Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.

But it is said that the offensive and defensive battle between Sun Yuechu and Yelu Xiuge had completely evolved into a tug-of-war.

After Han Chongyun's infantry arrived, he tried to enter the city but was blocked by Yelu Xiuge. Sun Yue sent people to pick him up several times but failed. Han Chongyun was worthy of being a long-time general on the battlefield and decisively gave up entering the city. After all, the city was not big, so he instead camped on the mountain beside Danzhou City and formed a mutual support and cooperation with Danzhou City.

As a result, Tanzhou City suddenly became a tough bone. When Li Jixun came again, Yelu Xiu Ge completely extinguished his thoughts of breaking quickly. Whether it was Zhaoyi Army or Tianxiong Army, these were old opponents.

Li Jixun is actually a famous general of the world. When most people in later generations mentioned the famous generals of Song Chu, the first reaction in their minds was usually Cao Bin and Pan Mei. It seems that these two people represent the level of the martial artists of Song Chu. How could it be? The reason why these two guys benefited was actually because they had no foundation and were just to rest assured. If they really wanted to level all the generals of Song Chu, they might not necessarily be in the top five. Li Jixun's level was definitely above them. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was the true number one good fighter in the Song Dynasty.

This is a person who even Zhao Kuangyin is afraid of.

Just after just scanning the battlefield, Li Jixun roughly understood the situation on the battlefield. As mentioned earlier, this person had no personal relationship with Sun Yue. On the contrary, there was a slight disagreement with the Tianxiong Army, so he did not go to Tanzhou to support him at all. Instead, he led his troops around and ran to the vicinity of Shunzhou, and began to attack Shunzhou City.

Han Chongyun and him are sworn brothers, and decisively handed over half of the Tianxiong Army to Sun Yue, and personally led 30,000 troops to support him.

Shunzhou is actually Shunyi in later generations. Imagine that Sun Yue occupied Miyun and Li Jixun took over Shunyi again, and helped each other, once Yelu Xiuge could not maintain his strength, then Youzhou City...

Sun Yue could not defeat the enemy. Shunzhou wanted to rescue him but was restrained by Sun Yue. To be honest, if you use this style of fighting, from a military perspective, the Liao Kingdom was already very passive.

Although there was a lack of equipment to defend the city, Yelu Xiuge's Liao cavalry was not good at siege. If the Khitan cavalry really threw down his horse and used his life to attack the city, he would not be willing to do so, so most of the uses were just Han troops.

The Tianxiong Army had an unparalleled ability in field battles, so Sun Yue's city was not passive at all. As long as he saw Yelu Xiuge's intention to siege the city or siege the mountain, he would immediately send Li Jilong or Yang Ye to lead the cavalry out of the city without waiting for them to set up camp. Once the Liao army's cavalry was dispatched on a large scale, they would be asked to withdraw quickly, and if necessary, infantry would be allowed to come out of the city to respond.

In short, with such an offensive and defensive method, the two of them could not decide the winner within three months. Sun Yue could not defeat Yelu Xiu Ge, and Yelu Xiu Ge could not defeat Tanzhou City. That is to say, he returned to the old path of delaying time. Sun Yue started by delaying time, so overall, Sun Yue should have won this game.

However, Yelu Xiuge is Yelu Xiuge. An excellent commander would never only focus on the matter of this acre of three-point land on the battlefield. He keenly realized that there were problems within the Song army, and it was a big problem!

So this guy didn't even want Shunzhou City. He led more than 20 followers overnight and actually ran to the camp of Yeluwa. After asking, the recent attack of the Song army was extremely fierce, which was completely different from before. And the most important thing was that the gap between the various camps in the Song army became larger. That night, Yelu Xiuge lived in the camp of Yeluwa and continued to observe the camp of the main force of the Song army the next day.

Originally, it was the Khitan who attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, but now it was blossoming on both sides of the battlefield. Whether it was Youyan's heavy area or Waqiao's passiveness, it had become the Song attacking Liao defense. However, the military passiveness did not make Yelu Xiuge become sad. On the contrary, as he observed it longer and longer, his heart became more and more excited.

At about noon, the Song army once again lined up neatly and slowly agreed to approach the Liao army. Yeluwa arranged the soldiers to wander, while explaining to Yelu Xiuge.

I don't know how many times this is. You say you fight. The infantry formation is just a turtle shell and cannot be fought for a while. As long as it cannot be fought, the reinforcements from all directions will pounce on them like hungry wolves. The infantry cooperated with each other to cut the battlefield, and the cavalry was responsible for circumventing left and right. In the end, they formed a gang of turmoil. The cavalry could not run, and in the end they would exchange losses.

After all, the Song army was all professional soldiers, and they were more or less pensioned. In addition, the army always emphasized the spirit of sacrifice, not to mention that many soldiers of the new army wanted to die. Once the situation of exchange of losses occurred, these Khitan conscripts would soon collapse.

After all, these are all full-time herdsmen. They only work part-time in the army. They don’t even rely on robbery. They haven’t entered Waqiao Pass. After fighting in Hebeidi for so long, everyone has no enthusiasm.

Therefore, Yeluwa was very troubled by the rogue tactics of the Song army. Fortunately, the infantry of the Song army was short and had poor mobility. He had the right to choose whether to fight or not. If he didn't fight, he would just go back a little and let the Song army advance a little. Such a strict push, coupled with the Khitan's constant harassment, he would only push for more than ten or twenty miles a day, and he would have to camp again, and even the damage to the war was greater than that of the Khitan.

The Song army spent most of their time setting up camps.

Yelu Xiuge laughed and said, "It's like Cao Bin's method, he is fighting steadily, and the main attack is the legendary Kaifeng New Army?"

"No, it's the Luoyang Imperial Guard."

"The Imperial Guard? Sun Yue's Imperial Guard? Haha, it's getting more and more interesting."

Yelu Wa said, "Brother, king, why are you not in a hurry at all? If you continue to fight like this, they will meet with Sun Yue in more than a month, and then they will become their attack on Youzhou."

Yelu Xiu Ge seemed to be fine and smiled and said, "What are you anxious about? You said it too, it will take more than a month. How about the new army in Beijing?"

"There are very few moves, just like before, but the combat effectiveness is indeed good, especially the soldiers are not afraid of death."

"Well, okay, okay, okay, it's so interesting."

"No brother, what are you having fun?"

"You will know then."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man and a horse rushing out of the Song army's infantry formation, but a female general wearing a red robe and a rouge horse under her crotch, fearing that she would not be conspicuous, and she was still holding two old peacock tail feathers above her head.

"Who is this?"

Yelu Wa's face couldn't help but feel even more bitter, and he said, "Sun Yue's mother, you're so crazy."
