In the nineteenth year of Xining (1087), in March, the Song Dynasty destroyed Western Xia.

In April of the same year, the Great Song Dynasty rejected the Liao peace talks.

Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji led an army of 400,000 to the south to attack Xingling and Hebei.

The Hebei battlefield was stalemate, and the Western Xia battlefield was like a bamboo, and the 200,000 Liao troops soon arrived at Xingqing Mansion.

The mountain wind is howling, and the hunting is sounding.

Huang Shang led the generals and stood on the wall, looking at the Liao army in the distance.

Today's war situation is actually very clear.

With Western Xia as a chessboard, the Song and Liao sides fell into each other's hands.

The Great Song Dynasty hoped to digest the gains of Western Xia, so that there were more good horses and more elite cavalry, and then with the momentum of thunder, the Liao State was destroyed.

The Liao State obviously would not sit idly by and watch the Great Song Dynasty continue to be strong, so it took advantage of the remnants of the party in Western Xia to start a big war while they were still resisting in various places.

If the Great Song Dynasty wins this battle and the Liao State is defeated and retreats to the north, then its end will be doomed, and there can be no second way.

If the Great Song Dynasty fails in this battle and is invaded by the Liao State and occupies the land of Xingling, then not only will the previous efforts make a wedding dress for the enemy, but the next Liao Iron Cavalry will threaten the Great Song Dynasty, which has no barrier to defend, and the outcome will be needless to say.

Therefore, although this battle is not a decisive battle, it actually determines the fate of the two countries, and it is like a decisive battle!

Long before the start, the two sides had already sent small units to test each other, alternate offense and defense, and after the warm-up, the victory or defeat of the big battle was naturally to be divided in the next confrontation.

"It's coming!"

As soon as the generals stared, they saw a black line in the sky, appearing in their sight.

It was a black cavalry, slowly approaching in an extremely regular formation.

"Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! ”

Not only are they neatly arranged, but these Liaoguo iron horses are roaring and shouting while marching, as if they have infinite energy, majestic and unmatched.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

When there are still a few miles away from the city, the Liao army is in the formation of drums and horns, thousands of troops and horses are separated to both sides like waves, sixteen knights persistently waving sixteen golden yellow flags in the wind, galloping out of the front of the formation, a team of captains spearmen, axes, archers, shield bearers rushed forward, lined up on both sides, ten generals in brocade robes and iron armor, surrounded by one person out of battle.

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The Liao army shouted, and the sound shook the four fields.

On the Xingqing Mansion, the faces of the generals were solemn, even if they knew that this was the other party's dismount, they also felt pressure on the military appearance of the Liao State.

But the other army was excited.

"Yelu Hongji is really here, haha, in the original plot, he died by himself, and was captured by Duan Yu and Xuzhu, this time is no exception!"

"This is a style decision, even if the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is a personal expedition, it is impossible to charge into battle, he only needs to sit in the rear of the three armies, which is to stabilize the morale of the army, but since the Emperor of Liao is here, he must boost morale on the front line, if he shrinks behind, his morale will inevitably weaken, and he will not even dare to go to the battlefield, how can he lead the Khitan warriors?"

"Hey! Then take him down! ”

In the Flying Tiger Army, all the reincarnators are gearing up and their morale is high.

They knew that this war might be the last chance for the world to reap huge rewards.

This kind of feat of taking the head of the enemy in the midst of thousands of troops, how majestic, how happy, who else is it?

However, the hundreds of reincarnators were divided into two groups.

The group is headed by Huang Shang, a lucky elder, and is surrounded by dozens of famous partners such as Lin Yan, Nanding, Ban Tao, Ye Xian, Panda, Thunderbolt, Mo Qingxin, Mo Qingxue, Qixia, Brilliant, Yudie, Meteor, etc.

This group is basically dominated by the Great Song camp, the Western Xia part, and the last Liao camp are few, and there are only two stars, and they were hunted down and rescued by chance.

The other group is centered on the sharpshooter A Wei, gathering dozens of partners who do not want to be named, mainly the Liao camp that finally defected, and also attracted some reincarnations of Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, which is quite capable.

Compared with the name, the group behind seems to be very miserable, but as we all know, snipers can shoot their heads with one shot from 800 miles away, and the success rate of Ah Wei's side is actually higher.

In view of this, the two sides looked at each other from a distance, with sparks flashing in their eyes, and they were all waiting silently, accumulating strength.

Of course, the protagonists of the war are not them.

"Attack!"

With the Liaozhong army, Yelu Hongji's order, the vanguard army of 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers were all mobilized.

The horse's hooves are like dragons, galloping forward.

The momentum was truly earth-shattering, as if dark clouds were pressing straight over.

Even a kilometer away, the ground began to tremble regularly, and the stones snapped and bounced.

"Ready!"

However, the city has long been prepared, and under the order of You Shixiong, trebuchets have already been prepared.

At the sound of an order, a hundred soldiers shouted and turned the wheels of the base, and rolled the stones weighing 100 catties and grinded to the holster with rolling logs.

"Fat!"

With a wave of his hand, dozens of stone bullets roared up, slashed through the air in an arc, and smashed downward.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the earth-shattering sound, half of the boulders were smashing on the Liaoguo Iron Rider in the front row.

Finished with minced meat.

"Victory! Win! ”

When the defenders saw this, they cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.

That's the advantage of a skilled craftsman.

The trebuchet is not a rare invention, the difficulty lies in the increase in range and accuracy.

There is really no way to achieve accuracy, after a simple geometry, it shoots out with the edge, and in terms of range, Huang Shang let the skilled craftsmen transform it, and now it has increased to two hundred and fifty steps, that is, four hundred meters.

Under the absolute range advantage, there is also a standard cobblestone, even if it can't point where to fight, it is enough to make the Liao army cry and howl.

And that's just the beginning.

On the city wall, cannon holes have already been built, and black iron pipes extend out.

Flint Cannon!

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, gunpowder was used on a large scale in warfare, but in the Song Dynasty, there was already an initial use of firearms.

Under normal circumstances, the character ratio of this initial application is very low, inferior to other war equipment, but don't forget, there is now a group of reincarnators entering the world.

Even if the vast majority of people can't be like the protagonist of the crossing, invent and create, and be all-encompassing, as long as there are a few reincarnators who are biased towards the research side, the improvement brought is very considerable.

And Huang Shang is equivalent to half a traverser, and the Flying Tiger Army has received a few more, plus the original foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, all kinds of factors have come together to achieve the current fuse ignition.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

When dozens of flint cannons roared together, like the thunder god roared, one after another cannonballs streaked across the sky and exploded in the cavalry phalanx, the power shook both the enemy and us in a daze.

They can accept falling rocks, because they can see and touch them, but this kind of fire is like a divine punishment, which makes people's limbs weak, and they can no longer have the will to fight.

No matter how brave the Khitan warriors were, they couldn't help but tremble at this moment, almost thinking that it was the punishment of the heavens, and the heavens wanted them to perish.

Don't underestimate this psychological impact, in a confrontation dominated by cold weapons, once the morale collapses, the end will inevitably be defeated.

"Kill!"

Seizing this opportunity, on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, the horn of the attack sounded, and the Jingsai army let out a frenzied roar, surging towards the enemy army with a momentum of earth-shattering, torrential rain and thunder.

This was not only a simple battle to defend the city, but 100,000 elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were directly stationed outside the city.

This kind of self-confidence once made Yelu Hongji scoff, but now the power of the catapult flint cannon made the Jingsai army chisel through the Liao cavalry as soon as it appeared, completely unstoppable, and the follow-up foot soldiers were armed with sabers, which were even more devastating, chasing and killing all the way.

"Retreat!"

Yelu Hongji's face sank slightly, and he immediately gave an order.

By the time the iron cavalry and foot soldiers returned, the losses had reached nearly three thousand.

In just one hour, such casualties can be called serious, and more importantly, the spirit of the Liao army has been frustrated, and the morale has dropped significantly.

Seeing this, Yelu Hongji did not force an attack, ordered the troops to be collected, and began to set up camp, looking at Xingqing.

On the second day, the Liao army attacked again.

"Spread out! Disperse! ”

This time, the Khitan cavalry already had a way to deal with the flint cannon, and under the mobilization of the general, the iron cavalry with amazing horsemanship scattered in all directions, effectively avoiding the blow of the flint cannon.

At the same time, they were no longer reckless, and their main purpose was to cover the foot soldiers, carrying heavy siege equipment, and launching an attack on Xingqing.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

When the Great Song generals at the head of the city roared, the sky was suddenly filled with haze, it was a rain of arrows blocking the light, but it still couldn't stop the Khitan warriors who were walking like flying, approaching like lightning.

Finally, a hammer gate car weighing more than 1,000 catties, with the joint efforts of 100 soldiers, rushed towards the city gate.

The pointed tip of the big log, like a hideous dragon's head, opened its teeth and dancing claws, filled with the breath of death, and smashed on the huge gate of the Xixia Royal City with a bang.

Under the continuous loud noise, the heavy city gate groaned, unable to stop the mountain-like impact.

But at this moment, huge swinging arms also fell on the city wall, and smashed on the hammer door car with a bang.

At the same time, the strings of the Divine Arm Bow sounded in no particular order, and one after another powerful crossbows shot out, fiercely piercing into the bodies of the Liao soldiers, passing through the flesh and blood, and then diagonally into the ground.

However, the Liao State was also prepared, and at the moment when the hammer gate car was scrapped, one after another cloud ladders smashed into the city with a ferocious posture.

One by one, the Khitan warriors held their swords in their mouths and struggled to climb with their hands, while the defenders at the head of the city shouted wildly and waved their swords of slaughter.

The next day's fighting had not been fought for a long time, and the casualties were already extremely heavy.

The Liao army launched a fierce attack without fear of death, and the city and the city were the targets of their attack, and the Song army also did not flinch, and met the wheat mangdi with the tip of the needle.

Flesh-grinding flowers bloom on the battlefield, and life continues to fill in, seemingly endless.

In such a fierce battle, the battle lasted from the morning to the evening.

The banner hunting, fluttering in the wind, listening to the killing wail from afar, as the wind blew, the faces of the soldiers around Yelu Hongji were already very ugly, and they even looked at the fight in front of them with some horror, for fear that they would become one of them.

Since the signing of the Yuanyuan Alliance, the two countries have been at peace for decades, and if there has been no war for a long time, the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty are actually the same.

Therefore, in the past, Huang Shang was shocked by the fact that the Great Song Dynasty claimed to have an army of one million, but in fact there were only 200,000 available elite soldiers, but in fact, the Liao State also had similar problems.

Otherwise, after more than 30 years, why could the Jin Kingdom be destroyed?

Finding that the morale around him was low, Yelu Hongji frowned and had to give the order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

But this time, if the Liao army wants to retreat, it will not be so easy.

In the Flying Tiger Army, which was closely watching the battlefield, the reincarnators were in high spirits, and Huang Shang's feet were directly off the ground.

It's time to appear!
