"Song Jun is here! The Song army is on the other side! The Song army ...... on the other side of the river"

A frightened and sudden shout from far and near broke the silence in the transportation camp.

The soldiers of the Jin Army, who were stimulated by the word "Song Army" and suddenly opened their sleepy eyes, saw that no one got up in the barracks, so they scolded and lay down again, but after this trouble, they could no longer sleep.

"Do you think there really is a Song army coming?" Someone asked.

"Fart, do you want to die?"

"I really want them to come back, and when we come back, we can have military merits again."

"Don't listen to the chatter outside, if something happens, the horn has already sounded. Go to bed! ”

"Sleep, sleep. If you don't sleep, go out and drink the wind, don't disturb us. ”

After the soldiers chattered, the barracks fell silent again, and the frightened, nervous shouts that came from a distance continued.

However, within half an hour, the piercing sound of the horn suddenly sounded in all parts of the transportation camp.

The soldiers of the Jin Army, who were still sleeping in the barracks, were alarmed by the sudden "emergency assembly" horn, and in their surprise, they rolled over one after another, and their minds were full of questions.

What happened? Is there really a Song army to send him to death?

No one explained it to them, and no one could explain it to them.

The sound of the trumpets continued, urging everyone to leave the barracks, and the whole transportation camp changed from tranquility to noisy disorder in a very short time, and the junior officers, like ordinary soldiers, stood in the snow in a daze, not knowing what had happened.

At this time, in the tent of the commander of the Jin army, the commander of the Jin army and the main generals gathered, and the atmosphere in the tent was tense and dull.

"Dashuai, what should we do? Recapture the camp or kill the Xianghe first? A general asked.

The commander of the Jin army did not answer, the appearance of a large number of Song troops in the direction of the Jin army camp was completely unexpected, this is a situation that he never imagined, and no one would have imagined it under normal circumstances.

So where did the Song army come from? Chaobai River Daying, or Gu'an, or Hejian Mansion and Jinan Mansion further south? No one could tell him the answer.

Also, how did the Song army evade the detection of the various sentinels scattered by the Jin army, and appeared near the Jin army's camp when the Jin army was defenseless?

Why did the Jin army cross the river on the front foot and capture the Song army's transportation camp, and the Song army appeared on the west bank of the canal on the back foot, and built a high wall on the river bank without the Jin army noticing?

Is there a spy of the Song army in the Jin army who gives them a tip-off, or is the entire battle situation under the control of the Song army?

The commander of the Jin army was full of questions at this time, and no one could give him an answer.

Yesterday, the Song army captured the transportation camp, the whole army celebrated the victory, but when they woke up, they found that their own camp five miles away was lost, and the Song army copied the back road, and for a while, almost no one could accept this reality.

But the facts are in front of us, and we must accept them as well as those that cannot be accepted.

The Song army appeared on the other side of the canal, and also repaired a high wall along the canal, obviously they have captured the Jin army camp, the soldiers who stayed in the camp will not have a good result, but more importantly, the grain and grass materials fell into the hands of the Song army, especially the tens of thousands of war horses, if they can not quickly return to the other side and defeat the Song army, they will not be able to win this battle.

The commander of the Jin army had a tumbling mind and a brain teaser.

After pondering for a moment, we only heard him say: "Our big camp is definitely gone, but from the fact that the Song army built a wall by the river and started a defensive situation, instead of taking the opportunity to attack the camp last night, we can guess that the size of the opponent's army will not be too large, and its strength should not exceed 20,000 people, otherwise they will be able to take advantage of our army's unpreparedness last night and defeat us in one fell swoop." In order to avoid the loss of the fruits of victory, we must counterattack with superior forces, retake the canal, and recapture the camp! ”

If the battalion is lost, they will not only run out of food and grass, but even the war horses will be snatched away by the Song army, which will never be allowed to happen.

The generals didn't have much thought, and no one said anything in this situation, just waiting for the generalissimo's order.

The commander of the Jin army glanced at the generals, and then issued an order: "This place is backed by the Chaobai River, there is no worry behind it, and the troops in the direction of the Chaobai River are back to the camp and stand by." Although the Song army fled south yesterday, it cannot be ruled out that they would cooperate with the Song army on the other side of the canal to launch a counterattack against the transportation camp, and the front army would move south for ten miles within an hour to set up defenses. The rest of the troops obeyed the order, and within three hours, launched an attack on the west bank of the canal and recaptured the camp! ”

"Yes!"

The generals didn't say a word, and immediately received the order.

"Go back and prepare quickly, and after half an hour, the whole army will launch a counterattack on time!"

The commander of the Jin army gave an order, and everyone received the order, quickly left the tent, and went back to gather the generals of the headquarters to mobilize and prepare.

After the generals left, the commander of the Jin army successively received news from the spies who were exploring along the canal, and learned that there were still high walls built by the Song army up and down the canal, and I don't know how many miles it extended.

At this time, the commander of the Jin army knew that the scale of the Song army on the opposite side might be larger than expected, and at the same time, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

There is no doubt that they will face an uphill battle next.

Half an hour later, the various units of the Jin army lined up on the bank of the river, a mile away from the canal, and assembled.

Then, after hearing an order, all the units of the Jin army quickly gathered together and rushed towards the canal from the bank of the river nearly a mile long, in an attempt to take advantage of the loophole in the Song army's scattered garrison of the canal, rush across the canal in one fell swoop, and recapture the camp.

Twenty or thirty thousand gold troops moved, rushing towards the canal like a tide.

The Song army, which was stationed on the bank of the canal and covered by the snow wall built by himself, had already discovered the movements of the Jin army, and not only smashed the ice that had not fully recovered within a zhang from the river bank, but also had already found a position to block the Jin army from crossing the river.

At the same time, Yang Congyi personally mobilized 3,000 cavalry, divided into 30 teams, ambushed one mile away from the river bank, hid behind a snow wall, observed the movements of the Jin army and the defensive position with a telescope in his hand, and once he found that the Jin army broke through the canal defense line, he could immediately order the cavalry to rush up as soon as possible and drive the Jin army back to the river.

In addition to the 3,000 cavalry in ambush between the two armies, the other 2,000 cavalry were divided into two routes and deployed along the canal, one ten miles to the north and the other ten miles to the south, to prevent the Jin army from going north or south from an unobservable place, and then appearing at a certain position to concentrate fire on the defensive positions on the riverbank.

Due to the lack of troops, the entire defense line seems to be stretched, but if you don't want to risk fighting hard, you can only take this method and trap the Jin army.

The Song army wanted to besiege the Jin army, but the Jin army was naturally unwilling, so they rushed to the river with weapons in hand, stepped on the ice, and rushed towards the opposite bank.

In the face of the vast number of Jin soldiers rushing over, although the three or two Song army soldiers hiding behind each snow wall were quite nervous, they still quickly raised their bows and crossbows to counterattack, and almost without aiming, they shot towards more than a dozen zhang away.

On the bank of the canal, behind the snow wall, although the sharp arrows shot by the soldiers were sparse and very limited, each arrow hit the enemy soldiers, and even if they failed to kill the other party with one arrow, they also withdrew from the charging team, slightly delaying the unscrupulous charging speed of the Jin army.

Although the Jin army did not have war horses, they still charged fast, and they seemed to be fearless in order to recapture the camp and win the final victory.

After the Song soldiers hiding behind the snow wall quickly shot five or six arrows, the Jin army had already rushed through the middle line of the canal, and the distance between the two sides was so close that they could see each other's faces clearly.

The soldiers of the Song army clearly saw Jin Bing with his mouth open, holding the knife and gun in his hand, howling as he ran, his eyes were on fire, and his face was hideous, as if he wanted to tear them apart.

Looking at the dense golden soldiers rushing over, the soldiers of the Song army couldn't help but palpitate, and they had an urge to turn around and flee immediately.

On the other hand, the Jin army, facing the sparse sharp arrows that almost did not cause much damage to them, rushed to the middle line of the canal in one breath, without a moment of hesitation under their feet, and continued to charge towards the opposite side, at this moment they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to rush across the river bank, defeat the Song army, and recapture the camp!

The ice under their feet is still strong, giving the Jin army full confidence that yesterday the ice could carry them through the canal to the east, and today it can carry them back to the west.

Looking around, there are less than 1,000 Song troops in front of him, how can they stop their tens of thousands of people from attacking? There is absolutely no reason why this battle will not be impossible!

The soldiers of the Jin Army, who were charging ahead, were full of confidence, and they couldn't help but exert more strength to speed up the charge, so that they could rush ahead and win the first feat.

The distance from the river bank was getting closer and closer, and the Jin soldiers who were charging forward became more and more excited, because they clearly saw the horror in the eyes of the Song soldiers not far away, and the other party's panic stimulated them to accelerate their charge.

Hachijo... Seven Zhang... Liuzhang... Wuzhang... Sizhang... Sanzhang...

It is only a few feet away from rushing to the opposite bank, and the Jin army that is charging forward is all excited, there is no doubt that this is another victory that can be easily won, as long as you rush fast enough, you can win more battles!

The Jin soldiers running on the ice were surging with blood, using all their strength on their legs, and strode towards the opposite bank.

However, just when they were only less than two zhang away from the shore, the Jin soldier who was at the forefront suddenly felt a light under him, and his brain went blank in an instant!

When he came back to his senses, he was already in the water, the river was chest-high, and before he could make any moves, a piece of ice floe knocked him directly into the water.

The moment he fell into the river, he saw that all around him were people who had fallen into the water, and from their faces, he saw the same horror as the Song soldiers opposite, or even worse!

The canal ice is cracked!

Just when the Jin soldiers were only about two zhang away from the river bank, the ice layer more than three inches thick finally burst under the weight, and then in an instant, the entire ice layer that filled the Jin army was all shattered, and thousands of Jin soldiers fell into the water.

The panic caused by the sudden accident, the pieces of broken ice, the crowded crowd, although the river is not deep, many people still fall into the bottom of the river after falling into the water, and out of instinct to pull and toss desperately, they still quickly lose their lives.

Because the solid ice suddenly shattered without warning, countless golden soldiers fell into the water, and they struggled, or were stunned, or fled for their lives, and the river was in chaos.

In the midst of the rest, the momentum of the Jin Army was like a rainbow and the momentum of indomitable was gone.
