A turning point in the battle

And such a hard victory in a one-way challenge was barely theoretically achieved by the Yuejia army with more than ten years of accumulation, almost the actual battle of the main general... Although Li Xianzhong is strong, there is still a gap between him and Yue Fei! What's more: Li Xianzhong's most terrible opponent is always not Jin Jun, but Shao Hongyuan!

The Jin army moved quickly, because it rained all the time that summer, so that the Jin army could not use the bows and arrows they used to make zuò from glue. At this time, Marshal Servant Zhongyi, who was sitting in Kaifeng, finally gathered more than 10,000 strong bows and quickly sent them to the left deputy marshal of the front line, Su Shi Lie Zhining!

I still want to introduce Su Shi Lie Zhining. This person is an outlier in the Jin army, and it stands to reason that he should have died many times!

He comes from a famous family, his father is Kaiyuan Jiedu envoy Su Shi Lie Saba, and his father-in-law is famous in the world, and he is known to everyone on the earth as Wanyan Zongbi! In the storm of royal cleansing launched by Wan Yan Liang, Wan Yan Zongbi was one of the important targets, and all his immediate family members died, but Fu Shi Lie Zhining fled over, and the route he took was very similar to Wan Yan Bao, all of them went to the frontier to stand guard. After the situation changed, Wanyan Liangnan's invasion was frustrated, and the backyard caught fire, Wanyan Bao took advantage of the situation and called on all the oppressed people to resist, but Fu Shi Lie Zhining just didn't support it!

This is very strange, Wan Yanliang is a public enemy of the Jurchens, and the whole people are against him, why does Sushi Lie Zhining still seem to support him? When I get home, my wife can't pass that hurdle, right?

But for one reason, every official in the country has become silent. The reason for Su Shi Lie Zhining is: Wan Yan Liang is the emperor, and the emperor cannot be violated! As long as Wan Yanliang is still alive, he will never rebel. At most, stay on the sidelines...

He did what he said, no matter how bad the situation was, until Wan Yan Liang was killed in the Yangtze River, he pledged his allegiance to Wan Yan Bao. After that, he was entrusted with a heavy task and went to quell the first Khitan uprising with his servants and loyalty!

From this resume, it can be seen that Fu Shi Lie Zhining is not simple, he has a firm belief that is rare in the Jurchens, and the things he recognizes will never change or change, and he is a tendon animal of the lifeless type. And with actual combat experience, quelling the Khitan uprising is no easier than attacking the Yangtze River defense line in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the same blood flows like a river. And there are twists and turns...

Then. Fu Shi Lie Zhining led 10,000 Jin troops as the vanguard, and before leaving, he predicted the results of the battle to Jin Shizong: Your Majesty does not have to worry, this battle will be won, and what he is looking forward to is whether he can capture Li Xianzhong alive...

Wan Yan was silent. The legendary life of a generation of famous generals was unique among the three kingdoms of Jin, Xia and Song at that time! Whether it was in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Army Era, the Jin Era, the Pseudo-Qi Era, or the Western Xia Era. They are all rampant and invincible. Everywhere you go, it's a bloody storm! At this time, the defense line of the two Huai was broken. Entering the Kaifeng Heavy Land in Henan, from any point of view, it is terrifying!

Want to be caught alive? Many people have had this dream for decades. But when I woke up, my nose was blue and my face was swollen, and I was in a cold sweat...

About a day's trip behind Sushi Lie Zhining, there were nearly 100,000 Jin troops led by the commander of Henan, and the commander of the city, Sanzhongyi, who was in charge of Kaifeng City. Under this configuration, Jin Shizong's mood stabilized a little, and he began to wait tormentedly...

The great cause of the Jin country is true, but every corner must be guarded by soldiers. The south of the Yellow River is rich in natural resources, and it is an important place for the Jin country, which must not be lost, and the only troops that may be sent are these. At this time, the situation was similar to that of Yue Fei's Fourth Northern Expedition, and the troops in the Kaifeng area had been sent to the front line, if they were defeated by the Song army, then a vacuum would be formed, and the Southern Song army could drive straight into the old Beijing until the south bank of the Yellow River. That was a consequence that Wan Yan Bao, who had just gained a foothold, could not bear, and the impact would quickly spread to other areas of the Jin Kingdom!

On the 17th, Xin Ciying was appointed as the Governor of the Council, and Hong Zun was appointed as the Privy Council. At that time, the good news of the Northern Expedition kept coming, and Xin Ciying, as the cadre of the main battle faction, still wrote thousands of words, please bless him.

On the 21st, the birthday of Emperor Zhao Gou, Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan led the civil and military ministers to Deshou Palace to celebrate the birthday of his "father", and the year has been as usual since then.

The Jin State re-enacted the law on the escape of the expeditionary army. Shangshu Province played: Demanded that all the slaves in the families of the ministers who were executed during the Tiande period and those who followed the rebellion in the Migration Nest be organized into soldiers. Jin Shizong believes that now that the Quartet has just been decided, and the public opinion is a little weaker, it is impossible to resume the law of signing the army.

On the 21st, Fu Shi Lie Zhining led 10,000 elite soldiers from Suizhou to Suzhou.

Li Xianzhong went out of the city to fight! This is the practice of Kansai generals, and it is the style of a generation of famous generals! Having dealt with the Jin army for many years, he knows very well that the record of the two armies when they first meet, and most of them will dominate the victory or defeat of the entire battle... In a word: to deal with the Jurchens, you must win the first battle!

Outside the south gate of Suzhou City, the cavalry of the Jin Army charged Li Xianzhong's Western Route Army! This is a classic trick in the history of Jurchen warfare, wave after wave of never-ending impact, even if it can't be broken, it will be consumed! Speaking of shocks, let's talk about the numbers:

The cavalry of the Jin army generally charged more than ten times in a row, which was enough to settle the battle. Usually this is also their limit. But on this day, the battle situation was that the Jin army charged dozens of times in a row, a number that was rare in the first generation of Jurchen army! The effect was remarkable, the cowardice of the Southern Song Dynasty generals came as scheduled, and the officers Li Fu and Li Bao led the troops to escape. Li Xianzhong arrived on a prancing horse and slashed the two with his own sword, only to stabilize his position!

Death to those who retreat! Li Xianzhong told the whole army with a bloody head: This is a battle where the enemy lives and dies, and there is no room for death, and only victory can leave the battlefield safely! It couldn't be more powerful! Every soldier of the Southern Song Dynasty, whether brave or cowardly, was either inspired or intimidated with amazing courage!

Win the first battle! In the situation that the Jin Army charged for dozens of rounds with its absolute superiority, the Western Route Army of a generation of famous generals won an overwhelming victory! Li Xianzhong should have been in a happy and relaxed mood when he collected his troops and returned to the camp that day, judging from the previous war history of Song and Jin, things would be much easier after that. First of all, the Jin army will retreat, and secondly, the difficulty of the next battle will be drastically reduced, and it will not be as difficult as the first battle...

But Li Xianzhong was wrong! Only one night later, on the morning of the 22nd of the next day, after the 100,000 troops of Po Sa were in place, Su Shi Lie Zhining led the whole army to surround the city of Suzhou on all sides, and lined up a large array outside the south city gate, supporting the main general Po Sa to battle... And in the past, Jin Jun felt good about himself, no matter who the opponent was. What a difference in the attitude of contempt and arrogance!

A generation of famous generals intuitively felt that something was wrong, the situation of the battle was changing to an anomaly, and his Western Route Army alone probably couldn't solve the problem. In order to be safe, he went to Shao Hongyuan and went to fight at the same time!

But Shao Hongyuan refused! The reason is that according to the observation of the Eastern Route Army, there will be a huge army reinforcement in the near future, and the number of enemies outside Suzhou City has far exceeded the capacity of the Northern Expeditionary Army. We should be sensible and consider... Retreated! Not only do you not fight, but you also want to retreat!

Li Xianzhong's anger rose. Endured and endured. to restrain his impulses. Afterwards, when he reflected on this qiē, what he hated the most was why he had to endure it at this moment, and those who retreated died! He should have chopped off the heads of those two cowards on the battlefield yesterday, and cut off Shao Hongyuan, a scum! Such. There won't be any more perverted things in the back!

But at this time, he had no way of knowing the future. Only indignantly threw down a sentence: "I only know that there is progress." I don't know how to retreat", so I led the Western Route Army to rush out of Suzhou City and fight a decisive battle with more than 10 thousand gold troops!

The battle on this day was fierce, and Cheng Dù doubled the previous day, and the Jin army was driven by Su Shi Lie Zhining and Xiao Sa. Set a record in the history of the Song-Jin battle, they actually charged for more than 100 rounds in a row! And it's only been done in one morning!

It's an intensity you've never seen before! More than 100,000 Jin troops took turns to fight, strangling less than 40,000 people of the Western Route Army, and the result was that the Jin army was beheaded by the left wing of the capital and thousands of households, thousands of households, and 5,000 Jin troops were killed on the battlefield...

Towards noon, the scorching sun was overhead, the air was sweltering, everyone on the field was gasping violently, and the Jin army launched a final charge. Historical records: This time Li Xianzhong retreated, his troops turned their backs to the city wall, and shot from a distance to defeat the enemy's bow, forcing back the Jin army...

Obviously, the Western Route Army is almost exhausted, and there is not much combat power left. Fortunately, the same was true of the Jin army, they retreated, and there was a brief lull on the battlefield...

The Western Route Army did not return to the city, so they rested on the spot outside the city. At a glance, tens of thousands of people were disarmed, sitting on the ground, covered in sweat, and gasping for breath under the scorching sun...

The fighting spirit is still there, but the body is not good! This is when reinforcements are desperately needed! If everyone is paying attention to the city gate behind them, such as the East Route Army that has been recuperating all the time, how good it would be!

What you want to do? The city gate opened, and it was Shao Hongyuan, the commander of the East Route Army, who ran out! Surprise... For a while, the focus of the battlefield was gathered here, and Shao Hongyuan was the center!

I saw this person riding a horse, patrolling around the battlefield, looking at it for a long time, and after the attention reached its peak, he finally said a sentence, "In this midsummer, the fan is under the coolness, and it is still unbearable, and the armor is fighting hard in the scorching sun" Such a scorching sun, it is too late to shake the fan to enjoy the coolness, and there are still people who wear armor to fight, and fight endlessly?

This sentence spread all over the battlefield in an instant, and every soldier of the Western Route Army who was injured and tired to vomit blood was dizzy with anger! Before, they fought bloodily and unyieldingly, and the more positive they were, the more they felt stupid under this sentence. I didn't do things seriously anymore, but I was mocked as SB and more discouraged... And some so-called "people with hearts" even heard the voice: It's so hot, the crowd is outnumbered, and they still go out of the city to fight, what is it for? If it weren't for coach Li Xianzhong, who only relied on his own passion and greedy for temporary success, how could he not care about the life and death of the soldiers like now? Thinking of the fact that the team was not allowed to go into the city to rest and recuperate, and the loot was not distributed... The eyes of the soldiers looking at Li Xianzhong became strange, and the invincible image of the heroic and heroic and god-like of the god of war was suddenly greatly reduced!

After saying this, Shao Hongyuan rode back to the city on horseback. The sun outside is still scorching, and under the sunny sky on May 22 of the lunar calendar, the Jin army regrouped and rushed to Li Xianzhong's Western Route Army again!

people, or those people. In the morning, they were also bloody and fearless, allowing the Jin army to set a record, and they themselves broke the record. It is no exaggeration to say that they are well-deserved tough guys in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty!

But after noon, everything changed! These people are listless, and their iron-blooded hearts are covered with a dark and shameful veil, and they become hesitant, sluggish, and even very rebellious! Shao Hongyuan's words had a very important impact on the battle situation! At this moment, he really wasn't fighting alone! Many people believe that it must be Taishi Qin's possession that made him do the profession of a traitor so well!

The people's hearts are scattered, and there is no good way for a generation of famous generals, so he can only charge in person and drive these discouraged soldiers behind him with his actions! He firmly believes that the Northern Expedition is him, and it is also an opportunity for the soldiers behind him to take revenge! He doesn't believe that everyone is as selfish and despicable as Shao Hongyuan!

Li Xianzhong bet right! Inspired by him, enough Southern Song soldiers still rushed forward to help him resist the Jin army's offensive again. And this is also the limit of the Jin army, and a moment later, the state of confrontation at noon appeared again... The two armies confronted each other, and neither was able to take the initiative to challenge.

The sun was turning west, dusk was approaching, and the day was about to pass, but suddenly a change happened!

A noisy and piercing gong and drum suddenly sounded behind Li Xianzhong, and more chaotic sounds followed, like a lot of horses moving rapidly...

Li Xianzhong couldn't look back, he didn't know what happened next. It was Zhou Hong, the commander of the Chinese army, who was spreading rumors that the Jin army had added a large number of reinforcements and was about to attack! For a while, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and people in Suzhou shouted and neighed. Many people began to flee: Zhou Hong, Liu Yu, and: Shao Shixiong!

What a wacky scene! With the Suzhou city wall as the boundary, the troops outside the city confronted the Jin army and fought to the death. The troops inside the city walls who hadn't even thrown a brick began to flee! Among those who escaped was Shao Hongyuan's son Shao Shixiong!

The escape quickly spread to the outside of the city wall, and the Western Route Army, which already felt that it had suffered a loss and was deceived, suddenly bombed the camp! The soldiers were in a mess, and the officers reacted quickly ...

Zuo Shiyuan and Li Yanfu also slapped their horses and left, and before escaping, they didn't forget to take their subordinates and run away together. Seeing that the rout of the army was about to be completed, and it would be out of control in a few moments, Li Xianzhong immediately made a decision and ordered the whole army to return to the city!

This order was the most correct choice that could be made at that time, and only by allowing the soldiers in a panic to enter a fairly stable area could it be possible to prevent all of them from escaping... Commands can always be executed out of shape. This time, a large number of middle-level officers: Zhang Xuntong, Zhang Shiyan, Lize, Zhang Yuan... A total of 19 people disobeyed the order! On the grounds that the two main generals were at odds and could no longer fight, they refused to enter the city, abandoned their subordinates one after another, and fled for their lives! The chaotic Western Route Army suddenly became more chaotic, and the soldiers who lost their formation command only knew how to run! Some of them ran away, some of them rushed into the city, and almost instantly blocked the city gates! Crowded and trampled, corpses are in disarray, this is a complete Western Route Army's self-collapse like a nightmare! (To be continued......)
