I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 950
Expectations are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Because the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty led the elite to disappear, the generals of all parties in the entire Northern Liao Dynasty were in a state of uncertainty when they went out to fight.

War must be fought, and everyone knows that if you don't fight, you will die.The reason why they are restless is that they are waiting for their emperor, who can lead the elite to fight from behind the Northwest Army of the Song Dynasty and the Yunzhou Army, so as to open the passage to the north for the army of Daliao.

As for the so-called winning this battle, few people really have confidence.I only hope that their emperor, His Majesty, can really strategize and save hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Daliao.

It's surrounded now...
The combat contact between the two sides first started from the front, that is, the Chinese army.However, when the battle started, they were completely suppressed by Song Guo.

The Beiliao organization counterattacked very hastily. It was originally planning to launch another attack on Song State today. It was not an offensive war, let alone a defensive war.

The hastily organized cavalry had no tactics at all except for the original organization.

It's not that Xiao Dai is not a famous general, nor is it that the cavalry in Beiliao did not obey orders, but that the time was too hasty and they were not given enough time to deploy.

Since the great war was launched in the Song Dynasty, Xiao Da was still preparing for today's fire horse array...

When the troops of the Song Dynasty had advanced less than [-] miles away from the Central Army of the Northern Liao Dynasty, the Northern Liao Army sent out troops in full gear.

Therefore, when the battle started, Beiliao was already at a disadvantage.Moreover, the two wings of the Song Army also surrounded the Central Army of Beiliao at the same time, and the three armies of chariots, muskets, and fan cavalry also advanced in coordination.

That is to say, the entire war was premeditated by Song State...

"Will His Majesty really launch an attack from behind the army on Song Guobei Road?"

"Obviously, it is impossible for the Song Dynasty to launch a general attack without finding out whether there is an ambush behind it."

"The Northwest and Yunzhou armies of the Song Dynasty came from the northwest. If His Majesty led his elite troops to attack northward, or deploy a roundabout attack, how could they not encounter it?"

"If you want to avoid the North Song Army and complete the final attack from behind, you must stagger at least fifty miles away from the North Song Army... Everyone knows that the current scouts of the Song Dynasty are fifty miles away... ..."

"If the elites led by His Majesty attacked from behind when the Northern Route Army of the Song Dynasty launched an encirclement campaign, it would take at least two hours? Hold on for another two hours and see."

Many questions arose and then fell in the hearts of the generals of the entire Northern Liao Dynasty.Seeing one's own defense line being pierced by the Song Army's artillery fire again and again... It's tangled!

Xiao Dai is also waiting, waiting for His Majesty to launch an attack from behind the Song Guobei Army... He thinks His Majesty will not really leave the army and run away...

Wait... According to the information His Majesty said at the time, Song's Northern Route Army should arrive at the front line in two days at the earliest...

It's over!His Majesty lied to everyone, using the Northern Route Army of the Song Dynasty as a new force, borrowed the donkey from the slope, and led the elite to leave.Before leaving, I also searched for some of the war horses of the tribes...
My lord, this is your Daliao, and they are all your generals, why are you like this?
Xiao Da also figured it out.

His Majesty did this to let them, who still have an army of nearly 20, resist the attack of the Song Dynasty, thereby delaying the progress of the Song Army going north, so that His Majesty can calmly evacuate from Xijin Mansion in Nanjing... ··

And they, including those who were completely discarded by His Majesty.

What His Majesty took away was the only remaining elite palace guard in Daliao.And these people who stayed in Nanjing Road are the so-called string control people...
In other words, His Majesty has completely given up on Yan Yun.

The catastrophe is imminent.

Xiao Dai is not also in the army but also has relatives.

"Crisis in the north. Nearly 20 troops are going south. I'm afraid they won't be able to resist His Majesty's attack from behind. Let's build three more lines of defense. This commander will go north and join His Majesty..."

Xiao Dai also left, if he didn't leave, it would be too late.

On the current battlefield, the ending seems to be doomed.

Song State not only has an advantage in equipment, but also has an advantage in the number of troops.

Originally, there were 20 troops in Hebei Road, and the total army in Hedong Road and Northwest Road was almost 60 to [-].

Daliao's 50 troops may be able to confront Song's 20, but with the same force, the current Daliao has no power to fight back against Song...
Beiliao's King's Banner fell?

The soldiers in the fighting state may not be able to see it, but standing on the chariot, following the army, looking around with clairvoyance, and watching the battle situation, the Chinese army officials can see it.

"Officials, the King's Banner of Beiliao is gone!"

Zhao Xi didn't watch the battle scene... the scene of cold weapons facing hot weapons, he can't say he has seen it in later generations, but he has seen many descriptions.

Besides, even if the Song Dynasty can crush the Beiliao, after all, there are still dead people, and there are still batches of dead people.That feeling is not good...

There was a lot of shouting and killing on the battlefield, and there were overlapping explosions of gunpowder shells one after another.But Zhang Dun howled and shouted "The King's Banner of Beiliao is gone", Zhao Xi still heard it.

The emperor of Northern Liao escaped?There is only this possibility.

"Communicate the North Route Army, send [-] cavalry to the east, set up a battlefield in Xijin Mansion as much as possible, and strive to complete the interception of the Emperor of Beiliao!"

"In addition, let the whole army shout to Beiliao, and tell the emperor of Beiliao to run away!"

It cannot be said that Zhao Xi's arrangement was wrong. He also knew that it was impossible to form an airtight encirclement on the huge plain of Hebei Road.

The Northwest and Yunzhou armies are only 20 at full strength, which cannot be compared with the South Army on the Hebei Road side.

South Road, this is the result of the continuous increase of troops in the past two years. The number of chariots and cavalry has almost reached the same level.However, the North Road will not work. The 20 army is still running for a long distance, mainly cavalry, and it is difficult to form a seamless encirclement.

Doing this is a precautionary measure, maybe there is a possibility of intercepting the emperor of Beiliao...

The King's Banner is indeed gone, and the Song Army's shouting made the soldiers of Beiliao pay attention to the Chinese Army. The result is: the King's Banner is indeed gone.In other words, His Majesty has withdrawn from the battlefield.

The battlefield was already showing signs of being one-sided, but the disappearance of the King's Banner completely deprived the soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty of the morale to continue fighting.

At this moment, the result is basically doomed.

Perhaps the soldiers at the bottom were hesitant, but those generals and tribal leaders at the top of the Northern Liao court understood it in an instant.

Your Majesty not only escaped, but also escaped three days ago...
As long as he is a leader or a general, he does not leave a way out for himself. It seems that they are all preparing for the failure of this battle. They should not have expected such a miserable defeat...

Therefore, when the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Song Dynasty called the emperor of Beiliao to flee on the battlefield with a radius of hundreds of miles, it was not only the low-level cavalry in Beiliao who lost morale, but also who else lost their morale? The leader of the power, and the general of a little status.

Some generals will even send scouts to the Chinese army to verify, and some generals will believe it directly.

This is not something that Xiao Dai is particular about. After confirming that His Majesty has left the battlefield, when he led his personal guards to break through, he asked the guards of the Chinese army to withdraw the king's flag... His Majesty abandoned Yan Yun, all the soldiers There is no need to continue working hard for Yan Yun of Daliao.

In short, after everyone confirmed that His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao had retreated, the battlefield was no longer the same...Because the Northern Liao cavalry who were still fighting bravely could no longer find their superiors...
In fact, the chaos of the Great War in the Northern Liao Dynasty began at Maoshi today, or in other words, it was already doomed when Yelu Hongji led the elite to escape three days ago.

Still in the Gaoliang River area, after more than a hundred years, history repeats itself, but the winners and losers are switched...
Therefore, in the area of ​​Nanjing Road in the Northern Liao Dynasty, north of the North Road in the Song Dynasty, and in the whole territory of Hebei in later generations, a chase began...
"Officials, there is no decent defense in the Northern Liao Dynasty. The army is now advancing... No, or marching is more suitable."

Zhang Dun is still watching the battlefield with clairvoyant eyes. The central army is like this, and the two wings should be like this too.If there were real wars, it should be that the Northern Route Army had more wars.

As for large-scale battles, with the current morale of the Northern Liao Army, even the Northern Route Army would not be able to encounter resistance of a certain intensity from the Northern Liao... Beiliao has no morale.

"Officials, maybe today's army can capture the Jin Mansion!"

Zhang Dun was very excited, or in other words, everyone in the Chinese military palace tent was excited, even the little officials who kept passing the documents were brisk in their steps.

Recovering Yanyun has been the obsession of the Great Song Dynasty since the establishment of the dynasty. One can imagine, what kind of reward will the court give to the victory of recovering Yanyun this time?
Anyone who participated in this battle will receive corresponding rewards...
"Release all the cavalry and let them fight freely. Now it's a pursuit battle, and the speed of the chariot soldiers and musketeers still can't keep up..."

The Pan cavalry team has long held back their energy. Seeing the deserters from Beiliao, they can't leave the team that fights together, and can only push forward with the chariot soldiers.

At this time, the officials ordered the cavalry to attack, just like letting go of Doumen, the cavalry teams of various armies, the auxiliary cavalry teams, and the later recruited cavalry teams all rushed out...
The chariot soldiers, who were originally the main force of the battle, are now cleaning the battlefield... Continue to implement the marching style, whether it is the two wings or the central army, all march towards the Jinfu of the Northern Liao Dynasty...

After more than a hundred years, the scene is so similar.It's a pity that the emperor of Beiliao escaped first.

The so-called siege is completely unnecessary.In fact, the deployment of encirclement and suppression on the entire Hebei Plain is not something that these hundreds of thousands of soldiers can accomplish.

I remember that one of the three major battles in later generations was also on this land. At the beginning, there were nearly 200 million troops on both sides, but they only achieved a sweep, not a total annihilation.Only achieved total annihilation on a specific battlefield.Compared with such a big battle, in the current era, with the current equipment installed, it is impossible to achieve complete annihilation.

However, the effective annihilation of the vital forces of the Northern Liao Dynasty scheduled before the war should have been completed.

At this time, the four-way army of Song Dynasty no longer moved closer to the middle road, and it was no longer needed.At the moment when the Northern Liao Dynasty was defeated, the palace account had already ordered that all armies, based on the original strategic goals, move northward...

Zheke attacked Zhuozhou, Zhou Tong attacked Huoyin, Wang Shunchen attacked Anci, Gao Jingting led the Weizhou army to attack Liangxiang, Zhe Keshi led the Yunzhou army to attack Gaohe, Zhongyi defended Juyongguan, and wiped out the entire Fenghua Prefecture, Guihua Prefecture, Ruzhou, Cao Lin went north to Tanzhou...

According to the established strategy, after defeating the defense line of the Northern Liao Dynasty, each army will sweep the surrounding cities of the Xijin Mansion of the Beiliao Liao, and ensure that the central army, that is, the central part of Zhongjian, will return all the surrounding cities before attacking the Xijin Mansion. Song Dynasty occupied.

At the same time, such a deployment can minimize the possibility of the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty and the nobles of various forces escaping, or cut off their escape routes to the greatest extent.

As a result, the entire Nanjing Road in the Northern Liao Dynasty became a battlefield...

Zhang Dun also gave up watching the battle, because looking around the Chinese army, he couldn't see the battle at all.At this time, the Chinese army has become a pure march.

And the ministers and workers in the palace tent let the soldiers open the compartments of the chariots, and they were all talking about the scenery of the Nanjing Road in Beiliao... There was really nothing to do.

Even those who have been sent to Beiliao are recalling the road they have walked...
At this time, Zhao Xi fell asleep in his carriage.It's been two months and I haven't had a good night's sleep.

From the offensive to the defense of the army, waiting for the lack of supplies in the territory of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the panic of the crowd, waiting for the troops to be dispatched from the northwest, and waiting for the Yunzhou army to cross Juyongguan... Since then, the Song Dynasty has had some difficulties in the battle situation. passive.

Beiliao attacked with the Crazy Horse Formation, and the ministers and workers suggested that the Chinese army's tents should be retreated. Zhao Xi carried it hard. In fact, at that time, he was not sure that he would be able to carry through the Crazy Horse Formation of Beiliao. attack.

If it weren't for trying to wipe out the vital forces of the Northern Liao Dynasty as much as possible, the Great Song Dynasty could have used artillery fire to open the way and advance directly like today.

Fortunately, there were no surprises, and the expected goal was finally achieved.

At this moment, Zhao Xi felt at ease, and wanted to take a rest, but fell asleep.

Wang Zhongzheng is leaning against the door... I really feel sorry for the official family.

"Report..."

Wang Zhongzheng stabbed the messenger to death, and the officials fell asleep for more than an hour.

This is a battlefield, even Wang Zhongzheng didn't dare to stop the messenger...

"Officials, the vanguard team has arrived at Xijin Mansion. A report came from the Vanguard Battalion. The city gate of Xijin Mansion is wide open. The fortifications on the city wall are still there, but there are no soldiers."

"The scouts in front of the Qianfeng Battalion entered the city to find out, and there was not a single Beiliao official left in the Xijin Mansion, and the prisons were empty..."

When Zhao Xi arrived at the palace tent, Wang Anshi excitedly reported the report of the Qianfeng Battalion.But Zhao Xi was not happy at all.

"Everyone, Yelu Hongji probably escaped before my army launched a general attack!"

Although not sure, Zhao Xi was six to seven percent sure that this would be the result.Otherwise, it is impossible for Yelu Hongji not to arrange guards for the Xijin Mansion, and it is impossible to just give up the Xijin Mansion...
