"I already know the weakness of that strange formation." Brother Yelvxiu said this without any clue at the beginning of the meeting.

"What is it?" The generals below couldn't wait any longer. After all, this day's battle was a torture for them.

"I discovered that one of the biggest flaws in their formation was the lack of rotation. Although the Song army was not in a small number, there were only a few people who could actually execute that strange formation."

After hearing Brother Yelu Xiu's words, the Liao generals seemed to have come to their senses. There were really only a few people executing that strange formation, and the remaining infantry never added to the formation.

"Also, although the bamboo tube in their hands is extremely lethal to the horses of our cavalry, it seems that it is a one-time thing and is gone after being used. Judging from these circumstances, if we charge directly with a large army

If we go in, it will be easy for one wave to directly wipe out most of them. But if we use small waves and small waves, we will have a chance of winning."

…

The Liao army had already found a way to deal with the Song army's star formation, but Zhao Weiji was not a fool either.

"Brother Yelvxiu may have seen through the shortcomings of our star-spreading formation." In the same scene, Zhao Weiji also said this in a confused way just after he sat down.

"Actually, I don't think Brother Yelvxiu has directly found a way to deal with the Star Spreading Formation, but he has found a way to deal with our army." Zhao Weiji quickly added.

"What's the difference?" Hu Yanzan, who was sitting at the bottom, didn't quite understand what Zhao Weiji's words meant.

Before Zhao Weiji could explain, Li Jiguang spoke: "I think Brother Yeluxiu has noticed that our army has two shortcomings. The first is that the consumables of the muskets cannot be used continuously. The second is that our army sees

There seem to be a lot of people, but in fact there are not many people who can execute the star scattering formation. If Brother Yelusiu resorts to wheel warfare, our men will be exhausted sooner or later."

"Well, what Yuan Jing said is exactly what I want to say. By the time Brother Yeluxiu threw in the third wave of troops in today's battle, our side was already somewhat unsustainable. I guess Brother Yeluxiu had already seen this problem.

, will not hesitate to use refueling tactics to gradually increase the number of troops."

"Then what should we do? We will definitely still be the same people tomorrow. If Brother Yeluxiu decides to start a wheel-and-wheel war without any hesitation, we will be eaten alive by him." Hu Yanzan was really worried.

"Brother Yeluxiu, does he think I only have this Star Spreading Formation? Can Uncle Xin assemble those things tonight?" Zhao Weiji was still very confident.

"It should be no problem." Xin Zhao replied from the side.

"That's good, come here and look at the map. You can bring people here tonight to assemble things, and then wait until the war starts tomorrow."

"As ordered." After saying this, Xin Zhao turned around and left the tent.

The next day, it was the same place again, and the two armies started to confront each other again.

"Brother Yelvxiu, today I will keep the head of Yu Yue from the Liao Kingdom." Before the war started, Zhao Weiji arrogantly started shouting at Brother Yelvxiu.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Brother Yelvxiu didn't have any violent reaction when he heard Zhao Weiji's arrogant words. Over the years, he has wanted to kill many people. What is the final result?

"Let's begin." Brother Yelvxiu ordered to his lieutenant general.

Soon the Liao army formed a square formation in an orderly manner and began to charge towards the Song army's position one after another.

"Sure enough." Seeing the charging formation of the Liao army, Zhao Weiji understood that Brother Yelvxiu had indeed seen through the formation's weakness, not the formation's, but the army's.

"Let's act as planned." Zhao Weiji also gave orders to his subordinates.

So the Song army set up the star scattering array as usual.

In this way, the two armies had their first contact. After the two armies came into contact, Brother Yelvxiu immediately noticed something strange. The operation of the Star Spreading Formation over there for several days was obviously not smooth.

It turns out that in order to make up for the shortage of personnel, Zhao Weiji incorporated a large number of "new recruits" into the Star Spreading Formation. Although "veterans" brought these "new recruits" into the Star Spreading Formation relatively quickly.

However, since a considerable number of "new soldiers" enter the formation, the tacit understanding of the soldiers in the formation and the smooth operation will naturally be compromised.

Although the operation of the formation was compromised, because the Khitan soldiers were divided into the star-spreading formation, the Song army now had a numerical advantage, and the numerical advantage made up for the lack of operation.

"If you want to make up for the shortcomings in this way, don't think too easily of us in Daliao. The whole army must assemble and go together." Although the strength of the troops has increased, the operation of the formation has been compromised. In this case, how can such an operating formation be possible?

It could withstand the attack of the Liao army.

Following the issuance of Brother Yelvxiu's order, the Liao army began a general offensive.

"Here we come." Chen Ran reminded Zhao Weiji on the side.

"Let's take action." Zhao Weiji also saw that the Liao army was launching a general attack.

Following Zhao Weiji's order, Chen Ran next to him took out a musket and fired a bullet into the sky.

After the bullet reached its highest point, it suddenly exploded, and then a burst of red light accompanied by smoke emitted.

Seeing the red light, the Song army began to retreat decisively and orderly.

Seeing the Song army begin to retreat, Brother Yelvxiu couldn't figure out what was happening, but then a UFO appeared in the sky and attacked his own army.

It turned out that Zhao Weiji dismantled five catapults and five bed crossbows and took them out with the army when he came out of Yuzhou in order to prevent changes.

Last night, he asked Xin Zhao to take people with parts to a hilltop not far south of the Zhuolu battlefield to assemble all the equipment.

The signal flare just now was also made by Zhao Weiji. This signal was for Zhao Xin to start taking action, and all the fighting Song troops retreated.

After seeing the signal, Zhao Xin, who had been preparing for a long time, decisively ordered the launch. In this way, the "artillery" flew towards the Liao army accompanied by blunt arrows.

The Liao army was caught off guard and was directly hit by these things, and a large number of soldiers died on the spot.

"What the hell is this thing?" Brother Yelvxiu, who had been on the battlefield to the east, had never dealt with this kind of thing, so he didn't pay attention to it for the moment.

But Brother Yelvxiu soon realized that as long as the army dispersed, the chance of being hit would be reduced, so he decisively ordered the army to disperse.

But just as he dispersed the army, the second signal flare from the Song Army was also launched into the air. Immediately afterwards, the attack from the top of the mountain stopped. But the other troops of the Song Army began to attack in full force.

Both sides know that this is the final battle, and success or failure depends on this.

In this way, the entire Liao Army and Song Army were fighting in one place.

Since the impact of the Liao army's cavalry was immediately reduced after they dispersed, and the combat effectiveness of the Song army's soldiers was also uneven, so now the two armies were evenly matched.

When the two armies were fighting, Li Jiguang met Brother Yelvxiu.

Since learning martial arts, Li Jiguang has always been eager to fight with a real strong man. Last time he gave up the fight with Yelu Mo for victory. Now he unexpectedly met Yu Yue of Liao Kingdom. How could he let go of such a golden opportunity.

Without saying anything, Li Jiguang drew his gun and stabbed Brother Yelvxiu straight at him.

Brother Yelvxiu was also unambiguous and directly blocked Li Jiguang's spear thrust with the spear in his hand. But from this round of confrontation, Brother Yelvxiu could tell that Li Jiguang was not a mediocre player.

He had always felt that Wada Jujin's last battle was a bit unviable and unenjoyable. Now that such a good fighter is coming to his door, he will naturally not let it go.

The two fought for more than sixty rounds and still couldn't decide the outcome, but the situation of the battle began to change. Since the Liao army had suffered losses before, the morale of the Song army was now strong, so the balance of the goddess of victory gradually began to tilt towards the Song army.

.

Slowly, the Song army began to form connections between various points in the chaos, and once such connections were formed, it meant that the Khitan army was about to fail.

Although he was fighting with Li Jiguang, Brother Yelvxiu still had control over the battle situation. Knowing that the Liao army had begun to lose its battle, Brother Yelvxiu decisively did not hesitate and immediately seized a small flaw in Li Jiguang and eliminated it from the battle.

Pull away and walk away.

As soon as he distanced himself, Brother Yeluxiu decisively turned around to find the messenger. When he found the messenger, he immediately asked the messenger to blow the retreat horn.

The remaining Khitan soldiers did not want to fight and immediately chose to retreat.

Although Li Jiguang wanted to pursue Brother Yelvxiu, the Khitan soldiers who shot out of the surroundings blocked his way forward, so he had to give up the pursuit.

Facing the retreat of the entire Khitan cavalry, the Song army was unable to catch up, but the victory on the Zhuolu battlefield did belong to the Song army without a doubt.

After the victory, Zhao Weiji returned to the military camp and began to inventory the casualties. The results were not optimistic. Although the Liao army was defeated, the Song army also paid a heavy price.

But from now on, the war on the east and middle battlefields has basically come to an end. The Song army no longer has the ability to advance northward and can only retreat to Yuzhou City, and Brother Yelvxiu has no ability to aid the west or go south.

Just when Zhao Weiji led his troops back to Yuzhou, he received a battle report from the western battlefield.

When he saw the battle report, he suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning and froze on the spot. The battle report showed that Pan Mei and Yang Ye's West Route Army were ambushed in Datong Prefecture, and a strange force, General Yang Ye, appeared on the battlefield.

The troops were defeated. Erlang of the Yang family was killed in battle.

The West Route Army is now besieged in Yingzhou City, but since Yingzhou has been defeated long ago, they may not be able to hold on for long.

"What is this strange army? There has never been any record of such an army in history. Brother Yelvxiu, who was supposed to go to the west for reinforcements, has been intercepted and defeated by me."

This unexpected force gave Zhao Weiji a huge blow. It turned out that despite all calculations, he was still missing a move. For the first time, he felt that his historical knowledge sometimes limited his vision.

But it is useless to think so much at this time. The most important thing is to lead troops to rescue the West Road. The fastest way to rescue the West Road without passing through the war zone is to cross the foothills of the Taihang Mountains.

But new problems arose.
