At this time, more than 200 miles away, Li Ganshun, the last emperor of Dabai Gaoguo, was so worried that he died of blood from his seven orifices because of his worries. However, he was still quiet at the front line of the Yellow River fork, without any tension in the war.

The Song and Jin armies are now roughly confronting each other with the Yellow River. The main force of the Song army, who came from afar, camped along the south and west banks of the Yellow River. They also surrounded two Jin army bridgeheads located on the west bank of the Yellow River (Bei River) and the south bank of the Yellow River (South River) on three sides with trenches, chest walls and small cannons (setting the tail cannons).

However, after setting up a hard camp, the Song army did not take any active actions. Apart from using cavalry to cover their retreat routes and the communication channels between various camps, they did not send troops to attack the Jin soldiers' camps. It seemed that they were not here to seize the rich river land at the foot of the Black Mountains, but to set up defenses on the banks of the Yellow River to defend the newly captured Xingzhou and Lingzhou.

However, in order to explore the reality of the Song army, the Jin army had just arrived, taking advantage of the Song army's camp to establish the camp, and dispatched more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry to cross the river through the floating bridge to line up the Song army camp that was under construction, hoping to force the Song army to come out for a battle.

But the Song army had no intention of joining the battle. They just launched hundreds of carts and pulled out a ring to protect the camp under construction.

The Jin soldiers tentatively attacked, but found that the Song army had deployed armored soldiers equipped with divine arm bows behind the chariot, and placed some small cannons that could be used to fire bombs. When the attacking Jin soldiers were still deploying a formation of tens of steps, they were bombarded by the bombs fired by the Song army with small cannons. If these small cannons were used to throw stones and mud bombs, they would not cause any casualties at all. However, it would be different if they replaced with a pound of bombs. As a result, if this thing exploded in infantry and cavalry, it would not only cause casualties, but also cause great chaos... As a result, the Jin soldiers had to transfer their positions before the first wave of attacks began.

After deploying the offensive starting position to the Song army's chariot formation with two or three hundred steps away, the Jin soldiers did not have to be afraid of the bomb fired by the Song army's guns, but the distance between them and the Song army's position was farther. This gave the Song army, who was on the defensive, more reaction time when facing the Jin soldiers' attack.

If the "casserole cannon" or even "long pot cannon" in the entire state appears on the battlefield, the distance between the two sides' starting positions will be further widened.

This is of course extremely unfavorable for the party without firepower! At that time, the soldiers of the Jin army will have to wear heavy armor, carry bows and arrows, and carry heavy long-handled weapons, and walk at least 1,000 steps before they can enter the battle. After the battle, they will have to go up the same distance before they can withdraw from their original starting position.

However, in this tentative attack launched by the Jin army, they did not encounter the bombardment of "hot pot cannons" and "casserole cannons"... This is Zhao Kai's trump card, so he must be kept to give the Jin people a big surprise!

However, the blowing pot and small cannons have seriously disrupted the rhythm of the Jin army's offensive.

Their iron-armored strong army and the Bohai heavy-armored soldiers not only had to go twice as far as they could enter the battle, but also had to be blown by a small blow pot that was smashed like raindrops before they fought with the soldiers of the Song army!

Although the Jin soldiers also had fried pots, their fried pots were big and heavy, and they were not strong men and could not be thrown far. Moreover, the number of fried pots equipped by the Jin soldiers was not at the same level as the Song army... The two Song dynasties in the north and south were all countries with million pots!

Moreover, the Dajin produced 100,000 pots per year, barely enough... Therefore, the fried pot is a relatively expensive weapon among the Jin army, and it must be saved and the soldiers who charge into battle cannot be thrown away.

Therefore, after Jin Wushu "victorious and returned" from Huainan, professional "pot artillery" appeared among the Jin army, which used the sling cannons to fire large bombs - similar to the troops in the Song army that used the sling cannons to fire small bombs, but the combat efficiency was simply incomparable.

The former has smaller cannons, easy to transport, and easier to assemble. Moreover, although the Song army's fried pots are small, they are very powerful and have more quantity!

The Jin army's "pot artillery" used large tip guns, which were inconvenient to transport and assemble. The quality of the fried pots they had was relatively poor, and almost half of them could not explode. Even if the fried pots were exploded, their power was sometimes large and sometimes small, and there was no accurate number...

Moreover, the pot-fried pot is actually a grenade, and it is not impossible to fire grenades with a tip gun, but it would be too pitiful to take the grenade away from the front-line infantry... Because the infantry soldiers who charge into battle cannot get fire support from the "pot-fried pot-fried pot-fried pot-fried" in time!

However, their opponents can hang the fried pot on their belts and throw it whenever they want... Only then can they throw it accurately and in time!

As a result, the Jin army's infringement formation was blown away by a blow-out pot without even touching the side of the Song army's chariot formation!

After the Jin army's infantry formation was bombed, the Song army's infantry soldiers immediately rushed out of the gap in the workshop and formed a group of hundreds of people to charge towards the scattered Jin soldiers and completely defeat them!

Although the counterattacks of the Song army's infantry under the deterrence of the Jin cavalry were very short, the power of the bombing pot still caused considerable casualties to the attacking Jin soldiers.

Found that his troops could not get any advantage in the battle to attack the Song army's chariot formation, Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Xiebao quickly called out to withdraw their troops. After withdrawing the troops, the tens of thousands of Jin soldiers stationed at the fork in the Yellow River, including Loushi and Xiebao, had been worried for several days... waiting for the Song army's fierce attack every day. But after waiting for seventeen or eighteen days, nothing happened.

After the Song army set up a hard camp, they turned to defense. At the fork in the Yellow River, two armies in defensive state appeared... The front line was quiet, and it was already a bit like sitting quietly.

However, even in a quiet battle, Wanyan Xiebao still did not dare to be negligent. Because from the failure of the attack on the Song army's chariot formation, he smelled an extremely dangerous aura!

Because he was worried that the Song army might use a large number of bombs to cover the infantry to launch a night attack - this is the best way for Wanyan Xiebao to think of for Zhao Kai, to break the front-line confrontation situation. So Wanyan Xiebao took the initiative to take on the task of staying at night ten days ago.

Every night, I stayed in the central army tent and didn't sleep... Oh, at most I just took a short snatch.

Now, it was the early morning of June 16th, and I was taking a nap in the central army's tent... Wanyan Xibao, who was snoring loudly, suddenly felt someone shaking himself. He was confused and said, "Sister-in-law, stop shaking... Let me sleep for a while! Just a moment!"

Then he heard a thick voice yelling: "Xiaobao, wake up quickly, I am not your sister-in-law..."

Xibao then woke up for a while, and then said: "Dad, just let my sister-in-law and I sleep for a while..."

Speaking of this, Wanyan Xiebao felt something was wrong. His father knew about this... but he didn't care at all!

Thinking of this, Xi Bao hurriedly squinted his eyes and saw that the old man in front of him was not his father, but Wanyan Loushi. He looked around and saw that it was empty, so how could he have a good sister-in-law who he had been with day and night?

"Recruitment, this..." Wanyan Xiebao wanted to explain. He and his sister-in-law were actually nothing... they just slept together sometimes! But that was to help his dead brother Shiya Ma give birth to a son! It was so pitiful that the brother had no son to inherit the incense. How could Xiebao not help his brother? But this way of helping is not in line with human nature! Wanyan Xiebao, who has read too much sage books, always feels a little bad.

"I don't care about you and your sister-in-law's affairs!" Wanyan Loushi didn't care about this little business!

How could he pay so much attention to the Jurchens in his life?

"Xiaobao," said Lou Shi, "Get up quickly...The Song army has sent troops!"

"What?" Wanyan Xiebao woke up in a flash. What sister-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, and little mother... were all cleared from his mind.

"The Song army is going to attack? Hurry up and beat the drums and gather the generals!" Wanyan Xiebao had already jumped up.

"No hurry," Wanyan Loushi was quite sure, "It's not about attacking, but... division of troops!"

"Divide the troops?" Wanyan Xiebao was stunned, "What's going on?"

Wanyan Loushi said: "I don't know what's going on, so I came to find you... Let's go up to the watchtower together."

As he spoke, Lou Shi pulled Xibao out of the Central Army tent together, and headed to a tall building standing behind the tent. At this time, the sky outside the Central Army tent began to brighten. Wanyan Xibao found that many Jurchen generals and military staff had gathered under the tower. However, the space on the platform was relatively narrow, so it was impossible for them to go up. He could only gather below and continue to discuss. Seeing Lou Shi and Xibao coming together, a general who was watching with Xibao immediately came forward and reported: "Recruiting and supervising, there was not much movement in the Nanzhai Village of the Song army. Now the camp is all the soldiers from Beizhai... There are eight square formations that have already been out of the camp, and there are still brigades of cavalry going out.

The eight square formations that had already opened the camp, one by one, drove north along the Yellow River North River, forming formations... It seemed that they were dividing their troops north to attack Wulahai City."

"Split the troops to attack Wulahai City?" Wanyan Xiebao still couldn't believe it, "What can I do? How many Song troops on the other side of the Yellow River are only? They are still considered large troops together, but if they are divided into two, the troops will be weak. Do you still want to attack Wulahai City? Isn't this dream?"

"What the supervisor said is, didn't the Song people become weak just by dividing their troops?" the general smiled. "This is a taboo in military strategists! It seems that the Song government is making trouble!"

Is it a stupid move? Wanyan Xiebao is a little unbelievable. Zhao Kai may have a stupid place elsewhere, but his ability to use military forces and fight is still very reliable. When did he use a big stupid move?
