Chapter 1,248 Starting From Today, Song and Liao Are Reversed
The two armies of Song and Liao were strangulating each other, but the Song army launched a counterattack.
"Your Majesty, the Song Army has begun to counterattack."
Yelu Hongji saw it. He suppressed the eagerness in his heart and said: "Send the order, press down, press down the Song army."
Cavalry vs. infantry, once the morale is suppressed, the battle will be impossible to fight.
Amidst the sound of horns, the Liao army began to fight with all their strength.
But pieces of dark clouds were coming, either crossbow arrows, kerosene bombs, or gunpowder cans...
The Liao army fought to the death and refused to retreat.
How will this battle be?
no one knows.
Yelu Hongji hesitated.
These are his elite men. If there are too many losses here, even if this battle is a great victory, the Liao Kingdom will be ready for trouble after returning.
At this moment, he thought of Xiao Guanyin in the camp, and his eyes became colder.
The Song army attacked wave after wave, and they had no intention of retreating. They continued to launch counterattacks and pushed the Liao army back.
"The trend is great!"
Yelu Hongji knew that this battle could not be fought again.
He lowered his head and made his decision instantly.
"Withdraw, let the warriors withdraw."
He laughed and said, "The Song army is already frightened in this battle. Our army will come back temporarily."
After the order was given, the Liao army in front immediately began to react.
The Liao army at the rear moved around to both sides, and then the entire Liao army retreated.
"It's time for the cavalry on both wings to charge forward."
Guo Ang felt that this was a good opportunity to counterattack across the board.
But Shen An remained unmoved.
"Just order the cavalry on both wings to move slowly and protect the two wings of our army."
The Song Army has less than ten thousand cavalry, what kind of bullshit full-scale counterattack?
Once entangled by the Liao army, today's victory will be in vain.
Yes, in Shen An's opinion, the Song army won a great victory in this battle.
The swordsmen and axemen slashed all the way forward, and the crossbowmen continued to use crossbows to kill and injure the retreating Liao army.
When the two wings came into contact with the Liao cavalry, Shen An ordered the formation.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The two sides were in a stalemate again, but the morale of the Liao army was completely lost.
Fu Bi came back laughing, but failed to kill the enemy.
"Big victory, Anbei, hahahaha!"
Fu Bi held up his long sword and panted: "All the elites of the Liao army are here, but they can't do anything against our infantry. In the end, they were repulsed by our army... The Liao people relied the most on the Song Dynasty. What is it? Isn’t it just an invincible cavalry? How about a battle today?”
"The best of the Liao army came out." Shen An's voice was calm, but he clenched his fists, "But they are still helpless against our army. The Song Dynasty had brave infantry, crossbow formations, kerosene bombs, and Gunpowder pot...given time, we will be rich, given time, we will have the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, what do you think?"
Fu Bi closed his eyes, with tears falling, "If the Northern Expedition can succeed, I will be willing to die."
"Wan Sheng!"
Someone in front raised a head, and everyone cheered.
"That's General Liao."
Shen An said calmly: "Prime Minister Fu, just wait and see."
Last time at Yanmen Pass, Yelu Hongji could still make excuses. In the Baozhou battle, he could also say that the Liao army was not elite.
But after today's battle, what else can he say?
"The Liao's advantage over the Song people is gone forever."
In the Liao army formation, a civilian official said these words in pain.
There were all civil servants around him, and everyone was silent. Later someone said: "Your Majesty did not ask them to use all their strength."
The Liao army retreated in time, which can also be used as an excuse.
But this is just an excuse to coax ordinary people, this place is full of old ghosts.
"The Song Army still has many elite Forbidden Forces in Bianliang..."
The people of Song Dynasty didn't take out the treasure from the bottom of the box, so what are you talking about?
Everyone couldn't help but feel depressed.
Someone asked: "Who is commanding the Song army today? Fu Bi?"
Someone sneered: "Fu Bi is commanding a battle of this scale? I'm afraid he will be defeated directly."
For those who have never experienced a large-scale battle, facing a large-scale charge by the Liao army for the first time, it would be good if they could not be frightened. If they want to respond in time, it is impossible.
"It's Shen An."
"Yes, that beast."
"Emperor Song said he was a famous general..."
"He...indeed is."
"..."
The two armies were confronting each other. Someone from behind the Song army shouted: "The Duke of Shen County has ordered that the civilians come forward to clean up and clean up. Thirty percent of the property is yours."
"Thirty percent?"
The peasants looked at each other, then rushed out cheering.
They rummaged through the piles of corpses, skinning the Liao soldiers into naked pigs and piling up their armor and clothing. From time to time someone found some belongings and cheered.
When the corpses of Song soldiers were found, the atmosphere was solemn. The civilians carefully carried them out and placed them on the other side.
"Wan Sheng!"
Suddenly there was an eruption among the people. Someone was holding a long knife and hacking at the corpses. Finally, he was holding a head and shouted: "It's General Liao!"
The Liao general who was punched to death by Wang Que died with his eyes closed, and gray-white semi-solid material flowed out of his nostrils.
That's brain matter!
"The morale is like a rainbow!"
Shen An rode forward.
"Where are you going?" After Shen An left, Fu Bi had to take charge of the central army. But it was his first time to experience such a big scene, and he also wanted to walk around in front!
"I'm going to ask Yelu Hongji."
Shen An waved his hands and was surrounded by people in front of the formation.
"Call the formation!"
Shen An suddenly wanted to play a prank.
A sergeant with a loud voice rushed over on horseback and shouted a hundred paces away in front of the Liao army's formation: "The Duke of Song Dynasty Guixin County, Shen An, is here. Does the Liao Emperor dare to fight?"
Come on, Yelu Hongji, let's challenge each other.
Shen An felt that he had a 70% chance of winning. Of course, he was no match for bow and arrow, but...
He touched the small crossbow in his sleeve and couldn't help but grinned.
But Yelu Hongji just remained silent.
"Kill him!"
A general gritted his teeth and prepared to go out.
The sergeant shouted: "Mr. Shen said, will you have enough food and grass when you come from afar? If not, Song Dynasty can send some."
Someone sneered: "This is demagoguery."
But the Liao army did not have much food and grass. This is an indisputable fact.
"Kill him if he disturbs the morale of our army!"
Yelu Hongji waved his hand, and several cavalrymen rushed out.
The sergeant was so brave that he even shouted before leaving: "The army of the Song Dynasty is gathered here. There is no one around. There is a lot of feces and urine. I will give it to you to eat, hahahaha!"
He galloped away, and the Liao cavalry behind him chased him angrily, finally stopping at the center line.
It would be dangerous to go any further.
what to do?
Fight or withdraw?
Yelu Hongji regretted it. He felt that he should not have evacuated before. Maybe if he persisted for a while, the Song army would be defeated.
Indecisive people are like this and tend to overturn their previous decisions.
He looked at the Song army's formation carefully and asked, "How is the Song army doing?"
The generals under my command have already learned this lesson, "Your Majesty, the Song army has a tight formation. The key is the crossbows and those firearms... which prevent our army from speeding up the charge..."
This is annoying.
Yelu Hongji pondered for a long time and asked, "What if we fight again...?"
This question is about victory or defeat.
Do it again, can we succeed?
The generals looked at each other and exchanged various glances. The last veteran said: "Your Majesty, the Song Army has lost its courage in this battle. I think the Song Emperor will be timid..."
These words were used for Yelu Hongji to step down, and they also proved a point from the side.
——The Liao generals believed that there was little hope of victory in this battle.
Yelu Hongji sighed slightly, feeling sore in his chest and extremely uncomfortable.
He took a few hard breaths and said calmly: "This battle in Daliao is about punishment, and the Song army is already frightened... But it is spring now, and spring plowing is important... Countless farmers in Song and Liao are looking forward to peace. Let's go back !”
The army slowly withdrew, and the thousands of Liao cavalry behind them looked listless.
Yelu Hongji said that the Song army was already frightened. Is it possible?
"Grandson, come on! Come on! Let grandpa take care of you!"
The cavalry of the Song Army were slowly approaching, and they kept hearing obscene words.
Is this still the timid southern country?
Everyone knows that after this battle, it will no longer be the case.
The Emperor of Liao personally conquered, and all the elites were exhausted...
Even if this is not a war that overwhelms the country, it is still a rare war in recent years.
But what was the outcome of the war?
"The Song army is building a watch in Beijing."
Some people turned around and exclaimed, and Liao Qi turned around one after another.
Just on the right side of Tang County, the people are happily building a temple in Beijing.
"Who won?" a Liao Army sergeant asked blankly.
"Wan Sheng!"
Cheers came from the Song army, and it seemed that another corpse of a Liao general had been found.
We lost.
The Liao army left sadly, and the Song army's cavalry followed them until they saw the camp.
In the camp, Xiao Guanyin stood outside the tent to greet him.
Yelu Hongji came with a cold expression.
Xiao Guanyin raised his head and saw the expressions of those civil servants and generals with his beautiful eyes.
Either frustrated or angry.
Yelu Hongji didn't even look at her and entered the tent first, followed by civil and military officials.
"waste!"
"Extremely incompetent!"
"Why can't we break through the defense of the Song Army's infantry?"
"madness!"
The shouts and curses kept coming out, and Xiao Guanyin knew that Daliao was defeated in this battle.
"Did you lose?"
She turned around slowly and held the book in her sleeve tightly.
From now on, her situation will be more difficult.
This failure will continue to be thought of by Yelu Hongji. Every time he thinks of it, he will be driven crazy by the excitement, and then...
Then he will neglect me and the children.
But so what?
She thought of Daiyu.
Isn’t that girl who stands alone and proud in the world exactly the reflection of me?
In this way I will live proudly.
In the afternoon of that day, the Liao army retreated. When the Song army scouts found out, they spread the news back in disbelief.
"The Liao people have withdrawn."
The scouts were cheering as soon as they entered the city.
"Long live!"
The people couldn't help but be ecstatic, raising their arms and shouting.
This time, the Song Dynasty cleanly repelled the elite troops led by the Liao Emperor in the plains. What does this mean?
"We are on an equal footing with the Liao people, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net hahahaha!"
Countless people were cheering.
Everyone knows that from today on, the Liao people can no longer overlook the Song Dynasty.
The coins are gone, and the advantage of force is gone.
"What else do Liao people have?"
In the government office, Fu Bi said excitedly: "They no longer have the means to check and balance the Song Dynasty. From now on, the Song Dynasty will gradually shift from defense to offense..."
yes!
From today on, the Song Dynasty will no longer be timid towards the Liao people.
Afterwards, the Song Dynasty will covet the land of Youyan and seek the Northern Expedition.
Shen An put his hands on the table, looked at everyone with bright eyes, and said: "Everyone, what you are witnessing here is the end of a century-old history of humiliation. From today on, the Song Dynasty will look at the north... From today on, You must learn to hold your head high, because... no one can make us bow our heads, no one can make us bend down!"
