In fact, after the Song army landed on the shore, Yang Yan basically knew about the movements of the Jin army from the spy personnel placed in Zhongdu by the Great Song Dynasty. Bayi Chinese Net >>〉.>

Because the current situation in the Jin Kingdom is precarious, and the control of the Central Capital has also been greatly relaxed, it is a great opportunity for the activities of the spy personnel of the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops and a large number of grain and grass materials cannot be concealed. After a group of Song troops landed, these reports were transmitted to Yang Yan, coupled with Yang Yan's previous analysis of the Jin State, so it is not difficult to conclude that the Jin State is now retreating to the Shangjing area with the scriptures.

It's just that what Yang Yan didn't expect was that Wanyan Changzhi didn't leave and still stayed in Zhongdu. But he was immediately relieved, and Wanyan Changzhi didn't plan to leave.

Although he knew that the Jin army was retreating to Shangjing, Yang Yan did not intend to pursue the Jin army. Now the first batch of Song troops to cross the sea is only 30,000 people, including only 8,000 cavalry troops, such a force, even if it catches up, may be able to deal a certain blow to the Jin army, but it cannot stop the retreat of the Jin army. Of course, it might be useful if the boat went around from the sea to the front of the Jin army to block the attack, but the Song army's fleet had to immediately pick up the next group of troops crossing the sea, because they only had fifteen days' food, so it was impossible to change the plan.

On the other hand, Yang Yan also believes that if Jin Jun honestly returns to Beijing, it may not be a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty. The main goal of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty this time was only to recover all the lost territory, and the boundary was the former Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures region, whether it could completely eliminate the Jin State was not in power, and there was no interest in the Shangjing region for the time being. The top priority of the Song army was to occupy Zhongdu as soon as possible and lay a good foundation for seizing the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

At the same time, the situation in Hebei and Yanyun is too complicated, forming a four-way entanglement of forces in the Great Song Dynasty, Mongolia, Jin, and Jin rebels. Yang Yan didn't take the rebels of the Jin Kingdom to heart, don't look at them making a lot of fun now, destroying them is a matter of raising your hand; Although the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army is strong, and there are a number of generals who can fight well, but in this area, there is still a lack of foundation, and it is not difficult to deal with; Therefore, the strongest opponent facing the Great Song Dynasty is still the Jin State. If at this time, the Jin Kingdom can withdraw from the competition and withdraw to Shangjing, then the situation will be reduced a lot, and Yang Yan will feel much more relaxed.

Of course, this does not mean that the Great Song Dynasty will let go of the Jin State, but it is not in a hurry, and after the Great Song Dynasty recovers all the lost territory, the country is bound to expand further, as long as it rests for a few more years, after the national strength is restored, it can send troops to attack the Shangjing area at any time and completely destroy the Jin State.

It was based on these considerations that Yang Yan decided not to consider pursuing the Jin army, or proceed according to the original plan and attack Zhongdu. The fleet immediately returned home, and the Song army established a forward garrison here. Moreover, due to the retreat of the main force of the Jin army to the north, the Song army basically had no problem gaining a foothold in the Zhongdu area. Now we only have to wait for the arrival of the second group of troops, and we can attack the central capital.

On the eighth day, the vanguard of the fleet sent a message to the seashore of Daxingfu, and the second group of the Song army would arrive tomorrow.

When Yang Yan learned that reinforcements were coming, he immediately ordered the Song army to attack and attack the vanguard of the Jin army. Gao Fulin led the army to meet the battle, and the two sides started a big battle on the seaside of Daxing Province.

But as soon as the fight started, it was a little unexpected by Yang Yan, who thought that the war had come to this point, and even the main force had withdrawn, and the fighting spirit of the Jin army should be greatly reduced, but this Jin army was different, everyone was brave, one by one, waving the weapons in their hands, desperately attacking the Song army. Although the Jin army was still smaller in number than the Song army, in the first period of the battle, both the momentum and the soldiers completely overwhelmed the Song army.

In fact, the Jin army's offensive cannot be described as brave, but desperate, even crazy. Because almost all of the Jin troops who stayed behind were determined to die.

The Song army was obviously not prepared enough for this, and was beaten back again and again by the Jin army at the beginning. Fortunately, the Song army is also well-trained, experienced in a hundred battles, although it retreats but is not chaotic, although it is at a disadvantage, it still maintains a complete formation and is not scattered at all.

However, Yang Yan soon saw that although the Jin army's attack looked crazy, it was actually just the last dying struggle of defeat, which came and went quickly, so as long as he resisted the Jin army's start of attack and maintained his formation from being beaten by the Jin army, when this sharp energy was exhausted, the Jin army would collapse immediately.

Therefore, Yang Yan commanded the Song army to fight and retreat, no matter how fierce the Jin soldiers' attacks were, how crazy the sprints were, and even the way of fighting regardless of life and death, but always insisted on the integrity of their formation, even if it was sometimes disrupted by the Jin army, immediately retreated quickly, pulled away from the Jin army, and then quickly adjusted. In the continuous retreat, little by little, the sharpness of the golden soldiers was consumed.

The battle lasted for almost half an hour, the Song army retreated more than 300 steps to the distance, and the sharp energy of the Jin soldiers was basically exhausted, and due to the previous desperate onslaught, the Jin soldiers fought separately, and the formation was completely scattered, and the positions of the infantry, cavalry, archers, rattan players, and pikemen were all chaotic, and every Jin soldier only cared about rushing forward and killing fiercely, and forgetting everything else.

As soon as Yang Yan saw it, he knew that the time for a counterattack had come. As the horn sounded behind the Song army, the Song army all stopped retreating, and no matter how hard the Jin army rushed and struck, it would no longer take a step back.

And at this moment, the formation of the middle of the Song army suddenly divided left and right, and I saw Zhao Yue like a white horse and a long stick, leading three thousand armored cavalry troops to kill out of the Song army's formation. Zhao Yue was like a long stick wheel, dancing out of thousands of yellow mangs, powerful steel casting, fierce and vigorous, only to hit the head of the Jin soldiers, and they were killed on the ground, leading the armored cavalry of the Song army, like a sharp vertebrae, and suddenly plunged into the formation of the Jin army. Immediately slaughtered the Jin army into chaos.

Subsequently, the Song army also launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Jin army, although the Jin army was still resisting to the death, but at this time, the Jin army's sharp spirit was exhausted, the formation was chaotic, and in the face of the Song army's counterattack, it could not carry out organized resistance with Ben, and could only rely on personal swords to fight to the death. However, on the battlefield, it is not possible to win by relying only on hard work, and this kind of straggler-style combat style cannot be matched with the overall combat with formation, organization, and coordination. Therefore, the counterattack of the Song army only lasted only one pillar of incense, and the Jin army was completely defeated and collapsed.

With Yang Yan's order, the Song army immediately dispersed into more than a dozen squads to watch and pursue, divide, encircle, encircle and annihilate the defeated Jin army. Everything went in order, and there was no mess at all. At the same time, it also shows the good quality of Song Jun.

The battle lasted only a little more than an hour, and as a result, the Jin army was defeated, and the Song army killed more than 6,000 people, captured nearly 4,000, and defeated less than 10,000 people who returned to the central capital. The casualties of the Song army were less than 2,000, most of which were killed at the beginning of the battle because they were taken by surprise by the Jin army.

The next day, the fleet of the Song army really arrived at the coast of Daxingfu again, and Cao Xun and Zhang Shiyan led 30,000 horses to board 6 places. After the Shuangwan army, Cao Xun told Yang Yan that Gao Zhen's army occupied Hejian Mansion with Yijing, and it was only separated from Daxing Mansion by a Bazhou. At the same time, Yang Changpeng, who was guarding Yizhou, was also leading the army to attack Yizhou.

After Yang Yan learned about it, he immediately ordered that he and Zhao Yueru and Liu Fuwu led 40,000 horses and horses to rush to the city of Zhongdu immediately, Cao Xun led 10,000 horses to attack Bazhou and respond to Gao Zhen, Zhang Shiyan led 10,000 horses to attack Yizhou, and Yang Changpeng to open up the 6 passages for the Song army to enter Daxing Mansion, and then immediately rushed to Zhongdu to join forces with Yang Yan and attack Zhongdu.

After the assignment was completed, the Song army immediately divided into marches, and three days later, Yang Yan, Zhao Yueru, and Liu Fuwu led the Song army, and finally arrived at the middle capital.

In ancient times, the central capital was Youzhou, also known as Yanjing, which has always been an important frontier for the Central Plains Dynasty to prevent the northern nomads from going south. Since it was ceded to the Liao State by Shi Jingjiao in the first year of the Later Jin Dynasty (936), it became the base for the Liao State to plunder the Central Plains in the south, and it suffered for more than 300 years. After the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties thought of recovering the land of Yanyun, and Song Taizong moved two northern expeditions to recover Yanyun, but they were all defeated, Song Taizong fled in panic on a donkey, and the famous general Cao Bin's reputation was also ruined, and even Yang Jiye, who returned to the Great Song Dynasty, also died in the field.

It was only in the fifth year of Xuanhe (1123) that the Song and Jin alliances destroyed Liao, and they were briefly recovered by the Great Song Dynasty. But it was only two years, and in the seventh year of Xuanhe (1125), the Song and Jin wars were born, and they were taken away by the Jin State until today. Now it is the capital of the Golden Kingdom.

After decades of operation of the Jin country, now the scale of the capital is comparable to Bianjing and Jiankang, the city wall is high and wide, there is a city defense river around the city, the river surface is wide, it is indeed a fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as there are enough troops and food and grass in the city, I am afraid that even if there is a million troops, it will be difficult to capture the central capital.

In fact, Yang Yan's 40,000 horses can only block the Zhongdu side at most, and it seems that it can't shake the Zhongdu City at all, so after Yang Yan led the army to the Zhongdu City, he couldn't easily attack the city, and stationed the men and horses in the southeast of the Zhongdu, and only sent a small number of men and horses every day to inspect the terrain of the Zhongdu, and at the same time to test the reaction of the Jin army. And after waiting for Cao Xun and Gao Zhen to connect, he led the army to come.

And Yang Yan is different, Wanyan Changzhi also did not move, but every day sent someone to find out whether the army of Monk Wanyan Chen had arrived in Jinzhou. Both sides are waiting for news from their companions.

Three days later, under the front and rear of the Song army, it finally broke through Bazhou, opened up the passage to enter Daxingfu, and on the other line, Yang Changpeng also captured Zhuozhou, and the three Song armies successfully met under the middle capital, gathering a total of about 150,000 troops.
