As the city wall collapsed, the mortar cannons in front of the formation began to fire to cover the assault troops to attack the city. Although Qigou Pass was a majestic pass, it was only a mile in radius, with tens of thousands of people squatting inside the pass, and the troops were concentrated, but they were also crowded. Each flowering bullet dropped would cause a lot of casualties. The power of the siege cannon just now had already made the Jin army frightened, and the breaking of the city meant that it lost its last support and also marked the fall of a city. Their mood was imaginable at this moment.

Seeing the Zhongshan Luzhou Army rushing into the gap, Zhao Yong urgently ordered the artillery to stop the shelling, "The first brigade of the Tiger Generals and the Second brigades rushed into the city, and the other brigades formed the Yanyue Formation to prepare to chase the enemy out of the city. The Dragon General and the Tiger Wing Army followed up to clean up the battlefield!"

"kill…"

"kill…"

The trapped beasts were still fighting. Seeing that the Song army had already rushed in, the Jin army also knew what the fall of the city meant. They roared and tried to block the gap to drive the Song army out of the city. The two armies quickly collided, and a fierce battle was staged on the gap that was only a wide gap. The sound of swords and guns, the shouts of soldiers, and the screams of the seriously injured were mixed together, blood splashed, and bones were broken, like hell on earth.

"Yue Yun, go up the city wall and drive the Jin army down!" Yue Fei's long sword in his hand flew down a Jin general and scanned the battlefield. The Jin army had already climbed up the city wall and rushed into the gap. The narrow gap was filled with the bodies of soldiers on both sides. Seeing that the Song army that had just broken in was going to be attacked from three sides, he shouted.

"Yes, you follow me!" As soon as Yue Fei finished speaking, a young man holding an iron bone in one hand and a shield in the other agreed to lead the dozen soldiers following him to climb up the city wall along the broken wall.

Yue Yun put the shield on his head to cover the flowing arrows, and took the lead in climbing the city wall with swords and guns. The shield with his left hand separated a long sword cut by the Jin army's head, and the iron bones in his right hand had already smashed to the face. Seeing that it was not good, the Jin army soldiers turned their heads and dodged. But the iron cone was too fast. They dodged their heads and sold their shoulders to Yue Yun. Although he was wearing iron armor, he still could not bear the blow. With a "bang" sound, the lower half of his body was smashed down by the heavy iron bones. He killed the Jin army blocking the road. Yue Yun looked back and saw that no one of the soldiers behind him followed, but he was not timid. He shook off the shield in his hand and took the other iron bones tied behind him and went up.

The Jin army rushed up and felt a little frightened when they saw it. The child in front of him was only fourteen or five years old, but he used a pair of short-handled iron bones. This was an ordinary weapon. He broke through armor through heavy blows. However, the bones in the child's hand were several times larger and emitted a faint light. It must have been made of cooked iron. It was estimated that each handle was forty or fifty kilograms. If it hit the body, it would be damaged even if it was not dead!

Yue Yun didn't care what the Jin soldiers thought. They rushed up and hugged their heads. They really encountered death and were injured. They fought with one person to attack the Jin army, but they could not move forward for a while. In this space, more Song troops also went to the city and started a melee, but they also stabilized the situation. The Song army finally rushed into Qigou Pass.

At the same time, the engineers of the tiger general stepped forward again to carry out blasting, exploded the blockage in the door hole, cleared out the passage, and a large number of Song troops rushed into the city. They used spears to disperse the enemy troops near the city gate, established a foothold to spread to the two wings. Then the Song troops entering the city lined up with guns to shoot forward, knocking down the Jin army trying to recapture the city gate in batches, and controlling the city gate. The ready-to-run dragon cavalry finally rode their horses into the city, chopped the Jin army along the street, and advanced forward...

………

After capturing Qigou Pass, Zhao Yong urged his troops to cover up and then concealed the defeated Jin army. The next morning, he met Wanyan Zongfu's reinforcements 30 miles away from Zhuozhou. At this time, 50,000 Song troops gathered near Zhuozhou. When he learned that the Jin army was approaching, the main force of the Song army immediately stepped forward to fight, intending to break through the obstacle while the Jin army had not yet gained a foothold.

The Jin army also reacted very quickly. When they saw the Song army taking down Qigou Pass, they quickly concentrated their troops in Fanyang City, established a defense line from east to west in front of the city, and controlled the main road leading to Yanjing City. Zongfu was also eager to break the crisis this time, and wanted to take advantage of the Song army's long journey. He had just experienced a fierce battle and wanted to get a bargain, so he led his troops forward to try to defeat the Song army in front of him, and turned around to fight the Song army in the south.

The Jin army that participated in the war concentrated a total of five 10,000 teams. The right wing of the front line started from the Liuli River, the left wing to the Zhuoshui River, and there were swamps in front of both wings. The center of the front line was located in Jixian Town outside Fanyang City. They adopted the classic formation method, with infantry arranged in two lines in the middle, and the cavalry on both sides also arranged in two lines to protect the flanks. At the same time, the Jin army laid vanguards in the river in front of the right wing to harass the Song army.

Because the Jin army suffered from the loss of the army led by Zhao Qiong's detour, the entire front line was extended to more than ten miles to prevent the Song army from adopting the usual tactic of middle breakthrough and two wings to reduce the entire formation being interspersed by the Song army and surrounded by roundaboutly. However, this formation also has its disadvantages, which is that it is not conducive to establishing a defensive depth and increasing the difficulty of coordinated command. The old Taoist Wanyan Zongfu also thought of this. Based on his past experience, he specially sent the defeated Yinzhi to reorganize the defeated army into four thousand-person teams as reserve teams to deal with emergencies.

While Zhao Yong sent troops to harass the Jin army, he also began to mobilize the army to set up formations. At the time of Yin, the entire Song army rushed to the battlefield. Their actions were quite hidden and remained silent. Soon, under the cover of morning mist, they entered the battlefield. In order to deal with the Jin army, Zhao Yong concentrated all the troops he could mobilize, including two generals, Long General and Tiger Wing Army, the Zhongshan Luzhou Army and three artillery teams, more than 60 artillery pieces. Now the two armies have equal strength, but if they want to win in one battle and capture Zhuozhou, they will have to win this time.

Although the Jin army was ready, Zhao Yong still caught the fighter jet. He found that there was a ground beam about two meters high on the right front wing of the Jin army, which not only blocked the Jin army's view, but also facilitated the Song army's deployment, and could block the Song army's actions to catch the enemy. He immediately made a decision and decided to seize the high ground first to gain a battlefield advantage. On the high ground, there was a team of thousands of people in the Jin army defending. The Song army sent a battalion of dragon cavalry to raid the high ground unexpectedly, not only defeating the Jin army in one fell swoop, but also capturing hundreds of Jin soldiers.

After the morning fog subsided, Zhao Yong rode his horse to the high ground. The Jin army's deployment was clearly visible under the telescope. After careful observation, the result was not very optimistic. The right wing of the Jin army was complex and difficult to break through. Although the left wing had the opportunity to be detoured, there were swamps there and thawed, the ice-cracked puddles and exposed reeds would hinder the action. However, through the banner and costumes, Zhao Yong saw that most of the people deployed on the left wing of the Jin army were cavalry composed of Khitans and Bohai people. There would inevitably be some problems in the command and coordination of their respective units, and there would still be opportunities to take advantage of it.

So Zhao Yong decided to use the oblique attack tactic and put the main attack direction on the left wing of the Jin army. In order to confuse the enemy, Zhao Yong ordered the dragon general to send vanguard cavalry to attack forward, creating the illusion that the Song army mainly attacked the right wing of the Jin army. This plan worked quickly, and the commander of the right wing of the Jin army believed it and hurriedly asked for help from the silver technique leading the reserve team.

Because his sight was blocked by the high ground, even Silver Technique, who had been experienced and had just suffered a defeat, was also hit and hurriedly transferred the reserve team to the right wing. Then, Zong Fu also transferred a cavalry from the left wing to the right wing. These mobilizations had an irreversible impact on the defense system of the Jin army and laid the root of disaster...

Since the Jin army never discovered the actions of the Song army, Zhao Yong was able to deploy calmly. He ordered the Long General's twelve commanders of the three cavalry brigades to use the cover of the high ground to detour to the left wing of the Jin army with four columns as the main attack and break through the enemy formation. The two infantry brigades arranged in the rear army were moved forward, in the center of the attack formation. There were ten rapid-fire cannons on the left as cover. The twenty command infantry under the Zhongshan Luzhou Army lined up in a follow-up echelon to clean up the remaining enemies. The entire Song army lined up in a typical oblique formation from right to left.

After the battle started, the generals of the Song army attacked from right to left based on command. The time difference between each command was fifty steps, and the command on the right was about a thousand steps faster than the command on the left, so it only took about a quarter of an hour to put all the attacking troops into battle, like a wave, and until they were defeated. After that, the army behind them also attacked according to this method. The infantry was responsible for providing cover for it, and the cavalry was responsible for expanding the results of the battle.

After noon, the Song army began to launch an attack. Under the cover of artillery fire, the Dragon General took the lead in launching an attack. The battle was as Zhao Yong estimated. The corps formed by the surrendered troops on the left wing of the Jin army, facing the fierce attack of the Song army, lacking training and combat experience, and the infantry arranged on the front line under the impact of the Long General's long cavalry and cavalry's rifle collapsed instantly, and even the nearby Jurchen legion was affected and fled without fighting.

The Song army was as powerful as the left wing troops collapsed and gradually collapsed. Even the cavalry on the second line retreated one after another, trying to re-establish the defense line. However, the Song army's cavalry attacked too fiercely and was out of touch with most of them. It was also very dangerous to lose the cover of the infantry and fall into the enemy formation. They had to retreat and wait for the infantry to catch up, but the Song army's "right hook punch" also removed the entire left arm of the Jin army.

While the right wing of the Song army was fighting fiercely, the Jin army was also launching a roundabout attack on the Song army. The ten thousand men commander Wanyan Mengshi led a team of ten thousand people to detour on the left wing of the Song army. Unfortunately, his nightmare was complicated. The dunes on the river beach were uneven and bushes were growing, which was not suitable for cavalry to make rapid maneuvers, which greatly affected his offensive speed. When they deviated from the right wing to the Song army front, they were fiercely fired by the Tiger Wing Army Brigade defending the front of the left wing. The guns were launched. Under the machine guns, the Jin cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and Wanyan Mengshi was injured and fell off his horse.

However, the Jin cavalry composed of the Jurchens fought bravely, which was not comparable to those miscellaneous brands. They immediately joined the battle against the rain of bullets, and the two sides started a fierce melee...
