Qiming 1158

Chapter 466

According to Su Jue's speculation, if these two plans are completed, Jin's rule in Yanyun will be almost in place, and it is basically impossible to maintain it.

If things go well by then, Su Yonglin should have already defeated the main force of the Jin army and can lead his troops north to help.

When the main force of the Restoration Army arrives, all the land of Yanyun will surely be attached.

The main force is here, and Zhongdu is a dead city, lifeless, and there is no other way to go except surrender.

So at that time, Jin's rule in Yanyun can be declared over.

As for the Liaodong Raiders...

Then we will talk about it after Su Yonglin arrives in the Central Capital.

Liaodong is the hometown of Jurchen, and there are at least tens of thousands of troops that can be mobilized, not to mention the long distance and the difficult road. Without adequate preparation, it is difficult to succeed.

As for another terrifying possibility, that is the possibility of Su Yonglin's defeat.

In Su Jue's view, it was almost impossible.

With the logistics cut off, how could the main force of the Jin army defeat Su Yonglin?
Back then, Su Yonglin was able to lead the army against Wanyan Alin's cavalry despite the inferior strength and the desperate situation of a single horse, let alone this scene?

Su Jue never doubted that Su Yonglin would lose the battle. If he did lose, Su Jue felt that it wouldn't matter if he died in Yanyun.

So in the second half of the first month, before Wanyanliang died, when the battle situation was still unclear, Sun Ziyi and Su Jue sent troops.

This is the third time that a Han army has entered Yanyun for a strategic operation since the failures of Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Ji, which is of great significance.

At this historical juncture, both Sun Ziyi and Su Jue felt inexplicable pressure and motivation.

They divided the labor.

Sun Ziyi, who was more secure with his troops, attacked and besieged the Central Capital, cut off the traffic inside and outside the Central Capital, besieged the political and military hub of the Jin Kingdom in the Yanyun Land, and turned all the surrounding Jin Kingdom official institutions into headless flies.

Su Jue, who was daring and good at rushing with his troops, led his troops directly towards Yuguan, seized this important point, and then slowly attacked Pingzhou, Luanzhou and other places in the west.

Keeping these two points in mind, the official power of the Jin Kingdom in the Yanyun Land is a headless fly, and it is impossible to properly command the Jin army left behind to launch a counterattack against the Restoration Army.

The marching process was actually very smooth, which surprised both Sun Ziyi and Su Jue.

They did not encounter any very fierce Jin Army elites who dared to resist or resist.

The Jin Army and the ruling institutions of the Jin Kingdom in the Yanyun area were greatly shocked by the sudden northern expedition of the Liberation Army, and they all believed that the main force of the Jin Army had been destroyed in Hebei and Shandong, and the main force of the Liberation Army had begun the northern expedition.

The main force of hundreds of thousands of troops has been defeated, what else can they do?
In despair, many Jurchens ran to the center, daring not to surrender, for fear of being killed by the Restoration Army, which was strongly targeting the Jurchens.

The remaining bureaucrats and officers who were not Jurchens also ran a large part. According to the statistics after the event, about four-fifths of them ran, and only about one-fifth did not run.

The high-class people have always done their ass right, and they have always been suspicious of the policies of the Restoration Army, so they would rather run with the Jurchen than stay to meet the Restoration Army.

As for the remaining one-fifth, they didn't run. They felt that Jin Guo had no future. Running back to the middle was just a wedding dress for the Jurchen. Take, stay and meet the Restoration Army.

What's more, there are many lower-level Jurchens who can't escape, so they simply lied that they were Han or Khitan, changed their names, changed their faces, and surrendered together in disguise, trying to survive.

Sun Ziyi's northern expedition took only eight days to break through Xincheng, Fanyang, Wanning, Liangxiang, cross the Lugou River, and reach the capital of Zhongdu.

The Jin army in Xincheng, Wanning, and Liangxiang all surrendered in front of the banner of the Restoration Army, without any resistance, and handed over the city obediently.

Fan Yang tried to resist because the guard was a Jurchen, but two hours after the Restoration Army besieged the city, a mutiny broke out in the city.

The Han soldiers believed that the Jin Kingdom was about to end and were unwilling to die for the Jin Kingdom, so they united to kill the Jurchen defenders, and also killed the Han officers who were unwilling to surrender together, and opened the city gates to welcome the Restoration Army into the city.

After Sun Ziyi entered the city, he executed all the Jurchens and the main officers in the city, and continued to send troops north.

The soldiers of the Restoration Army were sharp and powerful. The Jurchen and Han Khitan senior officials along the way were even more afraid to resist. They abandoned their positions and chose to flee. No one dared to resist again.

They have all run away, who will hold on?

Wanning and Liangxiang decided to surrender before the Restoration Army arrived, and the Han, Khitan and other people in the city organized to welcome the Restoration Army.

Wherever the Restoration Army soldiers went, there was almost no resistance. The army advanced all the way, and the capture alone was enough to provide military supplies, and even the logistics were saved.

On the 27th of the first lunar month, Sun Ziyi encountered resistance from the Jin army in Wanping. The number was about [-], both on foot and on horseback.

Sun Ziyi dispatched Jiang Liangping to lead his troops to fight against him, and the two sides faced off.

But when the Restoration Army launched an attack, Sun Ziyi discovered that this golden army was nothing more than a silver-like spearhead.

Jiang Liangping fought bravely, commanding the infantry formation to face the Jin Army's formation, and also led a few cavalry to personally attack the Jin Army's cavalry formation, moving forward step by step.

And Jin Jun stepped back.

After only half an hour of the field battle between the two sides, the golden army collapsed and was defeated by the recovery army. More than 1000 people died in battle, and [-] were captured. Flat was breached.

The last barrier in front of the Central Capital was taken by the Restoration Army.

Is Jin Jun already weak to this point?
The commander-in-chief of the army, Sun Ziyi, took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the [-] Liberation Army marched towards the Central Capital City.

On the 28th of the first lunar month, Sun Ziyi surrounded the city of Zhongdu and began to besiege the city. The defenders of Zhongdu put up a relatively tenacious resistance, and the Liberation Army could not take Zhongdu for a while.

Of course, Sun Ziyi never thought that he would be able to take the Central Capital City immediately. This is the Imperial Capital of the Golden Kingdom. If it could be taken so easily, would it be worth it?

But what he did was an unparalleled political gesture, a sign that the Restoration Army had the power to defeat the Jin Kingdom and replace it, which was of great significance.

Therefore, after the siege of the city, Sun Ziyi expressed his excitement to Jiang Liangping with great emotion.

"Before the expedition, Yu Ting told me that if I could take the initiative to attack Yanyun and gain an advantage, forge ahead in the Central Capital, and fight against the Jin Army under the Central Capital, I would have done what Zhao Guangyi did back then. If I could If I conquer the Central Capital, then I will do what even Zhao Guangyi can't do."

Jiang Liangping nodded, also very emotional.

"I have heard the military instructors talk about Yanyun's past. This is the territory that was ceded to the Khitans by Shi Jingtang when the Song state was not yet established. Because of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Khitans were able to cross the border. Crossing the Great Wall directly threatens the Central Plains.

In the Central Plains, there was no danger to defend and the northern cavalry could not be stopped. So the country of Song fought several times for the sixteen states of Yanyun, but failed. After Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Ji once wanted to expedition Yanyun in the north, but... he Even the Khitans who were about to die could not beat them.

In the end, not only did they fail to capture Yanyun, but even half of the country was lost. It can be said to be extremely embarrassing and incompetent. Therefore, since Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun to Yanyun, it has been more than two hundred years since Yanyun became the land of barbarians. "

"If we succeed, we will be able to avenge our shame, regain Yanyun, and do what no one has been able to do in 200 years. If we can't do it, we are no better than Zhao Guangyi."

Sun Ziyi smiled and said, "But I think we can do it. Yuting is different from Zhao Guangyi, and even more different from Zhao Ji. With Yuting, the Liberation Army will definitely be able to dominate the Central Plains."

"I never doubted."

Jiang Liangping turned his eyes to the south: "Since Alang led us to defeat the Golden Bandit cavalry face-to-face in Zhending City, I have never doubted whether Alang can defeat the Golden Bandit, it's just a matter of time."
