The fire burned for two days, and the entire Hejian County was burned to white land. None of the nearly 30,000 Jin soldiers escaped and were all burned to death in Hejian County, making Hejian County a purgatory that night.

At this time, Cao Meng led 40,000 reinforcements to Hejian County. Although it was a bit regretful, Cao Meng also knew that he was actually two days late. If the Wu rank had not used his strategy to kill the Jin soldiers, the Jin soldiers would have already broken through the siege and headed north.

Cao Meng turned his gaze to the south, where he had a chance to Wanyan Jiemu's army.

Although Wang Gui had led a 50,000 army north to advance to Yanshan Prefecture a day ago, the 30,000 troops of the Wu rank continued to stay in Hejian Prefecture and intercepted the Jin soldiers in Hebei for the second time. Zhang Jun's 30,000 troops also occupied Zhending Prefecture. He also set up an interception line in Zhending Prefecture and intercepted the Jin soldiers to the north on the front line of Zhending Prefecture.

This is an encirclement and interception of 260,000 troops. Their target is Wanyan Jiemu's 30,000 troops loaded with the north.

At this time, Li Yanqing's 160,000 army had reached Mingzhou, about a hundred miles away from the Jin soldiers heading north. About a thousand logistics ships entered the Yongji Canal from the Yellow River, moved into Tangshui in Xiangzhou, and entered the Zhangshui in Linzhang County, Xiangzhou. This logistics fleet stretched for twenty miles, and there were more than 5,000 opticians, guarded by 20,000 troops.

Li Yanqing's main force marched in front of the supply ship. That night, the army arrived in Pingen County, Mingzhou. In the night, more than 100,000 troops were resting in the wilderness north of Pingen County.

In a large tent, Li Yanqing, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi discussed the next combat plan in front of the ceramic map.

"According to the latest information, the Jin soldiers have already gone north. They have also got hundreds of ships to transport the looted food and grass, and thousands of large chariots carry the looted wealth and women. The march is relatively slow. Thirty-five thousand cavalry head north along the Yongji Canal, and are currently in this position."

Li Yanqing used a small black flag to plant it in Yangxu Town in Yongjiqu. "Just a hundred miles southeast of ours, it is unlikely to find us, but tomorrow they should discover Cao Meng's army."

Li Yanqing pointed at Qinghe County again, "Cao Meng's 40,000 troops have arrived in Qinghe County, preparing to intercept them in Qinghe County."

At this time, Han Shizhong asked: "If the Jin soldiers discovered Cao Meng's army, would they choose to detour north?"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "This is the strategic choice between the two sides. The key is what kind of information should we give each other? If the Jin soldiers find that there are only 40,000 Song troops, what will they make a decision? If the Song troops find that there are 200,000 Song troops, what will they make a decision?"

Yue Fei nodded, "Du Shuai means that we hide the strength of the 160,000 army and strategically deceive the Jin soldiers?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "If the Jin soldiers found that there were only 40,000 Song troops, I think they would never give up their property and population easily. They would definitely concentrate their forces to defeat the 40,000 Song troops. As for thousands of carriages, they would be placed in Zongcheng County, twenty miles south of Qinghe County, and then this war would be held between Zongcheng County and Qinghe County."

"How do we participate in this war?" Liu Guangshi asked.

Li Yanqing pointed to Zongcheng County, "We divided our troops into two groups. General Han and General Yue each led 20,000 troops to detour the north. When the war broke out, we helped Cao Meng's army fight. I led 100,000 troops to kill from behind Zongcheng County and surrounded the enemy from behind. We must wipe out Wanyan Jiemu's army in the wilderness between Qinghe County and Zongcheng County."

.............

After the Song army in Daming City wiped out 5,000 Jin soldiers, Wanyan Jiemu also realized that the danger was coming. He persuaded the leaders of the Bohai tribe and the Goryeo tribe, and then led a 35,000 army northward, loaded with spoils from burning, killing and looting, and thousands of large chariots filled with gold, silver and fine soft soft decorations, and more than 10,000 women.

This was the condition issued by the Bohai tribe and the Goryeo tribe to send troops to Hebei. The Jin Kingdom must ensure that they obtained enough property and women from the Song Dynasty, otherwise they would never follow the Jin Kingdom to send troops again.

Wanyan Sheng, the wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom, agreed to this condition, but Wanyan Xie did not agree very much. At this time, Wanyan Xie had already realized that they needed to restore the northern economy to a certain extent so that the northern economy of the Song Dynasty could support the Jin soldiers for a long time, otherwise the ruined north would only become a burden to the Jin Kingdom.

Although Wanyan Sheng also agreed with Wanyan Xieye's idea, now they are here. If they don't give enough benefits to the Bohai tribe and the Goryeo tribe, they will no longer receive the support of these two allies.

So at this time, Wanyan Jiemu was sent to Hebei to take up the deputy marshal. He actually had only one task to satisfy the desire of the two tribes to plunder, and then led his army to retreat north.

In the morning, 35,000 cavalry escorted a large amount of food, grass and wealthy women to about twenty miles south of Zongcheng County. At this time, news came from the mail in front that more than 40,000 Song troops were found in Qinghe County forty miles away, and they cut off their way.

Wanyan Jiemu immediately summoned several ten thousand men to discuss countermeasures. All ten thousand men agreed unanimously that they would never give up the spoils and concentrate their forces to defeat the Song army in one battle.

Even the leaders of Bohai and Goryeo, who had been unwilling to contribute to the siege, also took a picture of their two 10,000 cavalrymen were willing to launch their first attack for the vanguard.

Wanyan Jiemu placed the spoils and women in Zongcheng County, and ordered a thousand people to be in charge of guarding him. He led 34,000 cavalry slowly to the north, preparing to attack the 40,000 Song troops who were blocking the road.

At this time, the 40,000 Song army had quietly become 80,000 Song army. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's 40,000 troops appeared in the northeast direction, while the 40,000 troops led by Cao Meng had been lined up, and the two sides were about one mile apart, with flags waving, guns and spears like forests, and murderous auras were rippling in the wilderness.

Wanyan Jiemu looked at the Song army that suddenly appeared in the northeast. His heart suddenly sank into the abyss. He was trapped, and there were more than 40,000 people on the other side.

He suddenly remembered the information he had received before. The 200,000 Song troops crossed the Yellow River. Was he facing these 200,000 Song troops?

But at this time, Wanyan Jiemu had no choice. If she could defeat the Song army on the opposite side, she would simply go north directly. It would be better if she didn't want those spoils.

Wanyan Jiemu turned around and glanced at the ready Jin soldiers, and had to bite the bullet and ordered: "The Bohai tribe and the Goryeo tribe are ready to attack!"

Five thousand cavalrymen slowly set off, including three thousand Jin soldiers from the Bohai tribe and two thousand Jin soldiers from the Korea tribe. Five thousand of them acted as vanguards to sweep the enemy's crossbow formation and clear the road for the army behind them.

This is the consistent tactic of the Jin soldiers, sacrificing a small number of troops to create opportunities for the attacks of the army behind them.

The three thousand cavalry leaders were the Jin soldiers of the Bohai tribe, and they would be the main force of the attack, and the two cavalry battalions of the Goryeo Army followed behind, and they would make their efforts as a follow-up.

The rumbling drum sounded suddenly, and the excited war horses sniffed heavily. The spear was lifted up, the sword was unsheathed, and five thousand Jin soldiers were launched. Two thousand Korean cavalry were divided into left and right wings, covering the phalanx of three thousand Bohai cavalry, like a torrent rushing out of the breach dam, pounced towards the Song army.

The Song army was still as stable as Mount Tai, motionless. Only ten thousand crossbowmen slowly raised their divine arm crossbows and extended into the air at a thirty-degree angle. There were five rows of crossbowmen, each row was separated by two steps. They would fire at the other side at 150 steps and attack the other side with five rounds of launch.

Behind the crossbowmen were five thousand musketeers, and they also had five rounds of shooting, using the joint attack of muskets and crossbow arrows to give the Jin soldiers a head-on attack.

Behind the musketeers were five thousand heavy armored infantry, whose mission was to cover the retreat of crossbowmen and musketeers.

On both sides of the large array are 20,000 cavalrymen, and 10,000 people are deployed on both sides.

At the same time when the two armies were about to break out, Li Yanqing led a 100,000 army to appear ten miles south of Zongcheng County. They quickly came to Zongcheng County from both the south and the southwest directions.

The three-thousand-gold cavalry were getting closer and closer. The shield raised by the cavalry formed a black shield wall. The cavalry was not fast, and it had already taken three hundred steps. At this time, the ten thousand men, who led the first round of waves, roared, "Kill!"

The three thousand cavalry suddenly accelerated, and they ran quickly and rushed towards the Song army formation. Cao Meng ordered sternly: "The crossbowman is ready to shoot!"

Ten thousand crossbowmen picked up the crossbow arrows, aiming the cold arrows at the sweeping Jin soldiers. The crossbowmen kept adjusting the shooting distance through looking at the mountain.

"Two hundred steps...one hundred and fifty steps..."

"Shoot!" Cao Meng issued a shooting order. In the first round, two thousand crossbow arrows rose into the air, and instantly disappeared, and rushed into the enemy group with the whistling sound of the wind.

The Jin soldiers' speed slowed down and they raised their shields to greet each other. There was a jingle and jingle, mixed with the screams of someone being caught in the middle. The rain of arrows was too dense, and hundreds of people were still caught in the arrows.

The newly equipped shield of the Jin soldiers actually blocked the first round of arrow rain of the Song army. Then, the second and third rounds, the overwhelming rain of arrows roared, so dense that it was breathless. The Song army used the five-wheel shooting method to keep the bow and arrows at the most intense strike.

The Jin soldiers were extremely difficult to advance. Every step they took had to pay the price of hundreds of people being killed by arrows. They could not fight back. Although the Song army's arrow rain was too dense, they could not make any moves.

More importantly, their bows and arrows were far less sharp than the Song army's divine arm crossbow, and their range was not that far. In just thirty steps, the Song army shot a total of two rounds at the Jin soldiers like heavy rain, with a saturation strike of 20,000 arrows, and the Jin soldiers also suffered nearly 2,000 casualties.
