Zhao Guanjia's behavior may be superfluous, but considering that he may not have known that Hu Yin would be here in person, and made such a statement, it is hard to say anything. However, in this way, it cannot help but appear that he cannot trust Hu Shangshu and several people in Tokyo.

Xianggong, the civil servants’ decision-making collective, made the decision.

At least compared to Yue Fei, he is not trustworthy enough.

There was no reason why Hu Mingzhong would be angry for a moment.

However, now is not the time to discuss this matter at all. Just like Wushu knows how to put away those sarcastic words and encourage his troops instead, Hu Yin also immediately let Yue Fei and others guide the Song Army.

The officers in the tent went to check the official orders for encouragement.

It is said that one thousand roads and ten thousand rivers are sealed. As far as the Jin army is concerned, fighter planes will appear and war will inevitably break out.

Compared with the battle that just crossed the river last month, the intensity of this battle will not be much different, but the scale of the battle will be several times or even ten times larger. Moreover, considering that the Song Army has complete fortifications at this time and the Jin Army has a strong

If there is enough, tug-of-war and a war of attrition are likely to occur.

No one can ignore it.

"The biggest mistake of the Song army was not made by Yue Peng, but by the self-righteous official of Zhao Song!" After Wu Shu became angry, Ba Lisu formally took over the military meeting and spoke with certainty.

"The overall situation of our army's Northern Expedition is under control!" After the officer in the tent finished checking the "orders", Yue Fei sat in command and looked around solemnly.

"The biggest mistake of that official's family was to split his 300,000 imperial army into two, and after dividing the troops, both sides had to advance together!" Ba Li Su'anran explained.

"The reason why I say this is not only because we have worked hard for ten years and gradually become stronger. We have an army of 300,000 imperial troops and an army of 500,000 civilians. More importantly, the Jurchens are also seeing that they are getting worse day by day.

." Yue Fei slowed down his tone slightly. "In the past ten years, the military strength of the Jin Dynasty has been completely different. This is the real reliance of our army to deal with the enemy here."

"Then if Zhao Guanjia uses his imperial camp's right army and navy to guard the Yellow River, and then blocks the imperial camp's front army directly to Longde Mansion (Shangdang Basin), and then joins Wu Jie's imperial camp's rear army and Yelu Yujian

The Khitan miscellaneous barbarians came out of Yanmen and covered the mountains and fields east of the river with steam, leaving no gaps open. I really dare not join the army in a decisive battle with that kind of terrain!" Ba Lisu suddenly stood up. "

But since he divided his troops and forced Yue Fei to attack Daming Mansion, and forced the imperial army to capture Yuancheng, he would have exposed his fighter plan in vain..."

"Although our troops are slightly weaker in this battle, we have sufficient fortifications and defense lines." Yue Fei continued to analyze calmly. "It is easy to show off your bravery behind a high wall. We can completely kill the enemy with our fortifications, and the enemy seems to be

It is powerful, but in fact it is bloated. Once the first general attack fails, the second one will not be successful. The third time will be completely frustrated and you will start to be in a dilemma..."

"Let him attack from any number of directions, we will only attack one by one!" Ba Lisu finally pulled out his sword, revealing a sharp white blade. "This is the general trend! In this battle, we have joined 130,000 households, and the King of Wei will personally supervise the army.

, we must swallow Yue Fei’s 60,000 men!”

"The official decree is here. You have all read it. It is self-evident. Hu Shangshu is sitting here... There is no retreat in this battle!" Yue Fei finally stood up and gave a serious order. "But if you can strictly observe military discipline,

, if the orders are enforced, there will be no reason for failure in this battle!"

In this way, the commanders of both sides completed their instigation and assigned combat tasks. Around afternoon, the troops were properly dispatched, and the battle broke out quickly and massively.

However, it definitely cannot be called intense.

Because the first to attack was not the main force of the Jin army, but the signing army.

Under the pressure of the heavily armed Jin army, there were no less than 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, wearing non-slip straw sandals. Many of them only had worn-out winter coats brought from home. A few had broken leather armor and looked a little awkward at this time.

The strange coir raincoat, carrying a simple spear, a soft bow, and a simple knife, climbed over what may be the most spectacular sheep and horse wall of this era - the Yellow River Embankment - on a front nearly seventeen or eight miles wide, and then stepped on this era.

The broadest moat, the frozen Yellow River, launched a massive charge towards the huge Song Army position that had been operating for almost a month.

When the number of people exceeds 10,000, it is boundless. When the number reaches 70,000 or 80,000, it is basically a force that no one can ignore. Only the Song Army itself has no less than 130,000 to 40,000 men, so it can do nothing.

Don't be afraid and deal with it safely.

Moreover, these signing troops are basically young and strong people from the surrounding states and counties. Within ten years, they successively escaped the large-scale massacre and trafficking of the Jurchens, and endured the incredible tyranny in the following years, but in the end they did not escape today.

of war.

On a slightly cold winter afternoon, under the direct sunlight without any sense of warmth, these Hebei troops were like a sticky black wave, struggling to roll over from the west to the east of the Yellow River. On the opposite side, Song Dynasty

The army did not hesitate. The eight-oxen crossbows on the river embankment, the artillery carts behind the river embankment, and the divine arm bows on the mountain were fired almost at the same time, shooting countless arrows and stone bullets from the river embankment and behind the river embankment.

Smashed it over.

Under the intensive long-range strikes, the black wave quickly became sluggish and slippery. When the black wave finally reached the river bank on the other side, it quickly lost the power to continue rolling, and then seemed to be pulled by gravity.

The natural effect is normal, and it rolls back again - on the edge of the river embankment, the main force of the Song Army is waiting behind the fence. These signing troops do not have the courage to fight hand-to-hand. As for those few who rush forward, even if they express their intention to surrender

, begging the Song army to allow them to escape, but they only received long spears and short knives in response.

In this state of being alone and in danger, the Song army could not risk huge military risks and spare them.

In fact, even the Jin Army did not expect that these poorly equipped soldiers could rush into or enter the Song Army's positions. They originally wanted to use these soldiers to waste the Song Army's arrows and projectiles, and then wear them out and destabilize the Song Army.

military.

Therefore, seeing the black wave rolling back in a big way, the commander of the Jin army had no extra thoughts at all. He just asked the supervising team to move forward immediately and force the opponent to roll back again.

Of course, you have to roll back.

In this way, for most of the afternoon, the nearly 100,000 signature troops were like some dish in a hot pot that was being rolled by a spatula, over and over again, and their strength, agility, courage, thinking, life, and hope were all gone.

Gradually lost in this rolling.

But for such a complex and precious thing, the color tone is unexpectedly simple - the blood seeps into the ice and spreads in the cracks in the ice, a bright red color, and the upper part of the ice, due to the constant exchange of these signatures, forms a thin layer

The thin melted mud water was quickly frozen, and the two colors were superimposed, forming a strange and unified red and black color.

It's just like the fish and meat in the oil pan leave a light yellow oil residue at the end,

It gets dark quickly in winter. After about four or five large-scale attacks, the sun sets very low. The Song Army finally couldn't bear it, so they began to consciously reduce the intensity of their attacks.

And the unified posture tried its best to stay in the river... Sure enough, as long as they did not attack the Song Army's position, the Song Army would no longer attack them, and the Jin Army realized the firmness of the Song Army's position and the Song Army's

After the discipline of the army was tightened, they soon lost the intention to continue to expend effort to kill people and supervise the battle.

In the evening, the Jin army finally called for gold and retreated.

This battle is a prologue and a beginning. Its function is to consume the morale and projection reserves of the Song Army, and to test the discipline and execution capabilities of the Song Army... In addition, there should also be testing of the actual situation and the weakness of the Song Army's front.

It had a tactical purpose, but due to the Song army's strict defense and the huge and bloated signing army, it failed.

But it doesn't matter. Starting from the next morning, the Jin Army will replace a new batch of signing troops, and mix them with some armored Han'er troops and even a small number of dismounted Jin cavalry to ensure that this tactical purpose is completed.

.

By then, it is unlikely that these signing troops will be able to take a breather in the river like they are today, and they will be intimidated until the last moment.

However, Yue Fei was by no means a passive defender and someone who did not dare to fight back - that night, in the cold wind, in the slightly tired and silent Hexi Jin Army camp, a fire broke out, alarming the entire army.

Ba Lisu and Wu Shu were horrified. They got up hastily and gave continuous orders. On the one hand, they ordered each department to divide the camp and hold on to the situation. On the other hand, they sent their trusted headquarters to the east overnight and patrolled along the river to be sure to prevent the Song army from taking the opportunity to make a surprise attack.

After a night of trouble, in the early hours of the morning, after collecting information and pulling out Suhe Wushu, I finally figured out the reason.

It turned out that during yesterday's exploratory attack, the Song Army saw an opportunity and actually sent a small group of elite soldiers disguised as signing troops. They took advantage of the chaos to hide in the river at the end of the battle, and then followed the chaotic signing troops to sneak into the Jin Army.

Battalion... Because the signing troops suffered a lot of casualties and their morale was low, no one noticed it.

Finally, of course, there is the classic setting fire at night.

Of course, the Jin Army responded very quickly and handled it properly, so the fire did not spread and there was no large-scale chaos in the camp. Probably because of this, the Song Army's response force shortly after contacting the Jin Army,

After covering the retreat of many of our own surprise troops, we also retreated directly.

But even so, this night's torment was still a standard and even exciting counter-attack and harassment operation - the Jin army stayed up all night, and even a large number of sign troops who had witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield fled in the chaos.

Thanks to this, the scale of the battle on the second day was suddenly reduced by more than half.

But, then again, after encountering such a surprise attack yesterday, they still adhered to the original tactical strategy the next day, and the armored Han'er Army among them still showed up as scheduled, which in turn shows that the determination of the top brass of the Jin Army is unshakable

of.

On the third day, the heavy armor of the Jin Army began to participate in the battle in a small scale, and the intensity of the battle further increased. The river embankment position that the Song Army relied on was breached for the first time, two eight-niu crossbows were burned, and hundreds of civilians were massacred.

The gap was blocked by the Song Army's second-line troops.

And on the afternoon of that day, to the north of Daming City and Gucheng City, and to the east of the Song Army's position, which was the old position of the main force of the Song Army, suddenly more than a thousand Jin heavy armored cavalry appeared on patrol.

The east side of the Song Army's position listened to the noise on the west side of the battlefield across the huge Song Army camp for two hours, and then suddenly evacuated in the evening.

No need to ask, everyone knows that these are most likely Wang Bolong's troops, and Wang Bolong's troops suddenly abandoned Xiajin City to the north and appeared here, which can only mean one thing, and that is two and a half days of continuous testing and pressure.

After spending all the projectile equipment, the Jin Army's first general attack is about to arrive as scheduled.

Early in the morning on the fourth day, shortly after dawn, the Song Army's sentry cavalry had not yet turned back from all directions. The last hot air balloon of the Song Army rose up without hesitation to verify the news - Bei Yan, the commander of the so-called balloon battalion, personally boarded the balloon.

Then, through ropes, hooks, and counterweights, the sheets of paper with text and brief drawings were passed down one after another from a height of more than ten feet.

The information could not be clearer:

After the meal, the main force of the Jin Army camp gathered together along the river;

Smoke and dust billowed, and in the southern section of the Jin Army's camp, a considerable number of Jin Army cavalry, probably at least tens of thousands, moved southward;

To the north in the direction of Guantao, the main force of the Jin army also regrouped;

In Yuancheng, a large number of cavalry also began to gather around the already empty Cuiyun Tower, and they seemed unsure of the direction of the attack;

Finally, there was dense smoke and dust in the northeast of the position. Of course, the movement could not be compared with that of the main camp of the Jin Army to the west of the position, but at a glance, it was clear that the smoke and dust brought by the march of a large group of troops also suddenly appeared.

No need to ask, everyone knows that on this day, the Jin army will not only attack in general, but also attack from all sides, in an attempt to maximize its military advantage.

"Du Tong..."

In Yuancheng, on the gate tower to the north, Gao Qingyi and two guards hurriedly climbed onto the city wall, and then earnestly advised him. "This place is dangerous. If you want to see the battle situation, you might as well go to the east wall..."
To be continued...
