Zhao Fan led more than 15,000 soldiers in a mighty manner and marched towards Haizhou. With such a strong army and horses, it was impossible to hide it from others. Moreover, Haizhou had received news from Wanyan Sabu very early and knew that the Song army had landed. Later, he
I heard the news that Wanyan Sabu was defeated and the Song army conquered Pizhou.
Haizhou guard Wu Guangda was shocked and hurriedly mobilized his troops to prepare for the battle.
However, there were only 5,000 defenders in Haizhou at this time. If they wanted to compete with Zhao Fan head-on, their morale and strength would be far behind the Song army.
Faced with such a situation, Wu Guang was anxious and kept asking: "Why hasn't the imperial court sent reinforcements yet? I don't know how General Wanyan is doing now?"
While Wu Guang was thinking about it, he had already made up his mind to defend the city in Haizhou, hoping to receive reinforcements.
At this time, a counselor Zhang Heng came to see him. He said to Wu Guang: "General, I have a plan to defeat the Song army."
Wu Guangda was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Sir, if you have any clever ideas, please tell me quickly."
Zhang Heng said: "General, our army can set up an upright division and compete with it. If it wins, it can take advantage of the situation to cover up and establish a victory. If it loses, it can retreat in time. When retreating, our army will leave gold, silver and copper coins along the way.
, when the Song army saw it, they would loot it and cause chaos in their formation. At this time, our army suddenly came back and defeated it in one fell swoop, beheading its general."
When Wu Guang heard this, he felt it was justified and was overjoyed. He praised: "Wonderful, wonderful, sir, your plan can withstand a hundred thousand soldiers. When this battle is over, I will definitely report it to the Ming court and ask for credit for you."
Zhang Heng's strategy made Wu Guang see the opportunity and couldn't help but be very excited.
Zhang Heng was quite proud when he saw that his opinions were adopted, and he longed for the day when he would be promoted to a noble rank by the imperial court.
Soon, Zhao Fan entered Haizhou. He headed towards the city of Haizhou and came to a hilly area. At this time, Wu Guang had brought five thousand gold soldiers and three to four thousand strong men waiting here.
"Report to the general, fifteen miles ahead, there are more than ten thousand golden soldiers lined up in battle formation, seemingly waiting for a decisive battle with our army."
Soon, the Song army's scouting horse reported the situation to Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan sat on the horse. After hearing the words, he took out the map and looked at it. He saw that this place was full of hills and forests, which was not suitable for the Jin cavalry charge.
In this way, if the Jin soldiers take the initiative to fight when there are few people, there must be something fishy.
"If we continue our investigation, we must find out whether there are any enemy troops within a radius of thirty miles."
"Yes, General."
Then Zhao Fan ordered the army to slow down their march and march slowly.
It was another period of advance, and there was another report from the scouting horse, saying that no enemy troops and horses were found within a radius of thirty miles. Zhao Fan was determined. In this case, if the Jin soldiers have any strategies, feel free to use them. I, Zhao Fan,
What to fear?
Then Zhao Fan ordered the army to accelerate forward.
Soon, Wu Guang's men appeared in front of Zhao Fan. Wu Guang was proud and pointed at Zhao Fan and said loudly: "Zhao Fan, you are just a minor official of the Song Dynasty. Do you think you can destroy the Jin Kingdom with your own strength?
?You are daydreaming!
Today you provoked a war between Jin and Song. If you are defeated tomorrow and the situation is unfavorable to Song, your emperor will definitely kill you and offer your head to our country of Jin to apologize. Don’t you know the death of Han Kanwei?"
At that time, Han Kanwei launched the Northern Expedition, but the war ended in failure. In order to appease the anger of the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty, under the conspiracy of the powerful Prime Minister Shi Miyuan, secretly killed Han Kanwei and sent Han Kanwei's head to the Jin Kingdom to apologize.
Finally, the war between the two countries was temporarily calmed down.
"snort."
When Zhao Fan saw the enemy general's flag with the word "Wu" flying, he snorted coldly, pointed at Wu Guang and said: "I guess you are Haizhou guard Wu Guang. Wu Guang, as a Han Chinese, you speak Chinese and wear Han clothes.
Han rites, but your allegiance is to the Jin Kingdom, the enemy of the Han people!
Do you know that a hundred years ago, the Jin Kingdom invaded the Song Dynasty, killed my ancestors, plundered my property, and occupied my land. Your ancestors must have been harmed by this. What do you think of your behavior today? How can you meet your ancestors underground?
Lie Zong?
There was a righteous man named Li Zhi in Pizhou. He was loyal and brave, and never forgot his homeland. He once contacted my general to secretly raise an army with the intention of jointly overthrowing the tyranny of the Jin Kingdom. Unexpectedly, he failed and his whole family was killed. However, his loyalty can be demonstrated by heaven and earth, and can be learned from the sun and the moon.
, I have already expressed my merits to the officials, but looking at you today, you are more different than him!"
After some questioning, Zhao Fan changed the topic and said: "The war between you and me has not yet begun, and there is still room for maneuver. As long as you surrender and submit to your motherland, I can guarantee to the officials that you will retain your official position and your status."
Change."
"Hahaha,,,"
How could Wu Guang be moved by Zhao Fan's few words? He burst into laughter and said, "Zhao Fan, don't talk nonsense. In today's battle, I will let you know what the power of the Jin Dynasty is!"
After that, Wu Guang gave an order and ordered his general Ji Yanke to lead two thousand troops and take the lead in charging.
Ci Yankeqi was from the Jin Kingdom. He was tall and strong. He was holding a huge ax and rushed towards the Song army.
At the same time, Wu Guang also ordered archers to shoot arrows to provide cover for Yan Keqi.
Facing Wu Guang's aggressiveness, Zhao Fan was naturally not afraid at all. However, in order to prevent Wu Guang from having any conspiracy, Zhao Fan did not send out his entire army. Instead, he sent his general Xu Chi to lead an army of three thousand to fight the enemy.
This Ciyan Keqi was indeed a powerful general. When the two armies were fighting, he held a big ax and slashed at the Song army in front of him like a giant spirit god.
I saw him drop his ax and directly chop down all the Song soldiers. His momentum was majestic. In just a few blinks of an eye, five or six Song soldiers were hacked to death by him.
When Xu Chi saw this, he was furious. He clamped the horse's belly and ran towards him. Two of his confidants also followed closely behind him to help him.
Soon, Xu Chi and the others were fighting with Ci Yankeqi. Xu Chi shouted loudly: "You brave thief, let's see if your grandfather's sword is sharp!"

Xu Chi was not afraid of the power of Jian Yan Keqi, and the horse-killing sword in his hand roared, "Clang, clang, clang,,,"
Ji Yan Keqi held a giant ax to block, and there were several clang collisions, sparks flying, and the two sides fought. Ji Yan Keqi was strong in body and strength, and had the upper hand.
Fortunately, Xu Chi had two of his subordinates to help him fight. In this way, the three of them fought hard with Ji Yankeqi, and finally suppressed Ji Yankeqi's momentum. He was beaten back and forth, trying to escape.
Looking at the entire battlefield, after the battle of Pizhou, the soldiers of the Song Army were full of morale. Facing the Jin soldiers, everyone was brave and fearless of death. The Jin soldiers who only killed were retreating steadily, and their momentum was completely lost.
Wu Guang was sitting on the horse, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but tremble with fear in his heart.
Wu Guangxin said since when did the Song army stop being afraid when seeing the Jin soldiers? And since when did the Song army become so powerful in combat?
