In the early morning, inside and outside Kaifeng City, the flames were not completely extinguished, and thick smoke was still billowing out in many places.

Coupled with the hazy weather, Kaifeng City seems to be wrapped in clouds, like a fairyland, which is really purgatory on earth.

When Song Qi, Liang Chengming, and Li Mu sent troops to extinguish the flames, they successively received orders from the emperor and the empress to quickly dispatch troops and generals, and when the Yan army's defense was weak, the blood debt was repaid.

When they first heard the empress's order, Li Mu, Song Qi, and Liang Chengming all thought that the empress's order was too risky.

For two days in a row, the Song army was all severely damaged.

At this moment, in the imperial city, in the barracks, the burning flame has not yet been extinguished. The Song army was sleepless in the middle of the night, exhausted, and extremely poor, and suddenly attacked the Yan army, winning less and losing more.

When I was contemplating for a while, thinking about the situation of Song Jun, Song Qi, Li Mu, and Liang Chengming, my thoughts gradually changed.

Their hearts are like mirrors, and in the battlefield, the Song army, which confronted the Yan army head-on and suffered heavy losses one after another, is very challenging to achieve victory.

However, the Yan army was often in the air, the Song army was in a passive situation, the soldiers were lost, and the grain, grass and ordnance were destroyed a lot, and if it continued, the Song army would be defeated without a fight.

Li Mu, Song Qi, these outstanding generals who once had brilliant military exploits and shook the north, were unwilling and couldn't swallow this breath.

According to the words of the empress, in a fierce battle with the Yan army, even if the Yan and Song armies were defeated, the Song army would not suffer.

What's more, the hard battle with the Yan army, even if both sides were defeated, also frustrated the arrogance and sharpness of the Yan army, and the army proved to the Yan army with its actions that the Song army was by no means a soft persimmon, and it was still bloody and had a bottom line.

After making up their minds, Song Qi, Li Mu, and Liang Chengming instructed the elite of each army to bury the pot and make rice, and after eating, the whole army assembled to fight against the Yan army.

For an hour or so, all the Song troops had eaten and rested for a while, and the Song troops from all sides hurriedly assembled.

Soon, the three-way army, plus the army of the Son of Heaven who guarded the palace, totaled more than 200,000 Song troops, gathered outside Kaifeng City.

All the Song troops changed their armor, sharpened their blades, filled their crossbows, and even fed their horses in advance.

These Song troops, when they learned that they were about to fight against the Yan army, all supported them.

Among them, there are cavalry, crossbow battalions, trapping camps, and mechanical troops.

All of them have experienced the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield, and before they were attacked by the Yan army, they boasted that they were the most powerful infantry in the north and were fully capable of fighting the Yan army.

Next to the strong soldiers of the Song army, many war horses and all kinds of siege equipment were gathered.

In order to ensure that the Song army had enough certainty of victory, she took out all the spare ordnance in the armory to arm the Song army.

At present, in addition to the cavalry trained by Li Mu, the Song army under Liang Chengming and Song Qi is almost all armed with all kinds of ordnance.

The Song army operated all kinds of ordnance, hidden in the ordnance, like a giant, with extraordinary momentum and strong martial power.

The army was assembled, although the Song army was still full of panic in his heart, however, he was about to take revenge on the Yan army, and they were a little excited in their hearts, and the fire of hatred in their hearts gradually recovered.

In Kaifeng City, the central street was blocked, Lin Shuying wore a military uniform, heroic posture, sitting on horseback, under the protection of Mingyue, led a small number of pro-army, from the Empress Palace to the outside of the city.

On both sides of Central Street, the people who rushed to repair their houses saw Lin Shuying personally in charge, and they stopped their work one after another.

One by one, they stared at each other, with respectful expressions, and watched Lin Shuying go out of the city.

When the Yan army attacked, the imperial court reacted quickly, wanting to retaliate against the Yan army, and even the empress personally went to battle, and the people cheered and supported.

Lin Shuying led the army, never stayed in the streets, and rode his horse and whipped outside the West Gate.

Many Song troops were on standby, with serious expressions, solemn and majestic.

Lin Shuying saw the spirit of the Song army, and rejoiced in his heart, glanced up at the dense Song army, raised his horsewhip, whipped the horse, and urged the horse to gallop.

Coming to the front of the army, Lin Shuying tightened the reins of the horse and moved forward slowly.

Song Qi, Liang Chengming and Li Mu, who led the army, saw Lin Shuying appearing and hurried to greet him.

Lin Shuying didn't say anything, raised his hand to signal, the three of them stopped, and came to the front of the army, Lin Shuying said coquettishly: "Song Qi, Li Mu, Liang Chengming, take the initiative to send troops to the Yan army today, and it is not a momentary bravery."

This battle is related to the pattern of the Yan and Song dynasties, and it is very important to the Yan and Song armies and the two countries of the Yan and Song dynasties, and must not be sloppy.

Today, I don't want the generals to lead the army to a complete victory, but I can't be defeated, if I lose, I will also hit the Yan army hard, showing the Song army's will to fight and fighting momentum, even if both are defeated, I will not hesitate to do so. ”

"Yes!" Song Qi, Li Mu, and Liang Chengming saluted.

Listening to Lin Shuying's words, this is to have a complete showdown with Emperor Yan and prepare to plan the road to hegemony.

This battle was the first large-scale frontal battle between the Yan and Song armies, no matter what kind of victory the Yan army adopted despicable means a few days ago. Today, the Song army won, and the Yan army still can't shake the status of the Great Song Dynasty.

Xiuyan glanced at Song Qi and the three of them, Lin Shuying arranged for the generals to fight, and ordered: "In today's battle, Song Qi led the soldiers defending the city and the guards of the Beijing Division, totaling 50,000, riding on treadmills, siege vehicles, and catapults, as the forward, quickly advancing from the front of the Yan army, and the whole army met with the Yan army to contain the main force of the Yan army. Li Mu, led 70,000 cavalry, attacked in the Yan army camp, the main force was pinned, the thunderous momentum, from the left flank straight to the Yan army in the big tent, Liang Chengming, led 80,000 mechanical troops, carrying all the siege equipment, when the Yan and Song wars, stalemate, led the mechanical army, did not hesitate to kill from the right wing. ”

"The last will obey." Song Qi saluted three people.

At this time, Lin Shuying pondered for a while, did not hesitate, and reminded: "Yan Qi acted quickly and reacted quickly, Song Qi led the army to launch a frontal attack, and it must be lightning fast, even if the Yan army learns, do not give Yan Cai any chance to resist, and strive to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the mechanical army."

When Li Mu and Liang Chengming led the army to attack, no matter what the situation was when Song Qi led the mechanical army, even if the situation was delicate and surrounded by the Yan army, you must not hesitate to rush forward and assist Song Qi in killing the enemy. ”

Lin Shuying's decision to take revenge on Yan Jun was by no means hot-headed, on the contrary, she personally discussed it with Jian Ye and Tian Xu.

There were methods against the Yan army, hoping to minimize the losses of the Song army in the battle.

"Victory, victory!" Song Qi heard the sound, clenched his fists tightly, raised his arms and shouted.

Li Mu and Liang Chengming watched it, and they also raised their arms and shouted, waiting for the emperor on all sides, wanting to move forward to fight the army, and they followed suit.

The voices of hundreds of thousands of troops were loud and deafening, as if to vent the anger in their hearts.

Lin Shuying witnessed the performance of the Song army, raised his horsewhip, and said: "Song Qi, Li Mu, Liang Chengming, you deploy quickly, act quickly, and in the fierce battle, strive to form a wave of attacks, don't give the Yan army any chance."

If there are generals, soldiers, and soldiers who capture Emperor Yan in a fierce battle, or severely damage the generals of the Yan army, and return victorious, I will personally reward him with a thousand taels of gold. ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, relatively speaking, the momentum of the Song army is weak, to win this battle, we must try to improve the momentum of the army, and the best way to reward gold is the best way.

"Yes!" Hearing this, Li Mu and the three of them quickly turned around and left.

Song Qi and the three of them quickly mobilized the morale of the whole army, and soon, Song Qi took the lead in leading the army under his tent and quietly left the barracks.

This army, after the Yan army's continuous overnight attacks, weakened in momentum.

Today, the empress decided to counterattack the Yan army for revenge, these 50,000 Song troops, under the strict requirements of Song Qi, although they did not have a strong fighting spirit, they still had the belief in killing the enemy and killing the enemy for revenge.

On a hazy day, the imperial capital was shrouded in a faint mist on all sides, and a cold wind blew from the north, making the bad weather worse and worse.

In this cold weather, Song Qi was covered in helmets, grabbed a six-foot sword in his hand, and carried a special crossbow of the Song Kingdom on his back, leading the army to move forward quickly towards the Yan military camp with extreme speed.

In Song Qi's eyes, this harsh environment, although it is not very conducive to today's attack, is far stronger than when there are no clouds, the Song army is dispatched, and the whole army is exposed to the sight of the Yan army, which is many times stronger.

The Song army moved forward, and the Yan army scattered secret agents on all sides of Kaifeng City, and they also moved forward quickly without stopping.

Not long ago, Song Qi gathered troops, which attracted the attention of the Yan army spies, and the whole army shouted and killed, which inevitably attracted the attention of the Yan army spies again.

Yan military camp, the camp tent stretches for several miles, most of the Yan army has just eaten, bored, stay outside to sort out weapons.

There are also a small number of Yan soldiers, armed with ring-headed knives, carrying crossbows on their backs, and a team of ten people, in the barracks, strictly guarding and patrolling back and forth.

In the tent, Lin Feng summoned Feng Shihu, Cao Aman, Gu Jianxiong, Ning Wu and other generals to celebrate the Yan army's successful attack on the Song military camp again last night and the opening of the imperial capital.

In last night's battle, the main force of the Yan army did not move, and did not kill many Song troops. However, a series of fire attacks caused serious losses to the Song military camp and Kaifeng.

This kind of loss, visible to the naked eye, in Lin Feng's opinion, will deal a severe blow to the Song army, the ministers of the Song State, and the will to fight.

If it continues, the Song army will gradually become a frightened bird, and it won't be long before all the fighting spirit will be lost, and at that time, if the Song State is invaded again, things will become easier.

Although the weather was getting colder, the Yan army's repeated attacks would still cause serious damage to the Song State before returning to the Yan Kingdom.

At this moment, Lin Feng pondered for a while, planning to find the right time to seize the surrounding cities of Kaifeng.

After all, if the Yan army does not withdraw its troops, it must find a place to stay near Kaifeng.

However, at this time, a spy hurriedly ran in, panting and reporting to Lin Feng, saying, "Your Majesty, the Song army is assembled, and the forward army is hurriedly killing the barracks." ”

"How is it possible for the Song army to kill the barracks?" Ning Wu said indifferently, they didn't believe it at all, after the two defeats, the Song army still dared to fight with great momentum, didn't they know the reason why moths fought the fire and brought about their own destruction?

However, Lin Feng did not dare to hesitate, he understood the truth that the arrogant army would be defeated, although the Yan army won one after another, but the Yan army was by no means without weaknesses, who dared to guarantee that the Song army would not send troops.

I couldn't help asking: "Song Army Forward, how many are there?" ”
