On the banks of the Sanggan River, Zhaojiabao is close to it, and it has been in chaos for several days, with fireworks everywhere, and a sound of killing is shaking the sky!

Wu Haogu had already used a hard village to circle the southeastern sides of Zhaojia Fort, and there were water ships and ships on the Sanggan River to the west. Only a hole in the north was left for Xiao Baoxian to command the Liao army!

Xiao Baoxian was also anxious and actually came up with a stupid way to make fortresses and trenches against trenches. He brought a group of Jingzhou soldiers from Xijin Prefecture City and the northern part of Wuqing County, as well as nearby Yutian County. He asked them to build trenches on the north side of Zhaojia Fort to stop the Song army's trenches from continuing to advance.

Since the Liao soldiers were also trained to dig trenches, then Wu Haogu's "Dao War" has started. The trick to fighting "Dao War" is too simple. There are two, one is to have cannon fodder; the other is to have cannon fodder!

There is no shortage of cannon fodder on both sides. Xiao Baoxian had a mobilization system for Nanjing Road in Liao Kingdom, and he could act as cannon fodder by forcing the troops in Jingzhou.

Wu Haogu is rich! He can spend money to hire soldiers, and can also equip the hired soldiers with cheap paper armor or slightly better leather armor. He also controlled half of the territory of Wuqing County. Not to mention the extra ones, tens of millions of strong men can always be hired quickly.

As for cannons, they have not been officially invented. However, the crossbow cannons (actually the mobile eight-niu crossbow), counterweight catapults, etc., are not difficult for the weapons and shipyards of Jiehe Shang City. Wu Haogu also has enough engineers to control them correctly.

In addition, the weapons room opened by Xuanfu Department in Jiehe Shang City also continuously produces gunpowder and various incendiary bombs for the new army's engineers.

Xiao Bao took the lead, there were also eight ox crossbows, stone generators that were pulled by ropes, and of course there were gunpowder.

But it does not mean that there is any usefulness! Even the handicrafts in Jiehe Market, even the corners of the Hebei provinces and the schoolyards in the Song Dynasty, were dug up without any discussion. Will they let the good craftsmen of the Liao Dynasty Xijin Prefecture and Fengshengzhou Longyan Tieshan stop digging?

Therefore, the rise of Jiehe Commercial Handicraft Industry destroyed the official handicraft industry in Hebei and Nanjing Road, Liaoning.

Therefore, this "stupid battle" was fought south of Wuqing County and opposite the Sanggan River (Wuqing County is in the west of Sanggan River and Zhaojiabao is in the east of Sanggan River), causing heavy losses to the Jingzhou soldiers under Xiao Baoxian.

With the support of bursting rockets, fireballs, stone bombs, and other miscellaneous things that can be used to project. The Song army cannon fodders, mainly the small local tyrants in Wuqing and the strong men from tenants, went one after another, and launched wave after wave of offensives against the Liao army's trenches and fortresses.

After a few days of offensives, all the trenches and fortresses outside Zhaojia Fort were captured by the Song army! The Liaoguo Palace guarding Zhaojia Fort had no choice but to break through the county town and Xiaojia Fort to the north.

But as soon as they left Zhaojia Fort, they were attacked by the Song army cavalry who had been waiting for a long time! Nearly 3,000 armored cavalry were divided into 27 100 cavalry teams, and they attacked in turn. They soon broke down and were used as cannon fodder halls. Then they chased the Liao Palace branch troops who were running in a hurry, and chased them to Xiaojia Fort more than ten miles away. Along the way, there were dead people and horses, discarded baggage, and there were also numb sitting in the wasteland, with wide mouths open, watching the tall Song army armored cavalry chasing the Jingzhou soldiers of the Xijin Prefecture of the Great Liao Heavenly Soldiers. The Song army did not seem to have the intention to capture them, but just dispatched the light cavalry responsible for the local rich children of Nanwuqing to drive them away.

The news that the Daliao Heavenly Soldiers were defeated by the commander of Wu Xuan of Jiehe will be spread by these Yandi Township soldiers, and will be well known to everyone in Yandi!

"Supervisor Xuan, it seems that nothing is right! The Liao army was personally ruled by Yelu Yanxi, so how could it be defeated so easily? Since the Battle of Zhaojiabao, the Gong Branch Army that appeared on the battlefield at the same time did not exceed 5,000 cavalry, and there was not even one armored cavalry! If the Liao army did not launch a counterattack, then Yelu Yanxi would definitely not be in Wuqing County!"

Since the beginning of the Battle of Zhaojiabao, Zhao Zhongge, who has personally controlled half of the iron cavalry and is ready to fight against the Khitan iron cavalry, has finally realized that Yelu Yanxi is no longer on the battlefield in Wuqing County.

This general who was relied on Mount Tai by Wu Haoguyi was actually brave but lacked in strategy. Or rather, he was a technical rather than strategic general. He could easily deal with how to organize a cavalry general or an infantry general, how to arrange troops on the battlefield, and how to attack or defend according to the squad.

But it would be impossible for him to make an accurate judgment through clues! Today, the Liao army was defeated in Zhaojiabao, and 27 teams of Song army cavalry chased to Xiaojiabao city, but they did not see the Liao armored cavalry attacking. Moreover, in recent days, the number of Liao tyrants who were sent out to fight as far-distance horses encountered by the local Wuqing tyrant horses was expected to be two-thirds less. This made Zhao Zhongge realize that the Liao master Yelu Yanxi had already left the Wuqing battlefield with some of his men!

Wu Haogu, who had just climbed the city wall of Zhaojiabao with Brother Zhao Zhong, listened to this analysis and his joyful look on his face disappeared, "What? What? Yelu Yanxi led his troops to Dingzhou? Is he crazy? He doesn't want Xijin Mansion?"

Brother Zhao Zhong frowned: "How can Xijin Prefecture City be so easy to fight? The tall and thick city walls are there, and there are 5,000 permanent Khitan soldiers in the city. The battlefield in Wuqing County can be retreated for thousands of Khitan troops, and the Khitan defenders can all be obtained. The city has sufficient food, grass and weapons reserves. If there is no internal support, we can only build camps outside the city and make long-lasting plans."

There are actually internal forces. Wu Haogu spent ten years in the united front of the Yan tyrants. How could there be no internal forces in the city of Xijin Prefecture? But the problem is that most of the military power mastered by the Yan tyrants who were pro-Song Yan tyrants were with the guards. The troops left in the city of Xijin Prefecture were not large enough to fight against the 5,000 Khitan soldiers who were left behind in the city of Xijin Prefecture. Not to mention that a considerable number of Khitan soldiers on the battlefield of Wuqing would retreat to the city of Xijin Prefecture.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Wu Haogu to quickly capture the city of Xijin. Instead, he can take advantage of Yelu Yanxi's opportunity to lead the main force to leave the battlefield of Xijinfu, and push the front line outside Xijinfu, and build a large camp between the Gaoliang River and the Sanggan River. As a large base to attack the city of Xijinfu in the future!

"Then Dingzhou is not that easy to fight." Wu Haogu smiled, "Zhong Fu brought two more generals into the city. There are five generals in Dingzhou City, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers alone. If it were considered the auxiliary soldiers and Ding Zhuang who could participate in the battle, there would be no problem with the city wall of 30,000 people. The Khitans would not really fill a city with corpses and blood, right?"

"Of course not," Zhao Zhongge shook his head, "We are about to advance outside Xijin Prefecture City. Yelu Yanxi always needs to keep some strength to fight us.

But...will the five in Dingzhou City not go out of the city to fight the Khitans?"

"No, no, Liang Zimei and Zhong Fu have such courage?" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "And Xuanfusi had already issued a military order to prevent them from leaving the city to fight."

Brother Zhao Zhong smiled, "Don't worry... Supervisor Xuan, the officials suggested that you no longer have to approach Wuqing County by step by step. You can send 20,000 infantry and cavalry and assist troops, and 30,000 civilians and 30,000 civilians to bypass Xiaojiabao and along the Sanggan River, and then build a night city at the intersection of Sanggan River and Gaoliang River, and build a floating bridge. Then, you can cross the Gaoliang River and enter the Sanggan River and Liangjiang River, and then build a large camp in Hejian to see the city of Xijin Prefecture. During the period of our army's construction, most of the defenders of Wuqing County and Xiaojiabao can force the troops of Wuqing County and Xiaojiabao to move towards Xijin Prefecture. Maybe you can still fight outside Xijin Prefecture!"

"Okay! What to do!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "As long as the Hejian camp is 10%, Yelu Yanxi will never stay on Dingzhou Road."

...

"Go out, go out of the city to fight the Northern Territory? This is not OK. I just received an order from Xuanfusi to defend the city and not fight in a vain. I cannot disobey the military order!"

In Dingzhou City, the inner hall of the Fusing Office, Liang Zimei's head was shaking like a wave drum. She also said that she could not disobey Wu Haogu's military order... It made Zhong Fu, who had just arrived, feel a little amused and crying.

"The Grand Secretary, it is the will of the officials to gather the troops of the five generals to go out of the city to fight the decisive battle!"

"Official, official family!" Liang Zimei frowned. The official family wanted to fight. Wu Hao, ancient Wushu Xuanshu, who should he listen to for comfort?

"Wife," Liang Zimei thought for a while, "the official family is far away in Kaifeng Prefecture, and I don't know the situation in Dingzhou. This, this Liao army is so powerful! There are everywhere outside Dingzhou City, and it can't be defeated..."

How could it be powerful? Zhong Fuxin said that he had more than 10,000 troops and only had a few thousand soldiers, and he had no obstacles along the way. He was monitoring the Han cavalry of the Liao Kingdom along the way.

However, the villages and towns on both sides of the official road were all in tragic trouble. They were looted for livestock, food, money and cloth, and some young and strong people were caught to carry the life. I don’t know if they could be released. However, there was no massacre. It seems that it is beneficial for the Liao people to recite the Buddha too much. When Zhong Fu Dajun passed by, they met the elderly, weak, women and children who cried and robbed the sky and the earth.

So Zhong Fu also investigated along the way and found that those who were shooting grass valleys near Dingzhou were all Han'er, and there were no real enemy. Moreover, those Hans from Liao had no plans to stay for a long time, because they had no trees to cut down to create siege equipment. Without the construction of equipment, it was naturally impossible to attack the city.

They planned to go back after grabbing one! Now that I have almost grabbed it, it’s time to go back. If I don’t go back, I should go to Xijinfucheng to grab it... Oh, it’s not to grab it, but it’s even more ruthless! It’s Wuhaogu who went to Xijinfucheng to speculate on land and houses! The housing prices in Yanjing are as expensive as Kaifengfucheng! By then, all the little tycoons in Yandi can’t afford to buy a house and will marry a woman!

Just as he thought of this, a military opportunity beside Zhong Fu walked in quickly and muttered a few words in Zhong Fu's ear. Zhong Fu immediately laughed: "The Grand Secretary, the scout sent by the lower officials came to report that there is no trace of the Liao people near Dingzhou City!

The Liao people are retreating!"
