Eighty-two outposts
In the face of the Song army's full-line attack, Wanyan Chen monk also gathered troops and dispatched generals to meet the Song army. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly. Read please lock. First, in response to the Song army's arrangement to abandon Shandong and take the initiative in Nanjing, Shi Dingyue of Xuzhou and Gu Lijia of Pizhou were ordered to attack the flank of Cao Xun's department of the Song army to support the defenders of Haozhou. He also sent 10,000 men and horses from Nanjing to support the defenders of Ruzhou and resist the attack of the Song army's Gao Zhen Division. And Wanyan Chen Monk and Pu Atong led the generals Wanyan Kuang, Wanyan Chong, Wanyan Ting and others, and an army of 50,000 to enter Xuzhou and fight a decisive battle with Yang Yan's Middle Route Army.
The battle began in the middle first, Yang Yan ordered Chen Min to lead 30,000 horses to attack Chenzhou, and Qi Fang led 30,000 horses to attack Xuzhou.
Chen Min led his army from Shangcai to the east, first captured Nandun County in Chenzhou, and then led his army to the northwest to attack Shangshui County. Wen Gusun, the general of Chenzhou, led 20,000 horses to the rescue, and the two sides started a big battle outside Shangshui County.
Because both sides knew that this was the first battle of the Northern Expedition of the Song Army, and it was also the first battle of the Jin Army to defend Nanjing, and they both hoped to make a good start, so they both worked very hard and fought hard, but they refused to take a step back, and they only fought fiercely for nearly two hours, and they did not know the winner.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Chen Min mobilized a thousand armored cavalry to chisel through the tactics to storm the middle of the Jin army, and actually broke through a big hole in the middle of the Jin army, and the Song army suddenly increased its morale, and seized the gap of the Jin soldiers, and continued to chase and fight, and the Jin army finally could not resist the attack of the Song army, and returned to the city of Chenzhou. In this battle, more than 500 troops were dismantled.
After the victory of the Song army, Chen Min took advantage of the situation to capture Shangshui County. Then divide the troops to attack Chenzhou on two routes.
After Wen Gusun returned to Chenzhou, he took a short rest, and then immediately led his army to attack again, and fought a fierce battle with Chen Min in Wanqiu. This time, Wen Gusun knew that he could not be defeated again, so he also used a spear in his hand to go into battle in person, leading the soldiers to rush left and right in the Song army formation, fighting desperately. And the Jin army saw that the main generals were desperate, and everyone fought bravely, and fought fiercely for more than two hours, and finally killed the Song army unable to resist, Chen Min saw it, and had to lead the army to defeat.
When Wen Gusun saw that he had defeated the Song army, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately led his army to pursue him. But at this moment, another Song army finally arrived at the battlefield in time and launched a fierce attack on the flank of the Jin army. After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the Jin army's physical strength was consumed by most of it, and it was in a hurry, where it could block the impact of the Song army on the other road, and the men and horses suddenly became chaotic.
At this time, the Song army led by Chen Min saw that the reinforcements arrived, and their morale suddenly soared, and they immediately led the army to turn around and kill back.
The Song army defeated the Jin army again, killing more than 3,000 people and capturing more than 600 people. There are a lot of swords, guns and flags. And Wen Gusun was defeated in World War II and dismantled more than 6,000 troops, so he had to hide in Chenzhou City and did not dare to fight again. Chen Min took advantage of the victory and marched to capture Xihua County in the north of Chenzhou, forming a semi-encirclement of Chenzhou.
At the same time that the Song army won victory in Chenzhou, Qi Fang also led his army to capture Yuncheng County in Xuzhou. Then he waved his troops north, defeated the reinforcements of the Jin army again at Xiaoshang Bridge, and took advantage of the situation to capture Linying County. The soldiers approached the city of Xuzhou.
However, at this time, the 50,000 reinforcements led by the monk Wanyan Chen also arrived by the meridian, and the forward men and horses arrived at Yanling County at the junction of Xuzhou and Kaifeng Prefecture. At the same time, Tang Guoduan, the defender of Xuzhou, also led his army to attack, defeated the vanguard of the Song army at Changshe, killed more than 500 people, and temporarily defeated the Song army's attack on Xuzhou. When Qi Fang saw that the reinforcements of the Jin army arrived, he did not dare to continue to lead the army to attack, and returned his men and horses to the area of Linying County to garrison.
Yang Yan was the backup of these two Song armies, and there were 70,000 troops, and after learning that the two Song armies had their own gains, he immediately sent 15,000 men and horses to support Chen Min in attacking Chenzhou. Then he led 50,000 horses and horses, stationed in Yuncheng, rushed to support Qi Fang, and faced Monk Yan Chen.
At this time, Wanyan Chen led the army to defeat Qi Fang's left sentinel in Linying County, killing 2,000 Song soldiers, and at the same time, Tang Guoduan also led the army to approach Linying, and also forced Qi Fang to withdraw the entire army into Linying County, not daring to come out again. At the same time, he sent someone to Yang Yan for help, and asked Yang Yanxun to send troops to support him.
When Yang Yan had just entered Yuncheng, there was a small episode. Wanyan Zongzheng, who rebelled in Zhongdu, sent Jiang Hongtao as an envoy to ask for help from the Great Song Dynasty.
It turned out that the rebels were defeated by Wanyan Changzhi in Taiyuan Mansion, and even Bai Yanjing was killed in this battle.
Now the rebels are demoralized, the morale of the army is unstable, and Wanyan Changzhi himself is a famous general in the world, and he has a very high prestige in the Jin army, so once the Chinese capital is attacked, it is impossible for the rebels to hold Yan'an Mansion. And once Yan'an Mansion is breached, others may still have hope of surrendering and surviving, but Wanyan Zongzheng, Po Sa and several other leaders who presided over the rebellion have absolutely no way to live.
Therefore, Wanyan Zongzheng discussed with Po Sa, Wanyan Yunji, Wanyan Yunji, Wulin Datianxi and others, and everyone thought that the only way now was to ask for help from the soldiers of the Song Dynasty and jointly deal with Wanyan Changzhi. Even if it is to drink to quench your thirst, you will not hesitate to cross the current hurdle first. So everyone decided to take Jiang Hongtao as an envoy to ask the Song Dynasty for help, and promised to cede Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and Shandong.
Jiang Hongtao came to Anxi Mansion first, saw Xin Qiji, and submitted a letter of help to him. After Xin Qiji read the letter, he ordered Bi Zaiyu to send a detachment of men and horses to garrison Xiazhou, ready to support Yan'an Mansion at any time, and then beat Jiang Hongtao to the Central Plains battlefield to meet Yang Yan and submit a distress letter to Yang Yan.
Seeing that the Song army had a substantive action, Jiang Hongtao was also a little relieved, and then immediately set off to toss and turn, and finally rushed to Yuncheng to see Yang Yan.
After seeing Jiang Hongtao, Yang Yan was also very polite, because now the Great Song Dynasty still needs to play Yan Zongzheng's rebels to contain Yan Changzhi's energy, so that he can't rescue Kaifeng Mansion, and he already has Zhao Chen's authorization, so he can reach an agreement with the rebels on his own without reporting to the Jiankang Imperial Court. Therefore, he agreed to Jiang Hongtao's request at that time, and reached an agreement with him to deal with Yan Changzhi together.
Moreover, Yang Yan immediately ordered to go to Anxi Road and let Xin Qiji fully aid the rebels and resist Yan Changzhi's army. At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Mu Huali, the Mongolian general stationed in the east, asking his troops to attack Datong Mansion and contain the northern strength of the Jin army.
After getting Yang Yan's promise, Jiang Hongtao was also greatly relieved, and with the help of the Song army, there was great hope for holding Yan'an Mansion, so he immediately went on the road the next day, returned to Yan'an Mansion, and reported to Wanyan Zongzheng, Po Sa and others.
After defeating Jiang Hongtao, Yang Yan immediately began to arrange a march to attack Xuzhou. At this time, Yang Yan's men and horses included the front of the palace Si Qifeng, Tabai, Ma Jun Si Xiaocai, Kerong and Bu Jun Si Xiongwu, and Xiaoshun Sixth Army. There were 45,000 men and horses, and 1,000 war elephants. After receiving Qi Fang's call for help, Yang Yan immediately ordered Wu Xi, the former commander of the palace, to lead the men and horses of the headquarters, and immediately send troops to camp near Xiaoshang Bridge and wait for the arrival of his army.
Zhao Yueru couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Yang Yan being assigned like this, and only after the account was dispersed did she ask: "The Jin army is attacking Linying, why don't you send troops to rescue, but instead set up camp near Xiaoshang Bridge." Is there still more than 20 miles away from Linying? ”
At this time, Zhang Wei and Luo Yunyao were still in the big tent to help them pack up their documents, and at this time, Zhang Wei was promoted to a martial artist from the seventh rank because of his merits, and was transferred to the Ma Jun Si Xiao Cavalry Army as a preparation general. However, he usually lived with Yang Yan, Yang Yan called Zhang Wei to the map and asked, "Xiao Wei, do you know why I let Wu Tong go to Xiaoshang Bridge to station?" ”
After a few months of training in the army, Zhang Wei Yijing has added a lot of actual combat experience, listened to Yang Yan's question, and immediately compared the map: "Although Linying is only a county town, but there are also cities to defend, although Director Qi has suffered defeats, but he still has more than 20,000 people and horses, and the materials and weapons are complete, it is absolutely possible to defend Linying for three or five days, and then we will send troops to rescue Linying, and we can defeat the Jin army if we attack inside and outside." Therefore, Wanyan Chen monk will never attack Linying at this time, he will definitely send troops to capture Xiaoshang Bridge, cut off the connection between Yuncheng and Linying, as long as Linying's rescue route is cut off, at most ten days, Qi Gongshi's military rations will be insufficient, and then it will naturally be defeated without a fight, and then the Jin army will break through one by one, not only can Xuzhou be saved, maybe it can also defeat our attack on Tokyo in one fell swoop. ”
Zhao Yueru nodded at this time, from Yuncheng to Linying to Xuzhou, it was the main battlefield of Yue Fei's Northern Expedition in the tenth year of Shaoxing (114o), but Xuzhou was still called Yingchang at that time. It was here that the Yue family army achieved brilliant results, and in the two battles of Yuncheng and Yingchang, they defeated the main force of the Jin army of Yan Zongbi, which made the prestige of Yue Fei and the Yue family army reach its peak for a while.
The small business bridge is the only way from Yuncheng to Linying and Xuzhou. At that time, during the two battles of Yuncheng and Yingchang, there was a fierce battle between the Song and Jin sides, and Yang Zaixing, the number one fierce general of the Yuejia army, was killed by the Jin army's random arrows here. At that time, Wanyan Zongbi just wanted to capture Xiaoshang Bridge and cut off the connection between Yuncheng and Linying, so as to divide the Yuejia army into two pieces, and then break them one by one.
Zhao Yueru was naturally familiar with that period of history, so after listening to Zhang Wei's explanation, she completely understood, but Zhang Wei was able to understand Yang Yan's intentions so quickly, and not only was she a little impressed by him, but also said with a smile: "I can't see that after a few months of training, Xiao Wei has grown a lot of knowledge, and in another two or three years, maybe he will be in charge alone." ”
