Just as Qin Hui, Liu Ziyu and others followed Yue Fei to Pingding Military City, a large army was traveling between the peaks and valleys of the Taihang Mountains.

This is a large army of Jin people wearing the red and black sun flags!

A big army!

If you stand on the hillside by the mountain road and look down, it is a very spectacular army. The brigades of generals wearing Jurchen or Khitan style robes all walked on their horses, and only a few people who looked like high-ranking officials rode on their horses in a swaying manner. The marching teams were connected from beginning to end, for dozens of miles! They were so powerful, with tens of thousands of people. The front army had already stepped into the jurisdiction of the Pingding Army, and the latter army was still in Shouyang County, Taiyuan Prefecture.

Wanyan Zonghan, the left deputy marshal of the Great Jin Kingdom, was in this army. Zonghan was about 45 or 6 years old. Because of his years of military career, he looked a little old, with dark and red skin, gray hair and a burly figure, and was not inferior to any Jurchen warrior in his twenties or thirties in the army. He rode a tall Liaodong horse. Because he was afraid of heat, he had a bare head without a hat. He wore a white narrow-sleeved round-necked robe and a well-crafted gold belt tied around his thick waist. Except for a long sword hanging on the belt, he did not carry any weapons, and he was not wearing armor.

Judging from his appearance, he didn't look like he was marching on the battlefield at all, but like he was going out for a hike in the spring season.

Like him, the commander of the army who was relaxing like traveling around the mountains and rivers, the Jin soldiers who marched around Wanyan Zonghan were also relaxed in the sect. Most of them did not wear armor, but packed their armor and let the horses be carried by them. Obviously, they were not worried that the Song army would set up an ambush in the mountains and raid.

Of course, their ease makes sense, because they have never encountered any ambush or raids since they invaded the Hedong Road of the Song Dynasty last October. The only trouble is to attack the city, not all cities are difficult to fight. Only Taiyuan, the capital of Hedong Road of the Song Dynasty, is more difficult to chew. But this is not a problem. Can it be possible to cultivate land in the small Taiyuan city? As long as you siege and eat hungry, there will always be a break...

However, the development of the matter was beyond Wanyan Zonghan's expectations. His plan to siege Taiyuan Prefecture actually broke the game ten days ago! Because he received the gold medal arrow from the Marshal Wanyan Xieye, who was in charge of Yanjing. There were two absolutely surprising news sent with the gold medal!

The first news was that Guo Yaoshi, the 10,000 army led by Liu Yanzong was attacked by 50,000 elite soldiers under the command of Zhao Kai, the marshal of the Hebei Hebei of the Song Dynasty! Although Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong sacrificed their lives to fight, they were still defeated because they were outnumbered and lost more than 3,000 people. Liu Yanzong himself was even shot and killed by the Song people with the Eight-Number Crossbow when he led his team to break through... Guo Yaoshi took over the remaining troops and fled to Cangzhou under the East Road of Hebei of the Song State. In the Qianfu Village in northern Cangzhou, Xiangdu Marshal Wanyan Xie also reported the Wei County war report.

The second news is even more terrifying, the Eastern Route Army lost contact!

The number of soldiers was as high as 60,000 (including Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong's 10,000), and the total force was close to 100,000 (including Alixi's auxiliary soldiers). The Eastern Army led by the Second Prince Wanyan Zongwang actually lost the alliance. Since mid-February, no news about the Eastern Army has been sent back to Yanjing.

This made Marshal Wanyan Xie very anxious. The Eastern Army went deep into the ground alone and rushed straight to Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, Song State... They wouldn't have bumped into the legendary 800,000 imperial guards, right?

Because he was worried that Wanyan Zongwang would be killed by 800,000 imperial guards, Wanyan Xie immediately gave Wanyan Zonghan of the Western Route Army, asking him to immediately lead the main force of the Western Route Army to go east to Taihang, enter Hebei West Road, and then open up the traffic line from Yanshanfu Road to the Yellow River to meet the retreat of the Eastern Route Army.

Although I don’t believe that Wanyan Zongwang will be defeated by the 800,000 Song State Imperial Guards... But Wanyan Zonghan still believes that there are 800,000 imperial guards!

How could it be not?

The Song Dynasty had a population of hundreds of millions of mu of fertile land. Even if it had a million troops, it only accounted for one percent of the population and could definitely afford it.

So raising 800,000 imperial guards was really not a burden for the Song Dynasty... Anyway, Wanyan Zonghan felt that if he became an official in the Song Dynasty, he would have to raise 2 million imperial guards! Otherwise, if he was so rich in the Song Dynasty, how many people would care about it inside and outside, and if there were no 2 million imperial guards guarding from all directions, how could he sleep?

Because he believed that Wanyan Zongwang had collided with 800,000 imperial guards, Wanyan Zonghan did not dare to neglect... and hurriedly lifted the siege of Taiyuan Prefecture. After leaving a small number of troops to station in Xinzhou, Daizhou, Mengxian and Shouyang County in the eastern part of Taiyuan Prefecture, he personally led the main force of the Western Route Army to rescue Wanyan Zongwang.

Of course, Wanyan Zonghan could not tell his subordinates that the Jin East Route Army was likely to be surrounded by the 800,000 imperial guards of the Song people... According to the order he issued, the Western Route Army gave up the siege of Taiyuan and went eastward to cross Taihang Mountain to cooperate with the Eastern Route Army to siege Tokyo Bianliang in the Song Kingdom!

This is to swallow the Song Dynasty and take over the Central Plains!

Therefore, the Western Route Army has a very high morale, and everyone is competing for the first place!

However, looking at the overlapping mountains and the increasingly dim sky ahead, and watching his army slowly advancing in the winding valley, Wanyan Zonghan was always a little restless, "Wushi, how far is it from Pingding Military City?"

"The deputy marshal is still twenty miles away." A middle-aged man with a horse behind Wanyan Zonghan was a little thin, with a big forehead, a deep gaze, and three long wisps of beard immediately replied.

"Twenty miles..." Zong Han looked up at the sky. It was impossible for a large group of people to arrive today. Only the vanguard could approach Pingding Military City after nightfall. "Give Yelu Yuji the order to make him work harder and encircle Pingding Military City before dawn tomorrow!"

......

Because of Wanyan Zonghan's order, the situation on the Pingding Army took a sharp turn. Just in the early morning of the next day when Yue Fei brought people to protect Liu Ziyu, Qin Hui entered Pingding Army City, a large number of golden thieves suddenly rushed around Pingding Army City!

Before the sky was dawn, Yue Fei was already standing at the highest point of Pingding Military City, looking down at the enemy who suddenly appeared and surrounded the city.

The names on the flags of the general who stood up two or three miles away were written in the Jurchen characters created by the birth. Yue Fei did not recognize such characters that looked a bit like the Khitan characters, and no one in the army could recognize them. If someone in the Pingding Army knew the Jurchen characters, he would know that the person who brought troops to pacify the army this time was Yelu Yujian, the right chief supervisor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Although I don’t know the words on Yelu Yukyu’s flag, among the two thousand generals in Pingding Army City, many people know the black and red flags of the Jin soldiers. The flags are made of black and red, and there is a golden sun on them.

In Taiyuan Prefecture next to the Pingding Army, there were already many villages above the sky, and this flag symbolizing the Great Jin Kingdom was raised.

The Song army here of the Pingding Army thought that the Jin thieves would slowly conquer most of the cities in Taiyuan, Xinzhou, Daizhou, etc., and then choose to advance east or go south.

But unexpectedly, the Jin thieves who were attacking cities and villages around Taiyuan suddenly divided thousands of elite troops into the Pingding Army, and caught the Song army off guard. In fact, it was not unexpected. Taiwei Ji of the Pingding Army realized something was wrong a few days ago. Therefore, the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command were on guard. The more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the Pingding Army horse farm also moved to Niangzi Pass early in the morning and sent many hard detectives to ambush in the nearby mountainous areas.

However, his preparations were almost useless in front of the Golden Thieves with absolute advantage. Pingding Military City was surrounded by at least 5,000 Golden Thieves on March 11, 2018, on March 11, Xuanhe.

Qin Hui, Liu Ziyu and Yue Fei were all trapped in Pingding Military City.
