The Han army that was pursuing was still the Yongqing army, but it added some Hebei Township Warriors and Yandi heroes, and their combat effectiveness did not decline. After all, the backbone was still there, and after a series of battles since going north, the original training was completely transformed into combat power. This is how the iron-blooded powerhouses and warriors were fought.

Wearing a thick armor, his whole body was covered with armor pieces, and under the phoenix wings, Ma Quanyi's expression was very cold, and his eyes were filled with a sensation of earth. In his pupils, the scene of Han soldiers attacking the Liao army was reflected. The fierce sound of killing and the splashed blood formed a tragic and cruel picture, but it could not move Ma Quanyi at all.

Among the Han army's assault team, as arrows were nearly 170 heavily armed infantrymen wrapped in armor. All of them were selected from elite troops and had outstanding qualities. They waved their swords and were just a harvesting machine. Every time they waved, they were able to win.

The Liao army often only produces some sparks when they kill them. Without effective means of restraining the Han army's heavy armor, the Liao army could not resist at all. The subsequent Han soldiers continued to have strong offensive capabilities with heavy armor, attacking and fighting calmly.

In recent years, the Han Dynasty has invested a lot of effort in military equipment technology, and the training of the Heavy Armor Infantry Army has cost a lot of money. So far, there are only about 3,000 people in the entire Han army.

These heavy armors can defend the heavy cavalry of the Liao army head-on. After so many years of fighting in the south, they have never been invested in it, just to deal with the Liao army. The Yongqing Army allocated 200 people, which shows Liu Chengyou's trust in Ma Quanyi.

Outside the infantry battlefield, the cavalry of the two armies were also fighting. Under the cover of more than 1,500 Liao cavalry, Gao Mohan had the confidence to fight and retreat. The Liao cavalry wanted to attack the flanks of the Han army several times, but they were entangled by Ma Quanyi's army.

The Liao cavalry under Gao Mohan was mainly based on the Xi people and their combat effectiveness was not strong, mainly because of their weak fighting will. Ten years ago, they followed the Khitans to plunder the Central Plains, robbed and killed people, and ate meat and drank soup. They were full of energy and could burst out with good combat power. But now they were recruited to fight bloody battles with the Han army, and they were not so happy.

Under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, the ethnic composition was complex, and the condensation of people's hearts was a major issue. For a long time, the only ones in the Liao Kingdom's army were able to maintain strong combat effectiveness were the Piss army in the Suwei Temple and the tribal army of the Khitan tribes.

To this day, the combat effectiveness of the Han puppet troops was stronger than that of the miscellaneous soldiers. However, the main component of Gao Mohan's resistance to the Han army was the Han people. As for the infantry and cavalry in Bohai, he consciously ordered it to withdraw back to Luanzhou.

Of course, there were still a thousand Bohai soldiers who were left by him, which was also the reason why he could withstand the Han army's attack. The Yongqing army attacked all the way, while the Liao army gradually retreated, passing by, bleeding and drifting on the ground, corpses stumped.

In the military formation, Ma Quanyi observed the progress of the fight, but his expression gradually became serious. Although he looked at the battlefield situation, the Han army was suppressing the Liao army, but he did not make a decisive breakthrough. First, the troops were at a disadvantage in the end. Although the heavy armor attack was sharp, after a long battle, it was already weak.

On the Liao army, Gao Mohan, a veteran, set an example, led the Bohai Army to fight to the death, and was still accustomed to that rhythm in the fierce battle with the Han army. The rabbit would bite people when it was anxious, let alone others?

Moreover, as he gradually approached Shicheng County, his morale also responded. Gao Mohan kept motivating his soldiers. Even after retreating to the county, the Han army had no choice but to do anything to them, which was something that Ma Quanyi could not accept.

When fighting cold weapons, the vision is limited and it is very narrow, but through the guns, sword formations and the shadows, Ma Quanyi can still see it. Amid the arrows, the old but tall figure, neighing, cheering, waving his head and waving the flag, and commanding as if he is determined. There are no shortage of old generals among the Liao army.

Since heading north, he has fought with the enemy troops in Liaodong several times. They gave Ma Quanyi the impression that bravery is brave, but the military discipline is not clean enough and the fighting will is not strong. But at this time, facing the resilience shown by the Liao army led by Gao Mohan, Ma Quanyi was very moved.

However, he felt that he could not completely defeat them. Seeing the approaching Shicheng County, Ma Quanyi finally decided to change the tactics and issued several military orders in succession: "Transfer the order, the heavy armor will withdraw to the Central Camp for rest. The entire army gradually broke off contact with the Liao army, reorganized the army, took the opportunity to rest, and advanced to the enemy!"

"General, if they are allowed to retreat into the city, all their efforts will be wasted!" A battalion general following him said to Ma Quanyi.

"They have to retreat before talking!" Hearing this, Ma Quanyi said directly: "After fighting for so long, the ambition of this Liao army has been exerted. The reason why they resist firmly is that we have too much oppressed, and the other is that the city walls are behind them. If we collect it for the time being, their morale will be discharged. When they fight to enter the city, I don't believe that they can still maintain such resistance!"

As he said that, Ma Quanyi looked at the cavalry showdown on the other side. The two sides fought together, and the human and horses were exhausted. Seeing this, Ma Quanyi couldn't help but angrily: "Send someone to ask General Li about the situation, urge him to speed up, and cooperate with us to annihilate this Liao army!"

"yes!"

Just as Gao Mohan was concerned, after the Yongqing Army, there were thousands of infantry and cavalry led by the Xin'an Army envoy Li Hanqiong. Although the main energy of the Han army was still in the main force of the Liao army in the west and north, there was no intention of leaving Gao Mohan's Liao army easily.

Yongqing and Xin'an armies have different starting locations and pursuit time, which has caused a situation in the first and second. However, this can also ensure mutual support and avoid risks.

The Han army acted upon hearing the order, relaxed its offensive, and gradually escaped from the confrontation. The Liao army reduced its pressure greatly. Although it was unknown what it meant, Lai Gao Mohan's military quality was indeed good. He immediately seized the time to adjust and led his people to retreat to Shicheng County at a faster speed.

After approaching the county town, as Ma Quanyi expected, the morale of the Liao army really relaxed. Seeing the soldiers who kept looking back and looking at the city wall, Gao Mohan also discovered this problem.

Looking up, the Han army had already set up its formation again, with the momentum of launching an attack at any time. Seeing this, Gao Mohan secretly scolded the Han general for being cunning. He did not dare to take people directly to the city, as it would be easy to give the Han army a chance, but chose to line up the city and continue to fight against the Han army.

However, in front of Shicheng County, a morale attack happened. The city gate was closed, without any intention of acceptance. Soon, several Liao flags on the Tucheng fell down, and a Han flag was raised again, which was obviously made temporarily, with white cloth as the base, and the word "Han" was simply written.

Afterwards, more than 30 Khitan heads were thrown down, and a great man shouted on the city: "Luanzhou Wang Lin is here, he has killed the Hu people and welcomed the royal army!"

This loud shout immediately made the Liao army soldiers under the city shake, especially the Han soldiers wandered around and were about to disperse. Gao Mohan's eyes were so angry that he was entangled with the Han army all the way, and his confidence was in this small but affordable city. However, at this time, there were pursuers in front and the back road was cut off.

What made him even more desperate was that behind the Yongqing army, the Han flag was flying and the smoke and dust were swept away. He rushed to the front. After Ma Quanyi's side, reinforcements arrived, and seeing strange situations on the city, he decisively ordered the entire army to attack Gao Mohan. This time, he did not leave any strength at all. He personally rushed forward with a knife.

When the Xi cavalry, who was entangled with the Han cavalry led by Ma Renyu, saw this scene, he did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly got rid of it and fled eastward, but he had no intention of paying attention to Gao Mohan.

Gao Mohan wanted to give Han and Xi's army to his palace, but he never thought that it would be difficult to get it in the end. In fact, no matter how weak the combat power of the Xi cavalry was, he would not be completely involved by Ma Renyu with his superior force, and the pressure on the Han army should not be that little bit. However, it is just like this to get the result.

Instead of continuing to pursue the Xi cavalry, Ma Renyu turned his troops and besieged Gao Mohan's infantry. After the Xin'an army participated in the battle, the complete collapse of Gao Mohan's army also came after the three sieges.

However, it is not an exaggeration to describe the Bohai soldiers as a soldier. The puppet troops all surrendered, but there were more than 300 Bohai soldiers who were left to protect Gao Mohan tightly.

In this regard, the Han army had no intention of persuading surrender, and attacking and killing. In the end, Ma Renyu, a brave general, personally led his men to break in, killed five people in a row, rushed to Gao Mohan, raised his sword, and his head fell to the ground.

Ma Renyu's knife had already cut a little curled, and the blunt knife only cut off half of Gao Mohan's neck, and his last consciousness was only severe pain.

In the Battle of Shicheng, the prime minister of the Southern Prefecture of Liao, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and Gao Mohan, the commander of the southern commander of the army, was killed. This was the highest-ranking general of the Liao Kingdom that the Han army had killed since the Northern Expedition, although they were from Bohai.

It took some time to clean the battlefield, and a rough statistics of the results of the battle came out soon. In addition to the escaped Xi cavalry, more than 3,000 Liao army infantry and cavalry were wiped out, and more than 1,500 puppet troops surrendered and captured.

Ma Quanyi was a little curious about Gao Mohan's military equipment. After interrogating the prisoners, he found out the reason. Ma Quanyi couldn't help but sigh: "This Gao Mohan is also a famous general of the Liao Dynasty. In order to preserve his strength, he consumed the troops of Han Xi and finally abandoned it. He was a great head and became our victory, but he was also the result!"

"It's a pity that after so long fighting, most of the Han people were killed or injured!" Ma Renyu sighed.

Upon hearing this, Ma Quanyi was also a little angry and said, "Tell me the order to take these 'Han people' first and select all their officers!"

"yes!"
