Twenty miles east of Jiangxia City, the fields between the northern foot of Luojia Mountain and the shore of Donghu Lake were covered with the bodies of the Song soldiers in Huaixi and the broken military flag. The often defeated general Zhang Jun suffered another defeat without any surprise.

After his 30,000 elite troops in Huaixi crossed south from Huangzhou, he marched towards Jiangxia City as originally planned. When he arrived at Luojiashan, he encountered the Hanyang army, which had been waiting for him for a long time.

More than 10,000 Hanyang troops were arranged between the northern foot of Luojia Mountain and the south bank of East Lake, blocking the Huaixi Army's way out.

When Zhang Jun saw this situation, he not only did not think of taking a detour, but instead thought that this was an opportunity to annihilate the Han army. He immediately issued a military order, ordering the three armies to organize an attack. The striker was a heavy axe soldier wearing infantry armor and holding a two-foot-long axe. Behind them were two thousand god-arm crossbowmen. These four thousand people were the elite among the entire Huaixi Army.

The difference is that there are no spearmen to increase their short-range cover for them now. In order to protect these musketeers, Niu Gao gathered all spearmen and crossbowmen in the army.

However, the length of the spearmen of these spearmen is comparable to that of the opponent's heavy infantry's long axe, and the arrows of the archers cannot penetrate the heavy armor of the Song army's heavy infantry. At the same time, these spearmen and crossbowmen will be subject to continuous shooting by the opponent's divine arm crossbowmen and other crossbowmen. Therefore, their role is limited. If the heavy infantry really approaches, they cannot protect the musketeers.

Arrows from both sides continued to hit the large shields that were supported in front of the musketeers and the heavy armor of the Song army, with the sound of ding-dong dong endlessly. The musketeers were covered by large shields on the ground and were not damaged by the arrows, but many of the Han soldiers in Niu Gao's army behind were injured by arrows.

When the heavy armored soldiers were within the range of these musketeers' seventy steps, the musketeers fired their guns. Some heavy armored soldiers fell down in response, and many of the crossbowmen behind were injured by stray bullets, so they could no longer shoot without any scruples.

One thousand musketeers made three rounds of shooting in front and behind, and the last two rounds were aiming and shooting. During the last round of shooting, most of the infantry soldiers had reached less than two battles, and the axe in their hands had been swung.

At this time, the gunshots of the last round of shooting rang out one after another. These heavy-armored infantry were knocked into honeycombs by close-range muskets. There were only more than a hundred heavy-armored axe soldiers standing still on the battlefield. Only dozens of them were still rushing forward, and the rest were already running back and running back with clumsy steps.

The spearmen behind the musketeers found that their spears could not reach the other party, so they rushed to the front of the musketeers and poked the dozens of heavy-armored axe soldiers who were still moving forward. The latter was poked to the ground but was not injured much. It was not until a Han army soldier reminded him: "Take the face", and their face covered by the chain armor was tied into honeycombs by the spear blades that came one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the scene outside Lin'an City was staged again. Dozens of heavily armored infantry who collapsed and fled infected thousands of crossbowmen and swords and shields behind them. Seeing the infantry of the Han army rushing towards him, they also retreated one after another. When the gunshots sounded, this retreat suddenly turned into a defeat...

Zhang Jun gathered the defeated troops in the east of Jiangxia City and found that nearly 7,000 people were separated, and most of the casualties were heavy armored infantry and crossbowmen. The Huaixi Army had no supplies, and each soldier only brought enough dry food for ten days.

Therefore, although Zhang Jun still had the strength to fight, he knew that if he could not quickly conquer cities and land in Hubei and seize a large amount of food and supplies, he could not stay here for a long time. So he led the defeated generals of the remaining army to bypass Jiangxia and tried to flee south along the western foot of the Mufu Mountains. As long as he fled to Yuezhou and defected to Lian Nanfu and Han Jing, he could achieve the goal of strategic transfer.

Niu Gao was going to pursue him, but Yue Yun conveyed Yue Fei's words to him, and he gave up. Yue Yun left all the 1,000 muskets and remaining ammunition to Niu Gao, and selected dozens of people to stay as instructors. Then he took the remaining people down the water in the fast boat and hurried back to Huainan to meet with Yue Fei who had crossed the river.

...

In the early summer of the second year of the Yue Dynasty of the Han Empire, Yang Yizhong brought his three thousand Han troops across the Huai River and advanced to Shunchang Prefecture.

Han Chang, the garrison general of Shunchang Prefecture, had just received an order from Wanyan Wushu, ordering him to rectify his troops, repair his camp, and wait for the army of southern expedition to gather in Shunchang. It turned out that Wanyan Wushu had ordered the mobilization of 300,000 troops to gather in Xinyang, Shunchang and Huaiyang, preparing to divide the troops into three groups to invade the south again.

This Han Chang was a complete traitor, not because he served the Jin Kingdom. For ten years, many people were born in the Jin Kingdom in Liao, and then became officials and generals in Liao Kingdom or Jin Kingdom. Han Chang was one of them.

In this era when there was no national concept, there was nothing to blame. But Han Chang later did something to make his identity as a traitor. After the Jin Dynasty plundered the Central Plains, he began to order shaving his hair and changing clothes, and the person who was not as good as a Shi was killed. Han Chang was very concerned about this matter and had stricter requirements for the common people than his master, and used this as a reason to kill countless civilians under his rule.

As soon as Han Chang received the order, he immediately took action. He summoned the county magistrates of Shunchang Prefecture, ordered them to collect labor and food, build camps and prepare for the "King Army". He himself often went to the military camps to train the military, prepare for war, and prepare for a big trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

At this moment, another detective cavalry came to report that a Han army of thousands of people crossed the Huai River downstream of Shunchang, and went up the Huai River toward Shunchang. Han Chang was shocked and asked, "Whose flag was the visitor used to take? Zhang Xian, Yue Yun, or Niu Gao?"

"None of them are, they are led by Yang Yizhong." The Detective Cavalry News said.

After hearing this, Han Chang burst into laughter: "I tell you who it is? It turns out that it is this bearded eunuch." It turns out that Yang Yizhong has been working in Zhao Gou Suwei for a long time and is good at flattering, so he is known as a bearded eunuch. This reputation is known to everyone in the world.

Han Chang laughed and thought to himself, "Since you have a soft persimmon, I might as well eat him and steal the first prize." Thinking of this, his face became solemn and ordered: "Transfer our military orders to mobilize all the crooked horses and Tiefutu in Shunchang Mansion, as well as five thousand infantrymen. Follow me to annihilate this invading enemy."

In Shunchang Prefecture, there were five hundred iron pagodas left by Wanyan Wushu to Han Chang and a thousand guillotine horses. The iron pagodas, the guillotine horses, were all over the world and made great contributions to the Jin Dynasty. It was not until they met the Beiwei army of the Yue family army that they met the nemesis. But now the one who led the troops was Yang Yizhong, and there was no Beiwei soldiers in his three thousand Han troops.

In Han Chang's eyes, the Yue family army without Beiwei soldiers was nothing, let alone Yang Yizhong's troops. In his perception, he believed that the Han army was no different from the Southern Song army that had dealt with in previous years.
