Chapter 141: Return to Heaven (1)
At this time, far to the north, it was precisely Wanyan who set up the horse to muster the last remaining Yong, and the prancing horse rushed towards Xiao Yan. And Xiao Yan's spear stabbed Wan Yan and set up a horse mount, and then slashed the little Jurchen prince with a sword.
In front of the Gaoliang River crossing of the Huanqing Army, it was still quiet, and there was no tension at the time when the war was imminent.
The main force of the Huanqing Army has almost forced Xiao Gan to set up camp. The forward sentinel and Xiao Gan's Liao army sentinel have also been in contact. Xiao Gan's reaction. It's almost the same weakness, except for using a remote barricade to cover his own camp, he doesn't come out of battle at all to challenge the Song army's camp. In order to cover their own camp, the Song army also sent an infantry army to form a formation in front of the camp, waiting at any time for the Liao army to take advantage of the Song army's unstable foothold to sneak attack.
The former army was deployed, and Han Zun, the first general of Huanqing and the deputy envoy of Huazhou regimental training, also expressed cautious optimism. and echoed Liu Yanqing's high-profile judgment that Xiao Gan's momentum had been frustrated, whether he was going to fight or moving was undecided, and the people in Yanjing City were panicking. And told Liu Yanqing that as long as the follow-up weight is quickly transported, the Huanqing Army Brigade can go to battle and break the main force of Xiao Gan in the field of Yicheng with one drum. You can wait for Mrs. Liu to step into Yanjing City in a beautiful manner.
The news is all good news, and it also coincides with what Liu Yanqing thinks in his heart. But the weight is not transported. There is no way to fight in the field. It was absolutely impossible for the Huanqing Army to carry all the war materials on its own and march forward. These have to rely on the rear people to transport. The Song army paid attention to the battle after the battle, the mobility was not as good as the people, and the fight was the consumption of materials. When a large army is pulled out to fight in the field, tens of thousands of armors and millions of arrows need to be transported. You can't let the soldiers gnaw on the dry food they carry with them, and they have to work hard before they go out into battle, and these pot stoves and food are also necessary. When the Song army goes out to fight in the field, there must be a reward, and the more tragic the battle, the more it must be seen, and it is now in camp. It was this group of soldiers who reluctantly made it difficult for them to be rough and rough, far from being stable, and there were still a large number of lifts used to camp in the rear, which had to be transported up, so that the people could strengthen this important camp under Yanjing City as a support for the battle defense, with four arrests and tents. Timber of special sizes, woodworking tools, iron knife carts, night lighting equipment, iron chains that lock the deer, bamboo nails and triangular iron nails placed under the trenches, all kinds of things that I thought of and unexpected, were all loaded on the carts and small carts of these people's auxiliary soldiers, and they had to be transported with great difficulty.
These astronomical quantities of supplies arrived. The camp is secured. Only then could the main force of the Song army pull out the field battle. Generally speaking, there are sufficient supplies and a solid camp to rely on, and there is a basis for advance and retreat. Equipped with the most advanced shooting weapons of this era, the Song Army infantry field group was heavily armored and could use long blades under the foot. Defeat all the enemies of this era!
In the early years of Renzong, he lost Lingzhou and completely lost the last stable place to obtain war horses. The Song army embarked on such a way of building an army that fought for the consumption of national strength and rarely had large-scale mobile operations. A field infantry group pulls out to fight a battle, and the consumption behind it is enough for the nomads to fight dozens of battles. Behind every field battle. All of them need a large number of people and auxiliaries. Material support. Without this support, it was difficult for the Song army to conduct large-scale decisive field battles.
But in this catty, years ago the Middle Ages. In the entire earth, only the Great Song Dynasty can support such a field group for a hundred years!
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one,
Huanqingjun, of course, understands this and the truth. Han Zun's words are just a sentence, lift the heavy materials and transport them quickly!
But Liu Yanqing, who was urging the resumption of heavy lifting materials in the back, was full of tears when he mentioned this. The war is now over, and any further delay is nothing more than a matter of months. The state of preparedness of Hebei Zhulu is about to end. Everyone was busy reaping the benefits at the end of the war. With the military and civilian husbands at least 100,000, the daily salt and vegetable money is a huge number. The officials in charge of the transfer of Hebei Zhulu should seize the time to deduct it, they don't want it and can't do it, and the officials at all levels have a share of the profits, unless they pay their own money to deal with their bosses. Needless to say, Tong Guan's three-way Xuanfu Establishment Embassy will have to divide a considerable part of it!
The people worked hard every day in Liaodi, and they had to risk the danger. Withholding this, although there is no other action under the watchful eye of the army, but the work is doubly hard. The pontoon bridge was easily erected, and after the main force of the army passed through GuΓ², these people crossed the river extremely slowly. At every turn, they were mixed together, and at any time it seemed that people and horses could be seen being squeezed into the water on the pontoon. The people who are specially responsible for the order of the pontoon ferry are so anxious that they jump to their feet, and they sit on the river in a small boat dozens of times a day, and their voices are hoarse to no avail.
After crossing the river in such a chaotic manner, it should have been carried forward as much as it should have been caught. However, Sima, who was in charge of the transfer of these people's husbands, said that the people in a county were not in order, and the materials carried by the people he was responsible for had not arrived. They all have to wait on the river bank for the people in charge of their own team to arrive.
The Northern Expedition has attracted the attention of the whole country. In the past, it was only a small official who led the people of a county to support the army. This time, the counties with the army should be sent to transfer Sima, but there are many civilian officials of the highest quality. No matter how big the temper of a soldier is, there is no way to take these petty civil officials. They glared at each other, and instead turned around and went back.
These transport Simas are not angry, the master has worked hard to serve you Qiu Ba, and you have to do this and that. The procedures are incomplete, and when Sima receives materials in the army, there are some less, and the part that exceeds the loss, who will fill in the old man? Business trips should be hard for military affairs, and you can't lose money anymore!
A day after the main force of the army crossed the river, less than 30% of the supplies were shipped forward. On the north bank of the Gaoliang River, there are more and more people gathering materials. The Song Army's Huanqing Army's remaining troops guarding the ferry also opened up more and more defensive areas. After a day of chaos like this, Liu Yanqing also guarded the reward money from Bianliang for a day at the ferry.
The role of him, the coach, is to send these rewards before the war, boost morale, and supervise the final decisive battle.
Who knows, at this ferry, it is noisy and dizzy. Liu Yanqing is now impatient and can endure hard work. After a day of hustle and bustle, after nightfall, he simply took the guards and moved the brigade forward.
As a certain captain, you can't always mix with you people to eat together here. Why do you have to sleep under the guards of the camp tonight? Back. Let the generals below worry about it. When leaving, as long as he showed the majesty of the captain to the left-behind generals: "Give you another day to carry heavy supplies with the army, and all of them must arrive." Otherwise, the athletes in the army did not engage in rewards and overlapping hair when they were in battle. I had to borrow your head to calm the hearts of the army! β
On the east flank of Liu Yanqing, there were originally Jingyuan Army, Qin Feng Army, Xihe Army and other departments. But Liu Yanqing did not order them to take care of this main ferry port. He is now a young man, and he has dealt with the old and small races once. Everyone has already torn their faces anyway, and they are going their own way, and they will also part ways in the future, so they don't have to look at their bad faces.
On the south bank of the Gaoliang River, there was originally a section of Zhao Liangsi and Guo Yaoshi. Liu Yanqing didn't pay attention to them at all. Zhao Liangsi is such a villain, even Taiwei Liu looks down on him, not to mention that this person is still delusional and wants to share the credit in the hands of Taiwei!
Immediately, they were left in the north of the Gaoliang River, and after being ordered not to cross the river. He didn't let them participate in covering the safety of the ferry, so he left the ferry and headed towards the army.
Making such a decision is really not Liu Yanqing's stupidity. The crossing was far from the camp under the army. Less than twenty miles away. Definitely within the scope of care. The north shore of the ferry. There are still a few pontoon bridges of soldiers and horses left to guard the ferry, which is enough for 13,400 men and horses of the six armies of the Huanqing Army, which is almost 30% of the main force of the whole army. Equipped with a strong bow and crossbow, it is enough to defend in battle. Needless to say, Xiao Gan was already demoralized, even if he drew out his troops and horses to attack the ferry. Intercept the back road of the Huanqing army. The garrison here is also enough to support the main force of the front army to come back, although Liu Yanqing is lazy and afraid of trouble now, and the twilight is deep, but what is this, the official position, is also fought one after another, and it is never the time to be old and confused! One small one one small one, one small one one, one small one
After Liu Yanqing went, the plenipotentiary commander of the left near the ferry was the fourth general of Huanqing, and Cao Lei, the training envoy of the Fangzhou regiment. Counting the genealogy, it is the second son of Cao Bin, the founding general of the year. Cao Binping, Shu swallowed the Southern Tang Dynasty, needless to say. Even Cao Zhen also shocked the father and grandfather of Li Yuanhao, the most outstanding emperor of Western Xia, and when he heard Cao Fu's name, he increased his forehead with his hand and saluted to the east.
After Cao was tired, he didn't have the demeanor of the ancestor at all, just sweating for a while. At least seventy percent of the military hedgehogs are still gathered at the ferry, which is blocked by water. The transfer Sima who led the people in each county was arguing around him, where could he transfer so many materials in one day?
Cao Lei was helpless, and he had to fight for the old face of his Cao family. is also a loss to the children of his family, and he still wins the hearts of the people on weekdays. All the generals except those who remained on guard were drawn out. At the ferry, he helped the people to transfer materials, ease order, and gather teams from various counties. When the sky was about to dawn, it was possible to figure out a look, and the pontoon bridge was much more relaxed. The heavy supplies of the brigade were concentrated on the south bank in the order of departure, and as soon as the morning dawned, they were escorted to the departure. The men were asleep beside the horses and carts, and the soldiers and generals who had been busy all night also returned to the camp.
And Cao Lei, who had been running all night at the ferry, seemed to be stepping on cotton under his feet, wondering if he would go back to his tent to sleep for a while, and slow down his spirits. "Now the captain is in a high position. I don't know what is going on in the army anymore. Now I am thinking about the high-ranking officials Houlu Rongyang after the restoration of Yanjing. Where is there still the appearance of sharing weal and sorrow with the generals in the west, it is becoming more and more difficult to serve"
It is not yet known where the Huanqing Army will be located in the future. Whoever takes care of it. It's better to find a way. After the war, he was transferred out of the Huanqing Army to count the ball......
In the distance, the sky was already gray and began to glow. At this time, it was also the time when the soldiers who had been on duty all night were most tired. I don't know why, Cao Lei suddenly felt that the ground began to shake, and at first he felt that he was tired. So I couldn't stand on my feet, and when I looked down, the lights on the pontoon bridge shone under my feet, and I saw the small stones and sand under my feet trembling gently.
This is by no means an illusion of oneself!
In the faintly discernible sky, the figures of a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance. It was only at this time that the faint sound of horses' hooves was heard. Needless to say, this brigade of cavalry, all the cloth wrapped on the hooves, the people are silent, and the horses are bitten. In the darkness, I watched them coldly at the ferry all night, and then at this time when the sky was about to dawn. A raid was launched!
It's not just Cao Lei, it stretches north along the riverbank. The soldiers who were guarding the crossing on both sides also noticed that these cavalry had suddenly appeared in front of them, and all the horses had already reached their maximum speed. These Liao cavalry lay silently on their horses. With a spear in his hand and a long knife in his hand, he surged towards here like a tidal wave!
No one can see how many Liao horses there are. I can only see that they have completely covered the already faintly bright line in the sky into darkness. Layer by layer surging like a wall!
A little closer, the sound of horses' hooves could finally be heard, roaring like thunder, and it was impossible to tell the count. It's just a rumbling bang. Tens of thousands of defenders covering the entire ferry, as well as tens of thousands of people!
The mournful shouts of the first soldier rang out: "Enemy attack! Liao dog! β
More mournful shouts followed Ying He, and the sound of the golden drum on the watchtower was loud, and he desperately beat to warn. The soldiers who were resting in the camp were all alarmed, and jumped up from the tabernacle, or from the dens of the earth, or simply from the field. He picked up his sword and rushed forward. After all, the Huanqing army crossed the river to fight, and it was also prepared for encounters with the enemy. In the midst of the shock, the officers at all levels still gave orders in an orderly and loud manner, and led their men into position.
The military horses guarding the ferry are equipped with a lot of bows and crossbows, and there are also military weapons such as the divine arm bow. Relying on the topography of the riverbank, rows of mallets are small. Draw your bow and arrows, and prepare to meet the enemy.
Cao Lei had already reacted, and ordered loudly in his already hoarse voice: "Dispatch people and horses to watch the people, so that they must not mess with themselves, at this time, those who disturb the hearts of the army will be beheaded!" In addition, the counties were summoned to transport Sima, and the people they were dispatched to send arrows and crossbow arrows to the front of the army. Everyone is in their place. A certain person in the middle supervises the battle. Liao Dog can't come suddenly! Just hold on for half a day. And the army came back to help. We guarded so many bows, crossbows, arrows, and arrows, and shot all the Liao dogs. They suffered heavy casualties and "must retreat." Inform the generals that this general order. Whoever takes a step back, the whole team is killed! β
Cao Lei's personal soldiers behind him immediately responded to the promise and left loudly. And Cao Lei, surrounded by the remaining soldiers, strode towards the left side of the ferry. From above, take in the battlefield in full view. His personal guards have long played the banner of Cao Lei to calm the hearts of the army. More and more men and horses mobilized with Cao Lei's orders, ready to meet the sudden onslaught of the Liao! At this time, Cao Lei came to his senses. What wishful thinking is Taiwei Liu, where does this Xiao Gan have the slightest expression of losing his fighting spirit, he just retreats again and again, slowing down our military morale. He waited for this moment to strike suddenly!
However, Cao Lei is also very convinced that he will be able to hold this ferry and wait for the main force of the Huanqing Army to come back! , small one one one, one small one one one, one one one seven"
On the left side of the ferry, above the battlefield, this was originally an open area of a flat river. Liaoren Brigade Cavalry. It's just a dark hiding movement. As the sky brightened, the scale of the attacking Liao army was finally able to be roughly seen by the Song army.
The Liao people dispatched soldiers and horses, just in front of them, there were more than 10,000 horses! Not to mention that the follow-up soldiers and horses are still coming. The Liao cavalry army almost filled all the sights!
Song army crossbowmen, before the Liao cavalry arrived, the god arm crossbow, the big yellow bow, the foot bow, the riding bow "The Song army with all kinds of shooting weapons shot out in a row, and the layers were obliquely inserted on the ground. This is the maximum range of various firing weapons. The leading officers at all levels, holding a cold sweat in their palms, watched the Ting Army Brigade gradually get closer to the range of the sixth"β»
There are so many Liaogou cavalry, so many that it seems that every arrow sent out will not miss. And he raised the speed of the horse from a distance, and seemed not ready to turn around and go back to make the next impact. The officers and men on the battlefield all had a hint of premonition. But at this time, only the bow and arrow blade spoke. Looking at the cavalry at the forefront of the Liao people. Frantically swept over the outermost row of short crossbow arrows marked by the ground.
The general who led the soldier who operated the Divine Arm crossbow machine raised his hand. Ordered loudly. I heard a crackling sound in the air with a metallic trill. Countless short crossbow arrows burst out, rushing straight towards the brigade of the Liao people!
The divine arm bow is the weapon of the Great Song Dynasty. A masterpiece of medieval warfare that cannot be restored by future generations. All the nomads, all the nightmares of a powerful cavalry commander!
God Arm Crossbow Arrow Range, in this era. In order to make zuΓ², this super complex god arm bow is more convenient. It has been shortened from 350 steps at the beginning of the Song Dynasty to 240 steps now. But this is already an amazing long distance. If Xiao Yan was at the scene and saw the scene of the continuous shooting of the divine arm bow, he would definitely think that the Liao cavalry rushing on the opposite side was strafed by the Makqin machine gun!
I saw several rows of Liao cavalry in front of them, and they fell down almost at the same time. The centaurs rolled together. Under the accumulation of thousands of crossbow arrows, they almost swept away several rows of Liao troops in the forwards! However, the Liao soldiers and horses quickly made up for the vacant positions in front. Still straight ahead. Not a single person glanced at the robe that had fallen into the dust, and not a single person slowed down slightly. They are just speeding up and speeding up like crazy, as if these Liao people. There is no more tomorrow!
Hold the Divine Arm Bow Archer and hand it to the assistant.
The tread strings are on the machine again. The range of the Divine Arm Bow was too long, enough to fire seven or eight times before the Liao people rushed closer. According to the experience of the Song army, there is absolutely no cavalry army that can still insist on attacking after seven or eight rounds of such rounds. Not to mention that these Liao cavalry had to rush into the range of other bows and crossbows.
In the face of such a hedgehog-like bow and crossbow array, the cavalry has always carried a shield and pushed a ballista cart. Draw your opponent to fire an arrow from the left of the range. Until the opponent's bow body lì is almost consumed. Approaching or shooting on foot or riding and shooting for another period of human life, the brother frustrated the body and morale of the shooter in a round, and finally attacked it and defeated the opponent in one fell swoop. Often, a war is fought from dawn to dusk. And they only need to hold on to the bow and crossbow in their hands for half a day!
The generals of the Song army all watched the Liao people fall with satisfaction, and everyone was thinking about how many more casualties the Liao people would turn back in a panic.
The second round of divine arm crossbow arrows was fired, and the Liao people fell again. People shouted the sound of horses neighing. This distance is already able to rush to the face. But these Liao people still haven't retreated!
The extreme speed of the horse is mentioned, so that the high-flying horses of the Northland seem to be galloping in the air with four hooves. The Liao knights should not hide behind the horse's neck, do not shrink by the saddle, and try to reduce the area of receiving arrows. The Song army was surprised to find that there were many Liao generals who were carrying the flag on their backs. No one has the slightest intention of turning back!
But in the desperate situation of an empire, there are always people who are willing to die in it. And the Jurchens have nothing to say after defeating, and to the Song people, every Liao person is full of resentment. The two countries have been reconciled for more than 100 years, and there is no scene of beacon fire rising on the border. The monarchs of the two countries are about brothers. Although there are still some small movements between them, there has been no big fight since the fall of the abyss. It was this Song State that had been reconciled for a hundred years, and when the Liao people were in decline, they suddenly betrayed the alliance and sent troops and stabbed a knife in the back. Even if they die at the hands of the Jurchens, they can't make these Song people proud!
At this time, the Liao people, of course, forgot how they dug up the sixteen states of Yanyun from the territory of the Han people, and how Deguang went deep into Kaifeng. At that time, countless cities were slaughtered on the north road of the Later Jin River. Since the Song Dynasty, before the Yuanyuan, how did the Liao people support the Northern Han Dynasty to always fight against the Great Song Dynasty, and how they continued to unscrupulously fight the grass valley on the roads of Hebei, and later the whole country entered the country.
After the Yuan, the Liao people still did not settle down in the Hebei borderlands. Every time there was a little turmoil in the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao people would always come up with a little trick to extort benefits. In the past few decades, with the decline of Liao's government, the central government's ability to control has been weakened day by day. All localities supported troops and respected themselves, and the act of fighting grass valleys was revived on the Song-Liao border, and the people of the Great Song and Hebei roads were devastated. Otherwise, how could the army go on a northern expedition and recruit Hebei warriors in one voice, and the responders gathered?
Every family and country naturally has its own position. I can't force it. At this time, the Liao people were full of grief and indignation, and under the leadership of Xiao Gan, they borrowed one from the city and made a last stand!
If you win, the Great Liao may still be able to survive the remnants of the defeat, and if they are defeated, then they, the children of the Liao people's military horses, will become slaves of the Song people!
The Song army's bows and crossbows were still being fired, and the corpses of the Liao people and horses were falling in rows. But these Liao people still didn't care about the blood that had been smeared all over the north bank of the Gaoliang River, and regardless of how many casualties they had, they just crashed in!
Song Jun Yingran still insisted on firing, but from generals to soldiers, everyone had a look of horror on their faces. No one thought that the Liao people would be crazy to such a point in the battle after this episode!
The Song army's spearmen, sword and shield hands, and big axe men have already crossed the crowd and blocked in front of the crossbowmen. The crossbowmen fired as they retreated. There were hundreds of riders rolling down the dust. They couldn't struggle anymore, but they got closer with each cut. Although the Song army was still standing firmly in the queue, everyone began to wonder if they could hold this vital ferry before the army arrived, and there were still so many troops to lift it!
I don't know how long it took, the first cavalry Liao soldier had already crashed into the Song army's formation. The Liao knight roared wildly, waving the mace in his hand vigorously. The armorer's body, as well as his crotch mount, were all hung with arrow feathers, and they had been severely damaged. But he still mustered up the last trace of strength to kill in front of the Song army. Two long-handled battle axes cut off the front hooves of his mount, and the spears poked out and pierced deep into the centaurs, and the Liao knight fell with a bang. But behind him, more Liao knights rushed in and slammed into the Song army's formation! , small one one one one, little little one one, one one, little one one small one little one one
More than 20 miles upstream of the Gaoliang River, the pontoon bridge built by Zhao Liangsi and Guo Yaoshi is almost extending to the opposite bank.
The pontoon bridge is located at a bend in the river, and is sheltered by sparse woods on both sides, with undulating hills. It's not a terrain that's easy for a large army to get through, but the advantage is that it can cover the tracks.
The sergeants and soldiers of Chang Sheng are still working hard, and the bridge in the river is full of soldiers who are busy working. Zhao Liangsi and Guo Yaoshi did not have the cooperation of the people, so they could only do it themselves.
Both of them were immediately on the riverbank at this time. Watch as the sky slowly brightens. Listen to the thunderous sound of horses' hooves in the distance. The shouting of killing came from afar, and the sound was so loud. Until here, I can hear it clearly!
Every soldier working on the shore of the bridge kept looking downstream, looking at the smoke and dust rolling up in the sky.
Pharmacist Guo said in a low voice: "Xiao Gan is really desperate...... he
When the weak Fan Jing was the sharpest in mourning soldiers' blood and accumulation, and even slower than Captain Liu's military heart crossed the river, he did not harass it, until Huanqing Army felt safe and most relaxed, and then suddenly struck a blow. Up and down the Liao army. all have the heart of death, this Gaoliang River crossing of the Qing Army can't be saved"
Zhao Liangsi snorted: "If Liu Yanqing is more vigilant, the back road is unstable, and the army will never move forward, how can there be today's changes?" In the final analysis, it is still Liu Yanqing who is incompetent! He was slow to use the net for his own use, and wanted to swallow Fuyan's great work in one gulp, which made him dizzy. You deserve today's defeat! β
Pharmacist Guo smiled and did not answer Zhao Liangsi's words. He is a general, so he naturally understands that Liu Yanqing's execution is not wrong. The main force of the field battle crossed the river, of course, to unfold as far forward as possible. Could it be that they are still camped with their backs against the water, and the hedgehogs are gathered into a group, and they can't be used at all in battle? Liu Yanqing is sure that this ferry can be kept no matter what, and Xiao Gan's bet is that he can capture the ferry before Liu Yanqing comes to help. It can burn the pontoon bridge on the river, and it can burn the military resources that are vital to the Huanqing Army that crosses the river to the north. There is nothing wrong with the disposition of both sides, and the rest is nothing more than talking on the battlefield. Zhao Liangsi is just a habitual cautious attack, and anyone who is sorry for him is his enemy, not in his eyes...... But now it seems that Xiao Gan won the bet?
Smoke and dust in the distance rose higher and higher. Finally, the first cluster of fireworks began to rise, and there was no doubt that this was Xiao Gan's cavalry, which had broken through the Song army's military formation and arrived at the ferry to lift the hedgehog at the ferry. Began to disperse the people and set them on fire. Pharmacist Guo didn't speak, just looked at it with a calm face. Zhao Liangsi beside him, but he shouted loudly!
This sound made everyone look sideways, and Zhao Liangsi's fat face had a gloating expression. Pharmacist Guo shook his head slightly in his heart, this person is really a villain to the extreme, and he will repay him. In his heart, there is only profit and harm, and nothing else. Although I have to borrow him now, in the future, I have to find a way to get rid of him......
After Zhao Liangjing applauded, he suddenly turned to Guo Yaoshi: "That Wang Gui, and that Liao princess, have you been caught?" If you want to put Xiao Yan to death, without this living treasure, it won't work! β
The look on Pharmacist Guo's face was extremely respectful at the moment, and he replied in a low voice: "My son." They are all indigenous to Yandi. At this time, all the roads and trails to the north to find Xiao Yan have been blocked. As long as they dare to show their heads, they will definitely be caught. Please Zhao Xuanzan be relieved. β
Zhao Liangsi snorted: "Relieved and relieved, wait for Yanjing City, and then tie up Xiao Yan and send it to Xuan Shuai, then it will be truly relieved!" Guo Duguan, I tried my best to rescue you. Help to this position, and share the wealth with you, you must not lose Zhao! β
Pharmacist Guo's face was sincere: "Guo is eager to repay Zhao Xuanzan, where did Zhao Xuanzan come from!" If he can confess, Guo would rather die in front of Zhao Xuanzan! β
Zhao Liangsi barely squeezed out a smile, continued to look east, and didn't say anything more, where fireworks had risen in more than one place, and more fires were also rising, and in the dawn sky, clumps of black smoke came out. The Liao cavalry, who fought to the death, seemed to have broken through the array of the Song army. At this time, it is only about an hour before the war starts! The Liao people rushed to kill fiercely, and their will was resolute. You can see it!
Pharmacist Guo sighed softly: "The big thing is gone!" ", small one one, small one one small one small one small one one small one one small one small one
On the east side of the Huanqing Army. The other three armies of the Western Army. He had crossed the river for more than twenty or thirty miles, and had also set up camp. In the Chinese military camp after the old and small races joined forces, the two were on the watchtower. He also quietly watched the movement in the distance. From their place, they could no longer see the scene of the ferry in the distance, and they could only see the faint flames rising up.
But when you see the fireworks here, you know what kind of Cheng dΓΉ the ferry, which is vital to the Huanqing Army, has been destroyed by the Liao!
The old man turned his head slowly and asked softly: "Sentinel in the army, didn't you find that the Liao people intervened between the Huanqing Army and the Jingyuan Qin Feng Army?" β
The general who led the sentry scout behind looked ashamed and saluted: "Our cavalry is insufficient, and the sentry can't go too far at night, and it has been suppressed by the Liao people since they crossed the river, and they didn't find that the Liao brigade passed through at night."
Attack the Huanqing Army Ferry from both sides"
The old man shook his head slowly: "The last days of the Great Liao are double, and the big stone forest tooth net is fierce. The king of the four armies is mysterious and swift. Sure enough, they all live up to their reputations
The little seed beside him sighed, although his face was also extremely ugly, but he still spit out the depression in his chest: "Liu Yanqing has to leave a certain three armies aside, and go north to face Xiao Gan with the Huanqing army alone, and now he has also been taught!" Brother, when will we send reinforcements to help Liu Yanqing? Or let him lose a little worse? β
The old man shook his head slowly, and in an instant he suddenly straightened his back, his eyes were wide open, and his gaze was pressing. As if he was about to dispatch a large army, he personally led the army, rushed to the front of the battle, and went to aid Yingli Yanqing, and the Liao people, and Xiao Gan to share a life and death!
But in the next moment, the old man's eyes were dimmed, and his waist was also stiffened. After all, he is a representative of the interest group of the Western Army, what a thing. The survival of the Western Army group must be put first. You can no longer act on your own likes and dislikes. For the Western Army, this group, the expression of maximizing interests. It is none other than Liu Yanqing who was completely defeated, and let Tong Guan. Let the official family, so that the imperial court has to rely on the remaining three roads of the Western Army. Anyway, the Liao people are already in the middle of nowhere, but the Great Song Dynasty can still raise the Northern Expedition again. At that time, it will be the world where their western army will be left with three roads.
He is willing to come to his aid when Liu Yanqing is not yet defeated, and he has already done his best in the face of the tens of thousands of Shaanxi Zhulu disciples of the Huanqing Army!
"Let the Liao people sweep the back road of the Huanqing army, and then force Liu Yanqing for two days. A certain three armies approached the Huanqing Army and responded to him,"
The old seed ordered the little seed to raise his eyebrows: "Two days? Liu Yanqing's Huanqing army existed in the whole army. There are also some military materials that are lifted and transferred to the front of the army. The camp is complete, and the troops are not weak. How can it support more than ten days. Why not wait a few more days? When Xiao Gan's battalion was weakened, he attacked from behind and defeated Xiao Gan in one fell swoop. Isn't it a complete achievement! β
The old breed burst out violently: "Little breed, for the sake of the net worth status of the two old horses, how many children of Shaanxi Zhulu do you want to bury your bones in this Yanjing City!" Liu Yanqing is no longer the Liu Yanqing of the past, and he can't look down on him! This is a military order, and it must not be violated! β
The violent attack is already unbearable for the old and dying body at this time. After saying this, he coughed violently, and the guards behind him rushed up, wrapped his battle robe around the old man's thin torso, and helped him down the watchtower.
Xiao Chong stood on top of the watchtower, his face was blue and white: "Am I really wrong?" I'm also for the Western Army! β
In the end, Xiao Chong just stomped his feet fiercely: "Since the Northern Expedition, what kind of bird battle is this fighting!" β
11111, small one, small one small one, small "small one small one 111, small one small one, small one one small one small one one small one small one
The time when the back road was attacked was also transmitted to Liu Yanqing for the first time.
Rushed to the camp last night, and the craftsmen who accompanied the army immediately set up a luxurious tent for Liu Yanqing in the Chinese army camp. According to Liu Yanqing's weekday enjoyment. He has already been wronged by this kind of tabernacle.
Seeing Liu Yanqing coming like a cloud, he didn't bring the reward. Shi Shiran lived in the Chinese army, and slept all night in the nest and field last night, and the soldiers of Huanqing, who were half frozen to death, scolded all underneath.
At night, because of Liu Yanqing's arrival, all the camps were doubled on duty to ensure that everything was perfect. As soon as these military orders were handed down, everyone was in an uproar. At the time of the coming battle, the Song army had its own law, and the manpower on duty at night had been used very much. Who knew that this Captain Liu had not been so close to the enemy for a long time, and this time he had no choice but to rush to the front of the army. After staying in the Chinese army, I felt that it was for safety. It's better to add more to guard the manpower.
Huanqingjun has been gnawing dry food and sleeping in the field for the past two days. And set up camp on your own. The body is already quite consumed, and no matter how hard you work at night, you can't get two sleeps per person. Hour. Angry, some people have already said: "Captain Liu is like this, we swear not to fight!" β
Such a tide is surging in the army. High in the middle of the Chinese army, Liu Yanqing, who was surrounded by layers of guards, naturally did not know that the past two days were considered to be hard, and Liu Yanqing slept very well this night
Sweet.
In the middle of a good dream, Liu Yanqing was suddenly awakened by the noise outside the tent, opened his eyes and calmed down, and immediately became extremely angry. He is already an old man, and it is not easy to fall asleep, and it is even more difficult to get a good night's sleep. According to the current medical analysis. It may be that Liu Taiwei suffered a lot of losses when he was young, and he lost his qi and blood, and in recent years, he has been self-effacing with his voice, and he has also hollowed out his mind to intrigue with the old and small species, and he has some nervous breakdowns. Last night's restful sleep was a rare occurrence in several years. As a result, his subordinates were so blind. Woke him up!
Looking at the tent, the red candle is still feverish, but halfway down, the candle tears are not much more. The little personal soldier with clear eyebrows was also awakened. was jumping up in a hurry, and without Liu Yanqing's orders, he rushed to the outside of the inner tent and was angry: "The sky is just light, what's the noise?" The captain worked hard for a few days, and it was rare to sleep peacefully, and he woke up the captain, and he didn't want his head, did he? β
At this time, I heard an earth-shattering shout from the outer tent, it was Han Zun: "Tai Lieutenant, Tai Lieutenant!" The Gaoliang River ferry is on fire! Liao Army Brigade. It's plagiarizing us! β
All the voices outside the tent were transmitted into the richly furnished Liu Yanqing's inner tent in the army at this moment.
The soldiers in the Song military camp had their own strict military law, and when they saw the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves coming from the back road, there was a faint shout of killing like a muffled thunder rolling, and there were fireworks rising from the back road ferry.
The non-commissioned officers in the battalion shall not be in disorder. No noise, no running. Those who have the heart of the army will not be spared. Therefore, the tens of thousands of main forces of the Huanqing Army approaching Xiao Gan's camp just silently looked at the scene behind them, waiting for the commander to give the order to return as soon as possible.
The only one who can have its own noise, and they are talking about it. sighed, and even complained to each other, and it was like a duck pond outside Liu Yanqing's military tent. It is the generals and staff around Song Jun and Liu Yanqing.
Everyone is yelling.
"Mistakenly, wrongly! Xiao Gan is this guy, showing weakness and retreating to Yanjing City! This man is more stoic than Jerod Stone! We all misjudged him before! β
"Ten thousand horses are thundering, Xiao Gan is this guy, at least 20,000 horsemen, more than half of the military strength, and go straight to the key point of our ferry!"
"Cao is tired and heavy, and he has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, and he has twice as many bows and crossbows, so he should be able to defend it. Quickly send reinforcements back! β
"Can you hold it? How did it catch fire? From the south of the Gaoliang River to here, it is still a mess for this army to go north. and Jingyuan, Qin Feng, and Xihe armies fell out again. We celebrate the greed for merit, and now we are carrying it with an army! In my opinion, don't be another Baigou River! β
"Xiao Gan copied our back road, Yanjing must be empty, and the army now has a few days' food, so let's just go straight to Yanjing and take down the Liao people's fundamentals. See what else they can do! β
"Siege equipment, battle and defense equipment, millions of arrows, and even a thousand infantry armor are all in the back. What to take to fight Yanjing Jiancheng? The Liao people pounced with the heart of death, although fierce, but the day was not safe. As long as we can withstand the Liao people's blow and stabilize the situation, the Liao people will no longer be able to repel our Huanqing army, and then we can follow the steps and attack Yanjing! β
"What else are you talking about, hurry up and prepare to go back to Cao Ti!"
The staff of the military generals gathered outside looked at the south, and they were all in a hurry, saying everything. Then I heard a broken shout: "What are you shouting!" No matter how much trouble there is a certain army, they will be dragged down and marched to military law! β
Everyone turned their heads one after another, and saw Liu Yanqing and Liu Taiwei wearing a mid-single, wearing a battle robe and coming out. Everyone is in the face of the enemy, and they can fight without removing their armor and turning over. This Taiwei Liu is idle.
However, Liu Yanqing's face was also blue and white at this time, and he looked at the south angrily. However, compared to everyone's panic, Liu Yanqing's expression was much calmer. Many of his generals secretly admired: "Although this Lao Tzu is much more ridiculous now. But after all, it is a veteran who has accumulated years, and every major event is coming. In order to see this calmness! β
Liu Yanqing retracted his gaze and glanced in front of the gathering tent. The generals and staff under his command, who were already a little flustered, but held back in front of him: "If it weren't for Xiao Yan's disobedience, he led the army north and took so many cavalry with him. How could a certain army sentry not be released, and as a result, the Liao people sneaked at night. Plagiarize my back road? The Jingyuan Army, Qin Fengjun, and the Xihe Army did not respond effectively, and a certain one also had to correct a few ministers! β
No one expected that when Liu Yanqing opened his mouth, it was not to arrange how to help those vital weights in the back, but to be responsible for the attack on the back road first. All of them overthrew Xiao Yan and Yao Gu, the old and small species!
Everyone understands that the Huanqing Army went north alone. Leave everyone else away, and be afraid that the other party will get closer. It was all arranged by Liu Yanqing, just for fear that other armies would share their merits.
But at this moment, it was as if everyone had abandoned him Taiwei Liu! People say that Taiwei Liu now has five points of mind to enjoy Gao Le, four points of mind to deal with his colleagues, and only one point of mind to the battle array, this evaluation, sure enough, has not wronged Mrs. Liu at all!
Fortunately, immediately after that, Liu Yanqing showed the demeanor of the veteran who still existed on his body, and pointed to the north: "Xiao Gan, a poor rat devouring a cat, breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat to come to such a hand, you are panicking like this, it seems that under the command of a certain family, you are really indulged so much that you are too comfortable, and you have forgotten what the things on the battle array look like!" A certain Huanqing army has tens of thousands, the camp is solid, and the number of Jingyuan troops, Qin Fengjun, and Xihe army are not far away, and the morning and evening are coming. Xiao Gan is only more than 40,000 embers, even if he is ruined, as long as he does not move for a certain time, what is there to fear? Da Song can also gather heavy lifting materials and transport them a hundred times! And how long can Xiao Gan hold on? What a little family! β
He scolded these generals and staff members in a big way, but Han Zun was so anxious that he was angry. Before he rushed to Liu Yanqing's military tent, he had already used the banner and the cavalry to summon the most elite Bachuan in the headquarters. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Fourth Army, as long as they are assembled and prepared, they can go south to do six formations under the order, and they may be able to return to the ferry in half a day, and Cao Lei may be able to support it until that time. Liu Yanqing is here to put on the appearance of this captain!
Liu Yanqing also knew that the military affairs were urgent, so he looked south again, and the fire was rising there. It was no longer a cluster, but a dozen clouds of smoke rising into the air. It seems that the situation has reached a certain point of embarrassment, and Liu Yanqing can't figure it out, Cao is tired enough to restrain tens of thousands of Huanqing soldiers and soldiers, covering this important back road, why has he been impulsed in such a short period of time?
He couldn't care about putting on that handsome attitude anymore, and waved his hand angrily: "Han Zun, Han Zun!" You control the troops and horses of your department, return to the reinforcements quickly, keep the ferry, and protect the position of your envoy. Take Yanjing. Maybe you can go one step further and have a temperate title! β
Han Zun shouted the order, and stepped out impatiently. This Chinese military camp is actually his. His personal guards immediately rushed to the watchtower in the middle of the camp with the huge banner of the deployment of the former army. Here the banner is about to be issued, and several camps are now gathering and waiting for the army to leave the camp and go south to support the back road of the ferry!
At this time, the watchtowers at the front of this series of large military camps were already waving flags, agitating golden drums and horns, and transmitting messages to the rear.
These orders were faithfully passed backwards by the Song soldiers who were on guard duty on the watchtower. The large and small camps of the Song army, which stretched for nearly ten miles, all passed on the same military information at this time.
The Liao army in front has moved, the far block is the first, the brigade is in the rear, the infantry and cavalry are mixed, and there are more heavy siege equipment, the banner is large, and the sky is full of smoke and dust. Coming to the camp of the Huanqing Army!
Xiao Gan also launched the whole army at this time, and while investing a large part of his own strength to copy the back road of the Huanqing Army, the rest also swept out, and took the initiative to enter the camp of the Huanqing Army, as if he wanted to crush all the Huanqing Army under Yanjing City at one time! One small one small one one, one one one, one, one, one small. One, one, one, one, one
Before Han Zun's troop transfer flag was issued, the Chinese army was frantically passing on the military situation downward. Everyone was shocked by Xiao Gan's thunderous actions in this hurry, and they were on the spot for a while. Is this still the Liao Fourth Army King Xiao who retreated step by step and became the laughing stock of everyone in the Song army?
Han Zun reacted immediately and strode towards the watchtower. Liu Yanqing also reacted, and scolded the guards behind him: "What are you waiting for?" Help the old man to go up the watchtower! β
More than a dozen guards suddenly rushed up, supporting Liu Yanqing with all hands and feet, and some people hurriedly went back with a thick cloak to follow, and the wind above the tower was strong, and the old lady couldn't stand it.
A group of people came to the watchtower, Liu Yanqing's generals also rushed over, the watchtower was narrow, there was no space for them to watch the array, they could only gather at the bottom and continue to talk, more lively than just now. At this time, Liu Yanqing was no longer in the mood to scold them, and more than a dozen guards pulled forward and pushed back, and put the fat Taiwei Liu on the high platform of the watchtower.
On the high platform, Han Zun had already pressed the railing of the watchtower to look at the military formation opposite. Liu Yanqing didn't answer, just stood beside him. The guards behind him put on a cloak, but Liu Yanqing pushed it away.
In the line of sight, Yanjing City stood majestically not far away, only more than ten miles away from the Song military camp. A hundred years ago, the Chinese army of Song Taizong's army also approached this position, and a hundred years later, the camp situation of the army is still about the same. At that time, Zhao Guangyi should have been in the same position, watching the 300,000 soldiers of the Northern Expedition surround this Yanjing City four times. Day and night attack. The scene was even more thrilling than it is today!
A hundred years later, although the time is sooner and later. At that time, the Great Liao Empire, the largest power in East Asia, was already dying. But compared with the siege of Yanjing by the Song army a hundred years ago, the Liao people's table was more fierce, and they no longer waited for reinforcements and no reinforcements to wait. Instead, they took the initiative to attack the Northern Expedition division of the Song Army, which was forcing them to their last heartland!
In the line of sight, the far barricade of the Liao brigade pulled out a long and sparse front, roaring towards the Song army's stretching camp. When he was close to the obstacle in front of the Song army's camp, he stopped his horse and galloped left and right in front of the Song army. After Xiao Yan took away the main force of the Song army's light cavalry and heavy cavalry, on the battlefield, the Song army no longer had these sentinel light cavalry that could be fought against by distant blockers. Although Xiao Yan asked Liu Yanqing to wait for him to come back, he would return quickly, but how could Liu Yanqing listen!
These remote blockers firmly control the battlefield, and they can also harass and block the Song army from leaving the camp to counterattack the brigade at the first time, and cover the development of their follow-up army. However, this time, the Song army did not go out of the camp to meet the men. It's hard to get on the road. The camping equipment is incomplete, the morale is not high, and now there is a sudden change in the back road, the first reaction of the Song army is to guard the camp, not to come out to meet these Liao troops!
Only in the forefront of the camp are scattered with feathered arrows. These Liao people were far away, they all hid outside the range of the Song army, and they didn't bother to take care of the Song army's harassment and shooting, and they showed off their might and blocked the battlefield. Under the cover of these distant barricades, the Liao army's black and suppressed brigade slowly drove from north to south.
In the center is a large group of infantry troops, forming a phalanx array. The flag fluttered in front of the formation, covering the sky and the sun. The Liao people are still black, these flags are mostly black, so many flags are fluttering, it seems that the sky that has just lit up has dimmed in an instant!
Between these infantry arrays, there are auxiliary soldiers of the people, driving horses and cattle, driving arrow towers higher than the opponent's camp, heavy pick-up vehicles, and stone cannons. The car that filled in the cave house, the crash that smashed the wall, and all kinds of offensive equipment were mixed in these phalanxes, slowly squirming forward.
To the left and right of this brigade of infantry were cavalrymen on two wings, with thousands of horsemen on each side, marching in large groups. The array is not very neat. But these large-scale cavalry groups with almost 10,000 horsemen are even smaller than the phalanx composed of tens of thousands of infantry troops in terms of momentum!
In the left wing cavalry group, the flag of the king of Xiao Gan's four armies was flying high. The Liao people are close to the children of the noble clan, dressed in brocade robes, and are surrounded by Xiao Gan. These children of the noble clans of the Liao people and the Xi people all put their ancestral clothes and armor on their bodies, and the ancestral blades are in their hands. The glory of the Liao people for more than 200 years seems to have gathered together at this moment, showing the last light. Under Yanjing City. Usher in their final battle!
Xiao Gan's department, except for the soldiers and horses that attacked the rear road of the Huanqing army, had almost swept out. In Yanjing City, the strong are lucky. As an auxiliary to support the army in battle. From the very beginning, he put on a posture of taking the initiative to fight against the Huanqing Army. In Yanjing City, at this time, it is no longer defended! And the Song army is in addition to the Huanqing army. There are also the three armies of Jingyuan, Qin Fengxi, and the victorious army of Guo Yaoshi, and even Xiao Yan's whole army who is sickly coming from the north to the south!
Xiao Gan's posture of boarding and sinking the boat, coupled with more and more fireworks rising behind him, on the watchtower, Liu Yanqing's commanding temperament that he had been holding on to finally couldn't be maintained anymore, holding the railing of the watchtower tightly, his face was blue and white!
