Wan San prepared a lot of lines to convince Zhao Qi, but in front of this civil official, what is his eloquence? said that he couldn't move Zhao Qi at all, so he could only drink very depressedly.

As time passed, the more wine he drank, the more Wansan had no chance of convincing Zhao Qi.

On the second watch, the people below came to report that Wansi had been arrested, and all the rebels who entered the city were arrested, and none of them escaped the net. On the third watch, the soldiers came to report that they had taken control of the ferry, and at this time, Zhao Qi didn't need to pretend to be anything, he pretended to be complimentary, but actually handed over the rest of the matter to Zhu Tong to deal with.

Zhu Tong had already asked his subordinates to get rid of the soldiers brought by Wan San, and he was going to deal with this guy now.

After Zhu Tong poured the wine for Wan San, he said with a smile: "Brother Wan, you said that this Jin army will cross the river from our Mengjin when it goes south?" ”

"I should be able to put it!" Seeing that Zhu Tong took the initiative to open this topic, Wan San said happily: "Marshal Wan Yan Xian of the Jin Kingdom also personally led 100,000 iron horsemen to the south, and it is obviously more likely to cross the river from Mengjin, hey, we can't hold it." ”

"But what if you can't keep it?" Zhu Tong's face was full of helplessness, and he said in frustration: "What can you do if you can't hold it, you can't abandon the city and run away." ”

Wan San didn't get drunk at all, he heard that Zhu Tong was talking about something, and this guy said mysteriously: "Brother, you heard that there was no Jinan prefect Liu Yu who surrendered to the Jin army, not only was he not killed, but he was also promoted, he is really envious of others." ”

"What, Liu Yu surrendered and was not killed?"

"No, not only did I not kill, but I was really promoted." In case there was no one around, he whispered to Zhu Tong: "Otherwise, what if our brother also defects to the Jin Army." ”

"No, it's okay, Liu Yu is a prefect and a civil official, and we are military generals, I'm afraid that they will take refuge in the past, and people won't take them in."

Seeing that Zhu Tong had the intention of defecting to Jin Jun, in this case, Wan San, who was a little drunk, relaxed his vigilance, and he no longer hid anything, and directly said that he had a relationship with Jin Jun and had been in touch.

In the end, Wan San said: "As long as we let the Jin army cross the river, then there will be a lifetime of glory and wealth in the future." ”

"Really? I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for that day. ”

At this time, Zhao Qi, the prefect who went out, suddenly came back, and it was at this time that Zhu Tong suddenly put the knife on Wan San's neck, and now there is no need to say anything, it is already clear at a glance.

Zhu Tong said coldly: "Wan Si, and the three thousand five hundred people who entered the city have been caught, you choose to live and choose to die." ”

"By the way, I forgot to mention that the ferry has been taken over by the forbidden army." Zhao Qi directly came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, completely crushing the psychological defense line at night, and he said coldly: "Zhang Yuanjun already knows about your collusion with the Jin Army, but he has not reported it yet. Whether to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, or to kill yourself, you had better think clearly before answering, as long as you are willing to turn back, the government guarantees that the past is not to blame. After the deed is completed, if you don't want to stay in the Great Song Dynasty, you can go to the Han Kingdom. ”

Wan San is also a strong general, but he feels that the Song State can't defeat the Jin State, and it is only a matter of time before he destroys the country, so he chose to defect to the Jin Army in this case, if it was in the Han Dynasty, he would rather die in battle than surrender to the enemy.

Now that he has reached this point, there is no choice, but Wan San also knows that Da Song will no longer have his own foothold. Zhao Qi, Uncle Zhang will let himself go at night, and the civil officials in the court will not give up. In the end, he said: "Send my family to Han, I am willing to cooperate with you." Everyone knows that the Jin Kingdom is here to destroy the Song Dynasty this time, and no matter how hard you try, it will not change the result. ”

"No, that's not something you thought about."

In the end, Wan San chose to compromise, and according to Zhang Shuye's strategy, he and Wan Yanxie, the marshal of Jin Guodu, also contacted and let the Jin army cross the river.

Of course, with 200,000 infantry, it is difficult to annihilate 100,000 cavalry, and it is almost an impossible task, but Zhang Shuye still thought of a way, that is, to ask for assistance from the Han army in Luoyang.

Before, when Qin Hui sent an envoy to the imperial capital, an agreement was reached between the Han State and the Song State, that is, the Han army would not participate in the Song-Jin War, but could provide all the necessary help.

To deal with cavalry, the most effective weapon is gunpowder, and the firearms of the Han State are as invincible as the cavalry of the Jin State, as long as it is arranged in advance, then it is not impossible for 200,000 infantry to strangle 100,000 cavalry, and there are 30,000 forbidden troops in the local area, 20,000 Xiang Army, and 50,000 troops in Zhengzhou also participated in the war, so that the total strength reached 280,000, which made Zhang Shuye have the ambition to annihilate the Jin army.

In the early morning of October 30, dense sheepskin rafts began to cross the river, and on this day the north wind blew, and the sheepskin rafts crossed the river quickly, but 100,000 cavalry, plus 200,000 war horses, it would take nearly a day to cross the river, and there were still millions of sheep and 100,000 cattle, all of which crossed the river in the middle of the night.

Crossing the river requires a bang, this is Wanyan Xianye's point of view, as long as more than 17,800 people cross the river successfully, even if the Song army attacks, it is not a problem.

The cavalry is not one man and one horse, basically one person, two horses or three horses, if it is like the Mongolian cavalry to the west to Europe, it almost reaches the configuration of one person and five horses.

The Jin army invaded the Song State according to the configuration of one person and two horses, after all, it was facing the Song army without cavalry, and there was no need to equip three horses. If the attack also has a strong cavalry Han State, it is definitely the standard configuration of one man and three horses.

Although the powerful Han State was strong, the source of war horses was limited, and it always maintained the configuration of one person and two horses, and later compressed the 350,000 cavalry to 240,000, plus 40,000 Han kings, before finally realizing the standard configuration of one person and three horses.

When the Jin army crossed the river, the first batch was to bring men and horses, and the speed was very slow, but this ensured that after crossing the river, they could quickly launch a defense to avoid being attacked by the Song army. Later, horses, soldiers, tents, cattle and sheep were gradually transported across the river.

80,000, I don't know why, at the last moment, Wan Yan Xian also changed his mind, and finally left 20,000 on the other side of the river, wanting to cross the river in full the next day. It was this incredible decision that changed the entire war into the city. But why it changed, I don't know why.

Zhang Shuye couldn't figure out why the Jin army only crossed the river with 80,000, and it was impossible to know that he encircled the Jin army that crossed the river, and encircled the Jin army crossing the river from the east, west, and south, but let go of the north, because the north was the Yellow River, and the small sheepskin raft was difficult to cross the river back in a bloody battle.

Moreover, in order to completely exterminate the Jin army, Zhang Shuye also came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, that is, to send people to attack the Jin army at night, first light those sheepskin rafts, and then launch an attack, this battle is to achieve the total annihilation of the Jin army.

Zhang Shuye's two sons, Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong, led 1,500 elite soldiers to carry out the mission.

Zhang Bofen, who was full of strategy and resourcefulness, led 500 elite soldiers to light the sheepskin raft, and Zhang Zhongxiong, who bravely crowned the three armies, led 1,000 soldiers to respond. At this time, the three armies in the camp of the Song army were on standby, launching a general attack at any time, after all, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and once the sneak attack failed, it would directly turn into a strong attack.

Zhu Tong kissed 10,000 soldiers to respond to the Zhang brothers, after all, once the fire burned, the Jin army would react extremely quickly, if no one answered, before the army could be pressed, the 1,500 soldiers would be wiped out by the Jin army.

In the middle of the night at the end of October, it was already extremely cold by the Yellow River, but despite this, the Jin army was still tightly defending the camp to prevent a sneak attack by the Song army.

The camp of the Jin army is brightly lit, the soldiers are busy setting up camp, new tents are constantly being erected, and soldiers go in to rest, after all, it is winter, and it is obviously unrealistic to sleep on the ground on the edge of the Yellow River. A lot of soldiers are baking fires, and more are busy.

Crossing the river in a hurry, even if it is a well-trained Jin army, it is difficult to do everything in this unfamiliar environment, and the key is that Wansan's ally provides 'convenience', in the camp, the area where the sheepskin raft is located is very cleverly arranged in the westernmost place, and there is a small hill here, which is very hidden, and the Song army is ambushed behind the small hill.

Under the cold wind, the soldiers of the Song army shivered from the cold, and they really couldn't catch up with the Jin army, but the importance of this battle was self-evident, so the soldiers were still high-spirited to meet the final challenge.

Zhang Sanhu, the small leader of the scouts, has unusually fast skills, he took five scouts to the edge of the Jin army camp to check, and found that the area where the sheepskin raft is located is indeed the area planned by Wansan, it seems that the Jin army has no way to make adjustments in a short time, this area can be said to be the most convenient place for sneak attack.

After listening to Zhang Sanhu's report, Zhang Bofen immediately ordered: "The first team is responsible for guarding after passing, the second team is responsible for sprinkling fire oil near the tent, the third team is responsible for lighting, and the fourth team is lighting with long-range rockets." ”

In fact, this arrangement is not the best choice, nor is it Zhang Bofen's first choice, originally Zhang Bofen chose to use a knife to cut the sheepskin raft, but after the field trip, he gave up this plan. There are too many sheepskin rafts, and with this little force, even if it is done at noon the next day, it is impossible to complete the task.

The advantage of fire attack is that the area is large, so that the Jin army is unable to defend against it, of course, once the fire is ignited, the Jin army will quickly find out, and the Jin army's response is particularly fast, which is why Zhang Bofen arranged for the fourth squad to use long-range attacks, this batch of launch points and crossbow arrows of the crossbow is unique to the Han army, which is designed to burn the enemy camp. Ten crossbow arrows can be fired at a time, and a crossbow machine can fire three rounds, the loading speed is very fast, according to the reaction speed of the Jin Army, it can be equipped at least twice, that is, a soldier can fire nine times, a total of ninety crossbow arrows. And the range of the crossbow arrow is more than two hundred paces, which can cover a third of the area, enough to burn a third of the sheepskin raft. As long as the soldier lights the innermost tent for the first time, of course, this requires the skillful cooperation of the soldier, and if there is a mistake in any link, the task cannot be completed. “

Zhang Bofen himself personally led the fifth squad to the queen of the palace, just to suppress the counterattack of the Jin army with a bow and crossbow. And Zhang Sanhu led the second squad deep into the enemy camp to set fire to the innermost tent.

Since it was not long after crossing the river, the Jin army's defense still had a blind spot, and this blind spot was what Wansan could stay, and the Jin army couldn't find it at least at night, as for the day, then everything was a foregone conclusion.

In that era, most people were night blind, and the probability of going to war at night was very low, especially in this kind of melee with hundreds of thousands of troops, command at night was a problem, let alone combat?

That's why it was chosen to light the sheepskin raft of the Jin army at night and launch an attack at dawn.

Zhang Sanhu is not a top scout, this scout with ten years of scout experience has participated in the battle of encircling and suppressing the Western Xia and killing the Jin King Richard Brother. He's very experienced, but he doesn't have any connections. Today can be regarded as a great achievement, under the leadership of this guy, a hundred scouts soon mixed into the camp of the Jin army, this small detachment, began to touch the tent one by one, after entering the sheepskin raft, began to pour fire oil. Not only the oil was poured, but also a part of sulfur, saltpeter, gunpowder.

Nervous, the most nervous is the first squad, they are responsible for vigilance and are also the guarantee of the entire squad.

When the first tent was lit, the reacting Jin army slaughtered from all directions. The first group was tasked with covering the retreat of the second and third groups.

The retreat was obviously unrealistic, the Jin army's reaction was too fast, and soon besieged these Song soldiers in the center, although Zhang Bofen's fifth group was killed in time, but the Jin army quickly overwhelmed this group, which was far beyond Zhang Bofen's expectations.

After the detachment of 500 people was surrounded by the Jin army, it was only a matter of time before the regiment was destroyed. Just when the situation was extremely critical, Zhang Zhongxiong led a thousand soldiers to kill, and it was obvious that these thousand soldiers appeared on duty, which greatly relieved Zhang Bofen's pressure, but it was unrealistic to want to retreat with his whole body.

The reason why the Jin army reacted so quickly was mainly because it was deployed in advance. Marshal Wan Yan Xian of Jin Guodu was also an extremely strategic person, and after crossing the river, of course, he had to prevent the sneak attack of the Song army.

Although the defense was made in advance, the preparation of the Jin army was still insufficient, after all, many soldiers crossed the river after dark, in this case, how could it be foolproof? It was because of an inconspicuous blind spot that Song Jun took advantage of the loophole.

There are more and more Jin troops, more than a thousand Song troops are besieged in the middle, and even Zhang Zhongxiong, who is the champion of the three armies, has a lot of colors on his body, not to mention the others.

More than 1,000 soldiers were quickly swallowed up by the Jin army, and the remaining three or four hundred soldiers were guarding Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong to the death.

At the critical juncture, Zhu Tong led an army of 10,000 to kill and became entangled with the Jin army.
