When the dragon and phoenix bells and drums on the tower of Xuanwu Gate sounded, it meant that there would be a war in the Song Kingdom, but in the Huizong Dynasty, the bells and drums rang too many times, so that the people of Tokyo City are now numb to this sound.

After several battles in the south and the north, there are now few forbidden troops stationed in Tokyo City, but even if the camel dies, it is bigger than a horse, with the sound of bells and drums, groups of Song soldiers quickly appeared in line from various military camps, and finally gathered in the square in front of the imperial city.

The 100,000-strong army led by the famous general of the Western Army, Seed Master Dao, has not yet returned because of the conquest of Western Xia, and another general of the Seed Family, Seed Division, is still staying in Ezhou to guard against the Chinese Empire that has no intention of going north.

Even when the Song State reached such a difficult time now, Huizong Zhao Ji and those civil servants still did not forget the ancestral training of suppressing the military generals, and the commander of the four walls of the capital was still a civil official.

Li Gang, the word Boji, Mr. Liangxi, a native of Wuxi, Changzhou, is from Shaowu, Fujian. In the second year of Song Hui Zongzhenghe, Li Gang ascended to the rank of Jinshi, and served as an official to Taichang Shaoqing.

Although he was a civil official, Li Gang had a family history and stayed up in the military, because his father Li Kui had accompanied Lu Huiqing to resist the Western Xia and made meritorious contributions.

Speaking of which, Li Gang was promoted by Zhao Ji of Huizong to be the squire of the military department, and served as the imperial envoy of the four walls of the capital, thanks to Wu Min in Cai You's lineage.

This time, Li Gang was ordered to command all the forbidden troops and Xiang troops near Tokyo to defend the imperial capital, which can be described as a heavy responsibility, but the first order given to him by Huizong Zhao Ji was not to guard against the Jin soldiers in the north, but to guard against the 30,000 imperial troops ashore in Chenliu.

Li Nan knew that the monarchs of the Song Kingdom were worried about the army he led, so after going ashore, he did not take people in the direction of Tokyo City, but rushed directly to the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou.

According to Li Nan's idea, the Song State was guarded by 20,000 Song troops led by He Guan, the deputy envoy of Hebei Hedong Road, in Huazhou, on the north bank of the Yellow River, and tens of thousands of Song troops were stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Even if He Guan and his 20,000 Song troops did not dare to fight hard with the Jin soldiers, then he only needed to withdraw to the south bank of the Yellow River, and after the two armies converged, they would burn the Yellow River Bridge, and the Jin soldiers would definitely not dare to cross the river.

Facts have proved that He Guan, the general of the Hebei Hedong Road Unified Army of the Song Kingdom, is not even as good as a pig.

After knowing the news that Jin Bing was coming, He Guan chose to flee without even seeing the shadow of Jin Bing. And it doesn't matter if he escaped, this wave of fear of gold also affected the Song soldiers on the south bank of the Yellow River.

When the Jin army appeared on the other side of the Yellow River, the Song army guarding here was suddenly frightened, hurriedly burned the bridge and boats, and then fled all the way south.

Since the Song army was in a hurry to flee and only burned some large ferries, the Jin soldiers quickly found some small boats nearby and began to cross the river.

It took 60,000 days for the 70,000 Jin soldiers to transport all the troops to the south bank of the Yellow River, and it was a miracle that the Jin soldiers crossed the river back and forth, and the upper and lower ranks were scattered and exhausted, and they were not attacked at all.

Afterwards, Wanyan Zongwang, the commander of the Jin Bing East Route Army, sighed: "The Southern Dynasty can be said to be unmanned, if there are one or two thousand people, how can our generation cross!"

When all the golden soldiers had crossed the Yellow River and were recuperating and resting, the flying eagle controlled by the shapeshifter Wa Er also spotted them.

After listening to the latest enemy situation from Watt, Li Nan scolded angrily: "It's really a group of wine bags and rice bags!" Even if you tie up a group of hunting dogs by the Yellow River, I'm afraid it will be more useful than those Song soldiers! ”

In the end, Li Nan still took advantage of the fact that the Jin soldiers had not yet discovered their own army, sent scouts to reconnoiter and alert, and ordered the whole army to seize the time to rest and prepare for the upcoming battle.

There wasn't much time left for the Imperial Army, because half an hour later, the Sentinel Cavalry of the Golden Soldiers met the ninja squad sent out by Hattori Hanzo.

With a comparable number of people fighting in a small area, it can be said that there are not a few classes of troops that can defeat these ninjas who are trained to kill people by unscrupulous means.

Poison-hardened steel-armed crossbows, shurikens, potions that can be thrown upwind, grenades, and short-handled muskets gave the ninja scout team the upper hand, and all but a few lucky golden soldiers escaped, and the rest of the scouts were annihilated.

In fact, there is not much difference between the scout cavalry and the whole of them, and soon Yan Zongwang knew that there were enemy troops on the road ahead.

Li Nan was very dissatisfied with the timing of this unprepared battle, because the nearby terrain was a plain suitable for cavalry, and half of the Imperial army, which was made up of infantry, was much less mobile.

Up to now, Li Nan had no other way but to use this time to order the whole army to arrange various defensive facilities.

The wooden horses made in an emergency, the deep pits dug with special round barrels and shovels, the Mo sword formation composed of the bull roaring barbarian heavy infantry, the neatly arranged musketeers, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks, and on the rear slope is the main formation of the general where Li Nan is located......

As soon as everything was ready, there was a rumbling sound of horses galloping on the ground in the north, and 70,000 golden soldiers arrived.

Wanyan Zongwang is also one of the top generals in the Jin Kingdom, and after a little observation, especially after seeing several red Shuanglong banners in the enemy camp, his face became grim.

After a little thought, Wanyan Zongwang ordered the general Guo Yaoshi to send 3,000 cavalry troops to launch a tentative charge against the imperial army's position.

Finding out the reality and combat power of the enemy army is what every general must do in the face of an unfamiliar enemy, and Guo Yaoshi, the victorious army that first rebelled against the Song State and then descended to the Jin State, is the best vanguard, anyway, they are not their own people, even if they are all dead, Wanyan Zongwang will not feel distressed at all.

Faced with the order given by Yan Zongwang, Pharmacist Guo did not dare to disobey. As a general, he really doesn't have much choice.

Even if a robber joins a certain cottage, he needs to vote, and if Guo Yaoshi, who has repeatedly rebelled, wants to gain the trust of Wanyan Zongwang, he can only prove it with the blood and lives of the victorious army and the enemy.

More than 3,000 war horses slowly accelerated, making a thunderous hoof sound, and in an instant, they came to the defensive front of the imperial army.

Seeing the 3,000 cavalry entering the firing range, Eligon, who was in charge of commanding the musketeers, calmly waved the command flag.

At the sight of the flag, the three rows of musketeers lying on their stomachs, crouching and standing all aimed ahead, and when they heard the sharp whistle, all the muzzles of their guns erupted with fire.

"Bang, bang, bang......" The sound of shooting rang out one after another, and thousands of projectiles flew out of the muzzles of their guns, carrying the will of death, and sowed on the oncoming three thousand victorious iron horsemen.
