Once the cavalry loses its impact, it is like a tiger having its claws pulled out.

And the Great Song infantry has always been known for their good fighting.

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty craftsmen were excellent, and all kinds of siege equipment emerged in an endless stream, so the Great Liao never fought positional battles with the Song people, they always relied on the mobility of the cavalry to roar, whistling away, and waiting until the Song people were weak before suddenly launching a fatal blow.

For more than 100 years, the Liao people have been playing like this.

But now, the situation has changed.

Without waiting for the Great Liao Iron Cavalry to sweep past the wingers, the weapons of the Song people destroyed the cavalry formation, and then the Song soldiers did not even give them the speed to react, and the Great Song infantry rushed over as if they had eaten an aphrodisiac, and then there was a meal of swords and guns.

The Liao people were shocked......

What the is going on?

In the rear army, the commander of the Liao army began to let the rest of the cavalry start to attack, preparing to disperse the offensive of the Song people - the Liao people even felt that the Song people were really in a hurry, even stupid to the point of being in a hurry. No matter how fierce the foot soldiers are, can they kill the arrow array and wash the ground? The Great Song Dynasty's hundred-step crossbow and arrow array are so powerful that even the Liao army does not dare to face each other head-on!

When the so-called artillery can wash the ground, it should actually be firing a salvo with an arrow array! And now, they are rushing out on foot, and the arrow array can no longer be used, otherwise even the friendly troops will be slandered together.

Now, it's time to rescue your allies!

But when the Liao army began to charge for the second time, first a group of foot soldiers with short spears on their backs rushed out from both sides and stood still a hundred paces away, and then the iron spears flew down like rain!

The heavy iron spear had no problem with defense at all.

As long as you are stabbed, it will be useless!

Without waiting for the Liao cavalry to come back to their senses, the Great Song Dynasty arrow array and crossbow array that they had been thinking about for a long time finally began to exert their might...... The improved range of the crossbow has been increased to cover the cavalry lineup in the rear!

The dense rain of arrows like a sandstorm covered it, and the Northern Liao cavalry suffered countless casualties!

So far......

The battle is decided.

......

In the autumn of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the battle of Datong Mansion was a battle, and the Song army was a big Keliao army iron horse!

The historian used words such as "Da Ke" and "Iron Cavalry" to summarize the counteroffensive against the Liao State in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty. Lu Yuan could imagine the appearance of the historian excitedly swinging his face when he wrote these words in ink at that time. The strategic significance of the defeat of Datong Mansion is far greater than its tactical significance.

This battle directly shattered the last self-esteem of the Liao people.

They were shocked to find that not only were the Jurchen tribes in the white waters of Montenegro too strong, but even the Song people, who had always been weak in the south, had become porcupines armed to the teeth.

The north and the south can't beat it, and it's so sad that they are caught in the middle!

However, the Great Song Dynasty would not take care of the mood of the Liao people, in fact, the more the Liao people cried, the happier the Song people became. After the army of the Great Song Dynasty was beaten out of self-confidence and prestige by the martial soldiers, the army was like fire, spreading throughout the north, and successively conquered Datong Mansion, Zhejin Mansion and other important places.

And the Liao army ...... I found that I couldn't stop the steel torrent of the Great Song Dynasty at all!

The war has entered a strange situation.

After four years of development, Da Song suddenly found that the neighbors around him ...... It seems to be so weak, it doesn't need to be fought at all! War will promote people's wildness, and the Great Song Dynasty infantry raged in the north with a wild force, if it weren't for Lu Yuan's restraint, I was afraid that those grandsons would be able to kill the demonic nature.

After half a year of campaigning, the land of Yanyun was subdued, and the Great Song offensive was temporarily stopped.

When the Western Xia, the Liao State and even the Jurchen tribes were paralyzed by fright, the Song army itself stopped.

Really...... Caught with one's pants down!

Then, the relieved Liao State, Western Xia, and even the Jurchen Jin State began to submit a submission form, willing to call the Great Song Dynasty brothers, and the Liao State even canceled the annual tribute......

......

Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing City.

Now in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, there is a strong wind of seeking war, that is, no matter how conservative and peaceful people are, they dare not jump out to talk about peace at this time, and they don't even dare to say that they will postpone the offensive. However, when the situation was very good, when the national division of the dynasty led the Great Song Dynasty to prosperity and strength, and let the legendary figure of the Great Song Dynasty even fight Lianke, Lu Yuan - ask for a truce!

This made it a little difficult for the people of the Great Song Dynasty to accept.

The humiliation of being oppressed by Liao Gou completely erupted under the stimulation of the war, and the entire capital was filled with a hot and dry fire, as if it could explode at one point!

At this juncture, Lu Yuan asked for a truce.

Many admirers of Lu Yuan said that whatever the national teacher said, that is, some people expressed concern that the national teacher was worried that the expansion of the territory would be too large, which would make Lu Yuan lose his life, and some remained silent, thinking about the deep intention of Lu Yuan's move. Even some remarks attacking Lu Yuan were rejected by Lu Yuan's supporters.

At this time, the prestige displayed by Lu Yuan silenced the government and the opposition.

......

On the streets of Bianjing, Lu Yuan has become a middle-aged man with three long beards and noodles, and in less than five years, Lu Yuan seems to be ten years old.

However, Zhang Dian was nourished by Lu Yuan's many spiritual tea herbs, and he became older and stronger.

When the two stood together, they finally stopped doing the same.

Zhang Dian is dressed in brown, loose and elegant, and his temperament is more peaceful, while Lu Yuan next to him, dressed in green clothes, his temperament is still elegant, and the image of middle age makes him much calmer, and his temperament is more and more charming.

Zhang Dian asked, "Changxiu, there is nothing to look at?"

The atmosphere of the Song Dynasty was relatively open, and Zhang Dian himself once hooked up with the concubines of his elders.

So hooking up with a little lady to go home to warm the bed from the road was also very common in the Song Dynasty, of course, just don't let people know.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "When they are the teachers of the country, they can't sleep." ”

"Hahahaha......" Zhang Dian laughed out loud, and when he finished laughing, Zhang Dian asked: "Chang Xiu, why did you stop the offensive? Now that my Great Song Dynasty is in full strength, I can completely attack the Great Liao! Destroy its country! What a great achievement!"

Lu Yuan's face was relaxed: "Can the Song people raise war horses? Can the Song people raise iron horses stronger than the Liao people?"

Zhang was stunned.

"Land is very important, but it is enough to recover the Yanyun Iron Pass as a moat to resist the north. Let the Liao people give me the Great Song Dynasty horses and cavalry...... Not only the Liao State, but also the poor mountains and bad waters of Western Xia, there is really nothing to want, but people are resources, so put them into the army and go on an expedition to open up the wasteland. ”

"Further south, the countries of South Vietnam can be used as a grain storehouse, Zihou you know, where the rice can be harvested three times a year. ”

Zhang Dian nodded, his family is from Fujian, Fujian rice is harvested twice a year, and the weather is hotter in previous years, so the rice is more ripe, which is also a natural reason.

These truths were even published in the newspapers and periodicals of the "Way of Nature" where Lu Yuan was.

What is Nature's Way?

——The principle of heaven and earth is the way of nature.

It reveals a lot of knowledge that ordinary people usually can't think of, which can be described as innovative knowledge, but the way of nature only involves academics but does not involve the Compendium of Ethics, which is disdained by many Confucians.

Lu Yuan continued: "After that, Goryeo, Dongying and other island countries were also conquered and set up the capital protectorate. ”

Zhang Dian pondered: "There are steppe cavalry in the north, grain can be produced in the south, there are people in Western Xia, but what is the value of Goryeo and Dongying?"

Lu Yuan laughed.

The products of those two island countries are actually very ordinary, and Lu Yuan just looks at them unpleasantly.

But......
