By midnight, everyone had dinner early, and they brought dry food and dressed neatly. After Zongbi, Zongxian and others met, thousands of cavalry gathered together. After leaving the city, they joined the rest of the troops. More than 40,000 cavalrymen gradually gathered into a black iron stream on the ground of Hebei on a rainy night. The night was pitch black, and the sky was without moon or stars. Only lightning flashed across the night sky from time to time, and there were a small amount of pine oil torches, which were not afraid of rain, illuminating the road for this cavalry team.

Starting from near Daming Mansion, pure cavalrymen can reach Yanjing in just five or six days without any obstacles.

The front of the Jin soldiers was already occupied by the Song army. Shortly after settling from Daming, they had to pass through Xingzhou, which was controlled by the Song army. Fortunately, the main force of the Song army was mostly stationed along the Yanjing line. Xingzhou was dominated by the rebel army, with only a small number of imperial guards and infantry crossbowmen. They cooperated with the rebel army to defend the city. Seeing the large group of Jin soldiers running by near the city, the Song army guarding the city and the gongs and drums of the rebels began to shoot arrows from a distance. Seeing the endless stream of Jin soldiers swarming by, the Song army generals guarding the city were so anxious that they jumped. Unfortunately, Xingzhou was just a buffer and did not have a large number of long-range weapons. With the strength of the Song army in the city, it was probably not enough for the ones who rushed to fight together. At the moment, they could only keep beating drums and gongs. The Jin cavalry had some bad luck close to each other, and some were shot by the wandering arrows on the top of the city, which was considered to be in thousands.

After breaking through Xingzhou's defense line so smoothly, the Jin soldiers were relieved.

Zong Bi knew that things were not so easy. Enzhou was ahead, and then Zhending. After Zhending, most of the prefectures and counties south of Yanjing, such as Xiongzhou, Feihu, and Tianzhou, had already fallen into the hands of the Song army. Although Zong Han waited for Zong Bi to lead the army, he would leave Yanjing to invite the Song army to attack, attacking the Jin army on both sides to cover the northward Jin soldiers, but they only crossed hundreds of cities, Chizhou and counties along the way. They all fell into the enemy's hands, with a vast future and a very difficult road to return.

The development of the matter was indeed not as expected by Zong Bi. Xingzhou was easy to pass, but most of the other prefectures and counties along the way were stationed with a large number of imperial guards. The Jin soldiers headed north in advance, and built a large number of horse-resisting and wooden fences along the way. Under the cover of infantry, archers were arranged around them. Once the Jin soldiers rushed, the rain of arrows was like rain clouds. The Jin soldiers dared not fight. After opening the passage, they fled in panic.

It was time to get to the time. More than 30,000 imperial guards went out of the city to invite the battle. Wanyan Huo and other ten thousand officers were in a very embarrassing way. At this time, they finally couldn't bear it and ignored Zong Bi's opposition. They led their troops to attack the enemy formation. But they met two troops Yao Duan and Zhang Xian. They first entrusted the cavalry of Yao Duan to marry them and destroyed the morale that the Jin soldiers had finally boosted. Then the infantry held a spear in his hand and went forward to cover the killing. Then a large number of archers and crossbowmen were scattered. The two imperial guards were equipped with a large number of storm guns. After a scattered bang, the war horses were frightened, and the Jin soldiers brigade was in chaos and defeated.

Wanyan Balisu and others saw that the situation was not good, and they had already retreated. However, Wanyan Huo Nu had long had the idea of ​​dying. Seeing that the entire army was defeated again, in the past few dozen days, the Jin soldiers were defeated in every battle. He was a young man. His blood was strong and he could not withstand such a blow. Seeing that the defeated soldiers in front of him were like a tide, Wanyan Huo Nu's eyes were red. He was dying, no matter how he was going to kill the front. Seeing that the commander was like this, his personal soldiers did not dare to abandon it. Dozens of people were moving forward in a tide of defeated soldiers of tens of thousands, and gradually led many people to attack back, trying to kill the chasing Song army.

Seeing this, Wanyan Huo's girl was overjoyed and couldn't help but raise her arms and shout, "Juchen man, how can the Nanman just fight like a dog? It's a good man, let me rush to kill you!"

Just as he was screaming, he heard a strong roar in his ears. The personal soldiers around him were already screaming. Several people quickly shot and spears. Wanyan Huo Nu could only hear a loud bang behind him, but there was a loud bang made by weapons.

After he turned around, he saw that it was a general who was a young and handsome man with a face full of blood, but his expression was calm. Wanyan Huo's heart was cold and knew that it must be the general who had been through battle formations and killed countless people, so he had such a calm temperament on this battlefield.

When the other party saw him staring, he immediately grinned, raised the iron spear in his hand and said, "You are not wronged to die under my Zhang Xian spear."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to answer, the iron spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake, and it was stabbed and almost every spear was hit. After a few strokes, almost no one of the personal soldiers around Wanyan Huo was his enemy. Wanyan Huo was proud of his courage, but he also knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the Song general. Seeing that he was strolling in the garden and killed all his personal guards, he didn't need anyone to help him. The Jin soldiers who had already plucked up the courage to kill him also fled in panic and disappeared. He knew that he was lucky and asked calmly: "I would like to ask the general to be a famous name, but I don't want to be an unjust dead ghost."

This person has lived in the Han area for a long time and speaks fluently. In fact, he is somewhat closer to the Han people. To understand the theory of ghosts, it is the custom of the Han people.

Seeing him so calmly, Song General looked at him with curious eyes. Seeing that Wanyan Huo's girl was indeed not afraid at all, he immediately smiled and said, "You are also a warrior. Surrender, and you will never die."

Wanyan Huo's girl ignored the other party's advice to surrender, but asked calmly: "General's name is honored?"

The Song general finally showed admiration, slowly raised the dead iron spear with one hand, and replied: "Zhang Xian."

Wanyan Huo nodded and smiled, saying, "It turns out it is General Zhang. It's really not unfair to die, and it's worth it."

Zhang Xian has been famous for a long time. He is a figure like Yue Fei's right-hand man in the Yue family's army. It is indeed not unfair to die at Zhang Xian's hands. He heard the other party say this, Zhang Xian was very proud. With the iron spear in his hand, he stabbed Wanyan Huo's girl to death. When the other party's body fell to the ground, Zhang Xian casually ordered: "This enemy general is not an ordinary person. Check if there are any tokens on him, remember the name, and it will be buried."

After hearing the orders, the personal soldiers around him immediately dismounted and went to check. When they saw the signs and other items on Wanyan Huo Nu's body, they realized that they had killed tens of thousands of enemy families in a battle, and the Song army was naturally full of joy.

At the beginning of the battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties, it was already an amazing military achievement to be able to kill a hundred enemies. However, this year, the battle has come and killed more than ten thousand enemies. The decline of the Jin soldiers can be seen.

The Song army was filled with joy, and the cheers were shaking the sky, but the Jin army was filled with depression. If the Jin army was in front of the superior Song soldiers or the heavy armored infantry, the failure of the Jin army could still find excuses. When facing the Song army, which was not more numerous than themselves and was not well-equipped, they were even defeated and lost. All the generals of the Jin army were all sharp in their hearts, and the morale of the army had been lost. When they arrived near Yanjing, if Zong Han did not rescue effectively, the only fate would be the destruction of the entire army.

The Jin soldiers, who were frightened and were repeatedly attacked, barely reorganized the army and fought again. This time, they easily repelled the pursuit of a few cavalrymen of Yao Duan, causing severe casualties and injuries to Yao Duan. Although Yao Duan was good at cavalry battles and his subordinates were elite, they were not much stronger than the Jin soldiers. They could not compare with the terrible combat power of the Bozi Army, and the number was small. The Jin soldiers had become sorrowful soldiers at this time. After fighting, they easily defeated Yao Duan. The large group of Jin soldiers took a detour, avoided the Song army's infantry formation, bypassed Zhending Prefecture City, and headed straight for Yanjing.

In June, heavy rains fell frequently, roads were muddy and difficult to walk, ditches surged along the way, and the originally inconspicuous river could instantly become a roaring dragon. The Jin soldiers had blocked the way forward and chased them in the back, and heavy rain fell from the sky, and roads and bridges were built along the way, which was really miserable.

A few years ago, the same army was full of ambition and aspirations. From the snowy north to the north, they killed the weak Han people, and their wives were frightened. Their wife was asked for money and liberty. Today, the fewer and fewer Jin soldiers who fled and returned were fighting, and they became more and more embarrassed. Many people lost their armor, their robes were worn, and their bodies were stained with blood. They looked embarrassed. There was no trace of the elite soldiers at all. Finally, they reached Xiongzhou, which was less than a hundred miles away from Yanjing, and was very close to them. According to the agreement between Zong Han and Zong Bi, Zong Han would scatter cavalry near Xiongzhou. Zong Bi attacked once symbolically. After the cavalry knew about it, they would cooperate with the two armies to attack together, open the defense line built by the Song army and rescue Zong Bi's army to return to Yanjing.

Seeing the tight barriers and the red flags waving for dozens of miles of Song army camp, not only ordinary Jin soldiers, but also Zong Bi took a breath of air conditioning.

Although the time has not been long, the Han people in Hebei have been looking forward to the royal army for a long time, and the Song army has not disappointed the people. Lu You's poem "Don't forget to tell me about my old man for family sacrifices" has not yet come out. As soon as the Song army arrived, more than one million Han people in Hebei were ecstatic. Under the command of the Song army, they helped the Song army build defense fortifications with the original rebel army. In less than ten days, the entire front line had been built extremely strongly, resisting red and deer antlers everywhere, and the whistle towers were connected into pieces. Zong Bi looked at it for a moment and knew that it would be a delusion to break through such a front defense with his own army.

However, after a lot of hardships, he made an appointment with Zong Han, so Zong Bi naturally refused to give up this last chance. He was worthy of being the commander of the Jurchen Kings, who was the best in the battlefield command. He found a slightly weak defense line in the Song army, and carefully selected thousands of elite cavalry, pretending to be a sound. The sound of fighting was clearly heard for more than ten miles. However, the Song army was tightly defended and had no effect in the rushing. When Zong Bi was doing something, there was also a shout of killing on the other side. I saw the Jin flag rushing against the opposite side. From Zong Bi, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and knew that there was hope of breaking the siege.

Zong Bi was strong for a lifetime and knew that the morale was best to inspire morale at this time. When the soldiers who were feinting attack retreated, they killed the Song army behind him. After the entire camp was established, Zong Bi summoned the generals and said, "Prince Zong Han is on the opposite side. According to the agreement, after the two sides join, the entire army will be out tomorrow and break the siege together!"
