I became the son of Renzong

The deployment of troops is advanced layer by layer.

The advance of the chariot soldiers, after detecting the retreat of Beiliao, the chariot abandoned part of the equipment, but borrowed the chariots to transport the auxiliary cavalry, and directly followed the chariot soldiers to advance northward.This is cheating.

As for the Pan cavalry team, except for mobilizing half of them to support Hedong Road, the rest of the Pan cavalry, after the chariot soldiers went north and left the camp, marched day and night, and directly entered the original camp.

The distance between the original camp and the front line is only a hundred miles, which is almost completely connected to Da Song's fan cavalry team.Because, the Fanqi of the Song Dynasty is now also equipped with three riders for one person...

As the Great Song was advancing northward, the Beiliao was busy rebelling. The collection and transmission of the intelligence of the Great Song was intercepted by the Song Dynasty's solid line of defense for more than a year. As for the movements of the Song Dynasty in the past half a year, the Beiliao did not know, did not know Song Dynasty's current cavalry team is no longer the base of the tentative battle.

The Great Song Cavalry in Hedong Road and Northwest is not the total number of Great Song cavalry at all...

"More than 20 carriages, all of which are carts pulled by four horses, almost the same size as the chariots of the Song Dynasty..."

"Everyone is ready to attack the grain transport team as quickly as possible. After the completion, immediately evacuate the scene and gather at Yujia'ao, Nanshili, waiting for the reinforcements from Song State..."

The scout's report reassured the generals of Beiliao.The transportation volume of more than [-] vehicles is exactly what the [-] soldiers of the Song Dynasty spent for one or two days...

In such a situation, the four armies of the Song Dynasty all appeared.The cavalry of Beiliao was excited, and so was the cavalry of Song Dynasty. They all thought it was what Shangfeng expected.

And so, the battle began...

"Total annihilation! Annihilation of [-] cavalry!"

In the Palace of Qinzheng in Bianliang Palace City, Wang Anshi, who is nearly 70 years old, does not sound like an old man when he shouts.

This is the first large-scale and direct face-to-face battle between Song and Liao.On the fourth day after the war, the battle report was delivered to Bianliang immediately.

Facing Beiliao, even in the Battle of Hedong, there was no such a brilliant victory. It was a cavalry-to-cavalry attack. Such a victory was definitely an unprecedented victory for the Song Dynasty.

The battle is like this: When the cavalry of the Northern Liao Dynasty charged ten miles to the carriages transporting armaments, all the carriages that seemed to be transporting armaments were opened instantly, and the carriages were spread out on a ramp, and all the carriages were full of cavalry ready to go.

At this moment, on the south and north sides of the Liang Road, there was a scene of thousands of horses galloping at the same time, and the dust raised by the horses showed that there were no less than ten thousand cavalry on both sides of the road...

Combat does not only rely on force, but the spirit of the fighters is the key to victory or defeat.

Knowing that they were tricked, the cavalry of Beiliao had lost their confidence in winning.At this time, if you make a move to fight to the death, maybe the result will be another situation.

However, the thought of being able to return to the headquarters' defense line within a hundred miles caused the Beiliao cavalry to turn around and run away in the first place...

On the way home, there were more Song cavalry than on the grain road, not to mention the cavalry who could skillfully use firearms.

At this moment, Beiliao's battle was doomed to failure.

Supporting Fanqi is determined by the head. In such an absolute advantage, no one is soft-hearted...

"How many casualties?"

"Going back to the official's house, the infantry and cavalry are responsible for supporting, with zero casualties. The casualties of the Fanqi were 900, and the casualties of the auxiliary Fanqi were more than [-]!"

Three to one casualty ratio?Perhaps it can be regarded as a big victory, and it can also be regarded as a victory in the first battle.For the imperial court, assisting Fanqi is the role of cannon fodder, and they are willing to do so.

"Let's do a good job of dealing with the aftermath and providing compensation..."

Chapter 935 Don’t Let Emperor Liao Be Beautiful

Beiliao once again retreated, this time not because of a strategic retreat, but because of the retreat after the defeat in the first battle.

As for the Song Dynasty, at this time, it also fully revealed the number of combat forces in the Northern Expedition: nearly 20 chariot soldiers and more than [-] fan cavalry.Not to mention the equipment, but in terms of quantity, it has not lost to Beiliao at all.

The key point is that the Northern Liao Dynasty is a tired army that has been fighting for nearly two years, while the Song Dynasty is a pure new force.

At this time, the Song Dynasty garrison in Hongzhou, Hedong Road, suddenly moved eastward, and had already occupied Yizhou's Zhekexing Department, led the troops to the west, and attacked Weizhou in a unified manner at almost the same time... ··

The defenders of Yuzhou in the Northern Liao Dynasty, after learning of the defeat in the first battle of the Northern Liao Dynasty, saw that Weizhou was under attack, and immediately abandoned the city and fled before the troops of the Song Dynasty besieged the city.

So far, from Yunzhou Mansion, Hedong Road, to the east coast, the Song Dynasty basically leveled the front line, and the army completely overwhelmed the Nanjing Road in the Northern Liao Dynasty.

"Yelu Zhongyuan wants to conscript himself?"

"The information is reported in this way, from the same source as last time."

Zhang Dun and Wang Anshi watched the Imperial City Secretary's report and had a conversation.

The intelligence of the Imperial City Division has been shared with the imperial court since the civil strife in Northern Liao Dynasty.When it came to the war, Zhao Xi even saved the process of screening himself, and shared it comprehensively.

He understands the role of timely and accurate intelligence in warfare.

"Isn't it surprising that the king of the Northern Liao Dynasty went to war personally? Yelu Chongyuan went to the army in Qingli because of his filth with Xixia; even the king of the Northern Liao Dynasty went to war in person when he was beating the Jurchen. It's just a barbaric nature..."

Han Zhen changed his concept a bit.But the attitude is clear, he does not approve of the king's personal conquest, or in other words, this is a disguised form to dissuade the officials from intending to personally conscript.

How should I put it, based on the current battle situation, Song Dynasty is the dominant side, and the officials should be quiet and not move.As long as the officials sit firmly in Bianliang, it is the peace of mind of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

"Beiliao lost the first battle, and the morale of the army was unstable. It is true that the king's personal conquest is needed to stabilize the morale of the army, so that the army can regroup and fight again. This is understandable."

Xue Xiang simply talked about the reason for the Northern Liao king's personal conquest, but he seemed to think that was the case.

"The king's personal conquest is not the key to the victory or defeat of the war. There may even be accidents due to the king's personal conquest, which will lead to a reversal of the great situation. Therefore, you don't have to worry about whether the king's personal conquest or not."

Even Lu Huiqing, who has always been able to guess the intentions of the officials, made the same argument.

Lu Huiqing really guessed wrong.The reason why Zhao Xi didn't speak up was not that he didn't want to go to war, but that he didn't want to have a situation where the monarch and his ministers were at odds during the war.

As far as the ministers are concerned, when the official family was the prince, they led the army to go out, and they won big victories several times.However, since the official family inherited the Datong, they have never had the idea of ​​personally conscripting, nor have they ever set off.

The throne is one reason, and avoiding disputes is also a reason.This time...

No one continued to talk about this topic.Officials don't like to argue very much. Some things can be said and done. Officials have their own decisions about how to do it. Cabinet debates can't change the official's mind.

"Zirong, how is the progress of the matter I have arranged in the workshop city?"

"Return to the official's house, it has been completed, and it will be activated at any time."

Seeing that the officials had changed the topic with Su Song, everyone put aside the personal conquest for the time being.

The King of Northern Liao's personal conquest... Let's wait and see what happens next.

The role of morale on soldiers is that even ministers who don't know military affairs also know its importance.What's the use if the officials don't mention it?Now it is not the Zhenzong dynasty, and the Song Dynasty is not at a disadvantage. It is not a matter of life and death.

After more than ten years of deep palace throne, after all, the courage of the officials has been smoothed out...

"Then let's activate it. When people bring it to the front of the hall, they will have a direct impression... Zhongzheng, you go to the lecture hall and ask Di Qing to wait for the old man..."

The members of the cabinet don't know what the officials mean, so they don't get involved, and are waiting for the officials to announce...

There are more than a dozen carriages, similar to chariots, and there is no difference in appearance from chariots, which makes the cabinet very puzzled.I don't understand why the officials ordered the workshop city to send these dozens of chariots when they were discussing important matters.

"Official, enable it?"
