In the early morning of the same day, seven or eight unarmored Tartar light cavalry appeared not far in front of the Qingzhou army's defense line, and they slowly approached the position less than two hundred steps away from the Qingzhou army's defense line, and carefully looked at the rudimentary breastwork with a beastly cold gaze.

However, they are few in number, and in the face of a long wall with no end in sight, they have no intention of taking the initiative to attack.

This location is relatively close to the north, and it is one of the shortest routes for the Tartars to come from Ji Province, and it is also the most likely location to become the main direction of the Tartars' attack, so Xu Shiyang arranged the most elite and veterans Dingyuan battalion on this section of the defense line.

After receiving the notice of the appearance of the Tartars, Xu Shiyang immediately rode to the front line, which happened to be opposite the Tartar sentry.

When the Tartars saw the fiery red military flag that followed Xu Shiyang, they immediately realized that this should be the enemy's commander, and they thought that they had detected enough information, so they did not make any provocative moves, and quickly disappeared into the early morning mist.

"It's about to begin."

Looking at the back of the Tartar sentry riding away, Xu Shiyang muttered to himself.

……

Binzhou, the camp of the Jin Army.

"Hangou doesn't know how to fight at all!" After hearing the return of the sentry horseman, Dajin Guotianhui Khan frowned and muttered, "A low wall no more than three feet high? What can this stop? ”

"There's got to be behind the walls." Bo Ji Lie Shi Lie Zhining said: "If the Han dog on the other side only has this level, then how can Hai Huli lose his life and give us hundreds of gold soldiers!" ”

"That only shows that Hai Huli is more stupid than the Han dog opposite." Another Bo Ji Lie Wan Yan Zong said coldly: "You are just a stupid person leading the troops at Fu Shilie's family. ”

Fu Shi Lie Zhining's eyes froze, but he didn't say anything.

Hailin Bao is considered to be his subordinate of Su Shi Lie Zhining, and it can also be said that he is a domestic slave of the Su Shi Lie family, leading a Meng'an soldier to sweep Qingzhou, but the whole army was wiped out, and almost no one or a horse escaped back, which can be said to be the biggest defeat for the Han people since the founding of Dajin.

Wanyan Zonggan took Hai Lin Bao to stimulate him, which was a big mockery to Su Shi Lie Zhining.

However, it is a fact that Hai Linbao was defeated, and Wanyan Zonggan is a clan relative, Taizu's son, although everyone is extremely strong, but the political status is high, which Su Shi Lie Zhining still understands.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wanyan Zonggan didn't chase after him, but turned his head to Tianhui Khan and said: "We didn't agree to the army coming, but now it seems that as long as you lead the troops with a fierce fight, you can break through Qingzhou, the Great Khan is really careful, now that 100,000 soldiers and horses are gathered, even if Qingzhou is broken, how much can each family grab?" ”

It is not to blame Yan Zonggan for complaining, for this expedition, the Jurchens dried up and fished in their own territory, desperately looting, and starved to death thousands of slaves of various ethnic groups and the old and weak of their own clans, so that they could barely scrape together enough food for the whole army to attack.

If you can't grab enough supplies, even if you win this war, you will lose money.

Dajin Tianhui finished sweating and Wu Qimai did not speak, just quietly waited for the sentry to bring back more news.

After about an hour, new information returned: several sentries on the right flank of the army had been running along the earthen wall for a long time, but still not finding the end, and it seemed that the opposite side had indeed chosen the most stupid solution - to wrap the entire territory with a low wall.

Hearing the news, the Jurchen nobles couldn't help but laugh.

They may not have much culture, but they are all old and old, and they can see at a glance the weaknesses of the enemy on the other side:

Such a defense must be an evenly divided defense, and they can choose to break through from any point.

Once one point is breached, the entire line of defense is completely wasted, and all that remains is to ride horses to chase and kill.

From this point of view, the commander on the opposite side is indeed a mallet - he has no confidence in judging the direction of the main attack of the Jin army, and he does not dare to believe in the ability of his subordinates to maneuver and plug leaks.

It's weird to be able to win.

Wanyan Zonggan sighed and said, "Han dogs don't know soldiers!" We actually went out for these cowards. ”

"Not really." Wanyan Wu begged to buy and said nonchalantly: "It's better to say that Han Dog can't fight." ”

He shook his whip and pointed into the distance, and said in a loud voice:

"There are hundreds of thousands of slaves on the other side, as well as the coins they have stolen, if you can build such a long wall, there must be a lot of food, all of them will be robbed, it will be of great help to my Dajin country!"

"Such a fat pig, think about it yourself, who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie, but stay in their hometown in Liaodong?"

"Besides, at first it was just a Mooke, and then it fell into a Meng'an, let's not take a look for ourselves, who dares to say that a Bo Ji Lie will definitely win?"

This is reasonable, no matter whether the enemy on the opposite side is strong or weak, it is certain that defeating them will be able to grab a lot of money.

According to the unspoken rule of the Jurchens all along, against the spoils of war, the nobles who lead the soldiers are usually whoever grabs it, and at most after returning home, they will symbolically hand over a part of it and distribute it to the unlucky ones who stay in the nest.

Therefore, in the face of the goal of oil and water, no one wants to squat at home and wait to lick the edge of the bowl for others.

After Yan Zonggan complained just now, he was just emphasizing the difficulties, in order to wait for Qingzhou to be broken and he could be assigned a better place to plunder.

In this case, let's act as soon as possible, quickly break this funny low wall, kill all the resisting Han dogs, and then sweep away the wealth and silk women accumulated in Qingzhou in the past few years, so as to satisfy the hunger and thirst of Dajin soldiers for blood and wealth.

Then rest and recuperate, ready to unify the world!

This is a dream that Dajin Tianhui Khan has never given up.

……

Compared with the Qingzhou Army, which was almost evenly divided in strength, the Jin Army's arrangement was relatively concentrated.

According to the arrangement of Tianhui Khan Wanyan Wu Begging, he himself will lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Hulu, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Tart, Wanyan Yinshuo and Su Shi Lie Zhining and other six Bo Jilie to form the Southern Route Army, launch an attack from the vicinity of Yucheng, which is slightly south, cross the Yellow River and attack Quancheng, and then attack Zhangqiu, Zichuan, and Qingzhou Mansion to the east.

The Northern Route Army had Wanyan Xian also commanded Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongbi and other generals, a total of six Bo Jilie, starting from Binzhou locally, after crossing the Yellow River, attacking Boxing and Linzi, and finally joining forces with the Southern Route Army in Qingzhou.

In this attack, about 30,000 people from the Jurchen headquarters participated in the battle, and more than 10,000 Jurchens, more than 30,000 slave soldiers composed of Khitan, Bohai, Goryeo, Han and other ethnic groups, and 30,000 Han Bo extremely fierce soldiers and horses from the Yanyun region.

The total army of 100,000 people is even more than the strength of the first expedition to Zhou more than ten years ago, when the cowardly court was driven south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.

It can be seen that the Jurchens have not done nothing in the past ten years, at least from the poor countryside in Liaodong, it is quite good to be able to integrate such a mobile force.

It's just that the truly trustworthy soldiers and horses of the headquarters are still scarce, and the slave soldiers are all thin and weak, and their combat effectiveness is completely different from that of the real Jurchen.
