The situation is already clear, and it will be over if we don't fight anymore at this time.Is it really for the Liao army to face Kaifeng Mansion?
Fu Ziying thought that the Liao army was already very weak at this time, and the rapid march for many days had made their physical strength reach a critical point, as long as they were given a severe blow, they would be able to completely grasp their initiative in the next battle.After Hezhang received the order flag, he took his nephew Jia Yinxi, who could no longer bear it, and a hundred sergeants from the headquarters to go down to the city wall.The three thousand cavalry in the city had already been prepared."
Soldiers, Lao Tzu will take you to make meritorious contributions and kill the Liao army."
And Jia Yinxi on the side raised his long knife and shouted: "The Song army is mighty. ”"Kill, kill, kill, kill !!"
The gates of Nan'anmen were wide open.He Zhangjia and Yinxi took the lead and led 10,000 Song troops to gallop out of Kaifeng Mansion.And the herald kept running on the city wall and gave orders.Pull all the cavalry out of the city and reseal the gates.Strict order, only advance and not retreat.When the Liao army was looking at the structure of the Zhending City Gate in the camp tent, a Liao man ran in."
King, the Song army is out of the city."
After listening, Yelu Chuqi was surprised: "What did you say?
”"The scouts came to report, and the Song army all went out of the city and lined up outside."
Liao Jun laughed."
It's really heaven to help the king, the true intention is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I didn't expect the Song army to give up the city wall and fight a decisive battle with the warriors of my Great Liao Kingdom under the city, abandon the long and take the short, the Song army is also a mediocre person, just like those cowards in their court."
The Liao army was so excited, he had already seen the picture of himself entering Kaifeng City and sitting on the dragon chair.Now Yelu Chuqi has been carried away by his victory in one night, he only thinks about the weakness of the Song army, but never considers the experience of the Liao warriors he led during this time.First, the fierce battle of Anning City was unsuccessful, and the army marched overnight.For the sake of the speed of the soldiers, they have never been properly repaired by the sergeants.A day later, he entered the Wangyun Pass, and after breaking the pass, he still did not rest, and continued to attack.It was as if the more than 200,000 troops of the Song army were docile sheep, and as long as they arrived, they could easily win the victory.But he never considered that after the Song army broke through the Western Xia, it would have been different from before.From the very beginning of this war, the Liao army was defeated.But now that the Song army and the Liao army are fighting another war with a predictable ending, Fu Ziying can see it clearly, but Yelu Chuqi is still immersed in the dream of victory......
The cavalry of the Song army lined up outside, not going and not returning, but charging towards victory.The commander-in-chief is Hezhang.With nearly 10,000 cavalry, it was the first time that Hezhang had so many cards in his hand to use.The drums on the city walls gradually sounded, deafening.The old and weak women and children in the city all moved to the inner city, and those who remained in the outer city were all strong men who had already taken up their weapons, plus the sergeants, there were nearly 150,000 people.This was also arranged in advance by Fu Ziying.It's really broken, and no one can live.Whether you are a commoner selling soup cakes on the street, or the young master of the Xungui family, as long as you can afford to hold a knife, you must stay in the outer city and kill the enemy loyally.Fu Ziying knew that the Liao army would not be able to break through the city wall of Zhending at all, and mobilize these young people, one is to boost the morale of the Song army, the second is to unite the people, and the third is to let the hundred officials of Kaifeng Mansion take a look, the people's hearts are available, and the sixteen states of Youyun will not take it at this time.The sound of war drums spread far and wide.Zhao Zhen and Tie Xi in the palace seemed to be able to hear it.Although he knew that the Song army would not be defeated, Tie Xi was still a little nervous, even Han Qi, who was confident, was afraid that he would not fall asleep at this moment.There was silence in Kaifeng Mansion.It's as if the real war has nothing to do with it.The hall was also very quiet, and the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the hall were all half-bowed heads, not daring to make a little noise.Zhao Zhen closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, but everyone knew that this emperor was not asleep, and he was even more awake than anyone else.Boom ——!!!
The sound of artillery bombardment sounded at this time.Really outside the city.When the Liao army saw the Song army forming a formation outside the formation, they were greatly surprised, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack and kill all the Song troops who went out of the city under the city.The energy of the Liao people is indeed a little unable to keep up.However, the horn of victory was blowing in front of them, and they could only cheer up, turn over their horses again, and charge towards Kaifeng Mansion with their scimitars brandish.When He Zhang saw the Liao army rushing towards him, he didn't have a trace of fear.The main target of the Liao army was Nan'anmen, where Hezhang was located.It was a cavalry duel.The two most powerful nations in the world today are riding their horses and wielding their weapons in an unprecedented battle outside the city of Zhending.This time, Yelu Chuqi did not command in the rear, he led his own soldiers and charged forward.He is excited, his scimitar wants to drink blood, he wants to be the first to climb the head of Zhending, and he wants to complete the peerless feat that no one in the Liao Kingdom has done.At this time, his enemy Fu Ziying was standing at the head of the city, looking intently at the Liao army.They're finally here."
Open fire."
Fu Ziying shouted, and the herald next to him immediately waved the flag, and the herald standing in the corner tower also began to wave the handsome flag towards the city.More than 30 artillery pieces and hundreds of catapults placed in the city began to fire outward.Pieces of cannonballs and boulders smashed into the ranks of the Liao army with deadly impact, and countless people fell.But their companions will not back down.And after reaching a position, the Liao army ushered in a second round of artillery attacks.This made the casualties of the Liao people even greater.But at this moment, the Liao people have no way to retreat, they can only follow their king to charge, only by rushing into Zhending and enjoying the luxury belonging to the Song people, can they be worthy of their upheaval along the way.Wait until the Liao army has crossed the artillery bombardment area.Jia Yinxi saw the handsome flag on the corner tower and said to He Zhang: "Uncle, it's our turn." ”"Rush."
Hezhang didn't talk nonsense and shouted.Countless good men of the Song army rode their horses and rushed towards their enemies.Hezhang and Jiayinxi took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation.With both swords and guns, he was extremely brave, and killed several Liao cavalry at a slight contact, and then led his own soldiers deep into the enemy formation, disrupting the formation of the Liao people.The two armies began a bloody battle outside the city of Zhending, and when they first came into contact, the Song army was slightly defeated because of the many new soldiers, and the casualties were greater than those of the Liao army.One by one, the Song soldiers fell off their horses, but the city gate behind them was closed, and if the momentum of the advance was stopped, the Song army behind them would obey the order and kill them.They can only move forward.When the Song army paid a certain price, the situation gradually reversed, and the weakness of the Liao army's long-distance attack could no longer be hidden.More and more Liao people were killed and dismounted due to physical exhaustion.Yelu Chuqi, who was fighting hard, didn't notice it at first, but when he saw that there were more and more cavalry of the Song army around him, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers on his side, he suddenly woke up, and he looked back and saw that there were many Liao cavalry stagnant.The brave warriors of the Liao Kingdom were actually afraid of battle at this moment.However, Yelu Chuqi was experienced in combat, so he immediately restrained his horses and let the herald beside him blow the horn of retreat.The clarion call for retreat resounded throughout the battlefield.Liao Guoyong, who was fighting, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this horn.And the Liao people who were hovering at the back heard the horn, and directly turned around and rushed away.If they charge again, I'm afraid they will all die here.Immediately began to retreat.But how could the Song army, which had already paid so much price, easily let the Liao army leave.During the retreat, thousands of Liao people died outside the city of Zhending.Just when the Song army was still trying to pursue.The war drums above the gate tower were raised to stop the pursuit.He Zhang was dissatisfied.And the artillery on the city gate once again spat out tongues of fire, harvesting the lives of the Liao soldiers who fled in embarrassment.After waiting for the distance of the artillery bombardment, the boulders on the catapult came one after another......
"Great victory, great victory......"
A little eunuch rushed into the main hall in a panic.Then he knelt down under the dragon case and said to Zhao Zhen and Tie Xi: "Tell Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, General Fu sent someone to send good news, broke the enemy army outside Zhending City, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and Yelu Chuqi and the Liao army retreated forty miles away. ”After listening to the words of the little eunuch, Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, but he couldn't see the joy or sorrow."
Not bad."
It's just a light sentence.Tie Xi was also secretly relieved, the first battle was won, which dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Liao people, and he only needed to wait for the reinforcements from the important towns outside the gate to return to help and encircle.Da Song passed the first hurdle safely.Strength and weakness have changed in this moment.The border army outside the gate rushed to the outside of Zhending City.Fu Ziying was high-spirited and supervised the army, wanting to teach the Liao army a high and low.Although Tie Xi didn't know how to fight, he also knew in his heart that compared with the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, they had a crushing advantage in terms of weapons and numbers.Under this advantage, if Fu Ziying, Wei Chiyuan and others cooperate seamlessly, and can truly annihilate all the people of Liao, then the situation in Liaoguo will be chaotic again, and it can be said that it can be said that the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will be a matter of hand.The night was getting darker, and the battle outside the city had stopped, and it was very silent.Like a majestic beast, it seems to have nothing to do with the great battle just now.But the smell of blood and gunpowder in the air, and the corpses of the Liao invaders who had lost their heads miles away, all proved that there was a great battle here not long ago.Although the battle outside Zhending City has stopped, the battle at Wangyun Pass has not ended.Wu Chi Ha'er led his military horses to fight with the Song army in the city, for two whole days, they still did not take the city, but the huge cavalry army was trapped by the Song army in a remote place in the city, trying to break through, but was repelled several times by the Song army led by Guo Ziliang and others, and was still compressing their space.Han Han did not die in the city tower, and Yan Yunfeng did not repay the country with death.
