Chapter 1535

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and then it was to capture prisoners of war, and wait for the fire in Ningbianzhou City to be extinguished, and it took a full day and a half to wait.

When the Song army soldiers entered the city of Ningbianzhou, they only had broken walls and some things that were burned into coke-like and unrecognizable.

Standing above the city and looking at Ningbianzhou, where only the intact houses in the north, Deng Heng couldn't help but smash his mouth and sighed with great emotion.

"If you want to repair and restore this city, it will probably take a lot of effort."

"That's not our business. As the Great Song Hu Ben, what we need to consider is how to severely damage our enemies at the lowest cost." Zhao Xingyong sniffed and began to issue new orders.

In addition to leaving the 500 border troops to guard the prisoners of war and the 500 border troops to protect the mortars, two thousand musketeers and two thousand border troops quickly rushed to the north gate along the city walls on both sides of Ningbian Prefecture, closing the open city gate.

He sent a messenger to take the fast ship to go upstream, trying to inform the famous northwest general Ningbianzhou that he had all the good news for our Song Dynasty before the Zhe Ke army arrived at the Jin Su army.

At this moment, Zhe Kexing, who had set out almost two days in advance, led his army to the west bank of the Yellow River. Two hundred miles ahead was where the Jin Su army was located.

The military rule of the Heqing Army has been established for more than a hundred years, and the city has undergone many renovations and reinforcements, making it possible for the city to accommodate more than 3,000 households and 15,000 people.

However, for the Khitan, a nation that mainly focuses on grazing, only the nobles of those tribes and the defenders of the Heqing Army were living in the city.

Only a small number of business travelers, as well as some slaves and servants who served these tribal nobles and Khitan warriors, lived in the city.

As for the people of the Khitan tribes, they all live outside the city, and they must always watch their wealth: cattle, sheep and horses.

In recent years, since the Xixia people were forced to cut off large areas of Hetao, this place has become the back garden of the Khitans.

The fertile land can be cultivated and grazed, and the climate is far warmer than the vast grasslands in the north. The Tuliuyu tribe has now become the owner of this land.

However, such a large and plump grassland naturally cannot be all part of one tribe. Even if the Tu Liuyu tribe is one of the eight ancient tribes of the Great Liao Dynasty, now, after hundreds of years of rise and fall, it can only be considered a big tribe, far from being as good as that of the past.

Before the founding of the Great Liao Dynasty, the Yelu family of the Diesh tribe emerged and served as Yilijin, the Khitan tribe for generations, and its authority was rising. Until the Khitan Hende Khan died in the third year of Tianyou (906 AD). Yelu Abaoji no longer chose Khan from the Yaonian family.

However, he had already taken over the Khan's flag and served as the Khan of the Khitan tribe. From then on, Khitan tribe elected and transferred to the Yelu family of the Diesh tribe.

After Abaoji became the Khan, he originally followed the Khan selection system. Once the Khan position was transferred to a family, then the adult men in this family had the chance to be Khan.

However, in order to ensure his lifelong position as a khan, Yelu Abaoji of Liao Taizu refused to give up his sweat position in the year of re-electing.

His younger brothers decided to force him to conduct elections, and the three famous "Brother Rebellions" occurred in history. Abaoji finally suppressed all the dissatisfaction forces in the Yelu clan, but after internal stability.

The other seven tribes were very unhappy. After all, the eight tribes were all Khitan tribes, so why could you, Yelu, become Khan? With the help of Shuluping, Yelu Abaoji lured the leaders of the seven tribes to come to the Yanchi to attend the banquet and successfully killed the seven tribes who admired the appointment.

This is the famous Yanchi Incident in history. After clearing these opposition forces and unifying the eight Khitan tribes, in the first year of the Shenche of Liao (916 AD), Yelu Abaoji finally became emperor and established Northern Liao.

After that, Yelu Abaoji and the emperors of the Liao Kingdom all dynasties would enfeoff their sons and establish tribes, making the Yelu clan the largest tribe of the Khitan.

However, these ancient tribes were all sent to remote areas to guard the Great Liao. The only thing that could be thankful was that after more than a hundred years of filthy and weak Xixia decided to surrender and ced more territory to the Northern Liao, the area finally gained peace. Whether it was Tu Liuyu or Yishi tribe, it could finally maintain health.

But today, it became a little different. In the north, a group of demons covered in strange blood-red armor appeared. They did not use swords or bows or crossbows.

Apart from the range of the crossbow, he sprayed blue smoke. Every time he sprayed a mouthful of blue smoke, there would be a crisp sound, and then a hero would tragically fall on this fertile soil.

Well, in fact, it was just the Khitans who made up their own mistakes, because when the muskets of the Song Dynasty were shooting, they would aim, and the muskets would naturally be very close to their cheeks. As a result, these ignorant Khitans regarded them as demons who sprayed blue smoke.

As the Heqing Army was in charge, Yelu Lade, the head of the Tuliuyu tribe, and Yelu Yindishi, the general of the Heqing Army, looked at the obviously frightened reporter.

"How many of them are there? Are they from Xixia or barbarians more than the north?" Yelu Shide looked at the incoherent guy and couldn't help it. He rushed forward violently and slapped the guy hard and then asked sternly.

Finally, the reporter who was beaten to wake up finally became much more organized.

"They have at least 10,000 or 20,000. Yes, they have a lot of horses, at least 10,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 10,000 or 20,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,000 or 10,

"By the way, they set fire to our forage and drove away all the horses from our tribe."

"Come, take him down and lock him up alone, don't let him talk nonsense." After seeing that Yelu Shide could not ask anything again, he ordered him to be imprisoned and then turned his head to look at his nephew, Yelu Yindishi, the commander of the Heqing Army.

"What do you think? This is the fourth person to report the news. He came from the north. Could it be that something happened in the north?"

Yelu Yindishi sat on the animal skin with a general's belly, tightened his eyebrows, and shook his head in confusion.

"It shouldn't be possible. A few days ago, a merchant passed by our Heqing Army from Shangjing. He said that Shangjing Road was very safe and there was no friction with the northern barbarians."

"That's the Xixia people. Only they bordered us. It is very likely that the despicable Dangxiang Manzi was treacherous again and wanted to regain this land."

"I don't know exactly what this... is going on, my nephew, but the Heqing army rule is the key to my Great Liao in the north of Hedong Road. My nephew cannot be easily released. In this way, General Yelu Deshi, you lead two thousand elite cavalry and check it northwest to see what kind of person they are, and they dare to appear in the sight of my Heqing army."
