Chapter 907 The situation is irreversible
Infantry, of course, cannot compare with the high-speed running of cavalry. 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 Jin soldiers.
This news made Yue Fei feel like a thunderbolt. He couldn't believe that there were still five thousand troops in the city, and tens of thousands of people would quickly help them mobilize the people. No matter what, they could persist until they rushed back. Unexpectedly, Du Chong was frightened by thousands of cavalry. Out of courage, Yue Fei felt extremely uncomfortable.
He stared at Bianliang City several miles away, and remained silent for a long time.
"General, what should we do?" Deputy 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 army is not far away from us, so I'm afraid that time will be too late."
Yue Fei bit his lip tightly and said, "We have to try anyway!"
"Since the general has decided, let's do it!"
Yue Fei turned around and walked to a high place. He raised his hand, and all the soldiers fell silent. They stared at Yue Fei with a pair of eyes, and Yue Fei, who looked extremely resolute, said loudly to the crowd: "Brothers, Du Liushou fled in battle and surrendered Bianliang to you!" Jin Bing, but we must not accept this result, we want to recapture Bianliang, even if it costs our lives, we will never back down!"
All the soldiers were infected by the steadfastness of the general. They got excited and raised their arms and shouted together: "Never back down!"
A consensus was reached, and the soldiers began to act. The first step was to take wooden ladders. This was relatively difficult. Bianjing was surrounded by the Song Army's strong walls and cleared the fields. There was not a single big tree within 30 miles, but there was another way, that is, to abandon the outer city. The houses were demolished, and simple siege ladders were made from house girders and other wood. Two hours later, 20,000 Song troops built nearly 100 simple siege ladders, which could barely be used to attack the city.
Yue Fei looked at the golden national flag raised over the city, his heart seemed to be bleeding, he drew out his sword and shouted, "Brothers, take Bianliang City back!"
The 20,000 soldiers shouted loudly. They divided into two groups, carrying simple siege ladders, rushed towards the North City and the East City like a tide, but what greeted them were hundreds of shock waves thrown by the Jin soldiers from the top of the city. Tianlei, Du Chong was a heinous crime. When he fled south of the city in a panic, he didn't even order to pull out the fire rope of the thunder, leaving nearly a thousand thunders for the Jin soldiers, which became a sharp weapon for the Jin soldiers to defend the city.
Wanyan Zongbi led an army of 100,000 to rush towards Bianjing City, led by 30,000 Jurchen iron cavalry, fierce horses galloping like sea tides, galloping across the vast Central Plains, 30,000 cavalry smashed everything, trampled everything, and invincible everything, snow foam and The dust mixed together, covering the sky and the sun.
The 100,000 troops have already killed Fengqiu County, but the speed of 30,000 cavalry is even faster, less than 50 miles away from Bianliang City in Tokyo, and they are continuing to rush south. This kind of destructive momentum composed of 30,000 cavalry, I am afraid that even Bianliang City will become a fan.
Yue Fei left a team of scouts in Chenqiao Town to monitor the main force of the northern Jin army. This team of scouts consisted of twenty cavalrymen. Several cavalrymen were gathering together to discuss the situation of the battle. At this moment, they suddenly felt that the ground began to tremble. Everyone Their faces changed, and they stood up one after another. This was a feeling they were very familiar with, and it was only when a large number of cavalry rushed towards them that there was such a shock.
"Come and see! What is that?"
A soldier shouted on the hillside in the distance, and everyone quickly got on their horses and ran towards the hillside in the distance. When they rushed up the hillside, everyone's faces changed drastically, and a black line appeared in the distance more than ten miles away. They are rushing towards this side, the black line is at least ten miles wide, and the number of cavalry is tens of thousands.
"let's go!"
The leader of the scouts shouted, and the 20 cavalry immediately turned their horses and rushed towards Bianliang City
There were constant explosions outside the city of Bianliang, and 20,000 Song troops desperately attacked the city. Although there were only more than 4,000 Jin soldiers in the city, due to the serious lack of siege ladders of the Song army, it was impossible to form a multi-point attack. Lei, the Song army suffered heavy casualties, and nearly half of the siege ladder was blown up.
Yue Fei continued to command the soldiers to attack the city. At this time, he was also very anxious. Calculated from the time, the main force of the Jin army was about to arrive, but Bianliang City was still unable to attack. What made Yue Fei most anxious was that the simplified siege ladder they made had already Most of them were destroyed, with less than 30 left, and the hope of attacking the city was fading little by little.
"General Qi, the surprise attack on Nancheng failed, and General Liu was unfortunately killed!" A soldier came to report to Yue Fei with great sorrow.
Yue Fei's heart seemed to have fallen into a cold cave. His last hope was that the commander Liu Xi could lead a surprise attack on Nancheng with 300 people, but he did not expect to fail.
"Why?" Yue Fei asked with heartache.
The soldier sighed and said: "We wanted to climb the rope to the city, but the other party had already prepared it. They cut the rope suddenly when we were about to go to the city. More than a dozen ropes broke at the same time. All the brothers fell into the city, and Commander Liu was also unlucky." Fall into the city and die."
"Is the other brother back?"
The soldier nodded silently, "Everyone is back."
At this moment, a series of explosions came from the edge of the North City. The explosions were deafening. A dozen siege ladders were blown to pieces, and the soldiers of the Song Army on the siege ladders fell into the city screaming.
"General, there is urgent information!"
Soldiers shouted behind him, and when Yue Fei turned his head, he saw a team of scouts he had sent running towards this side, waving and shouting while running: "The main force of the enemy army is here!"
They rushed to the front in a moment, Yue Fei stepped forward and asked, "What's the situation?"
"General Qi, the 30,000 cavalry of the Jinbing have already arrived, and they are only twenty miles away from here. General, please make a quick decision!"
Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Bianliang City, with a look of extreme pain in his eyes, his teeth bit his lips to the point of blood, he had no choice but to give an order in pain: "Pass my order, everyone immediately send to Evacuate east!"
Yue Fei's army had suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and the remaining 15,000 people were unable to recapture Bianliang City in the end, and were forced to retreat eastward quickly and withdrew from the battlefield.
Half an hour later, Wanyan Zongbi led 30,000 cavalry to Bianliang. Instead of chasing Yue Fei's army, Wanyan Zongbi held a grand entrance ceremony, which meant that the Song army had held on to Bianliang for nearly two years. Liangcheng was finally conquered by Jin Bing.
The fall of Bianliang City became a turning point in the Battle of the Central Plains. Wanyan Zonghan led 80,000 gold soldiers to attack from the north and south, and Wanyan Zongbi led an army of 100,000 troops to advance from the west to the east. Combined with the combination of fighting and fighting, Zongze's army stationed in Xuzhou was advancing step by step.
At this time, Zongze's attack on Shanzhou was unfavorable. The 10,000 troops led by Chen Cui were ambushed by 20,000 cavalry led by Wanyan Zonghan in the east of Shanfu County in Shanzhou. Chen Que fled back to Xuzhou with less than a thousand people.
The disastrous defeat of Shanzhou and the fall of Bianliang made Zongze realize that the war situation was increasingly unfavorable to the Song army. In order to preserve his troops and not be wiped out by the Jin soldiers, Zongze had to make a painful decision to abandon the Jingdong Road and withdraw to the south. State, fighting against the golden soldiers on the front line of Chuzhou.
Zongze's army retreated to the south, making the Jin soldiers no longer obstructed. In just ten days, more than 100,000 Jin soldiers swept across the entire Central Plains and Shandong, including Xuzhou, Haizhou, Shanzhou, Yingtianfu, and Guidefu on the East and West Roads of Beijing. As well as dozens of state capitals such as Caizhou, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, Yingchangfu, Ruzhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou, etc. on Jingxibei Road, all fell into the hands of Jin Bing.
For a while, the court of Lin'an was shaken, and calls for accountability for the defeat resounded through the ruling and opposition parties.
That night, Huang Qianshan, the servant under the door, was reading a book in the study. At this time, a housekeeper reported outside the door, "Master, there is a person outside the house, who seems to be the son of Du Chong, and said that he has something important to see the master!"
Huang Qianshan put down the book and thought about it, then smiled and said: "Take him to the study outside and wait, I will come after changing clothes!"
Needless to say, Huang Qianshan can also guess why Du Chong came here. Du Chong lost Bianliang City, which made the government and the public angry. Yes, it depends on how sincere Du Chong can show.
Huang Qianshan changed clothes and came to the outer study. The person who was waiting anxiously in the room was Du Hao, the eldest son of Du Chong. When he saw Huang Qianshan entering the study, he knelt down and paid respects. my father!"
