With the collapse of the city wall, the mortar artillery in front of the formation began to fire to cover the assault troops to attack the city, although Qigou Pass is a Xiongguan, but it is only a mile radius, tens of thousands of people are crowded in the pass, the troops are concentrated, but it is also crowded, and every falling flowering bomb will cause a lot of casualties. The power of the siege artillery just now has already made the Jin army tremble, and the destruction of the city means that it has lost its most support, and it also marks the fall of a city, and their mood at this moment can be imagined.

Seeing that the Zhongshan Luzhou Army rushed into the gap, Zhao Yong urgently ordered to stop the shelling, "The Tiger General 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade will break through to the city, and the rest of the brigades will form a glaive formation to prepare to pursue and kill the enemy troops out of the city, and the Dragon General and the Tiger Wing Army will then follow up and clean up the battlefield!" ”

"Kill..."

"Kill..."

Seeing that the Song army had rushed in, and the Jin army also knew what the fall of the city of Ludao meant, they roared and went up to try to plug the gap and expel the Song army from the city. The two armies soon collided and staged a fierce battle on the gap that was not too wide, the clashing of swords and guns, the shouts of the soldiers, and the screams of the seriously wounded were mixed together, blood splattered, bones and tendons broken, like hell on earth.

"Yue Yun, go up to the city wall and drive the Jin army down!" Yue Fei flew with a long knife in his hand and cut down a Jin general, and glanced at the battlefield, the Jin army had already gone up the city wall and rushed towards the gap, and the narrow gap was full of the corpses of soldiers on both sides, and seeing that the Song army that had just broken through would be attacked from three sides, he shouted.

"Yes, you follow me!" As soon as Yue Fei's voice fell, a young man with an iron bone in one hand and a shield in the other agreed to lead more than a dozen soldiers who followed him to climb along the broken wall to the city wall.

Yue Yun put the shield on top of his head to block the stray arrows, and took the lead in climbing the city wall with swords and guns, and the shield in his left hand separated a long knife cut by the head of the Jin army. The iron bone in his right hand had been smashed head-on, and the soldiers of the Jin Army saw it badly. Dodge sideways. But the iron cone was too fast to dodge the head. Sold his shoulder to Yue Yun, although he was wearing iron armor, he still couldn't withstand the blow, and with a muffled 'bang', the lower half of his body was smashed by the heavy iron bones. Killing the Jin army that was blocking the way, Yue Yun looked back and saw that none of the soldiers behind him had followed, but he was not timid, he threw off the shield in his hand, and took off the other iron bone tied to his back with his backhand.

Jin Jun, who pounced on him, was a little frightened when he saw it, the child in front of him was only fourteen or five years old, but he was wearing a pair of short-handled iron bones. This is an ordinary weapon, through heavy blows to break the armor, but the bone head in this child's hand is several times larger, exuding a ghostly light, it must be made of wrought iron, and there are forty or fifty catties per handle, if it is smashed on the body, it will be crippled!

Yue Yun didn't care what the Jin soldiers thought, and smashed the group with his head on his head, which was really death. Stained with injuries, he beat the Jin army who rushed up with the strength of one person, and he couldn't move forward for a while, and the Song army, which was more in this vacancy, also went to the city. The scuffle began again, but the situation was stabilized, and the Song army finally rushed into Qigou Pass.

And at the same time. The Tiger General's sappers stepped forward again to blast the blockage in the opening. The passage was cleared, and a large number of Song troops poured into the city. They dispersed the enemy troops near the city gate with random guns, established a foothold and spread out to the two wings, and then the Song army entering the city lined up with a platoon of guns to fire a row, knocking down the Jin army trying to recapture the city gate in pieces, and took control of the city gate. The dragoons, ready to attack, finally rode into the city, slashed the Jin army along the streets, and rushed forward...

………

After capturing Qigou Pass, Zhao Yong urged his troops to cover up and kill, pursued the defeated Jin army, and met Wanyan Zongfu's reinforcements thirty miles from Zhuozhou in the early morning of the next day. At this time, 50,000 Song troops gathered near Zhuozhou, and when they learned that the Jin army was approaching, the main force of the Song army immediately stepped forward to meet them, intending to break through the blockade while the Jin army was not firmly established.

The Jin army also reacted quickly, and when they saw that the Song army had taken Qigou Pass, they hurriedly concentrated their forces on Fanyang City, established a defensive line from east to west in front of the city, and controlled the main road to Yanjing City. Zongfu was also anxious to break the crisis this time, wanting to take advantage of the Song army's long way, and he had just experienced a vicious battle, and wanted to pick up a bargain, so he took Yan Xiyin's advice not to rush into battle, led his troops forward, tried to defeat the Song army in front of him, and turned around to fight the Song army in the south again.

The Jin army that participated in the battle concentrated a total of 50,000 troops, and the right flank of the battle line started from the Liu Li River, and the left flank reached Zhuoshui, and the front of both flanks was covered by swamps, and the center of the battle line was located in Jixian Town, outside Fanyang City. They adopted the classic arrangement, with the infantry in two lines in the center and the cavalry on either side also in two lines to protect the flanks, while the Jin army placed spearheads in the river in front of the right flank to harass the Song army.

Because the Jin army had suffered the losses of the army led by Zhao Ta, the entire battle line was stretched to more than ten miles to prevent the Song army from adopting the usual tactics of breaking through in the middle and outflanking the two flanks. In order to reduce the whole formation was interspersed with the Song army, it was surrounded in a roundabout way. However, this formation also has disadvantages, that is, it is not conducive to establishing defensive depth, and it makes it more difficult to coordinate command. The veteran Wanyan Sosuke also thought of this, and based on his previous experience, he specially sent the defeated army to return to Yinshu to reorganize the defeated army into a team of four thousand people as a reserve to deal with unexpected situations.

Zhao Yong sent troops to constantly harass the Jin army at the same time, but also began to mobilize the army to set up the formation, in the Yin Shi whole team of the Song army rushed to the battlefield, their actions were quite hidden, keep silent, and soon entered the battlefield under the cover of the morning fog, in order to deal with the Jin army, Zhao Yong concentrated all the troops he could mobilize, a total of two generals of the Dragon General and the Tiger Wing Army of the forbidden army and the Zhongshan Luzhou Army and three artillery corps more than 60 artillery. Now the strength of the two armies is equal, but if you want to win a battle, capture Zhuozhou, and come to Yanjing City, you still need to win this battle.

Although the Jin army was fully prepared, it was still captured by Zhao Yong, and he found that there was an earthen beam about two zhang high on the right front wing of the Jin army, which not only blocked the view of the Jin army, but also made it convenient for the Song army to observe the deployment of the Jin army, and also covered the Song army's engagement action. The heights were defended by a thousand-strong Jin army, and the Song army sent a battalion of dragoons to surprise the heights, not only defeating the Jin army in one fell swoop, but also capturing hundreds of Jin soldiers.

After the morning fog subsided, Zhao Yong rode his horse to the high ground, and the deployment of the Jin army was unobstructed under the telescope, but after careful observation, the results were not very optimistic. The right flank of the Jin army was difficult to break through, and although its left flank had the opportunity to be detoured, it was swampy and thawed, but then the puddles of ice ballast and bare reeds would hinder the movement. However, through the banner and clothing, Zhao Yong saw that most of the cavalry deployed on the left flank of the Jin army were garrisoned by Khitans and Bohai people, and there would inevitably be some problems in the command and coordination of its various units, and there were still opportunities to take advantage of it.

So Zhao Yong decided to use oblique attack tactics, the main direction of attack on the left flank of the Jin army, in order to confuse the enemy, Zhao Yong ordered the dragon general to send the vanguard cavalry to attack forward, creating the illusion that the Song army was attacking the right flank of the Jin army. This plan quickly worked, and the commander of the right wing of the Jin army believed it and hurriedly asked for help from Yinshuke, who led the reserve.

Because the view was blocked by the high ground, this time even the experienced and cautious Yinshu Ke who had just suffered defeat was also hit, and hurriedly transferred the reserve to the right flank. Then, Sosuke also transferred a part of the cavalry from the left flank to the right flank. These transfers had an irreparable impact on the defense system of the Jin army, and also laid the root cause...

Since the Jin army was never aware of the Song army's actions, Zhao Yong was able to calmly deploy. He ordered the three hussar brigades of the dragon generals to take advantage of the cover of the high ground and use the four-way column to take a detour to the left flank of the Jin army as the main attack and break through the enemy position. The two infantry brigades of the Tiger Wing Army, which were arranged in the rear army, were in the center of the attack formation, with ten rapid-fire guns on their left side as cover, and the 20 command infantry corps under the jurisdiction of the Zhongshan Luzhou Army lined up in a follow-up echelon to be responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the enemy. The entire Song army was lined up from right to left in a typical diagonal formation.

After the battle began, all units of the Song army would attack from right to left as a unit of command, and the time difference between each command was fifty paces, and the command on the far right was about a thousand steps faster than the commander on the left, so it only took about a quarter of an hour for all the attacking troops to enter the battle, like waves of the sea, which swept the left flank of the Jin army until it was crushed in one fell swoop. After that, the armies behind them also attacked in this way, with the infantry providing cover and the cavalry expanding the victory.

After noon, the Song army began to attack, and under the cover of artillery fire, the dragon general took the lead in the attack. The battle was just like Zhao Yong's estimate, the corps composed of these surrendered troops on the left flank of the Jin army, in the face of the fierce attack of the Song army, they lacked training and combat experience, and the infantry arranged on the front line collapsed in an instant under the impact of the long cavalry spears of the dragon generals, and even the nearby Jurchen regiments were also affected and fled without a fight.

The Song army was overwhelmed, the left flank troops disintegrated and gradually collapsed, and even the cavalry on the second line retreated one after another, trying to re-establish the defensive line. However, the Song army's hussars attacked too fiercely, disconnected from most of them, and it was very dangerous to lose the cover of the infantry army and fall into the enemy formation, so they had to retreat and wait for the infantry to catch up, but the Song army's 'right hook fist' also unloaded the entire left arm of the Jin army.

While the right flank of the Song army was fighting fiercely, the Jin army was also attacking the Song army in a roundabout way, and Wanfu Wan Yan Mengshi led a team of 10,000 people to make a detour to the left flank of the Song army. Unfortunately, his nightmare was complicated, and the undulating sand dunes on the river beach were overgrown with bushes, which were not suitable for the cavalry to maneuver quickly, and greatly affected the speed of his attack. When they detoured back to the Song army from the right flank, they were met with fierce fire from the 1st Brigade of the Tiger Wing Army defending the front of the left flank.

However, the cavalry of the Jin Army, composed of Jurchens, fought bravely, not comparable to those miscellaneous cards, and they immediately joined the battle in the rain of bullets, and the two sides started a tragic melee... (To be continued......)
