What he lamented was that they were all soldiers and sergeants of the imperial court, so why did they have to fight to the death over those issues?
These two groups fought hard to the end. Wasn't it the Song Dynasty's own military power that they lost in the end?
If they had the time, energy, and strength, wouldn't it be better for them to immediately pull their troops to the border and have a hearty fight with the Jin cavalry and the Liao cavalry?
Even if they lose then, the morale of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty can be reflected, and the Liao Kingdom and the Kingdom of Jin can also see that the people of the Song Dynasty are not as cowardly and timid as they imagined.
I don't even have the courage to fight.
If you win, that would be even better.
Maybe when the time comes, we can take advantage of the great victory and regain all the lands previously lost by the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, which would be considered a feeling of pride.
How can he be a hero if he is always fighting within his own family?
What Zhang Qing was worried about was that the battlefield chosen by the two forces was too sensitive.
Because for one thing, this place is too close to Wenshang County and several other surrounding counties.
Once a war breaks out here, it will be extremely easy to cause panic among the surrounding people, leading to many unexpected incidents.
Furthermore, it is because the distance between this place and Shuibo Liang Mountain is not very far.
If a war breaks out here, it will be extremely easy to attract the bandits on Shuibo Liang Mountain.
At that time, once the thieves from Shuibo Liang Mountain rush over, it will not only be Gao Qiu and Song Jiang who will be unlucky.
Just when Zhang Qing was secretly worried, the sound of horse hooves came slowly from far to near like the sound of a surging river.
After the bursts of smoke and dust dissipated, an iron-blooded army appeared dozens of meters away from Zhang Qing.
Logically speaking, after hearing such a noise, Song and Jiang's two groups would naturally retreat to the sides, and then quietly stare at the situation in front of them.
After all, the two groups had no idea whether the group they came were friends or foes.
If the fight continues at this time, both of their groups may be wiped out by the other party without knowing it.
But at this time, Gao Qiu and Song Jiang didn't know whether it was because they were beaten red-eye or on the head, but they didn't even have the slightest intention to end the battle temporarily.
The fight is still inextricable there.
Looking at the posture, it seems that if the opponent is not completely wiped out, then there is no possibility of this war ending.
The situation in front of them was exactly what Wu Zhi and others who hurried over at this time wanted to see most.
Because Wu Zhi knows best in his heart that it is easier to fish in muddy waters.
Under this situation, if Gao Qiu and Song Jiang can be wiped out, that will naturally be the best result.
But this time, when Wu Zhi led his troops on the expedition, he only led two divisions that were not fully staffed.
The total number of their troops combined is only more than 10,000.
Therefore, it is indeed not easy to devour both groups of forces in one war.
This was not because Wu Zhi did not want to bring out more troops, but because under the situation in front of him, he really did not dare to bring out all the soldiers in Shuibo Liangshan.
If when he leads his troops out of the city to meet the enemy, if there is a certain enemy force, he will be attacked from behind.
The base camp that Wu Zhi spent several years building was about to be destroyed in one day.
Wu Zhi neither takes this risk nor can he take it.
Therefore, Wu Zhi's purpose of coming here this time is to kill the enemy's effective forces as much as possible.
Although the possibility of completely annihilating the enemy's army is extremely low, we must kill as many of the opponent's soldiers as possible.
Of course, if there is that opportunity, it is also very important to capture more prisoners and take them back.
After all, Wu Zhi is really short of soldiers right now.
There are only three divisions under his command, and they are all understaffed.
As for the second purpose, it is to catch Gao Qiu.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Gao Qiu is just a notorious corrupt official with a long history of crimes.
But in Wu Zhi's opinion, Gao Qiu was an out-and-out treasure.
Last time, since he was able to extort one million taels of silver from Gao Qiu through some operations.
So this time, he can also use the same method to extort two million taels from Gao Qiu.
Extortion, robbery and robbery.
This is their usual style of doing things as the heroes of Liangshan.
So when Wu Zhi did these things, he had no moral obstacles in his mind.
On the contrary, a vague feeling of eliminating harm for the people arose in his heart.
No matter how powerful the soldiers under Gao Qiu's command were compared with the soldiers under Song Jiang's command, after nearly two hours of fighting, the two groups gradually lost little strength.
Gradually, the two groups of them gradually changed from the desperate attack just now to the passive defense now.
At the same time, they gradually calmed down and began to look at the situation around them.
Unintentionally, they discovered Wu Zhi for a while.
And just when Gao Qiu and Song Jiang were secretly wondering which team the opposing team of soldiers with strict military discipline and tough looks belonged to.
But the other party suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and rushed towards the two groups of them.
The reason why Gao Qiu and Song Jiang's group did not identify Wu Zhi and his group at the first time.
It was entirely because during this expedition, Wu Zhi wore three thousand pairs of light chain armor and three thousand pairs of heavy chain armor that had just been built on Shuibo Liang Mountain on the vanguard.
Although these light and heavy chain armors do look very domineering in appearance.
And after undergoing many impact experiments, its ability to withstand damage is also quite good.
But those are, after all, laboratory data.
As for the defensive capabilities of soldiers wearing this kind of chain armor after going to the battlefield, what kind of defense capabilities will they show?
Not only Shen Kuo, Li Jie and many other design and R&D leaders in the scientific research institute were unsure about this.
Even Wu Zhi, the person who designed the chain armor, was unsure.
Therefore, Wu Zhi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity for a raid down the mountain to let the soldiers wear this type of chain armor and experience the defensive capabilities of this type of chain armor for themselves.
It also allowed them to sum up their experience in the war and verify the many deficiencies in the design and construction of this chain armor.
Because before this, the soldiers under Gao Qiu and Song Jiang had been fighting each other for a long time.
