Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 438 Chasing the Enemy

Heavy snow fell, and the Jurchen and Xixia armies fled to the north.

Zhang Xian led 20,000 cavalry to follow unhurriedly!

The Jurchen and Xixia armies crossed the Gobi a few days ago, and then came towards Xiazhou without rest! They want to break through Xiazhou in one fell swoop, and then enter Guanshan! They have not rested for many days, and with the fierce battle tonight, their soldiers are extremely exhausted!

And Zhang Xian's army was obviously much more relaxed than them. Although Zhang Xian also rushed over, he had not experienced the previous battle, and the soldiers were very physically strong.

There were both light cavalry and heavy cavalry in the Jurchen and Xixia armies, while Zhang Xian led pure light cavalry.

Sometimes, Zhang Xian's army would rush up suddenly, cover fire for a while, and then continue to follow behind them.

Gradually, the Jurchen and Xixia soldiers became more and more frightened, and they felt a huge shadow of death hanging over their heads all the time.

Wanyan suddenly joined the army, feeling anxious.

He has been in Huining Mansion for these years, and he has also heard that the strength of the Han people in the Central Plains has increased greatly, but he did not expect that the strength of the Han people has increased to such an incredible level! The strength of the Han people has undergone such earth-shaking changes! Just now he couldn't see what kind of tactics the Han people were using. In the night, he could only feel that the Jurchen and Xixia armies were being swallowed up and eliminated! The Han people's bows and crossbows are endless, there are bowmen everywhere, all of them are riding and shooting, they can't handle it at all!

"In just six years, the strength of the Han people has improved so much, but the strength of our women is not as good as before!" Wanyan said suddenly and secretly.

If it was six years ago, the Jurchens would never have fled, they would have fought to the last man! But just now, no one issued an order, and the Jurchen army has already fled towards the north! If the Jurchens hadn't escaped just now, but had risked their lives and charged forward one by one, even though the Han Chinese were powerful in riding and shooting, they were limited in number, and it was impossible to stop so many Jurchen troops!

"No, our soldiers are all exhausted, and the Han Chinese seem to be full of energy. If we continue to flee like this, I'm afraid it will be bad luck! Our troops are stronger than them. We should stop, rectify the army, and fight them again!" Finished Yan Tu quickly said to himself.

The sky was already getting dark, and Wanyan Tuhesu felt extremely anxious.

There were only a dozen personal soldiers beside him, and he led these dozen personal soldiers to push forward continuously, and finally he came to the side of a ten thousand commander!

"Wanyan Pei!" Wanyan suddenly shouted loudly.

The Wanfu turned his head and saw that it was Wanyan suddenly joining in, he was slightly taken aback, and then nodded in response.

"We can't run away any longer!" Wanyan suddenly rushed to the side of the ten thousand commander and said.

"The Han people are powerful, if they don't escape, they will be killed by the Han people!" said Wan Fuchang.

"We are far more numerous than the Han people! If we were to fight the Han people decisively, the Han people would not be our opponents! It's just that the whereabouts of the fourth prince is unknown, and we fought on our own, which is why we were defeated by the Han people!" Wanyan said quickly.

"What you said also makes sense." Mr. Wan said.

"Stop quickly, let's have a decisive battle with the Han people!" Wanyan said suddenly.

"Even if I stop, others won't!" Wan Fu said.

"Let's go persuade other people!" Wanyan said quickly, with a begging look on his face.

Mr. Wan finally nodded!

Wanyan suddenly rejoiced in his heart!

At present, Chief Wan sent someone to contact the other Chiefs and Chiefs Wan.

Half an hour passed, the sky was already bright, the snow was still blowing, and the cold wind was howling.

Another two ten thousand commanders and three thousand commanders agreed to stop and have a decisive battle with the Han people, Wanyan suddenly became more and more happy in his heart!

"We still have hope of victory! As long as we have a decisive battle with the Han people, we have a large number of people and can defeat them! However, the Han people obviously knew about our going south, and they even sent people here to intercept us in advance! This time they want to invade the Central Plains. It can't be done, and the fourth prince's whereabouts are unknown, and I don't know how to explain it when I go back." Wanyan frowned suddenly.

"General, another commander has agreed to stop and fight!" A soldier came over and said.

"Where's Li Qianshun?" Wanyan asked quickly.

"Li Qianshun hasn't responded yet," said the soldier.

"We must get Li Qianshun to agree to fight with us! Over the years, the combat power of the Xixia people has improved a lot, and they are no longer inferior to us! With their help, we can defeat the Han people at the lowest price!" Wanyan said quickly.

The soldiers nodded and were about to send someone to contact Li Qianshun, but at this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes from the west.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes from the west, Wanyan's face suddenly changed, he immediately knew something was wrong!

You know, only 60,000 of them came to Xixia area in total, and after Xixia experienced hardships, now Li Qianshun can only gather a total of 30,000 troops! Neither Jurchen nor Xixia has any extra troops to send here, and the sound of horseshoes coming from the west must be the Song army!

"What should I do?" Wanyan suddenly felt beads of sweat ooze from his forehead.

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, the Song army from the west had already rushed over!

The Song army in the west is also all cavalry, with a number of 20,000. They have obviously been in ambush here for a long time. At this moment, their strength is extremely high, and even the excited laughter from the opposite side can be heard in the chaos!

When the Song army from the west rushed over, there was no suspense. The Jurchen army, which had already shown signs of gathering, began to flee again!

The Song army from the west charged forward, and the Jurchen and Xixia armies were divided into two halves. Nearly 20,000 Jurchen and Xixia armies were stopped, and Zhang Xian's cavalry rushed over again!

Zhang Xian's cavalry joined the Song army in the west, a total of more than 40,000 people. They sent some soldiers and horses to chase the fleeing Jurchen and Xixia cavalry, and left some soldiers and horses to annihilate the blocked Jurchen and Xixia cavalry!

There were constant shouts and killings on the snow field, and nearly ten thousand Jurchen and Xixia cavalrymen died here!

*** ***

For a whole day, Zhang Xian was chasing after him!

Zhang Xian was followed by a man who was also Yue Fei's general, Dong Xian, an important general of Yue's army in history.

Dong Xian breathed the cold air, his face was flushed with cold, but there was a smile on his face.

"Brother Zhang, we have eliminated many Jurchen and Xixia people this time!" Dong Xian said.

"Brother Yue's order is to completely eradicate the cancer of Xixia and eliminate all the remnants of Xixia! Our mission is not yet completed! We will divide into two groups later, and you continue to move forward! I think the Jurchen and Xixia people may have to rest It's been a while! We're tired too!" Zhang Xian said.

This army was divided into two parts again. Zhang Xian went northwest to pursue the fleeing Jurchen and Xixia armies, while Dong Xian headed due north, and then headed west soon after.

The sky gradually darkened, and this time the Jurchen and Xixia armies finally stopped.

They were so exhausted that the horse couldn't run anymore and had to stop.

In addition to those who died in battle, plus those who ran away along the way, there are still more than 65,000 Jurchen and Xixia troops.

These more than 65,000 people crowded into a big circle. Some of them went to collect firewood and started to light a fire to keep warm. Many soldiers paid close attention to the south, in case Zhang Xian's army rushed suddenly.

In the distance, Zhang Xian's 20,000 cavalry also stopped, and the 20,000 cavalry also started to light a fire to keep warm.

At the beginning, they also collected firewood, and then they lit a bonfire.

But less than an hour later, they even took out their own food and grass, piled it into a pile, and lit it as a bonfire.

On the other side, the Jurchen cavalry only felt that the number of bonfires in the opposite Song army was increasing, just like the stars in the sky!

Dotted and densely packed, there are bonfires everywhere!

The faces of the Jurchen and Xixia cavalrymen who were resting changed drastically. Everyone felt that the Song army had reinforcements coming!

Finally, the Xixia people stood up first, got on their horses, and fled towards the northwest again regardless of their fatigue.

The Jurchens also mounted their horses one after another and headed for the distance. Wanyan suddenly wanted to restrain the army, but he couldn't restrain them at all.

But there was still a group of people who reacted slowly. Before they could get on their horses, Zhang Xian's 20,000 cavalry had already rushed over, and another burst of cover shots.

On the morning of the second day, the remaining Jurchen and Xixia cavalry encountered Dong Xian's cavalry who had detoured again!

Dong Xian's cavalry was also extremely tired, especially when they came by detour. The Jurchen and Xixia cavalry had been rested before, but his cavalry had hardly any rest.

However, Dong Xian and Zhang Xian followed each other, and the two sides surrounded the Jurchen and Xixia army, and the morale of the army was far higher than that of the Jurchen and Xixia cavalry. The war is still out of suspense.

After the battle in the morning, there were only 40,000 Jurchen and Xixia cavalry left, while Dong Xian and Zhang Xian lost very little!

They are still chasing closely behind the Jurchen and Xixia cavalry!

At this moment, it is time to compete for endurance and perseverance. Dong Xian, Zhang Xian and all the cavalry of the Song Army still have extremely high morale, and they have the invincible confidence to defeat all enemies! This kind of invincible confidence was formed in repeated fights with Jurchen! In history, the Mongols dared to go all the way north and conquer the European continent with only 20,000 people, relying on such invincible confidence, and now the Song Army cavalry is the same. On the way, they may encounter countless difficulties, but they are confident that they can overcome them. The amount of grain and grass they carry is limited, but to the north of the Gobi, there are villages and towns in Xixia. They will support war with war and get grain and grass from Xixia people.

In fact, Yue Fei's orders to them were mainly to expel the Jurchen and Xixia armies, and then send some troops into the territory of Xixia to destroy the villages and towns of Xixia, so that the remnants of Xixia would really disappear. He did not let Zhang Xian and Dong Xian completely wipe out the Jurchen, The Xixia army, but Zhang Xian and Dong Xian now have the idea of ​​​​annihilating the woman and the Xixia army! The tiger in the jungle has grown enough to frighten the entire forest, but even the tiger itself does not know how sharp its minions are, and even Yue Fei can't imagine that the current Song Army's strength is completely and completely surpassed Above the Jurchens! They need battle after battle before they can continue to make judgments about their true strength.
