On the official road on the south bank of Wuzhang River, the sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder, and three thousand iron cavalrymen just followed Han Shizhong, the commander-in-chief of the camp, and Chen Gui, the marching senator, and walked in front of the army heading east.

Behind them were countless military flags of various colors, and endless infantry and vehicles followed.

On their left, on the slowly flowing Wuzhang River, there were countless warships, which were lined up with two long columns, heading east with the infantry and cavalry on the shore.

The elite main force of the Kaifeng Song Army is now running along the water route, and the impregnable Kaifeng Prefecture is driving eastward along the Wuzhang River.

In order to send troops this time, Li Gang, the Privy Councilor who was in charge of Kaifeng's military affairs, was a slaughter in the camp and a left-behind Tokyo, was considered a heavy investment.

Now behind Han Shizhong and Chen Gui, in addition to the 13,000 elite infantry cavalry brought by Han Shizhong from Liangshanpo, there are also 67,000 elite soldiers selected by Li Gang from the 50,000 camp soldiers stationed in Kaifeng Prefecture and 100,000 Kaifeng Xiangjun (actually the people are strong and enjoy the treatment of Xiangjun).

In addition, all the warships of the "Liangshan Fleet" stationed in the "moat" east of Kaifeng Prefecture City were also driven along the Wuzhang River under the command of Song Jiang and Li Kui to cover the flanks of Han Shizhong's troops. Without these more than 100 warships, Han Shizhong would not dare to take 80,000 infantry and cavalry to fight a field battle with more than 200,000 Jin soldiers.

In addition to Liangshan's naval army, Han Shizhong also had another ace, which was the camp soldiers led by the marching senator Chen Gui!

The enemy is not the artillery... The side is different, and the equipment is of course different. Although this old rules are one of the inventors of tubular firearms that can be verified, the matter of casting artillery is still relatively complicated, and Zhao Kai can't take care of it for the time being. So he could only do something about the gun and "invented" the counterweight gun!

Of course, the counterweight flap that throws stones is not very powerful in field battles. After all, the accurate head of this thing is more urgent. Unless the opponent is stupid and does not move, it will not kill a few people.

However, Zhao Kai also found three powerful ammunitions in the inventory of the Kaifeng Prefecture Military Equipment Supervision, which allowed the counterweight flap to exert a certain power in field battles.

These three types of ammunition are clearly poisonous fireballs, thunder and fierce turbulence!

Among them, the poisonous fireball is a kind of incendiary bomb that can emit choking smoke. It has little lethality, but it has a good effect on disrupting the enemy formation.

The Zhentian Lei is a cast iron bomb filled with gunpowder - the power of this thing is a bit elusive. Sometimes it can cause a lot of noise, sometimes it cannot explode, and sometimes it can only barely blow the bomb shell in half... Zhao Kai knows what is the reason for the unstable performance of the Zhentian Lei? First, the casting process of the bomb shell is not up to standard, and it is cast too thick and it is not easy to break down; second, the formula of the gunpowder is unreasonable, the purity of the fire and sulfur is not enough, and it is not granulated; third, there is no tubular fuze.

However, Zhao Kai did not spend any effort to improve these problems... because he found another powerful firearm - fierce turbulent oil on the bill of the military weapon supervisor!

Fierce turbulent oil should be a light crude oil, and it is produced in Shaanxi. Under the supervision of Kaifeng Prefecture Military Equipment, there is a fierce turbulent oil that specializes in collecting and storing fierce oil.

After returning to Kaifeng Prefecture after the Battle of Caikou, Zhao Kai noticed the fierce turbulent oil when counting anti-Jin materials. So he ordered Zhong Shidao, who was leaving Shaanxi, to find a way to collect some and send them to Kaifeng Prefecture.

At this time, many turbulent oil were stored along the northwest to prevent Western thieves. So Zhong Shidao quickly collected tens of thousands of pounds of turbulent oil and sent people to Kaifeng Prefecture. With the inventory of military weapons and supervising the turbulent oil, Zhao Kai had enough "Zhao Rotov cocktail jars" to use, and of course he would not bother with granular gunpowder and artillery - these two things were difficult, but it would have to be done for one or two years to truly equip the troops and form combat power. In contrast, the turbulent oil jars were faster to get started!

Moreover, gunpowder and artillery technology may be leaked to the Jin thieves... The Jin thieves took over the handicrafts of the Khitans and could refine gunpowder and cast bronze ware.

As for the fierce turbulent oil, the golden thief has no place to dig it!

With three aces, including warships, long-range guns, and fierce ignition tanks, Han Shizhong, who led his troops to fight, was of course full of confidence - I had the advantage, and I would definitely win this battle!

On the south bank of Wuzhang River, near the river embankment, a high arrow tower stands at every distance. The civilians who were eating military food and paying were stationed on the arrow tower, and at this time they were all excited and looked at the Jin soldiers controlled area on the north bank of Wuzhang River. From time to time, they also loudly informed their discoveries to the cavalry guarding the arrow tower.

These cavalry would immediately run to Han Shizhong, Chen Gui, and constantly report the latest developments of the Jin army on the north bank of the Wuzhang River to them.

"The red and black flag of the golden thief has been hung on the Xianlie Temple of Chenqiao Town... It seems that the golden thief has broken Chenqiao Town!"

"Taiwei Han, Master Chen, and the Jin thief's crutch horse have arrived at the bank of Wuzhang River 10 miles away. There are also some big carts equipped with cannons that arrived with them!"

"Taiwei Han, Scholar Chen, and a brigade of golden thieves knights in white robes appeared on a dirt slope south of Chenqiao Town. They may be the leader of the golden thieves!"

Have a big boss? How big is it?

Han Shizhong and Chen Gui looked at each other, both strangled the war horses, then took out the thousand-mile mirror, and began to look north and search...

......

Wuzhang Hebei, Chenqiao Town, Wu Qimai is cultivating horses to a high slope, surrounded by Wanyan Olibu, Wanyan Puluhu, Wanyan Jamu, Wanyan Olu, Wanyan Talan, Wanyan Boji, Wanyan Alu and other "Great Wanyan", as well as Yelu Yuji, Yelu Mawu, Xiao Zhonggong, Liu Yanzong, Guo Yaoshi and other Khitan and Han lackeys. In a farther place, there are brigades of Jurchen Iron Futu cavalry and cavalry cavalry, and inside and out to protect the high-level officials of the Dajin of Wanyan Wu Qimai.

Wu Qimai didn't have a Qianli Mile Mile Mile, and he didn't know that someone was looking at him more than ten miles away, but he could still estimate the number of Song army.

"100,000..." Wu Qimai said to his side with a smile, "It's almost the number! We have more than 200,000 people, and the Song army only sent 100,000 troops. The advantage of this battle lies in me!"

Wu Qimai is well aware of military tactics. He knows that 230,000 and 40,000 are much greater than 100,000, so his advantage lies in his hands, and it is also very big!

Wanyan Puluhu, who was beside him, saw that his father was full of confidence, rashly interrupted: "Dad, let's just draw tens of thousands of elite troops to grab the front of the Song army, cross the Wuzhang River, and then attack the Song people's infantry and cavalry brigade and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Wu Qimai glanced at his son lightly and said with a smile: "You have to cross the Wuzhang River and defeat the Song army in one fell swoop... You can think of it! The Song people are moving along with water. There are two or three hundred warships on the Wuzhang River. These warships have bed crossbows and divine arm bows. How can our people withstand it?"

Wu Qimai looked relaxed, but gently rejected Wanyan Puluhu's suggestion of aggressive entry, which made the few big Wanyan below frown a little. Their military funds were not sufficient, and the food and grass brought by Daming Mansion had been exhausted. Fortunately, Wanyan Nianhan sent some people to send them over. When the army advanced eastward, they scared away the defenders of Chenqiao Town. They won a large town without fighting and grabbed some food and grass... But they still couldn't stand the consumption of more than 200,000 people and more than 100,000 horses!

Wanyan Wu Qimai asked Wanyan Wu Li with a smile: "Wu Li, what are you going to fight?"

Wanyan Wuli said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we have many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and we are sure to win. Of course, we should fight steadily... We can first set up a camp on the north bank of Wuzhang River, erect a cannon, force the Song army to retreat, and then send sharp troops to cross the Wuzhang River, build a floating bridge on the river, and finally cross the Wuzhang River to advance towards the Bian River. In short, we do not take the initiative to fight the Song army relying on Wuzhang River, but force them to attack us! Only in this way can the Song people's method of water and land advancement together!"

This Wanyan Wuli was obviously psychologically shattered by the Battle of Yuncheng and the Battle of Hecaikou. He did not dare to fight with the infantry and cavalry warships of the Song army at the same time. He must first separate the Song army's water and land armies before he can win.

Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded with a smile and said, "Although our army has a great advantage in this battle, we must be cautious and careful... The country is in full swing, and it will be a battle. If we can win, Kaifeng Prefecture is our own pocket. Even if the Song Dynasty officials are not captured by me, they can only escape to the southeast. A situation in the Southern and Northern Dynasties can be fought. If..."

If you can't win, it's going to be miserable!

But don’t say such despicable words. Wu Qimai thought to himself: How can such a big advantage be invincible? Although the Song people had warships, they were definitely not the opponent of hundreds of cannons... Once their warships retreated, the 100,000 infantry and cavalry were not the opponent of more than 200,000 Jintian soldiers!

......

At this moment, Han Shizhong was holding the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile, carefully looking at the high slope where Wu Qimai was, and remembering all the faces that could barely be seen through the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile, in his heart.

Seeing Wu Qimai and others riding down the high slope and heading towards Chenqiao Town, he put down the Qianli Mile Mile and said to Chen Gui beside him: "Sir Chen, let's fight with the Jin thieves in this area!"

Chen Gui had already put down the Qianli Miles Miles. He looked at Han Shizhong who seemed full of confidence and smiled and said, "Taiwei Han, how do you want to fight?"

Han Shizhong said: "You can attack halfway through... First, let some of the Jin thieves cross the river, then go along with water and land, and make them two, and finally eat the Jin thieves crossing the river. Although the Jin thieves have a lot of troops, if we eat 20,000 or 30,000, we will definitely lose our spirits. The next thing is to go north."

Chen Gui said: "You can also send someone to contact the official family and ask the official family to send troops to attack the rear of the Jin thieves, so that they can't take care of the head and tail!"
