Chapter 404: The Cause of Fighting

The poor hussars and horses that rushed to the front burst into a little blood and fell like wheat in an instant. Some iron balls still have a lot of kinetic energy after penetrating the human body, and overlapping targets cannot escape the catastrophe.

The ranks of the Holy Blessed collapsed.

The troops, which had been scattered by fear, had no chance of recovery, and the light cavalry behind them turned their horses and tried to flee the battlefield.

The tide of defeat swept over the army, and the situation soon became uncontrollable, and the crowd fled backwards, and the people who were crushed were trampled to death, and no one had time to care for others, only hating why they didn't grow more legs.

At this time, the gates of the city opened, and the cavalry of the victorious army rushed out, and after firing the last round of deadly bullets, the shelling of the city stopped in time.

"When these guys came, they were so angry that they couldn't really fight." Ye Chuchu shook his head when he saw the Holy Blessings being slashed and killed by the Liao cavalry.

"They don't always have God's blessing." Sun Hui looked at the battlefield at his feet and nodded, "It seems that the Liao soldiers under Yelu Dashi are really capable of fighting." ”

"I remember that you said that hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers were defeated by 10,000 gold soldiers, and now I look at Liao soldiers are not so bad?" Ye Chuchu said with some doubts.

"At this time and that time, Yelu Dashi's talent is not comparable to Yelu Yanxi's waste dim sum." Sun Hui said with a smile, "The soldiers are bearish, and the bears are in a nest, when the Great Song Dynasty joined Jin to attack Liao, the Jin soldiers defeated the Liao soldiers, but the Liao soldiers who were holding their heads in front of the Jin soldiers, when facing the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers, they were all like wolves and tigers, fighting bravely to be the first, and the performance of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers at that time could not be simply described by the word 'cold'." ”

Sun Hui is talking about the Song Dynasty's first "revival of Yanyun", which was a nightmare for the Song Dynasty.

When Yelu Yanxi ran to the primeval forest, four of the five capitals of the Liao State had been lost, and only Nanjing Xijin Mansion was left, that is, Youzhou in the sixteen states of Yanyun. Here the Liao State has a part of the army, a whole set of government leaders, plus a prince.

The prince is Yelu Chun, the king of Yan, a hard-working child who is very unhappy with Yelu Yanxi. When the whole nation suffered, he was abandoned by his father and thrown into the gap between the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, and was theoretically doomed to an inevitable fate.

But it was this child who left the only little bit of dignity left for Liao.

Around 1122 A.D., his army was small, only sixty or seventy thousand. There are two prime ministers, both Han Chinese, namely Zhang Lin and Li Chuwen. has a wife named Concubine Xiao De. In addition, there is a newcomer to officialdom, his name is Yelu Dashi.

After the legitimate emperor fled into the primeval forest, the richest and most civilized state of Yanyun in the Liao State did not think of surrendering to the enemy, but actively resisted.

Yeluchun was elected as the new emperor, his appointment was hasty, even illegal, and his term of office was very short, no more than three months, but he left a very good mark in history.

In order to commemorate him, later generations called the sixteen states of Yanyun under his rule "Northern Liao" when writing history.

The greatest crisis facing Northern Liao was not the Jurchens, but the Song Dynasty, a brotherly state that had been friendly for generations. When he took office, it was the time when the Song Dynasty extinguished the Fangla uprising, and Tong Guan freed up his hands to prepare for the north. Just then, the two men bumped into each other.

On the side of the Song Dynasty, this was a godsend, and the situation was surprisingly good, and even the previous mistakes could be made up. When crossing the sea to form an alliance before, Zhao Ji put a big oolong and made a mistake in the geographical areas of the sixteen states of Yanyun, causing the people of Jin to only agree to a small part of the land transfer. Now the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi ran all the way and led the main force of the Jin army to the depths of the Mongolian steppe, and now there is almost a vacuum near the sixteen states of Yanyun except for the remnants of the Liao army.

As long as the troops are dispatched quickly and fight hard, it doesn't matter what kind of gold country he is, he takes the opportunity to grab it, and the contract negotiated before is a piece of waste paper!

The Song army went out with this desire, in order to win, Tong Guan led 150,000 troops (one said 100,000) out of Kaifeng, which included the Northwest Army, the Forbidden Army, and so on to the northeast border, there were also the original garrison of the border guards, so that at least more than 200,000 troops.

In any way, the Song army was enough to overwhelm the Liao army in the Yanyun theater. What's more, at this time, the soul of the Liao people was not possessed, and they had already been frightened. What's more, the Yanyun area is mainly Han people, and since ancient times, the centripetal force of the Han people has been super strong, and they will take the initiative to help the Song army recover their homeland.

So Tong Guan urged the army and rushed to Yanyun, opposite him, the Liao army was not only weak, but there were actually four races, namely Khitan, Han, Bohai, and Xi. This made him feel very good, the Liao State had already fallen to this step, the elite of the whole country had been lost, and guarding such an important area as the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun could not take out the army of his own clan.

Tong Guan walked to the battlefield with such a view, and he was destined to be hit on the head and bled out. The Liao army waiting for him is indeed a ragtag army, but it depends on whose hands it is.

The leader is called Xiao Gan, his family's ancestral miscellaneous skills, and can be said to be the hereditary miscellaneous army leader of the Liao State. Xiao is the surname of the descendants of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Gan, a hereditary king of Xi, specializes in the work of ethnic minorities, and he is the sixth generation in his generation. Regarding how to integrate different ethnic groups and condense their combat effectiveness, he is the best candidate in the Yanyun region.

The battle began, and the discipline of the Song army was perfectly demonstrated. Starting from Zhao Guangyi to Zhao Ji, there were seven emperors, and each generation required the generals of the Song Dynasty to obey the command and discipline, and fight according to the pre-arranged formation. As a result, every battle is a model play, and from beginning to end, it is as standardized and uniform as an assembly line.

As a result, the Song army suffered a crushing defeat. The reason is very simple, the Song army is relying on the large number of people to take advantage, and the heart is very relaxed, but the Liao army is desperate, especially with few people. So is there any other way than to rush to the top?

The bravery of the Liao army caused the morale of the Song army to plummet. The soldiers of the Song army were collectively stupid, didn't they say that the Liao State would be destroyed immediately? Are all the troops dead? They were all scared to death and starved to death, did they just die in the hands of the people of the Song Dynasty or the people of the Jin Dynasty? How can it still be so barbaric?

You must know that the Song and Liao have not fought for a hundred years, and the strength of the two countries on the border is basically equal, so the Heshuo area of the Song Dynasty is already a military vacuum, why does the Yanyun area of the Liao State still have such an army?

At that time, Tong Guan couldn't think about these problems clearly, but Sun Hui, who was familiar with history, understood the situation of the Song, Liao, and Jin Kingdoms at that time, and understood that the Liao army became stronger because of the stimulation of the Jin State.
