The group was in a good mood, and Cangzhou, which had not been broken for decades, was broken within seven days. However, Yelu Deguang is really a little afraid, if Fu Yanqing is allowed to open the gate and release the water, not to mention the 300,000 army, even if it is a million army, it will be scattered by the flood, and only a few can survive.

Fortunately, Yelu Bei'er suffered and begged in Cangzhou for half a year, otherwise he would not have been able to get Fu Yanqing's five-shaped formation. The most important thing is that Fu Yanqing has always called his formation a five-shaped formation, but Yelu Beier has only seen four formations for half a year, but he can't see the water array. Yeluzhen made a bold guess, so he went upstream to know the true face of the water array.

Everything was prepared, and Yelu Deguang still used the lives of 50,000 soldiers to exchange for a small Cangzhou. It doesn't seem to be worth it, but Cangzhou is the gate of the Central Plains, as long as Cangzhou is captured, the Central Plains will be broken just around the corner.

However, Cangzhou is also a hot potato, which Yelu Deguang knows very well in his heart. The Khitan army is good at field battles, and the cavalry is the strongest, and it is not good at defending the city at all. If you continue to defend in Cangzhou, I am afraid that the Central Plains army will be destroyed immediately. At that time, only the disgraced ones ran back to Daliao, so Cangzhou could not defend and could only continue to attack.

The question is which side to attack? Now Jerod must attack south, breaking through the forces one by one.

Now the strongest troops should belong to the three sides of Hezhong, Hedong and Hexi. The road to Hexi is far away, the army does not dare to advance, and the same is true in Hedong, and when the troops of both sides come to Cangzhou, they must be sleepy and lacking, and they can be broken one by one. The key lies in the power in the river, the distance in the river is very close, and it is between Cangzhou and Kaifeng, you can respond from end to end, if you want to settle the Central Plains, you must first break the river.

Moreover, Yelu Deguang knew that Li Shouzhen, the envoy of the Hezhong Jiedu, had been overthrown by Zongxin, and the new Jiedu had been in office for less than half a year, and he could not stabilize the morale of the army, so he took the Hezhong as the upper head in a straight line to the south. The follow-up troops marched in the east and west directions, dragged the two jiedu envoys in the east and west of the river, and then broke through the river one by one, and finally entered the Central Plains of Kaifeng Dingding.

"Order the three armies, slaughter the city tonight, take away all the things that can be taken, march south early tomorrow morning, leave 10,000 horses to hold Cangzhou, and as soon as the follow-up troops arrive, march to Hedong with 50,000 and 50,000 to Hexi, and fight and retreat, delaying time. As soon as the river is broken, the army will immediately reinforce. ”

"Yes. Immediately someone went down to give the order, but Jeruzhen's face was not good when he heard the order.

"Your Majesty, now we should stick to Cangzhou, take all the forces in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and then try to develop steadily and encroach on the forces of the Central Plains little by little. I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate to rush into the army. Yeluzhen is still worried about Zongxin's plan, although this plan has been cracked by Yeludeguang's unexpected move, and it is not easy to take Cangzhou, and he should not continue to go south.

Yelu Deguang waved his hand and said: "Cangzhou is a small city, but it is the gate of the Central Plains, if our army sticks to Cangzhou, I am afraid that the Central Plains will gather forces to attack, and if Cangzhou is broken, we can only flee north." It was not easy to capture Cangzhou, and we should take advantage of its unpreparedness to take the Central Plains directly. Presumably, these people didn't expect that the widow would send troops before the spring ploughing, and most people thought that the widow would not dare to go south, they believed in the monk Zongxin too much, and lost the country because of a monk, which is really ridiculous and generous. ”

Yeluzhen didn't reply, because Yelude's analysis was correct. The Khitan soldiers are not good at defending the city, even if there are more than 200,000 troops here, they may not be able to defend the Central Plains layer by layer. In fact, in a head-to-head confrontation, the Khitan army will not lose to any army, or even far superior to one of the forces, and even if the two forces merge together, the Khitan army may not be afraid.

But if the army sticks to Cangzhou, it may not be able to win one of the troops. This is the difficulty of the Khitan, only good at attacking, not good at defending, because over the years the Central Plains army has been beaten every time, so they are better at defending, while the Khitan is constantly attacking, so they are better at fighting.

Cangzhou can't hold it anymore, and Yelu Deguang's plan is not wrong. Yeluzhen also knew that he had lost his words, so he had no position to continue arguing. But Jerew really felt that it was not right, if the follow-up troops did not follow...... The army must take the river as soon as possible, otherwise it will be attacked on its back.

Yeluzhen's art of war is very good, as long as the river is captured, the river and Cangzhou are connected from end to end, any army dares to attack, it will be attacked from both sides, as long as the road is unobstructed, the grain and grass army can be called back and forth, and then the Liao army will take the initiative to attack, and the Central Plains forces will definitely be defeated and retreated.

In the early morning of the next day, nearly 250,000 Liao troops moved south, leaving 10,000 to hold Cangzhou. The river is powerful, but there are only more than 100,000 soldiers, and the city is not as strong as Cangzhou, so it is not difficult to capture the river.

The soldiers are fast, the Khitan was originally a nomadic people, good at riding and shooting, the ability of individual soldiers to fight is far better than the Central Plains, the marching speed is extremely fast, all the way through the pass and slashing a horse Pingchuan, 250,000 troops killed, ordinary civilians have long run away, and even the soldiers defending the city have some greedy for life and fear of death, almost no effort to kill directly to Weizhou in the river. Hezhong Jiedu made Murong Yanzhao stick to Weizhou, delayed with Yelu Deguang's army for nearly half a month, killed and wounded tens of thousands, and finally fled south with the remnants of 50,000 soldiers overnight, directly sending Weizhou to Yelu Deguang.

After a few days of fighting, Weizhou was finally taken. Of the 250,000 men of Jerod's army, less than 200,000 remained. However, the good news finally came, and the follow-up troops of 100,000 horses had arrived in Cangzhou and marched to the east and west of the river respectively. Yelu Deguang was in a good mood and was ready to hold on to Weizhou, let the soldiers rest for a while, and then march to the east of the river.

Jerod let the soldiers recuperate for three days.

"Report, Your Majesty, Hezhong Jiedu made Murong Yanzhao bring nearly 100,000 horsemen to the city, ready to fight me to the death. ”

Yerod frowned, and asked curiously, "Are you sure he brought 100,000 horses?"

"King Shenwu went to the city wall first, looked at the army with his eyes, and determined that it was 100,000 horses. ”

Yerod said, "This ...... Isn't this looking for death? Murong Yanzhao jumped over the wall in a hurry and actually gave me a generous gift. Ordered the three armies and prepared to go out of the city to meet the battle. ”

Yelu Deguang knew that the Khitan soldiers were good at attacking but not good at defending, and the soldiers were recuperating for three days, and they were full of physical strength, and in the past few days, they had received some Han people who had surrendered, and their troops were far superior to Murong Yanzhao, so he dared to bring less than half of his troops to send him to death?

Coming to the top of the city tower, Yelude took a closer look at these horses, and estimated well with King Shenwu, at most only 100,000, it is estimated that they were found by scraping together, and many people did not wear the military uniforms of the Han Dynasty.

Murong Yanzhao shouted loudly under the city: "Khitan dog, dare to go out of the city and die?"

Jerod laughed, and Jerod laughed. I can't imagine that the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are so ignorant, if they preserve their strength, the Khitan still takes care of it, and I can't imagine that Murong Yanzhao, as the envoy of the festival, does not know how to advance and retreat, and actually gave the lives of 100,000 soldiers in vain, isn't it a joke?

"The gates were opened, the cavalry charged, the infantry followed, and the archers prepared to release their arrows. ”

The opening of the Weizhou Gate has become a ghost gate, and all the Khitan demons that came out of it were like a sharp sword, and the cavalry rushed forward directly to kill, completely scattering Murong Yanzhao's troops, and they could not respond to each other. Immediately after that, the infantry followed, marching in orderly formation, and directly rammed into Murong Yanzhao's troops.

Just this rush and collision, Murong Yanzhao's troops became a plate of scattered sand, and then it was not a war at all, but a complete harvest, Murong Yanzhao's troops were powerless, the Khitans were too strong, their tactics were simple but very practical, and they were not strong against the Central Plains people, these tall Khitan soldiers rushed over and had no power to fight back.

Murong Yanzhao immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops and fled all the way north. You can't defend a city, let alone a siege?

Yelu Deguang ordered the pursuit, Murong Yanzhao fled to the south, and Yelu Deguang went south to capture the next city, almost without any resistance, little by little deep into the Central Plains. The rear came to report no joy, and for Yelu Deguang, this was great joy. As long as the stalemate continues, go down, and do not clash head-on with Hedong and Hexi, they have no way to deal with themselves.

In the blink of an eye, Yelu Deguang had already attacked Kaifeng City, and at this time, many flags were erected above the Kaifeng City Tower, and Murong Yanzhao led a team of men and horses to confront Yelu Deguang.

Yerod Guang couldn't help but say something, and directly attacked the city. The lone army went deep and took Kaifeng directly. There was almost no much resistance in this battle, and Kaifeng was taken very smoothly, but when Yelu Deguang entered the city, he directly attacked the palace and sat on Liu Chengyou's dragon chair with a proud face.

"Okay, well, the widows have finally captured the Central Plains forces. Quickly give the order, the three armies recuperate, and march into Hexi after they are full of energy, and then wait for Hexi to break, and the Central Plains will no longer have the strength to fight with the outnumbered. Next, we can slowly clean up the Hedong forces. ”

It was done so smoothly, it was all too smoothly done. Although there were countless casualties in the battle for days, Yeluzhen always felt that something was wrong, because this picture had appeared in his mind before. However, looking at the current situation, Dahan should not have the strength to fight again. As long as the two sides in Hedong and Hexi do not know how to divide and the remnants of the Han army are not assembled, who will dare to provoke this 200,000 wolf and tiger army in the entire Han Dynasty?

Yelu Deguang strengthened the defensive position in Kaifeng, recuperated for nearly a month, and the war reports continued for a month, and the Khitan follow-up people kept going to Cangzhou, and kept sending to Hexi and Hedong, and even did not need Yelu Deguang to fight again, and the Central Plains forces had been completely disintegrated.

So Yelu Deguang proclaimed himself emperor in Kaifeng and issued an edict to the world.

"Report ...... Guo Wei's army is coming to the city...... King Shenwu watched the enemy army of 100,000 people. ”

Yerod Guang chuckled, "Here, the widow has been waiting for him." 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they will give my army horses' hooves. ”

Yelu Deguang was not in a hurry, and walked to the north of the city in a dragon robe. It took nearly half an hour to come to Kaifeng City Tower, take a look down, and then nodded It was not much different from the soldiers and horses brought by Murong Yanzhao last time, only about 100,000.

At this time, Yelu Deguang smiled sincerely, and even Yelu Zhen smiled. What happened to the heads of this group of Han people? Every time they gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, they wanted to attack the city, for the Han people, 100,000 soldiers and horses were invincible?
