At this time, Yue's army had entered Henan. At this time, the Battle of Shunchang had just ended and the Jin army had fully retreated, and Yue Fei took the opportunity to quickly advance his troops and deploy troops in the vast territory of Henan...

Since the leap June 19th, the Yuejia army has spent every day in the battle, every day has military achievements, and every moment has produced legends for future generations. The first war broke out in Yingchang Mansion, about 100 kilometers southwest of Kaifeng City, on the North Road of Beijing, and was initiated by Zhang Xian, the second person in the Yuejia Army and the former commander of the army! Zhang Xian led the army to Yingchang and encountered the Jin army more than 40 miles away from the city...

The Jurchens did not like to fight behind the city walls, and they considered themselves a horseback people, still believing that they would win every battle in the wilderness. What the? Shunchang? It was just an accident, and His Royal Highness the Fourth Crown Prince forgot it in a blink of an eye, just like a series of defeats such as Monk Yuan and Xianren Pass, they all did not exist - he was like this, and his subordinates were also virtuous, like Han Chang.

After Han Chang was subjected to 100 wickers, his whole body was comfortable and his mood was high, and he did not follow the team back to Kaifeng, but stayed in Yingchang, waiting for a new opportunity for meritorious service. As a result, he waited for Zhang Xian! Records show that this was his first confrontation with the Yue family's army. With his personal courage to shoot a three-stone hard bow, the same strength as Yue Fei's personal martial arts, and the courage to be a pioneer in every battle, it is impossible to fear anything, let alone avoid battles...

The two armies fought fiercely in the wilderness, and the first battle was decisive, Zhang Xian wanted not only to defeat which Jin army, he wanted Yingchang City! It was one of the three major towns that the Jin Kingdom used to defend Kaifeng, and it was to be taken no matter what! In order to achieve this, the troops he led at this time had reached one-third of the entire Yue family's army!

With such military power, Han Chang is just a joke! He was indeed extraordinarily brave, but he only escaped the fate of being beheaded. On the same day, he ran back with the remnants of the defeated army, and just entered the city of Yingchang, Zhang Xian chased after him, and he had already killed outside the city. Yue's army attacked the city overnight, and the next day on June 20, Yingchang was conquered! One day and one night to conquer the city, defeat the famous general, the first victory!

Yingchang is both down. The next target is Huaining Mansion in Chenzhou, about 130 kilometers east of Kaifeng, on the North Jingbei Road, which is the second of the three major towns!

After Han Chang's army was defeated, he fled to Chenzhou. In order to win, Yue Fei sent Niu Gao, Xu Qing and Zhang Xian to rendezvous, and the strength reached nearly half of the whole army. The Battle of Chenzhou is a strengthened version of Yingchang, Zhang Xian went all the way, engaged in continuous battles, defeated a total of three groups of Jin army, and when he arrived at the city of Chenzhou, he had exhausted all the living forces of the Chenzhou Jin army...

On the 24th, Zhang Xian conquered Chenzhou. At this time, it was only 4 days before the start of the war. Two of the three major towns used by the Jin State to defend Kaifeng have been lost!

A day later, Wang Gui, another chief general of the Yuejia Army and the commander of the Chinese army, launched another attack! In fact, Wang Gui's actions were faster than Zhang Xian's, and when Zhang Xian fought bloody battles in Yingchang and Huaining, he had quietly crossed this war zone and advanced north to Zhengzhou in Kaifeng and Luoyang! Suddenly launched an attack in the west of Kaifeng City!

Stationed in Zhengzhou was the Jin army's Wanfu Duhua, who hurriedly took 5,000 cavalry out of the city to meet the battle, and encountered Wang Gui's general Yang Cheng and others in the southern suburbs of Zhengzhou... With unpreparedness and no superiority in troops, the tragedy of manipulation and independence was cast. He was defeated even worse than Han Chang. Zhengzhou was close at hand and had no chance to escape back, so he just ran wildly, and when he found that there were no pursuers behind him, he had fled to Zhongmu County. At this time, the Jin army was exhausted and frightened. I can't run anymore...

Man Duhua decided to rest, but at this time he still maintained enough sanity and did not enter the county seat, but set up camp in the wilderness. He asked for nothing else. I just hope I can get a good night's sleep...

It's a pity that he underestimated the Yue family's army's determination to fight! In Wang Gui's heart, occupying Zhengzhou is not a heavy task, what he wants is to clear all the Jin troops in this area! Not really. He can't go any further and recover Luoyang!

Xijing Henan Mansion in the four capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Luoyang, a famous historical city through the ages! There are countless traces of China, recording a long history and culture. Recovering it, both in terms of strategic significance and popular morale, has important significance!

On the 25th, Wang Gui conquered Zhengzhou. On the same day, Han Shizhong's army led by Wang Sheng recovered Haizhou on the Huainan East Road. Liu Guangshi's army had returned to Taiping Prefecture on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Zhang Jun's army led by Wang De has gone north to the city of Suzhou on Huainan East Road, and the first favorite general Wang De and the second favorite general Li Qiong under Liu Guangshi in the past are about to face off! The three major generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty counterattacked on all fronts! But on that day, the most important battle was not the Battle of Zhengzhou or the Battle of Haizhou, but the Qilidian in the north of Yingchang City!

Looking at the time, it was the next day when Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, and Xu Qing joined forces to conquer Chenzhou. After the battle, a hundred miles away, it was impossible for Zhang Xian to return to Yingchang in time, and the enemy who came was His Excellency Wanyan Zongbi, the marshal of the Jin army...

The fourth prince is fighting again, he is very busy, tired and impulsive. Before he could digest the humiliation of being chased and killed by Liu Qi, and before he had time to perform the Dafa of Forgetting and regain the dignity of the supreme and the first god of war in the world, he was disturbed by Han Chang again...

Han Chang first lost Yingchang and then Huaining, he really had nowhere to go, so he was ruthless and ran back to Kaifeng City to see Jin Wushu, begging for comfort, shelter, and help. But what flew in front of you was a real leather whip...

The fourth prince is mad! It's only been a few days, and the Song army actually threatened Kaifeng City? What happened to the invincible Jurchen army? Obviously, there are a lot more waste generals! Such as this Han Chang! He never brought any good news... Thinking of this, the fourth prince raised his whip again, right! It's not the wicker from last time! Slapped Han Chang hard again...

This whiplash failed to make Han Chang as energetic and energetic as last time, and he was furious! Why? Even if it's a dog, there are times when you can't catch a rabbit! He's done his best, right? There's a kind of you going to try! Is it wrong for Mao to be someone else every time? It is said that Han Chang began to yearn for the Song Dynasty from this time on, and had some quiet moves...

But at this time, he had to follow the anger of the Four Highnesses. Wanyan Zongbi set off from Kaifeng City, eager to kill Yingchang as soon as possible, for the sake of speed, he only brought 6,000 fine horses, and blew over like a whirlwind!

At this time, Yingchang City was stationed in the Yue family's army, Dong Xian, the commander of the Tabai Army, and Yao Zheng, the commander of the Youyi Army. These two armies have low combat effectiveness in the 12th Army of Yue Fei's department, Youyi means itinerant, and Tabai is armed reconnaissance, neither of which is the main combat force. At this time, they were only used to defend the city and protect Zhang Xian's flanks. But these two armies, after learning that the Jin army was coming, reacted by going out of the city to face the battle!

In Qilidian, north of Yingchang City, the reconnaissance patrol of the Yuejia Army fought against 6,000 elite cavalry led by Wanyan Zongbi, Han Chang, and Xie Ye Yan, the fourth prince of Dajin, and fought fiercely for an hour. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince fled in the wilderness... I wonder where his whip went? Will you give yourself a hard beating?

Liu Guangshi sent someone to recruit Li Qiong, the defender of Bozhou and his former favorite general, but Li Ai did not give face, and the letter written by Boss Liu was not opened, and it was burned directly. Liu Guangshi was furious: The kid is shameless, right? Then let Wang De, another former beloved, teach you a lesson...

Li Qiong heard that Wang De was coming, and hurriedly said to Wan Yan Bao, "Wang Yasha is here, and his edge is indispensable." I'm going to escape" On the 26th, Zhang Jun recovered Bozhou.

On the 27th, Chen Gui, the former prefect of Shunchang, was transferred to the prefect of Luzhou, and Liu Qi acted as the prefect of Shunchang. The imperial court made it clear that it was willing to accept it when Liu Qi saw it. Hong Hao, the former Song envoy who was detained in Yanshan by the Jin army, hurriedly wrote: "The battle of Shunchang, the enemy was terrified and lost. Treasure of the Swallow. He took it to the north, intending to donate Yan to the south and abandon it. If the king is returned, he will lose the opportunity, but it is a pity that he will also "

Just when the shape was in a good place, but at this moment, the flank of the Yue family's army suddenly emptied! Adjacent to the Yue Fei Theater is Huainan East Road, which is in charge of Zhang Jun and Wang De. Both men were quite high in terms of seniority and strength, and in any case, the results achieved in this campaign were very impressive: they advanced rapidly. Suzhou and Bozhou were recovered. Looking at the geographical location, these two states are at the eastern end of Chenzhou, in a parallel line, or even a little more north. That is to say. They actually advanced a little further north than the Yue family's army!

However, suddenly, Zhang Jun did not say hello to Yue Fei and Han Shizhong on the front line, and suddenly withdrew his troops and returned to Shouchun Mansion on the south bank of the Huai River. Wang De, as Zhang Jun's subordinates, also withdrew, leaving only Song Chao with about 1,000 men to garrison Bozhou. Because the war on the Shaanxi side has ended. Hu Shijiang withdrew his troops. This is tantamount to exposing the left and right sides of the Yue family's army to the enemy!

At this time, there is no official document that can prove the reason for Zhang Jun's withdrawal! First, there was no attack from the Jin army. Second, he himself didn't even ask Zhao Gou for instructions, it was completely his private behavior!

Thinking of the previous herald's message, you will understand how considerate Zhang Jun is as a leader. The glory belongs to the emperor, and the ugliness is reserved for himself. He is really a good cadre who is competent and qualified. But there is one point: why did Zhang Jun choose to withdraw his troops at this critical moment? Isn't it better to be sooner, or later?

If it was earlier, Yue Fei's offensive had not been fully launched, and he would have been able to get out of the battlefield at any time. And at this time, all the troops are spread out, can they go? A little later, Yue Fei's offensive will be transformed into a battle record, and the Jin army will retreat from losses, when the battle situation is clear, and Yue Fei can advance and retreat freely. But that's the time! Who said that Zhang Jun has no military talent? He stuck Yue Fei's neck just right! Isn't the Yue family army strong? If you want to enter, you have to resist all of the Jin army. If you want to return, you have to leave some of the capital!

Yue Fei was unaware of Zhang Jun's retreat, he had no idea that when everyone was marching together, suddenly his companions would retreat and leave him at the forefront! His troops spread out further and further to the north, farther and farther away from him. And there were very few troops around him, and even the most elite personal soldiers were sent to Zhang Xian. It can be said: this is when he is at his weakest, while his base camp position is exposed!

The Jin army in Zhengzhou was completely annihilated on the night of the 29th. Wang Gui robbed the village late at night, the Jin army was defenseless at all, and the only suspense afterwards was that Master Wanfu couldn't find him, there was no him in the pile of dead bodies, and he never appeared again in the history after that, and Manduhua was killed?

Wang Gui didn't stay, and sent Zhang Ying and Han Qing to lead the army to Luoyang overnight! Previously, Li Xing, who was seriously injured and fell outside the Dingding Gate of Luoyang City, and Li Xing, who had woken up again in the middle of the night, had accumulated enough strength to recover 8 county towns including Yiyang, Henan Prefecture, and then recovered Ruzhou. At this time, facing Yue Fei's old opponent, Li Cheng, the first general of the former Pseudo-Qi, Li Xing asked Yue Fei for support. The Yuejia army led by Zhang Ying and Han Qing joined Li Xing on July 1.

Li Cheng, this traitor has been continuously enslaved by Liu Yu and Jin Guo, and he has long been desperate for the aliens! At this time, he was determined to show his hand and let the new master know the strength of the strongest You Kou back then!

Li Cheng took advantage of the Yuejia army's hundred-mile attack and the end of the strong crossbow to challenge, ushering in the ugliest defeat in his military career! In the field battle, Li Cheng was in a mess and reluctantly fled back to Luoyang City. Then he closed the gates of the city, gave all hope to the city walls, and said that he would not go to war at all...

Looking at the above battles, it is very easy to see a phenomenon: Yue Fei's combat effectiveness in this Northern Expedition has far surpassed that of the Jin Army, and in the past, Wanyan Zongbi and Li Cheng were able to face off with Yue Fei, even if they failed, Yue Fei would have to pay some price. But at this time, Yue Fei's subordinates were enough to deal with them in a devastating manner... Obviously not on a notch!

On the other hand, other war zones, such as Wu Lan, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong, have no different results than before...

What does this mean? It is obvious that the combat power of Wu Lan, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and even Wanyan Zongbi, Li Cheng, and Han Chang has not declined, but Yue Fei is a lone team, and he has been continuously improving in many years of warfare, and his army has become invincible, far behind these people who were in the same range as him back then. Yue Fei has intimidated the world!

Luoyang's Chenggao Chishen also did not provide any practical help to Li Cheng. On July 1, Li Cheng abandoned the city and fled, and Luoyang, the western capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was recovered!

This victory is significant! Putting aside the influence of politics and psychology, from a purely military point of view, it is also of decisive significance. It was a big leap forward, not starting from Yingchang step by step, but breaking away in an instant, breaking into the hinterland of the Jin army at once, so as to open up inside and outside at the same time. At this time, it can be seen from the map that the Yuejia army has formed a three-sided encirclement of Kaifeng City: Yingchang in the southwest, Chenzhou in the south, Zhengzhou and Luoyang in the west, but the north is empty, leaving a back road for the Jin army...

If Wanyan Zongbi also sees it this way, then he will die! He wouldn't have thought that Yue Fei's tentacles had already stretched across the north bank of the Yellow River!

Still on the day of July 1, a Yuejia army disguised itself as civilians, quietly lurked on the south bank of the Yellow River at the northwest corner of Jingbei Road that night, and crossed the Yellow River in the early hours of the morning... After more than 13 years of the Jingkang Revolution and the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Han army finally re-arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River!

This army was led by Liang Xing and Dong Rong, and they made a lot of advance preparations before crossing the river, which was started as early as five or six years ago, and the name was "Connecting Heshuo" Heshuo was Yue Fei's hometown, and it was also the hinterland of the Jin forces at this time, where the people were strong and brave, if they could be excavated, so that the Jin people would be attacked inside and outside the country, and the victory of the Northern Expedition would be of decisive significance! (To be continued......)
