Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 400 Battle of Tuhe 4

"How is it possible? There is also Song Jun here?"

"Why are there Song troops in all directions?"

"The Central Plains has been occupied by our Jurchens! Didn't it mean that only a small group of Song troops entered the Central Plains? Why did we see so many Song troops?"

The 20,000 Jurchen soldiers were in chaos. While they were terrified, they also had countless doubts in their hearts!

Before Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi and others led the army from Hedong to Hebei. When they were in Zhending Mansion, Wanyan Zongwang had already received news that there were more than 100,000 Song troops in the south of Hebei. The existence of a large Song army was just to prevent the army from becoming unstable, so Wanyan Zongwang did not tell the ordinary soldiers about these things at all! Only some commanders and commanders know about this! Therefore, now that the Song army from all directions appeared in front of the Jurchens, it was difficult for the Jurchens to accept such a phenomenon psychologically.

Countless Song soldiers on the high slope held bows and crossbows in their hands, and the rain of arrows was as follows!

"Come on! We must go up! Only by going up can we survive!" a Jurchen commander shouted loudly.

They are all in the half slope position now. If they turn their horses and return, on the one hand, they will fall into the siege below. The team is even more chaotic, and they are no match for the Han Chinese! Therefore, the best way now is to keep rushing up and defeat the Song army on the high slope!

The bows and arrows kept falling, and the Jurchens kept getting shot and fell from their horses! However, the Jurchen army is still charging upwards.

There were already corpses and blood everywhere on the high slope, and the scene was terrifying.

However, the Jurchen's vanguard has almost reached the high slope!

At this moment, there was a shout of killing from above, and two Song Army cavalry rushed down from the left and right wings respectively!

It turns out that there are not only crossbowmen on the high slope, but also cavalry ambushing here!

A young man in a dragon robe was riding on a horse, standing on a high slope, surrounded by countless guards, and more than ten staff and generals followed him.

"Your Majesty, we have already won this battle, and the Jurchen army will be wiped out here!" Wu Jie stood beside Zhao Chen and said with a smile.

This time, in order to annihilate Wanyan Zongwang's army, not only the 100,000 Jingyuan Army from the Southern Daming Mansion went north, but also 30,000 cavalry from the Northern Shaanxi Imperial Army led by Li Yanxian, 20,000 cavalry from the Imperial Army led by Zhang Xian, and 50,000 from Wu Jie's men. The soldiers of the Yangtze River Navy have mobilized a total of 200,000 troops! Li Yanxian's 10,000 soldiers entered Yucheng, pretending to be puppet troops to confuse the Jin soldiers, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry were all handed over to Wu Jie's command, and they are all here now.

After the 20,000 cavalry rushed down the high slope, the 20,000 Jurchen cavalry and 20,000 puppet troops trapped in the encirclement no longer had the ability to resist.

At this moment, these Jurchen soldiers and puppet soldiers did not dare to stay here, they only wanted to break through.

On the high slope, Wu Jie delivered orders one after another, the army kept making changes, and troops continued to block in all directions!

Surrounding the 40,000 enemy army with a 100,000 army, and Wu Jie personally commanding, the 40,000 enemy army has no chance to escape.

"There are 60,000 Jurchen cavalry in Hexi. Although the Jingyuan Army has the right time and place, they have already surrounded the Jurchen cavalry. However, the cavalry's charge is not trivial. I am worried that they will escape! Send an order to Zhang Xian to lead 20,000 cavalry through the battle. , to intercept the escaped Jurchen cavalry from Hexi." Wu Jie said.

Immediately, someone brought Wu Jie's order to Zhang Xianjun.

Even in the midst of the melee, Song Jun had his own method of delivering messages. After a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xian received the news.

Then Zhang Xian integrated the army. He himself originally carried 10,000 cavalry, and the remaining 10,000 cavalry fled to the north that day.

Twenty thousand cavalry followed Zhang Xian towards the lower reaches of the south.

They walked for five or six miles, and there were more than ten pontoon bridges on the downstream river! It turned out that Zhang Xian had already erected the pontoon bridge before to prevent the situation of fighting on both sides!

Twenty thousand cavalry passed on the pontoon bridge and headed towards Hexi.

*** ***

In Hexi, Wanyan Zongwang is trying to break through!

He fought with Wanyan Aguda from his youth, and then led the Jurchen army southward into the Central Plains, came to Kaifeng twice, finally broke through Kaifeng, forced Song Huizong and Song Qinzong to go north, and became a Jurchen prisoner! He is the famous general in Jurchen country second only to Wanyan Zonghan!

Even in such a crisis, he still gathered more than 20,000 Jurchen cavalry, and now he is heading north with more than 20,000 Jurchen cavalry!

In the north, there are more than 20 Song Army phalanxes, and each Song Army phalanx consists of 1,000 people, which means that there are more than 20,000 Song Army phalanxes here! Relatively speaking, the Song army here is less powerful, so it is easier to rush out!

The Jurchen cavalry rushed forward, and they had already touched a phalanx!

Soon, the Jurchen iron cavalry collided with the front Song army phalanx, and the impact of the cavalry was far stronger than that of the infantry!

However, none of the Song Army infantry in front backed down!

A Song Army infantry roared angrily, and poked the spear in his hand at the Jurchen cavalry in front. He himself was stepped on by the horse's hoof and fell to the ground. Boundless pain hit him, but he still struggled to stand up, and finally realized that he really couldn't stand up, he gritted his teeth and hugged a horse's hoof tightly, and the horse's hoof stepped on his face, He screamed again and again, but he still refused to let go.

The front row of spear-wielding soldiers had all fallen to the ground, while the rear row of spear-wielding soldiers were still moving forward bravely, and they stabbed the spears in their hands forward together.

Soon, this group of spear-wielding soldiers also fell to the ground, and the third row of spear-wielding soldiers continued to move forward.

This phalanx was endless, and the soldiers of the Song Army went forward one after another. No one was afraid of death, but just wanted to block the enemy!

Facing such a phalanx, the Jurchen has no ability to break through it! Their charging power is unparalleled, but now, their charging power can't play a role in front of such a phalanx.

"The Han people are so strong now?" Wanyan Zongwang felt a chill in his heart.

In the past two years in Guanshan, the Jurchen army has been confronting the Guanshan Song army. During this period, small-scale conflicts continued, but large-scale wars never happened again. He didn't expect that the Song Army was more powerful than two years ago. Facing such a Song Army, let alone in an ambush, he might not be able to defeat the Song Army even in a frontal battle.

"It's only been six years since Zhao Chen ascended the throne in Hanzhong. Why did the Han people change so much? It shouldn't be! The Han people are obviously vulnerable and cowardly, but why aren't they afraid of death now?" Yan Zongwang felt a little weak all over his body.

In any case, he knew that he couldn't continue to fight against this phalanx now!

"Go, go from the left!" Wanyan Zongwang said loudly.

On the left is the gap between the two phalanxes, and he led the army to rush towards it.

The two phalanxes were already blocking here at the first time, but since the Jurchen army has entered the gap, it is very difficult to stop them all.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't dare to stay here at all. After seeing the strength of the Song Army's phalanx, he knew that if he stayed here, he would only die! No matter how powerful the cavalry's charge is, it is difficult to rush out of the stacked phalanxes. The only way is to take advantage of the gaps in the phalanxes and the chance to leave!

He was sweating profusely, with blood all over his body and face. In such a scuffle, he was already injured!

They rushed through the gaps of the phalanxes one by one, but their number was getting smaller and smaller.

At the beginning, Wanyan Zongwang still had 20,000 Jurchen cavalry by his side, but after half an hour, there were less than 10,000 Jurchen cavalry by his side!

However, fortunately, he has come to the outside of the phalanx!

Inside, there are still tens of thousands of Jurchen troops surrounded by 100,000 Song troops. I am afraid that no one of those Jurchen troops will be able to escape.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Do you want to save those sons?" A commander was also covered in blood, and at this moment he gritted his teeth.

"If we go to rescue them, we will be doomed in the end! We have no choice but to escape here first!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

"There are 40,000 troops in front of us, why don't they charge over?" the commander said angrily.

"The 40,000 army is probably out of motivation." Wanyan Zongwang smiled wryly.

Because it was dark night, and there was scuffle fighting all around, and the 40,000 army on the opposite side was heading downstream again, fighting in the downstream, so Wanyan Zongwang had no idea that the 40,000 army on the opposite side was also surrounded now.

Of the 80,000 Jurchen cavalry and 20,000 puppet troops he brought out, only the 10,000 around him escaped from the melee!

"Let's go! Get out of here quickly, and then we will find a way." Wanyan Zongwang said.

He led ten thousand cavalry towards the north, and all these ten thousand cavalry were exhausted. After such a long battle, their physical strength was exhausted and it was difficult to support them.

"Fortunately, the Han people are all infantry, otherwise, it would be difficult for us to escape." Wanyan Zongwang secretly said.

They had been walking forward for more than twenty miles. At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes ahead.
