Two days after crossing the border, the Liao army, which had invaded the territory of the Guangxin Army, had already swept all the villages outside Suicheng, but as soon as the 6,000 soldiers and horses in the forward army, as the main force, crossed the border, they directly pressed outside Suicheng and stationed in the nearest village to the east of the north of the city, suppressing the defenders in the city from afar.

The two main generals, Xiao Di Gulie and Yelu Bodhisattva Bao, have been resting in the small village for two days, even if they don't go to the grass valley, the people below will not lose the benefits around them, but the blood in the bodies of the two is already restless, and they can't wait to replace their subordinates in the territory of the Song people to burn and loot. But the strict orders from Yelu Yixin made them dare not disobey less.

On this day, the drums sounded loudly in the city, and the Liao army outside the city was like a startled flying insect, and immediately became active.

Xiao Di Gulie and Yelu Bodhisattva Bao also immediately came out of the village where they had set up camp—the nearest village to Suicheng in the north, only four miles—and led their troops to Suicheng, looking at the city with a clairvoyant mirror.

The clairvoyant mirror was also popularized in the hands of the Khitan high-level generals, even though the clairvoyant mirror that was handed down from the Song State was as low as five or six hundred, but few people would save money on this matter. Ben didn't plan to attack the city, and the cumbersome spaceship didn't bring it, but both of them had one in their hands.

"Finally ready to come out?"

"I guess I want to raise morale."

"Will there be reinforcements?"

"None of the horses were rewarded. This Ma Pingchuan, after the large Song army came out, could it still hide from people? ”

Xiao Di Gulie and Yelu Bodhisattva exchanged ideas one by one. In the binoculars of the two people, the city gate of Suicheng was opened, and two columns of Song cavalry with spears in armor rushed out of the city gate, crossed the drawbridge, and lined up on the official road outside the moat.

Suicheng is considered a military city, and there are no residential settlements outside the city, and the nearest village is also three miles away. There are not even larger trees within a mile, only on the official road, and there are some restaurants and pavilions, but they have been burned clean. There's plenty of room to set up.

"Two conductors, stand neatly." Yelu Bodhisattva Bao laughed. Those cavalry, which were part of the formation, should also be the role of protecting the fragile army in the formation. It's just that in his eyes, it's really not worth mentioning.

Xiao Di Gu Lie also snorted disdainfully: "It's just neat." It's a good one, and half of the family will be there. ”

"Okay, that's easy to say." Yelu Bodhisattva promised. When he hadn't yet invaded the Song Realm, he was still worried, but now he didn't have the slightest worry. The army he was in went very smoothly, the front ones had already entered Baozhou, and no Song army was seen fighting, and no one came out to intercept it on the border, where would the Song army be put in his eyes? Both of them have participated in many wars against rebellions in the country, from female straight people to divination blockers, and none of them are easy to deal with.

In the face of the Song army that went to war, Xiao Enemy Gu Lie and Yelu Bodhisattva Bao put their sights on the city. If the city's defenses were a little lax, they would try to see if they could take the opportunity to rush into the city, but unfortunately, the divine arm bows and extremely conspicuous eight-bull crossbows gathered on the city made the two of them dare not take risks.

Immediately after the cavalry, there were foot soldiers. The upper and lower bodies were dressed in snow-shiny iron armor, covering their faces, holding spears and bows, which were also divided into two parts, and stood in a formation outside the two cavalry.

"It's glamorous!" Yelu Bodhisattva Bao grunted, dismissive of Song Jun, but extremely red at their equipment.

"Who's the one who is in battle?" Xiao Enemy Gu Lie wanted to know who would lead the army out of the battle. The wings appear to have stood, leaving only the central gap.

At this moment, a large crimson banner slowly moved out of the city, the flag was blood-red, and the edge was inlaid with a black border. The word 'Li' in a large black seal script is embroidered in the center of the flag, and under the banner are more than a dozen cavalry and a group of foot soldiers.

There was a little commotion in the Liao army, and it was naturally not the generals at the bottom who could use this big face.

"Heh, it was Li Chan who came out in person." Yelu Bodhisattva Bao widened his eyes and sighed, then turned around and smiled: "Medicine slave, the cousin of your master's disciple is out!" ”

Xiao Enemy Gu Lie, who was nicknamed Medicine Master Slave, immediately returned and laughed back: "Bodhisattva Bao, aren't you relying on that cousin of Li Zhan to bless you?" I don't know if I can fight against Li Xuan, will people still protect you? ”

"Myrrh bodhisattvas, there are also Manjushri, Guanyin, and the bodhisattvas of the Great Trend. But pharmacist, you're a son of a family! ”

"Don't you hear that the Bodhisattvas are all related? If you offend the Bodhisattva on the medicine, how can Manjushri and Guanyin still protect you? ”

The two glanced at each other, but they laughed loudly.

Xiao Di Gu Lie Da Lu smiled and looked back left and right, "Did you say that?" ”

There was silence all around, and after a few moments, the hoarse laughter that rattled like ducks began one after the other. The generals and the soldiers on the sides of the two knew that they wanted to flatter, but they couldn't laugh, but they didn't dare not laugh, so they could only squeeze out a smile from their faces.

Han Gang in the Liao people word of mouth, is the medicine master Liuli Guang Rulai, that is, the medicine master of the Buddha of the seat of the seat of the medicine Bodhisattva reincarnation, with the promotion of the pox method in the Liao country, the Liao people who believe in Buddhism have many people respectfully called him a Han Bodhisattva.

Xiao Enemy Gu Lie, nicknamed Medicine Master Slave, and Yelu Bodhisattva Bao directly used the nickname as a big name. Liao people believe in Buddhism, medicine slaves, Bodhisattva slaves, Buddha slaves, Guanyin slaves, Bodhisattva Bao, Guanyin Bao, these are the most common names in the Liao country, there are many small names, and there are many big names, even in the officialdom, there are many cases of collision with names.

Xiao Enemy Gu Lie, Yelu Bodhisattva Bao laughed at the folk rumors, and the respect was not half a point, but it was more of a joke, so naturally he didn't care about Li Xin. The arrogance of the Khitan has always been like this, and they don't care about the generals of the Southern Dynasty at all, especially in the past few years, they forced the Song people to cede the land. The fall of the six states of Xiping only confirmed that Yelu Yuli was a fool, and the local leaders and subordinates were all wastes. It's just that the people below don't cooperate, and compared to the nobles at the top, the people with lower status are more devout to Buddhism and more in awe of Han Gang.

It was boring, and Yelu smacked his lips. Looking at the row of Song troops still hugging the city, he sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that Li Xin is as timid as a partridge, and he has gone to war, so why do you let so many people stay in the city?" ”

"Naturally, it's because I don't have the guts!" Xiao Di Gu Lie was disdainful in his heart, and after laughing a few times, his face turned cold, and he asked fiercely: "Do you want to kill him?!" ”

Yelu Bodhisattva shook his head, "Let's wait." Now that Li Xin is out of the battle, he shouldn't pretend to retract. ”

"Be steady, chief, don't underestimate that Li Xin." Behind the two of them was the soldier and horse supervisor of Yizhou, "Li Xin has been a general for many years, fighting in the south and the north, Shaanxi, Jingnan, Guangxi, Hebei, Tiannan, and the north have all guarded it. He has fought dozens of battles and killed thousands of people, and he is not an ordinary character. ”

Xiao Di Gu Lie immediately snorted coldly: "Thinking about that Li Xin, the people who fought and killed were just some barbarians like pigs and dogs, but there is anyone who can compare to my Khitan man?!" ”

"You can let the southerners bully, where can I compare to my big Khitan!"

"Your toes can't compare!"

Everyone laughed and agreed, and finally stopped being cold. Yizhou's lips moved, and he didn't say anything more.

There were only more than 300 people who followed Da Xu and Li Xintong, but they were all tall and majestic, standing in the most central position, and their momentum was overwhelming the cavalry and foot soldiers with more people on both wings.

When this group of people came out of the battle, there were no soldiers behind, and the last thing to come out was a drum cart, which was pushed slowly out of the city gate by a dozen people. As soon as you leave the city gate, the slow rhythm of the drums immediately spreads throughout the four fields.

The drums did not stop, and the drum cart did not stop, and as the drum cart drove onto the suspension bridge, the Song army formation that had just stood down began to advance.

The horses carried the reins and advanced in small steps, while the infantry marched forward step by step to the beat of the drum.

The sound of footsteps and drums converge in one place, and there is no trace of chaos, and every step shakes the hearts of onlookers. It took more than 100 steps from the Hao River before it stopped.

The two main generals of the Liao army still had a disdainful smile at first, but as the Song army's military formation moved, the smile gradually subsided. After reaching the end of the day, the Song army that went out of the city moved forward a hundred steps without being chaotic, and the faces of Xiao Di Gu Lie and Yelu Bodhisattva Bao all changed.

The art of war is cloudy, the military formation is angry, and the strength can be known by the hope. Yelu Bodhisattva and the slave naturally don't know much about the method of looking at qi, but it is clear whether they can fight it at a glance.

The formation is simple, but after the formation, the formation is maintained in the advance and retreat, and the difficulty will be doubled. Even though Xiao Di Gulie and Yelu Bodhisattva Bao had never eaten pork, they had seen pigs run. Ten steps and one stop, twenty steps and a whole column, it is impossible for a normal infantry array to walk forward more than a hundred steps in one breath.

The total number of Song troops who came out of the battle was only 1,56, but these 1,56 were definitely elite. The army marched like a mountain, slowly pressing over, and even giving people a feeling of being out of breath.

"To fight or not?" Yelu Bodhisattva said in a low voice.

The position of the Song army's military formation had already crossed the protection range of the defenders in the city. Except for the Eight Bull Crossbow, even the Divine Arm Bow can't hurt people at this distance. The Song army took the initiative to get out of the protection on the city wall, and it seemed that they wanted to fight a battle in a dignified manner, and it was reasonable to say that they couldn't do it here

Xiao Di Gu Lie hesitated. Arrays without fighting were the practice of the Khitan against the Song army. Self-esteem or something, not on them at all. The one who hit the stone and the stump was a desperate rabbit, not a descendant of the Eight Tribes of Green Ox and White Horse.

But the Song army on the opposite side made another move at this time, and a rider behind the formation got off his horse, passed through the military formation in front, and went straight to the front of the formation. The blood-red Daxu followed behind him, also from behind the formation to in front of the formation. On the other side of the rider, followed by a tall pawn carrying a bundle of javelins, he followed suit.

When the rider stood still in front of the formation, the flag officer who was behind him was rammed into the earth with all his strength, and the flag hunted with the wind, and the word "Li" flew in the big fight, and there was a sudden cheer on the head of the city, and even the drums suddenly became much higher-pitched.

The Liao army was silent, and Xiao Di Gu Lie and Yelu Bodhisattva Bao had cold faces, and the rider with the golden helmet and armor died. The Yizhou soldiers and horses were all overseers and whispered: "That's Li Xin, the lord of the city!" ”
