After Zong Bi took Jinan, he didn't stop at all, and only handed over the task of robbery and massacre to Wan Yanchang, and he himself led all the Jurchen iron cavalry, as well as Han Chang's 100,000 Han army, and rushed straight to Ying Tianfu like a whirlwind and clouds.

Zong Bi is arrogant, in his opinion, although there are many heroes in the Central Plains, none of them are his opponents. Along the way, the army of more than 100,000 people was indeed like a bamboo, going down to Tai'an, capturing Qufu, taking Yanzhou, and occupying Jining, but in ten days, it was more than 600 miles away. Dozens of rebel troops on the east and west roads of Beijing were defeated by him one after another, and they almost did not even achieve the purpose of hindering speed.

It is precisely because of this wind-like speed that many cities simply have no time to resist. In the surrendered city, Zongbi will leave thousands of Han troops to garrison. When they arrived at Dongping Mansion, there were not a single less of 50,000 female iron horsemen, but there were only more than 40,000 people left in the 100,000 Han'er army. However, these 40,000 Han soldiers are all elite and good at fighting, and their combat power is not much different from that of the Jurchen soldiers.

It was also in Dongping Mansion that Zong Bi met the first army of the people, the 5,000 cavalry led by Lao Meng'an.

Facing the pale-haired old Meng An, Zong Bi felt that there was no need for him to fight. Such an old horseman was defeated by his own hands, and he also insulted the name of the first warrior of Dajin. So Zong Bi ordered Han Chang to attack. Han Chang also thinks that fighting with Meng An is an insult to his reputation as the second warrior of Dajin. Therefore, he also sent a Han'er army named Zheng Qianshou to face Meng An.

The outcome of the battle left both Zong Bi and Han Chang dumbfounded. The white-haired old Meng An jumped on his horse and raised his sword, and with just one move, he beheaded Zheng Qianshou under the horse. Thousands of Han'er troops were killed.

Han Chang was furious and personally led 5,000 Han troops to meet Meng An. Although Meng An was brave, he was not Han Chang's opponent, and after a hard day, he finally retreated to Shanzhou. Only 3,000 people remained in the 5,000-person cavalry army, but Han Chang's cavalry also lost more than 1,000 men.

Meng An's combat power finally made Zong Bi calm down, and he no longer regarded the Protector Army as a vulnerable rabble. As soon as Meng An retreated, the Jin soldiers rushed straight to Caozhou.

Outside Caozhou City, a big battle made Zong Bi see the power of the Protector Army again. Master Zhihun arranged a glaive array with 20,000 infantry troops, lined up above the plains, and let Kou Cheng lead a newly reorganized 10,000 cavalry troops to spread on both wings.

Zong Bi asked Han Chang to lead 10,000 Han'er troops to attack the infantry of the Protector Army, let Wanhu Charal lead 10,000 iron cavalry to attack the left wing cavalry of the Protector Army, and let Wanhu Menglie lead 10,000 iron cavalry to attack the right wing of the Protector Army.

30,000 Jin soldiers and 30,000 Protector Army started a bloody battle outside Caozhou City. The two sides fought from morning to afternoon, and there was no winner or loser. At this time, Zong Bi led 3,000 heavy armored cavalry and carved into the infantry of the Protector Army from the middle road.

The heavily armored cavalry, also known as the Iron Floating Massacre, was one of the strongest cavalry in the Jin Army, on a par with the Flying Tiger Army. But when it really charged, it was even more terrifying than the Flying Tiger Army. Because the Flying Tiger Army only relies on strong martial arts, and the heavy cavalry relies on the thick iron armor that is invulnerable.

With its powerful impact, it only took half an hour for the heavy cavalry to cut through the infantry phalanx of the Protector Army. When the killing was at its most intense, Wanyan Zongbi threw away his helmet and took off his armor.

He was naked, bald, covered in blood, like a killing god who came out of the forest, holding a big axe, shouting wildly, and everywhere he went, the Protectors were invincible.

However, the tenacity of the Protector Army also surpassed Zong Bi's imagination. Even though he chiseled through the infantry phalanx three times, he still failed to break away the protectors.

In order to block the impact of Wanyan Zongbi, Wei Chen and Ma Liang led ten of the most elite personal soldiers to besiege and kill Zong Bi, but they all died under Zong Bi's axe. In the end, Master Zhihun personally went out, but he still couldn't stop the fierce and vicious Zongbi.

After struggling to support until the evening, Han Chang's Han Er army made a breakthrough first. Han Chang picked Kou Cheng with one shot, which made the Protector Army feel devastated. Kou Cheng is in the Zhihun Army, just like Jiao Wentong is in the Third Division, he is the god of fighting in the hearts of soldiers. In particular, the Beiwei cavalry was trained by Kou Cheng. But this time, he met Han Chang.

Kou Cheng led the most elite cavalry to attack the Han'er army, precisely to make a breakthrough from the Han'er army, so as to repel Zongbi's army. But he didn't know that the combat power of the Han'er army led by Han Chang was no less than that of the Jurchen elite. And Han Chang's martial arts are not something that Kou Cheng can stand by.

No matter how hard Kou Cheng tried, he couldn't make up for the gap in strength. Finally, after fighting for more than a dozen rounds, he was stabbed in the stomach by Han Chang.

But Kou Cheng's life is not so easy to want. He was shot in the abdomen, knowing that he was going to die, so he pounced forward with the big gun in his abdomen, and the big knife in his hand slashed directly at Han Chang's head, trying to die with Han Chang.

Han Chang didn't expect Kou Cheng to be so brave, and his face immediately changed greatly. Immediately threw the big gun in his hand out, Kou Cheng's body was strung on the big gun, and he flew out immediately.

But the moment he flew out, the big knife in Kou Cheng's hand was also thrown out, "Golden Dog looks at the knife." ”

Han Chang was helpless, and flashed his head. But he flashed the blade, but not the edge. The hook-like tip of the knife slashed across Han Chang's left eye. Han Chang only felt that his eyes were dark, and his left eye had been hooked out by a big knife.

"Ahh

Han Chang's screams almost resounded across the battlefield. For a moment, all the soldiers turned their heads to this side. I saw that Han Chang's face was bloody, and there was only a bloody hole left in his left eye.

Zong Bi also saw the fight between Han Chang and Kou Cheng, and couldn't help but gasp. He understands Han Chang's martial arts too well, and he can be said to be the enemy of ten thousand people. After fighting with Zong Bi for several years, Han Chang had to fight first, but he was not injured at all.

Unexpectedly, in the battle with the Protector Army today, he became a one-eyed Han Chang.

Han Chang does belong to the kind of fierce man who is a warrior of Xia Houdun, although he did not say such a bold statement as "the blood of father and mother, how can you abandon it", but he became as brave as Xia Houdun. He pulled the big gun out of Kou Cheng's corpse and continued to charge and kill.

The Protectors finally collapsed under this lunatic-like attack. In order to let the chaotic Protector Army return to Caozhou City, Kou Cheng's newly trained 800 Beiwei New Army resolutely retreated to the palace and blocked the impact of tens of thousands of golden soldiers.

By the time the Protector Army retreated to Caozhou City, there were only 130 people left in the 800 Beiwei New Army.

Because the battle on this day was too fierce. Although nearly 8,000 people were killed by the Protectors, the losses of the Jin soldiers also reached 5,000 people. What made Zong Bi even more distressed was that all the losses were elite cavalry. The defeated Jin soldiers were also exhausted, so Zong Bi decided that the army would rest under Caozhou City for two days. Anyway, the sky should be empty, and there are no elite soldiers guarding it at all.

What Wanyan Zongbi never expected was that the two days he rested under Caozhou City decided the outcome of the entire battle. Five years later, Wanyan Zongbi, who was defeated and destitute, sighed more than once, if he didn't rest for two days, he might get rid of those two old madmen. If he hadn't been entangled by two old madmen, maybe he would have been able to break through the Caozhou defense line and enter Yingtianfu, which was only defended by the militia division, before Wang Gui's army crossed the river.

In fact, it is not to blame Yan Zongbi for relaxing, at this moment, the balance of victory has completely tilted in favor of the Jin army. After the defeat of Caozhou's Protector Army, they were unable to go out of the city to fight in the field. This means that the door to Ying Tianfu has been opened.

Yue Feiyuan was in the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhang Xian was in Mengzhou, Wang Gui was in Kaide Mansion, Yue Tuo was in Chenzhou, and the huge Yingtianfu was undefended at all. As for the Ying Tianfu militia division, which was said to have 100,000 people, Zong Bi didn't pay attention to it at all. He understands that it is actually a rabble such as the militia and the Xiangyong, and they are not vulnerable at all.

But Zong Bi forgot about the old Meng An who was defeated by him. He rested under Caozhou City for two days, and was about to attack Yingtianfu, but Lao Meng An took a freshly baked army of 10,000 to bite Zong Bi's rear army again.

With an army of 10,000, 5,000 cavalry, and 5,000 infantry, the combat power is even stronger than before. Because this is not a rabble, this is the anti-gold warriors carefully trained by Xinzan in Shanzhou.

Xin Zan, a native of Licheng County, Jinan Prefecture, was originally a scholar, because of repeated failures, he abandoned literature and martial arts, and was good at using a big sword. When the Jin State invaded the Song Dynasty, Xin Zan served as the county lieutenant of Shanzhou. During the Jingkang Rebellion, the county magistrate absconded with Yin. Xin Zan single-handedly supports the overall situation of Shanzhou. As a county lieutenant, he summoned 7,000 villagers to train day and night.

When the Protector Army rose in Yingtian, Xin Zan also thought about taking refuge in Yue Fei. But in the end, the idea of loyalty prevailed. He still pinned his hopes for resisting Jin on Liu Yu, an important minister of the imperial court, the prefect of Jinan.

When the news of Liu Yu's gold cut reached Xin Zan's ears, Xin Zan immediately knew that something was wrong. Immediately contacted Meng An of the garrison Dongping Mansion. This is also the reason why Meng An led his army to retreat to Shanxian after being defeated by Zong Bi.

When Meng An arrived in Shanxian County, he found that Xin Zan's 7,000 Minzhuang combat strength was very impressive, and immediately clapped his hands and shouted, "Brother Xinzan, you really have you, and you have trained Minzhuang to be so strong!" ”

Xin Zan is in his fifties and has no opinion on Meng An calling his brother. On the contrary, he particularly admired Meng An, who was nearly seventy years old, gray-haired, still facing the Jin army head-on, and was no less brave than Huang Zhong, the old man of the Three Kingdoms.

Meng An turned his head and asked a little uncertainly, "Brother Xinzan, are you willing to help me protect the people's army?" ”

Xin Zan immediately replied, "I, the seven thousand people, are no different from a rabble in front of Brother Meng's cavalry. Why did Brother Meng say this? ”

Meng An looked at Xin Zan and found that Xin Zan's eyes were blazing, his face was upright, and he really looked like a hero. I decided to tell the truth to Sinzan. "To tell you the truth, Brother Xin, we are facing a catastrophe now. Yue Shuai was leading his troops outside at the moment, and he was confronting Zong Han's hundreds of thousands of troops. Ying Tianfu is extremely empty. I couldn't stop the golden dog in Dongping Mansion. Now there is only one line of defense for Master Zhihun in Caozhou. However, although Master Zhihun has 30,000 soldiers and horses, except for Kou Cheng's Beiwei army, most of the others are Han'er troops, and their combat effectiveness and will are unknown. If Master Zhihun is defeated, Ying Tianfu will really have no strength to resist the Jin soldiers. Therefore, I want to borrow the 7,000 soldiers and horses of Brother Xin to bite Wanyan Zongbi from behind, so that he will not dare to attack my Ying Tianfu with all his strength. ”

After hearing this, Xin Zan suddenly laughed.

Meng An thought that Xin Zan did not agree to borrow his troops, so he immediately said with a cold face, "If Brother Xin is unwilling to lend me the well-trained Minzhuang, to put it bluntly, why laugh at me?" ”

Xin Zan stopped laughing and said extremely excitedly, "Brother Meng, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to lend you to make the people strong. I'm glad for my people. I trained them for more than half a year to resist the Jin soldiers. Now that it's finally useful, why don't you make me laugh. ”

Only then did Meng An understand Xin Zan's thoughts, and immediately laughed and said, "In this case, Old Meng An is here to thank Brother Xin Gao Yi." Wait for Yue Shuai to turn around, and then recommend Brother Xin's benevolence and righteousness to Yue Shuai. ”

Xin Zan's face sank, and he said a little unhappily, "Brother Meng, what do you mean?" Do you want to go and fight the golden dog yourself? If you don't take me, I won't let you take away 7,000 people. Xin is fifty-two years old this year, and he has been working hard for half a year, but he also makes the big sword and rides an inferior horse. The golden chief is arrogant and regards my Song people like pigs and dogs. Brother Meng should be strong and strong, how dare Xin call himself the queen! ”

Meng An stroked his long beard and said arrogantly, "Okay! Let the golden dog see how powerful we are. ”
