"Liulang, Zijun, you will be in the limelight in this battle." Wei Neng said with a blushing eye.

With the disturbance of the pockets, the West Road transferred a part of the Beiwei Army to the North Road, and Cao Wei reassigned the generals to Yang Yanzhao and Tian Min, both of whom had practiced the Beiwei Army, and many of the Beiwei Army officers and soldiers were also their subordinates, which was a normal appointment.

But there is no Zhang Ning's share.

For this reason, Cao Wei also appeased Zhang Ning a few words.

Everyone knows too well what the combat effectiveness of the Beiwei Army is, and it has been trained in the northwest for so many years.

Hearing the sound of artillery on the front line, both departments began to mobilize troops and horses, Yang Yanzhao and Tian Min took 5,000 Beiwei troops, and he and Wei Neng, Zhang Ning, Li Jixuan, Wang Deyong, Li Qi and other generals rushed to the main battlefield of Lanzhou with 25,000 cavalry. Li Chongzhi and Tian Shaobin and others will follow with 35,000 infantry.

Zhang Sijun, Wei Shaomin and others will immediately dig trenches in the rear, preparing to block the fleeing Liao army.

But it's not the strongest Song army.

The strongest Song army was in the direction considered weakest by the Liao people, the West Road.

Jing Si led the Beiwei Army, and Ma Zhijie and Qin Han led the Xianping Army, these two arms were the most powerful cavalry arms in the Song Dynasty, and the three main generals were also famous generals. Especially that eunuch, Song Jiu estimated that if it was the same force and confrontation in the same environment, Yang Yanzhao might not be able to fight Qin Han, or Jing Si was his opponent.

When they heard the sound of the cannons, they set off first.

Shi Baoji followed with the infantry.

It is unlikely that the Liao army will break through from the west, but in order to prevent accidents, Geng Quanbin will still be left behind. Dig a trench on the west side and prepare for battle. Or side support. The strength of the two armies reached more than 130,000 people.

At the very least, the troops invested by both sides in the main battlefield have reached almost half a million people.

The Liao army is also expected to have a telescope. Captured from the Song Dynasty.

Xiao Yanyan climbed the lookout tower, watched the large group of cavalry in the distance sweeping over, her whole body was terrified, and she immediately went down from the tower and ordered: "Eat immediately, after eating well, bring five days of dry food, and prepare to retreat to the north." ”

At this time, she regretted a little in her heart, but the regret was a little wrong. She regretted that she should not have delayed too much time in Yingzhou and other cities, so that she had reached today's situation. But at this point, she didn't think it would be wiped out.

If you want to defeat the Song army, you can't do it, but you can still break through, no matter that the Song Dynasty's side is inferior to the Liao army, and in order to support the main battlefield, several Song troops are out of touch, even if there are a lot of Song cavalry, but can you stop the retreat of the Liao army? At that time, this disconnect was beneficial to the Liao army. Cavalry, infantry, and defensive armies can be easily defeated. There are still more than 100,000 Song troops under the city of Lanzhou, but most of them are infantry, and the speed cannot catch up. And I have to protect the emperor.

The Liao army camp began to move.

……

"Your Majesty, the Liao army is ready to escape." Li Jilong said.

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Your Majesty, if the Liao army is alone. The force is above our army, and besides, the cavalry. However, their shortcomings are just as obvious. The military discipline was slightly poor, and it didn't take long to break through. So it was defeated many times by our army. This time, the 300,000-strong army went south, and the shortcomings were even more obvious. Although they did not go south like Fu Jian, a ragtag army composed of various ethnic groups, but mainly the Khitans, Xi people, as well as the Han people close to the Liao State and the Bohai warriors in the southeastern part of Liao, in order to gather 300,000 troops, they still recruited Tatar, Jurchen, Murwei and Dangxiang warriors. When fighting a good battle, and getting a large number of captures, the Liao army will unite as one. In the event of a rout, even if the soldiers of the various tribes are not the main body, it will cause even greater chaos. ”

Feng Zheng immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty He Xi, the great victory is imminent." ”

"To be a scholar and a doctor, you must have integrity." Kou Zhun sneered.

"Don't argue, victory is in sight, you are still arguing, and you are not afraid of people's jokes." Zhao Heng turned his head again: "Song Qing, are the Yanyun Han people really loyal to the Liao State?" ”

"Yes, but don't be angry, the northerners are fierce and respectful of the strong, and the Liao State is really good to the Han people in the Liao realm. But later, if the army goes north, the area that you want to recover must give up the previous grievances, and use grace and power to govern, with grace as the mainstay, with fu as the mainstay, and with prestige as the supplement, unless the rebels are not allowed to face each other. Otherwise, it was obtained, and like Liao Taizong, he fell into the sea of people's war and finally withdrew. In fact, as long as the policy is appropriate, this battle ...... You can even get the whole northern ......"

"The whole North?" It's not that Zhao Heng was surprised, it was the big guys who were surprised together.

"At that time, the minister went to Liaodong to promote the cultivation method of the Central Plains. Why don't Hu and Han get along? The previous minister said that the way of civilization is different, so it has been difficult to integrate, even if Tang Taizong has most of the Hu blood, he has not achieved the Hu and Han families. However, now many areas in eastern Liaodong have begun to cultivate and graze, including Liao, seeing its benefits, continue to promote it in the Bohai Sea region and Liaodong, and even to some river valley areas in the desert. Once settled, whether it is a Hu or a Han Chinese, as long as the court has the right policy, does not disregard them, and does not send mediocre, cowardly, greedy, and brutal officials, it can govern them. If the imperial court had put some effort into promoting education, developing commerce, encouraging Hu and Han to communicate with each other, changing their way of life and clothing, and encouraging them to speak the official dialect of the Song Dynasty, then in a few decades, it would be able to become a Hu and Han family. However, because of the water and soil problems on the desert side, it will always be a headache. However, most of Liaodong and the area around Yingzhou can be included in the territory of our dynasty. ”

There was a light in the eyes of many.

In that case, the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties can be restored.

However, some people had doubts in their eyes, and Song Jiu said again: "The Liao Kingdom is over!" ”

Maybe the Liao country is finished, maybe the Liao country can continue to struggle to survive. But the extent to which the First Battle of Lanzhou was fought was the first step in determining the fate of the Liao State.

Li Jilong began to order.

……

"General Pan, what do you say about our military merits?" A junior school asked.

Zhao Heng ordered that whoever killed a Liao soldier would be rewarded with twenty yuan. But now so many people have died, including their own people and Liao soldiers. The gods came, and I don't know who killed them. Especially the artillery army, they killed the most enemies, and they were most concerned about this head money.

"Don't worry. His Majesty and Song Gong were watching from the top of the city, and they were there. Do you have to worry about unfair rewards and punishments? Pan Weizheng replied.

They muttered under the city, and Li Jilong also saw a lot of thoughts in the city. Therefore, the first order was very strange, and it was not conveyed in the language of the flag, but in the messengers to the ministries.

"The Liao army is ready to flee immediately, and a great victory is coming, but the officers and men of the three armies must not obey their orders, and each of them will command and command, so as to avoid chaos among the battalions, and those who do not obey the orders will be beheaded. As well as catching up on time. It is forbidden to cut off people's heads or collect materials for the sake of reward, so as not to delay the pursuit and those who violate the order will also be beheaded. ”

"However, your military exploits have long been recorded in the merit book, and after the battle, the battlefield will be cleaned up, and rewards will be given to count the number of dead bodies of the enemy, and there will be another reward, if there are any battalions who instruct and distribute them improperly, or if they are greedy for your military merits. Your Majesty will set up a supervisor envoy, and you can come here to complain. ”

The order was conveyed to the three armies, and there was a burst of cheers from the three armies.

There may still be disputes after the war, but victory is on the horizon right now. Therefore, they all cheered.

The Liao army was preparing to retreat, and the Song army was preparing for a counteroffensive.

Xiao Yanyan looked at Han Derang and said, "Han Qing." You take 20,000 soldiers and horses and keep them. ”

Han Derang bowed down and cried bitterly: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

The Liao State also has the main battle faction and the main peace faction, including during this trip. There were many ministers and nobles who opposed it, but Han Derang was the main battle faction that stood firm. Moreover, in order to explain to all the ethnic groups in Liao, Han Derang will die after returning to Liao.

If you stay, you will die after you break it, but if you die like that, you will cover up all the ugliness, at least the Han family will keep it.

The Liao army was preparing to retreat lightly, and many soldiers couldn't stand this blow, so why did the situation take a sharp turn for the worse in a blink of an eye? So some elegy was sung indignantly. Xiao Yanyan also said goodbye to Han Derang in tears.

Li Jilong couldn't see that scene and began to give orders.

A phalanx came out of the Song camp and counterattacked the Liao army camp.

"Withdraw." Xiao Yanyan said.

"Prepare for defense." Han De gave in.

The 20,000 Liao army was grief-stricken and prepared to defend with the help of the camp fence, and the remaining main force of the Liao army was ready to break through from the north.

Li Jilong issued another order.

"Put!" Gao Qiong said.

"Put!" Pan Wei is right.

A hundred super stone cannons and a thousand artillery pieces aimed at the Liao army's fence and blasted at it.

It may not be as good as the head, but it was still blasted open one after another in the near future.

Sun Quanzhao and Ge Ba rushed over with the snow-hidden cavalry.

Although Han Derang was loyal, his dedication disappointed him and did not prevent the Song army for long. Seeing the gaps in the fence appearing one by one, the Song rode in front of them, and the dense infantry phalanx behind them followed, and the Liao army that stayed behind no longer had the courage to fight, so they turned over their horses one by one and began to flee.

In less than an hour, the Song army entered the Liao camp. Han Derang wiped his neck with grief and indignation to thank the country with his death.

Sun Quan looked at his corpse and said: "From the standpoint of the Liao State, this person is also a meritorious hero, if it weren't for the fact that our dynasty was even more powerful, maybe this person would be able to go down in history." Try to bury this person as thickly as possible. ”

That's a fair assessment.

Then he chased after the Song army.

Xiao Yanyan looked at the large group of Song Jun chasing after her, and did not blame Han Derang, but shed another cloud of tears.

Then he said angrily: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to go home, you have to rush." ”

"If you want to go home, you have to rush," the three armies shouted, and then collided with Yang Yanzhao and Tian Min's backs.

At this time, they became a battle of trapped beasts, and their eyes were red, although the equipment of the Beiwei Army was chilling, although the combat effectiveness of the Beiwei Army was stronger now, but under their impact, the Beiwei Army still suffered heavy casualties, and they couldn't stop their escape at all.

However, this block will eventually win some time. Cao Wei hurriedly ordered: "Order the rear, let Tian Shaobin immediately stop advancing, dig a trench, stand up in front of the trench to resist horses, form a phalanx, and prepare to meet the battle." ”

"Li Jixuan, Zhang Ning, Wei Neng, you listen to the order, each bring 5,000 cavalry, Wang Deyong, Li Qi, you each bring 3,000 cavalry, kill it, no matter what, delay the enemy's three tea time, and then divide the troops left and right, let the enemy break through and escape, and then keep attacking and harassing left and right, slowing down the enemy's escape."

"Whoa."

The five generals were ordered to go down.

These five people are also fierce generals, although the Liao army is not dying at this time, but it successfully delayed the three tea times, Cao Wei ordered with a horn to separate the left and right.

Although the Liao army was red-eyed, it was true to flee for their lives, and when they saw the Song army separated, they immediately fled to the north again.

Cao Wei continued to lead his men to attack left and right.

In this battle, his army suffered heavy casualties, and after the battle, nearly 25,000 soldiers were sacrificed.

Soon the battlefield killed Tian Shaobin and Li Chongzhi's department.

There is no need for Cao Wei to elaborate on the battlefield situation, and they also know that the Liao army must be blocked here.

Another bloody battlefield begins.

At this time, Ma Zhijie and Qin Han led the fast-moving Xianping army to arrive.

The Liao army is still desperate.

Jing Si led the Beiwei army to arrive, and the Liao army was still desperate.

Ge Ba and Sun Quanzhao's cavalry also killed, and the Liao army continued to fight hard.

However, as the sun set, the tenacious fighting spirit of the Liao army slowly disappeared. All the strongest armies of the Song Dynasty are here, although they are desperate, their combat effectiveness is not worse than these Song troops, but the people are finally about to win a big victory, and the formations are not scattered, so they nailed the Liao army here.

Then Li Jilong arrived with the main infantry army under the city of Lanzhou and the infantry army of Shi Baojie, and the Liao army began to collapse, and no longer ignored Xiao Yanyan's orders, fleeing in all directions.

They knew very well that with the crimes they committed, if they fell into the hands of the Song army, they would not be able to escape well, and at least they would be sent by the Song people to dig mines for a lifetime.

Looking at the Song cavalry approaching in all directions, Xiao Yanyan sat in the chariot and looked at the north, and suddenly said: "Xian, I am a sinner in the Liao Kingdom, Derang, the mourning family is with you." ”

Then he looked at the generals and said: "Today's defeat is the fault of the mourning family, and all the faults are the responsibility of the mourning family, but everyone, I hope you will protect Your Majesty, and in any case, you will return to China with Your Majesty." ”

Saying that, he killed himself with a knife.

Yelu Longxu cried loudly, so the three armies of the Liao State cried loudly...... (To be continued......)
