Under this situation, there was only one effect: the 60-year-old Yelu Chun was furious! The Song Dynasty sent an envoy, and was killed by Yelu Chun...

At this time, Tong Guan had completed the implementation of Zhao Ji's first two policies. In May, he formally made an official Northern Expedition with an army of more than 150,000 people!

The entire army was divided into two routes: the East Army branch division road, launched an offensive from Baigou; the West Army Xin Xingzong attacked from Fancun. The East Army was both the main force, both the strength and the target! Therefore, the initial focus of the war was concentrated on the Baigou River! This was the boundary river between the Song and Liao countries, and has been a must-fight for military strategists since ancient times. Tracing the source, when Jing Ke assassinated Qin, he asked Prince Dan of Yan to enter Qin with Fan Yuqi's head and Du Kang map as gifts. The map was the Baigou area!

This time Tong Guan's Northern Expedition was supposed to have a sudden attack and crossed the border instantly, but he still met the Liao army in Baigou!

Despite the turmoil, Zhong Shidao was still very serious when the war started. He sent Yang Keshi, the former commander of the former army, who was known as the enemy of ten thousand people, to seize the position - the bridge of the Baigoujie River! This is the top priority. Now the Song and Liao armies can watch through the river. As the attacking party, this bridge is crucial. If it was destroyed by the Liao army first, it would be a joke to build a bridge that can carry nearly 100,000 troops!

Yang Keshi acted very quickly. He rushed out with thousands of light cavalry. Although it was a away game, he rushed all the way and rushed directly to the north bank of the bridge. This was equivalent to throwing Baigou River behind him and entering the border of Liao. Natural dangers changed to a thoroughfare. At this time, he was in a good mood and took out the special weapon of the Song Dynasty from his arms - the List of Persuasion to Submission.

At this moment, the top officialdom of the Song Dynasty was still dreaming. No wonder, how could they know who was the opposite person at this time? The Marshal of the Northern Liao army opposite was Yelu Dashi! This last top scholar of the Great Liao, the 8th generation grandson of the founding Emperor Taizu, was both civil and military, just like destined to be an official next to Emperor Tianzuo, but stayed in Northern Liao. From then on, he stepped onto the stage of history!

The list of persuasion sent by Yang Keshi was torn to pieces by him and threw it on the ground. His next action surprised Yang Keshi. He did not order the Liao army to attack, but sent a large number of cavalry to rush to the lower reaches of Baigou River. What does this mean? Yang Keshi instantly understood that the reason why he was able to rush across Baigou Bridge was not because of his fast speed, but because Yelu Dashi didn't compete with him at all!

There must be shallows downstream! The Liao cavalry must wade across the river and seize the retreat of the Song army!

Realizing this, Yang Keshi immediately divided his troops to follow the Liao army and stared at the river. He set up defenses wherever the Liao army crossed the river! It happened that at this time, Zhong Shidao sent a support force, and the leader was the veteran Zhao De. Yang Keshi asked him to reinforce the lower reaches of the river, and he himself still occupied the Baihejie Bridge... No matter how you analyze it, this was the best plan at that time. He not only defended the vested interests, but also guarded the Liao army's plot, but the rest was to speak with strength. The two armies were hedging, and Yang Keshi was very eager!

He is the enemy of thousands of people, this is not empty talk, he shot him in the Northwest battlefield!

Yang Keshi calculated to the beginning, not the end; he calculated to himself correctly, but did not calculate Zhao De. Zhao De was an old Western Army. Logically speaking, when he got to this position, any Western Army general was all from a sea of ​​corpses and blood. Even if he couldn't win forever, he was at least not a coward? But everything was unexpected!

There are only a very small number of warriors who are never timid and never compromise. They are more brave and cowardly, depending on what enemy they encountered that day! Zhao De was like this. He chased downstream along the river bank, and his speed was very fast. Unfortunately, he came with reinforcements, and the activation was slower than Yelu Dashi. When he arrived, the Liao army pioneer had crossed the river from the shallows. Based on his experience, he immediately concluded that the fierceness of these Liao cavalrymen exceeded his courage!

These Khitans are here to fight to the death! They have been in the country for more than 00 years and have never been as embarrassed as they are now. Four of the five capitals have been lost. In this huge empire, only Youyan is left, and the Song Dynasty has forced her to the door! At this time, the Khitans can be described as "no more words, only death" when Yelu Dashi tear apart the list of people just now.

In the future, the founding emperors of Western Liao will fight to the death, but the soldiers under them will not fight to the death? They just want to die with this group of people from the Song Dynasty who took advantage of the situation and found a cheaper one!

Zhao De turned around and ran away! He threw Yang Keshi and thousands of Song army light cavalry north of Baigou Bridge on the opposite bank of the Border River, which was equivalent to artificially turning Yang Keshi's troops who had rushed forward quickly into an isolated army. As long as the Liao army crossing the river from the shallows came back, they would all fall into the encirclement!

In the crisis, Yang Keshi was furious. He scolded Zhao De, "Old man, why run away in a fight? What kind of grace do you do to serve the country?" No matter how much he scolded him, Zhao Old man ran like a rabbit, and it was impossible for him to come back to help him because of blushing...

Yelu Dashi commanded the army to quickly close the encirclement and wanted to eat the vanguard of the Song army. This was the first battle in his military career. To be honest, it was a very good start. In theory, he would definitely win a great victory? Unfortunately, he met the unreasonable Yang Keshi! There are people in this world that cannot be crushed to death by relying on many people. There are precedents in the history of the Khitan war...

During the Five Dynasties, with the combat power of the founding emperor Yelu Abaoji of the Great Liao Dynasty, he led 00,000 cavalry to surround more than 1,000 cavalry, including Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuang of Later Tang, Li Cunxu. As a result, Li Cunxu broke through the siege, gathered 100,000 infantry, and chased Yelu Abaoji for more than 100 miles! Based on martial arts value, Zhuangzong of Later Tang was definitely recognized as the strongest man in the Five Dynasties! Of course, Yang Keshi was not as good as Li Cunxu, but he was still not something that the last Liao army could surround!

Yang Keshi led his army to break through, and as soon as he started, he encountered the greatest danger. Yelu Dashi was the top scholar. He was too smart and did not give the Song army a chance. He gathered archers in the army, defended the southern end, and shot densely at the Song army! He hit Yang Keshi very accurately, and Yang Keshi's blood flowed down instantly. The flow was so high that he was filled with his combat boots. What he had in him was not ordinary arrows, but the caltrop arrows made by the Liao Kingdom. Such trauma was enough to make people lose their combat power. But Yang Keshi became more and more brave as he was injured. He let the Liao people know what "enemies of ten thousand people" mean, and he broke into the enemy formation, killing more than a hundred enemy cavalry in a row, leading his men and horses to break out of the siege and return to the camp!

It was so brave that it was enough to make Yelu Dashi and the Northern Liao army stunned! But looking back at the battle situation, the Song army was defeated no matter what. Even though they did not lose many soldiers and did not lose their positions, they still lost the first round! And Yang Keshi was seriously injured.

The army was not good, and the commander of the Eastern Army, Zhong Shidao, was indifferent to his intentions. He was reluctant to fight this battle, and he was even more lazy and dispersed. That night, Yelu Dashi attacked at night. He had superior troops, but did not attack. He just ordered all the battalions of the army to make a sound of golden drums. The Liao people did not know the reality and had to retreat. The next day, Yelu Dashi came to challenge again. This time the light was good, and he actually wanted to rush in and kick the camp? This appetite made Zhong Shidao angry. It was just a small contact with the front army. Have you gained some advantage? He was so arrogant that he ordered the entire army to prepare a big wooden stick, open the gate of the camp, and let Yelu Dashi in!

As a result, the Khitans ran back with their heads full of heads, and it was impossible to prove whether Yelu Dashi's head was also red and swollen? After learning this lesson, the battlefield on the Eastern Front was quiet for a short time. Both Zhong Shidao and Yelu Dashi turned their attention to the West...

Fancun, the commander of the Song Army's Western Route Army, Xin Xingzong, met a large number of international coalition forces here. He looked left and right, and based on his years of experience in foreign wars, he recognized that there were four races on the opposite enemy, namely Khitan, Han, Bohai, and Xi. This made him feel very good. The Liao Kingdom had already fallen to this point, and the country's elite troops were completely lost. He could not even produce a purely own army? Xin Xingzong walked onto the battlefield with this view, destined to be hit and bleeding. The Northern Liao army waiting for him in Fancun was indeed a miscellaneous army, but it depends on who was in control!

The commander is Xiao Gan. His ancestral miscellaneous craftsmanship can be said to be the leader of the miscellaneous military in the Great Liao Dynasty! Xiao Gan, a hereditary Xi branch, specialized in ethnic minority work, and he was the sixth generation in his generation. Regarding how to integrate different ethnic groups and combine them into concentrated combat power, he is the best candidate among the Northern Liao Kingdom today!

At the beginning of the battle, the discipline of the Song army was perfectly reflected. From Zhao Guangyi to Zhao Ji, there were 7 emperors, each generation of emperor required the generals of the Song Dynasty to obey the command, abide by the discipline, and fight according to the pre-arranged formation diagram. Therefore, each battle was a model show, and from beginning to end, it was standardized like an assembly line...

Like the Eastern Army, the Western Army also sent the front army to challenge. The whole country is fighting to the decisive battle, so you have to test it and know whether the other party is in reality or not?

The result is the same, and they are surrounded by numerous sieges. The reason is very simple. They rely on the large number of people to take advantage of the situation and are very relaxed. However, the Liao army is fighting hard, especially with few people. So, is there any other way besides rushing forward?

So it was the time for General Song to show his heroic spirit again! It was a heroic feat that fell into the siege and broke through it! It was just that there were too few "ten thousand enemies". The Western Army was temporarily out of stock. They were entangled by Xiao Gan and defeated the camp, and they were about to break away from the Western Army!

At the critical moment, Xin Xingzong stood up, the commander took the battle personally, and the above general Jie Yue supervised the battle, blocked Xiao Gan back! After the war, he took stock: his camp was not lost, and he could still stand on the front line. But Wang Yuan, the former commander of the Eastern Army, was exactly the same as Yang Keshi, the former commander of the Eastern Army, and he also stopped. The man was covered in blood and was almost supported by someone to return to the camp...

The most important thing is that morale plummeted. The Song army was collectively confused. Didn’t it mean that the Liao Kingdom would perish immediately? Did the army die? They were all scared to death, just died at the hands of the Song people or the Jin people? How could they still be so barbaric?

But the most confused person was Tong Guan! He was in the rear, waiting for one casualty report after another, which was far from the expectations! He wanted to jump and curse others than anyone else, and he wanted to roar at the sky - is this the most elite Western army of the Song Dynasty? Or is it the Western army that was invincible, broken the city and destroyed the country? The Song and Liao dynasties had no war for a hundred years, and the two countries had basically equal strength on the border. Then the Hebei region of the Song Dynasty was already a military vacuum zone. Why did there be such an army in the Yanyun region of the Liao Kingdom? Tong Guan could not figure out these problems at that time. Not only him, but only by fully grasping the historical process information of the Song, Liao and Jin Kingdoms at the same time can we analyze and give the answer!

1 Why did the Liao army become stronger? This is because of the stimulation of the Jin Dynasty! A century of peace has raised the Khitans as fat, white and tender as the Song people. I don’t know what it means, but in a few years, it is on the verge of destruction of the country. What pressure is this? Even if it is passive to fight, the combat power will be upgraded in a few years, not to mention the enthusiasm of the whole country to resist!

Why did the Western Army become weaker? God is above. Check the war history of the Western Army in recent years. The answer will come out by itself! It is not considered Shenzong. In the era of Zhezong, it started from Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne. The Western Army first recovered Hehuang and then started a war with Xixia. It fought for 8 consecutive years. During this period, it also drew the main force to go south for the first time, one to wipe out Bulu, one to pacify Fang La, and then marched into Yanyun without stopping. Such intensive combat tasks can not be handled even by the full modern mechanized troops, right? What's more, in addition to the 11th-century cold weapon army dominated by infantry! What's more, in addition to the victory and defeats between the Song and Xia battles, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty maintained a 100% winning rate, and they have always been attacked neatly within the specified time!

So now Tong Guan doesn't have to ask the heavens speechlessly. He should ask himself: Why are you so harsh to the Western Army? Even if the Song Dynasty authorities always assigned tasks to the Western Army, even if the Western Army was indeed the only decisive force in the Song Dynasty, you have to send it wherever there is something wrong. But as a direct leader, does Tong Guan have to fight for some time for his subordinates to breathe? Now he has finally squeezed the Western Army out of nothing, and the consequences are from top to bottom, and no one can be exceptional, and they have to swallow them all!

This moment came very quickly. Calculated the time. On the 6th, Yang Keshi was defeated in Baigou. On the 0th, Xin Xingzong lost in Fan Village. On June 1, Tong Guan suddenly received information that made him frightened: Tens of thousands of Liao troops were moving quickly towards the border in Youzhou... Northern Liao increased troops!

When Tong Guan was afraid, the world changed. After he was afraid, his life, the success or failure of the Northern Expedition, and even the fate of the Song Dynasty, suddenly turned and turned in a direction that no one could have imagined!

Speaking of Tong Guan, he was Li Xian's apprentice and a general among eunuchs, and he always gave people the impression that he was tough. Even if some places were very hated, it was reassuring to hand over the army to him. He did a good job before, and no matter who he beats internally and externally, he did not make the Song Dynasty suffer a loss. But at this time, he only heard the news that the other party had increased his troops, but he was immediately scared!

The formula flashed in his mind was simple. On the border line, the Liao army won the more with fewer ones, and he had no trump card in his hand. Now that the opponent has increased his troops, what else can he do? Ask Kaifeng for help and ask Zhao Ji to increase his troops? The elite soldiers of the whole country are in his hands, and there is no soldier to send at all!
