Chapter 360: The Great War is Coming
The sound of a whimpering horn came from afar. This is a signal to call the police in case of an enemy!
On the side of the canal, the generals of the Song army, who were marching with their heads covered, all raised their heads and looked nervously to the northwest.
Although there were a lot of them, although Chen Liucheng was in front of him, and the 30,000 troops under Zong Ze were in front, the Song army was still worried when they thought of the famous Jin soldiers.
Now in the wilderness, even if there is Chen Liucheng and Zong Ze's subordinates to give them a front station, their army of more than 100,000 will not have much to rely on!
Even the newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, they know how powerful tigers are, don't they? The Jin soldiers stepped on the prestige established by the elite Western Army of the Liao and the Great Song Dynasty, and the prestige of the Jin Army in the field was not fake.
As for the previous victory, so many soldiers and horses in Ying Tianfu surrounded and suppressed a leaderless Jin army, and even so, there were still some people who suffered a lot. Now he is facing an army of fifty or sixty thousand golden people, and this number is almost comparable to the main force of the golden army all the way.
"The king has an order, the whole army stops and rests in place!" A horse galloped over, and on horseback was a knight with a loud voice, loudly conveying Zhao Gou's orders.
"Stop!" There was a shout in the columns. The rolling Song army seemed to have pressed the pause button, and the overwhelming crowd of black pressure stopped suddenly.
That's how the battle is about to begin.
After Yan Lou's room, he would definitely not wait for the Song army and Zong Ze's army to completely converge, rest for two days, and then the two sides would set up a battle and fight head-on.
Taking advantage of the arrival of the Zheng army's large army, the army went out, which was even more beneficial to the Jin army.
Zong Ze lined up with his back to Chen Liucheng. Although the left and right wings are not covered, they can rest assured behind them, which makes Zong Ze save a lot of energy. But he found that the Jin army did not rush towards him at all, but bypassed Chen Liucheng and Zong Ze's headquarters and rushed towards Zhao Goujun.
Of course, the Jin soldiers did not completely ignore themselves, but sent three horsemen, two Jin soldiers in the middle of a person dressed as a Song Dynasty official.
"Revised by the Secret Pavilion, Zhicizhou, Hebei Hedong Generalissimo Mansion Deputy Marshal Zong Ze listens to the order."
The Song official's voice trembled a little, but the dark yellow holy decree he held high made Zong Ze's heart tremble.
"Zong Xianggong, this decree cannot be accepted!" Xue Guang was by Zong Ze's side, and when Wang Yuan and the others were still hesitating, he had already shouted categorically.
Zong Ze's face showed bitterness, but soon the bitterness turned into perseverance, "Xue Commander, don't do anything else, this official has his own conclusion." As he spoke, he gave Zong Ying a look at his side.
Zong Ying is Zong Ze's second son, his eldest son died young, and Zong Ying is like a long-term companion to his father. Since Zong Ze set up the rebel army in Cizhou, Zong Ying has lived in the curtain and is very popular on weekdays.
"How can I, the Great Song Angel, have the reason to be coerced to the front of the battle for the Jin people? There must be deception in this. Zong Ying shouted loudly, and then without giving the others time to react, he waved his hand: "All the soldiers will shoot this thief for me!" ”
The black-pressed arrows flew like locusts, and the people and the golden soldiers on the left and right didn't even react, and even the people and horses were shot into hedgehogs.
Xue Guang was blocked by Zong Ze, and he was still angry, but when he saw such a scene, he was overjoyed. "The prime minister is a real man."
Regardless of whether the angel in front of him is real or not, Zong Ze is suspected of disrespecting the king if he does this.
And Zhao Gou, who was still five or six miles away from Chen Liu, continued to unhurriedly order the army to arrange the array.
Although the Jin people have been killed, he has nothing to panic about. When the army was killing all the way along the Bianhe River, it was guarding against this, and the soldiers on both sides of the Bianhe River were already separated by a large enough distance.
It doesn't take long to turn from a military column to a military formation.
It's just that it's a bit troublesome to transport the stone cannons in the Bianhe River to the array.
There is a wooden rocker on the embankment, and cold water is splashed on the rocker, and the surface is completely covered with a layer of ice, so it is not difficult to pull the stone cannon up the embankment.
The difficulty is to get these cannons to the front of the army as soon as possible.
The Jin army has already launched an offensive against Zhao Gou's department, which makes it even more difficult to do so.
The Jin people, led by the horse army, obviously wanted to focus on attacking the eastern part of the river, because Zong Zejun and Chen Liucheng were both in the west of the river.
And the Hedong Song Army is the part where Zhao Gou is located.
Wanyan Lou Room burst out at the forefront with a horse army, and just when Zong Ying waved his hand and shot one of the 'angels' there, Lou Room and other heavy generals of the Jin Army were also watching Zhao Gou's military formation.
A small number of cavalry covered the edges, and the inside was an infantry formation, with spears and shields with strong bows and crossbows, and infantry phalanxes wearing heavy armor, which was the main combat force of the Song army.
It's a complete array!
"This Zhao Jiu'er really has guts!"
The Song people's divine arm bow is very powerful, and the heavy infantry is not bad, but the Song people's archers have a problem. The arrows are light and have a long range, and such bows and arrows can only add some skin trauma to the Jin soldiers, and they can't penetrate the heavy armor of the Jin army at all.
But there were a large number of archers in the Song army.
And the proportion can reach six or seven percent.
Such a Song army, that is, a big lobster with a layer of hard shell on the outside, looks very powerful, and the shell on the outside is indeed a little hard, but in fact, it is vulnerable in front of a solid hammer.
As long as you clench your iron fist and hammer it hard, smashing the shell on the outside of Song Jun, the fat lobster meat inside can be enjoyed.
Although the news from Ying Tianfu said that Zhao Gou had equipped a large number of archers with spears and spears, Wan Yan Lou didn't care at all.
It's just a few extra thorns in the shrimp.
He came to fight with Zhao Gou, and the most fundamental reliance was the strong combat effectiveness of the Jin Army. The fake edict is just icing on the cake.
"Your Majesty's will is here, and King Kang will obey it."
A loud voice came from the other side, and Zhao Gou opened his mouth wide.
"The official decree?" Is Yan Lou stupid, or does he think Zhao Gou is a fool? At this time, you will listen to a holy decree from the hands of the golden people?
"Shout to me, Jin Taizu is going to do this, and Wanyan Lou is not going to get off the horse to listen to the order."
Unlike Zong Ze's response, Zhao Gou directly turned Wanyan Lou's trick into a joke. There was a burst of laughter in the Song army's formation.
Wan Yan Lou couldn't understand Chinese, but there was a 'translator' on the side, and his face suddenly turned red. Which bastard really proposed the No. 1 method, saying that the will of the Han emperor is a golden mouth, which cannot be violated and questioned, but now?
He glared at his son beside him.
The latter's face was also flushed.
"Father, if the child wants to be a pioneer, he will step through the Song Formation, and he will be ashamed of today."
In the camp of the Jin Army, who doesn't know that the method of this fake edict was offered by him, this person who was thrown out by him on his own initiative, Wanyan Huonu must be picked up on today's battlefield.
As a person who went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of sixteen, Wanyan Huonu felt that her face was about to be lost now.
"Tell Zhao not to try and tell him to go faster."
Zhao Gou's face was already full of solemnity, and the golden soldiers and horses on the opposite side had already spread their horses' hooves.
