Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that this is going to be a war, why should the armor be removed?Seeing that everyone hesitated, Defang was worried that it would affect Jiajun's orders, so she took off her helmet and took off the thick armor first. The soldiers saw that Defang had taken off their helmets and armor, so they immediately followed suit. Jun nodded, Jia Jun raised the imperial whip and continued to order, "Pile up the armor in front of the road quickly!"

The soldiers did not dare to delay, and immediately piled up the armor in front of the road to block the road. Jiajun ordered the soldiers to lay firewood in front of the armor, and then divided the army into two commands, each commanding 500 people, and one command lined up in the narrow road. , A few piles of fire were raised in the team, and the soldiers were ordered to tie cloth strips on the arrowheads on their backs, and the other commanded the ambush and the entrance of the pass, and then let the army rest where they were, waiting for the Liao people to come here.

Pei Ji on the other side also made sufficient preparations, ordered people to place more gravel on the wide road, and then ordered more than a hundred people to climb up the mountain with bows and arrows on their backs, and hundreds of other people lined up, holding bows. Standing with a knife in his arms, he also rested in place.

At this time, Brother Yeluxiu led 1000 cavalry into the Song Dynasty, but learned that the Song army had successfully replenished the Weilu army in Suicheng. Brother Yeluxiu was very angry, so he chased Li Jilong desperately, At the same time when the army entered the border, Yin Jilun, who was then the patrol inspector of the border customs, was leading more than a thousand infantry and cavalry to patrol the border routinely. Chasing Li Jilong was ashamed, so he didn't take Yin Jilun's [-] troops seriously at all, and led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry all the way south. If they invade the Song Dynasty in the south, if they win and return, they will take advantage of the situation to slaughter us. If they are defeated, they will vent their anger on our army when they retreat north. No matter what the situation is, we will hardly survive. The plan is, we should launch an attack to attack them afterwards. The Liao people rely on the morale of [-] elite cavalry and only want to attack the imperial army. They must not expect that we will attack them from behind. If we win by fighting hard, it will be enough to save ourselves Even if we die in defeat, we will leave behind a legacy of loyalty! No matter what, we must not sit idly by, and we must not be captured by the Liao invaders to the northern kingdom and become ghosts of the Hu land!"

After hearing this, all the soldiers were excited, their blood boiled, and they decided to fight the Liao people with the determination to die in the Song Dynasty. They raised their fists and shouted, "I would rather be the soul of loyalty than the ghost of Hudi!"

Yin Jilun immediately ordered the soldiers to feed the horses, and at night, they quickly approached Yeluxiu's army, followed them for dozens of miles, and sent someone to inform Li Jilong of his plan. Li Jilong learned that Yin Jilun had bitten Yeluxiu to death The army adjusted its troops and ordered Kong Shouzheng to immediately lead the army from light to darkness, ambush Caohe, and let the Liao army cross the river and go down.

In the evening, Yeluxiu ordered his deputy general Duotai to lead [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to march towards the mountain pass at night, and ordered another deputy general Da Yuanjiang to lead more than [-] cavalry to march towards Kuandao. He ordered the army to set up camp and rest. Yin Jilun saw that the Liao army was starting to light a fire and cook, so he ordered his horses to rest early. Looking over from the camp, I saw that the Liao army had just got up to light a fire and cook, so they ordered their horses and weapons to move quietly towards the camp of Brother Yeluxiu's army.
