Under the howling cold wind, the dusk sun shines on the Sanggan River Valley, only the lonely goshawk hovers and soars in the air in the vast sky, and the wide river beach is full of fully armed and well-armored Jin army soldiers, their commander is Wanyan Zonghan, the marshal of the Jin State West Route Army, and the Khitan army in Xijing is confronted.

At this moment, the murderous beach was extremely quiet, and in the tense air, the sound of weapons and armor colliding sounded from time to time. The roar of eagles in the sky and the restless neighing of horses in the distance were also faintly audible. The soldiers on both sides held their breath and watched their opponent's every move. The Jurchens, who are good at cavalry combat, only need to cross the river in front of them to the dream of the Central Plains, where the Jurchen cavalry can gallop thousands of miles and sweep invincible!

Wanyan Zonghan looked coldly at the 'Khitan Army' in front of him in the Chinese army, countless battle flags fluttered under the cold wind, and neat phalanxes were discharged under its banner, exuding a breathtaking aura, although the number of people was several times less than his own, but the momentum was not lost to himself at all.

"Alas, providence!" Zong Han sighed with emotion, at the beginning of his southward journey, he took into account this force that could not be ignored, they relied on the strength of a few states to defeat the Dajin Kingdom repeatedly, and kept the last piece of territory in the Liao State, and the myth of 'Jurchen Man is invincible' has been broken by them again and again!

This time, Zonghan also took great pains to choose an offensive route, and his subordinates concentrated 60,000 Jurchen warriors, who were good at field warfare in open areas, and were not suitable for fighting in the mountains with complex ravines and terrain. Although he could avoid the interception of the Liao army in Xijing by going to Shimenyu in Ulzhou, it was difficult to cross the Yanmen Pass, so he chose to borrow a road from Xijing to the south.

In order to avoid a conflict with the Liao army in Xijing. Zong Han did not choose to capture the main road of Datong in Xijingcheng, but chose to pass through the border of Xijing City and go south from the Sanggan River Valley. On the way, the states and counties were besieged but not attacked, and quickly passed without any entanglement with them. I just want to quickly go south and detour back to Daizhou, seize Daizhou by surprise, and open the way to Taiyuan in the south, but the road is narrow, and the two armies are photographed here, and a vicious battle is inevitable depending on the situation...

The Hun River and the Hunyuan River merge into the Sanggan River here, forming a huge inlet under the impact of the strong current, but at this time only the dry river beach remains, becoming the battlefield of the two armies, Zhao Ta inspected the battlefield on the high slope. The black-pressed Jin army couldn't see the end, it filled the entire river, even if he was still hundreds of steps away from them, he could still catch the murderous aura in his face!

At this moment, both sides have completed their formations, as if they are enjoying the most calm before the dark clouds of war turn into a downpour of blood. If the Jurchen invasion of the south is to uncover the history of a hundred years of bloody killings in the Central Plains, then this scene will be the beginning of it, a crucial turning point in history, and it will also usher in the day that Zhao Ta has been waiting for, for today he has been fighting for twenty years!

Garrison Hunyuan. Zhao Ta sent scouts in the army to find out the whereabouts of the Jin army, and a few days later it was ascertained that Zong Han led the main force of the Western Route Army from Yongxing into the Sanggan River Valley Road to the south, and there were 50,000 people led by Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Saili, Wanyan Tuhesu, Wanyan Bali and Yelu Ma Wu. With Wanyan Xiyin as the right supervisor and vanguard, the strategic envoy led Wanyan Tuhe Speed Department as the vanguard; On the other hand, Yan Yinshu, the right capital of the West Route Army, was able to lead a Jurchen 10,000-strong team and 20,000 Khitan and Youyan Han people who rebelled against the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Song Dynasty as a partial division, and went south from Lingqiu Shimenyu in Ulzhou to invade Daizhou and wait for an opportunity to go south, and join the army in Taiyuan.

After Zhao Ta received the report, he immediately sent someone to inform Yelu Yu that he ordered him to lead his army into Xijing City to make defensive preparations. All the residents of Chibi Qingye in the prefecture and county through which the Jin army passed entered the city and only had to defend and not fight, but he did not move. Only scouts and rangers are sent to deal with them. The Jin army was unhindered all the way, and when Zhao Ta approached Huairen County, he suddenly raised troops. Overnight, the troops marched to the river bay overnight to block the footsteps of the Jin army, and at this time the Jin army had penetrated nearly three hundred miles into Xijing...

The vanguard of the Western Route Army made Yan Xiyin's face solemn, and he felt a faint pain in the remaining stump of his right arm when he looked at the enemy's flag fluttering in the wind, which was a memorial left to him by the Yuanzhou Army, but what the Texas Army left him was a deep fear. Along the way, he opened the road and built bridges in the mountains and rivers, and the scouts were sent a hundred miles away, which could not be described as careless and cautious, for fear of repeating the mistakes of the past, but they suddenly appeared in front of his eyes again.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, I am afraid of the well rope, and Wanyan Xiyin was not only bitten, but was bitten all over the body. When he saw the old opponent in front of him, his first reaction was to quickly form a defensive formation, increase his vigilance to defend himself, and immediately send someone to report to Zong Han fifty miles behind him, even if these people were only cutting wood and building a camp under his nose across the river bay, they would not move.

You can't blame Yan Xiyin for being cautious, I can only say that the timing and place of the enemy's appearance are too weird, he is one of the few learned people in Dajin Kingdom, and if he reads more books, he naturally thinks more. Now he has gone deep into the hinterland of Xijing for 300 miles, and all the states and counties he has passed through along the way are closed with city gates closed and become a turtle with a shrunken head, putting on a posture that he can't come out even if he is killed. But just when they only had one day to go out of the boundary of Xijing Mansion, such a large army suddenly appeared and blocked them in the river valley.

Until today, Zong Han led the army to arrive, and Wanyan Xiyin set up an attack posture to confront the Liao army. Zong Han figured it out, not to mention the delay in retreating, if he didn't get it right, he would have to let the family chase and kill behind, so he might as well move forward desperately. I have more than 50,000 elites in my hands, I can't rush through if I don't believe it, even if I can't rush over, I have to try, and I can't be scared to death if I am killed!

"Second master, the enemy army has begun to charge!" Seeing Xi said in a trembling voice to the prince who was sitting on the slope with his eyes closed, the Jurchens moved, seeing that Xi's eyes were a little flowery, and his liver was a little trembling, he had followed the prince for so many years to fight in the south and north, but most of the time he was in the rear, and it was the first time he had seen such a big scene, although the distance was still far away, but he still felt that the mountains under his feet were trembling.

"Yes, I don't think your face is very good, are you afraid?" Zhao Ta opened his eyes, glanced at his pale face, pursed his lips and said with a smile.

"How come, the little one is just worried about the safety of the prince, should we avoid it?" Seeing Xi, he straightened his waist and said, but the second half of the sentence was still timid.

"You're kind!" Zhao Tan smiled and said, "But it's not surprising that you're so close to the battlefield for the first time, but with this time, no matter what happens, you won't feel scared anymore!" ”

"Second master, the little one understands!" Jianxi said, "Second master, haven't you ever been afraid? ”

"I'm afraid, but I'm born in troubled times, what's the use of being afraid!" Zhao Ta shook his head with a wry smile and said, he has lived in fear since he came to this world, but it is precisely because of fear that he has been working hard to change the fate of himself and the Great Song Dynasty, but this price is the collision of life and life, the baptism of blood and fire.

As a descendant and a soldier, Zhao Ta is deeply aware of the 5,000-year history of civilization that we are proud of, and it is also a never-ending history of ups and downs and dynastic changes. It can be said that 'there are talents from all generations, each leading the way for hundreds of years', but it is also a history of cruel wars full of blood and fire.

It can be counted in detail, in the change of dynasties in the past 5,000 years, so far, there has not been a process that is not bloodless, there is not a process that has not caused social turmoil, the people are not happy, the people are displaced, the smoke of war is filled, and the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth are crying blood...

"Second master, if we had killed Wu Qimai's old dog, would we have been able to avoid today's battle?" Seeing Xi's vision is not so far-sighted, watching the Jurchen Iron Horse approaching quickly, the sound of hooves is like thunder, rolling up the dust and smoke in the sky, the dignified murderous aura makes him shudder, this feeling is very bad, and he can't help but hate the initiator Wu Qimai.

"Impossible, we killed Wu Qimai, it won't be long before there will be another Wu Qimai, this is determined by the nature of the nation and the pressure of survival, not something that someone can stop!" Zhao Ta shook his head.

He also wanted to assassinate Wu Qimai at the beginning, which led to a change of regime, but when he gave up assassinating Wu Qimai, he reflected on it, the pace of history is not something that someone can stop, even if he comes to power, the battle of Song and Jin is still unavoidable, but the contradiction is temporarily hidden, and the sores will eventually be broken!

This question should be understood from a deep level, as the Jurchen people, a nomadic people who came out of the deep mountains and mountains in the northeast region, the foundation of their living environment is quite backward and fragile, and the productive forces are quite backward, and most of the Jurchens are still mainly hunting and fishing, if compared with the Song State, which was highly economically developed at that time, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, for the survival and development of their own nation, the Jurchens inevitably waged a series of wars to obtain their own living space and obtain a large number of means of production to meet their own needs. The Song State, which is located in the Central Plains and has a highly developed economy, has naturally become the next target of the Jin State, so it is the inevitable trend of historical development to launch a war against the Song Dynasty.

"Boom, boom..." The wolf preemptively opened fire on the rapid-fire guns of the 1st Brigade, although they only had ten guns, but they were extremely shocked by the Jurchens who tasted it for the first time. Even though he was wearing thick iron armor, the fist-sized iron ball that came at a rapid pace was like paper paste, and the armor leaves were smashed and scattered like fallen leaves, and the parts of the bullet were sparse, and several bloody alleys were smashed in the Jurchen cavalry.

Before the Jurchens could react, the second round of artillery fire had arrived, and this time they didn't even do the war horses under their crotches, and the loud noise made them panic, thinking about escaping from this terrifying battlefield... (To be continued......)
