[Today's first update.] There is also a shift around noon. ]

The appearance of the Song army was completely unexpected by the Liao army.

Whether Daizhou City was captured by the Song army, Ulu now has no time to guess, and even when he has time to react, thousands of arrows came out of the string and rushed straight at him.

Ulu, who was at the forefront, couldn't see the movements of the Song people at all, but as the sound of the strings came into his ears along with the sound of the wind and the sound of the horn, he immediately turned over and dismounted, took off the small shield behind the saddle, and protected the whole person in front of his mount. Whole. The action is like a cloud of peers, without the slightest delay.

The head and chest were hidden behind a small light shield, but the exposed legs and feet still felt a few blows, the feeling was very slight at first, but in the blink of an eye, a sharp pain flashed through the whole body.

Uru breathed a sigh of relief, the war horse behind him was not hit by an arrow, and was breathing steadily, spraying hot air on the back of his neck.

The spare war horse is behind, and it is too late to change at this time. You must keep your current mount from heavy damage, so that you can still run away even if you get two arrows in the upper echelon. If it is the other way around, it is to give a small life to the Song people.

The vast majority of the Liao soldiers reacted in time, just like Ulu, and used their bodies to protect their horses.

After the rain of arrows, many people were glad that the force of the arrows was less than expected, so that none of them were too badly damaged.

However, no one dared to rest assured, they still held their shields and waited for them, they were used to the Song army taking out three or four divine arm bows at a time, and then shooting three or four waves of arrows in a very short period of time.

But instead of waiting for more rain of arrows, they were filled with dense footsteps and frantic shouts.

Ulu's face turned pale, and he looked back at his own family members who were blocked behind him, and he was in chaos, and he couldn't retreat at all at this time. It's too late to even clean up the mess.

One hundred and thirty or forty paces apart, even if it was a divine arm bow, it could only cause chaos in the front army of the Liao army, and could not give greater damage. But this confusion completely stifled the possibility of a counterattack by the Liao army, and also allowed the soldiers of the Song army to take advantage of this opportunity to kill them.

Han Zhongxin's footsteps were heavy, and he rushed to the front with a long knife, Qin Wan commanded the whole army, and his deputy wanted to set an example for the whole army. More than 100 steps passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, he had already led hundreds of soldiers into the enemy formation.

Rushing towards the front enemy, the long-barreled knife slashed down in an arc of light. The power of Qianjun broke through the wind, and the momentum was vicious, and it seemed to be able to divide the men and horses in two, but this blow was steadily blocked by a wooden shield.

The knife that slashed on the wooden shield gathered all the strength of Han Zhongxin's body, and did not split the wooden shield, but made the enemy's legs and feet behind the wooden shield weak, and he was half-kneeling on the ground.

Han Zhongxin reacted very quickly, and slashed the enemy's neck with another knife, but was blocked by the shield again. The force of the shock was so strong that Han Zhongxin couldn't help but take half a step back.

He's a strong player!

The thought flashed, and Han Zhongxin became even more excited. Just as he was about to swing his sword again, the two cronies behind him had already rushed forward left and right, swinging their knives left and right, and slashing the enemy to the ground with a single blow.

Han Zhongxin did not hesitate, kicked away the enemy who was in the way, and immediately went deep into the enemy army.

The Liao army had already dropped all the torches on the ground at the moment of the rain of arrows, and as the torches gradually went out, the battle began in the dark. The distant firelight around only further deepened the contrast between light and dark, and was not enough to illuminate an inch of ground beneath our feet.

There was no light around him, but Han Zhongxin's eyes had gradually adapted to such darkness. As he advanced deeper into the enemy ranks, he had fewer and fewer companions behind him.

Fighting in the dark has no time to distinguish between friend and foe. But most people didn't know this at first, and they would always shout twice when they saw the swaying figure in front of them, but the lesson of blood soon taught them how to protect themselves.

When there was a sound, the backlash from the knife made the hand numb, and the fleeting spark was not the feeling of slashing on the iron armor, but a phenomenon that only existed after the two knives clashed.

With a twist of his wrist, the long knife immediately slashed towards the lower part of the sword, and a scream sounded in front of him, and the feeling of the blade entering the flesh made Han Zhongxin breathe a sigh of relief, and the blood that burst into his face seemed to be sweeter than nectar.

The shouting could no longer distinguish whether it was official or Khitan, anyway, no one could tell the confusion in his ears, and no one could analyze it calmly. A moment of distraction is likely to be the dividing line between life and death.

It's just that because they are retreating, basically all the Liao soldiers are not wearing armor. It is only by this that we can tell which side the person in front of you belongs to.

The indiscriminate killing in the darkness didn't last long.

The battle ended quickly.

Most of the Liao troops in the rear had already fled separately on horseback, like mosquitoes and flies that had been scattered, scattered into the wilderness at night. The rest is too late to leave, in fact, there are not many left.

Most of the good meat in the mouth ran away, which made Han Zhongxin sigh. It was only the suspicious soldiers placed on the two flanks, and it was really too late to intercept the enemy troops fleeing from all directions. Wheezing and standing on the road with a sword, only the Song soldiers wearing armor were left around, and the Liao army, except for those lying on the ground, was no longer left.

A little firelight came from behind, swaying rhythmically, and Qin Wan's voice sounded, "Shoude, hard work." ”

"I can't imagine it's over, I haven't killed enough."

On Han Zhongxin's armor, thick blood was flowing downward, and his face was splashed with blood like a demon, but his white teeth glistened in the firelight as he grinned.

"The thief's journey can be regarded as scaring away, although the capture is not much, but it is reasonable." Qin Wan said with a smile, "The Liao army is already a frightened bird, and in the battle of Fang Cai, it did not organize a decent counterattack at all, but chose to flee. It can be seen that his courage has been lost, and there is no need to worry. ”

"Liao thieves shouldn't have chosen to retreat at night. If you withdraw during the day, you will never be frightened by our people. ”

"The day before yesterday, thirty or fifty thousand troops were brought in one day and one night, and today is another day, and now there must be seventy or eighty thousand. How can you not run away? Even the cavalry must have more than 10,000, no less than the Liao thieves. ”

Several commanders and envoys around him were excitedly discussing the current military situation.

Han Zhongxin, as Han Gang's cronies, of course knows that this is all nonsense. The officers and soldiers below all thought that as long as there was a track, there would be infantry and cavalry, but Han Zhongxin knew that there could be no more support from the imperial court. The Liao people must have similar thoughts to him.

30,000 a day, and after five or six days, it's 15.2 million. Lined up, you can line up from the big and small wangzhuang to the city of Daizhou. If there were so many soldiers, they would be able to transport them. It is a pity that a large part of the grain received by Hedong is used as remuneration for work, which is also the guarantee that the track can be built quickly, and it is also the need to stabilize the rear.

After removing the food of the people, it is already a miracle that he can afford to raise the current army of fifty or sixty thousand. Don't talk about an army of 350,000, add an army of 10,000 infantry, and you can only go hungry.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be only so many people here to pursue the fleeing thieves.

Han Zhongxin didn't know what to do, just dozens of miles away, he had already captured the main force of the big and small Wangzhuang, and was launching a larger-scale pursuit.

As the night grew brighter, the Liao army, which had not closed its eyes all night, was completely exposed to the sight of the Song army, who had nourished their spirits.

Capturing the undefended main camp of the enemy army did not add much to the results, but it made the Song army's thirst for merit even stronger.

The Liao army withdrew its troops in three routes, and the middle route army, which was evacuated from the official road, was pursued the most fiercely.

The soldiers and horses of the North Road were frightened by Qin Wan and Han Zhongxin, and they did not dare to move forward after scattering and fleeing, except for a small number of scattered without a trace, the rest were changed to move closer to the Chinese army.

It was not only the defeated army that fled back, but also brought chaos to the retreating troops in the middle.

Except for the first few soldiers and horses to leave, the rest were all blocked in the middle of the road. The cavalry of the Song army was bitten, and watched the Song army's infantry slowly approach.

Along the way, corpses were everywhere, and everywhere you could see the war horses that had lost their owners standing alone in the field.

Yerodonin looked back at the tragic battle on the other side of the river, and rejoiced in his heart.

Before, he was told by Xiao Shisanqian to cross the river in time and go back on the southern route, but now he finally knew that Xiao Shisandao was not such a stupid commander, but the opponent was a little too strong.

It is actually forty miles back to Daizhou City from Daxiaowangzhuang, but it is difficult to travel at night, and the speed is not fast. Now that it's dawn, you can rush back at a faster pace.

As the sun gradually rose, the superiority of the Song army in terms of strength became more apparent. Completely lost the organization, and the scattered Liao army became a pastry on the dinner plate, and one by one it was swallowed up.

"How many escaped into Daizhou City?"

"There should be a large number of people who will not choose to return to Daizhou, but should go to Fanzhi County. Didn't those fallen captives say, Xiao 13 and Yelu Daoning"

"It's a pity that there are too few cavalry. A little more, and you'll be able to complain about them. ”

Fanzhi County is the Flying Fox, leading to Nanjing Road. Since Daizhou City is definitely the main direction of attack of the Song army, it is the smartest choice to avoid Fanzhi County. At least you can get reinforcements from Nanjing Road, and it is also convenient to retreat. But Daizhou and Yanmen are different, not only do they have to defend to the death, but they may even suffer from the enemy because of the Linfu army in Shenwu County.

But many people guessed wrong. Through the confirmation of prisoners and scouts, the vast majority of the Liao army chose to return to Daizhou City and Yanmen instead of going to Fanzhi County.

"Maybe it's because Yelu Yixin is in Nanking Road."

"Are you afraid of hitting Father Shang's anger?"

"I guess I'm thinking about the loot. I am afraid of being robbed by the soldiers and horses of Nanjing Road. ”

"What do you think of the privy?"

Several staff members speculated the reason with ridicule, and asked Han Gang's opinion again.

"Maybe both." Han Gang's tone was calm.

Whatever the reason, Daizhou City is now in front of you.

On the same day, Jiang Rong, the lieutenant envoy who had been sent to the army, came to Han Gang again.

"The two sides have ...... to strike troops" Han Gang looked up at the big banner at the head of Daizhou City that was shaking weakly in the wind, "Does the imperial court want a truce in Hedong?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Rong lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Han Gang, "Truce the army." ”
