As the scouts who had gone to inspect the source of the artillery sound and the cause of the fire in Zhaozhou returned, Wanyan Yanying soon learned the truth and learned that the Song army had begun to assemble. This made him want to die on the sand beam, and his near-perfect withdrawal plan was threatened with failure because of some trivial matter, and two seemingly unrelated things were the root cause of the revelation of the withdrawal plan.

It turned out that there were less than 500 Jin troops left behind in the southern camp, and their mission was to confuse the Song army and prevent the Song army from discovering their actions. However, the psychological pressure on these remaining soldiers can be imagined, especially those Jin troops who went out to patrol the camp, and their overreaction attracted the counterattack and suspicion of the Song army, which caused the Song army to fire a fire with a tentative fire. The Jin army who stayed behind thought that they had been exposed, and they could still take care of fighting the fire and pretending to be garlic, so they ran away and let the fire expand.

The overall evacuation of the soldiers and civilians in Zhaozhou City was not as smooth as expected, after all, the people had been living here for many years, and the foundation of their family business was here, and the arrival of the Song army had already caused them heavy losses, and with the gathering of the army, they saw the hope of victory, and now they suddenly withdrew to the south bank, which was naturally difficult to accept for a while. But under the swords and guns of the soldiers, they can only succumb, but it takes time to organize the family, and it is difficult to evacuate before sunset on time despite repeated delays.

Shi Jianu and Pu Cha, who were responsible for the evacuation of the soldiers and civilians in the city, were anxious, and they had reached the opposite shore before sunset as planned, but now they continued to delay and finally became the troops behind the palace, and the danger factor increased little by little. They were instructed to light a fire and evacuate as soon as the surrounding battalions had withdrawn. Therefore, after the two men consulted, they realized the placement of men in various parts of the city. Collect firewood and grass and pour oil on it. Prepare to set fire to the city as soon as you receive the evacuation order.

It was getting dark, and Shi Jianu and the two of them ordered people to urge those in the city who had not yet evacuated to leave quickly. While standing on the city wall, he watched the soldiers walk past the city and get out of danger. I was also more anxious to send a signal from the camp outside the city so that I could catch the last train. Just when the two of them were jumping to their feet in a hurry, they suddenly saw the big camp fire, and they didn't care to inspect it in detail, and the sound of the cannon was naturally ignored, regardless of the fact that there were still people in the city who had not finished withdrawing, they immediately ordered the fire to be lit, and for a time there were fires everywhere in the city of Zhaozhou. They also hurried out of the city to the banks of the river, and who cared about those who did not go out of the city.

When the two Shi Jianu rushed to the riverbank to report to the capital army that they had successfully completed the task of evacuating the army and civilians and burning the city, they knew how much mistake they had made, but the capital army was still merciful, and beheaded all those who stayed in the camp to provoke without authorization and leaked the secrets of the withdrawal, and ordered the two of them to change into the rear team and lead the army and horses of the headquarters to meet the Song army that caught up, so as to atone for the crime!

Wanyan Yanying dealt with the culprit, but he also knew that the matter was irreparable, so he could only try his best to protect the army from crossing the river. He turned to look at the river, and the ferry was crowded with people, and he stepped on the pontoon bridge in an orderly manner under the command of the pro-soldier team. However, because the pontoon bridge was built in a hurry. The boats were used for temporary requisition, and some wooden planks were laid on them as bridges, so the bearing capacity was small, and it was difficult to carry too many people and horses at the same time. It is necessary to distance itself from each other, and it looks like a long snake wriggling slowly. And more people gathered on the river beach and waited for passage, and it was unknown how long it would take to cross the river completely. If the Song army is killed, there is nowhere to retreat.

"Ordered the armies to abandon their baggage and speed up the passage. The team waiting to cross the river should not get together, and choose a suitable place to cross the river. Cross the river as far as possible and fortify. Wan Yan Yanying saw that the speed of crossing the river was slow, and anxiously ordered.

"Obey the order, but Zhaozhou City occupies a pontoon bridge alone, which has already caused dissatisfaction among the troops, and it may cause dissatisfaction if they abandon their baggage and floating horses to cross the river!" The overseer Jiagu Shenu said.

"Well, it was their greed for money that caused such a disaster, and they immediately drove them off the pontoon bridge and let the armies go first!" Wanyan Yanying sneered and said, he was angry and had nowhere to vent, and it happened that those backward people of Zhaozhou had become scapegoats.

And Wanyan Yanying did this for a reason, most of these large armies who crossed the river were Meng'an and Mooke soldiers who enjoyed territories around Beijing, but they had gradually evolved from a military organization during the founding period to a local administrative organization, with the characteristics of administrative, production and military integration. They are self-organized, built between villages, do not belong to the state and county, count their household registration, grant official land, become the Tuntian army, this kind of Tuntian Meng'an Mouke people are actually hereditary professional military households filled by the Jurchens.

At the same time, Mouke and Meng'an evolved into officials exercising local administration, in charge of repairing military affairs, training martial arts, and advising farmers to teach agriculture, and like the defense envoys of the defense states, they had the task of "guarding against danger and controlling thefts". In addition to training, Meng'an Mook households are engaged in agricultural production. If there is a war, Ding Zhuang accepts the levy and sets out with his own saddle horse equipment; His family still left his family to give birth.

Because Mouke and Meng'an were mostly held by the Jurchens, and most of them were hereditary official positions only granted by their ancestors or their own great contributions to the country, so they were grateful to the Jin State and loyal to the Jin State, and the Meng'an and Mouke in the Tuntian around the Jingshi were the founding heroes of the year, and the tribes that could be trusted by the imperial family could obtain the qualification to be stationed around them. It can be said that they are an important force in the defense of the Beijing Division.

However, these Meng'an and Mouke still maintain the traditions of the past, and after being conscripted into the army, they all bring their own saddle horses and supplies, and the state is not responsible for supplying grain and grass. In the past, most of them fought abroad, and they were able to capture and plunder to replenish the consumption, but now they are fighting at home, and it is not feasible to rely on looting to replenish supplies, so they have to rely on their own tribes to provide food, and they are only making losses and not making money. At the same time, these clan armies also had to bear the double taxes of the state and the lord, and the burden was very heavy.

Now let the clan army cross the river on horseback, they must abandon all the baggage in order to reduce the burden, and after going back, they can't get the country's supplement, so they can only pay for it by themselves, of course, they don't have Zhao Li's arrogance to dare to give up the materials in Changchun City, so they will inevitably resist Yan Yanying's order to abandon the baggage. Wanyan Yanying accommodated a large number of Jiangnan troops, but inevitably offended the three Meng'an in Zhaozhou.

The foreign army, relying on the strength of the outnumbered people and the support of the capital army, quickly squeezed aside the soldiers and civilians of Zhaozhou who were preparing to cross the bridge. The Zhaozhou army immediately stopped doing it, including their wives and children, everyone knows that they are temporarily safe after crossing the river, and now these foreign troops treat them like this on their own territory, and they must not be bullied to death when they cross the river......

At this time, Wanyan Yanying no longer had the energy to take care of these little things, the city of Zhaozhou, which was burning like a small sun, illuminated a radius of several miles as if it were day, and the scene was unobstructed, and it could be seen that the torches in the distance were bright, like a giant dragon circling and dancing, rapidly approaching where they were, and he immediately realized that the Song army had all been dispatched to intercept his crossing of the river, and a big battle was inevitable.

However, the current shape shì is not good for the Jin army, they are on the way to retreat, in a passive state. And the 50,000 troops of the Song army marched in formation, even if they let the rearguard turn back to face the battle, they would be quickly crushed by the Song army's brigade, but they just felt that they were stumbling, and they couldn't stop the Song army's pursuit at all, but would cause unnecessary casualties to themselves. If you concentrate on the formation of the team to face the battle, you will be fighting with your back to the water, there is no depth, there is no room for maneuver, once you fail, you will only be driven into the river to feed Wang Ba, and you will also lose the original intention of preserving the vitality of the Jingshi Division.

Wanyan Yanying understood that if they wanted to have both fish and bear's paws, they could only defend the Daqing Mountain under their feet, which was the only danger they could rely on. But this also made him very emotional, maybe it was the ancestors of the Jurchens who couldn't bear to see their descendants Xingxing defeated here, so that when Wanyan Yanying made a retreat plan, he thought that he might be chased and killed by the Song army because of the leakage of his whereabouts, so he arranged defensive forces on the sand beam in advance, so he was not in a hurry.

People say '30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi', but in just 10 days, Wanyan Yanying has experienced such a big change. Ten days ago, it was the Song army that occupied this sand beam to block its own army, and they fought bloodied in order to seize this sand beam, but the Song army held it and saved it from being wiped out; But now he is in a different position for offense and defense, and he has changed from the attacking side to the defensive side, and in order not to be completely annihilated, he has to defend this place that once made him infinitely sad. It's just that I don't know if I can stop the Song army to protect the army.

In order to avoid the lesson of the last time because the army defending Shaliang was crushed by the rout of the front, and thus occupied Shaliang by the Song army. Wanyan Yanying specially reserved a passage in a depression, and set up obstacles such as horse rejection and foothills in other places, forcing them to follow the path they had drawn. A large number of rolling logs were piled up on both sides, and if the Song army followed, they could be pushed down to death and close the gap.

"The army is all in command, the Song army brigade is approaching our rearguard, and the progress is very fast, do you want to send troops to respond?" At this time, Mi Sandantu came over and said.

"Well, there is no need to send someone to pick it up, so that the defender can speed forward and quickly pass through the sand beams. Prepare the Thunderbolts to open fire as soon as the Song Army comes into range, and let them taste our awesomeness! Wanyan Yanying nodded and said, this time he not only wants to protect the army, but also makes the Song army pay the price.

"Yes, all the commanders!" Hearing this, he turned around and waved the order flag, and the Jin army on the sand beam immediately removed the covered cover, revealing a row of black hole muzzles...... (To be continued......)
