Even so, Yelu Dashi did not live in a corner like the Southern Song Dynasty court, but when the time was ripe, he went on a large-scale expedition to the east in order to restore the country.

However, the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, but the luck of the big stone forest tooth is a little worse, the vast desert, the bad climate gave Yelu Dashi a head drink, the cattle, sheep, soldiers and horses on the road are killed and injured countless times, and the cause of restoring the country is stopped.

At this time, the Jurchens also heard that there was still a huge force in the west of the remnants of Liao, and at that time the Northern Song Dynasty had perished, and the Jurchens also sent a large army to attack Yelu Dashi.

History is sometimes inexplicably contingent and dramatic.

The biggest enemy of Dashi Linya became his friend when he was crusading to the east, and when the Jurchen army faced the desert, it still repeated the mistakes of the past, suffered countless losses, and there was not one out of ten soldiers and horses.

Yelu Dashi was spared a sword disaster, and so far, there has been no more war between the two countries.

If it weren't for the desert barrier, the success of the restoration of the country would not be shown for the time being, at least, the rewriting of history would be inevitable.

The so-called Western Liao, the final demise was due to the rise of Mongolia, the Mongolian iron cavalry swept the world, and the Western Liao was also destroyed by it.

Regardless of success or failure, with the power of one person to save this desperate situation, Yelu Dashi is a well-deserved generation of heroes.

And the end of the world is different from the founding of the country, at the beginning of the founding of any dynasty, it is the period when the founding of the country is the hero, the fierce general is like a cloud, and the heart of the people and the army is at its peak.

In the last days, the monarch is incompetent, the generals are afraid of war, corrupt officials are rampant, the people are not happy, in short, the building will fall, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and there are more strong enemies eyeing the tiger.

For thousands of years in history, such figures are none other than Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty, and another is Dashi Linya, and the rest of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty are all descendants who inherit the ancestral shadow of their predecessors and do not want to forge ahead.

After Yang Ling left from the Liao State Envoy, he inspected the military camp again, and even practiced equestrianism for half a day.

Yang Ling had time to go to Xiongzhou City, ready to buy some things for children to wear, Ma Fangxu was still young, it was the time to grow his body, and the conditions in the army were limited, so he had to be replaced by mare's milk.

It has to be said that the Chinese people's ability to endure hardship is excellent, and there are many troops outside Xiongzhou, but the market inside the city is still very lively.

At this time, a large number of grains and grasses were successively transferred from Henan and piled up in Xiongzhou City.

Because of this, the streets are more crowded, and from time to time you can see people pushing small carts to escort grain and grass.

Therefore, if it is not a person with a special status, he is not allowed to ride a horse in the city, so people come and go, but there is an order.

Yang Ling held a burden in his hand, which was filled with all kinds of things, and when he was preparing to return, a team of fast horses trotted forward along the market from east to west. ”

Hearing this, the pedestrians and carts hurriedly dodged to both sides, and the first knights and Pang Li were all the way, both of them looked like Kansai Hans, and it could be seen that these knights were selected from the elite of the Western Army.

Yang Ling already knew that this army was Tong Guan from the Western Army to form the Shengjie Army, the commander of this army was Wang Yu, in the Jingkang Change, the invincible Jin Army was stubbornly resisted under the city of Taiyuan, and at that time in Taiyuan, only Wang Yu led the Shengjie Army of 3,000 people.

Shengjie army is Tong Guan in charge of the northwest frontier when he recruited a pro-army of tens of thousands of people, Wang Yu from an ordinary soldier gradually promoted to the Xuanfu Division of the capital system, after following Tong Guan to suppress the Fangla uprising, the northern expedition to Liao, defeated in Baigou, and later the Jurchen invaded the Song Dynasty, Tong Guan fled from Taiyuan, leaving him as the deputy governor of the capital responsible for guarding the city.

In the heavy encirclement of Zhongnan Gu Wangshi, the Taiyuan defenders who looked through the autumn water did not expect their own reinforcements, but it was the army of Zonghan who came to the city. Taiyuan in the Song Dynasty was only a small city with no important political and strategic position, the material reserves were extremely limited, the Taiyuan military and civilians had been struggling to support in the strict blockade for more than eight months, the grain stock was basically exhausted, the soldiers first slaughtered cattle, horses, mules and other livestock, and then had to cook bows, crossbows and leather armor to satisfy hunger, while the people in the city could only use chaff and hay to feed their stomachs, and even the tragedy of cannibalism.

Despite this, the Taiyuan army and civilians were still unswerving, refusing to surrender several times after Yan Zonghan's persuasion and determined to repay the country with death.

As a nomadic people, the Jurchens were long in field battles and short in attacking fortified positions, in order to seize Taiyuan, the Jin army summed up the combat experience when capturing the five capitals of the Liao State, in addition to the "city lock law" that had already been implemented and was effective, but also formulated a set of extremely advanced tactics at that time. The Jin army brought 30 cannons, which were able to throw more cannon stones into the city, and the enemy towers used for defense at the head of the city were repeatedly hit and destroyed.

At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, when recovering Jinyang, a bunker fortification called "cave house" was built outside the city to protect it, and the Jin army built 50 large mobile cave houses with wheels installed in the lower part, which played a role like a modern armored transport vehicle, and the Jin army tried to use it to transport civil engineering to fill the moat. During the siege of the city, the Jin army made a set of cave houses and ladders in one of the goose carts for defense and attack, this goose-shaped equipment under the wheels, crowned with iron, can effectively protect the soldiers to attack the city.

For the cannon, set up a fence wall in front of the enemy building, and the roof of the building was covered with chaff cloth bags, so that even if the enemy tower was hit, there would be no major damage and could be repaired quickly. For the filling of the trenches, the Song army dug tunnels to the moats, and when the Jin army filled them with firewood, they set fire to make their previous efforts undone. For the goose cart, the Song army set up a goose-shaped jumping tower at the head of the city, from which a boulder tied with a rope net was put on the top of the goose cart to make its center of gravity rise, and then the goose cart was pulled down with a hook and rope.

But once there is a cannibalism situation in the city, you can imagine what kind of situation the war has been tragic, and at the same time means that the defense of this lonely city has been supported to the limit, under the onslaught of the Jin Dynasty's new force for half a month, the heroic and tenacious Taiyuan City fell on the third day of September after holding on for more than 250 days.

Even under the conditions of the fall of the city, Wang Yu still led the hungry and tired soldiers to insist on street fighting, carrying the imperial appearance of Song Taizong enshrined in the Taiyuan ancestral temple to break through the city, the Jin soldiers chased with all their might, and Wang Yu, who was shot dozens of times, committed suicide by throwing himself into the Fen River. After the Jin soldiers obtained Wang Yu's body, Wanyan Zonghan ordered his soldiers to ride their horses and trample on the meat to vent their anger.

After the city was broken, more than 30 local officials in Taiyuan were martyred, and the Jin soldiers slaughtered the city in retaliation, and the people of Taiyuan who survived the starvation were almost slaughtered.

The ending of the Shengjie army, desolate Ruosi, heroic Ruosi, not the Taiyuan military and civilians are sorry for Zhao Song, but Zhao Song is sorry for the Taiyuan military and civilians.
