"Soldiers, Liao Qi is in front of you, follow a certain kill, kill the general, capture the flag, and make a stupid and vigorous meritorious service!"

Li Huating raised his knife and stabbed the sky obliquely, briefly issued a mobilization order, and then rushed towards the Liao ** formation.

"Kill!"

A large area of spears and halberds pointed diagonally at the sky, and with a murderous shout, the morale of the cavalry came out.

"Dear!"

Nearly 1,000 cavalry galloped out of dozens of horses, and the soldiers of the second echelon raised their guns and swords, shouted, and rode to kill again.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

A team of Song cavalry, all rushed forward in a zigzag charging formation, and the Song cavalry of nearly ten layers formed a huge arrow, which rushed straight to the main formation of Xiao Tzu Rin's Chinese army.

Seeing Li Huating so powerful, Pan Mei couldn't help but praise him: "General Li, what a hero!" ”

"Han'er is mighty, our army will win! Han'er is mighty, and our army will win.

The rest of the infantry soldiers either hit the shield with swords or slammed their guns on the ground, and cheered for their warriors with one shout after another in the shocking "boom" sound.

Seeing that the Song army only had more than 100 horsemen, and saw them as if they were nothing, Xiao Tzu Rin's angry beard flew up, and he clenched the barrel of his gun and shouted: "Meet the enemy!" ”

Yin thunder rolling, endless, Li Huating with 10,000 iron horses, trampling the snow and soaring, straight into the Liao army's main formation, for a while people turned on their backs, killing the wilderness.

The angry Hunan is surging, like a mountain and a tsunami, the whole plain is full of galloping war horses, sharp spears and snow-bright steel knives are everywhere in the air, and the banners are rolled, rushing back and forth, and the Han cavalry of 10,000 people rushed into the Liao army's main formation, just like a pot of boiling oil poured with a scoop of cold water, and immediately exploded.

At this time, the 50,000 cavalry of the Tong Yu Department behind the palace were still standing there motionless, as quiet as a mountain, silent slaughter, only the battle flag hunting, adding to the invisible pressure, who knows when they will swarm out?

Therefore, Li Huating rushed into the enemy's main formation with 10,000 iron cavalry, although he paid a heavy sacrifice at the moment of charging into the formation, but once he broke through into the enemy's army, he was like a fish in water, blocking the east and killing the west, brave and invincible, and turning the Liao army's main formation upside down.

"The king has won the world, the king has been called the Son of Heaven, the two countries of Song and Xia, the famous generals under his command are like clouds, the husband should not take the fame immediately at this time, and compete for the first brocade among the brave generals, it will be like a boat against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, at this time you don't fight for merit, when will you wait?"

Li Huating is really desperate, there are reinforcements behind, and he doesn't have to worry about it, he just blindly moves forward, forward, forward, tearing, tearing, riding around, leading his troops to advance and retreat like turbulent waves, calmly, the entire Liao army has been shaken, and with the habit, the entire Liao army camp is like water in a cauldron, rippling violently, and the formation is chaotic.

"General Tong, victory or defeat is here, your department can rush to the brocade!"

Seeing that Li Huating had disrupted the Liao army's formation, there was already an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the experienced Pan Mei immediately seized the opportunity and gave a resolute order.

"The last general obeys!"

Pan Mei said a word, and Tong Yu, who had long been unable to hold back, agreed happily, raised his spear, and shouted: "Brothers, don't let General Li specialize in the front, let them see our brothers' methods, kill them!" ”

"Kill!"

The 50,000 cavalry were divided into two roads, and they outflanked the main force of the Liao army in a pincer shape, and at the same time, Xiao Tzu Rin also issued a general, and the two wings of the two armies met in the shape of goose wings.

The Liao army was a reactionary local counterattack in the retreat, and the three commanders, Xiao Tzu Lin, Xiao Gan, Han Kuangsi, Guanzhou Rì, etc., each had their own subordinates, and their orders were not as unified as the Song army.

It was just a moment of retreat, and it was also a melee, and the momentum was completely different, and the army of Li Tong and the two had formed a situation of pressing and fighting.

This battle is of great significance in the short history of the Song-Liao War, in the next few hundred years, the Song State has never had such a complete battle with the strength of cavalry against foreign enemies, this is also the only time, but also a complete victory, so it has been established by the Luzhou Yanwutang as the predecessor of the Great Song Military Academy as the jīng code of cavalry warfare, is the Song and Liao sides of many generals and outstanding soldiers also because of it forever in the annals of history.

Hundreds of years later, in a teaching class summarizing this battle, Mr. Touhua Mantian, a senior teacher of the Great Song Dynasty Yanwutang, introduced the students as follows:

"Historically, at that time, the Liao people called the Han people Han'er, and the Han people also called themselves so, and after a few decades, Han'er was customarily just a special name for the Han people of Liao origin, in order to distinguish the Han people from the north and south, the people of the Song State were called Han people from then on, and the Han people of Liao State were called Han'er, and there was no such distinction at that time. Therefore, he suddenly heard the shout of "Han will win", and although the men of the Han family in the camp of the Liao army had already regarded themselves as Liao people emotionally and psychologically, they still suffered a strong psychological impact.

In particular, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the powerful impact and shock force could not be described in words, and the Han people of the Northern Army, who were also of Han blood, could not help but suffer a great demoralization. This played an immeasurable role in Li Huating's 10,000 cavalry forcibly breaking into the enemy's formation, and it can be said that this was an extremely successful example of psychological warfare.

In addition, at that time, the Liao army was on the way to defend Nanjing, and it was to launch a local counterattack on the way to retreat, and the tactic they should adopt in this case was to flee immediately if they missed a blow, and once a frontal decisive battle was formed, it was a very dangerous thing for the Liao soldiers who had no intention of fighting, and at this point, the Liao people made a mistake again.

The third point is that General Pan Mei, the co-commander of the generals of the Eastern Route Army of our country at that time, returned to the aid in time and personally commanded the battle. At that time, the Liao State had three generals, Xiao Gan, Xiao Tzu Rin, and Han Kuangsi, who belonged to different armies, and the military ranks or actual powers of the three were generally not distinguished, which caused the situation that they fought separately and could not effectively mobilize the whole army, which was also an important factor in determining the outcome of this general battle.

Of course, there is no doubt about the role played by the officers and men of our army in fighting with one heart and one mind and fighting tenaciously in this battle. In addition, there is another important reason that students should not ignore, and that is the impact of unexpected factors on the war. For example, in this battle, there was an official who came to China to Xuanfu in Jiaozhi in the future, who was still a small lieutenant at that time, named Ding Feng, Ding Feng was a small salt Ding in Shuzhong before, because he participated in General Tong Yu

of the rebels, become a part of this army.

He was wounded in the battle, and his intestines flowed out. After he fell off his horse, he casually pulled out his saber and broke the front legs of a war horse that rushed in front of him, causing the enemy on the horse to fall, and then Ding Feng took advantage of the situation to cut off the enemy's head. And what he never expected was that the person killed by him with a knife was actually Han Kuangsi, the king of Yan of Liao.

Han Kuangsi, a native of Yutian, Jizhou. His father Han Zhigu was taken into the Khitan as a slave by the Khitan when he was six years old, and later became a domestic slave and married the founding emperor of the Liao State, Yelu Abaoji, with the hostess Empress Chunqin, and became a palace slave. His son Han Kuanghei, good medicine since childhood, the queen treated him like a son, and then he ascended to the sky in one step, successively served as the Taizu Temple detailed stability official, Shangjing stayed, Nanjing stayed, the privy envoy, the southwest envoy, the Jinchang military festival envoy and so on.

The later Liao Emperor Yeluxian was frail and sickly, and Han Kuangsi was a skilled doctor, so the two established a deep personal friendship very early, and Yeluxian's empress ...... Cough...... This one...... It is Xiao Xuan, the empress dowager of Liao, who left many ambiguous legends between the emperor of our country's holy ancestors, who once had a marriage contract with Han Kuangsi's son Han Derang, but during the rebellion of King De, Han Derang, who accompanied him, blocked the cold arrow for Yeluxian, and died as a result, so out of the psychology of compensation, coupled with Yeluxian's lack of henchmen at that time, Han Kuangsi was named King Yan.

I would like to make a special note here, students, the folk legends are all due to the close contacts between the Song and Liao countries after the signing of the armistice agreement, China's economic assistance to the Liao State, and the frequent xìng meeting between the two countries, which made some good deeds make up lies. In the official history of the Song and Liao countries, there is no clue to find and verify these fragrant legends, and the daughter of Xiaoxiao Lou has also compiled a lot of repertoire about the Holy Ancestor and Empress Xiao.

Ahem, okay, let's get back to the point, the unexpected death of Han Kuangsi, the king of Yan, caused great confusion in the Liao army, which accelerated the rout of the Liao army, which made the entire battle situation quickly tilt towards us, so that our army won a big victory with a small casualty price. Students, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and you can't talk about victory or defeat until the last moment, a small person, a small thing, and an accident can completely change the situation of the battle.

It was a battle, Han Kuang died, Xiao Guan was captured with a broken arm, Wu Tart Rin was lightly and seriously injured in dozens of places, the main force of the department was killed or captured, and nearly seventy percent of it was annihilated, which can be called a complete victory, but the Song army still did not give up, Xiao Tart Rin led the remnants of the army to break away from the battle, relying on the precious time that the soldiers who were still stranded on the battlefield to fight to the death quickly retreated, but Tong Yu yīn was not scattered and chased after him.

The Liao army withdrew dozens of miles, came to a small hill, called Sheephorn Mountain, with a condescending advantage is still difficult to defeat the Song army's rapid attack, Tong Yu was not afraid of sè, led the troops to climb the mountain and attack, a bloody battle, forced the Liao army to abandon Sheephorn Mountain, continue to retreat, between a rì, four easy defensive positions, and Tong Yu has always bitten them, the fierce battle, from Tong Yu tired three war horses, change horses four times to continue to charge into battle can be seen.

In the end, Xiao Tzu Rin only led more than 300 horsemen to escape from the valley, and his subordinates escaped to cover the main general, and all of them became prisoners of the Song army. Xiao Tart Rin led more than 300 cavalry remnants to flee back to Youzhou, Xiao Xuan heard the news like five thunderbolts, the whole army of the main cavalry force was annihilated, and the blow to the morale of the Liao army was significant.

In this battle, the Liao army was still completely defeated and defeated, and the Liao army's proud cavalry was no longer a sharp weapon to restrain the Han people, and the weight of the pessimistic atmosphere of the Liao army can be imagined.

Just when the people were panicked and uneasy, Yang Hao led the main force to travel at night, and finally rushed to Youzhou City, before many Liao troops who rushed to Youzhou to help, they were trapped in Youzhou City again, and once again formed a scene completely similar to Zhao Guangyi's original scene: the Song army besieged the city, and the reinforcements surrounded the Song army.

But this time, will the Song army repeat the defeat of the past?

Yang Hao used almost the same moves as Zhao Guangyi in the early stage, and he wanted to get back this field for the defeat of the previous Song army.

Yang Hao personally patrolled the three armies, arranging espionage, communications, assembly, deployment, counterattack, interception, as well as heavy crows, grain and grass, military doctors, and logistics......

At the head of Youzhou City, Xiao Sui was also personally patrolling the three armies to boost morale. A narrow-sleeved robe with an indigo sè disc collar, covered with fine-scale chain mail, a shiny heart-protecting mirror on the chest, a pure white sè silver fox fur on the waist and neck, and a long bunch of pheasant feathers fluttering on the silver helmet on the head, lining the bright eyes and bright teeth of the Empress Dowager Xiao.

On her left, with a tiger general, starry eyes and a lofty spirit, it was the Liao Kingdom that was greater than Yue Yelu Huge. Inspecting to the east city, Xiao Xuan stopped, holding the arrow stack and looking at the city, ten miles of company camp, hunting with flags, people shouting horses neighing, a noise.

Suddenly, Xiao Xuan's eyes were attracted by something. Huang Luo umbrella cover, that is the emperor's guard of honor, Yang Hao, under the Huang Luo umbrella cover, it must be Yang Hao, Xiao Xuan's silver teeth immediately clenched, the eyebrows were a little red, and the pretty face was as bright as water jade Guanyin, and there was a soaring murderous aura when he boarded.

The Huangluo umbrella cover under the city suddenly stopped, and a general in silver armor could be seen slowly walking out from under the Huangluo umbrella cover, taking a few steps forward, standing still, and looking at the phoenix thumb umbrella at the head of the city.

They were too far away from each other to see their facial features and eyebrows clearly, but the two of them seemed to see each other's appearance clearly, and they stared at the line of figures for a long time, as if countless soldiers on both sides felt this invisible exchange of each other's monarchs, and the entire battlefield suddenly fell silent, only the howling wind, the rolling banner, and the uninteresting horses, occasionally neighing.

The two eyes crossed the barracks, over the trenches, over the city walls, intertwined, flowing, looking at each other for a long time, Xiao Xuan suddenly withdrew his hand, clutched a puff of ice and snow on the arrow stack in his hand, and strode backwards.

"Break with you, only war, and there is no more to say!"
