Chapter 166
In the spring of the second year of Huangyou, the land of Hebei was alternated with rain and snow, which seemed particularly cold. What made people even more cold was the relationship between the Song and Liao. After the Song Dynasty strongly rejected the extortion of the Liao Kingdom, the war between the two sides inevitably broke out.
The Liao general Yelu Renxian led 30,000 troops and rushed to Bazhou.
The Song army stationed in Bazhou, together with the city's men and women, had a total of more than 20,000 people. They patrolled the city day and night, guarded the city strictly, and killed the Liao Kingdom. They were inseparable from the problem.
At the same time, the Liao army bribed the defenders of Baigou Post, broke through Baigou Post, and massacred 1,55 soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. The Liao general Xiao Zhenxian was a member of Pingzhang, and the commander of the army attacked Xiongzhou.
In addition, the Liao Dynasty's crown prince Yelu Hongji and the crown prince Yelu Chongyuan commanded a large army of 50,000. As a backing, the entire Liao army took an inverted triangle form, and came overwhelmingly towards the Song Dynasty.
It can be said that from the beginning, the Song army was at a disadvantage. Although several major cities were not lost, many fortresses and villages were lost one after another, and more and more people were driven away and fled their homes. The entire line of defense seemed to be in danger, as if the Liao army could conquer it with more efforts...
"This is done on purpose by Xianggong Fan. If he didn't give the Liao Kingdom some sweetness, how could they boldly go south? In fact, I want to say that he should make more. It is best to give up Xiongzhou and Bazhou. If necessary, retreat to Daming Prefecture. As long as he can eat up the Liao people, it is worth it even if the losses are too much."
Wang Ning'an was discussing military affairs in his father's tent. There were only two fathers and sons. Wang Ning'an seemed unscrupulous and showed his cruel and ruthless side.
If we can really give up a large area of the city to the Liao Kingdom as Wang Ning'an thought, and also push the many refugees to the Liao Kingdom, then the Liao army will not be in charge, and whether it is not, the newly occupied city will become a huge burden for the Liao Kingdom. When they are unsustainable, they will fight back and fight back and win a great victory!
This method is not new. Zhao Guangyi failed in the two Northern Expeditions, and Empress Dowager Xiao dealt with him in this way.
However, the Liao Kingdom could abandon the people, abandon the land, and do whatever it takes to win. However, the Song Dynasty did not do it. The benevolent and righteous army was the foundation, and being able to give up Baigouyi and other places was considered to be the maximum concession. If Bazhou, Xiongzhou and other places lost a city, Fan Zhongyan would not care about dismissal, and Jia Changchao would not agree. What can be given up at present is their bottom line.
Wang Liangjing didn't think so much like his son. Hebei's elders were too miserable and could no longer use them as weapons to deal with the Liao Kingdom. In that case, wouldn't he even want the conscience of being a human being!
"So you are destined to be a famous general!"
Wang Ning'an said fiercely, of course, he was just talking. In fact, he didn't have the courage. At least he could not regard hundreds of thousands of creatures as nothing at the moment. Perhaps only those powerful and stubborn kings can do anything!
Wang Ning'an's realm is still far from that.
"Okay, it's already great to be able to do it now." Wang Liangjing got up and patted the back of his son's head.
"Dad should lead troops to kill the Liao bandits. Please take good care of your house!"
"Why?" Wang Ning'an was very dissatisfied. He worked hard to settle the two husbands and tied up the only few soldiers who could fight, just to show his skills on the battlefield. Why did he throw him into his home at a critical moment?
“This is not fair!”
Wang Ning'an shouted loudly, Wang Liangjing would not accommodate him this time.
"Ning'an, we were fighting hard last time. The Wang family had no cowards, so my father couldn't stop you. But this time we were competing for credit. My father couldn't let you take risks. Of course, it wasn't that you would never allow you to go to the battlefield. As long as you pass the kung fu and can protect yourself, my father would let you go."
Wang Ning'an felt something was wrong and said, "How can he pass the test?"
"It's very simple. I've hired a teacher for you!"
Wang Liangjing stepped to the door of the big tent, lifted the curtain, and a tall figure stood outside the door, holding a long sword, looking at Wang Ning'an with a smile.
It's Yang Xi!
Wang Ning'an recognized it at a glance. Why is this violent girl? Her kung fu is much better than her? Seeing her son being stupid, Wang Liangjing laughed, "If you can't even beat Miss Yang, you are not qualified to go to the battlefield!"
After saying that, he left. Wang Ning'an was really anxious and wanted to chase after him. Yang Xi smiled and stopped Wang Ning'an.
"Erlang, you have promised to publish your novel to our family. Why did you only send three copies and nothing else after that? If you can't take it out, I won't agree!"
Wang Ning'an grinned bitterly, "Good sister, novels are not that easy to write. Besides, I am so busy every day, so how can I have time? Otherwise, you can give up your hands and wait until you fight the Liaogang, and you will have time..."
Wang Ning'an said, suddenly his hand reached into his waist and grabbed the soft sword, wanting to make a surprise attack, but he underestimated Yang Xi. Since the last time he saw Wang Ning'an's sword drawing technique, Yang Xi has thought hard and had a way to deal with it. Seeing Wang Ning'an's shoulders slightly moving, her sword hilt swung over. Wang Ning'an just pulled out a handful and was beaten back. Yang Xi twisted his waist, flew up his long legs, and gave a beautiful side kick.
With his toes on the soft sword, Wang Ning'an flew back and fell back on the chair.
"Haha, Wang Erlang's ability is just about his mouth. It turns out to be a silver-like gun tip!"
Wang Ning'an was so angry that he was so embarrassed that he was so savage girl that he couldn't beat you anymore. When he got stubborn, Wang Ning'an really started fighting with Yang Xi. Of course, he was unilaterally abused. Even if he wanted to follow his father, he wouldn't have the strength.
...
Wang Liangjing rode on a horse and walked on the muddy road. In front of him was Di Qing.
"Report to the general, he found a Liao army forty miles away, plundering a large number of people. Please ask the general to decide."
Di Qing was silent for a moment, and looked back at Wang Liangjing and Yang Huaiyu.
Yang Huaiyu pressed the hilt of the knife, and although he didn't say anything, anyone could tell that he was eager to try.
"Wait a little longer." Unexpectedly, Wang Liangjing actually opposed the military force and immediately sent troops. "There is a lot of military tactics. Strike it in half. After the Liao soldiers are full of plunder, give them a fatal blow!"
Di Qing was silent for a while, suddenly nodded and smiled, "If you put it somewhere else, you will be impeached if you do this without regard to the lives and death of the people!"
After saying that, Di Qing poked the horse spear hard on the ground, jumped off the war horse, and without saying a word, he took out the jerky meat and started to chew it.
The same is true for others, dismounting and filling their stomachs. Some people simply lean on the horses and sleeping loudly.
The sky gradually dimmed. Just as the sun set, Di Qing's narrowed eyes suddenly opened and became full of energy.
"Get on the horse!"
Everyone immediately entered the state of fighting. Di Qing led more than a thousand Wang family troops into three groups, like a fan, and rushed towards the Liao soldiers.
When they arrived, the Liao soldiers were still drinking and enjoying themselves, and they didn't know that death was coming.
If Wang Ning'an was there, he would definitely be shocked. On the battlefield, Di Qing looked completely different, all of which were gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, humble and polite.
He was wearing a bronze mask, like a ghost in hell, and the horse spear in his hand was elusive, chopping, slashing, picking, and stabbing. All kinds of moves were like flowing water, as beautiful as a dance. However, there were more and more corpses under his feet, and Wang Liangjing was stunned. His kung fu was quite hard, but he was still inferior to the real famous general of a hundred battles.
Wang Liangjing roared repeatedly. While killing the enemy wildly, he learned Di Qing's moves and constantly realized in his heart how to kill the enemy in the army of ten thousand horses!
He rushed all the way, and the bodies were all the way. The Liao soldiers were beaten to pieces by them and were defeated. At this time, Yang Huaiyu also rushed up. He was responsible for rescuing the looted people of the Song Dynasty, killing the Liao soldiers under his care, returning to the front, and joining the battle group.
For a while, Yang Huaiyu has been learning martial arts with his grandmother Mu Guiying. He has put a lot of effort into it. He can't even beat a girl, so he has the face to support his family.
Yang Huaiyu's kung fu progress was extremely rapid and could be regarded as his superiority. Under the attack of three powerful generals, less than a thousand Liao soldiers were completely wiped out.
Di Qing's violent turmoil became more and more obvious. He left only one hundred people, escorting the people to take refuge, and then ran towards another Liao army without stopping.
One night, they killed three looted Liao soldiers. These three troops were all subordinates of Yelu Renxian, who was Yelu Chongyuan's confidant and beloved general.
Obviously, Wang Ning'an's strategy of only fighting Chongyuan and not wearing skin rooms has been implemented.
After three consecutive victories, Di Qing pointed his finger at Yelu Renxian outside Bazhou City.
Taking advantage of the night, Di Qing led the cavalry and rushed to the Liao army camp. After a brief chaos, the Liao army immediately counterattacked, with a total of 5,000 troops following Di Qing to fight.
This time, Wang Liangjing served as the rear guard. He lined up fifty crossbows in a row and quickly launched a fire on the Liao soldiers.
The arrow, more than three feet long, was actually a sharp crescent-shaped head. Under the action of huge elastic force, the arrow was like a quick knife to cut tofu, cutting the body of the Liao soldiers, blood splashing and internal organs flowing out. Even war horses were no exception.
After one round of shooting, Wang Liangjing did not stop and immediately fled. The improved crossbow was pulled by four horses, not slower than the cavalry at all, and he could even load arrows while running.
When the Liao soldiers catch up, give them a good look.
Wang Liangjing was like a piece of braised candy, pressing against the Liao soldiers tightly. He didn't run fast. He could catch up with him as long as he tried hard, but if he caught up, he would be bitten hard!
They lost hundreds of people, but they didn't even touch the Mao of the Wang family army.
The Liao soldiers were completely angry. They vowed to kill this group of damn Song troops from heaven to earth. They pursued them wildly without knowing it. Before they knew it, they were actually more than thirty miles away from Bazhou.
...
"Hahaha, Di Hanchen and Wang Liangjing really have a way. The big fish is caught!" Zhe Jimin grabbed the beard and laughed loudly.
Zhong Gu swung his fist, "They can beat us, we are not a big deal. Let them see what we are capable of!"
"Okay, you and I will attack left and right, and we must kill this group of Liao soldiers!"
I don’t know if it was the luck or misfortune of this group of Liao soldiers, but they were surrounded by the three main forces of the Song army. In less than half a day, 5,000 soldiers were killed completely...
