According to the official historical material "Three Dynasties Beimeng Huibian": Zong Han's troops arrived, he first warned the soldiers and warned them of good fortune and misfortune: "Those who meet the enemy will be rewarded by their descendants! Those who retreat will have their wives killed! Maybe they will perform extraordinary feats."

, I will definitely know Gao Jue!"

In other words, the children of the murderers who escaped yesterday will be killed and their wives will be confiscated.

Under such iron-clad military discipline, the Jin Army's military discipline was by no means lax.

Therefore, at the turn of the Song Dynasty, the Jurchens were absolutely invincible, which is not a lie.

On the contrary, during the Zhao Ji era of the Song Dynasty, meritorious deeds were not rewarded, and delinquencies were blamed.

Zong Han's military discipline was indeed strict, but what about Yue Fei?

How is Yue Fei's military discipline described in history?

It’s easy to shake a mountain, but it’s hard to shake the Yue family’s army!

The Jin Army was like a huge roc, spreading its wings across the vast fields.

Zong Han was like a fierce dragon, and those golden troops were like an extension of his willpower, and they surrounded Yue Fei's tribe on three sides in an orderly manner.

The forward of the Jin army was heavy infantry similar to infantry armor, half of which were composed of Jurchens, some of which were Khitan and Bohai people, and a small number of Han people.

Many Jurchens in the early years of the Jin Kingdom experienced the era of being enslaved by the Liao Kingdom.

Their daily routine involves farming, hunting in the forests of white mountains and black waters, and even fighting wild beasts.

You can definitely call them a fighting nation. Even the Russians who came later were really not comparable to them.

These people are tall and strong, generally over 1.8 meters tall.

They were wearing iron armor and had fierce eyes.

If any one of them stood up and walked on the streets of Tokyo, the people around him would shy away.

As for the Khitans, their average height is almost the same as that of the Jurchens.

These people living in the north are affected by severe cold all year round, and coupled with their living habits, they will indeed be taller than those in the south.

Needless to say, Bohai people are also natives of Liaodong.

There are some kidnapping horses distributed on both wings of the Jin army, and these kidnapping horses are on the outside.

If the Song army's scouts came to investigate, they would not see their true appearance. They might mistakenly think that there are many on the two wings, but in fact they are not many.

One thousand on the left and one thousand on the right.

"Report!" The scout quickly sent the latest information, "Commander Yue, the Jin army has set up military formations on the left and right in front of our army. The main force of the Jin army has horseback guards on both wings, and the front army is infantry armor!"

Yue Fei asked: "Are there any other arms?"

"There are crossbowmen, but no other troops have been found yet."

"Is Commander Yue worried that Zong Han is hiding something?" Xue Bi asked.

"I'm not sure, either." Yue Fei was about to say something more, when Yang Zaixing came back.

"Shuai Yue!"

"You quickly gather five thousand cavalry on the left wing!" Yue Fei said firmly, "Wait for my command. I need you to defeat the Jin army's right wing no matter what the cost!"

"The last general takes command!"

Not long after, the earth-shattering sound of war drums came from the Jin army formation ahead.

The horns echoed in the sky, and the air seemed to be burning.

Niu Gao rode his horse and ran to the front.

He shouted loudly: "My sons, Zong Han is right across the street. Whoever gets Zong Han's head, I, Lao Niu, will personally reward him with a thousand gold coins!"

As soon as he said these words, everyone in the Song army immediately became excited.

The crowd shouted: "Take Zonghan's head! Take Zonghan's head! Take Zonghan's head!"

The Jin army on the opposite side also shouted. Although the Jurchens spoke Jurchen and the Khitans, Bohai and Han people spoke Chinese, tens of thousands of people shouted, and the sound rolled over the fields like huge waves, even those hiding on Fenglong Mountain.

Everyone can hear it.

"Send the order to Niu Gao, forward defense, don't move rashly!" Yue Fei stood on the commander's platform, his eyes fixed on the Jin army's formation.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he was vaguely aware that something was going to happen today.

The Jin Army's forward began to slowly advance forward, and the sound of countless footsteps echoed around.

Suddenly, some burning fireballs shot up from the Jin army's formation.

Those fireballs drew a large arc in the air and hit the Song army's formation.

After it was smashed down, a small-scale explosion occurred, and the broken iron fragments inside burst out and impacted the Song Army's armor.

Those who were closer, the armor was even penetrated.

However, it is limited to a half-meter radius from the blast center.

After all, gunpowder technology in this era was not developed, and the raw materials were more expensive than gold, plus there was no supporting manufacturing system and theoretical basis.

The upper limit is very low.

How did the Jin army have artillery?

In the perception of many people, the Jin people are a group of savages wearing animal skins.

In fact, the Jin people inherited most of the heritage of the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom absorbed a large number of Han craftsmen who fled north during the Five Dynasties period.

The Liao Kingdom not only had a gunpowder foundation, but its iron smelting technology was much stronger than that of the Song Dynasty.

In addition, in the first year of Jingkang, Zong Han sacked many important military towns in Hebei and plundered countless Song craftsmen to go north.

It can be said that the Jin Kingdom in the first year of Jingkang was not inferior to the Song Dynasty in terms of technology.

The officers of the artillery battalion of the Song Army received the order and galloped to the artillery camp on horseback: "Load up the artillery and let the Jin Army have a taste of our power!"

The huge stone cannon was pushed onto the stand on a cart, covered with tar, and ignited into a raging fire.

In an instant, more than thirty huge artillery pieces appeared in the sky, like meteorites falling from the sky, dragging their tails of flames and swooping down towards the Jin army.

The power of the artillery this time was much greater than that of the Jin Army's trebuchets.

After it fell on the Jin Army's formation, dozens of shocking blood stains were immediately torn out.

Even a military formation only a few dozen meters away from Zong Han was attacked, and screams could be heard.

Even the war horses around seemed restless.

Zong Han was shocked and said: "Song's trebuchet can actually throw it so far!"

This really shocked Zong Han.

When the Song army came in the second wave, Zong Han's heart had sunk to the bottom.

If the fight continues like this, although the casualties will not be large, the military formation will be plowed into a mess, which will have a great impact on the morale of the army.

Sure enough, when the second wave came down, the soldiers were blown away a little in the places where they were hit.

The people around looked frightened. If it weren't for Zong Han's military orders, they would have turned around and ran away.

Even so, fear began to appear on the faces of the Jin Army soldiers.

Zong Han looked gloomy and roared angrily: "When did the Song Army's trebuchets become so powerful? Why has no such information ever been received?"

No one could answer his question. After all, Hui Hui Pao was one of Zhao Ning's top secrets.

If this had been known to the Kingdom of Jin earlier, many cities in Hebei might not have been saved.

For example, when Wanyan Sali attacked Taiyuan, if there was a retaliation, even if Wu Jie flirted with her from the north, he would not pay attention.

Because just by using the return artillery to blow down Taiyuan City and take Taiyuan as your own, you can cut off Wu Jie's retreat southward and force Wu Jie to death in the Daizhou area.

Therefore, the advancement of military technology has brought about changes in tactical logic.
