I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 934 Victory in the First Battle
During the one or two hundred li that Da Song's team advanced northward, Beiliao was more familiar with the topography of this area than Da Song.

Although hundreds of thousands of troops marched northward, they still couldn't make a seamless advance, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that there were gaps everywhere.this is the truth.

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult for Northern Liao to dispatch elite cavalry to sneak behind the front line of Song Dynasty... Da Song is waiting.

As the team advanced, Beiliao avoided the sharp edge and retreated step by step.If it is said that the Northern Liao Dynasty cannot compete with the Great Song Dynasty at all, even the confident ministers and generals will not have such a cognition.

A person who has been passed down for more than a hundred years and has always been the strongest in this land, even if he is weak, he will not dare to fight Da Song.

Although Yelu Yixin's rebellion had indeed had a considerable impact on the Northern Liao Dynasty, the army of the Northern Liao court, relying on the momentum of suppressing the rebellion and victory, was even more unlikely to dare to fight.

Step back step by step, naturally has another purpose.

As for Da Song, two tentative battles failed, and he naturally implemented the tactics of steady advancement.

To a certain extent, both sides are normal... In fact, each has their own concerns.

In the end, Beiliao still couldn't hold back, or this was originally the established strategy of Beiliao.

Beiliao took action...

Since the imperial court received the information that Beiliao was planning to send troops, the Hall of Qinzheng began to be on duty again.Zhao Xi, on the other hand, moved directly into the Palace of Qinzheng.

The meaning and influence of the first battle, as long as anyone who has led the team knows it, this time is the real first battle between Song Dynasty and Beiliao!

"20 riders! All the leather troops spent [-] days sneaking behind the army. It seems that Beiliao is very confident in this battle..."

Yizhou, Xincheng, Gu'an, and Wuqing, these are the cities laid down by the four front-line armies, and they are now stabilizing the city defenses and cleaning up the surrounding areas of the cities... Song people's preference for cities is deeply rooted.

It is precisely because of this that there is a large gap behind him, that is, the connection of the four armies cannot be seamless and timely.

"How will Beiliao fight?"

"Destroy the grain roads and surround the points for reinforcements. The advantages of the cavalry will be brought into full play."

For the distance of more than a hundred miles, for the elite cavalry of the Beiliao, the configuration of one man and three cavalry can retreat back to the defense line of the Beiliao army at any time.

According to intelligence, Song Guo's advance team is still dominated by chariot soldiers.Most of the more than 5 Fanqi in the Song Dynasty had been transferred to Hedong Road and the Northwest by this time.

It seems that Daliao's suspects in Hedong Road and the northwest have worked.

Looking at the battles of the Song Dynasty in these years, they are all guaranteed to win, and there is no courage to break the boat...
[-] fine riders, divided into four groups, raiding and harassing, encircling and fighting for aid, in this small area, it is completely possible to take care of each other.Therefore, this time, Beiliao also believed that it was a sure-win situation. At the very least, when the battle was not going well, it could retreat completely and retreat within the line of defense.

In fact?

"Order the front line to release all the auxiliary cavalry, connect the defense lines of the four armies, and make the connection as seamless as possible. Instruct the cavalry of the wounded and sick battalion to be ready to attack at any time. I only have one request, that the five Wan Jingqi, keep them all!"

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..."
