou, is there still any danger to defend, under the premise that Yuan Hao burned Yunzhou to the ground, as long as the Northern Song Dynasty army goes, the final result must be to break Yunzhou.

An epoch-making, several generations of Northern Song Dynasty emperors wanted, achieved, but did not achieve the wish, just like that, in the hands of Renzong, the Liao State is no longer the original, irresistible, extremely powerful empire, but a border nomad.

Without the Hanmin of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the Liao State will decline a lot in terms of manufacturing and food production, and it will no longer be able to support the huge heavy cavalry team, perhaps at the beginning, this change is very slow, but under the premise of getting longer and longer, this change will be faster and faster, in this case, the Liao State is no longer important

This will also become a turning point for the Northern Song Dynasty, so even if there are such and such problems, including Han Qi and Renzong, they still promoted such a large-scale operation, mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and huge resources, and almost the entire lifeblood of the Northern Song Dynasty was in the hands of the army.

Now, all this gambling is worth it, because Nanjing, the most powerful city in the Youyun region of the entire Liao State, and the Zhejin Mansion with strong protection, has been captured, which is the beginning of a victory, and the era of prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty has finally arrived.
