    "Perhaps in history, Xiao Yanyan suffered several defeats in a row and was unable to capture even Yingzhou. Daming Mansion also failed to capture, let alone Kaifeng City. But Zhao Heng was also worried about failure, so the two sides formed a tacit agreement to form an alliance under the city.  After all, the sight of two huge armies will put a lot of pressure on the good-hearted Comrade Zhao Heng. Besides, he may also have vascular and neurological diseases. " "But this.  At that time, Wang Chao's army of hundreds of thousands was replaced by Cao Wei, and his retreat was blocked. He fell into the pit of Chanzhou, hundreds of miles away from the Liao border. Surrounded on all sides and ambushed from all sides, Xiao Yanyan had no choice but to fight to the death. "  Anxious.  Zhao Heng was beating the drum, and she was also beating the drum, and issued an edict. Whoever attacked Chanzhou City first would be rewarded with a king's title and ten thousand taels of gold. Whoever captured and killed the Emperor of Song Dynasty first would be rewarded with a king's title and one hundred thousand taels of gold.  .  "Don't doubt whether there is this gold, as long as Zhao Heng is killed, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed, and Kaifeng will be rich.  "And the Song Army's strength is not as good as the Liao Army at the moment. There may be many behind them, but they may not be able to catch up in time.  Xiao Talin suffered the first loss, but he will not suffer the second loss. The Liao army went south with a small number of infantry, and broke through several state cities, and also obtained a large number of weapons, including shields, armors, etc.  Then he did something that made Zhao Heng very angry. He sandwiched the captured Song Dynasty people among the Liao infantry, held a shield and a broadsword in his hand, and approached the baggage train.  As long as the ropes of the baggage trains are connected one by one, the cavalry at the rear can quickly rush into the Song army's formation, and a massacre will begin.  The question now is whether the Song army can fire arrows?  Zhao Heng glanced at Li Jilong from the corner of his eyes.  Queen Mother Li died, and Zhao Heng was very sad.  The jealousy over what happened back then faded away, and Queen Mother Li was no longer there.  Li Jilong doesn't need to be so taboo.  Therefore, Zhao Heng¡¯s attitude changed somewhat, although he was still a little unhappy.  Of course he has many things to worry about.  Cao Wei has little qualifications and is not qualified to command the hundreds of thousands of Song troops in the north.  "The spearmen are on the front line, ready to fight. The crossbowmen are also ready to eject the cavalry at the rear. The shield men are ready, while protecting the soldiers behind them, try to pull the people behind the baggage vehicles." Li Jilong issued the first order.  , the flag bearer quickly conveyed it with the flag.  Before the arrows were fired, the emperor beat drums on the top of the city and his own soldiers shot at the people of his country.  So unlucky.  Xiao Yanyan watched from the high platform, knowing that the opportunity was coming, and ordered: "Prepare to attack." The dark army finally collided, and countless shouts came from the battlefield that was seven or eight miles long.  The Song army did not use their best weapon, the crossbow, but the Liao infantry successfully approached the baggage train.  The weather and terrain were also favorable to them. In these years, cotton became more popular in the Song Dynasty and even brought a lot of wealth to the people in the north.  After all, the grain output in the north is too low, so farming is a must.  Never as good as the South.  However, cotton output is not much worse than that in the south, which greatly makes up for the lack of agricultural income in the north.  Various cotton products were even exported to Goryeo and various surrounding cold countries, including Japan.  But it can only be said that the soldiers put on cotton-padded clothes.  It can be stationed and moved in colder weather or even further north.  However, when it comes to fighting, the addition of cotton-padded clothes will undoubtedly make the soldiers move a little clumsily.  Or there is a benefit.  Sometimes it can be used as a simple piece of armor, as long as the arrows fired are not strong.  With the protection of cotton-padded clothes and armor, there will be no casualties.  But this weather.  It is obviously more beneficial to the Liao army.  The open terrain is more conducive to the conflict between the Liao army and cavalry.  The soldiers couldn't care less. It was almost a life-and-death battle. The emperors of both sides stood behind and watched, and each was beating drums to cheer.  Therefore, morale is extremely high.  The Liao infantry rushed up first, and the Song army counterattacked in unison.  The long spears were thrust through the baggage train array, and the short spears were thrown.  But it can also be seen that some soldiers made many mistakes one after another because of their nervousness. The enemy was not within their shooting range, and despite prior training, they still threw the short spears in advance.  In turn, the Liao army also captured some short spears, and they had no scruples. They could throw spears and fire arrows, which also caused heavy casualties to the Song army.  Zhang Qixian said: "Compassion does not control soldiers" "It is of great significance. The weapons in the hands of our soldiers cannot be pointed at our people!" Li Jilong said expressionlessly.  Zhang Qixian suddenly thought of the things in Bashu and Song Jiu's several army orders, and closed his mouth.  Zhao Heng had some beads of sweat on his forehead and his body was trembling.  Song Jiu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since the time of Taizu, the policy of equalizing the people has been implemented, but are the poor people and the powerfulAre they aligned?  Chen does not refer to wealth, but to various aspects of treatment, such as laws and taxes.  " Zhao Heng is puzzled. "Your Majesty, why did the Liao army invade after the two disastrous defeats at Gaolianghe and Qigou Pass, but they did not dare to go straight in and penetrate deep into the gate of Gyeonggi.  But in the hands of His Majesty, Queen Mother Xiao dared to do this.  " "Didn't you say that?  " "That is one of the motives. There is another reason. The two former emperors were naturally strong, but the Liao Kingdom did not dare to do so.  Your Majesty loves the people like his own son, which is a good thing for the people, but his character is a bit soft. Because he doesn't want the people to be separated from their wives and children because of the war, he wants to reconcile with the Liao Kingdom.  However, sometimes the truth is not spoken, but punched out.  For example, the poor people I mentioned, although the imperial court implemented the policy of harmonizing the people, they will always be a vulnerable group, so it is impossible to truly harmonize the people.  The same is true for countries. If you want peace, sometimes you have to not only reason, but also compete with fists" Song Jiu suddenly thought of his previous life. "There has been no war for decades. Even if he wanted to agree to it in the United Nations, he ended up trying to curry favor with Western powers.  , and had to abstain. It seems that it is not like a big country, but it is still described as an evil country. Why is Zhao Heng dumb?  Speechless. Song Jiu thought that he was too coward, so Xiao Yanyan came to bully him. Song Jiu ordered the eunuch to bring him some medicinal soup. According to what Liu E said, Zhao Heng might have a neurological or vascular disease.  It's still a hereditary disease of the Zhao family. This noisy and bloody environment is not good for Zhao Heng's health. Then he said: "Your Majesty, I know that your Majesty is feeling uncomfortable.  But Your Majesty, I have to endure today no matter what.  Whether His Majesty can be etched in the annals of history and become a British ruler, and whether the Song Dynasty can become strong and prosperous all depends on today.  " Zhao Heng nodded. But after Song Jiu's words, his nervousness improved slightly, and then he looked at the battlefield. "The battlefield was extremely cruel, and soldiers fell every minute. Some soldiers were clever and clever.  While fighting, they shouted, "You stay in the Liao army. The Song army can't fire arrows. But the Liao cavalry came over after this bloody battle."  , most of the people either fell or fled to the Song army. Li Jilong said: "Set the arrows.  " Tens of thousands of Fulu crossbows were tightened, and tens of thousands of bows and arrows were hung high. Then, just like the rain of locusts during a locust plague, they flew into the sky and then fell. However, after this effort, many cavalry had already rushed to the front of the train, and  Many ropes were cut off by the Liao infantry, and if they were not connected, they would be able to break through this strange car formation. Li Jilong shouted again: "Everyone ordered their troops to push out the cavalry."  " Most of the broken cavalry troops were also brought here, instead of being in the two armies on the Western Front, and then dispersed by various commanders. They were integrated into the commands of each capital, that is, in each legion. These broken cavalry troops immediately put into use  The Liao army's attack was effectively blocked. There were arrows flying in the sky, and various weapons from the Liao Dynasty were fighting on the ground. However, the situation on the battlefield was still unclear. After more than half an hour, the Liao army gradually took over.  Li Jilong then said: "Big stone cannon.  ¡± The big stone cannon is a trebuchet, one with the character of stone and the other with the character of fire. It also played a role for a time, but the two countries almost reached the pinnacle of the history of cold weapon wars, and then the Liao army found a way to crack it.  If it is equipped with a gunpowder pack, it will not work if it is small. If it is large, the range is not far and the rate of fire is slow. If you see it coming, you can get out of the way in advance. Moreover, the trebuchet also has many fatal shortcomings. No matter how you improve it, you must use multiple people.  Operation, the rate of fire has never been faster. It played a role, but it did not play a leading role, including the Liao army once using captured trebuchet gunpowder to attack the Song Dynasty city, and once Lei Youzhong used trebuchets to put down Wang Jun's rebellion and attack Chengdu.  . What the defenders did was simpler. They just lay down underground and solved the problem. There were casualties, but there can be no casualties in the war. As long as there are no fatal casualties, the situation of the war cannot be completely reversed. However, this time the Song Dynasty came forward.  The trebuchets are different from those of the past. They are huge, and even if they are improved, they will still require nearly a hundred soldiers to operate. Of course, they are also special cases. Generally, clumsy trebuchets like this on the front line may not be useful. First of all, it is only now.  One hundred trebuchets would require almost tens of thousands of troops. If there are so many troops in the forts on the front line, it doesn't matter.Use.  But it can be used now.  These improved trebuchets have more disadvantages, such as more complicated operation and slower launch speed, but they can throw spherical objects weighing 500 to 600 kilograms to 700 meters away.  With Li Jilong¡¯s order, one hundred trebuchets began to work.  Then one hundred big balls fell into the Liao cavalry that came up from behind.  Black gunpowder is far less powerful than yellow gunpowder. Although it has good stability, unlike yellow gunpowder now, although it can be produced, it is rarely used in practice.  However, if the black powder weighs 500 kilograms and contains many more vicious nails and caltrops, its properties will be completely different.  A hundred loud noises were then heard among the dark Liao cavalry. Although the Liao Kingdom had already prepared and even put harnesses on their horses, when the loud noise stopped, many soldiers still fell, and even many soldiers fell.  The war horses galloped wildly.  Thick shadows rose on the blood-stained snow, and the battlefield suddenly became temporarily quiet.  With just one blow, hundreds of Liao soldiers were killed, and many more were injured. They fell down the battlefield and kept howling.  The Song army took this opportunity to push the Liao army out of the formation.  However, Xiao Yanyan on the other side was also red-eyed, and following the order, countless iron cavalry were sent up from behind.  The battle situation continued to be fiercely stalemate. On the front line of the Song Army, both sides were fighting for their lives on every inch of land and every trench.  Then another hundred large gunpowder packets were thrown.  But this time, the Liao army was already prepared. The generals watched them fall and immediately ordered to evacuate in all directions.  Many Liao soldiers were still killed, but the Liao State continued to desperately attack the Song Army camp.  The enemy horses deployed in front were destroyed one by one, the trenches were lost, the baggage train arrays were knocked open, and the battlefield gradually closed in on the fence of the Song Army's camp.  Li Jilong ordered: "After withdrawing from the camp fence, continue to use the fence to snipe." It seemed that this was a correct order, but Li Jilong regretted it very much afterwards.  The Song army obeyed the order and retreated. However, during this retreat, some soldiers began to run away because of cowardice, and took advantage of the Liao army to rush into the camp.  Song Jiu suddenly shouted: "Long live the Great Song Dynasty." "Long live your Majesty." "The Lord will humiliate his ministers and die, and the country will humiliate his ministers and die." As he shouted, the soldiers guarding the city also shouted,  Even the Song troops under the city shouted.  This stabilized morale, and the military judge behind them began to kill the fleeing soldiers. The soldiers in the front fought bloody battles without a rout.  Li Jilong glanced at Song Jiu gratefully.  Then the two looked at each other. Li Jilong looked at the hourglass. Nearly two hours had passed until now. So he raised his telescope from the tower and looked into the distance.  Suddenly he raised his sword and struck it down.  Pan Wei saw his action from below and shouted: "Damn, finally let me appear."
