"The bravery of the Song army is far beyond my expectations." Yelu Dashi thought about it.

Although he was paying attention to Li Yanxian, he was actually thinking about Yue Fei.

Just like the tactics Yelu Dashi used on the battlefield at this time, when dealing with the entire Song army, Yelu Dashi also adhered to his concept of gathering elite soldiers to fight.

For example, he concentrated all his main forces in the north, leaving only [-] soldiers and horses in the city of Husi Ordu.

His strategy was to use the defense of Husi Ordu City to hold Yue Fei back, defeat Li Yanxian with a superior force, and then move south with a large army to encircle Yue Fei.

The most critical thing here is the rhythm of the battlefield in the north.

Yelu Dashi's initial arrangement was to surround Li Yanxian and take advantage of the characteristics of the Song army's expedition to fight a protracted war with the Song army. After the Song army ran out of food and grass, they would collapse without a fight.

But after Erbusi's last tentative attack, Yelu Dashi discovered that the Song army had new weapons, so he gave up the idea of ​​a protracted war of encircling but not attacking, and instead fought a quick battle with Li Yanxian, and then went south to fight against the Husi Ordo city. Xiao Wuli assassinated Yue Fei.

The whole strategic layout is very delicate.

It also reflects the core concept of Yelu Dashi's use of troops.

However, there is never a perfect solution in this world.

Yelu Dashi also knew that his strategy had a fatal loophole.

Don't look at the current advantage of the Liao army, but if Li Yanxian fights to the death, the Liao army cannot quickly defeat the Song army's vitality, the main force of Yelu Dashi is held back, and Yue Fei takes Husi Ordo City in a short time, then Yelu Dashi It will be very passive.

This is also the weakness of Yelu Dashi's military characteristics.

The strengths are obvious, as are the weaknesses.

It was Yue Fei in the south who Yelu Dashi was worried about at this time, because the courage shown by Li Yanxian had indeed greatly exceeded his expectations.

The most elite heavy cavalry of the Liao army could not defeat the infantry of the Song army for an hour.

After Li Yanxian defeated the Ge Luolu people, Bingfeng had already aimed at the main infantry of the Liao army.

But he did not attack rashly, because the number of crossbow arrows and heavy infantry of the main infantry of the Liao army was very large.

From a distance, it looks like iron walls stretched across the grassland.

Blood rolled down from the helmet, Li Yanxian looked ahead, as if he saw Yelu Dashi's stern face, as if he heard Yelu Dashi's provocation.

The two sides confronted each other hundreds of meters away.

After a while, Li Yanxian suddenly turned around and even led the people back to kill.

"Your Majesty! The Song army has withdrawn!"

Yelu Dashi's expression finally became gloomy. He actually hoped that the Song army would kill him.

The withdrawal of the Song army meant that this elite Song army had joined the main battlefield ahead.

This will undoubtedly prolong the duration of the war and increase uncertainty.

However, Yelu Dashi did not order to act immediately, he was waiting for the opportunity.

Li Yanxian turned around and killed back, and quickly headed towards Yelu Yanshan Department to kill again.

I don't know how long it took, Yelu Dashi received a more comprehensive battle report again.

Erbusi on the left fell into a hard fight. Although the main infantry of the Song army collapsed, the Liao army also paid a huge price for it.

The [-] cavalry on Yeluyan Mountain on the right had completely lost control and were scattered scattered on the grassland for more than ten miles or twenty miles. As for how many people died in the battle, no one knew.

But whether the Song army collapsed across the board, no one can answer.

It is obviously unrealistic to send additional Uighur cavalry, Turkic cavalry, and Ge Luolu cavalry now. Before Li Yanxian defeated Basimi and Pei Dagan in a row, the Uyghur cavalry, Ge Luolu cavalry, and even the Turkic cavalry had already been frightened.

The horns of the Liao army sounded, and the main infantry began to move forward and enter the main battlefield.

The war lasted until evening, stretching for dozens of miles.

The Liao army won.

But Yelu Dashi's heart was suspended.

Because the reported news did not show that the Song army's vital forces had been wiped out.

This means that tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the Song army may make a comeback.

"My intention was seen through by Li Yanxian!" Yelu Dashi said with emotion in a low voice, "He wants to hold me back!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhu Gu'er and said, "How about the information in the south?"

"Your Majesty, there is no latest information from the south."

On the seventh day of the eighth lunar month, the tiger thinks about the city of Ordu.

Just after dawn, Yue Fei began to review the three armies.

"Yue Shuai, the Liao army in the city is still not sending troops."

Yue Fei ordered: "Prepare to attack the city!"

At this time, twenty heavy artillery were placed outside the city.

Yue Fei said: "Yelu Dashi must have gathered heavy troops in the north, and used the Ge Luolu people to lure us to divide our troops. He wants to defeat Li Yanxian with superior forces, and then go south to surround us."

In fact, Yue Fei used this move in the Battle of Yancheng in history, and it was a great test of the strength of the army.

It's not that there is no way to crack it. There is no such thing as a famous general like Yue Fei who can say that he was deceived by a certain scheme and then lost.

Victory or defeat on the battlefield is not just as simple as a simple strategy.

Yue Fei could see at a glance that Yelu Dashi's strategy had a fatal weakness.

That is Husi Ordu City in front of you.

Yelu Dashi made a little calculation. During the siege battle, the Song army had already developed heavy artillery. The appearance of heavy artillery made the city defense unbreakable and became history.

The horns of the Song army sounded, and twenty heavy artillery were lined up outside the city like twenty huge beasts.

The Liao army at the top of the city was vigilant, and armored infantry went up to the top of the city, and the archers were also ready.

Soldiers from the Song Army Artillery Battalion pushed huge stones over.

bang bang bang...

Following the sound of the heavy artillery carriage, a huge stone rose into the sky, and twelve stones smashed on the top of the city in an instant.

There were eight more that crossed the top of the city and smashed into it.

The twelve huge boulders fell from the sky in unison, and the people on the top of the city only felt the ground tremble violently.

However, a few of them hit the crowd, and Liao Jun, who was hit head-on, deformed on the spot, and the huge impact shattered the ground, pushing several people around.

There are also several cracks in the wall.

PS: Guys, I always feel that I have been in a trance recently, and my work efficiency has dropped sharply.

Chapter 1371 Artillery Propulsion (First Change)

Under the blue sky, the grassland has been dyed golden yellow.

The autumn wind roared, and the flags of the Song army fluttered.

After the first round of heavy artillery bombardment, there were bursts of screams and terrified shouts from the top of the city.

The yelling of the officers can also be vaguely heard.

The stone that hit the city wall rolled down to the foot of the wall, shaking up patches of dust.

The world slowly returned to dead silence.

With a creak, the soldiers of the Song Army put down new stones one after another.

With the dull sound of the fuselage of the heavy artillery, twenty stones were thrown into the air again and smashed towards the top of the city indiscriminately.

Boom boom boom...

The Liao army, who had just calmed down but was still wrapped in fear, once again felt the vibration of the city wall under their feet.

The Liao army who was hit by the smash had blood on their heads and broken bones on the spot, and the huge inertia directly plowed several people away.

Although the scope of damage was not large, the second wave also killed about [-] people from the Liao army.

But the oppressive feeling that came from the sky, shook the ground, and shattered the walls made people feel suffocated.

"Archers! Archers!" the officers couldn't help shouting, and they drew their knives and pointed at the city.

The Liao army began to frantically draw their bows and shoot towards the Song army. The dense rain of arrows fell on the ground one after another.

The Song army was at a distance of 200 meters, and the Liao army's bows and arrows could not reach it.

In a daze, the Liao army still did not stop shooting arrows.

Yue Fei frowned slightly, stared deeply at the top of the city, and said, "Until the city wall collapses!"

For Yue Fei, the most important thing now is to do everything possible to quickly capture Husi Ordu City.

He doesn't know how long Li Yanxian can hold Yelu Dashi, but he can confirm that after capturing Husi Ordu City, it will have a huge psychological impact on Yelu Dashi.

The Song army began to continuously bombard the city wall with heavy artillery.

Boom boom boom...

Huge stones bombarded the wall one after another, leaving cracked pits and shaking up streaks of dust.

The infantry of the Song Army at the front suddenly burst into shouts: "Long live the Song Dynasty! Long live the emperor!"

The sound swept up like a sea wave, and it became more and more loud, resounding through the heaven and the earth.

Everyone in the city looked up towards the north of the city, towards the direction where the voice came from.

Even women, children and old people came out and looked at the sky over there with terrified eyes.

"what happened?"

"Is the true god angry?"

"Marshal, the Song Army's trebuchets are powerful!"

Xiao Wuli's expression was ashen, and he said loudly: "Everyone is ready to fight!"

After speaking, he turned over and rode on the horse.

At this time, a group of armored cavalry came from the direction of the palace, and they surrounded a woman.

This woman is Xiao Ta Buyan, the queen of Yelu Dashi.

"Your Majesty, why are you here!" Xiao Wuli was slightly startled, and hurriedly said, "This place is dangerous, please return to the palace quickly, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Ta doesn't smoke but has a solemn expression, her gaze is burning like a torch, and when she scans the surroundings, everyone's eyes fall on her.

Everyone looked at the empress who lived and died with Emperor Tianyou and walked all the way, and couldn't help feeling respectful.

Xiao Ta Buyan said loudly: "Warriors of Daliao! We followed His Majesty the Emperor God Bless, overcame thorns and thorns all the way, came here to rebuild our homeland! Now those Song people want to kill our children and seize our women , let us become slaves! Do we have to submit to others like this for the stability we bought with blood!"

Her voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing across the city.

"Niang Niang..." Xiao Wuli's heart trembled.

The soldiers of the Liao army in iron armor immediately stood up straight on the street, their expressions were solemn, and their eyes became more determined.

"The army of His Majesty the God Bless the Emperor has defeated the enemy in the north, and the iron cavalry of Daliao are coming back from the south!"

"And now, for our homeland! For our children! We must fight to the death with the people of Song Dynasty!" As he said, Xiao Ta Buyan drew out his saber and shouted, "We will never retreat!"

The soldiers' blood surged immediately, and they shouted: "Never retreat in a deadly battle! Never retreat in a deadly battle..."

The sound spread in the city, and more and more armored soldiers shouted.

All fear was dispelled by the shout of unity.

Guarding the homeland has never been limited to Song people.

Boom boom boom...

The loud sound of heavy artillery shelling on the city wall echoed in the sky.

Finally, under the continuous bombardment of the Song army, a part of the city wall collapsed, leaving only a wall less than half a meter away, exposing a large area.

The Liao army standing there ran away in a hurry, and those who had no time to escape fell down together with the collapsed city wall and were submerged in the rubble.

After the city wall was blown down, the Song army's army burst out again, shaking the sky.

Afterwards, the loud horn sounded in the formation of the Song army with flags fluttering.

The Infantry Armor of the First and Second Battalions of the First Army of the Gongsheng Army began to move.
