Ten abandonment of Jiankang Mansion 6

At this time, Wanyan Changzhi was attacking Longxing Mansion, and after Zhang Hu, who was sitting in Lin'an, received the order, he informed Wanyan Changzhi on the one hand, and immediately sent a naval army to control Zou Huan and Tang Zhun, leading 200 warships and 8,000 naval troops to go up the Yangtze River from the Yangtze River and rush to Hezhou to support the Jin army crossing the river.

Sure enough, in this way, the Jin army's attack immediately achieved great results, first after the strength of the Western Route Army increased greatly, Wanyan Chen monk immediately divided his troops into two routes, and attacked Jurong and Lishui separately. After three days of onslaught, Lishui was finally captured. Bi Zaiyu was forced to give up Jurong and retreat to Moling Town, and the troops of Monk Wanyan Chen were less than thirty miles away from the city of Jiankang Mansion.

In the other two roads, with the addition of 200 warships and 8,000 sailors, the strength of the Jin army on the water surface of the Yangtze River also increased greatly, and the Song army's navy fought fiercely twice on the Yangtze River, although he lost more than 70 warships and more than 2,000 soldiers, but the Song army also lost 50 warships and injured more than 1,500 soldiers. Seeing that Yijing could not control the Yangtze River. The Jin army is also stepping up the mobilization of men and horses, preparing ships, and preparing to cross the river at Majiadu, Banqiao, Jiangtu, Daxin River Estuary and other places at the same time. The Song army's Yangtze River defense line was also in jeopardy.

At this time, the temporary court of Tanzhou also received an emergency, and replied to Jiankang Mansion in the name of the Privy Council, the imperial court is now unable to send a large army to support Jiankang Mansion, Jiankang Mansion can be guarded, if it can't be kept, then retreat to Jiangnan West Road, Poyang Lake, wait for the dispatch of the imperial court, withdraw or not, let Li Xianzhong deal with it himself.

After Li Xianzhong received the order, he immediately gathered the generals to discuss whether to withdraw from the army. All the generals believed that if there was no support from the army, it would be difficult for Yijing to hold Jiankang Mansion now, so it was better to evacuate Jiankang Mansion first and retreat to Jiangnan West Road according to the order of the Privy Council, where they could join forces with the imperial garrisons on Jiangnan and Jinghu Road, and then try to resist the Jin army.

After receiving the reply from the Privy Council at that time, Li Xianzhong also had a plan to withdraw the army in his heart, and now seeing that the opinions of the generals were unanimous, they all agreed to retreat, so he immediately decided to withdraw the army immediately.

The next step is to arrange for the withdrawal of troops. Jiankang Mansion is one of the five capitals set up before the Nandu of the Great Song Dynasty, the mansion is abundant, there is a lot of money and grain, and there are 670,000 horses, plus some family members and local officials, and there are no less than 100,000 people who need to be dispersed. Now that the Jin army is pressing the border, it is easy to talk about peace if it wants to withdraw safely. Fortunately, Li Xianzhong later received a letter from Yang Yan and knew that Yang Yan led the army to be stationed in Chizhou, and who was ready to answer him. In addition, there are 3,000 sailors and 80 warships, which is really a carbon in the snow for the Song army in Jiankang Mansion.

After deliberation, it was decided that the army would retreat by land and water, and retreat at the same time. Guo Zhen was responsible for the dispatch and command of surface ships, and more than 150 civilian ships were requisitioned, and the families of money, food, materials, officials, and soldiers were all evacuated by water, and Meng Zongzheng led 10,000 horses to take charge of the cover along the coast. The brigade retreated by land, led by Chen Min first, Li Xianzhong in the center, and Bi Zaiyu and Shi Jun each led 5,000 men and horses, and paid the blame. After the agreement, Li Xianzhong immediately wrote to Yang Yan, informing him of the arrangements for the withdrawal of the army, and asking him to arrange for men and horses to meet him by land and water.

As soon as the arrangements were made, the armies began to move. On the night of the same day, Meng Zongzheng also sent five squads of 500 men to smuggle across the quarry and set fire to the river, creating chaos. The north bank of the Yangtze River is mostly trees, and at this time, it is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the weather is dry, the north wind blows strongly, and the fire takes advantage of the wind, and immediately unfolds quickly, and it is out of control. Jiangbei is the men and horses of Posa, and although the camp of the Jin army is not in the place where the trees are concentrated, the fire spreads to the vicinity of the camp, which is also very scary. And as the fire grew bigger and bigger, it brought out a lot of smoke and choked people's lungs.

In addition, the Song army was scattered everywhere, beating gongs and drums, waving flags and shouting, and Ling Wei did not know how many people and horses the Song army had for a while, so he only sent a few small groups of elite cavalry to test the reality of the Song army. And strictly ordered the Jin army everywhere to strictly guard the camp, not to go out to battle easily, and prepare more buckets, earth and stones, to burn into the camp with fire resistance.

At the same time, Guo Zhen also commanded the Song army's navy to immediately attack the Jin army's navy in Jiangbei. The Jin army's navy was not as elite as the Song army, and the warships used were not civilian ships, or sea ships, and the performance was far inferior to the river boats dedicated to the Song army. And at this time, the fire on the shore was soaring, and I don't know what the situation of the camp on the shore was, and suddenly the people were panicked, and they all had no intention of fighting, and they fled for their lives.

At this time, Guo Zhencai ordered the fleet to set sail and anchor, swim up, and march towards Jiangzhou.

It wasn't until after dawn that the Jin army was deceived, in fact, there were not many Song troops on the shore, and the Song army fleet on the river did not fight with the Jin army, so they turned around and sailed west. At this time, the fleet of the Song army had sailed more than 20 miles. And Meng Zongzheng also led the Song army on the north bank, covering the fleet along the coast, and retreated together.

He was furious and immediately ordered the navy to reorganize the fleet, and Zou Huan and Tang Zhun led 150 warships to pursue the Song army. He also ordered the general Gao Jinzhong to lead 10,000 horses and horses to chase along the river, and he must catch up with the Song army.

Although the performance of the Song army's warships was better than that of the Jin army, it was too heavy at the bottom, and the speed was still slower than that of the Jin army's warships. Zou Huan and Tang Zhun were overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the sailors to hurry up and start the ship, and they must catch up with the Song army's fleet. At this time, Gao Jinzhong also caught up with Meng Zongzheng's men, and Meng Zongzheng led the Song army to form a formation at the edge of the water and engage the Jin army.

At this moment, a fleet of ships suddenly came out of the wet water, a total of seventy or eighty warships, all under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, and rushed towards the flotilla of the Jin army. It is the Jiangzhou Water Army.

It turned out that after Yang Yan received the arrangement for Jiankang's withdrawal, he immediately responded by land and water, and he paid the responsibility to respond by land, so that Jiang Hongtao led the water army under the command of Jiang Hongtao, and ambushed the Jin army in the water, and when the Jin army's warship arrived, he immediately stabbed out and killed the Jin army in a half-robe.

Zou Huan and Tang Zhun didn't expect that the Song army would ambush the next fleet here, they were caught off guard, and were immediately stopped by the Song army, and the Jin army immediately panicked, and under the attack of the Song army's rocket artillery, the Jin army was immediately in chaos, and the entire fleet was cut in two at once. At this time, Guo Zhen immediately led the Jiankang naval army to turn around, and went down the river to kill back, the Jin army's naval army was not the opponent of the Song army, and the sea ships used were far less flexible than the Song army's warships, and they were attacked by the Song army twice, and they were suddenly killed and collapsed, and the warships were burned one by one, and some were docked by the Song army's warships, and the Song soldiers stepped on the Jin army's warships and fought white-knives on the deck. Numerous casualties were immense.

As soon as Zou Huan and Tang Zhun saw that the situation was not right, they immediately ordered the bow of the ship to be turned around and fled quickly.

As soon as he saw the Jin army fleeing, Jiang Hongtao immediately led the Jiangzhou naval army in pursuit. And Guo Zhen led the Jiankang Navy to support Meng Zongzheng, who was fighting on the shore. The warships lined up on the north bank of the river, aiming at the Jin army and firing a volley of arrows, killing countless Jin soldiers in an instant. Seeing this, Gao Jianzhong knew that it was difficult to win, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Meng Zongzheng did not pursue, and after the Jin army withdrew, he led the Song army to board the warship and evacuate the shore. At this time, Jiang Hongtao, who was pursuing the Jin army, also led the army to turn back, and the two naval armies together protected the other ships and retreated to Jiangzhou.

After the Jin army withdrew to Posa's camp, the army suffered little losses, while the navy suffered almost half of the casualties. Po Sa was also helpless, but knowing that the Song army had retreated, he had no choice but to order the Jin army to cross the river and enter Jiankang Mansion.

After the waterway retreated, Li Xianzhong also led the brigade of Jiankang Mansion and began to retreat. And left 5,000 war horses to meet Bi again after paying the responsibility for staying in Moling Town.

As soon as Monk Wanyan Chen saw the Song army retreating, he immediately ordered Wanyan Sijing to lead a Jin army to capture Jiankang Mansion first, and he led Wanyan Ting and Xiaoshu Luding to pursue the Song army. However, Bi Zaiyu was guarding Moling Town, blocking the Jin army and covering the retreat of the army. The two sides fought fiercely for a day, and the Jin army was unable to conquer Moling Town. After Li Xianzhong's army had all retreated, Bi Zaiyu gave the order that the whole army got on horseback, abandoned Moling Town, and fled south.

Monk Wanyan Chen naturally refused to let go, and ordered Xiaoshu Luding to take over Moling Town, and he and Wanyan Ting led 15,000 cavalry to pursue the Song army. However, Wanyan Chen monk was also afraid that the Song army would have an ambush, so he sent Shi Mo Yanshan and Pu Atong to lead three thousand cavalry first, and he and Wanyan Ting, Shuhu Thorn Han, Hu Leming and others led the army to follow, and the two armies kept a distance of about fifteen miles.

In this way, the Jin army has been chasing out more than 50 miles, and when it arrived at the Danyang Lake in Taiping Prefecture, the Song general Shi Jun had already led 5,000 men and horses to ambush by the lake.

Chasing the Song army was the 3,000 cavalry led by Shi Mo Yanshan and Pu Atong, who did not panic at all when they saw that the Song army was in ambush, and led the army to meet the battle, and on the other hand urgently reported to the monk Wanyan Chen behind, asking him to quickly bring the army to support.

After Monk Yan Chen received the report, he knew that the Song army was indeed in ambush, so he immediately led the army to hurry up and come to the battlefield. The Song army did not expect that the Jin army would be divided into two roads, the front and back, and the number of people was smaller than that of the Jin army, so they were immediately surrounded by the Jin army, and they were about to be wiped out. Fortunately, at this time, Bi Zaiyu's men and horses did not go far, and when they saw Shi Jun being surrounded, Bi Zaiyu led the men and horses back and rushed into the encirclement of the Jin army, and finally opened a gap and rescued Shi Jun. Then the two led the army to continue to flee south, and the monk Wanyan Chen still divided the men and horses into two teams, one in front of the other, and pursued closely.
