About 120 miles from Fuli County to Xuzhou, 20,000 cavalrymen only need to run on the official road for one night and can reach it at dawn. This area belongs to the flat Huanghuai Plain, which is very conducive to cavalry fighting. On both sides of the official road are endless wheat fields, and the wheat is about to mature. When the breeze blows, waves of wheat roll.

At the fourth update, 20,000 cavalry finally entered the boundary of Xuzhou, and the hills began to increase. A long mountain in the distance was Jiuli Mountain in Xuzhou. Not only did the hills increase, but the woods also increased.

At this time, 20,000 cavalry had already galloped into a low valley. The valley was about three miles long, with a hill on both sides. The official road passed through the valley. Because the hills on both sides were very low and large pine forests rose step by step like waves, this terrain was also called a hill valley, which was relatively gentle, but was most likely to hide murderous intent.

It is less than thirty miles away from Pengcheng County, Xuzhou Prefecture. Xiemao Ali was anxious and repeatedly ordered to accelerate. Twenty thousand cavalrymen rushed into the valley like lightning, and the Jurchen cavalry rushed in front.

Just as the cavalry in front had not yet run out of the valley, the sound of chubs suddenly sounded in the woods, and thousands of arrows were fired at the cavalry in the valley like a storm.

The cavalry suddenly burst into pieces, screaming endlessly. Xie Mao Ali's war horse was hit by four arrows in a row and fell to the ground. Xie Mao Ali suddenly smelled the strong smell of ignition oil and shouted anxiously: "Leave the official road, leave quickly!"

But the arrows had just begun to fear. As hundreds of rockets shot into the official road, the turbulent oil buried under the official road began to burn. Then a series of earth-shaking explosions sounded on the official road. One hundred thunders blew up and down the official road, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, war horses neighing, soldiers were blown to the sky, and thick smoke enveloped the entire canyon.

Except for more than 300 Jin soldiers who were congested in the canyon, the remaining 5,600 were either killed by arrows or in explosions and fire, with heavy casualties. The main general Xiemao Ali was blown to death in the valley.

Ten thousand crossbowmen ambushed on both sides were deeply buried on the ground. After the explosion was over, they immediately evacuated. The woods were ignited by the splashing sparks and began to burn.

The more than 14,000 cavalry behind were frightened by the horses. They turned around, but a heavy armored infantry of five thousand people crossed the official road and blocked the retreat of the Jin cavalry. A Jin general shouted: "Impact!"

A thousand cavalry suddenly accelerated, trying to break away from the heavy armored infantry, but what greeted them was the large sword of the horse that was so dense that it was not windy and rain. The cavalry could not stop and hit them one after another. The war horses and soldiers all screamed shrillly, and the more than 300 people in front were instantly pierced and died tragically on the spot.

The heavily armored infantry advanced forward like a copper wall. Wherever they passed, the cavalry corpses were everywhere, and they were so sharp that they could not stand it. They killed the Jin soldiers and retreated step by step.

At this time, the divine arm crossbow arrows of the Song army behind shot up like a storm. The soldiers fell to the ground one after another. There were heavy armored infantry like iron walls in front, and the death arrows of the King of Hell behind. The official road could no longer go. The Jin soldiers were helpless and had to turn their horses and run towards the wheat fields on both sides.

Generally speaking, the Jin soldiers would try to avoid fighting in the wheat field. The sharp wheat straw would pierce the horseshoe, and the wheat field was waist-deep, and there were too many hidden dangers in it. There was a lot of resistance, so the war horses could not gallop. Wang Gui deployed 20,000 spearmen inside the wheat field. They were ambushed in the wheat field, and they were elusive. When the Jin soldiers were not careful, a sharp spear would suddenly pierce out and pierce the horse's cavalry.

Or a shot pierces the belly of the war horse, causing the war horse to fall down in the sarcasm. The cavalry on the horse fell down, but could never get up again.

The Jin soldiers mainly fled from the east, and it was difficult to walk to the west. Only more than 3,000 people chose the west, while more than 10,000 cavalry fled desperately in the wheat fields that were more than ten miles long in the east. In the darkness, the cavalry could not see the soldiers hidden in the wheat fields.

They kept screaming and fell down, and more and more cavalry were killed. When the cavalry ran for more than ten miles, they finally walked out of the wheat field. There were only less than 5,000 people left, and more than half of the casualties were killed or injured.

At this time, all the Jin cavalry were stunned. On the opposite side and on both sides, 30,000 cavalry formed three cavalry formations, surrounding them in a font shape.

Li Yanqing coldly ordered: "Kill!"

"Woo" the horn sounded, and 30,000 cavalrymen galloped, with murderous auras, rushed towards the five thousand cavalry from three directions. There was only one ending waiting for the Jin soldiers: the entire army was wiped out.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the wheat fields and valleys called Dalongpu finally revealed their true colors. The five-mile-long official road was covered with corpses of Jin soldiers, and piles of unrecognizable corpses. The hills to the west of the valley were also burned half by the fire, and the entire hillside was pitch black and terrible.

At this time, Wang Gui ran forward and reported to Li Yanqing with his fists, "Qi Du Shuai, the counting has been completed. About 18,000 enemy troops were killed, and there were no enemy prisoners of war. Nine,300 war horses were seized, and about 1,000 enemy troops escaped, mainly from the north and west."

"How many casualties do we suffer?"

"There were 740 casualties in total, mainly cavalry."

Li Yanqing nodded. This should be the last casualties in the war. There were quite a few casualties, but they were also within the normal range.

Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "Dispose the body and the army headed towards Pengcheng County!"

......

At this time, there were only more than 2,000 defenders in Pengcheng County. In addition to the original 1,000 Han soldiers, there were also 1,200 Jin soldiers who fled back. Poor Li Zhao, the chief general in the city, was killed by the Jin soldiers with one knife after opening the door. He was also a fool when he died. I wonder why he was killed?

The commander of the thousand-man was called Jianda. He was anxious. As soon as the sky was dawn, he asked to send a message to Yanshan Prefecture and ask Wanyan Xie for help. This was also because the news of the Jin soldiers was relatively closed. Wanyan Zonggan led his army to cross the Yellow River to Yunzhou. The Jin soldiers in Xuzhou were not aware of it. Otherwise, the thousand-dollar soldiers would definitely go directly to Yunzhou and would not stay in Xuzhou and wait for death.

At noon, 100,000 Song troops arrived at the city of Xuzhou. Li Yanqing looked at the city from afar. Seeing that the troops on the city were sparse, he sneered and turned to Wang Gui and said, "Clog the three gates and let the north gate go!"

"Abide by the order!"

Wang Gui immediately ran to arrange the army, and Li Yanqing said to Cao Meng again: "You can lead 10,000 cavalry to intercept five miles north of Xuzhou City. When the Jin soldiers escape from the northern city, no one is allowed to be let go!"

Cao Meng bowed, "Abide by the orders with humble duties!"

Cao Meng led 10,000 cavalry to detour north. Soon, Wang Gui sent someone to report, "The three-sided city gates have already stationed!"

Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "Send the throwing soldiers to go up and blow me up the southern city gate!"

After a moment, three hundred soldiers formed a shield wall with shields and guarded two throwing soldiers slowly towards the city gate. The south gate was made of thick wood and was wrapped with iron rings in the middle. Except for strategic cities like Bianliang and Daming Mansion, which were made of pig iron, the rest of the city gates in various places had this structure.

In addition, there is a suspension bridge in front of the south city gate. The head of the suspension bridge is about two meters away from the ground. Although the suspension bridge can effectively resist the enemy's attack on the city gate, it can create another convenience for the thunder, which is the potential energy rolling down from a high place. This is the advantage and disadvantage.

After a moment, three hundred soldiers guarded the throwing soldiers and came to the suspension bridge. They had entered the range of 100-step shooting. Hundreds of soldiers on the top of the city immediately shot like rain. The dense arrows shot at the three hundred soldiers, but the arrows were meaningless, and the solid shield wall blocked the arrows.

Two soldiers were holding a big winter melon-like thunder, the other soldier lit the fuse, and the two soldiers shouted, "One, two, three!"

The two of them exerted force at the same time, and the thunder was gently thrown three feet high. With a "Boom!", it landed heavily on the suspension bridge and rolled towards the city gate. Three hundred soldiers immediately retreated. They held their shields and ran a hundred steps away. At this time, they quickly lay on the ground, covered their shields on their heads and bodies, and covered their ears tightly.

The thunder of the sky rolled to the city gate, and gently hit the door and stopped. In just a moment, there was a shocking explosion. The earth was shaking, the city was shaking, wood chips splashed, and thick smoke filled the city gate.

After a long time, the smoke disappeared, and the south city gate had already become a mess. The suspension bridge was blown up, and half of the suspension bridge floated on the moat. Most of the city gate was blown up, leaving only a little edge hanging on the city gate. The bricks on both sides were also blown up, but they did not collapse, barely supporting the city walls and the city towers.

However, the soldiers on the top of the city disappeared, either being shaken to death or being stunned. If you don't block your ears so close, the explosion can make you deaf in both ears.

The city gate opened wide, and Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "Cabinets enter the city and protect the warehouse!"

Immediately, five thousand cavalrymen rushed towards the city gate under Gao Chong's leadership. The three hundred soldiers had already built five wooden boards on the moat to form a simple bridge and rushed into the city first. Five thousand cavalrymen rushed over the wooden bridge and rushed into the city gate. They rushed directly to the warehouse near the South City and protected the warehouse.

This is also the reason why Li Yanqing sent an offensive in Nancheng. He must protect the warehouse located in the south of the city as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the Jin soldiers would throw a spark directly on the haystack, and he would really cry without tears.

In fact, Li Yanqing also made a little more stable in the war layout of attacking Xuzhou. He could take Xuzhou in advance, and perhaps another army was ambushed several miles south of Xuzhou to intercept the fleeing Jin soldiers.

But Li Yanqing gave up this plan, and doing so would be very risky. It was too close to the city and could easily be discovered by the enemy patrols. Once they notified the Jin soldiers heading north, all their efforts would be wasted. Therefore, in order to ensure the success of the enemy annihilation plan, Li Yanqing chose the latter in terms of the city and the complete annihilation of the Jin soldiers.

However, Li Yanqing did not surround the north gate, so that he would not let the Jin soldiers go to despair, and both jade and stone were burned, leaving them a glimmer of hope, and also to protect the granary.
