"Fighting a war is not just a matter of blood. Anyway, since everyone is united, then we will attack Shunde Mansion first, and then our main force will be in front, and your new soldiers will follow up all the way behind to create momentum, and listen to my orders at any time! Qu Ping said.

All the generals said in unison: "Order!" ”

Last time, I got more than 3,000 war horses, plus the original and the righteous army, there are 8,000 war horses, which can be described as a huge momentum. It's just that there are more soldiers and less armor, and there are nearly 10,000 rebels who are not equipped with armor.

Eighty thousand horses and horses slaughtered towards Shunde Mansion with a high momentum.

The Jin army suffered a major defeat at the beginning, and its morale was depressed. The Jin army that retreated into Shunde Mansion plus the original garrison troops was 60,000 horses, although it was already known that the Song army's 80,000 troops last time were bluffs, but after people experienced a victory, a large number of people surrendered, and the Jin army had already been shaken.

Today is the last day of the first seven days of the oblique protection, and in the camp of the Jin army marshal, Wanyan Zonghan and the generals wrapped white cloth on their heads with solemn expressions. The Shima ninja was traumatized and painful, holding the spiritual seat of the slanted protector in both hands, and everyone lined up in two lines, ready to bury the clothed mound of the oblique protector.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report: "Report! - Marshal, a large number of Song troops were found attacking in front, and they did not know how many of them were tens of thousands, dusty, covering the sky and the sun! ”

Wanyan Zonghan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, Song Jun deceived people too much, and he didn't even give peace to his beloved son's first seven days. Wanyan Zonghan pulled out the treasure knife, cut the coffee table in half with one sword, and shouted: "Ah! Song Jun deceived people too much! The generals listened to the order, counted the troops and horses, and went out with me to avenge my son's oblique protection! ”

A general knelt down and dragged Yan Zonghan and said: "Marshal, don't be rash!" Now that the Song army is arrogant, our army can only temporarily avoid its edge and strengthen the defense of the city. His subordinates forgave him and couldn't capture Shunde Mansion. ”

Wanyan Zonghan raised his foot and knocked him away, lost his temper, calmed down a little, and said, "Defend the city with me!" ”

Qu Ping opened a formation under the city, and called out the formation: "Marshal Bird Family, Qu Ping, the military envoy in the imperial camp of the Great Song Dynasty, has come to call the battle, does anyone dare to fight?" ”

Wanyan Zonghan calmed down at this time, looking at the banners of the Song army in the city, some "Song", some wrote "Yue", some wrote "Qu", some wrote "National Self-Salvation Army", and other flags of various sizes and sizes, which looked like a bunch of rabble. He said: "Ben Shuai doesn't compare his efforts with you, you will attack if you have a kind." ”

Shema also asked, "Father, let me go and bring other people's heads to pay tribute to Xianbao!" ”

"Ignore him!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

Qu Ping shouted below again: "Bird slave, your young master's head is still hanging on the city gate, if you dare to engage in battle, I will return the head to you." ”

Wanyan Zonghan was so angry that he trembled, clenched his fists hard, his nails were about to be inserted into the flesh, the horse head and hooves of the Song army and horse army kept moving, if they opened the city gate, they would definitely kill in immediately. It is not easy to push the city gate of several thousand catties as soon as it is opened and closed.

Wanyan Zonghan sighed and said, "Everyone is already dead, why should the general still make a fuss about him, please give him a peace." Count me in begging you! ”

Qu Ping took out a box and said, "Yes, your Jin army invaded my Great Song Dynasty, occupied my city, and killed my people, which is a heinous crime." If you can withdraw from the Shunde Mansion, I will present your son's head. After Qu Ping finished speaking, he raised the box in his hand.

Shema also hurriedly said: "Dad, my brother's head!" ”

Wanyan Zonghan raised his eyes to look at the sky, swallowed a mouthful of bitter water in his heart, and said: "The dilemma between state affairs and family affairs is complete, you can attack the city." ”

Pity Yan Zonghan as a hero all his life, and he didn't even want his son's head back, and he didn't dare to ask for it.

Qu Ping actually knew that it was impossible for him to retreat to Shunde City, so he held the box and rode forward.

All the generals said that the marshal was dangerous, don't go.

Qu Ping fearlessly walked forward ten meters and said: "General Wanyan, I will respect you as a generation of heroes, so let's send your son's head back, and put down a person with a rope from above to get your son's head back." ”

"Thank you, General Qu!" Wanyan Zonghan called a small soldier and lowered the city with a rope to get his son's head.

"I still want to talk to General Wanyan."

"Please."

Qu Ping said: "Today's move is to tell you that fighting a war is a matter between soldiers, don't hurt the people!" ”

Wanyan Zonghan saw his son's head coming up, and said, "I don't need your advice, I will discipline my army well." ”

"Siege!" Qu Ping no longer talked nonsense with him and directly ordered the siege of the city.

With the suppression of the crossbow arrows of the Song army, the Jin army was equipped with bows and arrows, although it had a height advantage, but one with a range of 200 meters and a range of 50 meters still had a significant distance advantage. The Song army opened the distance and released the crossbow, and the Jin army released a round of bows and arrows and found that it was simply "grass boats sending arrows", so they hid under the wall one after another. The Song army took the opportunity to be protected by shields, pushing siege vehicles and siege ladders above their heads and began to attack. Every time someone in the Jin army comes out, there is always an unlucky one who is shot in the face by a flying arrow.

The sharp-eyed saw that the siege vehicles and ladders of the Song army had advanced half the distance under the protection of the shield, and hurriedly reported in a loud voice.

Wanyan Zonghan said: "When he gets close, throw stones, pour fire oil, and release arrows!" ”

Four catapults aimed at the enemy's city tower, and threw boulders and fireballs weighing hundreds of pounds at the city tower with a "whoosh".

A boulder was in the middle of the city tower, and the generals of the Jin army escorted Yan Zonghan and hurriedly bent down to dodge, and the falling stones and large bricks of the city tower killed many Jin soldiers. The castle tower was on fire, and the golden soldiers who were fighting the fire would be shot by stray arrows if they didn't pay attention. Huge boulder fireballs smashed into the city, killing many golden soldiers who were on standby under the city. The Jin army blindly threw stones from above, relying on luck to smash the Song soldiers.

The Song soldiers finally put the engineering ladder on the city wall, and the Jin army poured boiling oil from it, and many soldiers died in the fire, and the ladder that was finally built was overturned. If the Song army climbed to the halfway point of the city wall, the strong crossbows on the Song army's side would not dare to be placed indiscriminately, but the Jin army could see the opportunity to shoot at the Song soldiers who had lost their protection.

In fact, the siege ladder is just to cover up and disperse the pressure of the siege vehicle.

The city was covered with the corpses of the Song army who were not afraid of death, about three or four thousand.

The soldiers withstood the stone and oil attacks, paid heavy casualties, and finally pushed the siege cart under the stone arch of the city gate and began to ram the city gate.

At this time, Li Cailian led twenty or thirty heroes of the rivers and lakes to go up the city wall with flying claws from the side, all the way to Wanyan Zonghan's side to kill, the golden soldiers on the city wall wanted to divide their troops to resist this group of heroes of the rivers and lakes, and a large number of Song troops took the opportunity to use the ladder to climb up one after another.

"Marshal, what to do, the city gate is about to be broken!"

The other general said: "Marshal, lead a large army to retreat, and the last general will be cut off." ”

Wanyan Zonghan thought for a while and said, "That's it." After speaking, he led his son and soldiers to retreat towards the north gate.

As soon as the city gate was broken, the cavalry of the Song army poured in like a tide. After the break, the Jin army retreated while fighting, and was quickly crushed by the cavalry of the Song army.

When the people in the city saw the Song army coming in, someone took out a kitchen knife from their homes, and caught the lone Jin Bing is a slash, and many people who hid at home to watch the play followed suit, holding kitchen knives, sickles, iron forks, wooden sticks, benches and other tools that can hurt people to join the array of attacking the Jin soldiers, which is really a family of military and civilian unity.

Qu Ping ordered the recruits to search for the small number of golden soldiers left in the city, and never let go of a grain of rat droppings. The remaining 60,000 troops pursued the Jin army with all their might. The Jin army was bitten tightly, and gave up 10,000 troops to resist the Song army, and Wanyan Zonghan fled with more than 30,000 people in embarrassment.

60,000 against 10,000, the disparity in strength, the two sides fought a melee, 10,000 gold soldiers were beheaded eight or nine out of ten, and the rest took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The Song army returned to Shunde City victoriously, made a list of Anmin, and repaired the soldiers and horses.

In the handsome camp, all the generals were overjoyed and high-fived each other.

The leader of the righteous army said: "Dashuai, the Jin army is vulnerable under the majesty of Dashuai, it is better to take him down again!" ”

Qu Ping said: "The soldiers have been fighting repeatedly, and they are physically and mentally tired, so they should make appropriate repairs at present, and when the new army is trained, it is not too late to fight again." ”

"The big handsome has a point." Yue Fei said.

Li Cailian came in from outside the door and reported: "Marshal, the Jin army has taken away all the grain, gold and silver in the city, and our existing grain can last for five days." There is not much grain and grass in Cizhou. ”

"Then I will be requisitioned from Xiangzhou and the surrounding areas."

"The northern region has been occupied by the Jin army for a long time, the fertile land has been destroyed, and there will not be too much food, and it will take five days for the nearest Cizhou to come."

Qu Ping said to the leaders of the rebel army: "Now that the grain and grass are urgent, it is estimated that I will borrow some from you." ”

The leader said curtly: "Commander, we also have no food before we enthusiastically join you." ”

"Don't you really have any food left?"

The leader said, "The last general is willing to follow the commander to the death, and leave a surplus of food to do." ”

Qu Pingxin said that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she can't get food, so it's okay to bring these people over. He said to the other rebel leaders, "What about you? Are you also determined to follow Ben Shuai? ”

"The commander's combat soldiers are not ordinary to ordinary people, he must be the victorious general of the Great Song Dynasty, I am willing to die and serve!"

It turned out that it was a good shade under the big tree, Qu Ping thought, but it didn't matter, as long as the tree didn't fall down, the fox wouldn't disperse. "Well, from today onwards, you will be part of our national self-help army, and the commander will also be strict with you, if there are those who are not bound and can't endure hardship, don't blame me for the military law when the time comes!"

The leaders of the former rebel army expressed their willingness to abide by the regulations and strictly obey orders, otherwise they would be dealt with in accordance with military law. Qu Ping placed them as an army commander for every 2,500 people, and directly obeyed his orders. In addition, the newly recruited soldiers were distributed to Yue Fei's department, so that Qu Ping's department had 50,000 and Yue Fei's department had 30,000.

Qu Ping instructed Li Cailian to speed up the requisition and transfer of grain and grass while saving grain, and to do a good job of keeping secrets about the shortage of grain, so as not to cause turmoil in the army's mind.
