One Piece of Song Dynasty

On the morning of September th, after a night's rest, Jin Wushu led his army to continue on the way to Daizhou. At this time, the Jin Army was only kilometers away from Daizhou. If nothing happens, the Jin Army will arrive at Daizhou at noon today. city.

However, the whereabouts of Jin Wushu's army did not hide from Li Shifu's sight. Li Shifu led five thousand cavalry before and was ordered to come to Daizhou. After arriving at Daizhou, he found that Daizhou had closed its city gates. Li Shifu withdrew when he saw that there was no chance of taking Daizhou. , but Li Shifu did not go far, he just hid in the mountains south of Daizhou. There is absolutely no problem hiding five thousand cavalry in the south of Daizhou near Mount Wutai.

After Li Shifu hid, he has been paying attention to the main road from Taiyuan to Daizhou. Today, he can be regarded as waiting for Jin Wushu. In fact, Wanyan Zongxian, who is located in Daizhou City, discovered traces of Song Army cavalry near Daizhou and sent people He went out of the city to notify Jin Wushu, but these people were quietly intercepted by Li Shifu's people, so Jin Wushu didn't know that he had been targeted by Li Shifu.

After Li Shifu discovered Jin Wushu's army, he gathered his cavalry and prepared to launch a surprise attack on the Jin army. Qu Duan, who was behind the Jin army, also faced a choice at this time.

Yue Yun rode his horse and reported to Qu Duanhui: "Shuai Qu, Daizhou is not far ahead. The Jin army estimates that it will arrive at Daizhou at noon today, and our army will also arrive at Daizhou in the afternoon. We can't wait any longer. If you wait any longer, you won’t have a chance.”

Qu Duan sighed and said: "I originally wanted to wait for the friendly forces to arrive and attack the Jin army together. Now it seems that the friendly forces can't come, so we have to do it ourselves. We can't let Jin Wushu return to Datong safely. General Yue You lead cavalry to quietly approach the Jin army, and then launch an attack on the Jin army. Try to be as unexpected as possible, so as to maximize the results. A certain infantry army will catch up with you as soon as possible."

Yue Yun cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Qu Shuai."

At this time, Jin Wushu was still leading the army towards Daizhou in a leisurely manner. Jin Wushu had learned about the fall of Lingqiu the day before. He knew that the Song army had already come towards Daizhou, and Lingqiu was far away. Daizhou is nearly miles away, and it would take the Song Army three days at the fastest to reach Daizhou. However, even if the Song Army arrived at Daizhou, they would not be able to catch up with him. Jin Wushu had decided to rest in Daizhou today and rest for the night tomorrow. Heading towards Datong, as long as he reaches Datong, he can reorganize his army and fight again, and when he reaches Datong, he does not have to worry about his retreat. Datong can get a lot of support from Dajin, and there is room for dealing with the Song army.

Just when Jin Wushu was thinking about things, a sudden commotion broke out in the front army. It turned out that Li Shifu led the cavalry to suddenly attack the Jin army. In the past few days, the Jin army had been walking in front with infantry, and the cavalry was behind. Jin Wushu was I was afraid of any crisis in the rear, so I placed the cavalry at the rear just in case. As a result, there was no problem at the rear, but there was a problem at the front.

It has to be said that the advantage of cavalry over infantry is too great, not to mention that it was a sudden attack. The Jin Army's infantry had no time to form a defensive formation. Li Shifu led five thousand cavalry into the Jin Army and rushed left and right, killing them.

When Jin Wushu saw this situation, he immediately ordered: "Don't panic, this group of Song Army cavalry is not very large. Han Chang, you go and command the front army to hold back the Song Army cavalry. Gao Song, go and tell General Sa Lihe to lead him." Come with the cavalry to attack the Song Army's cavalry and destroy this group of cavalry. Nie Li Bei Jin, you can quickly go to Daizhou with your troops to inform Zongxian and ask him to send people out of the city to attack the Song Army."

After some arrangements, several people took their orders and left. Sa Lihe, who quickly received the news, led his cavalry to the forward army. Li Shifu, who was rushing among the Jin army, also discovered the traces of the Jin army's cavalry. In addition, this At that time, the Song Army's cavalry was losing momentum among the Jin Army's infantry, so Li Shifu commanded the cavalry to retreat with a greeting.

Yue Yun saw the abnormal behavior of the Jin Army. At this time, he was looking for an opportunity to raid the Jin Army. The departure of the Jin Army's cavalry gave Yue Yun the opportunity. Upon discovering the situation, Yue Yun immediately commanded the cavalry to charge forward.

After Salihe rushed to the front army, Li Shifu had just withdrawn with his cavalry. Salihe looked at the retreating Song army in the distance and gritted his teeth and said: "Chase them all, I will never let go of this group of Song troops today."

In the front, Sa Lihe chased Li Shifu, and in the rear, Yue Yun led the cavalry and began to attack the Jin army's rear army. Jin Wushu, who discovered the situation, assigned Wan Yanliang to command the rear army to resist Yue Yun's cavalry and sent people to pursue Sa Li's cavalry. Li drink.

However, Yue Yun's cavalry charge was very fierce. Before Wan Yanliang arrived, the rear army showed signs of disintegration. When Wan Yanliang arrived at the rear army, some people had already fled.

After Qu Duan, who was following Yue Yun, learned that Yue Yun had led his army to charge forward, he also accelerated his marching speed.

After learning that the front army was fine, Jin Wushu directed the middle army to support the rear army. After receiving the news, Sa Lihe, who was chasing Li Shifu, began to return for rescue.

After Sa Lihu retreated, Li Shifu took a look and did not dare to pursue him. He was afraid of an ambush. However, Li Shifu still sent people back to investigate. When he learned that the Jin Army's rear army was in chaos, Li Shifu once again led the cavalry to attack the Jin Army's front army. Rush away.

As the Jin Army's infantry increased, the momentum of Yue Yun's cavalry gradually weakened. Once the cavalry momentum weakened, it would be the beginning of disaster unless the troops were withdrawn as soon as possible.

As Yue Yun's cavalry and the Jin army gradually formed a stalemate, the situation became increasingly unfavorable to Yue Yun. The Jin army also took advantage of this time to recover its morale. However, at this time, Qu Duan led the follow-up army to arrive in time.

With the addition of tens of thousands of Song Army infantry, the Jin Army, which had gradually gained the upper hand, suddenly fell into decline. Now the Jin Army's rear army was completely unable to hold on and was in chaos.

Jin Wushu, who was commanding the central army to support the rear army, knew that the rear army was completely destroyed when he saw this, so he quickly commanded the central army to separate from the rear army and move closer to the front army. At this time, Sa Lihe had just led his army back, and Jin Wushu called him to stop him. Said: "Don't go, the rear army is finished. We will quickly move closer to Daizhou with the remaining troops."

So Jin Wushu began to command the army to move closer to Daizhou. However, Li Shifu led the army back again and gave Jin Wushu a heads-up. However, because Sa Lihe was nearby, Li Shifu rushed to kill for a while and then withdrew his troops.

Wanyan Zongxian, who received Jin Wushu's order in Daizhou City, immediately assembled his army and marched out of the city to meet Jin Wushu. When he met Jin Wushu, Wanyan Zongxian said: "Marshal, hurry into the city."

Jin Wushu shook his head and said, "No more going in. If you leave the city, you will bring out all the troops in the city."

Wanyan Zongxian replied: "No, I only gathered five thousand people and came out."

Jin Wushu said: "Then you go quickly and bring out the remaining troops. We will go directly north to Datong through Yanmen Pass. Daizhou cannot stop here. I will lead the army to Yanmen Pass first. You can gather the troops and come here."

Wanyan Zongxian nodded and said, "Yes, Marshal."
