Sun Hui knew that although his "divine power" was a guarantee for the current Song army to achieve victory, the Song army could not rely on him alone to win, and it was necessary to improve its own combat effectiveness in order to effectively resist foreign aggression.

People must help themselves, and the day after tomorrow will help them, which is also what he often emphasized to Zhao Ji and the ministers of the Song Dynasty.

Sun Hui also agreed with the method of annihilating the Jin army in the field battle outside the city, but for the siege of the city, he suggested that corresponding preparations should be made, and put forward a plan to capture the city and seize the grain and grass of the Jin army at the same time.

There are practical reasons why he is obsessed with seizing the grain and grass of the Jin army, because the Hebei and Hedong regions have been torn apart by the war, and have been looted by the Jin army, and the Yanyun area has also been damaged by the Jin army, if he can defeat the Jin army this time and take advantage of the situation to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, the logistics supply is very important, if he only relies on the supply from Tokyo, it may not be able to slow down, and the resumption of production after the war is also a big problem, so seizing the granary of the Jin army is a very important step.

And seizing the granary and preventing the Jin army from destroying it is a difficult task, so naturally it can only be carried out by him, Ye Chuchu, and Hu Liying.

At this military meeting, Sun Hui emphatically reminded everyone that it was necessary to pay attention to the newly equipped firearms of the Jin army - the "Shocking Thunder" (the name he guessed based on the records in the history books and what Hu Liying had seen) and the bamboo muskets, which were on par with the power of the Song army's "thunderbolt cannons".

After perfecting all the combat links, Sun Hui already had reason to believe that this battle would be won and Taiyuan would be restored.

Seven days later, the Song army reached the outskirts of Taiyuan.

In the face of 50,000 Song troops, the 160,000 Jin troops in Taiyuan City defended the city with part of their forces as expected by the Song generals, and the main force was led by Emperor Jin himself and went out of the city to meet the battle.

Wanyan Zonghan rode a horse and stood on a small hill, looking at the neat lineup of the Song army, somehow, he felt an unprecedented oppression.

And it's not because this time he is fighting under the banner of the Golden Emperor.

Fearing that Sun Hui would assassinate Emperor Jin, Wanyan Yinshu suggested that Emperor Jin Wanyan Wu begmai hide his whereabouts, usually substitute as a substitute, and hand over the army to Wanyan Zonghan, commanded in the name of Emperor Jin, Wanyan Wu Qimai agreed, and handed over all the elite soldiers under his command to Wanyan Zonghan.

After learning that the Song army only had 50,000 people to attack, Wanyan Zonghan had planned to hold on to the city, and launched a counterattack after the veteran soldiers of the Song army were tired, but his younger brother Wanyan Zongwang and most of the generals advocated going to war and annihilating the Song army with superior forces, Wanyan Zonghan pointed out the threat of Sun Hui, and Wanyan Zongwang thought that the Jin army now had firearms, and it had become easy to kill Sun Hui and his accomplices.

At this time, the Jin army had completed the formation under the command of Wanyan Zonghan, and he looked at the Song army on the opposite side and found that the Song army also discharged a similar formation as the Jin army, but the cavalry of the Song army was obviously much less than that of the Jin army - almost 40,000 of the 50,000 Song troops were foot soldiers, and only about 10,000 were cavalry.

If it had been before, he would probably have immediately ordered the cavalry of the Jin Army to attack, but now he hesitated.

Instinct told him that it might not be that simple.

Sun Hui and the two "banshees" (he had already heard the news of the "wolf demon incident" that happened in the capital of Song Kingdom), did not show up.

At this time, what he was most afraid of was Sun Hui's appearance.

The Jin army's field battle is all cavalry, and this time the elite of his army is the "Iron Harrier" cavalry brought by Wanyan Wu begging, if Sun Hui suddenly appeared to launch a fire attack when the Jin cavalry launched an attack, and the foot soldiers did not have time to launch the bamboo musket, then the main cavalry of the Jin army would suffer great losses, and the battle would be lost.

And this battle is absolutely impossible for him to lose.

He waited for a while, but Sun Hui and the two banshees still didn't appear.

At this time, a young white-robed general rushed out of the Song army's formation, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted at the Jin army on the opposite side to challenge.

The duel of generals was popular throughout the Middle Ages in China, experienced the fusion of Hu and Han during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and became a prelude to the battle in the horse-producing areas of North China in the Tang Dynasty. From the two sides facing each other, then making invitations and encounters, and then developing to the joint battle of each other's armies, it can be said that it is a set of combat steps that will be firmly guarded by the commanders, and the combat etiquette of the warriors will be pushed to the peak. By the time the Song Dynasty became popular, the means of fighting among the cavalry generals were also more diversified, or using bows and arrows to do medium-distance shooting, or using spears and clubs to do close-range charges, and preparing short blades to bury themselves in fighting at any time, and the commander sat in the battle to watch the battle, in addition to measuring the success or failure of the war, he could also use this to examine the bravery and talents of his subordinates, and the martial meaning of fighting and entertainment.

"I am the favorite of the Song general! Does anyone on the other side dare to fight me? The high pet jumped forward and shouted.

"Song Guo'er is rampant, look at me Modri to clean you up!" A black-armored general in the Jin army array rode out, holding a huge mace, and rushed straight towards Gao Chong.

The high-quality flat-ended red-tasseled spear rushed towards him.

Di Feng in the Song army formation watched the other party wielding a mace, obviously with great strength, and couldn't help but worry about Gao Pet.

Gao Pet let the horse gallop, and just as he was about to get close to his opponent, the opponent was about to smash it with a mace, Gao Pet violently turned the spear into a lift with one hand and threw it straight at the opponent.

The spear roared and flew in, and the bright tip of the spear shone brightly in the sunlight, and flew straight towards the chest of the black-armored golden general.

The black-armored golden general named Modri was also very skilled, and in the hurry, the general leaned back, and swept the mace in his hand with all his might, hitting the body of the gun, Rao was like this, and the spear could fly by his side, bringing a large piece of armor under his ribs.

Jin Jiang was tall, and such a violent movement made him unable to sit in the saddle and fell off the horse, and the tall pet pounced on the horse like lightning.

I saw Gao Zhong jump on the horse's back and pull out the bamboo iron whip on his waist at the same time, jump up from the horse's back suddenly, shout, raise the whip with both hands, and smash it down fiercely towards the golden general.

Jin Jiang also shouted fiercely, his hands crossed the mace to block, Gao Pet whipped on the mace's rod, the rod broke, the iron whip castration was not over, and the heart guard of the Jin General, the copper heart guard became a piece under the whip of Gao Pet, and it flew in all directions.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of the mouth of the golden general, and the figure was still unfalling, he sat up and struggled to swing the first half of the broken mace and smashed it at Gao Pet, Gao Pet flashed his body, and then dodged the blow, Jin Jiang waved the mace backhand and swept back, Gao Pet did not dodge this time, but waved the iron whip to meet it.
