Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Marshal Du, I didn't catch up with them!" Wanyan Quan returned to Wanyan Zonghan's side, and said with some shame.

"This is nothing! The Han people are cunning, you are right not to continue chasing them!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"But I still feel extremely aggrieved! The Han people offend us, but we have nothing to do!" Wan Yanquan said with a flushed face.

"There is no way to be aggrieved! After conquering the Liao Kingdom, our Jurchens began to degenerate. Including me, after defeating Kaifeng, they returned to the north and never went south again! If we had stayed in the Central Plains at that time, then I would personally lead Attack Guanshan with heavy troops, break through Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, and capture Emperor Xuanwu alive. After that, countless things will not happen later, and our Jurchens will not have the disaster of today! Unfortunately, we only knew how to enjoy it at that time!" Wanyan Zonghan road.

"Yes!" Wanyan Quan sighed softly.

He is young, and although he has also learned martial arts over the years, he enjoys it most of the time! He always thought that the Jurchens were invincible in the world, and he didn't wake up until the disaster really struck, and he understood the general trend of the world in front of him!

"Let's go, keep going, beware of the Han people! As long as you get to Cilishui, you'll be fine!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

The more than a thousand Song soldiers followed closely behind them. After about an hour, the number of Song soldiers behind them gradually increased!

When it was getting dark, the number of Song troops behind them reached 20,000!

These Song troops followed behind them like a pack of wolves and did not attack them, but if they slackened a little, the Song troops would immediately pounce on them and bite them hard! If Wanyan Zonghan sent someone to drive away the Song army, the Song army would retreat. If they were chasing and the number of soldiers and horses was too small, the Song army would stop and wipe them out. If there were too many soldiers and horses, Wanyan Zonghan himself was not at ease. He assumed that there were other Song troops around!

On this night, the wind was as cold as a knife!

More than 100,000 Jurchens were still walking forward against the cold wind, and they didn't stop to rest! Now the cavalry of the Song Army has appeared around, whether it is Wanyan Zonghan or ordinary Jurchens are worried, and now they just want to rush to a safe place as soon as possible!

Moreover, there is no place to rest on this vast and endless plain!

For the whole night, the Jurchens didn't dare to slack off, and the sound of Song Jun's hooves kept coming from behind them, which made them feel very nervous.

In the early morning of the second day of the first lunar month, the sound of horseshoes came from the west again, and another Song army cavalry came!

The combined number of Song troops in the west and south is close to 50,000, which is the same as the total number of Jurchen soldiers and horses. All the Jurchen soldiers feel that there is a mountain pressing down on their heads.

From noon on the second day of the first lunar month, the Song army in the west began to continuously press in the direction of the Jurchen army. They were getting closer and closer to the Jurchen army, and the Jurchen army was getting more and more tense.

An hour later, the Jurchen army and the Jurchen women began to head east!

In fact, they have to cross the Cilishui and then enter the dense forest north of the second regular meeting. Now they have to change their route to the east, and they can't go all the way north!

So far, the Song army has only persecuted and harassed, and still has not launched a large-scale attack.

"What exactly are the Song people going to do?" Wanyan Quan couldn't help asking, looking at the soldiers of the Song Army who had been following them in the distance.

"When Yelu Dashi went south that day, the Song army sent 100,000 troops to follow them, leaving them no time to rest and making them tired. Now they will probably use the same strategy that day to make us tired!" Wanyan Zonghan said .

"Do we have any way to crack it?" Wan Yanqian asked.

"We are both cavalry. All their fighters are one man and two horses. They are full of energy. We just experienced a big battle outside the Huanglong Mansion. Afterwards, we went all the way without rest, and our energy was exhausted. They didn't fight us, they just surrounded us. There is nothing we can do to force us! If we were on the open grassland, we would definitely be defeated, but we will soon be in Cilishui! Let everyone hurry up!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

He felt that the current situation was extremely dangerous, because the number of the Song army was too much! All the soldiers and horses of the Song Army in Datong, Juyongguan, and Shanhaiguan have entered the north. In addition, there are 100,000 navies who have already crossed the sea and entered Liaodong to fight. Together with some militias, the number of soldiers and horses is 20 to 30 times that of the Jurchens! The supplies and weapons of the Song army are countless times better than that of Jurchen! There is a fundamental gap in strength between the two sides, and he can't help worrying!

"Marshal Du, you have been fighting with Emperor Taizu since you were seventeen. In your opinion, is the current Song Army really as powerful as we guessed before?" Wanyan Quan had already left, and a commander next to him asked. .

"Very strong! Very strong! Their army is well-organized, and they come and go like the wind! Their soldiers all have confidence on their faces, which is the temperament of elite soldiers who have been victorious in every battle! In addition, their war horses seem to have experienced Special training, the quality of the horses must be better than ours! Originally, our horses were also very strong, but over the years in the north, our soldiers have become slack, and our horses are often nestled in the stables, and the horses have begun to become lazy! With the same strength, we may not be their opponents." Wanyan Zonghan said.

The commander next to him had a shocked expression on his face, and he couldn't believe it.

*** ***

The snow fell heavily, and the thickness of the snow on the ground exceeded one and a half feet. Such a thickness of snow also affected the speed of Jurchen's progress.

There were a large number of women among the Jurchen soldiers and horses. Although the Jurchen women were quite tough, on the morning of the second day of the first lunar month, some women finally found it difficult to move around.

There were soldiers behind who reported the information in the team to Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Quan and others.

"Marshal Du, what should we do?" Wan Yanqian asked.

"We can give them our war horses!" said a ten-man behind.

"No! Leave them where they are, let's move on!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"What?" Wanyan Quan froze there for a moment, and said, "Marshal Du, if they do this, they will have no choice but to die! Even without the Song Army behind them, it would be difficult for them to survive alone on the desolate snow field Get down!"

"This is the only way to do it now! If we continue to take them with us, our speed will slow down. At that time, the Song army will gather more and more, and we will definitely die! As for giving up the horses to them, that's even more impossible. The Song army rushed forward , what do we rely on to fight?" Wanyan Zonghan said coldly.

"However, if you do this, you really don't look like a man!" Wan Yanquan said stubbornly.

"Immediately pass on my order, let those women who can't walk stay, and leave more food for them! Don't forget, there are more clansmen waiting for us in Huining Mansion!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

Wanyan Zonghan's order had been passed on, Wanyan Quan gritted his teeth tightly and clenched his hands tightly. After a while, he let out a roar and rushed towards the Song army in the west with dozens of personal soldiers!

Wanyan Zonghan turned pale with shock, but fortunately, in the middle of the journey, a Jurchen soldier held Wanyan Quan's horse firmly, and Wanyan Quan stopped! Later Wanyan Zonghan came with thousands of soldiers and horses, and he severely reprimanded Wanyan Quan, not to mention that.

In the middle of the night on the second day of the first lunar month, the cavalry of the Song Army also appeared in the east, and the number was more than 20,000!

The Song army in the west and east kept harassing. Their bows and arrows were better than those of the Jurchens. They often shot arrows in the distance, and they often left immediately after a wave. The Jurchens were helpless! The cavalry of the Song army was different from the Jurchen cavalry. They were all light cavalry, completely abandoning their heavy armor, and their speed was a bit faster than the Jurchens. The Jurchens had no maneuvering advantage in front of them.

The harassment continued throughout the night, and under the harassment and pressure of the Song Army, the Jurchen team also unknowingly moved in a more eastward direction.

On the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, a big river appeared in front of the Jurchen team!

Fortunately, it is the middle of winter, and the big river has already been frozen! The ancient Northeast was extremely cold, the big river was frozen solid, and the top of the big river was also covered with a thick layer of snow!

This is what Wanyan Zonghan called Cilishui. Back then, Cilishui was the dividing line between Jurchen and Khitan. To the north of Cilishui were the Twelve Jurchen tribes, and this was their ancestral land!

"Finally here!" Wanyan Zonghan showed a hint of excitement on his face.

"Ten miles away is a forest! When I was young, I used to hunt there with Taizu and my father!" Wanyan Zongpan also showed joy on his face.

"Let everyone hurry up! Also, send someone to investigate the situation ahead!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

There are also Song Army cavalry around, but they are a little far away from here.

After about half an hour, the cavalry in front came back and reported that everything around them was normal.

Wanyan Zonghan fled all the way, and at this moment his heart was relieved, and laughter began to appear in the Jurchen team.

After another half an hour, the plain disappeared, and the forest shrouded in heavy snow appeared in front of the Jurchens, and cheers were everywhere among the Jurchens!

The Jurchen soldiers and women all ran towards the forest, and the soldiers of the Song Army behind them were also rushing towards here at this moment!

"It's safe! Hurry up, don't let Song Jun catch up! This forest is our world, we can find countless hidden places, and countless roads!" Wan Yan Zonghan moved a cedar branch in front of him aside, laughing loudly road.

In the forest, there is only the sound of howling wind and the footsteps of the Jurchens, and there is no other sound besides this.

The Jurchen soldiers had already dismounted from their horses and led the horses forward, and the Jurchen women followed closely behind the soldiers!

A quarter of an hour had passed, and all the Jurchens were relieved. At this moment, there was a sharp sound of bows and arrows piercing the air!
