Golden autumn in August.

The weather in the Northeast has cooled down.

The cotton armor on the Chinese soldiers can no longer make them feel hot, and this is the most suitable period for the Chinese soldiers to fight.

But

The weather in the north at this time can change as it is said, and it may not necessarily cool down overnight.

Therefore, as soon as Li Yan decided to continue fighting, Xu Guanzhong and Liu did not dare to delay at all, and ordered Yue Fei, Wu, Han Shizhong, Yang Yi and others at the first time: continue to fight!

This side of Shangjing.

Wu was the marshal of the capital and Han Shizhong was the deputy marshal of the capital, and after receiving the order from Xu Guanzhong and Liu to continue the offensive, he immediately ordered the Eastern Route Army, which had been divided into three routes (all the way with Wu as the commander, all the way with Guo Hao as the commander, and all the way with Li Yanxian as the commander) to continue to attack Shangjing.

(This Shangjing is not Liaoshangjing (the southeast suburb of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Bahrain Left Banner in later generations), that is, it is not Dajin's Nanjing Linhengfu, but Jin Shangjing (later Acheng District, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province), Liaoshangjing has been attacked and defeated by Li Yanxian two months ago, and now it is Dazhong Beijing, just wait for it to be repaired, Li Yan will move there.) ）

Wu, Guo Hao, and Li Yanxian all know that time is tight and the task is heavy.

Therefore, they did not dare to keep it at all, and in just three days, the vanguard of Wu Na all the way to the upper capital city

Wanyan Wushu took advantage of the Chinese army's foothold to stabilize and sent elite cavalry to fight, he wanted to frustrate the spirit of the Chinese army first, and cheer up for the subsequent defense of the city.

But Wu's vanguard Zhang Xian, although there were less than 10,000 people, still set up a position to fight with the elite of the Jin army.

As a result, the elite of the dignified Jin army was defeated by Zhang Xian's musketeers and fled.

Faced with this situation, Wanyan Wushu mourned, he knew that there was a gap between their Dajin warriors and the Chinese army, but if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the gap between the two would be so big.

At the same time, Wanyan Wushu also knew that it was impossible to defeat the Chinese army by relying on the invincible cavalry and archery of their steppe warriors before, and if they wanted to prevent the Chinese army and get through this difficulty, they had to stick to the city.

It's really a joke, the Jin people who used to like field battles the most didn't dare to fight in the field, but learned from the Han people to defend the city, and the Han people who had always defended the city in the past, but now they can't wait to fight with the Jin people, and finally the battle is a battle to decide the winner, and the two sides have completely turned over.

In less than five days, Guo Hao and Li Yanxian also arrived in Shangjing.

Time is tight, and the task is heavy!

As soon as Wu, Guo Hao, and Li Yanxian discussed, they didn't wait for Wu and Han Shizhong, and launched a fierce attack by Wu that night.

Jin Shangjing is the capital of the Jin Dynasty, so the Jin people have no way to retreat If you leave Jin Shangjing and go north, you will arrive at the real bitter cold land, where the living environment is too poor, the key is that they just flee there, and the Chinese army will definitely bite them, so, the bottom line of Dajin is the northeast region and the Monan region ruled by the original Liao Dynasty, which is the land of Longxing of the Jin Dynasty, including the residence of the Jurchen tribes, as well as the Khitan, Xi, Bohai and the Five Kingdoms, Jili Mi, Wu Di Gai and other ethnic groups, yes, I have to add some Mongols who were driven here by the Chinese army, here, they can't let them die!

The key is that as long as you persist for a while, the sky will be cold, and for the Jin people who grew up in the bitter cold land, once that climate comes, it will be tantamount to adding a million troops to them.

Therefore, the Jin people resisted desperately.

One side has issued a death order, and it must be captured!

The other side is sworn to defend its capital and its homeland!

Therefore, this battle was fought quite tragically, and the pace was very fast, and both sides were completely piling up human lives!

When Wu and Han Shizhong arrived at Shangjing, there were already mountains of corpses around Shangjing, and this was only the casualties of the Chinese army, because the weapons of the Chinese army were sharp, and the Jin people defending the city actually suffered more casualties, even several times that of the Chinese army.

……

Western Route Army.

Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong also divided their troops into three routes, with Zhang Xian, Wang Yan, and Wang De as the commanders respectively.

After getting the orders of Xu Guanzhong and Liu, the three-way army of the Western Route Army immediately went straight to the River of Trouble like three sharp swords!

Originating in the eastern foothills of the Lesser Kent Mountains in Mongolia and converging with the Yinguoda River to form the Shilka River, one of the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, this is the birthplace of the Mongolian nation, and if history does not change, Temujin is located here.

Like the Jin, the Mongols had no way to retreat, and further north, Siberia, where the environment was extremely harsh.

Siberia is the cradle of many powerful peoples, such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Tatar, Mongol and Jurchen, and other ethnic groups that actually rose from Siberia.

But none of these peoples wanted to return to Siberia after they left Siberia.

Why is that?

At this time, Siberia was a muddy swampy land, and the Mongols named it "Sipol" (muddy, muddy place).

(Siberia at this time also had a beautiful name, "Land of Tranquility.") ）

What made the Mongols even more reluctant to return to Siberia was that Siberia was extremely cold at this time, and in winter, some areas would even be as cold as minus 60 or 70 degrees, which really froze to death.

In addition, like the Jin, the Mongols also knew that as long as they held out for a little longer, they would be able to survive until winter, and at that time, it would be time for them to fight back.

But

Unlike the Jin, who had a city to defend, the Mongols were nomadic and they had no city, only tents.

So what to do?

After discussing with the Great Khans, Hebul finally decided to use the greatest advantage of the Mongols, that is, good mobility, to adopt guerrilla tactics (that is, guerrilla warfare) to delay the advance of the Chinese army, and to waste time with the Chinese army, wanting to drag out the battle until winter and then counterattack.

But that's just wishful thinking.

It took Yue Fei four years, first from Dazhong to Mobei, and then from Mobei to the west of the Tianshan Mountains, and along the way, he actually dealt with the grassland tribes, and he knew too well how to deal with the grassland tribes.

Therefore, in the face of He Bule's guerrilla tactics, Yue Fei was not moved at all, and at the same time secretly ordered Zhang Xian, Wang Yan and Wang De to send 30,000 elite cavalry to go straight to the Mongol pasture under the leadership of the Mongols who had surrendered, and then Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong personally pressed the formation, and the army of two or three hundred thousand advanced unhurriedly towards the Troubled River.

Seeing that the guerrilla tactics were useless against the Chinese army, the army led by Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong was getting closer and closer, so why not send the elite to fight the Chinese army a few times.

One might ask, why didn't he lead the Mongols out of the Troubled River region and lure the Chinese army into Siberia, so that when winter came, all the hundreds of thousands of horses of the Chinese army would be lost here.

Come on!

Do you really think that nomads can swim anywhere?

Now that the Chinese army has blocked the east, west and south, the Mongols can only flee to Siberia in the north if they want to escape.

Now Siberia is extremely cold, and many areas do not even have grass, so they cannot support too many cattle and sheep.

Therefore, if the Mongols abandon the steppe of the Troubled River and go north, maybe the Chinese army will not have to make a move, and the Mongols will not be left with one out of ten.

Therefore, this steppe of the Troubled River is the bottom line of the Mongols, and they can't afford to abandon it!
