Chapter 185: A Grudge (2)

Between Youzhou, the wind and clouds are moving together, the Khitan soldiers and horses of Yelu Dashi, and the Xiren tribe army where Xiao Gan is located have already swept out of Yanjing.

There are only a few hundred young people left, and the decisive battle between Song and Liao will start on the Gaoliang River.

A hundred years ago, Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, gathered the national strength accumulated by the two brothers for many years, and wanted to invade the sixteen states of Youyun in the north, and completely wiped out the northern troubles of the Great Song Dynasty.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the Great Song Dynasty, when the combat power was at its peak, Song Taizong brought the great power of destroying the Northern Han Dynasty, drove the expedition in person, and broke through the two states of Zhuoyi, and the head of Yanjing City was in front of him.

Unexpectedly, at that time, the Great Liao, ruled by the Empress Dowager Xiao, there were many talents under her command, and the famous generals were like clouds, and the Song army was defeated in the Gaoliang River, and hundreds of thousands of elites of the founding forbidden army were destroyed in one fell swoop.

In the following hundred years, although the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty was thriving, the martial arts were declining day by day.

I don't know how many years of wars have been fought, and in the end, the alliance of Tanyuan and Song Liao can be regarded as demarcating the territory.

Even so, the Great Song Dynasty was ambitious but insufficient, and the Liao State was tired of war with the sinicization of the country for a long time.

However, it is absolutely impossible for the two countries to exist in peace, and for a hundred years, each country has been playing games in the political, cultural, and diplomatic fields, and has often used force to coerce each other.

In this way, the two sides of the Liao and Song dynasties, on the contrary, have become closely related neighbors.

When Song Huizong decided to go on the Northern Expedition, there were many voices of opposition in the court, and the old Xianggong once wrote to bitterly state the interests and oppose the Northern Expedition.

The analogy of the old breed is very simple, the Liao State was shaken by the emerging Jurchens, and the Great Song Dynasty, as a friendly neighbor, not only did not help the neighbors drive out the robbers, but also helped them fall into the well, which is really undesirable, and the robbers in the future have taken a fancy to their own family business, so how can it be good?

However, Huizong Zhao Ji was so happy, how could he listen to it, and the recovery of the sixteen states of Youyun is indeed of extraordinary significance to the Han nation, so although there was opposition in the DPRK and China at first, once the decision was made, the whole country was exhausted and contributed to this.

Now the first army of the old species and the small species is already about to reach the Gaoliang River, and it is no more than a day's journey at most.

And the so-called former army outposts have already come into contact with Liao Guoyuan on both sides of the Gaoliang River.

This kind of individual combat and killing, there are only a dozen people to catch the right, and the courage relied on is really not a tactical formation, but it is the ability to fight, relying on personal bravery.

This is just a survey of the combat power of the armor soldiers on both sides before the big war.

After a few times, there are casualties, not to mention who took advantage, the old Xianggong army is about to this time, the Great Song Dynasty Sentinel Scout Horse is no longer willing to cross the Gaoliang River, after all, the whole body is involved, the Great Song Dynasty has not tasted the idea of directly hitting the Gaoliang River, if in the process of crossing the river, by the Liao people head-on, it is impossible to say that the great cause of the Northern Expedition will be completely closed.

In this case, even if the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty crossed the Gaoliang River safely, there was still no place to camp according to the danger.

The so-called backwater battle is just being forced to a desperate situation, having to fight, you can imagine that the Liao people have more cavalry, and the Song people have more infantry.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty lined up with the Gaoliang River on their backs, and the Liao cavalry rushed over, so it is conceivable that the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty fell off the Gaoliang River like dumplings.

At this point, the Great Song Dynasty has not allowed the Northern Expedition to exist a little bit risky.

The so-called strategy is nothing more than to win in stability, wait for the opportunity, and the grain and grass of the Liao people will support for three or four months at most.

The best way is to wear down the Liao people alive and take Yanjing without bloodshed.

The old breed of soldiers and horses came first, the small species followed, the army came here, as expected, there was no intention to cross the river first, and the camps were only set up five miles away from the Gaoliang River.

At this time, the sentinels on both sides did not look for people to fight like before, but just scolded each other across the river bank like this.

And just half a day later, where the Liao people were, a large cowhide tent was also built.

Big Stone Forest Teeth, Xiao Gan is already all here.

Yelu Dashi was dressed in plate armor, "King, the Song people came here in two ways, and the soldiers and horses were several times larger than mine, but we couldn't move here." ”

Xiao Gan nodded, "The army of the year is just where the old breed is, Tong Guan is still above the Liu Li River, but according to what a certain family thinks, Tong Guan will eventually find an opportunity to come to the Gaoliang River, and the two armies will defend each other, and it will really be a monolith at that time." ”

In this war, the Liao people were unfavorable, and they fell into inferiority by nature, and if this goes on for a long time, the final outcome is nothing more than being dragged down by the Song army, so the most beneficial to them is nothing more than a quick victory, sweeping away the Song army with lightning speed, and then a Baigou River story.

Therefore, this means that this national war that determines the fate of the two countries must be started by the Liao people, and the Song people will definitely not start the war lightly.

"Don't worry about Lin Ya." Xiao Gan just stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, Da Shi Linya had already offered advice to Xiao Gan before, the Song army had 150,000 soldiers and horses, between the two armies, except for the difference between the infantry and cavalry, the overall level was actually not much different, as long as the Song people guarded the camp, it was difficult for the Liao people to have an advantage.

Therefore, the top priority at the moment is that when the Huanqing Army and the Xihe Army have not reached the Gaoliang River, they should take all the way first, and the rest will not be defeated.

Huanqing Army, Xihe Army is the second road army of the Northern Expedition, by Tong Guan personally sat in the town, out of Zhuoyi Erzhou, along the Liuli River north, into the Gaoliang River, and the old and small species rely on each other, one side is anxious, the other side is quickly supporting, encircling and annihilating the Liao people.

Xiao Gan paused and said, "Lin Ya, according to you, this old species, Tong Guan, which way is preferable?" ”

Xiao Gan asked like this, Dashi Linya breathed a sigh of relief, after all, according to this, Xiao Gan was going to fight the battle of the Gaoliang River fiercely, and what Yelu Dashi was worried about was that Xiao Gan abandoned Yanjing and preserved his strength to meet his huge ambitions.

Da Shi Linya's eyes, how can he not see how much Xiao Gan is intended, the reason why he made concessions is just to let Xiao Gan finish this battle in a down-to-earth manner, which can be regarded as Da Shi Linya's efforts for the Great Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Dashi stood up, "King, these two armies are really first-class strong armies, and the last general really doesn't know where the shortcomings are, now it seems that you should first do a test, and then try to figure out, a certain deep thought, behemoths, must have their sore spots, and please believe me!" ”
