Under the Yijin Pass, the mid-lane army led by Xiao Yunjin also launched an attack on the same day.

According to the usual routine, Yelu ordered tens of thousands of infantry of the Liao army to rush to Yijin Pass and climb the city wall at the risk of death. All the siege equipment also did their best, in order to be able to get the head of the Song army and give their compatriots who were churning in the rain of arrows for their meager support.

Unfortunately, their boss did not fully learn the lesson of Xiao Zhuobu, and under the saturation blow of the Song army's various long-range weapons, the first day of the attack was declared a failure after leaving a corpse on the ground.

After Xiao Yunjin vented his temper, he asked angrily: "Tell me, tell me, what kind of battle are you fighting?" wasted a whole day, died so many soldiers, and didn't even touch the head of the Song army. Say to yourselves, what will you do tomorrow? ”

"Queen Mother, please calm your anger! It's useless to be a minister, it makes you anxious, Weichen should be damned! Jerod didn't quibble, because he knew that there was no point in quibbling with a woman, and it would only make him more unlucky.

However, Xiao Xunbu is still very righteous, before Yelu relieved him of the siege, this time he boldly said: "Queen Mother, Lord Yelu's performance today is impeccable, whether it is organizing an attack or arranging a retreat, he is in line with the way of the soldiers." The criminal ministers thought that this battle was unfavorable, because the Song army was too obscene, relying on the advantage of the city wall, so that the warriors of our army had nowhere to exert their strength. According to the opinion of the criminal ministers, if we want to defeat the Song army as soon as possible, it is best to lure them out of the city and let them fight us outside the city. The criminal believes that as long as the Song army is not protected by the city wall, no matter how sharp their bows and crossbows are, it will be impossible to stop the footsteps of my Daliao Iron Cavalry! ”

Xiao Yunjin looked at him like an idiot: "Aren't you talking nonsense!" Who in this world doesn't know how powerful our Da Liao Iron Rider is, do you think that the Song people are as stupid as you, and they will put a good city wall and run out to fight with us? Are you stupid, or do you think you're stupid? ”

"The Queen Mother is angry!" Xiao Xunbu hurriedly knelt on the ground under the pressure of her female power.

Yelu San's eyes lit up, and he said in Xiao Yunjin's ear: "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that King Xiao's opinion is worth considering!" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yunjin glanced at him, a little confused, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Are you even here to play the mourners? ”

"Don't dare!" Yelu coaxed her patiently: "Queen Mother, you listen to what the minister said to you!" Judging from today's situation, the crossbow arrows of the Song army have been greatly improved compared to the past, and it is very difficult for us to attack head-on, either by using soldiers to fill them, or by waiting for the Song army to run out of arrows, but this is the next strategy. Therefore, attracting them out of the city to fight is undoubtedly the best option at the moment. As you said, the Song people would not have come out to fight us under normal circumstances, but if there is something that can attract the Song army enough, it is not impossible for the minister to lead them out of the city......

In the end, under the careful persuasion of the pillow man and the dog's legs, Xiao Yunjin agreed to Yelu Sansheng's suggestion and prepared to play a trick with Song Jun.

After a few more people discussed the details, Xiao Yunjin finally returned to her peaceful state, and inadvertently thought that she still had an army fighting, so she asked casually: "How is the battle situation with the king of the Southern Courtyard, is there any new reply?" ”

Yelu said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the messenger sent by the minister has returned, and the king of the Southern Courtyard said that their attack there has also been met with stubborn resistance from the Song army, but they have already taken measures to continue the onslaught tomorrow, and said that they are confident that they will take some Waqiao Pass, which will not delay your entire strategic deployment." ”

"Finally, there is some good news!" Xiao Yunjin rarely showed a smile.

Of course, she didn't know that her treacherous little brother was not as brave as he said, otherwise her early problem would have been aggravated a lot.

The next morning, the Liao army was again arrayed five miles away, and it did not seem to have any intention of attacking the city.

The Liao army position suddenly ran to ride and galloped towards the Yijin Pass, holding a white flag while shouting loudly in Chinese not to release arrows. Soon after, the Liao army messenger successfully completed his mission and delivered Xiao Yunjin's letter to Zhi Weizheng.

Yang Jinhua saw that Zhi Wei was frowning with the letter, so she leaned up and asked, "Lord Zhe, what is written on this letter?" ”

"Back to the concubine, this is the war letter given to us by the queen mother of the Liao Kingdom, you can see for yourself!" Zhi Wei is offering his faith to her hands.

The content of the letter was very short, and the central idea was to make a bet with the Song army that each side would send an army to fight a decisive battle outside the city, so as to decide whether the battle would be won or lost. If the Song army loses, it will obediently send supplies for the Liao State to survive the winter; If the Liao army loses, it will be returned to one of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

"Tut-tut......" After Yang Jinhua finished reading, she smashed her mouth and said: "This Xiao family's mother-in-law is too stingy!" ”

Zhi Weizheng: "What's wrong?" You wouldn't really want to agree with her attention, would you? ”

"Why not?" Yang Jinhua looked at him playfully: "I don't accept anything that is sent to the door, others will laugh at us Song people are stupid!" ”

Zhi Weizheng: "Then how do you think we reply to the Liao people?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Yang Jinhua smiled treacherously: "Originally, this war was within your purview, but this matter is a bit big, you may not be able to make a decision, then this palace will do it for you once!" ”

Zhi Weizheng: "Concubine, please speak!" ”

Yang Jinhua: "Hmm! Let's just reply to them, if you want to make an appointment, you can! However, their appetite is too small, and Hongu is not satisfied! Since you want to play, let's play a big one, our Da Song is not as swishy as them. If they win this battle, our Great Song Dynasty will definitely offer ten times the year's gift, and assist the Liao State in relieving the victims; If our army wins, then please also ask the Liao State to return to my Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. My emperor is merciful, and the palace does not want to kill more, if the queen mother of Liao agrees, then tomorrow will send two thousand soldiers to fight, regardless of the type of troops, a game will be won or lost! Do you dare? ”

Zhi Weizheng: "Guifei, are you playing a little bigger?" You are so naughty, does the emperor know? ”

"Huh!" Yang Jinhua curled the corners of her mouth: "How can you wronged this palace so much!" This palace also wants to share the emperor's worries and take back the sixteen states of Yanyun as soon as possible! ”

"Yes...... But! Zhi Wei was looking at Yang Jinhua who was trembling with two big teeth smiling, and he couldn't bear to interrupt her conjecture, but war was not a child's play, he tangled it for a while and said: "In case, the minister said in case!" If we hadn't beaten them, would we really have to give them so many things? ”

"Impossible!" Yang Jinhua said categorically: "With their stupid forks, if they want to fight with this palace, they can't kill them!" Besides, the gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase, does it have anything to do with the palace! This palace is a good woman, it's really not good, you can rely on it! ”

Zhi Wei was looking at her appearance of not being ashamed but proud, her face was completely black, and she was completely speechless.

As a result, the fighting style of the two armies of Song and Liao changed because of the two women with their own ghosts. Although Xiao Yunjin and the others were also thundered by Yang Jinhua's generosity, they still agreed to Yang Jinhua's plan under the temptation of interests.

Of course, like Yang Jinhua, they also didn't think that they would not be able to defeat Song Jun. If something happens, hehe...... A fool would give up his land!

After some collusion between the two sides, the Song and Liao armies formally reached the famous "Yijin Pass Agreement". According to the content of the agreement, the Liao army retreated ten miles and sent 2,000 soldiers to fight with the same number of Song troops under the city, and the rest of the troops were not allowed to participate, otherwise they would be punished as defeat.

It took almost the whole morning to finish these preludes. Therefore, the confrontation between the two armies of Song and Liao was chosen after lunch. Full of wine and food, the "audience" of the Song and Liao armies rushed to their respective "viewing areas" on time, full of enthusiasm for the upcoming military performance.

Subsequently, the participants of the two armies also rushed to the venue. The cavalry on the Liao army's side is all cavalry, and all of them are elite soldiers selected from the army, one by one, with horizontal swords and majestic style. The Song army, on the other hand, looked much more cold, with a thousand of them all lined up in front of the battle with large shields and spears, while the other 1,000 dragged two hundred wagons behind them.

Zhi Wei was standing in the city tower with Yang Jinhua, looking at the busy "coachman" below, and couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Guifei, do you use these carriages to deal with the Liao army?" ”

Yang Jinhua: "Ouch, hey! Fold, sir, hurry up and get rid of the word! Even if you don't believe in the palace, you can't help but believe in the emperor! This magic machine battalion uses the first weapon, and it is absolutely no problem to deal with the Liao army. Do you know what the name of the brigade sent by this palace is? Tiger Run Brigade, I'll let you see their power later! ”

Zhi Weizheng: "Even if they can win the Liao army, what if the other party changes their mind and sends troops to attack them, with so many carriages on them, it is not easy to withdraw!" ”

"Uh...... You have a point! We can't help but guard against the Liao people from making cheap! Yang Jinhua thought for a moment and said, "Order the Green Dragoon Army to be divided into two divisions and assemble in the East and West Urn Cities respectively in case of accidents!" Keep all bed crossbows and trebuchets on standby at the same time! ”

Maybe Yang Jinhua felt that this was not enough insurance, and after hesitating for a while, he moved the guys from the ballista brigade to the city wall.

After the Song army sent the signal that they were ready, two miles away, the two thousand cavalry of the Liao army, who had been waiting impatiently, launched an impatient attack. Two thousand cavalry, with the power of thunder, swept in, raising dust from the sky. In contrast, the Song army's side was much quieter, and the soldiers with shields and guns who were originally standing in front of the formation, I don't know if they were afraid, they actually divided into two teams from the middle, trotted and hid behind those carriages, leaving a bunch of carriages in front.

Seeing the performance of the Song army, not only the Liao army that charged, but even the Liao army who watched the excitement behind them booed, wantonly mocking the cowards of the Song army, one by one bragging more fiercely than anyone else, and they withered when they saw the real Zhang.

However, is this really the case? The mystery is soon revealed.

After a few moments, the speed of the Liao cavalry was raised to the extreme, and by this time they were less than a mile away from the Song army, and the Song army's improvised "city wall" with horse-drawn carriages did not seem to have the slightest effect on them.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the Song army's position, and the captain of the Huben Brigade shouted: "Ignition!" ”

Then, behind the walls of the city built by the hundred carriages, a wisp of green smoke rose from the other hundred strange carts. In a few moments, the hundred carts suddenly spewed out a puff of smoke, and in front of them, clusters of arrows with fire flashed out, cutting through the clear sky, and rushing straight into the head of the Liao cavalry that was rushing wildly......

After a lightning-like confrontation, the cavalry of the two thousand Liao troops proved with practical actions that the sophisticated equipment that the Liao State was proud of was all scum under the sharp steel arrows of the Song Dynasty. Although the 10,000 arrows fired by 100 "Hundred Tigers Rushing Together" successfully interrupted the shock part of the Liao army, in view of their own accuracy and lethality, they could not wipe out the 2,000 Liao cavalry.

It doesn't matter, though!

Yang Jinhua didn't think that his Tiger Ben Brigade would solve the battle with one round of attacks, and he didn't underestimate the degree of obscenity of Zeng Gongliang and others, the designer of "Hundred Tigers Running Together".

The 10,000 sparkling arrows, whether they hit the target or not, finally emitted a puff of smoke, and soon gathered together and shrouded the Liao army...... (To be continued.) )
