At the climax of the battle, Sosuke once again threw in a team of 10,000 men at the right time to break through the frozen river. The three dragoon brigades of the Tiger Wing Army defended a wide front that was several miles long, and they were inevitably a little stretched, and the cavalry of the Zhongshan Luzhou Army as a reserve team was put into battle under the leadership of Yue Fei.

Due to the concentration of a large number of troops on one side, the remaining troops on the left flank of the Song army struggled to support themselves under the fierce attack of the Jin army, and the casualties increased, and they were forced to retreat. Seeing this, Zhao Yong ordered the establishment of artillery positions on the high ground and deployed a large number of mortars to bombard the depth of the Jin army. Under the cover of artillery, the Tiger Wing Army finally defeated the Jin Army with an unusually ferocious charge, and the Jin Army failed to counterattack again due to lack of follow-up, and had to retreat to rest, and the Song Army finally stabilized the right flank battle after a hard battle.

At this time, the previous front of the Jin army had been disorganized under the blows of the Song army. Since the Jin Army reserves had been transferred to the right flank before the war, it was difficult for Sosuke to mobilize troops to reinforce the left flank in time. However, he is also a famous general, and he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he sends orders everywhere, hoping to rebuild a new line of defense. At the same time, Wanyan Xiyin, who had just led the rear army brigade to Zhuozhou, heard that a battle had begun in front of him, and hurriedly led his troops to march to reinforcements.

The remaining cavalry on the right flank of the Jin army led the reinforcements to the east, delaying the Song army's attack. These vanguard cavalry fought hard and delayed the Song offensive and temporarily stabilized the defensive line, but the temporary order led to a hasty movement of troops, and the reinforcements on the right flank were disorganized and exhausted. Under the constant artillery bombardment of the Song army, it was difficult for the Jin army to carry out an organized defense, and it was only after retreating to Jixian Town that it barely stabilized its position and established a support point with the help of this fortress. Temporarily blocked the offensive of the Song army.

As the sun approached dusk, it would be even more difficult to fight at night. The Song army on the right flank immediately launched a new round of attack, and the infantry army broke through the defensive line set up by the cavalry outside the town after the dragon general hussars broke through. Soon pounced, blew up the walled wall and broke into the town, the two sides fought fiercely in the town, and the resistance of the Jin army was extremely stubborn, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Narrow streets, disorganized houses, so that the two armies of the troops could not be deployed, crowded together, and the muskets of the Song army lost their effectiveness. Drawing his horizontal sword and fighting with the enemy in the sunset, in the blink of an eye, the corpses were everywhere, and the blood flowed like a river, and finally the infantry captured the city with the support of the dragoons who abandoned their horses and attacked on foot, completely crushing the left flank of the Jin army. But the Song army occupied the town, and the victory and defeat were still undecided on the battlefield.

When the Song army attacked the city, there were two reinforced cavalry of 10,000 people on the right flank of the Jin army that had not yet been put into battle, one of which was Tiefutu, the strongest combat power of the Jin army, and the other was the cavalry of the Han army. Wanyan Xiyin found that the left flank of the Song army was exposed and the Chinese army was empty. He planned to attack the artillery positions of the Song army on the high ground from the left flank and dealt a fatal blow to the Song army. While he asked Zong Fu to use the Chinese army to move forward to contain the Chinese army of the Song army, he ordered 20,000 troops to attack. However, due to the undulating terrain, they did not find the Song army reserves hidden behind. As soon as they approached the artillery position of the Song army, Long General killed the two hussar brigades on standby and attacked the flank of the Jin army, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

Two hussar brigades numbered only four thousand people. There was a huge disparity in the number of troops, and the dragon general commanded Xu Biao to go into battle in person. Lead the charge of the subordinate team. With the cavalry spear in his hand, the dragoon quickly broke the Jin army's Tiefutu front and broke into the enemy group. Lead troops back and forth to the conflict. The Jin army relied on the numerical advantage to make up for the weakness of combat effectiveness, and the hussars of the Song army lost their cavalry and could only fight the enemy with sabers and revolvers in formation to ensure that the left flank was not lost. The Song army, which was defending the left flank, also stood with the Jin army and the Han army, and they used machine guns and bead guns to block the attack of the enemy Han army with simple fortifications, and the battlefield was once again deadlocked.

At this time, Zhao Yong's side except for the personal guards had already pressed all the troops in their hands, and there were no more adjustable troops, and the Jin army also put all the troops into the battlefield. Fortunately, the tiger general who served as the rear guard rushed to the battlefield after sweeping away the remnants of the enemy, and the Song army finally gained the upper hand. After clearing the left flank of the Jin cavalry, they began to attack the rear of the Jin army. The battle lasted until dark, and the Jin army suffered heavy losses.

At this time, the battle situation was decided, and the battle became a one-sided massacre by the Song army, and the Jin army's infantry army, which had not yet collapsed, was cut down by the Song army one by one. The Jin army began to retreat under the cover of small counterattacks, and they tried to establish another defensive line, but the defensive line was crushed by the Song army before it could be formed. Under the pursuit of the Song army, a large number of Jin troops became prisoners, and the rest of the queen retreated, and even Zhuozhou City did not have time to enter, so they fled backwards, and the Zhuozhou defenders saw the defeat of the army, and they couldn't take care of it, so they put a fire in the city, and also fled, and the Song army took Fanyang City lightly...

In the peripheral battle of Zhuozhou, the Song army, under the command of Zhao Yong, took advantage of the terrain and successfully concentrated its strength on one wing to form a local advantage, and defeated the nine 10,000 troops invested by the Jin army in one fell swoop under the condition that the troops were at a disadvantage, including the complete defeat of the enemy's 20,000 troops, including the 30,000 troops including Tiefutu, in the pursuit, the three infantry troops of the Jin army were all scattered, the enemy army in Yanjing was annihilated by more than 30,000 people, more than 17,000 enemies were captured, 10,000 horses and weapons were piled up, and the Song army won a complete victory.

The Song army also lost more than 5,000 casualties in this battle, which can be said to be the largest loss since the formation of the army, which made Zhao Yong feel uneasy, and while reporting to Zong Ze, he also wrote a letter to the emperor asking for punishment and asking for punishment. However, when the good news was sent to Zhending Zongze, he was extremely excited, and some people in the court were dissatisfied with his dedication to Jin Yongbing.

After the war, he and Li Gang did not have a good time, some people impeached them for 'making border provocations, instigating the emperor to personally conquer, risking their lives, and harboring evil intentions', both of them were former ministers of the previous emperor, so let the two Alexander! If the war is defeated, whether the emperor is safe or not, both of them will have to take the blame and resign and serve as scapegoats for the emperor.

Now the first battle has been won, and the enemy has been annihilated, just to relieve the siege of the two of them. As for those casualties, how could there be immortals in the war, compared to the tens of thousands of casualties in the past, Zong Ze immediately reported the victory to the court, asked for a reward for meritorious service, and quickly sent officials into Yan to receive the lost territory!

The 'Blitzkrieg' was famous in the early days of World War II, and the German army used this method of warfare to sweep through most of Europe in less than half a year. In the concept of British and American researchers, blitzkrieg is a tactic of using armored forces as the decisive force, and after breaking through the enemy's battle line, regardless of the danger of exposing the flanks, to make a bold and rapid advance to the enemy's deep rear. Such a rapid advance will create a powerful psychological deterrent to the local camp, which will lead to the collapse of the entire front.

However, Zhao Ta agrees with the German army's own interpretation of blitzkrieg, believing that blitzkrieg is based on the traditional 'mobile warfare' and uses the means of in-depth encirclement to achieve the goal of annihilation. The means of this are that the armored forces should act decisively and break through in a cone to the enemy's deep rear, annihilate the enemy's main forces deployed in this area, and prevent their combat-capable troops from withdrawing to the deep area.

The German doctrine for the armoured forces set forth a standard form of warfare: clearly forming the focus, making breakthroughs where the enemy did not expect them, and closely integrating them with the air force. Attack, do not worry about exposing the flanks, detours and encircling the enemy. Tactically, the armored forces break through on the enemy's front, and then quickly make a far-reaching breakthrough behind the enemy's line, cutting off the enemy's line of communication and creating an encirclement situation; Then the infantry swept the enemy trapped in the encirclement.

These points out that the prerequisite for such a large-scale encirclement operation is the possession of fast-moving wings, that is to say, the use of two corps at the end to carry out the task of assault in depth, because although a single axis of assault can win considerable space in a short period of time and expel the enemy's resistance, it cannot cause the effect of total annihilation...

When Zhao Ta formulated the battle plan, he made it clear that the purpose of this battle was to 'capture Yanjing and annihilate the enemy', and to achieve this goal, it was necessary to cut off the internal and external contacts of the Jin army by surprise and encircle and annihilate it. This reminded him of the 'blitzkrieg' carried out by the German army that swept across Eurasia back then, and the terrain of Yanjing also met the prerequisites for blitzkrieg.

The terrain of Youyan area is complex, it is convenient to form a self-defense circle, but the west and south are all surrounded by the Great Song Dynasty, once the two passes of Yuguan and Juyong Pass are blocked, it will cut off the connection between it and the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, and the trend of catching turtles in the urn can be formed. However, the Jin State in the Youyan region has been operating for many years, and there are heavy troops stationed there, and it is not easy to divide and surround them, and once the war starts, the Jin army in the Liaodong region will not sit idly by, so only a quick battle, quickly occupy and control the Youyan region has become the first choice, and blitzkrieg has also become the most effective tactic.

Therefore, Zhao Ta formulated a combat plan according to the conditions of this era, but he did not dare to boast that he had created blitzkrieg tactics groundlessly, otherwise he would not have been laughed off by the 'descendants'. The use of the naval army to land in Yingzhou to achieve surprise, and then the use of light cavalry mobility to complete the capture of Pingzhou, Luanzhou, is now rapidly advancing to Yanjing, although the enemy is very few, but completed the cutting of the enemy's defense line, the formation of the most critical step of the battle to encircle the right flank.

Now the Hebei Army broke through the defense line, the first battle of Qigou Pass, and then the battle of Zhuozhou approaching Yanjing, once again divided the Youyan area into two halves, becoming the left wing of the campaign, according to the plan of the two armies will be after the capture of Yanjing, with it as a round point to the west, to complete the encirclement of the Wushu Department in Juyong Pass, and concentrate forces to annihilate it.

But the Datong Army had a problem, they blocked Juyong Pass in the early stage and contained the main force of the Jin Army, which was not wrong. However, the fly in the ointment is that Zhao Yan is eager to protect the lord, in order to reduce the pressure of the emperor in the enemy's rear, he failed to continue to work as planned, but took it upon himself to release the vulture to enter Fengsheng Prefecture, trying to annihilate the vultures with his own strength, which made Zhao Ta's plan to annihilate the enemy army of Youyan in danger of falling through...
