Chapter 188: Huang Tiandang's Great War
Allure Dance led the army, together with the soldiers, back to Yangzhou Mansion.
It is estimated that the lost territory has been regained.
Now, the battle situation is only the battle of Huang Tiandang, which is not over.
Wanyan Zongbi was blocked in the waters of Huangtiandang.
Zong Bi expressed to Han Shizhong that he was willing to return all the plundered people, animals, and property, and offered famous horses in order to cross the river by way.
But Han Shizhong refused.
Wanyan Zongbi then led the fleet and tried to break out of Huang Tiandang.
Han Shizhong's boat master is the elite sailor of Jiankang Mansion, who can fight well, and uses a high-sea ship, which is much larger than the ship that Yan Zongbi hastily collected.
In the face of the breakthrough of the Jin soldiers, Han Shizhong divided the boat division into two and attacked from the north to the south.
The Jin soldiers did not have an advantage at all in the water battle and were re-killed and retreated.
In this confrontation, Liang Hongyu personally held the drum, boosted the morale of the sailors, led the battleship to charge into battle, and killed more than 4,000 Jin soldiers.
The Jin soldiers were defeated and their vitality was greatly damaged.
After Yan Zongbi lost his troops, he retreated dozens of miles in a row, and once again proposed to Han Shizhong to 'borrow the way'.
"Return my two palaces and restore my territory, and you can be complete!"
Han Shizhong only made this request.
Wanyan Zongbi did not answer, but went down to the village at the end of Huang Tiandang's stagnant water, and he didn't know how to feel.
As a result, Han Shizhong continued to make the sailors advance, forming a trend of persecution.
This circumference is 4 days.
PS: Historically, Han Shizhong besieged Yan Zongbi for more than 40 days.
On the night of May 20, Wanyan Zongbi took advantage of the old channel of the Lao Stork River to open a canal for more than 30 miles to connect the river estuary, and rushed out of Huangtiandang the next day to the river near Jiankang.
After Han Shizhong found out, he led the army to pursue and intercept along the west of the river, and held it in the middle of the river north of Jiankang, and continued to prevent the Jin army from crossing the river.
There was no hope of breaking through the siege of Yan Zongbi, and he spent a lot of money to break the strategy of the Song army's sea ships, and there were Fujian strangers who taught the Jin army to fill the soil in the boat and lay a flat plate on it to prevent the light boat from tossing in the wind and waves and the Song army's iron hook and hook boat, and placed oars on both sides of the boat to speed up the ship and facilitate mobile combat.
If there is wind, do not come out, and when the wind is calm, it will come out, and shoot the canopy with rockets.
Wanyan Zongbi rushed to make rockets overnight, and ordered Jin soldiers to dig a new river in Bailuzhou, southwest of Jiankang, and took advantage of Han Shizhong's unpreparedness to lead the fleet to detour to the upper reaches of the Song army.
On the 25th, the sky was sunny and windless, and the Song army's sea ships were huge and difficult to navigate.
Wanyan Zongbi approached the Song army fleet with light boats and shot the Song army's canopy with rockets, and the Song commanders Sun Shixun and Yan Yongji were killed in battle, and the Jin army took advantage of the situation to chase and kill more than 70 miles.
Han Shizhong led the army to arrive, which forced the Jin army back and saved the vanguard fleet.
Seeing that he could not expand the results of the battle, Wanyan Zongbi could only give up and lead the remaining Jin soldiers to cross the river and return to the north.
At this point, the Battle of Lin'an City was over.
Lin Yuan was in Lin'an City, and he was not surprised to learn that Wanyan Zongbi had successfully escaped.
Historically, Wanyan Zongbi also fled.
Huang Tiandang fought a battle, Han Shizhong and Wanyan Zongbi, there were winners and losers for each other, and no one could help anyone.
However, the Battle of Lin'an City was a complete victory for the Southern Song Dynasty as a whole.
There were 180,000 elite Jin soldiers, and less than 10,000 escaped in the end.
And in this battle, the Jin generals Wanyan Kang, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Chen Monk, and Sushi Lie Zhining were all captured.
After this battle, Jin Bing no longer dared to go south to peek at Lin'an.
Lin Yuan sat in Lin'an City, and in the past ten days, he has been counting the post-war statistics of this battle.
How many soldiers were killed in battle, the military exploits of each sergeant, and the counting of the various trophies.
All of them were registered in advance, and they were almost clear.
The number of people in the White Horse has plummeted from the initial 15,000 to 9,000.
Fortunately, now in Lin Yuan's hands, there is a sufficient supply of soldiers.
He immediately ordered the recruitment of new White Horse Servants among the captured servants, the surviving forbidden army, and the captured Jurchen soldiers.
After multi-party integration, the strength of the White Horse Righteous Servant once again reached full strength.
The Forbidden Army, which also suffered heavy casualties, also needed to be replenished.
There was no way, so he once again singled out elite men in the servant army to enrich the battalions.
However, many of the captured Jurchen soldiers also chose to submit.
It turned out that not all of these Jurchen soldiers were Jurchen, but also composed of Khitan, Hun, Qiang, Wu'er, and Naiman.
These non-Jurchen people all chose to submit.
Lin Yuan won 30,000 troops at once.
These people are all excellent cavalrymen.
Lin Yuan reorganized them and selected soldiers suitable for the White Horse Righteous Servants, and the remaining 25,000 people were all filled into the Japanese army.
The size of the Japanese army's personnel suddenly broke through the limit and reached 54,000 people.
After some screening, the four units of the forbidden army reached full strength again.
For the rest of the captive soldiers, Lin Yuan directly dismissed them and returned them to farming.
As for the 10,000 Jurchen warriors, as well as the 4 golden generals, they are still all imprisoned.
When the Jin State pays the ransom, he will release them whenever he wants.
After the staffing was arranged, Lin Yuan immediately arranged the captured loot.
The loot seized this time is very much eye-catching.
Lin Yuan ordered that all the grain and grass should be returned to the warehouse after registration, and the armor and weapons, along with some baggage, would be stored in the treasury.
As for gold and silver jewelry, it is indeed eye-catching.
Under the trade-off, Lin Yuan still chose to give up, and directly registered all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry and deposited them in the treasury.
Pingjiang, Liuzhou and other places have been plagued by the Jin soldiers, and they are deserted.
Even some territories of Yangzhou Prefecture, Lin'an Prefecture, and Jiankang Prefecture are also devastated.
The rules of the Musou world are that if a territory loses its lord, if no one else occupies it, the territory directly belongs to the faction court.
This time, the Southern Song Dynasty reclaimed a large area of territory north of Lin'an Province.
After everything was arranged, Lin Yuan began to send scouts and went south to find Zhao Gou.
Now that the war is over, he doesn't have to run away.
Tanma went to Mingzhou and learned that Zhao Gou had already gone to sea, and it was unknown when he would return.
There was no way, Lin Yuan could only continue to sit in Lin'an.
When Zhao Gou was at sea, when he learned the news of the great victory, when would he come back.
After the stabilization, the yamen of the various prefectures also began to operate.
In particular, the teleportation array in Lin'an City has also begun to operate.
Lin Yuan used a gold medal given to him by Zhao Gou, and actually had the teleportation permission of the teleportation array.
It can only be said that Zhao Gou is a hundred secrets.
As a result, Lin Yuan began to send some of his assets back to the territory through the teleportation array.
The first to be sent back was the White Horse Righteous Servant.
Now, Lin Yuan has a very high prestige in the forbidden army, even if Zhao Gou returns, the forbidden army still looks to Lin Yuan's horse.
Because this forbidden army was completely built by him.
15,000 white horse followers, three days before and after, finally all sent over.
Not only that, but they also took away a large amount of Lin Yuan's treasures and resources.
Lin Yuan sent all his belongings, along with the army, back, and he felt relaxed.
Now, only 100 guards are left with him.
On June 1, news finally came from the direction of Mingzhou.
Zhao Gou learned of Lin'an's great victory at sea, and was leading the civil and military ministers to Lin'an.
