Of course, the infantry could not compare with the high-speed running of the cavalry, and half a day later, when Yue Fei led the army back to Bianliang, Tokyo, he learned that Du Chong had abandoned Bianliang and fled south, and Bianliang had been occupied by the Jin soldiers.

This news made Yue Fei like five thunderbolts, he couldn't believe it, there were still 5,000 troops in the city, and the mobilized people would quickly get tens of thousands of people to help, no matter what, they could hold on until they rushed back, but he didn't expect Du Chong to be frightened by thousands of cavalry, Yue Fei was really uncomfortable in his heart.

He stared at Bianliang City, miles away, and was silent for a long time.

"General, what are we going to do?" Adjutant General Xu Qing asked in a low voice.

"We can't just give Bianliang to Jin Bing, we have to take it back!"

"But the main force of the Jin soldiers is not far from us, so I'm afraid it's too late."

Yue Fei bit his lip tightly and said, "No matter what, we'll give it a try!" ”

"Since the general has decided, let's do it!"

Yue Fei turned around and walked to the high place, he raised his hand, all the soldiers quieted down, a pair of eyes looked at Yue Fei, Yue Fei, who looked extremely resolute, said loudly to everyone: "Brothers, Du Liushou escaped from the battle and gave Bianliang to Jin Bing, but we must not accept this result, we must take Bianliang back, even if we pay for our lives, we will not back down!" ”

The soldiers were infected by the steadfastness of the commander, and they became excited, and shouted together: "Never back down!" ”

A consensus was reached, the soldiers began to act, the first is to take the wooden ladder, this is more difficult, Bianjing is surrounded by the Song army strong wall clear, thirty miles can not see a big tree, but there is a way, that is, the abandoned dwellings in the outer city are demolished, take the house beams and other wood to make a simple siege ladder, two hours later, 20,000 Song troops caused nearly 100 simple siege ladders, barely can be used to siege the city.

Yue Fei looked at the banner of the Jin Kingdom raised at the head of the city, his heart seemed to be dripping blood, he pulled out his war knife and roared, "Brothers, take Bianliang City back!" ”

20,000 soldiers let out a shout, they were divided into two ways, carrying improvised siege ladders like a tide to the north and east of the city, but they were greeted by hundreds of earth-shaking thunder thrown by the golden soldiers from the city, Du Chong was deeply guilty, he did not order to pull out the fire rope of the earth-shaking thunder when he abandoned the city in a panic and fled south, leaving nearly a thousand earth-shaking thunderbolts for the golden soldiers, which became a sharp weapon for the golden soldiers to defend the city.

..........

Wanyan Zongbi led an army of 100,000 to Bianjing City, led by 30,000 Jurchen iron horsemen, fierce horses rushed like the tide of the sea, galloping on the vast land of the Central Plains, 30,000 cavalry washed everything, trampled on everything, invincible everything, snow foam and dust mixed together, covering the sky and the sun.

The 100,000 army has already killed Fengqiu County, but the speed of the 30,000 iron cavalry is faster, and it is less than 50 miles away from Bianliang City in Tokyo, and it is continuing to rush south.

Yue Fei left a team of scouts to monitor the main force of the northern Jin soldiers in the area of Chenqiao Town, this team of scouts consisted of twenty cavalry, several cavalrymen were gathering together to talk about the battle situation, at this time, they suddenly felt that the earth began to tremble, everyone's faces changed, and they stood up one after another, this is a feeling they are very familiar with, only a large number of cavalry rushing at a high speed will have this kind of vibration.

"Come and see! What is that? ”

There were soldiers shouting on the hillside in the distance, everyone hurriedly turned over their horses, and ran towards the hillside in the distance, they rushed up the hillside, everyone's faces suddenly changed greatly, only to see a black line in the distance appeared more than ten miles away, and was rushing towards this side, this black line was at least ten miles wide, and the number of cavalry was tens of thousands.

"Let's go!"

The leader of the scouts shouted, and the twenty cavalrymen immediately turned their horses and galloped towards Bianliang City........

The sound of explosions outside the city of Bianliang continued, 20,000 Song troops desperately attacked the city, although there were only more than 4,000 gold soldiers in the city, but due to the serious lack of siege ladders of the Song army, and could not form a multi-point attack, coupled with the use of a large number of golden soldiers to shake the sky, the Song army suffered heavy casualties, and the siege ladder was also blown up nearly half.

Yue Fei continued to command the soldiers to attack the city, at this time he was also anxious, in terms of time, the main force of the Jin soldiers was about to be killed, but Bianliang City was never attacked, the most anxious thing for Yue Fei was that most of the simplified siege ladders they made had been destroyed, and there were less than thirty left, and the hope of attacking the city was passing little by little.

"General Qiyu, the sneak attack on Nancheng failed, and General Liu unfortunately died!" A soldier ran over and reported to Yue Fei in deep grief.

Yue Fei's heart seemed to have fallen into a cold cave, and his last hope was that Liu Xi, the commander, could lead three hundred people to attack Nancheng successfully, but he didn't expect to fail.

"Why?" Yue Fei asked bitterly.

The soldier sighed and said: "We want to climb the rope to go to the city, but the other party has already prepared, when we are about to go to the city, they suddenly cut the rope, more than a dozen ropes broke at the same time, all the brothers fell into the city, and Commander Liu also unfortunately fell to his death. ”

"Are the other brothers back?"

The soldier nodded silently, "Everyone's back." ”

At this moment, a series of explosions came from the edge of the north city, and the explosion sound was deafening, only to see more than a dozen siege ladders being blown to pieces, and the Song soldiers on the siege ladders screamed and fell into the city.

"General, there is urgent information!"

There were soldiers shouting behind him, and when Yue Fei turned around, he saw a team of scouts he had sent rushing towards this side, waving his hands and shouting as he ran: "The main force of the enemy army is coming!" ”

They rushed to the front of them for a moment, and Yue Fei stepped forward and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"General Qiyu, 30,000 cavalry of the golden soldiers have been killed, and it is only twenty miles away from here at most, please make a decision quickly!"

Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Bianliang City, his eyes were extremely painful, his teeth bit out his lips and blood, he was helpless, he had to order in pain: "Pass my order, everyone evacuate to the east immediately!" ”

Yue Fei's army had already suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and the remaining 15,000 people were finally unable to recapture Bianliang City, and were forced to quickly withdraw eastward and withdraw from the battlefield.

Half an hour later, Wanyan Zongbi led 30,000 iron cavalry to Bianliang, Wanyan Zongbi did not chase Yue Fei's army, but held a huge ceremony to enter the city, which means that the Song army held on to Bianliang City for nearly two years was finally conquered by the Jin soldiers.

........

The loss of Bianliang City became a turning point in the Central Plains Campaign, Wanyan Zonghan led 80,000 Jin soldiers to attack from the north to the south, and Wanyan Zongbi led 100,000 troops to advance from the west to the east.

At this time, Zongze's attack on Shanzhou was unfavorable, and the 10,000 troops led by Chen Quan encountered an ambush of 20,000 cavalry led by Wanyan Zonghan himself in the east of Shanzhou Shan County, and the Song army was defeated by the Jin cavalry, almost all of which were annihilated, and the main general Chen Quan fled back to Xuzhou with less than 1,000 people.

The fiasco of Shanzhou and the loss of Bianliang made Zong Ze realize that the battle situation was increasingly unfavorable to the Song army, and in order to save his troops and not be completely annihilated by the Jin soldiers, Zong Ze had to make a painful decision to abandon the Jingdong and two roads, retreat south to Chuzhou, and fight against the Jin soldiers on the front line of Chuzhou.

In just 10 days, more than 100,000 Jin soldiers swept through the entire Central Plains and Shandong, including Xuzhou, Haizhou, Shanzhou, Yingtianfu, and Guide on the Jingxi Road, and Caizhou, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, Yingchangfu, Ruzhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou, and dozens of other state capitals on the Jingbei Road all fell into the hands of the Jin soldiers.

For a time, the Lin'an court was shaken, and the call for accountability for the defeat resounded throughout the government and the opposition.

That night, Huang Qianshan, the waiter under the door, was reading a book in the study, and at this time, there was a housekeeper outside the door to report, "Master, there is a person outside the mansion, it seems to be the son of Du Chong, saying that he has something important to ask to see the master!" ”

Huang Qianshan put down the book and thought about it, then said with a smile: "Take him to the outer study for a while, I'll change my clothes and come!" ”

Needless to say, Huang Qianshan can also guess why Du Chong came, Du Chong lost Bianliang City, which made the government and the opposition angry, it must be Du Chong who asked his son to come through his back door and intercede for him, it is not impossible to intercede for Du Chong, it depends on what sincerity Du Chong can show.

Huang Qianshan changed his clothes and came to the outer study, the person who was anxiously waiting in the room was Du Chong's eldest son Du Hao, he saw Huang Qianshan walk into the study, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed to worship, "I implore Uncle Shi to save my father no matter what!" ”
