Twenty-eight. Horizontal knife immediately
February 13th, Bingchen.
The sky is about to dawn, and the battlefield gradually calms down. The glow first appeared in the sky, like the blood of thousands of people soaring into the sky, making the eastern clouds steam and enchanting.
The earth is dozens of miles in the western suburbs of Bianliang City, and the corpses are everywhere. More than 20,000 people were killed and injured in the Huanzhou army, nearly 30,000 people were killed by the iron riders of Liao, and almost all the troops were destroyed.
Both sides were seriously injured. The Liao army retreated more than 80 miles, and the remnants were located in the area of Zhongmu Baisha Town.
On the 16th, I haven't done it.
The Huanzhou army launched an attack on Zhongmou and Baisha towns for three consecutive days. Yang Wenguang rushed into the enemy's front, hit several arrows, and captured Brother Xiao, the general of the Bohai Sea.
Mu Yunhan picked 30 generals of the Liao Dynasty with a gun. He was brave and fierce. He went deep into the Liaoning army's company camp for more than ten miles, as if he had entered no one's land.
Di Ning was ordered to defend the Changbanqiao and fought against the three fierce generals of Liaoning. The left-led general Ye Luxun, the small general of the Chihai Department, Gao Ba, and Hengzhang Lang Jun Legu. The two sides fought for more than 60 rounds, and there was no victory or defeat.
Half a day later, the whole line of the Liao army retreated and looked forward to Zhengzhou Yuanwu.
On the 17th, Geng Shen.
Yuan Wu fell, and Yelu Dehua, the crown prince of Liao, secretly sent a man disguised as a people of the Song Dynasty and went south to assassinate Zhao Ze.
It rained on the 19th, Renxu.
Zhao Ze led the army to attack Yangqiao. When he was watching the northern battlefield on the bank of the Yellow River, he was shot and injured by a streamer. More than a dozen assassins were killed, but none of them escaped. The captured assassins were seriously injured. Because he could not stand the severe torture, Zhang Zai ordered him to be detained first and punished after being cured.
21st, Jiazi.
The Liao army put more than ten lines of defense on the north bank of the Yellow River, blocking the Huanzhou Army from going north. The two sides fought for three days and injured more than 10,000 people.
Twenty-three days, Bing Yin.
The Huanzhou army entered Yangqiao Town to build fortifications on the spot and confronted the Liao army across the river.
Half a month later,
At the end of the decisive battle between Song and Liao in Kaidefu, the Liao army broke through Weinan County, the last line of defense of the Song army after paying more than 200,000 people, and the soldiers and horses of Qin Wang on the 25th road of the Song Dynasty collapsed. The northern door of the Song Dynasty was opened, and there was no natural danger to guard.
March 5th, Jingchong, Ding Chou.
Empress Cao ordered all the northern troops to withdraw to the south of the Yellow River and defend along the river.
Seven days, Ji Mao.
Su Su's three airships arrived over Yangqiao Town, Zhengzhou, bringing a batch of arms. Zhao Ze appeared in front of Su Su with a bandage and told her with a wry smile.
Su Su comforted: "At this point, we can only take one step at a time. This time I have transported 500,000 rounds of projectiles, 1,000 catties of explosives, 100 shoulder-resistant rocket launchers, a long-range artillery, and 30 boxes of ammunition. I hope I can help you defend Bianliang!"
Zhao Ze replied, "I hope so. The offensive of the Liao army is very fierce. The military weapons we made in the past few years have all been given to Fan Zhongyan, and he has not been able to hold back the Liao army. I think this batch of arms is also a drop in the bucket, just enough to protect himself!"
Su Su sighed, "Anyway, this is the limit of my Ryukyu base. We have to plan for the future!"
In the evening of the same day, Zhao Zexiu sent a letter to Zhe Xiaolan to send the capital to Fan Zhongyan, saying that he had a way to slow down the pace of the Liao army and buy time for the court to mobilize the army to defend the capital.
The next day, Fan Zhongyan came to Yangqiao to meet Zhao Ze in person and listen to Zhao Ze's strategy.
Since March 10, Fan Zhongyan has mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses to start work day and night, digging all the rivers in the area north of Bianliang City, causing the Guangji River to annihilate a large area, making this area completely become a country of Haitian.
The fifteenth, Ding Hai.
The emperor of Liao led his army to Huazhou in person, set up a 20-mile company camp along Tiantai Mountain, and led a large team of people to the bank of the Yellow River in the next morning to look south.
When he saw that a large area north of Bianliang was annihilated by the water, he waved a whip and told his confidant Ye Lv Renxian, the general around him: "The Guizhou donkey of the Song Dynasty is exhausted. Let's prepare for the last blow!"
Ye Luren bent down first and said, "Your Majesty, let's hit all the shells!"
"Okay, let's do it, but remember to protect the artillery!"
"Don't worry, the king, I will never make mistakes!"
Twenty-day Spring Equinox, Renchen.
Liao sent 100,000 troops into Guoqiao, Fengqiu, Qicheng, Chenqiao and Panzhen on the north bank of the Yellow River. After a whole night of preparation, the next day, the dawn of the artillery team aimed 100 artillery at Bianliang City 60 miles away from the other side.
Half an hour later, the artillery team of Liao launched a shelling in Jicheng. Bianliang City was destroyed, nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians were killed or injured, and many of the city walls were destroyed.
Twenty-one days, Gui Si.
Bianliang and Song army fired fire to fight back, but with little effect, only killing and injuring more than a thousand people from Liao.
Twenty-second, Jiawu.
The Song army concentrated its forces to launch an attack from the two wings, all the way out of Yangqiao in the west and all the way out of Wanting in the east.
Led by Zhao Ze on the west route, there are three reinforcements under the account: Cao Xi, Huyan Shouyong and Shi Yuansun. In this way, the number of soldiers and horses on the West Road reached 80,000.
The east route is led by Huang Xiangyuan, the commander of the Sima Bujun in front of the Royal Forest Army. Under the account, there are fierce generals such as Zhejiajun and Cao Sanyuan, plus more than a dozen Qin Wang soldiers and horses, with a total strength of 100,000.
After two days of fighting, Zhao Ze, the army of the West Road, successfully crossed the Yellow River to recover Yuanwu, forced the soldiers and horses of the Liao army into the West Road into the area of Weizhou and Wuyang, and retreated nearly a hundred miles.
After Huang Xiangyuan, the army of the East Road, came out of Wanting, he encountered the army on the Middle Road of Liaoguo outside Pan Town, killing and injuring more than 10,000 people, and the attack was frustrated. The next day, when he crossed the Yellow River and fought again, he was attacked by Xiao Hui, the general of the East Road Army of Liao. He was simply responsible for the death of the Zhejia army behind the palace and did not let Liao's front and back attack plan succeed.
However, after this battle, the Song army suffered heavy casualties and had to return to Wanting.
On the 25th, Ding You.
On the eve of Zhao Ze's army's attack to the east, the artillery team of Liao Province fired more than 50 shells and more than a dozen shells at Bianliang.
He fell into the palace and killed more than a hundred maids and eunuchs. Empress Cao was shocked and the officials were frightened.
On the same day, Zhao Zebing Linyangwu fought a bloody battle with the army of the Liao army for seven days. More than 20,000 people were killed and injured on both sides. Many generals were killed in the battle, such as Zuo Zhihou Lang Jun Te Mo Li and the jiedushi Yelu Qingning of the Tiande Army.
Zhao Zejun Chaofang was also shot and killed. Li Tiegun was pulled off the horse and died in the melee. Yang Wenguang led the army to fight with the crown prince of the Liao, Yelu Dehua, and was almost killed, but he was blind.
The next day, Wu Feng and Wu Lang, in the three heroes of the original Fanshui River, in order to avenge their eldest brother Li Tiegun, went deep alone during the battle, fought with the imperial tent of Liao's own army, killed 5,000 enemies, and broke through the last camp of the Liao army in Guoqiao Town.
Half a month later, both of them died in the Battle of Haozhou.
On April 4, during the Qingming Festival, Zhao Ze, who was still fighting with the Liao army in the Yangwu area, suddenly received the news that Fan Zhongyan ordered him to quickly withdraw to Bianliang.
April 6, Wushen.
Zhao Ze's army fought and retreated. He arrived safely on the bank of the Yellow River and withdrew to the south bank on the same day.
April 8th, 1911.
When Zhao Ze led his troops back to Zhongmou, he knew that the imperial court had moved the capital. At this time, on the way south, Fan Zhongyan had an order. After Zhao Ze led the army to break, he had to drag the Liao people in Bianliang for half a month.
