After the soldiers continued to suffer from the sneak attacks of the Song army and the soldiers' energy was greatly consumed, Wanyan Lou Room pondered and meditated and did not think of an effective solution, his strategy was to fight steadily, step by step, concentrate the main forces to occupy the Song army's city, control the Song army's population and materials, and ensure that the rear of the army was absolutely stable, but now, this tactic of the Song army seems to be specifically towards his tactics.

The tactics of the Song army are extremely strange, with the help of the mountainous terrain here, the Song army is scattered into many small troops, hidden in the mountains and forests, specifically looking for the gaps of the Jin army to come out of the sneak attack, once found that it is not soft, and never love to fight, run after the fight, and do not care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, the main force of the Jin army has just arrived under the city and the Song army to fight for only one day, the Song army will retreat at night, the Jin army rushed into the city, but only found an empty city......

What about the population? What about supplies? What about money? What about slaves?

It seems that since Taiyuan went south, the Jin army has not gotten anything, but it has been wasting out, and the military food has been unable to support the signs of going down, Lou Mu is keenly aware of it, but he can't get the supplies he needs from any city controlled by the Song army, he can only ask for help from the country, asking for more grain, grass and materials.

This is too weird, he didn't expect the Song army to make so many war preparations, and it was a tactical tactic specifically aimed at him, there was no room for relaxation at all, sneak attack during the day, sneak attack at night, the bulky large army of the Jin army not only did not pose a threat to the Song army, but their proud elite cavalry was limited by the terrain and could not play a powerful effect, plus the gunpowder bullets used by the Song army caused the panic of the war horses to run wildly. In a sneak attack, the Jin soldiers who died under the hands of the Song army were less than one-third of the Jin soldiers who died under the hooves of the horses!

Annoyed, Lou Mur began to order the ears of the war horses to be plugged in order to reduce the attack of the Song army's gunpowder shells, but in an instant, the Song army began to use a firearm called an incendiary canister. The strange jar that lit the fire fell in front of Jin Jun, and suddenly the fireball burst open, instantly making Jin Jun burn the ghost crying wolf, and what is even more strange is that this kind of fire can't be extinguished with water! If it weren't for a traitor who said that this was fueled by oil, so the fire could only be extinguished with sand, the Song army could almost use incendiary cans to repel the Jin army.

The endless new tactics and the strategy of refusing a head-on decisive battle gave the Song army the upper hand, while the Jin army led by Lou Mu was constantly attacked, sneak attacked, and attacked by night. So that later, the Jin army walked and walked, there were many soldiers who fell asleep and could not wake up, Lou Room was anxious, but the more anxious the more there was no way, it could only have the opposite effect, making the Jin army more impetuous, once the Song army found the city, it would not be fatal to attack, but only got an empty city, and the marching speed was greatly slowed down. It was expected to arrive in Chang'an City in one month, but two-thirds of the journey has not been completed in two months.

Lou Room felt that if he continued like this, he would be dragged to death by the Song army. The emperor gave him two months' storage of military rations, which was almost the amount of the entire treasury of the Dajin Kingdom, but now this part of the grain has been almost consumed, and a lot of cities have been conquered, and a lot of land has been occupied, but the population and materials have not been obtained at all. All you get is an empty city! Empty city! Empty city!

Damn Song Jun! Cunning Yue Fei! What the hell are you doing! Do!

The Jin army was extremely unaccustomed to this method of warfare, and it was already difficult to deal with the sneak attack of the Song army every day, and it was not good to sleep at night, and it was not even good to eat, and it was hungry and unrefreshed. It made the Jin army extremely weak when dealing with the frontal attack of some thousand troops of the Song army, it was difficult to resist the fierce offensive of the Song army, and the main force of the Song army could not be found to fight a decisive battle, and the small army was not even worth pursuing, but it was such a small and repeated blow that made Wan Yan Lou room frightened.

In the statistics of war damage, he suddenly found that in less than two months, the number of soldiers killed had reached 28,000, the death of female soldiers reached 5,000, the loss of more than 30,000 war horses, and the loss of ordnance and materials was incalculable. There is no sharpness anymore.

They have all become frightened birds, once there is any wind and grass, it is the whole army is shocked, Lou Room did not think about a detour to march, looking for a road without mountains and forests to march to avoid the Song army's ambush circle, but as the Han staff officers around him were killed one after another, one after another were killed by arrows, he has lost the talent who is familiar with the local terrain, therefore, he suddenly realized that he fell into the Song army's serial plan from the beginning......

deliberately showed weakness, led the army to move into the ambush circle, and then there were endless and endless night raids and sneak attacks, without stopping without interruption, so that the Jin army could not rest and eat normally, so that the combat effectiveness plummeted, the nervous breakdown, and the slightest wind and grass became very nervous, and even Wanyan Lou Room personally beheaded two Jurchen soldiers who were waving knives into the air and shouting to kill the Song army - they were crazy.

He divided several detachments to march separately, trying to distract the attention of the Song army and play the role of covering the main force, but the detachment was either wiped out or beaten back, and in desperation, Lou Room could only order the army to gather together, so that the Song army did not dare to rashly fight with the main force, and at the same time left part of the army stationed in the city to help the army, and became a horn.

Gradually, Lou Room also felt that the military food came very untimely, and the grain transport army said that it would be good to be able to send the food, and they were constantly attacked by the Song army along the way, and everyone suffered heavy casualties, thank God if you have food to eat!

In the case of lack of military food, Lou Room could not get the supply of the Song army, so he could only order the army to hunt game in the mountains and forests to eat and satisfy hunger, and he also set an example to go into the mountains to hunt, so as to stimulate morale and strengthen everyone's belief in continuing, in fact, Lou Room did not think about withdrawing the army, but at this time it was already difficult to ride a tiger, if the army was withdrawn at this time, the Song army suddenly pursued with the main force of the army, then the army would only collapse faster, not to mention that Yan Wu had already given Lou Room a death order.

In desperation, Lou Murmur's choice is actually very clear, because he can only move forward, not backward, even if he takes everyone to the road of death, he has to go down, as long as he dies in battle, even if he is defeated, then the lives of his family can be saved, if he retreats, even if he saves this rare main force for Dakin, he will die miserably.

In addition to going down, Lou Room couldn't find any way.

He began to realize, he began to have an epiphany, he began to think, which master in the Song army set up such a situation, so that he couldn't even think of a way to fight back, and when he found the serial plan, he was already in a quagmire and couldn't extricate himself, who was it, is there really such a master in the Song army?

Of course, Wanyan Lou ignored one of the most important issues - the number of the main force of the Song army was already more than the Jin army!

In the past two months, under the planning of Yue Tuo, the Sixth Army in the Northwest has taken turns to go into battle, flanking sneak attacks, night attacks, surprise attacks, etc., burning grain, burning ordnance, burning horses, burning tents, and the army that has not fought with the Jin people has also pulled to the front line to fight with the Jin people, familiarize themselves with the combat effectiveness and tactics of the Jin people, and at the same time accumulate experience, and use the battlefield as a place for military training, so as to prepare for the decisive battle in the future.

The decisive battle is also in full swing preparations, the flank tactics and guerrilla tactics in front of the Song army bought enough time, although one city after another city was lost, but this was all the Song army voluntarily abandoned, not to mention that the army had evacuated all the residents before the war, leaving empty cities to the Jin army, the Jin army spent troops and ordnance materials in vain, only to get an empty city, which would cause a devastating blow to their already small material reserves.

The balance of war is slowly tilting in favor of the Song army.

On the battlefield of the East Road, Zong Ze led the army to be nailed to the south bank of the Yellow River, although there was already a position on the south bank of the Jin army that was attacked by the Jin army, but the Song army, which still had the initiative, had the ability to threaten the Jin army to drive the Jin army down the Yellow River at any time, and the position on the south bank was very important, and losing it meant that the Yellow River defense line was broken, so when the Yellow River defense was broken for the first time on the twenty-seventh day, Zong Xin personally led the army and the Jin army to conduct a tragic tug-of-war, and drove the Jin army off the Yellow River face to face with huge casualties and recovered the position. The integrity of the Yellow River defense line was protected.

In the subsequent battle, the position changed hands five times, completely became the meat grinder of the Yellow River battlefield, the losses of both sides in this together more than 8,000 soldiers and horses, the number of dead in the Song army has slowly risen to the point that Zong Ze can not accept, so after the sixth position was lost, the Song army did not choose to counterattack again, but retreated to the second line of defense, and the Jin army continued to engage in a tug-of-war, so at the end of November of the second year of Jingkang, when the weather was completely cold, the Yellow River defense line was broken, and the next day, the Yellow River froze.

The Yellow River defense line has lost its meaning of existence, but Zong Ze's resistance has not stopped, Zong Xin's counterattack has not stopped, Zhang Liang's roar has not stopped, and the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty has not been broken.

During this period, the Song army did kill more than 20,000 Jin troops, while their own losses were about 30,000, because Zhang Liang's 20,000 Yanyun troops joined, so that Zong Ze's current strength is not overstretched, and Emperor Zhao Huan also urgently dispatched 10,000 troops to complete the reorganization to the north to support, so that Zong Ze still has the confidence to engage in a tug-of-war with the Jin army on the side of the Yellow River to gain enough time.

At the end of the second year of Jingkang, the flames of war were burning on both sides of the Yellow River, and Zong Ze used his life as a guarantee to hold the barrier of the Great Song Dynasty, while to the west of him, another war was in full swing, where the fire of the heavenly furnace was burning.
