Chapter 381: Cat Chasing Mouse

The battlefield is like fire, and the battle is like blood.

After the fall of the horse, the Zong Dynasty immediately fell into a disadvantage and was in danger.

At this time, the guards around him arrived in time, and under the rescue, Zong Chao was out of danger.

In a way, these Jin army guards are not qualified. They are good at heads-up and fighting, but they are not good at joint operations; Good at charging into battle, but not good at protecting people. After the fall of the Dao Sect Dynasty, these people came to the rescue, instead of guarding them all the time, letting the danger be stifled and budded.

"Who are you?" Riding on the war horse again, Zong Chao asked hatefully.

"It's Han Shizhong!" Song Jiang replied.

"I remembered. I'll take your dog's life! ”

"It's just a defeat!"

After a brief encounter, the Song army retreated.

In the vast night, the Zong Dynasty was worried that he would be ambushed, so he did not pursue him.

This time, the night attack was mainly to test the strength of the Jin army.

It's just that after the temptation, Han Shizhong regretted a little that the fighter plane was delayed.

Since the first year of Jingkang, Han Shizhong has fought fiercely with the Jin army, and was often defeated by the Jin army, not because he didn't fight hard, not because he didn't work hard, but because the Song army's combat effectiveness was too poor. It's often a one-touch defeat. This left him with a shadow of fear in Jin Jun's subconscious.

This expedition to Liaodong, because of the existence of this layer of shadow, when fighting against the Jin army, he has always been cautious and thought of the worst.

While this has reduced some big defeats, it has also missed many opportunities.

For example, this night attack, if you do a good job of dispatching the whole army. Fighting to the death, there is a seven-layer chance to defeat this golden army and achieve a great victory.

Just due to being too cautious. As a result, only a part of the troops and horses were dispatched, resulting in a big victory being missed in vain.

"It seems that, as the emperor said, the Jin Army's combat strength has declined greatly. This Seventh Prince, is far less powerful than Zong Fu and Zong Wang! Han Shizhong came to this conclusion.

…………

After this night attack, the Song army began to show "traces" and lured the Jin army into pursuit.

And the Seventh Prince also began to pursue.

A game of cat and mouse. Swift opening!

The Song army began to retreat, and the Jin army began to catch up, pursuing all the way. Run for your life all the way. On the way to escape, the Song army deliberately set up obstacles, slowed down the pursuit of the Jin army, and constantly fatigued the Jin army. It also gave Jin Jun a false impression. It seems that as long as you work hard, you will chase after it.

Chasing and chasing, some derailments, advancing deep inland.

These areas were sparsely populated and there were almost no maps to explore, which caused inconvenience to the Song army's march, but also allowed the Jin army to break away from the rear. The farther you chase.

The battle began, in the direction of Ji Lu. Step by step.

Between a section of the foothills of Changbai Mountain, the Song army set up camp, and the pursuing Jin army was less than thirty miles away.

This kind of cat-and-mouse game has been going on for more than a month, and in the continuous rapid march, the Song army, which was originally a little immature, has become mature, and what is more advantageous is that the supply materials of the navy have also been sent in time, so that the Song army, which was originally exhausted of materials, has once again regained its strong combat effectiveness.

At this time, Han Shizhong had to admire the emperor's foresight, having a navy is equivalent to having a supply base at any time, and a better landing operation.

The situation of the war is gradually developing in favor of the Song army.

"The time for fierce battle has come, and the opportunity to annihilate this golden army has come. Now in Liaodong, the Jin army is in short supply, with a total of less than 50,000 troops, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are less than 20,000 people who can be called elite! ”

"And this golden army, there are more than seven thousand, at that time Huining will definitely shake, and the entire Dajin will definitely shake! At that time, our alliance with Goryeo will also be much smoother! ”

"This battle must be fought, and it must be won!"

Han Shizhong looked at the many generals present and said his plans.

At this moment, the envoys of the Song Dynasty had already arrived in Goryeo to discuss the alliance, but it was not going well. At this time, the high-level leaders of Goryeo were playing sloppy, vaguely talking about the theme, and always flickering on the issue of alliances, and not reaching the center. Procrastination, mainly to find the right and left, not to offend, mainly to get some benefits from the Song Dynasty,

Now if you want to break the diplomatic deadlock and push Goryeo to fall to the Great Song Dynasty, the only way to win on the battlefield is to win.

And this kind of victory, it is better to have a big victory close at hand, under the noses of the Koreans.

…………

After continuous pursuit, the 7,000 gold army was a little tired.

The Jin Army at this time is no longer the Jin Army of five years ago. Five years ago, the Jin army was a group of bitter people, all fighting for survival, at that time, they were united, brave and invincible, and won all battles, whether it was the Liao army, the Western Xia army, or the Song army, they were all victorious and victorious.

It's just that five years have passed, and the Jin army has begun to decay.

Especially the Jurchen army, which is the main force, has begun to erode.

If a strong army wants to build successfully, it may take more than ten years; But if you want to decay, it only takes a few years, or even a few months, to suffice.

He invaded the Song Dynasty in the south and obtained a large amount of booty, including women, gold and silver, and goods. This made the eyes of the top brass of the Jin Army confused, and they no longer had that simplicity and bravery. After the spoils of war were captured, because of the uneven distribution of accounts, the generals occupied more and the soldiers took less; The Jurchen army occupies more, and the vassal army occupies less. The entanglement of this spoils of war has led to the emergence of estrangement between the upper and lower levels.

And those who can live in Huining City and live in the capital of Daikin are all first-class nobles, or first-class people with connections and connections, and they all live a comfortable life.

And living a comfortable life, it is difficult to train good soldiers.

Difficulty, is the brood of a good source of soldiers.

The combination of these factors has caused the combat power of the cavalry of the 8,000 Jin Army to be really not very good, at least several grades worse than the elite soldiers led by Zong Han, Zong Bi and others.

Of course, these Jin Jun have not yet had this kind of consciousness, and they are still immersed in the dream of the Jin Army being invincible in the world.

At this time, Wan Yan was planning to capture Han Shizhong alive and establish meritorious deeds;

And some of the generals of the Jin Army also howled, like wolves eating meat.

In the eyes of the entire Jin army, the Song army has been exhausted as long as it continues to run and flee, as long as it continues to add strength, as long as it continues to chase, the Song army will be finished, and the invading Jin army will be completely wiped out. And the next thing is to purge those Khitans.

With the invasion of the Song army, those Khitans who had originally kept to themselves also began to move, organizing a righteous army to fight against the Jin army, and it seemed that they wanted to restore the Great Liao Empire again.

It's just that Da Liao is so easy to recover?

Since the Khitan people love to dream, let's wake up with a stick!

And the only one who is calm is probably the Seven Emperors Sect.

Zong Chao's talent is average, he belongs to Liaohua's first-class, if he faces Han Xin, Zong Wang and others, he can't show his existence at all, and he is more soy sauce; However, with the front-line generals outside, the advantages of the Zong Dynasty were evident at this moment.

Maybe he is not as good as the second brother and the fourth brother, but he rarely makes mistakes.

Even if you make a mistake, you can correct it very well.

The Zong Dynasty lacked excellent military talent, but it continued to learn, constantly make up for its own shortcomings, and make rapid progress.

For example, a month ago, the Jin army's camp was very bad, vulnerable, and easy to attack; However, at this time, the camp was well established, not impregnable, but it could also be called solid and reliable.

At this time, Han Shizhong attacked the camp at night, and the odds of victory were not great, and he might even be defeated.

War is urging people to progress, as long as they are not dead, as long as they are not too poor, they will continue to make progress and reduce their shortcomings.

At this time, the command level of the Zong Dynasty was still very bad, and there was still a big gap between him and his elder brothers, but he already had some qualities of a good general.

Pursuing all the way, Zong Chao obviously noticed that something was wrong, and had the intention to give up the pursuit, but when he thought of the morale of the whole army, he could only let the pursuit continue.

"But it doesn't matter if something happens, I've already notified Zong Pan urgently. At this time, Zong Pan had already led the casualty army to converge, and at that time, the two armies were integrated, and no matter how many conspiracies Han Shizhong had at that time, no matter how many calculations he had, it would be in vain! ”

"Although it is said that Zong Pan and Wan Yan are arguing endlessly because of the position of the prince, I don't think they will drag their feet on this kind of issue!"

Thinking of Zong Pan, who was hurrying over, the uneasiness in Zong Chao's heart was swept away.

This matter is related to the fortune of the country, and I don't think Zongpan will not be ignorant of the general situation!
