Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Yelu Dashi came to the front of the Song army's formation and saw that the Song army had already set up its formation, like an iron barrel.Yelu Dashi asked Xiao Qian: "The Song army has a complete lineup, how can they attack?"

Xiao Qian replied: "Now our army is carrying the power of yesterday's great victory, and its morale is strong. Although the Song army is in good order, there are many people who look frightened. This is a sign of long-lost battle formations, and our army has been fighting against the enemy for many years. Although most of the Jin army's battles failed, the soldiers under his command were all battle-hardened. Now that the Southerners are attacking, if they fail, it will be the end of the country and the destruction of the species. As the saying goes, a sad army will win. Under such circumstances, we should fight. "

Yelu Dashi looked to the left and right, and all the officers and soldiers had expressions of sadness and anger on their faces, so he made up his mind and waved the flag. The Liao army first used bows and arrows to shoot at the Song army on the opposite side, and then the cavalry and infantry swarmed up.

When Zhong Shidao saw the Liao army coming to attack, he also ordered his men to draw their bows and crossbows and shoot at them.The entire battlefield was suddenly filled with arrows like locusts, which actually covered the sky with haze.After one round of shooting, the surviving Liao soldiers had already reached the front of the formation. When they saw that the front army of the Song soldiers was about to collapse under the charge of the cavalry, a group of men and horses emerged from the rear army. The sergeants all held a stick in their hands and rushed forward. Come up.

In this battle, the Liao soldiers had complete armor, both cavalry and infantry were wearing armor and had distinctive weapons.On the other hand, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty had not fought for many years. In addition, the garrison officials were corrupt and withheld food and pay. The soldiers were arrogant and lazy and only knew how to harm the people. Their armors were worn out and their weapons were uneven.Therefore, when the two armies clashed, the Song soldiers found that it was difficult to hurt people with the weapons in their hands, while the Liao soldiers on the opposite side were attacking each other with swords, which was difficult to resist.

The Liao soldiers gained the upper hand and charged forward one by one. At this time, the team of sergeants holding sticks also came forward.I saw that the sergeants were not afraid of death. They rushed up and knocked the Liao soldiers to the ground with a stick, and continued to advance forward. The rear troops followed and stabbed the fallen Liao soldiers to death with random spears.

It turned out that Zhong Shidao also found that the Song soldiers were extremely poorly equipped and found it difficult to compete with the Liao soldiers. He selected more than [-] death squads overnight, and each person had a heavy stick in the equipment, waiting for the Liao soldiers to attack today.Although the Liao soldiers were brightly armored, they could not help but fall to the ground when the stick was struck. The heavy armor on their bodies made it difficult to get up for a while, and they were stabbed to death by the Song soldiers who followed.

With this team of troops, they were able to withstand the Liao soldiers' offensive. For a time, the battlefield was in a stalemate, with the two sides fighting against each other, each suffering casualties.

Seeing that it was approaching noon, Yelu Dashi could not be attacked for a long time, and the men and horses were exhausted at this time, so it was not suitable to fight again, so he paid gold to withdraw his troops and returned to camp to rest and prepare for another fight.

After the Liao soldiers retreated, Zhong Shidao gathered his troops and horses and counted the numbers of each army.Not long after, each battalion came to report that the Song army lost more than [-] people in this battle, and more than half of the death squads of more than [-] people were killed or injured.After hearing the report, Zhong Shidao sighed in his heart. Although he came here with his troops, his main force was still in the northwest to defend Xixia, and the team assigned to him here were all people who had been away from the battlefield for a long time. They had just arrived on the battlefield. Everyone is afraid of fighting, and everyone shrinks back.If it weren't for the elite under his command to form a death squad, I am afraid that the Liao soldiers would have broken through the camp and been defeated thousands of miles away.

Thinking of this, Zhong Shidao had no choice but to pass on the order, ordering his own bodyguards to be cut off and the army to withdraw to Xiongzhou.

Here, Yelv Dashi's army was making food. Suddenly, a spy came to report that they saw flags waving in the Song army's camp and people shouting and horses neighing, as if they wanted to retreat.Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian quickly mounted their horses to watch.I saw that the Song camp was still heavily guarded, and there was smoke and dust in the rear, but the flags were not in disorder, and the remaining Song soldiers all had fierce looks in their eyes and were waiting in full formation.

Seeing such a situation, Yelu Dashi said helplessly to Xiao Qian: "Zhong Shidao is indeed a famous general in the northwest. I have also heard Xixia envoys talk about this man many times. Although he is old now, watching his retreat, I know that he is under great fame. , Sure enough, if our army catches up immediately, we are afraid of being ambushed, and the Song soldiers in front of us do not look like ordinary people. They must be the elites he brought from the Northwest Army. In their eagerness, they may fall into a bitter battle and lose their lives in vain. The lives of the officers and men. How about our army having enough food and drink, and when his army gradually retreats, we will attack him and catch up slowly?" Xiao Qian deeply agreed and nodded in agreement.

Not to mention that Zhong Shidao followed the army to retreat to Xiongzhou. On the other side, the East Route Army was also stubbornly blocked by the Liao Army in Fan Village. The two armies started a tug-of-war in Fan Village.Xin Xingzong, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, saw that all the Song soldiers under his command were weak and failed to defeat the Liao army after several attacks. He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Today, when I was looking at the Liao Army barracks, I suddenly saw a handsome flag erected at the center of the army, with the word "xiao" embroidered on it. I was suspicious and didn't know who was coming.While waiting and watching, a cannon shot was heard in the Liao camp, the camp door opened wide, and the Liao army surrounded the commander and came out.

It turned out that the person who came here was Xiao Qian, the deputy commander of the Liao Army. Commander Yelu Dashi saw that Zhong Shidao was withdrawing his troops and was afraid that Fan Village would be lost, so he decided to personally lead the Liao troops to pursue the Song Army's West Route Army and ordered Xiao Qian to come to Fan Village. The village supervises the battle and strives to annihilate the Song Dynasty's Eastern Route Army here.

Xin Xingzong, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, was a close general of Tong Guan. He once accompanied Tong Guan in the expedition against Fang La. Although he had a strategy, he was extremely jealous of talents.When Fangla raised his troops, Song Jiang was also causing trouble in Shandong. Zhang Shuye, the governor of Haizhou at that time, planned to defeat Song Jiang. Song Jiang was defeated and surrounded, and his retreat was cut off. He had no choice but to surrender to him and accept the recruitment.After Zhang Shuye surrendered to Song Jiang, he saw that he had a strategy, so he sent him to Xin Xingzong, the commander of the Heqian Army at that time.

Xin Xingzong didn't like Song Jiang's character. When he attacked Hangzhou, he only sent 1000 troops to him and ordered him to attack Hangzhou.At that time, there was a thief general named Fang Qifu and more than [-] thief soldiers in Hangzhou. Song Jiang's envoy defeated them. After this battle, most of Song Jiang's old troops were killed or wounded. Xin Xingzong took the opportunity to cover up the killing and defeated Fang La's army.

After the war, his generals came forward to ask for credit for Song Jiang. Xin Xingzong was jealous of Song Jiang's great achievements and said: "Song Jiang and other former big thieves, although they have made great contributions in breaking the city, they can only atone for their previous sins." Therefore, no reward was given.Song Jiang retreated in depression and raised troops again this year. However, because more than half of his old troops were killed or wounded, they were quickly suppressed by the officers and soldiers and were defeated and killed.

This time, Xin Xingzong led his troops here and fought several battles with the Liao soldiers, but returned without success. Xin Xingzong was furious and killed several generals in front of the formation to no avail. When he saw the Liao army commander coming to help, he immediately returned to camp to prepare. He led his troops to confront Sun's army on a flat area outside Fan Village.

Xiao Qian marched out of the crowd, came to the front of the formation, and said loudly: "You have raised unjust troops to harass our court. Our army is united to defend against foreign enemies. Now Zhong Shidao has been defeated and fled, leaving you alone." If we don't know the opportunity at this time, the army will press forward and take your lives!"

After hearing Xiao Qian's words, Song soldiers were shocked. Even famous generals like Zhong Shidao had been defeated. Now they were alone and helpless, so the soldiers wanted to retreat.Seeing the uproar in the army, Xin Xingzong shouted: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the Liao thieves. How can we, the benevolent and righteous troops, make mistakes? All armies listen to my orders and move forward with all their strength. Those who retreat will be killed immediately!"

Xiao Qian, who was on the opposite side, laughed loudly and said: "I was originally commanding on the West Road, but now I am here. Why do you have so much free time? Don't you think about it?" After that, he stopped talking to Xin Xingzong and ordered As soon as the flag was waved, the Liao soldiers behind them swarmed out and came straight to the Song soldiers' formation.

Xin Xingzong commanded his troops to fight, but Xiao Qian's words just now really shook the morale of the Song soldiers. Therefore, as soon as the two armies came into contact, the Song soldiers were defeated.The front army retreated, but the rear army, unknown, still moved forward. The two phases pushed each other, causing the formation to scatter.The Liao soldiers took the opportunity to attack the formation and massacred all parties. Only the Song soldiers who were killed were crying for their fathers and mothers, and were in a state of panic.

Xin Xingzong led his bodyguards to fight desperately. Even after killing several defeated soldiers, they still couldn't stop the decline. Knowing that the battle was decided today, he had no choice but to flee in panic with the rest of his troops under the protection of everyone.Xiao Qian's army pursued and covered up the enemy and made numerous gains, leaving only the Song soldiers lying dead all over the field.
