War has always been a battle of wits between the commanders of the two sides, and the soldiers under their command fight bravely and fiercely, and whoever can control the army under his command can be like an arm, and who can spy on the weaknesses of the other side, then the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of whom.

The Song people have always been difficult to win, and the fundamental reason is that the Song people have vigorously developed a large number of heavy infantry troops specifically against the Jin cavalry, and the key reason is completely because of the inaction of the imperial court and the infighting between the generals, which makes it difficult for the Song army to really twist into a rope on the battlefield.

After the first tentative confrontation between the two armies, there were some frictions and clashes between the two armies every day for three days, testing each other's nerves and the determination of the army.

Wanyan Shoudao has always been cautious in the use of soldiers, and his career in fighting horses for many years has made Wanyan Shoudao's calmness even able to drive the enemy's generals crazy, making the opponent angry, and then a direct confrontation that is carried away in anger.

But this time he obviously met an opponent, whether it was his active harassment or passive counterattack, the Song people were able to deal with it easily this time, even in the cold weather, the Song army's clothes were relatively thin, but even so, in three days, in the conflicts that occurred from time to time, Wanyan Shoudao did not take advantage of it at all, Ye Qing's 30,000 army showed calmness and calmness, which made Wanyan Shoudao feel more and more pressured, and if he wanted to win, he had to take a risk.

Without the earth-shattering and resounding drums of war, the whimpering sound of trumpets in the vast wilderness still allowed the two armies to finally begin their first real confrontation after four days of confrontation.

The heavy infantry army of the Song people was like a mudslide, slowly advancing on the wilderness, and the cavalry on both sides were like clear water, overlooking from the Phoenix Mountain, changing formations on both sides of the heavy infantry army from time to time, and the scouts who were scattered ran back and forth, and one after another war horses fell down foaming at the mouth, struggling to get back on their feet.

The army of scouts who have changed horses and not changed people has now become the busiest and most dangerous group of people on the battlefield, and similarly, because of their shouts, the sound of hurried horses' hooves, their nervous expressions and fierce momentum, the wilderness where there has not yet been a fight has become more and more solemn and tense.

The air of the whole heaven and earth seemed to be frozen, and under the sound of whimpering horns, it seemed as if the news would explode without news.

The iron horses of the Jin people galloped out of the horizon slowly, like the tide of the Qiantang River, and quickly appeared in the sight of the Song army.

The melodious whimpering horn sound became more and more urgent, and the Song and Jin banners in the cold wind hunted and hunted, and the leaf characters on the flag were like a trapped beast about to break free, followed by the Song army below with a huge roar, as if to engulf this side of the world.

The watchtower car slowly rose under the winch, and then the big flag behind him rose higher and higher, and the figures of Ye Qing and the herald were also as if they were standing in the tide, like a lighthouse, standing still in the surging waves.

The banner with leaf characters written on it, as well as the flag between the heavy infantry army and the cavalry, and the banner of the Chinese army in the rear, are waiting for the order of the imperial capital.

The sound of the golden man's horse's hooves shook the ground under his feet, as if even the Phoenix Mountain next to him was trembling, and the stones on the cliff seemed to be shaken and falling with the power of the golden man's iron horse to shake the heavens and the earth.

As the distance between the two armies became closer and closer, as the huge banner in the hands of the herald waved downward, the entire heaven and earth instantly became a battlefield for human merciless killing, although the heavy infantry army of the Song people, although it was still moving forward at a slow and steady pace, but the restless neighing of the war horses on both sides, and the shouting and killing in the army, instantly made people lose their sense of direction, and their minds also lost their thinking in an instant.

As expected by the advancing heavy infantry army, and as expected by the Jin generals Qi Shilie Zhizhong and Mou Yan, just as their bows and arrows began to fall like dark clouds on the Song army in front of them, the Song people's bed crossbows also roared and stabbed at them.

Although the two armies have not fought on such a large scale for many years, it does not mean that both armies have forgotten the ways and means of attacking each other.

Whether it was the Jin people on the opposite side or the Song army on this side, they almost gathered the shields in their hands at the same time, and the kidnapping horses on both sides and the light cavalry of the Song people were already like war horses under their hips, and they began to writhe uneasily, waiting for the end of the long-distance attack to immediately disrupt the enemy's formation.

But obviously, the Jin people only thought of the Song people's bed crossbow and other big killing weapons used to restrain the cavalry, and did not think that the Western Regions artillery used by the Song people to attack the city could also be used to fight in the wilderness battle.

The huge leaf-shaped banner on the watchtower car waved vigorously again, as if it had opened the door to the battle between hell for the army in the wilderness, and the sound of shouting and killing, hissing, and the sound of bows and crossbows and arrows breaking through the air converged in the noisy sky above the sky.

The Western Regions cannon, which was placed at the end, almost at the moment when the flag was waved, emitted a more fierce, even goosebump-making whistling sound, and flew quickly from the sky towards the army of the Jin people.

"Boom......." The sound like thunder sounded in the Jin army, and the shouting and killing that was still full of fighting spirit was instantly mixed with the terrible screams and the panicked neighing of the war horses.

"Two-wing impact." Ye Qing held the Yanling Knife in his hand, and at this moment, his palms were also wet with sweat, and he ordered in a low voice.

Above his head, there was still an endless stream of Western Regions cannons whistling towards the Jin people, and the cavalry on both wings was also fading in the first wave of offensive

, instantly rushed towards the Jin cavalry on the opposite side, so that the Jin cavalry could not use their speed to impact the Song people's heavy infantry army.

And just when the battle in front of him was instantly white-hot, in the Song army camp more than ten miles away, Jia Shi led Ye Qing's pro-army, but suddenly turned back, which made Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun, who were about to leave, both startled, and the opportunity to escape from the camp had to fail.

"Where are you going?" Jia Shi looked at Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun, who were in a big bag, and the dozen or twenty guards behind him, jumped off the horse and asked with a sneer.

"This official's affairs, how can you be qualified to ask about it as a small personal soldier? Get out of the way of me at once. Li Zhixiao yīn kept a calm face, tried his best to make himself look majestic, and said coldly.

Hong Zun on the side looked at Li Zhixiao with some six gods, and then looked at Jia She, who was still sneering, he could feel that Ye Qing's personal soldiers suddenly appeared in the empty camp at this time, and it was definitely not that Ye Qing had forgotten something, it must have come for the two of them.

These days, they have already felt Ye Qing's ignorance of them, and the next attitude towards them is very likely, so they want to take advantage of the outbreak of the big war to escape from the camp immediately, even if they flee to the nearest Jeju City, it is better than being under house arrest in the camp by Ye Qing.

Now they are completely cut off from the connection with the imperial court, even if it is a daily recital, it is only after Ye Qing has seen it before they can give it to the imperial court, and in comparison, Ye Qing's recital to the imperial court also has their signature, but the sincere and loyal recital is completely incompatible with what Ye Qing did.

"Naturally, we are going to the frontline battlefield, otherwise, how can we write that daily recital to the imperial court with Lord Ye?" Hong Zun expects that Ye Qing has suddenly changed his personality these days, and he will not be as ruthless and ruthless as he was when he was still in the Imperial City Division.

"Oh? Is it? That's right, Lord Ye also has this intention, let the last general invite the two adults to the battlefield to see how our army is brave and tenacious, and not afraid of death to fight against the Jin people, then the two adults please. Jia She's eyes glowed with cold light, a little colder than this cold weather.

Hong Zun, who stood on his legs and began to tremble involuntarily, shivered his lips in the cold wind, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse for a long time.

"I can go whenever I want, I don't need you to force it. Let alone....... Li Zhixiao pretended to be tough and sneered and said: "Even if Ye Qing is here, whether the official wants to go to the battlefield or not has to be decided by the official." Go back and tell Ye Qing, the two of us will naturally tell the court how Lord Ye fought against the Jin people and how to raise the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"But since the last general has been ordered by the adults, he should ...... the two adults." Jia Shi spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Presumptuous! What are you, you dare to disobey the order of this official, this official tells you to get out, you will disappear for this official immediately, otherwise, after this official tells Lord Ye, don't think that you are his personal soldier, you can treat my Great Song military law as nothing! Li Zhixiao's expression was cold, and he reprimanded Jia Shidao angrily.

Jia Shi was unmoved, at this moment, his mind was also tied to the battlefield more than ten miles away, and he didn't want to ignore Ye Qing's safety because of these two people, so he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and he wanted to signal his soldiers to take Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun to the battlefield.

With a swipe, the guards behind Li Zhixiao, the bow and crossbow in their hands instantly shot an arrow, and it was firmly inserted in front of the feet of several pro-soldiers: "I tell you, if you dare to be rude to this palace again, this palace will immediately execute you on the spot!" ”

"Then offend Lord Li." Jia She's face was also cold, and then he beckoned, but in the blink of an eye, Li Zhixiao and the guards behind Hong Zun fell down together.

"You...... Licentious! Jia She, you dare to murder your colleagues, do you know that this is a felony to be executed in the battlefield camp! Hong Zun pointed at Jia She's frightened question, then looked at Jia She's still cold smile, suddenly threw down the burden in his hand, and ran to the side.

Just before he could run five steps, a waist knife was placed on his neck, and without waiting for Hong Zun to speak, Li Zhixiao saw a stream of blood spurting out of Hong Zun's neck, and by the power of the waist knife, Hong Zun, who turned around, was hurriedly covering his neck with one hand, and was frightened at the moment, looking at Jia Shi in disbelief, and then slowly fell down.

"You...... Jia She, you ....... Li Zhixiao looked at Hong Zun's miserable appearance, his legs were weak, and the whole person sat on the ground in an instant, and then at the thick crotch, a pool of steaming unknown liquid slowly seeped to the ground.

"If it weren't for the two of you to get in the way, how could I, the 30,000 sons of the Great Song Dynasty, fight against the Jin people with only thin clothes and cold armor? It's just that the sin deserves it, and the sin deserves death! Jia Shi licked the blood on the blade with the tip of his tongue, and slowly walked towards Li Zhixiao, who was already frightened and incontinent.

The empty camp, not long after Jia Shi left behind a dozen or twenty corpses, an unknown cavalry ran over quickly from the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

Peach Blossom Mountain and Phoenix Mountain are just a mountain range, but because they have peaks, they are then bounded by the local people in the depression, and they are called Peach Blossom Mountain and Phoenix Mountain respectively.

And just when Wanyan Shoudao personally led 8,000 cavalry to gallop quickly to the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, getting closer and closer to the Song army camp under Peach Blossom Mountain, Mo Xiaobao led 2,000 cavalry to quickly chase after him from behind him in the recess of Phoenix Mountain, which was only three or five miles away.

With Mo Xiaobao's two thousand cavalry, they followed the road of Wanyan and guarded the road

When the trail that the cavalry had just galloped towards the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, Zhong Silkworm also led the other 3,000 cavalry from the same direction, galloping away in the opposite direction, in the direction of Zou County.

When Mo Xiaobao was already addicted to seeing the Song army camp under Peach Blossom Mountain, a thick smoke slowly rose from above the Song army camp, and as the smoke rose, a ball of fire rose from the ground, burning in the sky above the Song army camp.

Wanyan Shoudao, who was standing at the main gate of the Song army camp, although the god was still dignified, there was still excitement and pride that could not be concealed between his eyebrows: "After all, you are young, and you want to come out of the nest and win the army of temperament and perseverance in one fell swoop, but even if you can gnaw it, what if you can bite it?" It is obviously impossible to annihilate them all, your cavalry is your weakness after all, and it is a fool's dream to want to pursue all over the mountains. ”

Wan Yan Shoudao looked at the Song army camp after he gave an order, and it instantly burned into a raging fire, which was more amazing than the fireworks he saw on the Yuan Day, in his opinion, as long as Ye Qing's camp was burned, no matter how much grain and grass there was left in his camp, in short, even if Ye Qing was not defeated by Qi Shilie and Mou Yan, even if he escaped his own work here, the only thing he could do was to lead his remnants of the defeated army to Tengzhou.

"General, all the tents are empty, not even ...... Even the hay in the stables was only a thin layer. But looking at the scale of the stables of the Song people, its cavalry is probably beyond our imagination, not only three or five thousand people, I am afraid that there must be...... There must be 10,000 riders. A general bowed to Wanyan Shoudao.

"So much?" Wan Yan Shoudao was startled, and his cheeks were a little hot from the raging fire not far away, but he looked a little wooden at the moment.

But before he could think of anything, he saw another general, leading his men to drag a dozen or twenty corpses towards him.

"General, there should have been someone before us who attacked the camp of the Song people, and also killed ...... I'm afraid it's these twenty-three Song people who stayed behind. The general motioned to his men to line up the twenty-three corpses.

"Twenty-three people left behind in the camp?" Wanyan Shoudao was stunned for a moment again, and then immediately turned over and dismounted, walked to the front to check those, because his subordinates were dragging over on horses, and at this moment, the corpse whose face had been blurred because of friction with the ground, forcefully pulled out an arrow on the corpse, and looked at the sharp arrow: "This is the crossbow arrow of the Song people, is it infighting?" ”

"But what else have you found?" Wanyan Shoudao threw down the arrow in his hand, and a feeling of uneasiness instantly came to his heart, for some reason, perhaps it was the intuition of years of fighting on the battlefield that made him realize that he seemed to be in danger.

"No, nothing, every tent we have carefully inspected, and only after we have found nothing did we start burning." The general said with certainty again.

"I haven't found a single weapon or other things, so what about the Chinese military tent?" Wanyan Shoudao was even more shocked in his heart, they were all on the battlefield, they were all camps stationed in the wild, and they had all relied on the camps to fight, and now the empty camp of the Song army was completely inconsistent with a large camp, and the normal environment after the army was conquered.

"It looks more like ...... It's more like they abandoned the camp. Another general swallowed and said.

Listening to the general's words, the white-haired Wanyan Shoudao was stunned, and the general was directly frightened to take a few steps back before he said in a deep voice: "Impossible, if Ye Qing gives up the camp, where will he go?" How can he guarantee that he will definitely be able to win the begging Shi Lie Zhizhong and Mou Yan! It's impossible! ”

Wanyan Shoudao kept repeating the impossibility in his mouth, but deep down in his heart, there seemed to be a voice reminding him, what he said was the truth, and the truth was that Ye Qing took the initiative to give up the camp that had been stationed for more than a month, in order to lead the Song army to die and come back to life!

Wanyan Shoudao looked at the burning camp in a daze, and then looked at Nanyang Lake dozens of miles away behind him as if he had passed through the raging fire, and muttered: "Fight against the water!" Ye Qing had long been prepared for a battle against the odds, did he really have no plans...... Ordered everyone to immediately evacuate to Jeju Castle. ”

Wanyan Shoudao seemed to think of something, the whole person was shocked in an instant, and suddenly roared and said, and then immediately took the lead on the horse, and with the sound of the horn of the army, the fire of the camp like Nanyang Lake was around, and in an instant, the cavalry of the Jin people quickly galloped towards the main gate of the camp, and then ran towards the direction of Jeju City like a fierce wind in the wilderness.

"Oh, the old man who finished his face, where to go!" Mo Xiaobao shouted the words that Ye Qing taught him, and regardless of whether the golden cavalry who were rushing towards Jeju could hear the smoke and dust, he kept shouting behind him, and then ate a mouth full of dust.

After Wanyan Shoudao realized that this was an empty camp, he knew that he was afraid that he had fallen for Ye Qing's little fox, and instinctively should have the first reaction to run in the direction of Zou County, but he was afraid that Ye Qing would lay an ambush on his way back, so Wanyan Shoudao at this time gave the first order to run in the direction of Jeju.

Because the general's panic must affect the strength of the entire army, and Wanyan Shoudao's anxious and panicked demeanor obviously quickly spread among the 8,000-strong cavalry, when the two generals were riding on horseback, and were still explaining to the other generals why the general suddenly wanted to run in the direction of Jeju in a panic, they met the 1,000 cavalry who had just arrived one step ahead of them, and was separated by Mo Xiaobao in the direction of Jeju.

(PS: Thank you Mo Xiaobao's alliance leader for the reward!) Okay, I'll let you catch it. ）
