The two finally parted in disagreement due to uneven distribution of the spoils.:.../

However, the army serves politics, Yun Zheng is still very clear about this.

Since Yelu Yixin encountered Wang Anshi and Wen Yanbo last time, he has never been to the military camp. He just sent some staff to discuss, and the intention of delaying time is very obvious.

Therefore, after the activity of keeping the emperor's mourning for the Nine Heavens without using swords and weapons, Lang Tan's left-wing army slowly advanced towards Guanshan on the right side of Tongtou Pass.

This is the guard barrier of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation. If Guanshan is lost, the right wing portal of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation will be opened, and the entire Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation will be exposed naked under the eyes of Song Jun. At that time, Song Jun can attack the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation from that direction.

The left-wing Song army dealt with the right-wing Liao army, and the left-wing Liao army was not idle either. The famous Piss army appeared in front of the Song army for the first time.

The Pishi Army is the emperor's personal guards. Everyone is carefully selected. They are eight feet tall, have wide arms and round waists, and even have requirements for appearance.

Such people are actually not very suitable for being cavalrymen. Because of their height and weight, the burden on the war horses under their crotch is very heavy, which reduces the time for continuous combat.

However, this flaw is not a big problem for the Piss Army. They think that no army can hold on until the war horses are tired under the charging of the Piss Army.

Yun Zheng didn't believe much about this, and of course, Jiang Zhe didn't believe it much.

There are too many cavalry formations that charge like a sea of ​​storms. Now even civil servants like Wen Yanbo and Wang Anshi can maintain a calm state of mind when they see the horrific scenes of large-scale cavalry charges.

Seeing that the Song army's Eight Niu Crossbows and Crossbows had already begun to move, Wang Anshi said loudly to Yun Zheng: "General, this battle must hurt Yelu Yixin, he must return to the negotiating table, and he must come to see me with the geographical map album of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the household registration list."

Yun Zheng glanced at Wang Anshi depressedly without answering, and continued to stare at the battlefield, but he was looking at Lang Tan on the left and was not very interested in the Liao people on the right.

If Jiang Zhe could not even hold on to the cavalry charge of such strength, he would have been in vain for so many years in the western Beijing army.

However, Lang Tan on the left faces a serious problem. The terrain of Guanshan is dangerous and is the only high ground in front of Tongtou Pass. Yun Zheng needs Lang Tan to take down Guanshan and then put the cannons on it. This can expand the range of the cannons as much as possible.

Seeing that Lang Tan's attack did not achieve the desired effect, Yun Zheng was a little anxious. Guanshan was too high and was not suitable for artillery shooting, because its height had exceeded the maximum uplift angle of the artillery. Moreover, the terrain near Guanshan was complex, and the heavy artillery could not be transported there in a short time. Only after defeating the Guanshan defenders, a special road was built to transport the artillery.

Yun Zheng was very dissatisfied with the performance of the crossbow. He brought an elastic rope to throw the gunpowder bullet in his leather pocket at all. He tried to eject it a few times just now, and the gunpowder bullet fell on the hillside and exploded for a while.

A brave soldier was carrying gunpowder, flying wooden rocks and dense rain of arrows, trying to cross the stone wall, and blowing up a wide enough road for the army, but was shot and killed by the Liao people's archers one by one in that not open gap.

Lang Tan personally carried a cannon with a large crossbow gun projected from the Eight Cow Crossbow to approach the close-up shooting, and for this he had to remove anything extra on the cannon except the wheels.

He succeeded. The cannon could not shoot to the top of the mountain, but could avoid the surrounding obstacles and explode the small gap.

The smoke of gunpowder was filled with smoke from Guanshan Mountain. After Lang Tan built a simple artillery position, he continuously used artillery to clear every obstacle on his way forward.

As a result, the battle on Guanshan Mountain was in full swing, and the Liao people continued to support Guanshan from behind. No matter how many Liao people the Song army killed on the mountainside, more Liao troops would appear in that place in a short while.

Wen Yanbo and Wang Anshi's focus was different from Yun Zheng. The Liao cavalry under their feet was rushing towards them like a wall. The nervous and exciting scene made them forget the focus of this battle, staring at the right without blinking.

There was a dense layer of triangular thorns on the ground. When the cavalry arrived here, they were like a tide hitting an invisible wall, and the war horses neighed and fell to the ground. They fell on this open space of a hundred steps apart, and the sharp triangular thorns quickly pierced into their bodies. The screams of both the cavalry and the war horses almost covered the cavalry's rushing sound.

The key point of cavalry combat is the momentum of moving forward. No matter what kind of obstacles are in front of them, they have the determination to break them.

Yun Zheng just glanced at the battle situation on the right, and saw that the Liao people were still charging forward in habit. Jiang Zhe's crossbow had already begun to show his power, and the battle situation was settled, so he focused all his attention on the Guanshan Highlands.

Since Chen Lin learned that the emperor passed away, there has been no smile on his face. Apart from supervising the movements of the army, he no longer cared about anything. Yun Zheng, Wang Anshi, and Wen Yanbo all knew clearly that Chen Lin was actually dead at this time.

The brigade of the brigade was carrying soil to fill the trench at the foot of the Pass Mountain that had been broken by Langtan. The trench had been filled in deep. Langtan's subordinates were passing through the trench. There were occasionally stones thrown by trenchers, and there was no threat.

Yun Zheng's flag was right opposite Guanshan Camp. Yun Zheng did not move, and Yelu Yixin on the city gate did not move either. His flag was hanging in the middle, but people didn't know where it was. Since the Xiao Dahu and Hongzhou tragedy, no general from the Liao Kingdom was willing to expose himself to Yun Zheng.

The left and right sides were fighting in full swing, but the central army was very quiet. Yun Zheng did not take the initiative to attack the frontal city gate, and Yelu Yixin did not challenge him.

This is a tentative attack and defense, neither Yun Zheng nor Yelu Yixin will invest all his troops at this time.

The weather on the grassland changes as soon as possible. The grassland, which was originally clear and clear, became dark clouds after a gust of wind blew over.

Yun Zheng sighed and ordered the monkey: "Get out!"

Lang Tan heard the sound of the golden gongs to withdraw the troops, looked at his exhausted subordinates and said, "When you withdraw to the foot of the mountain, the artillery will still be fired continuously to suppress the Liao army on the mountainside. We will come again tomorrow. I don't believe it, and I can't take this small mountain bag."

Almost at the same time, the Piss Army, who was struggling in the rain of arrows, also received an order to return to the army, and after leaving a large piece of corpse, it fled back to the camp.

"This rain is not the time!" Wen Yanbo sighed.

"It's very troublesome. This rain came very strange. I heard people say that there would be a kind of rain on the grassland called joke rain. Today I've seen it."

Yun Zheng looked at his subordinates who were cleaning the battlefield in the rain and said to Wen Yanbo regretfully.

"What is joke rain?" Wang Anshi was very embarrassed to ask.

"Just Rain shouts about rain, meaning that as long as the noise you make is more important, it will rain in this place."

"Nonsense! This is the realm of the Dragon King."

Yun Zheng looked at Wen Yanbo who was disdainful and smiled: "You have been on the corpse of luxury for the rest of your life, so how can you know these secrets hidden among the people?

Rain is not the realm of the Dragon King. Anyone who is a peasant woman can make rain in the kitchen. As long as she is a child, she can create rainbows in the yard on sunny days. When I was a child, I often boil water in the kitchen. After the water vapor fills the house, I open the door. After the cold wind blows in, a small rain will be created. As long as I hold water in my mouth and spray it hard in the direction of the sun, a small rainbow will appear."

Wang Anshi was impatient with Yun Zheng always quarreling with Wen Yanbo and then interrupted: "What's the rain here? If the Liao people could really call rain, it would be very unfavorable to our attack. After all, the gunpowder in our army is very prone to moisture."

He was always particularly patient with Wang Anshi Yunzheng, pointing to the opposite side of Guanshan and said, "There is a lake on the south side of Guanshan, which is the lake we use as a water source. This lake is not big, but the water temperature is very high. We don't feel the cold when we wash our hands with lake water.

The water temperature is high, and the evaporation volume is very large, so the grass and trees in Guanshan are extremely prosperous. Now it is the time when the earth is rising. The water vapor after the lake evaporates will be blown into this not-so-large valley by the south wind. The valley is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and opposite is a tall copper-touguan built against the mountain. Therefore, the water vapor stays here. After reaching a certain critical point, as long as there is a huge sound that shakes the tiny water droplets and mixes with some flying dust, it will make the water droplets bigger and eventually turn into visible raindrops falling down."

Wang Anshi shook his head directly and said, "I don't understand what you are saying, but looking at you, you don't seem to be joking. Why does it rain and I don't care? I only care whether there will continue to rain when fighting tomorrow?"

"No, look at the rain today, the water beads in the air have been almost released. It will take some time to accumulate, so it won't rain tomorrow."

After hearing what Yun Zheng said, Wang Anshi stopped asking questions and dragged Wen Yanbo to his account to discuss how to obtain Yanyun’s household registration book.

When they returned to the camp, the generals were somewhat depressed. This was the first war that the western army fought since entering the grasslands, which did not achieve immediate results.

Therefore, all the generals were a little angry, constantly complaining before the general arrived, and even canceling Lang Tan, who was in charge of the battle. (To be continued.)
