background knowledge:
The ancient battle road is a military defense project used to resist the southern invasion of the Liao Dynasty in the early Northern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1,000 years and is mainly distributed in five counties and cities including Yongqing, Bazhou, Wen'an, Gu'an, and Xiongxian. , extending about 65 kilometers from east to west, about 10 to 20 kilometers wide from north to south, and covering a total area of more than 1,300 square kilometers. The ancient battle road excavated in the courtyard of an old man Liu Shujia in Wawu Xinzhuang is now opened as the "Song-Liao Border Pass Ancient Battle Road Site in Yongqing County".
The ancient battle path is constructed of blue bricks with basically uniform specifications and quality, which is highly concealed and conducive to sudden attacks on the enemy. The internal structure of the battlefield is intricate, ingenious and unique. The degree of burial is distributed in a three-dimensional manner. In the same tunnel group, or even in the same cave, there are three layers: deep, middle, and shallow. , Ancient temples, shrines, stone pagodas and shops facing the street are connected. The larger cavern is the cave for the soldiers of the Song army, with living facilities such as ventilation holes, lampstands, water storage tanks, and earth pits. The relatively narrow and tortuous passages, together with facilities such as turning eyes, bunkers, and gates, made Liao soldiers who are good at fighting immediately and accustomed to a wide field of vision. Once they enter, their bodies and thinking will be restricted, and they will inevitably lose their way. They are easily captured by the Song army. . The ancient war way often plays the role of one man guarding the gate and ten thousand men not being able to open it.
The discovery and excavation of the Song and Liao ancient battle paths in Yongqing County also filled a gap in the country's military history.
