Wanyan Zongwang was ready to withdraw the troops on the whole line at this time, because of the arrival of the King of Han, he already knew that the opportunity to conquer Bianliang had been missed, and the two sides had been regarded as peace talks, and the Song State also gave five million compensation, and also sent the prince Zhao Kai and the prime minister Zhang Bangchang as hostages, and also promised to hand over Taiyuan Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, and Hejian Mansion, and the withdrawal of troops was an inevitable choice in this case.

Because he was ready to retreat, Wanyan Zongwang was unwilling to take risks, at least now he was not ready to fight with Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, and the decisive battle was still far away, so there was no need for the whole army to press.

Wanyan Wushu did not agree with Wanyan Zongwang's arrangement, he said unconvinced: "Song Guoshu is weak, maybe that Han King Liu Zhenglong has some ability, but in front of our powerful Jin army, it is still vulnerable, as long as our whole army presses it, we will definitely be able to annihilate it." If you make such an arrangement now, if we can't defeat the Song army, won't we suffer heavy casualties, and besides, we should take advantage of its unstable foothold to strangle it, and when the Song army recovers, it will be difficult to annihilate it again. ”

Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and said impatiently: "If Liu Zhenglong is vulnerable, the 50,000 army led by Wanyan Zongqi can be annihilated with your cooperation." But if the 80,000-strong army can't win, it means that the enemy has already laid an ambush, and even if the whole army presses it, it may not be able to bargain. Besides, the Song army claims to be one million, and now we have only annihilated 500,000, if our whole army is pressed to fight with the 170,000 army under Liu Zhenglong, and hundreds of thousands of troops suddenly pour up, and attack from inside and outside, then our army is very likely to be annihilated. You must know that the population of the Great Song Dynasty is 70 or 80 million, and if you calculate it according to the ratio of 1 out of 20, you can organize an army of 3 to 4 million, and what we annihilated is only a part of it. This year, the conditions for the destruction of the Song State have been lost, and what we need to do now is to evacuate safely, rather than take a desperate risk. The other fourth brother, your task is to finish receiving Yan Zongqi, and you are definitely not charging to the front line. ”

The small number of people in the Jin country is a fatal wound, and Wanyan Wushu does not deny this, since Wanyan Zongwang has made up his mind, no matter how much he argues, he can only lead his troops to the battle.

Although Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Zongqi are brothers, there is no affection between these half-brothers, on the contrary, there are many contradictions, but Wanyan Zongwang still sent them on the expedition. Wanyan Zongqi, who had excellent military command ability, led 20,000 Jurchen warriors, while Wanyan Zongwang, who was slightly inferior, led 30,000 vassal troops, one left and one right, and slaughtered towards Qingluan Town. The arrangement of this battle is debatable, and it is indeed a beautiful mistake for Wanyan Zongwang and the two brothers to let these two brothers go on the expedition.

Qingluan Town has long been surrounded by water, the outside of the town has been dug a deep trench, and the Jin army inside does not want to come out of it, this is the trajectory of Wu Yong, no matter how the Jin army rescues, and no matter whether the Han army can finally defeat the Jin army, the three thousand Jin army under the command of Brother Wanyan Qi will be trapped and killed in Qingluan Town.

In the whole town, there is no food at all. The rations of the Jin army are only enough to last for three days, and if they can't break through within three days, then they will be short of food, and the whole army will starve to death in Qingluan Town.

This time, Liu Zhenglong prepared with both hands, for fear that the Jin army would eventually choose a decisive battle, so he personally took command of this battle and must win this war related to the fate of the Great Song Dynasty.

Not to be perfect, not enough to be comprehensive, not to be perfect, not to be eternal, not enough to seek a lifetime. Although Liu Zhenglong expected that Yan Zongwang would not return to the whole army, in order to prevent accidents, he still made the deployment according to the dispatch of the whole army of the Jin army.

Once the Jin army is pressed and the whole army is defeated, then the Shuangmu River Bank is the last battle, and the naval army will intervene and use the Que Yue Great Array invented by Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to resist the enemy and ensure that it is ultimately undefeated.

The siege of Qingluan Town was only a superficial arrangement, in fact, from the moment Qingluan Town dug a trench, the Jin army in the town did not want to break through, Liu Zhenglong did not think about annihilating it at all, but trapped this Jin army alive in the town.

The 170,000-strong army was ready to go, and it was not the cavalry that everyone expected to meet the enemy head-on, but all the infantry, and when it was finally determined that only 50,000 troops of the Jin army came to win the rescue, and 30,000 were used as the response, the defense was greatly adjusted, and almost all the previous deployments were overturned.

Now the 170,000 army is divided into three parts, the left 30,000 Longwei army is handed over to Hua Rong to lead, Lu Junyi is the deputy general, the 60,000 cavalry on the right is still led by Hebron (50,000 front army, prepared for the annihilation of Jin reinforcements, 10,000 rear army to prevent Wanyan Qige from breaking out from Qingluanchuan for the tour), and in the middle is 90,000 infantry, Liu Zhenglong personally fought in the center, in fact, the Chinese army is divided into three parts, respectively, the front army of 30,000 led by Wang Yin to meet the impact of the Jin cavalry, the Chinese army of 30,000 led by Xu Ning, responsible for receiving the front army, Then the 30,000 troops were led by Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, who was in charge of the palace, and at the same time monitored Luanchuan Town to prevent the Jin army from really running out.

Ambushing 90,000 troops head-on to meet the impact of 50,000 Jin cavalry, this is a smoke bomb laid by Liu Zhenglong, and it can also be regarded as a sinkhole dug for the Jin army. Whether it was Wanyan Zongqi who was defeated in the Battle of Yinshan, or Wanyan Zonggu, who was brave and resourceful, he couldn't see through this sinkhole, even if he saw through it, unless he withdrew the army, he would definitely get in. Even if you don't get in, it still can't change the fate of defeat.

Liu Zhenglong's idea for this battle is very simple, Wanyan Zongqi and Wanyan Zonggu are at odds with each other, and it is very likely that the two brothers will divide their troops, one left and one right. No matter which army of 60,000 people encountered Hebron along the way, they will be surrounded and annihilated. And those who encounter Huarong's 30,000 army, once they are entangled, then it will be difficult to get out, and the 90,000 army will be directly outflanked, and the 30,000 cavalry and 90,000 infantry will be encircled, even if Wanyan Zongwang personally leads the army, it is difficult to change the fate of being completely annihilated.

The ideal result is that the two brothers will join forces together, and in the safest way, 50,000 cavalry will attack the large formation of 90,000 infantry, and then the cavalry on the left and right flanks will outflank them and encircle them, and finally annihilate them. No matter what kind of reaction the 30,000-strong army of Yan Wushu made, it was powerless to turn the tide of the battle.

This three-talent formation is a lineup repeatedly deduced by Liu Zhenglong, Wang Yin, Li Zhu and others, even if the whole Jin army is pressed this time, at least it can ensure that the army will naturally retreat to Shuangmu River and will not be defeated by the Jin army.

Liu Zhenglong is in charge of the Chinese army, he doesn't know how the Jin army will eventually send troops, whether the 50,000 in front is a bait, if it is a bait, then the army will be pressed behind, so he will press the Chinese army and not go to the premise.

The relationship between Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Zongqi has always been bad, mainly because Wanyan Zongqi's mother is the eldest concubine (similar to the queen and princess of the Song Dynasty), although Wanyan Wu Qimai died before he ascended the throne, but he suppressed Wanyan Zonggu's mother to the death, and finally forced his mother to death. The two brothers can be said to have been incompatible ten years ago, but they are only superficially harmonious.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't arrange it this time, but why it was arranged like this, maybe he didn't figure it out himself, maybe it was the defeat in the last battle of Yinshan, and he lost confidence in Wanyan Zongqi. Compared with Wanyan Zongqi's fiery temperament and reckless radicalism, Wanyan Zonggu is obviously much more mature and stable, maybe this is the reason why Wanyan Zongwang made a choice, as for right and wrong, only after the war can know.

Sure enough, after the army set off, Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Zongqi took care of each other, and neither of them urinated on each other, especially Wanyan Zonggu led the team for the first time, this guy wanted to make a name for himself and prove that he was the best.

In the Jin Kingdom, strength has always been respected as the king, rather than the son inheriting the father's business, and there is no distinction between concubines and concubines. After the death of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, it was the emperor's younger brother Wanyan Wu who inherited the throne, not Wanyan Zonggan, nor Wanyan Zongwang. And the next successor to the throne is Wanyan Wu's younger brother Wanyan Xianye, not Wanyan Zongqi or Wanyan Zonggu.

Wanyan Zonggu can only prove that he is better than Wanyan Zongqi through his own efforts, and it is obvious that this battle is very important. It's a pity that he can only lead 30,000 vassal troops in this battle, but Wanyan Zongqi, who is the eldest son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Wu Qimai, leads 20,000 Jurchen warriors, this is the difference between the concubine and the concubine, and this cannot be changed.

When there were still thirty miles away from Qingluan Town, the scout reported the situation of the Han army to Wanyan Zongqi, Wanyan Zonggu, although the two were very hostile to each other, but the importance of this battle was self-evident, so the two of them temporarily abandoned their prejudices and discussed how to fight.

Wanyan Zonggu said: "This battle is very important for the Song army, once they are defeated, then the Great Song Dynasty will have no chance to fight back at all, so this battle, the Song army is a battle against the water, it must have made detailed preparations, and the siege of Brother Yan Qi is actually a bait, in fact, he wants to involve us in it, this battle, we must fight skillfully, and we can't fall for that person's tricks." ”

Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. No matter how big the contradictions are on weekdays, when the war is coming, the two brothers Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Zongqi still temporarily abandon their prejudices and go all out to fight.

After all, Wanyan Zongqi had experienced the Battle of Yinshan, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "All along, we have been cavalry sweeping the world, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under Liu Zhenglong is not inferior to our Jin army. In individual combat, our Jin Army may still have a certain advantage, but once it is a large-scale battle, we really have no advantage. Their heavy cavalry is more powerful than our Tiefutu, their armor is much lighter, their combat endurance is strong, and their defense is on par with Tiefutu, and once the battle is deadlocked, their heavy cavalry will drag down Tiefutu. In addition, the most lethal is firearms, and we have always thought that firearms are chicken ribs and have no use for eggs. However, in the battle of Yinshan, firearms showed great might, and they were a sharp weapon for the Song army to win. This time, the Song army has infantry, cavalry, I mean, we will attack their infantry as fast as possible, as long as we crush the infantry and rescue Brother Yan Qige, it will be a big victory. ”

"Okay, then this time, we'll attack their Chinese army. I will lead my army to charge their infantry in front, and you will lead your army to cover and prevent their cavalry from outflanking them. "Wanyan Zonggu still wants to take the lead, he needs battle merits too much, so he wants to take the lead.

Wanyan Zongqi shook his head and said: "I am leading our Jurchen warriors, and the combat effectiveness is stronger, or I am responsible for the sprint, and you will cover it." ”

"No, let's charge together, one left and one right will rush their infantry with a thunderous force, as long as they crush their large array, even if the cavalry surrounds them, it will be too late." How could Wanyan Zonggu give up the opportunity to charge into battle to Wanyan Zongqi, this opportunity was missed, and it will be difficult to have another chance in the future.

At this moment, Wanyan Zongqi understood that his brother still couldn't give up his hatred in his heart, since this Wanyan Zonggu didn't regard himself as a brother, then why did he have to stick a cold ass with that hot face? He smiled and said: "Then in this case, let's sprint with all our strength on the left and right, don't entangle too much with the infantry, if you can't break the infantry formation in a short time, there is a danger of being surrounded." ”

"Don't worry, let's see who breaks through the Song army's formation first." Perhaps, Wanyan Zonggu is a little jealous of the enemy's cavalry, but for the infantry of the Song State, hehe, he is just hehe, you must know that since the invasion of the Song Dynasty, the Song army has fled in despair, where dare to block the iron hooves of the Jin cavalry.

In this way, the two Jin cavalry covered the past one on the left and one on the right, and on the left was the 20,000 Jurchen cavalry led by Wanyan Zongqi, which was also the most powerful cavalry in this era, and until the rise of the Mongol cavalry, the Jurchen cavalry was the strongest. On the right is the 30,000 vassal army led by Wanyan Zonggu, the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is also very strong, at least in the face of the Song army, it is still a big killing, as for how strong it is, to be honest, no one can say clearly.

Liu Zhenglong saw through the clairglass that the two cavalry, one on the left and one on the right, were covering and killing like a whirlwind, and he knew that this time Wanyan Zongwang was conservative and did not press the whole army, so it seemed that he had some scruples.

Since Wanyan Zongwang has reservations, let this king teach you a lesson. Liu Zhenglong sent an order to Wang Yin of the former army, asking the former army to suppress the Jin cavalry with bows and arrows, delay the speed of the Jin army's sprint, and win time for the Chinese army. At the same time, Xu Ning, who sent an order to the Chinese army, to let the spearmen set up a large defensive formation, and leave enough space between each row for the archers to shoot arrows, so that the archers of the front army could quickly retreat. You must know that there are only 5,000 spearmen in the 30,000 army of the front army, and all the rest are crossbowmen, and if they cannot retreat in time, they will become lambs to the slaughter.

The task of the rear army is the simplest, of course, the rear army will determine the direction of the entire battle situation, which Liu Zhenglong knows very well. Li Zhu, who was in charge of the rear army, also knew very well that he had long been prepared to become famous in a battle, and to prove to the King of Han that he was a qualified military commander.

The charge of 50,000 cavalry gave people a sense of oppression like a torrent of steel from a distance, and the whole earth was shaken, and the loess splashed on the ground by the horses' hooves covered the sky, almost to the extent that it covered the sky. When the Jin cavalry sprinted, they kept shouting, and the howl sounded like the low roar of a wild beast from a distance, and it can be said that this roar deeply irritated the infantry who were waiting for battle.

"The Han army is invincible and sweeps the world." The 90,000-strong army shouted in unison, and at the same time, the deafening drums sounded. This uplifting, high-spirited voice suppressed the low roar of the Jin army.

The Han army was invincible, and with the roar of the 90,000 Han army, the crossbowmen were ready for battle. The crossbowmen who stood at the forefront had all experienced the bloody battles of Western Xia, and for them, there was nothing to fear from the cavalry charge. No matter how powerful the cavalry is, if you want to storm the infantry array, you have to pay a heavy price, and being covered by a rain of arrows must be experienced, just like the infantry being attacked by the cavalry and trying to block the horse from sprinting with flesh and blood, you can only experience it, you can't dodge.

"Launch." With an order, thousands of arrows were fired at once, and the overwhelming flying arrows flew towards the Jin army, and countless cavalry fell in response.

The cavalry in front of them fell off their horses, and the cavalry behind continued to sprint ahead, for them, it was safest to sprint to the front, as long as they rushed into the range of thirty paces, then they would be safe, and they would not be shot, but between three hundred and thirty paces, they could shoot at least three to five rounds, and each round was overwhelmed with 25,000 arrows, and there was no way to dodge at all, at most they used a shield to block it. However, this kind of arrow, which is shot at a 45-degree upward rate, is parabolic and droops, and the drooping speed is very fast, and the momentum is so strong that it cannot be dodged at all, and the shield block has little effect. Moreover, the shield can only protect the cavalry, not the war horse, and when the war horse is seriously injured, it still loses its combat effectiveness.

Perhaps, only at this time, can the fierceness of the Jurchen warriors be undisguised, this group of cavalry is like a wolf in clothes, a beast of fierce, like an arrow from the string always sprinting to the front. And the sprint speed is constantly accelerating.

After many archers shot the third round, before they could shoot the fourth round, some of the Jurchen warriors rode their horses and slammed into the Han army's large array like heavy tanks. The archers who did not have time to evacuate were immediately scattered by the impact and suffered heavy casualties.

It was not clear for a while how many Jin troops were killed in the three rounds of archery, but the almost savage dash of the Jurchen warriors instantly caused the death of hundreds of Han troops.

Once the archer is in close contact with the cavalry, then he is destined to be hunted, and he is almost powerless to parry, except for the bow and arrow, the sword in his hand is too weak to kill the cavalry.

Killing, at the same time as the Jurchen warriors killed the Han army, the archers of the Han army shot the fourth round, and it was at this time that the vassal army also killed.

Countless cavalry rushed into the Han army's large array, and the casualties expanded rapidly, and it was at this time that the crossbowmen behind the Han army quickly retreated, and the spearmen behind met them, using spears like a forest to block the impact of the cavalry.

In this battle, the casualties of the Han archers exceeded 3,000, and with the sprint of the Jin cavalry, the number of casualties of the Han army continued to expand, and the advance trend of the battle situation seemed to be according to the previous assumptions of Yan Zonggu, and the Han army showed signs of collapse.

The spearmen were finally loaded with the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, countless war horses were assassinated, and countless cavalry of the Jin Kingdom fell off their horses. The scene was terrible, not only the cavalry of the Jin State suffered heavy casualties, but also the spearmen of the Han army suffered heavy casualties, and countless soldiers were trampled to the ground by their horses, and they were hunted by the Jin army before they had time to get up.

The melee finally began, the spearmen in front were hunted by the cavalry, and the spearmen in the back came up to meet them. The speed of the cavalry's attack was infinitely suppressed, and the mobility disappeared without a trace.

Cavalry without speed is infantry on horseback, so to speak, a living target, the target of spearmen's assassination. The casualty figures of the Jin cavalry gradually increased.

Bloody battle, at this moment, the earth was stained red with blood, countless soldiers fell, and countless war horses were hunted. Five thousand spearmen, under the onslaught of tens of thousands of cavalry, soon showed signs of collapse.

That is, when the spearmen were about to collapse, the bows and arrows from behind were again overwhelming. The target of the cavalry is large, and the archers can shoot differently, almost all of them are aimed at the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, and the accidental injury rate is very low.

The script is not written like this, in the past, at this time, the Song army would collapse in a large area, but today the Song army only showed signs of collapse for a short time, and soon the army was adjusted, and the large array was more tight, it can be said that the defense was impenetrable, and it was entangled with the Jin army.

Wanyan Zonggu had never encountered the Han army, he didn't know the situation, in his impression, as long as the cavalry rushed into the large formation of advancing soldiers, no matter how strong the infantry was, it was a matter of time before they were defeated. Why is it that today the army on the opposite side is only showing signs of collapse for a short time, and the defense behind it is tighter?

Compared with Wanyan Zonggu's panic, Wanyan Zongqi was much calmer, he knew that the 90,000 horses of the Song army were divided into three parts, and they only crushed the front army before, and now they are only fighting with the Chinese army, and it is normal for the Song army not to collapse. If you want to break down this big array, you also need to speed up the impact.

"Sprint with all your might, the first to rush into Qingluan Town will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, and promoted to the third level." Wanyan Zongqi believes that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, as long as a corner is torn apart, the army will definitely be able to successfully impact and completely defeat the Song army.

Sure enough, the sprint speed of the Jin army increased significantly, and a Jin army commander Bazak was born, this guy was like a god of war possessed, waving the gold-topped doll lance in his hand and sprinting frantically forward, and soon this guy killed a bloody road, and the Jin army poured into the Han army's big array like a tide, and there was a great possibility of breaking through the big array.

The infantry is arrayed, for fear of being torn open by the cavalry, as long as the opening is torn open, if you want to close it again, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky. The cavalry that rushed in began a merciless slaughter of the infantry. Although the Han army fought bravely and preferred to die rather than retreat, the opening of the large array was getting bigger and bigger, the casualties were constantly increasing, and the whole situation showed signs of deterioration. If this situation cannot be contained in a short period of time, it is very likely that the Chinese army will be completely annihilated, and then the trend of the entire war situation will change dramatically.
