Chapter 1428: Great Victory

The cavalry on both sides launched an attack at about a certain time, but the infantry of the Dingbei Army did not hold their positions, but took the initiative to advance forward, and according to Xu Wen's order, the attack surface of the Jin Army was limited to a narrow width; the scouts of the Jin Army had already discovered such a move, but Wanyan was lazy and did not take it to heart, there were only 20,000 infantry troops on the opposite side, and it took time for the Shenjian Bow to be fixed, and the Dingbei Army's approach was tantamount to automatically giving up the role of the Shenjian Bow.

The Jin army calculated the distance of the Dingbei army's foot army, just three or four hundred steps away from each other, the Jin army launched an attack, and one or two hundred steps of the cavalry was just a few blinks of an eye, but when the two sides were two hundred steps away, most of the Jin army was shot by the oncoming sharp arrows before they entered the state. The Jin army didn't expect the range of the bow and arrow on the opposite side to be so far, and the two thousand cavalry at the front were shot off their horses by the bow and arrow on the opposite side almost in a careless state.

When the Jin army attacked again, the range of the Dingbei army was still far beyond the range of the Jin army, but with the help of guards, the casualty rate dropped greatly. Rao is like this, when the Jin army rushed into the distance of 100 paces of mutual fire, the loss of cavalry has reached 5,000 people, and the most important thing is to lose the best attack time, so that the Dingbei army's divine arm bow can be in place.

The power of the Divine Arm Bow was huge, coupled with the volleys of 800 repeater crossbows and 2,000 ordinary archers, the Jin army was stunned to see tens of thousands of arrows fired at the two wings of the outflanked at once from the opposite side, and there was no way to dodge at all; Wan Yan's lazy face changed, this was not a short battle, the cavalry lost nearly 30%, and his tactic of letting the cavalry avoid the wind direction of the hot air balloon completely failed.

On the other side, there was the sound of thunderbolts, which were also cavalry attacks, and the thunderbolts of the Dingbei Army accurately blew up on the twenty thunderbolts of the signing army, and the gunpowder next to the thunderbolts exploded, and the entire forward position was filled with gunsmoke, and the archers of the divine arm mixed with the thunderbolts were killed and wounded. A huge mushroom cloud floated in the air, and the choking smell of smoke could be smelled for miles away, and the magic weapon that was boasted on it injured his own people in a blink of an eye, and the signing archers in the smoke couldn't open their eyes at all.

Yang Zhongwu and Wang Gang effortlessly bypassed the thick smoke in front of them, and smashed into the already chaotic signing army from both sides, the 20,000 cavalry was just one back and forth, and the 70,000 signing army was already in a crush; as long as there were a little more people, thunderbolts would be smashed from the sky, and Wan Yan Hujisa, who was in charge of the infantry fighting, was constantly bombed around him, and finally even the banner was blown up. Wanyan Hu Jisa could only flee in a hurry, allowing his subordinates to send out retreating fireworks.

After Yan Tart's lazy side failed to break the infantry of the Dingbei Army after two charges, he saw the fall and turn of the battle flag on the side of the signing army, as well as the retreating fireworks. This was originally a signal that Wanyan Tart was lazy and Wanyan Hu had an appointment, but the problem was that the generals of the Jin Army knew this signal, and they almost didn't need to finish Yan Tart, and the generals commanded their troops to turn around and retreat.

Originally, the cavalry retreated, and the infantry couldn't keep up at all, but the range of the wheel bow was here, and unlike the divine arm bow that could not be launched in action, Xu Wen ordered two thousand wheel archers to pursue, and in the whistling sound of a wave of Polly arrows, in addition to being shot dead more than a thousand people, there were thousands of cavalry who were squeezed into the frozen river, and there was no time to escape, and those who did not surrender were shot to death by the pursuing Song army. However, most of the lazy cavalry still escaped, unlike the signing army, the infantry army was chased by the cavalry for twenty miles, and the corpses were all over the field, more than 30,000 people were killed, more than 23,000 people were captured, and more than 10,000 people fled back.

In addition to the 7,000 prisoners who had volunteered to join the Dingbei Army, Yang Zhi released the remaining 16,000 people after registering their names; after collecting the deserters, Wan Yan was lazy and withdrew to Bailu Mountain overnight, but only arranged for personnel to recapture those released by the Dingbei Army. Wanyan Tart is lazy now, and it is precisely because Yang Zhizhi is recovering Hebei that Yang Zhi still thinks that the Han prisoners in the signing army are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and he will never kill them, and a large number of people will be released every time.

Wanyan Tart is too lazy to consider the good or bad of this matter, will there be any hidden danger in recalling these people back to the army, and now Liu Yu's side is also having a headache, and after forcibly recruiting and signing the army, it has once again caused a situation of man-made rebellion everywhere in Hebei; in order not to affect the war on Wanyan Zongwang's side, Wanyan Tart is lazy and must stick to the front line of Bailu Mountain, some people are better than no one, at least these people can transport grain and grass to repair the walled city.

However, Yang Zhi vetoed Wang Yan's request to attack Wei County, and now Chang'an can mobilize only this mobile force, if he directly launches an offensive, it will be to spend his own troops in Wei County, which is not worth it in terms of resource allocation; Yang Zhi just wrote back to Wang Yan, asking him to take the opportunity to expand the scope of his activities, pull out the fortresses of the Jin army around Taihang Mountain, and then wait for the opportunity to move, but he must not think about attacking a certain important place now. After all, once Yang Zhi withdraws, Wanyan Tart is lazy and has enough pressure on Wang Yan.

Zhao Kai was happy to learn that Yang Zhi had defeated Yan Tart lazy again, and agreed that Yang Zhi would transfer Li Heng's army back to Shaanxi, and Li Heng had 10,000 people to come to Xingzhou, but there were less than 4,000 people when he left. Zhao Kai once hinted that Zhang Suo came forward to talk to Li Heng, hoping that Li Heng would take the initiative to stay by his side like Wu Jue and Li Qiong, but Li Heng refused; Li Heng's reason made Zhang Suo unable to refute it, and now Xingzhou's 200,000 army, as well as the benefit of gunpowder, did not take Xingzhou in a month, because Sun Ang and others were not prepared to attack the city at all, and when they came, they did not even prepare enough bed crossbows and catapults, and it was difficult for such an army to identify with itself.

Zhang Suo was also very helpless, he knew this situation better than anyone else, Sun Ang's idea was to take local materials, and then put the task of making equipment on Qu Duan, Li Yanxian, and Liu Ziyu;

Li Yanxian mentioned that the Xixia Palace was demolished, but the problem was that Zhang Suo and Sun Ang did not have the courage, as for letting Youzhou and other places build catapults and cloud ladders and send them over, Sun Ang directly refused, thinking that he could take down Xingzhou by relying on a simple long ladder; Zhang had no choice but to tell Zhao Kai the truth, but fortunately, Zhao Kai was like a mirror about this matter, and he didn't blame Li Heng, so he let Li Heng withdraw directly.
