An hour later, the last few Jin generals and soldiers in the Chinese army camp who were still resisting were killed by random arrows, and the Haizi village camp returned to the Song army.

In this battle, 25,000 people were dispatched, carefully deployed, fighting in the camp, trapped outside the camp, and none of the Jin soldiers who crossed the camp and wanted to escape from the chaos escaped with their lives, and all of them died under the bows and crossbows, swords and guns of the Song army.

In order to consider the next battle deployment, the Song army did not capture prisoners in this battle, nor did it leave a living mouth, and even the battlefield was just a simple cleaning, and the corpses of the Jin soldiers were concentrated and thrown into one of the camps, so as to make room for the Song army soldiers to rest temporarily, because there was still a vicious battle to be fought that could only be won and defeated.

That night, the whole army stayed in the camp to rest, and the next morning, taking advantage of the fluttering snowflakes and the howling cold wind, the elite heavy cavalry was in front, and the Gu'an infantry army was behind, and more than 23,000 people marched north in the bitter cold.

Ten miles away from the perimeter of the large army, there were light cavalry scouts of the Song army every two miles, surrounding the entire army, and they took advantage of the telescope to attack the enemy first, and cleaned up the sentry posts and spies scattered by the Jin army on the way forward one by one.

The winter clothes that were urgently transported to Yanmen Pass back then, after years of sewing and storage, are now enough to supply 300,000 troops.

At this time, in the cold wind howling, the Song army marched forward in thick winter clothes, and they did not feel cold at all.

These winter clothes were the confidence of Yang Congyi to launch the Northern Expedition, and with these equipment, the Song army could be fearless in the cold winter, and occupied an absolute advantage in the confrontation between the Song and Jin armies and the defensive counterattack.

Two days later, the Northern Expeditionary Army, composed of infantry and cavalry, arrived at the intended combat area under the personal command of Yang Congyi.

This place is in the southwest direction of the general transportation camp, less than 20 miles away from the Jin army camp.

At the same time, there was also a Song army of about 10,000 people in the northwest direction of the Jin army camp, which was less than 30 miles away from the Jin army camp.

In the general transportation battalion, the remaining troops have been further reduced, and the original 10,000 people have been reduced to about 8,000 at this time, but looking across the river, the transportation battalion is still in full array, and if the scouts do not go deep into the battalion, there will be no traces of troop adjustment.

The reduced forces from the transport battalion did not evacuate too far, and they moved to the village of Matou, thirty miles to the south, as if to strengthen the defense of the bridge.

At the same time, the Song army also discovered that the canal was frozen, and a single person could cross the river on the ice.

As more people became aware of the fact that the canal was frozen, and after personally going down to the river to step on the ice experiment, the generals under Ming Fu understood why they were asked to withdraw their grain, grass, materials and troops from the transportation camp.

There is no doubt that the Jin army suddenly withdrew its troops and stopped building the boat bridge, and did not retreat, that is, they were waiting for the harsh winter to come, and the canal froze, and then the Jin army was able to step on the ice and walk on the ground. If it weren't for the advance transfer of the transportation camp, it would have been too late when the Jin army suddenly rushed into the camp like a tide one morning. Therefore, the decision to transfer grain and grass in advance and disperse the troops is very wise.

As a result, the generals suddenly had infinite admiration and confidence in the people who made the decisions above, and at the same time, their belief in the victory of the Northern Expedition was also firmer!

On the same day, more than 10,000 people stationed near Matou Village received another order: to withdraw to the south bank, with the only bridge as the center, and deploy defensive positions along the canal!

Although the generals who received the order did not yet know about the overall deployment, out of trust in the above, they quickly began to mobilize troops and deploy positions.

In the camp of the Jin army, the commanders of the Jin army gathered to do pre-war mobilization.

"The time we have been waiting for for a long time has arrived, and the canal ice is more than two inches thick, and at the current rate of freezing, it will be three inches thick by noon tomorrow. At that time, according to the previous deployment, all armies only need to move forward and rush straight to the Song army camp, and the battle will be undefeated. If the Song army didn't run fast enough, the results of this battle would be beyond imagination. After taking the transportation camp in front of them, the Song army of Chaobai River in the north will become a turtle in an urn. Whether we can win big or not depends on tomorrow's battle. Do you have the confidence to win? ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The generals shouted in unison, and it was clear from their eyes that this was not a compliment, but from the bottom of their hearts, and they absolutely believed that this battle could be won.

"Good! In the battle of tomorrow, the army that won the most heads of the Song army, the commander will personally report for him, if there is an opportunity to recommend him to serve in Liaoyang Mansion, give him the opportunity to soar! Looking at the fiery eyes of the generals, the commander of the Jin army immediately threw out a piece of fat meat.

As soon as the subordinate generals heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, going to Liaoyang Mansion to serve was equivalent to becoming a close general of the emperor, and the future would be limitless, this is an opportunity that everyone dreams of.

But the commander of the Jin army immediately changed his face, and said: "If someone is cheating and playing tricks tomorrow, greedy for life and afraid of death, and does not act according to the plan, this commander will not show mercy!" If you don't win tomorrow, who will land your head, Ben Shuai is not ambiguous, and he doesn't care how deep your family background is! Do you understand? ”

The generalissimo seldom said such cruel words, and when these words entered their ears, the generals could not help but be shocked.

But at the same time they were frightened, they immediately responded: "The last general understands!" ”

"It's good to understand. Next, Ben Shuai will assign you the order of crossing the river to attack. ”

Although the ice on the surface of the canal is thick, it is only ice, there is a limit to the thickness of the ice, and there is a limit to how many soldiers can be carried across the river at one time.

Therefore, which army of 40,000 troops crossed the river first, which army followed, and which army was behind the palace, must be clearly arranged in advance, and the same area, at the same time, how many people can be carried on the ice also need to be explained, and then each army can survive the charge.

The commander of the Jin army had already thought about these problems and experimented clearly, so he quickly arranged the order of the various armies and the attack formation.

"Also, war horses are easy to step on the ice, and when you cross the river tomorrow to attack the Song army camp, no one is allowed to cross the river on horseback, including you, no one can lead the war horse out of the camp. In addition, the ice was very slippery, and the soldiers of the first group of troops crossing the river had to bring enough hay and lay it on the ice when crossing the river, so that the subsequent armies could quickly cross the river to support. These two things, you must keep in mind, if someone does not obey the general's order, resulting in an attack that is not as expected, the commander will definitely be dealt with by military law! "After the main matters were arranged, the commander of the Jin Army put forward supplementary requirements.

"Yes!" At the moment of the war, the generals did not dare to disobey, and they could not disobey, because what the generalissimo said was indeed reasonable.

After the arrangements and arrangements for crossing the river tomorrow to attack the Song army's battalion were explained, and after the generals understood it, they immediately left the commander's tent and returned to their respective battalions to summon the officers of each battalion to convey the generalissimo's demands and orders.

On this night, the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Army Battalion were all in a complex mood of nervousness, panic, and anticipation until dawn.

The next morning, several horsemen set out from the temporary camp of the Song army, twenty miles southwest of the Jin army's camp, and galloped in the north and southeast directions, carrying with them the orders of Yang Congyi, the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition.

At the same time, scouts continued to observe and probe the Jin army's camp at close range, monitoring the Jin army's every move.

Near noon, the scouts of the Song army saw the Jin army leaving the camp with the help of binoculars and heading towards the canal.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Congyi received a report from the scouts on the movements of the Jin army, and immediately ordered the whole army to prepare and attack at any time!

After another quarter of an hour, the scouts who were monitoring the camp of the Jin army reported again that the army of the Jin army had been dispatched and deployed along the canal, ready to cross the river at any time to attack the camp of the general transport!

After another quarter of an hour, the scouts near the Jin army's camp reported again that the Jin army had crossed the river on the ice of the canal under the cover of Jianzhen, and thousands of Jin soldiers had attacked the river bank before leaving!

The movements of the Jin army would be sent back to the camp every quarter of an hour, and the generals and officers of the various armies were paying attention to and inquiring, and they naturally knew that the Jin army had launched an attack on the general transport camp, so many generals sent people to the camp to ask when to send troops.

Yang Congyi only ordered the whole army to prepare, but did not order the whole army to go out, because the time for the army to set off had not yet come, and he had to continue to wait.

He replied to the armies, telling them to wait quietly, and when the time came, the armies could charge freely and attack the camp of the Jin army, without restraint!

Half an hour later, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jin army crossed the canal and fought fiercely in front of the camp with the Song soldiers in the transportation camp.

An hour later, the Song army was defeated and retreated for several miles, and the Jin army attacked the transportation camp.

An hour and a half later, the remnants of the Song army fled south and disappeared, and the Jin army captured the general transport camp.

"Order! The whole army attacked, and the target was the camp of the Jin Army! ”

At the moment of Shen, the order was issued from the battalion, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it spread throughout the entire battalion.

After receiving the order, the armies set off one after another and went straight to the camp of the Jin army in the northeast.

Although the Jingwu Forbidden Army was a heavy cavalry, all of them had war horses, it was still faster than the infantry army running on only two legs, and it rushed to the front of the infantry army in less than a quarter of an hour.

At this time, the infantry army looked at the Jingwu forbidden army that Yang Xue was far away, and he was really envious, jealous and hateful, if they also had a war horse, they would never fall behind the forbidden army and eat fart!

After the Jingwu forbidden army left, the infantry army quickly divided into front and rear due to the difference in the speed of the march.

In front of the cavalry, the speed of the infantry army could not catch up, so naturally there was nothing to say, but it was the same infantry army, and it was difficult for someone to accept it if someone ran in front of him.

Therefore, before the war, the various armies and departments launched a rare marching competition on the wilderness and snow, and this army was in front for a while, and then it was overtaken by other troops, and the competition between the various departments was in full swing.

And the purpose of this competition is to rush to the battlefield one step earlier, enter the battlefield, and grab military merits!

Soon, the momentum of this competition was discovered by Yang Congyi.

After a moment's thought, he immediately ordered the competition to be stopped, and ordered all armies to advance at a uniform pace in the current order, and not to waste their physical strength at will!
