As the cavalry on both wings gradually appeared, Zhong Shidao led the army, and the Tianzong Supervisory Cavalry unit led by Lio Luo faced the first wave of Jin Army cavalry offensive on both sides.

The Jin Army's all-conquering cavalry offensive was completely defeated now that their numbers were absolutely smaller than the Song Army's. They were unable to even support the infantry in the middle and had to deal with the Song Army's large cavalry with all their strength.

The sound of battle drums became louder and louder, the roaring hoofs of the cavalry on both wings shook the earth, and the bows and arrows fired by the Jin cavalry were like dense black clouds, roaring towards the Song cavalry overwhelmingly.

The shield infantry at the head of the Jin army on the middle road held their shields and marched quickly to the beat of drums. Although Zhao Ji opened a passage, they still strode with unstoppable arrogance.

On the side of the people's formation of the Song Dynasty, there were the Forbidden Army dressed as ordinary people and the Forbidden Army who arrived behind them, holding shields and following the spearmen behind them, forming the first line of defense.

A large number of civilians were interspersed in the rear, and the formation was scattered. Although they shouted long live the Supreme Emperor and the great victory of the Song Dynasty, their quality was obviously not as good as that of the Forbidden Army and the Jin Army.

The two sides seemed to be two waves of different colors meeting together, instantly photographed together, and then merged into each other.

In addition to the addition of a passage full of human blood and corpses in the middle line, it made the Jin army's formation look less coordinated and had an obvious flaw.

The armored soldiers immediately resisted when they came into contact. The spearmen from both sides stabbed each other and attacked. The soldiers in the rear who broke the formation carried iron-wrapped sharp points against the wood and knocked open the armored soldiers' line. Then the infantry from the rear officially began to charge into the enemy camp.

Long swords and scimitars were flying, spears and lances were whizzing by, and dense crowds were passing through like locusts, tens of meters deep and winding for thousands of meters.

The overwhelming fusion of enemies and ourselves, the dull shouts of death and short wailings made the air tremble.

Chen Dong followed the heavy armored soldiers and spearmen at a distance, holding a dagger in his hand. He was mentally preparing how to draw the sword, when he saw the shielded soldiers being knocked away, and more and more golden men appeared in the field of vision.

"Shaoyang! Hurry!"

"Ouch!"

"kill!"

"Help me!"

When Chen Dong's name was called, he turned around and saw that his classmate was chopped down by the Jin man's sword. The Jin man who slashed his classmate was in turn chopped down by the surrounding common people and the imperial army.

Suddenly the blood felt like it had solidified, and the fighting continued everywhere. Another golden man rushed in front of Chen Dong. He seemed to have his eyes on his Confucian scholar's robe, and stabbed him with a spear in excitement.

Looking at the head of the spear thrust towards him, Chen Dong's eyes froze, and he didn't know how to draw out the sword in his hand. When he saw that the head of the spear in front of him was suddenly hit crookedly, a word suddenly came to his ears.

"What's the use of riding a horse besides studying?"

Just when the head of the gun was still a few feet away from Chen Dong, a sword came over and chopped the gun crookedly. Under the halo of the supporting role, Chen Dong only had his clothes torn and was not injured.

The imperial guard who assisted him was a 40-year-old veteran with a haggard and wrinkled face, but his eyes were shining now. On one side of his body, the knife slashed across the golden man's chest and knocked him over.

The Song troops and civilians on both sides continued to penetrate deeper, allowing Chen Dong to have a short safe distance from the Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army ignored Chen Dong who had come back to his senses and continued to charge. Chen Dong was still shaking with the sword in his hand.

“What’s the use except reading??”

He was chanting in his mouth, Chen Dong's eyes were red, and for no other reason than that Chen Dong dared to lead people to make trouble and impeach the prime minister in front of the palace gate, it showed that he was not afraid of others killing him privately.

He values ​​fame more than life. This is the best qualification for him to become an official and prime minister after studying in the future. But now he is said to be of no use except studying? Wasn't he studying just for the Song Dynasty?

"Shaoyang, are we still going? Let's withdraw, or wait here and see what happens???"

"Go, why not go?"

Chen Dong looked at the melee area between the two sides more than ten meters ahead. The people were being hacked and killed by the Jin army and some were already trying to escape.

But more and more people rushed in and took over the battlefield because they did not set up supervisors to supervise the war. Chen Dong's momentum suddenly changed.

His hands stopped shaking, and he looked forward with sharp eyes. He had never experienced the cruelty of war, but his constitution was not really weak. When asked by his classmates, there were witnesses, who came to the top.

"Dear classmates! Your Majesty wears armor to fight one against a hundred. He kills golden men like pigs and dogs chopping vegetables, but you and I are too afraid to fight. Are you a man?

When all the kingdoms of the former Tang Dynasty came to court, Li Heshilang once sang, Why don't men bring Wu hooks and collect the fifty states in Guanshan? Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, like a scholar with ten thousand households?

Throughout the ages, which title is not based on military merit? Kill with me!"

"Kill!"

Although they had an absolute numerical advantage, most of the first batch of people who came into contact with the Jin Army were common people's martyrs, who were different from the infantry that the Jin Army killed along the way.

Even in a one-on-one situation, the Forbidden Army could hardly win against the Jin Army soldiers, let alone the common people. They relied solely on their numbers to fill the battlefield and perform the most primitive scuffle scenes with each other.

Because Chen Dong and his classmates were well-known Confucian scholars, when Zhao Ji made arrangements at the beginning, there were more imperial troops around them, which prevented them from suffering heavy casualties like ordinary people.

Coupled with the increasing number of official Forbidden troops who provided follow-up support, the battle formation became more and more lively, and the entire battlefield was a scene of mass fighting. It was not until half an hour later that the frontal infantry war was over.

The overwhelming number of soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty was more than 30,000, including 20,000 regular troops. They completely killed all Wanyan Zongwang's infantry troops and cut off their heads. No Jin people had time to retreat as planned.

After the Jin people moved south, the Song Dynasty launched a frontal offensive against the Jin army, using Zhao Ji as the spearhead and Wanyan Zongwang as the bait to be swallowed up. It won a suppressive victory for the first time.

The battle of the cavalry on both sides was directed by Zhong Shidao and Huang Lei. The cavalry battle was arranged by each general. Zhong Shidao led his guards and rushed towards Zhao Ji, killing the Jin infantry all the way.

Bullying the Jin people who had less cavalry, they rushed out of a road and rushed to the vicinity of Zhao Ji. Seeing that Zhao Ji, who was safe and sound and covered in blood, was surrounded by the Jin people and knelt down in a circle, they couldn't help but stand in awe.

"Your Majesty, the cavalry of the Jin army has been held back by the soldiers of Tianzongjian. The officials, under the escort of Prime Minister Li, brought the reserve battalion to the camp to rest and arrange their formation, and then came at full speed.

In just half an hour, all our troops will be able to arrive, resist the rear troops of the Jin camp, and rescue King Kang and King Su who are in the camp.

However, I believe that we should end the battle as soon as possible and return to defend Bianjing. The Jin people had the idea of ​​​​leaving the mountain in this cavalry battle, and they may be trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

The raid on the Supreme Being just now was also for the purpose of kidnapping the Supreme Being. The Jin camp should be empty now, and I suspect that Wanyan Bi and Wanyan Yanmu should be circling behind to prepare for a sneak attack on Bianjing."

"Qing Zhong, your guess is indeed correct, but you should still order people to prepare for the battlefield, then attack the Jin camp directly, and rescue King Kang and King Su.

I have received the news that the whole cavalry army of the Jin camp has been dispatched and has bypassed Zhengjiapo and reached the bank of Guangji River, preparing to sneak attack on Bianjing from Mazi Mountain and the north bank of Guangji River."

"What?

Your Majesty, then... we should go back to defend Bianjing! After passing Mazi Mountain, there are only 20,000 Xiang troops defending, and they can't resist the 60,000 Jin army's elite cavalry.

If the Jin conquered Bianjing, the imperial clan's ancestral temple, the people of Bianjing, the army and the people would all be captured by the Jin.

If we don’t…”

Zhong Shidao was horrified when he heard Zhao Ji's words. The most taboo thing in a war was losing the city, so he fell into passivity.

Zhao Ji reached out and patted Zhong Shidao on the shoulder, interrupted his words, looked south, and pointed to the piece with a smile on his lips.

"Qing Zhong, did you hear something?"

"Huh? It seems like there's thunder in the south? In the direction of Mazi Mountain?

Your Majesty, do you mean there is an arrangement? I remember that yesterday you asked the defenders of Mazi Mountain to retreat ten miles to the edge of the city for defense!

Could it be that Lord Dao appeared and struck down the Jin army with thunder?"

Master Zhong was in the noisy battle formation when he heard a faint rumble exploding in the distant sky.

Mazi Mountain was about forty miles away from the direction of their battle formation. Apart from thunder, he could not think of any sound that could travel so far.

But when Zhao Ji said this, he realized that Zhao Ji was saying that there was an ambush. It was not normal for Zhao Ji to withdraw the troops on the Mazishan defense line yesterday.

This made Master Zhongdao, who had never believed in those things, couldn't help but wonder, could there be a thunder formation formed by Zhao Ji there?

"That's right, I have already asked the magic soldiers to help me, so I informed my brothers to pack up our bones for subsequent burial, compensation and compensation.

Half an hour later, when the officials arrived, they were ready to attack the Jin camp. They also collected the heads of all the Jin people, um..."

Zhao Ji looked in the direction of the Jin Kingdom in the north and paused for a moment. Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao, the infantry generals, Guo Yaoshi who was tied up, and the Jin Army soldiers who were kneeling around and escaped, suddenly felt in their hearts.

My heart was shocked.

"Using the golden corpse as the base and the golden head as the cover, we built a temple on the edge of the golden camp on the Yellow River, cast a stone tablet, offered sacrifices to the souls of the Song Dynasty, and deterred the nine states!

Wait for tomorrow, bring all the officials of the clan, students and the people to watch. Everyone should personally defeat the enemy and watch.

I want all the foreign races in the world to know that the Song Dynasty cannot be bullied! I want everyone in the Song Dynasty to know that the people of the Song Dynasty cannot be bullied!"

"My lord! I accept the decree!"

Listening to Zhao Ji's words, Zhong Shidao was so excited that his voice distorted and he said, "Leijingguan, how many years has it been since there was no record in the Song Dynasty? It's been hundreds of years, right?"

Moreover, through Zhao Ji's behavior, it can also be predicted that the status of soldiers in the Song Dynasty will become much higher in the future.

In the rear army camp, Zhao Huan was riding a horse, but he felt his butt was sore. He had not been riding a horse for a long time, and his thighs could not bear the torture.

But the pain in his butt didn't stop him from looking ahead with the telescope in his hand, looking past the crowd and watching Zhao Ji rush into Jinying's mowing mode. He was holding the reins in his hand, and his teeth were itching with envy.

"Hiss! Pass the order! The Supreme Being has finished beheading Yan Zongwang, breaking through the enemy formation and capturing Medicine Master Guo alive! Everyone speeds up to meet the Supreme Being!"

"The officials have seen clearly! Your Majesty..."

The accompanying eunuch noticed Zhao Huan's embarrassment. After giving his instructions, the whole army suddenly burst into cheers and ran quickly to the line where the battle had ended.

"For officials, riding a horse will hinder your vision, and the flying horse hair will easily blind your eyes. If you and Li Tongtong ride in a chariot, you can command the army from a high position."

"Well, very good!"

Zhao Huan praised the eunuch in his heart, quickly dismounted obediently, and stopped Li Gang, who was sitting on the chariot, using a telescope to look ahead, holding on to the side of the chariot with exposed veins.

After being pulled into the chariot by the driver, Zhao Ji and Li Gang grabbed the handlebars together and felt much more relaxed.

"Guan family, Your Majesty is unparalleled. You should make plans in advance. If father and son become enemies, it will not be beautiful."

"I have thought about what Prime Minister Li said, but the Supreme Being is unwilling to welcome him back to the throne, so I have no choice.

However, the Supreme Being will still be able to manage government affairs. I have decided to study hard. I am still too far behind the Supreme Being."

Listening to Li Gangyi's pointed words, Zhao Huan nodded and said that he did not think that Li Gang wanted to support him in restricting Zhao Ji's rights.
