Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 548: Thorn water

"Marshal Du, I didn't catch up with them!" Wan Yanquan returned to Wanyan Zonghan's side, a little ashamed.

"This is nothing! The Han people are cunning, you are right not to continue pursuing!" Wan Yan Zonghan said.

"But I still feel extremely aggrieved! The Han people offend us, but we can do nothing!" Wan Yanquan flushed.

"There is no way to be aggrieved! After we defeated the Liao Kingdom, we Jurchens began to fall for themselves, including me. After we defeated Kaifeng, we returned to the north and never went south again! If we had stayed in the Central Plains at that time, then I would personally lead it. We attacked Guanshan with heavy troops, broke Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, and captured Emperor Xuanwu alive. After that, countless things will not happen in the future, and we Jurchens will not have the disaster of today! It is a pity that we only knew how to enjoy it at the time!" Wan Yan Zonghan Tao.

"Yes!" Wan Yanquan sighed softly.

He is young, and although he has also learned martial arts over the years, he has been enjoying most of the time! He has always felt that Jurchen is invincible in the world, until the disaster really strikes, he wakes up, and he understands the general trend of the world in front of him!

"Let's go, keep going, beware of the Han people! As long as you get to Cilishui, it's fine!" Wan Yan Zonghan said.

The more than one thousand Song troops followed them firmly, and after about an hour, the number of Song troops behind gradually increased!

When it was getting dark, the number of Song troops behind them reached 20,000!

These Song troops followed behind them like a pack of wolves, and did not attack them, but if they were a little slack, Song Jun would immediately rush to take a bite! If Wanyan Zonghan sent someone to drive Song Jun away, Song Jun would retreat. If they are chasing and the number of soldiers and horses is too small, the Song Army will stop and destroy them. If there are too many soldiers and horses, Wan Yan Zonghan himself is not at ease, he will serve as the rest of the Song Army around!

On this night, the wind is like a knife!

More than a hundred thousand Jurchens were still walking forward under the cold wind, they did not stop to rest! Now the cavalry of the Song army has appeared around, whether it is Wanyan Zonghan or ordinary Jurchens, they are worried, and now they just want to get to a safe place as soon as possible!

Moreover, there is no place to rest on this vast and endless plain!

Throughout the whole night, the Jurchens did not dare to slacken their efforts, and Song Jun's horse hooves continued to be heard behind them, which made them feel nervous.

By the early morning of the second day of the first lunar month, the sound of horseshoes came from the west again, and another Song army cavalry arrived!

The total number of Song Army in the west and south is close to 50,000, which is the same as the total number of Jurchen soldiers and horses. All Jurchen people feel that there is a big mountain above their heads.

Starting at noon on the second day of the first lunar month, the Song Army in the west began to constantly oppress in the direction of the Jurchen Army. They were getting closer and closer to the Jurchen Army, and the Jurchen Army was getting more and more nervous.

An hour later, the Jurchen army and the Jurchen women began to move towards the east!

In fact, they have to get through Thorn Lishui, and then enter the dense forest north of the second regular meeting. Now they have to change their way to the east, and they can't go all the way north!

So far, the Song Army has only persecuted and harassed, and has not launched a large-scale offensive.

"What the **** are the Song people going to do?" Wan Yanquan couldn't help asking as he looked at the Song Army soldiers who had been following them in the distance.

"When the Liyelu Stone went south, Song Jun sent a hundred thousand troops to follow them, so that they had no time to rest and made them tired. Now they are afraid that they will also use the strategies of the day to make us tired!" Wan Yan Zonghan said. .

"Do we have any way to crack it?" Wan Yanquan said.

"Everyone is cavalry. All their soldiers are one man and two horses. They are full of physical strength. We have just experienced a big battle outside Huanglong Mansion. After that, we have not rested all the way forward. The physical strength is very exhausted. They don't fight with us, they just surround us. We can't do anything to persecute us! If it's on the open grassland, we will definitely be defeated, but we will soon be piercing the water! Let everyone be faster!" Wan Yan Zonghan said.

He felt that the current situation was extremely dangerous, because the number of Song troops was too much! All the soldiers and horses of the Song Army's Datong, Juyongguan, and Shanhaiguan have entered the north. In addition, there are 100,000 navies who have crossed the sea and entered Liaodong to fight, plus some militias, the number of soldiers and horses is twenty or thirty times that of the Jurchens! The materials and weapons of the Song Army are countless times better than those of Jurchen! There is a fundamental gap between the strengths of the two sides, and he can't help but worry!

"Marshal Du, you followed the Emperor Taizu to fight the world at the age of seventeen. In your opinion, is the current Song army really as powerful as we had previously guessed?" Wan Yanquan has already left, and a thousand chiefs next to him said. .

"Very strong! Very strong! Their army is well-organized, coming and going like wind! Their soldiers have confidence on their faces. This is the temperament of elite soldiers with victorious battles! In addition, their horses seem to have experienced it. Special training, the quality of war horses must outperform us! Originally, our war horses were also very strong, but in these years in the north, our soldiers have slackened, and our war horses are often nestled in stables, and war horses have begun to become lazy! With the same strength, we may not be their opponents." Wan Yan Zonghan said.

The commander next to him had an expression of astonishment on his face, and he couldn't believe it.

The snow is very heavy, and the thickness of the snow on the ground exceeds one and a half feet. This thickness of snow also affects the speed of Jurchen.

There are many women in the Jurchen Soldiers and Horses. Although the Jurchen women are also quite sturdy, but on the morning of the second day of the first month, some women can no longer move around.

Behind the soldiers reported the information in the team to Wan Yan Zonghan, Wan Yan Quan and others.

"Marshal Du, what should I do?" Wan Yanquan said.

"We can hand over the horse to them!" said a captain behind.

"No! Leave them where they are, and we will move on!" Wan Yan Zonghan said.

"What?" Wan Yanquan was stunned, and said: "Marshal Du, if they do this, they will only have a dead end! Even if there is no Song Army behind, they can hardly live alone on the deserted snowy field. Go down!"

"This can only be done now! If we continue to take them, our speed will be slowed down. At that time, the Song army will gather more and more, and we will definitely die! As for giving them the horses, it is even more impossible. Song Jun rushes over. , What do we rely on to fight?" Wan Yan Zonghan said coldly.

"But, if you do this, you really don't look like a man!" Wan Yan said stubbornly.

"Immediately pass on my order, let the women who can't walk stay behind, and leave more food for them! Don't forget, there are more clansmen in Huining Mansion waiting for us!" Wan Yan Zonghan said.

Wanyan Zonghan's order has been passed on, Wanyanquan clenched his teeth tightly and clenched his hands. After a while, he let out a roar, and even rushed towards the Song Army to the west with dozens of soldiers!

Wanyan Zonghan was shocked, but fortunately, halfway through, a Jurchen soldier firmly held Wanyanquan's horse, and then Wanyanquan stopped! After Wan Yan Zonghan had arrived with thousands of soldiers and horses, he gave Wan Yan Quan a severe beating, not to mention it.

In the middle of the night on the second day of the first month, the cavalry of the Song Army also appeared in the east, and there were more than 20,000 men!

The Song Army in the west and east continued to initiate harassment. Their bows and arrows surpassed Jurchen's bows and arrows. They often shot arrows at a distance, often leaving immediately after a wave. The Jurchens had nothing to do! The cavalry of the Song Army is different from the Jurchen cavalry. They are both light cavalry, completely abandoning the heavy armor, and the speed is a bit faster than the Jurchen. The Jurchen has no mobile advantage in front of them.

Throughout the night, the harassment continued, and under the harassment and pressure of the Song Army, the Jurchen team also unknowingly moved in a more easterly direction.

On the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, a big river appeared in front of the Jurchen team!

Fortunately, it is the mid-winter season, this big river is already frozen! The ancient Northeast was extremely cold, the big river was frozen and firm, and there was a thick layer of snow on the top of the big river!

This is what Wanyan Zonghan said of Ci Lishui. Back then, Ci Lishui was the dividing line between Jurchen and Khitan. To the north of Ci Lishui are the twelve parts of Jurchen. Here is their ancestral land!

"Finally here!" An expression of excitement appeared on Wan Yan Zonghan's face.

"Ten miles will be a piece of jungle! When I was young, I used to hunt there with Taizu and Father!" Wanyan Zongpan's face also showed joy.

"Let everyone hurry up! Also, send someone to investigate the situation ahead!" Wan Yan Zonghan said.

There were Song Army cavalry around, but they were a little far away.

After about half an hour, the cavalry in front came back and reported that everything was normal.

After Wan Yan Zonghan fled all the way, the hanging heart was let go, and laughter began to appear in the Jurchen team.

After another half an hour, the plain disappeared, and the snow-shrouded forest appeared in front of the Jurchens, and there were cheers everywhere in the Jurchens!

The Jurchen soldiers and women all ran towards the forest, while the Song Army soldiers behind were also rushing towards here at this moment!

"It's safe! Quick, don't let Song Jun catch up! This forest is our world. We can find countless hidden places and countless roads!" Wan Yan Zonghan pushed a cedar branch aside and laughed. Tao.

There were only the howling wind and the footsteps of Jurchens in the forest, and there were no other sounds.

The Jurchen soldiers have all got off their horses, leading the horses forward, and the Jurchen women followed the soldiers in front of them!

A quarter of an hour has passed, and all Jurchen people's anxiety was relieved. At this moment, there was a sharp bow and arrow breaking through the air!
