Liu Ji said that he would intimidate each other with two small-scale explosions, and to bury the Western Liao front army in the ditch alive, and then the Western Liao army generals tied up Yelu Hongda, who was still stubborn to the end, and dedicated it to the Song army. Liu Ji immediately took his banner and surrendered the other two Liao armies that were still trapped in the canyon, and exchanged the greatest victory for the smallest price, but he did not dare to let these surrendered troops go out at this time, but collected their weapons and war horses and found a spacious place to keep them in captivity first, and at the same time reported the victory to the prison army.

Zhao Li rewarded the soldiers of the baggage detachment for taking down the enemy without blood, and at the same time ordered them not to beat, scold, or abuse the prisoners, let alone kill the prisoners, but to be entertained with good food and drink, and to treat their wounds. Liu Ji heard the black line on his face, he is the big steward of the Western Expeditionary Army, and he knows best how much food he has in his hand, and now he is nervous to eat with 10,000 mouths, and now he has to entertain them with delicious food and drink, so he has to take it out of his own mouth! If they had stayed for ten days and half a month, the battle would have been no longer fought, and they would have been eaten up.

Zhao Li could not hear his subordinates' complaints about his preferential treatment of prisoners, and began to implement his second step. He concentrated all the forces in his hands except for the detachment guarding the prisoners and protecting the baggage, and opened a huge iron tong to trap the Liao army in the camp. The formation of the Song army resembles a bull's head, divided into three lanes: left, center, and right. The left road was in the south, the right road was in the north, and the Liao army camp was attacked from the northeast under the cover of the sand mountains on the edge of the Gobi.

In order to conceal the enemy, the Song army hid among the rolling sand dunes during the day and marched quickly at night. This is also why the Song army in the eyes of the Liao army scouts is always looming, and their whereabouts are unpredictable, and by the time dawn the Song army has approached the Liao army's camp near Mount Isana......

The former army did not return for a day. No news came back, which made Xiao Hanlira have another sleepless night. Day 4. As soon as dawn was reported by the scouts to the northeast of the enemy, Xiao Hanlira hurriedly climbed a hill in the camp and looked north. But first he saw the dust billowing in the east, as if a large group of men and horses were marching, and he hurriedly sent a scout to inspect it.

The scouts were ordered to go quickly, and when they approached, they did not look at the road, and they were startled at what they saw. Not only did a large group of Song cavalry come from the north, but there was also a Song infantry army ambushed in the dry riverbed in the south. Xiao Hanlira hurriedly ordered the whole army to be on alert and prepare to meet the enemy, and at the same time sent a partial division to the south to defend, ordering them to block the Song Dynasty infantry army that wanted to copy its rear road, and annihilate them in the riverbed.

The Western Liao Army's reconnaissance cavalry discovered the Song Army's Middle Route Army and Left Route Army. The Left Army was supposed to make a detour back to the enemy's flank and surprise their flank after the Central Army attacked. Cutting off the way for the Western Liao army to flee to the southeast, and now that their whereabouts were exposed, they could no longer wait for the order of the supervising army to immediately take the lead, and spread out a formation to meet the partial division of the Western Liao army with the low embankment at the edge of the riverbed as a cover.

At this time, Xiao Hanli found that the right army of the Song army was sweeping towards the camp, and he could only send an army north again to resist to protect the safety of the camp. However, the front army never returned, and after the redivision of the troops, the Liao army felt that it was overstretched in terms of strength, and could only form a U-shaped defensive line with its back to the Isana Mountain outside the camp, and the mountain pass formed with the Storey Mountain became their only external communication channel......

"Shoot a man before a horse. Aim at the enemy's warhorse to shoot! "The Left Route Army was the first to engage the enemy, and Chen Feng, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, ordered.

"Commander, isn't that right?" Guan Qi, the same knowledge of the first brigade, asked with a frown. Infantry against cavalry, especially when the infantry is on the defensive in offensive and defensive battles. Once the cavalry was within range of the muskets, it only took a dozen breaths to rush to the front. In a hurry, the 1st Infantry Brigade did not have time to build fortifications, let alone artillery support, and the low embankment war horses could leap over. Once the enemy cavalry breaks through the fire net, the unlucky ones will definitely be the infantry troops. But the control system also requires only war horses, which is a bit difficult!

"The number of troops is distributed in echelons. The machine gun positions are arranged on both flanks to form crossfire, and the first round of fire must be fierce! "How did Chen Feng not know the consequences of Lu Dao's actions, but he also had military orders, and the prison army asked him to minimize the casualties of the Liao army, and this battle should be to defeat the enemy, not kill. The battle between the two armies on the battlefield is a life-and-death struggle, and this order of the prison army is indeed a bit outrageous, but Chen Feng knows that there must be a reason why the prison army wants him to do this, and he believes that his troops can do it.

The officers of the 1st Infantry Brigade are all from the original loyal army and the Kryu army, and the backbone of the grassroots force has also participated in the battle of recovering Yanjing and Dading, and has rich combat experience. Moreover, this was the first time they had fought head-on with the Western Liao army, and they did not know the combat methods of the Song army, and they would inevitably panic when they were suddenly hit by firearms, so Chen Feng was confident that they would complete this task.

Chen Feng's order was quickly conveyed, and although some people inevitably questioned this strange order, there was no room for bargaining for military orders, and the orders were carried out to the letter. They quickly erected a fortification in front of the dike, but due to time and conditions, it consisted of a trench connected mainly by foxholes, and the key points were only reinforced with sandbags, so that two lines of defense were formed......

The Western Liao Army, which was attacking the 1st Infantry Brigade, was a team of 2,000 men led by an adjutant general, and he looked at the humble position of the Song army with great curiosity and found it ridiculous. These men did not line up, but lined up along the river embankment, forming two thin lines of defense. Although the Song army dug a trench, but the ditch was narrow and shallow, it couldn't stop the war horses at all, and what made people laugh and cry was that the Song army actually hid in the trench, did they think they were radishes, and they could grow back again after cutting off their heads!

The Song army's loose and thin defense line, and it was close to the river bank, it was a Jedi at all, and once it failed, there was nowhere to run. This made the deputy general of the Western Liao Army who led the troops think that as long as he charged himself, he could completely defeat them, so he boldly launched an attack, and did not forget to remind everyone to step on the brakes when rushing into the formation, and not to rush too hard and fall into the ditch, so that the Song people saw the joke.

In the face of the rapidly approaching enemy army, Chen Feng estimated the distance between the two armies and grasped the timing of the fire, which was too far to hit accurately, wasting ammunition in vain; Too close to leave too little time for their own side, and if they don't get it right, they will break through the defenses. He knew that the reason why the cavalry was powerful was that it relied on a strong impact, and the cavalry would not gallop at the beginning in order to maintain the physical strength of the horses, but gradually accelerated. Begin to change from a jog to a fast run from two arrows away, and only after entering the range of the bow and arrow will the horse increase the speed to the fastest in order to complete the last sprint.

"Fire!" When the Liao army was still 300 steps away from the Song army's position, Chen Feng issued an order to shoot, this distance was within the effective range of the Lianzhu gun, and the Liao army's war horse was just about to turn to a fast run, and at this time, starting to block the fire was just right to effectively prevent the enemy from increasing its speed and reducing the impact force behind the worst of the sturgeon.

'Da Da ......'

'Bang, bang, ......' shooting order, the Song army in the first defensive position immediately began to shoot, the target of the horse was originally beaten, the probability of being shot is high, and now Shangguan has an order to 'shoot the horse first', so everyone aims at the next three ways to shoot.

The soldiers of the Western Liao Army were slamming their horses' bellies to increase their horse speed, preparing to complete the most rear-end sprint before receiving the enemy, but suddenly the fire flashed on the side of the Song army's position, and there was a 'crackling' explosion. The war horses of the Song army need to undergo strict training to adapt to the sound of guns, and these foreign counterparts are immediately shocked when they see this battle. They all jumped and jumped like crazy with their eyes shining, their manes and their tails pouting, and of course many of them were quickly freed.

And the owners of the horses were no better, they only saw the starry lights and rising smoke in front of them, and the continuous explosion in their ears, and the sound of breaking the sky for some reason. Of course, the deepest feeling is that the war horse under the crotch ran and ran and suddenly bloomed one or several blood flowers on the body, and fell to the ground, of course, they also turned over and flew out, the light fell to the nose and swollen face, the heavy is the broken bones and tendons, and the worse thing is that the fallen war horse was pressed and unable to move, whether it can survive depends on where the hooves of the companions behind it fall!

The charging Western Liao soldiers watched their companions in front of them turn their backs one after another, they didn't know what they were doing, but they also knew that Lu Dao was plotted by the Song army, and tried their best to reduce their speed to avoid the fire-breathing pipes of the Song army, but it was not easy to stop immediately, and they suffered together. When the people behind finally reined in the horses, they found that there was a lying war horse in front of them, and most of the companions who had fallen off the horse had become foot soldiers, and they were running back with panicked faces!

The adjutant general who led the troops looked at the embarrassed subordinates in front of him, looked at the tragic situation on the battlefield, and felt cold in his heart, understanding that he had encountered the legendary 'artifact' owned by the Song army, and the Jurchens who were invincible back then were defeated by them. Regrouped the team, and found that the defeated horses were heavily damaged, and the loss of personnel was not large, and he understood that the Song army had mercy on them this time. Thinking that armored war horses can be killed, how can people stop them, as for why he can't tell, but it is more difficult to get those frightened subordinates to start another battle.

"Brothers of the Liao Kingdom, listen, God has the virtue of a good life, my emperor does not want to be an enemy of your country, so his subordinates are merciful, but if you don't listen to the advice, don't blame our army for being rude!" Sure enough, the conjecture of the deputy general who led the troops came true, and the Song army handed over the message.

The generals of the Liao army looked at the position of the Song army blankly, as calm as at the beginning, who would have thought that there was a murderous opportunity hidden in it, at this time they felt that it was an impenetrable copper wall, and they would be covered with corpses and rivers of blood......
