Chapter 705 The balance of war is still tilted

The two sides got closer and closer, and finally collided.

In an instant, many people on both sides were shot down from their horses.

Kaizi horses rarely attack the opponent's cavalry head-on, but when encountering such a wall of cavalry, Kaizi horses can only attack head-on.

If Wu Shu's Tie Fu Tu were here today and charged head-on like this, the Shenwu Army would be crushed even if it had three heads and six arms.

But Guaizima is not the Iron Buddha.

The Shenwu Army is no longer the cavalry of the Song Dynasty in the first year of Jingkang.

The comparison of the strength of the two sides came out quickly: the Song army was not inferior at all, and it could be said that it was a tie with Guaizima.

At this time, Zhang Xian's main force had already approached Junzi Pavilion. When he learned that Yao Zheng was already fighting with the Jin people, he made a decisive decision and ordered the whole army to rush away quickly.

The mighty Third Battalion, Third Battalion, Fifth Battalion, and Sixth Battalion of the Second Army of the Shenwu Army spread out in the fields.

The iron armor reflects a cold brilliance under the scorching sun, and when viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a torrent of metal roaring across the earth.

Wanyanpo Lu Huo was observing the battle situation from the front. He laughed and said: "The Song army only has more than a thousand cavalry. In my opinion, it won't take half an hour!"

The staff member looked around and said: "In front of us is the Hutuo River. If there is a Song army coming here to cover up the enemy, our army will be unable to retreat!"

"Hahaha, the main force of the Song Army is probably still dozens of miles away!"

As soon as he stopped laughing, he suddenly heard the sound of thunder rolling from behind.

Stunned for a moment, Wanyan Po Lu Huo turned around and looked around, only to see that in the fields under the scorching sun, the warriors and horses were fighting for thousands of miles!

At that moment, Wanyan Po Lu Huo's head almost exploded on the spot.

What to do now?

He has two choices, oh no, he only has one choice.

If there was no Hutuo River in front of him, he could lead his people to flee quickly to the west. If he fled in a roundabout way, he would have a high probability of escaping.

After all, cavalry have high mobility, and it is difficult for cavalry to chase and kill cavalry.

Just like when the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, they were either assaulted or directly hammered to death from the front. It was difficult to chase and kill a large number of them.

Jin Wushu also fought against the Mongols. The Mongols were almost all cavalry. If they couldn't win, they could run away. Jin Wushu not only brought cavalry, but also infantry. Even if they were all cavalry, it was impossible to say that they could catch them.

If you go up, you can catch up.

This is the basic game rule of cavalry combat.

However, since the Hutuo River is on the west side, the space for the Jin army to escape was greatly reduced.

Either they were attacked by Song troops from two sides, or they had to flee in all directions. There was not enough space to escape, so they could only escape as much as they could.

In just one moment, Wanyan Po Lu Huo made the right decision: run away!

This was the only word left in his mind.

So he started to run away frantically, and the guards behind him also ran with him and threw away the military flags in their hands.

Zhang Xian came from the east, while the Jin and Song armies charged from the west. He, the general, ran towards the south.

Hejian City is about ten miles southeast. You will be safe if you escape back to Hejian City.

This was the first time for Wanyan Po Lu Huo to run away like this as a civilian, and it was also the first time for the war horse under his crotch to run away so desperately.

It's like flying hooves.

By the time Zhang Xian's main force came over, Wanyan Po Lu Huo had already withdrawn from the battlefield.

At this time, Zhang Xian could not just chase Wanyan Po Lu Huo, because many cavalry were following him. If he ran to follow Wanyan Po Lu Huo, the main force would be led astray.

And whether it can be pursued or not is another matter.

There were sounds of fighting everywhere, and with the addition of the main force of the Song army, the situation quickly turned one-sided.

A large number of cavalrymen were knocked off their horses due to the impact.

An hour later, the war ended.

Except for Wanyan Po Lu Huo who escaped with more than ten cavalry, the Jin army's cavalry were almost killed and the whole army was wiped out.

The number of people killed by the Song army in battle was about five hundred.

The sun went down, dyeing half of the sky red, and the wind and waves blew broken wheat flying in the sky.

The villagers in the distance were hiding in their houses and did not dare to come out.

Zhang Xian got off the horse, took off his helmet, and touched the slight dent on his left shoulder with his hand. There was no strong pain, and no bones should have been injured.

"Zhang Dutong, all the enemies have been eliminated. There is no trace of the enemy for several miles."

"Help collect the remains of the comrades who died in the battle and check the names."

"yes!"

Zhang Xian walked to the river and washed the blood off his face.

He raised his head and suddenly saw a young man.

The young man was looking at him curiously.

Zhang Xian felt strange: "Are you from a nearby village?"

"Um!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"I don't know what his name is."

"What does he do?"

"The one who fights."

"Warrior?"

The young man suddenly ran forward, stopped in front of a Song Jun lying on the ground, and then looked at the Song Jun.

"Is he the one you're waiting for?"

"Um!"

"You know him?"

"I didn't know you yesterday, but I got to know you today."

Zhang Xian squatted down and looked at the nameplate: Zhang Cheng.

The armor on Zhang Cheng's chest was hammered with a blunt instrument, and the internal organs inside were probably shattered.

"Is he dead?"

"He died." Zhang Xian sighed.

"Why did he die?"

Looking into the young man's pure eyes, Zhang Xian thought for a while before saying, "He sacrificed his life for the ideal in his heart."

"What is the ideal in his heart?"

"It's about protecting our country."

"What he said before was to kill the enemy. Kill the enemy so that no one will collect food from our village like they did in the past. Is this to protect the family and the country?"

"This is to protect the homeland and the country. In the future, no one may come to your village to expropriate as much as in the past. Everyone has fields and food to eat. This is the mission that our generation must complete. Under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, !”

"If you don't finish it, can I finish it with you when I grow up?"

Zhang Xian suddenly smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "We'll talk about it when you grow up!"

The young man stood there and watched Zhang Cheng's body being taken away until dark.

In the eighth year of Jingkang's reign, on June 12, in the Battle of Junziguan of the Song and Jin Dynasties, the entire army of three thousand Jin troops was wiped out.

This was a heavy blow to the Jin army in Hejian Prefecture.

That night, Wanyan Po Lu Huo fled back to Hejian City.

Also that night, Zhang Xian took a short rest at the Junzi Pavilion. Taking advantage of the darkness, the entire army assembled and marched toward Shucheng County in a mighty manner.

According to intelligence, the Jin Army also has 7,000 elite infantrymen and a considerable number of logistics troops in Shucheng County. They were the main force that went to Shucheng County with Wanyan Po Luhuo yesterday.

Since the enemy's main force has already been dispatched, they will naturally not let them go.

Soldiers are expensive and fast!

At this time, after Wanyan Po Lu Huo returned to the city, he sent people to Shucheng County, intending to recall all the main infantry.

At the same time, he began to write a letter asking for help to Wanyan Yinshuke of Zhongshan Mansion.
