Thousands of Fan Yangli with red hat tassels surged in front of Zhao Zhongge.

Below Fan Yangli, there was a high morale. Everyone longed for a refreshing decisive battle and a comparable number of horse-riding auxiliary soldiers. They lined up and rolled up a whirlwind northward in Youyan's heart.

In previous operations, the Song army armored cavalry, which did not show mobility, was abnormal this time, and rushed straight to the grimus river like the wind.

This attack immediately affected the entire Youyan border. No, it should be the situation in the whole world.

Yan land, that is, there are many cities under Nanjing Road in Liao Kingdom. In addition to the city of Xijin Prefecture, there are nine states including Tanzhou, Shunzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou, Pingzhou, Luanzhou, Yingzhou, Zhuozhou, and Yizhou. Among these nine states, Pingzhou is the Jiedu Prefecture, which is on par with Xijin Prefecture. In addition to this state, the two states under the jurisdiction of Luanying Prefecture. The other six states are under the jurisdiction of Xijin Prefecture.

However, among the nine prefectures, there is only one real core, which is Xijin Prefecture City, which is also known as Yanjing City!

This is the base left behind on Nanjing Road of the Great Liao Dynasty, and it is also the capital of Yan!

All the wealthy families in Yan land have mansions and industries in Xijin Mansion, and store a lot of money and silk. As long as the heads of each family are not an official in the heretics, they spend most of their time in Xijin Mansion. It can be said that if they lose Yanjing, the families in Yan land will immediately be greatly damaged!

Oh, the central position of Yanjing has declined a little in recent years. The Jiehe Commercial Market in the south has risen slowly and has become a new economic center in Yandi to a large extent.

However, the role of Yanjing is still incomparable to any Yandi city under the control of the Liao Kingdom.

If this city was firmly controlled by Wu Haogu, just like Jiehe Shangshi. Then the powerful people in Yan would have to take Liao and join the Song Dynasty and rely on Wu Haogu's banner.

Therefore, the gains and losses of Yanjing are directly related to the gains and losses of the entire Yan territory, one prefecture and nine provinces!

I am Zhao Zhong, who comes from the Yan Si family, and of course I know the core role of Yanjing in Yandi.

In Zhao Zhongge's view, the tall and majestic city walls of Yanjing are difficult to capture through force. The city of Yanjing is not as good as the city of Song, but is a Tang city with extremely strong defense. Within the tall city walls, there are more than 20 "fangchengs" and tall and sturdy "palace cities". It takes a lot of effort to seize them one by one.

Therefore, the Yanjing strategy must be to attack the heart as the best and to attack the city as the best.

In order to conquer the heart, in addition to the "money bullet", there is naturally a decisive victory in the field. Only by using the Han cavalry to defeat the Khitan's bow and horses in front of the powerful people in Yan land can we truly shock the hearts of the people in Yan land.

In this field of decisive victory, Brother Zhao Zhong chose to stand on the Sanggan River southwest of Yanjing City.

Since on the battlefield in Wuqing County, the main force of the Song army marched along the east bank of the Sanggan River, while the main force of the Liao army was around Wuqing County on the west bank of the Sanggan River. Therefore, to realize the idea of ​​Zhao Zhongge's decisive battle on the Sanggan River, he had to force the Liao army returning north to cross the Sanggan River, the tributary of the Sanggan River, and then set up a battlefield between the Sanggan River and the Ganggan River.

In order to take the lead, Zhao Zhongge didn't care about saving the human and horsepower of the 6,000 iron cavalry in his hand. After leaving Zhaojia Castle, he handed over the main force to Murong Ke, and then personally led 6,000 iron cavalry and the auxiliary light cavalry with an equal number, one man and two horses, and attacked north like a storm! He encountered the powerful castles of Yandi along the way, and ignored them and walked around. In the stunned shock of a group of Yandi and the people, he went north.

Their only target is the west bank of the Liangliang River, the battlefield under the city of Yanjing!

The news that 12,000 cavalry advanced like the wind along the Sanggan River was naturally discovered by the Liao people's far-stop horses at the first time and reported to Xiao Baoxian, who was in Wuqing County.

Xiao Bao first reacted in extreme panic and shock, and immediately took action.

Before he could even take back the more than a thousand scattered horses scattered outside, he took about 6,000 Khitan Palace soldiers and 12,000 auxiliary soldiers from the Wuqing County and Xiaojiabao on the other side, and quickly headed northward. Even the 20,000 to 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers and infantry who had finally summoned and mobilized, he abandoned them all.

These 20,000 to 30,000 Yan land infantry are all controlled by the children of the powerful Yan land! If the Song army was allowed to snatch Yanjing City, they might have turned against each other.

So taking them with them not only delays the trip, but also has to be careful. It is too troublesome, so I might as well throw it away.

As for whether these 20,000 to 30,000 people will be bribed by the rich man Wu Haogu, Xiao Baoxian can't control it.

He must now return to Xijinfu City before the Song people. With him, the Privy Councilor and the 18,000 Khitan soldiers he brought to take charge in Xijinfu City, this Yandi Majesty can hold on with the Song army's troops!

At the same time, on the Dingzhou battlefield about 300 miles away from Brother Zhao Zhong and Xiao Baoxian, several armies were also moving rapidly.

The positional battle step by step has now become a sports battle to compete for foot strength!

Located on the Dingzhou Plain east of Taihang Mountain, there were four large armies rushing to the road. Three of them were Liao soldiers!

The main force of the Liao army led by Yelu Yanxi was divided into two routes in Beiping County and the adjacent Beipingzhai area. Xiao Fengxian led 30,000 Liao cavalry and rushed to Dingzhou Prefecture City with great fanfare. Yelu Yanxi led 50,000 infantry and cavalry to Anyangkoupu to the north.

Near Anyangkoupu, two armies were also heading towards each other.

On the south of Anyangkoupu, Zhong Fu's 18,000 people were rushing to the empty Anyangkoupu regardless of their own.

In the north of Anyangkoupu, Ma Renwang also led an almost-sized number of Liao guards' army to travel south along the mountain road north of Anyangkoupu. When Ma Renwang led his army to retreat to Anyangkoupu, he spread some far-distance horses south of Anyangkoupu. When these far-distance horses found that the Song army, which was originally crawling, suddenly accelerated and rushed, they lit the pre-prepared firewood according to the order.

Seeing the beacon smoke, the horse people looked at their troops and immediately turned around and rushed towards Anyangkoupu!

However, they were still one step slower. In order to make the Song army believe that the Liao soldiers were really back home, Ma Renwang did not leave any soldiers or soldiers in Anyangkoupu, and even did not ambush the troops near Anyangkoupu (After all, Anyangkoupu is the land of the Song State, and there are many Song people in the surrounding mountainous areas, and the ambush is easily discovered by local mountain people). Therefore, Anyangkoupu was occupied by the light cavalry sent by Zhong Fu to reconnaissance early in the morning!

Although there were only a few dozen people, they were the most elite of the four generals under Zhong Fu. After occupying the city gate, they immediately made simple defenses. After the light cavalry of the Little Martial Army sent by Ma Renwang arrived, they were not scared away, but instead knocked the opponent back with a bow and arrow. However, this small victory would not change the danger Zhong Fu was in at all.

When night gradually fell, Zhong Fu stood on the gate of Anyangkoupu and looked north. He saw the stars of bonfires covering the entire mountain! Look at the moment, there must be tens of thousands of people!

A fierce battle seems inevitable!

"Shipman Zhong Xuan, look at the south, the Liao soldiers in the south are also coming up. We are afraid that we will be attacked from both sides this time!"

I don’t know who it was, but suddenly shouted in Zhong Fu’s ear. Zhong Fu turned around and looked south. He only saw countless shining spots of light, and at some point they appeared at the intersection of the night sky and the earth in the distance. If it weren’t for the large density of the spots, Zhong Fu almost thought it was the stars in the sky.

"God, I'm afraid there are no less than tens of thousands! There are tens of thousands of people on both sides. Wouldn't they be together be 100,000?"

He was attacked by an enemy from both sides and was attacked by 100,000 Liao soldiers! This really means developing in the path of annihilation of the entire army!

Zhong Fu was still trying to calm down and ordered loudly: "Tell the three armies to speed up the construction of camp trenches! Even if you can't sleep all night, you must build the camp like a golden city!

As long as there are camps to guard, we can definitely hold on until reinforcements arrive!"

...

"It's over, it's over, the Liao soldiers all over the mountains! Dingzhou City is really out of stock! It's all Zhong Fu who harmed me, Zhong Fu ruined the country! Woo woo..."

Liang Zimei, at the head of Dingzhou City, was already crying loudly at the Dingzhou Road Pacifier and Governor of Dingzhou.

Outside Dingzhou City, north of the Tang River, there are bonfires lit by Liao soldiers everywhere, and there are so many that they cannot count them. I am afraid there are more than 100,000 people!

Now Liang Zimei's final hope was shattered, and Dingzhou City would definitely fall. And he, the appeaser and magistrate, committed a crime of losing territory!

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, land loss has not happened. However, Liang Zimei has set a precedent for losing all the capitals of the pacifiers.

"Master, please leave quickly! If you don't leave, you will not be able to leave after the Khitan cavalry crosses the Tanghe River!"

Ma Yong, the commander of the Road Capital of Dingzhou, was persuaded by the side. If Liang Zimei didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to leave. He is no better than Liang Zimei, and he is a civil servant who has no insurance! This time he was really in trouble and was defeated inexplicably!

And he has to be charged with losing territory, and it is certain that he will be exiled to Haizhou. If Liang Zimei cannot be allowed to bear the main responsibility, he will have to cut off his head.

"Fortunately, I didn't choose martial arts at the beginning!" Liang Zimei sighed with emotion, "Or I would have to die in Dingzhou this time! That Zhong Fu was also self-reliant and transferred the martial arts? His great life was thrown to the Khitans..."

"The Grand Secretary... it will be too late if he doesn't leave!" Listening to Liang Zimei's resounding, Ma Yong hurriedly reminded, "The army has been gathered, and the officials from all yamen have also gotten on the carriages and horses, so they can leave the city at any time!"
Chapter completed!
