Chapter 491: Eastern Route Army

The thousands of golden soldiers led by Wanyan Yanying were in chaos!

Some of the golden soldiers were still rushing forward, while others had turned their horses and fled behind.

Wanyan Yanying sat on the horse in a daze, and let out a wry smile for a long time.

"I was going to lead the army north to Yuzhou, but I didn't expect that I still didn't escape! The number of soldiers and horses used by the Han people this time is too much, and there are ambushes everywhere! ”

"Is my Dajin Kingdom about to perish?"

"In the past 20 years, my Jurchen people have fought in the south and the north, and have won thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! But since the invasion of the Central Plains, it has only been more than seven years, and we are facing annihilation! My Jurchen's combat strength is better than that of the Khitans, and it is also better than the previous Han people, but our background is too poor, our Jurchen only has a population of less than a million, and the population of the Han people is a hundred times that of ours! We Jurchens are not good at building, they can only plunder, once we can't grab things, we can't even live, and the reason why Liaodong is in chaos now is not because there is no food? If we had stopped our pace and stopped going south after the Liao Kingdom was conquered, everything would not have been the way it is now! ”

Wanyan Yanying let out a long sigh and said secretly.

"General, the Han people are about to be killed, why don't you leave?" At this moment, a centurion fled back from the front, and said.

"Let's go? Where to go? Wan Yan Yanying said.

"Of course I escaped, find a way to get out of here!" Centurion said.

"Run? If it was twenty years ago or even ten years ago, whoever dared to say this word of escape would definitely die! But now, my Jurchen sons are used to escaping! When did the Jurchens become like this? The Jurchens were originally heroic, but now they are not even as good as the Han people! When my father was alive, he told me that I wanted to be a true Jurchen warrior, and I can't let my father down today! Wan Yan Yanying muttered.

"General, aren't you leaving?" The centurion said anxiously.

Wanyan Yanying didn't answer again, he rode his horse forward and rushed in the direction of the Song army on the opposite side!

"General!" The centurion had an expression of disbelief on his face! Soon, however, the centurion continued to flee south.

Countless Jin soldiers were fleeing, and Wanyan Yanying was going upstream, and finally he saw the Song army in the distance! The Song army is all cavalry, and it can be seen that all the Song soldiers are strong and strong, and every Song army soldier has an excited expression of killing the enemy in his eyes! With such an excited expression, Wan Yan Yanying has not seen it on the Jurchens for a long time!

"The Han people are rising again! Every time the Han people rise, it is a disaster for the people outside the country, and now this disaster has struck again! Dajin Guo, I want to give you the last strength! Wanyan Yanying gritted her teeth and rushed towards countless Song troops!

He had just broken away from the Jurchen army when dozens of arrows were immediately fired at him.

Wanyan Yanying roared angrily, and the sword in his hand swung forward, and suddenly the arrows in front of him were swept down!

It's just that soon another bow and arrow came from the opposite side, and Wanyan Yanying was finally hit by an arrow in his left arm!

He continued to move forward, and at this moment, dozens of Song soldiers had already rushed over with spears in hand!

Countless spears pierced Wan Yan Yanying's body, Wan Yan Yan Ying laughed, the sword in his hand kept swinging forward, and in a moment, the heads of more than ten spears were cut off!

He originally thought that the Song army would retreat temporarily, but who knew that the Song soldiers threw away their spears and continued to rush over with their swords in their hands!

"The Han people are so tenacious! In just seven years, the Han people have become like this! In the past, we Jurchens were like tigers and wolves, but now the Han people are like tigers and wolves! The number of Han Chinese is so large, if hundreds of millions of Han people are tigers and wolves, what should we do? Wanyan Yanying's heart became more and more desperate.

The cavalry of the Song army surrounded again, and Wanyan Yanying killed a cavalry of the Song army with a sword, he originally thought that he could deter the cavalry of the Song army a little, but who knew that the cavalry of the Song army seemed to be completely enraged! There was a cavalryman of the Song army who rushed towards him regardless of his personal safety! Wan Yan Yanying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly returned to kill this Song cavalryman, and then a spear flashed out from the side, Wan Yan Yanying couldn't resist at all, and was immediately stabbed in the chest!

Wanyan Yanying let out a miserable scream, he fell off his horse, and countless Song troops around him rushed up and chopped him into pulp!

Wanyan Yanying's eyes were still open, with indescribable despair in them! He felt that the current Song army was like the original Jurchens, both in terms of combat strength and fighting will, so similar to the Jurchens who had just started the army back then! Back then, the Jurchens were invincible, and I was afraid that this sentence would be given to the Han people! What he desperates for is not his own fate, but the fate of the entire Jurchen nation!

Xue Yue led 10,000 cavalry to continue to chase and kill those fleeing Jin soldiers to the south, but in less than a quarter of an hour, Li Yanxian had already led the remaining 40,000 cavalry to kill from the south.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and thousands of golden soldiers died on the edge of this big river.

"The whole army rested for two hours, and after two hours the whole army went north! Before September 20th, we must lay down the naturalization, persuade the farmers, and occupy the main road of Luming Mountain! Li Yanxian said while wiping the war knife on his hand.

Naturalization and persuasion of agriculture are all cities once established by the Liao people, located in the south of Zhongjing and northwest of Yuzhou! And Luming Mountain is located in the north of Yuzhou! After conquering these places, they will completely block the road for the Yuzhou resentful army to go north!

It was cold, and the cavalry of the Song army rested on the grass, and they leaned on the war horses, snuggled up with the war horses, and relied on this to keep warm!

Two hours later, the sky was already dark, and at this moment 50,000 cavalry galloped in the northwest direction!

Li Xianzhong and Fu Xuan had already led the army in the direction of Yuzhou at this moment.

******

When the 170,000 troops of the Yanyun Military Region experienced a series of major battles, on the East Road, there were also great battles here!

On September 3, 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Military Region left Shanhaiguan and headed all the way north!

On the afternoon of September 4, 150,000 troops came to Runzhou, a small county north of Shanhaiguan, and only a few thousand new troops were stationed! In less than half an hour, Runzhou was conquered!

On September 6, the army went north to Qianzhou, and in just one hour, Qianzhou was conquered!

On September 9, the army conquered Laizhou!

After that, the 150,000 troops marched north in three ways, and in the middle of the night of September 13, the army surrounded Tanzhou on three sides! Late that night, the drums of war shook the sky, and 150,000 troops attacked Danzhou from all directions! In the early morning of September 14, Tanzhou was conquered! In the city of Tanzhou, countless Jurchen soldiers and civilians were all killed!

Within ten days, the Eastern Route Army conquered the cities of Jin Kingdom one after another, and the sharpness of the soldiers was unstoppable!

After years of military training and years of war in the Central Plains, the Song army has entered its peak! With such combat power, even the Jurchens of the Wanyan Akuda era are difficult to compare! The Jurchen soldiers of that year were also brave, but they lacked the discipline and art of war of the Song army, and the Jurchen talents were scarce. The three-way army of the Song army going north, whether it is Yue Fei, Li Xianzhong, or Liu Qi, are all famous generals, and they can be used as the marshals of a country! Even Wu Jue and Wu Ling of the Navy are also famous generals in history, even surpassing Li Xianzhong, Liu Qi and others! The rest such as Zhang Xian, Fu Xuan, Dong Xian, Yue Yun, Yang Zheng, etc. are all fierce generals who have left their names in the annals of history!

On September 16, the 100,000 troops of the Liaodong Military Region went north to conquer Fushu!

More than 60 miles to the north of Fushu is Lizhou! This is an important goal for the East Route Army to go north set by the General Staff Headquarters at the beginning!

The grassland is incomparably flat, and it is only less than half a day's distance from Fushu to Lizhou!

******

At dusk, the sun sets, and the entire city of Lizhou is shrouded in a bleak light!

At this moment, Lizhou City has received the news that the Song army is heading north!

Lizhou is probably located to the west of the modern Kastingqin Zuoyi County in later generations, and in the Liaojin Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Zhongjing Province! It is an important castle connecting Chukyo and Tokyo, and it has a large population! Among them, there are not only Jurchens, but also Khitans, Hans, Xi people, and countless other ethnic people! At this moment, Lizhou City is already in chaos!

The Khitans, Han people, and Xi people are all hiding in their own homes and dare not come out! In times of war, the safest way is to hide in your own home!

And the countless Jurchens in Lizhou City have already flocked to the City Lord's Mansion, wanting to find a way to resist the Song army!

At this moment, in the city lord's mansion, a Jurchen young man in yellow was pacing in the courtyard, and a Jurchen fat man dressed as a captain was standing beside him!

This Jurchen young man is Wanyan Zongmei, the seventh son of the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai, and was canonized as King Feng!

Wanyan Zongmei's face was full of anxious expressions.

"The Han people sent a large army to attack Fushu, how many troops are there?" Wanyan Zongmei said.

"Your Highness, we haven't gotten any definite news yet, but it's likely to be around 100,000!" The captain next to him said.

"One hundred thousand? How can there be so many? How dare the Han people send such a large army into the north? Don't they know that we have united with the Khitan and the Mongols, and will soon completely destroy the Great Song Dynasty? "Wanyan Zongmei said.

"Your Highness, we are no match for the Han Chinese, and we need to get out of here now." Wanfu said.

"How many more defenders are there?" Wanyan Zongmei said.

"About 6,000 people." Wanfu said.

"Six thousand? That's not a lot! Let all the Jurchens in the city come out to fight! Our Jurchens are invincible, and we will definitely be able to resist the 100,000 Song army! "Wanyan Zongmei said.

"Your Highness, there is a huge difference in strength between us and the Song army, how can 6,000 people be the opponent of a 100,000 army? Now the only way is to get out of here! "Wanfu said.

"No, we can defeat the Song army!" Wanyan Zongmei stubbornly said.

"Your Highness, the 200,000 troops led by the second prince and General Wanyan Lou are not opponents of the Han people, and we only have 6,000 people, how can we resist the Song army?" Wanfu said.

"This ......" Yan Zongmei was stunned.

"Now there's only escape!" Wanfu said.

"If the Han people conquer Lizhou, where will they go? Why did they dare to go north? Wanyan Zongmei still asked in a puzzled, incredulous tone.

"The last general doesn't know! The last general only knows that the Han people are very strong! There are many cities south of Lizhou, but all the Han people have fought down, and we haven't even gotten much news, which proves that the speed of the Han people conquering the city is too fast! Your Highness, the Han people are too strong, and it is very likely that they will go north to attack Zhongjing! "Wanfu said.

"Zhongjing has Wanyan Chang and Wushu in them, and the Han people are by no means opponents!" Wanyan Zongmei said in an unusually affirmative tone.

"This ...... Your Highness, let's go! "Captain Wan really doesn't want to waste time here, so he doesn't say anything to Wanyan Zongmei anymore, in fact, Captain Wan has always felt that the Han people are very strong, especially when he defeated Jin Wushu on the grassland! However, this is not a good time to argue!

Wanyan Zongmei finally nodded!
