Zhang Zhen put down the telescope, looked at the sun on the horizon, and cursed: "Straight bitch, the timing of the Jin army's defeat is so embarrassing! It's not a good idea to chase now, and it's not a good idea not to chase, so what should I do?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "No matter what, if the Jin army escapes Qingjian and flees all the way south, it will be difficult to catch up! Order the cavalry troops to bite the Jin army tightly! Escape into Qingjian City.

That’s okay, if you escape, you won’t be able to catch him!”

After listening to the order, the ordering soldiers on one side picked up the order flag and waved it quickly. The ordering soldiers on the opposite mountain ridge also picked up the flag and accepted the order. After a while, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and the cavalry roared past, chasing the Jin soldiers.

This is the semaphore in Wang Xiao's hunting army. With the semaphore, command is much more convenient, and it is convenient for the command to be directly directed to the battalion. In large-scale battles, when necessary, the corps commander can directly command the regiment, and the division commander can directly command the battalion.

, are all possible.

Based on this set of flags, Wang Xiaolie's battlefield command system is more than one level higher than that of the Jin Army. The larger the battlefield, the more obvious this advantage becomes.

After handing the binoculars to the soldiers, Zhang Zhen said to Cheng Liangsong: "It's too early to leave Hei. Let the three battalions in front, left and right pursue them quickly. We will set up camp in Kuanzhou tonight!"

Cheng Liangsong nodded in agreement and made arrangements immediately.

After receiving the order, Wang Zhongfu said: "The commander is too impatient. At this time, it gets dark early, and the sun sets in the blink of an eye. Even if we chase, how far can we chase? To get to Kuanzhou, I am afraid of the sky

It’s so dark.”

Shu Jiming said: "The Jin army is all cavalry. If we want to run away, it will be difficult for us to catch up. If we don't bite hard, what can we do?"

After speaking, command the soldiers of the headquarters to assemble urgently. Without any baggage or other items, they should immediately pursue them.

Zhang Zhen ordered the three battalions to catch up quickly, asking them to catch up immediately without bringing baggage and other supplies. The following troops should help them bring baggage.

After taking a short rest, the three battalions in front held the Jin army tightly and headed towards Qingjian City.

The Jin army fled in a hurry, and people kept falling behind and became prisoners of the Song army. They pursued them until they reached Kuanzhou, and it was already dark, so the Song army stopped. After another hour, the follow-up troops arrived and set up camp.

.

Zhang Zhen ordered the mutton and other things he brought to be cooked and the soldiers to have a full meal. The next day, the meal was prepared at Chou hour and set off on time at Yin hour.

There was no word for the night. The next day, before the moon set, Zhang Zhen's army left Kuanzhou and marched towards Qingjian City. When it was dawn, they had already arrived outside Qingjian City. Seeing the silence outside the city, Zhang Zhen ordered

The city was surrounded, especially with artillery set up outside the four gates.

Qingjian City is shaped like a pot, and its walls are made of earth and stone. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Since its completion, it has been the gateway to the north of Yan'an Prefecture. However, after artillery developed into field artillery, this kind of strong city was useless. It was blocked with a few artillery pieces.

Stay at the city gate, and then focus your artillery to blast a section of the city wall, which will become a large cemetery.

When the Song army first arrived, the Jin army in the city saw it and hesitated whether to flee or defend. Thinking again that the follow-up troops were about to arrive and were attacked from both inside and outside, how could the Song army outside the city be able to defend it? When the Song army finished their arrangements, they realized something was wrong.

There is no escape.

Seeing the red sun rising in the east, Zhang Zhen said: "Let the whole army rest for half an hour and start attacking the city!"

Half an hour later, the sun jumped into the sky and faded away its red light. Zhang Zhen stood in front of the city and said with a smile: "Qingjian City was originally built to defend against the Xia Kingdom, and the city wall in the north is particularly strong. We will not bully

Jin Army, just blast this city wall!"

After saying that, he waved his hand.

The flag in the hand of the messenger was waved down quickly, and more than a dozen cannons roared. As black smoke rose, the ground shook for a moment.

Standing on the city, Aqiha felt that the city wall was shaking violently under his feet. He could not stand upright and was so frightened that he could not help but tremble. He said to his left and right: "The wall is shaking so hard, how can we stop the Song army? As long as they fire two or three more cannons."

, I’m just afraid that the city wall will fall down!”

After saying that, he looked around and saw that most of his men were injured. Looking at himself was like looking at a dead person.

Sighing, A Qiha said: "When the Song army came in the morning, they hesitated and were surrounded in the city. Alas, how can we deal with the current Song army? If it were just artillery, it would be okay, and the cavalry would charge.

There won’t be many casualties. What kind of monsters are there today that can attack our army and blow them up? How can we fight this battle? Instead of waiting for death in this city, it’s better to go out and give it a try!”

As soon as he finished speaking and was about to summon his men to leave the city, the Song Army fired another shot. This time it shook even more violently, and Aqiha accidentally fell to the ground.

Standing up and patting his butt, Aqiha said angrily: "You bastard, you are really mad at me! Sons, pick up your swords and guns and follow me out of the city to fight!"

After saying that, he quickly walked away from the city wall.

When they arrived in the city, Asaha gathered his troops on the middle street. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of a cannon. The northern city wall was swaying and some places had collapsed.

A Qiha suddenly pulled out the steel knife and roared: "The strong city cannot be relied on. Qingjian City cannot stop the Song army. My sons, follow me out of the city and fight to the death with the Song army!"

After saying that, he got on his horse and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate. Aqiha took the lead and rushed out of the city.

The Song army outside the city saw the city gate opened, and the field artillery outside the gate was eagerly prepared. Aqiha walked through the long doorway and walked to the suspension bridge. The artillery was already firing.

Azha watched a cannonball flying towards him, and it seemed that he was unhappy. But before he could make any reaction, the shell had already hit him. He flew out with Azha's body, and the shell hit the team and crushed him out.

A bloody road.

The Jin soldiers behind who were running out of the city were stunned. After a moment of silence, they shouted, turned around and ran towards the city.

Zhang Zhen hurriedly went outside the city gate and raised his telescope to watch.

At this time, the Jin army had already ran back into the city. However, the general was killed by a cannonball in front. No one was responsible for the moment, and even the city gate was not lowered.

At this moment, a cannon shot was heard. With the sound of the cannon, the northern city wall completely collapsed.

Zhang Zhendao: "The Jin army in the city has opened the gate, but at this time it collapsed the city wall. Alas, this battle was fought in a confused manner."

After saying that, the order was passed. The front army and the left army rushed into the city to kill the enemy, while the center army and the right army responded from behind. After thinking about it, he ordered artillery to guard the city gate and prevent the Jin army from escaping from the city. This battle

We must annihilate them all and don't let the enemy escape again.

For a time, the shouts of killing shook the sky and resounded throughout the city. The Song army poured in from the collapsed city wall, and the Jin army in the city was in chaos.

Zhang Zhen looked at the sun in the sky. It was now rising into the sky, and there was still a hint of coolness in the air. However, the sound of killings on the battlefield was loud, and it was quite hot.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhen said to Cheng Liangsong beside him: "I think this battle is always too easy. The Jin army had almost no power to fight back, so they were defeated again and again, and were annihilated in Qingjian City.

.The Jin army is known for being good at fighting and should not be so easy to fight."

Cheng Liangsong said: "Let's see who we want to compare with. How much has our army changed in the past year? Every change is a great improvement in combat effectiveness. Originally we were slightly stronger than Jin Bing, but now, we don't know where we are stronger.

Went. Facing the Jin Army, isn’t it like chopping melons and slicing vegetables?”

Zhang Zhen nodded: "That makes sense. But no one knows how much stronger we are than the Jin army. And Xuanfu himself can't tell clearly. Before every war, Xuanfu said that we should concentrate our superior forces and try our best to outnumber the enemy.
