    "Boom, boom, boom" The cast-iron mortar roared with a roar that shook the world. The large-caliber siege cannon was loaded with more gunpowder, and when it exploded, it was louder than the bronze cannon.  The rows of artillery on the artillery array seemed to be spraying flames, and stones weighing nearly a hundred kilograms were thrown into the air and rolled in the sky.  Earth and rocks splashed on the distant city wall.  Outside the city, a large number of soldiers and civilians pushing wheelbarrows filled the moat outside the city wall, and the huge shouts seemed to destroy everything.  Guo Shao opened the carriage and looked at the scene of thousands of troops gathered outside. General Gao Huaide was boosting morale in front of the battle, shouting something impassionedly, and the soldiers shouted in response.  The exciting battlefield made Guo Shao miss his former military career But now he does not need to go to the front of the battlefield. As an emperor, controlling the situation is what he should do. He only needs generals to fight.  Guo Shao waved to Lu Chengyong, and Lu Chengyong hurriedly rode closer to the carriage.  Guo Shao then said: "Send someone to convey the order to Gao Huaide and capture Jinzhou within fifteen days!" "That's the order!" Lu Chengyong replied with fists firmly in his hands.  Guo Shao patted the wooden board of the carriage and said, "Return to the Chinese army." A group of cavalry protected the driver and returned to the military camp.  Guo Shao walked into a tent within the fence, and soon the eunuch Yang Shiliang and the civil servant Lu Duoxun came in.  The sound of cannons was still rumbling around, as noisy as a thunderstorm.  Guo Shao sat down under a chopping board filled with files and papers, glanced at the two of them, and asked, "Is there any news from the King of Liao's tent?" Yang Shiliang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, not yet."  Lu Duoxun said: "The former camp's military government has ordered all the scouts to report any suspicious people to the military government immediately." Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "Guessing and worrying about waiting for the results, waiting is always the most difficult day.  "Lu Duoxun raised his hands and said, "I will go to the military mansion and ask Deputy Wei if there is any news today." Guo Shao nodded slightly, moved the inkstone on the chopping board, and pulled out a simple picture.  There are some circle arrows drawn on it with a brush.  The upper left corner is marked with the Qi King's Department of the Liao Army; an oval is drawn with a dotted line in the northeast, which says the Liao King's Tent, with a question mark because the specific location of the King's Tent is unknown and it is moving at any time.  The Yalu River and other places were also marked. A sketch could allow Guo Shao to observe the situation at this moment more intuitively.  He raised his head, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.  Yang Shiliang looked at him slightly, his body became more respectful, and he did not dare to make a sound to disturb him, even if the sound of cannons outside was shaking the sky and the earth.  This time the troops were dispatched for the Northern Expedition with great momentum. It was announced to the world that grain and troops were mobilized from countless states and counties. The total number of troops was less than 100,000, but it seemed to be launching a nationwide war!  This was mostly a deliberate strategy by the imperial court, because the strategic purpose was to force peace.  In addition to the needs of national policy, this is also an important part of Guo Shao's strategy for Xiao Siwen.  Last autumn and winter, Guo Shao pretended to be ill and used Yang Ye to lure Xiao Siwen into being deceived. During the siege of Yanmen, Xiao Siwen lost the power to preside over the government. At this time, if Xiao Siwen was forced to make peace, if Xiao Siwen could take the blame again Guo Shao believed that Xiao Siwen should play  It's over.  The key is to make the Liao monarchs and ministers decide that peace must be sought!  At this moment, Lu Duoxun walked into the tent quickly. Guo Shao opened his eyes and observed the expression. He thought he had got the news about the Liao king's tent, so he calmly waited for Lu Duoxun to speak.  Lu Duoxun cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the front camp military office. The troops of King Qi of Liao Kingdom suddenly changed direction and marched south to Jinzhou!" Guo Shao suddenly showed a look of surprise and surprise, and stretched out his hand to rub his forehead a few times.  Lu Duoxun said: "It must be the king of Liao who forced Yu Sage to come and break the siege of Jinzhou." There are usually various uncertainties in layout and strategy, and this incident is one of them.  Guo Shao thought about it for a while and then said: "I have ordered Wei Renpu, Shi Yanchao and Dong Zunjie to come to see you." Not long after, the light in the tent dimmed slightly, and a huge body blocked the light.  Shi Yanchao said impatiently: "The one with the surname Gao was having a lively fight in front, and I just watched it, and I felt uncomfortable all over!" Then Wei Renpu and Dong Zunyi also walked in, and the three of them clasped their fists together and saluted, "Your Majesty, live forever.  "Guo Shao said: "The king of Qi in the Liao Dynasty sent his troops southward." "What!" After hearing this, Shi Yanchao, who was bending down to salute, almost jumped up and said with a glare, "Guan, listen here.  He was so frightened that he retreated when he heard my name. If he saw his true form on the battlefield, he would be scared to death!" Dong Zunjie was stunned. Shi Yanchao suddenly took half a step forward and blocked Dong Zunjie behind him.  Dong Zunzhen took a step to the right and avoided Shi Yanchao's body. Unexpectedly, Shi Yanchao took another step to the right.  Guo Shaodao said: "·H Sa Ge temporarily went south, and their morale is not high. If we can use cavalry to repel the ·H Sa Ge tribe at this time, Gao Huaide will not have to dismantle the siege. What does Deputy Wei think?"Wei Renpu frowned, as if he was desperately thinking about the trade-off, and replied with a little confidence: "If your Majesty decides to do so, you can give it a try." Guo Shao understood Wei Renpu's concerns. This kind of siege tactic means that the troops are relatively dispersed.  If you encounter strong reinforcements and attack from outside, it will be very difficult to fight.  "Dong Zunjie!" Guo Shao shouted immediately.  Dong Zunzui hurriedly squeezed out from behind Shi Yanchao, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "The end is here!" Shi Yanchao's face was so anxious that he was about to cry.  Guo Shaodao: "You lead your light cavalry to support General Shi. Shi Yanchao, I order you to lead the main force of the cavalry to attack, go north to look for Sage and defeat him!" Shi Yanchao was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said with great momentum: "The officials will wait for the good news.  ! "Shi Yanchao and Dong Zunjie led their cavalry to search for the Ling River (Daling River) northward. The next day, they reached the west side of Yiwulu Mountain and encountered the majority of the Liao army.  At that time, the Daling River on the west side of the people and horses gradually changed from a north-south flow to an east-west flow. On the east side was the Lushan Mountains, which gradually became higher and steeper. The Xu army in the south had a narrow terrain; the Liao army in the north was on open land.  Dong Zunjie caught up with Shi Yanchao on horseback and advised: "Don't rush forward, Duke Shi. If the Liao army waits for Duke Shi to cross the river mouth and cut off the retreat; the terrain in the south is narrow, and it will be difficult to rescue them in time!" Shi Yanchao sneered: "Even your uncle  It's the same in fighting, you're good at being a teacher. Keep an eye on me from behind!" After saying this, he slapped his horse's butt, raised his iron spear and shouted: "Kill!" Then he led his troops to lead the troops forward without saying a word.  Unexpectedly, a small group of light cavalry ran faster than Shi Yanchao. Shi Yanchao was using his fine cavalry to jog a large group of cavalry, preparing for a big fight. When he saw this, he immediately became angry and cursed: "F*ck, whose people are those?  "The general shouted: "General Dong's people are not under our control!" There were many banners around Shi Yanchao, and the big banner with the word "Shi" could be seen from a distance, and thousands of horse soldiers were following him.  The movement of the flag moves northward.  Shi Yanchao was too lazy to care about that small group of people and continued to lead his troops northward.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  The Liao army gathered in several large formations in the north, and the horse group in the middle road has moved south.  A group of Xu Jun's troops rushed more than a hundred steps in front of the formation. Suddenly they raised their arms and shouted: "Shi Yanchao, the most powerful general in the world, is here. If you don't run away, you will die!" Shi Yanchao heard the shout and was very relieved. The two armies were separated by  After only two hundred steps, he kicked the horse in the belly, roared and began to charge faster.  The Liao army spread out from east to west and outflanked them. Horse hooves roared across the mountains and rivers, and the shouts of killing were loud.  Not long after, there was a rain of arrows in the air. Shi Yanchao's heavy cavalry bore the brunt. They did not carry bows and arrows, but braved the arrows and rushed forward, completely ignoring the soldiers who were injured by the arrows.  The cavalry on both sides approached at a visible speed like a torrent, and the brown sand on the river beach was swallowed up and reduced by the black horses.  The heavy cavalry threw iron spears at the Liao cavalry when they came face to face, and there was no sign of slowing down the pace of the hand-to-hand encounter.  Shi Yanchao shouted and dismounted two of his cavalry, and rushed forward. A group of heavy cavalry pierced through the Liao army's forward like a huge sharp arrow at high speed!  The speed of the non-stop heavy cavalry of Xu's army was beyond the imagination of both armies. After the forward rushed out, it left room for the people and horses behind to sprint, and more soldiers and horses entered the Liao army's formation.  Shi Yanchao's troops were invincible and unstoppable, causing conflicts among the Liao soldiers.  He rushed to the front, and the dark spear in his hand was danced so lightly and flexibly that it looked like a wooden pole, but in fact it was made of iron!  A Liao soldier swung the iron bone flower towards Shi Yanchao. Shi Yanchao pulled out the iron spear that pierced the chest of the cavalryman next to him. He swept across and blocked the iron bone flower with a "hoo", and there was a loud "clang" and only sparks were seen.  Splashing, the iron bone flower was shot straight into the air. The iron gun swept the Liao Qi's ear protection with strong wind. There was a terrifying "click" sound of the cervical vertebrae breaking. The man's head had drooped down, and his whole body  Roll off the horse.  Shi Yanchao¡¯s breastplate and shoulder armor were full of arrows. He stretched out his hand and broke them all and threw them away!  There are three layers of armor, plate armor and locks. Even if an arrow that can penetrate the three layers of armor can hurt him, it will still feel like scratching an itch in his eyes.  Xu Jun¡¯s heavily armored and elite cavalry were all covered in blood. They were very brave and terrifying, and their shouts were deafening.  However, Xu Jun's horizontal expansion was insufficient, Shi Yanchao rushed too fast, and the entire cavalry formed a long formation.  The two wings of the Liao army rushed towards the flank of Xu's army, and soon cut off the relatively thin formation in the middle.  Xu Jun was divided into two parts, and the front and rear could no longer respond!  Dong Zunjie's eyes were filled with running cavalry and dust. He observed the Liao army in the distance galloping to the east and west without any sign of stagnation. He knew that Shi Yanchao was surrounded in front.  "Damn it!" Dong Zunzhen cursed loudly. In front of his men and horses were all Xu Junqi.Soldier, the flat land at the mouth of the river is very narrow and has been blocked for a long time!  Dong Zunzui looked to the left and saw some cavalry soldiers stuck in the mud by the river and struggling to move back.  The hillside on the right front is full of horse soldiers.  This place is at the foot of Lu Mountain. The mountains get higher and higher towards the east, and the mountains deep in the sight seem like dark clouds pressing down on the horizon.  "Shi Yanchao is off!" Dong Zunjie said anxiously.
