On a May day in Liao, the cold gradually receded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The snow and ice melted in the mountains, and the rivers rose.

For a while, weeds stubbornly emerged from the land, and the grassland was full of green.

For the people of Liao, this is undoubtedly good news. But for the Praetorian Army, this is not a good sign.

As the head coach, how could he not know the mystery of Dashun's weapon? Once the grassland enters the rainy and unpredictable time, the possibility of the defeat of the forbidden army is too great. Don't look at the advantage of the forbidden army now, in fact, they all rely on firearms. If you really want to talk about time, place, and people, the forbidden army can be said to occupy none of them.

The geographical advantage is not occupied, and the forbidden army can know in advance through the exploration of horses, so as to avoid entering the land of heaven and earth, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army; If the people do not occupy the country, the forbidden army can use its own propaganda offensive to win over the Han people in the Liao State, declaring that "the Han people do not fight the Han people" and "return to the Central Plains to divide the fields" to disintegrate the hearts of the people of the Liao State; But if you don't take advantage of the time, then there is really no way. Although the forbidden army is known as the elite of Dashun and has excellent weapons, it has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it is afraid of water.

Fortunately, because it is paper-loaded gunpowder and granular lead-shot, with flint for ignition, even in rainy days, it has a firing rate of more than eighty percent. But the sub-mother cannon is really not good, and when it rains, it becomes an ornament.

The only thing that comes in handy is a grenade.

But a grenade weighing several pounds, even a powerful soldier, can only throw thirty or forty paces away, where can it compare to the mother and son cannon? Moreover, on rainy days, the mute fire rate of the grenade also rises gradually, at least half of the mute fire rate.

The rainy day is not terrible, as long as the camp is guarded, the trenches are dug well, and the barbed wire fence is arranged, as long as the grain and grass are not exhausted, the forbidden army can also defend it for a while.

The scary thing is that the rainy day on the grassland, no one knows when it will come.

Sometimes the weather looks clear, but in the blink of an eye, it rains heavily. If you choose this weather to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army, it will be tantamount to abandoning your martial arts.

What's even worse is that Tanma learned that the emperor of Liao actually drove a personal expedition. There are still more than 100 miles to the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion of the Liao State, the 400,000 palace tent troops of the Liao State, and the 30,000 royal tent personal horses, which have been completed in the camp 50 miles away. For a time, the morale of the Liao army was at its peak. The royal driving is a personal expedition, with the weight of 10,000 times, and the division of millions, the natural people are enthusiastic, striving for the service of death, and the combat effectiveness of attacking and winning, and fighting is defeated.

He also knew that this battle was a decisive battle that would determine the fate of the two countries, so he did not dare to slack off, so he could only close the camp to consume the spirit of the Liao army.

In fact, Yelu Hongji is not having a good time, because Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin's group has to annoy him every day, saying that he is a golden body, how can he resist the danger of the battle array? It is advisable to enter Linhuang Mansion as soon as possible, and it is okay to hand over this place to Yelu Tart. Yelu Hongji refuted: "Most of the ministers in the class of I have gray sideburns, and no one is in charge. I drove the expedition in person, met the enemy Han dog, and removed this confidant, so as not to suffer from the misery of the people! I have made up my mind, don't persuade you again! ”

But Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin insisted so much that Yelu Hongji was afraid of them, and ordered the soldiers to stop them outside the golden tent as soon as they saw them, and they were not allowed to enter.

Yelu Hongji is a man of great joy and wants to win or lose in a battle. So every night they had to send their soldiers to steal the camp in order to win the battle.

It's just that the Khitans, as infantry, are too lame. Beneath the criss-crossing trenches, there are countless bunkers, barbed wire that can hold flesh and blood, all of which are their fierce enemies. Not to mention that the war horse can't get by, even if it's a human, it's not flexible.

The Forbidden Army is also very bad, and every time they are put in and then fought. The Hongxiang rifle resounded in the sky every night.

As soon as the shots rang out, the Khitans retreated, leaving only a few corpses.

Don't think that they stopped attacking like this, the Khitans only paused for a short moment and quietly touched again.

It's a pity that their efforts are destined to be useless, there are too many secret sentinels sent by the forbidden army, and there is no such thing as distraction.

It's just that gunshots rang out from time to time, and hundreds of thousands of forbidden soldiers couldn't sleep well, and life was hard.

The clinic also noticed this situation, personally inspected the camp, and encouraged the soldiers to go to bed early and be more vigilant.

The most infuriating thing is that the Khitan also sent generals to scold in front of the battle every day. The medical treatment has made people hang out the war-free card, but they turn a blind eye and are still the same. The doctors and the generals all scolded that these Khitans were barbarians, and they didn't even understand the principle of avoiding war.

After more than half a month, the morale of the Liao army gradually faded. After all, he couldn't get the slightest battle achievement every day, but the comrades beside him fell on the trench one by one, which was a helpless fear. Fear will spread, and even if Yelu Hongji personally supervises the army and personally drives the expedition, the morale will not be boosted.

On the side of the forbidden army, the morale is growing stronger. Without him, the three generals of the Yang family, together with Zhonglang General Zou You, led 80,000 soldiers and horses, and had already escorted the grain and grass to a total of 500,000 stones. Along the way, they didn't know how many Khitan cavalry they wanted to rob the grain. Fortunately, these grain trucks are made of iron sheets, which are fireproof and can block arrows. Once the grain and grass are unloaded, it is a chariot. With such grain trucks, they were able to transport grain and grass to the ground.

With food, the forbidden army will have more confidence.

They can afford it, but Liao can't afford it!

You must know that most of the most fertile pastures in Liao are distributed in the south of Liao. To the south of Liao, it is naturally the place bordering Dashun. Now the forbidden army has been crushed all the way, and the border army has also taken advantage of the situation to take over these pastures. There are even rumors that Dashun has sent officials to prepare to govern these places.

How could Yelu Hongji, as an emperor who was so happy with his achievements, tolerate such a thing?

The shouting and scolding before the battle was more attentive, even on rainy days. When the rain was pouring down, they also attacked the camp fiercely.

The forbidden army was happy to watch the Khitans do useless work, and many people were gnawing on dry food while watching the Khitans fall in the trenches.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and on this day, Yelu Hongji learned well and transferred dozens of trebuchets.

This also praises the Khitan people, who are a relatively successful ethnic group in sinicization, and even learned a lot of Central Plains culture. In fact, it was also due to force, they kidnapped many craftsmen on the border of Dashun and forced them to make these siege and defense equipment. Yeluhonki did not want to use these bulky things at first, but it is undeniable that at this time, trebuchets and bed crossbows were indeed better than cavalry, better than infantry.

The Forbidden Army is starting to see casualties.

Underneath the gravitational acceleration of the stone projectile, flesh and blood could not resist it at all.

At this time, the implant diagnosis can no longer be endured. First, he let the sub-mother cannon attack, killed a lot of trebuchets and bed crossbows, and then hastily convened a military meeting, thinking that now Yeluhongki's mentality had gone wrong, and it was time for a decisive battle.

Youdao is three generals, better than one Zhuge Liang, not to mention that all of them are generals who have experienced a hundred battles and studied through the Royal Military Academy system?

Everyone is united, and its profit is gold.

"Bang !!"

With the sound of cannons, the gate of the forbidden army camp was opened, and a column of soldiers walked out of the trenches in an orderly manner.
