The drums of war rang out with the raised right arm of the planter, and the order to go to war spread throughout the army.

With a choking sound, Ye Xiaoma pulled out the long knife on his waist. This is the reward he received when he went to Beijing to meet Zhao Ji after he surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, along with the set of golden armor on his body and the horn bow behind the saddle, all of which belonged to the imperial gift. Although the golden armor was heavy and abnormal, it was not suitable for battle, but Ye Xiaoma and Renduo Lingding were all put on.

Holding the waist knife, Ye Xiaoma and Ren Duo Lingding saluted the seed man, and then ran to the left and right armies, where there were their sons. They will command the sons of the clan to rush to the battle formation of the Liao.

The drums of war cracked through the clouds, and the battle had begun.

The rangers at the front were against the rangers sent by the Liao. Dozens of cavalry wandered between the two armies of the confrontation. As the horses staggered, they exchanged blades, maces, and arrows.

Whether it is the cavalry of the Song army, the Liao army, or the Dangxiang people, they all wear half-body cuirasses from the ordnance supervisor, and if it were not for the different styles and colors of the outer robes outside the armor, it would be impossible to tell which side they belonged to.

Chong Jianzhong held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at the confrontation in the center of the battlefield. The clairvoyant mirror was given by Han Gang, not issued by the Privy Council, and through the lens, the look of the cultivator became more and more ugly.

"It's just a subordinate army." put down the clairvoyant mirror, and Zhong Jianzhong sighed.

Obviously, the combat effectiveness of the Liao cavalry was above that of the Song army and the Dangxiang army, and the number of both sides was comparable at first, but except for the first round of fighting, the Liao people were shot down by the Song army's heavy crossbows that had been wound well, and then several times of hedging, the Liao army that fell off the horse was far less than the Great Song and Dangxiang coalition forces.

"Even if it is the head of the army, the riders who are taken out now will not lose to the top candidates in the palace division army and the leather room army." The expression of the seed is unwavering, the combat power of the individual does not say anything, and the overall strength is the decisive factor in victory or defeat.

He didn't intend to make things happen because of people. The party members still lost one percent of the strength of the Liao army on the other side, but it was different with the elite under him. After winning the game, Ye Xiaoma and Ren Duo dared to turn their faces. No matter how much they want to stand on their own, now that they have offended Yelu Yixin to death, and then offended the Great Song Dynasty, the next thing is the second battle of the summer. The armies of Song and Liao will rush to Xingling's side. There is only one dead end.

The sound of war drums on the opposite side passed through the not very wide battlefield and reached the ears of the seeders.

"The Liao people moved."

On the distant horizon, the dark line composed of thousands of troops and horses became undulating like a sudden wave. The sound of the waves came from the ground, and tens of millions of cavalry began to rush forward to the sound of drums and trumpets.

Both sides were dominated by cavalry. The Liao people, who have absolute confidence in this, will choose a decisive battle, instead of the usual tactics of delaying and harassing the throat after the most deferred.

The Liao people are also thinking about a quick victory. Before the Great Song infantry did not catch up, they had to defeat Chong Yu and his cavalry first, otherwise the Song people would cooperate with the infantry and cavalry, and the various clans in the Xingling region would not have any chance of victory.

Chong Ge looked at his nephew, Chong Jianzhong bowed his head, saluted, put his helmet in order, and turned his horse back to his place. Two commanding elite cavalry were behind him, waiting for the most rearly orders.

Ren Duo Ling Ding rushed back to the left army array with a team of personal soldiers.

The 30,000 Liao army is not all the troops that the Liao people can mobilize in the land of Xingling, and it should be another 35,000. And the Dangxiang army could also squeeze out another five or six thousand cavalry, but in order to guard against the partial divisions that the Liao army would inevitably prepare, they had to be arranged on several strongholds on the periphery of the battlefield.

At the time of the New Year's Festival, that is, a few days ago, the leader of the army rushed to the mouth of Qingtongxia and met the party army led by the Ye family and the Renjia family. This greatly surprised Ye Pola and Ren Duo Lingding. And what was even more unexpected was that he personally entered the account, and persuaded Ren Duo Lingding and Ye Xiaoma to obey the order, and the two sides joined forces to attack the Liao.

Together, the land of Xingling is now occupied by the Liao people, and the seed and Ren Duo Lingding and Ye Po Ma have a common goal.

For Renduo Lingding, the Liao people came back too quickly, and they occupied the city, although the two sides were not far apart in terms of strength, but Renduo Lingding knew that he could not delay with the Liao.

Even if there will be disputes afterwards, what can you do if you only have two or three thousand cavalry at hand? And if this battle is won under the command of Chong Ge, it can be said that it can be said on the scene, at least there will be a way out for the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is only half of it.

Returning to his own army, Rinda Baozhong came to the front of Rindo Zero.

Ren Duo Lingding looked at his nephew who was tidy, and instructed with concern: "Be careful, don't let the sons and daughters of the family suffer too many casualties." ”

"I know it."

"But you have to win first. If you lose, it's over. ”

"Nephew understands!" Nito's answer was even firmer.

The rhythm of the war drums from the Chinese army increased, and after the Chinese army, the Liao army opposite Renjia also began to charge.

"The big handsome is urging." Renduo Lingding glanced at the handsome banner standing tall in the Central Military Department with a sneer, turned around and handed his waist knife to his nephew, "Go, don't delay!" ”

Rindo Baozhong took the waist knife and raised it high, and the response of the sons and daughters of the clan was like a roar in the mountains. Then he lifted the reins and turned, and led the way towards the enemy.

Thousands of troops rushed to the center of the battlefield.

It's time to get started.

This belated decisive battle.

……………………

The tension between Song and Liao spread from the northwest to Beijing, and from Beijing to Hebei.

Even around the New Year's Festival, the garrison on the front line of northern Xinjiang could not be relaxed at all.

However, the Guangxin Army's side was a big open school, and under the review of Li Xin, the military and the people were test-firing, and the army and the people enjoyed together, and the atmosphere of the New Year was not diluted at all because of the tense situation.

The Guangxin Army was located in the northeast corner of Baozhou - the west side of Baozhou is Dingzhou - in fact, it was a military stronghold divided from Baozhou, and there was only the only fortress in Suicheng. Tongliang Gate and Tiesui City are the places where the famous generals Yang Yanzhao and Yang Liulang were stationed.

The northern boundary of the Guangxin Army, from Baozhou Wubo to the mouth of the Ansu Army Great Wall, a total of 50 miles wide, according to the "Wujing General Essentials": "Now the north is the key point, outside the pond water, from the Baozhou side Wubo west from the mouth of the Great Wall, the vast 50 li, can drive deep for a long time, is the place where China and the Xiongnu must fight". It is the largest and most dangerous gap in Hebei's more than 1,000-mile Tangbo defense line.

It is precisely because of this gap that the Guangxin Army will be divided. Become an independent military division.

Li Xin served in the Guangxin Army with the jurisdiction of the Emperor, which can be regarded as a high position and a low match. The Guangxin Army Zhijun should also be the post of capital inspection, and there is a capital supervisor in the capital inspection, and the capital supervisor is above the jurisdiction. This is mainly due to Li Xin's shallow qualifications. His Jilu official is the envoy of the seventh grade, and there is also a title of Yaojun Thorn History, and the leading generals with a higher rank than him on the top of his head are thirty or fifty people. If it was during the Great War, it would not be too much to hold a higher position, but it is a pity that in the peaceful years of Hebei for several decades, there are many people waiting for the better ones, and foreign generals cannot be inserted at all.

Even though Li Xin had made outstanding achievements in southern Xinjiang, he could only be demoted to two ranks as an official when he was appointed in Hebei. However, in the past two years, he has performed very prominently, smoothly integrated into the Hebei Forbidden Army, and some time ago he was specially reduced by two years of grinding because of the training of soldiers.

Previously, the defenders of the Guangxin Army had completed the review, and Li Xin also awarded the reward, and more than 3,000 soldiers scattered around the school according to their respective commands.

Only the Xuanfeng army that Li Xin had cultivated was still guarding the stage of the generals, standing quietly with their guns in their hands. These are 400 men selected from the 6,000 generals under his command. All of them are good at throwing and running, brave and brave soldiers. In particular, they all obtained the flying spear technique passed down by Li Xin himself, and they were brave enough to win the three armies.

In the school yard, a long rope was pulled between two wooden stakes at this time, and several silk threads hung down from the long rope. The silk thread is tied to a coin with an outer circle and an inner square, but the texture and weight of the coin are different, ranging from silver coins of about half a tael to ordinary iron coins.

This is a silver test shot, different bounties, the foothold of the test shot is not the same, the farther away it is, the more valuable it is. One by one, the soldiers and the onlookers took turns, and took their bows to shoot the coins on the thread.

Whoever can shoot a coin hanging from the silk thread belongs to the archer. Iron coins are only ten paces apart, and silver coins are thirty paces away.

And Li Xin coached the javelin in addition to the hanging silver test shot. Whoever can use a javelin to throw a silver plate more than a dozen feet away from the field will be able to carry a silver plate of higher value home.

The method of military training handed down from the Shiheng made the soldiers of Qingjian City famous for their good shooting. It also allowed the Hebei soldiers under Li Xin to regain their old prestige within two years. Not only the soldiers under his command, after Li Xin took office, he spared no effort to implement the armor protection law, and the people under his rule were also good at bows, arrows and spears.

A burst of cheers rang out, and a seven-foot-tall man was proudly raising his longbow in the crowd. He looks tall and strong, but his face is very young, but he looks like he is in his twenties.

"Good archery." Following Li Xin, several generals on the platform also clapped their hands and applauded. The tall young man had shot five silver coins in a row, and he had stabbed three of the five silver plates with his javelin. I swept away a dozen taels of silver, and when I counted the money, there were thirty or forty yuan. Ordinary forbidden army soldiers can't get so much in a year.

"Today's leader should be Xiao Yi." Li Xin turned his head sideways to a veteran who was smiling and praised, "Ling Lang is really extraordinary. ”

A military academy hurriedly went up to the high platform at this time and attached it to Li Xin's ear: "Jurisdiction, someone from the north has come to report that the Liao army from the Xijin Mansion has gone south to Yizhou." ”

The atmosphere on the high platform suddenly became tense, and Li Xin did not move: "How many people?!" ”

"Three thousand to five thousand. Maybe it's really going to be a big deal. ”

Li Xin'an sat down, "You go and tell Mr. Zhang and ask him to draft an urgent report to Guo Shuai." Then send a message to Song Xian and ask him to continue staring at the north. ”

Turning around, he calmly said to the generals: "It doesn't matter, let's continue." ”
