In the fourth year of the Great Song Dynasty, in 1233 AD, on the first day of the ninth month, Yanjing City.

In May of the fourth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Song Dynasty (979 AD), Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, in order to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun that was ceded to the Khitan by Shi Jingjiao of the Later Jin Dynasty in the fifth dynasty, after the Pingbei Han Dynasty in that year, without rest and preparation, he transferred his troops to attack Liao, trying to take advantage of his unpreparedness and seize Youzhou (Yanjing) in one fell swoop. The Liao army counterattacked, the Song army was attacked on three sides, and suddenly there was a great chaos, the whole line retreated, more than 10,000 people died, and Song Taizong fled in a donkey cart. The Liao army pursued to Zhuozhou.

In the battle of Youzhou, the Song army was defeated, and the pace of unification came to an abrupt end, and in the following more than 100 years, due to the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun, it was always at a military disadvantage.

Jurchen arose, destroyed the Liao and Song Dynasty, won the Central Plains, set Yanjing City as the central capital, doubled the expansion of the original Yanjing, the circumference was more than 50 miles, the city was more than four zhang high, the city was thick and the pond was deep, even the important town of Taiyuan in the east of the river was far inferior, it can be said that it was the first important town of the two rivers.

Under the morning light, Yanjing City Guard General Kou Wen Buhua, Eastern Liao Army Commander Yelu Gangu, Hebei Han Army Wanhu Shi Tianze's brother Shi Tianan, Lianghe Zhongshu Province Xianggong Yelu Chucai and other Yanjing military and political officials and entourage have gone to the south city wall, Siye Ye Ye looked at the four fields, many of them were sinking like water, and their hearts were heavy.

Around Yanjing City, it is densely packed with the camp tents of the Song army. The camp of the Song army was well organized, the "Song" character in the camp was displayed, and the soldiers of the Song army continued to drill out of the camp tent to assemble, and it seemed that they were going to attack the city.

Outside the camp, the fences and ditches of the Song army are integrated with the arrow towers in the camp, and the fortifications are complete.

Outside the camp, countless cavalry of the Song army roamed, they were sturdy and well-armoured, and they were obviously well-trained warriors.

Outside the thirteen city gates of Yanjing City, the Song army gathered heavy troops on both sides of the southwest, and countless artillery pieces were deployed around the city. It seems that they did not want to besiege Yanjing City to death, but chose to let the Mongol army withdraw, and then occupied Yanjing City.

With the sound of drums, countless Song troops came out of the camp, and they assembled outside the camp, one by one the phalanxes were neat, like countless rectangles, and the cavalry was boundless to protect the east and west wings. The knights of the Song army rode their horses and shouted in the big formation, as if they were mobilizing before the battle.

Autumn is high and cool, the grass grows and the horses are fat, it is the time when the Mongolian iron cavalry is sweeping the world and wantonly plundering, no one thought that the weak southerners would take the initiative to go north.

It seems that the vicious battles in the northwest frontier have completely stimulated the blood and courage of the southerners.

Yelu Chucai's gaze searched in the Song army's array, trying to find that familiar figure, but in the end he withdrew his gaze in disappointment, and his heart was a little lighter.

It seems that Emperor Zhao Hong of the Song Dynasty is not in the Song army's array, and it seems that he did not drive the expedition in person.

As soon as Lin'an said goodbye, Yelu Chucai was deeply impressed by Zhao Hong. Now that there is no Song Emperor Zhao Hong in charge, Yelu Chucai subconsciously feels that the pressure is not so great, but he is also a little disappointed.

Xu himself set up envoys or appeasement envoys all the way, Emperor Song wouldn't be open-mouthed, right?

"How can the southerners have so many cavalry?"

The commander of the Eastern Liao, Yelu Gangu, looked at the boundless cavalry of the Song army outside the city, and couldn't hold back his heartbeat.

The Northern Expedition of the Song Army, the large army is coming to the city, why hasn't anyone secretly communicated with him?

Do you want him to lead his troops to defect?

"The southerners have got the land to raise horses in Hexi, and of course there is no shortage of cavalry."

Shi Tianan, the second brother of Shi Tianze, Wanhu of the Hebei Han Army, also frowned.

The Song army is strong, and after this battle, I don't know how many casualties will be killed or injured under his command?

"There are many Song dog cavalry, is there less cavalry in our army? See the real chapter on the battlefield and see who is the bad seed! ”

Zhang Rou's eldest son, Zhang Hongyan, hated a word.

His father, Zhang Rou of the Hebei Han Army, was assassinated by the Song people, and he was full of hatred for the Song people.

"Zhang Hongyan is right! There is an old saying among the Han people, the first strike is the strongest, and the second strike suffers! Today, outside this Yanjing City, kill Song Gou and drive them out of Hebei! ”

The mouth is warm and full of confidence.

Under the rain of arrows and the impact of the Mongolian iron cavalry, the cavalry of the Song army was scattered, just in one go, breaking the large array of the Song army.

"The mouth is warm, you sit in the town to defend the city, I will now use all the cavalry to destroy these Song dogs outside the city!"

Temutai stroked his chest and asked for orders.

The Song army was strong and strong, the cavalry was overwhelming, and the Mongolian iron cavalry would be able to disperse the Song army's large array, defeat the Song army's large array, and torture and kill at will.

"Marshal, the Song army is powerful and will not be vulnerable. Or defend the city, don't be reckless! ”

Yelu Chucai was worried, and hurriedly persuaded him.

The fifty or sixty thousand cavalry of each department in Yanjing City will not come out of the nest, right?

Since he saw the powerful national strength of the Song people, he already had a trace of natural psychological fear of the Song Dynasty and the combat power of the Song army.

"Yelu Chucai, you take care of your taxes. You don't have to worry about marching and fighting. ”

The mouth temperature was not dazzling, and he didn't care about Yelu Chucai's worries, and it also seemed to cheer up his subordinate generals.

Cowardice before fighting, how can this battle continue?

"Marshal, the Song army outside the city, although there are a lot of cavalry on both wings, but the front is too long and too thin, you can rely on the heavy cavalry to attack, the light cavalry from the two wings, the rain of arrows kills, forcing the Song cavalry to disperse and break the Song army's large array."

Temutai was full of ambition, he pointed out of the city, and reported to his mouth without flowers.

"Temutai, the Song army's artillery is fierce, don't charge head-on first, first attack the cavalry of the Song army from both flanks, and force it to break up on its own."

The mouth temperature is not flowery, and he solemnly admonished.

"Zhang Hongyan, Yelu Gangu, Shi Tianan, and Temutai four cavalry attacked. Zhang Hongyan's troops and Shi Tian'an's troops went out of the west gate and attacked the left flank of the Song cavalry. Temutai and Yelu Gubu went out from the east gate and attacked the cavalry on the right flank of the Song army. After the charge begins, light the wolf smoke and let Gosar attack the rear of the Song army from the south! ”

The mouth temperature does not take the sand general, and it is arranged one by one in an orderly manner.

Field impact, what can the Song army do to me? If you don't rush, how do you know the strength of the Song army?

"Obey!"

"Obey!"

Kou Wen Buhua passed down the military order, Yelu Ganggu, Shi Tianan and others received orders one after another, arranged for the generals under their command to go down to prepare, and the generals left with Temutai.

Yelu Gangu and others are all commanders of the first army, and it is impossible to charge the battle by themselves, and they have their own generals in the army to do it for them.

"Marshal, tens of thousands of cavalry charging into battle is not trivial, isn't it too reckless?"

Yelu Gu's heart was frightened, and he said cautiously.

His 10,000 Eastern Liao cavalry, but the lifeblood of Eastern Liao, cannot be cut off here.

Shi Tianan's brows were furrowed, but he didn't say anything, and his eyes swept to his mouth.

"Subutai said that in the first battle of Hanzhong, the defeat was lost in the division of troops and charging into battle. Therefore, this time it is necessary to concentrate the cavalry and break the Song army's large array in one fell swoop, and we must not make the previous mistakes again. ”

It seems that he firmly believes in the combat power of the Mongolian iron cavalry.

"That's what the marshal said! Ten thousand cavalry rushed into battle, heavy cavalry rushed forward, and light cavalry rained down waves of arrows, see how long Song Dog can last? ”

Zhang Hongyan echoed loudly, and his mouth was warm.

Shi Tian'an and Yelu Gugu glanced at each other, but they were silent.

Kou Wen Buhua is the commander of the Mongolian army in Yanjing City, his military orders, do they dare to disobey?

"Yelu Chucai, calm down. The Song army came, and fifty or sixty thousand Mongolian iron horsemen couldn't defend the city. ”

Yelu Chucai and other civil officials saw the panic in their eyes, and they didn't say a word softly.

He could see clearly on the city wall that most of the Song army outside the city was gathered outside the southern city, with 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry in the whole army, protecting the left and right wings of the Song army's large array.

It was useless for the Mongolian cavalry to stay in the city, and it was at that time that they went out of the city to attack the Song army's array. Moreover, the Mongol army dominated the world, relying on the impact ability of the Mongol iron cavalry. Wouldn't it be great if he could defeat the Song army's great array in one fell swoop.

In other words, even if the Mongol cavalry could not win, they could retreat freely with their mobility.

Even if the cavalry is defeated and defends the city, even if the Song army attacks the city with all its might, there are still 80,000 foot soldiers stationed in Yanjing City, and under Yanjing City, it is the tomb of the Song army.

Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze are the two largest Han armies in Hebei, each with tens of thousands of subordinates, Shi Tianze has many soldiers and horses, stationed in Zhending Mansion, and only 10,000 cavalry to assist in Yanjing City.

Although Zhang Rou was assassinated, his son Zhang Hongyan abandoned Baozhou and reinforced Yanjing with 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers.

As for the Eastern Liao, the soldiers were strong and strong, with the same 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers.

Coupled with the 20,000 Han troops in Yanjing City, 80,000 foot soldiers defending the city, more than 50,000 cavalry to defend, and 1340,000 troops, there is still some confidence in the mouth and temperature.

"Marshal, my more than 40,000 Mongolian iron cavalry will attack the cavalry formation of the Song army, and I will definitely be able to return triumphantly."

The commander of the Eastern Liao Army, Yelu Gu, said with a smile.

He secretly scolded his mother in his heart, in this way, he would really have to be a head-on enemy with the Song army.

"Marshal, when the Song army is defeated, I will take the cavalry out again, kill the Song dog and bleed like a river, and vent the evil spirit in my chest!"

Zhang Hongyan was full of interest and added a sentence.

Yelu Gu smiled bitterly and was silent, Shi Tianan was silent, and still did not say anything.

"Yelu Gu, you just wait to see how the Song army is crushed!"

The mouth is warm and smiling, calm and composed. The ordinary scholars on the city wall looked at each other and were speechless.

Militarily, the Mongolian generals are in charge of the situation, and these civilian officials have no right to intervene at all. Now we can only hope that the Song army is vulnerable.

"The Song army has an army of more than 100,000 people, and it almost came from all over the country. The soldier dragon is fierce and fierce, although the ancient tiger is not as good! They came to the city and surrounded Yanjing City, obviously coming prepared. This is to capture Yanjing City with an iron heart! Looks a little bad! Oh no! ”

Zhao Fang, the deputy tax envoy of Yanjing, muttered to himself.

With a "snap", Zhao Fang screamed miserably, and received a whip on his face.

"What howl do you have in Gnion? Get out of here! Get lost! ”

With a warm mouth and a roar, Zhao Fang covered his face, staggered, and fled the city wall in a hurry.

"Useless sour! It's useless! ”

He scolded with a black face, and then turned his head and looked out of the city.

Yelu Chucai, Chen Shike and other officials were speechless, but their hearts were full of humiliation.

The phrase "sour Confucian" that does not take a warm mouth seems to poke at everyone's already numb hearts.

Yelu Gugu looked at the mouth and looked out of the city.

The reason why the mouth is warm and angry seems to be too stressful. It seems that this must be a fierce battle.

There was silence on the city wall, I don't know how long it took, Zhang Hongyan pointed to the east and west city gates, and said loudly.

"Marshal, our army is out of the city!"

All the people on the city wall were in good spirits and looked towards the east and west gates together.

The city gate of the east and west of Yanjing opened, countless Mongolian cavalry fish ran out of the city gate, they crossed the moat, the mountains were all over the mountains, the large array of behemoths gathered, extended to the north to the side of the Gaoliang River, and spread out of the east city wall to the south, the horses were crowded in the sky, overwhelming, dazzling.

"Blow the trumpet, beat the drums and cheer!"

The mouth temperature does not take to pass down the military order loudly, and the drums and horns on the head of the city are contending, which is breathtaking.

"General, the Tatar cavalry went out of the city from the east and west gates, each with tens of thousands of horsemen, and it seems that they are going to attack the cavalry on the left and right flanks of our army!"

The left and right wings of the Song army cavalry command flags waved, the Chinese army camp, on the high ground, the flag officer saw it clearly, and came up to report to the Song army commander Meng Heng.

"Wei Jinyu, the Tatar cavalry on the left flank, I'll leave it to you! Li Tang, the right wing is yours! ”

Meng Hui, the commander of the Song army, gave a loud order.

Li Tang and Wei Jinyu took the order and left, Meng Heng's face was solemn, and he passed the military order.

"Pass the order, all arms for war!"

As soon as it came up, tens of thousands of cavalry attacked, and this big battle outside Yanjing City may determine the fate of the two countries, which can be recorded in history.

On the east and west fields of Yanjing City, after the Mongolian cavalry assembled five miles away from the east and west flanks of the Song army's array, 10,000 horses slowly galloped forward, facing each other from east to west, with smoke and dust billowing and mercury pouring on the ground, heading straight for the Song army's array.

Perhaps it was because of the fear of the firearms of the Song army, the cavalry of the Mongolian army beat the horses and marched slowly, and gradually, the distance between the horses and the horses widened, and the cavalry formation lengthened and widened, becoming extremely large, and there was no end in sight.

As the Mongolian army rode forward, the speed of their horses slowly accelerated, from east to west, from west to east, in both directions, the war horses galloped, like an unstoppable flood, all over the mountains, full of densely swaying human heads and horses' heads, smoke and dust rolling, the ground trembled, and the riding stream was boundless, sweeping everything in the wilderness.

The Mongolian generals such as Yelu and the ancient Yelu Chucai on the city wall were all wide-eyed, and many of them had flushed faces and sweaty palms.

"Our army is elite, and Song Dog will look good later!"

Zhang Hongyan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

When the Song army is defeated and wantonly rushes and kills, you can avenge your father.

Yelu Gugu looked out of the city and was relieved. Song Jun, it won't be vulnerable, right?

"Nearly 100,000 iron cavalry rushed into battle, this battle is related to the national fortune of the two countries, enough to go down in history and be remembered for eternity!"

Yelu Chucai let out a long sigh faintly.

For some reason, he always had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and he always felt that the Mongol army was unlikely to win the war.

"Light the wolf smoke!"

The temperature of the mouth did not change, the complexion remained unchanged, and he was not in a hurry, and shouted loudly, showing the demeanor of a famous general.

He has always been confident in the power of the Mongolian Iron Horse.
