The Liao soldiers were defeated, and in this battle, more than 6,000 Liao soldiers were annihilated, more than 2,000 people were captured, and it is estimated that thousands of people retreated with minor injuries. Yeluxiong led the troops behind the palace was also frightened, not that the Liao soldiers were timid, under normal circumstances, more than 40,000 casualties and more than 10,000 people were not a big deal, they should eat, they should drink, and the war had to continue, but today's situation is too special, it can't be called a war at all, the artillery and musket positions of the Jeju army completely subverted the combat concept of the Liao soldiers, the Liao soldiers suffered casualties close to the distance of a hundred meters from the Jeju army, and the charging team was already defeated, and the smoke and loud noise made the Liao soldiers overwhelmed, and retreated for more than ten miles, The hearts of the Liao soldiers were still pounding.

Ye Luxiong was also a little palpitating, for the first time he felt a little worried, he thought that the ordinary Grass Valley had nearly 30,000 casualties, so far, although there are still 70,000 of the 100,000 soldiers brought in, but this and the matter of Grass Valley has basically failed.

"Marshal, there are rumors in the army that the Song Army uses demon methods, do you want to refute the rumors?" Yelu Zongyun asked. It turned out that the Liao soldiers were defeated this time, and the ordinary Liao soldiers felt too incredible, and they really couldn't figure out what weapons the Jeju army used were so powerful, the Liao soldiers were all ignorant nomads on the grassland, and they naturally thought of the demon law, and it was rumored in the army that Gongsun Sheng of the Jeju army used the demon method, because the Liao soldiers saw it, and Gongsun Sheng rode a four-like and followed Chao Gai.

Ye Luxiong looked at Aliyun next to him and said, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

"Ordinary soldiers are ignorant, and explaining to them what artillery is, what a musket is, and what gunpowder is a more difficult thing than ascending to the sky, instead of bothering to explain this, it is better to go down the slope and do some magic things, and by the way, teach everyone how to dodge." Alibaba Cloud said.

Yeluxiong nodded: "What the military advisor said is very true, and he will do things for the soldiers tonight." ”

It's not a difficult thing to do, get some black dog blood, get some black donkey hooves, burn yellow paper, and so on, and tell the soldiers that this thing can break the Song army's demon law, and the soldiers believe it, but there is no way to dodge the Song army's firearms, how to defeat the Song army's Aliyun.

The next day, the sky was not yet bright, the Huotou army made a meal early, the soldiers had breakfast, the Liao soldiers began to retreat again, the team was long, in addition to the Liao army itself There were tens of thousands of strong men from Hebei, these strong men drove and pulled carts under the leather whip of the Liao soldiers, unloaded, fed livestock and so on.

As the commander-in-chief, Yeluxiong led his troops to fight all the year round, and when he retreated, he did a good job, with light cavalry wandering around, and in the middle was the infantry protecting the baggage team and slowly moving forward.

The front army came from the sound of a vigilant horn, and the cavalry of the three thousand Liao army quickly assembled, and Yang Zhi and Niu Gao led more than 2,000 light cavalry to pounce up, and they did not love to fight. The Liao soldiers stopped doing the three thousand light cavalry and looked at it, good guys, don't take us seriously, run away after the fight, we are afraid of you if you have firearms, we are not afraid of you without firearms, and the Liao soldiers are the strength of cavalry.

Yang Zhi and others ran in front, and the Liao soldiers in the back chased after them, chasing for three or four miles, and the general of the Liao army shook the mace in his hand and shouted: "Stop." ”

The light cavalry was still easy to stop, and the three thousand cavalry stopped.

"General, why don't you chase it?"

"There are unharvested crops in all directions, and we must guard against fraud and retreat."

It turns out that this general is still very sensitive, chasing and chasing to find that there are crops that have not been harvested nearby, in fact, it is the king of rice poles, the common people have already taken away the bud rice sticks, leaving the straw in the ground, leaving it to rot to make fertilizer, this year's winter is dry and cold, there is little rain and snow, and the straw is dry.

Just as he was about to turn around and retreat, the fire around him started, the fire burned very fiercely, obviously with added ingredients, hundreds of points were ignited at the same time, and the smoke and fire started.

"Rush." The Liao army was really brave, and rushed out in the smoke of the fire. Shi Jin led the lancers to wait on the way back from the Liao army, and rushed out to kill one by one.

Yang Zhi and Niu Gao led the cavalry archers to shoot arrows from outside the fire, which was not an ordinary arrow, but a rocket. There are many people who are caught by arrows, those who fall off horses, and those who trample on each other.

Due to the proximity to the main force of the Liao army, within a few minutes, the main force of the Liao army arrived.

Yang Zhi ordered a retreat, and the cavalry ran away like the wind, leaving behind the smoke all over the ground and the Liao soldiers in the flames.

When Yelu Zongyun arrived with a large army, almost half of the 3,000 pursuing light cavalry had been lost, and the surviving men and horses were choked by the smoke.

Yelu Zongyun had to order a strict ban on the cavalry that came to harass him, the cavalry of the Jeju army was really extremely difficult, equipped with a small number of crossbows, the power of the crossbow arrows was amazing, not to mention that there were many fire and thunder bullets, fierce fire oil, either shooting arrows or setting fire, and then throwing a few fire and thunder bullets in the middle of the night. The Liao army usually couldn't sleep all night long, and as soon as they fell asleep here, the horn sounded nearby, and the Liao army assembled to prepare for the battle, but the instantaneous effort disappeared without a trace. The Liao army had just disbanded the team, and the light cavalry of the Jeju army came up secretly again, shooting hundreds of rockets, and the rockets fired by the crossbow of the god arm were far away, and more than a dozen tents were burned in the blink of an eye. When the light cavalry of the Liao army chased out, the enemy had already run away. Such repeated sneak attacks made the Liao soldiers unable to bear it anymore and began to become hysterical.

When the cavalry of the vanguard army was harassing the Liao soldiers, Chao Gai was also discussing military action, and the Liao soldiers retreated, and how to pursue them became a big problem.

The Chinese army, Chao Gai sat in the center, Chao Gai said: "Although the Liao soldiers were defeated, but the strength is still there, if the Daimyofu Army, the Zhending Army and our Jeju Army work together to encircle and suppress it, they will definitely be able to wipe it out, but the current situation is also very clear to everyone, only our Jeju Army is fighting, and we have to beware of these two troops, so I decided to send only part of the troops to cooperate with the vanguard army to pursue the Liao soldiers and eliminate the Liao soldiers to the greatest extent." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all express their understanding, the situation is like this, you have to be careful of your rear while fighting with the Liao soldiers, you must know that the risk of the Jeju army coming to Hebei to fight is very great, and the enemy is not only the Liao soldiers.

Sun An said: "The Liao soldiers have penetrated deep into the territory of Hebei, and now they have failed one after another, and it is a good time to chase and destroy, but only send cavalry to chase and destroy." ”

Chao Gai nodded: "Okay, just follow your proposal." Ordered, Sun An as the main general, Qin Ming, and Huang Xin as deputy generals led 8,000 cavalry to chase and annihilate the Liao soldiers, and cooperated with the vanguard army to weaken the strength of the Liao soldiers to the greatest extent. ”

"No." Sun An, Qin Ming, and Huang Xin took the order and left.

Li Kui said: "Their infantry pursued and fought, but our infantry fought. ”
