One Piece of Song Dynasty

After reading the letter, Wanyan Yuying said first: "Commander, I think Marshal Wushu is right in his letter. Our army currently urgently needs to defeat the Song army's offensive in Taiyuan in order to reverse the decline of our army." Wanyan Yuying's real name is Tarlan. , is the son of Wanyan Yinshuke, the famous general of the Jin Dynasty. When he was young, he was smart, alert, ambitious and courageous. When he tied his hair into two corners, Jin Taizu Aguda saw him and was surprised by his agility. When he was sixteen years old, his father Yin Shuke gave him armor and asked him to follow him in attacking the Liao Kingdom. He was often ordered to be a vanguard, and the emperor granted him the hereditary conquest. Wanyan Xiyin nodded and said: "This commander understands that what we are talking about now is what to do with Yan Yun. These letters were sent almost half a month ago, which means that the Song Army may have crossed the Yellow River and is heading towards the two rivers. Advance, originally I predicted that the Song army that captured Yanyun would only have defensive power but no offensive power. Now once the Song army in the south regains Hebei, the Song army that invaded Yanjing will be supported. If we lead the army at this time to Hedong, what if Yanyun's Song Army takes the initiative to attack? The Yanyun Song Army with support can completely leave Zijingguan and fly to Feihu Lingqiu to threaten Datong, or leave Juyongguan and attack Xuande Mansion in Fengsheng Prefecture to threaten Datong." Wanyan said. Baoda asked: "Then according to father's wishes, how should our army fight?" Wanyan Baoda was the eldest son of Wanyan Xiyin, and was now named General Zhaowu. Wanyan Xiyin said: "What I mean is to divide the troops into two groups. Yuying, I will give you troops to guard Huailai and Feihu. These two places are the only places to pass after leaving Juyong Pass and Zijin Pass. Guard these two places." The two places will be able to block the westward advance of the Yanjing Song Army, and the remaining troops will be personally led by this commander to reinforce Taiyuan." Wanyan Yuying saluted and said: "Yes, the general understands." Then Wanyan Xiyin wrote to Jin Xizong again. He wrote a letter in which he suggested that Jin Xizong urgently recruit another troops, of which troops would be deployed on the Datong line, and troops would be deployed on the Gubeikou, Songting Pass, and Yuguan lines to prevent the Song army from launching an attack on the hinterland of Dajin. , another were deployed on the second line, ready to support the front line. At the same time, it was recommended that Jin Xizong immediately send an envoy to the Song Dynasty to seek peace, and strengthen domestic control, especially the control of Khitan Rao. Such a disastrous defeat for the Jin Kingdom would inevitably affect the Jin Dynasty. Without the stability of the Ministry, the Khitans may be ready to take action when they see the decline of the Jurchens. After writing the letter, Wanyan Xiyin also sent people to send the letters from Jin Wushu and others to Jin Xizong at high speed. After sending the letter, Wanyan Xiyin immediately arranged for the army to retreat. Wang Gui, who was guarding Juyong Pass, soon discovered Jin Rao's retreat. He didn't know the reason for the Jin Rao's retreat, and was afraid that the Jin Rao's retreat was to lure him to take the initiative. After leaving the customs, Wang Gui just sent the news of the Jin's retreat back to Yanjing. On August , the weather was fine. After breakfast, Jin Wushu led a formation outside the Song Army camp. The Song Army camp was also heavily guarded. The crossbowmen had already drawn their crossbows and were ready to shoot at any time. , the tiger crouching gunner has also adjusted the muzzle and is waiting for the golden soldiers to arrive. Wang Yan paced nervously in the camp, looking out from time to time. Zhang Xia and Dong Xian came in to report: "General Wang, everything is ready." Wang Yan nodded and said: "Okay, the rest depends on Jin Wushu What's going on? As long as we hold the camp for half a day, the commander's reinforcements will arrive." Looking at the motionless Song Army camp, Jin Wushu made a gesture, and cavalry began to move forward to surround the Song Army camp. Turn, firing rockets while turning, and at the same time, the catapult also threw flint towards the Song army camp. Looking at the rockets and flints flying from the ground, Wang Yan said bitterly: "Jin Wushu wants to use fire to force us out. The two generals immediately ordered the crossbowmen to counterattack the enemy cavalry, and the artillery aimed at the enemy to throw stones." Shooting vehicles, and be careful not to ignite the food and grass in the camp." The two clasped their fists and said, "Yes, let's do it now." Bows and arrows from both sides came back and forth. Although the Song Army's crossbowmen fought back hard, the effect was not That's good. After all, the Jin Army's cavalry is always on the move. It's not easy to shoot at a moving enemy. So despite the lively shooting of the Song Army, not many Jin Army cavalry were actually shot. As more and more rockets were fired into the camp, some of the tents began to catch fire. However, the Song Army put out the fire in time, and not many actually burned. The two sides continued to fight for half an hour, and the situation was deadlocked. The number of burned tents in the Song army's camp was also slowly increasing. Seeing this, Jin Wushu sent a signal flare to Sa Lihe in Taiyuan City, and asked him to send five thousand cavalry to join the battle. , try to crush the Song army. At this time, Li Shifu's Yue Yun tribe, who was behind the Jin army, had slowly advanced to ten miles away from the Jin army. The scouts sent out reported: "Two generals, the battle ahead is continuing. The Jin army sent out most of its cavalry. There was no more movement, but the Jin army continued to fire rockets and flints at our barracks, which caused serious damage to our barracks." Yue Yun said: "Uncle, we can't wait any longer, our army's losses will only get worse if we wait any longer. We won't be able to explain to Commander Qu at that time." Li Shifu sighed: "Originally we wanted to wait until Jin Wushu sent out all the remaining cavalry before we took action, but it seems we can't wait any longer. Yue Yun ordered the entire army to attack. Let's go." Following Li Shifu's order, the Song Army's cavalry began to launch. The noise from the front battlefield covered up the sound of the Song Army's cavalry's hooves. However, as the Song Army's cavalry got closer and closer to the Jin Army, the rumble came from behind. The sound of horse hooves still attracted Jin Jun's attention. When Jin Wushu noticed the Song Army cavalry attacking from behind, the Song Army cavalry was only one kilometer away from the Jin Army. After discovering the Song Army cavalry, Jin Wushu was frightened and immediately ordered: "Han Chang, you lead five thousand The cavalry comes forward to block the attack of the Song Army's cavalry. Saili, you go and withdraw the cavalry that besieged the Song Army's camp, and then support Han Chang to repel the Song Army's cavalry before retreating into Taiyuan City. The others will alternately cover the retreat to Taiyuan City." Han Chang said. Following Wanyan Zongxian's command, the cavalry from both sides collided quickly, but in the end the Song cavalry had the absolute advantage in numbers. A part of the Song cavalry quickly broke through the interception of the Jin cavalry and rushed towards the Jin's infantry. Jin Wushu ordered alternating cover. At first, the infantry could maintain their formation and retreat. However, when the Song Army's cavalry ran into the infantry, the Jin Army's infantry suddenly became chaotic. Everyone was scrambling towards Taiyuan City. Jin Wushu tried his best to maintain order but was unable to maintain order. He even killed a few soldiers to no avail, so he had to be carried away towards Taiyuan City. The Jin Army cavalry that was besieging the Song Army's camp there, under the command of Wanyan Zongxian, gathered together to support Han Chang, and at the same time launched an attack on the Song Army's cavalry attacking the infantry.
