Speaking of which, Li Kui really didn't want to steal his home.

He stubbornly believes that stealing is shameless.

But now the Liao people are too upright, put their home in front of him, and if they don't steal it, he can't get by on his conscience.

We all know that there are five capitals in Liao. But in Li Kui's view, except for Xijin Mansion, the other capitals of Liao are not serious capitals. Originally, the Khitan was just a small tribe that originated in the lower reaches of the Liao River. As early as the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty, it was always a vassal state of the Bohai Kingdom. The Bohai State implemented the five-capital system, with five capitals: Longquan Mansion, Xiande Mansion, Longyuan Mansion, Nanhai Mansion, and Yalu Mansion.

During the Five Dynasties period, the Liao State destroyed the Bohai State established by the Yan tribe and established the Dongdan State, which was later changed to the Liao State. The Liao inherited the five-capital system of the Bohai State.

Among the five capitals of the Liao State, except for Xijin Mansion, that is, Yanzhou, none of the others are suitable to become the capitals.

Shangjing, Linhuang Mansion. In later generations, this place was called Chifeng. A good place where cattle and sheep are full of cattle and sheep is that there are fewer people, the city is smaller, and the buildings are broken.

Xijing, Tongzhou. That is, the great harmony of later generations. After the Liao State set up Datong as Xijing, it didn't even build the palace city, so it built a temple in a fool's way, and then cast the founding emperor of the Liao State, and did it hastily. Obviously, the Liao people don't take Xijing seriously either.

There are also such as Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, which is said to be very close to Tieling. It is said that Tieling is a big city, but the problem is that it is indeed difficult to upgrade Tieling to the capital.

Among them, that is, Nanjing Xijin Mansion is more reliable.

Why is Xijin Mansion reliable?

First of all, during the Han Dynasty, this was the state of Youzhou. During the Han Dynasty, the population here was nearly one million, and there were more than a dozen cities. It is also the capital of the ancient Yan Kingdom, with nearly 2,000 years of agricultural civilization. Secondly, Xijin Mansion has the largest palace complex in the Liao State, although it is the accompanying capital, but the Liao emperors like to live in the Xijin Mansion, and do not like the Tieling, which is the most important in the history of the founding of the Liao State.

According to the Han tradition, if a city has a history of 2,000 years, it is likely that it has built a city wall for 2,000 years.

Li Kui encountered the terrifying city left by his predecessors.

When he came to Xijin Mansion, Li Kui found that this house was not easy to steal. The main reason is that the city walls are too high and too difficult, and the price paid for the siege is definitely not small. Especially the city is too big, for Li Kui, who is not superior in troops, once the Liao people fight with him ruthlessly, the outcome is difficult to predict.

He could have ordered the invasion of Zhuozhou, but he definitely did not have the courage to order the destruction of the city when the troops of Xijin Prefecture were sound. He's here to take advantage, not to die.

Li Kui pondered that it might be the best way to trick the Liao army from Xijin Mansion out of the field battle.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party didn't have to lie at all. Instead, he jumped out on his own.

Li Kui saw the Liao army coming out of the city gate under the lens of the clairvoyant. Not only the north gate closest to them, but also other gates also had Liao troops out of the city.

Seeing this formation, he couldn't help but want to praise General Liao, he was too upright.

Today's Praetorian Guards, whether they are Fei Lian, are all in high spirits. After Li Kui took Zhuozhou, there was no shortage of food and materials. Only the ammunition should be spared, but in the battle of Zhuozhou, the ammunition consumed was very small. For Li Kui, this is even more confident.

"Putting the old man on the ......"

"No, it's the Glaive Array."

"Honorable Order!"

Subsequently, the Song army's large array began to change, reinforcing the two wings, and the cavalry retreated. Coupled with the advance of muskets and artillery, the musketeers put down their nails and guns to resist their horses, and the whole formation became a complete hedgehog.

Although this formation was invented by Wu Qi, the god of war, it is a classic formation of winning more with less. But Wu Qi played too many art of war, too high-end, and he could be so powerful with a casual fight that for a long time, this formation was buried.

And the best game in the Glaive Array is Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this old man is most famous for letting soldiers push carts to fight cavalry, and often win more with less. 30,000 against 100,000, 2,000 against 30,000, this kind of incomprehensible battle is all a fairy battle fought by this old man. It's a pity that he saw that he was going to unify the north, but he fell ill and died, and his achievements fell short.

The essence of the Glaive is that the soldiers push carts, protect the wings, block the rapid charge of the cavalry, and the bow and crossbow exert maximum lethality.

Li Kui is also very familiar with this formation, and he has a lot of experience.

After putting out this formation, Li Kui was a little relieved. This formation of his is already very different from the glaive formation in the "General Essentials of the Martial Scriptures". Mainly the artillery and musketeers he now commands.

The way of fighting has changed, and of course, the riotous cart is no less.

"Wujing General Essentials" is actually the general review material for the Great Song Dynasty military generals examination, the whole book is twenty volumes, and the thickness is higher than a pillow, which is very unfriendly to military generals. But Li Kui likes to watch, marching formations, weapon casting, scout reconnaissance, all kinds of offensive and defensive battles, fire and water attacks, and even the selection of generals and soldiers, and the training of non-commissioned officers have detailed explanations, all-encompassing, and nothing is missing.

The most amazing thing is that the last volume of the book is "Divination". In other words, if you can't win a war, the court allows you to use the last move, pray to God.

Such a hi book, it will definitely not be written by military generals, the editor-in-chief Zeng Gongliang, Jinshi and the first officer, all the way from the Zhihe to the Hanlin bachelor promoted to the governor (deputy minister) and privy envoy, with rich experience and means of bullying military generals.

This is a civil minister who is very happy to see it, and most of the generals want to kill people when they learn it, but it has always been Li Kui's favorite. Moreover, in Taixue, almost all secondary two students are hand-owned.

Yelu Yanxi at the head of the city saw the Song army change formation and began to move closer.

Holding on to the female wall at the head of the city, she nodded secretly: "It's a person who understands the art of war." ”

Then he squinted his eyes and said to the courtiers beside him: "Give Han Zi to me and take it to the city, and I want him to see how vulnerable the Song army is." ”

In the prison in the city, the Han Zi who was imprisoned was bored and lay on the haystack, listening to the chaotic shouts in the city, thinking that it should be the front line that is unfavorable and that he is going to send troops again.

"Han Zirang, come out!"

"Dare to ask this father-in-law, where will the criminal go?"

"The head of the city!"

The head of the city?

Han Zirang thought he wouldn't kill him, right? If people can live, they will definitely not want to die. Han Zirang hesitated to find an opportunity, but the eunuch next to him didn't give him a chance at all, and shouted in his voice: "His Royal Highness King Yan, let you go and see how he broke the Song army." ”

"Song Jun, how did you get to Xijin Mansion?" Han Zirang was stunned for a moment, and then came sadness: "Your Majesty, he was ...... by Song thieves"

"Dog guts, don't forget your identity, and dare to talk about the king? How are you doing? Maybe Li Kui has been captured alive by the king. Outside the city, it was the Song army that hit Xijin Mansion, and I don't look at what place this is, this is the capital of my Great Liao, and it is also a place where Song people can come? ”

"What, Song Jun called?"

Han Zirang was suddenly frightened and said: "You can't go out of the city!" ”

"You have to say these things to Your Highness, but you can't tell our family."

The Korean capital who was brought to the city was like a dry draft, especially the filth on his body. The rules of the prison, the exquisite robe he wore before, had long been stripped by the cell boss. Now he was wearing a torn leather jacket that he didn't know had been ripped off the dead ghost's body. There is no shortage of cattle and sheep in Liao, and the price of leather jackets is very cheap.

Although the clothes are worn out and the smell is smoky, the warmth effect is still there, because the warmth is more and more smoky.

Han Zirang rushed to the edge of the city wall, and when he saw the Song army formation in the distance, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in horror: "It's Li Kui, Li Kui is here!" ”

When he was in Zhuozhou, he encountered this army with strange weapons. But the fighting power gave him the illusion of being abandoned by the gods.

He even thought of the tragic scene of the catastrophe in Xijin Mansion and the destruction of the city.

"Your Highness, going out of the city is a dead end! Your Majesty, the current plan is to close the city gate and drop the jack gate to block the city gate. It's the best policy! ”

Yelu Yanxi felt his thighs tighten, and then the pungent stench swept through his nose, almost turning him over. Only then did I find out that Han Zirang was holding his thighs and howling vigorously.

The bad luck, coupled with the smell, made him want to pull out the scimitar and give up the Korean capital to the split.

Fortunately, he is a man who lets people see his martial arts, and if he doesn't have Han Zi to let this spectator, he will be very disappointed.

Yelu Yanxi did not believe in heresy: "The Song army is only more than 10,000 people and horses. I went to attack with 30,000 elites in Daliao, where is the reason for not being invincible? ”

"But that's Li Kui!"

Han Zirang pointed in the direction of the Song army and pleaded bitterly to Yelu Yanxi: "King Yan, if the army outside the city is destroyed, the destruction of the city will be in the blink of an eye, think twice!" ”

"Bastard, I'm the prince of Da Liao, and now is the time to establish a great military might and build martial arts. How can you talk such nonsense? After speaking, Yelu Yanxi kicked away Han Zirang and yelled: "Attack!" ”

Knock knock

The snare drums on the drum tower beat, and the drum beat was as heavy as the heartbeat of the resurrection of death, hammering in the hearts of no one.

On the opposite side of the Liao army's formation, Cao Fang raised his head and looked at Li Kui and asked, "Dashuai!" ”

And next to Li Kui, there is a special battlefield observer, reporting all the information on the battlefield.

"The musketeers enter the predetermined area, the artillery is loaded, and all men are ready!"

"The musketeers enter the predetermined area."

"Artillery calibration Zhuyuan."

"Ready for a shot!"

"Five hundred feet away!"

"Four hundred zhang!"

"Into artillery range."

……

Just after entering the range of artillery, the cavalry of the Liao State also controlled the war horse from the trot, and then urged the war horse to gallop, and finally the war horse entered the running mode under the control of the knight. The speed became faster and faster, and the ground shook like a mountain, mixed with smoke and dust, and rushed towards the position of the Song army like a tsunami.

Li Kui turned his head to Hua Rong and said, "Fire!" ”

A red command flag fell, and more than three hundred artillery pieces in front of the Praetorian Guards fired in unison. not only suppressed the galloping momentum of the Liao army at once.

After a burst of black smoke, the Liao army's charging army immediately seemed to be torn apart, and the screams of people and horses were everywhere.

Especially the soldiers who fell off their horses were instantly trampled and drowned by the cavalry behind.

But at this moment, the cavalry phalanx of the Liao army seemed to be much weaker, and after gathering again, it was less than a hundred zhang away from the Song army.

The Liao army is also about to enter the range of cavalry shooting, and for the Liao army, it is strange that the Song army is standing in a row with iron rods, isn't this waiting for them to kill?

On the battlefield, the Liao people closest to the Song army could even vaguely hear the roar of the Song army's musket commander: "Raise your gun-"
