Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

Human shoes are least slippery than horseshoes.

Seeing Song Jun following the iron tackle overwhelmingly attacking, Yeluren couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.

"It's over!"

Without cavalry, the combat power of the Liao army would be reduced by at least half, and it would be impossible to even run.

Then, he opened his eyes suddenly, gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Your Majesty is in the camp, we have no way out, and all the troops will fight to the death with me!"

As he said that, he jumped off the wall of the stronghold, quickly commanded the soldiers to retreat to the back stronghold, and set fire to the tents and clothes to resist the Song army temporarily.

Barely create some favorable terrain.

In the current situation, running is impossible, without horses, they can't escape, they can only fight to the death.

Fortunately, the Tang River has little water, the ice is not thick, and the area is not wide.

As long as they persist until the afternoon, when the ice melts, they have the hope of escape.

At this moment, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen were the happiest. This was their first battle after recovering from their injuries.

The two were infantry generals, and they were always bullied by the enemy with horsepower.

Now that the Song and Liao armies have all given up their war horses, it is time for them to show their strengths, so they are fighting with great excitement.

Emperor Liao was also a man of blood. Seeing that the situation was critical, he didn't care about his delicate body, so he personally put on armor and held a sword to boost morale.

Seeing this, Mu Guiying, who was in charge of the command, looked even more serious, and said nothing, calmly mobilized the soldiers of each battalion to attack desperately.

This battle was fought directly from early morning to noon, and the two armies killed blood and blood, and the sky was dark.

Mu Guiying secretly lamented that the Liao Emperor could count on it. If he hadn't personally gone into battle to boost morale, the Liao army would have collapsed already.

However, without the assistance of the cavalry, the Liao army was already in decline. Even if the Liao emperor risked his life, he would not be able to sustain it.

Yeluren first went to Emperor Liao covered in blood and said:

"Your Majesty, the situation is irreversible. Now that the ice has eased, please hurry up, Your Majesty!"

Seeing the soldiers around him cast their eyes on him, Emperor Liao nodded his head and said angrily:

"Your sons are fighting fiercely, how can I escape alone?"

Yeluren was speechless at first, what are you pretending to say at this time, after speaking, he punched Emperor Liao on the back of the neck and said:

"Hurry up and escort His Majesty to retreat. This commander is desperately blocking the Song army."

The general of the imperial guard quickly took over Liao Emperor, put him on his horse, cupped his hands and said:

"Marshal, don't worry, I will swear to the death to escort His Majesty back home."

Mu Guiying was relieved to see the Emperor of Liao retreating from the battlefield, and ignored him, concentrating on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

After all, the Song army had few soldiers. If the Liao emperor insisted on fighting to the death, the result might not be satisfactory.

Now that the Liao emperor is running away, it is much easier to break through the main force of the Liao army, and they can't last long.

As soon as he left the battlefield, Emperor Liao came to his senses. He didn't say anything, and quickly led people to flee to the north.

After half a day, they had arrived near "Tangshan" in Tang County.

As soon as he turned around the foot of the mountain, Emperor Liao saw a group of people standing in front of him calmly.

All the soldiers rolled out a four-wheeled cart, Cao Bin waved a feather fan, looked at Emperor Liao leisurely and said:

"Yelu Longxu, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

"Now you can catch him without a fight, and wait for Empress Dowager Xiao...it will be your mother who will redeem you!"

Emperor Liao's face was livid with anger, Ma De, do you need to explain?It sounds like swearing.

He endured the humiliation and said:

"Cao Bin, you have great talent and extraordinary strategies. I admire you very much."

"If you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and go to Daliao, I will make you king!"

Cao Bin laughed twice, shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty Yelu is trying to buy this Marquis? I'm sorry, you misread the person..."

As he spoke, he waved his lupine fan, and there was a sudden sound of killing, and thousands of soldiers rushed out from the hillside.

Two generals rushed out from Emperor Liao's side and shouted:

"Your Majesty, let's go, the last general will wait for someone to cut off the heir for you!"

As he said that, he kicked the horse and led people to rush up.

Emperor Liao didn't hesitate at all, he pulled his horse and left.

The terrain in North China is flat, and there are few dangerous passes. It is not realistic to directly block the Liao soldiers.

Cao Bin didn't have enough troops, so he planned to consume the power around the Liao Emperor first, and then lead Qingqi to pursue and capture the Liao Emperor.

At this time, seeing Emperor Liao walking around the road, it was exactly what he wanted, so he quickly took the spear, flew on the horse and said:

"You wait for the infantry to intercept the defeated Liao soldiers!"

"All the cavalry, follow me to chase the Liao Emperor!"

After finishing speaking, he urges the horse to chase after him with the sedan chair and others.

In this battle, both Song and Liao suffered heavy losses. It is already impossible to break through Yanyun with hard power.

But if you catch Yelu Longxu, you can try to see if you can exchange people for land...

However, Empress Dowager Xiao is such a talented person that it is difficult to guess, and it is possible to establish a new emperor.

It's just that it's none of his business, it needs to be negotiated by the court, what if Empress Dowager Xiao is soft-hearted?

At this moment, a fast horse suddenly rushed over and shouted anxiously:

"Lord Hou, His Majesty called urgently to order Zhong Jinghou to bring the troops back to the city quickly."

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief:

"Emperor Liao is right in front of you, why did His Majesty issue this order?"

The fast horse took a few breaths before explaining:

"Lord Hou, something important has happened in the capital, and His Majesty is eager to return to Luan."

"That's why I urgently called Lord Hou to escort him!"

Cao Bin's complexion changed several times before he let out a long sigh and said to the cavalry behind him:

"Follow me back to the city."

After returning to Dingzhou, he got detailed information.

The 5000 troops from the Liao Kingdom went south to the capital, came and went suddenly, and caused chaos everywhere, which disturbed the hearts of the capital and made it difficult to connect with the front line.

Rumors continued to spread even inside and outside the court, saying that the emperor was raided by the Liao people and was seriously injured to death.

The Prime Minister Wang Yanling was not decisive enough, and he failed to win people's trust by refusing rumors several times...

If it's just that, it's fine. The most important thing is that the emperor has no heirs and the foundation of the country has not been established, which will inevitably make the ambitious people ready to move.

"Some people" even clamored to establish a new emperor.

It wasn't until this time that Cao Bin understood Yeluren's plan.

This is a strategy of "drawing salary from the bottom of the pot". If the "Song-Liao decisive battle" is delayed for a few days, I am afraid that the emperor will be eager to ask the Liao people for peace.

Agree to most of the conditions of the Liao people.

Mu Guiying said:

"Cao Bin, Your Majesty has already driven back to Beijing, ordered me to meet up with Shengjia as soon as possible..."

While talking, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Cao Bin and said:

"Not good, Xiao Gulu is still alive..."

Although the main force of the Liao army has been defeated, the battle is not completely over.

Whether it is the defeat of the Liao army or the defense after the war, careful arrangements are required.

It's just that Cao Bin and the others have run out of time.

To make matters worse, the deployment of soldiers and horses in Hebei has already been demoted by the emperor.

It is fashionable for the emperor to sit in the town, and Cao Bin is temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses, so he can temporarily control the troops and horses in Hebei.

But after the emperor left, he did not appoint a new commander in chief. If Cao Bin also let go, who will these soldiers listen to?

The guards of the various states do not control each other, and I am afraid they will fall into a mess.

Not to mention clearing up the remnants of the defeated generals and perfecting the defense, even Waqiaoguan was also occupied by the Liao people and it was difficult to recover.

Once there is a truce and the negotiation stage is entered, it will be difficult to return to Waqiao Pass.

"Huntianhou, how is the battle at General Zongbao's place?"

Cao Bin asked while waiting for his subordinates to summon the soldiers.

Mu Guiying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and said:

"Are you going to recommend Zong Bao to be deployed in Hebei's military capital?"

Although Cao Bin did not have the right to appoint such high officials, he could recommend them to the emperor.

Yang Zongbao also had the opportunity to temporarily restrain Hebei's soldiers and horses.

The Yang family always wanted to avoid suspicion, but Cao Bin's identity was very suitable.

He is now the commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses. If he recommends it to the emperor, the emperor will probably agree.

If he held this position, Yang Zongbao himself would be much safer, not to mention promotion and title.

With the right to mobilize soldiers and horses in Hebei, his restrictions will be greatly reduced, and there is basically no worry about the shortage of major generals.

So hastily said:

"Zong Bao should be attacking Waqiao Pass."

Cao Bin nodded and said:

"If General Zongbao can regain Waqiao Pass, Cao will immediately ask the officials for instructions."

Mu Guiying gave Cao Bin a grateful look, and said:

"So, Gui Ying will thank you on Zong Bao's behalf."

Cao Bin laughed and said:

"Then Cao is waiting for Uncle Huntian's thanks...but General Yang must take back Waqiao Pass, otherwise I will not touch His Majesty's bad luck."

Mu Guiying rolled her eyes and said speechlessly:

"Don't worry, Gui Ying is not someone who knows how to repay her kindness."

This man is so realistic.

At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that she must send a letter to urge Yang Zongbao to recover Waqiao Pass no matter what.

This opportunity is really rare.

Cao Bin was also helpless, he didn't want to participate in this matter, but the emperor left in a hurry, he couldn't just let the matter of Hebei be left alone and let it go badly.

If something happened to him after he left, the court might hold him accountable.

Instead of this, it's better to throw out this hot position as soon as possible. Whoever has the accident will be responsible at that time, and it has nothing to do with him.

Among the guards in various states and counties in Hebei, Yang Zongbao is the most reliable and has enough qualifications, so he is a very suitable candidate.

Just as they were talking, nearly [-] soldiers had assembled.

In the Battle of Dingzhou, although 8 people from the Liao Kingdom were defeated, the Song Army also suffered a lot of casualties.

Those are the only ones left intact.

There was no time to think about other things, so Mu Guiying led [-] infantry to march normally, while Cao Bin himself led [-] guard cavalry to chase Sheng Jia first.
