Chapter 825
Following Wanyan Hao's loud shout, the army behind him immediately boiled up, and the news spread like the wind quickly throughout the entire barracks, and the soldiers could be seen everywhere gearing up and eager to try.

It is self-evident that they came to this battlefield to participate in the war. In addition to making meritorious service and gaining benefits for themselves, they also had another purpose, which was to take down the southern land.

You must know that the soil on the grassland is barren, and it is fine in summer, but the autumn and winter seasons in recent years have been cold and dry.

As a result, it is not only the high-level Jurchen tribes who are having a hard time, but the lives of all the common people have become problems.

The total population of the entire Jurchen Kingdom is only 30 people. The reason why they can mobilize an army of [-] is because the herdsmen on the grassland, old and weak, women and children, can fight on horseback.

They are also very clear in their hearts, if this continues, the future will be even more sad.

But if they can get a piece of land from Da Zhou, their crisis will naturally be alleviated.

It's not because of how much pasture the land in the south can have, but because the biggest difference between the land in the south and the barren grassland is that it can grow crops.

The reason why they kept migrating in order to feed their livestock was not because they looked down on the southerners who cultivated the land, but because the grassland land was not suitable for farming.

But Wan Yanhao also knew that even if the surface of the Bohai River was covered with a layer of ice, enough to march, the amount that could be carried was limited.

In addition, there are also people coming from the other side of the river. If they send out too many people, once they fall into the river, they will only die.

Therefore, Wan Yanhao only sent 1 people to attack this time, and the person in charge of leading the [-] troops was the number one general in the Jurchen tribe, Sa Ke.

Compared with the Han people in the Central Plains, the Jurchen people are inherently more courageous. Among the Jurchen people, Sa Ke is even more outstanding. He has shown strength far beyond ordinary people since he was a child.

Coupled with the horse fighting talent that he possessed like a help from the heavens, Sake soon gained a great reputation among the various tribes.

This news naturally reached Wan Yanhao's hands, Wan Yanhao immediately found Sake, and asked him to fight with various experts in the Jurchen tribe, but Sake knocked them to the ground without exception.

Sa Ke became famous in the Jurchen country, Wan Yanhao was overjoyed, let him stay by his side as a personal guard, and later let him join the Jurchen army, and now he is one of the most outstanding generals of the Jurchen tribe .

Although all Jurchen people are soldiers, there is also a gap between trained soldiers and ordinary militia.

There are [-] elite soldiers in the entire Jurchen clan, all of whom are not engaged in production all the year round and concentrate on training.

These [-] elite soldiers were respectively named Greedy Wolf Army, Huben Army and Flying Fox Army, and Sake is the current leader of the Huben Army.

As the name suggests, the Huben Army refers to the soldiers of this army who are as brave as tigers.

Wan Yanhao dispatched the Huben army, obviously attaching great importance to this first battle between the two sides, but it is not surprising, after all, before this, neither the Beihai army nor the Jurchen tribe knew each other well .

The so-called lion fighting the rabbit still needs full strength, not to mention the opponent's menacing attack, it is definitely not easy.

On the banks of the Bohai River, the army was waiting in formation. Sake was riding a white horse, and he was wearing a golden armor that Wan Yanhao had personally rewarded, with patterns of dragons, tigers and animals carved on it.

White horses were rare among the Jurchen tribes, but this steed was even taller. With Sa Ke's broad shoulders and broad back, it looked majestic under the sunlight.

"General Sake, this battle has worked hard for you."

"The Beihai soldiers are just a group of children, and this battle will definitely make them return home in defeat."

"When the general wins the first battle and returns, I will definitely reward you a lot."

Wan Yanhao stood beside Sake, clasped his fists and said to Sake with a smile,

Sake also smiled triumphantly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, these Beihai soldiers are nothing more than chickens and dogs. Let me kill them to pieces."

Although the Jurchen tribe is just a group of barbarians in the eyes of the Central Plains, they certainly understand the importance of morale.

Whether this first battle can be won will have a huge impact on morale.

It was precisely because of this that even though Sa Ke was among the generals of the Jurchen tribe, he could only be regarded as a junior with more than bravery but inexperience, but Wanyan Hao still wanted him to be the vanguard general for the first attack.

Only a fierce general like Sake, who would forget what he was doing when he went to the battlefield, and only focus on killing the enemy, could stimulate the morale of his side to the greatest extent.

Even if the first battle is lost, but the soldiers are red-eyed, it is not difficult to fight back.

What's more, the enemy sent 1 people to cross the river this time, but Wan Yanhao couldn't think of how he would lose if [-] cavalry faced [-] infantry.

Sake's voice fell, and he stopped dawdling.

I saw his legs clamp the horse's belly, and the white horse rushed forward, jumped up, and landed firmly on the ice.

Behind Wan Yanhao, the ten thousand Jurchen cavalry also let out a shout, and the army each rode their horses forward and onto the river.

However, the cavalry troops did not step onto the river neatly. According to their past experience, their steps must not be too neat after they got on the ice.

The width of the Bohai River is about fifteen miles. This distance is not long or short. In addition, there are no other obstacles on the river to block the line of sight. Therefore, after the army boarded the river, they could see the other side of the river at a glance. The enemy army is marching this way.

But the Jurchen soldiers can see the Beihai army, and the Beihai army can also see the Jurchen troops.

"General, the Jurchen army has already landed on the river and is marching towards our army. At this speed, the two armies will meet in half an hour. Please general at most."

Right in front of the Beihai army, Zhang Aolong was riding on a tall horse, suddenly a soldier beside him rushed to report.

Standing side by side with Zhang Aolong was the commander of the [-]-strong army, as well as Bao Yun's original deputy named Zhao Huan.

When everyone present heard the news, their complexions suddenly became more serious, and they looked towards Zhang Aolong.

After all, Zhang Aolong is the commander of this ten thousand army, no matter what they do next, they need Zhang Aolong's permission.

Compared with the reactions of other people present, Zhang Aolong seemed very calm, and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, why are you so nervous?"

"Before the army marched, didn't I already tell you the countermeasures? After the Jurchen soldiers arrive, you should follow the countermeasures I said earlier. Isn't the problem solved?"
