The veterans are also all using their lives, the strong men see that victory is in sight and fight fiercely, Aliqi is about to break the city, but he didn't expect that the cavalry he sent out fled back in embarrassment, followed by the cavalry of the brigade, and the banner turned out to be the Zhending Mansion army that was as timid as a rat and did not dare to come out in the Zhending Mansion. However, looking at the number of more than 1,000 people, it is not worrying, but the Liao soldiers have been unable to attack for a long time, and they have already retreated, and when they saw that the other party was coming, the cavalry brigade was met with strong resistance from the defenders of the city wall, so they naturally retreated.

Zhao Long shouted: "Rush over directly and kill the rebels under the city wall." Zhao Long led the cavalry to charge forward, Luda protected on the flanks, and the Liao infantry who were retreating under the city wall were unlucky, and were stabbed down by the cavalry with spears, and in the blink of an eye, they cleaned up under the city wall.

Lu Dadao: Good Zhao Long, you are good at marksmanship, and you can kill happily. ”

"Your shovel is powerful, but it is not good to kill people, and you are covered in blood." Zhao Longdao.

It turned out that Luda had a lot of strength, and the demon subjugation battles were all smashed on the head, "Hahaha, okay, you still have some conscience, don't let my brother sell the horse to you." ”

The two led the cavalry to battle under the city, and more than a thousand soldiers were clearly defined. On the opposite side, Alich was also rearranging the soldiers, but the cavalry had lost a lot, and there were fifteen hundred men. The infantry was even more killed and wounded, almost more than 4,000 people, and it was only half a day's work, and a small town with a big fart reimbursed nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, and their own war horses were also killed.

Aliqi's younger brother Ali Wei said: "Brother, the enemy has a strong city and cavalry support, it is difficult to take the city today, it is better to go south, let's go to Zanhuang and destroy a few town stores so that the brothers can have a good time." ”

Aliqi nodded, today's Liao State is no longer the Liao State of the past, most of the territory north of Liaodong and the Mongolian steppe are no longer Liao's, the national strength is depleted, morale is low, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as before, this time the south is not to capture the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but to obtain more money and food to support the protracted battle between the Liao army and the Jin State.

"It makes sense, other troops are all grabbing money and food, so we don't need to spend our troops here. Retreat three miles and rest for the time being. Aliqi ordered.

Everyone retreated, the firehead army buried the pot for breakfast, and the war horses ate the food. It didn't take long for the cavalry to retreat and the infantry to slowly move south.

On the city wall, the old village chief Shi also came with hundreds of sturdy women who had not escaped, carrying steamed buns and porridge, and bringing food to everyone.

Zhao Long said to Luda: "I ran out secretly, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Zhending City in the future, and the supply will depend on you." ”

Lu Da said: "There is grain and grass, all of them are in the mountains of Jingcheng County, and it is not convenient to go back to transport them, why not rob them from the Liao army, anyway, they are also robbing the people." The Liao army's team escorting grain and grass north was very weakly defended. ”

Shan Shiqi also came, and he was tired enough from this battle.

"What should we do as soon as the Liao soldiers leave," Shan Shiqi asked.

Luda said: "The Liao army will go south, let's follow the south, looking for a small force to annihilate, in short, we can't let the Liao soldiers get away." ”

"What about the eight thousand strong men in this town, how to deal with them, dismiss them on the spot, or take them with them," Shan Shiqi asked.

"Shimen Town is a refuge for the people nearby, and they can't lose it, but they can't feed so many strong men, leaving two thousand strong men is enough to defend the general Liao soldiers, and the other six thousand let's take it away. Ruda said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll organize the strong men and prepare to leave Shimen Town." Shan Shiqi immediately went to inquire about the strong men, and at the same time gave the strong men who had military merits a white strip, what a white strip, killed a Liao soldier, rewarded a white strip of one acre of land, and the strong men who died in the battle were also registered, and when the battle was over, they would look at the situation and compensate them.

Shan Shiqi asked Zhuang Ding if he was willing to continue to be a soldier and continue to fight the Liao soldiers, most of the people were still willing to go, and Shimen Town left more than 3,000 people and took away 4,000 Zhuang Ding.

Luda arranged for Shan Shiqi to lead the Zhuangding team, and Luda and Zhao Long led the cavalry team.

Luda said: "We are not a team, how to fight this battle, whether to separate or act together." ”

Zhao Long said helplessly: "I have already told you that I ran out with my soldiers, and I don't want to go back, even if I die on the battlefield, I don't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, so let's follow you." ”

"Okay, I see that you are also a man, just be my lieutenant general, and when I come back to the Jeju Army, there will be a position of battalion commander."

The two armies were combined, with Luda and Zhao Long leading more than 1,500 cavalry, and Shan Shiqi leading more than 4,000 reserve infantry.

When the team is large, the logistics supply will be large, and the first priority is to find food.

Luda sent scouts, and soon found out that the Liao soldiers had hoarded looted grain near Longfeng Lake, and the amount was quite a lot.

Luda called the big guy to discuss, and Luda said: "The warehouse here is very hidden, only less than a thousand Liao soldiers are guarded, Shan Shiqi, you can lead the troops up, and take this place with a bang." ”

Zhao Long said: "A thousand soldiers are also soldiers, and four thousand strong men are also strong men, I am afraid that the casualties will be not small." ”

"Ci is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of money, and if he does not take some soldiers to train his hands, if this reserve soldier encounters an elite army, it will be even more death. In this way, you lead three hundred cavalry to storm, and after disrupting the enemy, Shanshiqi leads the strong men to pounce on it, just be careful not to set fire, the food they rob is all from the common people. Ruda said.

Shan Shiqi and Zhao Long both agreed, and marched thirty miles in the evening, arriving near Longfeng Lake, and the army hid and rested, and waited until the eve of dawn, that is, at more than four o'clock in the morning, when it was the coldest, and the Liao soldiers guarding the warehouse were sleepy.

Luda said: "Zhao Long lead the troops, send a signal if there is an ambush, and scatter him in one go without a problem, so that the reserve soldiers can practice." ”

Zhao Long stroked his arm and said, "Look at me."

Zhao Long did not lead many troops, only 300 cavalry, the horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and the Liao army almost did not encounter any resistance after coming to Hebei, and there were almost no decent officers and soldiers everywhere they went, so the defense was unusually lax, that is, they found a small village, occupied, as a temporary warehouse, more than a dozen Liao soldiers who were sentry fell asleep, Zhao Long was not uncommon to send any sharp soldiers, the cavalry swooped over, the steel knife was crossed, and the sentry was still dreaming.

Open the fence, the cavalry rushed in, shouted and killed as soon as the Liao soldiers ran out of the room, where was the cavalry opponent of the Liao army with untidy weapons and armor, they were killed in a moment, Zhao Long led the cavalry to kill a circle, and did not encounter any decent resistance. The cavalry sighed: "This Liao soldier is also so virtuous, we are still afraid to hide in the city and dare not come out." ”
