Thousands of Fan Yangli, wearing red hats, surged in front of and behind Zhao Zhongge.

Under Fan Yangli, the morale was high, and everyone was eager for a hearty decisive battle, 6,000 tiger ben and a considerable number of horseback auxiliaries, they marched in formation, and rolled a whirlwind to the north in the heart of Youyan.

In the previous battle, the Song military armored cavalry did not show mobility, but this time it was unusual, like the wind, rushing straight to the Gaoliang River.

This attack immediately affected the entire Youyan borderland, no, it should be the situation of the entire world.

Yandi, that is, the Nanjing Road of the Liao State under the city of many cities, in addition to the city of Jinfu, there are nine prefectures such as Danzhou, Shunzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou, Pingzhou, Luanzhou, Yingzhou, Zhuozhou, Yizhou, etc. Among these nine prefectures, Pingzhou is the Jiedu Prefecture, which is at the same level as Xijin Prefecture, and in addition to the state, it also has jurisdiction over two prefectures of Luanying. The remaining six states are under the jurisdiction of the province of Tsu.

However, in this province and Kyushu, there is only one real core, which is Xijin Mansion City, also known as Yanjing City!

This is the station of the Great Liao Nanjing Road, and it is also the capital of Yandi!

All the wealthy families of Yandi have mansions and properties in Xijin Mansion, and they have a lot of money and silk silk, and the heads of each family, as long as they are not officials in other places, spend most of their time in the city of Xijin Mansion. It can be said that if you lose Yanjing, the Yandi families will immediately be greatly damaged!

Oh, Yanjing's centrality has declined a bit in recent years. To the south, the Jiehe commercial market has risen and has largely become the new economic center of Yandi.

However, the role of Yanjing is still incomparable to any Yandi city under the control of the Liao State.

If this city is also the same as the Jiehe Shang City, it is firmly controlled by Wu Haogu. Then Yandi Haoqiang can only turn his back on Liao and surrender to the Song Dynasty and attach himself to the banner of Wuhao Gu.

Therefore, the gains and losses of Yanjing are directly related to the gains and losses of the entire Yandi and Kyushu!

He is Zhao Zhongge, who was born in the Yan family, and of course knows the core role of Yanjing in Yandi.

And the tall and majestic city wall of Yanjing, in Zhao Zhongge's opinion, is difficult to capture through a strong attack. Yanjing City is not as good as Song City, but it is a Tang City with extremely strong defense. Within the tall city walls, there are more than 20 "fang castles", as well as tall and sturdy "palace castles", and it takes a lot of effort to capture them one by one.

Therefore, the Yanjing strategy must be to attack the heart and attack the city.

And to attack the heart, in addition to "money bombs", it is natural that a field battle is indispensable. Only in front of the heroes of Yandi, using the iron horses of the Han family to defeat the Khitan bow horses can we truly deter the hearts of the people of Yandi.

In this decisive battlefield of the field, Zhao Zhongge chose to be on the bank of the Sanggan River in the southwest of Yanjing City.

Because on the battlefield of Wuqing County, the main force of the Song army marched along the east bank of the Sanggan River, while the main force of the Liao army was placed around Wuqing County on the west bank of the Sanggan River. Therefore, in order to realize Zhao Zhongge's idea of a decisive battle on the banks of the Sanggan River, he must be strong before the Liao army returning north crosses the Sanggan River, first cross the Gaoliang River, a tributary of the Sanggan River, and then set up a battlefield between the Sanggan River and the Gaoliang River.

In order to seize the lead, Zhao Zhongge also didn't care about saving the manpower and horsepower of the 6,000 iron horsemen in his hand. After leaving Zhaojiabao, he handed over the main force to Murong Parrot, and then personally led 6,000 iron cavalry and a similar number of auxiliary light cavalry, one person and two horses, like a storm, to invade the north! The castles of Yandi Haoqiang encountered along the way were also ignored, and they went around and went north in the stunned eyes of a group of Yandi Haoqiang and the people.

They have only one goal, that is, the west bank of the Gaoliang River, the battlefield under Yanjing City!

The news that 12,000 cavalry were marching along the Sanggan River like the wind was naturally discovered by the Liao's Yuanjiao Zima at the first time and reported to Xiao Baoxian, who was in Wuqing County.

And after Xiao Bao reacted in great panic and stunned, he also took action immediately.

He didn't have time to take back the more than 1,000 Yuanzi horses scattered outside, so he took about 6,000 Khitan Palace soldiers and 12,000 auxiliary soldiers in Wuqing County and Xiaojiabao on the opposite bank, and also hurried north. Even the 20,000 or 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers and infantry that had been mobilized with great difficulty were all discarded.

These two or thirty thousand Yandi infantry are all controlled by the powerful children of Yandi! If the Song army was allowed to rush into Yanjing City, they might have defected.

So with them, not only delaying the trip, but also having to be careful, it's too troublesome, just throw it away.

As for whether these two or thirty thousand people will be bought by Wu Haogu, a rich man, Xiao Baoxian can't control it.

He must now return to Xijin Mansion City before the Song people. With him, the privy envoy and the 18,000 Khitan soldiers he led, he was able to hold on to the city of Xijin Prefecture, and this Yandi Xiongcheng could hold on to the front of the Song army!

At the same time, on the battlefield of Dingzhou, about three hundred miles away from Zhao Zhongge and Xiao Baoxian, there were also several large armies moving rapidly.

The positional warfare of the battalion step by step has now turned into a sports battle of foot strength!

Located on the Dingzhou Plain in the east of Taihang Mountain, there are four armies at this time, and they are hurrying with their heads covered. Three of them are Liao soldiers!

The main force of the Liao army, led by Yelu Yanxi, was divided into two roads in Beiping County and the neighboring Beiping Village. Xiao Fengxian led 30,000 cavalry of the Liao Army, with great fanfare, and stormed the city of Dingzhou. Yelu Yanxi led 50,000 cavalry to the north of Anyangkoupu.

And near Anyang Koupu, there are also two armies marching towards each other.

In the south of Anyangkoupu, Zhong Fu's 18,000 people hurried with their heads covered, desperately rushing to the empty Anyangkoupu.

And to the north of Anyangkoupu, Ma Renwang also led a similar number of Liao guards and troops to the south along the mountain road north of Anyangkoupu. When the horse man Wang led the army to retreat through Anyangkoupu, he scattered some distant horses south of Anyangkoupu. When these distant horses found that the Song army, which was originally crawling like a turtle, suddenly accelerated and hurried, they lit the firewood and grass prepared in advance according to the order.

When he saw the horseman Wangsuo Department of the beacon smoke, he immediately turned around and went south and pounced on Anyangkoupu!

But they were still a step slower. In order to convince the Song army that the Liao soldiers had really returned home, Ma Renwang did not leave a single soldier in Anyangkoupu, and did not even ambush soldiers and horses near Anyangkoupu (Anyangkoupu is the land of the Song Kingdom after all, and there are many Song people in the surrounding mountains, and the ambush is easy to be discovered by the local mountain people). Therefore, Anyang Koupu was occupied by the light cavalry sent by Zhong Fu to reconnoiter early in the morning!

Although there are only a few dozen people, they are the most elite of the four generals under Zhong Fu's command. Immediately after the capture of the city pass, a simple defense was carried out. After the light cavalry of the Xiaowu army sent by Ma Renwang arrived, they were not scared away, but repelled the opponent with a bow and arrow. But this small victory will not change the dangerous situation Zhong Fu is in the slightest.

When night gradually fell, Zhong Fu stood on the gate of Anyangkou Pu and looked north, and all he saw was a bonfire dotted with stars, covering the entire mountain! Look at this momentum, there must be tens of thousands of people!

A fierce battle seems inevitable!

"Zhong Xuanshuai, look at the south, the Liao soldiers in the south have also come up, we are afraid that we will be attacked by the enemy this time!"

I don't know who it is, but suddenly shouted in Zhong Fu's ear, Zhong Fu turned around and looked south. I only saw countless shining points of light, and I don't know when they also appeared in the far away place where the night sky and the earth intersected. If it weren't for the fact that the density of the light spots was too large, Zhong Fu almost thought that it was the stars in the sky.

"God, I'm afraid it's not less than tens of thousands! There are tens of thousands on both sides, and together they are not 100,000 people. ”

The abdomen and back were attacked by the enemy, and they were flanked by 100,000 Liao soldiers! This is really a bit of a development on the road to the annihilation of the whole army!

Zhong Fu was still forcibly calming down, and ordered loudly: "Order the three armies, speed up the construction of barracks and trenches!" Even if you have no sleep all night, you have to build the camp like a golden soup city!

As long as there is a camp to defend, we will definitely hold out until reinforcements arrive! ”

……

"It's over, it's over, the Liao soldiers all over the mountains! Dingzhou City is really out of danger now! It's all Zhong Fu who harmed me, Zhong Fu misled the country! Woohoo......"

At the head of Dingzhou City, Liang Zimei, the pacification envoy of Dingzhou Road and the governor of Dingzhou, was already crying loudly at this time.

Outside the city of Dingzhou, north of the Tang River, there are bonfires lit by Liao soldiers all over the field, and the number is too numerous to count, I am afraid that there are more than 100,000 people!

At this time, Liang Zimei's last hope was shattered, and Dingzhou City was bound to fall. And his pacification envoy Jian Zhizhou has also committed a crime of losing land!

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the loss of land has not happened for nothing. But after losing all the places of governance that pacified the envoys all the way, he Liang Zimei can be regarded as setting a precedent.

"Scholar, let's go! If you don't go, when the Khitan Iron rides across the Tang River, you won't be able to leave! ”

Dingzhou Road is under the jurisdiction of Ma Yong, who persuaded bitterly. If Liang Zimei doesn't leave, he won't be able to leave. He is not as beautiful as Liang Zimei, he is a civil official with no insurance in his head! This time, it was really a blood mold, and I lost the battle inexplicably!

And he has to bear the charge of losing his land, and it is certain that Haizhou will be assigned. If Liang Zimei can't be allowed to take the main responsibility, then he will have to cut off his brain.

"It's a good thing that this official didn't choose martial arts at the beginning!" Liang Zimei sighed with emotion, "Otherwise, I would have to die in Dingzhou this time!" That Zhong Fu also suffered on his own, and turned to Lao Shizi Wuzi? A great life was lost to the Khitans like this......"

"Bachelor's ...... If you don't leave, it's too late! Hearing Liang Zimei's sigh, Ma Yong hurriedly reminded, "The lowly post has already assembled the soldiers and horses, and the officials of the various yamen have also got on the carriage and horses, and they can go out of the city at any time!" ”

"Okay," Liang Zimei nodded, "The old man should also go!" Come on, go and bring the old man's boundary hippopotamus, the old man will ride it and hurry, you can get to Zhending Mansion faster! ”
