Chapter 273 The Final Military Power

On the vast field, two armies were facing each other from afar. The desolate wind blew across the wilderness, shaking the flags of the two armies into a whirlpooling sound.

Xiao Xiaoxian led the Liao army, looking at the awesome military power of the northern Chinese army, sighed in his heart, wondering how the general trend of the world will change after this battle.

Although he led an army of more than 200,000 this time, it was already the last force that the Great Liao Kingdom could bring out.

After gaining a clear advantage, the strength of the Chinese troops grew rapidly, and its current strength has completely overwhelmed the Liao Kingdom.

After a long period of encroachment and annexation, the tribes in the Liao Kingdom surrendered. The originally vast territory of the Great Liao Kingdom has now been annexed by the Huaxia Kingdom. Only the southern large-scale prefectures and counties are still under the rule of Empress Dowager Xiao Nojin, mainly under the new emperor Yelu Chongyuan. The Khitan tribes in the north either surrendered to China, or respected Yelu Zongzhen, Begute and others, but in fact there is no difference between surrendering to China, it is just a little better-looking.

Now, Xiao Xiao had to hear the news that after uniting the forces of all parties, the 100,000 cavalry army of China had advanced south under the leadership of Luo Dacheng, aiming directly at Youzhou. The news also came from the investigations in the southern Song Dynasty. Emperor Zhao Zhen of Song finally made up his mind to send a large number of Song troops to gather in the border area, intending to advance to the Liao Kingdom to take advantage of the situation. If they were allowed to attack Youzhou together, they were afraid that Youzhou would not be able to withstand these two attacks. Once the city was broken, the Empress Dowager and the New Emperor were captured, and the Liao Dynasty would have no way to destroy the country.

Xiao Xiaoxian had no choice but to discuss with his sister, and personally led all the soldiers and generals to go north to block the Chinese army, hoping to defeat the enemy with superior forces, and then return to the army to protect Youzhou. Even if he used the remaining troops to fight against the Song army, he had the confidence to defeat the weak Song people.

However, facing 100,000 Chinese cavalry, Xiao Xiaoxian had no confidence at all. Although he led the vast army to fight, he was still betting. If the army was defeated and died in battle at this time, he would save him from worrying about state affairs again.

Behind him, although there were many soldiers and generals, densely packed with large fields, many troops were scattered in formation, and the soldiers had a look of nervousness and fear on their faces.

This is also helpless. Xiao Xiaoxian had already summoned all the troops that could be found, but a large number of them were local troops, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong. It was okay to go deep into the Song realm to fight Caogu to bully the Song people. If you want to compare with the most powerful troops in the world, it would naturally be pale.

Among them were a large number of Liao soldiers, but they were Han people, all of which were guarding troops drawn from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Most of them were Han people there, so naturally some Han people joined the army and helped the Khitans attack the Southern Dynasty. At this time, they were all pulled together. Facing the Chinese army in the north, many of them were frightened to the point of being white-faced and blue-lipped. They knew that in today's battle, they might not be able to escape this disaster.

The strong combat power of the Chinese army is well known in the world. When they were on the grassland, they could defeat tens of thousands of people and eliminate more than 100,000 elite Liao army. Now they gather 100,000 troops and head south to attack the remaining soldiers of the Liao Kingdom. Even if their side is more than twice theirs, they may not be the enemy's opponent.

In front of them, the Chinese cavalry army was facing each other from afar, and everyone sat upright on the war horses, standing still under the strong wind. The entire army seemed to be one, as solemn as a mountain, with a cold war spirit soaring into the sky, and its might spread across the world.

In front of the army, countless soldiers and generals were surrounded by them. The Lord of China was wearing armor and stood up with his horse. Looking at the scattered Liao army opposite, his face was cold, he slowly raised his hand and made a gesture forward.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and more than a thousand strong cavalrymen rode out of the array, rushed to the Liao army formation, shouted loudly, and shouted in unison from the Lord of China: As long as the enemy on the opposite side could put down their weapons and kneel down to surrender, they could be exempted from death; or the surrendered soldiers were not Khitans, and they could also join the Chinese tribe and become ordinary tribes without having to be slaves. If a Liao army could fight back, no matter which clan they were originally from, they would be promoted according to the theory of merit. Not only would they not have to be slaves, but they would also have more rewards.

These thousand people were selected with loud voices. After one group of people shouted in Khitan, another group of people shouted loudly in Chinese, summoning the Han people to resist the tyranny of the Khitans. In the future, in China, there was no need to be a low-ranking commoner and be bullied by the Khitans.

After shouting, another group of people were replaced, shouting loudly in bilingually to threaten, claiming that if the opponent's enemy swears to never surrender, he will definitely punish him after the war, search the identities of all the corpses, demote their relatives to slaves, go to the grassland and do hard work in the mountains, and never turn over.

As soon as this statement came out, the Han Liao soldiers on the opposite side were already terrified, knowing that if they died in battle, they would not only harm their lives, but also their relatives. Unless they would cut their faces with a knife, they would not recognize the appearance of the corpse, but how could they change their hometown and name on the list?

The Khitan soldiers on the side also glared at their companions, jealous of their favorable treatment and the fierceness of the Chinese people. If they die for the country, their army will be defeated in the future and their territory will be encroached, and their relatives will also be harmed by themselves. According to the Chinese military law, men among their relatives who are higher than the wheel will be executed, and women will be taken away as slaves and become wives, concubines and slaves of the winners. How can such treatment be borne?

The Han Liao soldiers were stared at by the Khitan soldiers, and they couldn't help but hold the weapons in their hands tightly and secretly became alert. Even if they were in the same army, confrontations between people of all races were formed. The enemy was in front of them, but they could not be consistent with the outside world. The companions were wary of each other, and their momentum naturally weakened, forming a clear contrast with the Chinese cavalry that seemed to be one on the opposite side and was full of fighting spirit.

Xiao Xiaoxian from the Central Military Office was already frowning. He knew that if these enemies were shouting, he would be afraid that all the Han people would escape, and the Khitan soldiers would also be timid, which was very unfavorable for the upcoming battle.

Thinking of this, Liao had no other intentions. He pointed at the horse whip and shouted loudly, asking his cavalry to attack immediately and defeat the enemy!

At this time, the thousands of loud Chinese soldiers were shouting that if the Khitan soldiers turned against the Liao army at the last minute, they could protect their families from being slaves; if they surrendered at the last minute, as long as they reported their names and hometowns in the prisoner-of-war camp, the men among their relatives could not be executed, and there was a chance for their relatives to meet again.

Just as they were shouting, they suddenly heard the sound of war drums rumbling. Countless enemy cavalry rode out horses and rushed towards this side with murderous intent. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the soldiers hurriedly rode their horses toward both sides under the command of the commander of the thousand-man, avoiding the enemy's attack direction.

Xiao Xiaoxian was in the middle of command, watching the army of more than 100,000 cavalry emerged from the nest and rushed forward through the wilderness. The momentum was extremely terrifying, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and sneer.

Although the enemy army claims to be 100,000 and looks mighty, in his eyes, many of them have empty horses around them, with a maximum of only 40,000 to 50,000 people. Facing the impact of his more than 100,000 cavalry, even if they are not defeated, they will suffer a lot. At that time, he will send the remaining cavalry and a large number of infantry to participate in the attack, which will set the victory.

For this battle, he collected all the war horses and soldiers he could find, and at this time he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this battle would win, and the Great Liao Kingdom would still have hope of revival!

More than 100,000 cavalry troops crossed the wasteland and ran forward. All the Liao soldiers were shouting and shouting, mixing with the sound of iron hooves on the ground, which shocked the sky and the earth, which almost changed the color of the wind and clouds.

Luo Dacheng stood in the army, watching the enemy's overwhelming rushing towards him, his expression remained unchanged, but he just raised his hand and gave an order calmly.

The 40,000 cavalry behind him lined up in an orderly line with the sound of horns, galloping towards both sides of the battlefield, turning into huge fan shapes. Facing the Liao army running from afar, each soldier raised his longbow in his hand and took a sharp arrow. The sharp tips of the arrow reflected a cold light under the sunlight. From a distance, they looked like cold stars in the sky.

The enemy troops in front rushed towards the front, and the formation of a vanguard rushed towards the Chinese army camp. In just a flash, they rushed into the land of an arrow. The Liao cavalry roared loudly and rushed towards the Chinese army in front.

Suddenly, the sound of the horn turned shrill. Almost at the same time, countless Chinese soldiers who pulled the longbow let go of their bowstrings. The "swoosh" sound was like a thunderclap, and it was emitted in the Chinese camp. The sharp arrows were flying towards the rushing Liao army like a storm.

The rain of arrows crossed the sky, and tens of thousands of arrows covered the sky and darkened the sky. A shrill whistling sounded in the sky, and the sharp arrows that followed fell from the air and shot into the large group of Liao troops. Countless violent forces slashed on the Liao soldiers, bombarding a large number of Liao soldiers off their horses. The sharp arrows penetrated their armor and shot their internal organs. Blood flowed out along the arrow shaft and sprinkled on the wasteland.

Countless war horses were also shot through their bodies by sharp arrows at this time, and they fell to the wasteland with tragic screams and horse neighing sounds, mixed with the roars and roars of the Liao soldiers, making them look majestic and tragic, with a heroic twilight.

Facing the scattered Liao cavalry rushing forward, the Chinese cavalry sitting upright on the horse were not moved at all, and still quickly set off their bows and arrows and shot towards the front.

This wave of arrow rain brought a greater blow. Countless Liao soldiers were caught in the horse and were then stepped on by a large group of cavalrymen who were galloping behind. Their brains burst, their flesh and blood stained the wasteland red.
