Chapter Five Hundred and Twelve The Great Victory of Chanzhou

"Liulang, Zijun, you will be in the limelight in this battle." Wei Neng said jealously.

With the trouble of the pocket, some of the Beiwei Army were transferred out of the West Road to the North Road, and Cao Wei distributed the generals to Yang Yanzhao and Tian Min. Both of them had trained the Beiwei Army, and many of the Beiwei Army soldiers were their subordinates, which was a normal appointment.

But there is no Zhang Ning's share.

For this reason, Cao Wei also comforted Zhang Ning a few words.

Everyone knows how powerful the Beiwei Army is, and it has been practiced hard for so many years in the northwest.

Hearing the sound of artillery on the front line, both units began to mobilize their troops. Yang Yanzhao and Tian Min brought 5,000 Beiwei Army, and he and Wei Neng, Zhang Ning, Li Jixuan, Wang Deyong, Li Qi and others rushed to the main battlefield of Chanzhou with 25,000 cavalry. Li Chonghui and Tian Shaobin and others led 35,000 infantry, and then followed.

Zhang Sijun, Wei Shaomin and others will dig trenches immediately in the rear to prepare to block the escaped Liao army.

But it is not the strongest Song army.

The strongest Song army was in the direction that the Liao people believed to be the weakest, the West Road.

Jing Si led the Beiwei Army, Ma Zhijie and Qin Han led the Xianping Army. These two arms were the most powerful cavalry troops in the Song Dynasty, and the three chief generals were also famous generals. Especially the eunuch, Song Jiu estimated that if he had the same force and fought against him under the same environment, Yang Yanzhao might not be able to fight against Qin Han, or if Jing Si was his enemy.

After hearing the sound of cannons, they set out first.

Shi Baoji followed with his infantry.

The Liao army had little chance of breaking through from the west, but in order to prevent it, they still kept Geng Quanbin. They dug trenches on the west side and were ready to wait for battle. Or they should support them. The two troops reached more than 130,000.

At least, the troops invested almost 500,000 on the main battlefield.

The Liao army also had telescopes seized from the Song Dynasty.

Xiao Yanyan climbed the observation tower and watched the large group of cavalry swarming from afar. She was full of creepy. She immediately went down the tower and ordered: "Eat immediately, after dinner, bring five days of dry food, and prepare for more retreat from the north."

At this time, she felt a little regretful, but she regretted something wrong. She regretted that she had not been delayed too much time in Yingzhou and waited for the city, and even today's situation. But at this moment, she didn't think that the whole army would be wiped out.

It is probably impossible to defeat the Song army, but it is still possible to break through. No matter which side of the Song Dynasty is not as powerful as the Liao army. Moreover, in order to support the main battlefield, several Song troops were disconnected. Even if there were many Song cavalry coming up, could they stop the Liao army's retreat? At that time, this disconnection was beneficial to the Liao army. They could calmly defeat the cavalry, infantry and defense troops. There were still more than 100,000 Song troops under the city of Chanzhou, but most of them were infantry, so they could not catch up with the speed. They also had to protect the emperor.

The Liao army camp began to move.

...

"Your Majesty, the Liao army is about to escape." Li Jilong said.

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Your Majesty, if the Liao army is single, its force is above our army, and it is cavalry. However, their shortcomings are also obvious. The military discipline is slightly poor and it is not long to break. Therefore, it was defeated by our army many times. This time, the 300,000 army went south, and the shortcomings are even more obvious. Although they did not, like Fu Jian, the miscellaneous army composed of various races, mainly Khitans, Xi people, Han people close to the Liao Kingdom and Bohai warriors in southeastern Liao, in order to gather 300,000 troops, they still recruited soldiers from various divisions such as Tatars, Jurchens, Shiwei and Dangxiang this time. When fighting a battle, they received a large number of captives, and the Liao army would unite. If they encounter defeat, even if the soldiers of various races were not the main body, it would cause greater chaos."

Feng Zheng immediately changed his words: "His Majesty He Xi, the victory is imminent."

"Being a literati must have integrity." Kou Zhun laughed at him.

"Don't argue, victory is coming soon, you are still quarreling, and you are not afraid of laughing at people." Zhao Heng turned his head again: "Song Qing, are the Han people in Yanyun really loyal to the Liao Kingdom?"

"Yes, but Your Majesty must not be angry. The northerners are fierce and always respect the strong. Besides, the Liao Kingdom is really good to the Han people in the Liao territory. But later, if the army goes north, if you want to take back the area, you must give up your previous grievances and use both kindness and power to govern, with grace as the main focus, care as the main focus, and power as the auxiliary. Unless the rebels are not allowed to face each other. Otherwise, they will get it, just like Emperor Taizong of Liao, and finally fall into the ocean of people's war and withdraw. In fact, as long as the policies are appropriate, this battle... can even get the entire north..."

"The whole north?" It was not Zhao Heng's surprise, it was everyone's surprise.

"I went to Liaodong to promote the farming methods in the Central Plains. Why did the Hu and Han not integrate? I have said before that the methods of civilization are different, so it has been difficult to integrate. Even if Emperor Taizong of Tang had most of the Hu people's blood, he did not achieve the Hu and Han family. However, many areas in Liaodong have begun to grow and settle their pastoral industries, including the Liao Kingdom seeing its benefits, and continued to promote them in the Bohai Sea and Liaodong, and even to some river valley areas on the desert. Nomadic courts were difficult to manage. Once settled, whether Hu or Han people,

As long as the court has proper policies, does not discriminate against them, and does not send foolish, cowardly, greedy and cruel officials to go, they can be governed. If the court uses some thoughts to promote education, develop business, encourage Hu Han to get along with each other, change their lifestyle and clothing, and encourages the official language of the Song Dynasty, then in a few decades, the Hu Han family will be able to become a headache due to soil and water problems in the desert. However, most areas of Liaodong and Yingzhou can be used to make our territory."

Many people's eyes shine.

In that case, the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties can be restored.

However, some people were suspicious in their eyes, and Song Jiu said again: "The Liao Kingdom is over!"

Maybe the Liao Kingdom is over, maybe the Liao Kingdom can continue to struggle to survive. But what level of battle in Chanzhou is the first step to determine the fate of Liao Kingdom.

Li Jilong began to order.

...

"General Pan, how do you think we should calculate our military merits?" asked a junior school student.

Zhao Heng ordered that a Liao army would be rewarded with twenty yuan. But now so many people have died, including their own people and Liao soldiers. When the gods came, I don’t know who killed them. Especially the artillery army, they killed the most enemies and were most concerned about the heads of the people.

"Don't worry. Your Majesty and Mr. Song are watching on the top of the city, and they are there. Do you still have to worry about the unfair reward and punishment?" Pan Weizheng replied.

They muttered under the city, and Li Jilong also saw a lot of thoughts on the top of the city. Therefore, the first order was very strange, not conveyed in flags, but sent to various units with the command soldiers.

"The Liao army is about to escape soon. The victory is coming, but the soldiers of the three armies do not have to obey their commands. They are instructed and commanded, so as not to cause chaos in each battalion. Those who do not obey orders will be killed and chased in time. Do not be allowed to greed for rewards and any acts of cutting people's heads or picking up supplies, so as not to delay the speed of pursuit, and those who violate the order will also be killed."

"But your military achievements have been recorded in your merits. After the war, you will clean the battlefield and pay rewards to count the number of enemies' dead bodies. There will be another reward. If there are any improper instructions from each battalion, or if you are greedy for all military achievements, your majesty will set up a meritorious envoy, and you can come here to complain."

The order was passed to the three armies, and there was a burst of cheers from the three armies.

There may still be disputes after the war, but victory is coming. Therefore, everyone cheered and cheered.

The Liao army was preparing to retreat, while the Song army was preparing to counterattack.

Xiao Yanyan looked at Han Derang and said, "Han Qing. You bring 20,000 troops to stay."

Han Derang cried bitterly: "Thank you, the Queen Mother."

The Liao Kingdom also had pro-war factions and pro-polis factions, including during this trip. Many ministers and nobles opposed it, but Han Delang was the pro-war faction who insisted on. Moreover, in order to explain to all the tribes of the Liao Kingdom, Han Delang would die after returning to the Liao Kingdom.

If you stay and cut off the queen, you will die, but if you die like that, a handsome man will cover up all the ugliness, at least the Han family will be saved.

The Liao army was preparing to retreat lightly, and many soldiers could not stand the blow. Why did the situation take a sharp turn in a blink of an eye? So they sang some elegies in grief and anger. Xiao Yanyan also parted with Han Derang and shed tears.

Li Jilong couldn't see that scene and began to issue orders.

Teams of square formations emerged from the Song camp and counterattacked towards the Liao army camp.

"Retreat." Xiao Yanyan said.

"Prepare to defend." Han De gave in.

The 20,000 Liao troops were prepared to use the battalion to launch defense, and the remaining Liao troops were preparing to break through from the north.

Li Jilong issued another order.

"Let it go!" Gao Qiong said.

"Let go!" Pan Wei said righteously.

One hundred super stone cannons and one thousand artillery fired at the Liao army fence and bombed them.

It may not be that accurate, but it was still shortly afterwards that gaps were blown open.

Sun Quanzhao and Ge Ba rushed over with Xuezang's cavalry.

Although Han Derang was loyal and fierce, his life was disappointed, and his efforts did not prevent the Song army for long. Seeing the gaps in the fences appeared, Song cavalry was rushing in front, and the dense array of infantry formations followed behind. The Liao army, who left behind, no longer had the courage to fight. They turned over and began to escape.

In less than an hour, the Song army entered the Liao camp. Han Derang wiped his neck with grief and anger to death and Xie Guo.

Sun Quan looked at his body and said, "From the Liao Kingdom's standpoint, this person is also a hero. If we had not met our dynasty, this person might have been famous in history. Try to bury this person as much as possible."

This is a fair evaluation.

Then he led the Song army to chase after him.

Xiao Yanyan looked at the large group of Song troops chasing behind her, but did not blame Han Derang, but shed tears again.

Then he said sadly and angryly: "Dear boys, if you want to go home, you have to rush."

"If you want to go home, you have to rush," the three armies shouted, and then collided with Yang Yanzhao and Tian Min's Beiwei army.

At this time, they became a trapped beast fight, and their eyes were red. Although the equipment of the Beiwei Army was so cold and the combat effectiveness of the Beiwei Army is now stronger, under their impact, the Beiwei Army still suffered heavy casualties and could not stop their escape.

However, this block finally won some time. Cao Wei quickly ordered: "Tele to the rear to stop advancing immediately, build a trench, set up a cloth and resist horses in front of the trench, form a square formation, and prepare to fight."

"Li Jixuan, Zhang Ning, Wei Neng, you follow the orders and each brings five thousand cavalry. Wang Deyong and Li Qi, you each bring three thousand cavalry and kill them. In any case, hold the enemy three cups of tea, then divide the troops left and right, let the enemy break through and escape, and then continue to attack and harass the left and right, slow down the enemy's escape speed."

"Here."

The five generals took the order.

These five people were also powerful generals. Although the Liao army was desperate at this time, they successfully dragged three cups of tea. Cao Wei ordered with a horn to separate the left and right.

Although the Liao army was red in their eyes, the escape was true. Seeing that the Song army separated from each other, they immediately fled to the north again.

Cao Wei continued to attack with his subordinates from both sides.

His army suffered heavy casualties in this battle. After the war, nearly 25,000 soldiers were sacrificed.

Soon the battlefield reached Tian Shaobin and Li Chonghui's troops again.

Cao Wei didn't need to explain the situation in detail, and they knew that the Liao army must be blocked here.

Another bloody battlefield began.

At this moment, Ma Zhijie and Qin Han led the fast Xianping army to arrive.

The Liao army is still fighting desperately.

Jing Si led the Beiwei Army to arrive, and the Liao army was still fighting desperately.

Ge Ba and Sun Quanzhao's cavalry also came over, and the Liao army continued to fight desperately.

However, as the sun sets, the Liao army's tenacious fighting spirit gradually disappears. All the strongest troops of the Song Dynasty are here. Although their combat effectiveness is not worse than those of these Song troops, they are finally about to win. The system is not scattered, so they nail the Liao army here.

Then Li Jilong arrived with the main infantry under the city of Chanzhou and Shi Baojie's infantry. The Liao army collapsed and fled from all directions without caring about Xiao Yanyan's orders.

They knew very well that if the crimes they committed were in the hands of the Song army, they would not have been able to escape, and at least they would be sent to the Song people to dig mines for the rest of their lives.

Seeing Song Qi approaching from all directions, Xiao Yanyan sat in the carriage and looked at the north, and suddenly said, "Xian, I am a sinner from the Liao Kingdom. De Rang, the Ai family is with you."

Then he looked at the generals and said, "The defeat today is the fault of the Ai family. All the mistakes are responsible for, but I hope you can protect Your Majesty and take Your Majesty back to the country no matter what."

He said that, he committed suicide by plucking his knife.
