There is no way to go to the battlefield! Combat strength is also very different. Just like the ten thousand households with full cavalry, half of them are Han people from Yanyun and half are miscellaneous people outside the fortress. They are all new troops who have never been on the battlefield. Do you think they are useful or not?

What? But the four Hezha Meng'an who came from Yanyun, the commander-in-chief of Wanyan's uncle, who was the deputy general of Wanyan Lou's family, and the son of Wanyan's mother who was left behind in Datong in the past, only four Men'an, and there are

Who can despise it? Even if we don’t talk about these, what if we just talk about the dozens of ten thousand households with thousands of Han soldiers?

Are they the same thing as those two ten thousand households in Datong? We will all find out on the battlefield."

Yu Yunwen finally sneered: "So, the Jin army's combat power is uneven. Sixteen thousand households are actually the combat power of thirteen or four thousand households?"

"It's probably about 1,300,000 to 40,000 soldiers." After sighing, Hong Ya suddenly asked back. "They say that Zhao Guan's family has 17,890,000 soldiers this time. How dare I ask Yu Tanhua, how will this battle with the imperial camp end?

Is it 170,000, 180,000, or 190,000 soldiers?"

"There are two hundred thousand!" Yu Yunwen replied calmly. "Qu Dutong brought more than twenty thousand."

Hong Ya shook his head repeatedly, too lazy to argue.

The two fell silent in the tent again.

But soon, Yu Yunwen suddenly asked again: "How many new troops are there in Yanjing? Why are we so urgent in the front? Why don't we come together? Is it too late?"

Hong Ya narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when suddenly there was another crash outside the tent.

The Privy Council of the Kingdom of Jin was shocked by the decree, and hurriedly left Yu Yunwen behind and went out to investigate. However, they heard the news that "the King of Han crossed the river from upstream and came to attack in a large scale."

Of course, this King of Han was not Wu Jie, but Han Shizhong, and only Han Shizhong could create such a sensational effect on the Jin army's remaining auxiliaries and signing troops.

Obviously, after the battle between Huyantong and Balisu, the remaining units of the Imperial Left Army did not hesitate after crossing the river and chose to march directly. By this time, they must have been engaged in a full-line battle with the Jin Army's left-wing heavy group.

At least Han Shizhong's own banner has appeared on the battle line, otherwise it would never have caused such a level of shock.

"Is that a sudden speed?"

On the plains full of green seedlings, under the unparalleled banner, the tall Han Shizhong, without wearing a mask, stood directly on his horse in the drizzle that was getting slightly heavier, and then stretched out his hand with leather gloves.

One hand pointed at the Jin army in front of him.

"yes."

As a principal of the school, Wang Shixiong naturally responded.

"No wonder Hu Yan just hit him directly." Han Shizhong sneered. "But I heard from people that although Tu Hesu is lame, he is also a lot more stable... How can you make a weak horse and drag the headquarters to such an extent?

Open? Seven or eight thousand people, spread out four miles?"

Wang Shixiong fell silent immediately.

"It should be because the rear troops have not arrived, so we have no choice but to do this." Jieyuan, who had turned around at some time, suddenly appeared not far away. "The sentry knight said that the two ten thousand households parallel to each other in the south can only cover a distance of four or five miles.

"

"This is a fighter plane." Han Shizhong laughed again. "I have already said that Wang Yaksha is a good man. This must be because he made a surprise attack at Shiqiao and grabbed an extra Wanhu who was originally going to go this way... This is

Fighter!"

At the end of his words, his smile turned into a ferocious smile, and as soon as he stopped speaking, His Highness the King of Qin directly put on his copper faceplate.

From Jieyuan onwards, everyone put on their visors together, and then they were all silent, waiting for military orders.

"There's nothing to say!" Han Shizhong pointed with his finger. "The Wei army came with me on my back. They used their cavalry to control their cavalry. They rushed forward and destroyed a corner of his horse. The rest of the army was handed over to Jieyuan's command, but there was only one specialist.

My request is that we must then send troops to hold up the broken flank here so that it can no longer stretch out!"

"Here." Jie Yuan, who was behind the copper mask, answered calmly.

"That's right." Just after Han Shizhong reined in his horse and took two steps, he suddenly turned back and warned. "The Mongolian Qingqi will cross, but I can't trust them... Let them go to the far south and let Li Shifu's Dangxiang Qingqi provide my backup!"

"Five, don't worry." Jie Yuan remained calm.

A moment later, just after crossing the river, the Beiwei Army of the imperial camp's left army, which had not yet assembled fully, launched a surprise attack directly along the river. The target was the right-wing Kaizima that Tuhesu had overextended in order to control the front.

As the saying goes, people on the bridge look at the scenery, but they don't know that they are also the scenery for others. Just as Han Shizhong stared at Tu Hesu's formation and quickly established his tactics, Tu Hesu of course also noticed the big banner.

Moreover, he was a little panicked from the first moment.

No matter what the superstition or the record, no one can ignore the "unparalleled" banner, and no one can ignore Han Shizhong's imperial camp left army and his Beiwei army... After the defeat of Qiaoshan, Tuhesu

He no longer feels that he is stronger than anyone else...but the question is, what else can he do?

It was raining, his flanks were wide open, and he was facing the Huyantong Division, which had far fewer troops than his own. What reason did he have not to spread out his formation just in case?

However, Han Shizhong came so quickly and acted so decisively, what could he do? Is it possible to close the flanks at this time? Leave the space open for Han Shizhong to break through directly?

In the final analysis, it was only after the fight started that we realized that from Wang De to Hu Yantong, and then to Han Shizhong's entire army...the Song army was so powerful in this battle that it looked like it was bound to win!

"Wanhu." Just when Han Shizhong's banner began to slowly increase its speed, the Han soldier Meng An came over panting heavily. "What should I do?"

"The Song army crossed the river too fast. At this point, we can no longer hope to push forward. I'll go to the right where the cavalry and infantry join, and you go to the left where the cavalry and infantry join." Tu Hesu came to his senses and tried his best to calm down.

"Everyone performs his or her duties, and the priority is to protect the position..."

"Can this stop the King of Han from breaking through our right wing?" The Han army was still completely uneasy.

"The right wing is supposed to wipe the butt of Pu Sanbei Luna..." Tu Hesu only felt that the top of his feet was itching terribly. "Since he stopped Han Shizhong from behind, we can hold our position and not retreat, so we can be worthy of everyone!"

Meng'an of the Han army was speechless and hurried to the left wing where the cavalry and infantry were joined.

A moment later, Tu Hesu had just arrived at the junction of cavalry and cavalry on the right wing when he saw the large banner leading thousands of bronze-faced cavalry charging directly from the right side of him, almost facing the river.

Compared with the mere Kaizi Ma Yijiao on one wing, this iron cavalry is obviously more numerous, has more complete armor, has higher morale, and has stronger combat power.

The two armies met, and they almost forced themselves to see the fighting area near the river.

But there was no suspense. The big banner was like a sharp knife as always, tearing apart the people in front of him and breaking through directly... It can only be said that as an enemy, you should never doubt Han Shizhong.

Of course, this feeling of almost evasiveness disappeared immediately, because another subordinate unit of the imperial camp's left army immediately surged up, almost following Beiwei's army and pushing into the space on his right wing. Hu Yantong was also like a ghost.

Like scattered things, it directly followed his deflection of the flag and turned here.

This made Tu Hesu realize that it was time for everyone to perform their duties.

However, leaving aside the fact that Han Shizhong successfully crossed the river due to Wang De's air cover and launched an all-out attack, only that at the stone bridge, Wang De had already fallen into a completely bitter battle.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Wang De only led his four thousand lone troops across the river. Although he had the upper hand at the beginning, once his troops crossed the river and lost support, they would naturally be weak. At the same time, the Jin army in front of them could receive a steady stream of support.

.

Even without those supports, the Ali tribe itself had more than 8,000 mounted infantry soldiers, twice as many as Wang De's tribe.

Looking from a distance through the slightly denser drizzle, Wang De's flags are still coming and going, but they are obviously much slower and slower. The indomitable momentum of his troops at the beginning was also due to the suppression of troops.

Gradually it becomes difficult to show.

"Wang Zihua (Wang De), a general of the country, should not be lost lightly." In front of the Dazhai side of Huolu City, next to the dragon, there was a man-made 'watchtower' piled up hastily with debris, wood, and soil. He was being supported by someone.

Lu Yihao turned his head to speak to Zhao Guanjia who was sitting there behind him, regardless of the fact that he had sternly declared in the military meeting in the morning that no one should expect reinforcements, any unit could be wiped out. "If possible, the officials should try their best.

Save me."

On the narrow and messy man-made observation deck, there are a few lonely tables. On the table is the pot of Blue Bridge Fengyue and the lonely cup. There is still half a cup left in the cup, but I don’t know whether it is rain or wine. The armor has been replaced.

Zhao Jiu, who was sitting cross-legged behind a few desks, frowned slightly when he heard this.

Of course he also wanted to save Wang De to prevent morale damage, but the question was, what should he do to save him?

It is impossible to send troops in advance before all the 60,000 troops upstream have crossed and launched an attack. This will directly disrupt the advance plan of the main force in front of them, and the strict requirements during the previous military meeting will also become a joke.

But if the war is allowed to continue like this, perhaps Wang De's subordinates can wait for the scheduled major march according to the original plan... After all, on such a battlefield full of heavy armor, as long as it does not fall into collapse and chaos, it is difficult to reduce the number of troops on a large scale.

...and it is enough to rely on the initial advance to reduce the number of enemy troops without suffering any losses. But in this way, Wang De and his son are very dangerous, because it is obvious from the movement trajectory of the general's flag that the three of them are

He has been on the front line, fighting constantly.

In this case, once they are tired, if they are not careful, they will kill themselves as they are regarded as the primary target by the Jin army.

And this is also the fundamental reason why those who were the first to climb into battle and those who fell into battle have been respected in the military since ancient times. The courage to climb first and fall into battle is certainly heroic, but behind it is a bloody and huge risk of death.

In the midst of the dilemma, Zhao Jiu could only turn to Liu Yan, who was standing beside him, and ask briefly: "Pingfu, can you ask Li Yanxian to gather some crossbowmen across the river to suppress it and mark a safe zone?"

The latter hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "To let the officials know that the rain is getting denser and denser, and the biggest impact of rain on bows and crossbows is to make the bow strings become soft due to moisture. Once the bow strings become soft, the range will be greatly reduced.

, such a launch across the river exposes the crossbow machine, and I am afraid that it will get wet after just three arrows. Not only will it not be able to cover our troops, but it will easily cause accidental damage due to the shortened range and loss of accuracy."

"Send some elites from Stone Bridge to support?" Fan Zongyin, the chief bachelor on the side, suddenly interrupted.

"Too little is not enough to suppress the Jin army, and it doesn't make much sense; too much is likely to attract the main force of the Jin army on the high ground, which will be self-defeating." Liu Yan responded calmly.

Zhao Jiu finally fell silent, and Lu Yihao also remained silent.

"Guan family..." At this moment, Mei Qu, who was standing by, suddenly spoke. "Can I try it with the Poxi Army? The small crossbow used by the Poxi Army can be operated under an oilcloth wooden frame, and its range is longer than the crossbow.

, and the stone as big as a fist is enough to kill heavy armor and suppress the Jin army."

Zhao Jiu was immediately startled and looked at Liu Yan again.

Liu Yan thought for a moment and nodded immediately: "You can give it a try, and the Poxi Army's camels are high, so there is no need to suppress them across the river. They can cross the river from the stone bridge to support the military formation on the other side!"

Zhao Jiu did not hesitate and nodded quickly: "Let Brother Wei Mingyun go to battle!"

In other words, Brother Wei Mingyun has been following Yu Jia from the beginning of the Northern Expedition and made some achievements during the attack on Queshu Valley. However, the special organization of his unit, that is, the design of camels and small torque crossbows, is difficult to pass through the rest.

The troops were quickly replenished, so although the army did not suffer a defeat, it was reduced from the initial strength of 500 horses/person to less than 300 horses/person. At this time, it was ordered to cross the river to fight, and it was also a moment of surprise.

But once the military order was issued, there was no room for thinking. He immediately led more than 200 camel torque crossbows in his headquarters to turn to the stone bridge. At the same time, more than 100 mules and horses were also driven by the party's auxiliary soldiers to carry the polished crossbows.
To be continued...
