Pine Zikou is located between Lingxian and Ding'an.

The terrain here is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The west is where the Huliu River in later generations is located. Although the Huliu River at this time was still an inconspicuous river, the water flow was turbulent and difficult to move forward. The Huliu River is a barrier to the west, and the Songzikou is a hilly area, so it is difficult for the cavalry to launch a charge, which offsets the huge advantage of the Jin army in terms of cavalry.

The pine nut mouth is shaped like Songzi, with narrow in the north and wide in the south.

If the Jin soldiers want to retake Lingxian County, they must pass through Songzikou.

However, on the second day after the Lingxian was captured, Yu Yin ordered Zhang Yan to force the attack on Songzikou and take it under the control of the Song army.

Therefore, two battlefields in Ruzhou and Songzikou were formed in the northern region.

On the third day of December, Wanyan Zonghan commanded a large army to the Ding'an County, and immediately dispatched troops and launched a fierce attack on Songzikou. The head general of the Song army was Wu Jie. Yu Yin handed over the military power to Wu Jie, and even he had to obey Wu Jie's command.

Yu Yin knew that marching and fighting was never his strength.

The situation on this battlefield is changing so it is difficult for him to control the situation. On the contrary, Wu Jie's talent in this area is far stronger than Yu Yin. Yu Yin was self-aware, so he simply delegated power to Wu Jie and completely handed over the prince's personal army to Wu Jie for control.

Wu Jie was not polite. After obtaining command, he immediately ordered Gao Chong and He Yuanqing to lead the cavalry to station on the flank of Songzikou to leverage the cavalry's maneuver advantage and harass the Jin soldiers. Then, Zhang Yan and Fu Xuan defended in sequence, forming a layered defense line outside Songzikou and Songzikou to resist the attacks of the Jin soldiers.

After everything was arranged, Wanyan Zonghan's vanguard army arrived at Songzikou.

The two sides did not conduct any tests and then fought each other in close combat... If Wanyan Zonghan knew that the Song army had the Palm Thunder in his hand, he might have been more cautious. However, since the scouts of the horse were not sure what kind of weapon the Palm Thunder was, they only said that Song army had a firearm, which was amazingly powerful, so Wanyan Zonghan didn't care.

But when they were in conflict, the Song army threw raindrops into the palm of their hands.

Chen Gui brought nearly 10,000 palm thunders, which had been spent more than 1,000 in Laolongling. He gave Yue Fei five thousand pieces, and Yu Yin still had more than 3,000 palm thunders in his hand. As the Liupin Mountain Fire Artillery Camp was opened in the Zongshi Middle School, Yu Yin knew that the palm thunders would definitely be able to be produced on a large scale from then on, so he no longer saved the use. More than 1,000 palm thunders flew out and landed in the Jin army. The explosion sounded endlessly, and balls of fire rose, and the Jin soldiers were blown up and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.

"It's indeed a powerful weapon!"

Wu Jie stood on the watchtower and watched the battle with Yu Yin.

Looking at the fire rising in the distance and the smoke filled the gunpowder, I couldn't help but praise it.

He was born in the army and could naturally see that the appearance of this palm thunder would inevitably change the future war pattern...

He turned around and said to Yu Yin: "Mr., if this thunder in his palm can be promoted in the army, the horse will be in the near future."

Is it just around the corner?

Yu Yin smiled!

He discovered that he actually liked the scenery so much.

Seeing that the Jin soldiers were in chaos, Wu Jie ordered three cannons to fire.

Gao Chong He Yuanqing rushed out from both sides, causing the Jin soldiers to be defeated. However, Wanyan Zonghan was indeed extraordinary and immediately ordered to stabilize his position and block the pursuit of the Song army. As the defeated army gathered, the Song army slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

As the sun sets, smoke filled the mouth of the pine nut, as if it was a bloody mist.

"Mr. Lang, I'm afraid there will be a hard battle next!"

Yu Yin nodded and glanced at Wu Jie, "No matter how hard it is, I am afraid it will not be more thrilling than Chen Qiao's situation. We just need to stick to Songzikou and block the enemy's bandits. Xiaozhong's husband, I think it will take a big move in the future."

An excitement immediately appeared on Wu Jie's face.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Battle of Matsukokou is becoming increasingly fierce.

The Yanshan war has made countless people worry and have thoughts.

Wanyan Wu Qimai knew that the Battle of Yanshan would determine the future direction of the Jin Dynasty, so he did not dare to relax at all. He even issued an order for Wanyan Zonghan to fight with all his might and must win. In order to support the Battle of Yanshan, Wanyan Wu Qimai ordered people to go to Kaifeng and urged Yelu Yuji to put pressure on the Song Dynasty court; on the other hand, he sent the Marshal Wanyan Jiemu to send troops to the collapsed ridge, and it was necessary to ask the Thirteen tribes of the collapsed ridge to jointly capture Yanshan Prefecture.

The Thirteen Tribes of the Cast Ridge have lived in the north for a long time and are almost ruled by the Jin Dynasty.

When the Great Liao was the most powerful, the Jiedushi of the Burning Ridge was established to suppress the Thirteen Tribes of the Burning Ridge. The Liao Kingdom was destroyed, and as a former ally of the Jurchens, the Thirteen Tribes of the Burning Ridge developed rapidly. In name, they surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, just like they surrendered to the Great Liao Dynasty, but in fact, they did not listen to the orders.

Wanyan Wu Qimai did not want to borrow troops from the collapsed ridge, because in that case, it would inevitably reduce its control over the northern desert area.

But the current situation no longer allows him to preserve his strength.

If the Battle of Yanshan fails, the Jin Kingdom's rule in the northern border of the Seychelles will inevitably suffer a huge blow, and he is definitely not able to bear it.

In addition, the Jurchens have not had many troops. Although there are troops stationed on Zhongjing Road, they should prevent Zhongshi Road from sneaking into Zhongjing. They can only deploy defense from Songziling to Xinghua line. To have more defense but insufficient attack, the embarrassing situation facing the Jurchens at present.

However, the Song army did not need to worry about these things. As the Yanshan War began, the Privy Council continued to transport troops to Yanshan Prefecture.

Zong Ze, the commander of the Eastern Road of the Gyeonggi, led his troops to cross the river and march towards Yanshan Prefecture; Huang Qianshan, the deputy commander of the Hejian army, ordered Han Shizhong to lead 8,000 people to help the battle. Zhang was in Xiangzhou to recruit troops, but unfortunately Du Chong, the prefect of Xiangzhou, did not cooperate, so the progress was slow. But even so, a large number of volunteers appeared.

Go to Yanshan and kill the enemy thieves!

This situation not only occurred on Hebei Road, but also responded to the Liangzhe Road, which was far away in the southeast.

Among them, Zhong Xiang, a native of Wuling, Dingzhou, is the most active.

Originally, he was preaching in the Dongting area. During the Battle of Kaifeng, he also sent his eldest son Zhong Zi'ang to the north to serve the king three hundred.

But I knew that the battle of Kaifeng was over halfway through.

Zhong Zi'ang returned to his hometown with a brave bravery...

Zhong Xiang himself has a great reputation in the Wuling area. He established an organization called the Township Society. Anyone who joins the Township Society can only pay a little money and get mutual assistance within the society. Zhong Xiang himself also claimed that the law divides the noble and the poor and the poor, not the good law. I practice the law. I should wait for the noble and the low, and both the rich and the poor.

Zhong Xiang himself was also supported by the locals and was respected as the "Sage of Heaven".

Before the Battle of Yanshan, Zhong Xiang was wanted by the government and led his people to prepare for the operation in Dongting Lake. However, when he heard that the Battle of Yanshan began, Zhong Xiang became hesitant. Under the persuasion of his adviser Wang Zuo, Zhong Xiang decided to lead his troops north to fight the enemy thieves.

In terms of the government, because it was possible to get rid of such an unstable factor as Zhong Xiang, it took back the wanted order.

In early December, Zhong Xiang led eight hundred righteous heroes, together with his eldest son Zhong Zi'ang and his powerful general Yang Yao, to the north to Yanshan.

Situations like Zhong Xiang are emerging in China.

Therefore, there is no pressure on the troops in the Zong army.

On the eighth day of the 12th month, Han Shizhong's troops arrived in Yanshan and were immediately sent to Gubeiguan to garrison to restrain the Jin soldiers of Zhongjing.

At this time, the Battle of Matsukokou had been going on for five days.

The prince's personal army was bleeding from the mouth of pine nuts, and there were heavy casualties.

The Jin soldiers also suffered heavy casualties and paid more than 3,000 lives in just five days.

Wanyan Zonghan could no longer keep his mind calm. He immediately ordered to concentrate his troops and continue to attack, and it was necessary to seize Matsuko's mouth within three days.

However, on the night of the eighth day of December, a heavy snow forced Wanyan Zonghan to temporarily stop attacking.

The snow was very strong, and thick snow accumulated overnight, making it difficult to move forward. The Song army was defensive at Songzikou and was less affected. If the Jin army continued to attack for a strong force, it would probably have to pay a heavier price.

"Mr. Dalang, you can't do it so recklessly anymore!"

The strategist smiled bitterly and persuaded Wanyan Zonghan, "The wolf master has sent the lord to borrow troops from the collapsed ridge.

The Baidadan people and the Nibage people have also arrived in Hongzhou, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Ding'an in two days at the latest. Instead of letting the men take the risk of fighting to the death like this, it is better to wait for the Baidadan people and the Nibage people reinforcements to arrive and launch a fierce attack.

Didn’t the Wolf Lord say that reinforcements from the collapsed ridge can arrive at ten days at the latest.

When Langjun has sufficient troops, he naturally doesn’t need to worry about anything else. He can naturally take the lead and take down the pine nut.”

The words of the strategist made Wanyan Zonghan feel excited.

Indeed, the deaths and injuries of the Jin soldiers in the past few days are too serious.

The Jurchen population is not large. If there are any more casualties like this, even if Matsukokou is hit, it will be unable to launch a counterattack.

Holding the anger in his heart, Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth and said, "Let Na Nan'er be arrogant for a few more days!"

Immediately, Wanyan Zonghan ordered the withdrawal of troops, retreated to Anding County, and waited for reinforcements to arrive.

At the same time, the war in Ruzhou was temporarily stopped.

However, it was not Wanyan Loushi who took the initiative to withdraw his troops, but the Song army who took the initiative to withdraw from Ruzhou.

Jinshan County is a small town with a small population.

After the Song army occupied it, they moved all the locals to Yanshan Prefecture. The fierce battle lasted for several days, which made the county town extremely devastated...

Seeing this, Yue Fei knew that if he continued to fight, he would have to fight in a close way.

Head-on, the Song army is really not a rival to the Jin soldiers. Originally, relying on the support of the city, he could still have some advantages. If the city is gone... the city has been broken anyway, so it is useless to continue defending. So Yue Fei decisively ordered to withdraw from Jinshan County and lead his troops to retreat to Shimen Pass. He and Zhang Hengpian divided into two groups, one guarding Shimen Pass and the other guarding Juyong Pass, forming a cross-border attack on Ruzhou. If the Jin soldiers attack Shimen Pass, Zhang Xian could send troops to harass him, and vice versa...

After spending more than 2,000 lives, Wanyan Loushi finally took over Ruzhou.

But Ruzhou has become a ruin. When Yue Fei retreated, a fire burned most of Jinshan County, which was ruined. Looking at the ruins in front of him, Wanyan Loushi couldn't help but smile bitterly. In name, he seemed to have won and regained Jinshan County. But what's the use of such a broken city? He paid two thousand sons' lives in vain.

Suddenly, I had an ominous premonition in my heart: Could it be that my good luck in Dajin has been exhausted? (To be continued...)
