? "The Liao cavalry stopped our army, and I was delayed from our marching. Do you think how should we deal with it?"

Zhao Xingde looked around the generals and asked. The instrument: There is no advertisement, full text, and his military robe and armor were covered with soil and stains. Over the past month, he has also eaten without heavy taste and lie down. When the road is rugged and muddy, he personally carried military rations and pushed cannon carts. With the example, although the march in the Northern Expedition was difficult, there were very few deserters along the way, and Zhao Xingde's prestige in the army has also increased day by day.

"Do you still need to ask? The enemy is blocking him and then bringing troops to kill him." Yang Zaixing said carelessly, "I am willing to be the vanguard!" Lu Mingyu and Luo Xianshi frowned at the same time, and he couldn't hold back. Lu Mingyu clasped his fists and said, "The last general is the only commander, and the left military camp is willing to be the vanguard!" Luo Xianshi also stepped out and said, "The Right Military Camp is also willing to be the vanguard!" But his tone was far less determined than Yang Zaixing and Lu Mingyu. They were hesitant just now, because they were worried that although there were 50,000 people in the headquarters,

Most of them were infantry, with only more than 3,000 cavalrymen. They attacked cavalry in the plains, and even if they were defeated, the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry. However, if they were defeated, they would probably be wiped out. Even if they were defeated, they would annex the Cao Di army that was following behind. However, no matter what, letting the cavalry generals in the town beat the vanguard, they would greatly clean up the face of the troops of the rebel army. Even if there were swords and fires in front, Lu Mingyu and Luo Xianshi could not let Yang Zaixing be beautiful in front.

"Great courage!" Zhao Xingde nodded, "Now the Liao army is only concerned about stagnating our marching, and wants to drag the war to the cold weather. The Khitans grew up in bitter and cold places, and their people and horses became more and more intense. Many of our army are southerners, who are not resistant to cold and have no winter clothes. If they avoid war in the middle of winter, they may not have the momentum they are today at the beginning of spring next year. And we stay here for one more day, and the Liao bandits calmly slaughtered and robbed for one day, and thousands of people from their hometowns suffered as a result."

"Fighting is courage! The momentum is like two rats meeting in a tunnel. The brave wins, and the cowardly loses! The soldiers of the camps are fully equipped with clothes, loading ammunition, and the entire army is ready to move forward alternately with deer antler formation!" His eyes were like lightning, sweeping over the generals and saying sternly, "The artillery battalion first opens fire and bombards the enemy cavalry, and General Yang then leads his troops to rush forward."

"Abide by the order!!" The generals agreed loudly, and the military orders were passed down, and the battalions prepared one after another.

"All muzzles aim at the Liao dogs and knock them down!" Tong Yunjie said coldly. "Hurry up, hurry up! Use double medicine!"

After a large number of Xia Kingdom artillerymen followed Liu Zhijian and Gao Su and others to leave the Northern Expedition Army, Zhao Xingde wanted a group of officers proficient in artillery from the Han army. Tong Yunjie temporarily took over the position of the artillery battalion. The first shot "Hi-one, two, three!" "Pharm pack!" "Double medicine!" "Double medicine!" As the gunman shouted loudly, the artillery battalion in the center of the camp was busy. The artillerymen were busy putting the horse on the cannon cart and changing the layout of the iron barrel cannon. Soon, all the guns that were originally facing the surroundings were aimed at the gathering of cavalry in the northern Liao army. The tarpaulin on the cannon was pulled apart, and the cannon body showed a charming metallic luster in the morning light. They were the only items in the army that were polished every day. Other gunners methodically piled the dark shells and the medicine cannon positions in the back of the artillery positions according to the regulations.

Yang Zaixing brought five hundred elite cavalry to the side of the camp early. Under the comfort of the cavalry, the horses who were leaping on their way to the ground obediently. Five hundred cavalrymen easily hid in the antlers and muskets raised in the infantry camp. The open front was left for artillery to ravage, and Yang Zaixing didn't want to die on the shells behind him. The cavalry in the first battle was not expensive, but it was just to attack the morale of the enemy. To truly defeat the Liao army, one had to rely on the army to fight with the whole army. The cavalry led by Yang Zaixing was originally the elite in the town, and these five hundred personal soldiers were even more brave and fearless. The battle was imminent, and none of them showed timidity, but their faces were excited.

"Sir, sir, rush forward!"

"Wait for them!" Yang Zaixing turned around and looked at the busy artillery camp, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

"Don't forget to carry your antlers on your back!" The centurion in the camp also shouted, "Check the triangular stake!" "Check the legs!" "Check the musket gun!" During the battle, the infantry had the most fragments and the inspections before the war. "Those towns were really leisurely. When they marched, they rode four legs and had just made a camp for the cavalry. In the 12th battalion of the Left Army, who had just made a camp for the cavalry, heard that his subordinates envied the cavalry, the escort army sent Lu Zhijie vomited a sigh of relief.

He spread his mouth and whispered, "This group of people killed thousands of swords." He suppressed his jealousy for the cavalry who usually showed his might and forced his face to go from being nervous. Yin's depression turned to excitement. He pulled out his waist knife, pulled his gong-like voice, and shouted, "It's time! Going on the battlefield! A real man will throw himself out as a dice! A golden plate throws a good fortune! Bet his life! He killed Yelu Dashi's dog head and returned home in glory!"

"Hahahaha!" A burst of laughter aroused in the camp, and the soldiers picked up muskets and guns to join the team one by one.

"Dad, mom! Mother! My son is unfilial," Murong Xi held the hilt tightly, closed his eyes and said, "I finally have the honor to join General Zhao. Today I am pitiful. Let me slaughter a few more Liao dogs to avenge you!" The soldiers of the camp of the camp wrapped the cloth strips tightly in their hands. Unlike other soldiers, their eyes were full of heavy hatred. As soon as the Liao cavalry appeared in their sight, many people gritted their teeth and asked for battle. Many of the northern Yi soldiers were destroyed in the southern invasion of the Liao Kingdom. Zhao Xingde selected the tall and strong ones and organized them into the camp, specializing in fighting against the Liao cavalry. The "dirty work" when cleaning the battlefield was usually handed over to the camp.

Several miles away, Yelu Tiege observed Song Jun's movements using a thousand-mile mirror, and his expression could not show his joy or anger.

Behind Yelu Tiege was surrounded by the Khitan tribe, Xi tribe, Jurchen tribe, and Wei tribe generals. Several generals used a thousand-mile mirror to observe the Song army opposite. The generals were chased from the southeast to the Central Plains by the Song army, and their original worries had long turned into anger. A few days ago, people shouted to teach the Southern Barbarians a lesson. The Song army formed a formation under the eyes of the Liao army, but it was okay to protect themselves. If they launched an attack, they would overestimate themselves. For this decisive battle, the North Court did it.

The preparation was sufficient. Because of worrying that the Xia Kingdom suddenly attacked from Guanzhong and the army returned to the north were attacked from both sides, the Liao Emperor Yelu Dashi led the army to retreat to Yingchang Prefecture first. The Privy Councilor Yelu Tiege commanded 70,000 troops to cut off the rear. He surveyed the terrain earlier and waited for the Song army to pursue and enter the plain. He took advantage of the cavalry's advantage to delay the speed of the Song army's march. If the Song army still accepted the battle without knowing how to do it, Yelu Dashi would be determined to solve the Song army's pursuit first.

"No matter how stupid Zhao Xingde is, he will not attack the crowd with a small number and use infantry to attack the cavalry on the plains, right?" Wanyan Zongbi thought to himself, "If according to Yelu Kuang's words, the Xia Kingdom occupied Luoyang and Henan became a hot topic, and Your Majesty even wanted to surrender Hebei. As long as Zhao Xingde followed us slowly, he could regain his reputation as a large territory. Why should he take risks?"

He looked back and looked behind him. Under the hill of Yelu Tiege's horse, the Khitan driver was desperately whipping mules and horses. Hundreds of horses were spraying white foam. The horse's hooves stepped out of the soft soil and dragged dozens of iron barrel cannons up little by little with difficulty. Yelu Tiege set a trap for the Song people. When they broke through the obstacles of 30,000 Khitan cavalry, they would find that artillery and infantry formations were blocking in front. In order to prevent the Song people from realizing that these iron barrel cannons were all light and did not

It was arranged on the hill in advance, but was dragged by the horse and the cavalry. Only before the decisive battle did the siege and horses drive away the Song army's scouts, they were temporarily arranged on the hills, and they could bombard the Song army's strong formations from a high point. At that time, the Hebei camp, which was known as the extremely elite in the Song State, was defeated by the total of cavalry and artillery. In addition, there were more than 30,000 Jurchen camps, and the infantry of the Xi army camp was arranged around the hills to prevent the Song cavalry from rushing over to destroy the iron barrel cannons.

The Jurchen soldiers looked in a hurry and numb, holding weapons and guarding the iron barrel cannon position. Wanyan Zongbing couldn't help feeling humiliated. Nearly 70,000 Jurchen warriors who followed the Liao army south, more than 40,000 died at the city of Ezhou. More than 10,000 people were taken away by Yelu Dashi, and more than 10,000 people were left here. The Liao Kingdom was very cautious about the Jurchen people. In order to prevent them from rebelling and running away, Khitan cavalry one by three horses or even four horses, while the Jurchen soldiers were all donkeys, mules and other mounts plundered from the people of the Song Kingdom. They had to come down to fight after they went to the battlefield.

"The Song people seem weak, but they are very tough, Zhao Xingde, what kind of person did he know this, why should he be?" Wanyan Zongbi was feeling a little regretful, and his thoughts were in chaos. "Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom--" He was awakened by the huge sound of cannons. "Damn!" He heard Yelu Tie Ge whispering, "Bastard! Damn!" Wanyan Zongbi hurriedly turned his eyes to the Qianli Miles Miles, and saw a roar of cannons shot into the cavalry group from the opposite side. The heavy cannons carried huge power, and blood flew wherever they passed.

"What's going on?" Wanyan Zongbi controlled himself and did not exclaim, "It was obviously outside the range of the iron barrel cannon!"
