In order to ambush the 30,000 Jurchen cavalry of Wanyan Helisa, Chen Qing also dispatched 60,000 troops and deployed them on both sides of the Jingshui River. First, they attacked halfway across the Jingshui River and used the Jingshui River to divide the Jurchen cavalry into two sections. Chen Qing personally led the four An army of ten thousand surrounded and annihilated the enemy troops on the west bank, while Yang Zaixing led 20,000 cavalry to ambush the Jurchen cavalry on the east bank.
On both sides of the official road, Chen Qing deployed a thousand bed crossbows. Behind the bed crossbows were 10,000 strong crossbow troops. He also deployed 20,000 ambush troops in the woods a mile away. The dragnet had been laid out, waiting for the enemy to take the bait.
At this time, there was a muffled thunder in the distance, and 15,000 Jurchen cavalry gradually approached. They formed a three-mile long queue on the official road.
One mile away from the crossbow formation, a sudden fire broke out in the middle of the Jurchen cavalry team, and a blazing fire was ignited on the official road. Then, hundreds of gunpowder barrels buried in the ground exploded one after another, causing the Jurchen cavalry to flip over, especially The dense poisonous nails were scattered in all directions, causing heavy casualties.

Saligan, who was running in front, realized that he was ambushed by the Song army. He waved his mace and shouted: "Come with me!"
Saligan ignored the situation behind him and led 10,000 cavalrymen to run quickly. However, after running less than a few hundred steps, there was a bang in front of him, and five thousand jackdaw arrows were fired at the same time. Saligan, who was running at the front, was Dozens of jackdaw iron arrows pierced his body, killing him instantly. He and his horse fell to the dirt.
More than 1,300 Jurchen cavalry were shot and killed, and their bodies were piled up on both sides of the official road. The cavalry behind them could not stop at high speed. They left the official road and spread out to both sides, trying to break through at more points, but the Jurchen cavalry's horses failed. Falling down one after another, the soldiers of the Song Army dug tens of thousands of small pits on both sides of the official road. It didn't matter if a man fell into the ground, but if the horse fell into the ground, it would mean a broken leg bone.
At the same time, 10,000 Song Army crossbowmen began to fire. They were divided into three sections and fired one after another. Even if many Jurchen cavalry escaped from the trap, they could not escape the Song Army's powerful crossbow blockade. In the darkness, pieces of enemy cavalry were blocked. Shoot.
A thousand crossbows launched the second and third rounds of firing, and the jackdaw arrows swept across three times. There was no more standing cavalry within 500 steps.
At this time, the back path was also cut off by eight thousand crossbowmen. There was an interception in front and no way to retreat. Thousands of Jurchen cavalry fled towards the woods to the north. This seemed to be their last chance.
The 20,000 Song troops ambushing in the woods, holding powerful crossbows and spears, have been waiting for a long time.
At this time, Wanyan Helisa's army was also ambushed by the Song army. The official road passed through a low slope that was several miles long. It was actually a fault. The top of the fault was two feet high, and the official road was on the fault. Underneath, the area near the fault was covered with weeds.
Jin Bing never imagined that more than a thousand gunpowder barrels would be thrown from the top of the fault and explode in the miles-long procession. Poison nails would fly. Although there were not many dead, there were many injured, especially the gunpowder barrels thrown by the gunpowder barrels. Below, flames burned on the official road, causing extreme panic among the Jurchen cavalry and war horses. There was a thunderous roar and hundreds of giant trees rolled down from the cliff and rushed towards the official road. Hundreds of Jurchen cavalry were smashed. His brain was torn apart and crushed by a giant tree.
The giant tree cut the Jurchen cavalry in two, and the cavalry behind them fled from the official road and ran towards the wasteland to the south. However, a large number of cavalry were overturned and their horses refused to move forward.
Wanyan drank and Li Sa's eyes turned red, and he shouted anxiously: "What's going on?"
"Marshal, the ground is covered with thorns and thorns, and the horses cannot walk!"
Arrows rained down from the top of the fault, and thick arrows fell from the sky one after another. The density was so dense that it was breathless. Countless Jurchen soldiers were hit by arrows, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
"Let's go!"
Wanyan drank from Lisa and no longer cared about the Jurchen soldiers behind him. He led the three thousand cavalrymen and rushed eastward, leaving behind the Jurchen cavalrymen who were crying loudly and were gradually swallowed up by the arrows.
When daybreak was about to break, Wanyan rushed out for more than fifty miles in one breath. He was exhausted and could no longer run. He was followed only by dozens of soldiers. One of the soldiers came up to report: "Report to Marshal Qi,
Many cavalrymen are suffering from poisonous effects, and their horses and men have fallen to the ground. I am afraid they will not be able to keep up!"
"Wait a minute!"
After waiting for another hour, Jurchen cavalry arrived one after another, many of them riding two horses on a horse, and finally more than 1,300 cavalry arrived.
Wanyan Helisa estimated that the Song army would definitely pursue him, so he did not dare to stay any longer and fled eastward in panic with more than 1,300 people.
Yang Zaixing was indeed chasing after him to prevent the Jurchen remnants from looting the counties along the way. They kept seeing lone Jurchen soldiers being killed, all of them bloody and bloody. At first glance, they looked like they had been beaten to death with sticks. These Jurchen soldiers should have been killed by local farmers.
Killed.
Yang Zaixing's army pursued them all the way. Wanyan and Lisa's army were so frightened that they did not dare to stay. They escaped from Guanzhong in one breath, passed Pujin Pass and headed for Hedong Road.
On the fourth day after the Song army almost completely wiped out the Jurchen cavalry, the 20,000 puppet Qi troops on the Jingyuan Road came out of Jingchuan City after receiving the news and surrendered to Niugao's army. So far, all the Shaanxi Road except Hanzhong were destroyed by Chen Qing.
The momentum recovered.
Chen Qing immediately sent Gao Ding as the chief general and Liu Qiong as the deputy general, leading an army of 20,000 from Ziwu Valley southward to Hanzhong to regain the lost territory in Hanzhong.
That morning, Chen Qing arrived at Pujin Pass under the escort of three thousand cavalry. Pujin Pass was actually named after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Its current name is Daqing Pass, but the people were used to it and still called it Pujin Pass.
The current Song army commander at Pujing Pass is called Guan Tao. He is a general commander. He was originally the defender of Nanxianren Pass. After the Jin soldiers captured Hanzhong, he led more than a thousand soldiers to retreat north from Qinzhou and joined Xihe.
military.
Guan Tao had rich experience in guarding the pass. He was appointed by Chen Qing as the garrison envoy and led two thousand soldiers to garrison Pujing Pass.
When he heard that the Dutong had arrived, Guan Tao came down the mountain to welcome him, bowed and saluted, "I'm humble enough to see you, Dutong!"
Chen Qing smiled and nodded, "General Guan, no courtesy!"
Chen Qing looked up and asked, "Do you still want to climb the mountain?"
"Reporting to the capital, Pujin Pass is backed by a low mountain. However, the official road is relatively gentle. You can pass by on horseback, and there is no problem with large trucks carrying goods."
"Then ride over and have a look."
There are two days of roads over the mountain to Pujin Pass. One road goes directly over it and is suitable for people on foot, while the other requires a circuit around the mountainside and is suitable for large vehicles and livestock.
Chen Qing rode a horse around the mountainside and came to Pujin Pass. Pujin Pass was actually built on a peninsula that extended into the Yellow River. A dock was built on the peninsula, and you could take a ferry to Hezhongfu on the other side.
For a long time, Pujin Pass even built an iron cable bridge to connect to the other side of the Yellow River. The army and the people could directly walk to the other side of the Yellow River through the iron cable bridge. However, the iron cable bridge has been destroyed in the war. Now you can only take a ferry to the other side.
Chen Qing stood on a high place and looked towards the other side, and asked: "Do you know how many troops are stationed in Hezhong Prefecture?"
Guan Tao bowed and said: "I heard from a businessman that there are about 3,000 garrison troops in Hedong City and 2,000 militia troops. In fact, there are 5,000 people."
Liu Cui, who was accompanying Chen Qing next to him, smiled and said: "I always feel that we have it at our fingertips. Dutong, do you want us to seize the Hezhong Mansion directly?"
Chen Qing shook his head, "Go step by step. If you eat too fast, you won't be able to digest it. Let's swallow Shaanxi Road completely first, and then consider the next step."
Chen Qing then spoke to Guan again: "Don't block the normal exchanges of people and the crossing of caravans, but you must prevent enemy troops from pretending to be caravans to seize the border. More importantly, you must strictly enforce the system and strictly prohibit soldiers from accepting benefits. You should do this more than
I have experience."
"Beizhi understands, Beizhi is ready to adopt the diversion method used in the Immortal Pass!"
"Tell me more about it!" Chen Qing asked with interest.
"It's just a separate passage with high walls on both sides. Merchants and people can only enter and exit the pass. Even if they want to seize the pass, it's impossible. Then add a surveillance and search point on the dock, and it's basically foolproof."
“This is a good idea!”
Chen Qing happily praised: "It's a bit like a barbican city."
"Yes! Wu Dutong also said that it is the idea of Wengcheng."
"It can be implemented. Make a specific plan and submit it to the Jinglue Mansion. The Jinglue Mansion will arrange manpower and material resources to build it!"
