Zhang Xiaochun must immediately find a way to solve the problem in front of him... The Jin army has already begun to attack. The human army is eyeing the Yellow River again. The situation behind the mountain is very critical. If Datong is lost, Jiuzhou behind the mountain will definitely be lost. The Song Dynasty finally took back the territory that has been lost for more than a hundred years. If it is lost again, this guilt is not ordinary serious. But it cannot be redeemed for thousands of deaths. Putting aside this eternal guilt, it is even a serious problem. First of all, Li Hu and his Liaodong army are going to retreat to Hedong Road. There are still hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who are going to escape into Taiyuan. So many troops and people suddenly flock to Hedong. A series of problems will arise. Once these problems are not handled properly, they will inevitably lead to riots. If Hedong falls into chaos, give the Jurchens and Dangxiang people an opportunity to take advantage of the war. The capital of the capital is immediately in an emergency. The situation will be out of control.

Zhang Xiaochun could not bear such heavy responsibilities. His only way was to follow Tong Guan's orders and go north to support Datong in the shortest time, blocking the Jurchens and Dangxiang people from the north of Datong.

But where did he get the troops? Liu wrote it very clearly in the letter. Ningwu Pass is about 400 miles away from the Killing Hukou. Thirty thousand Song troops must arrive at the Killing Hukou battlefield within five days. Otherwise, military law will be carried out.

Zhang Xiaochun was desperate and planned to leave the will. At this time, Jia Qiong, the commander of Daizhou and the commander of military commander of military commanders, arrived. As a subordinate, he would of course come to see him. Zhang Xiaochun was frowning and briefly explained the predicament in front of him. "What is the way for Jia Zhizhou?" Jia Qiong has been an official in Hedong for many years and has been stationed in border counties for a long time. Of course, he knew about Hedong. So he thought for a moment and then offered advice. "If Zhang Shuai wants to gather 30,000 troops in the shortest time, the best way now is to recruit rural soldiers."

Recruiting the village soldiers? Zhang Xiaochun's eyes lit up suddenly and applauded repeatedly.

In addition to the imperial guards and the wing army, there were also foreign soldiers, rural soldiers, local soldiers, and local soldiers. As the name suggests, they were the square army. The rural soldiers in Shaanxi and Hedong areas were frequently recruited and repeatedly recruited due to frequent wars. The combat effectiveness was very high. The crossbowmen were especially strong. The local soldiers generally refer to the main army along the northwest and Guangnan routes. They were governed by each inspector. The inspector was also the commander of the soldiers. The responsibility was to command the local soldiers to maintain the public security.

There are many soldiers in Hedong Township. There are all prefectures and counties. They are affiliated with the army of Shenrui, loyalty, volunteers and archers. There are also the army of Linzhou. After the implementation of the general military strategy, the regular army of Shaanxi and Hedong were all organized by imperial soldiers, foreign soldiers and township soldiers. The four generals who went north this time were composed of these three branches of military service.

But Zhang Xiaochun immediately thought of a realistic problem. After all, the village soldiers were Fangjun. They were all farmers. Can they go to the battlefield to fight? This time they went north to fight, to guard the territory, and to kill people. Isn’t it too cruel to trick a group of farmers into the battlefield and die?

"Although time is rushed, as long as Zhang Shuai ordered, the commander Sima could immediately recruit about 20,000 rural soldiers from Daizhou, Xinzhou and Ninghua Jun San near Ningwu Pass. These rural soldiers lived in border counties for generations, and were garrisoned by the border. They developed a lot of skills. Although their combat effectiveness was not as good as the imperial guards, it was not lower than that of the wing army. They could go to the battlefield to fight." Jia Qiong explained with a smile. "There is another more important point. These rural soldiers are very simple. They have a full enthusiasm for serving the country. In order to protect the territory of the Song Dynasty and protect their homes, you just need to raise your arms and say that the Song Dynasty needs them. They will immediately carry weapons and war horses and quickly arrive at the front line. Even if they are crushed to pieces, they will move forward."

A strange feeling surged in Zhang Xiaochun's heart. It's not like being moved or sad.

The imperial guards and the wing army are both regular soldiers. However, because the ** has eroded the bone marrow of the army. The imperial guards and the wing soldiers have abandoned their courage and lost confidence under the exploitation and exploitation of officers at all levels. They have no hope. And their Shangguan has become the "purulent corpses" of the army. They are full of fame and fortune, racking their brains to fight for power and profit all day long. They are planning how to get promoted and make money in the interweaving of the cups.

Now these people are unscrupulous in disobeying military orders. They only have their own self-interest in front of them. They completely put the safety of the country behind their heads and force themselves not to recruit "farmers" to fight. Is this the sorrow of the Song Dynasty or the sorrow of the Chinese?

Zhang Xiaochun had no choice but to adopt this plan. He sent five hundred cavalry, all three horses, and rushed day and night with the orders of Shuaisi. Whenever he went to a fortress, a village, a township, he issued a notice and urgently recruited the township soldiers. He asked them to gather at Ningwu Pass within two days, go north to fight and defend the country.

The Jin army successfully advanced to Zhenchuan Fort and continued to attack.

The Third Army of Tiger and Lieutenant, the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the Sixth Army stationed at Zhenchuan Fort. They used moats, horse-resisting formations, Zhenchuan River and solid fort walls in the fort. They used the arrow towers, stone throwing machines, car-cut crossbows, single-shaped crossbows, and more than 10,000 yellow birch bows, black paint bows and other various crossbows in the fort to launch fierce shooting at the Jin army.

The First Army of Hulie, the Second Army, the Bohai Army, the Yunshuo Army, the Shenlong Army, the Thunder Army, the Wu Yong Army, and the Heishan Army lined up on the two wings of Zhenchuan Fort. Within a 20-mile range, a large chariot yoke formation was formed based on three forts and eight beacons. They fought bravely with the Jin army.

In the afternoon, Wanyan Gao rushed to the battlefield. Wanyan Olu, Yelu Yuji and others took the lead in meeting them and briefly explained the situation of Zhenchuan Fort. The two agreed that the attack strategy should be changed. They could not continue to fight like this at any cost. If this continues, the Jin army would suffer too much loss and would be detrimental to later combat.

Wanyan Gao personally rushed to the front line. The battle on the front line was very fierce. The Jin army took turns to attack Zhenchuan Fort. However, the Han army's defense was very tenacious. The Jin soldiers suffered heavy losses. The battlefield was full of corpses and blood flowed into a river. It was a terrible sight.

"The Han army dug several trenches in front of the fort. There are a quarre-ree fort between each trenches. There is a moat in front of the fort wall. There is a moat in front of the moat and the earthen wall. We can only get close to the fort wall by taking the earthen wall." Zong Wang pointed to Zhenchuan Fort in front and introduced to Wanyan Gao. "The Han army's arrow formation is too fierce and has a large coverage. Especially their crossbows have a shooting distance of up to 260 steps. If you want to get close to the moat, it will cost a lot. But they also have stone throwing cars. Once we approach the moat, the stone throwing cars in the fort begin to fire stone bombs. Sometimes they also fire fire bombs. At the same time, the enemy soldiers buried behind the earthen wall also began to shoot with single-shaped crossbows. In this way, we have almost no way to cross the moat."

Wanyan Gao narrowed his eyes and looked for a long time. The anger in his heart gradually surged with the soldiers falling down ahead. "Is there no way? If we can't even take down such a small fortress, how can we fight Xijing?"

Zong Wang looked at Zong Han around him. He didn't speak. The attack strategy adopted by the Jurchens so far was to use the specialties of the horse army, mainly to defeat and annihilate the enemy's troops, and to siege the city as the auxiliary. Although they have successively won Huanglong Mansion, Tokyo, Shangjing and Zhongjing in recent years, they have really taken down. Except for the attacks on Shangjing for a few days, the other big cities were all taken down by tricks. Almost never really attacked the city. Therefore, the Jin army seriously lacked experience in attacking.

The Jurchens had no experience in attacking the tough. So what about the Khitans? There was no Khitans. The Khitans had been peaceful with the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years. The battle of attacks was history. In recent years, they mainly suppressed rebellions in the desert. Later, they surrounded and killed Li Hong. The Han rebels in Guyu were mainly concentrated on the grasslands or plains of Shangjing Road and Tokyo Road. They fought with the Jin army in the field. So they were also good at field battles in the horse army.

"This battle must be decided quickly and quickly. It cannot be delayed." Wanyan Gao's tone was very strict. "The Song people may go north to support at any time. The rainy season in the grassland is coming soon. No matter which of these two unfavorable conditions becomes a reality, we cannot quickly conquer Xijing. You must find a way immediately." Wanyan Gao pointed to the dead body on the battlefield and said. "This is definitely not a war. This is a death sentence. It is a massacre."

"Fight for two days first. Find ways to attack while fighting." Zong Han said lightly. "On the grassland, we can give full play to the advantages of the horse army. But in the future, we will face the tall and strong cities of the southerners. Therefore, we must learn to attack. If we want to learn to attack, we have to pay the price. Death of tens of thousands of people is nothing."

Wanyan Gao stared at him. He wanted to scold him angrily, but then he thought that Zong Han was right. Then he swallowed the words to his mouth. "We don't have time. If we continue to fight like this, when will we fight to Datong?"

"The purpose of our strong attack is to lose the Han army and force Li Hu to transfer more troops to Zhenchuan Fort." Zong Wang said. "So we have no choice now. It is to attack and attack desperately. After the Pu family slave (Wanyan Yu) began to attack the Kill Hukou, Li Hu was attacked on both sides and his troops were stretched. At that time, we could use one force to restrain Zhenchuan Fort. Then we sent two groups of troops to break through the wings of Zhenchuan Fort, tear open the defense line of the Han army, and then force the Han army to withdraw to Datong."

"I hope to see Feiyun Army or Yan Wang Army in Zhenchuan Fort. In this way, we will be sure to attack Yehu Ridge." Zong Han smiled. "The more fierce the Zhenchuan Fort fight, the more scared Li Hu is. At this time, we only need to achieve the results of the battle. Li Hu is very likely to transfer troops from Yehu Ridge and take a big move."

"I'm afraid the Song Dynasty sent troops to support him." Wanyan Gao looked worried. "There is also the Dangxiang people. Chage led a large army to station on the west bank of the Yellow River. He coveted Daibei. Once the Pu family slaves left Yunnei, will he take advantage of the situation to rob?"

Zong Han and others remained silent. In fact, it was useless to think about these questions now. For the Jurchens, as long as they took down Xijing, the situation of the Northern War in Dai was basically controlled by them.
