The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 53 Zhang Cheng: "Press forward with the big banner!"

Hebei, Zhending Prefecture,

The mighty army is like a dragon emerging from the sea, marching forward in orderly steps.
"Whoosh!"

The black dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and a whistling sound continued to be heard.
Under the huge dragon banner, a warhorse was breathing heavily.
"Your Majesty, Yelu Zongzhen of the Liao Kingdom has dispatched an army of 200,000 and intends to fight us in Youzhou!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in front of him, Di Qing never dreamed that he would one day seize the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Hearing Di Qing's words, Zhang Cheng rubbed his chin and said, "This Yelu Zongzhen does have a bit of temper!"

But just as he finished speaking, Zhang Cheng looked at the army not far away and said, "But I am not a pushover! If he really thinks I am Zhao Guangyi, then I will show him how resolute this new Ming Dynasty is!"

When Zhao Guangyi's name was mentioned, the generals around him were all ashamed.
Because the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were about to be conquered at that time, but Zhao Guangyi played a magical trick and shattered all hopes!

Anyone who has fought in wars knows that the most dangerous part of a battle around a city is the food route.

But Zhao Guangyi refused to believe in evil. He was clearly besieging Youzhou, but he wanted to attack Huanglong directly.

Good fellow, in the battle of Gaoliang River, he drove his donkey cart for 200 miles overnight.

Not only did he outrun the Liao cavalry, but he also lost his own troops in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!

The Liao general Yelu Xiu'ge chased for a whole night but couldn't find Zhao Guangyi's whereabouts!

From then on, the Song Dynasty was completely at a disadvantage when facing the Liao Kingdom!

"Cousin, don't we care about Xixia?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Situ Yaozu couldn't help but ask,

"Li Yuanhao of Xixia, someone will take care of him for me!"

Thinking of the "kind father and filial son" of Xixia, Zhang Cheng had a meaningful expression.

The day Li Yuanhao wants to learn from Li Longji, that will be the day he dies.

Half a month later, Youzhou,
The army marched across a grassland-like wilderness, and the generals fell silent.
Because this doesn't look like Han territory at all, it's clearly "grassland outside the Great Wall"!

"Your Majesty, the Liao and Jin are less than thirty miles ahead!"

A scout came riding quickly and dismounted.
Hearing the scout's words, Zhang Cheng turned around and said, "Leave it to you, Di Qing!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will never let the Liao army come over!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Di Qing rode forward and began to command the army to form a battle array.

An hour later, a huge mass of cavalry appeared before their eyes like a tide.

Looking at the Liao army that looked like a sea of ​​mountains, many of the Ming army members tightly grasped their steel knives.

Riding forward, the Liao envoy shouted angrily, "Is the Emperor here? His Majesty has something to say!"

"There's no point in talking any more, go back and prepare for battle!"

Just as the Liao envoy opened his mouth, a soldier on horseback came forward and shouted angrily,

"Your Majesty, if you withdraw now, the annual tribute will continue as usual. Our Liao Kingdom should treat you with the same generosity as we treated the Song Dynasty!"

Hearing the soldier's words, the messenger couldn't help but shout.

"Did you hear that? Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the Liao people want us to leave our homeland and abandon our fellow countrymen who are so close to us."

Riding forward, I saw the dragon banner moving forward continuously.

Looking at the "dragon banner" that looked like a towering tree, all the soldiers showed solemn expressions.
"This is the Han Dynasty, not your horse ranch!"

Pulling out the long sword from his waist, Zhang Cheng roared: "The banner moves forward!"

"Go forward, move forward!"

With their swords raised, they roared. As the central army soldiers began to roar, the remaining Ming troops also roared hysterically.

"The falconets move forward, and the tiger crouching cannons are ready!"

Looking at the Liao army that was feeling the pressure from afar, Di Qing immediately roared,

"Crash!"

The soldiers in front of them scattered, and thousands of Francois cannons appeared in the positions.

At the moment when the Portuguese cannons were set up, a large number of tiger crouching cannons appeared in the back. "Your Majesty, it seems that the Ming army has made up its mind!"

When he came to Yelu Zongzhen, the King of the Northern Court spoke with a serious face,
"In that case, then there's no need to be polite! Let these Ming people have a taste of the Liao cavalry!"

Looking at the dragon banner not far away, Yelu Zongzhen drew the scimitar from his waist.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The horn sounded, and the Liao cavalry in front kept moving forward, finally galloping.
Looking at the Liao cavalry that was like a tide, Di Qing immediately stepped forward with his sword in hand and said, "Fire!"

"fire!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The drums of war sounded, and shells were continuously loaded into the guns.

"Boom boom boom!"

Under the violent explosion, the Liao army cavalry that was originally moving forward was blown away.
Seeing such a terrifying "Thunder Cannon", the Liao army generals also roared: "Disperse, disperse!"

Just as the Liao army was about to attack in a scattered manner, even more violent explosions were heard.
Looking up at the sky, I saw shells falling like raindrops.

Just as the Tiger Crouching Cannon caused a series of bombardments, Zhang Cheng sneered and said, "Order the Tibetan cavalry to move out!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The horn sounded, and a group of armored cavalry suddenly rushed out from behind the Ming army.

However, when they saw the other party's appearance, the Liao army was surprised, because wasn't this a Tibetan?
Why did they join the Ming army? Did Tubo lose the war?

Commanding the Tibetan cavalry, Wang Ping shouted angrily: "Tear up their left wing!"

"Where is the Pi Shi Army?"

The North Court King was busy commanding the battlefield, his eyes were full of frost.
Because he never expected that the Tibetan cavalry would appear here.
Just like the Jin people who came from the mountains and hills, the Tibetan cavalry would be as hungry as wolves once they saw their prey!

The two armies collided, and cavalrymen kept falling off their horses.

However, with the generous rewards, the Tibetan cavalry held on to the Pishi Army.
Looking at the Pishi Army that was no longer able to provide support, Yelu Zongzhen couldn't help but gasp and said, "Let the Tielin Army break through the enemy's front line!"

"No, Your Majesty, the Iron Forest Army is your guard!"

Looking at Yelu Zongzhen, the King of the Northern Courtyard became anxious.
Because if the Tielin Army suffered too much damage, it would shake the Liao Kingdom!

"Can the Liao Kingdom remain stable if we abandon the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?"

Looking at the King of the North Court beside him, Yelu Zongzhen knew very well that Yanyun must not be lost. Once Yanyun was lost, they would have to go back to the frontier to suffer again!

Wearing armor and mounting horses, the Tielin Army moved forward in silence.
After all 10,000 Tielin troops were deployed, Di Qing could not help but roar: "Shenji Battalion, move out!"

Soldiers armed with muskets appeared in neat steps.
Just as the front row of tens of thousands of people were crouching, the middle row were standing, and the back row were preparing, the Tielin Army had already rushed in front of them.

Even in the face of overwhelming attacks from the Tiger Crouching Cannon and the Portuguese Cannon, the Tielin Army suffered some damage, but they never wavered.
Feeling the strength of the Tielin Army, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said, "The Liao ace is a pity!"

"put!"

"Bang bang bang!"

With the sudden sound of gunfire, the Tielin Army in front of them fell to the ground.

As the three shots continued to move forward, white smoke covered the entire battlefield.
But after a moment, the smoke dissipated and a terrifying scene appeared.

That is, the invincible Tielin Army fell on the battlefield.

Seeing all this, Yelu Zongzhen roared with anger in his eyes: "The Iron Forest Army of my Great Liao is gone!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

Raising the sword in his hand and roaring, Zhang Cheng could not help but roar: "Dragon Banner forward!"

"kill!"

As the voice of unity rang out, the Khitan people seemed to have returned to the past, the days when they were beaten by the Central Plains dynasty and had their hands in their pockets, not daring to fight back!
