With bayonets in front and grenades overhead, even the powerful Leather Chamber Army had to temporarily avoid the edge.

After all, whether it is the Praetorian Guard or the Feilian Army, they are all soldiers selected from the Fourth Army and the Beijing Battalion. Let's not talk about the Fourth Army, the Son of Heaven is pro-army, starting from the selection of soldiers on one meter eight, and the crossbowmen must reach one meter nine, that is, when recruiting soldiers, those who are less than five feet seven in height are eliminated. The forbidden army recruited by the Great Song Dynasty had height and strength requirements everywhere.

The worst forbidden army also needs to be 1.7 meters tall, that is, 5 feet 3 inches. But these are the recruitment standards of the local forbidden army, and the Beijing camp and the upper fourth army are undoubtedly the most stringent recruitment and assessment armies in the Great Song Dynasty.

Such an average height is very deterrent for the Khitans, who are not themselves characterized by their height.

As soon as the two armies collided together, the Praetorian Guard showed a strong advantage.

On the one hand, there is superiority in weapons, which is beyond doubt.

On the other hand, the deterrent effect of height is also devastating.

Yang Zhi danced the bloodless family heirloom sword, wearing armor, and rushed to kill the Liao army like a god of war, and soon controlled the Liao people's chariot defense line. At the moment when he was about to stabilize the defensive line, Li Kui rushed up, pointed at Yang Zhi with a blade on his war horse and said, "Charge on all fronts, run over me!" ”

After speaking, he held the war horse between his legs and crossed into the Liao army.

A thousand heavy cavalry behind him was like a scimitar with a tall weapon, cutting into the ribs of the Liao army. The commander took the lead, and for a time the Song army was greatly invigorated and counterattacked on all fronts.

Xiao Changge, who seemed to have recovered some advantages from the battlefield before, found that the Song army had attacked on all fronts, and it was as easy as a bamboo. He was dumbfounded, commanding the soldiers and horses to fight back? But it is not easy to counterattack, the Song army has cavalry, infantry, and complete equipment, but the Liao army only has a single branch, and there is no good way to counterattack.

In addition, it is still in the Liao army barracks, and there are obstacles everywhere, affecting the sprint of the war horse.

Of course, small-scale cavalry is not a problem, but the scene of tens of thousands of cavalry at every turn is really untenable in the camp.

"Resist, hold on!"

Brother Xiao Chang was in a hurry, his army of 30,000 was about to be killed by the Song army, if he said it, would he still have the face to lead the leather room army?

"Brother Xiao, no, let's retreat and keep Your Majesty, that is, you and me."

Yelu Chen's slave is much calmer than Xiao Changge, and for him, the defeat is at most snubbed by Emperor Yelu Hongji, but after all, he is a royal family member and a hegemon.

He is more decisive than Brother Xiao Chang, and at the same time he has enough confidence to withstand the emperor's anger. Anyway...... Nanjing Road was defeated on all fronts, and in the end, he must have taken the blame.

If something happens to the emperor and he dies in the barracks, he will definitely have to worry about his life.

But if the emperor retreats safely, it has little to do with him.

If he doesn't become the king of the Southern Courtyard, isn't he the prince of Liao?

"Keep Your Majesty's ......"

Brother Xiao Chang woke up at this time, he was originally controlled by the previous battle situation, and then he said gratefully: "Yes, that's right." We immediately went to the Chinese army camp. ”

King's Tent.

Yelu Hongji roared: "I won't leave, I have been on the throne for more than forty years, and I have never been so humiliated, you let him come, see if he dares to kill me!" ”

Yeluhonki was hysterically angry, but his body was very honestly at the mercy of the people around him, and he put on silk clothes and armor, and was surrounded by people and boarded the king's chariot.

When he turned around, he saw the flames in the company camp, and he couldn't help but cry, and said sadly: "God doesn't bless Da Liao, God doesn't bless Da Liao!" ”

After speaking, he was helped into the car.

"The guards protect Your Majesty, and they will not stop for a moment until they enter the Xijin Mansion."

In Xiao Changge's opinion, Xijin Mansion has tall city walls, 60,000 soldiers and horses left behind by the imperial grandson, and enough food and ordnance. Even the 20,000 Song army, even if it doesn't count casualties, can't be attacked.

At this time, Yelu Chen's slave insisted on staying, and said to Brother Xiao Chang: "You and I have to go, and there can't be no one around Your Majesty." ”

"I, there is King Lao!"

When he said this, Brother Xiao Chang was a little astringent, and his tone was a little stalky. See the truth in adversity!

With his hands clenched into fists on his chest, Xiao Changge ninja clenched his fists to Yelu Chen's slave and said, "King, take care." ”

"Please also escort Your Majesty thoughtfully, the Chen family slave died without regrets."

Yelu Chen Jianu was also in a heavy mood. He couldn't figure out why Daliao's most elite leather room army was so vulnerable. But in fact, these are all traces, the Liao State was defeated at the hands of Li Yuanhao of Western Xia, and it has not had a military setback for nearly 50 years.

Moreover, Li Yuanhao's 500,000 army could not be defeated at first in the face of the 100,000 Liao army, and he used intrigue and trickery to defeat the Liao army. This defeat is reluctant to be admitted within the Liao State.

So much so that it is not a day or two that the Liao army thinks that it is invincible in the world.

Strong confidence, but suffered setbacks one after another, and these setbacks were sent by the Song army, which they looked down on the most.

In particular, the Song army was only 20,000 horses.

If it is said that the battle of Yishui, the Liao army can still explain it because of Han Junyi's incompetence. In the battle of Qingheyuan, the Liao State had no reason to accept the result of defeat.

But after two engagements, the Liao army found that not only could they not defeat the Song army, but they would also be defeated by the weak Song army.

This is no longer as simple as defeat, but the collapse of the psychological defense.

This kind of collapse is like a gust of wind, which can blow through the entire Liao army camp in an instant. It even rose to the top after the escape of Emperor Yelu Hongji.

Don't look at the appearance that Brother Xiao Chang took Yelu Hongji with him and waited for the troops, but they were only in the early 10,000s.

That's because the soldiers in the other barracks are in disarray, and it is not possible to rectify and restore confidence in a day or two. Bringing these moraleless soldiers with them will not only do Yeluhongki no good, but will bring greater hidden dangers.

After Yelu Hongji left, Yelu Chen's slave did not take too many countermeasures.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.

The Song army was like a vicious wolf that broke into the sheepfold, pounced everywhere. Everywhere they went, the Liao army fled for their lives like frightened sheep.

"Erect the banner of the king!"

Yelu Chen Jianu saw that the time was almost up, and began to prepare for his own plan to withdraw his troops.

Retreat is not an easy task, but a technical one.

If you don't play well, you may be wiped out.

If you are really an experienced person, you can play with flowers.

Yelu Chen's slave had not many means at his disposal, and if he retreated with his personal guards, in the midst of the chaos, when he was unlucky, he would run into the Song army, which might be tragic. But with one or two thousand horses, or even more, he had room to move.

"Order, the rear army defended. For the sake of Da Liao, stop the Song army at all costs. ”

Two hours later, Li Kui watched from afar the last handsome banner of the Liao army on the battlefield and headed towards the east. I was a little unwilling in my heart, but there was nothing I could do.

The Liao army was cavalry, or light cavalry.

In the wilderness, using Li Yun's heavy cavalry to pursue the light cavalry's leather chamber army will definitely not last long. In addition, the Fei Lian army has been fighting for a long time, and it has long been sleepy. Even if Li Kui wants to pursue, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue.

As a last resort, Li Kui ordered on his horse: "After collecting the prisoners, the whole army will rest." ”

On the other hand, Renduo Baozhong faced the resistance of the Liao army, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to suffer too many losses. He can see that although the Renduo tribe has been treated preferentially after entering the Song Dynasty. But the Renduo army, with too many losses, will definitely be unsustainable. This was determined by the population of his tribe, and there were so many people in total that only twenty thousand troops could be formed.

If you die one, you will have one less, and if you die more, his Renduo army will be an ornament.

The main reason was that the Renduo army did not accept the replenishment of Song recruits.

This is not something that Renduo Baozhong can decide alone, of course, if there is more Song Jun, can his Renduo Army still be Renduo Army?

Although Renduo Baozhong is willing to believe that Li Kui can create miracles, after all, he has also fought with Li Kui at the beginning. Although he was already the commander of the Western Xia side at that time, even if he was the commander who had been suppressed by Liang Yishu, he was also the commander of the side who could command tens of thousands of horses, or even 100,000 horses. And Li Kui was just an unknown person at that time.

It was that battle that made the world know this pseudo-scholar of the Great Song Dynasty.

It also allowed him to see the madness of the scholar.

But even so, Renduo Baozhong was unwilling to entrust the future of his tribe to Li Kui.

Even if he followed the Liao army in pursuit, if the Liao people wanted to fight him desperately, he would still choose a conditional retreat. He did this for the Great Song Emperor, not for Li Kui.

Strangely, the Liao army did not look like they were going to fight him. On the contrary, he has been using the means of harassment to make him uneasy. Other than that, there is no danger.

"Father, the second uncle took people to the Liao army camp."

When Ren Duo Baozhong heard this, he immediately became furious and said angrily: "Bastard, didn't I tell him not to easily provoke a war? ”

Captive!

Or self-preservation!

Surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, this is a means for Renduo to keep loyal to the tribe for the continuation of the tribe, if he can't protect the tribe in the Great Song Dynasty, what is the point of surrendering the Great Song Dynasty?

"Brother, you really shouldn't be like this, the Liao people are all guts and bandits, and they have already been scared away by us."

Renduo Baozhong hurried to the Liao army camp and found that the building was empty, and there was no shadow of anyone for a long time. As for what his brother said, what he said and would not believe what the Liao State said without guts and bandits.

In fact, Renduo Baozhong felt that the Liao army's leather room army was still very combative, and 5,000 men and horses dared to stop his 20,000 horses.

Although there were no big battles, there were several small battles, and Ren Duo had to be vigilant.

If the other party really works hard, he won't get any benefit.

After all, the main force of the Liao army still has 60,000 or 70,000 horses, which is several times his strength.

Da-da-da-da

A team of cavalry with hundreds of war horses galloped into sight, and then a young general jumped out of the war horse led by him, and walked in, exuding a strong fishy smell on his body, this is a general who has just come down from the battlefield. I saw that the other party came to Renduo Baozhong, bowed down and said, "Dare to ask Renduojie's envoy." ”

"Ben Shuai is."

"Deputy commander of the cavalry of the Feilian Army, Zhang Chuan. Passing on the military order of the marshal, Renduo Bao Zhong personally led the men and horses of the headquarters to pursue the remnants of the Liao Army. ”

"What?" Renduo Baozhong was suddenly shocked and asked, "The Liao army has been defeated?" ”

"That's right, defeated!"

"But the Liao army has 60,000 or 70,000 horses, and there are only a few people around Li Dashuai?"

"The Feilian Army and the Praetorian Guard are all first-class strong armies in the world, and it is enough to deal with tens of thousands of horses." If it was a few years ago, Zhang Chuan would definitely not have this face. He was already satisfied that he could follow Li Kui and make some contributions. But now, one big victory after another, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has no one in his eyes.

Anyway, there is not much in his eyes, and he is more loyal.

Besides, at the beginning, Renduobao's loyal soldiers went out of Youzhou, and the sword pointed directly at Jinmingzhai. At that time, the main general of Jinmingzhai was Zhang Chuan and his father Zhang Yu, who was almost killed by Renduo Baozhong, and it was understandable that they did not deal with it.

Zhang Chuan's eyes swept over everyone and asked: "The marshal also has an order, ordering the Hebei army to be stationed in Zhuozhou immediately, build a city gate and other defenses, and wait for the army to be stationed." ”

……

It was originally a confidential matter, but because the military discipline of the Western Xia army was relatively loose, the soldiers of the Feilian Army and the Ninghua Army who accompanied the army soon heard the news, and Liu Fa, who came in a hurry, shouted outside: "I want to see the envoy of Ren Duojiedu, let me in!" ”

Renduo Baozhong waved his hand and asked his son Renduoyan to pick up Liu Fa.

For this Liu Fa, Renduo Baozhong is also a big head. I didn't say anything if I was bold, and I was stunned, and I dared to offend Antun.

Originally, An Dan took Wang Jin and other infantry to retreat to Yishui, which seemed to be a safe way, but it made his small commander dissatisfied, and shouted: "They are the generals of Hedong, and they are not under the control of the Hebei army." ”

Enough to make Ann angry. But there is nothing to be done, if Zhang Dian is here, Liu Fa's life may be lost. But An Dian really didn't dare to give Li Kui eye medicine openly, if he really did, he couldn't beat him, and he couldn't scold him, even compared to the backstage, he was not as good as others. How to make Anton hard?

Sure enough, after Liu Fa came, he looked at the empty camp and said loudly to Renduo Baozhong: "Renduo Jie Du Envoy, my old Liu has already said that the Liao army is wrong, you don't believe it, you look at the great opportunity, let the Liao army run away, right?" ”

Renduo Baozhong snorted coldly and didn't talk.

"This brother is familiar, dare to ask?"

"Fei Lianjun Zhang Chuan."

Liu Fa had a rude personality, slapped his thigh and shouted: "I knew that he was a good man in the Fei Lian Army, by the way, I am Liu Fa, your father is Deputy Marshal Zhang, and we were captains in the army together." ”

As soon as Liu Fa opened his mouth, he put himself on top of his uncles. But the problem is that Zhang Chuan is the front finger of the Jingying Palace, and he saw the third level of the local forbidden army. The official rank is much higher than Liu Fa, and this uncle can't say anything.

Zhang Chuan's face was a little dark, and he changed the topic: "Have you contacted Daizhou?" ”

"Daizhou sent a horse of Praetorian Guard's ammunition, saying that it can only be dismantled by the Praetorian Guard, and he is carrying it with the army." Liu Fa was about to pull Zhang Chuan to see it while he spoke, but Zhang Chuan also followed.

The Praetorian Guard's ammunition had been almost exhausted, and if there was no replenishment, Li Kui planned to retreat to Zhuozhou.

Then build the city and wait for the next year to go to war.

But with ammunition it's different.

Seeing that it was indeed the ammunition of the Praetorian Guard, Zhang Chuan suddenly anxiously pulled Liu Fa and prepared to rush back overnight.

But Liu Fa was a little worried: "Brother Zhang, doesn't my general know that there is a military order?" ”

Liu Fa is Mi Yun's general, and after saying a few words, he brought the topic to Mi Yun. He came to the Feilian Army only on secondment, and when he went to the Ninghua Army, he had the opportunity to take charge of the whole army. After all, Mi Yun is old, maybe in a few years, he Liu Fa will have the opportunity to command a military horse. Now that he has made great achievements in Yishui, this possibility has become nine out of ten.

Compared with his status in the Fei Lian Army, he prefers to be the master of the army.

"The Feilian Army is stationed in Daizhou, and the Ninghua Army can send troops to attack Tongzhou. I'm afraid that the other armies will gather in Zhuozhou for the New Year, after all, the situation in Yanzhou is unknown, and I am afraid it will be difficult to attack it. ”

Zhang Chuan said cautiously, Yanzhou is the Xijin Mansion of the Liao State, the Nanjing City of the Liao State, and the largest capital of the Liao State.

Because of the small number of soldiers, the situation of capturing the remnants of the leather room army on the battlefield was not good, and the Liao army that retreated into Xijin Mansion, it may not be easy for this city to be attacked.

The Song army was able to control Zhuozhou, which was already the best result.

After escaping for the night, Yelu Hongji spent the night in the carriage, and shortly after dawn the next day, the remnants of the leather room army arrived outside the city of Xijin Province.

Maybe the people are sleepy, and no one thinks that the end of the official road is not the city gate, but the city wall.

When it was discovered, the Liao army was once again in chaos like a frightened bird.

Yelu Hongji stood behind the chariot, looked at the bare city wall, rubbed his eyes, thought he hadn't woken up, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm old, I'm old, I'm dazzled, I can't even see such a big hole in the city gate." ”

But when he found out that the city gate was really gone, his face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't hold back the depression for days, and fell out of the car: "The sky is going to kill me!" ”

In the palace city of Xijin Mansion, the imperial grandson Yelu Yanxi heard that there were more than 10,000 leather room troops outside the city, and then ran towards the gate for some reason.

Yelu Yanxi didn't care about it before, but after waking up, he realized it and said, "Take me to see it." ”
