Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

At this time, the cavalry of the Song Army was a little bit worse than the fine cavalry of the Jurchen.

Even with their four peerless warriors, they are still unable to engage in a large-scale cavalry duel with the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin.

They were in the center of the formation, and they cooperated with the infantry to stop the Jin cavalry.

In the end, the two sides fought for a whole day. Wanyan Zongfu's Jurchen [-]-strong team killed at least [-] volunteers, but also left behind the corpses of nearly a thousand cavalrymen from the Kingdom of Jin.

It seemed that the results of the battle were extremely brilliant, but Wanyan Zongfu forgot one thing, Zongze had too many people.

Zong Ze was playing crowd tactics.

On the second day, Wanyan Zongfu and Dong Dalang attacked at the same time, and nearly [-] elite soldiers attacked Zongze's infantry camp that stretched for more than ten miles.

Facing the ferocious offensive of the golden soldiers, Zong Ze sat in the center of the camp and sent up one after another rebels to fight against the golden soldiers with their flesh and blood.

At the same time, the four major cavalry generals led more than [-] cavalry to face off with the [-] cavalry of the Han'er Army like crazy.

On this day, Wanyan Zongfu lost nearly a thousand Jurchen elites and at least three thousand Han soldiers.

Of course, he caused at least [-] casualties to the Taihang Rebel Army.

At this time, both Dong Dalang and Heshi Tiger saw Zongze's plan, and quickly persuaded Yan Zongfu to withdraw from Yanyun.

Wanyan Zongfu said very arrogantly,
"I know that old Zongze is playing crowd tactics.

But you should also know that no matter how many Taihang grassroots there are, there are only so many real warriors.

As long as we fight for a few more days and exhaust the warriors among the grass bandits, old Zongze will collapse without a fight.

At that time, we will be able to chase and kill with the whole army, and return to the Song Dynasty without letting a single bandit go. "

Having said that, Wanyan Zongfu deliberately paused, and there was a gleam of ambition in his eyes.

This time, the two armies of the Jin Kingdom invaded the Song Dynasty did not seem to go smoothly.

If Wan Yan Zongfu could use 50 Jurchen iron cavalry, plus [-] Han troops, to defeat Zongze's [-] grass bandits, then the title of God of War in the Kingdom of Jin would fall on his head.

Wanyan Zongfu's thinking was not wrong, but he underestimated Zong Ze's ability to control the mob.

Zong Ze didn't gather all the warriors together. Instead, he dispersed the [-] civilians he had trained, as well as those Taihang grass bandits with outstanding military strength, and served as low-level officers in the army.

It is precisely because of the support of these elites that the Taihang grass bandits can not collapse despite heavy damage.

Wanyan Zongfu also overlooked one point. On this kind of bloody battlefield, the Song Army's combat effectiveness improved very quickly.

It's not that the golden soldiers haven't improved, but the combat effectiveness of the golden soldiers has reached the peak of the cold weapon army, so no matter how much they improve, they won't be able to improve much.

But this army dominated by Taihang grass bandits is different.

They were all bloody men in the first place, and they even knew how to punch a few times, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to the Taihang Mountains instead.

So these people have a good foundation, but they have not undergone rigorous training, so they are just a rabble.

However, in the bloody battle on the banks of the Baigou River, the combat effectiveness of the Taihang grass bandits changed almost every day.

Those Taihang grassroots who survived the bloody battle on the first day will improve a lot in terms of combat power and battlefield experience on the second day.

The two sides fought on the banks of the Baigou River for five days. Wanyan Zongfu killed at least 10,000+ Taihang grassroots bandits, but his own army was reduced to less than [-] Jurchen cavalry and [-] Han soldiers.

Although the Han'er army at this time has also become the elite of the rest of their lives, but in front of the 30 Taihang Rebels who have just shown their combat strength, they are simply blocking the car with their arms.

What's more, the Song Army cavalry at this time has increased to [-] cavalry.

There were too many Song troops, and every time a cavalry was killed in battle, there would be another one to fill it up.Every time a horse from the Jurchen army is captured, another cavalry will also be added.

Zong Ze finally survived the most difficult first five days with his excellent battlefield command art and the huge sacrifice of the rebel army.

On the sixth day, Wanyan Zongfu finally stopped holding on, and led the cavalry to retreat to Yanjing City in a panic.

Zongze took advantage of the victory and pursued.

But this time, Zongze failed to capture Yanjing.

Because after Wanyan Zongfu returned to the city, with the help of Liu Yanzong and Shi Liai, he recruited 1 strong people and cooperated with more than [-] elite soldiers to defend Yanjing.

The armor of the rebel army was not complete, and coupled with the lack of corresponding siege equipment, they were unable to break through the city.

More importantly, at this time Hebei West Road has been caught in the flames of war.

Wanyan Zongwang led his army back to Hebei West Road. Although Zhong Shidao led the western army in hot pursuit, he was still unable to cause substantial damage to Wanyan Zongwang.

After all, the Western Army at this time, because of the sacrifices of Yao Ping, Zhong Yaogu and others, has already feared the Jin Bing.In addition, Wu Zetian did not have a personal expedition, and did not raise the morale of the whole army.

So they were not so much chasing Wan Yan Zongwang as they were following and watching.

The 30 Taihang Rebel Army was in Yanyun territory, unable to intercept Wanyan Zongwang's army.

After receiving the warning from Hebei West Road, Zong Ze immediately led an army of 30 to deploy a dense line of defense on the border between Song and Liao, blocking Wanyan Zongwang's way back.

In the end, the two sides collided head-on in Zhending Mansion and launched a head-to-head confrontation.

At this time, Wanyan Zongwang had 30 Jurchen soldiers and [-] Han soldiers, but Zongze had [-] bloody troops that had just begun to fight.

The Jurchen soldiers galloped like lightning, and the Han'er army was well-armored, and survived a hundred battles. However, the 30 Taihang rebels were all brave and fearless.

In the battle against Wanyan Zongfu, they beheaded [-] heads of the Jurchen army, and they earned [-] mu of fertile land.

But these fertile fields are far from enough to satisfy these rebels.

They decided to kill Wanyan Zongwang's 40-man team, earn another 10 mu of fertile land, and several [-] taels of imperial reward silver.

The hunger for land turned these rebels into dead warriors who feared no death.

The battle outside Zhending Mansion lasted for three days, and the rebel army completely wiped out Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army at the cost of sacrificing 7 people.Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yinshu can, and none of Wanyan's live girls escaped.

After this battle, the first duel between Song and Jin came to an end.

Wanyan Zonghan gave up the siege of Taiyuan and led more than [-] Jurchen troops to station in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to prevent the Song army from continuing to go north.

By this time, it was actually time for Wu Zetian to recuperate.

However, Wu Zetian was very dissatisfied with her performance in the rankings, so she committed the stubbornness she had when dealing with the Khitan rebellion in the Tang Dynasty.

A large army was wiped out by the Khitan on the grassland, but Wu Zetian sent out the army again and again.

It's completely giving away people's heads.

In June of the second year of Jingkang, Wu Zetian invited all the veteran generals of the Western Army to Bianliang City in the name of avoiding war and fearing war.The Zhong brothers were promoted secretly and served as the Taiwei of the Song Dynasty.

Some veteran generals of the Western Army who performed particularly poorly were directly executed.

Some generals of the Western Army who performed well were promoted, such as Han Shizhong and Wang De.
