Three consecutive days of super scorching heat, followed by three days of torrential rain, tortured the more than 10,000 Jin soldiers outside Suzhou City to the point where they lost 90% of their lives.
Therefore, six days later, after Feng Zhou had removed all his spells, and Xin Qiji led two thousand people to the Jin Army camp, he was surprised to find that only a few hundred Jin Army soldiers could still stand with guns.
But even these hundreds of people, after seeing Song Jun, all fell to their knees:
"We surrender!"
"I really can't stand it any longer!"
"I want to surrender, I want to surrender!"
"Surrender, surrender!"
As a result, Xin Qiji easily seized a large amount of supplies without sacrificing his sword or shot.
In this battle, out of the Jin army of more than 10,000 people, only 5,000 were alive, and only 400 to 500 of them were still standing.
Most of the Jin people have one person and two horses. Now, only more than a thousand of the 20,000 horses can barely stand up.
Large areas of golden warriors and golden horses fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. Even if they were not dead, they were not far away from death.
So Xin Qiji's two thousand troops became soldiers handling the battlefield.
It took three full days of work to dispose of the large number of dead bodies.
You must know that it is already June and the weather is gradually getting hotter. If not dealt with in time, it is very likely to cause a plague.
After the corpse was disposed of, Feng Zhou looked through the telescope and saw the Jin army commanded by Pu San Zhongyi.
The vastness filled the sky and the fields, and there were at least tens of thousands of people walking at the front. They moved slowly towards Suzhou City without saying a word, and seemed to be pressing towards Suzhou City with a desperate momentum.
These Jin people have no cavalry, not even a horseman, and no equipment. They only have simple weapons in their hands, and even hoes and hatchets. Perhaps a few days ago, they were ordinary people, struggling to live a dying livelihood, but
Now, like a group of zombies, they came to Suzhou City, waiting for the irresistible fate of death.
The regular troops of the Jin Kingdom were at the end, pushing forward slowly and keeping a distance from the people who were driving in front. There were cavalry on both sides to protect the two wings, so that they did not have to worry about the people who were driving away escaping.
To collapse, there is no need to inflict backlash from others and attack one's own array.
"Driving the people of our own country as the vanguard, aren't these servants of loyalty afraid of the uproar in the country?" Someone beside Feng Zhou shouted in surprise.
The scouts of the Song Dynasty had already collected enough information to know that the gold lord Wan Yanyong had led the imperial army southward, while the troops south of the Yellow River were commanded by Pingzhang political minister and deputy marshal Pu San Zhongyi to resist the Fengzhou Northern Expedition.
After the Song army captured Suzhou, he sent He Shiliezhining as the vanguard and commanded 10,000 troops to rush to Suzhou to contain the Song army. He personally led an army of 130,000 people and came from behind.
Unexpectedly, in just six days, the Song army had completely wiped out 10,000 Jin vanguards without spending a single soldier. Heshi Liezhining was captured alive by the Song army and is currently lingering in a cell.
Everyone thought that the Jin army was coming with great momentum and would attack the city with its main force, but they didn't know that they would play such a trick.
I heard that the benefactor, Wanyan Yong, governed the country with Ren Ci, but this servant San Zhongyi knew it and still did not treat the people under his rule as human beings.
It can be seen that in the eyes of their Jurchen nobles, the Han people living in the Central Plains are just like beasts and not worth mentioning at all.
Feng Zhou thought about it in his mind and gave the binoculars to the people around him, letting them look at it one by one.
Then asked: "What did you find?"
"Commander, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom seem to be a little confident. Are they so sure?" Li Xianzhong asked doubtfully.
"Not only the Jin army is like this, but also the common people are too cooperative." Wang Chongyang said.
"These gold thieves, do they think they are sure of victory?" Pang Yong said.
Feng Zhou said calmly: "What you said is correct, so let's take another look and order everyone to prepare for the battle!"
"yes!"
The clouds in the sky slowly approached, and the wind seemed to have stopped.
Feng Zhou was condescending and scanned Suzhou City. At this time, preparations were completed on the city wall: the heavy crossbow at the top of the city had been cocked, the suspension bridge at the city gate was strung up, the archer had the ring ring on his finger, and the arrow was set on it.
On the string; the shield hand places the shield in front of himself to form a shield wall at any time.
The sharp weapons and artillery in the Song Dynasty's army were also pushed up the city wall, and they were ready to fight.
Feng Zhou has been in control of this unit for more than half a month and is slowly making them aware.
He wanted to build this army into a cultured "Yue Family Army" and transform the entire Song Dynasty.
Various measures were taken to eliminate evildoers in Fengzhou, rectify strong enemies outside, strictly enforce military discipline, and teach writing. In just this month, the soldiers of the Song Army have undergone slow changes.
Especially among the Tianwu Army under his direct control, many people have become calm and calm, with firm eyes and a sense of confidence. Some even have a strong soul in them, like the soldiers of the Di Family Army, Han Family Army, Zhong Family Army, and Yue Family Army
It's like being possessed by a soul.
They are not fighting alone.
So they have become determined and fearless.
Three miles away from Suzhou City, the Jin people lowered their positions. They stood silently, as if waiting for orders. This situation was very strange.
"Commander, does the Jin man have some back-up plan or some secret plan?" Xin Qiji pondered and asked.
Feng Zhou couldn't help but frown.
After experiencing the era of General Jiang Bin, and having a talk with Zhuge Liang, Feng Zhou's military strategy level is still very high, but after all, he is devoted to cultivating immortality, so he has done less research on military strategy, and he did not guess for a while.
Find out what the enemy is doing.
But it doesn't matter, since you can't guess it, let's test it out.
Feng Zhou smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Thunder is coming!"
"Boom!"
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and a thunderbolt as thick as a big tree struck straight down from the sky and struck towards the Jin Kingdom's front army.
It's just a thunder. In front of a large formation of tens of thousands of people, it actually has little effect. Even blowing up the camp seems not enough, but the purpose of sealing the boat is just to scare people.
With a thunder from the ground, it fell into the Jin Kingdom's formation, killing several people alive.
However, the front army of the Jin people trembled at the sound, and they were obviously panicked for a while, but the rear army did not move at all. They only restrained the front army and prevented them from running around, but they did not organize themselves into a team.
"It seems that the main force of the rear army has been prepared for a long time. Even my thunder is not frightened. It seems that there are experts inside who have cast spells in front of them, so they don't take it seriously."
Feng Zhou understood in his heart.
It's all clear, but Feng Zhou doesn't know how to fight with his opponent.
After all, in a battle of wits and using each other's tricks, it would be impossible to deal with He Shi Liezhining's more than 10,000 people with the same ease.
And even if it is used, it will only kill and injure a few people at most, but it will have no impact on the overall situation.
"Commander! Please let the general go out and charge. From the general's point of view, the front army is not aligned. As long as I charge, it will be in chaos. After the chaos, the rear army will also be in chaos." Pang Yong said.
He curled his lips and asked Feng Zhou for a battle.
Feng Zhou looked back at Pang Yong, then at the other generals who were pouting, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is exactly what they want us to do."
"Our army is the main defender and sits in a fortified city. The enemy is mainly attacking. Of course he hopes to lure us out to fight in the field. But how can I follow his wishes?"
"I stationed my army in Suzhou City to attract the main force of the Jin Army. Now that Pu San Zhongyi has led the army, how can I easily expose the elite of our army?"
"Okay, let's leave the general on duty and let the others go back and rest!"
Feng Zhou issued an order to let others leave, leaving only Li Xianzhong and others who were on duty today.
"General Li, you made the most of your contribution to the capture of Suzhou that day. You were named the Jingdong Recruiting Envoy by the officials. You will stand alone in the future, so you must focus on stability at this moment."
"The last general is ordered!" Li Xianzhong bowed his hands and saluted, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a cavalry of several hundred people walking out of the Jin Army in the distance, and came to stand a mile below Suzhou City.
