"Long live my emperor!"

The soldiers of the Chinese Army Tianwu and Longwei followed Zhao Ning and shouted.

The sound was overwhelming, rolling through the mountains and ridges, as if it was about to scatter the clouds in the sky.

The Imperial Guards on the left and right also shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

The morale of the Song army reached its peak.

Looking at the sea of ​​flags ahead and listening to the thunderous shouts, Wanyan Xiyin felt a little anxious: "Marshal, the Song Army wants to hold us back and consume us. They want to divide their troops for Shaanxi. Marshal, please think twice!"

"

"One day! In just one day, I can defeat the Song army and capture the Song Emperor alive!" Wanyan Zonghan stood on the hillside, looking at the endless Song army in front of him, and said confidently.

He does have the confidence to fight against the Song Army in the past two years. In every field battle, the Song Army collapsed at the first touch.

Of the three most capable generals, two were destroyed and one surrendered.

If anyone were to stand in Zong Han's position, they would not take Song Jun seriously.

Wanyan Zonghan said again: "Once the Song army is defeated, you immediately lead an army and march south to the Yellow River again. Chen Bianjing can't defeat Bianjing, but if the Song emperor loses, the Song Dynasty will be in chaos, and Bianjing will be trapped. Others

The Song armies from all directions will be in chaos!"

"What if the Song army can't defeat this route?" Wanyan Xiyin bravely came back.

Although Wanyan Xiyin was also from the Jurchen clan, he was a civil servant, a counselor, and an able minister in governing the country.

He does not have Zong Han's political ambitions and pressure, and his thinking is objective from the perspective of a bystander.

And Zong Han's decision was more or less a gamble.

Now the Jin army faces the main force of the Song army in front, and there are tens of thousands of Song troops in Shangdang City in the rear. It can be said that it is a pincer attack. No matter how hard the Jin army can fight, it will violate the taboo of military strategists.

"Marshal, both Taiyuan and Shaanxi need you now. If we can't defeat the Song army, we will be delayed. Once all the Song soldiers and civilians on Hedong Road go south, they will continue to attack us. Our plan to withdraw from Taiyuan north..."

"You don't need to say any more, I know everything you said."

The depth issue is that the military and civilians from all walks of life can continue to fight.

For example, a group of soldiers and civilians came over and were defeated. This group of soldiers and civilians were hurt by the beatings and would not dare to come again in the future.

But the other group had not tried the beatings from the Jin army, so it came again.

The soldiers and civilians on the second route were beaten away, and there was a third route...

This is the depth and breadth of the land, where countless scattered groups with weak combat capabilities lurk.

Although the combat effectiveness was very weak, everyone thought they could go up and give it a try before being severely beaten.

No matter how strong the Jin Army is, it can withstand several or even ten such harassments, but what about dozens of times?

Wu Shu had already tried this, as had Yelu Deguang, Taizong of the Liao Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

This is also the most fundamental reason why Wanyan Zongwang proposed to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty.

Depth, massive resources and the division between Chinese and barbarians were the fundamental reasons why the Jin State was unable to destroy the militarily weak Song Dynasty.

But Zong Han didn't believe it. With his strong military strength and brilliant achievements, he firmly supported Wanyan Gao's banner of "tiring the Song Dynasty" and "destroying the Song Dynasty".

This was also the basis for him to gain political power in the Jin Dynasty.

After thinking for a while, Wanyan Zonghan said again: "I will have a backup plan."

The Jin army's formation was set up, and the generals were very excited.

As soon as they heard that the Emperor of Song was on the other side, Zong Han's generals had already verbally captured Zhao Ning a hundred times, and even arranged a "luxurious thatched house" for Zhao Ning.

The horn of the Jin Army sounded.

They formed an orderly formation, laid out horizontal and vertical squares on the wide land, and began to advance steadily.

The footsteps of tens of thousands of troops shook the earth with a bang.

The Song Army's Middle Route Army, Tianwu Army's Second Army's infantry armor on the left wing, and the Longwei Army's Second Army's infantry armor, on the left wing, are at the front.

Wearing heavy armor, holding long spears, and hanging iron bones on their waists, they stared ahead.

There are crossbow archers from the third army of the Tianwu Army on the left wing, and crossbow archers from the third army of the Longwei Army on the left wing holding down the formation from behind.

The horns of the Song Army also sounded, echoing around.

The Song army formed neat squares. From a distance, they looked like a group of land tanks, advancing rhythmically.

The footsteps of tens of thousands of people shook the ground as if it was sinking.

Zhao Ning has returned to the main military camp.

The main military camp is located on the mountain, surrounded by the Divine Guards and the elite Dragon Guards. They set up a large formation to protect the emperor's emperor on the mountain, and a group of troops were deployed at the rear.

If the battle situation changes, you can cover and retreat safely.

At this time, the battlefield has entered the formal confrontation stage.

Sun Fu was talking too much: "Your Majesty, the Jin people are not cheating, are they?"

"How can I see it?"

"Will they use one force to pretend to confront our army, and then divide up a main force to cross the Yellow River and go south to besiege Bianjing?"

Zhao Ning glanced at him, and the surrounding officers also glanced at Sun Fu, with expressions that seemed to say: Please stop talking, Wanyan Zonghan would not be so stupid as to think that he could capture Bianjing by going south.

Zhao Ning smiled and said: "Sun Qing, it is my loss that you cannot become Zong Han's adviser."

Sun Fu didn't seem to hear the emperor's sarcasm, he looked calm.

You can't completely say that Sun Fu is wrong.

But times have changed. Before the Tang Dynasty, Zong Han could fight like this. After all, the defensive capabilities of the city wall before the Tang Dynasty were limited.

Therefore, before the early Tang Dynasty, it was not difficult to attack a city, and it was rare to say that a city could be defended for a long time.

Why?

Because the materials of the city walls were different, brick walls began to appear in the mid-Tang Dynasty, which were stronger than rammed earth.

By the Song Dynasty, many cities had brick walls.

It was even more exaggerated in the Ming Dynasty. Bricks were used on a large scale and without artillery, it was difficult to attack the city.

For example, when Jiannu went south to Nanjing, 200 heavy artillery pieces were placed in front of the Nanjing City that Zhu Yuanzhang once built. The city of Nanjing did not resist and could not resist, so it surrendered.

But things are different now. Zong Han has sent another 200,000 troops to Bianjing. As long as Bianjing does not send Guo Dashen, Zonghan's plan to destroy the city in a short time is just a fool's errand.

If you can't break the city in a short time, you can't quickly join forces. It's a taboo to divide your troops. It's easy to be defeated by the Song army one by one.

Everyone ignored Sun Fu, thinking that this guy talked about war on paper all day long. I really don't know why His Majesty the Emperor still brought him along.

The distance between the two armies of Song and Jin was shrinking.

Not long after, both sides began to use bows and arrows.

A rain of arrows suddenly rose from the army, covering the sky and the sun, like a mountain, and pressed towards the opponent's military formation.

The arrows hit the armor, making a dense "ding-ding" sound, and the terrifying impact made people tremble with fear.

Although the shooting effect is limited, it is definitely effective in affecting the enemy's morale.

After several rounds of arrows from both sides, the military formation did not waver.

The forward heavy infantry began to accelerate forward.

At this time, the horses on the left and right flanks of the Jin army began to stir and turned into torrents, rushing away like a battlefield.
