Watching the dismount and foot battle, the armor of the palace division army was once again repelled by the Song army, who was in a desperate situation and could only fight to the death, and retreated to the side to rest and recuperate under the cover of the archers of the royal tent army. A detailed member of the palace division army behind Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty, do you want to let the palace guards rest?" It's been a day of storming, and of course there are a lot of enemies killed, and there are thousands of self-inflicted losses. This is the palace division army! It's getting late now, so it's better to attack tomorrow tomorrow. ”

Yelu Yanxi turned around and looked at him coldly: "Couldn't the sons of the palace army fight at night?" ”

The performance of the Liao army this time still made Yelu Yanxi a little disappointed. The overwhelming numerical advantage, or the belly and back of the opponent, I thought it could be easily won. But who knew that after a whole day, no effective breakthrough was formed.

Of course, this has the role of the Song army's hard village, a fence wall, a trench, and an eight-foot-high earthen wall, all of which have to be filled with corpses.

But the combat effectiveness of the Liao army still disappointed Yelu Yanxi very much! With 80,000 people, he attacked the weak brigade of 10,000 Song troops, and he couldn't fight hard! On the side of Wuqing County, the strong soldiers of the Song army defeated the elite of Gongfen several times, if this fight continues, will the Liao State still have a future?

And Yelu Yanxi has always had Xiao Baoxian in his heart. Xiao Baoxian only had 8,000 regular soldiers in his hands, but he was facing the elite of the Song army, even in terms of the quantity and quality of cavalry, he was better than Xiao Baoxian.

How many days can Xiao Bao survive by bluffing first? In case he is defeated in Wuqing County, the Song army on the eastern front will approach the city of Xijinfu!

Although the city of Xijin is a fortified city, there are many defenders in the city, and it should not be lost for a while.

But what if? The commander of the Song army on the East Hebei Road is the last of the four famous marshals, and he is the best at bribing and winning over Wu Haogu! God knows what kind of sky-high price he will offer to Xijin Mansion City?

Thinking of this, Yelu Yanxi's face was as pale as iron, and his voice was gloomy: "This battle is directly related to my century-old hegemony of Daliao. If we can turn their Hebei West Road upside down before the Song people's East Route Army approaches Yanjing, we can even approach the Yellow River with a brigade of troops. Then get a new alliance from the Song people. This time, I will ask the Southern Dynasty for 3 million one-year coins! ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the northeast: "More than 300 miles away, the Song people's East Road army is pressing towards Yanjing, if they let them get their hands first, then our great world will be stormy!" ”

When it came to the elite of the Song army that was approaching the city of Xijin Mansion in the east, the generals around Yelu Yanxi felt a little hairy in their hearts.

This elite of the Song army used cavalry to crush the cavalry of the palace army! What Da Liao is proud of is the cavalry, but it can't beat the Great Song Iron Cavalry in Cangzhou......

Fortunately, the soldiers and horses placed by the Song army on the West Road of Hebei were much more normal, they were still so weak, and the command was also very stupid, so they easily fell into the trap.

However, the Song army, which was already known for its good defense, intensified its efforts to build a hard village, and the layers of fortifications had to be filled with human lives. Although the Song army encountered at Anyangkoupu was not strong in combat, it still repelled more than ten waves of offensive attacks of the Liao army. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Liao army is not very strong!

Yelu Yanxi's heart was heavy, and after a while, he glanced at his generals again, and said categorically: "The Song army in front of you is a weak brigade!" And it has already been bold, as long as you wait for all your strength to attack day and night, why is it difficult to break it?

Breaking the Song army of Anyangkoupav, the entire Dingzhou Road is in my big bag! ”

He waved his hand violently: "Order, raise the fire!" Tonight, I will fight to the death with the Song people! Let my royal tent army wear heavy armor, hold a sharp blade, and serve as a choice of fronts! After taking the Dingzhou Road, I will lead you and others to march to Kaifeng Mansion!"

After the order to march to Kaifeng Mansion was conveyed, the three armies immediately cheered!

Now the soldiers who follow Yelu Yanxi are all Liao soldiers who bring their own dry food, and the harvest depends on the grass valley! The hundred years of peace in Song and Liao made these "self-ganliao" have no place to fight grass valleys, and their lives will naturally not be moisturized. Now it's a rare opportunity, if you can really go to Kaifeng Mansion to grab a handful, it will really be enough for a few lifetimes......

In the cheers, the royal tent army of Yelu Yanxi of the brigade was stubborn and stubborn, and they came out bravely, just tonight, they were going to crush Zhong Fu's army and open the passage for the Great Liao Heavenly Soldiers to march to Kaifeng Mansion!

……

Under Yanjing City, on the bank of the Sanggan River, facing the head of the pontoon bridge, at this time, a sandbag fortification was also erected, and three rows of soldiers dressed in fully equipped armor and holding expensive Jiehe cavalry crossbows (Jiehe cavalry crossbows are all made by private workshops run by good craftsmen, with exquisite materials and powerful power, not comparable to mass-produced Jiehe crossbows), have been listed in strict formation.

They are Cangzhou knights who dismounted to fight, not the fake army of Wu Haogu. The dummy knights scattered into squads and hid in the darkness. The cavalry who arrived with Zhao Zhongge built simple fortifications between Yanjing City and the Sanggan River. After dark, they simply dismounted and acted as infantrymen. Use the Jiehe riding crossbow and sword and shield in your hand to fight against the Liao army. Only the dummy knights, who were excellent in equestrian skills, still rode horses in half-costumes, waiting for the right opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Liao army that rushed from Yanjing City or on the other side of the Sanggan River.

Countless torches flowed along the pontoon bridge in the night. This is the grass valley soldiers and the guards of the Liao Guogong branch army who dismounted to fight, as well as a small number of regular soldiers.

Xiao Baoxian, who chose to fight at night, also gave up the cavalry decisive battle, but let the cavalry under his command dismount, walk across the pontoon bridge, and then attack the position of the Song army.

The reason for not fighting horse battles is also very simple, the visibility at night is too poor, the difficulty of controlling horses is too high, and the "bridgehead area" on the other side of the Sangan River is too narrow for the horse team to rush at all. So Xiao Baoxian simply let the palace divide the army to dismount and fight.

However, he did not fail to take into account the threat of the particularly capable cavalry of the Song people, so before the dismounted cavalry attacked, he transferred many carriages with the army and pushed them onto the battlefield, blocking the inevitable path of the Song cavalry charging on both sides. With the dense formation of the cavalry of the Song army, if one of them collides with it carelessly, it will have to fall a big string!

Xiao Baoxian himself was on the front line, standing behind a temporary fortification connected by a string of carts, squinting at the Khitan warriors holding torches pouring towards the sandbag wall of the Song people like a tide.

In Xiao Baoxian's opinion, the cavalry of the Song people had a strong impact, but they had been avoiding hand-to-hand combat! This shows that the cavalry of the Song people is not good in hand-to-hand combat, and they will definitely not be able to defeat the warriors of the palace army.

As the warriors rushed forward, some of them made feathered arrows with their stubborn horn bows. However, in the night, although there is firelight, how can a long-distance projectile of feather arrows be accurate? Who can see where the feather arrows land? And at night, there is no way to measure the distance by observing faces and other references. Therefore, these feather arrows really did not pose any threat to the fully armored knights of the Song army.

When they walked in a little more, among the Liao soldiers who rushed to the front, some began to draw their bows and arrows, throwing heavy armor-piercing arrows at the back of the Song army's sandbag formation as they walked.

And on the Song army's side, the counterattack finally began. Instead of a single arrowhead, a ballista mounted on a platform walled with sandbags began to fire burst rockets. The sound of the crashing launch sounded, and the lit rocket roared straight towards the crowd of the Liao army. Some rockets collided with the Liao soldiers, whether it was a heavily armored soldier or an auxiliary soldier without armor, it was a result! His body was easily broken like tofu, and he fell down screaming. After a while, the sound of gunpowder bursting rang out one after another, overpowering the screams of death. What "demoralized" even more is that some bursting rockets that pierce the human body also exploded, blowing up the good dead (maybe checkmates)! The limbs of the people were carried into the air by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and then fell heavily, and some of them even smashed on the bodies of the charging Liao soldiers. Frightened, some timid Liao soldiers hurriedly recited Amitabha...... This session of the Song people is too cruel! Buddha, you don't care about the old man?

However, the burst rocket was not the only killer weapon of the Song army's positional warfare. The more ferocious "10,000 crossbow salvo" is about to begin.

More than 1,800 knights were now divided into three columns, in a dense formation shoulder to shoulder, each armed with a crossbow, behind the sandbag stacking. The first column knelt on one knee and rested their cavalry crossbows on sandbags, the second column had flat-ended cavalry crossbows, and the third column had cavalry crossbows on the shoulders of the second column of knights. He didn't shoot right away, but waited quietly for the other party to approach.

These are knights! The psychological qualities are not comparable to ordinary infantrymen. So the distance they fired was 15 steps!

After shooting, draw your sword and charge!

The soldiers of the Liaoren Palace Division, who rushed to the front, did not realize the danger at all at this time, but because they were getting closer and closer to the enemy's position, their blood boiled.

The Song people are not good at hand-to-hand combat! Their cavalry could only charge, not hand-to-hand combat......

And the Khitan warriors are the strongest men in the world who can fight hand-to-hand combat (they have not been beaten violently by the birth girl Zhenda), are they still afraid of the weak Song people?

Suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded.

All the Khitans didn't know what was going on, and the sound of crossbow strings and the sound of arrows breaking through armor and piercing into the human body came at the same time.

1,800 cavalry crossbows opened fire at the same time, and the Khitan warriors fell down with a scream!

"Draw your sword, raise your shield, and ...... forward"

The teams of the various knights and the escorts immediately gave the order to "draw their swords, raise their shields, and move forward". Of course, it was still a battle in formation, but the cavalry phalanx was turned into a sword and shield array of infantry, hundreds of warriors dressed in full-dressed armor, shoulder to shoulder, shield after shield, long sword raised forward, and rushed in unison, and it was loaded into the chaotic Khitan array at once!
