After listening to the lectures of Doljia and Potala, Wanyan Changzhi, Shi Dingyue, and Pu Atong were completely relieved, and they were very happy, because with the support of Huining Temple, their certainty of success this time would be greatly increased.

Then Wanyan Changzhi immediately ordered, and the men and horses continued to set off. Of the 15,000 men and horses he led, there were 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, including 1,000 Tiefutu. Moreover, in order to ensure the rapid movement of men and horses, all the infantry were also equipped with a war horse, so they marched all the way urgently, and it took only four days to reach Zhongdu from Nanjing.

When he arrived near Zhongdu, Wanyan Changzhi first stationed his men and horses secretly outside the city, and then sent people to infiltrate the city and get in touch with Wanyan Fushou and Na Yan Ming'an. At this time, Wanyan Fushou and Na Yan Ming'an had already made preparations for internal response, and each of them had hundreds of private soldiers, all of whom were mobilized, plus Wanyan Changzhi sent Wen Gusun, Shi Zhan, Tang Guorui, and Gu Lijia with a group of soldiers to sneak into the central capital secretly, and together, there were more than 1,000 people.

Because Wanyan Changzhi's army moved too quickly, at this time in the middle capital, although he also heard some rumors, he was not prepared at all. And Wanyan Yungong personally drove to rescue the Western Xia, not only took away most of the garrisons in the central capital, but even the troops around the central capital were almost all withdrawn, so at this time, the garrison of the central capital was very empty, and all the defenders were less than 20,000. There were a total of nine gates in the capital, and the garrisons in the city not only had to defend the palace, but also the garrisons outside the city, and each gate could only be garrisoned by 300 people.

Therefore, after Wan Yan Fushou and Na Yan Ming'an received the news of Wan Yan Changzhi's arrival, they immediately personally led Wen Gusun, Shi Zhan, Tang Guorui, Gu Lijia and others to lead private soldiers to ambush near Yong'an Gate. In the evening, Wanyan Changzhi led a large army and killed Yong'anmen in the south of the central capital. And the people in the city also fought together.

The Jin army defending the city was unprepared and didn't expect that there were still people and horses in the city to welcome them, so they couldn't resist it at all, and they were killed and scattered at once, so they easily opened the city gate and let Yan Changzhi's army enter the city. The two sides met at Yong'an Square.

Successfully entering the middle capital is equivalent to half the success. Wanyan Changzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed. And Wanyan Fushou and Na Yan Ming'an and others saw that Huining Temple also came forward to support Wanyan Changzhi, and they were much more sure of success, and they were also very happy.

At that moment, several people gathered in front of Yong'an Gate to discuss, and decided to immediately divide the troops into two routes, one way to finish Yan Changzhi and Doljia, Potala, Wen Gusun, Shi Zhan led, 2,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry troops, to attack the palace and the three provinces and six departments, control the jade seal and civil and military hundred officials, and the other route was led by Shi Dingyue and Pu Atong, also 2,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry troops, to attack the barracks and eliminate the living resistance in the city. And Wanyan Fushou and Na Yan Ming'an led Tang Guorui and Gu Lijia to lead the remaining 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry troops, plus their private army as a reserve force, while guarding Yong'an Gate, they were ready to support in two ways at any time.

After the assignment was completed, everyone immediately divided their troops and set out for their goals.

The central capital city is distributed in a cross, and the whole city is divided into four areas by the four avenues of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu, and the imperial palace is located at the center of the cross. At this time, Wanyan Changzhi led the men and horses along Suzaku Street and marched towards the palace. Suzaku Street is one of the main roads in Zhongdu, the street is more than ten zhang wide, leading from Yong'an Gate to the main gate of the Imperial Palace, Chang'an Gate, which is also the reason why Wanyan Changzhi chose to enter Zhongdu from Yong'an Gate.

As soon as I arrived in front of the Guang'an Gate, I saw that as soon as the palace gate opened, a team of Jin troops came out of the city, led by three monks, who were Dajin's current national teacher An Ze and his two major disciples, Taitu of the Dragon Venerable and Hailancha of the Fuhu Venerable.

Originally, Jin Guo has always believed in Buddhism, and built a Chongde Temple in the palace for the concubines, princes, princesses, and other people in the palace to worship Buddha and offer incense, and the presiding monk in the temple has always been the most trusted and respected by the emperor. And since Wanyan Yungong ascended the throne, An Ze has made great contributions, plus he and Wan Yan Baisa are each other's wings and support each other, An Ze's status has also risen and become increasingly important.

Therefore, Wanyan Baisa proposed to Wanyan Yungong, saying that Anze is proficient in Buddhism, has profound morals, and has the best power, so he can get rid of demons and subdue demons, so it is better to let him be the presiding monk of Chongde Temple, and live in the palace, on the one hand, he can pray for His Majesty, on the other hand, he can also deter ghosts and ghosts and protect the safety of the palace. Wanyan Yungong also thought deeply when he heard this, and immediately issued an edict and appointed An Ze as the abbot of Chongde Temple. Therefore, An Ze was proud, and took his two major disciples, the Dragon Venerable Taitu and the Fuhu Venerable Hailancha, and a group of disciples and grandchildren, and lived in the Chongde Temple. Wanyan Yungong left Zhongdu to rescue Western Xia and left An Ze in Zhongdu.

At this time, some of the defeated troops guarding Yong'anmen had already reported to the palace, and those who stayed in the palace tonight were Pingzhang political affairs Su Shi Lieliangbi.

It was late, he was sitting in the duty room reading a book, and after hearing that Yan Changzhi led the army into the middle capital city with the scriptures, and was killing towards the palace, he was also so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly went to recruit the people who guarded the palace, and ordered people to transfer the garrison in the city to defend the palace. At the same time, of course, Su Shi Lie Liangbi knew that although An Ze did not have any ** strength, his martial arts were extremely high, and his disciples were also strong in martial arts, and today the matter was urgent, and An Ze also had the responsibility to protect the safety of the palace, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform An Ze.

After An Ze heard the news, he immediately rushed to the political hall, saw the frightened Su Shi Lieliangbi, and comforted: "Lord Pingzhang don't need to panic, forgive Yan Changzhi is just a clown, what can you do, wait for the poor monk to lead the army out, take him down, and correct the law of the country, that is." ”

Seeing An Ze so confident, Su Shi Lie Liangbi was also a lot more relieved, and at this time, Wan Yan Yixin and Wan Yan Qi, the two main generals of the Jin Army guarding the palace, also rushed to the duty room. There were 2,500 guards in the palace, and after a little discussion, it was decided that Wanyan Yixin would lead 1,500 people to fight with Anze, and Wanyan Qi would lead the remaining 1,000 people to stay in the palace.

An Ze took Taitu and Hailancha, as well as more than sixty disciples and disciples, and fought out of the palace with Yan Yixin and the army. Just had a meeting with Wanyan Changzhi's army.

At a glance, An Ze couldn't help but be taken aback, he originally thought that Wanyan Changzhi could come so quickly, and there would definitely not be many people and horses with him, and it would be good to have three or four thousand. And he only had to fight with his back to the city, drag them for a while, and wait until the garrison in the city arrived, and he could naturally defeat Yan Changzhi before and after.

Nazhi looked through the moonlight, and saw that Yan Changzhi's men and horses occupied almost the entire Suzaku Street, and there was no end in sight. At least, there were four or five thousand people. But now it is too late to retreat, and we can only hope that the garrison in the city will arrive soon.

At this time, Wanyan Changzhiwei immediately crossed the spear, standing in the middle of the street, An Ze saw it, and shouted: "Wanyan Changzhi, you are so bold, you dare to rebel, are you not afraid of the nine clans?" ”

Wanyan Changzhi laughed, in fact, he was most worried that the defenders were hiding in the imperial city and fighting according to the city. Seeing An Ze questioning him, he ignored him, and showed the spear in his hand, and a group of infantry about 500 people immediately went out of the column and attacked the defenders.

An Ze snorted, looked left and right, and said to his two disciples: "You two bring people up to resist." ”

When Taitu and Hailan saw their master's order, they immediately agreed, and took more than sixty disciples to meet Wanyan Changzhi's people.

It turned out that although Suzaku Street was very wide, the battle field was still narrow, and there were only twenty or thirty people fighting side by side. Although there are many men and horses who have completed their faces, not only can the troops not be fully deployed here, but also the tactics of surpassing the two wings and interspersing with roundabouts cannot be used. Therefore, it is not difficult to deal with.

And in this kind of terrain, it is more conducive to giving full play to the characteristics of his disciples' high personal martial arts skills and strong individual combat ability, so An Zecai asked Taitu and Hailancha to lead the disciples to fight this first battle, hoping that the first battle will be defeated and Yan Changzhi's sharp spirit will be defeated.

Sure enough, as soon as the two sides came into contact, Wanyan Changzhi's men and horses were not opponents at all, and they were only killed and fell to the ground one after another, and after a while, more than 100 people were killed and wounded, and then they all retreated. Among An Ze's disciples, only a few were wounded, and none were killed in battle.

When An Ze saw it, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "After Yan Changzhi, you saw it!" You are Lao Na's opponent there, so don't you hurry up and surrender early. Lao Na can also say good things for you in front of the emperor, remember your past merits, and spare you from dying. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi also smiled slightly, this battle was purely a tentative attack, so he didn't care about the defeat, pointed his spear, and killed another team of men and horses from the team and killed the defenders.

This group was very different from the previous one, each soldier held up a one-man tall shield, arranged horizontally, one side after the other to form a shield wall. And in the gap between the shields, countless sharp spears stretched out, densely turned, like a forest of guns, pointing at the defenders. Then they marched in unison and pushed towards the defenders. An Ze couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it, how to deal with it this time.

In addition to the factors at the strategic level, in terms of the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the Jin and Song dynasties, although the Jin army still has a certain advantage in cavalry archery, this advantage has been reduced a lot by the Song army, and the combat effectiveness of individual Song cavalry troops, such as the white-robed army, is basically comparable to the cavalry of the Jin army. Moreover, the Southern Song Dynasty has been sparing no effort to buy horses over the years, and it is foreseeable that in future wars, the advantages of the Jin cavalry will be further weakened.
