Due to the real threat caused by Yang Chongyue's musketeers, the Liao Kingdom raised 200,000 elite troops and marched southward, fighting fiercely with Yang Chongyue's troops 150 miles north of the Luan River for two days and nights. This war was the largest war between firearms and cold weapons in human history. Because the Song army was very well prepared, the 200,000 Liao troops were defeated, killing 80,000 enemies, and captives were more than 100,000. The rest of the Liao soldiers were scattered and they either took off their Liao army's clothing and fled into nearby mountains or villages or villages, or they fled north when they saw the war was unfavorable.

The Liao army commander Yelu Gu was captured, and all the generals under his command were killed and injured. The Song army also suffered some losses in the fierce battle between the two days and nights. Due to the long-term continuous battle, the explosion of the firearm in his hand caused slight losses to the Song army. The Liao army took the opportunity to rush in several times, with nearly 5,000 casualties. However, the Song army's medical system has been very perfect now. This time, many military doctors in the imperial guard system set off with the army. On average, every two hundred Song soldiers would have one military doctor and four nurses. After the rescue of these military doctors and nurses, more than one thousand Song soldiers could return to the battlefield in a short time, with more than two thousand disabled, and only more than one thousand people were killed in battle. This was one rare victory for the Song Dynasty.

After the "Luanhe War", the medical system of the Song army was verified on the battlefield, and the Privy Council also obtained more sufficient reasons to expand the medical system in the army, intending to establish a battle medical unit with an average of one military doctor and five nurses per 100 people. Perhaps in the future generations of a thousand years later, such a battlefield medical system was still very backward, but in this era, this goal was extremely grand, which also marked that all medical colleges in the Song Dynasty had to do their best and could meet the needs of the army for nearly ten years. This did not take into account the needs of the people.

Of course, with the stability of the national defense environment, the Song Dynasty will inevitably need to be disarmament. Over the past ten years, the Song Dynasty has been revoking troops. The number of the Xiang army has dropped to 200,000, and they are all chasing the Xiang army that can pick up weapons at any time. The "welfare Xiang army" in the sense of disaster relief was almost extinct after more than ten years of Xiang army military farming operations. Of course, the Song Dynasty will also gather disaster victims to move to other places every year when local disasters are affected. However, the Song Dynasty has occupied a large amount of territory through war or navigation for many years, and the land area has grown rapidly. Whether in the northwest, north, south, and south, there are a large amount of land waiting for the Song Dynasty to develop. In addition, the unprecedented prosperity of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty has made the human resources of the Song Dynasty more and more precious. Fortunately, the Song Dynasty has accumulated hundreds of thousands of slave troops through war, and the contradiction between human resources is not very prominent.

While the wing army was cut, the number of imperial guards also decreased. Because the invention of important weapons such as firearms greatly improved the combat efficiency. In addition to the continuous expansion of the Song Dynasty Navy, the army was performing minor reductions accordingly. The number was not large but it was carried out every year. Nothing was revealed among the many units of the Song army. There was about 10,000 people a year. Although the sparrows were small, they were also meaty. Moreover, the monthly salary of regular imperial guards was twice to three times that of the Xiang army. This is no wonder that the Song Dynasty court was willing to maintain the organization of the wing army of about 200,000, but it was cut in more than ten years.

There were about 200,000 regular imperial guards. On the surface, the Song Dynasty court retained the 200,000 sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the sanctions of the

The Ministry of Works of the Song Dynasty, military weapon supervisors and other departments related to firearms did not stop improving the firearms after obtaining the firearms, because the advanced or not of the weapons is crucial to combat efficiency. With a large number of qualified soldiers, if qualified weapons and equipment are provided, the Great Song army will be sharper. The muskets and cannons used by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty now have various shortcomings, and at least they are greatly affected by weather factors, so they are still working hard to improve.

Wang Jinghui also knew that it was rare to be able to make such a level of firearm with the technological level of this era. He did not have much hope for the development of firearms used all-weather. At least he was not proficient in firearms made of metal shells. The only thing he could do with firearms was nitroglycerin explosives. However, the production conditions of the raw materials nitric acid involved in this thing were very simple, and the production efficiency was really low, which made people vomit blood, and the cost was bloody, but its power made the senior ruling leaders of the Song Dynasty determined to produce less mass and strictly preserved them in Kaifeng, Bian, and not distributed to the army in the border areas.

Nitroglycerin is very unstable now. With Wang Jinghui's suggestion, when nitroglycerin is made, it is mixed with flour and the like to ensure that nitroglycerin can be stored normally. After all, the output of this thing is extremely low, and the key link is still in the production of nitric acid. The bombs produced by nitroglycerin are now much more powerful than incendiary bombs, and they are sealed after demonstration. There are two workshops to produce nitroglycerin explosives, and the monthly output is only a few dozen kilograms. Not to mention the military guiding ideology of the strong and weak branches of the Song Dynasty, even if the Song Dynasty rulers want to equip such powerful bombs to the front line troops, they must first wait for the breakthrough of production.

An important purpose of this Song-Liao war was to show the powerful force of the Song Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom, so Yang Chongyue's central army still carried 400 kilograms of nitroglycerin bombs, and the ultimate target of this batch of powerful bombs was the capital of the Liao Kingdom. Previously, the senior leaders of the Song Dynasty had no intention of using Yang Chongyue's elite troops in their decision-making. Yang Chongyue guarded the Xijin Palace in his hands, which was only 30,000 musketeers, which was also the largest number of musketeers among the border guards of the Song Dynasty.

It is also the only musketeer who was established outside the Bian capital Kaifeng. Wang Jinghui did not intend to defeat the Liao Kingdom and let other nomadic people take advantage, but he really agreed with an army from land to attack Dading Prefecture. He recommended the use of nitroglycerin explosives to leave an eternal commemoration to the walls of Dading Prefecture, and also to make this famous city outside the Great Wall a monument to the martial power of the Great Song Dynasty, which would have a strong deterrent effect on the nomadic peoples who despise the Great Song Dynasty.

Yang Chongyue's army followed this strategic goal and continued to advance northward after a war north of the Luan River, constantly defeating the scattered soldiers of the Liao Kingdom along the way. After learning about the disastrous defeat of the Luan River War, the Liao court immediately shrank its defense line and would continuously shrink the direction of Dading Prefecture in other places, trying to use the advantage of the number of soldiers to block the progress of the Song Dynasty. Welcome to Boiling @Literature

On the tenth day of the 10th day of the second year of Chengtian, the Great Song Dynasty, a battle flag with a character "Yang" stood only ten miles away from Dading Prefecture. In the 100th year of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, this was the time when the Song army was closest to the center of the Liao Dynasty's rule. From here, you can clearly see the Liao soldiers on the wall of Dading Prefecture. Yang Chongyue, who also had a century-old family feud, was even more excited. At this time, the Liao court had already left the city and fled northward and was on the way to the Liao Dynasty's side of the capital. Due to the hasty escape, a large number of convoys were blocked on the road. If the Song army could quickly break through Dading Prefecture and then go north to send cavalry to pursue it, it would definitely intercept the top leaders of the Liao Dynasty's rule.

Yang Chongyue's troops, who were already very familiar with the siege of the Great Song Dynasty, were very well equipped with all kinds of weapons and equipment and had sufficient logistics supplements, were naturally ready to go. As the capital of a country, the scale of Dading Prefecture could not be compared with Kaifeng, the capital of Bian of the Great Song Dynasty. Even the scale of Daming Prefecture was much larger than that of it. However, in such a city, there were 300,000 Liao troops defending the city. In addition, there were 100,000 people waiting for an opportunity to move on the grassland outside the city. Of course, the Liao Kingdom was still able to gather so many troops to the country. All men over 15 years old were forced to join the army. The number of soldiers was quite scary, but at this time, the weapons in the hands of Liao soldiers could not even be used as a knife, and protective equipment such as armor was even scarce. Many Liao soldiers were wearing civilian clothes brought from their homes.

Judging from the morale of the soldiers gathered around the Dading Prefecture of Song and Liao, the fate of the Liao Kingdom has already determined. The second attack on Liao in the north this time in the Song and Liao Kingdom was like oil pressing, once again shaking all the wealth that Liao Kingdom had worked hard for ten years since the end of the last Song-Liao War. However, this time the Song Dynasty was even more harsh, and even the capital of Liao Kingdom, Dading Prefecture, had to be taken down to completely attack the remaining confidence of the Liao court.

Throughout October, Yang Chongyue led the Song army to siege the Dading Prefecture. He did not think about taking down Dading Prefecture as soon as possible, but calmly cleaned up all the Liao troops around Dading Prefecture. During this period, the Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Xu, Prime Minister Wang Anshi, Privy Council Wen Yanbo, Guo Kui and Supplementary Prime Minister Sima Guang and other senior leaders of the Song Dynasty ruled also came to the city of Dading Prefecture. Only Fan Chunren, Feng Jing and others were stationed in the Dading Prefecture. Also watching the battle in Dading Prefecture were Goryeo, Dali, Japan, and Boni.

The envoys of the Tubo tribes, Chameng, Zhenla and other countries were all diplomatic envoys stationed in the Biandu of the Song Dynasty. This time they were invited to go north to watch the battle. Even the Zubu tribe, which was almost dying, sent many tribal personnel to watch the battle here. Although they were unwilling, they had to surrender under Wang Shun's blade. The female Zhijiedu governor of Tokyo Road in Liao Kingdom also sent envoys to watch the battle. They were the most embarrassing. Until now, they are still under the command of the Liao Kingdom.

All the foreign envoys who went to Dading Prefecture to watch the battle knew that this time the Song Dynasty wanted to use the power of breaking the Liao capital Dading Prefecture to intimidate them. The envoys of the Tubo tribes were the most clear in their hearts. After all, when Wang Shao attacked Lingzhou, he taught them a lesson, which caused the Tubo tribes to watch the Song army obtain the entire Hexi Corridor under their noses. If the Tubo tribes were not intimidated by the power of Wang Shao's firearms, they would take the initiative to seize the Hetao Plain with the Song army, and the Song army would

It is still unknown who will win the Tubo tribes, but the sound of firearms rumbling and explosions in Lingzhou City made the Tubo tribes choose to retreat. It was not until the Song Dynasty easily captured the entire Western Xia territory and destroyed the Western Xia Dynasty. After several years of careful governance, the Tubo tribes thought about making some small moves below. It was too late. It was because the Tubo tribes were frightened by the Song Dynasty at that time that they felt even more shameful. However, now the Song Dynasty is so powerful in military terms that they wisely chose to give in.

The process of attacking the Dading Prefecture is not unfamiliar to the high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty. Perhaps the people around him were still surprised by the power of the Dading Prefecture firearms, but the high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty had watched the Dading Prefecture firearm exercises several years ago and were not unfamiliar with the scene in front of him. Despite this, after the rumbling of artillery artillery, the city of Dading Prefecture was already full of devastation. Song soldiers dispatched four carriages to quickly drive towards the Dading Prefecture wall. After reaching the pre-determined position, they ignited the lead line and ran back quickly. The Song soldiers who were responsible for the lead line were still halfway, and the Liao Dynasty wall was flooded with yellow dust in a shocking explosion. The four carriages were loaded with nitroglycerin explosives, which was also one-third of the inventory in the Song Dynasty in the past two years.

The explosion of the Dading Prefecture wall was eternally recorded in the memorials of envoys from various countries to the emperor. The 400 kilograms of nitroglycerin fried medicine was worth it. It not only scared the courage of the Liao defenders in the Dading Prefecture city, but after a long panic, he left the city to surrender to the Song army, but also achieved the purpose of intimidating the surrounding countries of the Song Dynasty.

From the start of the Dading Prefecture siege, it took only less than three hours in total. Among the 300,000 Liao defenders, except for the 40,000 Liao troops who died in one hour of artillery attack, the remaining 260,000 Liao troops all put down their weapons and became prisoners of the Song Dynasty. This was the first time in a battle since the founding of the Song Dynasty that it had captured so many enemies in a battle.

The capture of Dading Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty was a very meaningful political event. It marked a huge change in the Far East pattern. Although it did not capture the high-level ruling of the Liao Kingdom, after this war, Liao Kingdom had completely become a second-rate country. In the future, it established its capital in Linheng Prefecture. After this war, Goryeo completely gave up on the Liao Kingdom and recognized the Dading Prefecture as its sect leader. The Nuzhi tribes of the Liao Kingdom in Tokyo Road also began to engage in annexation wars, and at the same time they were constantly in conflict with Goryeo. However, like Goryeo, although the Nuzhi tribes did not become a country as rigorous as Goryeo, each tribe gave up on the Liao Kingdom to submit to the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the Nuzhi tribes also began to plunder the remaining robbery of the Liao Kingdom.

Although the Liao Kingdom suffered great damage to the vitality of the country and lost a large area of ​​territory after the two Northern Expeditions of the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom had more than 100,000 Liao troops escorting the Liao Emperor to the north, and the Linheng Prefecture's army had at least 200,000 elite troops. Although the Liao Kingdom's elite troops could not be compared with those of twenty years ago, they still had the ability to protect themselves when dealing with the surrounding nomadic tribes. At this time, the various tribes of the Nuzhi were just beginning to show signs of unification, and there were many annexation wars between the various Nuzhi tribes. As for these Nuzhi tribes, although the Liao Kingdom was still in a state of tide, they could not do anything to the Liao Kingdom with these single Nuzhi tribes. At most, they would take advantage of it and retreat. The Liao Kingdom was limited to the weak national power and was unable to retaliate against Nuzhi.

After the Song Dynasty captured Dading Prefecture, the Song Dynasty gave up its first plan and classified Dading Prefecture as the territory of the Song Dynasty. Although it was still very difficult to manage, it was at least very good as an outpost. Moreover, Dading Prefecture was not very far from Jinzhou. After the Song Dynasty obtained Jinzhou, Wang Jinghui led the Song Dynasty's consortium to invest in the port of Jinzhou. In addition to military use, it was a commercial port for the female tribe to collect Northeast resources.

In March of the third year of Chengtian, the Song Dynasty army captured the Liaoyang Prefecture of Tokyo, which was not so much a conquering, and the Liao Dynasty lost its control over the place. Under the operation of the Intelligence Bureau of the Song Dynasty, the Liaoyang Prefecture commander Yelu Kuye surrendered to the Song Dynasty and Xiancheng. At this point, the Song Dynasty had an outpost to the northeast, and the Liaoyang Prefecture could rely on the Liao River to defend the north, and the city was also the largest and best in the Liao Dynasty's Tokyo Road, with great strategic significance. In the future, Liaoyang Prefecture could rely on Chenzhou, Kaizhou and Jinzhou as a defensive front against the female Naomen in the Northeast.

Obtaining Liaoyang Prefecture, Jinzhou and Dading Prefecture also gave the Song Dynasty the capital to control the female Nao people. The female Nao people wanted to unify, but the merchants of the Song Dynasty could sell various materials to both sides at any time. However, this kind of commercial trade was carried out under the guidance of the Song Dynasty Privy Council and the Song Dynasty Intelligence Bureau. The strong side curbed and provided limited support to the weak side. From then on, after the Liao Kingdom lost control of Tokyo Road, the female Nao people tribe living on this land did not complete formal unity. Even the slightly larger forces were arose, and no one could do anything to anyone. Until March of the sixth year of Chengtian, the Song Dynasty emperor enthroned eight female Nao people here, which completely cut off the female Nao people's desire to unify in form.

After the Liao Dynasty fled to Linheng Mansion, in June of the fifth year of Chengtian, King Yelu Yixin of Wei and Prime Minister Zhang Xiaojie launched a coup, but the Liao Dynasty Emperor Yelu Hongji was soon protected by the army and failed the coup. Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie fled to the Song Dynasty and were placed under house arrest. The 110,000 taels of gold that he secretly transferred to the Song Dynasty through Ma Renwang was confiscated and confiscated by the Song Dynasty. In August of that year, the Liao Dynasty emperor took the opportunity to ask the Song Dynasty for extradition to Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie. The Song Dynasty emperor approved his request. In October of that year, Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie were killed by the Liao Dynasty emperor Yelu Hongji in Linheng Mansion.
