Yue Fei said: "Our businessman has been detained in this area."

"Regarding this matter, His Majesty has promised to look for it."

"did you find it?"

"Not yet."

"But the commander-in-chief heard that he was detained by your country."

"The general said this, do you have evidence?"

Liu Shu on the side said angrily: "I have evidence, but why should I provide it to you! Who are you! You took our people and deliberately refused to let them go. We came to ask for people, and you still have the face to ask for evidence!"

"Xiao Langjun is responsible for saying these things." Chuang Gu'er said calmly, "It is not good for both countries to cause the two countries to go to war for a moment."

"The Son of Heaven has already written a letter to the ruler of your country. Da Song expressed his attitude and hoped to open up commerce and trade. This Commander has also written clearly. I hope your country will release people and peace is the most important thing."

Bed Gu'er said: "But Gaochang's two elder sons and the Naiman people didn't say that. They said that the Song army was brutal and rude, and perverted."

"Is this the attitude of Yelu Dashi?" Yue Fei said, "If that's the case, then the battle will determine the outcome, so why bother talking."

"Your Majesty does not want to go to war with the Song army."

"It's up to either side now." Yue Fei said in a strong tone, "If there is no discussion, use your fist."

"It seems that Song Jun is unwilling to retreat?"

The two parties broke up unhappy, and Yue Fei did not make things difficult for Chuang Guer.

On the evening of the first day of August, Erbusi reported to Yelu Dashi the situation of the raid on the Song army in the previous two days.

"You mean, the Song army has a weapon that can explode?" Yelu Dashi asked in surprise.

"It's similar to the Thunderbolt, and it can throw the Thunderbolt in an instant. It's more powerful than the Thunderbolt. When the horse heard about it, it was immediately frightened."

Everyone looked at each other in blank amazement.

Yelu Dashi said solemnly: "In this way, attacking the left and right wings of the Song army is a difficult problem."

Yelu Yanshan said: "It's not impossible. The Song army has limited firearms. If the Song army can divide and move according to His Majesty's plan, it will undoubtedly be defeated."

Yelu Dashi continued to ask: "What is the shape of the firearm after it is fired?"

"Just like the thunder that shakes the sky, the throwing bursts out shards of iron."

"How far can it project?"

Erbus said: "At least seventy feet away."

As soon as he said this, everyone was even more surprised.

Yelu Yanshan said: "Your Majesty, the new weapon of the Song people is extraordinary. If it is replaced by stone, it may destroy the city wall."

"What do you mean, once the Song people come to Husi Ordu City, can they take it quickly?"

"It's possible."

For a moment, everyone showed solemn expressions.

Yelu Dashi's strategy to deal with the Song army was not only to force Yue Fei to divide his troops, but he actually planted many suspicious soldiers near the city of Husi Ordu.

Then the distribution of the main force was carefully arranged.

Not only that, according to his division of troops, it is almost difficult for the Song army to end the war quickly.

Even if there is an accident, the Song army can't beat the Song army on the frontal battlefield, and it can delay the time and kill the Song army's spirit on the long-distance expedition.

However, the new weapons of the Song army seemed to have an uncertain impact on the evolution of the situation.

Chapter 1366 Ili River Battlefield (Part [-])

For Yue Fei, the biggest difficulty now is that he cannot confirm where the main force of the Liao army is.

The Song Army's [-] troops spread out for several miles horizontally.

If the Liao army adopted surprise tactics, the Song army would be very dangerous.

The biggest difference between fighting here and the Central Plains is that the opponent's unified cavalry can maximize high mobility tactics.

The core lies in being able to compress the reaction time of Song Jun to the limit.

On the second day of August, Li Yanxian commanded [-] soldiers and horses to separate from Yue Fei.

Li Yanxian quickly went north and entered the Yilie River area, while Yue Fei continued to go south.

"Report! The Song Army has split up!"

The scout sent the message to Yelu Dashi, and the other message to Xiao Orila.

"Continue to explore!"

On the third day of August, Yue Fei passed through the mountains north of Husi Ordu city, and suddenly accelerated his march.

In the afternoon, Song Jun was only [-] miles away from Husi Ordu City.

That day, Yue Fei encountered several groups of cavalry from the Liao army.

These cavalry came and went like the wind, coming very fast, but also walking very fast.

Obviously it is for the purpose of luring the enemy.

Yue Fei was as immobile as a mountain. While ordering the army to continue marching, he deployed defenses around the main force.

From the fourth day of August, the cavalry of the Liao army increased significantly. They came and walked faster in the same style as the previous day.

As a result, many generals in the Song army asked Yue Fei for a job, hoping to allow him to command an elite cavalry to hunt down the Khitans.

These requests were all rejected by Yue Fei.

So far, Yue Fei's deployment of Yelu Dashi's troops is still uncertain, but his intuition tells him that the deployment of Yelu Dashi's troops may be very complicated.

He handed over the north to Li Yanxian, and he could only hand over the back to Li Yanxian.

"Is there no movement from the Song army?" Xiao Wuli asked.

"Yes, Marshal, the Song army has not changed anything except to slow down the march. We have raided the Song army several times, and the Song army never pursued it."

Xiao Wuli said sharply, "It seems that Yue Fei's endurance is beyond ordinary people!"

He then asked again: "According to the current march of the Song army, how long will it take to reach the city?"

"Arrived around four quarters (two o'clock in the afternoon)."

"Military defense of the whole city!"

Sure enough, at the end of the afternoon, the Liao army standing at the head of the city of Husi Ordu could already see a large black mass of Song troops approaching the city of Husi Ordu like a torrent.

At this time, everyone in Husi Ordo City was busy.

Even the women on the streets are like men, carrying military supplies under the command of officials.

"All the iron armor over there is transported to the north city gate. Be careful, these are gunpowder!"

"The enemy is now attacking our home, we must fight back, we are invincible!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"..."

There are some people in the street who are passionate.

"Lord merciful and almighty, please protect us."

Others were praying.

Not long after, a middle-aged man passed by on horseback. He met someone who was transporting armaments and asked, "Have all the bows and arrows been delivered?"

"Reporting to Marshal, all the bows and arrows have been shipped out."

Xiao Wuli did not continue to ask, but rushed towards the top of the city with his people.

When he reached the gate of the city, Xiao Orila got off his horse.

He was dressed in heavy armor, and surrounded by everyone, he walked towards the top of the city.

Seeing him coming, everyone at the top of the city became more upright and more confident.

Brother Yelu Tie said: "Marshal, the Song army just sent an envoy."

"What did you say?"

"I hope we release people and sign a trade agreement to ensure the safety of the Silk Road. As long as we agree, they will withdraw their troops."

As soon as the words were finished, the envoys of the Song Army came to the city gate again.

"How about it, let people go, sign an agreement, and we will withdraw our troops immediately!"

"Shoot him to death!" Xiao Wuli gave an order, and the Liao army at the top of the city immediately fired arrows in unison.

The emissary immediately turned around and ran. Fortunately, he was wearing iron armor, and a few bows and arrows shot at his back, which did not cause any harm to him, and quickly returned to the barracks.

Seeing the Liao army shooting and killing its own envoy, the Song army was furious.

A group of generals immediately asked Yue Fei to be the forward, but they were still suppressed by Yue Fei.

Yue Fei looked at the Liao army at the head of the city and knew that today's fierce battle was inevitable.

The Liao State is not only worried about the westward expansion of the Song Army, but also cares about the majesty of its own powerful country. The Liao State needs to deter all ethnic groups in the Western Regions through its powerful majesty.

It is impossible for Yelu Dashi to bow his head to Song Jun easily.

"Let the engineering battalion build heavy artillery first." Yue Fei said lightly.

On the fourth day of August, the Song army did not rush to attack the city after arriving at Husi Ordu, but the Liao army cavalry continued to harass it.

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, the Yilie River glowed with crystal luster in the morning light of early autumn, like a jade belt under the Tianshan Mountains.

The grass in front was already a little yellow, and a group of cavalry galloped past quickly. Judging from their clothes, they were Ge Luolu people.

They circled the hills and quickly approached the Yilie River (Ili River).

At first, I thought there were not many of them, but as they continued to appear, it became clear that this was a large number of cavalry.

There are thousands of people.

"Khan, the Yilie River is just ahead. The Song army is twenty miles to the south. Their scouts should have spotted us."

The leader Pei Daqian said: "The whole army goes to drink water, and immediately put on their armor and prepare for battle!"

This cavalry quickly arrived at the Yilie River, and after drinking water from the Yilie River, they began to put on their armor.

During the Tang Dynasty, Ge Luolu people played an important role in the Western Regions.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Geluolu people and the Uighurs who moved westward established the powerful Kara Khanate, also known as the Black Khanate, in the Seven Rivers Basin.

The Black Khanate was later split into two parts, east and west.

The Eastern Black Khanate was conquered by Yelu Dashi, and the Western Black Khanate surrendered to Seljuk.

Last year, Yelu Dashi defeated the Seljuk coalition forces and included the Xihei Khanate into the territory of the Liao Kingdom.

The combat strength of the Geluolu people is actually quite satisfactory, just like the Uyghurs of this era, neither too strong nor too weak.

After all, the Black Khanate once mastered the advanced iron-smelting technology and equipped a lot of heavy cavalry.

At this time, after the Ge Luolu cavalry was equipped with iron armor, they quickly rushed towards Li Yanxian's troops.

Li Yanxian soon received news of the enemy's attack.

"Are you sure it's from Ge Luolu?"

"Sure, but these Ge Luolu people are all equipped with iron armor, and they are menacing!"

"Let them come!" Li Yanxian immediately began to put up a defensive formation.

At the same time, he sent scouts to pay close attention to the movements within a radius of dozens of miles.

Intuition told him that the enemy may have heavy troops in this area.

At noon, Li Yanxian could already hear the sound of Ge Luolu's iron hooves.

Li Yanxian, who was standing on the commander's platform, looked over and said with some surprise: "The Ge Luolu people still have so many armored cavalry. It seems that the troops of the Western Regions are much stronger than the commander imagined."

"No!"
