    To the north of Huangwei Mountain, there are Jurchen camps all over the mountains and plains.  Every night, there are bonfires like a sea, but looking down from the military stronghold on the mountain, it is frightening.  This road is the town of Zonghan, because it crosses Huangwei Mountain and goes straight into the Fenhe River Valley, which is convenient for the army to pass. Moreover, the pass military stronghold here is slightly cruder than the dangerous defense system at Yanmen Pass.  Whenever it is daytime, you can see the Jurchen army and horses galloping back and forth, but they are going to plunder food and crops.  At night, there were also fires moving like dragons, shuttling back and forth to intimidate the morale of the defenders in front of them.  Relying on their strength advantage, the Jurchen army and horses spread out over a wide front. They drove many shabby-dressed Cangtou soldiers with incomplete equipment to suppress other auxiliary troops. They kept testing along the vast front, looking for whether there was a passable mountain path that could bypass the army.  The road to the village.  As long as a flaw is found, the Jurchen elites who have been waiting will swarm in and tear the gap wider and wider until it can no longer be blocked.  In addition to looking for flaws, a series of tentative battles also broke out.  The Jurchen army was still mainly composed of auxiliary armies and tribal armies. They found some military strongholds that seemed slightly isolated and surrounded them and attacked them.  The best way to attack a stronghold is when you don¡¯t have enough equipment.  The Hulu's first choice was to expel the survivors and fill the trenches with their lives.  However, after Xiao Yan's management and transfer of Yunnei, he finally retreated and adopted the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country.  At this moment, Yun Nei no longer had enough people to be driven by the Jurchen raiders.  Even if some were captured, they would still have to work in the camp.  The Jurchen Tatars are unwilling to use thousands of lives to fill the military stronghold. They really do not have such conditions.  You can¡¯t break the stronghold with brutal methods, it¡¯s the only option.  It means strong bows, hard crossbows, and shooting cover.  Then use the auxiliary troops to carry side cards to cover.  Then fill the trench with soil, open the attack channel, and then use the simple long ladder ant to attach the moth to the wave.  It can be imagined that the effectiveness of this method of attacking the stronghold is low.  First of all, let¡¯s not talk about whether we can use strong bows and powerful crossbows to suppress the defenders on the wall.  Even if hundreds of lives are spent to clear the way, ants and moths will swarm up.  Whether it can continue to invest troops to occupy the wall is also a huge problem. The defenders are concentrated and are not disturbed by the firepower projected by the attackers.  An easy counterattack can take back the temporarily captured wall. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? being carried out patiently and carefully in soil work, to separate the military stronghold that they wish to capture, and then patiently consuming the troops and defensive equipment in the military stronghold little by little.  But how could the defense system run by Han Shizhong be just isolated military strongholds that the Jurchen Tatars could attack?  They can all support each other, and when one is attacked, the other will come to their aid.  Moreover, the defenders were a strong force that dared to go out to fight in the field.  With the level of attack by the Jurchen Tatars, it is really difficult to open the defense here.  The Jurchen Tatars spread out the front and tried repeatedly, but they could not find an undefended mountain road that could pass a certain number of troops and horses.  After trying to attack several small military strongholds, they were attacked by the defenders' arrows, crossbows, ash bottles and other defensive equipment.  Many lives were lost, and the village wall was never touched once.  Deliberately showing flaws to lure the defenders into battle.  The defenders came out, but they relied on the military camp to fight in formation. In the field battle in Yicheng, they defeated the attacking troops who mainly suppressed the auxiliary troops such as Cang Tou.  If the defense line here is guarded by a strong army, it can be said to be impregnable.  Moreover, the Song Dynasty could afford it compared to the Jurchens.  The Jurchens only had broken Yunnei, while the Song Dynasty was backed by Hedong Road and the Kinki land, which could continuously transfer military supplies and grain.  As long as the Jurchen Tatars are exhausted, Han Shizhong will not dare to launch a large-scale counterattack!  The defense line here is stable, and Han Shizhong is not worried about Yue Fei.  The terrain around Yanmen Pass is more dangerous and the passes are more solid than here!  However, the Jurchen Tatars spread the front line like this, using expendable auxiliary tribal troops to repeatedly test and launch small-scale attacks.  But there is also an advantage, that is, it firmly attracts the main force of Han Shizhong's Shenwu Evervictorious Army to the defense line.  Whenever defending versus attacking, a complete line of defense must be maintained.  The defender actually consumes more troops than the attack and defense.  Because the attacker can choose the focus at will and concentrate its forces to attack and fight.  The defenders must maintain the integrity of the entire defense system and cannot be completely unprepared anywhere.  Once there is a slight wavering, the highly mobile Jurchen horse might be able to sneak in through the gap, and the entire line of defense will be shaken!  By relying on the defense line to fight, you can certainly wait for work.  But it also tied its troops firmly to the defense line.  Shenwu's ever-victorious army has more than 16,000 regular soldiers, together with auxiliary troops, distributed in large and small military villages.  A certain reserve team must also be gathered just in case.  Even if Han Shizhong wanted to take care of the direction of Kelan's army, he really couldn't spare any troops.  The only hope is that King Yan's army, which has already set off for the expedition, will arrive soon.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The morning wind is strong  , got into the watchtower of Gaoyan Village, a famous place in the south of Huangwei Mountain, whining?????? Han Shizhong stayed in this watchtower.  Zong Han personally led the army to press him in front of him. No matter how broad-minded Han Shizhong was, he would not dare not go to the front line in person and keep abreast of the movements of the Jurchen troops and horses at any time.  Gaoyan Village is located in the middle, and there is enough water for the horses to drink. The terrain is also slightly wider and flatter, which makes it easier for him to personally lead the troops and horses to support him.  Therefore, this place was chosen to set up the Chinese army.  As soon as the sky became brighter, Han Shizhong jumped off the bed and rubbed his face vigorously.  The personal guard had already brought a basin of hot soup for him to wash up.  Outside the enemy tower, there were already Sima and others in the army, waiting to report on the situation last night.  Han Shizhong wiped his face with a square towel and ordered without raising his head: "Let them come in and report their military intelligence one by one!" The guard opened the door, and the cool morning breeze suddenly rushed in, which made Han Shizhong feel refreshed.  The generals waiting outside and the Sima responsible for all aspects of affairs filed in, reporting on the military situation from yesterday to the present one by one.  "The Tatars besieged Shangdeng Stronghold, with the Birds' Auxiliary Army and Zahu as the mainstay, and the Jurchen Army's Horse Supervising the Formation. After a battle, thirty-seven were killed, and ** people were captured alive, and no one was asked about the Birds' military situation.  There were about one Jurchen Tatar in charge, but they turned around and left. "The Tatars were attacked while carrying firewood across the trench.  Found it. A burst of arrows were fired. Then the soldiers raised fire and marched out of the village. There was a third-level Jurchen in the left wing to ask for a reward. "   Last night, another 3,000 stones of grain and fodder, 27,000 bunches of grass were transferred, and 400 infantry axes were sent from the Hedong Railway Supervisor. However, the iron smelted in Hedong was not as brittle as those sent from Bianliang.  The weapons are sharp. Please tell me whether the four hundred long axes should be kept in the warehouse or distributed. " "The transport carts are very damaged, and the livestock on Hedong Road are also insufficient.  He said that he has tried his best. If this continues, the food, fodder and other military supplies that will be delivered will be less. "Han Shizhong snorted and didn't want to deal with these trivial matters.  Since retreating to the border defense line on the east edge of the river, there have been sporadic and continuous battles.  The beheadings are basically at dozens of levels, and they are basically auxiliary troops.  Last night, fifty-one people were beheaded in Jiasi Village, and there were three real Jurchens among them, so they reported them to the police for reward.  When did the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army fall to this level?  As for the transportation from the rear, although the war is all about logistics.  No qualified military general does not value this aspect.  But the defense line here has been in operation since the Shenwu Changsheng Army arrived in Hedong.  Accumulate food, grass and military supplies.  Now, not only is there a mountain of goods, but there is no shortage, it is that transportation to the rear is cut off.  It also consumes much more energy than the Jurchen Tatars in person.  The defense line is solid and there is no shortage of military resources.  Logically speaking, as a general, you should be satisfied.  But Han Shizhong couldn't sleep well these days.  Every night, I am always worried that something has happened somewhere!  The biggest concern is the west side of my house.  Therefore, he always has a military horse in his hand, ready to support in that direction at any time.  According to Han Shizhong's thinking, he could still fight with his family's army and horses.  Even if the Jurchens break through from the direction of Kelanzhou, can the Zhejia family be able to hold on for a while?  At that time, even if he turned around and rushed back to provide reinforcements, it should be too late, right?  Just when Han Shizhong was preparing to brace himself up to deal with these military details.  Suddenly, the sound of fast horse hooves was heard outside, and countless horsemen were rushing towards the center of Gaoyan Village!  Han Shizhong pushed aside the general who was still waiting for his instructions and strode out of the enemy tower.  Standing on the wall of the village and looking up, I saw more than ten riders coming at a gallop with flags and hunting dances on their backs!  It is said that before the cavalry entered Gaoyan Stronghold, they shouted loudly: "The Tatars came out in full force and attacked the stronghold in a big way!" Han Shizhong was startled, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Put some armor on someone! Where is Niu Gao? Where is the fool Qu?  ? Come up with me and take a look! ¡± ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~ Countless horns were sounding.  Teams of Jurchen war horses seemed to cover the area within sight.  On the ground, dust swirled, and groups of Jurchen troops and horses rushed towards the south.  In addition to the auxiliary tribal troops, there were also Jurchen warriors, surging like an iron stream, reflecting pieces of metallic light.  Thousands of troops and horses, with the auxiliary army and tribal army as the vanguard, penetrated into the thousands of ravines in Huangwei Mountain, and at least at the same time, launched an attack on dozens of military strongholds!  There are more than ten or twenty thousand soldiers and horses?  And there are also large groups, coming from the north in an endless stream!  This offensive has been launched since it was dark.  They were beaten into a pot of porridge in front of dozens of military strongholds.  During this all-out offensive, the Jurchen army no longer cared about human life, and just stalked the military stronghold.  If one team cannot attack, the other team will attack again.  And against the military stronghold, a camp was also builtThe land seems to be preparing for a long siege!  When Han Shizhong rushed to the front line, the fighting had lasted for half a day.  What Han Shizhong arrived at was a beacon tower high on the mountain. The scene in front of him was unobstructed.  In front of many military camps, the sound of killing was loud.  They saw the Jurchen army and horses rolling up one after another like a tidal wave.  In the military stronghold, there were many strong bows and crossbows, fired as densely as locusts.  Some military strongholds also had stone cannons. The polished stone projectiles flew out and fell into the densely packed Jurchen army, leaving a bloody mess.  After the Jurchen army and horses attacked and approached the village wall, the gate of the army camp would open from time to time. The heavy-armored infantry warriors of the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army came out with long swords. The cold light rolled around and attacked the Jurchens who were approaching the village wall layer by layer.  The troops and horses were killed and dispersed!  The number of lives consumed by the Jurchen army in half a day was several times greater than before!  What Han Shizhong saw was a scene of fierce fighting across the board.  The Jurchen army and horses still looked determined to fight to the death, as if they were ready to continue fighting like this.  Even if it costs people's lives and gnaws it with teeth, it will still break open the defense line of Shenwu's ever-victorious army!  Niu Gao, who was standing next to Han Shizhong, was full of blood and punched his fist fiercely: "General, let's fight like this! Pull the Chinese army up. Follow the Jurchen Tatars to the end! Look how many lives these dog Tatars have!"  " Qu Gao behind Niu Gao couldn't help but nod. This sentence also deeply touched his heart.  Following Han Shizhong, apart from fighting one or two ranger battles in Yunnei and beheading several Tatars, it was extremely difficult to see blood at other times.  I've been bored for a long time.  The Jurchen Tatars seem to be desperate this time. Why don't they kill them?  But Han Shizhong¡¯s face was as dark as water.  Such an offensive seems tragic.  But the defense system established by the Song Dynasty camp, coupled with the strong defense of Shenwu Changsheng Army, how can it be filled with human lives?  How long can such an offensive last?  Is it possible for a famous general to throw away human lives so lightly?  The mountain wind carried the sound of killing, but Han Shizhong was horrified.  This is to hold back the main force of Shenwu¡¯s ever-victorious army!  For such an offensive, in addition to the more than two thousand elite Chinese troops he still has at his disposal.  Other forces must be firmly anchored on the defensive line, at least until the offensive has not declined, and cannot be deployed.  And the Jurchen Tatars risked so many lives to pin their own main force in the front, needless to say, there are opportunities elsewhere to take advantage of!  There can be no problem with Yue Fei, then the west has opened a gap for the Jurchen Tatars! ????????????????????????????? What on earth do the Zhejiajun of the treacherous mother-in-law do for food?  Han Shizhong turned around fiercely and waved his hand and ordered: "Send the Chuanqi out to inquire about the military situation in the west! Report back quickly!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zong Han was wearing a slightly worn armor, looking back to the east, looking at the Jurchen armor in the distance  The soldiers drove the auxiliary troops and tribal troops forward and joined the flesh and blood grinding mill in front of the Song Army's camp.  And what was rolling toward the west in front of him was an army composed mainly of real Jurchens!  This time, out of the 100,000 troops heading south, there were 60,000 Jurchens.  There are more than 20,000 people in front of Yanmen Pass, and his subordinates directly command 40,000 people.  In addition to the 10,000 people left behind, led by Xi Yin, who drove the auxiliary tribal troops to hold back the Southern Dynasty troops in front of them.  The rest of the elite went westward and went south along the gap that could be opened by silver magic!  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Although a strong army suddenly emerged, the others were still vulnerable!  So, let¡¯s see which of us moves faster!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
