Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 278 Zhao Guangyi is destined to be with this donkey cart after all

Originally, Yelvxian wanted to gather as many Khitan people as possible, and wanted to lead his troops to talk to the nobles in person, and try to see if he could persuade a few people to go with him.

The two paths left for him by Yelu Wuzhi were to steal from the Song Dynasty again, and to steal from Shiwei.

He really couldn't make up his mind at the moment, and wanted to discuss it with the various leaders. To put it bluntly, the Khitan was founded in Yelu Abaoji. After more than 50 years, it finally wanted to abandon the city-state again and become a pure nomadic people again. Even though we went to wander, everyone was still reluctant to let go.

Walking to the south, maybe I want to save it and want to take another look. This symbolizes the rich land that the Liao Dynasty acquired when it was extremely powerful.

Then let him meet Zhao Kuangyin.

In fact, if Zhao Guangyi stayed in Youzhou honestly and relied on Youzhou's solid city defense, no one would dare to mess with him. Moreover, the city defense war is still simple after all. To put it bluntly, as long as the soldiers can do basic coordination and command, they can beat.

But he was very pretentious when he brought the troops out to show off, and he looked like he was going all the way west to the capital, which was a bit pretentious.

If you had said that you would bring the elites of the Song Dynasty, then Yelvxian might have gritted his teeth and endured it.

But who are you, the Jurchen Allied Army, the Han Army of the South Campus, and the Hebei Militia?

There is no unified organization, no system of command, and even the Jurchens and Koreans do not understand the language of the Han people.

This is actually quite provocative in the eyes of the Khitan people: We can't defeat the Song army, and now all the knowledgeable people have admitted it, but you Han people, Koreans, and Jurchens in the South Campus, if you do this too, this is a bit too much. Are you arrogant?
Do it, do it, do it for a while, at least let you know that I still have a temper.

Even if the Liao Empire is gone, it will still explode and make a noise for you!

In this way, Yelvxian, as the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, personally led the charge and directly inserted into the Song Army's military formation when the Song Army was almost unprepared. An inexplicable encounter also started directly on the grassland.

Zhao Guangyi himself was completely panicked. This battle was really unexpected, because normally everyone in the Liao Kingdom should have no will to resist. Yelvxian was obviously in trouble, so how could he still take the initiative? Come and fuck me?
All of a sudden, the problem of lack of preparation was exposed.

He didn't even know who to look for at the moment.

His cronies only brought one Lu Duoxun, but although Lu Duoxun was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was an ordinary civil servant and knew nothing about soldiers.

Seeing this, Li Hanchao took the initiative to ask for help and led the cavalry to fight with Yelvxian.

However, there was really no other general in the Song army except Li Hanchao. After Li Hanchao led the cavalry out, the remaining infantry were still without command, so they could only form their own formations.

You must know that the technical and tactical level of the Song Army is extremely high. They are all professional soldiers, and even without a commander, they can form their own formations. Zhao Guangyi cannot command, so it is not a big problem.

However, it is precisely because of the extremely high technical and tactical level of the Song Army, the formation is relatively rigorous and complex, and there are many types of equipment. To put it bluntly, it is impossible to lead others to play, even if Zhao Guangyi came from Hebei this time The summoned militiamen couldn't fit in, let alone the others?
Moreover, it is an old tradition that the Song Army has numerous hills. As the saying goes, friendly troops cannot move like mountains when they are in trouble. It is good that the Song Army can take care of each other internally. Others, in the absence of effective command, are really too lazy to care.

Then, the Nanyuan Han people led by Handerang collapsed first.

After all, the Han people in Nanyuan are really not very capable in field combat. They are not professional soldiers but are landlords' armed forces like the government army. But for many years, the Liao Kingdom has been divided between the north and the south. They are also afraid of Han rebellion, so how can they really let them train? Woolen cloth?
They have practiced defending the city, but how could they actually practice field combat? Besides, their previous imaginary enemy was the Song Dynasty. Even if any of the landowners' armed forces actually practiced in private, they must have practiced infantry versus infantry formations.

So the combat effectiveness of this group of people is really poor.

The Jurchens can only fight, but the Jurchens mainly pay attention to one word in fighting, that is, aggression is like fire. To put it bluntly, they can just get over it. At most, they know some basic military methods such as division and encirclement. Like Xu Rulin of the Song Army, they pay attention to tight military formations. The combination of arms is really inconsistent.

Let them cooperate with the infantry of the Song Dynasty. If they are not strong enough, the Song army will not be strong either.

One word, chaos.

A battlefield in Nuo Da is completely fought on its own.

But Yelvxian's side are all elites, truly elites, the kind who can compete with the former Secretary of the Song Dynasty Palace.

At least it was the Tozenji before the equipment was upgraded.

During this fight, these Khitan people keenly discovered the disharmony of the Song army's command system and the chaos of the military formation. Although there were many people, they were all fighting in their own way, and they did not rescue each other.

Still mainly infantry.

Then this battle...they fought so comfortably!
What they are best at is dividing, surrounding, containing, and harassing.

After all, Li Hanchao had too few cavalry, and almost everyone wore armor, and the quality of the horses was far inferior to that of the Pishi Army. Yelvxian was worthy of being an emperor on horseback, leading a part of the elite Pishi Army to lead him around. The horse was a little tired of walking.

"This won't work. We can't be led away by the Liao army. Return to the formation."

Because the Song Army has always been short of horses, most of the few horses are equipped with some armor, mainly to cooperate with the infantry. They usually wait until the enemy is restrained by the formation before attacking for the final say. To put it bluntly, it is to cooperate with the formation. This They didn't have much practice in sending them around in circles, and they really couldn't defeat Liao Qi.

Just turning his head and taking a look, Li Hanchao was speechless: "What the hell am I doing?"

The number of the Song army is really too large, more than 30 people. To be honest, even the 23 imperial troops of the Song Dynasty and the two divisions were drawn out and arrayed on the plain. Faced with the harassment of the Khitan cavalry, it was difficult to fight in the battle. Always maintain a tight formation.

What's more, these guys can't actually be considered soldiers in Li Hanchao's opinion.

It was already in chaos. His cavalry wanted to return to the formation, but they couldn't find the formation at all. They even had to follow the Liao cavalry around the outside of the formation.

As for commanding a large formation to open an opening for him, that was simply impossible. Even infantrymen would have to kill him.

"What about Your Highness?"

"I don't know. The military formation has been squeezed into a pile. We must lose."

"Hey~, Marshal Jie, His Highness doesn't understand soldiers. Why do you really let him take these 30 people out for a walk?"

"Who knew there would really be a fight? Besides, he is the King of Qi. If he wants to come out for a stroll, can I stop him?"

"It won't collapse."

"Probably not. After all, we have many people. Those Jurchens, although their military discipline is average, are indeed brave. Their cavalry also restrained many Liao cavalry."

Sure enough, they saw that the Jurchen went completely crazy while fighting and ignored the so-called formation. Some cavalry bravely rushed in and followed the Khitan to fight.

After all, they had horses, and their bravery far exceeded Li Hanchao's imagination. They really restrained the Khitan soldiers so much that although the Khitan soldiers seemed to have a certain advantage in tactics, they failed to achieve a breakthrough in the end.

The battlefield is too big, and the Song army has too many people. Even if the Liao army keeps circling, it will be tired if there are too many people, and the horses will be tired if the people are not tired.

However, what Li Hanchao didn't know was that there was actually more than one Liao army here.

About a mile away, on a high ground.

Brother Yelvxiu used his telescope to watch the entire war.He originally accepted the document from Zhao Guangyi. According to Zhao Guangyi's original intention, Brother Yelvxiu should also lead his troops to join him and join the 30 rabble.

It's just that Brother Yelvxiu is the King of the South Campus of the Liao Kingdom after all. With his identity and status, even if the Liao Kingdom surrenders, he must be a great military envoy with extremely high autonomy.

Isn't it a bit too disrespectful for Zhao Guangyi to just give a random order like barking a dog and just come over like a dog?
We haven't surrendered yet.

I am still one of the top five figures in Daliao.You're going a little too far.

After hearing this, he is unwilling to give up, and he can't lose face. He even has trouble explaining to the people below him, let alone Qing Shiming.

It would be really embarrassing for him not to listen to this. After all, the peaceful reunification of Song and Liao is the overall situation, and we can't be too petty to mess with the overall situation.

Therefore, Brother Yeluxiu actually came, but he did not make peace with Zhao Guangyi. Instead, he led some elite cavalry to follow him from a distance. He also wanted to see the quality of Zhao Guangyi and what he wanted to do. What.

As a result, after watching it for a long time, he didn't know what Zhao Guangyi wanted to do.

There are more than 30 people, what are they doing?

Is it just to show off?
To be honest, he was still thinking that Zhao Da, Zhao Er and Zhao San were all born to the same mother. Zhao Da was a world-famous general when he was in his 20s. He founded the Song Dynasty in his early [-]s and had it in more than ten years. Such a grand occasion, not to mention Zhao San.

Only this Zhao Er, although he has been hanging out in the civil service group and seems to be inconspicuous, has never done anything particularly famous.

If you don't show off your skills, you might be the real master.

Of course, looking back now, Brother Yeluxiu realized that he might have thought too much.

"Your Majesty, is this the strength of the Song Army? It is much weaker than we imagined."

"You know what the heck, this can't be said to be the Song Army at all. This is the King of Qi of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Er. I heard that this man has always been a civil servant and has never had anything to do with the army. This cannot represent the Song Army at all. The strength, but... the Song Army should only be the Central Forbidden Army, especially the Palace Front Division is now extremely elite, indeed not as elite as I originally thought."

"Haha, there are so many people, but it looks like it's only 30 to [-] yuan. I'm afraid I'm going to lose."

The Khitans were still proud of themselves. After all, they had conquered Kaifeng just 30 to [-] years ago, and at least until the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom had always looked down upon the southern regime.

Daliao's entire national defense strategy has always been to defend the enemy from outside the country. It even developed a three-tier defense system to ensure that no military force could threaten it north of the Yellow River. This was an extremely powerful strategy. Military tradition.

To put it bluntly, in people's eyes, the reason why they don't want the north of the Yellow River is not because they can't take it, but because they deliberately regard the north of the Yellow River as a buffer zone with the Central Plains regime. Even Zhao Kuangyin deliberately cooperated with their strategy. .

As a result, just a few years ago, the Sixteenth State of Yanyun was peacefully recovered by others. The Song Dynasty, which was originally looked down upon but looked down upon, suddenly became a behemoth.

Even though they knew that they could no longer defeat the Song Dynasty, and that they could even live a better life by following the Song Dynasty, they still felt quite uncomfortable in their hearts.

At this time, seeing the Song Dynasty being defeated, I actually felt a little gloating about the misfortune.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Song Dynasty is going to lose. Do we want to help?"

"Help whom?"

"This... how about... how about we help... Song?"

Brother Yelvxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Tell me, why do these Jurchens fight so bravely?"

"Ah? This..."

"Maybe they want to restore the country."

"Rejuvenate the country? That's it."

"If they regain the country, even if I surrender to the Song Dynasty and become a military envoy in the future, I am afraid that there will always be such annoying disgusting things around me to disgust me. The Shulu Department... is the marriage between the kings of the Song Dynasty and Qin. This King of Song and Qi, haha, seems to have some ideas."

"Ah~, I see, what do you mean, my king..."

"I, I am still the King of the South Campus of Daliao. Brothers, follow me and listen to me. In this battle, only the Jurchens and Koryo will be killed. Share the worries for my Majesty of Daliao, kill!!"

After saying that, Brother Yelu Xiu also took the lead. He led the elite troops and directly inserted into the Song army's formation, chasing the Jurchens and started to chop them down.

This new force that suddenly came out changed the situation of the battle almost instantly.

Yelvxian looked over here, huh?Brother Yelvxiu, the king of the South Academy, is here. Hahaha, aren’t the Shulu Department members from our group?Immediately, morale was boosted.

On the contrary, at least Han Derang waited for Han Chen of the South Campus to take a look and said, "I'm sorry?"Doesn’t it mean peaceful reunification?Why did Brother Yelvxiu call me again?Then we...

It collapsed immediately.

When the Jurchens saw it, they wondered why they were just chasing me to chop.

Damn, those remaining soldiers of the Song Dynasty are such wastes.

I won’t play with you anymore.

Anyway, they had many cavalry, so they simply ran away.

In the chaos, the small Forbidden Army of the Song Army was also confused by these friendly forces. Li Hanchao also sighed with authority and began to lead his soldiers towards the central army.

When they reached the central army, they realized: "That's not right. Why isn't His Highness the King of Qi? Where is the King of Qi?"

"I don't know. Isn't this the Chinese Army?"

"Jie, Commander Jie, His Highness King Qi seemed to have gone to the South Courtyard to take command just now."

"What? He's directing a ball. Isn't he just causing chaos! He...where is he, this true ancestor!"

As a last resort, I had to go to the Han people in the south courtyard to find the army, which had no formation at all.

"Which of you has seen King Qin kill his personal guards?"

"Fight, fight, your highness seems to have encountered the main force of the Liao army and the king of the South Campus. He took a donkey cart to escape."
