Yang Wenguang's expression was not so good, and he was not only puzzled but even dissatisfied with Chen Yuan's letting him join the battle as a Khitan this time. Pen, Qu, Pavilion www.biquge.info the blood feud of several generations of their Yang family, if he could, Yang Wenguang would use a more direct way. This kind of sentiment is not only in him, but even popular among those ordinary people.

"Big brother, I can't figure it out, we're fighting myself now, why do you have to carry that Xiao Suli out?"

Chen Yuan immediately stood still: "Can you beat Yelu Neghulu?" ”

Yang Wenguang did not hesitate at all: "Yes!" Didn't the emperor's newly formed cavalry come over soon? It doesn't take much, only another 100,000 people, and I dare to fight a decisive battle with Yerunegoru. ”

Chen Yuan did not refute his words: "And then? ”

"And then?" Yang Wenguang stopped this time, really, he thought that there would be no problem after winning the Liao State, and then there was the matter of those scholars, and now Chen Yuan asked him, and really made him think about it.

Chen Yuan continued: "Then, exterminate the remnants of the Liao State, and then suppress the resistance of those Khitans, I think these are all things we have to do, right?" ”

Yang Wenguang nodded: "Big brother, these don't need many people." ”

Chen Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him and told him not to continue: "The emperor will give you another 100,000 people, and you don't have 300,000 cavalry in your hands." Yelune has 400,000 gollum, even if you can win the fight, tell me, how many brothers are you going to sacrifice? ”

What is the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Song Dynasty, Yang Wenguang has a number in his heart. This time, Renzong selected the right cavalry among the million-strong army, and compared with the cavalry of the Liao State, the Song army was more professional. Not only the formation of the charge, but also the armament of the weapons is quite reasonable.

There is a square team of 3,000 people, including 500 heavy cavalry, these people can be said to be fully armed, and the armor on their bodies is enough to resist the damage of those bows and arrows in the hands of the Liao people. Once charged, these five hundred men were enough to break through the opponent's defenses.

Behind them were five hundred warriors armed with maces, most of these people had excellent arm strength, they focused on attack power, and the armor on their bodies was only used to protect important parts. Following behind the heavy cavalry, these people can bring great harm to the Liao people when the two sides are in a scuffle.

The third team is a thousand crossbowmen, and the bows and crossbows of the cavalry are already very different from those of the infantry, and the penetration is stronger, which is far from being comparable to the bows and arrows in the hands of the Liao. Yang Wenguang had made a hypothetical experiment, if he was in a confrontation with the Liao, and the three thousand people were hedged, the Song army's bows and crossbows were at least sure that they would disrupt their formation when the Liaons rushed in front of them.

At the rear were a thousand light cavalry, and these cavalrymen were a mobile force with spears in their hands. It can take on the task of pursuing, supporting, and maneuvering around the opponent's flank when the heavy cavalry cannot break through.

In addition, the back of each square also carried five artillery pieces that could move quickly specially made by Zeng Gongliang for cavalry, and once the opponent's crowd was dense, the Song army's artillery fire could give the opponent a fatal blow.

Yang Wenguang firmly believed that the current cavalry of the Song Dynasty was much stronger than the cavalry of the Liao State, but he made a conservative estimate: "To win the battle of Yelu Neguru, we may have to sacrifice between 50,000 and 80,000 people, but big brother, all this is worth it, as long as the Liao State can be destroyed, the frontier of the Great Song Dynasty will be peaceful!" ”

Chen Yuan immediately said: "You are wrong! After destroying the Liao State and Mongolia, as long as there is a Linguo in the Great Song Dynasty, the problem of the frontier will always exist! Wen Guang, let the brothers die less, just take them to practice with the Liao [***] team, there are more things waiting for us to do outside! ”

Yang Wenguang was still not convinced, just like those Song Jun who couldn't figure it out, they were entangled in the hatred with the Liao State, which was not something that Chen Yuan said they could let go. As long as they can obey orders.

The army of the Great Song Dynasty has always instilled the concept of obedience, and used to obey the command of those scholars, such as Liu Ping, who knew that Sanchuankou was a trap, but still stepped into it, because this was the order of Shangfeng, and now they obeyed Renzong's order, Renzong had already told Yang Wenguang to let him listen to Chen Yuan.

So, if you can't figure it out, you don't have to think about it anymore. A fast horse galloped from behind, and before it reached Chen Yuan, he shouted loudly: "Master Horse, the emperor's holy decree has arrived!" ”

Chen Yuan was overjoyed when he heard it: "Okay! Wen Guang, go on the expedition immediately! ”

When Yelu Ningarc arrived in Fengzhou, those so-called rebels had already fled, and the Song army, for whatever reason, did not rush to fight with him as Yelu Gollu had estimated. However, Yelu Ning Arc did not dare to be careless at all, an important reason why he was able to survive after so many years of fighting on the battlefield was that he would not be careless about all possible opponents.

After coming to Toyosu, he immediately used the war as an excuse to make the people of Toyosu safer, and moved all the people who seemed to be a little uneasy to the rear. Although this move does not make much sense now, it at least shows that this is a very cautious person.

As long as he absolutely did it to reassure him, even if it seemed meaningless, he would do it.

According to the news from the Song Dynasty, Xiao Suli, who had fled to the Song Dynasty, with the support of the Song people, absorbed some idle people in the current Song Dynasty and formed a force, which was preparing to fight back.

Although Yelu Ning Arc did not dare to exaggerate Xiao Suli's war talent, he did not believe that the Song Dynasty was now capable of building a fish belly army into an elite division in two months. In the era of cold weapons, the two sides fought with knives and blood, and weapons alone were not enough.

However, he still attached great importance to this opponent, and regarded Xiao Suli as Di Qing, or as much as Yelu Negrune, and after receiving the news, he came up with 10,000 cavalry from afar, and put on the battle formation that he was best at, waiting for the arrival of the opponent.

When the enemy's shadow began to appear in his field of vision, Yelu Condensing suddenly realized that he was wrong, very wrong!

He is a veteran and a veteran. He could see from the formation of the opponent's march that these people were definitely not those rabbles who had only been training for a few months!

The neat formations and distinctive armor in those rows told him that the Song army! It must be Song Jun!

Yelu Ning Arc didn't panic much, and whispered to a guard beside him: "Go back immediately and tell Banzai that the Song people are coming." ”

His tone was very calm, because the arrival of the Song army was originally expected by him, Yelu Ning Arc has been stationed in the north of the Liao State, he was very unconvinced by the last time the Song army defeated the main force of the Liao State in the Battle of Hejian Mansion, he has always wanted to fight with the Song army, and now the opportunity has finally come.

The only thing that made him absolutely regret was that those Song soldiers were actually wearing Khitan clothes.

Just as he was observing these Song cavalry who were unwilling to reveal their identities, the heavy cavalry in the front row immediately attacked him. Said to rush, suddenly accelerated in the process, and the action did not drag the slightest mud and water.

This couldn't help but make Yelu Ning Arc just nod, he knew that at this time, speed became the key to victory, no matter which side it was, once it lost the favorable cover of speed, it would give the opponent a chance to draw a bow and shoot arrows.

The Song army on the opposite side howled, the roar piercing through the thick mask, and their wind-like speed, indestructible armor protection, and glittering spear tips formed an overwhelming momentum, as if a single charge could completely crush the Liao.

Yelu Ning Arc smiled, in his opinion, the tactics of the Song army were completely correct, but their armor was simply the biggest failure. Because although the armor increases the protection of the horses, it also increases the weight of the horses.

As long as you fight for a while, you don't have to fight, and those war horses will be tired and lie down on their own.

He immediately drew his long knife, and his white beard shook in the cold wind: "Warriors! Kill me with me! ”

Yelu condensing arc took the lead, the dense arrow rain of the Song army came, and the guards around him were very loyal to protect his thoughtfulness with their surnames, and when the two armies were about to intersect, the formation of the Song army was still intact, but there were many gaps in the ranks of the Liao people.

A spear stabbed head-on, heading straight for Jeremi's chest. Immediately, the knight only showed two dark eyes, and Yelu Ning Arc couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly.

Almost at the moment when the spear was about to pierce his body, the hunter from the savannah leaned his whole body to the side of the horse. The strength of the whole body was concentrated on the leg that was still in the saddle.

This action of kicking and hiding in the middle is almost the specialty of any Liao rider, but Yelu Ning Arc interprets it even more perfectly, perfectly dodging the fatal blow.

When the enemy suddenly disappeared from his horse, the Song army immediately realized that he had chosen a difficult opponent.

Although "one-hit kill" has always been the pursuit of heavy cavalry, this time he had to make a U-turn with a large radius of maneuver and make another kill.

The scimitar in Yelu Ning's hand had already been chopped off, and the two people crackled and collided with weapons in succession, opening the prelude to hand-to-hand combat.

The balance of victory was clearly tilted in favor of this Song army, because the heavy armor made him not afraid of the sneak attack next to him at all. Yelu Ning, who was dressed in leather armor, moved lightly, and the scimitar in his hand did slash the body of this heavy cavalry of the Song army several times.

However, he was old after all, and the difference in arm strength made this kind of slashing with a general surname not cause more damage to the cavalry of the Song army.

After a few rounds, the panting Yelu Condensation Arc was still holding on. The Liao people next to him encountered a similar situation to him, and the Liao cavalry, which was invincible in front of the Song people, could no longer find a shadow.

What made Yelu Ning's arc even more uncomfortable was that the Song troops behind him who were armed with maces had already crossed the heavy cavalry, wielding the strength in their hands and smashing their heads towards those Liao people. The mace was powerful at that time, not only was it very convenient to use both hands, but it was also quite amazing, and the weapons of the Liao people couldn't resist it at all!

Yelu Ning Arc was a little hesitant at this time, whether to continue this battle with no hope of victory or withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible?

In a rapidly changing battlefield, the slightest hesitation can create opportunities for the enemy. Seeing that the opponent's current situation was about to retreat, Yang Wenguang keenly captured this fighter. The Song light cavalry in the back row stepped up from both flanks at a rapid pace.

Now whether it is strength or morale, the Liao people are at an absolute disadvantage, and they are won by the other party with just one charge?

Yelu couldn't believe it was true, but he couldn't help it!

His expression was a little sluggish, and the heavy cavalry of the Song army on the opposite side once again urged the war horse to rush over, and the iron spear once again forced towards the Yelu Ning Arc that was close at hand.

This time, Song Jun played a little clever, Yelu Ning Arc didn't react, and subconsciously waved his knife to parry, but he didn't expect that this was just a false action, and before he had time to react further, Song Jun suddenly waved the short sword in his hand with his other hand and slashed at the unprotected war horse.

Yelu was caught off guard, and even the man and the horse fell heavily to the ground. A smile finally appeared on the face of the Song army under the thick iron helmet on the opposite side, and the iron spear in his hand stabbed out again towards the Yelu Condensation Arc that had fallen to the ground......
