In the past few days, Zhao Ning himself has been at Shangdang. He did not continue to go north, but was trying to appease the morale of the troops.

Although the Shangdang battle was won, the Imperial Guards suffered heavy losses.

Of the 50,000 Praetorian Guards, more than 10,000 were killed and more than 10,000 were seriously injured.

It can be said that almost half of the first batch of new troops were disabled.

At that time, many battalions had collapsed, but even if the formation formed by the Song army collapsed, they could not evacuate immediately.

The entire army was like a piece of iron that was forcibly gathered there, and part of the battalion was holding it to death.

It was not until the cavalry penetrated the Jin army from the flank that the battle situation was decided.

This is only for the Praetorian Guards.

The Huazhou Jin Army and the Luojing Forbidden Army also suffered nearly 20,000 casualties.

Some people were even trampled to death by their own people.

Zhao Ning is also slowly getting used to it, this is the normal state of war.

How can anyone not die in a war?

Especially in the era of cold weapons, it was all human-to-human combat.

Real famous generals don't always use tricks and cunning tactics to win in battles!

Which of the powerful dynasties and armies since ancient times can not defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield and crush the enemy to the ground?

There is a saying in the art of war: Use the right combination to win with surprise.

This does not mean a strange trick.

Many half-hearted people always think that fighting means using unexpected tricks from the enemy.

You think the enemy is so stupid, does the enemy know?

Especially the weird ones headed by Song Huizong and Song Qinzong Group, when facing the Jin Army, they didn't think about training their sergeants and developing solid basic skills. They expected to think of strange ways to win by surprise every day.

This is the sequelae of so-called power play.

The meaning of winning by coincidence means that the main force fights the enemy head-on to hold the situation, and then dispatches highly mobile troops to attack the enemy from any angle except the front.

Qi here means reserve team.

This is also the Jin Army's style of play. The frontal armored infantry advances on a large scale to fight the frontal battlefield, and then uses the highly maneuverable flanks of the Kaizi Horse to quickly cut the enemy.

This is how the Jin army fought against the Liao and Song armies.

Zhao Ning also fought this way in the Shangdang battle.

These classic tactics, in addition to armament configuration, also require one thing: strict military discipline and good training.

That is to say, the basic skills must be solid.

All those who hope to win by relying on strange tricks are Zhao Ji and Guo Jing, not to mention Sun Fu.

In the past, the court halls of the Song Dynasty were filled with this mysterious sense of superiority: "I am extremely resourceful and my enemy is a barbarian."

What?

The Art of War also says that attacking the heart is the most important thing?

That must be based on the fact that the military strength of the enemy and ours is equal or that there is not much difference.

Qin Jun tells you that if you take out your heart, I will still destroy your country!

The Battle of Chang'an consumed Lou Shi and changed the overall situation.

It was the Battle of Shangdang that truly demonstrated the military power of the Song Army!

Zhao Ning began to make calculations. The most important thing right now was the situation on the Eastern Front.

The Eastern Front was related to the richest pocket of the Song Dynasty.

Once the Eastern Front is crippled, Zhao Ning's future may be even more difficult.

Fortunately, Oshisai Hoto’s strategy worked.

There is no news of Zong Han being captured yet.

It is estimated that Zong Han escaped.

It is not difficult for Zong Han to escape. After all, he still has his own bodyguards and a large number of cavalry. The Song army cannot stop him if he wants to leave.

As for Zong Han, is he still thinking about going to Shaanxi?

Haha, I'm afraid he will be dismissed from his position as marshal when he goes back. He still wants to support Shaanxi?

The Jin Dynasty's court will inevitably trigger a political struggle due to the third Song-Jin war.

Zhao Ning is very concerned about the affairs in Taiyuan right now. He has received definite news from Zong Ying. A Shaanxi army has arrived in Taiyuan, and its commander is named Wu Jie.

Wu Jie!

When he heard this name, Zhao Ning felt at ease in his heart!

Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Wu Jie were all on the battlefield.

They are all here!

The Imperial Guards will definitely not be able to go north to support Wu Jie now. They have just experienced a big battle and need to recuperate.

But Zhao Ning immediately sent Zong Ying to lead the Shangdang defenders northward.

Now that Zong Han has been beaten and has fled back to his hometown, it's time to advance the front to Taiyuan!

On the second day of March, just when the situation on the central line was changing, the humble Fucheng was experiencing something that was ignored by everyone.

Yue Fei had four thousand cavalry in his hands, and they were all well-equipped iron cavalry.

These war horses were captured from the Jin army, and they also received many armors and weapons.

He was about to start a big fight. On this day, Yue Fei received news that after completing Yanchang's troops and defeating Yongjing's army, he crossed the east branch of the Yellow River and entered Dezhou.

Yue Fei immediately dispatched troops from Fucheng and headed south quickly. His target was Wan Yanchang!

He has prepared a big surprise for Wan Yanchang!

By this time, our classmate Wan Yanchang still didn’t know that the war situation on the Eastern Front would have undergone major changes because of him.

He himself is still slowly grabbing food and people in Texas.

On the fourth day of March, Yue Fei crossed the East Branch of the Yellow River and approached Dezhou.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of March, Wan Yanchang had no idea that another group of people had arrived.

Yue Fei first sent Zhang Xian and a small group of people to investigate the situation.

The outpost scouts clearly discovered Zhang Xian and others, but did not notify Wan Yanchang.

Not only did it not happen, but it was very cooperative.

Why?

Because Yue Fei and his group were all wearing the armor of the Jin Army, the only difference was the look of the scarves they wore around their necks.

Usually no one pays attention to this detail.

After all, the armor and weapons are exactly the same.

Moreover, there were a large number of Khitans and Han people in the Jin army.

They are not some handymen like the signing army, they are serious and well-equipped regular troops.

Zhang Xian led his people to the vicinity of the Jin Army's camp without any obstruction, and then to Dezhou City.

In the evening, he turned back and informed Yue Fei of the situation in Dezhou.

Wan Yanchang stayed in Dezhou, where the army was making supplies, and the Jin army's camp was ten miles outside the city.

This was a God-given opportunity for Yue Fei.

Making a decisive decision, Yue Fei led this group of cavalry and quickly rushed towards the Jin army's camp.

When the outpost saw this cavalry, he was first surprised, then saw that it was one of his own, and wanted to go over and ask, but Yue Fei and the others ran very fast, and the scout did not have time to ask, but he saw that it was one of his own, so he did not pursue it further. After all, it was dinner time.

The results of it?

Wan Yanchang was playing with women in Dezhou City. In the camp outside, a large number of Jin troops had just come out of the city and were preparing to have dinner in the camp.

Yue Fei is here.

Everyone heard the sound of iron hoofs and looked over in shock: Oh, one of our own!

Yue Fei brought his people over with a smile on his face: one of our own!

Yes, one of our own!

When Yue Fei and his cavalry came rolling in, everyone was still holding bowls, with a look of astonishment on their faces: What's going on, aren't they one of our own?

Yue Fei felt as if he was in a deserted place, he rushed in and started killing!

When Wan Yanchang learned that something had happened in the camp outside the city, he immediately jumped out of the crowd of women, put on his armor and rushed out with his men, but it was too late.

The Jin army outside the city was so killed that they cried for their fathers and mothers, howling and screaming.

Wan Yanchang looked confused.

The Texas incident was a sudden change in the Eastern Front battlefield.

Yue Fei defeated Wan Yanchang in a battle. Wan Yan Chang was confused, and even more confused was Wan Yan Zongfu, who was still unaware of it.

The most confused person may be Zhao Ji, who has already ceded land and paid compensation and is sitting in the Wende Palace happily.
