As early as last night, Xiao Baoxian knew that he couldn't beat the other party.

The level of hand-to-hand combat of the warriors of the palace division army under his command was far inferior to the Cangzhou iron cavalry of the Song people.

But he could not make up his mind to withdraw from the battlefield. Because what is in front of him is the Nanjing Xijin Mansion of the Great Liao Empire!

This is the strongest castle of the Great Liao Empire, and it is also the basis of the Great Liao Empire's rule in Yandi!

If Xiao Baoxian couldn't lead the more than 20,000 Khitan soldiers under his command (including the grass valley soldiers and the guards of the shop) into this castle, then the Song army might take advantage of it to seize it!

As soon as the Xijin Mansion is lost, the rule of the Great Liao Empire in Yandi will collapse in an instant. The operation of the traitor Wu Haogu in the past ten years has already infiltrated his tentacles into the powerful family of Yandi. Now if the leader of a powerful family dares to say that there is no "pro-martial faction" in his family, he must be lying with a clear conscience.

Therefore, Xiao Baoxian knew that his soldiers could not defeat the enemy, but he refused to retreat.

In addition, Xiao Baoxian has another hope, that is, there are still 5,000 Khitan soldiers and more than 10,000 grass valley soldiers and guarded shop soldiers in the city of Xijin Mansion!

Although more than 10,000 people are weak soldiers, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Eighth Battalion Guard. But it can also be effective when used at critical moments. If they can drive the Jingzhou soldiers in Yanjing City out of the city to attack the back of the Song army, they may be able to force the Song people back a little, so that Xiao Baoxian can lead his troops into the city.

But what Xiao Baoxian didn't expect was that his men and horses fought the banks of the Sanggan River for a night, and Yelu Liduo in Yanjing City was as immobile as a mountain.

At dawn in the morning, Xiao Baoxian was a little skeptical, did something happen in Yanjing City, and did Yelu Liduo let the Yandi Haoqiang in the city do it?

Yanjing City ...... It won't be captured by the Song people, right?

Just when Xiao Baoxian was scaring himself, the fake knights of the brigade had already formed a formation in the south of the battlefield on the bank of the Sanggan River.

The more than 100 cavalry in advance had already rushed to the edge of the battlefield and began to clear the obstacles that hindered the cavalry's attack.

The dismounted knights of the Song army, who had been fighting defensive counterattacks all night, also jumped out of the fortifications made of sandbags at this time, lined up in a neat formation, held the cavalry crossbow with arrows, stepped on the corpses of the Liao, and approached Xiao Baoxian's defense line step by step.

Zhao Zhongge's banner also slowly appeared near the riverbank. The Zhao disciples of the brigade and the generals of the Cangzhou cavalry surrounded him. Zhao Zhongge's expression was also full of emotion and pride.

More than ten years ago, he was just the son of a concubine who was expelled by the Zhao family in Zhenzhou, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be surnamed Zhao!

Today, he is already the first general under the command of Wu Haogu, the Xuanfu envoy of the North Road of the Great Song River, and he commanded 50,000 troops under the city of Jinfu.

After the city is broken, the Zhenzhou Zhao family on the Yandi side will respect him!

Moreover, Wu Haogu has long promised that after recovering Yandi, he will be the observer of Luanzhou, one of the nine states of Yandi, and in the future, he can follow the old practice of Fuzhou and Luanzhou!

According to Wu Haogu's plan, in the future, Yanshan Road will directly govern Yanshan Mansion and Jiezhou (Jiehe Shang City), and the remaining nine prefectures will be handed over to Yandi Haoqiang to rule, and a total of nine towns will be placed for observation, all of which will follow the example of Fuzhou and Prefecture and rule hereditarily.

With such conditions, Yandi Haoqiang naturally would not resist the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers. So as long as the Hejian camp is completed, Yanjing will be in the bag.

Along with Zhao Zhongge's banner, there were also large groups of infantry marching on foot. All of them were sturdy and stubborn, and the dawn of the morning sprinkled on the tips of the spears that stood like a forest, reflecting a dazzling color of blood.

The marching infantry saw the tall and majestic Yanjing City, since Emperor Taizong defeated the Gaoliang River more than a hundred years ago, no Southern Dynasty soldiers have come here.

Moreover, the most powerful palace division army in Daliao is already a defeated general under this Northern Expeditionary Iron Army. Yanjing City is naturally also in their pocket.

I don't know who it was, but they took the lead in cheering, and then the whole army was infected, and the soldiers raised their swords and cheered.

The sound of cheers reached Xiao Baoxian's ears and the ears of the soldiers of the Khitan Palace who had fought hard all night in the east of the Sanggan River. All of them felt a deep sense of despair, and the thousands of Song people who had dismounted from their horses alone had already overwhelmed them.

Now that at least a thousand ironclad infantry have arrived, can this battle continue? In foot combat, the spear formation of the ironclad infantry of the Song army was much better than the shield and sword of the knights.

"Withdraw! Fall back! ”

Xiao Baoxian suddenly shouted loudly: "Retreat to the west bank of the Sanggan River, and then burn the pontoon bridge!" ”

Yelu Zhangnu, who was guarding Xiao Baoxian's side, immediately spoke: "You can't retreat!" The iron cavalry of the Song people has already set up a formation, and as soon as we retreat, they will just attack, maybe even the pontoon bridge will be captured......"

Xiao Bao took a look first, and sure enough, there were eight or nine teams of half-armored cavalry who had already been in formation!

"Zhang Nu, you stay behind!" Xiao Bao gritted his teeth first, handed over the task of the queen of the palace to Yelu Zhangnu, and then took the guards to the pontoon bridge on the Sanggan River without looking back.

The thousands of Liao soldiers who followed Xiao Baoxian to fight hard by the Sanggan River were not only sleepy and lacking, but also suffered a bunch of defeats in a row, and last night they had another person kill someone who lost his armor and lost his armor, and now he has no morale. If Xiao Baoxian, the coach, is willing to take the lead, then everyone can still carry it. But now that Xiao Bao has left first, what morale do others have? All rushed to the pontoon. The front, which was barely maintained, collapsed in an instant.

To resist riding on foot must be to fight in formation. If the array collapses, no matter how strong the individual combat power is, it will not be able to stop the galloping horse team.

Wu Tian, who was good at capturing fighters, did not hesitate at all, he raised his horse high, and then pointed forward and gave the order for the cavalry to charge into battle.

The dummy knights, who were divided into nine teams, launched the assault in turn according to the predetermined order.

The team led by Wu Tianqin is a pioneer as usual!

On the battlefield, the sound of hooves is like thunder, the horses are galloping, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky!

Seeing that the thunderous iron cavalry was about to break through the scattered Liao army formation, suddenly I heard a roar, and I saw a Khitan warrior, wearing bloodstained heavy armor, wielding a long-handled battle axe and rushing out of the Liao army formation, and behind him, there were dozens of hundreds of Liao army heavy armor soldiers, all wielding long-handled guys.

In any case, the iron cavalry of the Song people must be stopped!

Wu Tian was just stunned, there would be such a heroic Khitan people! But it's also brainless to the extreme. Therefore, Wu Tian was not flustered at all, but just led the cavalry under his command and trampled towards this group of Liao people who were attacking wildly.

The two sides collided together in an instant, and the long horse stabbed through the heavy armor of the Liao warrior who rushed to the front, and the strong horse crashed into the body of the Khitan warrior, knocking them into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

There were also a few spears pierced into the chests of the war horses, but the horses galloping at high speed carried huge inertia, even if they were fatally injured, they could continue to move forward, and they could still knock the Khitans with spears into the air!

There are also Khitan warriors who have succeeded in one blow, all of whom are warriors with long axes. One of them! This counterattack was organized by him, and there were dozens of Khitan warriors who had not yet lost their hearts and were willing to fight with him. That's why I launched this crazy pounce when I looked at it.

However, Yelu Zhangnu was still more clever, and did not touch Wutian's cavalry head-on, but stood on the flank of the Wutian cavalry, when Wutian's cavalry broke through the barrier of the Khitan dead soldiers, and began to clear the chariot formation that had been abandoned (that is, many carriages were connected together to form an array, and only need to cut the rope, and then use the rope to put on a few of the carriages and drag them away, which can open the way for the rear team to attack) before rushing forward, hooking the armor of a fake knight with the long axe in his hand, and dragging the man from his horse alive, Then a backhand with an axe.

After cutting down the people, he didn't take a second look, and immediately pounced on the war horse that had lost its owner, then turned over and ran in the direction of Yanjing City.

It turned out that he was not willing to be killed by Xiao Baoxian, a bastard, and wanted to find a way to survive in this defeat. That's why he instigated a group of Khitan warriors to launch a counterattack, and he himself took the opportunity to seize the horse and escape. But he ran a little out of his way, and somehow ran past the dismounted knights with their crossbows. Several dismounted knights raised the crossbow machine in their hands, aimed at Yeluzhangu on horseback and pulled the trigger, several arrows left the string, Yeluzhangnu on horseback only felt a stinging pain on his back, and knew that he had been hit by an arrow, and this crossbow arrow did not know where it hit? Yelu Zhangnu only felt a sharp pain coming, and the strength of his body was also lost little by little, and he couldn't even ride the horse steadily, so he had to lie on the horse's back.

The war horse lost control, and the speed gradually slowed down, but there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in Yeluzhangnu's ears, and he turned his head to look hard, only to see a few knights wearing half a pair of scarred armor (only the front cover heart), and the knight holding the horse was really running towards him......

Looks like I'm going to die here!

Yelu Zhangnu endured severe pain, straightened up on the horse's back, turned around on the horse, and then shouted: "The Great Khitan Yelu Zhangnu is here!" Who dares to fight! ”

After shouting the name, Zhang Nu used his last strength, whipped the war horse, and rushed at full speed towards the oncoming knight.

The target who was targeted by Yelu Zhangnu and wanted to drive the horse to ram was Wu Tian, the number one fake son of Wu Haogu. He had already seen Zhang Nu's thoughts, but he still rode forward, only slightly avoiding Yelu Zhangnu's horse head, letting the two horses intersect at a distance of two or three feet away, and at the same time used the horse to pull Zhang Nu's back, using the inertia generated by the horse's galloping to knock Zhang Nu off the horse.

Yelu Zhangnu, who fell from the horse, had no strength to struggle, but gasped for breath, and his eyes were blurry, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but there were bursts of cheers in his ears!

"Great Song Wansheng! Great Song Wansheng! ”

Zhang Nu knew that this must be the Song army that captured the pontoon bridge on the Sanggan River!

At this moment, Wu Tian had already ridden to Zhang Nu's side, and found that this person was still panting, and snorted in a low voice: "Khitan dog!" ”

Before the words fell, the horse in his hand had already pierced Yelu Zhangnu who was lying on the ground again!

Yelu Zhangnu, who caused a great turmoil in history and accelerated the demise of the Liao State, also sacrificed his life under Yanjing City!
