Modern warfare is extremely efficient, and in the face of limited living forces, lethality has become the main and only means of solving problems. —From "Modern Warfare Theory"

...

The war between hot and cold weapons was one-sided from the beginning, and in just ten days, the land of Youzhou, Zhuozhou, and Danzhou was taken by the army of the New Song Dynasty.

The cities of these three states were broken faster than one another, and even when the tanks attacked Danzhou, it only took two hours to annihilate and capture all the Liao troops defending the city.

If it weren't for the geographical location of other states such as Ji, Ying, and Mo, which were too far away for mechanized troops to reach in a short period of time, I am afraid that these cities would have become the results of the New Song Dynasty army by now.....

......

Liaoguo, Shangjing Linhuang Mansion.

Liao Jingzong, dressed in a black dragon suit, paced restlessly on the main hall, and below the main hall, there were many kneeling ministers.

"I just want to know what this new Song Kingdom wants to do!" Liao Jingzong suddenly turned his head and shouted at the minister who was lying below.

Liao Jingzong, who was only thirty years old, was in the prime of life, and it was also the time when the emperor's energy was at its peak.

And now he is in the midst of a rage.

The New Song Kingdom took Youzhou, Zhuozhou, and Danzhou with lightning speed for no reason.

And these three states occupy a considerable proportion of Liao's foreign enemy defense plan, and can be described as the forward outposts of Liao's heavy guards.

But now these three outposts have been completely captured in just ten days, which is unacceptable to the Liao Emperor no matter what.

"I want to know, obviously there are 100,000 elites in my Daliao in these three states! Why was it breached in just ten days? Liao Jingzong continued to roar.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, according to the battle reports from the front line, the soldiers of the New Song Kingdom obviously have a weapon that our Liao soldiers cannot understand, ordinary soldiers can invisibly kill people a hundred steps away with this kind of weapon, and they also have steel artillery to attack the city, no matter how strong the big city is, it cannot withstand the three shells of the steel artillery. An old man dressed in Liao State clothes stood up silently and said, at this time, only he can comfort His Majesty who is now angry, he is Yelu Xianshi, the oldest old minister in the court.

Seeing Yelu Xianshi get up and answer, Liao Jingzong also slightly suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "I heard a while ago that the spies came to report, saying that the Great Song Dynasty has sent 200,000 troops, and the monarch of the Song State is going to come to destroy the new Song Dynasty. ”

Liao Jingzong's voice raised several tones: "Not only is there no Great Song army to exterminate this New Song Kingdom now, but this New Song Dynasty actually dares to rashly launch an attack on my Great Song Dynasty!"

Youzhou, Zhuozhou, and Danzhou, a total of 100,000 of our Great Liao warriors, were actually attacked and killed by the New Song Kingdom! I can't swallow this breath! ”

The hall is silent, in fact, it is true, just half a month ago, the Great Liao was also received by the Great Song Dynasty to exterminate the news of the New Song Dynasty, at that time the Liao Dynasty was a singing and dancing, after all, the more fierce the internal disputes in the Song Kingdom, the more chaotic the Great Song Dynasty, the happier the Liao State.

Then no one thought that just half a month later, the Great Song Dynasty did not kill bandits as scheduled, but the sixteen states of Yanyun, which were controlled by the Liao State, were violently raided, and three states fell within ten days, and they were the three states that the Liao State attached the most importance to.

"Now, this little new Song Kingdom has succeeded in angering me! Now I don't want to care about the Great Song Dynasty sending troops anymore! I want to send troops to attack this new Song Kingdom, so that he will know that my Great Liao is not the weak and deceitful person of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's inappropriate to send troops...."As soon as Yelusha wanted to say something to admonish, Liao Jingzong glared at him fiercely.

"Everyone doesn't need to persuade me, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, my Da Liao has been brave and good at fighting, and is invincible, but in the past few years, my Da Liao's military array has not sent troops, so that small countries such as the New Song Kingdom dare to come and pull out my beard, so I don't know what to do, I will teach him a lesson, and even I can unite with the Great Song Dynasty to directly destroy this small New Song Dynasty!"

Having said that, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had nothing to persuade them.

The reason why Liao was listed as the most powerful opponent by the Great Song Dynasty is not without certain reason,

Once the military forces of the Liao State were organized, there were hardly any armies in this era that could withstand their attacks.

What's more, the New Song Kingdom is only a small country, even if he has a unique weapon, but the self-confidence of the Liao people is more than enough to destroy this small country, so no one in the court has any objections.

After all, it is a small rebel army with only four states, and the combat effectiveness of the Liao country with a vast territory is definitely not something that such a small country can imagine.....

.....

The gathering speed of the Liao army was very fast.

At this time, the war characteristics of the nomads are fully reflected, for the nomads, all the people are soldiers this is not groundless, they gallop on the grassland, so that every Liao is an excellent rider, plus from an early age to practice bow and arrow and wrestling skills.

This makes every Liao person a qualified cavalryman.

In just 20 days, Liao Jingzong gathered more than 250,000 Liao troops in Mozhou.

With nearly 40 tribes and more than 300,000 horses, the army of the Liao State will be overwhelming.

The 250,000 cavalry marched out like locusts crossing the border, armed with bows and arrows, with scimitars at their waists, and would not hesitate to cut off the heads of any enemy who stood in their way.

Liao Jingzong was very satisfied with the number of warriors organized by his subordinates, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was not as simple as one plus one, not to mention the cavalry force of 250,000 people, no matter from what point of view, these cavalry had no reason to lose, they were on the plain, they only needed a few breaths to reach the battlefield, and when facing the infantry, their scimitars would harvest their heads like harvesting wheat......

For this large-scale military operation of the Liao State, Jiang Yin was aware of it from the beginning of the army, but there was one problem that gave him a little headache, that is, these Liao people could not be used by him.

First of all, the Liao people are free and loose, and the essence of these people can be seen from their unwillingness to work hard in farming, and the essence of nomadism is freedom and indulgence, so that they will not grow food as diligently as the Han people.

In the eyes of the Liao people, sheep herding is hard labor, not to mention farming.

The second is that there are too many Liao people, and they have their own unique language, which makes it impossible for these people to easily obey the management and work for Jiang Yin honestly......
