The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1680 Battle of Tanzhou ([-])
"Protect the king and go, we will stop here, sir, it is time for us to show up for the king, tell the king that we have not shamed him." Yelu Haowu was knocked out because he saw his guards desperately protecting him , I didn't want to leave myself, so I was beaten unconscious.

"Stop them, as long as you can catch Yelu Haowu's official promotion, you will be rewarded ten thousand taels." Zhao Xu saw that the distance between himself and Yelu Haowu was getting farther and farther, so he had to use the most common encouragement means, not to mention that this trick is the most effective, because everyone can't escape this.

"If you capture Yelu alive, you will be victorious. If you capture Yelu alive, you will be promoted to rank. Brothers, what are you waiting for?"

Among the Song army, there were also those who wanted to get promoted and make a fortune. Is this human nature?

Yelu's martial arts guards were at most a hundred, and naturally they couldn't compare with the Song Army that was full of the city, but Zhao Xu saw a scene that surprised him. Soon a passage burst out.

Zhao Xu frowned when he saw this. These people were really dead soldiers, and they could also be said to be loyal people. This is a good thing. Everyone likes such people, and Zhao Xu is no exception.

"Let them go, let them go, it would be a pity if such a loyal person died here, you go to other places." Zhao Xu said with a sigh.

"Your Highness, those are important people in Khitan, and they may not be able to escape. Although his guards are brave, we will spend some time. We will be able to do it." Haowu was caught.

"He's good at swearing to catch Yelu!"

"Swear to the death to catch Yelu and be a martial artist!

……

The soldiers of the song army also shouted to catch Yelu and be good at martial arts. No matter how arbitrary Zhao Xu was, he couldn't ignore their request, so Zhao Xu could only ignore it when he thought of it, and let them act on their own.

At this time, most of Tanzhou City was already in Da Song's hands, and Zhao Xu didn't bother to take care of it anymore, so let them solve it.

"Order, get rid of the remnant enemies in the city as soon as possible, take over Tanzhou City quickly, and be responsible for fighting the fire. This will still be my Song Dynasty's city from now on."

Zhao Xu issued a few orders nearby. Zhao Xu knew that the battle here was about to end, and he would not be able to go to the front. There would definitely be a lot of opposition. At this time, Dong Zhenhai also went to chase Yelu Haowu.

The thick smoke in the city still continued, the shouts remained undiminished, the smell of charred corpses permeated everywhere, and many surrounding houses were still on fire.

But Zhao Xu didn't bother with these things at this time, and he actually found a place to sleep soundly. When he woke up, it was already high in the sun, and the battle was over at this time, and everyone gathered In the front hall, everyone was waiting for Zhao Xu.

At this time, the battle was over before dawn, and many things needed to be reported to Zhao Xu, but he was resting, so no one dared to disturb him at this time.

"Why is this? You are all here. Is it over?" When Zhao Xu got up, he was told that all the generals were waiting in the front hall. Zhao Xu came over without even washing up.

"After the end, our army won a complete victory. The 30 Liao army lost 27 and less than [-] fled back." Wang Yansheng said excitedly, this is also a big victory that has never been seen before.

If you think about it, the 30 army basically collapsed overnight, not to mention people, even 30 pigs, you can't finish killing them overnight, but now the 30 army is almost completely wiped out. What a record.

All of this was planned by Zhao Xu. In the end, many people didn't know what happened, when it was done, and who they sent to do it. These generals didn't know anything.

Even if Zhao Xu told them these things in the end, they still half-believed them, but now all these proved that the prince was right. Although the houses in the city were basically destroyed, they could be rebuilt.

But the corpses of those piles of Liao army soldiers can't be resurrected. This is the most real thing.

"I have never fought so happily in my whole life. Although it is a bit awkward, we won after all." Dong Zunhui also said cheerfully. This Dong Zunhui is not an ordinary person. Before Zhao Kuangyin was not prosperous. I want to rely on this person.

Everyone felt a little awkward, there had been this kind of fire attack before, but it had never happened like this, and there was gunpowder, the explosion at least killed tens of thousands of Liao troops, and with the addition of tung oil, nearly 10 people were all Turned into a roast pig.

This is not the end of the city gate and it was sealed by others. This is called a secret, so that the Liao army has no place to hide. If the city gate is opened wide, the Liao army will definitely escape.

"Is that all? I thought I could keep all the people, or escape some. Do you know how many years of hard work it took me to arrange these things?"

Many of the gunpowder and tung oil that Zhao Xu said were accumulated over the years, and they were used a lot in Tanzhou this time.

"Dong Zhenhai, did you catch Yelu Haowu? I remember you took someone to catch Yelu Haowu. How do you look like you didn't catch him?"

Zhao Xu turned around and looked at Dong Zhenhai who was full of frustration. No need to guess, he was not able to catch Yelu and was good at martial arts. In fact, it's not Dong Zhenhai's fault. Those guards were really fearless. , They protect Yelu, are good at fighting and retreating, even if they are dead, they will block the Song army firmly, and soon they really will not let go.

"Your Highness, we..." Dong Zhenhai really didn't know what to explain. He brought a lot of people with him, but still failed, so he asked Yelu Haowu to go back.

"Okay, there's no need to explain. Let's talk about how many people we lost. We can't always say how much Khitan lost. We should have lost a lot, right?"

There is no such thing as taking advantage of a war and not suffering a loss. Although there was such a big battle last night, although it was well prepared, the Song army should have suffered a lot of casualties.

Sure enough, Zhao Xu's heart was still tense when he heard that. There were countless casualties, and five to sixty thousand people died directly.

To sum it up, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. Those generals are quite happy because they won. They pushed the battle line all the way to Gubeikou and firmly controlled Gubeikou. The results are gratifying.
