Some internal affairs could not delay the pace of the Zhao Song army for half a day. When March came, a 200,000 infantry and cavalry army broke out from Yuguan and ran towards the Jinxi Corridor.

This was a head-on collision between Song and Jin dynasties.

The Jurchens arranged heavy troops in Runzhou, Qianzhou and other places early because they knew very well how heavy the grudges between them and Zhao Song were.

The harm and shame they left to the Song people in Yanyun, Hebei, and Bianliang before, Zhao Song is not the legendary seven-second goldfish, how could he forget it in a blink of an eye?

But the Dangxiang people in the northwest had already failed and the Khitan was destroyed by them. The only enemy around Zhao Song was left is their Jurchen. How could they allow others to snore on the side of the bed? This is a sentence left by Zhao Song's ancestors. Next, the soldiers of the Song people will definitely be the Jurchens' turn.

Because Song people are now strong.

The strong cannot be humiliated, this is the true meaning that can be released from all over the world.

And Dajin was the one who insulted Zhao Song a few years ago.

In order to resist the threat from the south, the Jurchens secretly spent a few years and spent a lot of effort. They had obtained a lot of medicine powder formula from Zhao Song and conducted many experiments, but the results were all far inferior to the Song people's firearms.

Although Dajin never gave up on researching firearms, the senior figures among them knew it was impossible to catch up with Zhao Song in terms of firearms in a short period of time.

This is called the Jurchens being innately at a disadvantage in the upcoming Song and Jin war. They also reminded the Battle of the Central Plains during the Jingkang period and the Battle of Yanyun by the Young Master.

But they were unwilling to repeat the same mistakes. As early as when they left Yuguan, they mobilized labor to strengthen Runzhou, Qianzhou and Jinzhou at the northern end of the corridor, thickened and raised the city walls, built the urn city, and built the inner city castle...

The several cities that were built by the Jin people were not a joke, because it was directly related to their life and death.

Whether the Great Jin Kingdom can really gain a foothold in the old land of the Bohai Sea in Liaodong depends on whether they can block Zhao Song in the western Liaoning Corridor this time, or even whether they can defeat him back to the Central Plains.

And now, the torrent of Song army, like a storm, has been destroyed.

...

Yang Zaixing slightly carried the horse's head and looked at the Jurchen cavalry in front of him with a serious expression.

The opponent is not a waste. These Jurchen savages crawled out of the white mountains and black waters are all very brave. Although Yang Zaixing has not really fought with the Jurchens, his father Yang Bangyi is just a sesame official, and he is also a family of officials, and the news is still very well-informed.

The Jurchens were strong and loved to use heavy weapons such as iron bones and maces. They had strict military disciplines and were fearless of death. When the army headed south to the Central Plains that day, hundreds of thousands of troops arranged by the imperial court in Hebei and the Central Plains were as straight as paper and vulnerable.

The combat effectiveness is much better than that of the Dangxiang people.

This is the "achievement" that the Jurchens used their fists to make solidly.

But for Yang Zaixing, for the cavalry of the Song army, defeating and even crushing the Jurchens' horse army in the field battle was a major prerequisite for this battle against Jin.

If this cannot be done, the Song army is likely to fall into a quagmire on the battlefield in the Northeast.

In such a huge northeast, if the Jurchen cavalry could continue to show their might, the Song army's headaches would have been extended infinitely.

“Bee, bee, bee…”

The sound of the horn blowing spread throughout the team. The five hundred cavalry behind Yang Zaixing began to rectify the queue. They lined up and down ten long rows at the fastest speed, with each row of fifty cavalry up and down.

The bright sun shines, spears and sabers, all shine in the sun.

Yang Zaixing came to the front of the formation and looked at the Jurchen cavalry lined up opposite him, and his eyes were calm. The Jurchen cavalry on the opposite side were far less neat than the Song army lined up, after all, they had specially practiced it.

Zhao Gou did not press the rules of modern cavalry on the Song army because he knew very little about that thing. His only requirement was that when the horse army hedges, the cavalry group must be as dense as possible.

Perhaps, the latter's training has been transforming towards modern cavalry because of this requirement. Zhao Gou doesn't care about this. He only needs combat effectiveness!

Yang Zaixing raised the iron spear in his hand, and a camp flag behind him sounded "Whoo~". Looking at the Jurchen array opposite, he frowned and ordered: "Everyone has it, prepare--"

This is the first time he has met a fight with the Jurchens. Compared with the battles with the Dangxiang people in the northwest desert, he is still uncertain about the Jurchens and is very vigilant.

Because the Song army had no psychological disadvantages to Dangxiang, by the time Yang Zaixing took the battle, the Western Xia Kingdom had already declared its destruction, and only a few remnants were left in the desert next door. Then the Song army had a complete psychological advantage.

But the Jurchens are different now.

Although the army supervised by Wang Yuan had surrounded Runzhou, it would take a long time to take Runzhou.

Because there are more than 20,000 Jin soldiers in this city, not only the outer walls are extremely thick, but there are inner cities and fortresses in the city.

The Song army was able to overturn the city wall with medicinal powder, but what about after breaking the outer city? There were barricades and castles everywhere, so how could it be easy to take down?

The entire Runzhou, as well as the later Qianzhou, and Jinzhou at the northern end, have been fortified by the Jin people in a few years.

The Song army did not fight against Runzhou at all. No matter how aggressive the 200,000 infantry and cavalry left Yu Pass, they were so aggressive. In fact, after Wang Yuan led the army to the city of Runzhou, the first thing he did was to establish a blockade line, rather than "bombing" the city of Runzhou.

Just like the city locking method used by the Jin people to deal with Taiyuan City, the Song army now uses the same method to treat others.

As long as the fortifications are completed, the Song army only needs to stay 10,000 or 20,000 troops under the city, which is enough to make the Jin people in the city helpless. This is the same as the Jin people only watched Taiyuan City with a small number of troops, and then launched large-scale troops to continue to go south.

When you are not strong enough, the City Locking Method will deal with the city defenders. It will be completely trapped in the city for a long time and will defeat the enemy. Just like the siege of the Black Water Camp during the Qianlong period. But when your strength is strong enough, the City Locking Method will be a great method that can quickly get rid of such a hard bone like Runzhou.

The Song army had a total of 200,000 infantry and cavalry. Even if a considerable number of soldiers were scattered in Runzhou, Qianzhou and Jinzhou, they could still use the remaining 100,000 people to continue to attack Huanglong. They could even continue to deploy troops and reinforcements from the Central Plains...

Although the City Locking Method made both Song and Jin sides "lose heavy losses", compared with Zhao Songlai who had no threat to the west, the Jurchens' military strength was obviously very limited.

Not to mention that in the sequence of the Jin army, the real Jurchens only accounted for a part of it, and there were a large number of Bohai people, and the Liaodong Han people were there. When the Jin people were so powerful, the strong naturally got the support of the weak. But when the Jurchens were getting worse, what about? Will those Bohai people and Liaodong Han people still serve them obediently?

The consequences of this did not hinder Zhao Song's plan to destroy Jin.

As for how to solve the problem of Runzhou and other places, if they don’t surrender, how much strength can they lose if they keep surrounding each other? The Jurchen Jin Kingdom was destroyed, and they still had to resist stubbornly, so let’s tell them to die.
