Chapter 696: The Battle of the Yellow River


On the 31st day of the lunar month of 1099 AD, it was also the end of the 37th year of the assimilation of the Great Xia Empire, this year Li Liangzuo was 52 years old, and the emperor who dominated the 38-year history of the Great Xia Empire began to take power at the age of 14 and finally waited for the day of drinking the Yellow River.

Early in the morning, Li Liangzuo got up early, with the help of Xiao Zhuozi, Li Liangzuo, who had not worn the armor on the battlefield for many years, felt that the armor was very heavy at the moment of the armor on the ship, Li Liangzuo felt that he was no longer able to beat the year, and he was already old.

"Your Majesty, the army is all ready."

Yang Shousu said to Li Liangzuo.

"Then let's get started," Li Liangzuo said very calmly.

"Your Majesty has an order, attack" The 150,000 Xia army pushed the siege equipment and suddenly launched a fierce attack on Kaide Mansion, and the Song army defending the city was caught off guard for a while, Zhao Qun hurriedly reported to Zhao Yu and said: "Report, report, report to the prince, the 150,000 Xia army suddenly launched an attack on our army, and the intensity of the offensive was unprecedented. ” "What should come is here after all."

Zhao Yan said with emotion: "The herald ordered the army to evacuate according to the original plan. ” "Yes, the last general commands" Under the leadership of Zhao Qun, 30,000 Song cavalry launched a counter-assault on the Xia army, and the remaining 70,000 troops took this opportunity to evacuate Kaide Mansion to the bank of the Yellow River, and set a fire in Kaide Mansion before evacuating; Looking at the raging fire, Li Liangzuo said lightly: "It's time for the show to start." ” "Your Majesty, the Song army has begun to withdraw to the bank of the Yellow River, and it seems that there are 30,000 Song cavalry waiting for it."

Yang Shousu pointed to the Song army formation in the distance and said; "The Song army's 50,000 foot soldiers are in the center, and there are 10,000 cavalry on each flank to prevent our cavalry from attacking from both flanks."

"How is our army prepared?"

asked Yang Shousu.

"It has been fully prepared and is under the personal command of General Zhu Xu" "Order the cavalry not to entangle with the cavalry of the Song army and let them leave, and the cavalry will follow and press in."

Li Liangzuo ordered.

Yang Shousu immediately sent a herald to order: "Order: Yan Shu and Zhao Ge, don't entangle with the cavalry of the Song army."

After Yan Shu and Zhao Ge received the military order, the Xia cavalry began to gradually disengage from the Song cavalry, and the Song cavalry took advantage of this opportunity to immediately withdraw from the front line and return to the Song army on the north bank of the Yellow River under the leadership of Zhao Qun, Yan Shu and Zhao Ge then led 100,000 cavalry to press the border, encircling the Song army within a narrow 30-mile range.

In the large array of the Song army, Zhao Qun said to Zhao Yan: "Lord Wang, you withdraw first, and the last general will lead 30,000 iron cavalry to break off." ” "No, we have to go together, this king will never abandon any brother."

"You still don't dare to watch the prince leave."

Zhao Qun issued a military order.

Several generals immediately put Zhao Yan on the war horse, under the protection of the army on the ice of the Yellow River to flee to the south, Zhao Yan under the protection of the generals three steps and one turn, watching Zhao Qun launch a counter-assault on the Xia army, the two armies launched a fierce battle on the north bank of the Yellow River, 30,000 Song cavalry with their own lives, for Zhao Yan and the evacuation of 70,000 troops won very valuable time.

"General, you see, most of the Song army has reached the middle of the Yellow River."

An adjutant general pointed to Song Jun in the distance and said.

Zhu Xu looked at the direction of Song Jun's withdrawal and said, "Then let's start, I want to see how powerful this thing is." ” "Ready, ignited" "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" Tens of thousands of missiles suddenly took off into the air and went straight to the Song army that was evacuating, this was Li Liangzuo's plan, using missiles and the Yellow River to annihilate all the Song troops north of the Yellow River; It is a fool's dream that tens of thousands of missiles want to blow up all 70,000 Xia troops, but Li Liangzuo's purpose in using missiles is not to kill or injure many Song troops, but to blow up the ice surface of the Yellow River.

"Boom, boom, boom" A violent explosion sounded on the ice, and the originally very solid ice surface was immediately blown to pieces, and the Song army that was marching was taken by surprise, and tens of thousands of Song troops fell into the icy Yellow River water together with Zhao Zhao, the king of the Great Song Dynasty, and the result can be imagined.

"This is a little wrong," Li Liangzuo said with some doubts.

"What's wrong with Your Majesty."

Yang Shousu asked puzzled; "Isn't this very good, 70,000 elites of the Song army are estimated to be frozen into ice cubes."

"I mean that the power of this explosion is wrong" Li Liangzuo said: "According to my calculations, it is impossible to have such a great power, can it be?"

"Your Majesty means that Zhao Yan also thought of this trick," Yang Shousu said in surprise.

"Yes, there is such a possibility, you want to show that if the Song army withdraws from the Yellow River according to the normal Silk Road, our army will inevitably send troops to pursue, and Zhao Yan only needs to send a force to drag us on the Yellow River, and then blow up the frozen Yellow River, our army will fall into the Yellow River, and the Song army can completely annihilate the main force of our army at the minimum cost."

"This Zhao Yu is really not to be underestimated," Yang Shousu said with emotion; "But Zhongjiu is not as skilled as His Majesty."

"Okay, don't brag about me, order the whole army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Song army" "Yes, Wechen takes the order" On the north bank of the Yellow River, there were fewer and fewer soldiers under Zhao Qun's command, and finally there were only more than 1,000 Song cavalry left, Zhao Qun got off his horse and kowtowed to the Yellow River a few times and said: "Lord Wang, it is the last general who is sorry for you, and it is the last general who has harmed you."

Then Zhao Qun rode on his war horse and said to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, both horizontal and vertical are one death, fight with Xia Jun, kill" Yan Shu looked at the Song cavalry who rushed towards him and sneered: "Dying and struggling, I ordered the crossbowmen to release their arrows and shoot all the Song cavalry." ” "Yes, the general has ordered the crossbowmen to release their arrows" On the bank of the Yellow River on the western front, the same war is also going on, but Zhang Miao is much luckier than Zhao Yu, because Zhang Miao has 200,000 troops in his hands, so Zhang Miao has enough troops to block the attack of the Xia army, Zhang Miao personally led the 50,000 army after the palace, when the 150,000 army was blown up and sunk into the river halfway through the crossing of the river, Zhang Miao's first reaction was that he was tricked.

So Zhang Miao immediately commanded an army of 50,000 to break through to the west, under the protection of 3,000 cavalry, Zhang Miao broke through from the encirclement of the Song army, after the breakthrough Zhang Miao ordered all parts to disperse and evacuate, Zhang Miao changed into an ordinary cavalry armor, under the protection of several cronies, mixed in it and evacuated to Qimen Town.

Late at night, there were only a few dozen people following Zhang Miao.

An adjutant general said to Zhang Miao: "General, what should we do next?"

"The Song army is searching for us, we can't stay here any longer, let everyone hold on, we cross the river from the front, as long as we cross the river, it will be safe; I don't know what the situation is on the prince's side.

Zhang Miao sighed and said.

"Step, step, step" the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

The Song soldiers, who still didn't know the situation, shouted in horror: "The cavalry of the Xia army is coming, hurry up and run."

"The cavalry of the Song army is coming, hurry up and run" "General, hurry up, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late" At this time, Song Jun had already become a frightened bird, and he couldn't wait to pee his pants when he heard the word Xia Jun.
