It can be said that everything in this game of chess is on Ka Zonghan's neck.

Originally, the attack south was quite outstanding, at least even Xiangyang was defeated.

But he received an order to withdraw troops and support Shaanxi.

If you support Shaanxi, support Shaanxi. The closest route to Shaanxi is from Luoyang.

But we can't go directly from Luoyang because Taiyuan is not peaceful now.

So when a master plays chess, he makes one move and looks at five moves.

Zhao Ning really couldn't defeat the Jin Army in a field battle head-on. Even the current Imperial Guards could barely fight the Jin Army in a field battle head-on with the same strength.

But that doesn't mean there's no way to win.

Laying out the strategy at a strategic level and implementing constraints at multiple points, the Jin army was forced to use every possible weapon to defeat the enemy and was exhausted throughout the entire game.

The Jin army is in this state now and cannot use its strength.

Zong Han fell into deep thought.

Like Wu Shu, he also has two choices:

One, simply retreat north quickly, return to Taiyuan quickly, and secure Taiyuan to avoid long nights and dreams.

Second, kill the Song army in Luoyang.

Zong Han immediately evacuated but was unwilling to give in. Today he was defeated by the Song army. This was a big stain in his history.

If we don't retreat, both Taiyuan and Shaanxi will become anxious.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Ning was awakened by Wang Huaiji.

Zhao Ning changed his clothes and came out, and everyone was waiting for him.

Sun Fu, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, said excitedly: "Guan family, the main force of gold thieves has approached Luoshui!"

Zhao Ning said nothing. The scout presented the information and Zhao Ning read it.

The Jin army is now very close to Luoshui and seems to be preparing to cross the river.

Moreover, it is located a few miles east of the confluence of Yi River and Luo River, and more than fifty miles away from Luoyang City.

The section after the confluence of the Yi River and the Luo River is called the Yiluo River.

The Jin army could only cross the Yiluo River. If they crossed the river close to Luoyang, they had to cross the Yihe River first and then cross the Luo River. No one with normal IQ would do that.

"Have we made it clear? How many people are there in the Jin army preparing to cross the river?"

"There were so many people, tens of thousands of people."

Sun Fu immediately interjected: "It is confirmed that it is the main force of the golden thieves! Yes, it is the main force of the golden thieves..."

Zhao Ning glanced at him, and Sun Fu's voice immediately became softer, he slowly stopped talking and stepped aside.

This guy is now considered a good diplomat, so Zhao Ning took him with him when he went on an expedition.

But his military power is really stretched.

Zhao Ning asked the scout: "Are you sure there are tens of thousands of people?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, we have carefully inspected and found that there are indeed a very large number of people, at least 50,000 or more."

"Have you seen the Jin Army?"

"I saw it."

"How did you see it at night?"

"The other side held up torches and built some boats."

Zhao Ning laughed: "That's not the main force of the golden thieves."

Sun Fu said: "How can your Majesty see this?"

The smile on Zhao Ning's face seemed to say, "You are such a military idiot." How could Zong Han be so grand about such an important matter as crossing the river?

What you see is just what he wants you to see.

That's definitely not tens of thousands of people.

The error of the scouts in spying on the enemy at night is very large, and the enemy has too many ways to deceive them.

The others did not speak and seemed too lazy to answer Sun Fu's stupid question.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Ningcai said: "The gold thief is cunning and must be guarded against. I am in the dark, but the enemy may not be in the light. I can eat as much as I can. Send an order to stop the Jin army along the river. The others must not rush in easily. When blocking the gold thief,

Be sure to prepare a defensive formation and provide multiple assistance to prevent the Golden Thief Cavalry from raiding!"

"yes!"

After receiving the order, Song and Jin, who were ambushing near Luohe, immediately began to advance towards the target. When the Jin army was crossing the river, they launched a surprise attack.

The two sides fought by the light of torches.

Sure enough, Zong Han really ambushed the cavalry.

The Jin Army cavalry quickly launched a surprise attack on the Song Army based on the light of the torches.

In the infantry phalanx arranged on the flanks of the Song army, each soldier was like a nail nailed there in the dark night. Through the faint light of the fire, he saw the iron-armored cavalry of the Jin army rushing towards them like a torrent.

The sound of weapons clashing instantly sounded.

The infantry of the Song Army, armed with iron spears and hammers hanging from their waists, collided with the iron cavalry of the Jin Army.

The terrifying defense of the infantry armor formation was now revealed.

The war horses whined, and the Jin army on top fell down. Before they had time to struggle, their heads were smashed by the Song army's hammers.

I saw the Guaizi horse rushing at the front like a torrent of collapse. Although the war horses collapsed and the people on them fell off the horses, the terrifying impact of the war horses opened up the front row of the Song army's defense line.

As soon as the two sides came together, it turned into the bloodiest killing.

Countless soldiers of the Imperial Guard were pushed back by the impact of the collapsing horses, and were lifted up, flying upside down in the air like waves.

In the end, he fell on his own body. The armor weighing 70 kilograms on his body was not absolutely evenly distributed with the body. At the moment of falling to the ground, it formed different twisting forces with the body, twisting and deforming the human body inside.

Many people died quietly in an instant.

The collapsed war horse in front continued to push forward under the huge inertia.

The Jin Army's cavalry behind them were knocked down one after another, forming a superimposed force that pushed the entire group of war horses forward.

Pushed forward nearly twenty meters.

All the Song troops within twenty meters were like nails being pushed up from the ground, and finally used their bodies to block the impact of the kidnapping horse.

The kid behind him noticed something was wrong and immediately evacuated by taking detours to the left and right.

Some of the Jin soldiers who fell from their horses in front were lucky enough to survive and got up to get ready to mount their horses.

The Song army that was rushed over swung the hammer and smashed it into a ball of flesh on the spot.

Some Song soldiers even became so jealous that they hammered their injured horses to death on the spot.

Those Jin Army cavalry who fell to the ground and struggled to death were hammered into pieces!

Zong Han's 800 kidnapping horses failed to attack the Song army's formation.

The middle road of the Imperial Guard fighting against the Jin army by the Luo River was protected by the infantry square formation on the flanks.

The war continued until the morning of the next day. After the Jin army was defeated, the Tianwu Army cavalry was chasing them.

At noon, a complete battle report was placed in front of Zhao Ning.

It seems that Zong Han's main force has crossed the river.

These thousands of gold troops can be regarded as the scapegoats that Zong Han Jin Chan left behind after he escaped from his shell.

It was actually not difficult for the Jin army to cross the river. After all, there were no satellite eyes in ancient times. It was easy to cross the river in the dark by playing this trick of peach generation and Li Jiang.

Being able to kill a group of enemy soldiers is already pretty good.

At least Zhao Ning is satisfied.

However, he wasn't ready to give up there.

He set up several dragon gate formations for Zong Han, and would never give up until Zong Han shed a few layers of skin.

In the evening, Zhao Ning received definite news that the Jin army had indeed crossed the Luo River and was rushing towards the Yellow River.

By this time the Yellow River had thawed.

There are still tens of thousands of Song troops waiting on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Chapter completed!
