Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 488 The First Battle of the Northern Expedition

Yeluyun immediately assembled the Jurchen army!

But the night is too dark, many Jurchen soldiers are sleeping now! After half an hour, the 8,000 Jurchen army from Bei'an Prefecture came to the city wall one after another.

"It's so late, what did you call us out for?" A Jurchen soldier leaned against the wall, yawning constantly, and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Some people say that the Han people came out of Juyongguan, and now they are not far from Bei'an Prefecture, so the general called us out." A Jurchen soldier next to him said.

"The Han people came out of Juyongguan? Aren't they always shrinking their heads? How can they have the guts to come out?" The Jurchen soldier who had spoken earlier laughed.

"You can't say that, the Han people are not all cowards! Back then, the Han army also entered the grassland, and the fourth prince was defeated by them!" said the Jurchen soldier next to him.

"I also know about that battle, and I don't understand why the fourth prince lost?"

"I think we still underestimate the Han people! The Han people may not be as weak as we imagined! If they were so weak, it would be impossible to defeat the fourth prince, and it would be impossible to wipe out all our 200,000 troops in the Central Plains! Perhaps, the Han people Much stronger than we imagined!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't you know that 'the Jurchens are invincible'? We Jurchens, as long as the number of Jurchens exceeds 10,000, even if there are a million Han people, they are not our opponents!"

The two soldiers were discussing here, and there were voices of discussion everywhere on the city wall!

Yeluyun had also walked up the city wall at this moment, and his mouth still smelled of alcohol. In fact, not only that, many Jurchen generals smelled of alcohol, and many female generals had expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces.

"General, why did you call us out so late?" A commander asked with his body crooked and his drunken eyes dim.

"The Song army may have appeared! So we have to be careful!" Yeluyun said.

"General, this is impossible, the Song people are cowardly and incompetent, and dare not show up!" the commander said.

"We all understand this truth, but we are not afraid of 10,000, just in case." Yeluyun said.

"The general is too cautious in using his troops! Admire, admire!" The commander laughed.

Yeluyun also smiled and nodded, at this moment, his eyes suddenly flashed!

There was a faint light in the distance, Yeluyun thought he was wrong, but soon, he realized that he was right!

There are more and more bright lights in the distance. At first glance, it looks like stars in the sky. It wasn't long before Yeluyun realized that it was a "fire dragon", a fire dragon formed by continuous pieces of torches!

The number of these fire dragons is more than ten miles, and Yeluyun can't see the end at all!

Standing on the city wall, Yeluyun suddenly felt sweaty and trembling!

When he was in the state government office, he looked down on the Han people and the Song army, but when he saw the fire dragon, he realized that he was extremely scared in his heart! In the past seven years, the Song Army has repeatedly defeated the Jin Bing, and the strength of the Song Army has spread throughout the north! The arrogance in the hearts of countless Jurchens is nothing but a self-deceiving mentality! Just like in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the foreigners repeatedly defeated the Qing army, but the Qing monarchs and ministers still regarded themselves as the kingdom of heaven and were still arrogant, but when the foreigners came, they fled one after another! At this moment, the Jurchen also has the same mentality!

The city wall became quiet, and all the Jurchens looked into the distance in horror!

"There are at least 100,000 troops! We only have 8,000 people, and we are absolutely no match for the Song Army! Go, get out of here quickly! The Song Army is like last time, and they took the initiative to kill on the grassland! The fourth prince led countless elite soldiers They are not their opponents, let alone us! Evacuate Bei'an Prefecture immediately!" Yeluyun shouted loudly.

"Run away! Run away!"

"Why are there so many Han Chinese? Bei'an Prefecture will be destroyed, flee immediately!"

Shouts are everywhere on the walls!

Yeluyun has already hurriedly arrived under the city wall, and some soldiers brought the horse, and Yeluyun rode the horse towards the north gate of the city! There are mountains to the south, mountains to the east, and the Song Army to the west. Now the only way to escape is to go north!

Numerous Jurchen soldiers also ran down one after another, some of them fled directly towards the north city gate, but more people still went to look for war horses! Although the torch dragons of the Song Army seem not far away from here, in fact they should still be ten miles away, and they have plenty of time to ride their horses!

A quarter of an hour later, half of the Jurchen soldiers rushed towards the city gate! After another quarter of an hour, there were less than a thousand Jurchen soldiers left in the city!

Yeluyun walked in a hurry at first, but he stopped after a while, until the army from behind arrived, and he fled north with the army!

His wife and children are still in Bei'an Prefecture, but now he doesn't care about his wife and children at all, he only cares about his own safety!

There were about 6,000 soldiers by his side, and he had just walked ten miles north, when there was a sound of shouting and killing, and countless Song soldiers rushed out from around!

It turned out that the main force of the Song army led by Li Xianzhong did indeed come from Zhengxi, but he had already set up an ambush in the north, and more than 30,000 crossbowmen were waiting here for the arrival of the Jurchens!

Bows and arrows rained like rain, and screams came from the Jurchen army!

The Jurchens didn't dare to fight at all, they just wanted to escape!

Yeluyun was terrified at the moment, and it took another half an hour before he escaped from the ambush, with less than 3,000 Jurchen soldiers left beside him!

Yeluyun and the 3,000 Jurchen soldiers continued to head north, and soon they came to Sixiang Ridge. After arriving here, Yeluyun was careful, lest there was an ambush here, he sent people to investigate in advance!

But he was a little relieved that he didn't meet Song Jun all the way through here!

Afterwards, the Jurchen army came to the area of ​​Modou Ridge. It was not until the sky was about to light up that the Jurchen 3,000 troops came to the north of Modou Ridge!

Continuing to the north from here is a flat area, and not far away is the vast grassland. After arriving here, Yeluyun heaved a sigh of relief!

"It seems that the Song army has just arrived, and it is too late to chase us! Moreover, the Song army is all infantry, no cavalry! Nothing to worry about! After I return to Zhongjing, I will tell Yan Chang and the fourth prince that our Jurchen army is going south with all our strength. , the Han people can only die!" Yeluyun secretly said.

It was getting slightly brighter, and the three thousand Jurchen soldiers were exhausted, and some even took a nap on their horses!

The ground became more and more flat, and Yeluyun's heart became more and more relaxed. Only then did he think of his wife and children, and he felt a little worried.

However, at this moment, there was a loud shout of killing in the distance!

The endless Song Army cavalry on the opposite side are coming here like a torrent!

In front, countless cavalry soldiers of the Song Army had already raised their bows and arrows, and with an order, all the bows and arrows shot towards the Jurchen ahead!

There was another scream in the Jurchen army!

They have no defense, and no one organizes a counterattack! Only a few Jurchens picked up their bows and arrows and shot towards the opposite side! But the number of the Song army on the opposite side is really too many, all the Song army on the opposite side are mainly riding and shooting, and the bows and arrows on the opposite side cover the sky and the sun, and almost half of the Jurchens fell in an instant!

Before the huge Song army on the opposite side rushed over, there were less than a thousand Jurchens left!

At this moment, the two sides finally officially played against each other!

Yeluyun has also been hit by an arrow, but it's not at the critical point! Seeing Song Jun rushing, he was slightly relieved!

"The Han people are indeed Han people! If they keep shooting arrows at each other, we will die! But now they charge forward! The Han people will never win against us Jurchen, and we still have a chance to escape!" Yeluyun secretly said.

However, in just a moment, he felt that his world view was collapsing! The combat power of the Song army is beyond imagination. The comparison between the Song army and the Jurchen army is like the Jurchens and Khitans in the Wanyan Aguda era. The soldiers on both sides are not of the same level at all. The soldiers of the Song army are stronger than the Jurchen soldiers. too much! The soldiers of the Song Army have been training day and night for many years, especially the cavalry of the Song Army are the elite of the elite. Only the soldiers with the best performance can enter the cavalry. Most of the cavalry are veterans who have fought for more than six years. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, training every day, never stopping! From Guanshan to the Central Plains and Yanyun, every soldier has experienced hundreds of battles, and the weaker ones have been eliminated by the war and died on the battlefield. Every remaining soldier is the best of the best. The quality of individual soldiers has far surpassed the Jurchen soldiers who spend their days and nights!

Yeluyun gritted his teeth and rushed forward!

A soldier of the Song army rushed forward, and he moved forward with a knife. The knife in the hand of the soldier of the Song army was cut off. He was about to continue to slash at the soldiers of the Song army. Let's attack him together! Yeluyun is tired of fighting!

Seemingly noticing Yeluyun's high martial arts skills, a general of the Song Army who was around screamed, and the soldiers of the Song Army retreated immediately. Yeluyun just breathed a sigh of relief when more soldiers of the Song Army rushed forward!

The cavalry of the Song army are all composed of light cavalry. They are equipped with four weapons, a bow for long-range shooting, a bow for short-range shooting, spears for charging, and swords for close combat. At this moment, dozens of soldiers of the Song army raised their hands The spears rushed towards Yeluyun in front! Soldiers from the Song army joined forces on the left and right, raised their spears and charged towards Yeluyun!

Yeluyun chopped off a few long spears, but more spears had already been inserted into his body, he screamed again and again, and finally closed his eyes.

"Xianzhong asked me to guard here, saying that the worst case scenario is that all eight thousand Jurchen defenders will come here, but now it seems that there are only three thousand!" Li Yanxian stood among the Jurchen corpses and muttered.

After a while, a few soldiers of the Song army came on horseback from the opposite mountain. They reported the battle situation in Bei'an Prefecture to Li Yanxian, and Li Yanxian finally confirmed his thoughts!

"With an army of 170,000 to wipe out 8,000 Jurchens, it would be a shame if they couldn't wipe them all out! Fortunately, no Jurchens can escape!" Li Yanxian showed a smile on his face.

"General Li, the commander-in-chief said that the next battle will be Zezhou! There are 10,000 defenders in Zezhou, but only one or two thousand of them are Jurchens, and the rest are newly attached troops or slave troops composed of Khitan and Han people! The commander-in-chief said that Zezhou is only two hundred miles away from Bei'an Prefecture, so the whole army must be attacked by lightning, and the enemy must not have any chance to react, and the enemy troops in Zezhou must not escape! The whole army is divided into three groups, General Li! You can lead 50,000 cavalry to bypass Niushan, march from the north of Niushan towards Zezhou, and attack Shenshan County to the north of Zezhou! The general led 70,000 troops across Niushan and came to Zezhou. General Fu Xuan led 50,000 soldiers The horse passed south of Niushan Mountain and attacked Pucheng County! Then the three armies surrounded Zezhou!" said the soldier who came to report.

He took out Li Xianzhong's military order.

General Li Yanxian received the order, and after a quarter of an hour, 50,000 cavalry roared towards the east.
