During the day, the Liao army was victorious, and the Liao army in southern Yannan was led by Xiao Gan, the general of the Liao State, who had less than 20,000 Liao troops in his hands, and it was the Northern Liao Emperor who ordered him to guard the Song-Liao border. At first, Xiao Gan was very frightened when he heard that the Song army's 200,000 betrayed the alliance to attack, but after the reconnaissance cavalry detected the movement of the Song army for a few days, Xiao Gan saw that the Song army was so arrogant, and after seeing the Song army's lineup in front of the battle, he found that the Song army's battle was unstable, the soldiers were uneven, and there were many loopholes, so he decided to fight the Song army first.

So on the same day, Xiao Gan led 10,000 troops and horses to defend the Juma River, and then Xiao Gan saw the weakness of the Song army, and attacked the Song army in two ways, and really won a big victory. The Song army was defeated by the elite of the Western Army and the mixed formation of Hebei soldiers, and half of the Hebei soldiers under the command of the veteran Zhao De of the Song Army saw the banner of the Liao Army and did not advance but retreated, and the Western Army also fled together, but it was not that the veteran Zhao De did not dare to fight, even he was surrounded by the Hebei soldiers, and involuntarily retreated, which exposed the flank of the Song army, which led to a great defeat.

That night, after the Song army retreated for thirty miles, Chongshi Dao hurriedly ordered all the troops to camp on the spot, killed more than 20 generals who took the lead in escaping in one go, calmed the army's heart, and ordered all troops and horses to be ready for battle, he knew that the Liao army would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and carry out a night attack.

Sure enough, that night the Liao army was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and carried out a surprise attack on the Song camp at night, although the Song army was strictly ordered to be on guard, but half of the helpless army was Hebei soldiers who had not experienced war for a long time. There is no other reason, the most important thing in ancient cold weapon combat is courage and morale, when a team of ten people, one or two timid may not be enough to affect morale, but if half of the people are timid, then this team will be defeated in battle, this is the faint trick committed by Tong Guan, and the result of the Hebei soldiers and horses that have been peaceful for a long time must be used.

Although the division was strictly ordered to be on guard, when patrolling the camp, he found that the morale of his corporal was low and he did not dare to fight, but fortunately, he was a famous general of the Song army, so he immediately transferred a group of soldiers and horses to beat the war drums all night around the barracks, thinking that he was suspicious.

After the Liao army attacked the army and horses at night, it was found that the Song army camp was brightly lit, and the military array beat the snare drum all night, and the Liao army suspected that the Song army was going to attack, so it did not attack at night, but withdrew to the camp to defend it.

It wasn't until dawn that Xiao Gan knew that he was on the way of the planter, and then he wanted to gather troops to attack, and the way of the seed master selected the elite of the Western Army overnight to form a separate army, with the elite Western Army foot soldiers as the backbone, in front of the camp formation, arranged into an iron bucket array, Xiao Gan of the Liao army saw that the Song army was tightly arranged, so he slowly retreated.

On this day, the West Road Xin Xingzong garrison Fan Village, also by Xiao Gan's Liao army thousands of raids, almost the same as the encounter of the master road, Hebei soldiers first chaos, and then the rout, the former army Wang Yuan was shot almost fell off the horse, the victory or defeat was undecided Xin Xingzong sent the central general Yang Keshi to help, and personally out of the army, the above general Jie Yue supervised the battle to stabilize the war situation.

Seeing that the Western Route Army was also in an unfavorable situation, the Seed Master Dao decided to retreat back to Xiongzhou overnight, and the baggage went first, and the Seed Master Dao led the elite to break the rear, but it was still discovered by the Liao Army and pursued with light cavalry, and the Song Army was in chaos. Finally returned to Xiongzhou, the Liao army suddenly arrived, and the Xuanfu Division ordered the troops not to enter the city, probably because they were afraid that the Liao army would take the opportunity to attack the city. But at this time, there was a great chaos inside and outside the city, Yang Keshi led his men and horses to meet the Liao army, and Xin Qizong Yongzong also led Shengjie troops to rescue. At that time, the sky was dark, the north wind and rain were heavy, and the hail was like a fist, but it was a pity that the Song army could not look at each other in person, and the wind and rain were more urgent from noon to night, and the weather was unfavorable. In this battle, the dead bodies from the south of Xiongzhou, between the north of Mozhou, and the area of Zhending in the west of Xiongzhou, were incalculable.

The news that the 200,000 Song army was defeated by less than 20,000 Liao troops spread, and the reactions of all parties were mixed. ”

Jin Wushu rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Marshal, it is true that we went to the sentinel to see that there are countless dead bodies of the Song army inside and outside Xiongzhou. Sticky Han frowned and said: "Liao General Xiao Gan has not fought before, is he really so capable of fighting?" ”

On the side, Guo Yaoshi smiled and said: "Xiao Gan is just an ordinary Liao general, and he has nothing to do with it, and this battle is actually too weak for the Song army." Jin Wushu laughed and said: "The Song army claims to be 400,000, but I think there are 200,000, 20,000 Liao troops can beat him Song army 230,000, and my Dajin army and horses can not be 10,000 against him 500,000?" No matter how many Song people there are, how many 500,000 troops can there be? Haha, can the Southern Dynasty Huahua World still escape from the palm of our hand? ”

Mu Han said: "Although the Song army is weak, but such a major matter, we can't be specialized, or play Your Majesty's decision." Jin Wushu responded, and then said: "Although the southern invasion of the Central Plains needs to wait for the will of the father, but now this Yanjing City can be defeated first?" Originally, I wanted to wait for the Song army to come to attack, but now that the Song army has been defeated, they can't even cross the Juma River, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to capture Yanjing, so it's better for our Dajin army to occupy Yanjing. ”

Sticky Han muttered: "This discussion is very good, this trip is not that we betray the alliance, but that the Song army is incompetent, and we can't get to Yanjing City, so we will take Yanjing first." Guo Yaoshi, the inner response, couldn't help but remind: "Although the Song army was defeated, there is still a Song army on the side of Yanjing City." ”

Sticky Han patted his head and said: "I almost forgot, there is also the Shandong Road Song Army Lin Chong's headquarters in the east of Yanjing City." Jin Wushu said hatefully: "What are they doing? For several months, the troops did not move, only caring about the departure of the people, and did not meet the Liao army. In my opinion, if they don't dare to attack Yanjing, we will do it. ”

Sticky Han said: "Okay, let's ask General Guo to go to the Song camp." Pharmacist Guo immediately received the order, but this guy was secretly thinking about whether he could find an antidote for next year when he went to Song Ying this time.

On the other side, Shandong Road was guarding the mansion, and after reading the Song Liao war report, Sanniang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "One general is incompetent, tired of the three armies, it seems that the day of the Jin army's southern invasion is not long." ”

Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng and others were also silent, and Zhu Wu said angrily: "The 200,000 army, the Liao army is only 20,000, they are not defeated by the enemy, but by themselves!" Huang Wenbing said with a smile: "The Song Dynasty is rotten, and its qi is exhausted, so it can't even defeat the dying Liao army, and it seems that the time for a change of day is not far away." ”

Sanniang raised her hand and stopped: "It's too early to say at this moment. All the princes talked about it, how should we deal with the defeat of the Song army, especially the department of Senior Brother Lin who is still in Yanjing. ”

Lu Junyi pondered for a moment and said: "The Jin army is on the side, since the Song Dynasty army is defeated, it is naturally difficult to attack Yanjing, and then the Jin army will definitely take Yanjing, and we have a lot of affection with Northern Liao, and it is difficult to pull down the lower to attack. ”

Gongsun Sheng praised: "What Lu Yuanwai said is very true, since the Song army has been defeated, this partial division of Lin Jiaotou does not have to stay in Yanjing anymore, so it is better to retreat south by sea, and the imperial court can also explain it." ”

Everyone agreed, and Sanniang said: "I also intend to withdraw the troops and horses first, but I am always alone, and it is inevitable that there will be accidents." As for Yanjing City, whoever wants it will take it, and now is not the time to take Yanjing. ”

At that moment, the plan was agreed, and the headquarters of the town guard government ordered the Laizhou Navy to go north to respond, and the flying pigeon passed a letter to Lin Chong, teaching him to retreat south by sea.

After Guo Yaoshi arrived at the Song camp, Lin Chong also happened to get the flying pigeon to pass the book, and immediately taught Guo Yaoshi to reply to the Jin army, the main force of the Song army was defeated, and his partial division will also retreat south first, and Yanjing will be attacked by the Jin army. Before leaving, Lin Chong explained that he was at ease in the Jin army, and someone would contact him sooner or later, so Guo Yaoshi left with peace of mind.

However, he said that in Xiongzhou, Tong Guan saw the defeat of the Song army, and he was at a loss, and hurriedly invited Wen Huanzhang, Zhao Liangsi and others to come to discuss. Tong Guanxian scolded Zhao Liangsi and blamed him for his bad idea, but instead of losing the morale of the people because of the defeat to the Jin army, the Liao army was more able to fight.

Zhao Liangsi drooped his head, and didn't dare to say anything, Wen Huanzhang pondered for a while, and then he relieved him and said: "Enxiang, this is not the time to blame anyone, the top priority is to gather the soldiers and horses first, and discuss how to cover up this defeat." Otherwise, the court will blame us, and we will not be able to avoid it. ”

Tong Guan sat down angrily and asked, "Sir, does he have a good plan?" Wen Huanzhang sighed and said: "At this moment, the only way to ask the Jin people to send troops to capture Yanjing, after we gather the soldiers and horses, fight steadily, cross the Juma River, and then discuss with the Jin people, can we teach them to let Yanjing come." ”

Tong Guan frowned and said, "The Jin people have captured the city, how can they let me wait?" Wen Huanzhang's words fell, Zhao Liangsi's eyes were already bright, and after hearing Tong Guan's question, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Grace is relieved, I have been to the Jin Kingdom several times, and I know that the top and bottom of the Jin Kingdom are all greedy for money, if the Jin people capture Yanjing, the villain dares to go to the Jin camp to discuss, pay a ransom fee, and redeem Yanjing and other places." ”

Tong Guan sighed, Zhao Liangsi continued: "The emperor of the Jin State hated the Liao State, and I have no enmity with the Great Song Dynasty, and I heard that the people in Yanjing City have almost fled, and it is expected that the Jin army will take Yanjing, and there is not much profit, it is better for us to give a ransom fee, and redeem Yanjing, and the court will say that it is the army led by Enxiang to fight a bloody battle to recapture Yanjing from the Liao people, so that this defeat can cover up the past." ”

Tong Guan frowned and said, "How much does it cost to redeem Yanjing City?" Zhao Liangsi patted his chest and said: "This matter is handed over to the villain to negotiate, and it will definitely be able to take back Yanjing smoothly, maybe it can also take back other Yanyunzhou counties, those golden people, as long as you give enough price, will definitely agree." ”

Tong Guan reluctantly agreed, and said: "It's okay, I will send a cavalry army to escort you tomorrow morning, and we will definitely talk about how the Jin people can return the sixteen states of Yanyun to us, money is not a problem!" (To be continued.) )
