readx; Many years later, when people talked about the battle of Xiaoyeling, all they could say was that the general won and Xiao Dahu failed, and there was no more word in the history books, even the most orthodox national books only marked one sentence - the general won the battle in the wild!

But there is the truest description in the mournful song of the Khitan people - oops, the poisonous saliva in the devil's mouth burned the mountain, oops, the eagle with broken wings fell into the mountain of flames, oops, the flames that could not be extinguished burned the bones......

The fire there was so great that Hai Dongqing, who was hovering high in the air, had to flee from the violent air. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After the fire burned more than 20,000 people, it also blocked the way of Yun Zheng's army, Xiaoye Ridge is actually composed of a small mountain pack protruding, behind it is a narrow valley area, this canyon is actually a wind duct corroded by the perennial north wind, when there is no wind on the flat land, it is also a cold wind howling, not to mention that it is now the season when the cold wind is raging.

The fire did not cause the fire to burn the company camp, and the Song army's offensive was carried out against the wind, and the area on fire was not large, but unfortunately, in order to protect the marshal Xiao Dahu, his lieutenant issued a wrong military order, ordering everyone to assemble in Xiaoyeling......

A thousand incendiary bombs were thrown into a small area, each containing ten pounds of gasoline mixture, plus brutal white phosphorus, which finally caused an unprecedented record.

Lang Tan on Baishan Mountain, Li Dongchu on Huoshan Mountain, and Cui Da in Xijing all saw the pillar of smoke high into the clouds, and they all packed up their position and retreated to the mountain. After drinking a bowl, he was driven away by Yun Zheng, and he said very politely, the war is in full swing, what are the eunuchs doing here?

Chen Lin was not angry, and he had no doubts about Yun Zheng's battlefield command. The only thing he wanted to know was whether Yun Zheng was safe, he heard that Yun Zheng's handsome flag once appeared at the front of the battlefield, which was also not allowed, and now that he saw that Yun Zheng was all right, he naturally returned to the rear army.

Yun Zheng drank millet porridge in small sips, but his eyes were extremely erratic. He only hopes that Xiao Dahu will not withdraw his troops easily, and 20,000 people is not a pain in the bones for Xiao Dahu, who has an army of more than 300,000 troops.

Therefore, he gave a new order to Wu Jie, who had crossed the Great Wall from outside the pass, and ordered him to lurk on the spot and not be discovered by Xiao Dahu's scouts.

And Zhao Yang's cavalry team. But he needs to speed up his pace and get to Baishan Mountain quickly, at least in the area between Baishan Mountain and Huoshan Mountain, he needs more cavalry.

The sky outside the tent was still clear, and there was no sign of turning cloudy, and at this time, the Great Song Dynasty really needed a goose feather snow to hinder the pace of the Liao people, at least so that Xiao Dahu would not run too far.

From Yehukou, the army entered between Baishan Mountain and Huojiao Mountain, where they began to build a military fortress in a vain attempt to connect the two mountains together. Maintain a fragile line of defense.

Xiao Dahu's army gave up its plan to encircle these two mountains, and Yun Zheng's plan was to make Xiao Dahu so bold that he wanted to surround his Chinese army together, if that was the case. A field battle full of variables will turn into a war of annihilation, and of course, it seems that it is the Song army that has been annihilated on the surface.

The army began to cut wood and burn charcoal in this area, putting on the appearance of holding on for a long time, and focused the deployment of the army in the direction of Xijing, which gave Xiao Dahu a certain amount of pressure, but did not make him have the intention of leaving.

Xijing is Datong. It is a historic human settlement.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Datong area was inhabited by Beidi. Beidi refers to the nomadic tribe of Lin Hu Lou Fu, who lived by hunting. According to the "Warring States Policy. "Shi Di" contains: "North of Lanzhou, Shanxi Province, so the building is annoying; North of Shuozhou, Datong. Ancient forest hudi. ”

Datong to Inner Mongolia Hetao area. In spring and autumn, it is the place where the forest and hu are active. (Tang) Emperor Yao sealed Xihe's son as the elder of Beiyue, and his second son and uncle came to the house. In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the ancient Datong is the ancient Ping Kingdom. Shang Tang has the same surname here. Generations of sons to build a country.

At the beginning of the Warring States Period, it was a Dai State, and later merged into Zhao Land. According to the Historical Records. Zhao Shijia", Zi Xi told Zhao Jianzi that the son of the monarch will be surnamed Ke Erguo in the north. And Jian Zi's pawn, without blood, is for Xiangzi, the north of the summer house, so that the slaughterer uses copper and wood to kill the king, and then the army is peaceful.

After Qin Shi Huang unified China, abolished the feudal system, established counties, set up 36 counties in the country, and now Datong is the land of Yanmen County. At that time, the cities that were recorded were: Pingcheng, Daishan, Wuyanling, Pingshuwu, Zhousai, Xincheng, Banshi, Mayi, etc. Qin Shi Huang sent the general Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu in the north, and recruited the people to build the Great Wall.

The land was occupied by the Later Tang Dynasty for five generations, and there was no major change in the zoning. Yunzhong County, for Yunzhou governance, belongs to Hedong Road.

Li Keyong and Khitan Yelu Abaoji met in Dongcheng, Yunzhou, Yi Pao Ma was a brother, and was renamed Huairen County because of the righteousness of "thinking of benevolence";

In the second year of Tongguang in the Later Tang Dynasty, Guangling County was set up in Xingtang County, Ulzhou. After the Tang Dynasty Zhuangzong Tongguang three years later, Yunzhou was the Datong Army Festival.

Qing Tai three years of rebellion will be the river festival to make Shi Jingjiao, worship the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang as his father, borrow the Khitan soldiers to destroy the Tang Dynasty, called the emperor, the country name Jin.

With the help of the Khitan, the sixteen states of Yanyun were ceded to the Khitan. Wu Luan, the judge in the clouds, "closed the door and was not subject to the Khitan order", repaired the equipment, guarded the city day and night, and persisted for half a year, "Luan asked for help from Jin, and the Jin lord summoned Luan to return to the south", and Yunzhou fell. So far, Datong has been ruled by the Khitan for a hundred years, so that the Han rule in the Central Plains has since lost the northern Ping Domain.

This is a fertile land, the rivers here are longitudinal and horizontal, it can be regarded as abundant water and grass, but it is a pity that since the Tang Dynasty, the Han people's rule here can almost be ignored, the large number of Han people here has been lost by the war after five dynasties and ten countries, and there is little left of those reclaimed fields a long time ago, and now it is occupied by wild grasses again, and it has become a place for Liao people to graze again, as far as the eye can see, in addition to Xijing, there are four or five small castles that can almost be ignored, However, such military fortresses can be seen everywhere.

After arriving in the Great Song Dynasty, except for Yang Wudi's brief capture of Xijing for three months, the Great Song army never arrived in this land.

The geographical environment of Datong is located in the south of the Yin Mountain, the east of the Yan Mountain, the north of the Luliang Mountain, the north of the Taihang Mountain, the four major mountain ranges, is the central bird migration channel led by the wild goose.

In the northwest, there are fire mountains, Baishan Mountain, Shuangshan Mountain, Erlang Mountain, Yunmen Mountain, Cailiang Mountain and other large and small mountain ranges as barriers, which are the places where soldiers must fight.

The barrier is generally relative, the reason why the Han people say that if they lose Yunzhong, there will be no northern barrier, that is a sentence said in the case of the enemy is strong and I am weak, once the Great Song Dynasty becomes a strong side, Yunzhong is also an important southern barrier for the Liao State, and the steep terrain here can help the Liao people resist the threat from the Song State.

The appearance of gunpowder made the walls weak and could not be turned into their own protective shells, especially when the gunpowder was only in the hands of the attacker, and the city was no obstacle to the attacker.

Yun Zheng now only hopes that the people of Liao can continue their old thinking and enter Xijing! and then was trapped alive by himself in Xijing City.

A small city, a large population, such a city is destined to be undefendable, as long as Yun Zheng thinks of the three wide tunnels that Cui Da dug under the city wall, he sincerely hopes that Xiao Dahu can return to Xijing with the army under the current situation.

"Xiao Dahu must be injured!"

Yun Zheng put down the millet porridge that he hadn't finished drinking and said to Su Xun.

Su Xun put down the porridge bowl, elegantly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Your heart is upset?" You didn't usually put your hopes on speculation in the past! ”

"The battle of Liao, which began in early autumn until now, has been going on for half a year, costing countless amounts of money and food, but the people in the country have not seen the results of the war until now, and if there is no exciting news to return to them, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will question the necessity of war."

Su Xun looked at Yun Zheng strangely and said: "You can take Xijing down now, let Chen Lin write the good news, and then the cavalry will blow and beat the good news all the way to the whole world." ”

Yun Zheng licked his lips and thought for a while, shook his head resolutely, and said: "No, Xijing is the rat cage I have prepared for five years, if there are no rats in it, I will just take the rat cage back, in that case, I am very sorry for my hard work." ”

Su Xun said: "I remember that the reason why you arranged it that way at the beginning, wasn't the purpose to take Xijing with lightning speed so that the Liao people could be terrified?" ”

"It's different now, with the name Xiao Dahu and my guy who committed a crime, I am reluctant to put away this cage, this cage should give me a greater reward!"

Su Xun nodded, picked up the porridge bowl again, and said: "Cui Da has news from there, he has emptied the grain depot of the Liao people, and the grain has been hidden in Cailiang Mountain, and the location has been told to us, as long as we dig it."

Just this morning, Cui Da went to Xiao Dahu's army with 200,000 catties of grain, ready to find out if Xiao Dahu was dead, because it was Xiao Dahu's deputy general Han Zhou who issued orders to Xijing City these days! ”

Yun Zheng nodded to show that he knew, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the grain and grass of the Liao people don't all rely on the grain in the city, if we have a way to kill the sheep in Xiao Dahu's hands, without us killing people, the wasteland can kill half of Xiao Dahu's army." ”

"You can't expect Trida to surprise you even more!"

Yun Zheng drank the rest of the porridge in one gulp and put the rice bowl on the table and said, "You are wrong, Cui Da deserves more trust from you!" (To be continued)
