Chapter 434: God's Twilight (3)

Jing Si was killed, and actually fled back to Dingzhou City safely, and Yelu Xiuge was furious.

Xiao Yanyan gave him a Song king, which was an honor, but it also became a burden for Yelu Xiuge. In fact, at this time, he can withdraw and continue to use the cunning tactics of the past, surround them one by one, send reinforcements one by one, and kill them halfway if they are rescued by Dingzhou. If you don't save it, let's treat it as a lonely city in Zhuozhou last year. But the title of King of Song on his head forced him to fight.

Yelu Hugo will not be stupid to storm the city, it is not a small earthen hoard at the mouth of the Great Wall, this is the really tall city wall of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, he asked his subordinates to curse under the city wall, humiliating them in every way, and forced the Song army to go out of the city for field battles.

At this time, he regarded himself as a god, as the king of Song.

But I don't know the reason why Lu Daosheng also won, Gao Lianghe's opponent is just a Song Dynasty emperor who doesn't actually understand anything.

Qigou Guan Shengnai is a Cao Bin who is also very poor in military ability, and there is a group of scattered Song generals of the Song army.

Junzi Pavilion defeated Liu Tingrang, who also lacked military ability.

However, this time it was different, he didn't even know that Guo Shouwen heard Yelu Xiuge pounce on the Tang River in front of him, and he led thousands of soldiers and Fan Tingzhao to rush to help, and he didn't know that there were a thousand heavily armored Jingsai troops in Dingzhou City.

In the abuse of the Liao army, the city was well arranged.

First showed Tian Min's heavy armored cavalry, and after tearing apart the Liao army formation, Li Jilong and Pei Ji led the middle army and the rear army to kill and expand the offensive respectively, Guo Shouwen and Fan Yanzhao led the Zhenzhou soldiers and Jing Si with an army, attacking the Liao army from the left and right flanks respectively.

Jerushuge didn't have to wait long.

The soldiers and horses in the city of Dingzhou were assembled, and Li Jilong rode his horse to the front of the three armies. He shouted, "Soldiers, have you heard the insults and insults outside the city? Will you be willing to endure it? Can you watch them burn and loot our fathers and fellow villagers everywhere? There are also the soldiers of the Jingsai Army. Your parents, wives and children have been taken captive by the Liao people on the other side, don't you want to revenge the sword? Save them? Go forward and use our blood to cast the glory of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Li Jilong repeatedly teased, and at this time, all the three armies were full of breath, just like a fire, then go and burn, either burn the enemy or burn yourself!

The gates opened, but Jerush's eyes were open.

The Song Dynasty blockaded the north and did a good job of secrecy. Yelu Hugo didn't even know about the establishment of the thousand-heavy armored cavalry of Lu Dao.

Yuan Jizhong and Tian Min led a thousand Jing Sai troops to kill first.

The three armies, from men to horses, were all dressed in thick armor, and the armor pieces shone brightly in the faint snow light.

This is the real heavy cavalry, but the fake heavy cavalry of the Tielin Army.

But the Liao State may face this heavy riding in the future, it will be unrelenting, this is not a problem of iron production, nor is it a problem of steel quality, but a problem of horses, only the tall Hetao horse can afford this set of heavy vests. and horseback heavy cavalry.

In a short period of time, Jeruxiu felt that a crisis was coming, even though they only had a thousand men, compared to 80,000 elite Liao cavalry. It's pitifully small in number.

He immediately gave one order after another.

However, at this time, the advantages of the Hetao horse's explosive power were displayed.

In the blink of an eye, the Jing Sai Army rushed in front of them, and a big star rose from there.

It's not Yuan Jizhong. Yuan Jizhong is also good, and he has always been at the forefront. But after rushing to the Liao army, Tian Min quickly overtook him.

Arrows flew out from the Liao army. It rained like rain on the heads of a thousand Jingsai troops, on horses. But to Jeruxiugo's great disappointment......

At the beginning, at the suggestion of Li Jilong, the Song Dynasty established the Jingsai Army, which was repeatedly defeated, which made Song Jiu and Zhao Kuangyi ruthless, and the two supervised the creation of the armor and weapons of the Jingsai Army from time to time. The entire vest and armor weigh nearly two hundred catties, and the mass is not reduced for the sake of increasing weight, and the requirements are the same as those of the steel of the infantry armor, or even exceeded. Including weapons, what kind of weapons are suitable, such as the Mongolian saber, which is curved and arc-shaped, although it is more in line with the original mechanical quantity, but it is light and thin, and can only be used on light horses, not suitable for this heavy armor.

So after thinking about it, and after being trained by the front-line soldiers, he finally created a new weapon, the Jingsai Knife!

The length reaches more than one meter, which is far less than the Mo knife, which is already an eternal legend.

The length is long enough, the lethality is large enough, but this weight will be cumbersome, so increase the thickness of its knife arm, increase the slashing power, and reduce its width and thickness, the front is slightly curved, so as to break the air, the front seems to be a Mongolian scimitar, but the back is like a combination of the Song Dynasty Pu knife and the Western Xia heavy sword, and the Tibetan straight sword.

The material of the static plug knife is even more refined.

The cost of a set of equipment for the Jingsai Army alone reached nearly 300 yuan, and if it weren't for Song Jiu and Zhao Kuangyi often coming to supervise, the craftsmen and officials were corrupt, and the cost might have been even higher.

Coupled with the fierceness of the people of Yizhou, a thousand monsters appeared on the front line.

The dense arrows fell like raindrops, but for a thousand Jing Sai troops, it was like a layer of misty spring rain, the arrows hit them, but they left only one small white dot after another, and then fell to the ground.

There is a way to break it, ask thousands of super marksmen to use them to shoot the eyes of the Silent Cypriots in high-speed movement only exposed to the outside. Such a marksman...... How many can there be in Liao?

Or learn from the Song soldiers, roll on the ground, and cut the horse's hooves that are a little exposed in the outside of the Sai army.

Otherwise, that's what happens below......

Yuan Jizhong raised the knife in his hand, but before his knife fell, a tall figure passed by his side, the knife had fallen, blood burst out, and the head flew.

Hundreds of people slashed Tian Min and rushed up.

In the blink of an eye, the thick Liao army formation allowed the thousand-headed monster to break through. Although Jeruxiugo felt his scalp tingle, he was still commanding.

Immediately ordered that the Leather Room Army and Tie Linzi be outflanked from both sides and flank the thousand-headed monster.

In the face of these two notorious Liao troops, no one was afraid, and continued to charge through the waves, breaking a wave of blood.

Keep rushing!

The Liao army was torn to pieces by Yuan Jizhong and Tian Chongjin, and then left dead bodies in one place.

The majestic trumpet sounded.

Guo Shouwen, Fan Tingzhao, and Jing Si were killed from the city respectively. Pounced on the left and right flanks of the Liao army.

The cavalry was in front, and behind were the infantry. Horses are running, people are running. Bows and arrows were flying, and although one comrade after another fell, it could not stop the rapid advance of the two armies.

The vast battlefield, a few miles of trotting, but just a moment, the two armies pounced on the left and right flanks of the Liao army, and the Pu knife in their hands frantically slashed at the Liao army. Some crossbowmen even threw away the crossbow in their hands, picked up the big knife dropped by the Liao army, and killed it in the back.

In a blink of an eye. Tens of thousands of Liao troops messed up a pot of porridge.

The trumpet of the city continued to sound.

Li Jilong killed.

Thousands of Chinese troops walked in the footsteps of a thousand Jingsai troops, harvesting the Liao army that had been cut into chaos.

The Liao army was even more confused.

Pei Ji also led the rear army to kill him, carefully harvesting the panicked scattered troops left by Li Jilong.

Jeruhugo continued to command, though sweat was streaming down his forehead.

Tian Min raised his head, stared at the big flag, and suddenly said, "Follow me." ”

Rush towards Jerushuge.

"Block them." Jeruxiu said hurriedly.

However, how to block it, a thousand Jing Cypriot troops are like a huge chainsaw, swaying from side to side, every swing. Flesh and blood flying. Li Jilong escorted them to the back and let them expand the results of the battle.

Seeing that the banner was in front of him, the scene of the Gaoliang River happened, but the situation was reversed. It was not the chief general of the Song army who fled, but the chief general of the Liao State, Yelu Xiuge, the god of war of the Liao State.

Jerushuge fled. The Liao army suddenly collapsed completely.

Run, I'm a cavalryman anyway. It seems that the 1,000-headed monsters are too heavily equipped and can't run fast. Save your life.

Tens of thousands of Liao troops were defeated like a mountain, and fled to the Tang River, escaped Wangdu, Beiping Village, and even the north was Mancheng, but in the Song army's desperate pursuit, they could not enter Mancheng, and continued to flee to the Cao River.

In this chase that lasted more than 100 miles, countless Liao troops were continued to be killed, until the big knives in the hands of many soldiers were cut and wounded, including Tian Min's Jingsai knife, and Li Jilong ordered to stop the attack.

In this battle, nearly 20,000 people were beheaded.

Unlike the Song army, once the Song army was destroyed, because it was impossible to escape, the reported figures were more accurate, and the Liao State was a cavalry and could run, as long as it was not falsely reported, the generally reported numbers were much less than the actual Liao soldiers killed. In other words, Li Jilong actually killed more than one and a half times the number of Liao troops in this battle.

And unlike last year, although the number of Liao soldiers killed last year was more, the statistics were more accurate than this time, and the quality was far inferior.

Yelu Hugo was just like Zhao Kuangyi back then, although he fled back, but in order to cover his escape, countless guards were killed, and he was lucky enough to escape back to Yizhou.

After this battle, the aura of the thick god above his head had been weakened into a looming mass.

The terrible Jeruxiugo did not reflect, but thought that he was careless and did not bring out his own style, so he came again......

Hearing that Yelu Hugo was defeated, Xiao Yanyan decisively issued an order to withdraw the army from the front of the pass and withdraw to the back of the mountain. However, because the Song army temporarily had few troops, and seeing the Liao army shrinking, it was unable to recover the villages behind the mountain. This is the advantage of cavalry, once defeated, it can quickly assemble and retreat. But don't worry, in the northwest, a powerful Song cavalry is training......

At the same time, because of the rapid rout, Yelu Hugo could not withdraw with the heavy materials and weapons brought by 80,000 cavalry, and all of them were lost to Li Jilong, including the materials of the Song Dynasty plundered by Yelu Huge's subordinates, and the people were captured.

More than 10,000 war horses were lost, including last year's battle, which almost allowed the Song Dynasty to get 40,000 war horses. These war horses not only made up for the lack of cavalry horses in the Song Dynasty, but even eliminated some weak horses from them and handed them over to the people who suffered losses, so that they could cultivate or use them to pull goods to make a living.

Moreover, compared with the delicate Hetao horses, these Khitan horses are hard-working and hard-working, and they are easier to raise, so they are just handed over to the Zhutun soldiers in Hebei to form a temporary cavalry.

It has a lot of significance, the Song Dynasty also had great victories in the past, such as the great victory in Mancheng, the great victory in Yanmen, the number of Song troops in these two battles is relatively small, but this battle is the real sense of winning more with less, and the defeat is not the Liao miscellaneous army, but the real elite of the Liao army.

There is also a more important significance, Song Jiu has a very large scale in Xifu, and what he actually implemented is the plan of strengthening the army.

These include the promotion of backward generals, the further strengthening of soldiers' equipment, the cavalry being trained in the northwest, and a series of other plans.

However, because of the invasion of Liao, such as entering a no-man's land, it was strongly opposed by some "peace-loving" ministers. Many Wenchen were eager to try. After this battle, these people can shut up together, and the Song Dynasty will not gradually move towards the seemingly "weak" country in history.

Song Jiu strongly supported Li Jilong, and even what Li Jilong asked for, what he immediately provided. Once he fails, then Li Jilong will not only have to come down, but his plan to promote backward progress will fail, and it will also attract more criticism from countless people. After all, Zhao Pu returned to the throne and was eyeing Xifu, not coveting Xifu, but wanting to get Song Jiu down.

……

"Report!"

The news of the great victory was quickly sent to the capital and sent to Xifu.

Song Jiu spent his days in Xifu like a year.

Don't seek a big victory, as long as you don't win or lose, the task is completed. And dragging this Liao army in Dingzhou City, the rear preparations are gradually perfected, and the rear will not be lost. If defeated, the Liao army will once again grow straight in, and the defense line of the Hutuo River will not be able to stop it.

Even the morale that gathers little by little will be extremely low.

When the military report came, Song Jiu almost didn't dare to look at it, it was too fast, so fast, the possibility of winning was very small, but the possibility of defeat was extremely high.

Song Jiu said to Zhang Qixian: "Shi Liang, come and see." ”

Zhang Qixian opened the military newspaper and read it quickly, Li Jilong also knew that everyone in the capital was very worried, so he hastily wrote this recital, and a more detailed recital would not arrive in the capital until a day or two later.

The process was not very clear, but it did not prevent the two from understanding.

Zhang Qixian shouted: "Song Gong, win, win." ”

Song Jiu eagerly took it and looked at it, and at the same time shouted, "Victory." ”

Then he gave a warm hug to the officials of Xifu one by one.

It was only at this time that Song Jiu could understand that Xie An, who was so elegant, didn't even realize that his heels had run off after hearing about the great victory in the water. (To be continued......)
