I am Da Song

Chapter 200 The End of the Northern Expedition
When the whole city of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty was celebrating, the Battle of Two Rivers had also entered the final stage of bloodshed.

On the Hedong battlefield, Nianhan once again tasted the pain of being blocked by a strong city.

The Golden Army's West Route Army seems to have a lingering curse, that is, they have repeatedly encountered bloodshed under the fortified city.

Since the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, it has been the third time that a large number of 10 people have been mobilized.

But every time the West Route Army entered the country, it was very difficult. First, it was the battle of Taiyuan. They fought under the strong city for more than 200 days, nearly ten months, but did not capture Taiyuan. , Jin Jun boarded the top of the city.

Then came the Battle of Shouyang, where the West Route Army was completely defeated, losing tens of thousands of people.The battle to pacify the army was unsuccessful.Relying on the Eastern Route Army of the Kingdom of Jin to attack from the east, the West Route Army was finally able to enter the Central Plains.

Compared with the Hebei battlefield, the Song and Jin armies galloped for thousands of miles, and fought in large-scale field battles.

The West Route Army always fought against the Song Army under the same city.

This time, the Jin army was blocked again, and the Weisheng army was already north.From the beginning of autumn in July to the snowfall in October now, the Jin army is still at the foot of Hujia Mountain, not advancing an inch.

Supervisor Wanyan Zongpan smiled so much that his face almost turned into a flower every day.He sent a letter of impeachment to the rear every day, so that even the generals of the Eastern Route Army at the front knew that the commander of the West Route Army, the most prestigious prime minister of Dajin, had lived at the foot of a hill in Hedong for more than three months.After using Yan Zongpan's original words, the hen has been nesting in the hole for so long, and it is time to hatch a cub by now.

However, the most elite army of the Fifty Thousand Gold Kingdom did not achieve any results, and the battle line did not advance one meter.

Nianhan completely became the laughing stock of the upper echelons of the Jin Dynasty, and was called the Prime Minister of the Vulture Pheasant. (It is the Prime Minister of the hen who is naked and unable to hatch eggs.)
In fact, this situation has nothing to do with the abilities of Han Shizhong and Nianhan.

The reason why there were three consecutive wars between Hebei and Hedong battlefields, and there was such a big gap in each battle, was entirely because of the huge difference in terrain between the two places.

The battlefield in Hebei is a plain for thousands of miles, which is suitable for large armies to maneuver freely and horizontally, and is the best stage for famous generals.

And Hedong is the mountains and rivers inside and outside, controlling and leading China.

His terrain was doomed. The Golden Army's iron cavalry could not launch a large-scale group charge, and infantry had to be used to compete for key nodes one after another.

The battle of Taiyuan, the most glorious battle of the Jin army, the reason why Wanyan Loushi was able to defeat the Song army all the way, apart from the Song army’s forbidden army pulling the hips, the most important thing is that Taiyuan or Jinyang is located in the Jinzhong Basin, which is the east of the river. One of the few places suitable for the golden cavalry to play to its fullest.

Emperor Qinzong, the supreme commander of the Song army, had no military knowledge. He commanded the Song army all the way into the Taiyuan Basin to deliver the heads of the Jin army.

But when Zhao Huan replaced Song Qinzong and delegated the command of the war to the front-line professional generals, the gap between the Song army and the Jin army immediately became less disparate than before.

As for the Jin army being dragged to Mount Hujia to death, it was because Han Shizhong, the commander of the Song army and the commander of the Jingsai army, happened to be a famous general in the world.

Both the Song and Jin armies knew that the war would not go on like this.

When the Jin army was exhausted at the foot of Hujia Mountain, the main force of Song and Jin, who had been fighting hard in the south, would definitely launch a surprise attack.

At the end of September, Nianhan began to arrange the defensive line backwards rhythmically, defending in stages, so as to prevent the main force from gathering under a small hill on the front line and being completely defeated by a surprise attack by the Song army.

This also means that the offensive and defensive situation on the Hedong battlefield is gradually out of place.The balance of war is gradually tilting towards the Song Army, and the Jingsai Army is about to take over the strategic initiative.

At the same time, the most elite Shenwu Youjun in the Song Dynasty had also entered the Yanyun area from Zhuomakoupu in the direction of Zhendingfu, which was the Youzhou area in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

It is impossible to completely hide the actions of the [-] troops.

The mighty scale of the Shenwu Right Army was immediately known to the enemy and our soldiers and civilians in Yanyun and Yunzhou.

The officials of the Kingdom of Jin were startled three times a day. A large number of officials packed up the looted supplies without waiting for the Shenwu Youjun to arrive, and voluntarily abandoned the city.

A large number of defenders stationed in various important places abandoned the city and fled, retreating hundreds of miles.Abandoned war horses and camels scattered in the wild in groups.

The Jin messenger was shocked three times a day, and bad news poured into Daxing Mansion from all directions.

Jin Guo finally tasted the evil result of his rapid expansion and blind expansion.

They raised troops from Baishan and Heishui, and defeated the Liao Kingdom in just a few years, but they didn't digest it, and went south to invade Song Dynasty again.

And three consecutive large-scale use of troops, often involving more than [-] people.

This made his rule extremely unpopular in Youzhou.

The warriors of the Jurchen tribe are still outstanding in fighting, but their internal politics are very rough when they presumptuously rule such a large territory.

And the officials of other clans, who had just joined, were alienated from Jin Guo.

Therefore, once their military deterrence loses its effect, it will immediately lead to the collapse of Jin Kingdom's rule.In the territory of Youzhou, the Hulu fled in an empty mountain, and the range of thousands of miles was full of abandoned soil.

Yue Fei's army entered Yanyun and did not cover up his whereabouts. The Shenwu Youjun must let Jin Guo know that the Song army has entered Yanyun.

Therefore, on October [-]th, Shenwu Youjun entered Yanyun, and on the [-]th, they launched a fierce offensive against Yizhou City.

Yizhou once belonged to the Song Dynasty briefly after the Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty. This is the state closest to the Song Dynasty among the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Jin Guo also set up a defensive army here.The Jin Army is the founding division of the country, and the corruption and vacancy in the army are not serious.

A recruiting department was also set up in Yizhou city.

Just like Yelu Huaiyi, a famous Khitan general, served as the recruiter of the Southwest Road, Yizhou's recruitment department is also in charge of the general of the surrendered army.

The Jurchen generals were in charge of the Dutongsi in Zhuozhou and Daxing Prefecture in the farther north, intimidating and commanding the troops of other tribes in the south to fight.

But even with so many systems in place, it has little meaning at this moment when people's hearts are scattered.

The Shenwu right army stormed the city for only one day, and the Khitan army in Yizhou City was the first to flee.They are iron cavalry, they can evacuate quickly, and they have no idea of ​​fighting to the death for the Jurchens.

When the Song army first arrived, the soldiers were very strong, and they did not stop their troops under the fortified city at all. The army invaded the city at nightfall.

Yang Zaixing, the world's top fierce general, went up to attack the city first. He was fierce and brave, and killed countless people like hemp, making countless Jin troops frightened.

Even the Jurchens guarding the city had never seen so many fierce generals. The number of fierce men in the Song Army seemed to be innumerable. Every battlefield could see those brave generals who won the three armies.

When the Shenwu Youjun invaded Yizhou City, there was no suspense.This city is not considered rich and prosperous, with a limited population, and the rule of the Jin army is also unpopular, and street fighting cannot be organized at all.

Yizhou City, announced a change of ownership immediately after World War I!

This made Jin's defenders in Yanyun even more shocked by the combat power of the Song army. All armies gathered in Zhuozhou one after another, and they did not dare to rush south at all.
