The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Wanyan Zongbi looked at Wanyanchang in front of him with a ferocious expression.

In terms of seniority, Wanyan Zongbi should be called Uncle Wanyanchang, because Wanyanchang is Wanyan Aguda's cousin.

However, in terms of his military position, Wan Yanchang was his subordinate. At this moment, he was fighting the biggest defeat since the Jurchen army started. He deserved to be killed.

Wan Yanchang closed his eyes, filled with regret. On the way back, he seemed to have had a dream, and his mind was in a daze. It was not until he returned to camp that he suddenly realized what mistake he had made.

I was too underestimating the enemy, too careless and proud. I usually thought about the lion fighting the rabbit of the second prince Wanyan Zongwang, and I tried my best, but I could only get the skinny. I thought I could do it, and I was even complacent. In fact, it was a big mistake.

From the beginning of the expedition, Wanyan Zongbi planned to send Tiefu Tu directly to Zhuxian Town, so he should accept it. After all, the number of troops reported by the scouts may be more than 100,000, which is too many and is almost the same as the total number of his own soldiers.

At this time, only the iron pagoda is the safest way, and there won't be any accidents. But he always thinks that if the Jurchens are less than ten thousand, they will be invincible. The battle was easily resolved, and in the end only 20,000 people were brought.

But during the battle, I saw that the opponent's cavalry was only a few thousand, and I began to underestimate the enemy. I didn't send all 20,000 cavalry to outflank, but only sent a similar number. I was still a little confused and felt that there was no way. Necessary, I still think that if there are less than ten thousand Jurchens, they are invincible. One can fight ten, or even one fights one hundred.

But the result was that the same number of cavalry fought against each other, and they all suffered heavy losses. As soon as the opponent's reinforcements arrived, they faced each other in pairs, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

The myth that the Jurchens were invincible was shattered in one battle.

The opponent didn't use any tricks or fortifications. Although the armor and weapons were a little weird, they actually defeated Jurchen Erlang.

Wan Yanchang closed his eyes tightly, lowered his head slightly, and said nothing.

Wanyan Zongbi looked at him for a while and took a deep breath. He wanted to kill Wanyanchang directly, but the other party was his cousin after all, so after thinking about it, he left it to Wanyanwu to make the final decision.

"Put it down!"

Two soldiers came up and escorted Wan Yanchang away. There was no one else in the tent. Wanyan Zongbi pulled out his sword and struck hard at the wooden case. With just one blow, the big case "clicked" from the two sections, and all the things placed there fell out. Fall to the ground.

His arms were shaking slightly, his face was extremely ugly, his emotions were fluctuating violently, and the golden body of the Jurchen army was broken.

After this battle, it was no longer possible to mention any invincible slogans. The slogans that were originally majestic and intimidating to the enemy seemed to have become a joke if they were mentioned again at this time.

The current plan is to destroy this Song army as quickly as possible in the shortest time, in order to minimize the impact, and maybe save... the Jurchens' reputation for being invincible.

The original plan was to only send Tiefutu there, but now it seems that it is inappropriate. Half of the troops must be divided to ensure that everything is safe!
Wanyan Zongbi's eyes shot out cold light, and he secretly made a decision in his heart...

The next day, a big battle started in Zhuxian Town. On the plains, tens of thousands of troops fought fiercely. Heavy armored cavalry, light cavalry, rifles, rifles, rifle hammers, infantry arrows, and infantry artillery were all mixed together.

At this time, ordnance is not of much use, because the enemy and we are separated, and things such as bed crossbows cannot be used.

The array of the Iron Buddha is different from that of the Iron Kites. The Iron Kites have a team of 300 people, but the Iron Buddha has a team of fifty people.

Iron Harrier's men and horses were locked together and could only move forward. The men were dead and the horses were still charging.

However, one person in Tiefutu retreated and the entire team was killed.

In a simple heavy armor attack, it is difficult to say whether the formations of the two are good or bad, but for the rattan armor hook sickle soldiers, a team of fifty people in the Iron Buddha is easier to defeat than a team of three hundred people in the Iron Kites, because a single team can defeat them. There were fewer people in the team, and each team opened some gaps, so the pressure on the Tengjia Army was naturally much less.

Moreover, the iron pagoda man and horse are not locked. Unlike the Tie Yaozi, the horse still rushes forward with huge inertia after the iron pagoda man dies. When the iron pagoda man falls to the ground, the horse's weight is suddenly reduced by several hundred kilograms, and the inertia of the forward collision is no longer It's so big, but it's worse than an iron kite.

The only bad thing is that there are too many iron pagodas at the moment, there are tens of thousands of people, and the iron kites that the rattan armor hook sickle soldiers defeated in Hexi at that time only had three thousand riders.

The battle lasted from noon to afternoon, and then to nearly dusk.

Although Tiefu Tu was not as good as Tie Yao in various ways, it persisted longer than Tie Yao. The Jurchen light armor was protected on both wings, and it required more coordination than Tie Yao when Tie Yao only moved forward alone.

As the sun sets, a huge fireball of red, yellow, and rouge colors slowly falls, the ancient horn sounds, and a tragic tune rises above the battlefield.

The blood on the ground has coagulated and dried up, and the corpses of the dead soldiers can be seen as far as the eye can see, with broken halberds and broken guns, showing the sadness and tragedy of this battle everywhere.

Zhao Yu was riding on a horse, with Zhe Hanmei beside him, listening to the flag soldiers reporting the results of the inventory.

Almost all the Jin army was wiped out. 10,000 heavy armored soldiers and nearly 60,000 other soldiers were killed in front of Zhuxian Town, and their own side also lost more than 40,000.

This time it was more and less, no better than the previous 20,000 vs. 20,000 when Ruda waited. This time, nearly 140,000 horses beat the opponent's 60,000, but they lost about 40,000. The victory was also a miserable victory.

The reason is naturally that the opponent has more iron pagodas than last time. Although the iron pagodas were wiped out, there is no way that our side will not be harmed at all. What's more, the opponent is well prepared this time and has no intention of underestimating the enemy. The tactics have been improved. It is not easy to make adjustments and win.

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes and was silent for a long time after listening to the report of the flag soldiers. These 140,000 people were the 100,000 he brought from Hexi. He collected some rebels along the way, as well as the 20,000 rebels sent by the Zhejia and the rebels he also received. , this time he lost nearly one-third of his troops, which was his biggest loss since he led the army.

Fortunately, Liu Suiyun from the other side of Xihe is arriving soon. Judging from the message delivered by the other party, he will reach Zhuxian Town at the earliest on the eve of today and at the latest on tomorrow morning.

Now there are only more than 50,000 Jurchen soldiers left under the city of Tokyo. It is impossible to continue to attack the city, but it is not possible to completely escape and retreat to the other side of the Yellow River or even Yandi, because there are still Wanyan Zonghan's 100,000 soldiers and horses on Hedong Road.

At first, Zhao Tong's plan was to take advantage of the victory and attack Tokyo City directly, but it seems difficult to realize it at this moment, because the battle in Zhuxian Town has been fought for too long, and it is already dusk. If he gets to Tokyo City, it will be dark. Not to mention the difficulty of fighting, the army is still tired. If Wanyan Zongbi is ambushed, the boat will capsize in the gutter and all the previous achievements will be wasted.

He thought for a moment and ordered some soldiers to clean the battlefield, while others had a meal and rest, waiting for news from the scouts ahead.

After dinner, I sat in the tent drinking tea and chatting with the Ori family siblings. Scouts began to report back. The Jurchen soldiers in Tokyo did not withdraw directly. The tent was still there, but it did not look like it was too tightly protected. The detective patrolling the outer area.

After hearing this, Zhao Tong knew that Wanyan Zongbi was making a last-ditch effort to show the illusion to the scouts. He was betting that he was impatient and wanted to finish the job in one fell swoop and rush directly to the gates of Tokyo, where many traps and ambushes might have been prepared.

He shook his head. This was actually a matter of thought. Most people would probably do this. Although the soldiers were tired after a day of fighting, their morale was high after all, and the number of men and horses was a multiple of the opponent's, so they were able to seize the opportunity to pursue the victory.

Zhe Zhigang said: "Your Majesty, isn't it a good time to pursue us at night?"

Zhao Tong glanced at him but said nothing. Zhe Zhiwu hesitated and asked, "Is there any ambush?"

Zhe Hanmei looked at his two younger brothers and shook his head slightly: "Normally, the opponent is so defeated, and knowing that our troops are more powerful than them, Tokyo City can send troops to attack from both sides later. If everything is unfavorable, they will definitely evacuate overnight. If not, If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, so there must be an ambush, and we are planning to make a comeback! "

Zhao Tong nodded: "Hanmei's analysis is right, no wonder the old general asked you to come with him." Zhe Zhigang immediately blushed with shame, Zhao Tong looked at him and said: "Sanlang is still too impatient, but battlefield experience is accumulated. As the saying goes, one learns from the experience, no one is born to fight, think more about everything, don't rush forward when your head is hot. "

Zhe Zhigang immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty has taught you the right lesson.

Zhao Tong pressed his hands and was about to speak when suddenly Bai Zhan came over from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, my second brother is back."

Um? Zhao Tong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Bai Ao is back?

Before leaving Tokyo that day, he sent Ding Daxie to Huang Jue and Bai Ao to Yao Pingzhong. During this expedition, he asked Liu Suiyun to meet Yao Pingzhong at Xihe. Now Bai Ao has arrived. Is it Liu Suiyun's? Are the troops not far away?
"Call him over."

"It's the prince!"

Bai Zhan went out for a moment and saw Bai Ao knocking on the tent door and coming in. Then he threw himself to the ground: "Your Majesty, my subordinate came back late. I haven't served you for two years. Is everything okay, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Tong looked at him: "Why are you still fat?"

Bai Ao said: "...Well, General Yao takes his subordinates to eat and drink every day, so he has gained some weight."

Zhao Tong touched his chin: "Where are Liu Duhu and the others now?"

Bai Ao said: "My subordinates have arrived at Wei County before departure. At this moment, they are less than thirty miles away from Zhuxian Town."

Zhao Tong glanced at the hourglass: "It's a good time to come now. Let's have a night's rest, and we'll be ready to send troops to Tokyo tomorrow morning..."

One night passed in the blink of an eye, and on the morning of the next day, after joining forces with Liu Suiyun, nearly 150,000 or 60,000 troops arrived directly outside Tokyo.

The place where the Jin soldiers originally camped was in a mess and deserted. Apparently Wanyan Zongbi saw that Zhao Tong was not fooled last night and led his troops to evacuate early today.

At this time, the city wall of Tokyo was badly damaged, and the largest gap was almost two to three feet long. If the city of Tokyo were not so tall and wide, and placed elsewhere, one could almost enter the city directly along this way.

At this moment, many people in the city were looking around. Among them, Li Gang and Wu Jie recognized Zhao Tong. Li Gang was a court official. Wu Jie had once conquered Fangla with the Western Army and had met Zhao Tong.

Yao Pingzhong led his people to call the door, and his brother Yao Youzhong identified it on the city. After a lot of effort, he cleared the obstacles in the door, pulled up the thousand-jin gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and exposed the passage.

Not long after that, the team sent by Emperor Daojun to greet him started playing and typing, and an imperial edict was issued. It was eloquent and probably contained several thousand words. It took a long time to read it, and the eunuch who announced the edict was so tired that he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Zhe Hanmei asked Zhao Tao in a low voice: "Your Highness, what does the King of Light mean? And why do officials call themselves the Great God of Light?"

Zhao Tong: "..."

After announcing the decree, it was not just the generals who entered the city. Over there, Liu Suiyun directly ordered soldiers and horses to defend the city gate. The officials who greeted him were stunned, but no one dared to say anything. Even Li Gang was silent. .

Then he went straight to the palace, accompanied by Du Bo, Lu Da, Xu Ning and others.

In the Zichen Hall, Emperor Daojun was searching his intestines and stomach, thinking about words to deal with the traitor. Everyone over there had entered the hall, but Zhao Tong was not the only one, but dozens of people.

Emperor Daojun and the ministers were stunned when they saw this. What are they doing? Instead of just asking the King of Qin to come here, why did he also bring the generals?

Zhao Tong stood in the middle of the hall, looked at Daojun and Emperor and said politely: "Dad, the child is back!"

The corners of Emperor Daojun's mouth trembled. This traitor was wearing armor and had a sword hanging on his waist. The generals behind him were also like this, looking fierce and evil. What did he want to do? Why didn't the imperial guards outside the palace stop them and let them bring weapons into the palace?
Moreover, this rebellious son is not called His Majesty. How is it appropriate to address him like this in the main hall?

"Prince Qin, you..." Emperor Daojun said hesitantly, forgetting all the words he had originally thought of.

"Dad, my son rescued Tokyo this time and destroyed all the Jurchen's Tiefutu heavy-armored cavalry, and killed more than 80,000 other soldiers in total. The danger in Tokyo has been resolved!"

"Ah, okay, okay..." The more Emperor Daojun looked at the sword on Zhao Tong's waist and the people behind him, the more frightened he became. He couldn't help but think of what happened when the traitor left the capital. He felt cold sweat break out on his back. He had just left. If the jackal is gone, could there be another tiger?
He hurriedly winked at both sides. None of the officials dared to speak at this time. They all saw that Zhao Tong was not a good person. They couldn't help but secretly wonder, could things change?
Emperor Daojun was anxious. Li Gang, who loved to perform the memorial most these days, was not in the palace and was still busy at the top of the city. He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Qin Hui.

Qin Hui gritted his teeth and stepped out of the class. Zhao Tong was at odds with him, and it would be disadvantageous for him to come back at this moment. Although speaking at this time would anger the other party, he did not believe that Zhao Tong dared to kill the scholar-bureaucrat.

"Prince Qin, why do you bring your sword to the palace?"

Zhao Tong turned his head and glanced at Qin Hui, his face expressionless.

Qin Hui continued: "Your Majesty only declares King Qin, why do the others come?"

Du Bo suddenly glared from behind: "Who are you? How dare you talk to the prince like this!"

Qin Hui snorted: "Rude martial artist, you have no right to speak!"

Zhao Tong smiled slightly at this moment and said leisurely: "This person colludes with the Jurchens and has evil intentions. The evidence is conclusive. Kill him!"

Du Fu heard this and drew out his sword. Qin Hui was shocked and asked, "King Qin, what do you want to do?"

Du Bo didn't allow him to say anything, so he stepped forward and stabbed him with his sword. It immediately pierced his chest and blood spattered on the spot.

There was silence in the main hall, many people were trembling and did not dare to raise their heads.

Zhao Tong glanced at both sides and said calmly: "Sanchao, let's all go back."

The people on both sides, including the Daojun Emperor above, were stunned, and Du Bo shouted: "Could it be that they didn't hear King Qin's order and dispersed the court!"

"Yes, yes..." With a shout, the courtiers on both sides walked tremblingly, quickly or slowly, out of the palace.

After a while, Emperor Daojun was the only one left in the hall, sitting on the dragon chair with his teeth chattering and his face full of fear...
