If the theme of the sixth year of Jianxing of the Great Song Dynasty (117) was war, then in the seventh year of Jianxing (1177), it was a turbulent moment from the beginning. This year is also the first year of Dajin's Cheng'an, and the Dajin Emperor who succeeded to the throne for a year finally began to have his own era name, but unfortunately, when there was a rebellion within the Great Song Dynasty, the turmoil in the Jin State was also excessive. Therefore, at this time, Wanyan Yungong was not in the mood to celebrate at all.

In Yanzhou was attacked by the Song army on a snowy night, the Jin army was defeated, and nearly half of the men and horses were lost, but the disaster was not a single line, at this time, there was news that Yan Changzhi and Nanjing openly raised troops to rebel, although Yan Yungong was unwilling, but also had to decide to withdraw the army from Western Xia, and the class returned to Dajin to conquer Yan Changzhi.

The return route of the Jin army was still the same as when it marched, along the Hengshan Mountains to the east, through Yinzhou, crossing the Wuding River, entering the Hebei Road, and arriving at Taiyuan Province. And he sent someone to inform the men and horses of the other two Jin armies and Wanyan Yanmou, who was stationed in Jingzhao Mansion, to gather in Taiyuan Mansion. Prepare to meet Yan Yungong's army and conquer Yan Changzhi.

Because it has been more than ten days since the news of the Hushahu in Sushilie, during this time, Wanyan Changzhi will never do nothing. Fusan Zhongyi and Fushi Lie Zhining judged that the most likely move for Wanyan Changzhi was to send troops to capture Zhongdu. Taiyuan Mansion is located right between Nanjing and Zhongdu, whether it is attacking Nanjing, returning to defend Zhongdu, or intercepting in the middle, it is a very advantageous position.

At this time, the Jin army had only 1230,000 horses, including more than 30,000 cavalry, and less than 50,000 soldiers with armor and weapons. And the food and grass materials are also insufficient, fortunately, it is decided to withdraw the army, plus the two of them did their best to appease the soldiers, and killed horses and hunger along the way, so the whole army was able to endure and persist, and there were few complaints.

After more than ten days of marching, at noon that day, the Jin army's brigade finally went to the riverside. As long as you cross the Wuding River, you can immediately enter the territory of Dajin, so Wanyan Yungong and his ministers are also relieved. Although the Wuding River is not a big river, it is the middle of winter, and the river is frozen and it is difficult to cross the river on foot, so you must use boats or pontoon bridges to get there. At this time, the whole army was sleepy and tired, and Wan Yan Yungong ordered to build a meal by the river, and then ordered people to find boats, cut down trees and build bridges, and prepare to cross the river.

On the one hand, they ordered someone to set up a royal tent for Wanyan Yungong for him to rest, and on the other hand, they sent people to look for boats on the riverbank and cut down trees, and other soldiers also piled up soil and buried stoves, fetched water for cooking, and after a while, the whole riverside became a chaotic area.

However, the meal was not yet cooked, and the tent was only half erected, when he suddenly heard a dense and rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when the Jin soldiers and Jin Jiang looked back, they saw countless cavalry killed from behind them, and a nine-plain white banner was fluttering in the wind.

It was the Mongol army that came.

Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining couldn't help but be shocked, from the beginning of the withdrawal of the army, they have also been guarding against the pursuit of the Song army, and every day they have arranged for men and horses to be broken, very careful. But several batches of detectives were dispatched, and the results were that the Song army was attacking Xingqing Mansion with all its strength at this time, and did not pursue the Jin army, and they walked for a few days in a row, and they were all safe, so the two of them gradually relaxed and rushed back to the Jin country, and thought that now that the Jin army had gone far, the Song army could not catch up if they wanted to, so it would be fine. So he didn't arrange for the broken descendants, but urged the whole army to hurry with all his might, so as to hurry back to the Jin country as soon as possible. It was known that the Song army really did not chase after it, but it was the Mongolian army that was chasing.

In fact, according to Yang Yan's original idea, it was to let the Jin army go, so that the rest of the Jin army could return to the Jin country safely, so that Wanyan Yungong and Wanyan Changzhi could compete for the throne of the Jin country, and it was best to make the movement as chaotic, big, and long as possible.

However, at this time, Yang Yan had been edicted back to Jiankang, and although he had arranged all the things for the follow-up march of Western Xia and reached an agreement with Temujin on the distribution of the results after the capture of Western Xia, he was busy and forgot about letting the Jin army go back, and did not explain it to Temujin.

And Temujin already had a grudge against the Jin army, and with such an opportunity, he naturally would never miss it. Therefore, after Yang Yan left, Gao Zhen led the Song army to continue to besiege Xingqing Mansion, and in the siege battle, the Mongol army played little role, so Temujin only sent his younger brother Hesar, Temuge, and Belgutai to lead 10,000 Mongolian troops to participate in the Song army's attack on Xingqing Mansion, and he led other Mongolian generals to lead 20,000 Mongolian troops to chase the Jin army along the way. At this time, Gao Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to them.

Although the Jin army walked for several days, it was not fast because it was a defeated army, and the Mongolian army was all cavalry, or one person and two horses, taking turns to change cars, rushing day and night, and even eating and resting were spent on horseback. In this way, after three days and three nights, the Mongol army walked nearly 800 miles in a row, and finally caught up with the Jin army 20 miles west of Yinzhou City.

However, at this time, the Jin army had entered the city of Yinzhou, and the Mongol army could not attack, so Temujin decided to wait for the Jin army to leave Yinzhou before attacking the Jin army. At the same time, in order to avoid the spies of the Jin army, Temujin ordered all the Mongol troops to enter the Hengshan Mountains, while hiding their whereabouts, while also taking a short rest, and killing the travelers and hunters they encountered in the mountains.

In this way, the next day, when the Jin army left Yinzhou and set off again, the Mongol army had been keeping a firm eye on the Jin army, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

Waited until the Jin army came to the Wuding River and camped on the bank of the river to rest, and now the Jin army was tired and defenseless. As soon as Temujin saw that the time had finally come to attack, he immediately ordered Mu Huali and Borhu to lead 5,000 men and horses to attack the left flank, Borshu and Chilaowen to lead 5,000 men and horses to attack the right flank, and his own and Zhizhi, Kublai Lai, Subutai, Jebe, Zhu'er Tu, Yelu Ahai, Yelu Bald Flower and other generals, as well as three sons, led 10,000 men and horses to attack the center. Temujin raised his sword and led the Mongol army to attack the Jin army with three arrows.

Although the Mongol army was also very tired after several days of hurrying, the morale of the two sides was very different, and the Jin army had been defeated in a row, and its morale had already been low. On the contrary, the morale of the Mongol army is high, and there is a deep blood feud between Mongolia and the Jin country, and now is a good time to take revenge on the Jin army, so the Mongolian soldiers are full of fighting spirit, and they have long forgotten fatigue, hunger, and thirst, and they have all turned into vengeful wolves, only thinking of tearing their prey to pieces.

The Jin army had no fighting spirit, and now it was not in a hurry to defend, and before the Mongol army came closer, it had already been in disarray, looking for a place to escape and flee for its life, even if a few soldiers wanted to meet the Mongol army, but they could only be wrapped up in the majority of the flow of people, and they couldn't help it. As a result, you hit me, and I stopped you, making the situation even more chaotic.

When Su Shi Lie Zhining saw it, he hurriedly ordered people to prepare horses, and called on generals such as Meng'an Qijin, Pucha Zhenyi, Wanyantong, and Wuyan to rectify the men and horses to resist Mongolia, but it was too late, and the Jin army was already out of formation, and the team was not in formation, so they couldn't stop drinking with a few of them.

At this moment, the first wave of blows of the Mongol army fell on the head of the Jin army, countless sharp arrows fell from the sky, and at once took the lives of countless Jin soldiers, the screams of sorrow and misery sounded to the sky, and the blood began to stain the land by the river red. The Jin army was even more panicked, people pushed horses, horses trampled people, horses overturned and people fell, shouting to shake the sky.

By the time the three cavalry of the Mongol army rushed into the Jin army, the war was no longer a war, but a one-sided massacre, and only the Mongol army slaughtered the Jin army. The Jin army had no power to resist, and was only killed by the Mongol cavalry, scattered, and broken. They could only run along both sides of the riverbank, and some Jin troops who knew how to swim in the river jumped into the Wuding River and swam to the opposite bank, regardless of the cold and slippery water of the river.

And Wanyan Yungong and the ministers in the very center of the entire Jin army, fortunately, there were more than 2,000 personal guards around to protect them, so they were not scattered by the chaotic army for a while, and they did not let the Mongol army kill closely, but they were also wrapped up in the chaotic army and could not move. At this time, Su Shi Lie Zhining said: "Your Majesty, it seems that we can't cross the river for a while, so let's go south along the Wuding River first." "Along the Wuding River to the south, you can also enter the territory of Daikin, which is Suide Mansion on Jingzhaofu Road. Therefore, Su Shi Lie Zhining suggested that the army march on a different route in this way.

And at this time, Wan Yan Yungong had already scared the six gods without a master, and he did what others said. At the moment, the two people supported by Su Shi Lie Zhining and Fusan Zhongyi got on the horse, and under the protection of the generals, they walked south along the Wuding River. But at this time, the Jin army was beaten by the Mongol army and retreated to the river, making the river bank very crowded, and after walking for a while, it only walked a few dozen paces, and at this time the Mongol army was about to kill.

Wanyan Yungong couldn't help but feel anxious, and immediately ordered to kill the people and horses in front of the team, and personally drew a bow and arrows, and shot to death the three Jin soldiers who were blocking their advance. The other Jin soldiers also wanted to flee for their lives, and when they saw the emperor taking the lead, they immediately imitated the school, facing their former comrades, and their former comrades-in-arms did not hesitate to add their fists and feet, guns and knives were opposite, and they fought a bloody way in their own crowd, just to fight for the opportunity to escape on the front line. And the generals such as Fusan Zhongyi and Fushi Lie Zhining were also silent about this, but only protected Wanyan Yungong and escaped from the passage that was rushed by the flesh and blood of the Jin army.

After everyone's desperate battle, they finally fought their way out and gradually got out of the battlefield. But there are only hundreds of people left around Wanyan Yungong, Wenchen only Wanyan Baisa, Zhang Wenshou and a few others, Wuchen only Fusan Zhongyi, Sushi Lie Zhining, Sushi Lie Hu Shahu, Shuqi Gaohu, Meng'an Qijin, Pucha Zhenyi and others, the general Wuyan was also killed by an arrow, and Wanyan Tong also died in the chaos.
