The bonfire ignited and the dazzling fire illuminated the Jishui River.
Zhe Kecun took the lead and led five hundred fierce soldiers to gallop against the Jin army, killing like thunder.
Murong Xiahan brought three hundred cavalry to protect the left wing of Zhe Kecun, and moved forward like a raging rush.
Roland rushed to the formation and tightly squeezed the reins. The war horse neighed and stood upright. "Brothers, follow me, follow me, kill, kill..." Roland punched the horse on the back, the war horse raised its head and neighed wildly, and its four hooves rose into the air, rolling towards the battlefield like a whirlwind.
"Brothers, fight to the death today, never stop..." Fu Xiuguo raised his spear, shouted at the top of his lungs, and roared away with his men and soldiers towards the enemy.
Zhao Renyan, Liu Yan and Bai Youyan shouted wildly, following behind Roland and Fu Xiuguo, shouting all the way, with awesomeness.
The Jin army came overwhelmed with a terrifying momentum, but the formation was very chaotic. The soldiers of each army ran forty or fifty miles. Although they were unstoppable, their troops were exhausted and sweating profusely. At this time, they were suddenly counterattacked by the Song army and caught off guard. Both sides immediately fell into a melee.
Zhe Keyuan frost, his long spear in his hand was like a dragon leaping over the sky, flying up and down, and in his swallowing and spitting, he led the Jin army to fall down. The soldiers behind him lined up with arrows, swords and guns on both sides roared like the wind, and the bows and crossbows in the middle were as dense as rainstorms. The arrows drew strange lights in the night sky.
Murong Xiahan had a long sword like a rainbow, and followed his wings, and his swords, guns and arrows were like beasts with bloody mouths, devouring the enemy's life to the fullest.
Roland and Fu Xiuguo led their troops to attack and kill some people on the right wing for two or three hours without rest. They traveled dozens of miles from the Weishui River to the Jishui River, and they were exhausted while fighting, and their physical strength was exhausted. Although they had enough strength to kill and met several times, they could not support it. Fortunately, the Jin army was exhausted, and both sides barely played a role.
Soon, the Jin army and the local brigade arrived, and the sound of drums became increasingly dense. The flags were even more fluttering like clouds. Under the command of their respective generals, teams of local soldiers quickly reorganized their ranks and prepared to siege and kill the Song army.
The Jin army's front-selling army began to retreat to the two wings. As long as they move out of the front, the Song army will definitely be hit by a thunderous attack.
Zhe Kecun shot and flew away the enemy on the opposite side through the chaotic battlefield to look into the distance. He saw the Jin army commander at a glance. He saw a series of Jin army ready to go. He immediately shouted in a loud voice. "Blow the trumpet and call the two wings to stick to the enemy tightly. Attack..."
"Rise the flag and call the slash to attack. Quick..."
The sound of the horn raised the earth and the drums penetrated the thick night sky. The bloody night wind spread throughout the battlefield.
On the edge of the river bank, you can open your arms and wave your fists in the air. You can make a clear and long roar from your mouth. As soon as the roar starts, five hundred men start to start in an instant. Follow Zhe Kezhi and head straight to the battlefield.
On the other side of the Jishui River, Liu Li and Ren Xiongxiang rushed to the floating bridge with hundreds of soldiers. They held up torches, shouted wildly, and rushed into the battlefield without hesitation.
On the Baixiang city tower, a bunch of bonfires were lit, like a burning fire dragon. Hundreds of war drums were beating at the same time, and the deafening drum sounds tore the night and shocked the world.
Thousands of Song soldiers fought bravely, fearless.
The Jin army launched a more fierce attack, and teams of horse troops rushed into the chaotic battlefield, and a bloody siege began.
=
On both sides of the Huaishui River, people shouted and neighed horses, and the dense torches were like dazzling stars in the Milky Way, extremely beautiful.
On the west bank, tens of thousands of infantry from the 10th Army of Huliu were fleeing, and the soldiers of the 7th Army of Huliu and Eighth Army followed behind and quickly evacuated.
On the east bank, Yue Fei led the horse army to run wildly. Behind him, tens of thousands of Jin troops roared down like a torrent of dams and roared down in a mighty manner.
=
On the north bank of the Jishui River, tens of thousands of people fought together, and the sound of killing shocked the sky.
The Song army relied on the river embankment, and hundreds of people fought back to the death. However, there were too many Jin troops. Although they could not set up their formation, they gradually gained advantages on some battlefields and killed the Song army at all costs.
Zhe Kecun soon became the target. Several teams of Jin army surrounded him and planned to divide him into surround him. The more Jin army, Zhe Kecun's subordinates fell off their horses one after another, and the situation was extremely critical. Roland and Murong Xiahan immediately turned around from both wings to attack the middle formation, and Zhe Kezhi, Liu Li and Ren Xiongxiang led the horse and infantry army to fight to the death, trying to break through the Jin army's blockade and rescue Zhe Kecun.
The battle suddenly became fierce, and both sides were red in their eyes and fought with their lives.
The Jin army mobilized a group of crossbowmen to shoot at Zhe Kecun's flagship. The crossbow arrows roared sharply, and the several entourages who were blocking Zhe Kecun had nowhere to hide, and they were killed by the arrows. Zhe Kecun's eyes were clear and quick, and he turned over and rolled down from his horse. The war horse was shot into an arrow, and one side was instantly shot into a honeycomb.
The Jin soldiers cheered in unison with excitement. More than a dozen brave soldiers rushed forward, and their swords, guns, sticks and halberds hit them like rain.
Zhe Kecun fish jumped up, and in the roar, the spear was like lightning, and it was cut through the air. It immediately smashed two long swords and three long spears. At the same time, it pulled out the sword behind its back with its left hand and threw it out in the air. A Jin soldier rode his horse and spears and was speeding up. The sword roared violently, piercing the chest and abdomen of the Jin soldier. The huge inertia flew backwards with the body of the Jin soldier. The war horse came with lightning. Zhe Kecun spear hit the ground, and his agile body rose into the air and landed on the back of the horse.
The Jin soldiers were as fast as lightning, and the spear and axe slashed down from both sides. The spear started again, and Zhe Kecun roared, and one shot pierced through the Jin soldiers holding the axe, but he looked left and right, and the Jin soldiers on the other side had already stabbed them. At a critical moment,
A long spear flew over, and in a glance, it penetrated the Jin soldiers. Zhe Kecun's sorrow and miserable howl, he turned around and saw Roland falling from the sky. The Jin soldiers flew into the distance with a spray of blood.
"Zhe Shuai, retreat, retreat quickly..." Roland was covered in blood. While trying to protect Zhe Kecun, he screamed.
Zhe Kecun turned his horse's head and looked around. There were only a few entourages left, and there were not many people around Roland. From the shouts on the battlefield, we could vaguely tell that there were fewer and fewer soldiers on his side. This battle could not be fought again. Whether Yue Fei could escape back could only leave it to fate.
"Retreat..." Zhe Kecun smashed the enemy soldiers who were flying and roared fiercely, "Retreat."

Yue Fei arrived.
The closer you are to Baixiang, the more desperate you are. There are Jin troops everywhere in front of you. Although you can continue to advance in the chaos in the night. If no one responds, or the floating bridge on the Jishui River has been burned, then he and a group of subordinates are immediately in a desperate situation and a dead end.
However, to his surprise, the closer he was to the countryside, the stronger the bloody smell in the night wind, and the faint sound of fighting became more and more dense. When he rushed up a high slope and saw the deafening firelight in front of him, he knew that he was saved. The Song army in Baixiangcheng was fighting fiercely on the north bank of the Jishui River and was responding to his safe evacuation at all costs.
In an instant, Fei and his subordinates were full of morale and blood. More than a thousand cavalry lined up with sharp edges, and they were swept into the battlefield like a rush of wind and lightning.
On the battlefield, the Jin army had an absolute advantage. Several armies in the front were slaughtering the Song army, while the army in the rear was already lagging to find a place to camp. It was too late at this moment, and the Jin army soldiers were very tired, and there was a water barrier in front of them. Today's battle was about to come.
Suddenly, a bloodthirsty beast came out of the darkness, which caught the Jin army off guard. The Jin army quickly avoided like a tide to avoid the edge.
The Jin army's rear formation was attacked by sneak attacks, and the formation was scattered and soon affected the central army. The central army was unclear, so in a hurry, he could only order the troops to make way for a way and let the enemy's sneak attack fly by.
The sound of trumpets of alarm sounded one after another, and the sound of Jin was even louder in the sky. The Jin army fighting in front of him retreated when they heard about Jin.
Yue Fei and his subordinates ran wildly, fighting all the way, and the blockers were invincible. Although the Jin army did not firmly surround and kill, the dense arrow formation was chasing behind and shooting. The closer they approached the Jishui River, the more violent the arrow formation was, which made Yue Fei's horse army pay a heavy price.
Zhe Kecun, Luo Lan and others saw the Jin army suddenly retreating, and their formation was shaken, and the alarm sounded from far to near. They immediately realized that Yue Fei had finally broken through, so they plucked up the last bit of strength and killed him again without hesitation.
The two armies met and quickly evacuated the battlefield.
=
Zong Han ordered the stop attack and no longer encirclement and killing. Although the battle today failed to lure the enemy, the pursuit of the Song army was a heavy blow. The results were enough. There was no need to entangle in this small Baixiang city, causing unnecessary losses to himself.
"Let the soldiers rest overnight, and tomorrow morning we will cross the river to attack."
"Do you keep fighting until Handan?" Wanyan Olu asked.
In his opinion, the Jin army should first eliminate the Song army in Shenzhou, and then go south to attack Daming Prefecture. However, now Zong Wang is surrounded by Shenzhou without attacking, while Zong Han intends to kill directly and approach Bianjing, which is obviously not conducive to the later battle of the Jin army, because Li Hu is in Luoyang, and the main force of the Tiger Lie Army has not yet entered the Hebei battlefield. From the entire battle situation, the Jin army should strive to annihilate the Song army on the Hebei battlefield as quickly as possible, and then fight a decisive battle with Li Hu. The Song army is vulnerable and the only opponent that hinders the Jin army from occupying Bianjing is actually Li Hu. If Li Hu defeats Li Hu, perhaps the entire Song Dynasty belongs to the Jurchens.
Zong Han understood Wanyan Olu. Among the generals around him, there were many people who had the same idea as Wanyan Olu.
"Li Hu's goals are the same as us, both Bian Jing and the Song Dynasty." Zong Han smiled, "Li Hu finally occupied the northwest now. The most important thing for him is to stabilize the northwest, rather than rushing to Hebei to fight us. I believe you can think of the pros and cons of this. From this, it is not difficult to guess Li Hu's strategy. He will not be able to fight in Hebei in the short term. However, if we fight too hard and force it too tightly, seriously threaten the safety of Bian Jing and threaten Li Hu's survival, then he will take action. What are the benefits of his actions? As long as he doesn't take action, the battlefield in Hebei is our world, and we can eat the Northwest Army one by one."
"As far as we know, the army that can fight in the Song Dynasty is the Northwest Army now, and the main forces of the Northwest Army have all reached Hebei. The Northwest Army and Li Hu have a very good relationship. If we cannot destroy the Northwest Army as much as possible before Li Hu takes action, it will be a little trouble for us to defeat Li Hu in the future."
"So, do you want to use the Song army in Shenzhou as bait to lure more Northwest troops to the Hebei battlefield and wipe out one by one?" Wanyan Olu asked.
