#22823;Wang Yelu Xizhen was one of the few heroes among the Khitans. He was recommended by Xiao Siwen, the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court, and was highly valued. He ordered the troops in the southwest to control the army. He was an important figure who supported the Queen Xiao Chuo. He originally stationed troops in Deshengkou to confront the Song army. As long as the Song army did not come to attack, he strictly prohibited his subordinates from provoking the Song army. The Song army gradually despised him and only monitored him with partial troops. He led 30,000 imperial troops to station in the north of Youzhou to monitor Gubeikou. The one who seized the victory was Ma Renyu, the Mizhou defense envoy.

Zhao Jing strictly ordered all troops to guard the camps and not let Liao troops enter Youzhou to aid. Ma Renyu followed the imperial edict and strictly guarded the city buildings that blocked the Liao army from entering Youzhou. The military report from the Gaoliang River came, and the Zhenwu Army Captain Luo Rui offered a plan: "The imperial camp fought with the Liao army all day long and did not decide the victory. At this moment, it was a critical plan. Why didn't Ma lead our troops to attack the Liao army's side and set the victory in one fell swoop." Ma Renyu was also a long-time general who entered the Song Dynasty from Zhou to the Song Dynasty. His face darkened and said: "The official family clearly ordered our troops to block the Liao army's peripheral troops from entering Youzhou to aid Youzhou. How could he abandon the camps and act without authorization?" Luo Ruishen scolded him.

Yelu Xizhen only sent some of the Southern Court troops to the front of the Song army camp to bluff, and he led 10,000 cavalry to the battlefield where Yelu Sha and Emperor Song fought. At this time, Zhao Jiong had sent all the vanguard formation, the vanguard formation, and the cavalry in the left and right cavalry formations to fight. More than 30,000 Crane Control Army and Hujie Army in the central army formation were also entangled with the Liao cavalry of Yelu Sha's troops.

Seeing that Zhao Jiong's central army happened to be in front of him, the crossbow formation that the Khitan soldiers were deeply afraid of was constantly tilting towards the north, and there were only a thin array of swords and shields on the flanks, facing outside the formation, Yelu Xizhen was overjoyed, pulled out the iron knife from his waist, and shouted loudly: "The Emperor Song went to the net, raising the power of the Great Liao Kingdom, and killing one of them, today!" The army in the South Court did not suffer any loss in fighting with the imperial guards for several days, and was held in the camp by Yelu Xizhen's strict order. At this moment, the morale was greatly boosted, and they abandoned the torches, rode their horses and bent their bows and arrows. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were like storms, heading east to west, heading straight to the brightly lit yellow Luo umbrella cover of Zhao Jiong's imperial camp.

After Yelu Xiuge's troops raised fire and made a bluff, Cui Han, the head of the palace, hurriedly dispatched twenty commanders and commanders from the front to strengthen the formation behind the palace from the front. Unexpectedly, the Liao cavalry was on the left and suddenly on the right, and rushed out from the east flank. At this time, the crossbowmen in the front formation had become thin, and Cui Han had to transfer twenty commanders from the back to strengthen the crossbowmen from the back to the flank to guard the guard. The soldiers of the imperial guards were exhausted. After the formation, they had just fired two or three arrows, and the Liao cavalry vanguard shouted and collided with the sword, shield, spearmen in the east.

"His grandma," Liu Yanrang looked at the Liao soldiers and attacked the imperial camp in anger. "When did the Khitan dogs learn to make fraud?" Shi Shouxin looked coldly at the faces of his subordinates who were quite eager to test the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The official will, our army should strictly guard the formation, and not let the Liao army in front of him rush straight to the imperial camp. Those who dare to act rashly!" There was a hint of coldness in his words. Chen De looked at Shi Shouxin thoughtfully, and looked at the north side of the formation. Liao and Song soldiers and horses were circling and attacking the main battlefield. Tens of thousands of elite infantry cavalry of the Song army cooperated, and the Khitans were beaten backwards. At this moment, it was impossible to have any spare energy to attack the imperial camp.

In the southeast of Youzhou, Cao Han had stopped siege. He stood on the high platform of the camp and looked at the fireworks in the cannon of Gaoliang River to the west. The shouts of killing were more intense than the other. "General Cao, do you want to support Your Majesty's Imperial Camp?" Cao Han hesitated for a long time, looked up at the tall city walls of Youzhou, and looked at the dark mountains in the northwest, and shook his head and said, "The official family strictly ordered all troops to guard the camps tightly, and should not allow Liao soldiers to enter Youzhou to aid you." He paused and said in a deep voice: "The entire army was ordered to wear armor to be reorganized. Once there was an order from the official family, go to the aid immediately."

At this moment, under the Huangluo umbrella of the Imperial Camp, Zhao Jiong looked at the battle between the infantrymen of the Crane Army in the east and the Liao army in the South Court with trembling fear. It was the first time for him to watch the battle at such a close distance since the Northern Expedition. It has to be said that the scene of flesh and blood flying was quite shocking. The Liao people rarely rode their horses to rush straight to the Song army's formation regardless of life and death. Five or six hundred cavalry were in a group, but the momentum seemed to be thousands of cavalry. The sound of shouting, horse hooves, and armor clanging sounds were hundreds of times more exciting than when they were reviewed. Every time they attacked, the sound of killing sounds shook the sky. Before they could kill, there was a rain of arrows. Many soldiers of the Crane Army in the formation screamed and fell to the ground before they saw the enemy. Only a few

After a moment, it was like a storm of the shore. The deer antlers set up by the Crane Army on the east side had been flattened. The Khitan cavalry drove the horses straight into the Song army's swords and guns. As a result, both sides of the battle had no intention of saving themselves. They all seized every opportunity to make the other party bleed more and demanded the greatest compensation for their lives. Many Crane Army soldiers, even the Liao people who stabbed them to death, screamed and fell to the ground without telling the difference between them and the Khitan iron hooves and their own people. Gradually, seeing the defense line on the east side became thinner and thinner, Zhao Jiong's face began to turn a little white, and his lips were also a little blue. He regretted the first time he had decided to command the imperial commander in person.

"Cui Qing, the enemy forces on the flank are powerful, quickly dispatch troops to enrich the past!" Zhao Jing finally couldn't bear the fear of death and issued an order to Cui Han who was commanding the battlefield. "Your Majesty," Cui Han was a little embarrassed. The troops of the imperial camp were already very weak. "There are still Khitan troops behind him to spy on him." "If it is empty, it is real, it is empty. If it is impossible, it is impossible. If it is impossible, it is impossible. If it is able to show it. If it is able to show it, it is impossible. If it is fought for a long time, can't Cui Qing see that it is a Liao people who set up a suspicion array?" Zhao Jing could no longer suppress his feelings.

Xu was furious and said in his heart, "What a mediocre general!" But looking at Zhao Jiong's gloomy eyes, Cui Han did not dare to insist, and turned around and ordered: "Another five thousand Crane Control Army were transferred from the back of the palace to strengthen it to the east side. We must not let the enemy cavalry clash in!" Seeing that as the flag officer sent the order, the ten command Crane Control Army hurried from the back of the palace to the east side. The eastern wing, which was originally shaking under the impact of the Khitan Army in the South Court, finally stabilized again, Zhao Jiong calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Yelu Xiu Ge saw that the Great Song Imperial Camp drew troops from the back of the hall, he took a deep breath. The cool night air could not calm down his boiling blood. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist and shouted loudly: "The whole army attacked, and the emperor of Song is the first achievement!" Before the guards around him reacted, they rushed forward with the reins of the horse. The horse started running with their hooves. Yelu Xiu Ge felt that the speed was not fast, so he pulled it hard, which stimulated the horse's power to the extreme. The bushes and rocks on both sides, and the guards beside him seemed to be missing. He pointed his blade forward, and there was only the front in his eyes. Under the brightly lit earth-yellow umbrella of the Song army, there was the head of the Song Emperor he wanted!

The five thousand most elite underground cavalry troops were waiting here like hungry wolves. They were waiting for this opportunity. They shouted excitedly. Some threw the torches, some still stuck to the torches, some took bows and arrows, and some kept waving scimitars. All the commanders knew that this was an opportunity for tens of thousands of Khitan troops to fight to the death all day long. They didn't care about rectifying their subordinates and followed Yelu Xiuge. Behind the commanders, more palace cavalry troops desperately urged to beat the horses and tried their best to catch up. The five thousand iron cavalry poured down like the most surging mountain torrent.

Yelu Xiu Ge leaned tightly on the horse, feeling his thigh hit, but there was no pain. He didn't even look at the injuries, and he couldn't control the urge to the horse until the terrified and pale face of the Song army in the palace was clearly visible. He could even hear their thumping heartbeat. "Kill!" At the last moment, he gently tilted the horse's head, avoided a long spear, rode in between the two Song soldiers, swung under the scimitar, and rolled a head.

Behind Yelu Xiuge, the Khitan cavalry were all directly under the formation behind the Song army. The elite soldiers of the palace were riding strong horses and were wearing iron armor. Although the Crane Army behind the palace was strong and they tried to resist it unexpectedly, they suffered a great loss. Many Khitan cavalry, led by the commander of the army, tried to bypass the formation behind the palace and attack Zhao Jing's central army directly. Even if they could not enter, they kept firing arrows at the conspicuous Huangluo umbrella cover.

"Kill Zhao Jiong!" "Kill Zhao Jiong!" The Khitan soldiers who came to the formation rushed to shoot arrows and shouted loudly in Chinese. Zhao Jiong's face was as if they were fighting hard, as if they were torn and broken by the impact of the mountain torrents and waves. Because the strength of the palace behind the palace became thinner and thinner, they were getting closer and closer to the main formation of the central army. At this moment, Yelu Xiuge used the elite troops to attack the rear formation of the palace that was no more than a hundred steps away. The tragic situation was even worse than before, and the shouts of the Khitan soldiers were particularly clear to Zhao Jiong's ears.

"Cui Qing, quickly dispatch the central army to support the rear camp!" He ordered loudly. Before he finished speaking, a cold arrow hit. Before Zhao Jing could react, the guards beside him were thrusting into the thigh of the Zhongguan family. "Ah!" Zhao Jing was more shocked than saying it was painful. From childhood to adulthood, although he heard and witnessed the elder brother being injured in battle, he had indeed suffered minor injuries and had never suffered any injuries. The cold arrow of the Khitans scared him so much that he sweated coldly.

A heart-wrenching pain came immediately. Seeing the blood flowing continuously, Zhao Jiong's face was like gold paper, and he pointed at the arrow and couldn't speak. He could only see the storm of Liao soldiers waving spears and scimitars. The fire was flying into the sky, and the cold arrows flew around him. The screams of the soldiers of the Song army and the Liao soldiers "Kill Zhao Jiong!" "Kill Zhao Jiong!" "Kill Zhao Jiong!" Even Cui Han around him kept asking him for orders, but the imperial doctor did not notice the injury.

"General Cui, the situation is urgent. You can quickly escort Your Majesty from this dangerous place. My generals of the Central Army will still stick to this place to attract the Liao army to attack!" Looking at Cui Han who was helpless, the governor of the Guide Army, who had not spoken, Gao Huaide, the chief magistrate of the Guide Army, who was also the chief magistrate of the prosecutor, said. He looked north, and Shi Shouxin and other generals were always rushing to watch the battle. Gao Huaide has been a general in the imperial guards since Zhou Shi, and he knows the thoughts of the generals. In this crisis, Shi Shouxin and other generals who can control the army to turn the tide stood by and watched without asking, but they knew that they were deliberately trapping Your Majesty and the dangerous place.

So they were killed by the Liao people, so they took the opportunity to support Zhao Dezhao and give Zhao Kuangyin a justice. The generals who rose up in the imperial guards such as Pan Mei and Cao Han did not have the courage to stand up. Gao Huaide married the sister of the Zhao brothers, the eldest princess of Yan State, and his son Gao Qiong served as the commander of the imperial dragon in Zhao Jing's palace. His wealth and life were firmly tied to the royal family. Naturally, he did not want Shi Shouxin and other brothers of Zhao Kuangyin to support another emperor. For the sake of the present, as long as the official family is protected, the more than 200,000 troops will be abandoned on the banks of the Gaoliang River under Youzhou City.
