Although he knew that the Jin army was retreating to Shangjing, Wu Ting, as the commander-in-chief, did not plan to pursue the Jin army.

Because Wu Ting felt that if Jin Jun honestly returned to Shangjing, it might not be a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty. The primary and initial purpose of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty this time was only to recover all the lost territory, and the boundary was the former Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

As for whether or not he can completely eliminate the Jin Kingdom, it is not in the first place, with Wu Ting's sophisticated temperament that is used to fighting steadily with Weng Zha, he will naturally not be as full of tricks as Ye Yu, but this is also where Ye Yu admires Wu Ting very much.

A war to destroy the country is not full of strange tricks but steady and steady, because the bulldozer-like advance is far more than the strange tricks of digging holes in a chaotic manner, which can affect the stable rule in the future.

Therefore, Wu Ting is not interested in the Shangjing (Harbin) area for the time being, and in his opinion, the top priority of the Song army is to occupy the central capital as soon as possible, so as to lay a good foundation for the future war of exterminating Jin.

It was based on these considerations that Ye Yu decided not to consider pursuing the Jin army, or to attack Zhongdu as originally planned.

Wu Ting waited for the three armies to gather in the central capital, and immediately ordered the Song army to attack.

As soon as this battle started, it was somewhat unexpected by Wu Ting, who thought that the war had reached this point, and even the main force had withdrawn, and the fighting spirit of the Jin army should be greatly reduced.

However, the Jin army left behind in Zhongdu was different, everyone was brave, one by one, waving the weapons in their hands, desperately attacking the Song army.

Although the Jin army was far less numerous than the Song army, it completely overwhelmed the Song army in terms of momentum and soldiers for a period of time at the beginning of the battle.

In fact, the counterattack of the Jin army can no longer be described as brave, but desperate, even crazy. Because the Jin army that stayed behind almost all had the determination to die.

Under the corner of death, the only opportunity left is to fight hard, and they have no choice.

As the most important imperial capital of the Jin State, the army left behind was naturally the pro-guard army of the imperial family, and everyone could escape from the battle, but they could only fight to the death to defend the dignity of the Jurchen clan.

The Song army was obviously not prepared enough for this, and was beaten back again and again by the Jin army at the beginning.

Fortunately, today's Song army is well-trained and experienced in a hundred battles, although it retreats but is not chaotic, although it is at a disadvantage, it still maintains a complete formation, and there is no weakness in the slightest fear.

Although Wu Ting was surprised by the combat strength of the Jin army left behind in Zhongdu, he didn't care very much.

Wu Ting, who has been in battle for a long time, knows very well that this is just a return to the glory of the Jin army. Although the Jin army's attack looked crazy, it was actually nothing more than the last dying struggle of defeat, which came and went as fast as the tide, as if the tide could not last.

Therefore, as long as you resist the Jin army's start of attack and maintain your own formation to prevent the Jin army from being beaten, when this sharp energy is exhausted, the Jin army will immediately collapse.

The momentary success or failure is not important, as long as it can be done in the macro situation, it is a commendable victory, so Wu Ting commanded the Song army to fight and retreat.

No matter how fierce the Jin soldiers' attack was, how crazy the sprint was, and even the way of fighting that ended up in the same end, regardless of life and death, Wu Ting always ordered the three armies to adhere to their respective formations.

Even if it is partially disrupted by the Jin army, it immediately retreats quickly, pulls away from the Jin army, and then quickly adjusts. In the continuous retreat, little by little, the sharpness of the golden soldiers was consumed.

Wu Ting didn't want the Song army to have too many casualties, since he could wipe out the Jin army without losing the lives of the Song army, what was the harm in retreating for a while?

The Song army fled from being frightened of the Jin army back then, to Ye Yu's bloody and sacrificing life to entangle the enemy army, and today it can advance and retreat in a measured manner without losing momentum, this is a transformation of freedom and self-confidence.

In three stages, a metamorphosis of the Song army's combat power has been completed!

The battle lasted for almost half an hour, and the Song army retreated a distance of three miles, and the sharp spirit of the Jin soldiers was like a return to the light, and it was basically exhausted at this moment.

As a result of the previous desperate onslaught, the golden soldiers fought on their own, and as a result, the formation was completely scattered, and the positions of the infantry, cavalry, archers, rattan players, and pikemen were all thrown into disarray, and each golden soldier was only concerned with rushing forward and killing fiercely, forgetting everything else.

Seeing this, Wu Ting knew that the time for a counterattack had come, and as the horn behind the Song army sounded.

The Song army all stopped retreating, and the steely military phalanx was like an insurmountable chasm, no matter how fierce the Jin army was, the Song army would no longer take a step back.

At the same time, the formation of the middle of the Song army suddenly divided left and right, and I saw the black horse Golden Hammer leading 3,000 cavalry from the Song army's formation.

Baotian double hammer wheel open, mighty steel casting, vigorous and vigorous, the place where it can be said to be next to death, hit and die, hundreds of pounds of urn golden hammer Jin Feng Ling no one can stop, only hit the head of the golden soldier bloody, have to the ground to die.

The 3,000 cavalry led by Bao Tian, like a sharp vertebrae, plunged into the Jin army's formation at once, and immediately killed the Jin army into chaos.

Subsequently, the Song army also launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Jin army, although the Jin army was still resisting to the death, but at this time the Jin army's spirit was exhausted, the formation was chaotic, and in the face of the Song army's counterattack, it was impossible to carry out organized resistance with Ben, and could only rely on personal swords to fight to the death.

However, on the battlefield, it is not possible to win by relying only on hard work, and this kind of straggler-style combat style cannot be matched with the overall combat with formation, organization, and coordination.

Therefore, the counterattack of the Song army only lasted only one pillar of incense, and the Jin army was completely defeated and collapsed.

With the order of the object, the Song army immediately dispersed into more than a dozen squads to watch and pursue, divide, encircle, encircle and annihilate the defeated Jin army.

This tactic has existed since ancient times, but it is also a little useless for Wu Ting at the moment, because Wu Ting asked the soldiers of the three armies, especially the cavalry phalanx, to strictly imitate the encirclement and annihilation techniques of Ye Yu's personal guards and Zhanyun cavalry.

It's cruel, but it's terrifying!

Everything was carried out in an orderly manner and without any chaos, and at the same time it also showed the good quality of the Song army.

The battle lasted only a little more than an hour, and as a result, the Jin army was defeated, 30,000 were killed by the Song army, nearly 4,000 were captured, and less than 20,000 were defeated and returned to the central capital.

Immediately afterwards, forty artillery pieces were lined up outside the middle capital, aiming at the middle capital city is a round of heavy bombardment, and the artillery is a sharp weapon for siege and defense, and the result is always known.

Therefore, at dusk that day, the middle capital was broken!
