The circle of the defense of Nanjing by the monk Wanyan Chen became smaller and smaller, retreating from the outer line defense of Kaifeng Mansion to the defense outside Bianliang City, and defending in the middle of Bianliang City in a complete retreat. The first recommendation is to go to the eyes and read the book, the whole text is not advertised. And on the other front of the Jin State, Wanyan Changzhi, who quelled the rebellion, was also in trouble.

Due to the intervention of the Song army and the Mongolian army, the originally good pacification situation became complicated, and Wanyan Changzhi had to give up continuing to attack Yan'an Mansion, temporarily retreat to Shizhou, and consider the next step. It also gave the rebels a rare respite.

But at this time, the northern border of the Kingdom of Jin also became dangerous.

The Mongol army changed the habit of retreating to the grassland after a robbery in the past, and under the leadership of Mu Huali, after seizing Hengzhou, it was stationed in Hengzhou, and at the same time divided the troops into two roads, one led by Yelu Ahai and Yelu Bald Flower, to the northeast to attack Linhuang Mansion, and the other road turned to the southwest, led by Bolhu to attack Xuande Mansion.

Fortunately, the general Yang Woyan sent troops in time to hold Xuande Mansion and block the advance of the Mongol army. But it's not so good in Linhuang Mansion. Because a group of local Khitan and Xi people rose up in response to the Mongol army, Gyeongju and Linhuang were lost one after another. Fortunately, it was the Fushi Lie Zhining, who guarded the Beijing Road, who sent troops in time, and the Mongol army was insufficient to recapture. But it can only be guarded by division of troops, so as not to support it.

Compared with the offensive of the Mongol army, the momentum of the Song army was even greater. Following the Song general Li Haoyi captured the three counties of Xuzhou, Baode Prefecture and Gaogang Prefecture, Bi Zaiyu, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Anxi Road, led an army of 60,000 troops to enter the territory of Jin State from the three counties, and with a strong army, Lian successively captured Lanzhou, Guanzhou, Ninghua Prefecture, Daizhou and other places. The centaurs further threatened the Taiyuan Mansion. At the same time, Li Haoyi waved his troops north, captured Wuzhou, Shuozhou and Yingzhou, and the front of his troops was directed at Datong Mansion. In less than half a month, the Song army dispatched a total of 80,000 troops and successively captured more than ten prefectures and counties in the north of the Jin State.

Therefore, Wanyan Changzhi had to withdraw his troops from Shizhou and garrison Taiyuan Mansion to resist the aggressive offensive of the Song army.

Just after Yan Changzhi withdrew his troops, the rebels immediately recaptured Shizhou and Xizhou. And immediately expanded the army by more than 30,000 people, led by Po Sa, 50,000 troops, and attacked Fenzhou.

Fenzhou is the gateway to the west of Taiyuan, so naturally there is no room for error. Wanyan Changzhi immediately left Pucha to guard Taiyuan Mansion, and he and Shi Mo Yanshan led 30,000 horses to rescue Fenzhou. As a result, the two armies fought a major battle in the Xihe County area west of Fenzhou. However, most of Poza's men and horses were new troops who had never been on the battlefield, and there was Wanyan Changzhi's opponent, who was defeated and dismantled nearly 20,000 troops and retreated to Shizhou.

Wanyan Changzhi was about to continue to attack Shizhou, and at this moment, an urgent message came from Taiyuan Mansion that the Song army, led by Bi Zaiyu, was attacking Xinzhou.

If Fenzhou is the gateway to the west of Taiyuan, then Xinzhou is the gateway to the north of Taiyuan, so Wanyan Changzhi left Shi Mo Yanshan to lead 20,000 horses to fight against the rebels under the city of Shizhou, and returned to Taiyuan Mansion by himself, and a total of 25,000 troops and horses were joined by Pucha Dingzhu to rush to the rescue of Xinzhou.

The Song and Jin sides fought fiercely at the edge of the Xinshui River. The Song army is not comparable to the rebels, they are all well-trained and experienced elite divisions, and they are brave in battle, and the main general Bi Zaiyu is also a famous general second only to Yang Yan in the Great Song Dynasty, so the two sides have launched several fierce battles in a row, and on the whole, they have won and lost each other. However, Bi Zai was unable to win, and retreated back to Ninghua Prefecture to garrison. Wanyan Changzhi did not dare to venture into the army, and also returned to Taiyuan Mansion

According to Wanyan Changzhi's plan, it was to let the monk Wanyan Chen hold Kaifeng Mansion, and after he defeated the rebels and put down the rebellion, he would lead the army to aid Kaifeng Mansion and repel the Song army. However, although the current situation in Taiyuan Mansion is not as precarious as that in Kaifeng Prefecture, Wanyan Changzhi can only hold the front line of Taiyuan Mansion, and it is simply impossible to defeat the rebels, the Song army, and the Mongol army.

At the same time, the letter of Monk Wanyan Chen was also sent to Taiyuan Mansion every day, so that Wanyan Changzhi could learn about the progress of the war in Kaifeng Mansion in time. After learning that after a fierce battle like a meat grinder, the Jin army guarding Kaifeng Mansion lost the defense line outside the city, and Wanyan Changzhi also knew that the loss of Kaifeng Mansion was only a matter of time. Therefore, Wan Yan Changzhi also began to think seriously about the next plan.

At this time, bad news came from the north, and the Song army was joining forces with the Mongol army to attack Xijing Datong Mansion. In the former land of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Song army occupied four of them. On the front line of Kaifeng Prefecture, the barrier Xiangfu County in the west was also lost. Monk Wanyan Chen also sent a letter, saying that he would die in Kaifeng Mansion.

After Yan Changzhi was also pale, it was time to make up his own mind. Therefore, he immediately wrote a letter, asking Monk Wanyan Chen to immediately withdraw his troops from Kaifeng Mansion, withdraw to the north of the Yellow River, and garrison in the area of Xiangzhou and Daimyofu. At the same time, the troops were withdrawn, including Guo Xiajiao of Jingzhao Prefecture who retreated to Luzhou and Pingyang Prefecture to garrison, while Shi Dingyue and Fusan Zhongyi of Shandong also retreated to the front line of Yanzhou and Dongping Mansion. In other words, Wanyan Changzhi intends to abandon all places south of the Yellow River.

Because Wanyan Changzhijing is very clear, the battle situation has unfolded to this point, and Daikin Yijing is very passive. Under the powerful offensive of the Song army, it was basically difficult to hold Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and Shandong. And the total strength of the Jin army in these places is nearly 200,000. It would be too wasteful for such a huge force to lose in these places that are destined to be lost. This is Daikin's last capital.

Therefore, it is better to completely abandon the area south of the Yellow River, re-establish the defensive front with the line of Hebei and Hedong, shrink the defensive circle, and look for opportunities to turn defeat into victory, or keep the northeast of the Yellow River, wait for the opportunity, and then show the picture. If it really doesn't work, then, as Pufeng said, completely retreat to the Shangjing area, and return to the state when Donkey Kong was founded, no matter what, it can also keep Dajin's ancestral temple and imperial tomb, which is much better than when the Northern Song Dynasty fell.

When the order was transmitted to Kaifeng Prefecture, the siege of the Song army began. On the first day of the siege, the Song army attacked the city wall many times, and although they were all repulsed by the Jin army, their morale did not decrease at all. But the Jin army is demoralized, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold out for a few days.

After Monk Wanyan Chen received Wanyan Changzhi's general order, he also understood Wanyan Changzhi's intentions. Although he made up his mind to defend Kaifeng Mansion with Yijing, with this opportunity, he could not die, and no one was willing to die. So Wanyan Chen monk immediately recruited the main generals and told them that they could abandon Kaifeng Mansion and retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River.

After the generals learned about it, they were also very happy, because everyone knew that Kaifeng Mansion could not be defended, and now it was the emperor who ordered to retreat, so there was no responsibility, and naturally everyone was happy.

The next thing is to arrange the retreat, the withdrawal has always been the most difficult to press the platoon, and now there are ** 10,000 horses in the city, one is not good according to the platoon, and if it is chaotic, it will be out of control. What's more, this withdrawal will have to cross the river, and if you don't prepare enough boats, you can only look at the water and sigh when you get to the river. At that time, after the order of Monk Yan Chen, Shang Jingliang was ordered to rush to the Yellow River immediately to collect boats and supply the army to cross the river. He also ordered Yan Kuang to take responsibility for sorting out the materials in the city, taking away what could be taken away, and destroying what could not be taken away. He also asked Wan Yanchong to collect cattle and donkey vehicles and prepare to transport supplies. The rest of the men had to hold the city until it was time to retreat.

After the arrangement, Monk Wanyan Chen ordered again that the news must not be spread. The generals also understood that the morale of the troops in the city was already unstable, and once they knew that they could retreat, it was not a rush to disperse. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to let the soldiers know.

The next day, the monk Wanyan Chen announced to the whole army that the emperor had quelled the rebellion and was about to lead an army of 100,000 to aid Kaifeng Mansion, which would take as little as five days and as much as seven days, and the army would arrive at Kaifeng Mansion, so the soldiers were required to hold out until the help arrived.

After hearing the news, the Jin army was refreshed and their morale recovered a lot. Therefore, in the second day of the battle, it was noticeably much more positive.

And in the dark, Monk Wanyan Chen was preparing to retreat. The first to withdraw from Kaifeng Prefecture were the wounded soldiers and grain and grass supplies, and then the defenders also began to retreat in batches. All the soldiers did not know the true situation until the moment of retreat. The soldiers who did not have their turn to retreat were all sent to the city wall to defend the city at the first time, and they lived near the city wall, so as not to let their existing men retreat and shake the morale of the army.

It can be said that in the process of evacuating Kaifeng Mansion, Monk Wanyan Chen still showed the quality of a famous general, and everything was orderly and orderly. And in the meantime, because the Jin army thought that there was hope, it was also full of energy, and it also worked extremely hard in the defense of the city, and repelled the attacks of the Song army many times, even Yang Yan felt very strange, at this time, the Jin army could still maintain such morale and fighting spirit, it was really rare.

However, the Song army now has the upper hand after all, and although the Jin army struggles to resist, the Song army still turns the advantage into victory step by step. In the sixth year of the Jin army's retreat, the Song army finally broke through the outer wall of Kaifeng Mansion, first breaking through the Nanxun Gate and Chenzhou Gate in the southern city, and then the Xinzheng Gate in the western city, which were also attacked one after another.

Of course, this is actually related to the fact that the Jin army has withdrawn a large number of men and horses, and the troops defending the city have become weak. Because unconsciously, there were only more than 30,000 Jin troops left in the city of Kaifeng, and all of them retreated into the inner city. However, at this time, it was getting late, and the overall situation was decided, Yang Yan ordered to temporarily stop the attack, first hold the breached city gate, and wait for dawn before attacking the inner city.

Monk Wanyan Chen led the army to retreat into the inner city, which explained the true image to the soldiers. At the same time, more than 30,000 war horses were left in the city, so on the same night, more than 30,000 Jin troops left the city overnight and fled to the north.
