Knowing that the Guaizi Horse had not been able to quickly penetrate to the rear of the Song Army, all the main forces of the Song Army were dispatched. Wanyan Bali quickly launched a full-scale attack.

If the forward is defeated by the Song army, the Jin army is likely to retreat quickly.

After the main force of the Jin army was replaced, the war expanded again.

Miraculously, the Goryeo Army on the Jin Army's side was beaten to pieces by the Song Army's cavalry. They cut back and forth several times, causing a huge rout.

The Koreans on both sides are surprisingly consistent.

The fighting lasted until the afternoon.

After many repeated attacks, Guaizima had lost many people, but even failed to break through the Song army's defense line.

At this point, the endurance of both parties was clearly at its limit.

Many Song soldiers were already frozen to death in this cold winter of more than ten degrees below zero.

The battle situation of the Chinese army was even more tragic.

First, the Song Army's forward was suppressed and beaten, and then the main force of the Song Army rushed up and beat up the Jin Army's forward. Then the main force of the Jin Army came up again, turning the entire battlefield into a meat grinder.

On the battlefield at this time, countless broken limbs and broken bodies were piled up like mountains.

The armies and battalions of both sides collapsed, some collapsed, some were annihilated, and some continued to fight tenaciously.

Both sides were stunned, and were completely numb under the impact again and again.

But until now, Song Jun is still holding on.

This gave Jin Jun a headache.

Because the real combat strength of the Jin Army is only 10,000 people, and the rest are unreliable Koreans.

If it continues to be consumed like this, how will we fight next?

The Jin army was forced to start calling for gold and retreating.

The Song army did not pursue them because they could not pursue them anymore.

As for the bear Hu Yantong, the armor on his body had countless scratches, and even the armor on his arms was broken.

Large areas of blood dyed his helmet red, dripped from the helmet and turned into ice, which looked very strange.

There were corpses all around.

After it was confirmed that the Jin army had retreated, the follow-up troops in the city organized people to rush out for rescue.

However, both sides obviously did not take it lightly. Some troops were stationed in their respective positions to prevent the other side from sneak attacks.

It was not until dark that the wounded were rescued back into the city.

In the Jinjun camp, firelight danced.

Everyone was working hard to count casualties without taking a break.

By midnight, the casualties of the Jin army were counted.

Two thousand two hundred and sixty-four people were killed in the battle, and as many as 3,503 were injured.

During the war, some Muke tried to escape before the battle, but were killed by those behind them.

This was an extremely brutal war.

Shi Jian said: "The most important thing is that our cavalry failed to break through the Song Army's defense, resulting in a fierce battle between the main force and the Song Army's main force."

He seemed not to want to dampen the atmosphere and added: "The casualties of the Song army must be higher than those of our army!"

"So what?" Wanyan Balisu said with a sullen face, "The Song army is defending the city and has Kaijing for backup and supply. Our army is deep into Goryeo. Once there is a problem with the morale of our army and the Song army discovers it,

It’s going to be troublesome.”

Now it is even more impossible to talk about siege of the city. The Eight Ox Crossbows set up by the Song Army on the city are no joke.

"The Song army suffered more casualties than our army. I feel that if we make a battle tomorrow, as long as the Song army dares to fight, we can completely defeat the Song army. The Song army does not know our situation!"

Wanyan took a deep breath and nodded.

The battlefield is like this. Both sides in the battle have no vision of God, and they will not casually call the person who makes the decision a fool.

The Jin army did not know the situation of the Song army at this time, and it was equally impossible for the Song army to know the true situation of the Jin army.

As long as the Jin army goes to fight tomorrow, the Song army will definitely think that the Jin army still has a strong foundation.

As long as the Song Army accepts the challenge tomorrow, it may mean that its foundation is really strong, but it may also collapse directly.

After all, no one can guarantee victory in every head-on battle.

Jin Jun still has to try this possibility.

The next day, the Jin army went to fight.

The Song army did not come out.

On the third day, the Jin army went to fight.

Song Jun still didn't come out.

On the fourth day, the Jin army continued to fight.

The Song army continued to fail to come out.

Although Zhang Qing made a wrong decision on the battlefield, it was obvious that he made all the key decisions correctly.

Since the siege of the city by the Jin Army, the Song Army has been cut off from food supply. At this time, the Song Army cannot wait, because once the delay continues, the food in the city will gradually decrease, which will affect morale and even order, which will be detrimental to the Song Army.

You can’t count on Han Shizhong to come to the rescue, right?

You just came to Xijing with 20,000 horses, and then you turned around and asked the commander-in-chief for help?

What's the use of having such a subordinate?

After experiencing a bitter battle, Zhang Qing asserted that the situation on both sides had changed.

The Jin army suffered a lot of casualties and could not stay deep in one place for a long time.

After all, the Jin army went all the way south, attacked many Goryeo capitals, and accumulated a lot of hatred.

Hatred is such a thing. When you are strong, everyone is afraid of you and dare not act recklessly. Even if you punish others at will, others will only dare to swallow your anger.

But once your strength weakens, those who hate you will start to test you. If they find that you have really become weak, some people will dare to jump out and cause trouble.

The current situation of the Jin Army is not dangerous, but it is not optimistic either.

The two sides began to confront each other like this.

At this time, Zhang Qing also began to send military reports to Han Shizhong, reporting on the basic battle situation in Xijing.

In this head-to-head confrontation between Song and Jin at the end of the seventh year of Jingkang, neither side took advantage, and concluded that they were evenly matched.

However, judging from the detailed reports, there is still a gap between the frontal field combat capabilities of the Song Army and the Jin Army.

This gap is normal. How many years has the Jin Army been fighting?

How many years did it take for the Song Army to rise again?

It would be abnormal if there is no gap.

On December 28, seeing that the seven years of Jingkang was coming to an end, Zhao Ning couldn't help but sigh.

Time flies so fast!

In the blink of an eye, it has been six years since I came to Song Dynasty.

He concluded that he had done a lot in the past six years.

For now, the internal affairs and military affairs of the Song Dynasty have been strengthened to varying degrees.

But only to varying degrees.

It is not so easy to truly restore the glory of a country plagued by all kinds of diseases.

Many outstanding people in ancient and modern times have racked their brains to make the empire under their governance unprecedented, but how many have succeeded?

This also proves that it is extremely difficult to make a country strong and prosperous.

Zhao Ning, who had finished writing "Dialectics", had already started writing "The Wealth of Nations".

"Dialectics" is a philosophical work that enables humans to clearly understand the world. It is an indispensable thinking logic for the development of theoretical science.

But it alone won't work.

"The Wealth of Nations" written by Zhao Ning combines Adam Smith and Taoist ideas.

That’s right, it’s Chinese Taoism.

In fact, throughout human history, there are two magic weapons for the rise of the British Empire: the first is the steam engine, which represents productivity; the second is "The Wealth of Nations", which represents the formation of a modern division of labor system.

Only with a division of labor system can the potential of the state machine be fully unleashed.
