"What? Wanyan Changzhi went to attack Yan'an Mansion? ”
After listening to the spies' report, Wanyan Zongzheng, Po Sa, and Shi Yanjing also looked at each other. Today is the twelfth day of their siege of Zhongdu, and the reinforcements from Datong Mansion have just arrived, so several people are discussing how to face Wanyan Changzhi under the city, but no one expected that at this time, Wanyan Changzhi not only did not rush back and forth to save Zhongdu, but went to attack Yan'an Mansion. This is the point where the rebels are hit.
Although the rebels now have two strongholds, Yan'an and Datongfu, Datongfu is obviously inferior to Yan'an. Because although Datong Province is the western capital of Dajin, it is located in the northern border of Dajin, and the north is the territory of Mongolia. And it was very close to the center, and the army would be there in a few days. What's more important is that Bai Yanjing, who is stationed in Datong Mansion, has only 20,000 men and horses, and around Datong Mansion, there are all men and horses who are loyal to Wanyan Changzhi. Therefore, Datong Province is not a suitable place to be a base area.
Yan'an Mansion is different, it is located in the western border of Dajin, more than 1,200 miles away from the central capital, and there are 50,000 troops there, and Jingzhao Mansion in the south is also contained by the Song army, which is powerless to threaten Yan'an. At the same time, Yan'an Mansion was connected with the Southern Song Dynasty, and although Wanyan Zongzheng did not reach an agreement with the Southern Song Dynasty, he also received a verbal promise from the Southern Song Dynasty, at least the Southern Song Dynasty would not help Wanyan Changzhi, and at the same time, when necessary, he could also ask the Song army to help. Therefore, everyone, including Bai Yanjing, agreed that Yan'an Mansion should be used as a base.
Now Wanyan Changzhi does not save Zhongdu, but goes to the army to take Yan'an Mansion, although he knows that he is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but the rebels can't ignore it. Especially now, I don't know how much time it will take to capture Zhongdu, if Yan'an Mansion is lost, then it will be homeless, and by then not only will this rebellion be completely defeated, but several of them will also be buried in the place of Quan Yuan.
Therefore, after discussing with Yan Zongzheng, Po Sa, and Shi Yanjing, they finally decided to immediately withdraw the siege of Zhongdu and rush back to rescue Yan'an Mansion.
When the rebels' men and horses had just arrived at the Fenshui in Taiyuan Province, they were attacked that night.
It turned out that Wanyan Changzhi led 30,000 horses to rush back to rescue Zhongdu, and ordered Shi Mo Yanshan to lead 20,000 horses to slow down, and personally led 10,000 cavalry, falsely claiming to go to Yan'an Mansion, in fact, to force the rebels to retreat. After learning of the withdrawal of the rebels, Wanyan Changzhi immediately stopped advancing towards Yan'an Mansion, but hurried to the area of Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong, where the rebels returned to Yan'an Mansion, to ambush and prepare to attack the rebels. Sure enough, after only one day of waiting, the rebels entered the territory of Taiyuan Mansion and camped in the northwest of Taiyuan Mansion at night to rest.
So on the third watch that night, Wanyan Changzhi led the army to attack the camp at night, and the rebels were defenseless and immediately chaotic.
In fact, Po Sa and Bai Yanjing are both experienced generals, and they don't know the reason why they must strengthen their garrisons when they camp in the wild. But the rebels are not down in the attack, not to mention the exhaustion of the troops, even the morale is very low, plus the days of marching, the soldiers are exhausted, so when it is time to camp and rest, they fall asleep in the camp tent, and Po Sa and Bai Yanjing also know that the soldiers are very hard, and they also think that Wan Yanzhi is rushing to Yan'an Mansion, and his men and horses should be very safe, so they are not too strict with the night garrison requirements. Although the rebels also left the soldiers who kept vigil, after entering the watch, the soldiers who kept vigil could not stay tired and took a nap.
Therefore, Wanyan Changzhi's attack on the men and horses was killed until the front of the camp, only to be awakened by the vigil rebels, but it was too late, Wanyan Changzhi led the army into the rebel camp, set fire everywhere, killed and slashed, only to kill the rebels' corpses all over the field, blood flowed into a canal, the entire camp became a sea of fire, and many rebels were still asleep, and they died in a daze.
In fact, Wanyan Changzhi only brought 3,000 men and horses to rob the camp, while the number of rebels was more than 30,000, but in the middle of the night, the rebel soldiers were asleep, and after being awakened, they didn't know how many people and horses were killed.
And Wanyan Changzhi's prancing horse waved his spear, clashing left and right in the rebel camp, galloping on horseback, at this time the camp was on fire everywhere, shining as bright as day, and many rebels could see Wanyan Changzhi's figure, not only frightened again.
Although Wanyan Zongzheng and others claim to overthrow the puppet monarch and defend orthodoxy, but now Wanyan Changzhi is the official emperor of Dajin, and in the hearts of most ordinary soldiers, his behavior is rebellious, and Wanyan Changzhi has been the number one general of Dajin's military for a long time, and his prestige in the army is well-known. Therefore, when he saw him personally going into battle and leading the army to rob the camp, everyone was naturally afraid, who would dare to be an enemy against him. Although Po Sa and Bai Yanjing were trying their best to lead the rebels to resist at this time, it was to no avail, and no one paid attention to their greetings.
As a result, he was killed until the sky was bright, and he retreated. At this time, the camp of the rebels was already full of wreckage, most of the tents and baggage were burned, the ground was full of dead bodies, and the soldiers who escaped by luck were basically untidy and unarmoured, and many of them were still wearing single clothes, and they did not feel anything when they fled for their lives at night, but now they calmed down, and they shivered with the cold wind.
Fortunately, the tents of the three princes and most of the officials were set up in the depths of the camp and were protected, so they were not harmed. But the image is also very embarrassing.
Wanyan Zongzheng, Po Sa, and Shi Yanjing had no choice but to order the soldiers, simply pack up their things, prepare to go out immediately, and continue to rush to Yan'an Mansion. The bodies of the dead soldiers were no longer buried, and they were thrown here for wolves and dogs to bite. Guan Jian said that the soldiers had to look for their own armor, weapons, and clothes, but most of the tents were burned, and the soldiers could only pick up the black ash and ruins to find out if there was anything they needed.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again in the distance, and I saw another group of Jin troops killing the rebels.
It turned out that Wan Yan Changzhi only brought 3,000 men and horses to rob the camp last night, and 7,000 men and horses were in the camp to recuperate, and after dawn, Wan Yan Changzhi returned to the camp and immediately ordered Pu Cha to lead the energetic 7,000 cavalry to attack the rebels again, causing continuous blows to the rebels.
Although after last night's robbery, the rebels still have about 25,000 troops, but this is just a number, at this time, the rebels can not be compared with the Jin army in terms of morale, physical strength, spirit and preparation, it can be said that Yijing has no combat effectiveness at all, and it can not even be called an army at all, as long as there are 1,000 regular troops, it is enough to defeat the rebels, let alone 7,000 men. Therefore, as soon as the battle began, the battlefield presented a one-sided situation, and the rebels could only be killed and fled in all directions, with no resistance at all.
Wanyan Zongzheng, Po Sa, Shi Yanjing and others did not bother to organize the rebels to resist in vain at this time, but took advantage of the fact that they were not surrounded, grabbed a horse and quickly rode it, and fled for their lives. It's just that some of the civil officials of the Han nationality suffered, although they were officials in the Jin country, they still retained the living habits of the Han scholars and doctors, and they usually sat in more sedan chairs than walked, and they rode horses in all directions. I've seen scenes like this today. Not to mention that you can't grab a horse, but if you grab a horse, you can't ride it without getting on and off the horse.
However, the three princes, the two horses and others have usually practiced, and they also have some riding skills, so they can escape in time. It's just that the family members, the two princesses of Jin Shizong, and the princesses of several princes, can only be left alone.
But now that it was broad daylight, the situation on the battlefield was clear, and Pu Cha Dingzhu had already seen their group, so he immediately sent someone to inform Yan Changzhi, and left 2,000 men and horses to clean up the mess, and personally led 5,000 men and horses to chase after them.
This pursuit was pursued for more than 50 miles in one go, and in the end less than 5,000 rebels escaped, and most of the rebel officials were caught up by the Jin army and killed or captured alive during the pursuit. Among them were Wanyan Yunzhong, the king of Shan, Tang Kuanding, the concubine, and Bai Yanjing, the main general of the rebels, all died in the chaos. However, Wanyan Zongzheng, Po Sa, Zheng Wang Wanyan Yunji, Shaowang Wanyan Yunji, Fu Ma Wulin answered Tianxi, Cui Li and others finally escaped.
Although Wanyan Changzhi still failed to completely annihilate the rebels in the end, after all, he defeated 30,000 rebels with 10,000 horses, and this victory was not small, and it also dealt a heavy blow to the rebels. However, Wanyan Changzhi only has 10,000 horses now, and they are all cavalry, and if he wants to attack Yan'an Mansion, he is still out of his power, so he can only return to Zhongdu for the time being, and after he can gather all the men and horses, he will attack Yan'an Mansion.
After Yan Changzhi returned to Zhongdu, the 20,000 horses of Shimo Yanshan arrived in Zhongdu, and at this time there was good news, it turned out that Yang Woyan had led his men and horses to recapture Datong Mansion, and also completely lifted the threat of the rebels to Zhongdu, so the rebels' stronghold was only one Yan'an Mansion.
Wan Yan sent people to reward Yang Woyan and the meritorious personnel who guarded the capital, and at the same time transferred men and horses to prepare to attack Yan'an Mansion and completely eliminate the rebels.
At this moment, Shi Mo Yanshan suddenly came to report that the four major disciples of Kumarosh, Doljia, Potala, and Chahai had arrived in the central capital and asked to see Yan Changzhi.
Wanyan Changzhi couldn't help but be stunned, they suddenly came to Zhongdu together to ask to see him, what was the matter, suddenly his heart moved, and he had an ominous premonition, and hurriedly ordered to invite the four of them into the hall.
Sure enough, the four of them came to the main hall, everyone was dressed in plain white filial piety clothes, and Kumarosh said: "Changzhi, the ancestor has passed away in Huining Temple six days ago. ”
After hearing this, Yan Changzhi felt that his throat was sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were black, and he fainted.
