The long-distance fighting sounded in the ancient Youzhou. Jixing scattered into Youzhou and divided into Yan State. It refers to the northern Taiyin, so Youming is called it, one of the ancient Jiuzhou and the Thirteen Generals of the Han Dynasty.

Youzhou is called by the Han people, while the Liao people called it Xijin Prefecture.

The army of the Song Dynasty had already divided into three groups. The left vanguard led by Di Qing had reached Liangxiang. After receiving Zhao Zhen's order, the right vanguard led by Cao Wei bypassed Xijin Prefecture and led his troops north to Miyun, Tanzhou.

At the same time, Zhao Zhen's central army had already reached Gaoliang River, the defeated place of Taizong's northern expedition...

As long as Zhao Zhen goes north, it is Lu County, which is the Tong County of later generations. It can be seen that this place is less than ten miles away from Xijin Prefecture.

Under such a large army, the entire Xijin Mansion was in danger, as if it would be swallowed up by the Song Dynasty in an instant. The entire Xijin Mansion had three lines of defense, and the outermost one was a simple line of defense powered by Feihu City, Guiyi City, Yongqing and Wuqing.

These cities are not large in number, but the value is that they are close to each other and can help each other. Moreover, the cities are built later, all of which are high and deep, and are generally difficult to break through, in order to hold the enemy's footsteps.

But unfortunately, they encountered the Song army carrying artillery. The damage to the city walls and fortifications was far greater than that of ordinary artillery. The huge projectiles were the nemesis of the city defense, and the Song Dynasty did not need a complete city wall. It just needed to unplug the strongholds, and it had its own sixteen guards who had been rushing from the country to take over the city defense and construction.

The artillery, a product that transcends the era, suddenly appeared on the land of Yanyun. The Liao people didn't know how powerful it was. Even if there were rumors, they would sneer at it. How could there be a siege equipment like a blow from the gods? If it were really, why didn't the Song Dynasty use it earlier? I have never heard of it?

As a result, the entire city defense of Nanjing Road turned into powder wherever the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty went, which also made the original military important towns Fanyang and Gu'an easily captured by the Song Dynasty.

The huge mortar suddenly retreated backwards with a roar like drought thunder and was then snatched by the metal claws. He jumped wildly on the ground before calming down. Zhao Zhen's ears were already beeping, and he kept buzzing. He just came to check it out. Who could have thought that the sound was so huge?

After pursing his ears, Zhao Zhen looked at the city wall in the distance, and the huge shells hit head-on with a shrill roar. The projectiles of this kind weighed dozens of kilograms, and they would be even more ignorant under the influence of gravity acceleration...

A huge impact sounded, and the world seemed to have changed color. The bricks and stones on the city wall splashed into sharp murderous weapons. Zhao Zhen's face shook violently. Even he was scared when he saw such a powerful mortar.

This is the power of civilization, this is the power of technology, and Zhao Zhen was glad that the Song Dynasty mastered this terrifying power.

The power of a shot was so terrifying. Before the Song Dynasty could enter, the gate of Anci City not far away was opened. This was the first time since the Song Dynasty's attack, the Liao people took the initiative to open the door to meet the enemy. It seemed that they knew that the city could not be defended.

Without Zhao Zhen's words, the army naturally operated normally. Faced with the fierce Liao cavalry, the Central Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty began to charge. They were all elites in the Beiwei army and were mainly responsible for protecting the emperor. When someone came to charge, they would not show mercy.

The fire virtues of the Song Dynasty were based on red. When the army conquered, these elite cavalry were divided into bright red cloaks, which were usually used as clothes to protect the cold and keep warm. Once they went to the battlefield, they not only increased their momentum but also formed an effective commanding role. The army's large formation can clearly see their position in order to support or attack.

The bright red cloak and shiny plate armor all show their might and elite. The plate armor, as the armor with the best protective performance, showed its toughness to the enemy, and was stabbed out by a long knife. If the speed was not enough, it could not penetrate it.

If a blunt weapon hits it, it will be absorbed by the protruding diamond patterns and arc design. Except for the shock of the internal organs, it is basically fine. With just a few breaths, the sword in Beiwei Army easily harvests the enemy's life and will not give him a second chance to hit him.

The Beiwei Army was like a tiger, charging forward without any pause. The weapons in their hands flew up and down again and again, taking away fresh life. It would not slowly stop advancing until they killed the enemy formation and then rushed back.

The cavalry and infantry of the Liao people could not withstand such a strong charge, and the Song cavalry could not lose any loss, but they were killed or injured. Under such high-intensity battle, many Liao people began to collapse, and the desire to survive slowly defeated their persistence and glory. The situation against the wind is always the most difficult to fight.

Seeing that the cavalry had already exerted the momentum of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen pulled out his sword without hesitation, and turned over and started charging. In an instant, the entire Song Dynasty central army began to fight forward like crazy, and even showed a desperate attack. But even so, the Liao people still had no advantage. The Song Dynasty's armor was too exquisite. The long sword was better to cut it up, and the worst thing was that it could only leave a white mark. At this time, the sharp horizontal sword in the Song people's hand would pass through their leather armor. It was easy and quick.

The imperial guards had no choice but to fight to the death, and they were not crazy. The officials took out the Emperor's Sword and rushed forward without even calling him. If they were slow and inadequate, they might make the officials face the enemy directly!

You should know that this battle is a battle with a large number of people. Once the official family enters the battle formation, no one can imagine the worst result. Xia Shuo is crazy and kills the surrounding Liao soldiers. Even his personal soldiers have to hide from him. At this time, the Xia army is the most hideous and terrifying.

Zhao Zhen's dragon flag was raised high, and for a momentum, the army of the Song Dynasty seemed to have taken stimulants. Its momentum was raised and a crazy fight began. No one knew where Zhao Zhen's eyes were looking, but they knew that as long as they fought bravely, they would be seen by the officials.

Isn’t it a great thing to protect the government and obtain military merits? Maybe you can take advantage of this opportunity to soar into the sky, right?

During this period, everyone has a preliminary understanding of the emperor. It is true that loves soldiers like children. The official family, which is high above the nine heavens, can actually sit with the soldiers. Looking at the campfire, Imagine the future of the army returning to the court. Who should get married and have children when they go back, who can reduce the taxes when they go back, who can change the official price when they go back, etc. These are all things that the official family loves to talk about.

To put it bluntly, even if there is no responsibility to protect the official family, the soldiers will sacrifice their lives to protect Zhao Zhen. Who would have to let him die in such an official family?

This is not to be said about a scholar who dies for his confidant. Zhao Zhen's every move made them truly feel their position in the hearts of the officials. Who dares to say that they are thieves and soldiers? Who dares to say that he is a fighting man? No matter what others think, they are warriors in the hearts of the officials, and this is enough!
