Chapter 274: Pick-up

Under the long-term control of these two, the officers in the Song army who wanted to be promoted by their ability were considered pedantic and ridiculous; It is said that every officer position has a corresponding price, and only military merit and seniority are far from enough, and it is necessary to be able to come up with money to get these positions. Officers who have been given these positions usually use three ways to recoup their investment and make a profit: one is to eat empty salaries. It means that 10,000 people will be paid according to the registration, and 2,000 people will actually be paid; The second is to drink the blood of soldiers. The method is to distribute the money and food that should be given to the soldiers, and come up with various names to deduct them; The third is the unpaid use of soldiers' servitude, which is relatively easy to understand. Plus the step-by-step contribution of junior officers for promotion. These have become an unwritten system and are tacitly understood by everyone. This is the case in all ranks and organizations of all the armies of the country. Even the troops led by the famous general of the Song State were no exception - known as the "Old Seed Jinglu" or "Old Seed Xianggong", and were recognized as the most prestigious generals at that time.

In the confrontation between the Song, Liao, and Jin armies, when the Liao army clashed with the Jin army, the Jin army was like a wolf and a tiger, and the Liao army was often defeated; And once the Song army and the Liao army started fighting, the Liao army immediately became like a wolf and a tiger, and the Song army rarely had a time when it was not beaten to a mess; It was only when the people in the country were suppressed that the Song army became like a wolf and a tiger, and it seemed particularly capable and capable of fighting. The literati of the Song Kingdom used their own pen to record what happened not long ago: when Tong Guan led the troops to square La, "the people of the southeast died by the heavenly soldiers, five or six out of ten." "After the seed master died in battle and the seed master Dao died of illness, the Song State could not even find a general with a slightly higher prestige.

Therefore, after the new Song Emperor Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he once sent 20,000 forbidden troops to defend the Yellow River crossing. As a result, the citizens of Tokyo, who were happy to see off the athletes who had managed to climb onto the horseback, clinging to the saddle or the horse's neck with both hands, did not dare to let go. At that time, people were probably happily telling this incident as a joke, and few people realized the sinister information behind it, and their own lives were controlled and defended by such people!

As a result, as soon as the banner of the Jin cavalry appeared, tens of thousands of defenders of the Yellow River dispersed. The Jin army used a small boat that was temporarily found, and sent his soldiers and horses across the dangerous Yellow River safely and safely. On the territory of the enemy, they spent five days undisturbed, calmly completing the work of transporting the cavalry, and then, unhurriedly, began to transport the infantry. Faced with this situation, the commanders of the Jin army were all puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Empire wanted to do.

During the second attack of the Jin army on the Song Dynasty, nearly 300,000 Song troops went to intercept and intercept it. None of the results were accomplished. The most typical example of the battle still occurred at the crossing of the Yellow River. At that time, a total of 130,000 Song troops were guarding the banks of the Yellow River, holding on to the Jin army across the water. That night, the Jin army did not attack, but only beat the war drums and stayed all night. As a result, the next morning, the Song army all fled, leaving only an empty barracks.

The Jin army was able to quickly kill the city of Tokyo, in fact, it should be said that the Song army's contribution was greater.

But now, in less than half a year, a different Song army appeared in front of Wanyan Zonghan, and among them, there were brave generals who dared to ride in front of the battle.

Gao Zhong suddenly raised his spear, pointed to the sky, and roared, and the 50,000 Song soldiers behind him raised their swords and guns in unison, pointing to the sky and roaring, while 10,000 war horses raised their heads and neighed, and the huge sound seemed to disperse the floating clouds in the sky. In front of such an army, it seems that the solid walls of Taiyuan City behind the Jin army will also be torn apart.

A tall warrior in the main formation of the Song army waved his flag violently, slamming the flagpole to the ground, and the soldiers stopped roaring at about the same moment, and the cavalry tightened the reins to control their horses. The sound subsided, but the people present seemed to have just escaped from the thunder and lightning rain clouds, their ears were buzzing, and no other sound could be heard for a long time.

In the face of the demonstration of the Song army, the Jin army was unmoved, although two generals died, but it had little impact on the morale of the Jin army, after all, before the appearance of the "Qilin Immortal", they had not been defeated by the Song army in the face-to-face confrontation.

"The Song people are desperate this time." Wanyan Yinshu can ride a horse to Wanyan Zonghan's side, "This is the last main force of the Song Kingdom, the elite of the infantry and cavalry are all gathered here, as long as they are annihilated, the Song Kingdom will have no more available soldiers, and Tokyo City can be drummed down." ”

Wanyan Zonghan nodded expressionlessly and looked at the sky.

"The demon and the second banshee have never appeared." Wanyan Yinshu can know what Wanyan Zonghan is worried about, "It is said that he was injured by the wolf demon, maybe the injury was very serious, and there is no recovery. ”

"Maybe." Wanyan Zonghan said, retracted his gaze, and turned to the Song army in front of him.

At this time, another horse came over, "Your Highness, under the Second Highness, the Second Highness let the Second Highness tell His Highness, the Iron Harrier cavalry of the Second Highness is a total of 24,000, and it is already in place, as long as His Highness engages with the Song army, His Royal Highness will lead the Iron Harrier cavalry to attack the flank of the Song army, please let His Highness know." ”

Wanyan Zonghan nodded, "Tell him to be careful." He said lightly.

The cavalry who summoned the message turned his horse's head and left, and Wanyan Zonghan waved his hand to Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Yinshuke beside him, and the two of them understood, and each rode back to his own formation.

After Yan Zonghan ordered the attack, the war drums of the Jin army suddenly sounded, and the Jin army's large array began to move slowly towards the Song army.

At this time, Gao Zhong and Yang Huaixian had already returned to their own formation, and when they saw the Jin army moving forward, the war drums of the Song army also sounded at the same time, and the military formation also slowly moved forward.

Wanyan Zonghan stared at Song Jun, and Sun Hui and the others still did not show up at this time.

The cavalry of the Jin Army began to let go of their horses to attack, Di Feng looked coldly at the crowd surging in front of him, took out the family heirloom bronze ghost mask, put it on his face, and then slowly pulled out the dragon double hammer on his waist.

Behind him, the Song Army's foot soldiers also showed their long knives at the same time, and the whispers of thousands of long knives unsheathed formed a long one.

A large group of Jin cavalry rushed over, their formation was perfect, the forward was as flat as a straight line, and thousands of war horses were no more than half a horse's body in front and behind. Although the cavalry of the Jin army launched an attack, the people who rushed to the front did not show their swords like the foot soldiers of the Song army, but picked up the hard bow and drew the arrows.

Among the Song army, the archers of the brigade raised their divine arm bows in unison.
