In this case, there is only one effect: 60-year-old Yeluchun is furious! The Song Dynasty sent a total of 2 envoys, and a pair were killed by Yeluchun...

At this time, Tong Guan could be considered to have completed the implementation of Zhao Ji's first two policies. In May, with an army of more than 150,000 people, the Northern Expedition was officially launched!

The whole army was divided into two routes: the East Road Military Division, which launched an offensive from Baigou; Xin Xingzong of the Western Route Army, attacked from Fan Village. The Eastern Route Army is the main force in terms of strength and goals! So the initial focus of the war was on the Baigou River! This is the boundary river between Song and Liao, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Tracing back to the source, Jing Ke assassinated Qin back then, and asked Prince Yan Dan to enter Qin with Fan Yu's head and the map of Du Kang as a gift, and the map drawn by that map was the Baigou area!

This time, Tong Guan's Northern Expedition should have attacked suddenly, crossing the national border in an instant, but he still met the Liao army here in Baigou!

Despite the mood, but when the war really started, the seed master was still very serious. He sent Yang Keshi, the ace general in his hand and the former army commander known as the enemy of 10,000 people, to seize the position - the bridge of the Baigou Boundary River! This is the top priority, now the Song and Liao armies can watch across the river, as the attacker, this bridge is very important, if it is destroyed by the Liao army first, it is a joke to build a bridge that can carry nearly 100,000 troops!

Yang Keshi acted quickly, he rushed out with thousands of light cavalry, although it was an away battle, he rushed all the way, and actually rushed directly to the north bank of the bridge. This is tantamount to leaving the Baigou River behind and entering the border of the Liao State? At this time, he was in a good mood and took out the special weapon of the Song Dynasty from his arms-persuasion list. The above officials made a wish, as long as the Northern Liao Army was willing to surrender, the official position and treatment? Good to discuss!

At this moment, the top officialdom of the Song Dynasty is still dreaming. It's no wonder how do they know who the person opposite them is at this time? The marshal of the Northern Liao Army on the opposite side is called Yelu Dashi! The last champion of the Great Liao, the 8th grandson of the founding emperor Taizu, is both civil and military, just like fate. did not become an official by the side of Emperor Tianzuo, but stayed in Northern Liao. From this moment on, he stepped onto the stage of history!

The persuasion list sent by Yang Keshi was torn to pieces by him and thrown to the ground, and his next action surprised Yang Keshi, he did not order the Liao army to attack, but sent a large force of cavalry to rush to the lower reaches of the Baigou River. What does this mean? Yang Keshi instantly understood that the reason why he was able to rush all the way across the Baigou Bridge was not because he was fast, but because Yelu Dashi didn't rob him at all!

There must be shoals downstream! The cavalry of the Liao State wanted to wade across the river and copy the back road of the Song army!

Be aware of that. Yang Keshi immediately divided his troops to follow the Liao army, staring at it across the river, where the Liao army crossed the river, it would be fortified! It just so happened that at this time, the seed master Dao sent a backup force, and the leader was the veteran Zhao De. Yang Keshi asked him to send reinforcements to the lower reaches of the river, and he himself still occupied the Baihe boundary bridge... No matter how you analyze it, this was the best solution at the time. not only guarded the vested interests, but also prevented the Liao army from plotting, and the rest is to speak with strength. The two armies hedged. Yang Keshi is very eager!

He is ten thousand enemies, this is not empty words, he killed with one knife and one shot on the battlefield in the northwest!

Yang Keshi counted the beginning, but not the end; He got himself right. didn't figure out Zhao De. Zhao De is an old Western Army, it stands to reason that when he gets mixed into this position, any Western Army general is rolled out of the sea of corpses and blood, even if he can't win often. At least not a coward? But there are surprises!

There are only a very small number of warriors, who are never timid and uncompromising, and more often brave and cowardly. It depends on what enemies you encounter that day! Zhao De is like this, he chased along the river bank to the lower reaches of Lu, and the speed was very fast, but unfortunately he came with reinforcements, and the start was slower than Yelu Dashi. When he arrived, the vanguard of the Liao army had crossed the river from the shallows. Based on experience, he immediately concluded that the ferocity of these Liao cavalry exceeded his bravery value!

These Khitans are here to fight hard! They have been founded for more than 200 years, and they have never been so embarrassed as now, Wujing has lost 4, and only Youyan is left in the huge empire, and it was forced to the door by the Song Dynasty! At this time, the Khitan people can use the words of Yelu Dashi when he tore up the list just now to describe "there is no more to say, there is just death"

The founding emperor of Western Liao in the future is desperate, and the soldiers under him are not desperate? They just want to die with this gang of Song Dynasty people who took advantage of the fire to rob and pick up ready-made bargains!

Zhao De turned around and ran! Throwing Yang Keshi and thousands of Song army light cavalry north of Baigou Bridge on the other side of the Jiehe River is tantamount to artificially turning Yang Keshi's troops, who had rushed forward quickly, into a lone army. As long as the Liao army that crossed the river from the shoals came back again, they all fell into the encirclement!

In the crisis, Yang Keshi was furious, he scolded Zhao De, "Old horseman, why don't you run away in a battle, what to repay the country's kindness" scolded and scolded, Zhao old horseman ran like a rabbit, and it was impossible to come back to help him because of blushing...

Yelu Dashi commanded the army to quickly close the encirclement and eat the vanguard of the Song army. This is the first battle of his military career, which is a very good start to be honest, and theoretically he will win a big victory? It's a pity that he met the unreasonable Yang Keshi! There is a kind of person in this world who can't be crushed to death by relying on a large number of people, and there is no precedent in the history of Khitan warfare...

In the fifth dynasty, with the combat power of Yelu Abaoji, the founding emperor of the Great Liao, he led 300,000 iron cavalry to surround more than 1,000 cavalry, including Li Cunmiao, the emperor of Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, and the result was that Li Cunmiao broke out of the encirclement, converged with 100,000 foot soldiers, and chased Yelu Abaoji for more than 100 miles! Later Tang Zhuang Zongshan is calculated based on martial arts value alone, and is definitely recognized as the first strongman of the five generations! Of course, Yang Keshi did not defy the sky to the extent of Li Cunxuan, but he was still not something that the last Liao army could encircle!

Yang Keshi led the army to break through, and just started, he encountered the greatest danger. Yelu Dashi is the champion, he is too smart, he doesn't give the Song army a chance at all, he gathers the archers in the army, guards the southern end, and shoots intensively at the Song army! hit Yang Keshi very accurately, Yang Keshi's blood flowed down instantly, and the flow was so large that it quickly filled his combat boots. What he is in is not an ordinary arrow, it is a special iron thistle arrow made by the Liao State. Such trauma is enough to make people lose their combat power. But Yang Keshi became more and more brave, he let the Liao people know what is called "ten thousand enemies" He was furious, broke into the enemy formation, killed more than 100 enemy horsemen, and led the men and horses to break out of the encirclement and return to the camp!

It's really brave, enough to make Yelu Dashi and the Northern Liao Army stunned! Looking back on the battle situation, it was the Song army that was defeated anyway. Even if he didn't lose many soldiers and didn't lose his position, he still lost the first round! And Yang Keshi was seriously injured.

The division is unfavorable, the commander of the Eastern Army is very happy, and he is unwilling to fight this battle, so this happened. It's even more lazy and lazy. That night, Yelu Dashi attacked at night, he had superior forces, but he did not attack, but ordered the golden drums of all battalions of the whole army to sound in unison, and the Liao people did not know the truth and had to retreat. The next day, Yelu Dashi came to challenge again, this time the light was good, and he actually wanted to rush in and kick the camp? This appetite is so big that it annoys the Seed Master, and it's just a small contact with the former army. Do you have an advantage, and you are so rampant? He ordered the whole army to prepare a large wooden stick, open the gate of the camp, and let the big stone of Yelu in!

As a result, the Khitans ran back with a big bag, and there was no way to prove that the head of the champion of Yelu Dashi was also red and swollen? With this lesson, there was a brief silence on the battlefield on the Eastern Front. Both the Seed Master Dao and Yelu Dashi have set their sights on the West...

In Fan Village, Xin Xingzong, the chief general of the Song Army's Western Route Army, encountered a large number of international coalition forces here. He looked left and right, with many years of experience in foreign wars. Recognize that there are 4 races of enemies on the opposite side, namely Khitan, Han, Bohai, and Xi. This made him feel very good, the Liao State had fallen to this step, and the elite of the whole country had been lost. Can't even take out the army of the pure clan? Xin Xingzong walked into the battlefield with such an opinion, and he was destined to be hit on the head and bled out. The Northern Liao Army that Fan Village was waiting for him was indeed a miscellaneous army, but it depended on who was in his hands!

The coach's name is Xiao Gan, his family's ancestral miscellaneous skills. It can be said that he is the hereditary motley army leader of the Great Liao Kingdom! Xiao Gan, a hereditary Xi king, specializes in ethnic minority work, and he is the 6th generation in his generation. On how to integrate different peoples. Crafted into concentrated combat power, he is the best candidate in the Northern Liao Kingdom today!

At the beginning of the battle, the discipline of the Song army was perfectly demonstrated. Starting from Zhao Guangyi to Zhao Ji, a total of 7 emperors, each generation of emperors required the generals of the Song Dynasty to listen to commands, observe discipline, and fight according to the pre-arranged formation. As a result, every battle is a model play, and from beginning to end, it is like an assembly line...

Like the Eastern Route Army, the Western Route Army also sent the front army to challenge first. The decisive battle of the whole country, how can you test it, and know the truth of the other party?

As a result, they were also surrounded by heavy sieges. The reason is very simple, they rely on the strength of the crowd to take advantage, and the psychology is very relaxed. The Liao army is desperate, especially with few people. So is there any other way than to rush to the top?

So it's time for Song Jiang to show heroism again! Falling into the encirclement and fighting out of the encirclement is really a singable feat! It's just that there are too few "10,000 enemies", and there is a temporary shortage of goods in the West Route Army, and they were entangled by Xiao Gan all the way to the big camp, and they were about to rush away from the West Route Army camp!

At the critical moment, Xin Xingzong stood up, and the coach personally went into battle, and the above generals supervised the battle, only to block Xiao Gan back! Post-war inventory: his battalion was not lost, and he was still able to stand on the front line. But Wang Yuan, the former commander of the army, and Yang Keshi, the former commander of the Eastern Route Army, were exactly the same, and they also took a break, this person was covered in blood, and he was almost helped back to the camp...

The most important thing is that morale has plummeted. The Song army was collectively stunned, didn't it mean that the Liao State would be destroyed immediately? Are all the troops dead? They were all scared to death, did they just die in the hands of the Song people or the Jin people? How can it be so barbaric?

But the most confused is Tong Guan! He sat in the rear, waiting for one casualty report after another, which was too far from expected! He wanted to jump to his feet and curse more than anyone else, and he wanted to roar at the sky - is this still the most elite Western army in the Great Song Dynasty? Is it still an invincible Western army that has broken cities and destroyed countries? There has been no war in the Song and Liao dynasties for a hundred years, and the strength of the two countries on the border is basically equal, so the Hebei region of the Song Dynasty is already a military vacuum. At that time, Tong Guan couldn't think of these questions clearly, not only him, but only by fully grasping the historical process data of the Song, Liao, and Jin countries at the same time, could he analyze them clearly and give answers!

1. What is the Liao army getting stronger? This is because of the stimulation of the gold country! A hundred years of tranquility have raised the Khitans to be as fat and white as the Song people, and they don't know what to say, but they are on the verge of extinction in a few years, what kind of pressure is this? Even if it is a passive response, it will upgrade the combat power in a few years, not to mention the formation of a fanaticism of national resistance!

2 For what is the weakening of the Western Army? God is above, check the war history of the Western Army in recent years, and the answer will come out by itself! Not counting the era of Shenzong and Zhezong, from the beginning of Zhao Ji's accession to the throne, the Western Army first recovered Hehuang, and then started a war with Western Xia, and fought continuously for 8 years, during which the main force was also dispatched to the south twice, once to sweep away the leakage, once to pacify Fangla, and then non-stop march to Yanyun, such a dense combat mission, even the whole modern mechanized troops can not bear it, right? Not to mention the 11th-century cold-armed army, which was dominated by infantry! What's more, in addition to the mutual victory and defeat in the battle of Song and Xia, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty maintained a 100% victory rate, and it was always fought neatly within the specified time!

So now Tong Guan doesn't have to ask Cang Tian speechlessly, he should ask himself: Why do you want to be so harsh on the Western Army? Even if the authorities of the Song Dynasty always send tasks to the Western Army, even if the Western Army is indeed the only decisive force in the Song Dynasty, it has to be sent wherever something happens, but Tong Guan, as a direct leader, does he have to fight for his subordinates to take some breathing time? Now that the Western Army has finally been squeezed out and squeezed out, the evil consequences are from top to bottom, no one can be an exception, they all have to swallow it!

This moment came very quickly, calculating the time, on the 26th, Yang Keshi was defeated in Baigou. On the 30th, Xin Xingzong lost at Fan Village. On June 1, Tong Guan suddenly received a piece of information that made his heart tremble: tens of thousands of Liao troops in the direction of Youzhou were rapidly moving towards the border... Northern Liao has increased its troops!

When Tong Guan was afraid, the world changed. After he was afraid, his life, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, the success or failure of the Northern Expedition, and even the national fortunes of the Song Dynasty suddenly turned around and twisted in a direction that no one could have imagined!

Speaking of Tong Guan, he is Li Xian's apprentice and a general among the eunuchs, and he has always given people the impression that he is tough, even if he is hated in some places, but it is reassuring to hand over the army to him. He did a good job before, no matter who he hit internally and externally, he didn't let the Song Dynasty suffer. But at this time, he only heard the news of the other party's increase in troops, but he was immediately frightened!

The formula that flashed in his mind couldn't be simpler, on the border line, the Liao army won more with less, and he no longer had any hole cards in his hand. Now that the other party has increased his troops, what else can he do? Ask Kaifeng for help and let Zhao Ji also give him more troops? The elite soldiers of the whole country are in his hands, and there are no soldiers to send at all!

So what are you waiting for? Retreat now! He ordered the front army to quickly retreat in the direction of Xiongzhou in the rear! Be quick, and never make contact with the opposing reinforcements! (To be continued......)
