When the Song army appeared in front of the gate of Guangwucheng in Daliao, the Liao guards Yelu and Lu We laughed.
Yelu and Lu On were the half-brothers of Yelu Hongji.
After Yelu Hongji ascended the throne, he canonized his younger brother as the "King of Song".
Just looking at the titles of Yelu and Luo, we can see how ambitious Yelu Hongji is.
It's a pity that Yelu Hongji was unlucky.
Although he was determined to go south and unify the Central Plains, domestic conflicts continued in the Liao Kingdom.
Before the domestic conflicts were settled, Yelu Hongji was determined to go south, but he himself was not worried about the back garden.
It was out of desperation that Yelu Hongji's plan to go south was repeatedly delayed.
Now, Yelu Hongji knows that he is getting old and if he doesn't go south, he will have no chance.
As a result, Yelu Hongji hurriedly went south when he didn't know tomorrow, and he failed.
In eight or seven months, winter will begin.
Isn't this an opportunity sent from heaven?
Yelu Hongji believed that as long as winter came and the Song army and Heshi could continue to retreat, he would be able to save a year of preparation time.
Guangwucheng saw that the Liao people had formed an army before they were defeated, so he didn't bother to say anything more. He waved his left hand back and ordered the troops to charge forward.
As long as the Song Dynasty shows its flaws, Yelu and Lu On can look for opportunities to go south again anytime and anywhere.
Although Yelu and Luo were Yelu Hongji's younger brothers and were extremely powerful, he still had several auxiliary generals around him.
A Han official hesitated and suggested again:
"Seize the city gate!"
The bad thing is that I have rich experience. As soon as Yelu and Lu went to the city tower, I immediately ordered the soldiers under the city wall to hold swords and bows, ready to respond to my little king anytime and anywhere.
It's August now.
The bad thing is that the Song Army quickly realized that the big movement was caused by their own troops, and then they cheered in a low voice.
Although the Liao Kingdom has been learning Han culture and trying hard to teach tribal leaders loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.
Yelu and Lu Go thought that they would have to wait for a long time, and they might not even have a chance to make themselves the 'King of Song' come true.
When they left the customs, there were 800,000 Song people in total.
Seeing the Song people approaching step by step, no minister could bear the pressure. He approached Yelu Hongji and proposed the first 'peace talks' proposal since the founding of the Liao Kingdom:
At this time, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty took the initiative to fight back.
Qiao Fengxiang was not very interested in the city built by the Liao people. He was surrounded by people and came to the city lord's palace. He met with the Liao generals and then held a 'military meeting'.
However, in the name of peace talks, it is still unnecessary to delay the process temporarily.
Seeing that the Liao people had a "Liao traitor" and took the initiative to open the city gate, Guangwu City continued to prepare its troops and quickly ordered the artillery battalion that had been prepared to fire at the city gate tower!
Seeing the soldiers of the two countries entangled, the Song people's artillery fire stopped.
Su Mingzhe was built against the backdrop of the ancient Great Wall.
During that siege, the small artillery was extremely effective, which also excited the Song generals.
For a time, the Song people's morale improved slightly, while the Liao people were as panicked as a rat scurrying around.
The Liao people wanted to resist, but the momentum was lost.
"My lord, no!"
Guangwu City was also aware of this, so they immediately divided their troops and gave "micro management", asking several young generals to set off from the seventh route and sweep across the central and western parts of the Liao Kingdom.
Boom boom boom——
In just two months, the Song people could almost call their troops bloody, and they took over half of the Liao Kingdom's territory.
When a thousand small cannons used the "eight-stage attack" strategy, they made their debut in that world.
Yelu Hongji agreed to peace talks!
"Open the city gate, I want to meet the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty for a while!"
"Xiao Wuna, he will not increase my ambition or destroy his own prestige!"
"Xiao Wang, take a quick look. This Song army has a solemn appearance and a well-organized formation. It can be said that its morale is like a rainbow. It is coming from a good person. Now that you have lost the advantage of defending the city, you should avoid its sharp edge. Wait for it to work hard again.
When it is in decline and exhausted, it is too late to launch a counterattack!"
"Your Majesty, let's have peace talks!"
It is certain that within that year, the Liao Kingdom would be able to produce these sharp firearms for the Song Army.
At one hour, Guangwu City followed Xiaojun and stood inside the gate of Su Mingzhe City.
Before the troops of the Xiao Song Dynasty retreated into the Liao Kingdom, they were like wild horses that had let go of the reins, running smoothly all the way, stopping to attack the city and encircle the territory.
the other side.
Although peace talks are possible.
Yelu and Luo snorted loudly, but they were willing to disobey the veteran general's advice and said with a warm smile:
"Peace talks? Haha..."
However, before Yelu Hongji ascended the throne, he had been arbitrarily humiliating various tribal leaders and treated his own people tyrannically.
Thinking of that, Yelu Hongji was too lazy to think about it. He pointed directly at the official who made the suggestion and ordered: "In this case, I will appoint him as the special envoy for peace talks. Later, I will go to the Southern Dynasty Emperor to discuss the peace talks. It will be delayed for up to eight days."
Month, yes, seven months!"
The generals quickly stopped their own Xiao Wang. An old and prudent veteran pointed at the military formation that Xiao Song was about to set up and admonished:
Not to mention that the Liao people were so frightened by the thunderous sound of artillery fire that their legs became weak and their soldiers and horses were in chaos. It was not Qiao Feng himself who had not expected it.
Yelu Hongji is a fool.
Boom boom boom——
Before those tribes received Yelu Hongji's order, not only did they not come to 'King Qin', they even took the initiative to look for Qiao Feng, submitted a letter of surrender, and asked for 'submission'.
Boom boom boom——
As for Guangwucheng himself, he led the remaining small army and approached Xiajing in the eastern part of the Liao Kingdom.
When Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Xiao Liao Dynasty learned that Qiao Feng had captured his city and divided his troops into seven groups to sweep across the Liao Kingdom, he quickly ordered the leaders of each tribe to become King Qin.
Now that the Song Dynasty is weak and he demands peace talks, will the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty still bully himself like he did when he bullied the Song army in the future?
Yelu Hongji listened to what the official said and quite agreed with it.
Although Xiao Wuna was a veteran who assisted in the defense of the city and was a former clan member of Xiaoliao, he could only obey orders when faced with the arrogant Yelu and Lu Wo.
"Your Majesty, the military power of the Xiao Song Dynasty is growing day by day, and the weapons are sharp. The generals of your Liao Kingdom are afraid of you like a tiger, so you dare to fight. If you seek peace talks, I am afraid that after ten months, you will be beaten to the capital. With the humble ministers
The plan is to use the peace talks as an excuse to delay the time first, and wait until your general Xiao Liao is in charge to build the Song army's firearms. By then, the offensive and defensive momentum will definitely be reversed..."
From July to August.
Without the support of artillery fire, if you get to the camp first, it is almost a bloody sword, and you can take it to the city gate.
Yelu Hongji looked at the frightened ministers and smiled slowly:
Yelu and Lu We insisted on acting arbitrarily and asked Xiao Wuna to stay under the city wall to see how I could lead my troops to kill the Song people.
When the seventh round of artillery fire roared past.
At that time, it means that the offensive and defensive trends are reversed, and at least they can be equal, right?
Suppose there are no east, west, and south gates, but only the north gate.
Guangwu City was firmly in the center of the army and was constantly dispatching troops and generals. Seeing that the military formation was about to break down, they were thinking of how to stimulate the Liao people and vent the enemy's morale. As a result, the Liao people's city gate suddenly opened slightly.
, groups of Liao cavalry rushed out.
It was also Yelu Hongji who underestimated himself and the Liao Kingdom.
"The emperors of the Southern Dynasties are all as brave as rats. Now it is difficult for a stupid young man to come out and lead his troops to fight in person. If you take the opportunity to capture me, I will scare you away when I see the bravery of your Khitan Pishi army.
Already?"
"Are all Liao people that brave?"
Frustrated, Yelu Hongji returned to Beijing by himself, but asked his younger brother to stay at the border city of Guangwu.
Now, before the army continues to absorb the tribe's cavalry, its number has increased instead of decreasing, and has expanded to a small army of 800,000.
The Liao army was so frightened that their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears would bleed, they would urinate and urinate together, and collapse to the ground. There were several soldiers who fled forward.
At that time, all the generals turned into Da Ma Chao, and they all took the initiative to ask for help, asking to lead their troops northward to continue to expand their military achievements.
During the expedition to Xiaoliao, Guangwu City brought 8,000 cannons, but now there are less than 1,000 cannons in place.
"Even if I want peace talks, will the Southern Emperor refuse?"
Therefore, even if you die, you can still be humiliated!
