Just when Qin Hui, Liu Ziyu and others followed Yue Fei to Pingding Military City, a large army was passing through the peaks and valleys of Taihang Mountain.

This is an army of golden people with red and black sun military flags!

It's a big, big army!

If you stand on the slope of the mountain road and look down, it is really quite a magnificent army, the army of generals wearing Jurchen or Khitan style robes, all leading the war horses on foot, only a few people who look like big officials swaggering on horses. The marching procession is connected from end to end, dozens of miles long! There are tens of thousands of people. The former army has already stepped into the jurisdiction of the Pingding Army, and the rear army is still in Shouyang County, Taiyuan Province.

Wanyan Zonghan, the left deputy marshal of the Dajin Kingdom, was in this army. Zong Han is about forty-five or sixteen years old, because of his perennial career as a horseman, he looks a little old, his complexion is dark and red, his beard and hair are gray, and his figure is still burly and strong, not inferior to any Jurchen warrior in his twenties and thirties in the army. He rode a tall Liaodong horse, bald and without a hat because he was afraid of the heat, and wore a white robe with a narrow sleeve and a round-necked robe, and a well-made gold belt tied around his thick waist. Except for a long sword hanging from his belt, he carried no more weapons, and he was not armoured.

Looking at him like this, it doesn't look like marching on the battlefield at all, but like going out for a hike in the spring season.

Similar to him, the commander of the army who is as relaxed as playing in the mountains and rivers, the Jin soldiers marching around Yan Zonghan are also a relaxed performance like a long journey. Most of them did not wear armor, but packed their armor and let the horses they led to carry it, apparently not at all worried that the Song army would set up an ambush and raid in the mountains.

Of course, their ease is also reasonable, because since they invaded the territory of the East Song River Road in October last year, they have not encountered any ambushes or raids. The only trouble is to attack the city, and not all cities are difficult to fight, only Taiyuan, the capital of the East Song River Road, is more difficult to bite. But this is not a problem, is it possible that the small Taiyuan city can still be cultivated and farmed? As long as the siege is hungry, there will always be a time to break it......

However, the development of things was beyond Yan Zonghan's expectations, and his plan to besiege Taiyuan Mansion was actually broken ten days ago! Because he received a gold medal order arrow from Marshal Wan Yan Xianye, who was sitting in Yanjing, and there were two other news that were absolutely surprising along with the gold medal!

The first news is that the 10,000 army led by Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong encountered a fierce attack by 50,000 elite soldiers under the command of Zhao Kai, the marshal of the soldiers and horses of Hebei in the Great Song Dynasty, near the Daimyo's Mansion! Although Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong risked their lives to fight, they were still defeated because they were outnumbered, losing more than 3,000 people...... Guo Yaoshi packed up the rest of his troops and fled to Cangzhou under the Hebei East Road of the Song Kingdom, and reported the battle report of Wei County to Marshal Wan Yan Xian in Qianfu Village in the north of Cangzhou.

The second news is even more terrifying, it is that the Eastern Route Army has lost contact!

The number of regular soldiers was as high as 60,000 (including 10,000 of Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong), and the total strength was close to 100,000 (including Ali Xi's auxiliary soldiers), and the Eastern Route Army led by the second prince Wanyan Zongwang actually lost contact, and since mid-February, there has been no news about the Eastern Route Army sent back to Yanjing.

This can make Marshal Wan Yan Xian of the capital also anxious, and the Eastern Route Army is a lone army that goes deep and goes straight to the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, Song State...... They're not going to run headlong into the legendary 800,000 forbidden army, right?

Because he was worried that Wanyan Zongwang would be killed by the 800,000 forbidden army, Wanyan Xian also immediately sent a gold medal to Wanyan Zonghan of the Western Route Army, asking him to immediately lead the main force of the Western Route Army east out of Taihang and enter the West Hebei Road, and then open up the communication line from Yanshanfu Road south to the Yellow River to meet the retreat of the Eastern Route Army.

Although he didn't believe that Wanyan Zongwang would be defeated by the 800,000 Song forbidden army...... But Wanyan Zonghan still believes that there are 800,000 forbidden troops!

How could it not be?

The Song Dynasty had a population of hundreds of millions and hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land, and even if it had a million soldiers, it only accounted for one percent of the population, and it could definitely afford to support it.

Therefore, raising 800,000 forbidden troops is really not a burden for the Song Dynasty...... Anyway, Wanyan Zonghan felt that if he became a Great Song official, he would have to raise two million forbidden troops! Otherwise, if you are so rich in the Great Song Dynasty, how many people inside and outside are worried about it, and there are no two million forbidden troops guarding in all directions, where can you sleep?

Because he believed that Wanyan Zongwang had collided with the 800,000 forbidden army, Wanyan Zonghan did not dare to slack off...... Hurriedly relieved the siege of Taiyuan Mansion. After leaving a small number of troops to garrison Xinzhou, Daizhou and Mengxian County and Shouyang County in the east of Taiyuan Prefecture, he personally led the main force of the Western Route Army to rescue Yan Zongwang.

Of course, Wanyan Zonghan couldn't tell his subordinates that the Jindong Route Army was likely to be surrounded by the 800,000 forbidden troops of the Song people...... According to the order he issued, the purpose of the Western Route Army to abandon the siege of Taiyuan and move east across the Taishan was to cooperate with the Eastern Route Army to besiege Tokyo Bianliang in the Song Kingdom!

This is to swallow up the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop and take down the flowers and rivers of the Central Plains!

Therefore, the morale of the Western Route Army is extremely high, and it can be said that everyone is vying for the lead!

However, looking at the overlapping mountains and the increasingly dim sky ahead, and watching his army slowly march through the winding valley, Wanyan Zonghan was always a little uneasy, "Wumur, how far is it from the Pingding Military City?" ”

"Back to the deputy marshal, there are still twenty miles." Half a horse behind Yan Zonghan, a middle-aged man who was a little too thin, with a large forehead, deep eyes, and three long beards, immediately replied.

"Twenty miles ......" Zong Han looked up at the sky, it is impossible for the brigade to arrive today, only the vanguard can approach the Pingding Military City after dark, "Give Yelu Yu an order, let him work harder, and before dawn tomorrow, the Pingding Military City will be surrounded!" ”

......

Because of Yan Zonghan's order, the situation on the side of the Pingding Army took a sharp turn for the worse, and in the early morning of the next day when Yue Fei led people to protect Liu Ziyu and Qin Hui into the Pingding Military City, a large number of gold thieves suddenly rushed to the vicinity of the Pingding Military City!

Before dawn, Yue Fei was already standing at the highest point of the Pingding Military City, looking down at the enemy who had suddenly appeared and surrounded the city.

The name on the flag of the general's recognition, which was erected two or three miles away, was written in Jurchen characters. Yue Fei didn't know this kind of writing that looked a bit like Khitan characters, and no one in the army could recognize it. If there were people in the pacification army who knew the Jurchen characters, they would know that the one who brought the troops to pacify the army this time was the marshal of the Dajin Kingdom, the right capital eunuch Yelu Yujian.

Although I don't know the words on the flag of Yelu Yuzhen, among the 2,000 generals in the military city of Pingding, many people know the black red flag of the golden soldiers - the flag is composed of black and red, and there is a golden sun on it.

In Taiyuan Mansion, next door to the Pingding Army, there are already many walled cities in the sky, raising this flag symbolizing the Dajin Kingdom.

The Song army here in the Pingding Army originally thought that the golden thieves would slowly take most of the cities in Taiyuan, Xinzhou, Daizhou and other places, and then choose to go east or south.

Unexpectedly, the gold thieves who were attacking the city around Taiyuan suddenly sent thousands of elites directly into the Pingding Army, and the Song Army here was caught off guard - in fact, it was not taken by surprise, and Captain Ji of the Pingding Army noticed that something was wrong a few days earlier. Therefore, the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command have been put on guard, and the more than 1,000 military horses in the Pingding Military Horse Farm have also moved to Niangzi Pass early in the morning, and many hard detectives and secret outposts have been sent to ambush in the nearby mountains.

But these preparations of his are of little use in front of the gold thief who has absolute superiority. On March 11, the eighth year of Xuanhe, the military city was surrounded by at least 5,000 gold thieves.

And Qin Hui, Liu Ziyu and Yue Fei were all trapped in the military city of Pingding.
