The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 932 Liaodong Battlefield
Liaozhou is the former Liaodong!

The source of the Great Wall in the North started from Shanhaiguan in later generations, and the four counties in Liaodong, Liaoxi County, Xuantu County, Liaodong County, and Lelang County, were not within the scope of protection.

Some people may question, since Lu Heng saw that the defenses in Hetao were weak, why didn't he see that the defenses in Liaodong were weak?

Why not build the Great Wall first?The control of Liaodong was in the hands of Da Song much earlier than Hetao!
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!

First of all, Lu Heng took Liaodong at that time, and Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Tian Hu and other forces were not wiped out. The country was in a state of war and was unable to start the construction of huge fortifications such as the Great Wall.

Then there is the difference between Liaodong and Hetao.

To the east, west and north of Liao is the Jurchens, and to the east are the Jurchens' watchdogs, the Koreans.

Building such a large-scale project under their noses is tantamount to going to war and falling into the quagmire of war.

For all the above reasons, Liaodong is the weakest territory with inherent deficiencies.

Of course, it's not that Lu Heng doesn't have any arrangements in Liaodong.

For example, the strongest defender Meng Gong and the most aggressive Confucian general Wang Shao, one guards the throat Xuantu County, and the other guards Liaodong County.

Almost as long as Meng Gong is a history buff, he knows that he resisted the mighty Mongolian invasion with his own strength, and he was born as a man who extended his life in the Southern Song Dynasty for more than 30 years.

Wang Shao's reputation is not so great. Wang Shao was a figure in the Shenzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the famous "Ping Rong Ce" is the work of this king.

Wang Shao advocated the strategic policy of destroying Qingtang and seizing the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, advancing in two ways and going straight to Xixia.

During the Shenzong period of Song Dynasty, Wang Shao wiped out the Qingtang Dynasty and opened up thousands of miles of land for the country. It was an honor.

It's a pity that Song Shenzong died young, and the land that countless soldiers laid down with blood, because an ignorant woman who loves power, plus a courtier who only knows how to fight internally and has no regard for the country, without the slightest threat, external force, etc. Thousands of miles of territory opened up with the blood of countless soldiers were given away.

No one with a bit of blood would do such a stupid thing!But this is what happens in reality, sadly!What a shame!

Speaking of the situation in Liaodong, Xuantu County is the throat of Liaodong. There are two strong cities, Xuantu Goguryeo and Liaodong Xiangping, guarding the gate. Although it is not as strong as the Great Wall defense line, it is not without danger.

Liaodong County and Lelang County do not have the same hook-shaped terrain, and there is almost no danger to defend. The real tough battle is unfolding here.

Therefore, the main force of the Liaozhou garrison includes the Meng Gong Army, Wang Shao Army, and the seconded Chixin Battalion and Jinfan Battalion.

Meng Gong led his legion guard Xuantu to guard the entrance of Liaoxi, and handed over a large number of cavalry to Wang Shao.

Because the duel between Wang Shao and Nian Han is the only field duel among all sideline defenses!
Fortunately, Wang Shao was not unprepared. Ma Kuo, Zhang Xian, Liu Kai, Zhe Kexing, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Keshi, and Zhe Kecun under Wang Shao's army were all good soldiers and good generals. Ride together.

The Liaozhou garrison is one of the few garrisons in the Song Dynasty with their own cavalry. Although they haven't fought the Jurchen like this year in recent years, there are constant frictions.

Zhang Xian and Liu Kai mentioned earlier that they were the outstanding candidates in the imperial examinations in the past few years. In addition to Wang Tien and Guo Jin who were active in the Bingzhou battlefield, they were also active in Liaozhou. Song Xinxing.

At the same time, Zhekexing, Zhekeqiu, Zhekeshi, and Zhekecun are also outstanding Zhejia generals. Although Zhejia appeared late, it is also a marriage family with the Yang family just like the original time and space.

Liaozhou is not far from the Yang family where Yang Yanzhao was stationed in Lulongsai, but the Zhe family did not take the road of imperial examinations, but the road of recommending military exploits by generals, and Yang Yanzhao recommended them to Lu Heng, the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

And Wang Shao's opponent Nianhan (Wanyan Zonghan), the backbone of Wanyan Sagai's eldest son who turned against Liao in the original time and space, was also the victim of Zhao Song Jingkang's shame.

It is precisely because of the first battle in Taiyuan that Wang Zhishou made Wanyan Zonghan's reputation much smaller than that of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi. But Yan Zonghan can also be compared to Xiao Talin's famous general.

This time Wanyan Zonghan also has Wanyan Xiang, Wanyan Saliyin, Wanyan Balisu, Wanyan Benjian, Xiyun, Wuyan Puluhun and other generals under Wanyan Zonghan's command.

Wanyan Zonghan led [-] Jurchen cavalry with Wanyan Balisu as the vanguard. The goal was Xi'anping, an important town in Liaodong County (Dandong City, the border of China in later generations). An important location in Lang County.

In this era, the Mazishui (Yalu River) is just an inland river in China, far from being so important. On the contrary, it is still very important to Goryeo, like the mother river.

This time Wanyan Zonghan entered Korea with an excuse, along the Mazishui all the way down the river, and the goal is Xi'an Ping, but Wanyan Zonghan just went south along the Mazishui, and he encountered a blow!

On the edge of the Mazi River, the army formed an formation along the river. Groups of Song infantry stood in formation as if they were waiting for something. The typical infantry of the Song Dynasty in this army consisted of large soldiers, wolves, and built-in sickle hook guns. Great axes and crossbow battalion.

There is a copper utensil outside each team, which is obviously a fire dragon cabinet that has mysterious power for the prairie people.

"Report to the general, the enemy army is still ten miles away!" The scouts kept running to report the situation of the enemy army.

Wang Shao looked at the upper reaches of Ma Zishui with a solemn expression, and the two generals Zhang Xian and Liu Qi looked murderous. The army of Wang Shao, Zhang Xian, and Liu Qi was an infantry army of 2 people, and the news came to Yan Zonghan Their army was twice as many.

But everyone in the Great Song Army didn't have the slightest fear, and they waited silently in formation, obviously the military discipline was strict.

"Rumble! Rumble!" Ten miles is not a long record for a cavalry. After a quarter of an hour, Wang Shao saw the first Jurchen cavalry, and then a dense crowd of cavalry appeared in sight.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!", "Prepare to meet the enemy!", "Prepare to meet the enemy!"

At the moment when the first Jurchen cavalry appeared, Wang Shao gave the order without hesitation, and the Jurchen cavalry had already started galloping.

"Let the arrow!", "Let the arrow!"

The first shot of the arrow was the roar of Song Zhang Xian, and the range of the god arm crossbow was a hundred steps farther than the strongest Jurchen bow.

But the distance of only one hundred steps is almost a few breaths for the speed of the cavalry, and the second roar of "shooting arrows" is Wanyan Bali's speed.

The arrows from the Bow and Crossbow Battalion flew out, and the Jurchen cavalry team also flew out a rain of arrows!

Running shot vs. arrow array, the collision of nomadic housekeeping skills and the crystallization of China's millennium tactics.

The rain of arrows collided in the sky, some collided with each other and fell, and some reached the target smoothly. From a distance, it seemed that two dark clouds collided, which was very spectacular.

"Raise the shield!", "Scatter and avoid!"

There were two different roars, and the next moment, the rain of arrows fell on the opponent's head!
