In Zhao Xiaoxi's view, a cavalry duel that was defeated despite victory. The cavalry, who made Da Liao confident and arrogant, began to put away their disdain for the Great Song cavalry. Really treat the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty as an opponent like the elite cavalry of the Western Xia.

Compared with the excitement of Zhao Xu and the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, only the generals in the cavalry really understood the gap between them and the cavalry of the Liao State. A qualified elite cavalry cannot be assembled by numbers alone, and requires countless training and actual combat.

At present, the number of cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty has exceeded 100,000, but there are really not many who can really compete with the Liao army. At present, the cavalry participating in the war, who can really fight against the elite of the Liao army, is afraid that only the 30,000 elites of the cavalry army.

The two main cavalry battalions lost nearly 3,000 battleable elites, and Zhang Tingguang, as a commander, also shed tears of pain. After all, he knew that every cavalryman in the cavalry was carefully selected from among the other armies.

As soon as he learned of Zhao Xiaoxi, he added 3,000 armed cavalry to the cavalry camp that could be directly included in the command. Zhang Tingguang also understood that the real commander of the cavalry army had never forgotten this old army formed single-handedly.

Looking at the three thousand elites who have supplemented the camp, the happiest ones are undoubtedly Gao Mingjun and Zhi Zhigang. These armed cavalry are really more elite than the vast majority of cavalry in the cavalry.

The reason is very simple, every Wuwei cavalry is an elite martial arts horseman. If their strength is not strong, how can they form a secret camp in the enemy's territory without being surrounded and suppressed by the Liao cavalry?

Small and fine, is the core requirement of Zhao Xiaoxi to form a secret camp of armed cavalry. Most of these armed cavalry have practiced the ancient martial arts of the rivers and lakes. Although it is not as exaggerated as him, it is much stronger than the average cavalry soldier.

When the Song army was happy about this victory, in a separate cavalry camp, Wanyan looked a little solemn. It seems that these Song Liao cavalry duels also brought him a lot of shock.

Look at the sitting under the hand. A middle-aged man who was silent said with a solemn face: "Brother-in-law, are you still sure that you want to take the chestnut from the fire?" The cavalry of the Song army is not as weak as we thought before! ”

Hearing Wan Yan's inquiry, this middle-aged man with a stiff face. quickly said: "Second son, what you see is only the appearance. If I had chosen, I would not have been afraid of the cavalry of the Song army, but even more afraid of their artillery.

Along the way, I carefully observed their artillery. It's a very terrifying weapon, and once it appears on the battlefield, it is incredibly lethal. What really needs to be guarded against is their artillery.

Of course, I also noticed that these guns were unusually heavy. As long as you can get into their guard circle at close range. The guns were ineffective. In the future, when encountering this kind of artillery, it is necessary to win quickly and shorten the distance between the two sides.

Another thing to note is that the artillery camp seems to have another batch of reinforcements. The reinforcements were also secluded, and I didn't see them a few times when they arrived at the camp. Come to think of it, this is another strange soldier of the Song army! ”

Faced with this brother-in-law's answer, Wan Yan said helplessly: "Brother-in-law." I'm not asking you now whether Song Jun is strong or not, but asking you. Do you want to take risks? You must know that if you are not careful, my Jurchen tribe will be really dangerous. ”

Regarding Wanyan Aguta's worries, his brother-in-law said very calmly: "Could it be that the Liao State was destroyed and the Song Dynasty was a single country, so the Jurchen tribe was really safe?" Second son, the Jurchen tribe wants to rise. What you want is chaos in the world.

At present, Song Liao's strength is not comparable, it is best to let them fight to the death. I waited for the opportunity in the chaos, and at the first opportunity, the Song army collapsed. And this opportunity to collapse the Song army fell on the Great Song Emperor. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wanyan Agu said with some horror: "Brother-in-law." What do you mean? Are we going to assassinate the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty? Isn't this a big deal? That's the consequence of settling a mortal enmity with Song Jun! ”

'Those who do great things can only succeed regardless of the consequences. What's more, as long as the emperor of the Song Dynasty died, their army would collapse. Presumably, I don't need to say it, the second prince also knows that the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty will fight for the new emperor.

According to the information we have learned, this young emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has no heirs to inherit the throne now. Once he has an accident on the battlefield, this succession battle alone can make the Great Song Dynasty chaotic for a while.

As long as the Great Song Dynasty has no time to take care of us, the son will help his father-in-law to recover the entire Liaodong realm. Waiting for the opportunity to annex some of the Liao country's territory, it will have the foundation to compete for hegemony in the world. If you miss this opportunity, the Jurchen will never come out.

Whether it is to submit to the Liao State or to the Great Song Dynasty. There will never be anyone who really treats the Jurchens as their own family. If you want to be respected, the most important thing is to be strong in your own strength. What does the second son think? ’

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

These words have been circulated all over the world for a long time, and they are naturally clear. Now that they have the status of the king of Liaodong, what they lack is nothing more than an opportunity. It's just that this bet is really a bit big!

Perhaps seeing the hesitation on his face, the middle-aged man, who had always been expressionless when he spoke, said: "Second son, those who achieve great things are not informal. Right now, it's a Jurchen tribe, a once-in-a-lifetime good time, and if you miss it, you'll never come again.

If the Great Song Dynasty really recovered the land of Youzhou, the soldiers pointed directly at the hinterland of the grassland. During the Han and Tang dynasties, the Central Plains soldiers were powerful, I don't think I need to say more, you should also have a number in your heart, right? Where to go, the second son thinks about it for himself! ”

If someone could hear the conversation between the two men, they would definitely know that they had bad intentions. At present, although the Song army is wary of these thousand Jurchen cavalry, it has also slowly relaxed some of its vigilance.

Not many people know about the existence of such a time bomb today. When the Song army was immersed in victory, Yelutu, who was far away in the camp of the Liao army, had a somewhat hideous expression, unwilling to lose this first battle like this.

asked the commander of the army around him: "Yelu Liangcai, how do you plan to use the troops next?" His Majesty sent a letter asking Prince Ben to end this war as soon as possible. Now that Liaodong is in turmoil, the army must return to support as soon as possible.

Although Prince Ben said before the war, this battle will not interfere with your command. But today we have lost for a while, and our army's capable soldiers have already gathered here. If we try it any longer, I am afraid it will not be of any use. Is it possible to start a big war directly? ”

Facing Yelutu's impatience, Yeluliang thought for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the war is in a hurry, the old minister is not absolutely sure that he will win the Song army. Presumably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that we can't afford to lose this battle! ”

Listening to Yelu Liangcai's sigh, Yelutu was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "The general's words are reasonable, but what is the use of us continuing to drag on now?" The army is gathered here, and the consumption of a day is extremely staggering.

In the past, we had people from the rear tribes to prepare supplies for everyone. But at present, Liaodong and Liaoxi are in turmoil one after another, and the empire has lost the support of many tribes. If you don't fight for a long time, I'm afraid the morale of the army will change! ”

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and Yelutu is also clear. But as the crown prince, he also commanded the war. He knew better that after the beginning of spring, the Song army went north, which caught Da Liao off guard.

Since the beginning of the civil strife in Liao, the use of troops by the Liao State has hardly stopped. Many places have been reduced to rubble. If it weren't for the possession of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, they would not have the materials to prepare for this big war.

At present, the loss of the state city in front means that their food supply needs to rely on the supply of the tribes in the rear. In the face of the supply of materials for such an army, I am afraid that no matter how rich the tribe is, it will not be able to bear it for long!

In short, the current situation of Liao, Yelutu is also clear. But he knew better that compared with the Song army, which was rich and strong, they had enough materials to drag it down, but the Liao State could not afford to drag it out, so they had to end the battle quickly.

Seeing that Yelutu said this, what else could Yeluliang say?

After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay! The old minister understands, but if the decisive battle starts tomorrow, the ironclad heavy cavalry of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still needs to obey the dispatch of the old minister. Only they can decide the outcome of the war. ”

Ironclad heavy cavalry, the elite cavalry that the Liao army really built with all its might. The role of these cavalry is undoubtedly very amazing on the battlefield. It's just that for this ironclad heavy cavalry, whether it can really play a decisive role tomorrow will be tested on the battlefield.

When the Liao army decided to start a decisive battle tomorrow, the Song army was also studying the war. For this kind of delay, in fact, it is not what Song Jun wants. It's just that considering the comprehensive combat strength, the defensive counterattack seems to be more suitable for the Song army.

In particular, the artillery commander Zhao 18 suggested that the artillery team was more suitable for sticking to the Chinese army. Even Zhang Dan must also consider the role of this artillery team that can still exert strong combat power in field battles.

The second is the three thousand musketeers, Zhao Shibai has never said it. Just tell Zhang Dian that tomorrow the guards of the artillery team will be on guard and handed over to the reinforcements sent by Zhao Xiaoxi. Other escort forces can also be freed up to help with the battle.

When both parties were busy arranging troops at night, Zhao Xiaoxi and Qiao Feng finally led their troops and walked out of the secret camp. After resting in the secret camp for two days, the state of the men and horses has returned to the best, and tomorrow will be the moment for them to show their skills.

Compared with the 10,000 elites of Liaoxi led by Qiao Feng, the ghost cavalry army that followed behind Zhao Xiaoxi and reappeared on the battlefield. Let these elites of Liaoxi also feel the strength of this cavalry.

Although the cavalry numbered only a thousand, these men wore masks and cloaks and wandered like a group of ghosts roaming the night. Let everyone who sees them feel a chill from the heart.

The Liaoxi cavalry, who had heard of the ghost cavalry's achievements, felt that they were outnumbered. But they all knew that if they faced this cavalry, the real victory or defeat would not be known. The chill emitted by this cavalry army makes people feel a little frightened!

Even Qiao Feng sighed that this righteous brother's training ability really made him have to say a word. Such an elite iron horseman, even if he touches it, he doesn't dare to say that he can get out safely. After all, manpower is always limited! (To be continued......)
