Chapter 492: Encirclement

The sky was getting dark, and the six thousand Jurchen soldiers and horses were galloping wildly towards the east!

They had been gone for an hour, and both Wanyan Zongmei and the Lizhou guards were a little relieved at this moment.

The grassland is not always flat, a high slope appeared in front of it, and the army of six thousand Jurchens rushed towards the high slope!

Having already walked half the distance, Wanyan Zongmei was already able to see the top of the slope, but at this time, his eyes suddenly flowered, and he seemed to see a figure above, and he was stunned for a moment!

Before he could figure out what the hell was going on, there was a shout of killing from above!

The Liaodong Military Region has a total of 150,000 troops, of which 100,000 soldiers and horses have conquered Fuqing, and Liu Qi has personally led the remaining cavalry to the north, some of which have blocked the direction due north, and Liu Qi has led 20,000 cavalry to block the east!

20,000 cavalry of the Song army rushed down from above, accompanied by a rain of arrows!

The six thousand Jurchen soldiers on the half-slope also began to fight back, the Jurchens were good at riding and shooting, and their riding and archery skills were also quite good, but they were below, and the Song army was above, and the Song army had the terrain!

When Song Jun and Jurchen began to come into contact, the terrain became more obvious! The Song army has the strength of men and horses, and has a momentum from top to bottom, while the power of the Jurchens has been attenuated a lot!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Jurchens were driven down the high slopes!

The defenders of this Lizhou City are pure Jurchen soldiers and horses, and their combat effectiveness is also quite strong!

At this moment, the Song army has been divided into two parts, 10,000 soldiers and horses are still charging towards the Jurchens in front, while the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses are coming around from behind, outflanking the Jurchens!

Half an hour later, the Jurchens finally began to completely rout!

Beside Yan Zongmei, countless Jurchen soldiers fled in all directions!

"How so? Our Jurchens are invincible! Although we only have 6,000 people, the number of Han Chinese is not very large, why were we Jurchens defeated? No way! That's impossible! Wanyan Zongmei shouted loudly.

"Your Highness, run away!" Captain Wan was still beside Wanyan Zongmei, and said anxiously.

"Doesn't it mean that the Han people are weak? Why did you lose? Wanyan Zongmei said angrily.

"Your Highness, that was before! The Han people are much stronger now than they used to be! "Wanfu said.

"I don't believe it! Go, charge with me, let's go and defeat the Han Chinese! Wanyan Zongmei gritted her teeth and said.

"Your Highness, you come with me, you can watch as you go! How do you look at the combat power of the Song army? "Wanfu said.

Wanyan Zongmei didn't want to listen to Captain Wan's words at all, he still struggled to move forward, Captain Wanfu hesitated for a moment, chased after him, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Wanyan Zongmei, pulled him to his horse, and then fled towards the south together!

"Let go of me, you coward!" Wanyan Zongmei said.

"Your Highness, take a good look at the back! See if the Song army is stronger or weaker than our Jurchens? "Wanfu said.

Wanyan Zongmei kept struggling, but he couldn't struggle at all!

At this moment on the battlefield, the Song army has formed an encirclement of the Jurchens in all ranges! Only a few hundred Jurchens were able to escape!

The Song army cooperated with each other to kill the Jurchens! In less than a quarter of an hour, the shouts and killings on the battlefield were quiet! Another quarter of an hour passed, and the battlefield had calmed down!

At this moment, Captain Wan had already taken Wanyan Zongmei to the south a few miles away, and they began to head towards the east.

"Your Highness, how do Han people compare to us Jurchens?" Wanfu said.

"This can't be, the Han people can't be so powerful! They should be much worse than us Jurchens! How so? How so? Wanyan Zongmei lost her soul and said.

"In the past, the Han people were indeed inferior to us, but now the Han people are very strong! They were able to defeat us in the Central Plains and Yanyun, which is enough to prove their strength! Your Highness, we Jurchens must admit this fact, the Han people are now stronger than us! "Wanfu said.

Among the Jurchens, Wanyan Yanying is not the only one who can see the current situation in the world, and this commander is also a sober-minded person!

"You're wrong, the Han people are still inferior to us! What we saw this time was the most elite team of Han Chinese! Ordinary Han people are much worse than us, and we are still invincible! After a while, Wanyan Zongmei suddenly laughed and said.

"Your Highness, if you don't believe it, let's go to Fushu to take a look, we have been following the Han people, let's see if the other Han people are also so powerful!" Wanfu said.

"You talk nonsense! If the Han people were really so strong, they would have been able to destroy our Dajin Kingdom, but they have been hiding in the pass and did not dare to come out at all, which is enough to prove their weakness! "Wanyan Zongmei said hysterically.

"Your Highness, aren't they coming out?" Wanfu said.

"Uh......" Wanyan Zongmei was stunned for a moment, and said: "They are just leaving Shanhaiguan temporarily, and they will return to Shanhaiguan soon!" Trust me, there's nothing wrong with that! ”

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that not only Shanhaiguan, but also the Song army in Juyongguan and Datong have already gone north! The Song people have gone north completely, hundreds of thousands of troops have gone north, and our Dajin country is finished! The Jurchens are finished! "Wanfu said.

"No way, this can't be!" Wanyan Zongmei shook her head and said.

"Your Highness, we need to tell Marshal Zong Han about this matter immediately! If Marshal Zong Han leads the army westward, he and Lord Wanyanchang and the fourth prince join forces, plus Guo Yaoshi's 100,000 resentful army, plus Yelu Dashi, the Mongols, etc., we still have a chance to block the Han people! "Wanfu said.

"Not bad!" Wanyan Zongmei nodded at this time.

The two of them never stayed any longer, running towards the east, not to mention it!

******

Late at night that day, all the 150,000 troops of the Liaodong Military Region entered the city of Lizhou!

"Pass the order and impose a curfew in Lizhou City!"

"The army has the right to enter any civilian home! If anyone resists, there will be no mercy! ”

"Collect all weapons! Someone saves a weapon and kills without mercy! ”

"Military personnel must not violate military law! The Judge Advocate General's Office is closely watching! ”

Liu Qi stood on the city wall of Lizhou and gave orders one after another.

This Lizhou is an important city south of Zhongjing, and the Eastern Route Army wants to store grain and grass here! Soon, all 100,000 militia will go north, and this will be an important stronghold of the militia, so there can be no resistance here! Anyone, regardless of men, women, or children, can survive if they obey military orders, but if they violate the military orders issued by the Liaodong Military Region, they will be unceremoniously wiped out.

"Marshal, if nothing else, the 170,000 troops of the Yanyun Military Region have now conquered Zezhou! They should only be a few hundred miles away from Yuzhou! Our Eastern Route Army is not far from Yuzhou! At this time, a young general came behind Liu Qi.

The name of this young general is Yang Yizhong, and he is also from a family of military generals in the northwest! His father, Yang Zhen, used to be an important general of the Zhejia army, and once followed his cousin Zhe Kecun to attack Fang La, and made great contributions! Historically, Yang Yizhong has also made great contributions! In the sixth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Yizhong was awarded the title of Baocheng Army Festival Envoy and Yu Hou in front of the palace because of the defeat of Jin Bing, and he also led the guard horses and infantry divisions, and commanded the Sanya Guards! In the eleventh year of Shaoxing, in the battle of Zhehua, which was listed as one of the "Thirteen Exploits of Zhongxing", Yang Yizhong defeated the soldiers and horses of the Jin State led by Jin Wushu.

He was originally also a member of the Zhejia Army, but later Zhao Chen transformed the Zhejia Army, and Yang Yizhong entered the forbidden army! In the sixth year of Xuanwu, Yang Yizhong marched with Qu Duan to Hedong and Hebei, and then the forbidden army in Hedong and Hebei was under the jurisdiction of Liu Qi, and now Yang Yizhong is Liu Qi's deputy general, deputy commander of the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Military Region!

"Good, we're going to pick up the pace too! Yizhong, you lead 100,000 infantry to march into Yuzhou, and I lead the cavalry to the north to attack Nanhe and Hezhong! Let's cooperate with the Yanyun Military Region to completely encircle Yuzhou, and then encircle and annihilate! Liu Qi said.

If the plan is not flawed, the 300,000 troops of the Song army will completely surround Yuzhou! Guo Yaoshi and his 100,000 resentful army will be under siege!

The resentment army has been formed for a long time, but there are almost no achievements! When the Jurchens were just rising, the resentful army was repeatedly defeated in the face of the Jurchens! Later, Guo Yaoshi first took refuge in the Song Dynasty, and then in the Jurchens! Until the seventh year of Xuanwu, they had hardly fought for seven years! Although I don't know what the current combat strength of the resentful army is, their combat experience is definitely not as good as the hundreds of thousands of Song troops who have experienced a hundred battles!

"Let's be like a giant closing his five fingers now, pinching Yuzhou in our hands and crushing it! The court is watching us, and His Majesty is watching us! We can't let the court and Your Majesty down! The army is very tired all the way north, even the war horses are exhausted, let the soldiers rest for the night, tomorrow morning, our whole army will go west and north! Liu Qi said.
