On April 18, in order to gain a chance of survival, the Liao Lord also tried his best this time.
Regardless of the strong opposition from his subordinates, he decided to lead the expedition himself In order to gain a glimmer of hope for the Liao Kingdom, the Lord of Liao was also ruthless this time.
All the young Khitan soldiers and horses from Liao Shangjing were recruited.
A total of 150,000 soldiers and horses were recruited.
Together with the remaining soldiers and horses of the Pishi Army, Shushan Army, and other tribes who had escaped before, a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses were recruited.
There are as many as 100,000 cavalry in the army.
Those 150,000 troops were the vast majority of the Khitan's young men.
If there were heavy casualties in this battle, the Khitan clan might not be able to recover for a hundred years.
It is even possible that it was directly erased from history.
Among the 150,000 soldiers and horses, many were descendants of Khitan nobles.
They were intoxicated in Wenrou Township the day before, hunting and enjoying themselves.
Today, I was forced to join the army at knifepoint and gun.
Many Khitan nobles could not help but feel full of resentment.
However, no matter how resentful they were, they could only pick up the dusty armor from the corner, pick up their sabers, bows and arrows, mount their horses and follow the Liao Lord to fight out of Shangjing, hoping to kill Zhongjing.
In the royal chariot pulled by six white horses, a few wisps of green smoke linger from the incense burner, and the chime-like aroma of dragon incense is refreshing and refreshing.
In the huge carriage, there is a comfortable soft couch.
The Lord of Liao was wearing a suit of armor, sitting on a horse, looking solemnly at the map spread out on the small table.
Zuo Prime Minister Youxi Bojin was too old to go out with the army, so he was appointed by the Lord of Liao to stay in Beijing to coordinate military affairs.
On the right, two important ministers, Prime Minister Chu Jian and Privy Councilor Xiao Fengxian, knelt on the ground and sat in two rows on the left and right.
"In this expedition to defeat the rebels, how do you think our army can defeat the enemy?"
Lord Liao raised his head and asked.
Right Prime Minister Chu Jian and Privy Councilor Xiao Fengxian looked at each other.
Xiao Fengxian said: "Master, our army has many cavalry and can be divided into ten teams.
As long as we continue to harass the enemy day and night, we will conquer the enemy in one fell swoop when they are tired.
The Chinese army will definitely win a great victory."
The Lord of Liao was very dissatisfied when he heard this tactic again, but in the end he could not object.
Because apart from this tactic, he couldn't think of any better tactic.
This is the helplessness of the Liao army.
This tactic has been used for hundreds of years and has long been deeply rooted in the bones.
Now the Liao army only knows this tactic, and they don't know other tactics at all.
The Lord of Liao asked helplessly: "Have you received any reply from the envoy sent to the Kingdom of Jin?"
Right Prime Minister Chu Jian hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, Wanyan Aguda has agreed to the alliance's request.
Now he has led his troops south, and they will be able to join our army in two days or three days."
When the Lord of Liao heard this, he looked somewhat better.
He said: "There are still many warriors in the Jurchen tribe who can fight.
With his help, our chances of winning in Daliao have doubled.
Right Prime Minister Chu Jian, you send envoys to appease the Jurchen warriors.
You must ask them to hurry up."
Join our army" "The slave obeys the order" The Lord of Liao put away the map on the table and shouted: "Tell the Khitan warriors that this battle is not only related to the national destiny of Liao, but also to the fate of our Khitan clan.
I hope they will fight to the death."
Right Prime Minister Chu Jian and Privy Councilor Xiao Fengxian hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty is not afraid of danger and will lead the expedition in person.
The Khitan people will definitely serve the country with blood and fight to the death to defeat the enemy.
This will help us with the destiny of the Liao Dynasty."
News of the Liao imperial commander's personal expedition soon reached Xingzhong Mansion, and Shi Jin slammed the battle report in his hand on the table.
"Generals and generals, kings and kings.

Since the Emperor of Liao wants to fight, how can I not accompany him?
Pass the order and have Hua Rong lead the musket battalion and return to the capital quickly.
I am going to meet the Emperor of Liao."
When Zhu Wu and Xu Guanzhong heard about it, they just wanted to persuade them.
Shi Jin shouted: "I have made up my mind.
Do you love me think that I am not as good as the Liao Emperor?"
Zhu Wu wanted to continue persuading him, but was stopped by Xu Guanzhong.
Zhu Wu thought about it again and again but chose to give up.
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't understand what Xu Guanzhong meant.
If this battle is won again, the Liao Kingdom will be completely finished.
Destroy the country It's okay if it's an emperor, but it's not a good thing if someone else, even a marshal or general, gets it.
No matter how many famous generals who have made such great achievements throughout the ages, they ended up in a miserable state.
But Zhu Wu also had his concerns.
The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, who knows what will happen.
The prince is only four years old now, although Shi Jin transferred back to his uncle Hua Rong.
Hua Rong is also very loyal.
But people's hearts will change Yang Jian and Zhao Kuangyin are not the best examples Zhu Wu couldn't even imagine what would happen if that happened.
In Zhu Wu's view, the sun was setting in the Liao Dynasty.
All he had to do was shoot a general and a marshal to lead his troops and annihilate them.
Wouldn't it be better and safer for Shi Jin to stay in the palace and wait for his subordinates to bring the Liao Emperor's head?
It's just that Shi Jin's character is like this.
Once he decides something, even nine cows can't pull him back.
Zhu Wu could only do his best to help, and then nip all the hidden dangers of instability in the bud.
On April 19, Shi Jin led 30,000 cavalry, 10,000 musketeers, 5,000 artillery battalions, 50,000 swordsmen, 20,000 archers, 5,000 heavy armor troops, and 30,000 logistics troops, a total of 15 armies.
On April 24, the two armies arrived in Fengzhou one after another.
When it came to the battlefield, the Lord of Liao did not dare to make a big move.
He got off the carriage, mounted his horse and rode to the front of the formation.
With five hundred imperial troops guarding him behind him, the Lord of Liao tried his best to look at the Yan army in the distance.
On an April day, the sun was already very scorching.
After walking for so long, everyone was sweating profusely, but no one dared to move.
The 150,000 Yan army advanced slowly and in order.
Under the scorching sun, 150,000 Yan troops lined up in neat crane wing formation and moved forward step by step.
They were composed of countless large and small circular formations, with light cavalry wandering on both sides, heavy swordsmen and spearmen in front, musketeers in the middle, and artillery brigades behind.
To the beat of the marching drum, we slowly moved forward with neat steps.
The weapons held on their shoulders shimmered like rippling silver waves.
Looking around, there are endless armors, endless muskets, and dense flags.
Against the backdrop of the black military uniforms, the Yan army is like dark clouds pressing over the city, which is intimidating.
From the Lord of Liao onwards, we saw the mighty and majestic military appearance of the Yan army.
The Khitan soldiers all took a breath of cold air.
They had heard from the defeated army that the Yan army was extremely powerful.
I didn't feel much after listening to it, but now I saw it in person, and I realized that he was indeed a mighty master.
The Yan army was getting closer and closer, and the sound of heavy footsteps seemed to be heard by people above the sky, shocking everyone's hearts.
The Lord of Liao focused his eyes and saw that in the commotion, a large banner with "Yan" written on it was particularly eye-catching.
Under the protection of five hundred soldiers from the Tiger Guard Battalion, Shi Jin rode his horse to the front of the formation.
Seeing Shi Jin stepping forward, the Liao Lord rode his horse forward not to be outdone.

The Lord of Liao shouted loudly, "Thieves, why did you raise an unjust army to invade our country of Liao?
Now our army of Liao has millions of soldiers and thousands of good generals.
Why don't you quickly switch sides and surrender, so as not to lose the title of marquis?"
Otherwise, wherever our Daliao cavalry passes, you will die without a burial place."
Shi Jin burst out laughing when he heard this on horseback: "I thought you had something to say, but unexpectedly you made such arrogant remarks.
Stop making noise.
You can quickly decide the outcome with me."
After saying that, Shi Jin waved his hand and shouted with great enthusiasm: "Commanders, the day to defeat the enemy is now.
I hope that all the soldiers will fight hard and defeat the enemy in a deadly battle."
"Destroy the enemy in a deadly fight!"
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others raised their swords and roared angrily.
"Fight to the death and defeat the enemy" More and more Yan troops were roaring.
After a while, 150,000 soldiers were shouting from the same voice.
The excited voice soared into the sky, even suppressing the earth-shaking drum horns.
Amidst the thundering drums, except for the 30,000 logistics troops and the 5,000 artillery battalion, the 120,000 Yan troops moved forward while shouting and killing.
The Lord of Liao was thinking about how to refute Shi Jin, but he never expected that Shi Jin would act so decisively and start a war directly.
After being stunned for a moment, Lord Liao felt as if he had been deceived.
This guy Shi Jin is a shameless person, and he actually attacked by surprise.
The Lord of Liao roared angrily: "Come here, soldiers, let these Han dogs see the bravery of our Khitan warriors and kill them."
"Rush over, rush over, rush over and kill those Han dogs."
"rush over" As Liaozu ordered the entire army to charge, Privy Councilor Xiao Fengxian hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Following the shouts of the Liao Lord, the Liao troops had already swarmed out.
Xiao Fengxian stared at everything dumbfounded, dumbfounded.
Your Majesty, didn't we agree?
Do you want to have a wheel battle to consume the opponent's energy?
What are you It's still time for Xiao Feng to ask the Holy One to take back the military order.
Upon seeing the Liao army dispatched, Shi Jin, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his right hand high and gave orders at the top of his lungs, then dropped his arm heavily.
"Fire" "Boom" "Boom" three hundred artillery pieces exploded, with a shrill and sharp whistling sound, and they slammed into the Liao army.
Boom boom boom boom boom The Yan Army artillerymen fired the shells desperately.
The sound of bàozhà continues one after another, forming a chapter of death requiem.
The flying shrapnel harvests human lives indiscriminately.
On the battlefield of today's dense army operations, artillery fire displays extremely powerful power.
A series of collisions continued.
The rumbling trampling sound, the ear-splitting bàozhà sound, and the roaring neighing of horses merged into a death movement that resounded throughout the world.
A series of shocking collisions completely stunned the Lord of Liao.
The Lord of Liao went to the battlefield for the first time and was petrified by the cruelty of the battlefield.
If Xiao Fengxian, the Privy Councilor beside him, hadn't helped him, Lord Liao would have fallen off his horse.
Not only was Liaozu frightened, but the Khitan nobles in the Liao army were also frightened.
They usually hunt on horseback and can bully rabbits and pheasants.
But I met a real ruthless character.
Their nature of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside is fully exposed.
A Khitan nobleman suddenly shouted, threw his hand on the ground, turned the horse's head, whipped his whip wildly, and ran away.
One person took the lead, and fear spread quickly like an infectious disease.
The Khitan nobles threw away their weapons and fled in all directions.
Then other Liao troops saw it and ran away not to be outdone.

The sound of the war drums was like huge thunder, fierce and passionate, attracting the soldiers of the Yan army.
They had red eyes and clenched the swords and guns in their hands.
Kill your enemies, chop off their heads, make great achievements, and return home in glory With such an ideal in mind, they were not afraid of disappointment, and bravely ran forward with all their might to kill the enemy.
But before they could get closer, they saw that the Liao army escaped at a faster speed.
The Yan army officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment. what is going on I had already prepared in my heart that today would be a fierce battle, a hard battle, and a tug-of-war.
But everything in front of him completely subverted Shi Jin's understanding.
He frowned and said uncertainly: "Xu Aiqing, this must be the enemy's trick to lure the enemy."
Xu Guanzhong looked at the enemy's panic look as they fled, and it didn't look fake.
But this was too easy, so easy that even Xu Guanzhong couldn't believe it.
"Your Majesty, how about we send more spies to find out more clearly?"
