The north is different from the south, although it is only the end of September and the beginning of the tenth month, but the weather is very cold, and there are a few snowflakes falling in the past two days, although it is not big, but it also tells people that the north has entered the winter.

After the fifth watch, the dark sky gradually brightened, and a golden soldier who had been guarding for half the night yawned, spit out clouds of white mist, moved his body that was almost frozen, and muttered: "In half an hour, you can be laid off and go back to rest." On such a cold day, it is really sinful to stay in such a ghost place and have to watch all night. ”

Another Jin soldier also stomped his numb feet and said: "You can save it, don't think about it, it's a little cold here, but it's too peaceful, the south is at war with the Southern Song Dynasty, if you are transferred to the past, it will be unlucky." ”

The previous Jin Hai was still a little unconvinced, and said, "What are you afraid of?" Lao Tzu still can't wait to go to the south, and he can fight for a good future with a knife and a gun, where it is like a nest here, even if he freezes to death, he has no way out. ”

Another Jin soldier said: "You want to be beautiful, and you don't want to think about who the general of the Southern Song Dynasty is, that is Yang Yan, who has been able to please him under him these days." Didn't you hear about it two days ago? Even Shandong is almost over, let's stay here honestly, it's a little cold, survive a few years, go to the kiln less, and the money you will get down will be enough for you to go home to buy a house and buy a land, and then ask for a Hun family, An Ansheng said. ”

Because the Jin soldiers knew that Mongolia was happening inside, Genghis Khan Temu did not lead a large army to attack Western Liao, and they all felt that the northern border was very safe, so they were also very relaxed when they were on duty and vigil. Several of the soldiers were talking and laughing.

At this moment, suddenly a golden soldier shouted: "Look, what is that?" ”

Everyone else looked in the direction of his finger, and saw countless shadows flickering on the gray horizon in the distance, getting bigger and closer. And everyone heard the sound of horses' hooves trampling the earth.

"It's not good, it's a Mongolian Tartar."

"The Mongol Tatar attack is coming. Hurry up, all hurry. ”

"Ring the bell! Hurry up and light the fire! ”

Several gold soldiers on night duty hurriedly moved their stiff bodies, some were busy ringing the bell, and some were going to beat the flint and steel to set off the flames.

The bell of the "dang, dang, dang" vigilance broke the silence before dawn, and the lit flames also pierced the gray sky, and after a while, the entire garrison camp was alarmed, and the golden soldiers who woke up from their sleep were busy wearing armor and looking for their weapons everywhere.

And the night vigil generals were still shouting loudly: "Hurry, move faster, don't grind, hurry up." At the same time, he commanded the soldiers who put on their armor to hurriedly take up their weapons and run to the edge of the boundary trench to prepare for battle.

But the Jin army's reaction was still a beat slower, and while they were still busy arranging, the Mongol army rushed to the range of bows and arrows, and the dense sound of horses' hooves was mixed with countless rapid and sharp sounds of breaking the air, tearing open the atmosphere, cutting through the night sky, and falling to the other side of the boundary trench.

The Jin army that was hit by the arrow let out a miserable wail, and the Jin army that did not have the arrow immediately looked around for a place to hide.

The Mongol army opened its bows and arrows, and rode forward, and in a blink of an eye rushed to the edge of the boundary trench. However, the trench that was nearly three feet wide was not something that a horse could jump over, not to mention that on the other side of the trench, there was a boundary wall more than five feet high.

But when the Mongol cavalry reached the edge of the trench, they did not force their horses to jump, but each man took a large bag from his horse's back, threw it into the trench, and then rode his horse back and gave way to his companions who came up behind.

It turned out that before the Mongol army sent troops, preparations had been made for a long time, and each Mongolian cavalry carried a bag of sand, and some even brought two or three bags, and when they rushed to the edge of the trench, they threw all the bags of sand into the trench, and in a short time, seven or eight places were filled in the trench, and some were even piled up as high as the boundary wall.

Then the Mongol cavalry rushed through the trench, jumped over the boundary wall, and entered the camp of the Jin army, galloping vertically and horizontally, rushing left and right. At this time, the Jin soldiers were already in chaos, in front of the Mongolian elite cavalry, they had no resistance at all, they were killed all over the place, and the rest of the people saw that the situation was not good, and they fled in embarrassment.

The sky gradually brightened, and Mu Huali and Boer suddenly jumped over the boundary trench and immediately stood on the boundary wall, looking at the battlefield full of corpses of the Jin army after the fierce battle.

Yelu Bald Flower came to them and said, "The Taishi really commanded the law, and we broke through the boundary trench at once. ”

Mu Huali smiled slightly, pointed to the vast place in front of him, and said, "If you break through the boundary trench, then let our Mongolian army run rampant." ”

Temujin led the Mongol army to attack Western Liao, but left Mu Huali to lead 30,000 horses, camped on the shore of Yu'er Sea, and waited for the opportunity to attack the Jin State, so as to cooperate with the Song army to contain the Jin soldiers on the northern front. At this time, there were several fierce battles between the Song and Jin dynasties, and Mu Huali also learned that the northern border of the Jin State was very lax, so he led the Mongol army to launch an attack on the Jin State in the north.

Mu Huali only had 30,000 horses under his command, of which the real Mongol army was only 10,000, 8,000 were Khitan warriors recruited by Yelu Ahai and Yelu Baldhua, and the rest were miscellaneous infantry such as Dangxiang and Xi. And this time only 10,000 horses were dispatched, and if the boundary trench was stormed, I was afraid that the loss would be too great, so Mu Huali deliberately chose the dawn when the soldiers were most likely to relax to attack, and as a result, he captured the boundary trench in one fell swoop.

Then Mu Huali immediately divided his troops, and he and Yelu Bald attacked Rouyuan all the way, and Borhu and Yelu Ahai attacked Shangyi all the way. The Mongol army entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

The Mongol army broke through the boundary trenches, entered Xuande Prefecture, and successively plundered more than ten county towns such as Rouyuan, Shangyi, Xinhe, Yangmen Town, and Wangyun. More than 30,000 people were killed.

The urgent documents flew to Zhongdu like snowflakes. Although Xuandezhou belongs to Xijing Road, it is only two or three hundred miles away from the central capital, and at the speed of the Mongolian army, it is only two or three days, so the entire central capital is greatly panicked. I was afraid that the Mongol army would take advantage of the situation to attack. In addition, Wanyan Changzhi is not in the middle capital now, and the ministers have no backbone in their hearts, and rumors spread for a while. Some ruffians also took the opportunity to make trouble, stirring up panic in the people's hearts.

Fortunately, at this time, Shangshu Lingyan Fushou and Zhang Hu, who stayed in the central capital, were still calm, and first ordered to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, and those who spread terror, create rumors, and disturb the law and order will not be spared. Later, he ordered that seven of the nine gates of the central capital be closed, leaving only two gates to enter and exit, and sent soldiers to guard it day and night, and Hu Leming was fully responsible for the guards of the central capital, and finally ordered Shulu to lead 15,000 men and horses to garrison Fengshengzhou to resist the route of the Mongol army's attack on the central capital. At the same time, he ordered to send a decree to Xijing in the name of Yan Chenglin, who was the supervisor of the state, and ordered Yang Woyan to stay in Xijing to immediately send troops to defeat the Mongol army.

After the implementation of this series of measures, the effect was immediately observed, and the Mongol army did not approach the central capital, so the people's hearts in the city began to gradually stabilize, the officials stopped panicking, and order returned to normal.

It's just that Yang Woyan mobilized an army of 40,000 to pursue the Mongol army, but he encountered a lot of trouble. Because the Mongol army did not engage Yang Woyan's men and horses head-on, as soon as they saw the army killed, they immediately turned around and ran. Because the Mongolian army only has one person and three horsemen, and the Mongolian horse is good at galloping long distances, and Mu Huali, Borhu, Yelu Ahai, and Yelu Bald Flower are four people who are suddenly divided and combined, gathering and scattering, which is difficult to catch, so Yang Woyan led the army to chase for more than ten days, but he couldn't catch up with the Mongolian army.

And the Mongol army also attacked the Jin army from time to time, or besieged a small group of lone Jin army, although it did not cause great damage to Yang Woyan, but it also made him uncomfortable. More than ten days later, the Jin army lost more than 5,000 men.

The Mongol army took advantage of the situation to move from east to west, from Xuande Prefecture, through Datong Prefecture, through Fengzhou, into Yunnei Prefecture, once again breaking through the boundary trench, and returning to the steppe from the area passing through Wanggubu.

Because the chieftain of the Wanggu tribe, Alawusi, personally led the army to respond, and Yang Woyan did not dare to go deep into the Mongolian steppe, so he had to return in vain. At this point, the Mongol army was rampant on the northwest border of Dajin for half a month before it was calmed down.

Wanyan Fushou and Zhang Hu were relieved to learn that the Mongol army had returned to the steppe, and they also lifted martial law in Zhongdu. And after the peace was safe, many ministers still had palpitations, and suggested to the two of them that they should jointly write to the emperor, asking the emperor to stop the southern expedition immediately and return to the capital.

After understanding the whole process of the Mongol invasion, Wanyan Fushou and Zhang Hu also knew that this southern expedition of the Jin State was related to the survival of Dajin, and it must not be abandoned halfway, and the Mongolian army actually did not have many people, but after the northern border of the Jin State was transferred to participate in the southern expedition, the troops were insufficient, and the Mongolian army easily broke through the boundary trench, and it was absolutely impossible to ask Wanyan Changzhi to withdraw because of this.

However, such a major event happened, and it was impossible not to tell Wan Yan Changzhi, so after the two discussed, they thought that only by drawing out a part of the guards of the central capital and increasing the defensive forces in the north was the only feasible plan at present, so in the official letter to Wan Yan Changzhi, on the one hand, he explained the process of the Mongol invasion this time, and on the other hand, he also put forward his own suggestions and asked Wan Yan Changzhi for a ruling. Then it was expedited with 800 miles and sent to Nanjing.

Seven days later, the two received a reply from Wan Yan Changzhi, first praising the two for their fearless and calm style, and then agreeing with their opinions, and at the same time instructing Yang Woyan and Su Shi Lie Zhining to strictly guard the northern border.
