From Fuli County to Xuzhou about 120 miles, 20,000 cavalry only need to run one night on the official road, can be reached at dawn, this area belongs to the flat terrain of the Huanghuai Plain, very conducive to cavalry combat, and the official road on both sides is an endless wheat field, the wheat is about to ripen, the breeze blows, a burst of wheat waves rolling.

At the fourth watch, 20,000 cavalry finally entered the boundary of Xuzhou, and the hills began to increase, and a stretching mountain in the distance was the Jiuli Mountain in Xuzhou, not only the hills increased, but the woods also increased.

At this time, 20,000 cavalry has galloped into a gentle valley, the valley is about three miles long, there is a hill on each side, the official road runs through the valley, because the hills on both sides are very low, a large pine forest is like a wave rising steadily, so this kind of terrain is also called a hill valley, relatively gentle, but it is the easiest to hide the murderous opportunity.

It is less than thirty miles away from Pengcheng County, Xuzhou Prefecture, and Ali is so anxious that he repeatedly orders to speed up, and 20,000 cavalry rushed into the valley at a gallop, and the Jurchen cavalry rushed in front.

Just when the cavalry in front had not yet rushed out of the valley, the sound of bangs suddenly sounded in the woods, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and dense arrows shot at the cavalry in the valley like a storm.

The cavalry suddenly turned over on their backs, and the screams were endless, and Ali's war horse was hit by four arrows and fell to the ground, and Ali suddenly smelled the strong smell of fire oil, and shouted in a hurry: "Leave the official road quickly, leave quickly!" ”

But the arrows were just the beginning of fear, as hundreds of rockets were fired into the official road, the fire oil buried under the official road began to burn, and then a series of earth-shattering explosions sounded on the official road, and a hundred earth-shattering thunderbolts continued to explode on the official road, flesh and blood flew sideways, war horses neighed, soldiers were blown up into the sky, and thick smoke covered the entire canyon.

Of the 6,000 golden soldiers who were crowded in the canyon, except for more than 300 people who escaped from the front, the remaining 5,600 or more than 5,600 people either died under the random arrows, or died in the explosions and flames, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

The 10,000 crossbowmen who were lying in ambush on both sides lay deep in the ground, and when the explosion was over, they immediately withdrew, and the woods were ignited by the scattered sparks and began to burn.

More than 14,000 cavalry behind were startled by the neighing of their horses, and they turned around one after another, but a group of 5,000 heavy armored infantry was on the official road, blocking the retreat of the Jin cavalry. ”

A thousand cavalry suddenly accelerated, trying to rush away the heavy infantry, but they were greeted by a dense and impermeable sword of cutting horses, the cavalry could not retreat, and they crashed into it, and the horses and soldiers all let out a terrible scream, impacting the body of more than 300 centaurs in the front who were instantly pierced, and died on the spot.

The heavy infantry advanced like an impregnable wall, and the cavalry corpses were strewn all over the place, and they were unstoppable, killing the golden soldiers one after another.

At this time, the crossbow arrows of the Song army in the back shot like a storm, and the soldiers fell to the ground one by one, in front of the heavy armored infantry like an iron wall, and behind was the arrow of the king of Hades.

Generally speaking, the golden soldiers will try to avoid fighting in the wheat field, the sharp wheat straw will pierce the horse's shoe, and the wheat field is waist-deep, there are too many hidden dangers, and the resistance is very large, the war horse can not gallop, Wang Gui deployed 20,000 pikemen in the wheat field, they are ambushed in the wheat field, elusive, the golden soldiers are a little careless, a sharp spear will suddenly pierce out, the cavalry on the horse will be pierced.

Or a shot pierced the horse's stomach, causing the horse to fall in a scream, and the horsemen on the horse fell with it, but could not get up again.

The Jin soldiers mainly fled from the east, and the west was not easy to walk, only more than 3,000 people chose the west, while more than 10,000 cavalry fled for their lives in the wheat fields that were more than ten miles long in the east, and in the dark, the cavalry could not see the soldiers hidden in the wheat fields.

I saw that they kept screaming and falling, and more and more cavalrymen were killed, and when the cavalry ran out of more than ten miles, and finally walked out of the wheat field, there were less than 5,000 of the more than 10,000 people left, and more than half of the dead and wounded had already been killed.

At this time, all the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom froze, and on the opposite side and on both sides, 30,000 cavalry formed a large formation of three cavalry, and surrounded them in a zigzag shape.

Li Yanqing coldly ordered: "Kill!" ”

"Woo-" The horn sounded, and the 30,000 cavalry horses galloped, murderous, rushing towards the 5,000 cavalry from three directions, waiting for the golden soldiers, there was only one ending: the whole army was annihilated.

As the day gradually dawned, this wheat field and hill valley called Dalongpu finally revealed its true face, the five-mile-long official road was full of the corpses of Jin soldiers, and piles of corpses that had been blown beyond recognition, and the hills to the west of the valley were also half burned by the fire, and the entire hillside was pitch black and miserable.

At this time, Wang Guiben stepped forward and reported to Li Yanqing with his fists, "Qiyu Dushuai, the count has been completed, about 18,000 enemy soldiers were killed, there were no enemy prisoners of war, 9,300 war horses were captured, and about 1,000 enemy troops escaped, mainly from the north and west. ”

"How many casualties have we suffered?"

"The casualties were seven hundred and forty, mainly cavalry."

Li Yanqing nodded, this should be the casualty of the last war, the casualties are not small, but they are also within the normal range.

Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "Dispose of the corpse, and the army will march towards Pengcheng County!" ”

．．．．．．

At this time, there were only more than 2,000 defenders in Pengcheng County, in addition to the original 1,000 Han soldiers, there were 1,200 Jin soldiers who fled back, poor Li Zhao, the main general in the city, after opening the door and putting in the Jin soldiers, he was slaughtered by the commander of the Jin soldiers, and he was a fool when he died, and he didn't know why he was killed?

The commander of the thousand is called sticky, he is anxious, as soon as the day dawns, he will send a pigeon letter to Yanshan Mansion, to Wanyan Xian also ask for help, this is also the news of the Jin soldiers is relatively closed, Wanyan Zonggan led the army to cross the Yellow River to Yunzhou, the Jin soldiers of Xuzhou did not know, otherwise this thousand gold soldiers will definitely go directly to Yunzhou, and will not stay in Xuzhou and wait for death.

At noon, 100,000 Song troops arrived at the city of Xuzhou, Li Yanqing looked at the city from afar, saw that the troops at the head of the city were sparse, he sneered, turned back to Wang Gui and said: "Block the three gates, let go of the north gate!" ”

"Obey!"

Wang Gui immediately rushed to arrange the army, and Li Yanqing said to Cao Meng again: "You can lead 10,000 cavalry to intercept five miles north of Xuzhou City, and when the Jin soldiers escape from Beicheng, you are not allowed to let any of them go!" ”

Cao Meng saluted, "Obey the order!" ”

Cao Meng led 10,000 cavalry to make a detour to the north, and after a while, Wang Gui sent someone to report, "The city gates on three sides have been garrisoned!" ”

Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "Order the grenadiers to go up and blow up the south city gate for me!" ”

In a moment, three hundred soldiers formed a shield wall with shields, escorting two grenadiers to slowly walk towards the city gate, the south gate is made of thick wood, and the middle is tied with an iron ring, except for the strategic cities such as Bianliang and Daimyofu, which will use cast iron to cast the city, the rest of the city gates are of this structure.

In addition, there is a suspension bridge in front of the south city gate, the suspension bridge head is about two zhang from the ground, although the suspension bridge can be cast to resist the enemy's attack on the city gate, but it can create another convenience for the earth-shaking thunder, that is, the potential energy that rolls down from a high place, which is the side of advantages and disadvantages.

In a moment, three hundred soldiers escorted the grenadiers to the drawbridge, they were already within the range of a hundred paces, and hundreds of soldiers on the city immediately rained arrows, and a dense number of arrows were fired at three hundred soldiers, but the arrows were meaningless, and the strong shield wall blocked the arrows.

Two soldiers held a large winter melon-like earth-shattering thunderbolt, another soldier lit the fire rope, and the two soldiers shouted, "One, two, three!" ”

The two of them exerted their strength at the same time, and the earth-shaking thunder was gently thrown up three feet high, "Knock! With a bang, they fell heavily on the drawbridge, and their bones rolled towards the city gate, and the three hundred soldiers immediately retreated, and they ran with their shields, and soon ran a hundred paces away, when they quickly lay on the ground, covered their heads and bodies, and covered their ears tightly.

The earth-shattering thunder rolled to the city gate, knocked lightly on the door and stopped, only for a moment, only to hear an earth-shattering explosion, the earth was shaking, the city was shaking, wood chips were splashing, and thick smoke filled the city gate.

After a long time, the smoke disappeared, the south gate had already become a mess, the drawbridge was blown off, half of the drawbridge floated on the moat, most of the city gate was blown off, only a little edge was left hanging on the city gate, and the city bricks on both sides were also blown to pieces, but they did not collapse, barely supporting the city wall and the city tower.

But the soldiers at the head of the city disappeared, and they were either shocked to death or stunned, so close that the ears were not blocked, and the sound of the explosion alone could deaf both ears.

The city gate was opened, and Li Yanqing immediately shouted: "The cavalry will enter the city and protect the warehouse!" ”

Immediately, 5,000 cavalry rushed towards the city gate under the leadership of Gao Chong, and the previous 300 soldiers had already built five planks on the moat to form an improvised bridge, and rushed into the city first, and 5,000 cavalry rushed across the wooden bridge and rushed into the city gate. Run directly to the warehouse near the southern city to protect the warehouse.

This is also the reason why Li Yanqing sent an offensive in the south of the city, he must protect the warehouse in the south of the city as soon as possible, otherwise Jin Bing will directly throw a spark on the haystack, and he will really want to cry without tears.

In fact, Li Yanqing also sought a little more stability in the layout of the war against Xuzhou, he could take Xuzhou in advance, and perhaps send another army to ambush a few miles south of Xuzhou to intercept the fleeing Jin soldiers.

But Li Yanqing gave up this plan, and there was a great risk in doing so, because it was too close to the city, and it was easy to be discovered by the enemy patrol, and once they notified the Jin soldiers who went north, they would have lost their efforts, so Li Yanqing chose the latter in order to ensure the success of the plan to destroy the enemy.

However, Li Yanqing did not encircle the north gate, just to prevent the Jin soldiers from despair, and the jade was burned, leaving them a glimmer of hope, also in order to keep the granary.

The result was not unexpected, after the Song army entered the city, 1,200 Jin cavalry quickly opened the northern city and fled, leaving Xuzhou City, and the remaining Han soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
