Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

At this moment, there are 10,000 Song troops stationed in the north and west of Dezhou City.

In the Song Army camp due west, a young general was wiping his horse.

This general is very handsome, but his face gives people a sense of escape.

He wiped it very carefully, and he took great care of the horses.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was heard in the distance, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were seen rushing towards here.

They haven't come here yet, they have already shouted.

"General, the Jurchens have been found!" Only the cavalry said.

"Oh? How many people are there?" The young general stopped immediately and asked hastily.

"The number of Jurchen soldiers and horses is very large, about 100,000." A cavalry said.

"So many! It seems that Jurchen's main force has been mobilized! Great! Pass the order and leave Dezhou City immediately! The soldiers and horses of the northern barracks are heading north, and we are heading south!" the young general said loudly.

This young general is none other than Yue Fei's sworn brother Zhang Xian! When Yue Fei went north, Zhang Xian was sent to Hebei and Shandong to contain Liu Yu and others. He had been in Hebei and Shandong for more than half a year.

He has already received Yue Fei's order, if the Jurchen army arrives, he will leave here as soon as possible. He has only 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Now is not the time to fight Jurchen decisively, but to wait for the opportunity to come.

There was a sound of commotion throughout the barracks, and all the soldiers were hastily mounting their horses.

There are still countless supplies left in their barracks, and they don't care about those supplies at the moment, just holding weapons and heading south.

As for the barracks in the north of the city, we have also received news that the Song army there is also heading north.

"How far is the Jurchens from here?" Zhang Xian asked as he galloped his horse.

"There are still about ten miles left." A soldier said.

"More than ten miles, it's very close! With the speed of the Jurchens, they will arrive in a short time! Let's leave quickly!" Zhang Xian laughed.

They headed south and had traveled five or six miles.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from the south!

Zhang Xian was taken aback!

I saw smoke billowing in the distance, and countless Jurchen cavalry appeared on the plain, and they were heading here!

It turned out that on the one hand, Wanyan Zongwang ordered people to attack Zhang Xian's troops head-on, and on the other hand, he led 20,000 soldiers and horses around to prevent Zhang Xian from escaping!

What Zhang Xian encountered now was 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"General, what should we do?" a soldier asked.

"Go ahead!" Zhang Xianda shouted.

He had already heard the sound of horseshoes from the west, and knew that there were still a large number of golden soldiers coming from the west.

If you stop now, you will immediately be surrounded by two roads. At that time, it may be more or less auspicious.

So, just keep going.

Song Jun charged forward, while turning slightly, they are now heading southeast, avoiding the front of the Jurchens.

However, there are also Jurchens in the southeast, and they will still have to clash with the Jurchen army after all.

"Follow me! Kill!" Zhang Xian had already seen the Jurchen in front of him, and he had already drawn the bow in his hand immediately.

Behind him, countless soldiers also took up their bows.

Then there was a swishing sound, and there was also the sound of bows and arrows on the opposite side!

In a moment, hundreds of soldiers on both sides fell down!

It's just that the Song Army's bow and arrow manufacturing technology is much better than that of the Jurchens. After years of training, the Song Army's archery skills are not inferior to the Jurchens, so more Jurchens have fallen.

The two armies finally collided.

Zhang Xian held an iron gun in his hand and stabbed continuously towards the front.

The Jurchens fell to the ground one by one, but there were too many Jurchens in front, and finally one of the Jurchens slashed Zhang Xian with a knife in his hand, and Zhang Xian felt a sharp pain.

He snorted coldly, killed the Jurchen, and continued to move forward.

Beside him, countless personal soldiers have fallen, but there are still countless personal soldiers rushing forward.

They want to follow Zhang Xian, open a gap first, and then leave through this gap!

The Song army behind rushed towards this direction one after another, and now they want to gather the strength of the whole army to break through here!

The Jurchens are also trying their best to resist.

The Jurchens from the West are also rushing here!

If the gap cannot be opened in a short time, I am afraid that 10,000 Song troops will be trapped here!

Zhang Xian was constantly killing the enemy, his eyes turned red, and he tried his best to move forward!

At this moment, the war horse under him let out a mournful cry, and the war horse fell to the ground, and Zhang Xian jumped off the horse immediately.

However, he was still moving forward, and several Jurchens came towards him one after another, and they were all knocked down by him. Finally, he snatched a war horse from the Jurchens, and came to the horse again.

The Song army behind is still coming in this direction!

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

The Jurchen army in the west is getting closer and closer. At this moment, the gap ahead is finally opened!

Song Jun let out a cheer, and headed forward together from here!

They are like a torrent, and there are more and more gaps ahead.

The Jurchens also began to come around from the two wings, but it was impossible to block here!

They attacked from both wings, but the Song army did not fight with them. Except for a few people who died here, most of the rest had already rushed towards the southeast.

There were weeds everywhere on the land, and 10,000 Song soldiers rushed forward in the weeds, while the Jurchens followed closely behind, trying their best to intercept them.

In the north, the Song army fled there very smoothly, and the Jurchens were also chasing after them, but it was difficult to catch up with the 10,000 Song army in the north for a while.

*** ***

The sun was setting and the sky was bleak.

Wanyan Zongwang stood in front of Dezhou City, with an angry light in his eyes.

He didn't expect Song Jun to be so cunning that he escaped from their siege.

"Your Highness, the Song army fled without a fight. It seems that they are nothing more than that!" A commander laughed.

"It's a shame that our 80,000 army didn't wipe out the 20,000 Song army! Tell the soldiers, we must catch up with them!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

At this time, the gate of Dezhou City opened, and more than a dozen generals of the puppet army came out immediately.

When they saw Wanyan Zongwang, they immediately knelt down.

"The last general, Li Cheng, sees the second prince!" said a middle-aged general.

This middle-aged general was extremely dark, with several scars on his face and an unshaven beard. He was Li Cheng, Liu Yu's number one general. Historically, when Yue Fei rose to power, he fought Li Cheng several times.

At that time, Liu Yu was the prefect of Jinan, and there were two generals in Jinan Prefecture, one was Guan Sheng and the other was Li Cheng. When Liu Yu rebelled, Guan Sheng was unwilling to follow him to join the Jurchens, so Liu Yu used tricks to kill Guan Sheng, and Li Cheng followed him to join the Jurchens, and now he is Liu Yu's absolute confidant.

"Just now I saw Song Jun fleeing, why didn't you go and intercept them?" Wanyan Zongwang said coldly.

"Your Highness, Song Jun left so suddenly that we didn't notice it at all! We wanted to chase them, but it was too late!" Li Cheng knelt on the ground and said.

Zhang Xian made a sudden decision, and within a quarter of an hour, the army left one after another. With the quality of Li Cheng's puppet army, it was impossible to gather within a quarter of an hour, let alone pursue them. Moreover, Zhang Xian's subordinates are all cavalry, and his subordinates are all infantry, so he can't catch up even if he wants to pursue them.

"Get up! When my army returns, let's go to Yucheng and Qizhou to rescue Liu Yu!" Wanyan Zongwang said coldly.

Li Cheng stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is your 40,000 army fairly complete?" Wanyan Zongwang said again.

"All the 40,000 troops are here!" Li Cheng said.

"Very good, now I have an army of 120,000! I will definitely be able to destroy the Song army and rescue Liu Yu!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

"Your Highness, the Jurchens are invincible! You just came here, and the Song army fled without fighting. I'm afraid that after we come to Qizhou, the Song army outside Qizhou city will do the same!" Li Cheng accompanied him with a smile.

"That's right! The Jurchens are invincible! We have always been like this, and we are still like this now! As long as 10,000 people pass by, we can defeat all the Song troops!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

He entered Dezhou City, and it was not until Zishi that the Jurchen army returned to Dezhou City one after another. They did not chase Zhang Xian's 20,000 troops!

Zhang Xian has been here for a while and has a good understanding of the terrain here. The Jurchens are newcomers. Although there are many soldiers and horses, it is impossible to catch up with the Song army in an unfamiliar environment.

Wanyan Zongwang was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He stayed here overnight and led 80,000 Jurchen soldiers and 20,000 puppet troops towards Yucheng and Qizhou.

Li Cheng stayed in Dezhou with the remaining 20,000 puppet troops.
