The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 155 The first battle is the decisive battle

"I will obey His Majesty's will."

The King of Chu, the Crown Prince Yelu Chongyuan narrowed his eyes and accepted the order with reluctance.

In the entire Liao Dynasty, except for the Pi Shi Army in the hands of the king, all military power was in the hands of the King of the South Courtyard and the King of the North Courtyard.

Among them, Yelu Chongyuan was in charge of the Southern Courtyard, in charge of the military and civilian affairs of the tribe, and in charge of one of the most important Khitan tribes, the Diela Six Courtyard Tribe, with 300,000 elite soldiers under his command.

He mobilized 200,000 elite soldiers all at once and brought him with him. This showed that they were worried about him. Thinking of this, Yelu Chongyuan's face darkened and various plans kept flashing through his mind.

Three days later, outside the city of Shangjing, flags were waving and deafening trumpets sounded throughout the world.

"Set off."

The Liao ruler, Yelu Hongji, was dressed in military uniform, and behind him were 30,000 burly and powerful soldiers. A terrifying murderous aura spread, and the horses neighed continuously.

Following closely behind were Yelu Chongyuan's 200,000 elite soldiers, all wearing iron armor and with indifferent looks. They had all crawled out of a pile of dead bodies and were accustomed to life and death, including their own.

It took five days and five nights to travel all the way south from Shangjing City, along Longhuazhou, Tongzhou, and Shenzhou, all the way to Tokyo, Liaoyang Prefecture.

Chenzhou.

"My lord, five days ago, the Liao ruler Yelu Hongji officially sent out his troops. The Pishi army had 30,000 soldiers and the Nanyuan army had 200,000 soldiers. It was said that there were 500,000 soldiers in total, and they marched south in a mighty force."

"At this moment, they are outside the city of Dongjing in Liaoyang Prefecture, only 300 miles away from us. They can reach the city in one day and one night."

Pointing to the positions of Tokyo and Chenzhou on the sand table, the skinny monkey from the Astronomical Bureau reported everything in detail, leaving out nothing.

When Shen Yuanliang visited Mantuo Villa and was looking for the Eternal Spring Valley in the south of the colorful clouds, Shouhou led his elite men to sneak into Shangjing City and cleared the way with huge amounts of gold and silver.

The Liao Dynasty's defense map, various military deployments, etc. were all clearly discovered by the Jiantiansi, and even the mysterious Pi Shi Army was no exception.

"The conflict between the Liao ruler Yelu Hongji and his younger brother, the Southern Court Prince Yelu Chongyuan, is well known to everyone. Even though they have sufficient military strength, they actually have their own agenda. We can defeat them one by one."

Under the flickering candlelight, Dongmei, who was wearing emerald green hollow armor and had a single ponytail, spoke next.

"Cook at three o'clock tomorrow morning and set off at five o'clock."

"The first battle is the decisive battle. It will decide the outcome. We will first attack the Pishi Army near the Liao River, and then the 200,000-strong Nanyuan Army."

Waving his whip and pointing at the Liaohe Plain, Shen Yuanliang gave the order with a serious expression and without any room for doubt.

In today's world, countries are fighting with each other. Qin, Han, Sui, Tang and other countries are famous in history and have left behind glorious chapters. Others dare not provoke them, but Shen Yuanliang's power is still growing.

In order to avoid future troubles, Shen Yuanliang needs to flex his "muscles" at the appropriate time to let them see the strength of the Shen family.

Use absolute strength to tell the world that the Liaodong Peninsula belongs to Shen Yuanliang and no one can stop it.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of drums piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks rang out. After a hearty meal, the 3,000 Iron Guards and 50,000 Imperial Guards, who were ready for battle, headed north along the Liao River in the cool autumn breeze.

With flags covering the sky, the mighty team marched on the loess road, filled with smoke and dust, like a giant yellow dragon rising into the sky, roaring to the sky, extremely majestic.

Riding on a tall horse, Shen Yuanliang stood still and observed the 50,000 well-trained imperial guards. He was very satisfied and nodded and said, "Not bad." After the changes in heaven and earth, facing the increasingly serious situation, Shen Yuanliang recruited 300,000 soldiers as the imperial guards to charge into battle. Except for 100,000 navy soldiers, the remaining 200,000 soldiers were all infantry.

As for the cavalry, the Liaodong Peninsula is mountainous and it is difficult to raise horses, so they can only purchase them from other places. However, the Later Jin and Jiannu had a grudge against Shen Yuanliang, and the Mongolian tribes were far apart.

Through piecemeal efforts and a series of spoils of war, Shen Yuanliang was able to gather together a group of heavy cavalrymen with three horses each, also known as the Iron Guard.

"In order to train 200,000 soldiers, Shitou forgot to eat and sleep, and set an example himself. Finally, he has made some progress and has lived up to your expectations, my husband."

Dongmei, who was standing by, held the reins with both hands, glanced at the murderous, resolute and courageous imperial guards on the official road, and boasted.

Starting from the Iron Guard, under the training of Shen Yuanliang, Shitou has already developed his own set of experience and insights on how to train soldiers.

The farmer who had just put down his hoe and was in a daze has now become a qualified soldier with strict discipline. He fights wherever he is told, and even everyone has been promoted to a higher rank.

Coupled with a set of sturdy armor, it is not a problem for him to compete with an eighth-grade martial arts master, which means that Shen Yuanliang has a full 300,000 "Pi Shi Army".

When the sun was at its highest point in the sky, the two sides met on the Liaohe Plain. For a moment, the tense situation was on the verge of breaking out.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The order to attack was spread to all the armies along with the red pennant, and the sound of trumpets resounding through the sky followed.

The 3,000 Iron Guards soldiers acting as the vanguard pulled down their armor, squeezed the horses' bellies, and waved the whips in their hands. The Ujumchin horses that were usually carefully raised and digging the soil suddenly began to gallop.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves gradually covered up the deafening sound of drums. Thousands of horses galloped like a flood, rushing straight towards the 30,000 Pi Shi troops led by Liao ruler Yelu Hongji.

"No chaos, no chaos."

"You are the Pishi Army, the bravest warriors among all the tribes. The gods are watching you from heaven. Show your courage and prove your bravery to the world."

Three thousand Iron Guards launched a surprise attack, and the unprepared Pi Shi Army gradually became restless. In response, Liao ruler Yelu Hongji concentrated his energy and his loud voice spread throughout the area within a radius of five miles.

Hearing the Liao Lord's voice, the somewhat panicked Pi Shi Army quickly calmed down, quickly put on their armor, and formed a tight square formation under the command of the officers.

The ten-zhang-high banner of the central army fluttered in the wind, rustling. The Liao ruler Yelu Hongji stood on a temporary platform with an unprecedentedly solemn expression.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Shen Yuanliang's unstable foothold to launch a surprise attack and directly attack the city, but he didn't expect that Shen Yuanliang had the same idea, and the two sides met unexpectedly on the Liaohe Plain.

The short distance of five miles passed in a flash. The three thousand Iron Guards were all dressed in armor, and the goose-feather swords in their hands emitted a cold light in the sun.

Dazzling rays of light flashed by, and the Pi Shi army, who were on high alert, suddenly couldn't open their eyes, blurred by the glare reflection. In an instant, the situation took a turn for the worse.

"Shh!"

Wielding goose-feather knives, the three thousand Iron Guards quickly killed the "blind" and "invisible" Pi Shi soldiers one by one. Their heavy armor was as smooth as cutting tofu.

A cup of tea later, three thousand Iron Guards swept past, turned their horses around, and prepared to continue charging.

The Pi Shi Army, which had been in strict formation just now, was now sparsely distributed. Looking around, there were 30,000 people at first, but now it is estimated that there are less than 20,000.

In other words, the Iron Guards killed more than 10,000 people in one round of charge, with each person killing four people on average.
