In the town guarded by the Northern Prefecture Army, countless Jin soldiers climbed the city walls, and the stones shot by the catapults destroyed the arrow towers and houses, and wolf smoke was everywhere.

The Jin soldiers climbed the city wall and were intercepted and killed by the Beifu army. Jin soldiers kept rolling down the city wall and their bodies filled the trenches.

Bang!

The crossbow arrows shot by the large bed crossbow used by the Jin soldiers were like short spears inserted into the city wall, and the soil fell.

A soldier from the Northern Palace was shot by a giant crossbow arrow and had a wound as big as a bowl. He was nailed into the city wall by the crossbow arrow, vomiting blood in his mouth, and his eyes quickly lost their spirit.

"Phot the body into the city."

This is already the last town in Hedong that blocks the Jurchens, so Wanyan Zongwang will take down the town as soon as possible regardless of the price.

By occupying Hedong, the Jurchens had more strategic room.

Sitting in Hedong, the Jurchens can attack and retreat.

However, Xie Xuan's Northern Palace Army was like a nail, becoming a major concern for Wanyan Zongwang.

Under Wanyan Zongwang's instruction, the Jin soldiers used a catapult to throw rotten corpses, rats and other chemical weapons into the town, and wanted to create a plague in the town, which aggravated the difficulty of Xie Xuan defending the city.

The town of the Northern Prefecture Army was as solid as a rock. Wanyan Zongwang used all his methods to attack the city, digging tunnels, shooting corpses, burning the city gates, catapults and crossbows, and siege towers day and night, and the torches shone like day and day.

"The Northern Palace Army is really tenacious. This kind of siege intensity and ordinary troops have already been defeated."

Jin Wushu supervised the battle under the city wall. The Jin soldiers had been sieging the city day and night for three days, but there was still no sign of taking down the town.

The archery technique of the guillotine horse can also play a role in siege battles, while the three-layer heavy armored iron pagoda is almost useless in siege battles.

Xie Xuan's Northern Palace Army was not the Song soldiers who had no fighting spirit, but the Jiangbei warriors with national hatred and family hatred.

The Northern Army's troops originated from the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China. The northerners who fled to the south, especially the Xuzhou people, had no inferior field combat capabilities than the Jin soldiers.

A cavalryman galloped over and dismounted, and looked at Wanyan Zong. The Jin Wushu brothers asked urgently: "I heard that a Xia cavalry crossed the Yellow River from Fengling, conquered the city and occupied the land in Hedong. There was already a town and more than a dozen villages were captured!"

"What!?"

"Zhang Hua has not even wiped out the powerful enemies in Guanzhong, and has interfered in our Hedong affairs. He has so many troops?!"

Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu could not imagine that Zhang Hua would send troops to intervene in Hedong.

Before sending troops, Wanyan Zongwang and other Jurchen generals sent troops, they thought that Zhang Hua's troops were guarding against Qin Xiaogong, Cao Zhen, and Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang, had no time to distribute enough troops to intervene in Hedong.

Hedong and Guanzhong are separated by a Yellow River. If Zhang Hua sends tens of thousands of troops into Hedong, logistics supply will be a problem.

The Jurchens were best at cavalry, and they could use cavalry to cut off the food route of the Xia army and wipe out the tens of thousands of Xia army entering Hedong.

If Zhang Hua did not choose to send the main force, he would only send a few thousand people into Hedong to rescue Xie Xuan, and even more sheep would enter the tiger's mouth.

Therefore, after deduction by Wanyan Zongwang and others, it was concluded that Zhang Hua would not send troops to Hedong.

However, Zhang Hua still sent military generals and troops to support Xie Xuan and share the pressure for Xie Xuan.

Now, Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu must divide his troops to intercept the Xia cavalry.

"Nianhan, Wushu, you two lead 20,000 troops to defeat this Xia army and regain the lost territory."

"yes!"

Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Wushu two Jurchen generals led the kidnapped horse and Tiefutu to leave the Jin army camp.

A first-class town in Hedong was captured by Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army. Chen Qingzhi opened the granary, plundered the food and grass, and took it from the enemy.

"The remaining food and grass will be taken away by the civilians here."

Chen Qingzhi opened a warehouse and released grain, which made Jin Wushu finally reclaimed the food and grass collected from the people and flow back to the people.

Zhang Hua learned that Xie Xuan's Northern Palace Army was besieged by 80,000 Jin soldiers and was unable to draw the main army into Hedong, so he sent Chen Qingzhi to lead two thousand white robes into Hedong.

Wanyan Zongwang transferred most of the Jin soldiers to attack Xie Xuan, and the defense behind him was empty. Chen Qingzhi took advantage of the situation and the Baibou Army easily captured the first-level town.

Chen Qingzhi deliberately let the news spread, attracting Wanyan Zongwang to return to his post.

"There is really a lot of population in Hedong, but unfortunately we have limited troops and cannot move these populations."

Seeing that there were thousands of people in this town, Chen Qingzhi wanted to move to Guanzhong, but Chen Qingzhi had no extra troops.

"General, Jin soldiers are coming!"

"The Jurchens' reaction is so fast, we'll go to other places."

After the soldiers and war horses recovered their strength, Chen Qingzhi immediately took two thousand white robes and turned to attack other villages and towns.

Two thousand white robes left in a hurry, Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Wushu's 20,000 cavalrymen entered the town, but were lost.

"hateful!"

Jin Wushu discovered that Chen Qingzhi opened his warehouse and released grain, and gritted his teeth.

Wanyan Zonghan's eyes were cold and he was also upset by Chen Qingzhi: "Leave a thousand soldiers to guard this town and chase the food stolen by the unruly people. Wushu, we continue to chase this cavalry."

After Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Wushu were defeated, they followed Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army and chased and killed them all the way.

Chen Qingzhi had only two thousand cavalrymen, but these two thousand were eighth-level troops. Even if they encountered tens of thousands of enemy troops, they were not afraid. Wherever they went, they could easily break through the village and obtain food.

Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Wushu's cavalry could not catch up with Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army, and they did not dare to divide their troops to encircle and suppress them from all directions. This would instead be defeated by them.

If you can fight without division of troops, then Chen Qingzhi will probably be able to laugh out loud.

So Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Wushu were tortured and could not catch up with him, and did not have enough troops to lie on all sides, so they had no choice but to do anything to Chen Qingzhi.

Now Chen Qingzhi is like a group of bandits, wandering around the territory of the Jurchens in Hedong, attacking villages to obtain food and grass, which makes the Jurchens troubled him and cannot attack Xie Xuan with all their strength.

As long as the Jurchens cannot do their best, they will not be able to defeat the third-level town guarded by Xie Xuan, and Zhang Hua's strategic goal will be achieved.

Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Wushu chased Chen Qingzhi for three days and found something wrong.

Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army was too flexible and wandering around. Wanyan Zonghan and others could only follow Chen Qingzhi forever, but could not catch up with Chen Qingzhi.

The detailed work of the Jin soldiers has been discovered. The person sent by Zhang Hua to support Xie Xuan was Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army, with a number of about two thousand.

"It turned out to be a white-robed army. No wonder they can defeat everything they go."

"It is not a solution to continue chasing like this aimlessly."

"We have 60,000 troops besieging the Northern Prefecture Army, and the defenders in various places have to defend everywhere. They do not have enough troops to encircle and suppress the White-robed Army."

"It's better to try to drive the Baipao Army to the territory of the princes of Taiyuan in the north and let the local defenders encircle and suppress Chen Qingzhi. That prince, even we have to curry favor with it. Even Chen Qingzhi's Baipao Army, even if he meets that prince, he will probably have to hate him."

Jin Wushu was unable to win military affairs, so he began to use political skills to solve Chen Qingzhi.

Several years ago, Jin Wushu was unable to defeat Yue Fei on the battlefield, so he used political means to kill Yue Fei.

Jin Wushu ordered all towns in Hedong to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, recruit troops and horses, and close the city to defend themselves.

The Yellow Turban Army, defeated by the Jin soldiers, was also incorporated into the Jin soldiers, increasing the strength of the Jin soldiers.

As for the population and grain of the villages near the town, they moved to the town to strengthen the walls and clear the fields.

Then Wanyan Zonghan and Jin Wushu continued to pursue Chen Qingzhi and intentionally drove Chen Qingzhi to the border between Hedong and Taiyuan.

To the north of Hedong is Taiyuan, and even Wanyan Zongwang, Jin Wushu and others dare not easily provoke him.

Jin Wushu sent people to Fenzhou Town in the north and lobbled the garrison guarding Fenzhou Town to send troops to attack Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army.

Fenzhou Town is no longer within the sphere of influence of the Jurchens.

Because Chen Qingzhi attracted the Jurchen troops, the number of Jurchen troops besieging Xie Xuan decreased, and Xie Xuan's pressure was reduced sharply.

"kill!"

Taking advantage of the reduction of the Jurchens' troops, Xie Xuan took the initiative to lead the Northern Prefecture Army out of the city to attack Wanyan Zongwang's Jin army camp!

Five thousand Northern Prefecture troops followed Xie Xuan, captured the deer antlers from the Jurchen camp, entered the camp to set fire, fought with Wanyan Zongwang's Jin soldiers, and attacked Wanyan Zongwang's central army tent!

Xie Xuan was the founder of the Northern Prefecture Army. Although he was behind the Jiangzuo High Sect, he had a strong ability to lead troops to fight and did not choose to defend himself. After keenly finding the fighter opportunity, he decisively led the Northern Prefecture Army to attack and directly attack Wanyan Zongwang!

As long as Wanyan Zongwang is killed, the Jurchens will definitely be defeated.

The Northern Prefecture Army was a warrior in Jiangbei and was full of hatred for the Hu people. Xie Xuan pointed at the sword and defeated the Jin soldiers!

"die!"

The Northern Mansion Army swung its sword and actually cut out three inches of sword energy, cutting off the Jin soldiers' spear, and then another knife, a smear of blood splattered onto the tent of the animal skin.

A halo of fear formed around the Northern Prefecture Army, and all the Jin soldiers were frightened by the wind and grass, and their army was shaken.

These Northern Army soldiers were brave and good at fighting, and killed thousands of Jin soldiers in a row, killing all the way to Wanyan Zongwang's central army tent.

laugh!

The soldiers of the Northern Prefecture Army used their sword energy to chop the central tent of the Jin soldiers, and the rags were floating.

"Wanyan Zongwang is not in the Central Army's tent!"

The Northern Prefecture Army destroyed the central army's tent and found that there was no one inside. Wanyan Zongwang had already escaped.

"Return to town!"

Xie Xuan was worried that this was Wanyan Zongwang's trap. After capturing the central tent of the Jin soldiers, Xie Xuan led his troops back in time.

Before Wanyan Zongwang dispatched Tiefutu to form an encirclement, Xie Xuan's Northern Prefecture Army had retreated to the town.

Wanyan Zongwang, wearing iron armor, was behind a thousand iron pagodas.
