Huang Keqi's subordinates on the frontal position actually took the initiative to abandon the three chest wall fortifications in this section of the defensive space.

On the one hand, after the hard work of many people, the casualties of the soldiers of the forbidden army under Huang Keqi were also quite a few.

In particular, the wounded soldiers in the Song army were almost all wounded by the archers of the Gong Division.

In this case, most of these wounded soldiers have lost the ability to attack and defend, and staying here will only disturb the morale of the army.

On the other hand, Pan Xiong considered that this bad battle had been fought for so many days, even if Yelu Yanxi was mediocre, it was very likely that he would be impatient to wait. Therefore, he decided to strategically abandon this defensive position for the time being.

However, Pan Xiong had already ordered the 10,000 Tuntian forbidden troops under his command who were in reserve to complete the position of nine layers in a row in the rear position. The breastwork wall of the mound of soil alone is naturally not as strong as the steel frame breastwork, and it is better than a large number.

Pan Xiong planned to lure the enemy deeper, first let his brothers make a meal of dumplings, and then force the Liao army back to the south of the Luan River, and finally, he used the Qiyue array to launch a general attack to break the frontal enemy.

Besides, even Yelu Yanxi knew that he would send troops to cut off the grain route of Cai Dao's 500,000 army, how could Cai Dao and Pan Xiong not think of it?

After transporting 200,000 construction workers to Tianjin, the Cai family fleet will also bring a group of mercenaries who are good at doing this kind of thing - the group of Khitans that Cai Dao raised in the area near the Wa Guohai, as well as the captured Wa warriors, who are much more professional in robbing roads than the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty.

After receiving this gratifying news, Yelu Yanxi no longer paid attention to Yelu Zhongke, but rewarded the lucky man who served as the commander.

Stepping on the waters of the Luan River and the corpses of Han soldiers on the riverbank, the Liao army began to cross the Luan River on a large scale, and even Yelu Yanxi moved his big tent to the bank of the north bank of the Luan River.

However, when the new commander of the Liao army arrived at the front army, his heart became cold, and when he raised his eyes, there were fortifications on the north bank everywhere, and he couldn't see the end at a glance, so how could he attack?

Although there was no obstacle from the Luan River, such a wide ditch and a chest wall that could not be crossed by war horses were horizontally in front of him, and it was still impossible to give full play to the advantages of the Liao army's Qiqi Dao on flat land. He made a military order in front of Yelu Yanxi, and if he broke through the Song army as the law, his life would be difficult to protect.

There was no way, the new commander still used the old method, using the lives of the Han army to consume the arrows of the Song army, and using their corpses to fill the wide trenches in every tunnel.

Such a scorching and fierce battle lasted for three whole days, and the Han soldiers had already been forced to exhaust, and the new commander had no choice but to send his men to forcibly recruit local young men from the surrounding areas to come over as targets.

Every day, after paying countless lives, the Liao army could only break through the combination of three trenches and chest walls.

However, after breaking through the last fortification on the third day, the collapse of the new commander of the Liao army was presented to him, and at some point, the Song army dug a lot of trenches waiting for them in the back.

Are these Song people all reincarnated as rats?

In desperation, he could only stop the attack again at dusk, and after returning to the camp, he couldn't sleep at all while lying on the bed, thinking about whether he should use the cavalry of the palace division army to quickly break through the camp of the Song army tomorrow, only in this way would the Song army not be left with the opportunity to continue to be a groundhog.

But the new commander of the Liao army is already destined not to see the sun tomorrow.

On the night of the third day, Pan Xiong drew 30,000 forbidden troops from the upper and lower reaches, plus 20,000 from the middle and 10,000 tuntian soldiers reserved by himself, all of which were thrown into the raid team in the middle of the night.

The counterattack was launched in the middle of the night, and Pan Xiong sent spies to set fire to the Liao army behind the Liao army, disrupting the entire Liao army's camp. On the one hand, he assigned 90,000 Tuntian forbidden troops to cut off these Liao troops who had broken into the camp of the Song army, and divided and surrounded them.

Generally speaking, the strength of the Liao army is naturally superior, but this plain area close to the Luanhe River has been dug by the Song army into ravines, and the war horses that galloped on the battlefield in the past cannot gallop freely in this place.

Locally, it was the Song army that had the advantage, and Pan Xiong first used a strong bow and crossbow to block the Liao army's reinforcements in the front, and then took advantage of this local advantage to use superior forces to swallow the encircled Liao army one bite at a time.

And those Han strong men who were forced to come also chose to take the initiative to surrender to the Song army, since the Khitans are not suitable for them, why don't they fight hard?

However, the Liao State Palace divided more than 100,000 troops, and about 80,000 people were still gathered around the north bank of the Luan River.

However, when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, Yelu Yanxi did not order them to do so, but immediately ordered someone to move his big tent back to the south bank. What's more, the new commander himself was within the encirclement of the Song army. As a result, the soldiers of the other palace divisions, who were already panicking, also lost their will to fight, and they all rode horses and fled with their Emperor Majesty in a hurry.

The new commander was surrounded in front, and for a time the dragons were leaderless, and even the emperor seemed to have lost a trace. There is no way, at this moment of crisis, someone must stand up to stabilize the situation, and the person who stands up is naturally the old commander of the palace division army - Yelu Zhongke, but he was forcibly elected by the soldiers who supported him in the palace division army.

After resuming his position as temporary commander, Yelu Zhongke also quickly stabilized the situation of the Liao army, and when it was dawn, he finally found His Majesty the Emperor who had been missing for a long time, and regathered the soldiers of the palace division army around the emperor.

This time, Yelu Yanxi did not make a petty temperament again, and also recognized the position of commander of the division of the army in Yelu Zhongke Palace.

But what happens next?

After counting, Yelu Yanxi's palace division army did not lose too many troops, not counting the Han army, there are more than 80,000 people left in the army of more than 100,000 people, and even Yelu Zhongke thinks that they still have the strength to fight.

In fact, even in the situation just now, if Yelu Zhongke was the commander, he would definitely send the palace division army by the river to strongly attack the blocking troops of the Song army, then, in order not to pay huge casualties, Pan Xiong would definitely not let it go down.

In the end, the Song army could not kill so many palace troops, at most it could kill less than 10,000 palace troops and capture the remaining Han army.
