Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

After all, the Jin army is stronger than the Song army, which has been verified through countless frontal battles.

However, people always have limitations, and it is easy to ignore that things are developing.

Wanyan Po Luhuo's scouts did not find Song Jun's whereabouts. He thought that Song Jun was far away and would not rush to the battlefield quickly.

After all, for war horses, if they want to charge quickly, they are usually within 200 meters.

Who eats too much and runs like crazy on the road?

Therefore, the ancient cavalry marched almost 100 miles a day.

Known as the strongest cavalry regiment, the Mongolian cavalry, when they raided Russia over a long distance, they marched only about 180 miles a day.

why?

Because a fucking warhorse is a carbon based creature, not a fueled machine.

Unless you don't plan to use it for a long time after this batch is used up.

"Report!" Even the horses were exhausted when the scout was there, "Report! Dutong! Song... the Song army is coming! The rear of our army was defeated by the Song army..."

"What!" Wanyan Po Luhuo was shocked, "Why did you report it now?"

"The Song army came too fast, and penetrated the rear of our army as soon as it came!"

"A lazy idiot!" Wanyan Polu scolded furiously.

He immediately ordered the whole army to attack, with the kidnapper as the vanguard, and quickly assaulted the Song army.

The kidnapper horse of the Jin army was dispatched, about [-] cavalry, galloping forward mightily.

And then, the battle situation was definitely beyond Wanyan Po Luhuo's expectations, and it was also far beyond Ah Lan's expectations.

Next, the Song Army launched three consecutive attacks on the Jin Army's formation.

The number of the Golden Army itself was only 2000. After several rounds of shocks, the entire army almost collapsed.

Even the former army with the strongest defense has lost its morale.

Ah Laan brought two hundred cavalry and planned to escape, but was quickly intercepted halfway, and he himself was captured alive.

By the time the cavalry from Wanyan Poluhuo arrived, Ah Laan's army had already been routed.

The vanguard who attacked the city was defeated by the Song army because of the main force, and he had already retreated.

Wanyan Po Luhuo only saw the corpses of the Jin army all over the ground, and heard the cavalry of the Song army shouting arrogantly not far away.

This scene directly caused Wanyan Po Luhuo's blood pressure to soar.

Relying on the strength of the number of people and the fact that the Song Army was a little tired just after the battle, he immediately ordered the entire army to kill the Song Army.

Yao Zheng was also unambiguous, and ran away with the people.

From the end of May, when Zhang Xian crossed the Yellow River and rampaged in Hejian Mansion, Wanyan Po Luhuo sent scouts and small cavalry to look for the Song army.

But after searching for more than ten days, the news I received was a hundred different. Some said that Song Jun was here, and some said that Song Jun was there.

Now that Song Jun has finally been lured out, and seeing Ah Lan's defeat, how could Wanyan Po Luhuo give up.

So, the next two sides started a chase on the endless plain.

Jin Jun: Don't run away!Don't run away!

Song Jun: Come on!Come and chase me!As long as you catch me!I'll let you hehehe!

Of course, it is impossible for the two sides to pursue that kind of charge-style pursuit, which will not last long. Only people who talk about military affairs on paper will think that cavalry chasing cavalry is all about galloping.

About half an hour later, Zhang Xian got the latest information.

"Report, Dutong!" The scout said excitedly, "After our army defeated the Jin Army's siege vanguard in Shucheng County, we have successfully withdrawn. Now the main force of the Jin Army is chasing Yao Zhengbu!"

"Good!" Zhang Xian was overjoyed.

In fact, Zhang Xian is not sure that the main force of the Jin army will definitely appear.

This is a probability event, but almost everything in the world is a probability event.

The main force of the Jin army may appear. After all, Zhang Xian concentrated the battlefield in Shucheng County, and the Jin army sent the front troops to attack the city.

It seems that Ah Laan attracted the cavalry of the Song Army, but in fact it was Liang Xing and others who attracted the front troops of the Jin Army. Secondly, Yao Zheng attracted the main force of the Jin Army when he defeated A Lazy.

Many times, you think you are the hunter, but you are really just the prey.

The war is not over yet, and it should be said that the real decisive battle has just begun.

Zhang Xian led [-] cavalry and began to advance in the direction of the Jin army.

All parties began to launch mobile operations on the great plain of Hejian Prefecture.

This is a war in which only cavalry are qualified to participate.

However, the threshold for this kind of cavalry warfare is not low, and whoever owns as many cavalry is not the most powerful.

In ancient times, there were no walkie-talkies or positioning systems, so scouts were especially important at this time.

Back then Li Guang was difficult to seal, because when he was beating the Huns, he lost his way.

Huo Qubing's cavalry, on the other hand, is usually equipped with a global positioning system, which is also part of hard power!

Looking at the vast plain, Zhang Xian was not in a hurry. Now that the elite cavalry of the Jin army had been drawn out and out of the cover of the infantry, the next step was much less difficult.

I don't know what the wind is, but when it was getting dark, Yao Zheng suddenly changed direction and marched towards Hejian City.

Knowing that Yao Zheng changed direction, Wanyan Po Luhuo had no choice but to change direction.

In fact, in the afternoon, the Jin army tried several times to charge and chase the Song army, but all ended in failure, and the two sides fell into a seesaw state.

After it was completely dark, both sides stopped their actions, but at the same time prevented the other side from raiding.

Only then did Zhang Xian learn that Yao Zheng had changed direction and headed west.

It was already dark and he was forced to stop and rest.

But the scouts still didn't stop.

It should be said that the scouts from the three parties did not stop.

In the early morning of June [-], Yao Zhengbu got up and continued to advance westward, which made the Jin army also feel puzzled.

At noon, the scouts came to report: "Report! Zhang Dutong, Yao Zhengbu is heading towards the Junziguan."

"Gentlemen's Pavilion?"

Chapter 704 The Battle of the Gentleman's Pavilion (Second Change)

The Junzi Pavilion is famous in the history of the Song Dynasty.

But that's not a good name.

Hejian Mansion, one of the three towns in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Three Towns of the Northern Song Dynasty was the depth of military defense that was forced to build in the Hebei area after the Yongxi Northern Expedition failed and the Great Song Dynasty failed to take back Yanyun.

And there is a place in the northwest of Hejian Mansion called Junziguan, where the battle of Junziguan once took place.

As a result of the Battle of the Gentleman's Pavilion, tens of thousands of Song troops were annihilated, and Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi's last dignity to the Liao Kingdom was trampled to pieces.

The Battle of the Gentleman's Pavilion was a retaliatory attack by the Liao Kingdom on the Song Dynasty after the failure of the two Northern Expeditions of the Song Dynasty.

It was a landmark event, a military watershed in the Song Dynasty, and the beginning of the national defense strategy shifting from offense to defense.

The foundation of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty was quite solid. The two Northern Expeditions of Chariots lost a lot of elites, but there were still tens of thousands of elite imperial troops, and there were many cavalry.

In the battle of the Gentleman's Pavilion, all these elites were lost, and Zhao Kuangyin lost almost all the elites of the Forbidden Army that Zhao Kuangyin had painstakingly managed back then.

The battle between Song and Liao did not really stop until after the Chanyuan alliance.

But it is true that tens of thousands of Han men were buried in the Junzi Pavilion.

It is said that in the 21st century, someone dug up many bones near the Junzi Pavilion, which were the remains of the Song army who died in battle.

This is enough to illustrate the importance of Hejianfu's strategy.

There is an important town like Taiyuan in the land of Hedong, and a mountainous area like Taihang Mountain will naturally prevent nomads.

On the contrary, the flat plain like Hejian Mansion was the place where the northern barbarians mainly attacked.

Zhang Xian soon understood why Yao Zheng would go to the Gentleman's Pavilion.

Junzi Pavilion is on the bank of Hutuo River.

The Hutuo River in this section flows longitudinally from southwest to northeast, which is equivalent to blocking the progress of the cavalry westward.

Did Yao Zheng want to cut off the Jin army's retreat to the west and compress the Jin army to fight in the area of ​​the Gentleman's Pavilion?

At noon on the [-]th, Wanyan Po Luhuo's scouts detected Yao Zheng's whereabouts and reported to him.

Wanyan Po Luhuo immediately marched towards the Junzi Pavilion without saying a word.

The afternoon sun was extremely hot, and the farmers in the crop fields by the Hutuo River were still harvesting their crops.

Yao Zheng is also from Hebei, but he is from Xiangzhou, Hebei.

Seeing the farmland by the Hutuo River, he couldn't help feeling: "Many fields in Hejian Mansion are deserted, what a pity!"

Another soldier named Lu Lin also said with emotion: "Because in the first year of Jingkang, some people were either taken away by the Jin people, died, or moved south. Not many people stayed, which is already very good."

"Oh, how do you know?"

"Xiaguan is from Hejian!" Lu Lin smiled helplessly, "When the Jin army went south, Xiaguan was only 15 years old. Things are different, and the local farmers have suffered a lot these years, and the taxes in the Kingdom of Jin are much heavier than those in the Song Dynasty."

Yao Zheng didn't talk too much with Lu Lin. Knowing that Jin Jun hadn't followed up, Yao Zheng left scouts and asked everyone to go to the river to take a bath to relieve fatigue, and let the horses drink water.

Half an hour later, when the scouts came to report, the soldiers had all rested and were gathering quickly.

A soldier named Zhang Cheng was dressing quickly when he suddenly found a boy in front of the field looking at him curiously.

"Boy, go home quickly, there is going to be a war here!" Zhang Cheng called out to the young man, then picked up the iron bone that was placed beside him, and began to put on his armor.

The young man didn't seem to be afraid, and walked over, even more curious: "Who are you going to hit?"

"Gold thief!"

"Is it those who come to our village every day to collect food?"

Zhang Cheng thought for a while and said, "That's right! Just hit them!"

"After beating them, will anyone go to the village to collect food?"

Zhang Cheng thought for a while and said, "There will still be more, but very few. You will plant the fields yourself in the future."

"Who said that?" The boy became visibly excited.

"The emperor said that day."

"Who is the Son of Heaven?"

"The Son of Heaven is the Emperor!"

After Zhang Cheng put on his armor, he got on his horse and said, "Go back quickly!"

After speaking, he turned around and went to assemble the large army.

The horn in front has already sounded, indicating that the golden man is not far away.

Sure enough, according to intelligence, Wanyan Po Luhuo's people are only a few miles away from here.

Soon, the cavalry regiments in the fields could be seen with the naked eye.

"Report! Song Jun is ahead!"

Wanyan Po Lu Huo said: "I saw it! These Song dogs can't escape!"

"Dutong, this place seems to be a gentleman's house." An aide reminded Wanyan Po Luhuo.

"What kind of gentleman's hall is not a gentleman's hall!"

"Back then when Song and Liao fought here, tens of thousands of Song troops were annihilated and died here." The staff member looked around and saw a high raised place covered with grass.

The years have erased the traces of war, and the gold and iron horses of the year have all turned into

He pointed there and said: "I heard that it is buried there, tens of thousands of Song soldiers!"

Wanyan Po Luhuo froze for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay! This is another omen sent down by the heavens to let the Song army be wiped out here. After killing them, cut off their heads and pile them there for them to kill." Look at your own people!"

"Huh? Dutong, look, Song Jun is not quite right!"

"What's wrong?"
