The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Xiao Hanlila understood the facts of the Song army, but he did not launch an attack rashly, but waited for the domestic order. He understood that Dashi Linya claimed to have inherited the legacy of the Liao Kingdom and continued the national veins of the Liao Kingdom, but everyone understood them.

This regime cannot convince all Khitans, because although Yelu Dashi is considered a royal family, he is already a branch of the side and has not been recognized by the clan.

The princess of Shu Kingdom, Yu Liyan, was the biological daughter of the last emperor Yelu Yanxi, and was directly in the royal family. After being separated from the emperor, he established a regime in Xijing, and was in charge of the country as a princess, and received support from the two major tribes of Yelu and Xiao.

In the battle with the Jurchens, he won many battles and defended the last piece of land in the Liao Kingdom, but Yelu Dashi was still in the northern desert at that time. After that, with the destruction of the Nanjing regime and the capture of the emperor, Xijing became the only remaining Liao Kingdom at that time.

The regime was also regarded as orthodox by the Khitans.

After that, the princess of Shu recruited the King of Yan of Song to fight against Jin to join forces with the Song Dynasty to recruit the King of Yan as her son-in-law, and the momentum was even better. With his help, he recovered the entire Xijing area. The Jurchens dared not invade the border again and shocked the northwest. What is regrettable is that the prince of the Song Dynasty did not forget his homeland.

The princess and husbands of Shu led their troops to return to Song, but they also won huge benefits for the Khitans and saved their tribe from war. Therefore, Shu

The princess still enjoys a lofty prestige among the Khitans.

Now the Song army has transferred the letter from the princess of Shu. Although Xiao Hanlila does not know the specific content, he can also guess that he must be urging the emperor to stop the war and fight against the Jin Dynasty and not to rush to the muddy waters of Gaochang. I think the status and prestige of the princess of Shu are the ones who are the princess of Shu.

The emperor would not ignore her opinions, so this conflict might be avoided. From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Hanlila did not want to get into evil with Song. Therefore, he did not rashly move troops, but did not relax in preparing for war.

Wishes are beautiful. The result is disappointing. A few days later, the news from the country was heard back, and the emperor rejected the suggestion of the princess of Shu. But he said that as long as the Song army gave up the attack on Gaochang, he could send the Song army out of the country and persuade Gaochang to reopen the business.

The road, and a special market can be set up in the Western Liao Dynasty, allowing merchants of the Song Dynasty to operate there, otherwise they would have to fight each other.

Xiao Hanlila sighed after seeing this. The Song army spent a huge amount of money to mobilize a hundred thousand troops from all over the world. How could he give up the conquest of Gaochang with just one promise? The two armies could not help but fight. So he sent an envoy to inform the Song army and sent it.

The mobilization order, after the Song army rejected the emperor's suggestion, went to fight immediately...

The Western Liao army rolled in with an unstoppable momentum. When it was still twenty miles away from the Song army camp, a cavalry suddenly came out. They roared and stirred up the smoke and dust in the sky and couldn't see how many people were. Xiao Hanlila

He hurriedly ordered the army to stop advancing and line up to meet the enemy. However, the visitor did not stop but rushed up. He hurriedly ordered the vanguard army to step forward to block the enemy's rushing forward.

The two armies approached quickly, and Xiao Hanlila saw the other party's banner clearly. It was the Mengwu tribe who followed the Song army to fight. The number of people was about 5,000. The formation that could be seen was slightly higher than the two wings backwards. Just west

When the Liao army vanguard was about to contact the enemy, the two wings of the Mengwu tribe had already rushed within a hundred steps from them and began to shoot arrows. Since the number of people on both wings was much smaller than that of the vanguard, the gap between the queue was relatively large to avoid accidental injuries and could be sustained.

Shooting an arrow.

The Western Liao army would not wait for the beating. They also shot arrows and fought back, but their equipment had short range and could not shoot in front of the enemy's horses. However, the people on their side were caught in the dense rain of arrows. And

The Mongolian Army was still firing arrows, and immediately retreated to the back row after the first row was discharged. Three rounds were shot in a short period of time, and the Western Liao Army suffered heavy casualties.

Just when the Western Liao army was frantically shot by the cavalry on both wings and mobilized their troops to fill the situation, the frontal assault of the Mongolian army had also begun. They also started with bows and arrows. Because of the frontal impact and the speed of the horses sprinting forward, it was even more

Deep range and lethality. The Western Liao army was hit by a sudden violent and rapid rain of arrows. The soldiers in the front row were shot and the vanguard formation was in chaos. Just as they hurriedly sorted out the formation, the soldiers who were prepared to supplement the soldiers who lost the front row

By the time, the Mengwu cavalry had already shot three-wheeled arrows, and they pulled their bows and killed them like they were flying.

At this moment, the vanguard of the Western Liao army suffered heavy losses under the rain of arrows of the Mongolian army. The formation was in chaos and could not resist the enemy's impact. He collapsed instantly and was defeated by the crazy killing of the Mongolian army. However, the Mongolian army did not

They were willing to give up, and slightly adjusted their formation while running and rushed towards the Liao army formation. They used their same tricks again, and still used the cavalry on both wings to attack long-rangely with bows and arrows, and then rely on frontal impact to break through the formation.

Under another round of attacks from the Mongolian army, the front army in front of the formation was shaken. Xiao Hanlila hurriedly sent the army forward to fill the gap, thus blocking the enemy's impact and stabilizing the formation. He was simply furious to be mad at the pirates.

The enemy's army had only 3,000 troops far less than their own strength, and they rode a short horse and were not as good as the tall Turkic war horses in their army. In terms of individual combat capabilities and short-sized Mongolians were not the ones in their army.

The soldiers' opponent was beaten to the point where they had no power to fight back.

The Mongolian cavalry who failed to rush forward saw that things were not to be bothered, turned their horses and retreated to re-form the formation. How could Xiao Hanlila, as a veteran on the battlefield, give the enemy a chance to fight again? He ordered the front army to pursue them and not turn back.

The Mongolians saw that they were crowded and powerful, but they were conscious of their tide and retreated, but once the Liao army approached, they used the way of long-range bows and arrows in their hands to attack them to prevent them from getting closer. If the front army was confused and slowed down

At that time, the Mongolian army immediately formed a formation and turned around to rush forward, and still used long-range strikes to kill the Liao army. Taking advantage of the opportunity that it had to stop and organize the formation and launch a frontal impact.

After several times, the Liao army not only failed to catch up with the Mongolian army, but was bitten by it twice, which damaged many soldiers and generals. Xiao Hanlila was furious and ordered the front army to disperse their formation to take advantage of their fast horse speed and soldiers

He is good at fighting against each other and releasing his speed and chasing hard, and is ready to use their number of people to break through the obstacles of their bows and arrows, fight them in close combat, and not give them the chance to turn around and fight again. His tactics are very effective, and the Mongolians are chased and urinate.

, you can only rely on frequent horse exchange to maintain your speed so that you can barely avoid being caught up.

The two armies chased on the grassland one by one and one behind. Unfortunately, the Mongolians were few in agile movements, gathered and dispersed, and were unstable. The Western Liao army was a large group of people advancing together, making it difficult to maintain speed. The front army was afraid of being beaten by Mengwu again.

The people plotted against each other and dared not leave the brigade too far, so the two armies gradually opened up. Xiao Hanlila was also worried that if this continued, he would be exhausted by the Mongolians. He ordered to give up the pursuit and re-form the formation, but he also

Learned the lesson and let the scouts expand their search scope so as not to be raided again.

As Xiao Hanlila expected, the Mongolians continued to appear around the marching brigade, constantly looking for opportunities to harass them, but they were unable to succeed again under the strict defense of the Western Liao army. But he was also frustrated all the way.

Tight, the bows in the hands of the Mengwu people were obviously from the hands of the Central Plains craftsmen, and the range of the bows they were equipped with was much longer than the range of the Liao army's bows and arrows, and they only moved beyond the range of the Liao army's bows and arrows, and used the good bows in their hands to kill them.

They pursued and drove out the Liao cavalry, and would never fight with them in close combat when the number was at a disadvantage.

The changes in the combat methods of the Mongolians made the Western Liao army very uncomfortable. Most of their soldiers came from Tuque people living in Central Asia. After the initial expansion of the Arab Empire, they used war and trade routes to use Arab scimitars.

It is transmitted to Central Asia, so at this time, the grassland cavalry mostly used scimitars to kill. They used the impact force of horses and the mechanics of scimitars to easily cut off the enemy's bodies, even armor and weapons.

The Turks used the combination of the mechanical principles of the scimitar and the impact force of the horse to the extreme, but at this time the enemy's tactics seemed to be specially formulated to restrain the Western Liao army, making it impossible for them to use the horse's speed and sharp swords at all.

Advantages!

Xiao Hanlila felt a crisis about the changes of the Mongols. He understood that the emergence of a new tactic often changed the outcome of the battle. Today's battle may be just an impromptu work by the Mongols after obtaining the Great Song Dynasty Bow.

There are omissions in cooperation, especially in the process of being pursued. However, the effect it produces is obvious to all. Once the tactics mature, the advantages of the Western Liao army will be greatly suppressed. Fortunately, they are now

In the early stage of exploration, I can still defeat them with my superiority in military strength...

The Western Liao army bravely moved forward under the attack of the Song army, and the closer they approached the Song army's camp, the more frequent the attacks were. Not only were there Mongolians, but also various cavalrymen such as Wang Guren. But Xiao Hanlila found that most of them were based on their original nature.

The tribe army was the main attack, and there was little cooperation between them, and their harassment did not use the Mongolian tactics. Obviously, the tribe army that followed the Song army lacked unified command and had conflicts and no communication.

Otherwise, the coordinated actions of their departments will inevitably cause great trouble for themselves.

When the Song army camp was ten miles away, Xiao Hanlila ordered the two wings to spread north and south, and he wanted to encircle the Song army and wipe them out in one fell swoop. The tribes of the Song army, who were carrying out the harassment mission, immediately discovered that the Liao army had opened its wings.

They were in danger of being wrapped in, so they did not dare to step forward and retreat quickly. The Liao army, who had lost its obstacles, accelerated the marching speed and rushed to the Song army camp. Unfortunately, they were still late, and the Song army had already retreated first.

No chance of connecting war was left to them.

Seeing that the remaining flames were still not over and the mess of the Song army camp, Xiao Hanlila shook his head with a wry smile. The old problems of the Song army in the past have not been changed! They came in a fierce momentum before the war, but they often put their hopes on

In negotiations, I hope to avoid fighting. Once the strategy is damaged, I will run away immediately and will not fight to the end. Just like the scene I saw today... (To be continued...)
