…

After the victorious army crossed the Juma River and entered the dry realm, the speed of its advance was very fast.

Two days later, Chang Shengjun came to the south of Yanjing City and stationed in Baoguang Temple.

Although Li Cun was in Yanjing City, Li Cun delegated the command of this battle to Han Shizhong, and let Han Shizhong be fully responsible for commanding this battle.

- Li Cun is like this, also because the Daqian Dynasty is facing a full-scale attack from the Zhao Song Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom, and the four battlefields are in full bloom, and he has to make overall plans to ensure that he can really repel the combined attack of the Song and Jin Dynasty.

Han Shizhong considered that the number of horse troops he could mobilize was far from being comparable to that of the Song army, and he might be defeated by the Song army in a direct field battle.

Therefore, Han Shizhong led the Jinwu army to camp in Yanjing City, and asked Han Bei to lead the Tabai army to camp in the north of the city.

Zhang Linghui, the vanguard of the victorious army, patrolled the north of the city, met the front army of the white army in Shahe, and immediately fought with the front army of the white army with superior soldiers and horses, and the rear army arrived soon after, and then all the armies gathered, defeated the front army of the white army, captured many people, and captured more than 500 people.

The victorious army won the first battle.

Upon learning of this, Chang Shengjun's morale was greatly boosted from Guo Yaoshi down, and they threatened to recover Yanjing in a battle.

After Han Shizhong learned of this, he did not punish Han Bei, but sent Hu Yantong to lead the former army of the Jinwu Army to garrison the victorious army, and did not directly clash with the Changsheng army for the time being.

Soon, Huyantong took advantage of Han Bei's new defeat and used the green banner to pretend to contain the rout of the army at the victory pass to lure the enemy.

When Guo Yaoshi got the report of exploring the horse, he had the heart of despising the enemy, and the army continued to attack, and the soldiers of the Changsheng army pursued by the victory, beheading more than 1,000 ranks.

And Han Bei seized the opportunity to suddenly lead the Tabai army to attack the rear of the Changsheng army, and the Changsheng army was defeated and retreated, and confronted the Tabai army in the north of the Qingsha River.

A few days later, Guo Yaoshi saw that Han Bei's troops were insufficient, and he was only defending according to the danger, and he could only support Yanjing's cadres, so he only left a part of his men and horses to confront him, and besieged Yanjing with a large army.

——In order to attack the city, Guo Yaoshi transferred another 100,000 infantry troops from the rear.

Subsequently, Zhang Linghui led more than 10,000 troops to attack the southeast of Yanjing City; Liu Shunren led more than 10,000 troops to attack the northwest of Yanjing City; Guo Yaoshi personally led his army to attack the northeast and southwest of Yanjing City.

At the same time, Guo Yaoshi recruited and surrendered the cadres defending the city.

A few days later, Guo Yaoshi traveled from Baoguang Temple in the south of the city to the north of the city, and personally urged the generals to march into the army and attack the Qingsha River and the White Army.

The two sides fought for a day, each with thousands of casualties, and the White Army suffered a slight setback, but still held on by virtue of the danger.

The next day, Guo Yaoshi supervised the siege of the city, and the Song army landed in the city by night with a 3,000 death squad, but was repelled by Zhao Lili.

Later, Han Shizhong discovered and blocked the tunnel dug by the Song army.

After this, Han Shizhong continued to hold on while waiting for an opportunity.

At this time, due to the siege of Yanjing City, the distant and near shocks, Xiao Yixin, the governor of Shunzhou, was dissatisfied with Li Cun's "unloading and killing the donkey" and demoted him to a state guard and killed the prison army Zhang Xu and others to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Wenxun, the warden of Jizhou, took advantage of the general Guan Sheng to lead the army to fight, sent someone to lock the city gate, and at the same time sent someone to inform Guo Yaoshi to come and take over Jizhou City.

Shunzhou and Jizhou successively descended to the Song Dynasty, which brought great encouragement to the Zhao and Song dynasties. ….

While Tong Guan sent people to receive Shunzhou and Jizhou, he also sent 100,000 reinforcements to Guo Yaoshi, expecting Guo Yaoshi to capture Yanjing City in one fell swoop and capture Li Cun alive.

At this time, the cadres were dragged in Yehuling, Yuguan and Yanmen Pass, and in the eyes of the Zhao and Song dynasties, Guo Yaoshi did have the possibility of attacking Yanjing City.

Only Guo Yaoshi became more and more uneasy the more he fought, because no matter how he attacked this Yanjing City, there was no tendency to attack it.

Guo Yaoshi was very worried that once one of the three parties of Yehuling, Yuguan and Yanmen Pass could achieve victory, then there would be reinforcements from the Great Qian Dynasty here in Yanjing City.

At that time, the cadres and troops will be attacked from inside and outside, and the Song army will definitely be defeated.

Moreover, the Song army besieged Yanjing Jiancheng, and the soldiers were sluggish and demoralized.

As a last resort, Pharmacist Guo personally supervised the war

The army of Lu attacked the Tabai army, and the two armies fought at the Gaoliang River.

Han Bei led the Tabai army to defeat and retreat.

However, the Changsheng army continued to attack Yanjing City for nearly 20 days, and the soldiers were already exhausted, so although they defeated the Tabai Army, they only pursued for more than ten miles from noon to evening, allowing the main force of the Tabai Army to escape easily.

What Guo Yaoshi did not expect was that the Youyi army, which had never fought since the Song army began to fight with the cadre army, suddenly came out of the secret passage unexpectedly under the leadership of Yang Zaixing, and everyone rushed straight with torches in their hands.

The Song army didn't know the number of Youyi troops, and they were already worried before they could engage in battle, so they didn't dare to engage in battle, and only wanted to defend according to the Gaoliang River.

Han Bei saw that Yang Zaixing had finally gone to war, and immediately led the remnants of the Tabai Army to fight back again, holding on to the Song army, and then commanding the elite cavalry with Yang Zaixing, advancing from the left and right flanks of the Song army, attacking the Song army at night, and implementing the trend of encirclement and pincer attack on both wings.

The battle was very fierce, Yang Zaixing took the lead, was injured three times, and fought at the forefront of the Youyi army.

Han Shizhong in Yanjing City saw that the opportunity for victory had arrived, opened the door and lined up, beat drums on all sides, and personally led all the Jinwu troops out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Song army.

The Jinwu army opened the way with tiger squatting artillery, a swarm of rockets and thunderbolts.

All of a sudden, the sound of cannons shook the heavens and the earth, and the guns and arrows flew all over the sky.

The Song army was defeated and retreated.

Before long, Guo Yaoshi was stunned to find that the Song army had been surrounded by the cadre army.

The Song army was unable to resist the attack of the cadres.

They can only retreat one after another.

Han Shizhong personally commanded the Song army from behind, while Han Bei and Yang Zaixing led the Tabai army and the Youyi army to overtake the Song army.

Under the attack of the Jinwu army, the Tabai army and the guerrilla army, the Song army was defeated, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded, and had to retreat south overnight.

Guo Yaoshi and the Song generals were scattered, and all the Song generals could not find their own subordinate sergeants.

Seeing that the defeat had been achieved, Pharmacist Guo could only lead the pro-army to flee south.

Han Bei and Yang Zaixing have been chasing behind.

Even Han Shizhong led the Jinwu army to abandon the baggage and pursue along the road.

Cai Jing and other Song troops, under the leadership of Tong Guan, stood on the north city wall of Zhuozhou, looking north in the direction of Yanjing.

- Tong Guan and they have already learned that there was a big battle in Yanjing last night, but they don't know whether it was Guo Yaoshi who attacked Yanjing City in this battle, or whether the cadres repelled Guo Yaoshi's attack. ….

Yanjing is not too far from Zhuozhou, only more than a hundred miles.

Tong Guan and the others only saw the direction of Yanjing, the dust was like clouds, and it was indistinguishable all over the sky.

At noon, Tong Guan and others suddenly saw Zhang Linghui leading the army back, then Liu Shunren also retreated, and then Guo Yaoshi also led the army back.

But Han Bei and Yang Zaixing then also led the Tabai Army and the You Yi Army to chase after them.

After Tong Guan got the news, he ordered: The army must not enter the city.

- Tong Guan was worried that the Song army would introduce cadres into the city when it entered the city, so he ordered the city gate to be closed.

Song Jun shouted loudly outside the city gate: Don't close the city gate!

But the Song army in the city resolutely carried out Tong Guan's orders.

Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and other Song generals had no choice but to turn around and fight with Han Bei and Yang Zaixing.

Before long, Yang Keshi and Yang Weizhong heard the news and led their troops to join the battle.

The two sides started a bloody battle under the city of Zhuozhou.

Tong Guan stood on the city tower and saw that the battle outside the city was fierce, so he sent Xin Qizong and Xin Yongzong to lead the Shengjie army out of the city for reinforcements.

The Shengjie army is worthy of being Tong Guan's pro-army, these Western troops have a fierce temperament, and they are not afraid of death when they fight, and with them participating in the war, the Song army quickly turned the tide of the war.

But when the problem was, not long after, the front army of the Jinwu Army also rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of Hu Yantong, and the two sides started another bloody battle.

In real time, the sky is dark, the north wind, heavy rain, and hail are like fists, and the two armies cannot look at each other, and the fight is the will of the two armies to fight.

Before long, the left and right armies of the Jinwu Army also arrived on the battlefield.

What made the Song army cry out was that it was already dark at this time, and the Tabai army, the Youyi army and the Jinwu army were all exhausted because of the continuous battle.

Therefore, after Han Shizhong led the Jinwu Chinese army to the battlefield, he ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

In this battle, the Song army suffered as many as 100,000 casualties, the dead corpses piled each other, invincible, and another 670,000 Song soldiers were captured, the soldiers trampled on each other, abandoned the throwing soldiers all over the suburbs, and the Jinwu army obtained weapons, sigils, grain and grass, and currency is incalculable.

Tong Guan then gave an order to Pharmacist Guo to set up camp outside the city, gather the team, and stand by in place.

The next day, although the wind and rain had stopped, the sky was still gray, and the ground was full of stagnant water and mud.

Tong Guan stared at the dark and dreary sky, and his mood was indescribably complicated.

Three days later, Tong Guan received news that Shunzhou and Jizhou had been recaptured by the cadres, Xiao Yixin and Zhao Wenxun had been chopped up, the men in their families were executed, and those who followed his rebellion were also executed.

Tong Guan called Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren to inquire about the front line.

The three of them were all depressed, shirking their responsibilities and slandering each other, and none of them wanted to take responsibility for the defeat.

A few days later, Tong Guan heard that Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were defeated by the cadres one after another.

What made Tong Guan's heart even more chilling was that news came from Yanmen Pass that Li Siben, Geng Shouzhong and others would be defeated by the cadre Yue Fei......

……

At the same time that Wanyan Zonghan attacked Yehuling, Wanyan Zongwang attacked Yuguan and Guo Yaoshi attacked Yanjing City, the Yisheng Army and Fuzhou soldiers also sent troops to Yanmen Pass and Chenjiagu to take Shuozhou and Yingzhou. ….

When Yue Fei learned of this, Zhao Bingyuan led the Shengjie army to Chenjiagu to engage the Song general Zhekeqiu, while he himself led the Longxiang army into Yingzhou and engaged the Yisheng army led by Li Siben and Geng Shouzhong, who had left Yanmen Pass.

After Li Siben led the Yisheng army to Daizhou, he ordered Geng Shouzhong to lead more than 10,000 men and horses from Xicheng and detour along Xiaocheng to the north entrance of Yanmen; And he himself led his troops to attack head-on, and jointly attacked the Longxiang army led by Yue Fei at the north ridge of Yanmen.

Yue Fei planned to lead Li Siben and Geng Shouzhong to the north ridge of Yanmen, and then occupied the dangerous terrain and defeated Li Siben and Geng Shouzhong with sharp weapons such as tiger squat cannons, conscienceless cannons, and swarm of bee rockets.

In this battle, Yue Fei killed Li Lu, the son of Li Siben, captured more than 4,000 soldiers of the Yisheng Army alive, and captured many armors and horses.

At the same time, Zhe Keqiu and Zhao Bingyuan fought fiercely at the mouth of the Chenjia Valley.

The two sides went back and forth, from morning to night, and finally fought without a win.

When it was dark, he could not win, so he could only retreat from Chenjiagu to Fuzhou.

After that, for a long time, the Song army had been holding on to dangerous checkpoints and fortresses such as Yanmen Pass, so that Yue Fei had no way to take the Song army for a while.

However, although Yanmen Pass is a strategically important place, it can only temporarily block the offensive of the cadres and cannot be used to hold out and resist the enemy for a long time.

A few days later, Yue Fei personally led the Longxiang army to Yanmen Pass.

Li Si was eager to avenge his son and asked Geng Shouzhong to guard Yanmen Pass, while he himself led thousands of horsemen to go out from the west path, and then from the trail to the north entrance of Yanmen, and then to the south, preparing to attack Yue Fei from behind.

It has to be said that Li Siben's courage is really big, he actually wants to attack Yue Fei's tens of thousands of horses with thousands of cavalry, which is really the most difficult and dangerous thing.

It is said that Li Siben should have a chance to win this miracle attack.

But on the contrary, Li Siben met the future famous general Yue Fei.

As soon as Yue Fei arrived at the battlefield, he first checked the terrain according to what Li Cun had taught him.

After checking, Yue Fei was very uneasy about the path south of the north entrance of Yanmen.

So, Yue Fei kept an eye on it and asked Wang Gui to lead his headquarters to set up an ambush here.

As a result, Li Siben had just led thousands of cavalry to pounce on the Longxiang army that was preparing to attack Yanmen Pass, intending to give Yue Fei a knife from behind, but Wang Gui took advantage of the terrain to ambush him with tiger squat cannons, a swarm of bee rockets and thunderbolts.

Most of the thousands of men and horses led by Li Siben were left behind by Wang Guibu, and Li Siben only led hundreds of horsemen to flee to Chenjiagu in embarrassment, and then took advantage of Zhao Bingyuan's carelessness to flee from Chenjiagu to Fuzhou.

It is worth mentioning that when Wang Gui was chasing the enemy, he saw a person riding a tall horse where the Song army was crowded. Wang Gui guessed that this person might be the commander of the Song army, so he gave him an arrow. As a result, it hit Li Siben in the back and seriously injured Li Siben, making it impossible for Li Siben to return to Yanmen Pass.

After losing the main general, the morale of the Yisheng army in Yanmen Pass fell greatly.

Yue Fei seized this fighter and attacked Yanmen Pass with Yue Heng and Yao Zheng in turn.

In this process, Yue Fei fully implemented Li Cun's combat concept of "interspersing tactics if you are poor, and covering firepower if you are rich", and all kinds of gunpowder weapons were smashed at Yanmen Pass without money, which made the righteous victorious army in Yanmen Pass tremble. ….

In the end, under the leadership of Geng Shouzhong, the Yisheng army abandoned the pass and fled, and the cadre army seized the crucial Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass is an important pass on the Great Wall, known for its "danger", known as "the first pass in China", and has the saying that "there are nine stops in the world, and Yanmen is the head".

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the northern part of Shanxi has been the center of the rule of the Northern Dynasties and has become the frontier of ethnic integration. Yanmen Pass and Daizhou, where it is located, are the passage for ethnic minorities in northern China to invade the interior, so Yanmen Pass has been a strategic place for border defense since ancient times.

According to incomplete statistics, up to this time, there have been more than 100 battles here in Yanmen Pass.

It can be seen that Yanmen Pass is indeed a battleground for soldiers.

Moreover, Yanmen Pass leads to Yundi in the north and Taiyuan in the south, enters the vast grassland, and retreats to defend the thousands of miles of passes, and the strategic position is very important.

Now, this Yanmen Pass has fallen into the hands of the Daqian Dynasty, which is equivalent to saying that the Daqian Dynasty has opened the northern gate of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

In this way, if Li Cun wanted to kill the Song Dynasty, he could divide his troops into two routes and go down from Hebei and Hedong at the same time.

It's no wonder that Tong Guan will be shocked.

What scared Tong Guan even more was that Yue Fei did not stop after the Yanmen was closed.

——After consulting Li Cun, Yue Fei continued to lead his troops south, and soon, even Daizhou was captured by Yue Fei.

At the same time, after Han Shizhong recovered Shunzhou and Jizhou, he also led the Jinwu army south.

For a while, it was as if the Daqian Dynasty had begun to dry the Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan saw that the situation was not good, and while sending someone back to Beijing to ask Zhao Ji to hurry up and get an idea, he held a meeting of the Xuanfu Division.

The transfer envoy Lu Yihao suggested that a death squad of 2,000 people be formed immediately, and then open the city gate to escort the important personnel to retreat south.

Cai Jing was a retainer and did not dare to give up Zhuozhou easily, so he said, "This matter must be studied carefully, carefully considered, and not rashly opened."

Shen Xuan, the promoter, also did not approve of opening the city gate and fleeing south.

Tong Guan did not express his position at the meeting.

After Cai Jing returned home, he said to Xu Cai and Cai Songnian, "We are discussing countermeasures in the Xuanfu Division, and they all want to abandon the city and retreat south, what do you two think of this matter?"

Xu Cai and Cai Songnian both thought that this could not be done.

Xu Cai said, "The public is a minister who guards the land, how can he be compared with others? Defend it to the death. And now in the south of the city, the defeated army is full of wilderness, and there is no way to vent it, so I don't want to go back?!"

Cai Jing said, "Jing is exactly what it means."

But after a while, someone came to report that Lu Yihao and Liang Jing, the envoy of Lian Fang, arrived at the south gate of the city with their families, preparing to leave the city, and there were about 1,200 Cao Si officials and soldiers, who smashed the door at the south gate of the city and wanted to flee out of the south of the city.

Cai Jing decisively ordered Cai Songnian and said, "You immediately lead someone with a sharp blade in your hand to stop it, and if you dare to take advantage of the chaos, kill it!"

It took a long time for the area around the south gate of the city to settle down.

That night, there were many rumors in Zhuozhou City, and there were even rumors that the Chang Shengjun might mutiny.

After Xu Cai heard the news, he hurriedly reported to Cai Jing.

Cai Jing didn't believe it very much, and asked Xu Cai not to talk nonsense.

Soon after, Lu Yihao,

Liang Jing and others came to Cai Jing's house and strongly persuaded Cai Jing to abandon Zhuozhou and escape.

Wu Ji, who was in charge of the pacification department, also suggested to Cai Jing: "The overall situation has been decided, the public cannot be rigid, and he should seek self-protection and slowly try to do it."

Without waiting for Cai Jing's instructions, Tong Guan ordered everyone to withdraw from Zhuozhou, and the Song army was deployed along the Baigou River under the leadership of Guo Yaoshi.

As far as the facts are concerned, Tong Guan's order is actually quite correct.

After all, Zhuozhou is deep into Yandi, and there is no danger to defend except for a lonely city.

In the past, it was because Li Cun was unwilling to deal with the Zhao Song Dynasty that the Zhao Song Dynasty was able to occupy Zhuozhou.

Now that the two sides have gone to war, the Zhao Song Dynasty of Zhuozhou said that they could no longer ask for anything.

The key is that the Song army has been completely defeated, and the next step is to raise the strength of the whole country to meet the Daqian Dynasty, or to cede land and pay compensation to marry the emperor and ask for peace, then Zhao Ji has to make a decision.

What Tong Guan can do is to try to help Zhao Ji buy some time......
