After the Iron Harrier heavy cavalry cut into the Liao army formation under the rain of arrows, the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides officially kicked off.

On the side of the Liao people, the panic caused by the heavy cavalry breaking into the formation at the beginning gradually dissipated with the beginning of hand-to-hand combat, which is not difficult to understand, people's fear of the process of impending danger is better than the danger itself, the terrible thing is not a sharp blade piercing into their body, but the moment when the blade breaks through the air and expands in the pupils, when the real hand-to-hand combat, the coward will suddenly become brave, not to mention that the Liao cavalry is not a coward.

This was a ferocious strangulation, the Xia army carried the power of the charge, and the Liao people relied on the strength of the strength and fought equally; Under the bright galaxy in the north, on the Gobi battlefield within a radius of five or six miles, hundreds of thousands of people who had never known each other were strangled together, although they did not know each other, but they did not hinder their hostility to each other in the slightest, and mercilessly slashed their weapons into each other's bodies.

The sound of "Xiu Xiu" sounded again, and two red flame bombs rose into the sky again in the valley, which was the Xia army of Kedun City rushing along the valley, and the baggage troops of the Liao army entering the valley had already been forced to withdraw by Li Jiqian's army, but a large number of baggage grain trucks blocked the retreat like a constipated large intestine, and there was chaos outside the valley, and it was impossible to withdraw from the valley.

The baggage team of the rear army that could not exit the valley was ruthlessly slaughtered by Li Jiqian, and the number of dead and wounded rose sharply, but it was not useless, and the dead men and horses and grain carts also blocked the advance of Li Jiqian's army, and the battle situation outside was stalemate, if Li Jiqian's 50,000 army cut into it from behind, the Liao soldiers would be defeated.

Zhang Yuantie stood on top of a tall crowned carriage with a blue face, watching the desperate hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield from a distance, but he didn't feel any excitement, frowned and asked a burly party general next to him: "General Ximu Weiming, our army of 100,000 people, plus Li Jiqian's 50,000 army assistance, the enemy army is only 50,000, three times more than the other party, why can't I see that our army has the potential to win?" ”

Standing beside him is the coup d'état meritorious fine mother Wei Ming, after the Empress Dowager Yeli took power, he jumped from a small guard commander of the small guard army to the commander of the Montenegrin Weifu Army, holding 70,000 troops stationed in the north of Dingzhou in Montenegro and the left side of the Utra banner; This time, the imperial court transferred 30,000 troops from the right wing army of Jiangzhou to form a 100,000-strong army with it, and ordered Zhang Yuan to be the commander-in-chief, and he was the deputy marshal, which was a great trust in him.

Although she is the queen mother's private pet in bed, she knows that between Zhang Yuan and herself, the queen mother will undoubtedly support Zhang Yuan, because there are countless talented men in the world, but there is only one Zhang Yuan who knows how to govern the country, so Zhang Yuan asked, and the fine mother quickly replied with a smile.

"Xiangguo don't worry, I have a backhand, and I only sent 60,000 cavalry to fight with the Liao, and there are still 40,000 fresh troops who have not played."

"Oh? Why don't you send them together? Zhang Yuan was a little puzzled.

"Xiangguo doesn't know, morale is the most important thing when fighting, you see, the Liao people's formation is extremely tight, and the advantage of a large number of people when engaging the enemy cannot be reflected, if we put all our belongings together, it will not play a role in defeating the enemy army in one fell swoop, and it will consume all our spirit; As the battle situation stalemates, the psychology of the soldiers on the battlefield will also change, no matter how high the morale of one side is, it can't stand the endless reinforcements of the other side, even if it has an advantage, it will become desperate because of the enemy's reinforcements; On the contrary, our soldiers are at a disadvantage, and every reinforcement will boost their morale. ”

Zhang Yuan looked at the fine mother in surprise and said: "Hey, General the fine mother's analysis is very reasonable, I didn't expect that the general is a famous general, and it has been buried for so many years." ”

The fine mother was a little shy, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from Lord Xiangguo, you know my background best, I learned all these from others, do you remember that night when the old thief attacked the palace?" That night, I guarded the palace wall with that Lord Su, and when Lord Su said this casually, I remembered it, and that night I didn't hide the false Pang Pang used this method, he did not swarm people to attack but attacked in batches, and it did quickly make us lose our ability to resist; If it weren't for the arrival of the army led by the Minister of State, the Queen Mother and the Emperor would have suffered that night. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Do you believe Su Jin's words?" Did that kid fight a fart fight? The battle of Weizhou was just an opportunistic victory, and you still remember his words. ”

Xi Mu Weiming's face turned red and said: "Even if what he said is wrong, I think that if you really want to attack with all your strength, it is the best time to wait for Li Jiqian's army to break through the valley, and I can't press all my belongings on it." ”

Zhang Yuandao: "This is like a sentence, it is a good idea to knock down the north and south of the army led by Li, remember, Su Jin's words can't be listened to, he is a Song person, and he is not a good person." ”

"Yes, yes, I remember." The fine mother Weiming didn't think so, and she could only agree.

The strangulation on the battlefield has reached a white-hot stage, and the whole battlefield is like a meat grinder, with good men and horses entering, and after a while, they will fall apart.

The combat power of the Liao soldiers is obviously higher than that of the Xia soldiers, and the single soldiers are basically killed by the Xia soldiers, and the Xia army uses the rampage of the heavy cavalry of the Iron Harrier Army to move back to a slight disadvantage, and the Iron Harrier Army is almost incomprehensible, unless it is a dozen or so soldiers who grab the heavy cavalry and the people and horses at the same time and overturn them to the ground so that they can't get up, otherwise they have no regrets at all; But how could the Xia army give them such an opportunity, in addition to the mutual cooperation between the heavy cavalry, the ordinary cavalry of the Xia army also coordinated to protect them.

The number of dead and wounded on both sides has exceeded 15,000, the Liao army has more than 7,000 dead and wounded, and the Xia army has more than 8,000 dead and wounded.

The turning point of the battle appeared two hours later, the Liao army and the cavalry of the rear army in the valley mouth were finally annihilated by Li Jiqian due to the huge disadvantage of numbers and the cramped terrain, the grain cart and baggage were overturned under the mountain wall on the side of the valley, and the corpses all over the ground were also cleared out of a passage, and Li Jiqian led the men and horses to finally kill out of the valley.

With the addition of the continuous blowout of the cavalry of Kedun City, the already tense nerves of the Liao army were straightened, and then the three horns in the northwest sounded in succession, and the 40,000 fresh troops hidden by the fine mother also joined the battlefield like a tide; The huge disparity in numbers made the Liao people's only remaining fighting spirit disappear, and the tense nerves were cut off by a sharp blade, and they suddenly lost their momentum, and they no longer had the desire to fight.

Xiao Hui looked up to the sky and sighed, knowing that there was no chance of winning this battle, the generals on the left and right came together, and Xiao Hui broke through to the northeast, under the desperate rush of the five thousand elite palace tent army guards, Xiao Hui and others fought a bloody road and fled in a hurry, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the Xia army did not chase after it, but concentrated on closing the encirclement and killing all the remaining Liao soldiers who resisted.

The 200,000 troops on both sides fought fiercely for two hours, and finally ended in a great victory for the Xia army; After two surprise battles in the afternoon and evening, only 4,000 of the 60,000 Liao forward troops escaped, 56,000 Liao soldiers were annihilated, more than 120 generals were killed, and countless food, baggage, siege machinery, weapons and armor were captured; None of the more than 50,000 Liao soldiers survived, and all of them were killed in the wilderness; The ground within a three-mile radius of the entire battlefield was covered with rivers of blood, and the cold wind blew, freezing a thick layer of red blood ice.

The Xia people were not willing to rest, all the ears of the Liao soldiers who died were cut off and packed with dozens of sacks, and ordered people to go north overnight, discarded on the way of the follow-up troops of the Liao army, wrote insulting words and sentences, and ridiculed Liao Xingzong Yelu Zong Zhen said: The distinguished guests of the Liao State came to my Great Xia as a guest, the national strength of the Great Xia was weak, the land was barren, and there was nothing to treat the distinguished guests.

……

There were dozens of bags of bloody 'delicious pig ears' in front of the big tent of Liaoxing Sect Yelu Sect, and the generals who came in and out of the golden tent all looked sideways, covered their noses and frowned, and their hearts palpitated.

Everyone rushed over from their respective ranks, and was originally marching south, when they suddenly received a military order requiring all to camp on the spot, and the general returned to the Chinese army to discuss the matter, and everyone couldn't guess what happened at first, but after seeing dozens of sacks frozen into jelly-like human ears, everyone vaguely guessed something.

In the golden tent, the emperor sat behind the big case with a white face, and another bloodstained person was kneeling in front of him and crying, the military generals couldn't see who that person was, and when the man raised his head and brushed off the long hair that was scattered and showed his face, everyone was stunned, this person was Xiao Hui, the king of South Korea, who has always been known for his fortitude and bravery, people who are familiar with him have never seen him cry in pain like this, Xiao Hui is neatly dressed on weekdays, his waist is straight, his speech is crisp and neat, and he has a sense of arrogance all over his body. Today, it turned out to be like this.

"Xiao Qing's family, get up, I ...... I know, left and right, take Xiao Aiqing to the side tent to wash and bathe. There was a deep disappointment in Yelu Zongzhen's voice.

Xiao Hui wiped away his tears, thanked him, and followed the waiter out of the tent, Yelu Zongzhen looked at Xiao Hui's rickety back, sighed, and was stunned.
