Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 488: First Battle of the Northern Expedition

Yeluyun immediately assembled the Jurchen army!

But the night is too dark, and many Jurchen soldiers are sleeping now! It took a full half an hour before the Eight Thousand Jurchen army from Bei'anzhou came to the city wall one after another.

"It's so late, what do you call us all 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 Pass and they are not far from Bei'anzhou, so the general called us out." A Jurchen soldier next to him said.

"The Han people came out of Juyongguan? Didn't they always do turtles? How can they have the courage 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 army of the Han people also entered the grassland, and the four princes were defeated by them!" said the Jurchen soldier next to him.

"I also know that battle, and some don't understand why the Fourth Prince was defeated?"

"I think we still look down on the Han people too much! The Han people may not be as weak as we thought! If they were as weak as they were, it would be impossible to defeat the Fourth Prince, and it would be impossible to annihilate all our 200,000 troops in the Central Plains! Perhaps, the Han people. Much stronger than we thought!"

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

These two soldiers are talking here, and there are talking voices everywhere on the walls!

Yeluyun had already walked up the city wall at this moment, and his mouth was still drunk. In fact, it was not just that many Jurchen generals were drunk, and even the young generals had dissatisfied expressions on their faces.

"General, why did you call us out so late?" said a commander with a crooked body and drunken eyes.

"Song Jun is very likely to have appeared! So we have to be careful!" Ye Luyun said.

"General, this is impossible, the Song people are timid and incompetent, so they dare not show up!" Qianfuchang said.

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

"The general is too cautious in using soldiers! Admire, admire!" Qianfuchang smiled.

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

A faint light appeared in the distance, Yeluyun thought he had read it wrong, but soon he realized that he had not read it wrong!

There was more and more light in the distance, at first glance it looked like the stars in the sky, and it was not long before Yeluyun realized that this was a "fire dragon", a fire dragon formed by continuous torches!

The number of this fire dragon 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 prefecture before, he looked down on the Han and Song Jun, but when he saw the fire dragon, he realized that he was scared to the extreme! In the past seven years, the Song Army has repeatedly defeated the Jin Bing, and the strength of the Song Army has spread to the north! The arrogance in the hearts of countless Jurchens is nothing more than a self-deception mentality! Just like in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, foreigners repeatedly defeated the Qing army, but the monarchs and officials of the Qing Dynasty still regarded themselves as the kingdom of heaven, and were still arrogant, but when the foreigners came, they fled again and again! At the moment, Jurchen also has such a mentality!

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

"There are at least one hundred thousand troops! We have only 8,000 people. We are absolutely not the opponents of the Song Army! Go and leave here quickly! The Song Army took the initiative to kill on the grassland like the last time! The four princes led countless elite soldiers. We are not their opponents, and we are not even more opponents! Leave Bei'anzhou immediately!" Ye Luyun shouted loudly.

"Run away! Run away!"

"How come there are so many Han people? Bei'anzhou must be broken, and immediately flee!"

There are shouts everywhere on the walls!

Yeluyun has hurried to the bottom of the city wall. Some soldiers led the war horse, and Yeluyun rode the war horse towards the north gate of the city! There are mountains to the south, mountains to the east, and Song Army to the west. Now they can only flee to the north!

Countless Jurchen soldiers have also ran down one after another. Some of them have fled directly towards the North City Gate, but more people are still looking for war horses! Although the Song Army’s long torch dragon seems not far from here, in fact they should be ten miles away, and they have plenty of time to ride the horse!

After a quarter of an hour, half of the Jurchen soldiers rushed towards the gate! After another quarter of an hour, fewer than a thousand Jurchen soldiers remained in the city!

Yeluyun walked in a hurry at first, but after a while, he stopped. It was not until the army from behind that he fleeed to the north with the army!

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

There were about 6,000 soldiers beside him. He had just walked ten miles to the north, and there was a shout of killing around him, and countless Song troops rushed out from the surroundings!

It turned out that the main force of the Song Army led by Li Xianzhong did come from the west, but he had already laid ambush in the north, and there were more than 30,000 bowmen waiting for the arrival of Jurchen!

Bows and arrows are like rain, and there is a scream from the Jurchen army!

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

Yeluyun was panicked to the extreme at this moment, and it took another half an hour before he escaped from this ambush. There were only less than three thousand Jurchen soldiers left beside him!

Yeluyun and these three thousand Jurchen soldiers continued to go north, and soon they came to Sixiangling. After arriving here, Yeluyun was cautious, lest there might be an ambush here too, he sent someone to investigate in advance!

But all the way from here, he didn't even meet Song Jun, he was a little relieved!

After that, the Jurchen army came to the Modouling area, until the sky was about to dawn, the Jurchen army of three thousand came to the north of Modouling!

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

"It seems that the Song Army has just arrived, and it is too late to pursue us! Moreover, all the Song Army is infantry, no cavalry! Nothing to worry about! When I return to Zhongjing, I will tell Wan Yan Chang and the Fourth Prince and them that our Jurchen army will go south with all its strength , The Han people have only one dead end!" Yeluyun secretly said.

The sky was faintly bright, and the three thousand Jurchen soldiers were exhausted at the moment, and some even took a nap on horseback!

The ground was getting flatter and flatter, and Ye Luyun'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, the sound of screaming in the distance rang!

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

In the front, countless Song Army cavalry have raised their bows and arrows, and with an order, all the bows and arrows are shot towards the Jurchen ahead!

There is another scream in the Jurchen Army!

They have no defense, and no one organizes a counterattack! Only a few Jurchens took up bows and arrows to shoot towards the opposite side! However, the number of Song troops on the opposite side is too much. All the Song troops on the opposite side are mainly riding and shooting. The bows and arrows on the opposite side cover the sky and the sun. In an instant, almost half of the Jurchens fell down!

Before the huge number of Song troops from the opposite side rushed in, there were only 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 stake! Seeing Song Jun rushing, he breathed a sigh of relief!

"The Han is really a Han! If they keep shooting arrows on the opposite side, we will only have a dead end! But now they take the initiative to come! The Hans can't beat our Jurchen in a fight, and we still have a chance to escape!" Yeluyun secretly said.

However, in just a moment, he felt that his worldview was collapsing! The combat power of the Song Army is beyond imagination. The comparison between the Song Army and the Jurchen Army is just like the Jurchen and Khitan in the Wanyan Aguda era. The soldiers on both sides are not at the same level. 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, especially the cavalry of the Song Army. Only the best soldiers can enter the cavalry. Most of the cavalry are composed of veterans who have been fighting for more than six years. Three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, training every day, never stopped! From Guanshan to 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 an elite of the elite. This way The quality of individual soldiers has far surpassed the Jurchen soldiers who spend time and drink every day!

Yeluyun gritted his teeth and rushed forward!

A soldier of the Song Army rushed forward, and he slashed forward. The knife in the hand of the soldier of the Song Army was cut off. He was about to continue to slash towards the soldier of the Song Army. However, after seeing the scene here, several soldiers of the Song Army around. Attack him together! Yeluyun is tired of the challenge!

It seems that he noticed Yeluyun's high martial arts, and a Song Army general screamed, and these Song Army soldiers immediately retreated. Yeluyun just breathed a sigh of relief, and more Song Army soldiers rushed forward!

The Song Army cavalry were all composed of light cavalry. They were equipped with four weapons, a long-range bow, a close-range bow, a long spear for charging, and a war knife for close combat. At this moment, dozens of Song Army soldiers raised The spears rushed towards Yeluyun ahead together! On the left and right, there were also soldiers of the Song Army united, raising their spears and charging towards Yeluyun!

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

"Xianzhong asked me to guard here, saying that the worst case is that all the eight thousand Jurchen garrisons will come over. Now it seems that there are only three thousand people!" Li Yanxian muttered while standing among the Jurchen's body.

After another while, a few soldiers of the Song Army came on horseback in the opposite mountain. They reported the situation in Bei'anzhou to Li Yanxian, and Li Yanxian confirmed his thoughts!

"With an army of 170,000 to destroy 8,000 Jurchens, it would be too embarrassing if they can't be wiped out! Fortunately, no Jurchen can escape!" A smile appeared on Li Yanxian's face.

"General Li, the marshal said, the next battle is Zezhou! Zezhou has 10,000 defenders, but there are only one or two thousand Jurchens, and the rest are new attached or slave troops composed of Khitan and Han people! The marshal said that Zezhou is only two hundred miles away from Bei'anzhou, so the whole army must strike by lightning. The enemy cannot have any chance to react, and the enemy in Zezhou cannot be allowed to escape! The whole army is divided into three groups, General Li You can lead fifty thousand cavalry to bypass Niushan, marching towards Zezhou from the north of Niushan, and attack Shenshan County to the north of Zezhou! The commander led 70,000 soldiers and horses across Niushan, and the soldiers came to Zezhou, and General Fu Xuan led 50,000 soldiers. The horse passed south of Niu Mountain and attacked Baocheng County! After that, the three armies surrounded Zezhou!" said the soldier who came to report.

He took out Li Xianzhong's military order.

General Li Yanxian took the order, and a quarter of an hour later, fifty thousand cavalry roared towards the east.
