Yang Lin was in Baihua Valley, drinking fine wine and guarding the beauty, very casual. However, the troops fighting on the west and north routes would be much more painful.&1t;/p>

Yelu Dashi is the new generation of famous generals in the Northern Liao Dynasty. Both Wuyanguang brothers were famous generals. Liao was born on the grassland and was proficient in cavalry. Although the Yelu royal family has become corrupt and degenerate, the combat effectiveness of the army has been greatly reduced in recent years. However, the lean camel is larger than that of horses. During the reign of Emperor Taizu of Song and Emperor Taizong, the Song army was also considered a battle army of hundreds of battles. Gao, Cao, Li, Shi, Yang and other famous generals and commanders were countless, but they were unable to regain the land of Yanyun. It was normal for Zhao Ji to take advantage of the civil turmoil in the Northern Liao Dynasty to find an opportunity to attack. However, he overestimated the success of the operation. Although the Song border army was slightly stronger than the imperial guards, it had been safe for a hundred years. The soldiers from all over the country and the village soldiers were even on time. Although Zhong Shizhong, Yao Yi, Hu Yanqing, Yang Zhen and others were skilled in combat formations, the soldiers were weak and lacked in combat power.&1t;/p>

After the vanguard Yao Xiong seized Fan Yang, before he could stabilize the entire Zhuozhou territory, Wu Yanguang's command had already reached the north bank of Zhuo River. Liu Guangshi was also a general of aristocratic family. His security army came out of Guangxin to serve as the left wing of Zhuozhou. After capturing Yi County, Zhong Shizhong ordered him to occupy the Juma River and build a defense on the south bank. Then he crossed the Juma River and headed towards Fangshan to approach Yao Xiong's troops. However, Liu Yanqing received the news of most of the Liao Kingdom going south early, and did not dare to go north. He only set up a few simple camps to make outposts in the Juma River. The large army was stationed in Yi County and cleared the route to return to the south. The purpose was self-evident.&1t;/p>

In the six battles of Huyanqing, all the water battles were excellent, especially the water battles. The north of Xiaonan River was the Lushui River, and the Sanggan River communicated with it. Yongding River and Baihe waters intersected, which was a good place for Huyanqing to play a role. Yao Yi was the marshal of the right. His order to Huyanqing was to go down to Wuqing, Shangxiang River, and Baodi to build camps to block reinforcements from the North Liaodong Road. The rest depends on the two armies meeting together, to capture Wanping, and to analyze the land of Jin.&1t;/p>

Yang Zhen, Yao Gu Chuxiong and dominate the two provinces, followed Yao Xiong to support him. After Qu Li came out of Qing to the north bank of Zhuo River, he did not immediately cross the river to fight Yao Xiong.&1t;/p>

Three days later, Yelu Dashi's commander's flag appeared on the north bank of Zhuo River, and Yao Yi led a large army to the south bank of Zhuo River.&1t;/p>

Zhuo River here is less than fifty meters wide and the water is gentle. It is the ideal place for the Liao army to cross the river. However, the south bank is an open land, which is not conducive to the defense of the Song army. Zhong Shizhong discussed with Yao Yi repeatedly and decided to lead the attack with defense. Yelu Dashi knew that the Han army was scarce and the horses were insufficient, and head-on decisive battles were almost all formed to fight the enemy. The Han army's military formation was tightly defended, and there was a needle hidden in the cotton. In addition, there was a genital, it was definitely not so easy to break the command of a veteran like Yao, who had been on the battlefield for a long time. However, the purpose of leading the army south was to quickly defeat the Song army, and then to go north to solve Wanyan Aguda. Time was beneficial to the Song people, but the terrain was beneficial to the Liao army. Yelu Dashi smiled. Is he afraid of the Han people?&1t;/p>

After hesitating for a while, Yelu Dashi made a decision in his heart, and then ordered someone to shout to Nan'an: "Who is the leader on the opposite side? Come and talk."&1t;/p>

Master Zhongzun Yao Shi is older, mainly based on him. Yao Shi is already 66 years old. As a veteran on the battlefield, how could he be scared by the young Yelu Dashi? Yao Shi was wearing a big-leaf chain mail and held up a treasure knife. Looking at the general under the Northern Liao Commander, the general with the bright golden armor, it seems to be Yelu Dashi.&1t;/p>

Yao Yi pulled his horse forward a few steps, getting closer, and shouted in a loud voice with his sword across the street: "Is it Yao Yi of the Great Song Dynasty, who is Yelu Dashi?"&1t;/p>

"I am Yelu Dashi, Old General Yao. You said you are old and don't live a leisurely life at home. With an old bone, aren't you afraid that you can't go home to see your grandson?" The Song and Liao dynasties have been peaceful for more than a hundred years, and most of the Liao people know Chinese. However, the Song Dynasty passed down from Han Confucianism and disdained the foreign languages. Therefore, there are very few people who can speak fluent Khitan dialect in the Song Dynasty.&1t;/p>

"Yao also wants to be able to enjoy family life at home, but you, the Khitans, have been living in Youyun for so many years and have not paid it back. We have no choice but to raise troops to collect debts."&1t;/p>

"Hmph, old man, you call you a general, and you really take yourself seriously. Today you are in the north, so don't want to go back alive." After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, a sharp arrow beside him shot directly at Yao Yi. Yao Yi was prepared for a long time. He waved his knife to push away the arrow, and was about to scold Yelu Dashi for being despicable, but two more arrows shot, one hit the left chest and the other hit the right abdomen. The middle general of the Zhongshi Shizhong saw that Yao Yi was assassinated by the pearl arrows, and hurriedly shouted for defense. Yang Zhen rushed forward, hugged Yao Yi, turned around and left, and Yelu Dashi rushed to build a floating bridge to cross.&1t;/p>

The archery general next to Yelu Dashi was Yelu Yuanzan. After Yelu Yuanzan fled back to Northern Liao, he should have been punished for serious crimes, but Yelu Chun considered that Yelu Yuanzan was also a descendant of the royal family and he was also good at it. Yelu Chun was reluctant to kill him, so he sent him to Yelu Dashi for his crime and made meritorious service.&1t;/p>

Yelu Yuanzan's arrow was highly toxic, causing Yao Yi to fall into a coma on the spot. The army was called Zhong Shizhong. Just after the order was sent to defend, the front of Yelu Dashi had already climbed to the south bank of Zhuo River.&1t;/p>

The Northern Liao vanguard Qiong Yao Nayan, and Qu Li came out of Qing extremely brave. The two of them each brought thousands of cavalry to the south bank and separated left and rushed along the road. The Song army fired volleys of bows and crossbows, and the front of the Liao people suffered great losses, but they did not retreat until they completely deviated to both sides of the army. There were a small number of cavalry on both sides of the Song army, one Yao Xiong and the other Xue Qiu.&1t;/p>

On one side of Yao Xiong was where the Qiong Yao Nayan flag was. Before Qiong Yao Nayan could reorganize the team, he rushed to attack fiercely. Yao Xiong was brave and the most capable person among the younger generation of the Yao family. The Liao people plotted against his father, and he had been as angry as thunder. The Liao general was so arrogant that he completely ignored the Song cavalry. How could Yao Xiong bear it?&1t;/p>

When Qiong Yao Nayan saw Yao Xiong attacking, he turned around and shouted a few words to his troops. Yao Xiong didn't understand Khitan words and didn't know what it meant. He saw the Liao soldiers rushing over with their weapons and shouting. Yao Xiong didn't care about that much and just shouted: "Shameless Liao Dog, come here."&1t;/p>

The two cavalry collided like a torrent, and then crossed and stirred up into a ball, each swinging and slashing, fighting endlessly. Yao Xiong's big sword flew up and down, and the Liao soldiers could not stop it. Qiong Yao Nayan saw Yao Xiong's bravery and held the serrated sword to fight Yao Xiong directly. The two attacked for twenty or thirty rounds, and it was difficult to decide the outcome. The battlefield was chaotic, and both of them turned back and entered the formation.&1t;/p>

Although the Song army's crossbows were powerful, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers who crossed the river Yelu Dashi, the dozens of floating bridges built by the Liao army still allowed more troops to cross the Zhuo River quickly. Quli came out of the Qing Dynasty and rushed to the front, Xue Qiu was the three yamen halls. The two of them launched a horse and attacked fiercely. After not ten rounds, Xue Qiu was defeated and was killed.&1t;/p>

Qu Li left the Qing Dynasty and continued to move forward, fighting with Yao Gu's troops. Wu Yanhuang fought with Yang Zhen's troops. Wu Yan Guang led the heavy armored army to directly take the central army in the Zong army. Yelu Yuanzan also took the excellent "sniper cavalry" to kill the generals and envoys of the Song army at will.&1t;/p>

The Zhong Shizhong frequently issued orders to boost morale and command properly. At the critical moment, Hu Yanzhuo, who was hidden in the central army, was dispatched. He was the only heavy-armed iron cavalry in the Song Dynasty with a uniform armor. Their war horses were all connected by iron chains, and there were many sharp spikes on the chains, which were extremely lethal. They advanced uniformly, attacked together, and turned together, known as the chain of chains.&1t;/p>

Wuyan Guang rushed fiercely, and before he could react, he collided with Hu Yanzhuo's team. The cavalry in front of Wuyan Guang suffered heavy losses, but the cavalry in the Liao Kingdom was brave and good at fighting, and the cavalry behind him continued to rise.&1t;/p>

The battle lasted three or four hours from morning to evening. The two sides invested more than 200,000 troops, and the radius of more than ten miles was a battlefield. The scene was tragic. Although the Song soldiers fought hard and did not retreat, their physical disadvantages were already prominent. The chain of vests were heavy and could not last long. The horses had long been exhausted and slumped on the ground. Hu Yanzhuo and his soldiers also changed to infantry battles.&1t;/p>

Both sides fought bravely today. In the end, all the troops and units, together with powerful generals like Yang Zhen, Yao Xiong, and Hu Yanzhuo, were exhausted and had many traumas, so they could not stand fighting again.&1t;/p>

The situation of the Liao soldiers was similar, but their troops were more powerful than the Song soldiers and they had the advantage of continuous combat. However, Yelu Dashi did not allow them to continue the attack. When Yelu Chun went south, he repeatedly warned to protect his troops as much as possible. Therefore, the two sides agreed to temporarily stop the battle and return to the camp to rest.&1t;/p>

Yelu Dashi was not a foolish person. After he went south, he divided 200,000 troops into three groups, one by Yelu Zhangnu, led by him to attack Liu Yanqing, and the other by He Chongbao, he went to take Hu Yanqing, and he led the central army to attack Zhuozhou.&1t;/p>

Hu Yanqing was guarding the Sanggan River and the Lushui line. The Song people's warships were a hundred times stronger than the northern people. He Chongbao could not defeat him, but Hu Yanqing's tribe lacked war horses and could not repel the other side. However, the Yelu Zhangnu's tribe was different. Liu Yanqing did not dare to go north at first. When he heard that Yelu Zhangnu led a large army to cross the Juma River, he immediately abandoned Yi County and fled to the Guangxin Great Wall Pass.&1t;/p>

Yelu Zhangnu recaptured Yizhou without any effort. Then Yelu Zhangnu personally led 5,000 cavalry to guard the Great Wall Pass, and ordered Alic, who was also guilty and meritorious, to lead the remaining army to take Xincheng County and Guiyi counties. Just when the large army of the Zhongshizhong fought fiercely with Yelu Dashi, Alic had already taken several counties to the south and cut off the Song army's retreat to the south.&1t;/p>

When the news reached the big tent of Zhong Shizhong, the generals in the tent were scared and sweated. After discussing, the generals unanimously decided to quietly withdraw from the battlefield that night, return to Fanyang first, and then reopen the road to Nangui again.&1t;/p>

Finally, it was decided to use Yao Gu's troops to take the lead in evacuating Yao Yi, who was unconscious. Yang Zhen and Yao Xiong were left as the rear army to prevent the Liao people from chasing him.&1t;/p>

At the third update, the Song army abandoned the baggage, did not set up a torch, and quietly retreated from the camp. Yelu Dashi was waiting for this moment. Quli went out of the Qing Dynasty to serve as the left wing, Qiong Yao Nayan to serve as the right wing, and Wuyan Guang personally led the central army. When most of the Song army left the camp and entered Yelu Yuanzan's ambush, the other three armies immediately dispatched. For a moment, the killing sounds rose, and the Song army felt that there were enemies everywhere, and the troops were panicked, and they ran around in the dark. The Liao army covered the killing, and the Song army was defeated, with countless casualties.&1t;/p>

Zhong Shizhong tried his best to shout and gathered the scattered soldiers. He fled back to Fanyang until dawn. When counting the personnel, the soldiers brought back were less than 20% of the soldiers who went to fight, and even fewer could continue to fight. The seriously injured Yao Yi was captured on the spot by Yelu Yuanzan. Yao Xiong and Qu Li went to the Qing Dynasty to fight, and were seriously injured and disappeared. Yang Zhen was entangled by Wu Yanhuang, and occupied the last person, and died exhausted.&1t;/p>

Yelu Dashi besieged Fanyang City, and Zhong Shizhong went to the top of the city to command. The soldiers' morale was slightly boosted, and the Liao people could not stop. Yelu Dashi ordered Wuyan Guang to lead more than 10,000 cavalry to advance eastward, trying to cut off Hu Yanqing's retreat route. Hu Yanqing found the news and retreated to Shuanggangzhai first and took a boat to go through the water route.&1t;/p>
