Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Wanyan Zongwang's army is in the easternmost part of Zhongmu County, west of Kaifeng Mansion, camped, lined up, stretching for several miles, it is quite spectacular, and it is only about ten miles away from the first line of defense of the Song army.

Originally, he thought that the tentative battle, the Song army was so defeated, must have suffered a great loss of morale, how to wait for a search to come back, the soldiers and civilians of Kaifeng Mansion were high morale, excited, and his heart was full of surprise, he was the first time to see the morale of the defeated battle was higher than the morale of the victorious battle, and quickly asked the reason, only to know that this qiē was because of a big lie by Li Qisa.

But Wanyan Zongwang is angry, you can't be so shameless, it's obviously thousands of you, who were beaten by a thousand rangers of our army and can't fight back, how can you say that you defeated us and returned, that's my own retreat, it's okay, you just say so, there is even the face to say that our soldiers will only run faster on their horses, and you know to escape, you are completely reversing black and white, if there is an international court, Wanyan Zongwang is afraid that he will really sue Li Qi for defamation, don't wait to fool people like this.

Later, he learned that Li Qi was in the northern military camp at the time, which made Wanyan Zongwang even more depressed.

Dare to get to the end, or we are defeated!

Those generals of the Jin Army were also angry and devastated, and they all said that they would teach the Song Army a good lesson.

After calming down, Wanyan Zongwang had to admire Li Qi's methods in his heart, he knew that Li Qi was deliberately sending troops to pursue at that time, deliberately creating momentum, and being able to make the most beneficial choice for himself in such a short period of time, this is definitely a competent commander.

Wanyan Zongwang thought to himself, he must not give Li Qi this kind of opportunity again, and he will continue like this. Once the other party's soldiers and civilians are confident, they will have to be killed just by the number of people, when he fought with Yan Agu. It is understood that to fight more with less, momentum is the most important. If you want to completely annihilate the opponent, you must first fight until the opponent is afraid of you and crush them in one fell swoop.

Originally, he was preparing to attack from both sides in the northwest. The north feints, and the west is the main attack, but this is based on the situation that the other party is defending the dead city, but now since the other party intends to fight them to the death. Then he naturally had to change his strategic plan, deploy all his forces to the west and west, and prepare to attack from this west.

On the whole, attack your first line of defense first, so as to give the Song army a dismount.

Pharmacist Guo offered another suggestion. It is said that since the enemy has deployed his forces outside the city, then the city must be empty, and the Bianhe River and Jinshui River in the west can lead to the city, so these two rivers should be taken first, and the bridges near them have been blown up by the Song army. If you don't seize the bridge in the hands of the Song army, it will be inconvenient to deploy troops.

He is really too familiar with the terrain of the capital, and he is a military general, so he naturally knows the importance of these rivers and roads.

After hearing this, Wanyan Zongwang felt that it made sense, and he had already seen that the Song army was a deep formation with a light front and a heavy back, unless a general attack was launched, otherwise, if only one side was attacked, the other party could come to the rescue very calmly, so he ordered Liu Yanzong to lead 5,000 cavalry to attack the Song soldiers stationed at Xishui Bridge on the outskirts of the Bianhe River, also known as Wanyan Zongbi to lead 5,000 cavalry to attack the Song army stationed on the Jinshui River.

Of course, the main role of these two roads is to cover, because the primary goal of Wanyan Zongwang is to occupy Mutuogang, this is a military land, once it is broken, the morale of the Song army will be greatly damaged, but the terrain of the military land, the terrain must be quite complicated, only one person can take on this important task, this person is Guo Yaoshi, because he is most familiar with the terrain of Mumogang, if you send Yan Zongbi, or other people to go, I am afraid that you will not even be able to find the land.

Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang ordered the 8,000 victorious army of his headquarters led by Guo Yaoshi to launch an attack from the northwest and take Mu Huogang directly.

And after the three-way army was dispatched, he immediately ordered the camp to advance five miles, causing a black cloud to overwhelm the city and want to destroy the momentum, and the Song army had almost reached a point where they could face each other.

As soon as this Zhongmu County came out, it was the West Water Bridge of the Bianhe River.

At dusk, Liu Yanzong took the lead from the south bank to launch a fierce attack on the Song army stationed near the Xishui Bridge on the Bianhe River, and the five thousand soldiers and horses he brought were still mostly Liao troops, and there were some Han people, among whom there were no Jurchens, the Jurchens were very precious, Wanyan Zongwang felt that he was in the first place, and he couldn't send Jurchen soldiers to go, but don't underestimate these Liao troops, although their combat ability is not as good as the Jurchens, but they are several grades higher than the Song soldiers, the most important thing is that they hate the Song people to the core, you stab us in the back at a critical time, It is worse than the Jurchens, and this way south, they are more brave than the Jurchens, and they look down on the Song people in their hearts.

It's really an enemy meeting, and it's very red-eyed.

The five thousand cavalry rushed over like a urine collapse.

Inspired by Li Qi's lies, the Song army was not as frightened as at the beginning, stationed in these 6,000 Song soldiers, and launched a battle with the enemy on the bridge, which was remodeled, very strong, with fortresses and towers, and as soon as the enemy entered the firing range, the Song army first relied on the artillery carriage and fired burning shells, which were cannonballs, that is, stones, to bombard the enemy, destroy their impact formation, and then rely on bows and crossbows to block the enemy.

Fireballs with flames, although they have no explosive power, but every time they fall on the opposite side, they are flying sideways.

However, the Jin army was not a vegetarian either, and immediately spread out the formation, trying to avoid losses, relying on the impact of the cavalry, and after being slightly hindered, finally broke through the fortress on the south bank.

The Song army hurriedly retreated to the other side of the bridge, reorganized the second line of defense, the Jin army rushed to the bridge, but was shot by the Song army is the person on the back of the horse, the person in front fell, and hindered the people who rushed up behind, the heavy infantry of the Song Dynasty held a shield, axe, took advantage of the situation to cover, launched hand-to-hand combat, and killed the enemy, the cavalry lost its impact, that is, the vegetable in the hands of the infantry, and forced the Jin army to retreat to the opposite bank.

Subsequently, the two sides began to enter a state of firing at each other, and the Jin army's repeated attacks were forced back by the Song army.

As soon as the Song army saw that he could fight back and forth with the Jin army, although his side also suffered heavy losses, but for the Song army, this was a win, and he was very excited. The more you fight, the more you fight, the more confident you become. The guard general Bi Zhan calmly commanded, and the Song army was thriving. The Jin army has always been unable to rush through, which can be seen. This soldier really fought out, if this was broken by the Jin army at the beginning, then they must have no power to fight back.

Although Liu Yanzong was very cautious, he still underestimated the Song army, he thought that the Song army guarding here was definitely not elite, and he would definitely run away as soon as he rushed. Therefore, he didn't play anything false, so he rushed up directly, who knew that the Song army was so tenacious. I feel remorseful in my heart.

Only then did he really see the power of the Song army's weapons, and if he continued to attack the opposite bank, the narrow terrain was not suitable for cavalry charging at all, and he continued to attack. Even if it wins, it will be a pyrrhic victory.

However, your 5,000 soldiers and horses were repelled by the Song army's 6,000 Song army, so he really had no shame to go back to see Yan Zongwang.

At this critical moment, a cavalry suddenly came out on the opposite bank. This group of cavalry was extremely brave, wielding scimitars, like a whirlwind, rushing towards the Song army's position.

Since it was already night, he couldn't see who the other party was, but when Liu Yanzong heard the sound of killing, it was Jurchen, and knew that his reinforcements had arrived, and no matter who sent them, he immediately reorganized the soldiers and launched a fatal blow.

The Song army on the other side saw that an army had suddenly been killed from behind, and they panicked and didn't know how to fight.

Seeing that these two Jin armies formed a combined encirclement, and they were about to encircle and annihilate these Song soldiers like a storm, suddenly a cavalry came out from the east, led by Yue Fei's younger brother, Yue Turn.

It turned out that Wanyan Zongwang thought that in this first battle, there could be no mistakes in any case, for the sake of safety, so he quietly sent two thousand Jurchen cavalry to the back to detour to the other side of the river, waiting for the opportunity to move, who knew that it would really come in handy.

After Yue Fei learned that the enemy was attacking the Xishui Bridge, he immediately understood the enemy's intentions and hurriedly sent Yue Flip to the rescue, but I have to say that the Song army is not as fast as the Jin cavalry, and the Jin army is active in attacking, and the Song army is passive defense, everything is always a beat slow, if you arrive one step earlier, the situation may be very different.

This can be said to be a real head-to-head confrontation between the two sides.

Several armies were mixed up and killed in the dark.

Hedging on the open terrain on this riverbank, the advantages of the Jin army's cavalry were fully exerted, and these two thousand were Jurchen soldiers, one person was equipped with several war horses, all of them were like wolves and tigers, brave and good at fighting, and after several hedging, the Song army was defeated and retreated.

There was no way to do this, the favorable terrain was lost, the positional warfare was lost, and the Song army was really not the opponent of the Jurchen soldiers.

Although Yue Chuan fought desperately, he was still unable to recover the defeat in the end, and he himself was almost beheaded by the general under Wanyan Zongwang's account.

Seeing that if the fight continued, the whole army would be annihilated, Yue Tuo could only choose to retreat, but he couldn't outrun the Jin army, the two Jin armies were combined into one, and they were in hot pursuit.

Suddenly, another fleet of boats appeared on the river, and a dense burst of arrows fell from the sky and shot at the golden soldiers.

Whoosh!

Boom Boom!

The flames were shining, thick smoke was billowing out, and the smoke was enveloped in the golden army.

Jin Jun saw that there was still an ambush here, and it was night, so he didn't dare to chase again, in fact, as long as he avoided the river bank and continued to chase, there was nothing this fleet could do with them.

Under the cover of this smoke, Yue flipped back with the remnants of the army.

When the fleet saw that Yue had flipped away, they didn't dare to stay long, so they hurried back.

With the loss of the Xishui Bridge, the Bianhe River on the periphery was also completely under the control of the Jin people, although Wanyan Zongwang lost more than imagined in the first battle, but his strategic goal had been achieved, annihilating the Song army guarding the Bianhe.

The Great Tent of the Song Army.

Although Yue Chuan did not come back, the news of the loss of Jinshui Bridge had already come.

Almost at the same time, the sentry came to report that two Jin armies were heading in the direction of the Jinshui River and the northwest.

Yue Fei frowned and said, "Bu Shuai, the enemy army wants to avoid our land defenses and directly attack the city from the Jinshui River and the Bianhe River. ”

Li Qi said: "There is this possibility, it's a pity." When he said this, he didn't say any more, he actually wanted to say that when Song Huizong left, he also brought a large number of ships and boatmen, so that there were very few ships in Kaifeng, and he didn't expect that Wanyan Zongwang would want to attack from the waterway.
