"Maybe in history, Xiao Yanyan has suffered several defeats in a row, and she can't even capture a single Yingzhou, and the Daimyo's Mansion has also not been taken, let alone Kaifeng City. But Zhao Heng was also worried about failure, so the two sides tacitly formed an alliance under the city. After all, these two huge armies that are out of sight will cause a lot of pressure on Comrade Zhao Heng, a good brother who looks like a baby, and he may also have vascular and nerve diseases. ”

"But at this time, Wang Chao's army of more than 100,000 was replaced by Cao Wei, the back road was blocked, and he fell into the pit of Lanzhou, hundreds of miles away from Liaojing, surrounded on all sides, ambushed in all directions, Xiao Yanyan had to fight to the death."

Xiao Yanyan was in a hurry.

Zhao Heng was beating the drum, she was also beating the drum, and issued an edict, whoever attacked the city of Lanzhou first would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, and whoever killed the emperor of the Song Dynasty first would be rewarded with 100,000 taels of gold.

Don't doubt whether there is this gold, as long as Zhao Heng is killed, the Song Dynasty will fall, and Kaifeng will have wealth.

Moreover, the strength of the Song army is not as good as that of the Liao army at the moment, and there may be a lot of them behind, but they may not be able to catch up in time.

Xiao Tart-rin suffered the first loss, and will not suffer the second loss, the Liao army went south, there were also a small number of infantry, and broke through several state cities, and also obtained a large number of weapons, including shields and armor and so on.

Then he did something that made Zhao Heng very angry, sandwiching the captured Song Dynasty people among the Liao infantry, holding shields and broadswords in his hands, approaching the baggage cart. As long as the ropes of the baggage carts connected together were cut one by one, the iron cavalry in the rear could quickly rush into the Song army's formation, and a massacre began.

Now the question is: Can Song Jun release arrows?

Zhao Heng glanced at Li Jilong out of the corner of his eyes.

Empress Dowager Li died, and Zhao Heng was very sad. The jealousy of the events of the year faded, and there was no Empress Dowager Li. Li Jilong doesn't have to be so taboo.

Therefore, Zhao Heng's attitude has changed a little, although he is still a little unhappy.

Of course, there are many things he is worried about. Cao Wei has little qualifications, can he be competent to command the hundreds of thousands of Song troops in the north.

"The spearmen were in the first line, ready to fight. Crossbowmen were also ready, throwing at the cavalry in the rear. The shield-bearer was prepared to drag the people behind the baggage cart as much as possible while protecting the soldiers behind him. ”

Li Jilong launched the first order, and the standard-bearer quickly conveyed it with a banner.

Before the arrows were fired, the emperor beat drums at the head of the city, and his soldiers shot the people of his own country. It's so unlucky.

Xiao Yanyan watched from the high platform, knowing that the opportunity was coming, and ordered: "Prepare to attack." ”

The black-pressed armies finally collided together, and countless shouts came from the battlefield that was seven or eight miles long.

The Song army did not use their best weapon, bows and crossbows, and the Liao infantry successfully approached the baggage carts. The weather and terrain were also beneficial to them, and cotton in the Song Dynasty became more popular in recent years, and even brought a lot of wealth to the people in the north.

After all, the grain production in the north is too low, and the planting industry is fighting. Never as far as the South. However, cotton production is not much worse than that of the south, so it greatly compensates for the lack of agricultural income in the north.

Even all kinds of cotton products were exported to Goryeo, as well as various cold countries around it, including the Wa Kingdom.

But it can only be said that the soldiers put on cotton clothes. It is possible to camp and move in colder weather or even further north. However, when it came to combat, the addition of cotton clothing would undoubtedly make the soldiers move a little awkwardly. Or there is a benefit. Sometimes it can be used as a simple piece of armor, as long as the arrows are not strong. Cotton clothing plus the protection of armor, there will be no casualties.

And yet this kind of weather. Obviously more beneficial to the Liao army.

The open terrain is more conducive to the conflict of the Liao army's iron cavalry.

The soldiers couldn't control so much, it was almost a battle of life and death, and the emperors on both sides stood behind and watched, and each was beating drums and cheering.

Therefore, the morale is extremely high.

The Liao infantry rushed up first, and the Song army counterattacked in unison. The spear stabbed through the heavy cart, and the short spear was thrown.

However, it can also be seen that some of the soldiers made many mistakes one after another because of their nervousness, and the enemy was not yet within their range, and despite the training beforehand, they still threw their short spears out of the cannon in advance. On the other hand, the Liao army also captured some short spears, and without scruples, they could not only throw spears but also release arrows, which also brought heavy casualties to the Song army.

Zhang Qixian said: "Ci is not in charge of the army......"

"It means a lot, the weapons in the hands of our soldiers cannot be aimed at our people!" Li Jilong said expressionlessly.

Zhang Qixian suddenly thought of those things in Bashu, and then thought of Song Jiu's several orders for the whole army, and closed his mouth.

There were some fine beads of sweat on Zhao Heng's forehead, and his body was trembling.

Song Jiu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since the time of Taizu, the policy of Qi people has been implemented, but are the poor people and the powerful really together?" Ministers do not refer to wealth, but to various aspects of treatment, such as the law, such as taxes. ”

Zhao Heng was incomprehensible.

"Your Majesty, after the two fiascos of the Gaoliang River and Qigou Pass, although the Liao army invaded, it did not dare to go straight into the gate of Gyeonggi. But in the hands of His Majesty, Empress Dowager Xiao dared to do this. ”

"Didn't you say that?"

"That's one of the motives, and there is another reason, the two emperors were tough by nature, but the Liao State didn't dare to do it. His Majesty loves the people like a son, which is a good thing for the people, but his personality is a little soft, because he doesn't want the people to be separated from his wife because of the war, so he wants to reconcile with the Liao State. Sometimes, however, the truth is not spoken, but punched. For example, the poor people mentioned by the minister, although the court has implemented the policy of Qi Min, they will always be a vulnerable group, so it is impossible to truly Qi Min. The same is true of the country, if you want peace, sometimes you have to not only be reasonable, but also have to fight with your fists......"

Song Jiu suddenly thought of his past life.

The First World War had not been fought for decades, and even if it wanted to agree to it in the United Nations, in the end, in order to collude with the Western powers, it had to abstain. Being a man with his tail between his legs everywhere doesn't seem to be like a big country, not even as good as that Po country. But that's it, and it's also described as an evil country.

Reasonable?

Why don't you play the piano with the cow?

Zhao Heng was speechless.

Dare to love Song Jiu and say that he is too bad, so Xiao Yanyan came to bully him.

Song Jiu ordered the eunuch to bring the medicinal soup.

If it is according to what Liu E said, maybe Zhao Heng has a nerve or vascular disease, and it may still be a hereditary disease of the Zhao family.

Such a noisy and bloody environment. There is no benefit to Zhao Heng's body.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that Your Majesty is a little uncomfortable. But Your Majesty, I have to get through it no matter what I have to do today. Whether His Majesty can be inscribed in the annals of history, become a generation of heroes, and whether the Great Song Dynasty can become strong or not, all depends on today. ”

Zhao Heng nodded.

But after Song Jiu's words, his nervousness also improved slightly, and then he looked at the battlefield.

The battlefield was brutal, with soldiers falling every second. Some of the soldiers were clever, shouting while fighting. Let the people flee quickly. You stay in the Liao army, and the Song army can't release arrows. The bow and arrow were the strongest weapons of the Song army.

The Liao Iron Cavalry killed him.

But after this bloodbath, most of the people either fell or fled to the Song army.

Li Jilong said: "Release the arrow." ”

Tens of thousands of crossbows were tightened, and tens of thousands of bows and arrows were hung high.

Then, like a rain of locusts in a plague of locusts, it flew into the sky and then fell.

However, with this toss, many cavalry had already rushed to the front of the baggage array, and many ropes were cut by the Liao infantry. If it's not connected, you'll be able to crash through this weird array of cars.

Li Jilong shouted again: "Each commander has launched the broken cavalry army. ”

Most of the Broken Cavalry were also brought here, not in the two armies on the Western Front, and then scattered under various commands. Incorporated into the various commanders, that is, in the various legions.

These broken cavalry troops immediately played a role, effectively blocking the onslaught of the Liao army.

Arrows are flying in the sky. There are those of the Song Dynasty and those of the Liao Kingdom. All kinds of weapons on the ground are fighting and colliding, and the form of the battlefield is still chaotic and unknown.

But more than half an hour later. The Liao army gradually gained the upper hand.

Only then did Li Jilong say: "Big stone cannon." ”

The big stone cannon is a trebuchet, one is the stone word emperor, and the other is next to the fire word.

At one time, it also played a role, but the two countries almost reached the pinnacle of the history of cold weapon warfare, and then the Liao army found a way to crack it.

The trebuchet is equipped with a gunpowder bag, if it is small, it will not work, if it is large, the range is not far, and the rate of fire is slow, you can get out of the way in advance when you see it coming. And trebuchets also have many fatal shortcomings, no matter how they are improved, they must be operated by multiple people, and the rate of fire is never fast. It worked, but not dominantly. Including the Liao army once used the captured trebuchet gunpowder to attack the city of the Song Dynasty, and once Lei Youzhong used the trebuchet to quell Wang Jun's rebellion and attack the city of Chengdu.

The defenders of the city did something simpler, they could solve the problem by lying down on the ground, there were casualties, but the war could have no casualties, as long as there were no fatal casualties, it could not completely turn the tide of the war.

However, this time, the trebuchets pushed out by the Song Dynasty were different from the past.

They are so large that even if they are improved, they will require nearly a hundred soldiers to operate, and of course, they are a special case, and the clumsy trebuchets of the general front line may not come in handy. The first is the soldiers, just now a hundred trebuchets, almost tens of thousands of troops will be invested, and there are so many troops in the front-line forts. If it's less, it's useless.

But now it's powerful.

These improved trebuchets have more disadvantages, such as more complicated operation and slower launch speed, but they can throw five or six hundred pounds of spherical objects to a distance of 700 meters.

With Li Jilong's order, a hundred trebuchets began to work.

Then a hundred big balls fell into the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry that rushed up behind.

Black powder is far less powerful than yellow powder, although its stability is good, unlike yellow powder, although it can be manufactured, it can rarely be used in practice.

However, if the weight of black powder reaches 500 catties, and there are many more vicious iron nails and thistles inside, the nature will be completely different.

A hundred loud noises then came out among the black and oppressive Liao cavalry, although the Liao State had also prepared for a long time, and even put a horse on the horse, but as the loud noise stopped, many soldiers still fell, and even many war horses scurried around.

A thick shadow rose in the blood-stained snow, and the battlefield suddenly became quiet for a while.

With just one blow, hundreds of Liao soldiers were killed, and many more were wounded, and they tumbled off the battlefield, howling incessantly.

The Song army took this opportunity to press the Liao army out of the formation again. However, on the other side, Xiao Yanyan also had red eyes, and with the order, countless iron horsemen were sent from behind.

The battle situation continued to be fierce, and on the front line of the Song army, every inch of land, every trench, both sides were desperately fighting.

Then a hundred large gunpowder packets were thrown.

However, this time the Liao army had already prepared, and the generals watched them fall and immediately ordered to evacuate to all sides.

It still killed many Liao soldiers, but the Liao continued to desperately attack the Song army camp.

The horses laid in front were destroyed, the trenches were lost, the baggage carts were crashed open, and the battlefield gradually forced the fence of the Song army camp.

Li Jilong ordered: "After withdrawing the camp fence, continue to snipe with the fence." ”

It seemed that this was a correct order, but Li Jilong regretted it afterwards.

The Song army obeyed the order to retreat, but this retreat, some soldiers began to flee backwards because of cowardice, and even took the Liao army to take advantage of the situation to kill the camp.

Song Jiu suddenly shouted: "Long live the Great Song, long live." ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."

"The lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the country humiliates the ministers to death."

As he shouted, the guards at the head of the city also shouted, and the Song army under the city followed suit.

This stabilized morale, and the military judges in the back began to kill the fleeing soldiers, and the soldiers in front fought bloodily without a rout.

Li Jilong glanced at Song Jiu gratefully.

Then the two looked at each other, Li Jilong looked at the hourglass, and until now, nearly two hours have passed, so he raised the telescope from the city tower and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, he raised his sword and slashed down.

Pan Wei saw his action below, and shouted, "Eldest mother, finally let me play." (To be continued......)
